Andong Prefecture, the garrison of the First Prefecture Army.

The general of the government, Li Chenfeng, ordered all officials above the first government to join the general's office to discuss matters.

"Emperor Zhang, do you know what the general is going to call us here this time? There is no war in Andong Mansion?" Huang Cheng, the fourth eunuch, asked in confusion.

Zhang Ju smiled and said, "I don't know, but as officers, we should act according to orders."

"You said, could it be Youzhou..." Huang Cheng asked in a low voice.

Zhang Ju's face turned right and said, "We should not be in charge of this matter, and it is not our turn to take charge of it. Just do your job well. The Grand Governor has an order that each army must not interfere in political affairs, and those who violate the violations will be severely punished. You won't forget it, right?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I understand." Huang Cheng quickly smiled apologized. Although he was both a captain, Zhang Ju's qualifications were much older than him. Zhang Ju was born in the Longxiang Guard, and he was only born in the Hebei Prefecture Army, which was not a little bit short of it.

Seeing Huang Cheng like this, Zhang Ju did not continue to look stern and smiled and said, "Brother Huang, it's not that I'm talking more. Now at this time, it's better to worry less, don't get involved." After saying that, someone else greeted him.

"Damn it, isn't it just that I joined the army earlier than me? What's so great about it!" Huang Cheng cursed in his heart.

Shortly after the officials entered the conference hall, Li Chenfeng appeared in the hall. But not only Li Chenfeng, but also the fifth and sixth government officials Bao Muyang and Li Xu, beside him, there were people from the Shadow Department and the Defense Department.

Seeing such a scene, it was not clear to those present that something must have happened.

Li Chenfeng said in a deep voice: "The Grand Commander has an order that all generals of the government will go to Youzhou City to discuss matters. The troops of the government will be temporarily commanded by the deputy generals, Shadow Guards, and Security Departments. They must not act rashly, otherwise they will be killed without any hesitation!"

The generals were stunned, their faces were different, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Li Chenfeng glanced at him and said, "You may have doubts, why did the general receive orders and summon you too. Below, the persons I call him will act with me."

"The captain of the third battalion of the first capital, the captain of the first battalion of the second capital, the captain of the first battalion of the third capital, the captain of the first battalion of the third capital, the captain of the first battalion of the third capital, and the captain of the fourth capital, the captain of the fourth capital, Huang Cheng..."

"Everyone, the people who were called, will join me in Youzhou City this time. The other tribes strictly abide by the local areas and follow the orders of the deputy general and military commander. Do you have any questions?" Li Chenfeng said lightly.

Some people naturally guessed something from the list of people Li Chenfeng ordered, and those who were clicked turned pale.

"Wait..." Huang Cheng stepped out and said, "General, who knows who passed the order of this Grand Commander?"

Li Chenfeng said sarcastically: "What does Huang Duwei mean? The order of the Grand Commander is naturally passed down by the Grand Commander. Is this still necessary? Is it unwilling to obey the order of the Grand Commander?"

Huang Cheng said slowly: "No, of course not. Youzhou was wearing it, and the Grand Governor was assassinated. May I ask the general, where did this military order come from? I will not blame my subordinates for not following it. Everyone who is doing it is loyal to the Grand Governor, and we do not want to be used by some people with ulterior motives."

"Don't worry, Commander Huang, you said that this is just a rumor. Who told you that the Grand Governor was assassinated and killed? The imperial court? The Youzhou Government Affairs Department? Or did some people secretly tell you?"

"General, why do you need to talk to him too much? The Grand Commander is here with a sword. Anyone who does not obey the order will be killed without mercy!" A rough voice came from behind Li Chenfeng.

"Master Han, you are so handsome... I want to explain to them." Li Chenfeng said to the mighty man beside him with a smile.

"Han Meng!" The generals suddenly recognized the identity of this great man. Zhao Xun's personal guard camp commander was rumored to have died in assassination with Zhao Xun.

Han Meng took the Lingxu sword, scratched his head, and said, "What's the explanation? Isn't it just that some people are trying to differentiate our Xiaoguo Army's bastard? Let me tell you, you can kill it directly."

The leader of the Anton Prefecture Branch of the Shadow Department said coldly: "Huang Cheng, on the evening of the 18th and the 20th, are you meeting with others? What's going on?"

"I haven't seen anyone!" Huang Cheng's face froze and he said coldly.

"Is that right? The three people you met are in our hands. Should we let them talk to you in person? By the way, the people you clicked on just now, your family has been placed separately by the Shadow Department. So, you don't need to arrange anything when you go back, just act with the general."

Seven or eight people trembled all over, and finally they smiled bitterly, and didn't say much.

After Li Chenfeng handed over the affairs of Andong Mansion, he rushed to Youzhou City. Not only were they leaving, but also dozens of officers at all levels.

After Li Chenfeng left, the lieutenants of each battalion summoned their subordinates to gather. And those camps that were taken away by the lieutenants and the lieutenants, the lieutenants, took over the role.

"The first and fourth, follow these adults!"

The captain of the First Battalion of the First Capital looked coldly at the dozen or so commanders of the subordinates, and casually ordered. Not far from the captain were the soldiers of the Shadow Division and the Army judges. The red flame armband on the right arm of the Shadow Division and the Army judges were stunned by everyone present.

The second battalion of the first capital...the third battalion...the same is true for each battalion.

The second palace... the third palace... the generals of each government army and some officers entered Youzhou City to discuss matters.

At the same time, the prefects of various prefectures were also ordered by the government departments, such as Youzhou City to discuss matters.

Jizhou Prefecture, the governor's office.

Since the prefect of Jizhou Prefecture, Xu Liangfu, the governor, has become a decoration. Xiao Guojun still paid him a salary according to the court standards. However, he had long been accustomed to living in high standards, and had no extra money and his life became embarrassing. What made him even more resentful was that Xiao Guojun asked them to move out of the governor's mansion and find another place to live.

Xu Liangfu originally accepted his fate, but what else can he do except curse secretly? But since the news of Zhao Xun's assassination came out, first the imperial court came to his mansion, and then some officials from the former county and the current officials visited him from time to time. Of course, this was done secretly.

Xu Liangfu was very excited because according to the words of the adults in his family, as long as he supports one of the young masters to the throne, he will be reused, and perhaps he can be restored to the governor-level official. Even if he is not reused, he will be arranged by him when he returns to the court.

Xu Liangfu was excited. He didn't feel it when he became an official. Only when he lost the official did he realize the benefits of power. The feeling of being the best is that it was extraordinary. He also wanted to give some people who looked down on him a little more beautiful, so he began to contact people and take action.

However, the effect was not as good as he expected. Zhao Xun's two sons' mothers were disdainful of their proposals and even ordered to scold them. If it weren't for their title as governor, they wouldn't even be able to enter the Governor's Office.

If one road is not open, then change another road. As a result, Xu He and Li Luobei both scolded them.

"Don't they want their nephews and grandchildren to be promoted? Don't they know the benefits of continuing like this? These bastards!" Xu Liangfu, who was rejected again, returned to the mansion and couldn't help but complain to the three people above.

"Bang..." Before the three of them could speak, the door was knocked open."

"Who? How dare..." Xu Liangfu roared angrily.

The three words "Shadow Department!" are like a huge stick, which directly shocked Xu Liangfu and stood there, and the words in his mouth came to an abrupt end.

If you want to talk about the territory under the jurisdiction of Xiaoguo Army, what is the most feared by officials from all over the country and the people’s favorite yamen? It’s strange that such a yamen that is not visible and does not leak water is actually the most favored by the people.

There is nothing else. If the people are bullied by the people, then go to the government. If they are bullied by the government, their target is the Shadow Department's yamen in various places. The Shadow Department's yamen can take on cases in another place. That is to say, if you are in one mansion, you are bullied by the government and want to sue, but are afraid of the officials protecting each other. Then you go to other mansions and report to the Shadow Department's yamen. In such a situation, the Shadow Department will also take over.

The government cannot accept cases in other places, but the Shadow Department does it. They cooperate with the Supervision Department to supervise all officials. This is not good for officials, but for the people, it is a great blessing. In fact, this is also because the Shadow Department's secret agents are easy to investigate, and the situation reported by the people will be slightly clear. As for how to deal with the aftermath, it will be handed over to the Supervision Department.

This similar thing happened in Yuyang Prefecture... Zhuozhou Prefecture... every place of every administration. In addition to officials, some people hiding in secret were also broken into the door by the Shadow Department and captured them. Those who counterattacked were not ruthless and directly killed. With some people being arrested, they were ordered to go to Youzhou City to discuss matters. Some smart people also guessed something. In various parts of Youzhou, there were also many comments about the two young masters taking over the position of the Grand Governor.

…………

The leader of the Sumo-Mi-He tribe, Qi Yuanyi, was also very confused at this moment. First, he heard that Zhao Xun, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, was assassinated on his way back to Youzhou. The troops were busy with internal affairs. Under the teasing of some people, he prepared to counterattack. However, he suppressed this thought after being persuaded by the head of Zuohu and others. But he still had to make a tentative decision.

In mid-May, he sent more than a thousand people pretending to be bandits to test the land that was cut off by the Xiaoguo army. Although he had ceded more than a hundred miles of land, it is nominally the land of Liaozhou Prefecture, which made Qi Yuanyi extremely angry.

The result of the test was obvious, but it was far beyond his expectations. Xiao Guojun responded, and the reaction was too big, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

The Xiaoguo army marched fifty miles together and plundered all the people of Sumo and Maru tribes that had been more than fifty miles away. Mao did not leave him a single one, and the rumbling sound that made his heart beat louder.

Not only that, the Xiaoguo Army also sent a team to enter the territory of Sumo and Martialis and began to rob. In the reply of the Xiaoguo Army, they were also bandits.

Damn, are there any bandits wearing armor and thunder? Qie Yuanyi was so angry that he wanted to curse. But he couldn't beat the Xiaoguo Army, so he went to find the people who told him the real situation of the Xiaoguo Army and teased him to attack. Only then did he realize that these people had long disappeared without a trace.

Qi Yuanyi was not stupid. He knew that he had been fooled. He even suspected that this was a conspiracy composed and directed by the Xiaoguo Army, in order to annex the population and land of the Sumo Jingshi tribe. This speculation suddenly made him full of energy, like a balloon that was venting air, shrinking. Since it was the conspiracy of the Xiaoguo Army, what else could he fight? Maybe the other party was thinking of doing this himself.

Do this? Our Left House Chief once again became an envoy and talked with Xiaoguo Jun.

The fifth mansion didn't know why the Sumo-Muhe tribe was quite arrogant at first, and it would turn into a soft-footed shrimp. But it didn't mean that they really wanted to fight with the Sumo-Muhe tribe. Immediately, the military commander Yang Wangqing sent someone to negotiate with him, and finally let the Sumo-Muhe tribe compensate for the losses.

Qi Yuanyi kept scolding himself, not only did he suffer any losses, but he also had to compensate the other party for war horses, cattle, sheep and livestock. He was unwilling to accept it, but he had to do so. However, the Xiaoguo Army also secretly gave them a reminder that they could attack the Liaodong Kingdom, and the Xiaoguo Army did not help each other, but could secretly sell their weapons.

To be honest, Qi Yuanyi wanted to get the thunder of the sky, but it was obvious that the Xiaoguo Army was precious to this thing and decided not to sell it at that time. Qi Yuanyi did not have much hope for this. He was already very satisfied to get the armor and weapons of the Xiaoguo Army. Although he knew that the Xiaoguo Army was using him to weaken the forces of the two sides and balance the strength of the two sides, he could only accept it. If he did not accept it, the Liaodong Kingdom would turn to attack him. Without the support of the Xiaoguo Army, it would be difficult for them to persist.
