You Zhengyang was startled. He originally planned to use this to blackmail Zhao Xun so that he could release his subordinates. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xun had already eliminated his soldiers and headed north. More importantly, he still didn't know what Xiaoguo Army was doing.
How many soldiers came to the Haizhou Prefecture for the first time.
"By the way, except for the three counties in the south of Haizhou Prefecture, the remaining ten counties have been taken over by my people. Two thousand troops have been stationed in each county. They will reorganize each county. Does the Governor have any objections?"
Zhao Xun said again.
These words not only shocked everyone in the lobby, but also made You Zhengyang uneasy. After all, there are more than 30,000 Xiaoguo Army in Haizhou Prefecture, and Haizhou Prefecture will also be merged into the Xiaoguo Army. Thirty thousand
The Xiaoguo Army cannot be resisted by a navy with only 12,000 soldiers. What worries You Zhengyang even more is that Zhi Zheng
If he takes control of Haizhou Prefecture, his navy will have no source of money, unless it robs passing merchant ships. But is it easy to do it at that time? If they do that, they may not even have a place to supply supplies, and the Qingzhou navy will also
They were taken down to save Zhao Xun's face. Even if these were not discussed, the navy soldiers would not agree.
You Zhengyang's eyes shrank with a touch of fear. He suddenly realized that he was not worth mentioning in front of Zhao Xun.
"I will obey your orders in everything!" Regarding this, Cheng Yuan had already smiled bitterly.
"Let's have a banquet. Everyone is here. We can't just sit there." Zhao Xun said with a smile. But everyone was frightened and no longer dared to underestimate this young patrol envoy who was only twenty years old.
When the inspection envoy arrived, he was naturally treated to good wine and delicious food, but except for Zhao Xun and Zhang Yuanjing, everyone else, including Xue Qinglan and Qin Daolin, were all indifferent.
"Report...to inform your lord, a messenger has arrived in Yanzhou City, requesting an interview with your lord."
"Well... let them in!" Zhao Xun's heart moved, thinking that it was to quell the chaos.
"I've seen you, sir!" Three well-travelled messengers rushed in. The first one was Xu Le, the personal guard battalion captain whom he had left behind in Yanzhou City. When Zhao Xun saw the person, he couldn't help but be startled, because he saw
Standing on the back and left is Li Xinyan.
"Tell me what's going on."
"Reporting to your lord, the imperial court has issued an edict for our army to go south to quell... the rebellion of Governor Li Huaiyuan of Youzhou!" Perhaps he was concerned about Li Xinyan behind him, Xu Le paused for a moment and said stiffly.
"Xu Le, go back and tell Situ Liang to inform the entire army to go south as planned. There is no need to attack quickly, but you need to capture and consolidate one city. Let some of the government troops in each county be converted into county troops, and the rest will wait.
Reorganize.”
"Follow the order!"
"By the way, have the Khitans harassed Bingzhou and killed my people?" Zhao Xun asked calmly.
"My lord, the three Khitan tribes are all wandering outside Bingzhou. They have not invaded Bingzhou and have not killed my people. However, it seems that they have plundered several Turkic tribes and have disputes with the Turks."
"Give them an order to withdraw. As for the Turks, the Xiaoguo Army will provide them with support if necessary. The general is short of war horses, so it's not a bad idea to go to the Turks."
As soon as Zhao Xun said these words, everyone in the lobby felt like thunder exploded in their minds. It turned out that this was all planned by the Xiaoguo Army. Although many people had speculated that it was related to Zhao Xun before, they did not expect it.
Zhao Xun was actually able to call
Order the Khitans. What? You said that Zhao Xun colluded with the Khitans. Where is the evidence? The Khitans did not conquer Bingzhou or plunder. Although the Khitans were not powerful, Zhao Xun was able to order them to work for him. This shows that the Xiaoguo Army
Strong.
You Zhengyang felt as if he had been slapped with a slap in the face. He discovered that the Xiaoguo Army, which he had always disdained, was far more powerful than what the outside world had said. The worry in his eyes was even worse. He even regretted that he had gone against Zhao Xun. In fact, he had taken refuge with Zhao Xun.
After Zhao asked, it was not a bad idea.
Fang De, on the other hand, was filled with excitement. The stronger Zhao Xun was, the more correct his view was. It was not impossible to regain the three eastern prefectures and avenge his family in the future.
Lai Jian felt more and more in his heart that it was wiser to follow Zhao Xun than to love You Zhengyang more. If nothing else, even these dozen captains had expressions of admiration, disbelief and joy on their faces.
Seeing the reactions of the naval commanders, Zhao Xun knew that his words had an effect.
"Zhao Xun! You...you don't keep your word!" At this moment, a scolding voice sounded in the silent lobby. Everyone was stunned, who was so bold and dared to confront Zhao Xun.
It turned out to be a smaller man among the three messengers. At this moment, he stood up, pointed at Zhao Xun and yelled: "Zhao Xun, you told me yourself that you would not attack my father, but now? You
...You are not trustworthy."
"Xinyan, stop messing around!" At this time, Xue Qinglan on the side shouted worriedly. Only then did everyone realize that the messenger was a woman. Coupled with what he said, everyone also understood that this was Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou.
daughter. Thinking of the tone of his conversation with Zhao Xun, many people looked at Zhao Xun with ambiguous expressions.
"Uncle Xue, Uncle Qin, you have also taken refuge with him and want to attack my father?" Li Xinyan said with a crying voice.
Xue Qinglan and Qin Daolin looked embarrassed, but could not speak. Xue Qinglan sighed and said: "Xinyan, we will talk about this later. You go back to Daocheng South Camp first, and we can talk about it after Uncle Xue returns, okay?"
Xue Qing
Lan was really worried that Zhao Xun would get angry. Just now, Zhao Xun remained calm and killed five people in a row. He also made the naval general so disgraced that he could not speak. This was in public. If Zhao Xun's face was ruined, it would be terrible.
…
"I don't, I... He didn't keep his word. He did..." Li Xinyan, with tears in her eyes, pointed at Zhao Xun and scolded her. She had originally heard the imperial edict asking Zhao Xun to quell the rebellion, but she didn't believe it.
Zhao Xun will send troops, but she
However, her brother Li Muyuan told him that the Xiaoguo Army had been preparing to go south for a long time. So this time she followed the messenger in person and wanted to ask Zhao for a clear explanation. As a result, Zhao Xun's words shattered her extravagant hopes. The Xiaoguo Army had really been prepared for a long time.
Be prepared.
At first, Zhao Xun personally told him that her father would be fine. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Zhao Xun would send the Xiaoguo Army south to attack her father. She also knew very well who her father was now. He was being attacked.
It was inevitable. She could accept that her father was conquered by the imperial army, but she could not accept that Zhao Xun was also involved. She did not want to be with Zhao Xun.
As an enemy. Originally, she hoped that when her father was in trouble, she could get help from Zhao Xun and save her parents. After all, Zhao Xun accepted her relatives and did not follow the imperial court's order to capture her second brother and those who were imprisoned.
The imperial court designated him as a relative of the rebel. But she didn't expect that the person who wanted to attack him was actually Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun sent his troops south without hesitation.
