Several people seemed very excited when they met, and Xue An almost fell when he went up the steps.

"General, I haven't seen you for many years, the general is even more powerful than before!" Xue Andu clasped his fists excitedly and bowed down.

"Get up, you're already a general, you don't have to!" Zhao Junsheng stepped forward to help Xue An up, "Gao Xiu arrived two days earlier than you!"

Gao Xiu was unsmiling, his nature was like this, when he saw Xue An, he just smiled slightly and cupped his fists: "The general is now the prince, I should call him the prince!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Call me General, I like it when you call me that! Let's go in and talk, let's go!"

The two walked into the Governor's Mansion hand in hand and came to the lobby.

The servants brought tea and snacks, and Zhao Junsheng said to both Gao Xiu and Xue An: "Let's chat casually for a while, and let Ceuta go to have a good rest later! By the way, you have to go through dozens of big cities and There are quite a few passes, is the road going smoothly?"

Xue An stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "General, you can tell by looking at my clothes. I came here disguised as a businessman from Huazhou. The gate guards on the road are nothing more than asking for money. They don't know my identity. Give them money." Naturally, there will be no embarrassment, the journey went smoothly, but I encountered a group of unscrupulous little bandits and fought, the goods were not lost, and a few brothers died."

Zhao Junsheng knew that Xue An was easy to say, and there must be many crises along the way. In the past, when the imperial court was still powerful, the local officials and generals were honest, but now the prestige of the court has plummeted. Their strength is to try their best to make money, and they will naturally not let go of the business travelers passing by. It is also common for them to fight each other in order to grab the territory.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Wuchuan Town and Youzhou have been fully connected. There is no obstacle for Gao Xiu to come here. Your side must be more troublesome. Which way did you go?"

Xue Andu said: "After starting from Huazhou, we crossed the river to Hedong, then walked from Hedong to Hanoi, and then went all the way north to come here."

"Hedong?" Zhao Junsheng frowned and said: "Isn't Hedong now occupied by Xue Yongzong and his gang? It is said that Bu Liuguli was leading an army to attack at the beginning, but after Zong Ai died, Bu Liuguli stopped attacking Xue Yongzong in order to protect himself , The imperial court has nothing to do with him, but wants to appease him, you have entered Xue Yongzong's territory, these people can let you pass freely?"

For the imperial court, the rebellion of Xue Yongzong, a rural clan member without official position, is a rebellion. Naturally, it will take great efforts to exterminate it, but I don’t know why Bu Liuguli led the army to attack for several months. Go down to Hedong to destroy Xue Yongzong.

Xue An smiled and said: "The general doesn't know, Xue Yongzong and I are brothers of the same clan! In addition, my father was the prefect of Shangdang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty when he was alive.

I have some contacts, so the first half of the trip was relatively smooth, but I ran into trouble after entering Taihang Mountain."

"No wonder!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Bu Liuguli led an army of [-] to attack Xue Yongzong's rebellion in Hedong for several months without success. Could it be that you are secretly supporting Xue Yongzong?"

Xue An smiled and cupped his fists and said, "General Huiyan, I did give Xue Yongzong some support, sent a few generals to help him defend the city, and supported some soldiers, but the rest would be gone. If it wasn't for Zong Ai He died suddenly, and Bu Liuguli was afraid of being liquidated by the court and led his army back to Taiyuan. Xue Yongzong couldn't bear to be suppressed at this time. Although he had a large number of men, they were just mobs after all, and the hearts of the people were not in harmony. Will be too long!"

Zhao Junsheng knew that what Xue Yongzong said should be the truth, and the rebellion without organization and specific planning is destined to last forever.

"How many soldiers and horses do you have now?"

Xue An said: "In addition to the 3000 troops given to me by the general, I only have 4000 people in Huazhou, but the combat power of these 4000 people is not bad, but Huazhou is too small after all. Soldiers and horses. Moreover, I was also suppressed by Leather Leopard. He is the general of Chang’an Town, and he is above me. He has been taking half of Huazhou’s finances and taxes, so I can’t afford to increase my troops.” .

Zhao Junsheng waved and asked everyone else in the hall to go out, leaving only the three of them. He took out two military reform and reorganization plans and handed them to Gao Xiu and Xue Andu respectively.

"I decided to conduct a comprehensive reorganization of the generals under my command. This is a detailed plan. The two of you have a look at it first!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he looked at Xue An and said: "Xiuda's residence is in Huazhou, which is separated from me by thousands of mountains and rivers. If we organize it according to the above, it may arouse the vigilance of the leopards. On Ceuta’s side, I won’t force you, it depends on the situation, if you can reorganize it, do it, if you can’t, just put it on hold!”

Chapter 597 Military Reform

This reorganization plan has no effect on Gao Xiu and Xue An, and actually increases their power.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Do you have any different ideas? Just bring it up if you have any, don't worry!"

Gao Xiu said: "The last general has no objection, I think it's a good thing to do!"

According to this reorganization and restructuring plan, the soldiers and horses in Wuchuan Town will be reorganized into two armies, Guangsheng Army and Xingyuan Army; Army and West China Army, the organizational structure has changed slightly, and the full strength of an army is more than [-] people.

According to this reorganization plan, Gao Xiu's Wu Chuan Army will lay off some people, but those who have been laid off don't need to be dismissed, they can be retained to do some logistical work, but Xue Andu's strength should be increased.

After the three talked for a while, Zhao Junsheng asked Gao Xiu and Xue An to go to rest separately, while he himself was busy with official duties.

At night, Zhao Junsheng hosted a banquet to welcome the two of them. Hua Mulan was also there, and Pei Jin also came. Among the veterans who followed Zhao Junsheng, only Gao Xu and Cao Jiao were absent. They were guarding Liaodong alone. One is guarding Pyongyang.

Waiting for the lights in the lobby, it is very bright, Hua Mulan is familiar with Gao Xiu and Xue An, and everyone is not too restrained.

Gao Xiu took a sip of his wine and said, "Actually, I think Xiuta doesn't have to worry about leather leopards anymore. Although he is strong and strong, he needs to be deterred by too many surrounding forces. There is also a bald Baozhou rebellion in the west, Qiang people, Di Humans and Jie people are not very honest, if you send someone with a lot of money to go to Qiu Chi to provoke one or two, Pi Leopard will only be more distressed!"

Pei Jin took a bite and said, "Well, I think it's feasible. Qiu Chi has always served the Southern Dynasty as the main force, and the Southern Dynasty has always wanted to conquer Guanzhong. Qiu Chi wants to please the Southern Dynasty. He should be willing to put some pressure on the leather leopard!"

Hua Mulan listened to Zhao Junsheng discussing the situation in Guanzhong with them, and she said: "I think the situation in Guanzhong is too complicated, with too many influences, and Ceuta's influence is not enough. It is not appropriate to make troubles with the leather leopard right now." It’s too rigid. As for taxes, give some to maintain a decent appearance. If Ceuta wants to strengthen its strength, I think we should focus on Hedong!”

Zhao Junsheng's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked: "Xiu Da, how is your fellow brother Xue Yongzong? Can you win him over?"

After hearing this, Xue An couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "Although I'm a brother of the same clan as him, I'm really not very familiar with him. Since he led the clansmen to launch a rebellion, the general should think that he is a very restless person. Now he occupies the land of Hedong, with a large number of people, and Bu Liuguli led the army back to Taiyuan, how can he still pay attention to me? He has been sending people to win me over and let me follow him , He said he could let me sit in the fifth place! My mother, it’s really unreasonable that his bandit-like tactics can last for a long time! If it weren’t for the sake of some blood relationship, I would have I just withdrew the few generals I sent in the past!"

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of the wine and didn't speak, but he began to ponder in his heart.

Hua Mulan did have some ideas, she said, "For now, we need Xue Yongzong's power to contain Buliuguli. This person has [-] elites in his hands, so he must not be underestimated. Emperor Tuoba Jun even takes him I have no choice but to find a way to appease him. If Xue Yongzong's power is wiped out by Bu Liuguli, you Huazhou will face a great threat. There is only a river between the two sides. Once the Yellow River freezes in winter, his cavalry can Zhang drove straight into the border of Huazhou!"

"In addition, the Wei family members in the Yuluo area may have great ideas about Xue Yongzong in Hedong. The Wei family members are General Annan and Hulao Township, and they also supervise the military forces in the two prefectures of Henan and Luozhou. They are responsible for resisting the threat of the Southern Dynasty. Xue Yongzong The expansion of power in Hedong has posed a great threat to Weijuan's back. Xue Yongzong is like a stick in the throat for Weijuan. If it were me, I would definitely find a way to get rid of Xue Yongzong first. If you occupy Hedong, you can advance and retreat. Keep it!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "Although Xue Yongzong's subordinates are all mobs, they are large in number and not strong in offensive ability. If they only defend the city, it may not be easy for the Wei family to take down Hedong in a short time. After all, his main The enemy is from the Southern Dynasty, so I am afraid that he will join forces with Bu Liuguli to attack Xue Yongzong from the north and the south, but this possibility is not

It's very big, once Xue Yongzong is finished, the forces of Weijuan and Buliuguli will be on the border! "

Hua Mulan disagreed with Zhao Junsheng's opinion: "Brother Junsheng, I don't quite agree with your opinion. It is entirely possible for Weijuan and Buliuguli to unite. Senior, he has fought countless battles in his life, Buliuguli has served under him for a long time, and his family members still have great influence on him, what if he and Buliuguli marry?"

After listening to Hua Mulan's words, Zhao Junsheng thought about the fact that the current situation might indeed make Weijuan and Buliuguli unite, but he was not worried that Weijuan's strength would increase greatly. Weijuan is a fierce general, not a hero.

Everyone talked for a while, and it was getting late, and Hua Mulan didn't want to continue drinking with the big men until dawn, so she apologized and went back to the backyard to wash and rest.

Only four old partners Zhao Junsheng, Gao Xiu, Xue Andu and Pei Jin remained in the lobby.

Xue An was a little drunk, and asked with the courage of the wine: "General, now that the imperial court is in decline, and the princes from all over the world are doing their own thing, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng put down his wine glass and shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

A personal guard tooth master came in and clasped his fists: "What is your order?"

"No one is allowed near the lobby!"

"As ordered!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the three of them and said, "Since Xiuta asked this question, I will tell you the truth. The few people we waited for had said this question before. How did I tell you?"

Gao Xiu said: "I remember the general said that we must find a place for the Han people in the world to live, so that the Han people can stand up and be upright, and no longer be bullied by the Xianbei dignitaries."

"That's right, I said that, and I've been doing it ever since. Now the Han people in Youzhou enjoy the same rights as the Xianbei people and people from other tribes. Han people can join the army and be officials, and Xianbei people have some. Han people have them!"

Zhao Junsheng continued: "But it is not enough to rely on our Youzhou alone. The power of the Han people in the north of the Yellow River is too weak. The power is in the hands of the Xianbei dignitaries. The ethnic conflicts have existed for too long. , Although several generations of emperors tried their best to ease the conflicts, the ruling class never thought of getting along with the Han people on an equal footing. In order to survive, the conflicts between the two sides not only did not weaken, but intensified!"

"In order to achieve our goal, we must establish a new dynasty. If the new dynasty wants to exist for a long time, we cannot continue to increase this contradiction. We must try our best to eliminate the contradictions between all social classes and ethnic groups, otherwise we will only fall into endless internal friction!"

"The Xianbei people are not strong enough, they don't want to get along with us Han people on an equal footing, and they can't eliminate the conflicts between social classes and ethnic groups, so they are destined not to rule the world for a long time, but we Han people can, we Han people have a broad mind to tolerate them, and we allow other ethnic groups People join the army, allow them to be officials, engage in any industry, do not discriminate against them, and let them have the same social status as the Han people. Only in this way can all internal forces be unified and all forces can be concentrated externally. Let us Han people be the masters of the house!"
