It was nearly October, and the weather between Heluo and Luo was getting colder, the grass and trees between the mountains were withering, and hundreds of knights were running north on the way, each with the color of wind and frost on their faces.

At present, the rectification of the countryside between Heluo, especially the search and suppression of the private songs of the villagers and the armed bandits, has been fruitful in the past few years, and this scale of hundreds of people and horses on the road must be the dispatch of troops with the background of the king's division.

It is true that this group of people is from Xiangyang Liangzhou Assassin Shi Huanxuan and his personal guards.

This time in the attack on Guanzhong, Huan Xuan's Han Xun army was also in the list, and the order had been issued in mid-July, and in the past two months, the Xiangyang soldiers had nearly 10,000 times to temporarily stationed in Nanyang. Now that the war is imminent, Huan Xuan received another summons from the General's Mansion, ordering him to enter Luo Chen and listen to the opportunity.

After receiving the military order, Huan Xuan naturally did not dare to slack off, and even led several important generals from Nanyang Wancheng to Luo.

"Envoy, Yique is already in sight, why don't you take a break and maintain your horsepower?"

The team marched to a leeward hill, and the attendant asked about the horses.

Huan Xuan saw that it was still early, and tacitly calculated the distance and felt that it should be enough to reach Yique before nightfall, so he nodded and acquiesced. So the group looked for an open horse from a nearby place, and the sergeant set up a stove and collected dry wood for cooking. Huan Xuan sat side by side with several generals and had a little discussion.

Huan Xuan was one of the hundred and six Peng of the Yuan Emperor in his early years, and later was sent north to recruit the homeless people in the countryside in southern Henan, and once participated in the Northern Expedition of Zu Li. After the death of Zu Ti, the ancestral covenant could not tolerate people, Huan Xuan had to lead the troops to retreat to Lujiang, and when Su Jun and Zu Yue made a rebellion, their people were under the command of Tao Kan, and after the turmoil was pacified, he led his troops to the west to garrison between the Han Dynasty.

The real deeds that made Dehuan Xuan's name move Jiang Zuo was that in the early years when he was under Tao Kan's subordinates, he led his troops to capture Xiangyang and has remained in office until now. Now Huan Xuan is already over sixty years old, and he can be called a half-life of Rong Ma, and he is now one of the few border generals.

After years of hard work, Huan Xuan has long lost the elegance and modesty of his youth, and at this time, he rested halfway, and sat on the ground like a general, full of military heroes.

"Now that the war is imminent, all parties should repair their armaments and be ready to advance, and I don't know what secret business that General Shen has, and he must summon an order to travel thousands of miles to listen to ......the commands."

Sitting on the frosty and cold ground, one of the generals rubbed his frozen hands, and there was a hidden complaint in his words.

"Many people praise the general of Xingtai for his ability to govern the world, and he will rectify Heluo as new in just a few years, but I have traveled all the way, and what I have seen is also cold and famine, and it is not even as good as the grain goods between Xiangfan, and the people are happy."

Someone next to him also spoke, and his demeanor was quite disapproving of the virtuous voice of General Shen who praised the Northern and Southern Worlds.

Huan Xuanrong has been in trouble for many years, and the city government has long been cultivated, and when he heard these complaints, he was not in a hurry to express his position.

Xiangyang was originally under the control of Jingzhou, and there was little collusion with Huainan and Yuzhou. If there is any connection, it is that in the early years, there were many transactions with the Huainan Governor's Mansion in goods, assets and weapons.

However, with the establishment of Xingtai, Xiangyang was transferred to the jurisdiction of Luoyang Xingtai. The original business partners became direct direct bosses, and General Shen had always been strong, so the rapport of the past gradually disappeared, and most importantly, the sale and purchase of ordnance began to be greatly controlled.

Originally, all the wealthy sects could freely buy and sell weapons to arm their own private songs, but now that they are guarded by the Xingtai, the transportation of ordnance has also been transferred to the direct rationing of the Xingtai to the Assassin's Mansion, which directly restricts the development of these Xiangqu armed forces. And their early trading records in the Governor's Mansion also exposed their private backgrounds, and they were inevitably worried that they would be investigated by the authorities.

This kind of mentality is implemented in words and deeds, which is the resistance to all aspects of the various orders of the station. It's like what these people complained about recruiting generals in the war, which is a normal thing.

As for the so-called Heluo is inferior to Xiangfan, although Huan Xuan is also quite satisfied with his governance among Xiangfan, he must also admit that Heluo's appearance is far from being comparable to Xiangfan. They are still on the periphery of Heluo at the moment, but they have been distributed from Nanyang upwards, and there is no shortage of cultivation and weaving strongholds, especially in the countryside, where there is no strong beam bandits running rampant, which is far from being comparable to Xiangfan.

Although Huan Xuan has governed Xiangyang for a long time and has great prestige, the complicated situation in Xiangyang is indeed a headache. This can be seen from the respective backgrounds of several generals he led this time, including the local heroes of Xiangfan, the leaders of the Yongqin Liuren, and the chieftains of the Manqu Shuai.

Although these people are all under the command of Huan Xuan, they also have their own subordinates, and Huan Xuan can only restrain them and not command them.

This has nothing to do with personal talent, but because Xiangyang is too unique, just in the north and south, the four sides of the collusion, once the world is turbulent, it will become a gathering of forces from all sides, mixed fish and dragons, it is really difficult to customize.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation in Xiangyang was so complicated, after the recovery of its land in the early years, Tao Kan would not have arranged for Huan Xuan, a general who was not from a direct lineage, to guard such a key point in the terrain with his own sons and nephews.

Of course, from this aspect, it can also be seen that Tao Kan is old and declining, and the collection of Xiangyang has reached a peak of his strategy, and as for the grander goal of the Northern Expedition, it is no longer in his consideration.

Huan Xuan was able to gain a foothold in Xiangyang, and he had already established the order of regional governance, which was already commendable.

Xiangyang has been on the edge of the land for a long time, and it has not been able to pass through the center for a long time, but with the rise of a strong platform between Heluo, which is not thousands of miles from the ground, it naturally has a great impact on the order of the countryside.

This time, Xingtai included the Xiangyang soldiers in the battle sequence, and in the eyes of many rural heroes, it was probably Xingtai who was thinking of consuming their troops through war, so the response was inevitably negative. If it weren't for Huan Xuan's call for personal prestige, he might not have been able to complete the assembly order in mid-September.

"The general enjoys the reuse of the community, and has long borne the reputation of the north and the south, and has made great achievements, and his talents are magnificent. You are also a brave and respected hero, when this is a great use, it is time to have the courage to do things, the small is to show the name, the big is the benefit of the community, really should not be slack and lazy! With this bow and knife, we will make full use of our talents, and seek to divide the land and divide the city, and the honor of the prince! ”

In the face of the passivity of the generals, Huan Xuan can only do such an encouragement.

"The fierceness of the three armies is not as good as the ability to read sentences in a cursory, so that what you say is a good hope, but how much truth it can be, we really don't dare to think about it."

The soldiers of Xiangyang are quite centrifugal and do not get close to Xingtai, but also because of one point, that is, the reward of Xingtai is too stingy. In previous years, whenever there was a military movement or a change in time, they could also share the profits by virtue of their respective forces.

However, after the establishment of Xingtai this time, there are not many people who have really been rewarded and promoted, although Huan Xuan was promoted to the assassin of Liangzhou, but he was not awarded the Kaifu, and all the generals under his command attacked the old rule, which made them a little unacceptable, and felt that they were not valued.

They may not all have the luxury of hoping to win the state and county positions, even if they get the first or second officials, it is just a false courtesy, and even such a false courtesy is so stingy, which is even more unacceptable.

Previously, the Xingtai also frequently recruited talents from the countryside, but most of them took the righteous people to fill the Xingtai. For their group of generals who really protect the peace of the countryside, they can be called very neglectful and neglected.

All the generals have such a mentality, and Huan Xuan is also helpless. In the past, these powerful and powerful people could still seek a synergy under his command, but now in the eyes of these generals, he is probably an image of selling power and township assets in order to gain his own popularity, but his reputation has declined.

Therefore, Huan Xuan's current situation is also embarrassing, and the villagers complain that he can't fight for the villagers in order to advance together, and Xingtai is probably dissatisfied with his inability to be strict in government.

In the final analysis, these townsmen still think very highly of themselves and are shallow-sighted, thinking that the general trend of the world is still the same as before, and they can still be respected and hegemonized by the four sides. didn't realize that General Shen was in power, how could he allow the old state to exist for a long time!

If they want to serve the stage and be reused, it is also very simple, learn from the military leaders in Xuzhou to give up the control of their own private songs, walk into the stage lightly, and make progress by describing their merits. But if you still want to control the place with one hand and invite the MG with the other, that kind of good thing will not happen again.

This time, Huan Xuan selected a few of the most stubborn people in the army to follow, so that they could see how powerful they were now, and let them stop hiding in the countryside and thinking about arrogance. At present, the downward stage is still dominated by fetters between Han and Han, but once the patience is exhausted, it still has little effect, and they will inevitably suffer in the end!

Of course, Huan Xuan can also follow these people, and even rely on the resentment of these villagers against Xingtai and defend himself.

But this is also a stupid choice in Huan Xuan's view, now he is no longer in his prime, his ambition is declining, if he really has a bad relationship with Xingtai, although it may be the main for a while, but these villagers are not monolithic, if it really develops to the point where the soldiers meet each other and the army presses the border, after seeing the defeat, the greatest chance is that these villagers sold him in order to gain the understanding of Xingtai.

Once that situation happens, Huan Xuan's reputation for half of his life will be ruined, not to mention, wanting to protect the well-being of the people in Xiangyang has become a dream. Therefore, he knows very well that the best way is to use the most stable means to complete Xingtai's complete control of Xiangyang.

The topography of Xiangyang is too important, and it is impossible for Xingtai to allow the place to be self-sustaining for a long time. Moreover, the surrounding realm extends in all directions, and the countryside is fragmented, and it is definitely not a place that can be closed for a long time.

From this point of view, the villagers' complaints about Huan Xuan are not wronged, in fact, he is inclined to stand on the side of Xingtai, dismantle the power of the township tyrants on the border of Xiangyang, and completely bring it into the control of Xingtai. In this way, it may be necessary to sacrifice some of the township tyrants, but it is a good thing for the people of this realm, and it is also a good thing for him to be always. (https:)
