Chapter 6: Choices (3)

"The Youzhou army has been in war for a long time, and the soldiers and horses are 'fine' and strong, if they can be successfully integrated, it will greatly enhance the combat power of our army. However, although our army has a great victory, after all, the rise is still short, and the prestige in Youzhou is far from being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; Therefore, after Wang Pengzu's unexpected death, there were many arrogant and ignorant people in the Xianbei tribes and the local clans of Youzhou, intending to carve up the soldiers and horses of Youzhou before us and enhance their own strength. Chen Pei bowed to Lu Yao: "Chen is ashamed, since he started to rectify the troops, the number of non-commissioned officers of the Youzhou Army has remained high, and the officers have either turned a blind eye to it or deliberately connived; Once our army strictly supervises it, there will be people with ill intentions who fan the flames and instigate riots. This month alone, there have been 17 clashes between the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of Youzhou and the officers and men of our army, and four of them have forced our army to use more than 100 formed forces to suppress them, resulting in hundreds of casualties. ”

Lu Yao coughed lightly: "Qingnian, according to your estimates, among the 20,000 people in the Youzhou Army, how many of us can currently eliminate interference and smoothly reorganize?" ”

Chen Pei looked at Duan Wenyang and Mai Zeming, who looked slightly embarrassed in the queue of military generals: "In the past two months, three thousand people have been reorganized one after another. But if there is no means to contain this, I expect ...... The reorganization of another 1,000 people is the limit, and then it will inevitably cause a strong confrontation from the other generation. ”

When Chen Pei said this, he suddenly made everyone in the hall exclaim softly, and the air flow caused by it seemed that the window lattice was not closed tightly, allowing the cold wind to pour in.

At this moment, none of the officials present have military experience, and everyone knows how serious the situation Chen Pei is talking about. The total number of Youzhou troops is as high as more than 20,000, which is an important supplement to the Youzhou military government. If we have not been able to achieve effective management so far, then what can we talk about reorganization, absorption, and enrichment of ourselves? Before Dai Jun entered Youzhou, he knew that the local clan was deeply powerful and intertwined. But if the influence of the Youzhou clan on the army is so huge, how difficult is it to subdue those more than 10,000 soldiers who are difficult to restrain it? And how terrible and vital will their power beneath the surface of the water be?

Even more flexible, he immediately thought that the situation in this regard was so bad, why had Chen Pei never reported it before? Wouldn't it be too slow to deal with the situation now that it is impossible to 'hand it over'? If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew that Chen Pei, the one-eyed general, had always been capable, and he was by no means incompetent, I was afraid that someone would immediately rise up and accuse him.

Chen Pei was in the eyes of dozens of people, but he didn't even blink his eyes, and only continued: "Disrupting the hearts of the Youzhou army is a secret hand, and in the brighter place, the other generation also has measures. Within two months that Chen presided over the reorganization of the Youzhou army, the Youzhou clan successively sent envoys to give me generous gifts of money and goods, and their intention was nothing more than to say......" He sneered mockingly: "A certain army of soldiers and horses is a family unit temporarily levied by Wang Pengzu, and we cannot mobilize it, so we want to raise our noble hand and return it." ”

Recently, the Daijun warriors have been busy dividing troops to control the key passes in Youzhou, and they have not paid attention to the reorganization of the Youzhou Army, but they have long regarded the Youzhou Army as the 'fat' and 'meat' on their lips, and they have long been waiting to be divided and cut. Who knew that hearing about this difficult matter today made many people a little unhappy. And the Youzhou clan dared to openly seek to rob them of their foundation, and even stepped on the bottom line of tolerance.

I don't know who got up, and suddenly someone roared: "Presumptuous! Dog guts! Daydreaming! ”

Some particularly active generals even got up and shouted excitedly: "Who doesn't know life and death dares to be so arrogant?" As long as the lord gives an order, I will immediately take his dog's head and sacrifice it to the steps! ”

"Exactly!" Most of the generals and colonels of the Daijun Army are from the bottom, and many of them are either homeless or thieves before joining the army, so they are naturally estranged from the family. As soon as someone shouted, their emotions were instantly stirred up, and they shouted noisily: "Can they be free to handle me as a substitute for the county army?" It's time to clean up! ”

Someone raised his arms and shouted: "General Chen, we have to cut off a few heads!" Show your majesty! ”

"That's it, if you dare to go against our Daijun army, you are killing yourself, hahaha!"

In the blink of an eye, in addition to Xue Tong, Liu Yao, Guo Huan and other generals who were serious court officers, a number of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals were 'excited' and angry. Such a 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' scene is completely devoid of discipline and has not faded in recklessness.

In contrast, the civilian officials of the military government on the opposite side were obviously much calmer. Zao Song's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his joy or anger. Officials such as Huang Yi obviously have never experienced such an occasion, and their expressions are a little confused. Xiong Cong's 'desire' stopped talking. Fang Mianzhi turned sideways and whispered something to Fang Qinzhi, who suddenly rolled his eyes a few times. And although Shao Xu, the head of all civil officials, had no change in his face, there was a faint disdain in his eyes.

The atmosphere between the civil and military compartments is very different, and for some reason it reveals a strangeness.

Ma Rui, who was standing on Lu Yao's side, maintained a 'straight' posture from beginning to end, but often lowered his eyes to look at Lu Yao's look. At this time, seeing that Lu Yao's originally suitable face suddenly froze, and he frowned slightly, Ma Rui took a step forward with the handle of the knife in his hand, and shouted: "Silence!" ”

The hall was immediately silent.

Shen Jin was excitedly preparing to speak in a row, when he heard Ma Rui's order, he hurriedly tightened his stomach and exerted his strength, and sat back in place with a "bang"; He looked at both sides in disdain, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to retract his half-stretched 'legs'. Several particularly 'excited' generals had already stood in the hall, and at this time they found that Lu Yao's face was sinking like water, and he also fled back to his original place with a 'urine'.

"What do you want to do? Rebellion? Lu Yao sneered.

The generals who were making a fuss at the right time instantly had a very low momentum, and responded in unison: "Don't dare." ”

Lu Yao is never a dignified person, when he patrols the army, he can talk and laugh with ordinary soldiers without any fight; But as his status grew, he became more and more majestic in the eyes of these generals. After everyone bowed down, no one dared to get up for a while without Lu Yao's permission.

The hall fell silent instantly, only Lu Yao pressed his left knuckle with his right hand, making a slight gurgling sound.

Half an hour passed, and Lu Yao was speechless. So more than a dozen generals maintained a bent posture, which was a little embarrassing.

Shen Jin glanced at Xue Tong a few times, but Xue Tong didn't seem to notice it at all, and sat upright by himself. He was familiar with Lu Yao, and knew that Lu Yao often had subconscious small movements of pressing his knuckles when he was thinking about something important in his heart, and he shouldn't have interrupted at this time. What's more, in the opinion of Xue Tong, who was born in the 'gate', many of the generals of the Daijun Army were suddenly promoted from the bottom in a few months, although there is no problem in being brave and good at fighting, but many times it is really ugly, and they should be beaten a little.

Lu Yao didn't notice the embarrassment of the generals under his command at all, Xue Tong guessed well, he really fell into deep thought.

Chen Pei's incorporation of the Youzhou Army was not smooth, which was expected by Lu Yao. In fact, the entire process of those wealthy families jumping up and down was also tightly controlled by Zhu Sheng. Lu Yao knew very well that Daidi and Duan Bu Xianbei joined hands to solve the matter of Wang Pengzu, which would be a secret that would not see the light of day for a long time. Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Youzhou, the Daijun Army only won a victory by chance in the Battle of Weiyuan, and did not completely suppress Youzhou, and Lu Yao was too lucky to be appointed as the governor of Youzhou. The nameless General Eagle Yang suddenly swallowed Youzhou with a weaker generation of counties, and it is natural that many wealthy families have not returned to their hearts.

Due to the life experience and educational background of his previous life, Lu Yao has never had a good impression of the so-called wealthy family, so he doesn't mind this situation. He was planning to take the opportunity of incorporating the Youzhou Army to force some people with ill intentions to take the initiative to jump out of the foreground. In the past, after Yue Shigong entered Jinyang, he ordered Lu Yao to exterminate the Guo clan in Qi County to deter the dock forts in various places. Lu Yao also intended to repeat the old trick, and chose the opportunity to dispatch the army of Daijun to eliminate the hostile Haoqiang in one fell swoop with the power of thunder, so as to kill the 'chicken' and set an example for the monkey.

However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that his original idea was inevitably simple. When Yue Shigong entered Jinyang, his troops were exhausted and there was no food, and unless he attacked Haoqiang, the regime could not be maintained at all; And Yue Shigong himself is the in-law of the Wen family in Qi County, and there are Taiyuan Wang and other high 'gates' in the shogunate, so after the tough measures, there is also a 100% certainty that the Huairou means will be used to subdue the powerful and powerful...... The situation in these two aspects is very different from the current situation in Youzhou.

Just looking at the posture of the wingmen led by Shao Xu, Lu Yao could conclude that once he discussed the opinions of the warriors, it would definitely arouse the all-out opposition of the wingmen. The reason is very simple, unlike the soldiers from humble backgrounds, these civilian officials are also members of the township crown clan and feel the same way; The Youzhou clan is weak and bullied, and they will also die and be sad. They have families, in-laws, and a circle of discussion, and they are divided into upper and lower relatives or internally, but they are naturally one externally, and they will never support themselves to raise a butcher's knife against the Youzhou clan unless they have to.

Among them, I am afraid that only Huang Yi and others, who were born in a family of officials, will not make a clear statement, but their influence and status are still low after all.

This situation made Lu Yao feel vigilant. He thought about it, what if he excluded the interference of the civilian bureaucrats and really used force to suppress the wealthy clans? The result? Lu Yao is a soldier, and he has absolute confidence in the army he has cultivated. No matter how many men and horses the wealthy clan can entangle, they will never be the opponent of the Daijun army. The question is, even if the head of the body is cut off, will the rest of the families be willing to attach themselves to the governor of Youzhou?

You must know that there is also a Youzhou thorn in Jicheng. That ancestor is childish, but he once smelled the 'chicken' dancing with Yue Shigong, and has the ambition to clear the people in the universe, no matter how much he overestimates his talent. If the Youzhou clan is completely thrown into the arms of the ancestors because of his own actions, the trouble will only be greater...... Don't say anything else, just say that in front of you, without the support of the powerful clan in Youzhou, Lu Yao is even struggling to integrate the rest of the Youzhou army!

The times are like this, and no one can do anything about it. Lu Yao thinks he is an idealist, but he will not deliberately detach himself from reality. He was able to build a large army without relying on the powerful clan, and maintain a certain level of grassroots power with a purely militarized management style, but in the end, he had to take into account the reality that Hu Er was eyeing him, and considering that the time left for him to expand his power was becoming more and more urgent. For this reason, he had to compromise with the mainstream of this era, with the high-ranking 'family' who monopolized all aspects of politics, economy, military, culture, etc., and even compromise alone was not enough, and sometimes he needed to adapt, use and integrate!

As for the others, those ideas and changes that still remained in Lu Yao's mind...... Don't worry, or you can figure it out slowly.

Lu Yao finally spoke. He glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please remember that we are officers and soldiers, not thieves. If you dare to talk nonsense and fight and kill at every turn, you will be severely punished. ”...
