Among the civil and military officials who were all in the church were Cui Wan, Lu E, Tian Bei and others who were officials of the shogunate; there were also generals Liu Hao, Diao Feng and Du Zhi urged Xue Lang and other subordinates to investigate the central military and the official positions of the imperial court;

There are also Gao Ba, Hailing Town General, Li Quan, Huqiu Town General, Liu Jin, Quxi Group Training Officer, Jia Lingwei, Xufei Group Training Officer; and even Dong Chang, a newcomer, who came to Hangzhou Badu Group Training Officer, were present.

However, under Zhou Bao's unanimous voice and his sharp eyes as sharp as snow, the crowd in the hall was suddenly as if they were on pins and needles or burning fire. They couldn't help but stand up in a hurry, and accused them of guilt and politeness, fear or shame.

"I am ashamed of my own..."

"I wish I could share my worries for the court..."

"I am so stupid, please be punished by public punishment..."

Compared with the Prince Gao, who is known as the "block of the country", "a pillar of the south sky" and "a contemporary god", this reputation as a "good general of the world" who has served in the five dynasties to this day is also paved and exaggerated with the achievements of killing people and the journey of corpses.

Of course, there were many bloody achievements of foreign captives and rebels, and some of them were also violated or violated his will, and became victims of military law that were prohibited, and even died in an unknown place.

Therefore, he was able to be transferred to Huainan after Gao Pian, who was highly anticipated, and could still suppress these things with light clothes. He had long been a Southeastern financial and wealthy place and raised some arrogant soldiers in Zhenhai. Even with his relatively weak military power, Gao Pian from Huainan was in a state of competing with each other.

Therefore, once Zhou Bao made a statement, they would inevitably be silent and looked like they bowed their heads and gave in. Of course, whether Zhou Bao could suppress them was a completely different matter if he could drive them to do their best in everything; or do his best to show and act;

After all, as one of the most common features of the entire era, the game between the vassal commanders appointed and airborne by the court, and the military groups that were locally formed, and the township party and county leaders was everywhere in daily affairs.

Even Zhou Bao, who has long been famous for his generation, needs to rely on the court's righteousness and personal authority; he can win over the children and soldiers of the town in order to steadily overwhelm the peripheral soldiers and local power factions. He always maintains a certain authority that is the same.

However, these various people and horses belonging to the name of Zhenhai Jiedushi and their leaders also have corresponding survival philosophy of seeking profit and avoiding harm, and the corresponding methods of facing strong vassal commanders can be said to be mostly experienced but unrestrained.

Although Zhou Bao had the right to be loyal and rewarded and punished, and could deal with any of them at will, he could not solve and ban the village party group he represented at once.

Especially for the top figures like Gao Ba, who represent the background of the township party and the United Nations League; or as the representative of Dong Chang, the Hangzhou Badu Tuan, who is a powerful local faction who is in fact separating the wealthy provinces and basically obeys the preaching and not the order; he can only openly comfort and admit the fait accompli, and secretly take it.

However, now that the thief soldiers are in front, Zhou Bao has to use their strength to overcome the danger together; this inappropriate plan and plan can only be pushed back.

After all, under the unparalleled rage of thieves, they had to work together with the camp, or to join forces to keep warm in order to protect their own power and territory.

At least, in this atmosphere where the law does not blame the public, Zhou Bao could not specifically attack or hold someone accountable, and took the opportunity to justify the situation and seized several officials and titles and merged them. However, at this time, someone finally broke the following-ups with a different voice.

"Ling Gong is on the way, and I think the thieves on the river are just a small problem. As long as they are not allowed to land in one day, it will be difficult for them to truly threaten the safety of the city in one day."

However, he was a general who looked quite capable, thin and strong, and was famous for his role as Ding Congshi. He stood up and bowed and said loudly regardless of other people's strange eyes and expressions.

"The real barrier is to be mostly raging thieves outside the city. As long as they can gather elite troops to defeat them, the thieves on the river will be able to retreat without fighting. Although they are not talented and have a low position, they are please allocate a group of people and hope that they will be the commissar for the communique to serve before."

So the hall suddenly became silent, and all kinds of eyes gathered on this person, not knowing whether he was ignorant or ignorant and fearless, or a talented and bold, or too confident...

The next afternoon, Ding Congshi, who was awarded the position of the chief general of the camp, was already walking in the corridor between the yamen and the back house, but there was a scholar beside him chattering and persuading him.

"Ding Duke will listen to my advice. You are really inappropriate in this matter. Do you think the Lord will distribute these old and united children to the same place and help each other, just for the sake of simplicity and safety?"

"You also know that since the Huainan army crossed the river to fight against the thieves, Ling Gong has set up other troops in addition to the Yamen. He was called the Houlou Capital and gave him money, grain, and equipment, and selected the strong men from all over the 17 prefectures in Jiangdong to fill them. Now seven or eight thousand people have gathered in the city... Why are you concerned?"

It turns out that under the jurisdiction of the Zhenhai Jiedushi, in addition to the regiment training and guarding soldiers from various states, the Zhenhai camp soldiers stationed in the Jiezhenyuan in Yangzhou also have the same ills and conventions of many contemporary vassal states, and the ills and practices of joining together to control the local area.

However, Jiangdong is rich and the people are relatively weak and gentle. Correspondingly, the soldiers from the other party, the soldiers from the camp and the children of the city are not as brave as those in the north, who dare to infringe on the superiors or defeat the superiors, and often kill the masters or expel them, forcing them to undermine the envoys sent by the court.

At most, they are rampant and illegal, and even kill people and rob people and rob people, and there is a degree that the officials dare not control them. As long as the generals and chief officials appointed by the court are not short of clothing and food, they are still considered respectful and obedient; at most, they are under the accumulation of power and high pressure, and some disguised delays and obediences.

However, compared with the newly compiled 70,000 troops in Huainan Town, the number of troops that Zhenhai Jiedu can usually support is only between 30,000 and 40,000; in addition to the slightly better equipment, the specific combat power is even worse.

However, the Huainan Army, known as the powerful army in the southeast, had been defeated by the thieves, and Zhang Zi, the general who was known as "Zhang Wudi", was awarded the title of "Zhang Wudi". After Huang Ni's power resurrected, he became even more devastated in fifteen states, and was known as "200,000".

Therefore, although Zhou Bao had the reputation and qualifications of "a good general of the four dynasties", he was not at ease to take them out and engage in decisive battles with those thieves in the wild; he would rather guard the cities with conservative and moderate levels, leave elite troops with Dantu's town, and form a trend of mutual resistance and echoing.

And this person also told him an additional news that Zhang Yu, the general who was trapped in Jiangning, was born as a polo player whom Zhou Dashuai was close to. He was then given the position of the general. Now he is really the position of the other party.

Therefore, his advice this time not only caused local troops to mobilize some troops to assist the Danzeng. He also had some grudges towards him, the initiator, and had already offended most of the children of the local camp in disguise.

While the other party was talking, Ding Congshi saw the White Gray Moon Gate inside the back house, and then saw a bloody body soaked in the gaima, which was lifted out in a hurry. The scribes who accompanied and led the way suddenly became ugly, and they found a reason to refuse to go again.

However, this Zhou Linggong killed a maid in the back house; and as we all know from the yamen and the mansion, this good general of the four dynasties had no other hobbies or problems except for his extravagance and pomp; he left a habit in his early military career.

Once he is restless or has poor rest, he will kill people to vent his anger. Therefore, after his tenure as he was in office, the rebels have killed and dealt with more than 20 people around him. Among them are slaves and maids walking in the back house, minor officials and followers who are in contact, and even a local singer who is a local storage;

Therefore, people with a little common sense in the Jieya Mansion will first learn from inside and outside to find out if Zhou Jieshang and Zhou envoy have killed people and vented their anger recently; while seeking profit and avoiding harm, Ding Congshi, who was summoned this time, was obviously a vague calculation.

But since Ding Congshi had already bumped into it, he could only grit his teeth and ask someone to report it. After all, compared to the risks he might encounter, he, who is from a slightly cold background, needs this opportunity to stand out.

However, Zhou Bao, who was wearing an ordinary silk shirt, was drinking chicken oil porridge regardless of his image. It was as plain and quiet as if nothing had happened. If it weren't for the paint stripping area on the corner of the table that had no time to be filled.

"You're here just right..."

During the unbearable silent waiting, I finally finished drinking the chicken oil porridge in the soup cup. Zhou Bao, whose hair and beard were white, didn't even wipe the remains of the corners of his mouth.

"Since you have the ambition and spirit of daring to do things, why should I give you a team of people? Just want to get this opportunity, you must first tell me where do you plan to start with?."

......

In the territory of Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui) in Jiangbei, Hefei City, as the prefecture, it was already a solemn atmosphere and situation where people were facing a great enemy and were ashamed of danger. Almost everyone in the city held bows and arrows, holding swords, spears and guard cards, gathered on the top of the city in fear and panic.

Yang Xinghan, the governor of Luzhou and the new commander of the prefecture, and his deputy Li Shenfu, generals Liu Wei, Tian Feng, Qin Pei, Zhou Ben and others also stood on the top of the Duanming Tower of Chongyun Temple in the northwest corner of the city wall, watching the vast crowds of people rushing past like turbid waves outside the city.

And these thieves who were like overwhelming torrents, had been walking through the city for a whole day and night, but they still seemed to have no end to gather in a steady stream, and passed by the city, leaving only one piece of trampled and flat bare land after another.

Hefei City, which is located in it, is like an isolated island in the vast ocean, like a reef, and is full of despair and chilling meaning. Because, according to the person who escaped to take refuge, in addition to the Luzhou Prefecture City, Hefei, Shucheng County, Shen County, Lujiang County and Chao County under Luzhou have all fallen into thieves.

"There are all those who can retreat outside the city here..."

Looking at this scene, Li Shenfu said sadly and helplessly

"The rest of the things that cannot catch up will be completely hopeless. I'm afraid I'll be almost spared in such a situation."

"I really don't care about them anymore... I'll let the children have dinner and prepare the equipment in case of an unexpected situation."

However, Yang Xingmin said decisively without hesitation.

"The time has been set is almost here, so we will wait for the corresponding order."

After several hours, and when the needle shadow on the corona began to advance to the Shenshiyi in the afternoon, the number of thieves outside the city finally became sparse and more chaotic. The several ochre-red flags mixed in it made Yang Xinghan, who had been standing still and drinking, suddenly react and lively;

Then he was dressed neatly and shouted in a deep voice to the gathering members under the tower.

"The time has come, and all the men will follow me to kill the thieves and serve the country... and restore their hometown."

"Kill the thief to serve the country."

"Kill the thief to serve the country."

"Kill the thief to serve the country."

The Luzhou army, who suddenly opened the city to fight out, suddenly became a big killing among these thieves who seemed much weaker, as if they were blooming in the center and entering a deserted land.

As these fierce and powerful officers and soldiers rage, they burst into despair, and screams of despair, and cries echoed in the wilderness of the city for a while.

Although some people left their objects and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy and surrender, they were all cut over, stabbed and stabbed to death by these officials who seemed to be red-eyed.

Soon, many bloody thief heads that were still frozen in their lifetime, shocked and surprised expressions were piled up outside the Luzhou city gate where they attacked, and welcomed the unanimous cheers and praises from the soldiers and civilians on the city.

As for a team of thieves who were still wandering and watching in the distance, they seemed to be unmoved to watch and sit down from afar; until the last figure on the battlefield could stand was kicked under the feet by the official army's war horses.

Then he opened the flag again and slapped the horse and slowly retreated towards the distance. Until this moment, Yang Xingmin, who was tense of all his body under the indifferent expression, exhaled a slight breath of turbid air and dropped a stone in his heart on the ground.

"They have been killed as promised, and there is no living left... the other party can feel at ease..."

At this time, Zhang Shenfu, who was riding a horse to drive him to the side, could not hide his lust.

"I also want to congratulate the guards. Now there is no longer any existence in the whole city of Zhou and even the entire Luzhou area that can hinder our behavior and ambitions."

However, Yang Xingmin looked into the distance without saying anything, with a deep look on his face, but remembered all the experiences and experiences he had seen and encountered in the Huainan camp. However, since some things have begun, they can never go back or make up for them, and can only continue to go to the dark side of this path.

"Don't relax your guard, and don't rush to recover lost land. First, we will rectify our people and weapons."

Then he made up his mind and ordered:

"I promise not to go back to Shuzhou, Hezhou, and there is still room for us to continue to seek and act..."
