"The high gorge rises from the flat lake, and the waterfall sees the flowing spring. The fairy trail cannot be found, and the human trail is not safe. Stargazing is a line of sky, and the white dragon is hidden in a deep pool. The temple is a gate valve, and the rivers and lakes are worried about Li Yuan. Meng Yan looked at the white water cave not far away and sighed.

The battle of Shaoling has ended, Deng Gang and Yu Geng entered the Dragon Cave side by side, so that Cao Li and Feng You did not have time to prepare, but in five days, Cao and Feng rolled up all the gold and silver and retreated to Hezhou with the remnants of the army.

Unconsciously it is almost the New Year, Meng Yan has no intention of marching into Hezhou again, the battle line is too long, all the way north since 60,000 military horses have been expanded to 150,000 soldiers and horses, the supply of grain and grass and the quality of soldiers are problems, which need to be solved urgently.

"County Prince, the soldiers of the Kaiyang Battalion and the Tianshu Battalion are fighting again in Xicheng, and General Yu Geng is now leading people to block the gate of the Tianshu Battalion." The new deputy general of the guard battalion, Quartz, said.

"What about Jin Qian? He just watched Yu Geng come to the door? Meng Yan asked sharply, Yu Geng's temperament is really difficult to control, and it is not once or twice to punish him, but as long as he treats Jin Qian, he can't hold his temperament.

"General Jin didn't show up, and now it's General Lu Ping leading the soldiers to confront General Yu," Quartz paused and said, "General Meng Huan is also in the conflict. ”

Meng Yan sighed: "I wanted to do the reorganization after the year, but it seems that I can't wait for that time, Quartz, you take my token and let the guard battalion tie up a few of them to the big tent for me, and also notify the camp owners that they will go to the big tent." ”

"What about General Meng Huan?" Quartz has been here for so long, and it is still difficult to adapt to treating Meng Yan's relatives as ordinary people.

"All the troubles I said are tied up!" Meng Yan is rarely stern.

Quartz was stunned, it seemed that this conflict really annoyed Meng Yan, and hurriedly ordered him to go to the Xicheng Tianshu camp to be stationed, and on the other side, he arranged for people to go to each battalion to inform the commander.

Quartz hurried to the gate of the Tianshu camp when his head was still big, Yu Geng had already moved his weapons with Lu Ping, originally thinking that it would be easy to deal if it was just a confrontation, but this had already moved the knife and gun, but there was no room to turn around, thinking of Meng Yan's stern look, he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "The commander has an order, and the pro-guard battalion will tie up all the troublemakers and send them to the big tent, no matter whether they are rich or low!" ”

This voice first suppressed Meng Huan, who was about to rush to the camp, first of all, Quartz didn't have the courage to fake orders, and again, the personal guard battalion came, plus Brother Qi's words seemed to be true, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The two generals stop!" The guard battalion has arrived, and the marshal is angry! ”

After quartz grabbed the reins and stopped the horse, he arched his hands at everyone and said embarrassedly: "The generals can't help it, the order of the commander dare not be disobeyed!" With a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers of the guard battalion who followed behind to tie up the generals, of course, those who could mix in the guard camp were not fools, and they were not tied up.

Quartz is a smart man, he knows that whether it is Yu Geng or Lu Ping, they are all fierce generals in the army, not to mention Meng Huan, the younger brother of the handsome, they are all people who want to save face, Quartz ordered people to press them into the carriage of temporary recruitment to avoid embarrassment, of course, he was newly surrendered, and this was also done to please everyone.

After Yu Geng and the three of them were tied back to the camp, Meng Yan did not intend to let them go, and stripped off their shirts and tied them to the general platform in the center of the barracks.

Meng Yan didn't care about the three of them in the big tent with the main generals of all walks of life, close to noon, the sky actually began to drift snow, Meng Yan saw the snowflakes falling outside the tent There were some different emotions in his heart, the last time he saw snow was in Dongyang City, it has been four or five years in a flash, and he has become a commander of the army from a fearless teenager.

Meng Yan watched the snow fall heavier and heavier, and there were three people tied outside, all of whom were capable people and could not be punished too much, so he made a decision and said: "Everyone, the snow scene outside is good, why don't you announce the will of the lord of the country and the things that have been set down in Dianjiangtai." ”

Everyone hurriedly said yes, everyone knew that the three people outside were in urgent need of assistance, and even Ye Bohuai, who had always liked to frolic, also felt that he had to say two good words.

The group walked out, and Yu Geng, who was originally wilted, immediately turned into a fighting when he saw Jin Qian, staring at Jin Qian with his neck stalked, and Meng Yan swept over with a sharp look Yu Geng immediately wilted.

Meng Yan asked Quartz to put the three of them down, one by one wrapped in cotton clothes and shivering, Meng Huan couldn't even hold the ginger soup in his hand, and Su Qing, who was still dressed in a strong suit, came over and poured it into him.

Meng Yan walked up to the general platform and cleared his throat, and said loudly: "The will of the lord of the country has arrived, praised our achievements in the past half a year, and also gave a lot of rewards, including gold and silver and knighthoods, and allowed us to appoint officials and generals at all levels below the rank of assassin in the course of the Northern Expedition of the Bai Ze Army, I know that you are thinking about being an official these days, and today I also talked with the chief generals of the Bai Ze Army, we are' We can't follow in their footsteps, so we must break this practice and put the people first. ”

After hearing this, most of the generals at all levels looked at each other, and their eyes were on their respective commanders, and then they saw Bai Ze's army commander Shi Nie Huan slowly walking towards the point of the general platform and said loudly: "The lord of the country changed Lingling to the state, and Linwu was the temporary place of the Lincheng Assassin Mansion, and the state intended to take the county prince as the governor of the western capital, and the governor's office was located in Baoqing, and the power to appoint and dismiss the officials and generals of the nine counties in the three states was decided by the governor's office, and now the seven battalions under the command of Bai Zejun have a total of 150,000 soldiers, and the county lord has discussed with the commanders of each battalion. The list of officials and generals below the commander of each battalion is already in the hands of your commander. ”

Nie Huan glanced back at Meng Yan, Meng Yan motioned for him to continue, Nie Huan continued: "The order of the governor of the western capital, with Lincheng Hou Ye Bohuai as the envoy of the Bai Ze Army, with Luling Hou Zhuo Bailing as the deputy envoy of the Bai Ze Army, Nie Huan, the son of Shaonan County, as the Sima of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Meng Xin as the commander of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the commander of the Lincheng Assassin, Longcheng Bo Deng Gang as the commander of the Shaoling Assassin and the commander of the Tianquan Battalion, Xue Zhen of Yangxi County as the commander of the Lingling Assassin and the commander of the Tianji Battalion, and the male Yu Geng of Linwu County as the commander of the Kaiyang Battalion and the 20,000 cavalry as the vanguard army stationed in Longdong City, Jin Qian, a man from Wugang County, was the commander of the Tianshu Battalion, leading 30,000 troops as a partial division and stationed in Qiyang County. ”

Suddenly, Meng Yan interjected: "Yu Geng, as a general in the army, actually fights with people in private, your title is that you earn your life and I can't control it, but you, the commander of the Kaiyang battalion, can still be punished by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, so Yu Geng is ordered to join the Kaiyang battalion to temporarily take command of the envoy, in order to see the after-effects, Meng Huan, as a deputy general, can not persuade the commander to act, demoted to the rank of captain, and the punishment is closed for three days, and Lu Ping is demoted to the commander of the Tianshu battalion and confined for three days. ”

Meng Yan's punishment was decided, and the three of them were relieved, the three of them knelt down to receive the order, and promised not to commit it again in the future, Meng Yan has always disbelieved in this kind of promise, it doesn't matter, there is someone who can cure them later.

"The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has three divisions and two supervisors, the Military Council Division is the main military and shall not interfere in the locality, and the Military Council Division is five people, mainly the Metropolitan Governor, with Lincheng Hou Ye Bohuai, Luling Hou Zhuo Bailing, Shaonan County Zi Nie Huan, Linwu County male Yu Geng, and Wugang County male Jin Qian as auxiliaries; The chief secretary for government affairs is the local people's livelihood government, and there are three government secretaries, mainly the metropolitan governor, supplemented by Xue Zhen, the son of Bodeng Gang in Longcheng and Yangxi County; The people's supervisor, based on the recommendation of the people of the three states, selected eleven people and merchants to form the people's supervisor, the main supervision of the metropolitan governor's mansion since the metropolitan governor and the officials and generals at all levels, the people's supervision is directly responsible to the metropolitan governor's office, and Nie Huan, the son of Shaonan County, will withdraw immediately after assisting in the formation. "There will be an uproar as soon as this move is outstanding, and this is the first time I have heard of such a new thing.

In the discussion just now, Nie Huan had already felt an uproar, this move was unacceptable, all the people who begged for a living on the tip of the knife finally got their current status, and let the people supervise, the important thing is that they were actually given back power, which is really unacceptable, and later Meng Yan tried to block everyone's mouths with a sentence against the public, "You are all from the poor people, why did we start an army to fight against the crime?" Are you still willing to suffer from the family's gate valves? Who is providing for you? Meng Yan's three questions did make everyone reflect, but it still took time to test whether the lower-level officials and generals could accept it, and even he was not sure.

Nie Huan saw that everyone's voices were gradually weakening, and then said: "The chief intelligence reward and punishment of the military law supervisor is mainly based on the Tianxuan battalion, and the commander of the Tianxuan battalion makes Zhuo Baiqing the military judge prosecutor, and Meng Yan is the military law judge supervisor and the young supervisor; The Mingjian Division is mainly based on the pro-guard battalion, mainly supervising officials and generals at all levels, with Su Qing as the chief envoy of the Mingjian Division, and Quartz as the deputy envoy of the Mingjian Division. ”

Everyone didn't react for a while, who Su Qing was, and saw the pear smile at the generals: "The little girl is the envoy of the Mingjian Division, I hope you will give some thin noodles in the future." ”

Ye Bohuai shook his head helplessly, Meng Yan wanted to eat a fat man in one breath, first used the People's Affairs Department to restrict everyone, and then broke the convention that women are not officials, and directly appointed Crisp Pear to be the head of the Mingjian Division to supervise everyone, if this was a rebellion in other armies, Meng Yan used the opportunity of the integration of the old and the new to directly wedge these two nails, which seemed to break the inherent harmony, and in essence deepened everyone's mutual containment, I have to say that it is wonderful.

A vigorous whole army came to an end in everyone's incomprehension, everyone has their own thoughts, those who are nervous, those who are smiling, some people have the idea of retreating, some people are full of confidence, this is also what Meng Yan wants to see, he has made it clear to the battalion owners that if there is dissatisfaction, you can directly ask Bai Zejun to be transferred, and it is never allowed to be blocked, this is also the best purge, because the road ahead will be more difficult, Meng Yan needs a pure and united team, For him, that's the real way to win.
