Zhao Junsheng suddenly realized: "So that's the case. No wonder Du Chao dared to do this. Xuzhou is on the border of the Southern Dynasty. As long as the court reveals its intention to attack him, he will definitely rebel and join the Southern Dynasty!"

Pei Jin asked: "General, do you want to let the emperor know about this?"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, then raised his hand and shook his head: "No...it's useless in this matter, it's destined to be suppressed by the emperor!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junsheng said to Dongfang Chen: "How about a trip to Zhuo County, sir?"

Dongfang Chen agreed: "It's just a little effort!"

Cao Jiao stood up again and reported to Zhao Junsheng: "General, according to the investigation of the subordinates, the three counties and ten counties of Youzhou, except for the counties below which have county soldiers led by county captains, none of the three major counties have county soldiers. The security department in charge of the county soldiers was replaced by the soldiers under the leadership of the three prefects! Among them, the positions of Captain Yan and Yuyang were vacant, and Li Yuande and Feng Da actually controlled the security of Yan County and Yuyang County. criminal!"

"In addition, the [-] Youzhou Army under the direct control of the Governor's Mansion is actually in a state of disorganization, with lax military discipline.

He only arrived earlier than us, and he has not fully controlled the [-] Youzhou Army yet! "

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng sent Li Bao and more than 20 bodyguard cavalry to escort Dongfang Chen to Zhuo County to meet Mao Xiuzhi.

Not long after Dongfang Chen left, Zhao Junsheng brought Cao Jiao and some soldiers to the Youzhou army garrison.

The three thousand Youzhou military camp is just outside the city. These 3000 people are all cavalry, and their composition is relatively complicated. Why do you say its composition is complicated?Because one-third of the three thousand Youzhou troops were from Xianbei, one-third were from Dingling, and one-third were from Gaoche.

In the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, all soldiers, generals and schools in the same formation were basically members of the same clan, and the commanding generals or officers were also members of the same clan. Basically, people from other clans would not be mixed in, because of the language barrier, the inability to communicate, and the living customs. Different, forcibly mixed together can easily break out conflicts.

For example, in Wuchuan Town, from the town general to the soldiers, everyone is Han. This is only possible when the emperor specially issued an imperial edict, because according to the regulations of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Han people can only farm and pay taxes. In other cases, at most To do the work of auxiliary soldiers, the Xianbei people will not let the Han people be the main combat arms.

It is precisely because of the complex composition of the 3000 troops of the Youzhou Army that it is in a state of chaos. In the absence of a commanding general, military discipline has become loose. The Xianbei, Dingling, and Gaoche people in the army dislike each other and often fight brawl.

"The last general of the Youzhou Army Sima Wei Chi Yandong pays his respects to the envoy!" At the gate of the Youzhou military camp Wei Chi Yandong saw Zhao Junsheng clasping his fists in salute.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "General Yuchi, you don't need to be polite, I'm here today to inspect the Youzhou army garrison, so I won't cause you any trouble, right?"

Chapter 447

"Your envoy is just joking. It is a normal official duty for your envoy to inspect the Youzhou army garrison. How can you cause trouble for the general? Please enter the camp!" Yuchi Yandong said while bowing and reaching out to the camp.

Zhao Junsheng nodded, Da Ma walked into the camp, Cao Jiao and his personal guards followed behind Da Ma.

After entering the camp, Zhao Junsheng found that there were only a few people practicing on the school field, and all of them were weak, and many of them just stood in the middle of the team and did not work hard.

Zhao Junsheng rode a horse around the camp, walked towards the barracks lobby, and said: "As far as I know, the Youzhou Army has more than 2000 troops, and now there are only more than [-] on the school grounds. Where have nearly [-] people gone? Look at these soldiers who are training, didn’t they have breakfast in the morning? Didn’t the governor’s office allocate food and grass for you?”

Yuchi Yandong was embarrassed and ashamed, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Please calm down the envoy, the last general came only a few days earlier than the envoy, and has not yet established prestige in the army. Don't be afraid that the envoy will make fun of you. There are more than a thousand people, the last general can only barely make a few of them obey the military order, and the remaining one thousand Xianbei army and one thousand Gaoche army are deliberately fighting against the last general. Sick leave, it hurts here or there, and the final general is worried that the method will be too tough and cause a greater backlash. If there is a rebellion and mutiny, it will not end well, so he decided to take it slowly."

Zhao Junsheng secretly disapproved of Yuchi Yandong's approach. The army is not a market for bargaining. As a military officer, if he can't make all the soldiers bow their heads for the first time, the next day will definitely be very sad. The tamed and arrogant soldiers are making progress step by step.

When everyone came to the barracks lobby, Zhao Junsheng sat on the main seat and said to Yuchi Yandong: "General Yuchi, this general heard that you were one of the four generals who guarded the capital wài wéi before, and you also brought him Soldiers, how did you bring the Youzhou Army into this?"

Yuchi Yandong felt bitter and couldn't express it, "The last general is ashamed, I ask the general to come down!"

"From today onwards, this general will personally lead the Youzhou Army. As the commander of the army, you will be mainly responsible for the drills of the generals. As for military discipline and other affairs, I will arrange someone else to do it!"

Yuchi Yandong didn't care about Zhao Junsheng depriving him of some of his powers as army commander at this time, and promised: "The last general obeys orders!"

"Where is Bai Jinguang?"

Bai Jinguang immediately stood up and clasped his fists: "This subordinate is here!"

"Appoint you as a law enforcement officer, responsible for cleaning up military discipline, severely punishing lawbreakers, and assisting General Yuchi in leading the Youzhou Army!" Zhao Junsheng issued a special order.

In fact, there is no official position of law enforcement officer. Although Zhao Junsheng, the governor of Youzhou, is in charge of the military and political power of Youzhou, he does not have the power to establish a government. But the general of Bianzhen has the power to appoint his own officials. It's not surprising that he has a temporary official position, as long as he can assist himself in taking over the military and political power.

Bai Jinguang stood up and clasped his fists in agreement: "Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Yuchi Yandong, and asked: "General Yuchi, you also led soldiers. This general doesn't understand why you can't do anything with those Xianbei soldiers and Gaoche soldiers? Tell me, what is this?" what's going on?"

Yuchi Yandong hesitated for a while, and finally clasped his fists and said: "The two thousand Xianbei soldiers and Gaoche soldiers are under the control of Lieutenant General Xi Ba, and the last general can't command them! Xi Ba has always been domineering and arrogant, and behind him is the Xinxing King! "

Xi Ba is the third son of Xi Jin, who was courageous and violent when he was young.In October last year, Hu Xia's ruler Helian Ding was captured by Tuyuhun's army when he attacked Beiliang.

Although these people were demoted and appointed, they were veterans of the three dynasties after all. They had extensive contacts in the imperial court and various Xianbei tribes. Emperor Tuobajian also valued them very much.

Besides, the emerging king Tuoba Jun, he was the last son of Tuoba Si who was canonized as king before his death. He was good at riding and shooting at a very young age. Tuoba Jian's relationship has been good since he was a child, now that Tuoba Jian has become the emperor, he is also favored, and his official position is promoted again and again.

Only then did Zhao Junsheng understand why Yuchi Yandong was so timid. Yuchi Yandong didn't have much backing in the court, and he still didn't understand the emperor's intention of sending him here as a military commander.

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, and ordered to Yuchi Yandong: "General Yuchi, go and choose 200 soldiers from the generals you can control to command Bai Jinguang!"

"Yes!"

Not long after Yuchi Yandong went out, he brought 200 people to the outside of the lobby, and publicly announced that Bai Jinguang would command them from now on, and they must obey Bai Jinguang's orders.

Bai Jinguang directly drilled the 200 people outside the lobby, asking them to carry out his orders to the letter.

"Come on, get Xi Ba to meet me!" Zhao Junsheng issued a second order.

Lieutenant General Xi Ba came late, this guy had a beard full of steel needles, and the smell of alcohol could be smelled from a long distance away.

Xi Ba walked into the hall and saw Zhao Junsheng sitting on the main seat wearing armor and a helmet. He looked down on Zhao Junsheng and laughed and said, "Hey, the new governor has arrived? The last general Xi Ba is polite, and I have seen the envoy!" "

Zhao Junsheng said with a stern face: "Xi Ba, I heard that you are arrogant and domineering, do many crimes, form cliques in the army for personal gain, and withhold military pay. This general did not believe it, but now you still despise the superior. It seems that these The rumors are all true! If you are someone else’s subordinate, this general can’t take care of you. Since you are a subordinate of this official, this official will not allow people like you to act recklessly in the army! Someone, drag him out and behead him to punish him. military law!"

Xi Ba's complexion changed when he heard this, and he said with a ferocious face: "Well, you Zhao Junsheng, do you want to use Lao Tzu's head to show off when you first arrive? Don't you see who Lao Tzu Xi Ba is? You can do it whenever you want. Listen, brothers outside the tent, whoever dares to touch me, I will rush in and kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard loud echoes from outside: "Yes, General!"

With a sound of "touch", Zhao Junsheng jumped up against the case and was furious: "How dare you resist military law punishment! Bai Jinguang, I will kill all of you, leaving no one behind!"

A lot of footsteps came from outside the tent, Bai Jinguang led two hundred soldiers and surrounded dozens of personal guards brought by Xi Ba.

"Kill—" Bai Jinguang yelled.

"Ha——" The two hundred soldiers shouted in unison, and they stabbed their spears together, and the Xiba's personal guards who were surrounded in the middle were pierced with blood holes one by one.

"Ah—" There were screams and the sound of weapons clashing non-stop into the lobby.

Xi Ba's face turned pale when he heard this, and several soldiers with big arms and round waists rushed up and pushed him down to the ground and tied him up. Kill Lao Tzu? Do you know who Lao Tzu is?"

Zhao Junsheng said with a cold face: "Don't you just want to say that you are the son of Xi Jin, that the Daxi family is standing behind you, and that there is King Xinxing backing you up? To tell you the truth, you form cliques in the army for personal gain, violate military laws, and despise Shangguan, no matter whose son you are, no matter who backs you up, this general will kill you to punish you! Come here, drag him out, and cut him off!"

Xi Ba, who kept struggling and roaring, was finally dragged out by the soldiers and forced to kneel on the open space outside the lobby. The dozen or so bodyguards who were still resisting shouted anxiously when they saw this: "General... "..."

A soldier drew out his saber, raised it, and slashed it down. The light of the saber flashed, and a bloody arrow shot to the ground. Xi Ba's head fell to the ground, and his body fell to the ground, twitching non-stop.

The guards who were still resisting just now were devastated when they saw this, and they were all stabbed to death by the soldiers commanded by Bai Jinguang. Their bodies fell to the ground, and the open space in front of the lobby was completely stained with blood.

At this moment, a large number of disorganized footsteps and the sound of weapons and armor colliding came. Bai Jinguang and the soldiers turned their heads and saw a large number of soldiers running from all directions in the camp. ran over.

"They want to kill General Xi, come with me!"
