When the servants all left, only Zhao Yun, Gongsun Ce, and Ji Liang were left in the huge hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Yun sat in the top position with a cold face, glanced at Gongsun Ce, and asked, "Lord Gongsun, what military orders did General Wen give before leaving?" ”

Although those who don't know whether the people in the Governor's Mansion know Wen Chou's military orders, it is always right to let those inconsequential servants go. These servants made Zhao Yun feel very annoying, and it could even be said that he was bored to the point of boredom, because whenever he saw them, Zhao Yun's mind would appear in the luxurious life of Wen Chou in the Governor's Mansion.

Gongsun Ce glanced up at Zhao Yun slightly, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "General Qiyu, before General Wen left, he gave an order to the commanders of the major legions, asking the commanders of the major legions not to obey the orders of any officials sent by the court before repelling the army of peace, and to hand over the command to Mr. Jia, General Wen's staff. ”

"What??"

Zhao Yun's expression changed drastically and he stood up. Wen Chou is so bold that he dares to give such a military order! You know, Zhao Yun is here to represent Liu Tai, don't Wen Chou understand? In other words, Wen Chou wants to disobey Liu Tai openly, which has never happened in northern Xinjiang.

"Are those corps commanders all rubbish? How can the commanders of the legions obey such an excessively powerful military order? Zhao Yun shouted angrily.

"The general is angry" Gongsun Ce couldn't help but take a step back under the pressure of Zhao Yun's momentum. And Ji Liang on the side just frowned slightly, and then stood there as if he was nothing.

"Anger? How to calm anger? If this matter is stabbed to His Royal Highness, General Wen's life will be difficult to protect, although the right and wrong of the Western Regions cannot be distinguished for the time being, but this military order is very likely to kill General Wen. ”

Zhao Yun was not angry at Wen Chou who snatched his weapon, but angry at Wen Chou who didn't take his life seriously. The king may forgive his courtiers for some of their mistakes, but sometimes it is a heinous sin if a courtier disobeys the king's orders.

The authority of the leader of a country, a form of government, cannot be questioned, and the courtiers must not disobey the king's orders for any reason, otherwise the great crime of quarreling and exterminating the clan will come at any time.

Zhao Yun knew that Liu Tai was a broad monarch, otherwise he would not have created such a great cause in just ten years. But Zhao Yun is not sure that Liu Tai is also a person who can tolerate the wanton overstepping of his authority by his subordinates!

Wen Chou is obviously overstepping his authority!

Zhao Yun didn't want Wen Chou to die, after all, Wen Chou was an old man in the military in Northern Xinjiang, and he was kind to many, many emerging generals, such as Zhao Yun and others. And Wen Chou originally intended to be good, otherwise, the time for the transfer of military power would not have been set after the rest and retirement of the army.

"General Qiyu, in fact, General Wen did not overstep his authority"

Gongsun Ce looked at the angry Zhao Yun and said in a somewhat helpless tone.

"What??" Hearing this, Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gongsun Ce in confusion. As far as Zhao Yun knows, the military law in Northern Xinjiang stipulates that after the transfer of authority, the subordinate troops under his command can no longer be required to carry out anything, right? And after Wen Chou was resigned, he once forcibly demanded that the major legions in the Western Regions obey the military order, hasn't this violated military law?

Gongsun Ce looked at the thick worry on Zhao Yun's face, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. Since ancient times, the competition for real power has been the most cruel, especially sitting in the Western Regions, which is equivalent to controlling nearly 200,000 troops, which is a very terrifying number, but from Zhao Yun's expression, Zhao Yun does not value military power, but the surname of the previous governor Wen Chou.

"General Hui, as early as when His Royal Highness established the power of the Metropolitan Governor, there was a stipulation, that is, the Metropolitan Governor had three priority rights to perform military affairs, and the validity period of this priority was valid for three months after the removal of the Metropolitan Governor from his post." Gongsun Ce looked at Zhao Yun with respect and said. Zhao Yun's ability and character cannot but be respected by Gongsun Ce.

"When was this priority set? Why don't I know? "Zhao Yun is a general who is both civil and military, and he has long been deeply aware of the military law of the Heavenly Army. But the problem is that Zhao Yun has never seen a statute about this article in any legal code!

Of course, the Metropolitan Governor has privileges, this Zhao Yun has heard of it, but these privileges should be based on the different conditions in different places, and formulate some kind of military law, right? While this privilege may not sound like much, the actual privilege is terrifying. This is also the reason why it is said that the princes of the capital do not give in at all.

The prerogative of making military laws has already made the authority of the Metropolitan Governor superior, and if there is a priority over military orders, then it will not let people live? Although it is said that there are only three priorities, these three times can completely cause turmoil in the Heavenly Army!

This is not alarmism!

You know, priority means deliberately letting the legions under your rule bypass the king's orders, which is a great right.

Zhao Yun really couldn't understand, why did Liu Tai give the governor this privilege? Could it be that Liu Tai's brain suddenly crashed at a certain time? To pass such a ridiculous privilege?

"This is a secret order," Gongsun Ce said with his head down, a little bitter in his tone. In fact, before this, Gongsun Ce was no better than Zhao Yun, and he didn't know the specific situation about the priority of military orders. But before Wen Chou left, he summoned Gongsun Ce and Ji Liang to the Governor's Mansion, and took out a document personally instructed by Liu Tai, which clearly stated the scope of power regarding the priority of military orders.

When Gongsun Ce told Zhao Yun everything he knew, Zhao Yun lost his temper and sat there without saying a word, frowning as if thinking about something. In fact, after Gongsun Ce's explanation, Zhao Yun also understood a little bit about why Liu Tai approved the priority of military orders.

In fact, it is very simple, for example, in the Western Regions, as long as the Qiang people in the south and the rest in the west do not look for trouble, there will be nothing to do in normal times. But what if this Qiang tribe and rest in peace find trouble in the Western Regions? When the time comes, it happens to meet the change of the top level of the army, wouldn't it be that the defense will be left behind, and if the border is broken by the enemy, the losses will be very terrifying!

However, this priority is not without constraints, that is, when it comes to the life and death of the Heavenly Army, or when the overall situation is uncertain, the governor cannot easily give orders. In order to limit the priority of military orders, Liu Tai gave each governor three special arrows, which cannot be imitated at present, so he is not afraid that the governors will overstep their authority.

Of course, judging from the current situation in northern Xinjiang, since Liu Tai has issued the power and status of the revocation of the governor, then this so-called priority of military orders naturally no longer exists.

In fact, the main reason why Liu Tai allowed the existence of the priority of military orders was that the territory of Northern Xinjiang was too vast, the border defense line was too long, and at that time, the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang were separated from Xiliang, and with the information ability of this era, it was impossible to make the most accurate deployment of the current situation in the Western Regions, and in order to prevent military orders from erroneously, resulting in heavy losses to the army, so there was this kind of privilege that could rebel against the constraints of the monarch and ministers.

"By the way, who is this Mr. Jia?"

Zhao Yun suddenly reacted that Wen Chou handed over the military power to his own staff, which means that this staff member did not have any position in the Western Regions. An ordinary person? Can you actually oversee the entire Western Regions? Is this ugly article stupid or brain-dead?

"General Hui, Mr. Jia is General Wen's staff, his people have a plan to reach the sky, not only in the officialdom, even in the army is very admired by the audience, when General Wen handed over the military power to Mr. Jia, there are many people who speak out against it, but the officers of the Tianci Army oppose very few, under the pressure of the general situation, the military generals at all levels in the Western Regions can only recognize Mr. Jia's status."

When Mr. Jia was mentioned, there was a deep sense of admiration in Gongsun Ce's eyes. You must know that Gongsun Ce is a great talent who was named by Liu Tai himself, and with Gongsun Ce's ability, even if he thinks that he is slightly inferior to Dongfang Jue and Guo Jia and others, he will definitely not have any admiration.

It can be seen from Gongsun Ce's expression that this person called Mr. Jia has great ability! can not only make civil officials admire, but also make the facial features obey orders, how much personal charm does this have? In case this person wants to rebel, then

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

Immediately, Zhao Yun eagerly inquired about Mr. Jia's situation, hoping to get a little bit of Mr. Jia's weakness from Gongsun Ce's mouth.

I never thought that Mr. Jia was extremely mysterious.

No one knows where he came from, how he appeared, and even in the past few years, there have been no relatives around. It seems that Mr. Jia is like a lone wolf in the desert, always unpredictable.

However, I can determine two points about Mr. Jia.

First, Mr. Jia is about 40 years old.

Second, listening to Mr. Jia's accent, Mr. Jia should be from Liangzhou.

A native of Liangzhou, 40 years old!!

Zhao Yun, who understood these two points, was suddenly stunned. Because Zhao Yun remembered one thing, that is, the man who brought great trouble to the Tianci Army back then and made the Yellow Turban Army dozens of times more terrifying!

Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!

The same surname is Jia, the same is from Liangzhou, and he is also about forty years old.

Is there wood that is more similar?

There is wood??

No!!

As far as Zhao Yun knows, there is also a very mysterious Mr. Jia in the Lianghuai Cao camp, but this Mr. Jia does not show his true face, so no one knows his age. Although Mr. Jia in Lianghuai also has a Liangzhou accent, his obvious tone and all aspects seem to be very young, and he often hides his tone with hoarseness, so it is difficult to identify Mr. Jia in Lianghuai as Jia Xu!

But Mr. Jia in the Western Regions has no cover-up! According to Gongsun Ce's description, Mr. Jia used to have a two-cut mustache, a long face, and his hair draped behind his back, perhaps because he had been weathered. Mr. Jia's skin looks very dark, and the overall combination of others will make people feel a little obscene. Well, that is, which kind of thing is not easy to attract attention.

The more clearly Gongsun Ce's description of Mr. Jia, the more Zhao Yun thinks that this Mr. Jia is the real Jia Xu?

It's just true or false, and guessing alone can't be accurate.

In the past ten years, Liu Tai has never given up pursuing Jia Xu's news. But he didn't get any of Jia Xu's whereabouts, if it weren't for the reputation of Mr. Jia in the past two years, maybe a lot of manpower and material resources of the second group of Dragon and Tiger would still be wasted looking for traces in various places.

If this Mr. Jia from the Western Regions is really Jia Xu, then

Who is Mr. Jia from Lianghuai?

Zhao Yun was very annoyed, frowning and a little depressed. The current Western Regions is like a hodgepodge, and Zhao Yun really doesn't know where to start. However, there can be no exceptions to the matter of recovering military power, and in any case, military power must not fall into the hands of outsiders! Even if this Mr. Jia is very likely to be Jia Xu that Liu Tai has been looking for for more than ten years.

For generals, for ministers, it is impossible to do things directly.

As a general, Zhao Yun is fully qualified to forcibly return military power.

However, it is possible to contradict Wen Chou.

But you must know that in the Western Regions, there are a full 170,000 troops.

One-fifth of the entire Heavenly Army.

Zhao Yun would never allow any possible problems with this 170,000 army!

In the second year of Tianxi, at the beginning of June, several fast horses were killed in a row, and Zhao Yun and his general Ma Chao finally rushed to Shule, the capital of Shule State, before the Shule Kingdom was surrounded by the rest of the iron cavalry.

Shule is 9,350 miles away from Chang'an, with 1,510 domestic households, 18,647 mouths, and 2,000 victorious soldiers. The Marquis of Shule, the Marquis of Hu, the Marquis of the Auxiliary State, the Captain, the left and right generals, the left and right cavalry kings, and the left and right translators.

It is 2,210 miles to the east and 560 miles to Shache in the south. There are city columns. Xidang Dayueshi, Dawan, Kangju Road. It is the barrier and transportation artery of the central and western regions. The commerce in the capital is extremely developed, and the population flow is very large, of course, the current war is urgent, so all the non-Shule people are driven to the major cities behind Shule City.

Generally speaking, as long as the Tianci army has enough time to prepare, it will relocate and disperse the people in the city, after all, under the war, no one can take care of the civilian people, and the people in the city will also increase the burden of the Tianci army.

However, the situation in Shule is different.

After all, most of the country is adjacent to the west, and most of the population living in the city of Shule is white. Whites, on the other hand, are not covered by the God-given Army's protections. In fact, not only whites, in the regulations of the Heavenly Army, blacks, people from the Western Regions, and some yellow people from the outer seas are not protected in the regulations, unless they are confirmed to be Chinese islands like Yizhou.

Anyone who finds something wrong will be put on death row for men, and women will be treated better and temporarily sent to take care of them, and after the war is over, they will either become military records, or they will be released with ransom money from the families of these women.

In the past few years, the Tianci Army has learned a lot of white methods, among which the most popular thing for the Tianci Army is the white man's ransom rule. This kind of rule makes the generals and soldiers at all levels of the Tianci Army have a lot of extra money, and they are naturally happy to be accepted, and with the consent of Wen Chou, the private sale of white people is allowed by military law.

The whites also knew the horror of the Heaven-given Army, and knew that the large army of the Heaven-given Army was to be stationed in Shule City, and most of the whites had already fled. These white people are not stupid, they have long learned to be obedient, if they are caught by the Tianci army, even if they can be redeemed by relatives or friends in the future, they will inevitably shed their skin, why stay in the city?

At this moment, it is obviously impossible to enter Shule City as an ordinary person. When Zhao Yun showed the royal edict covered with the king's seal, it immediately alarmed the entire Shule City, and all the commanders of the major legions stationed in Shule City came. For Zhao Yun, they admire it from the bottom of their hearts, you must know that Zhao Yun is the first general in Northern Xinjiang, and the military has the highest official position so far!

However, Zhao Yun didn't give these legion commanders any good looks. Along the way, Zhao Yun has seen too many human tragedies, even to the point of numbness. According to the people's personal accounts, Zhao Yun also learned that although it was not the God-given Army that caused the destruction of these small countries, it was the God-given Army that supported them behind the scenes.

Well, this makes Zhao Yun's conscience a little better.

In order to prevent the prestige of the Heavenly Army from being ruined. When Wen Chou was in office, he came up with a good idea, that is, to respect the thoughts of the ancestors to raze and conquer the raze. As the saying goes, the fight in the nest is the most brutal struggle. With the support of the Heavenly Army, the territory of the Elite Kingdom has continued to expand in the past few years, from a country with only two or three small cities to a vast "superpower" that now occupies almost one-fifth of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions is located in Central Asia, with a vast territory and hundreds of countries, although most of them are uncivilized, and it is not easy to occupy one-fifth of the territory.

But why can the Elite Kingdom occupy such a large territory? All this is naturally thanks to the Heavenly Army. Every time the Tianci army attacks the city, and when it reaches the last moment, it will hand over the task to the soldiers of the Elite Country to complete. As the saying goes, if a tiger can't be beaten, a cat can't be dealt with?

It was easy, and under the opening of the heaven-sent army, the elite national soldiers were invincible.

Of course, none of this is worth talking about.

The most important thing is that the reason why the various foreign cities and territories currently occupied by the Elite Nation are so miserable and devastated is entirely caused by the Elite Nation's soldiers. No one could have imagined that their own people could beat their own people to such a ferocious degree. As soon as the soldiers of the country broke through the town, they entered the city and carried out a massacre, frantically plundering everything, whether it was gold, silver, jewelry, food, and cloth.

However, to the frustration of the national soldiers, most of the things they grabbed fell into the hands of the Heavenly Army. Not long after, the national soldiers had a temper with the Tianci Army because of the unfair distribution, and they refused to go to the battlefield when they died. But this situation could not be maintained, and the national soldiers immediately changed their attitude, which was much better than the situation of passive sabotage?

Why? Because the Heavenly Army pulled out the butcher's knife!

Anyone who is unwilling to participate in the siege will be killed!

Bloody order, passed on from Wen Chou!

Under the suppression, the national soldiers surrendered faster than rats, and they didn't even dare to resist!

You must know that the most terrifying thing in the entire Western Regions is the Elite National Soldiers, if you really don't know what to do, let alone the tens of thousands of Elite National Soldiers in the country, even if it is millions, tens of millions, it can't withstand the slaughter of the Heaven-Sent Army.

And after the threat of the Heavenly Army, the cruel surname of the elite national soldiers was even more stimulated. Since you can't change the strength of most of the loot that has been taken away, then go and grab more! Anyway, it's not their own things, they can take more if they grab more, why don't they do it? Under such circumstances, all the towns selected by the Tianci army can imagine how miserable the end is, it can be said that it has reached the point of misery, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, who are accustomed to killing, can't help but want to vomit every time they see the bones piled up by tens of thousands of people in the Western Regions!!
