Zhao Shun hurriedly came to Guo Ying's house, and after entering the door, he saw Guo Ying drinking under the service of several singers.

"Master Hou!"

Zhao Shun bowed.

Guo Ying was already a little drunk at this time, pushed away the singer who was blocking her vision, looked at Zhao Shun, and said with a smile: "Hey, why are you here, it's okay to come, let's have a drink together." ”

Zhao Shun smiled awkwardly and did not answer, but directly got down to business: "Master Hou, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

"Say."

Guo Ying retracted her gaze and listened while flirting with the singer.

Zhao Shun was speechless for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, I found that recently Master Ma always finds opportunities to talk to the soldiers guarding him, and the soldiers who have talked to him seem to have changed people, how can I say it......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shun frowned, he was also from a poor background, and he had heard Li Wei's words, so he could understand why the soldiers were angry to a certain extent.

But the ass decides the head, and he can no longer fully appreciate the pain of these soldiers who have been detached from the bottom.

"Oh, that's right." Guo Ying waved his hand disapprovingly after hearing this, "What is this?" Let him go. ”

Lu Zhongheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he snorted coldly with some displeasure: "Then who knows, it may be that I am old!" ”

In this era, the method of governing the army is very rude, whoever dares to disobey the superiors will be beaten with a military stick, and the heavy will be a small life, and the generals may be more merciful to their cronies, so as to buy people's hearts, but they do not have such a good attitude towards ordinary soldiers.

Several subordinates followed.

"Master Hou, I don't think my subordinates are as obedient as before." Zhao Shun said worriedly.

A close subordinate asked.

Since the first two years after leveling some small toasts, Zhu Yuanzhang has not let these veterans participate in large-scale battles for a long time, Lu Zhongheng himself is fine, anyway, he has already been crowned, and he doesn't expect to be crowned, but these cronies who follow him still expect to make further military achievements.

He is a military general, not a civilian official, Zhu Yuanzhang has killed more corrupt officials, but he is very tolerant of military generals, so he doesn't care about this, but feels that it is a good thing for soldiers to hate civilian officials for them military generals.

"Master Hou should be strong and strong, how can those little guys like Sun Ke compare to those little guys on the battlefield?"

"Master Hou, why didn't Your Majesty let you go with you on this Northern Expedition?"

Without soldiers, Lu Zhongheng was not interested in staying in the barracks, so he directly found a mansion in the city to live and enjoy the flowers.

"That's it!"

"That is to say, some corrupt officials and corrupt officials are corrupt and pervert the law to oppress the people, and our soldiers are all from poor backgrounds, and they are all bullied by these corrupt officials and local tyrants." Zhao Shundao.

After sending Zhao Shun away, Guo Ying continued to drink and have fun.

In Qingyang Mansion, Shaanxi, Lu Zhongheng was ordered to train troops in Tuntian, but at this time, the soldiers were all transferred by Zhu Yuanzhang from the guard to the Northern Expedition, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Zhao Shun's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he finally had to say yes.

Guo Ying looked at him and asked, "What did he say?" ”

When Guo Ying heard this, his eyes immediately widened angrily and said: "The military order is like a mountain, who dares to disobey?" If you dare to be disobedient, you will be beaten until you are obedient! ”

Zhao Shun frowned and said nothing, although he also understood this principle, but he always felt that it was not so simple.

Hearing the commotion of these subordinates, Lu Zhongheng's face was a little ugly, but it was not easy to say anything.

"Okay, okay, we don't need to pull it down, let's just take the time to enjoy it, right?" A discerning cronie hurriedly spoke.

Lu Zhongheng took the opportunity to pick up his wine glass and said loudly: "That's it, let's fight and kill for most of our lives, it's time to enjoy it, come and drink!" ”

"I respect Lord Hou!"

"Come!"

The crowd diverted from the conversation and continued to drink.

But after putting down the wine glass, Lu Zhongheng's eyes flashed with worry.

Li Shanchang still has the letter, although he didn't fully listen to it, but he still buried hidden worries in his heart.

After a while, the house slave in the house hurriedly walked in and came to Lu Zhongheng's side and whispered a few words.

Lu Zhongheng's face changed, and then he stood up and said to everyone present: "You drink first, and I'll do something." ”

"Master Hou, please."

Everyone got up to respond, Lu Zhongheng nodded, and turned to leave.

When he came to the backyard study, the house servant took out a secret letter from his body and handed it to him.

After Lu Zhongheng waved away the house slave, he opened the letter, and when he saw the contents of it clearly, his eyes suddenly became solemn.

"Your Majesty is sick?"

Lu Zhongheng muttered to himself.

This letter was also sent by Li Shanchang, in which he not only emphasized the situation of these Huaixi nobles again, but also specifically mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang's illness.

Lu Zhongheng was entangled in his heart, he had actually believed most of the things Li Shanchang said, and the reason why he didn't dare to agree was just a fluke.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang has been strict with the law, although he has been lenient with the nobles, but the discipline must not be less, and it is a punishment at every turn.

Brothers have fought all their lives, so that they can enjoy pure happiness in the future? As a result, they won the war, won the world, and they had to be strictly controlled, and they were not allowed to do this or that, to be honest, they had some complaints about Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's position in their hearts is too heavy, and these generals easily have no courage to rebel, even if Li Shanchang repeatedly hinted in his letter that Zhu Yuanzhang is old and frail, he does not dare to come openly.

After thinking about it again and again, Lu Zhongheng finally made a decision, did not come forward, and secretly handed over some of his cronies to Li Shanchang for use.

In addition to Lu Zhongheng, others such as Fei Ju, Tang Shengzong and others also sent some cronies, but the number of these cronies is limited, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and there are only a few thousand people together.

After receiving their response, Li Shanchang suddenly scolded angrily: "These bastards, what are you doing with all this bit of people?" Shall I take these thousands of people to their deaths? And the white-eyed wolf of Lan Yu, it's only been a long time, and he has forgotten how his national throne came about! ”

Li Shanchang was annoyed and helpless.

Since Liu Ji gave Zhu Yuanzhang the idea of this guard system, the military power has been divided into two, the command of the army and the right to transfer troops are separated, and the generals are transferred back and forth, and it is too difficult to transfer troops privately.

When Li Shanchang was helpless, Feng Ji came over.

"Brother Shan, it's not good!" Feng Ji walked in and said hurriedly.

Li Shanchang, who was worried, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"News came from the north, the Northern Expeditionary Army won a great victory, and they were all captured and surrendered!" Feng Ji said bluntly.

Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale instantly: "It's over!" That's it! ”

The Northern Expeditionary Army won a big victory, and the control of the vassal kings such as Zhu Di and Zhu Li over the army will naturally increase greatly, so the time for Zhu Yuanzhang to do something to them will come!
