Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the scarlet blood stains on the snow, the viewing group of more than 100 people cautiously followed Zhao Xun into Changguang County.

Fortunately, Zhao Xun personally ordered it, and there were soldiers from the personal guard battalion who served as military judges, and the soldiers who kept in mind the military discipline did not do anything wrong, but even if there were a few mistakes, those were ignored.

The whole city is quiet, and every household has sealed the door tightly. Obviously, today's killing made them also frightened by the arrival of the Xiaoguo army. In addition, there are 3,000 soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who died in this city, who knows if the soldiers of Xiaoguo will do anything. You know, the army broke the city and slaughtered, that is perfectly normal.

In this regard, Zhao Xun didn't say much, this is also a normal reaction, and then he will let the new official appease the place. Besides, for such a small city, Zhao Xun really can't raise the interest to put on a show in person. The current Xiaoguo Army is no longer the time when it was struggling to survive in the past. Of course, this does not mean that this Zhao Xun can indulge his subordinates in their misdeeds.

For the families of Liang Xingrong and Zhang Lin, Zhao Xun did not harass them too much. When Zhao Xun entered the city, the fighting had stopped, and the soldiers of the fifth capital had already withdrawn from the city, and the soldiers of the sixth capital began to inspect and clean up the whole city.

"You can go back, the day after tomorrow, I hope to see someone in your family who can call the shots in Huang County. Don't forget to ask them to bring a letter of help and paperwork requesting the presence of the Devils. ”

More than 100 people breathed a sigh of relief, even claimed yes, and left the city.

"The order is that except for the first battalion of the sixth capital, the rest of the soldiers should immediately rush to Yecheng, Dangli, and Luxiangcheng, be careful and take precautions, and do not have such a situation again."

"Li Lingfeng, you go there to command in person, we don't take the initiative to attack, but if the Qingzhou Mansion army dares to attack us, you don't need to stay."

"Li Donglai, let the people of the Shadow Division investigate the situation of the surrounding provinces, especially the movement of the Wuwei Army and the Shence Army stationed in the southern part of Qingzhou, and report back immediately if there is any change."

"Obey!" The two responded in unison.

…………

Cao Bin took an army of 10,000 people and went straight to Donglai Mansion. However, he soon realized that his subordinates were not as brave as he expected.

10,000 troops, including 5,000 logistics personnel, fortunately, it is their own territory along the road, so don't worry too much. However, this is the beginning of heavy snowfall, the fourth or fifth day of the first month. In this situation where they should stay at home and accompany their families, which of the soldiers would be willing?

What's more, the weather is still so cold, and the soldiers are even more reluctant. Some of the soldiers and soldiers of the prefecture did not have enough winter clothes, resulting in frostbite, and finally stayed in the cities along the way. But in any case, the march of the government army was much slower. And Cao Bin also saw a deep complaint from the soldier's face.

This is not the most important issue, there are many others. Because the government army comes out from each prefecture and county, and is not subordinate to each other, has it been trained by the joint army on weekdays. Now if you soften them together, you will find that they are messy and not organized. Under one military order, each battalion accomplished differently. almost didn't let Cao Bin get angry!

In addition, there are many contradictions between the various armies, and a small conflict will lead to a huge armed fight. Although there were no fatalities, hundreds of people have been injured, and four or five hundred have been punished for this.

What is even stricter is that many government soldiers have extremely poor military discipline, plundering food and property in passing towns, and even worse, they rape/adulterous/women. Everywhere he went, the reputation of the Qingzhou Mansion Army was extremely ruined. In this regard, Cao Bin severely punished these soldiers, and those soldiers who raped/adulterated/women were directly beheaded for public display. This is what makes these government armies somewhat restrained

"That's it, still fighting with the Xiaoguo army? The difference between heaven and earth, the difference between cloud and mud! No wonder those guards look down on the government army, and even the governor of our government army looks down on the people under his command. In the end, Cao Bin said with a wry smile.

Along with Cao Bin, Qingzhou Xuanfu Wang Yanqing, who wanted to come to see it, replied without frowning: "Yes, I didn't expect that your government army would be so unbearable!" It is conceivable that the famous Xiaoguo Army is so strong, no wonder it was able to tear off the territory of the five prefectures in Jizhou and drive Feng Meng back to Jizhou City. ”

Hearing Wang Yanqing's words, Cao Bin's face was embarrassed for a while, on weekdays, he didn't brag about how powerful the government army under his command was. The current scene really smacked him in the mouth.

Wang Yanqing ignored Cao Bin's face, but said slowly: "Cao Bin, to tell the truth, in our situation, the Xiaoguo army only needs 5,000 people to defeat us, or even annihilate them all. This time, it is better to stand in the name of righteousness and oppress him. Unless he wants to rebel, he will not act rashly. ”

After Cao Bin heard Wang Yanqing say that 5,000 Xiaoguo troops could defeat or completely annihilate more than 10,000 people under his command, his face was not at first pale, and then he sighed helplessly,

"The Wuwei Army and the Shence Army should also react a little, their target is the Qingzhou Water Army, and now that they have fallen into the hands of the Xiaoguo Army, haven't they thought of anything new?" Cao Bin said in annoyance. Since then, he has received the news and sent a message to the two guards, but the two guards still have no movement.

Wang Yanqing sneered: "Guards? You still don't think about it. Their goal is to target the trolls, and apart from the problems of the trolls, they definitely got the news before us. The target is gone, and the Xiaoguo Army also sent a large army to appear in Donglai Mansion, you say, will the Wei Army be willing to fight against the Xiaoguo Army? Don't forget, there are Xuzhou rebels behind him. If one is not good, it will fall into the dangerous ground of being caught between the north and the south. So, this time, I can only rely on myself. ”

Seeing Cao Bin's worried expression, Wang Yanqing said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, as long as we don't directly attack Donglai Mansion, we won't have a full-scale war with the Xiaoguo Army." We have to persecute him with carelessness, so that he has a bad reputation. By the way, let the local government and military step up their preparations, and they must also be prepared for a big battle. At that time, the guards had to move if they didn't move. ”

Under the coercion of Zhao Xun, the big families in the counties and even some officials who had been demoted wrote letters of help and documents asking the Xiaoguo army to be stationed in Donglai Mansion. The patriarch of the big families in the counties was also forced to come to Huang County to meet the real owner of Donglai Mansion.

More than 100 people gathered together, and this was a very lively scene. But now, it's silent. When the Xiaoguo army came, it did not disturb the people, so that they only remembered the benevolence and righteousness of the Xiaoguo army, but forgot that the Xiaoguo army was famous for stepping on the enemy's head.

Zhao Xun sat on the main seat, glanced at the hundreds of people in the hall, and sighed with emotion in his heart. Once upon a time, I could say a word, and the heroes from all over the country bowed their heads and came to answer the order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people in Donglai Mansion who are on the table, and those who have been named by me are here, which is very good, and it also eliminates a killing." If these people don't come, it's over.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Zhao Xun continued: "Do you know what I have on this table? ”

"These are all letters sent by some of you after my Xiaoguo army entered Donglai Province and took over the counties. There are those who insult us, there are those who ask for help, and there are those who report the situation of our army to the outside world. Zhao Xun pointed to the corner of the table, the letters piled together, and said slowly.

Suddenly, among the more than 100 people, the vast majority of them had one side of face and trembling slightly.

"Pontus can not care about what you have done before, as long as you show good in the future, these things are not big things. If you give me something to do, you should think about it first, is your house more solid than Changguang County? Do you have more private soldiers and slaves in your hands than the government army and young men in Changguang County? Is your reputation better than that of Liang Xingrong, the county magistrate of Changguang County? Zhao Xun said coldly, his eyes scanning between the people like knives.

Seeing Zhao Xun say this, these people breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Zhao Xun's new policies such as Xiaoguo army land, slaves, and tenants were all accepted by these people, and they were not too difficult. Compared to their lives, this mere fertile land is nothing, not to mention, they can still do business. You must know that the businessmen in the Youzhou region are the most envied by the businessmen in the world.

The reason why Zhao Xun scared them from the beginning was to better promote this new deal, at least to make them feel that compared with saving their lives, this new deal is not so unacceptable, so as not to have something wrong when they get it.

Subsequently, Zhao Xun handed them over to the officials sent by various departments to deal with. Inventory and redistribution of land will not be completed in a moment.

But Zhao Xun believes that the people here will be ecstatic. Hum! As long as you take the land allocated by my Xiaoguo army, are you willing to hand it over again? If a foreign enemy presses the border, you won't fight hard to protect your land?

Zhao Xun originally expected that the Qingzhou Mansion Army would appear the next day, but who knew that the people from the Shadow Division had sent information that the Qingzhou Mansion Army was training the army while walking. It will take 14 or 5 days to reach the border of Dong Rai Province. Hearing such words, Zhao Xun couldn't cry or laugh. Zhao Xun knew very well about the low combat effectiveness of the government army, the long-term lack of training, empty salaries, and the problem of deducting military salaries, but he did not expect that the Qingzhou Governor would conduct reorganization training on the way to the new army. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the intention of capturing Qingzhou, Zhao Xun really led the army back back.

In addition to being busy checking the movements of the governor of Qingzhou, Zhao Xun was more important to check the two guards in the south of Qingzhou, with a total of 100,000 troops, which made Zhao Xun not dare to stimulate the Qingzhou departments too much.

Fortunately, these two guards were in charge of the rebels in Xuzhou, Nanzhen, and they had no time to make a move against the Xiaoguo army, which also made Zhao Xun secretly relieved. In fact, he also knew a little, and learned from the capture of the sailors that the purpose of these two guards was not only to conquer the Xuzhou rebels, but also to capture the Qingzhou navy.

Conquest of the Xuzhou rebels? These two guards are Murong Cheng's people, and Murong Cheng is naturally unwilling to let his subordinates fight to the death here, so they have been stationed in the south of Qingzhou and held off against the Xuzhou army.

The Xuzhou army also received the news that Zhao Xun had captured the Qingzhou naval army and sent troops to Donglai Mansion, and sent people to contact Li Lingfeng many times, hoping that it could report to Zhao Xun, and the two armies would attack together to solve the two guards in the south. After the Wei army was eliminated, Qingzhou belonged to Zhao Xun, but the exchange of merchants was not prohibited, including the trade of military materials such as war horses.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Xun still suppressed this Jian Yì that made him a little excited, and finally rejected the other party's suggestion.
