Whether it was from the beginning that Wukong planned to swallow everyone's military power, or whether it was as things developed step by step, and finally became the result that it is now, no one except Wukong himself knows...... , the real answer.

This is true of military generals, and the same is true of those civil ministers.

Using Pei's case, at least nearly half of the officials in Beisui were all implicated in this case, but all those officials who were over forty years old and had very poor work performance in ordinary times submitted a request to the imperial court to return to their hometowns on the day they were examined, and left the officialdom forever.

Of course, the Beisui government still treats these officials who have been politely dismissed very favorably, and will still give these people half of the money every month until they die.

Although this kind of half-salary system may sound very stingy, in fact, the original monthly income of these people is far more than the monthly expenses of ordinary people, so even if they receive half of the salary, the monthly life of these dismissed officials is still very chic.

If someone leaves, then, of course, someone will inevitably take the position, so those young officials who have been carefully cultivated by Mao Wenchen and others over the years have finally all come to the fore.

Therefore, although the officialdom of Beisui is turbulent every day, the lives of ordinary people in Beisui have not been affected in the slightest, and everything is changing rapidly and methodically, as if something is really going on...... , none of which happened.

Of course, Li Shimin and others are very concerned about the changes in Beisui officialdom, but even if they pay attention to it, it will be useless.

These special high-level prisoners can only rely on constantly deducing the battle situation to pass their daily boring time.

"Guo Zihe sent his second brother Guo Zisheng to Jincheng to negotiate with Dou Jiande? What does this mean, does it ...... , does he want to take Jincheng?" Thinking of this, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and continued to read the content of the negotiations.

Soon, he found an extremely abnormal requirement among the conditions proposed by Guo Zisheng.

"Send Kou Zhong to Guo Zihe's camp to discuss trade between the two countries......? Kou Zhong, a general of the shrimp country, is it talking about the trade between the two countries? Well, is it ...... No, it's too obvious to do this, it's clear that he is telling Dou Jiande that Kou Zhong is actually Dasui's person, which is tantamount to letting Dou Jiande kill Kou Zhong. Yay, Dou Jiande actually agreed? This is really ...... Kou Zhong is just a little person, he has been played by Du Xiaodan as a monkey for so long, and he doesn't even dare to kill a Kou Zhong? After scolding with extreme contempt, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, and immediately frowned and thought hard.

"Today's topic is the shrimp country's large-scale counterattack, then, Qin Qiong and Wang Junkuo will definitely fight across the mother river and make a big show with Zhang Shanan and others. However, the information sent was all the content of the Jincheng negotiations, and there was no ...... between the two. No, no! There's definitely something to do with that, if you look at it that way...... , Guo Zihe...... He's too shameless, isn't he? It's just such a hand back and forth, can't he change individual tricks? But ...... , a reasonable excuse for Guo Zihe's rebellion...... , what is it?" After thinking of this, Li Shimin fell into contemplation again.

Every day, along with the information sent, there is a very clear theme, like the theme of the previous few days, if the 400,000 soldiers and horses in the Puyang camp defect to the shrimp country, what kind of impact will it have on the war situation.

It was from that day on, Li Shimin and others really paid attention to the information sent down every day, no longer using this information as an entertainment tool to pass the time, and then, the next day's intelligence was - Qin Qiong's treason!

It is conceivable how angry Li Shimin, Song Que and others were after seeing this information.

Therefore, in order to accurately grasp the development of the situation, they all began to carefully study the information and topics on a daily basis, trying to find ...... , a turnaround opportunity that you can take advantage of.

However, the situation sent to them every day was also checked layer by layer and continuously deleted before it was finally sent to them.

Therefore, there are many questions, they still can't figure it out on the same day, and they can only wait until the next day's results come out before they can deduce yesterday's doubts, but at this time, even if they know the answer, it is obviously useless.

For example, regarding the question of Kou Zhong and the question of what excuse Guo Zihe used to rebel, Li Shimin, Song Que and others, even if they wanted to break their heads today, it would be impossible to come up with an answer.

And Dou Jiande and the others, who were far away in Jincheng, were also thinking hard about their decision to send Kou Zhong to Guo Zihe's camp...... , whether it is right or wrong.

Guo Zisheng looks very similar to Guo Zihe, but he doesn't have the slightest resemblance to Kou Zhong, and he doesn't know why his eldest brother wants to tell him to bring Kou Zhong back.

So, after a series of confrontations and concessions, Guo Zisheng finally brought the confused Kou Zhong to his eldest brother.

Kou Zhong always felt that Guo Zihe, the world-famous overlord of the Northeast, looked at himself very awkwardly, as if he was looking at his son who he hadn't seen for a long time...... , the taste of affection.

"From today onwards, you ...... , it's the young marshal of my Northeast Army, and it's also my Guo Zihe's son, remember?" Guo Zihe was extremely plain, so he said something, so that all the generals present ...... , all stupid words come out.

In fact, this decision was made by Guo Zihe himself, and it was not Wukong who asked him to do it at all.

According to Wukong's meaning, Kou Zhong will be Guo Zihe's nominal son for a few days temporarily, so that's fine, and Kou Zhong, an unreliable guy, must not be touched...... , military power!

Although Wukong didn't say this explicitly, he thought that there was no need to say it at all, Guo Zihe would naturally firmly control the military power and raise Kou Zhongyu in the army as an idler.

However, what Wukong never expected was that Guo Zihe just looked at Kou Zhong at a glance, and suddenly felt that there was such a son...... , doesn't seem to be bad?

Therefore, just because Wukong's words didn't say it, Kou Zhong, an extremely good-natured guy, turned out to be a ...... , the young marshal with real power!
