Youzhou City, an ancient capital in later history, is now a major border city with more than 50,000 troops stationed, connecting with Jizhou, Yingzhou and other northern border cities, and is the screen portal of the Central Plains.

As the Guirong Cavalry invaded the Central Plains again before the New Year, first defeated Xuanzhou and then surrounded Yingzhou, the troops had already pointed directly at the most important border city in the northern border of Vietnam, which naturally made the officials, civilians and generals in the city nervous, especially when more than half a month ago, King Ying Sun Bi arrived in Youzhou as the commander of the three armies in the northern border, he issued several military orders one after another, moved the people southward and dispatched troops from all cities in the rear to gather heavy troops to deal with foreign enemies.

By today, the garrisons in the city have reached an astonishing 80,000. If it hadn't been for sending tens of thousands of people to the south to settle the country earlier, I would have been afraid that there would be no place for troops to be stationed in the city, so the army would have to be stationed outside the city.

But even so, there are still many problems. The reinforcements from all walks of life are not subordinate to each other. When they first enter the city, they often appear to be messy and friction occurs from time to time. At the same time, because the city is not enough to supply all the troops, the local garrisons in Youzhou have even begun to surround their own granaries and prevent any foreign troops from approaching.

In response to this, the governor of Youzhou, Shen Zhongshan, was ignoring his illness, but he pushed all the problems to the newly-commanded commander of the three armies, King Ying Sun Bi.

Obviously, Shen Dashuai, who was suppressed by the commander from heaven, felt very resentful. At least he did not plan to cooperate well with Sun Bi for a short time. And these trivial things fell into the hands of the court officials who came with Sun Bi, and they had no solution and didn't know how to deal with them.

At this time, the military counselor Du Xiuxian was so sad that he came to the main hall of the General Mansion where Sun Bi was, and hesitated and did not dare to speak. At this time, Sun Bi was standing in front of a huge map of northern border, with his eyebrows frowned, as if thinking about what to do next.

"Ahem... Prince." Du Xiuxian's somewhat uneasy voice came in, interrupting his thoughts, making Sun Bi feel a little more excited, and said casually: "Come in. But is there an echo in the warehouse?"

Du Xiuxian's body shook slightly and then knelt down: "Your Majesty, the prince is incompetent. He can't even handle such a small matter well. Please punish him."

However, Sun Bi did not change his expression, and even his eyes did not move away from the map. After only a moment of silence, he said, "Get up. You can't blame you for this matter. You are so arrogant and powerful. You can't suppress it, as a civil servant in the capital."

"Prince..." Du Xiuxian felt even more ashamed and did not stand up, saying bitterly, "They really look down on Xiaguan and others, and said that the food and supplies were all obtained by their own hard work, and they must not let the old soldiers of the Central Plains go for nothing..."

"Yes, they don't like the troops we brought from the Central Plains, and they don't like me, the commander from the capital. Who told me to take away the military power of their own commander as soon as I came?" Sun Bi sighed quietly, "Tell me, what should I do about this matter?"

Of course, he was not the only one in the hall, and there were many counselors with the same status as Du Xiuxian. They were all court officials with formal powers in the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. This time, when faced with this problem, most people had no idea. The Youzhou defenders were very disgusted with them and had long been revealed from all aspects. In addition, the heavy mountain's fueling, the matter became even more difficult.

After a while, someone thought carefully: "Prince, why not go to Shen Dashen to discuss it? After all, you are the prince in the court and the commander of the three armies appointed by the court. Even if he is reluctant, he will have to give you three points of thin air, right?"

"Yes, if I lowered my identity to see him at this time and asked him to help me with the granary matter, his heavy mountain would probably agree to my request, and would also give me a good face to handle the matter without leaving any troubles." Sun Bi said, and finally turned around slowly, his eyes shining, so bright that these subordinates were panicked. "But in this way, not only the Youzhou army, but also the reinforcements from all over the Central Plains who were transferred would understand one truth, that is, although I am the commander of the three armies, the one who can really make the decision in Youzhou must be his heavy mountain."

As soon as he spoke, the counselor who spoke out this countermeasure suddenly turned pale and he immediately knelt down to apologize. As an official of the court, he knew very well how important the difference between the master and the subordinates was. Not to mention the army, it was even in a yamen. Once the people below knew that the master could not be the master, then soon, your government orders would not be passed, and the final result would be only one, which would be emptied.

Obviously, Sun Bi didn't want to be the puppet and was offered up. Since he took the position of commander of the three armies, it would be impossible for the heavy mountain people to take back the military power.

This is also the reason why the court has made many difficulties for whom the commanders of the army in the northern border. Even princes like Sun Bi cannot suppress these arrogant soldiers, let alone others. Perhaps only by sending the prince over here will be effective, but obviously the emperor will not use him.

After a moment of silence, Sun Bi said in a deep voice: "I must have the final say on the granary. This is my first step to gaining military power. I originally didn't want to have any rift with a general like Shen Chongshan, and I wanted to solve the problem in a friendly manner, but since he refused to give me this face, he would only use some other means."

"Prince, it's about the morale of the army, so you can't do anything randomly." Hearing that he said this, the subordinates were really panicked, for fear that he would turn against him in anger and take down the heavy mountain or subordinates directly. In that case, the Youzhou army would be blown up...

He glanced at them in anger and said, "Who said I was going to be in trouble? Even if I really wanted to kill the chicken to war, I had to hold on to their handle first. In this way, Fan Rang, you will draw a military order for me, and say that the war in Yingzhou is urgent. We must send a group of people to support first, and let the two generals Zhao Feijie and Qian Jinzhi lead 5,000 troops."

"Ah..." Fan Rang, who was named, was stunned at first, then quickly understood and quickly agreed, "Yes, the official will make arrangements now."

The others have also come back to the taste. The two generals Sun Bi ordered this time were all those who led troops to defend the granary and caused trouble in the granary, and they were also confidant old subordinates of Shenshan. This move was really a way to remove the firewood from the cauldron, and they immediately transferred the two generals out of the granary. At the same time, they also warned the others that if they dared to be enemies with them again, this would be the end.

Five thousand people really wanted to take the order to go to Yingzhou. When they encountered the besieged Guirong army, they would end up in extremely dangerous situations.

Logically speaking, Sun Bi shouldn't have made such a decision to damage his own troops, but who made his current situation worry and what must be done to seize absolute authority?

Those subordinates had been fed up in the past few days, and without hesitation, they immediately drafted a transfer order, and then Du Xiuxian took it and sent it to the Youzhou military camp.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to be a coach, and sometimes you have to use some extraordinary means to suppress your subordinates and wait.

...

When it got dark that day, Youzhou City, which had become a large barracks, quickly returned to peace. Only a few sounds of magical fighting came, and there was no longer the bustle of the past.

In this regard, it has long been accustomed to the heavy mountains that have been stationed in Youzhou for many years.

At the age of 47, he has been in the army for thirty years and has been in Youzhou for nearly twenty years. There will be martial law in the whole city once or twice a year, so the quieter he is, the more he feels at ease.

However, he was not completely at ease at this time, because this time, Youzhou may not be completely decided by him, the governor of Youzhou. King Ying Sun Bi actually arrived as the commander of the three armies, which was very intention to take away his military power. This is something that Shen Dashen, who has been in the military for many years, could not accept.

One reason why he didn't want the power to fall. The most important thing is that he could not believe in this pampering boy who was not dry and had a good time. How could a young man who had never been to the battlefield, had led soldiers, and had only relied on his status as a prince to win such a high position. How could he have the ability to lead the army of the northern border to fight against the cruel and cunning Guirong people?

I don’t know what Your Majesty and the officials in the court are thinking. Could it be that they were all frightened by the invasion of Gui Rong this time that they would make such a stupid decision.

Even though Sun Bi has been in Youzhou for half a month, he still cannot accept it and is not even willing to meet him. He simply took the disease at home and watched his subordinates make a fuss to see if Sun Bi can die.

But at this moment, Shen Chongshan suddenly realized that the one who was about to die had become himself. Because several confidant subordinates brought a military order, Sun Bi actually wanted to send Zhao Feijie and Qian Jin to Yingzhou! What was that arrangement? It was clearly to send two people to die!

Everyone knows this, especially Qian and Zhao, who were even more uneasy and looked at their coach with a blunt look: "Master, what should we do?"

"I really didn't expect that Sun Bi had no other skills, but was insidiously plotting. He was clearly coming for the granary matter. Grandmaster, you have to make the decision for us!"

The heavy mountain snorted heavily: "He is such a good method! He wants to force me to plead with him. Once I really go, he can naturally take back his life, but at the same time, he can also let me give up the power of the granary..."

Everyone knew the truth and was reluctant, but if they really wanted to die in vain, they would naturally be even more unwilling to accept it. So everyone's eyes were once again on the face of their boss, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a long period of contemplation, Chen Chongshan finally made a decision: "Forget it, I will let him take a step this time and meet Sun Bi tomorrow. I just hope he can stop when he sees it. Also, I understand that I am doing this for the sake of the overall situation!"
