Zhang Chao is well aware of the deep meaning of the phrase "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", and if the army is in chaos, then the country will fall into chaos. There are too many such things in history, and although he has enough trust in the army, he really has to guard against it. For this reason, at his request, Lu Fei, the head of the Tianyan Organization, arranged for some people to enter the various armies through various means, so that they could fight in wartime, and they could collect the thoughts of some officers in peacetime and report them.

The secret actions of several battalion commanders were learned by the members of Tianyan, and they immediately reported to Zhang Chao through special channels.

After Zhang Chao, who was in the camp, received the report, his face became a little ugly.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share prosperity and prosperity, which is the change of people's hearts.

But now, it is impossible to do it with tribulation, let alone live a good life together, and if these people have such thoughts, it must not be tolerated, if not, who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen a second or even a third time?

Zhang Chao would not allow the army to mutiny, although according to the members of Tianyan, these people had no intention of killing him, but just wanted to leave him, but he still couldn't tolerate it.

This is not Zhang Chao's domineering, but when he fights, these circumstances may directly lead to the outcome of a war, and may even strangle his dream of evacuation in the cradle.

Prevent the fulfillment of your dreams, this is the enemy. To be soft on such people is to be cruel to oneself.

"Come on, where are Ziman and Zhongkang? Arrest people by the names of the people on this list. Zhang Chao was angry, waved his hand and threw a bamboo stick off the table.

"No." After Dian Wei's Xu Chu agreed, he took the iron guard to arrest people. In the audience, Guo Jia was left standing there looking at the angry Zhang Chao and said: "Lord, some of these people are old people in the Chen Liu's period, and they were also born and died with us, if they are killed like this, will they be?" ”

Guo Jia didn't say the next words, he was also afraid of arousing Zhang Chao's anger.

"Well, I know, don't worry, I know what to do. These people's capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes are also inevitable, isn't Jinyang City in need of people to pave official roads? It was arranged for them to work as coolies with the Huns who had been captured before. In addition, all their assets in the annexed state were confiscated, and their families were evicted from the annexed state. The anger on Zhang Chao's face was already fading, and under Guo Jia's persuasion, he did not kill anyone, but his practice was indeed much more painful than killing.

The mere expulsion of family members from the state is something that many people can't afford. How many places in the world are there that are more stable and prosperous than the state?

There was no killing, but the punishment was far greater than killing. As soon as several battalion commanders were arrested, as soon as the results of the punishment came out, many soldiers were immediately shocked, and even the little Jiujiu in the hearts of some people with different intentions was also stifled.

Most of these battalion commanders have also made their homes in Jinyang City, and their families are also enjoying the supreme glory because of their efforts, but the moment they are arrested, it means that everything is over. Not only do they have to do a hard life that ordinary people can't bear, but their families will also hate them and be ashamed of their actions from now on.

The civil strife was temporarily resolved, but Zhang Chao and Guo Jia both knew that such iron-blooded methods were indispensable. If you can't win the battle, this kind of morale can't be maintained for long, once the day of the real defeat, Jinyang City is also occupied by the enemy, then this so-called punishment will be equivalent to losing its meaning.

It's just that the current situation is complicated, and no matter where the troops are deployed, it may affect the overall situation, and even directly cause the defeat of the entire war situation. In comparison, all we can do is wait, not for a miracle, but for which side will have a change in the tide of battle.

Compared with the depression and helplessness suffered by Zhang Chao's department, Kebineng is indeed living a good life.

Although Yuan Shao was marching into Hanoi, he didn't want to turn his face with Zhang Chao immediately, so he didn't send any troops to support, but the 200,000 stone grain and grass they sent was indeed enough for them to besiege Zhang Chao's department for a long time.

It is foreseeable that what Yuan Shao wants to see is that Kebi and Zhang Chao can consume each other, and then he will take advantage of the fisherman, and if he wants to achieve this, the price he needs to pay is to provide enough food and grass for himself.

When seizing Youzhou, Yuan Shao did rob a lot of grain and grass, which was quite sufficient, but he was still satisfied for the time being if he didn't send troops and used some food for himself. And once Zhang Chao and Kebi can fight for a lose-lose situation, he will send troops to seize Youzhou or even merge the state, and the price of paying these grains and grass will be worth it.

Yuan Shao has his own little abacus, and Kebineng also has his own plans.

Yuan Shaojun is indeed a large general, but when it comes to strength, he really doesn't put it much in his eyes. The other party is mostly infantry, and the Xianbei people, who are all cavalry, will naturally not take it seriously. However, Zhang Chao has a strong cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, and the terrifying lethality is the place where Kebi can have a headache, what he has to do now is to use Yuan Shao's grain and grass to deal with Zhang Chao, once this enemy is solved, it is difficult to say whose territory Youzhou will be.

Of course, he also knew that Zhang Chao's powerful Kebineng did not take a strong offensive posture, but he was waiting, waiting for the hearts of the Bingzhou army to fluctuate and the soldiers to be low, so he could fight in one fell swoop.

For example, he heard that several battalion commanders were going to rebel in the Bingzhou Army, and his face was even more happy, thinking that this was an excellent omen.

Kebi can wait, waiting for the opponent to sit and die, and the self is confused. For this reason, when his brother Tho Luo Hou asked for troops to attack several times, he refused. He thinks he's doing the right thing, but he doesn't know that such behavior is chronic suicide.

How to say, Zhang Chao is also a general appointed by the emperor himself, and he has developed very rapidly in recent years, and his troops are also strong. If it weren't for the fact that he was going to venture into Youzhou this time, he wouldn't be so passive. But even if his forces are now used on the blade, there are still reinforcements to move.

In comparison, Kebi Neng is indeed a lot worse, although his cavalry is strong, but the source of troops is not sufficient, but it is a tribe of single-handedness, and he has not unified Xianbei, once he fights for a long time, he is destined not to take advantage of anything and get good results. It's like now that he seems to be besieging Zhang Chao on the surface, why didn't he sink his feet here? He had no idea that behind him, there were powerful Zhang Chao's reinforcements coming.

Jia Xu led tens of thousands of troops to fight in Liaodong, Xu Shu led tens of thousands of troops to guard Huguan, and Li Ru to guard Hedong, it seems that Zhang Chao's army is imprisoned, but if you understand it carefully, I am afraid that you will know that there is another army that has disappeared and has not appeared in everyone's sight, this army is Zhang Liao's 10,000 cavalry and another Xianbei tribe led by 50,000 cavalry led by Yu Budugen.

More than a year ago, Zhang Chao entered the Hulian Mountains, and persuaded Budu Gensuo with his courage and conditions, in order to make him truly obey his orders, he also let the general Zhang Liao marry Shan Yu's daughter Aya, and at the same time sent 10,000 cavalry and provided food and grass to help it grow.

It was from that time on, that this powerful cavalry team disappeared from everyone's sight, and over time it was forgotten, that is, even Kebineng did not include this army this time.

Others will forget, but Zhang Chao will not forget, and the reinforcements he has been waiting for are exactly this one.

After Zhang Chao issued the Black Eagle Message, the Budu Root, who was strengthening himself and unifying the Xianbei tribe in the north of the Hulian Mountains, immediately began to turn the head of the spear, aiming his eyes at Kebineng's back and his tribe.

Originally, after receiving Zhang Chao's support, Budugen's entry was very smooth. After the grain and grass were gone, they just rushed around to kill, and for a time they also subdued some small tribes, and now they are entering the depths of the mountain range, preparing for a decisive battle with several larger Xianbei tribes. But at this time, Zhang Chao's biography arrived, and he was a little embarrassed when he saw it.

As far as Budu is fundamentally concerned, he doesn't want to rescue Zhang Chao right away, it's not that he wants to be ungrateful, but the current situation is very favorable to himself, all the way through the pass, so that his army has been greatly replenished, there are a lot of young men in the small tribes who have joined his army, originally killed all the way, lost nearly 20,000 cavalry, but got 50,000 prisoners, that is to say, now he has 80,000 soldiers.

With such strength, coupled with the supply of sufficient grain and grass, what he has to do now is to have a decisive battle with several Xianbei tribes, and strive to truly unify the Xianbei tribes in the mountain range after a few battles. Once this thing is done, I believe that Zhang Chao will be very happy.

But when he saw that the matter was about to be done, such an order came, and he wanted to delay it for a while, and then try to solve the enemy in front of him first.

Budugen wanted to delay, but someone did not agree. This person is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.

With the grace of knowing and being entrusted with important tasks, Zhang Liao's loyalty to Zhang Chao is undoubted.

Over the past year or so, after several battles with other Xianbei tribes on behalf of Zhang Chao and Budugen, his original 10,000 cavalry has now grown to 20,000, and all of them are elite.

To say that the Xianbei warriors in those small tribes are also very discerning, they saw that the Zhang Liao cavalry was well-equipped, especially the sharp sabers and solid armor, which was exactly what they longed for. Therefore, whenever a small tribe is conquered, there are often more people who want to join Zhang Liao's army than the Xianbei warriors who want to join Budugen.
