Chapter 35 Bad News

The officers and generals under Guo Zongyi were very busy today. Even Cao Bin, who was devoted to military training, suspended his training classes and called in 500 people to help. The officials, officials, soldiers, and civilians became a pot and fell in front of the Forbidden Army camp.

.

The Forbidden Army Camp was first built in the first year of Xingyuan, when Li Xilie, the king of Nanping County, occupied Bianzhou City and usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named Chu, so this camp was built. It has been 198 years since then, and it has been expanded in the past dynasties.

After the Later Jin Dynasty established the capital here, they spared no expense in re-planning, diverting rivers and canals, erecting high walls, expanding barracks, and building them according to the specifications of a regular camp. It took several years to build a militia of 50,000 people.

Therefore, the current Forbidden Army camp occupies a very large area and is well-distributed. It digs trenches, has a city and a pond, and is divided into five camps according to the front, rear, center, left and right. Each camp has a martial temple, inner courtyard, school grounds, stables, and arsenal.

Granaries, etc., and usually more than 100,000 troops are stationed, which is more than enough.

Such an impregnable standing camp with complete facilities is far better than some small towns. It is no wonder that Bian Guichen is so sensitive to Yao Yuanfu's presence in this camp.

Even Guo Zongyi did not dare to occupy all the five camps in one go, because he was afraid of losing count, and there were not many refugees at the moment, so only activating the front camp was enough to deal with it.

The front camp also built four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest. At this time, the gates of the camp were all open, and things were divided by gates. For example, the mule carts transporting grain and grass supplies entered through the south gate, and empty carts entered through the north gate.

Driving out, the north and south connect like a big river, rushing endlessly.

The east and west gates are where refugees enter the city for inspection and registration. Even though they are divided into two gates, and there are dozens of subordinate officials in charge of each gate, there are still long queues at the camp gate.

As time went by, some people couldn't stand it any longer, so they complained and cursed, which attracted scoldings from the officers in charge. Some people were anxious and feared that they would have to rearrange themselves if they left the team, so they ignored their dignity and relieved themselves on the spot, which even attracted a lot of attention.

Blame.

There were also some people who jumped in the queue, and they got into disputes and were beaten and violently beaten. There were only one to two hundred soldiers patrolling the scene. They were too distracted to think about their tail and could not suppress them at all, so they had to draw their swords and step forward to violently escort the people away.

When Guo Zongyi arrived with his people, he happened to see the above scene. His face darkened, and he galloped forward to find Xue Juzheng at the east gate.

At this moment, Xue Ju was undressing his robe and opening his sleeves. His clothes were disheveled and his official hat had been thrown away. He was commanding a group of black-clothed officials in a hoarse voice to add tables, chairs and documents.

Seeing this, Guo Zongyi resisted the urge to step forward and question him. He was afraid of causing more trouble to him, so he could only suppress his anger, turned his horse's head, and silently entered the camp. No soldiers came up to stop him, but he didn't care at the moment.

Don't pursue these things, the key is to straighten out the current order.

Passing through the east gate, Guo Zongyi could learn that the officials in charge of the West Department were already busy with themselves, and had to allocate manpower to deal with Chai Wang's, Cao Han's, Cao Bin's and other temporary ministers who were not familiar with each other in a hurry.

In between, you will really be in a hurry.

There is no need to go to the west gate. The situation is probably similar to that of the east gate. The positions in the camp responsible for porridge, camping and other matters are probably chaotic and chaotic at the moment.

Seeing that it is getting late, and when it gets dark, it will be even more difficult to manage. We have to find a way to improve the efficiency of this arrangement.

When the group of people arrived at the handsome hall of the front camp, Guo Zongyi also regained his composure.

If you think about it carefully, you can't blame them entirely for this. Organizational and coordination work has always been the most complicated and most demanding of people's abilities.

This kind of affairs is extremely complicated. Even if there are rules and regulations in advance, it will become a different story when it is actually implemented. In addition, when there are too many things at hand, many people no longer care about those rules and regulations.

Judging from his superficial analysis, the current chaos in the camp is actually due to the fact that there is no one to coordinate and respond to the situation. The huge handsome hall in front of him, which according to the regulations should be the center for the current resettlement of displaced people, is actually empty at the moment.

, one can imagine where this chaos comes from.

"Alas." Guo Zongyi sighed slightly, got off his horse in front of the handsome hall, walked straight in without saying a word, and sat down on the animal skin chair in the hall. He ordered his left and right: "Bring Xue Juzheng, Chai Wang, Cao

Han, Cao Bin, Li Fang, and Lu Duan are all called."

Not long after, six people came one after another. When they heard that His Highness suddenly visited them, they felt very bad. They couldn't stand the chaos themselves, not to mention His Highness, who was always strict on errands, now arrived at the handsome hall.

, seeing His Highness's mask covered with frost and his eyes full of gloom, he became even more silent. They all stood in a row under the hall with their heads lowered.

Guo Zongyi's cold eyes swept over them, and when he saw that several of them were tired and looked haggard, he felt a little softer at the moment and gave up his thoughts of scolding.

With a long sigh, he went straight to the point and said: "Xue Juzheng is staying here to take charge of the entire resettlement matter. Chai Wang, please pick out ten quick and clever people to stay under Ziping as messengers. Li Fang goes to the east gate, and Lu

Go to the west gate to take charge of receiving, registering and allocating houses. If there are not enough officials, we will find some among the soldiers and common people who can write and do calculations. Open a few more openings and be sure to receive them all before lighting the lamp."

"Cao Han will continue to be responsible for escorting the grain and fodder, but Ziping will designate a person to be in charge of the entrance and exit of the warehouse. Cao Bin, you will lead your troops back to the camp after delivering the grain and fodder. Before going back, leave 300 people to give to Chai Wang. From now on, they will be replaced every five days.

, until all the refugees are resettled.”

"only!"

"Go and get busy, the people are all waiting."

Chai Wang and Xue Juzheng did not move, and the others left without hesitation.

Guo Zongyi looked at Chai Wang and ordered: "I called you back because I want you to be responsible for the garrison and security of the camp. The headquarters will be responsible for the inside of the camp, and Cao Bin's 300 people will be responsible for the outside of the camp. You can make arrangements."

"Provoke." Chai Wang took the order and went out.

Guo Zongyi and Xue Juzheng were the only ones left in the hall. Guo Zongyi was about to say a few words of encouragement when he heard Xue Juzheng fall to his knees first: "The chaos in the camp has become like this. I feel ashamed."

Guo Zongyi smiled and did not answer, but shouted outside the hall: "Wu Shen, bring it in."

Wu Shen, who was waiting in the corridor, trotted in quickly, holding a set of scarlet robes, a gold crotch belt, and a silver fish charm in his hands.

Guo Zongyi raised his hands to the sky and said: "Today, I specifically asked His Majesty to give you a decree. The Jinshi in Ziping's Qingtai years should have worn the scarves long ago."

This sentence touched Xue Juzheng's heart and made him feel warm all over. However, he still had a righteous expression on his face and declined: "I dare not accept it. Please take back my order."

"Why don't you dare to accept it?" Guo Zongyi asked puzzledly.

Xue Juzheng scratched his neck and said stubbornly: "I am doing the king's business. I don't care about the appearance, and I won't accept it if I don't do it? I came to the West Hall and didn't make any achievements. How can I dare to be rewarded by the Heavenly Family?"

Guo Zongyi really didn't want to get entangled with such unspiritual people, so he had to say: "This is not a reward. You are the king's business, and friendship is also the king's business. There is no need for me to say more about the chaos in the camp today. If there is no one in the middle to take charge,

This kind of chaos will happen again. I can't stay here all day long. That's why I asked you to take charge of the resettlement. You are wearing a green robe, so what prestige do you have?"

Xue Juzheng thought for a moment and then accepted it calmly: "In that case, I'll just wear it."

After saying that, he faced north and bowed down to express his gratitude.

Looking at Xue Juzheng, who was wearing a scarlet robe, Guo Zongyi felt more pleasing to the eye. He himself had an extraordinary bearing, and when he put on high-quality uniforms, he immediately showed the power of a high-ranking official.

Guo Zongyi looked up and down and praised: "This is what it looks like."

Only then did Xue Juzheng remember that he had not thanked the young highness in front of him. After a slight hesitation, he leaned down and bowed down: "I thanked your highness. Your highness loves you so much. I feel deeply about it and will never forget it."

"No need to say thank you, just finish the job."

Guo Zongyi left these words and left without looking back.

"I respectfully see you off, Your Highness!" Xue Ju was shouting from behind.

"Long-worded."

Guo Zongyi murmured with a smile on his face.

He stayed in the camp until evening, and saw that the registration, resettlement, food and drink, and medical treatment of the refugees were gradually in order. Guo Zongyi felt relieved and led his surroundings back home.

But before he could step through the door of the mansion, he was stopped by the messenger who was chasing him, bringing bad news.
