Chapter 62, Chaos and sealed

After grooming, Zu Zhao came to the council hall and invited all the generals to come to assist Huangfu Song to discuss in advance. Zhang Yuan is still guarding the border. Because the northern barbarians always want to invade Liaodong, they have to take precautions. They don't want to attack the city and plunder the land, but take advantage of the autumn harvest to grab some food to kill some border people and escape. There is nothing they can do about them. That is, there are troops guarding the border, and they often rush to grab things.

And Zhang Yu and Zu Ping also came to the county government to gather at this moment. Previously, they were responsible for training the army. Zu Zhao asked them to come back to the army earlier to prepare to assist Huangfu Song. However, as for who to send, Zu Zhao also hesitated in his heart. After all, it is a battlefield, and no one can say what will happen. These are his own favorite generals. If something happens, it will be really tragic.

"General, let me go. After returning to the general, I haven't made any contributions. This time when I have the opportunity, it's naturally my turn to go. While talking, a man came out, and everyone saw that this person was Zhao Meng, who had returned from Zhao Ci before.

"No, I have to go this time." One of them immediately came out to fight. It turned out to be Zhao Qi.

Zhang foresaw that two people he didn't know were fighting like this, and he was immediately unhappy. He came out and said, "General, I think I'm the most suitable candidate. I've been training the army. This regular army has not participated in any formal war. It's time to take them to the battlefield to have a look. I'll train. Naturally, I took them there.

Zhao Meng was not happy to hear this and retorted, "General Zhang said so, does it mean that we have no choice but to lead the troops?"

Zhang Yu glanced at Zhao Meng coldly and said, "I didn't say that, but the army I brought out naturally had to command them to the battlefield. Moreover, General Zhao, you have just come to the war before. You should take a break and don't be in such a hurry to attack.

"Don't you know that you were born with worries and died of happiness? Now is the time for me to contribute. General Zhang, don't forget that there are still many troops waiting to be trained in the rear. Since General Zhang is training the army, he should stay and continue to train the army. As for the matter of leading troops to attack, it is naturally up to me. Zhao Meng said.

Zhang Yu immediately said, "General Zhao's words are wrong. I should lead the troops to attack, and you should stay to help train the army."

Several people couldn't argue, and they were driven by a big blush and thick neck and wanted to go out for a fight. Zu Zhao looked at his displeament and roared loudly, "Stop it." What are you doing? I came to you for discussion, not to quarrel. What I need is a united army, an army that is regarded as brothers and sisters to each other, but look at yourself, what you say, you actually go out to compete in order to fight for merit. The sword is eyeless and ruthless. What if anyone accidentally hurts who can it happens? Stop talking. Whoever is quarreling will be dealt with by military law.

When Zu Zhao was angry, everyone stopped and stood obediently and stopped arguing, but his face was very unconvinced by the other party and felt that it was time to lead his troops to attack. Zu Zhao glanced at them and asked the military Su De, "What do you think of the military division? Who do you think is the most suitable to go on an expedition?"

Su De smiled leisurely and slowly got up and said, "I think the thief army is powerful this time, and there are less than 10,000 troops available to Lord Jizhou Huangfu, and the army we can dispatch is naturally less than 10,000. That is to say, after the battlefield, more than 10,000 troops will face 40,000 to 50,000 enemies, in this situation of great power gap, must have a wise and brave general to win more with less. I heard that General Zhang Yuan, who guarded the border, was brave and resourceful. He could advance and take the enemy's head and return to the safety of the army. I think General Zhang Yuan is the best candidate. Why don't you recruit him back?

Zhu Zhao said, "What the military said is true, so I will recruit Zhang Yuan to come back and send someone to accept the border matters."

Su De smiled and said quietly, "But the border matters are also very important. General Zhang Yuan fell back, and there must be brave and resourceful people to guard there. Instead of going from the south to the north, it's better to choose one here directly. However, I think the generals' previous performance was very calm. You are all brave and wise people, not ordinary reckless men, but you can't control your temper. I know that you don't want to fight for merit, but just want to do your best, but in the eyes of the enemy, this is to fight for merit, which is easy to get into the enemy's plan, so I think we still have to find General Zhang Yuan.

Several generals listened to Su De's words. Although they had something to refute him in their hearts, they didn't know what to say for a while. Su De had already said that they were also brave people, but they couldn't control their temper and watched their previous performance. They were indeed a little impatient. What Su De was right.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Military, do you think it's suitable for me to go?"

When everyone saw it, it was Chen Youzhi who spoke. He had been silent before, but was ignored by everyone. Now when they saw him talking, they all looked at him and looked at Su De, wanting to see what Su De said.

Su De said, "If you are willing to go, it's naturally the best." Unexpectedly, he agreed. Just as everyone was surprised, Su De continued: "However, this dispatch of troops is related to my prestige in Liaodong. If this battle is well fought, it is a deterrent for those who want to invade Liaodong. If it fails, the matter will be serious."

Chen Youzhi said, "I am willing to set up a military order and will definitely assist Lord Huangfu to destroy the chaotic party."

"Okay, in that case, then set up a military order." Su De said, causing people to take the military order and let Chen Youzhi set up the military order.

Since it has been confirmed that Chen Youzhi is the commander-in-chief this time, he has to find a vanguard deputy general, and several people can't help arguing. In the end, due to the dispute, everyone drew lots to decide who to go and who to stay. As a result, Zhao Meng and Zu Ping won the lottery, and Zhang Yu stayed in the county government and continued to look for Ma Jun'; Ma Yuan, Han Ye, Zhao Qi and others were responsible for training the army.

In the autumn of 186, Chen Youzhi was the commander-in-chief, Zhao Meng and Zu Ping were the deputy generals, and led 12,000 troops to Yizhou to help Huangfu calm the chaos. After Chen Youzhi and Huangfu Song joined forces, they immediately organized a counterattack. In one day, they captured the enemy's checkpoint camp 12 in a row. Chen Youzhi also single-handedly killed two enemy vanguard generals. For this reason, the army was shocked, and the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and bravely.

In two and a half months, the thieves were defeated and retreated to the Jizhou border fortress, but there were still more than 20,000 troops, and the army of Huangfu Song became evenly matched. In another half month, Chen Youzhi led his troops around and burned the enemy's grain and fodder. The enemy's grain and fodder were poor and withdrew from Jizhou. Huangfu Song's parents and children commanded the army to pursue, and a month later, they completely annihilated the rebels in the field, declaring the end of the rebellion.

In recognition of Huangfu Song's achievements, the court specially appointed him as a bicycle general and Huai Lihou. Huangfu Song was grateful to Zu Zhao for sending reinforcements and reported the military achievements of Chen Youzhi and others under Zu Zhao's subordinates of the imperial court, and all of them were rewarded. After calming down the chaos, Chen Youzhi returned to Liaodong with his army. Because of their outstanding achievements and the county guards of Liaoxi County have never done anything, the court ordered Liaoxi County to be under the jurisdiction of Zu Zhao. Zu Zhao was overjoyed and sent Chen Youzhi to serve in Liaoxi to take charge of Liaoxi County. Since then, Zu Zhao's power has further expanded, and he has also brought various production and construction to Liaoxi.

Due to the disturbance of foreigners and insurgents around from time to time, Zu Zhao took this opportunity to expand his army. In order to calm the surrounding environment, the court also authorized Zu Zhao to send troops to Silla.

In the early spring of 187, Zu Zhao personally led 10,000 troops to Silla. Zhao Meng and Zhang Yuan, as the left and right vanguards, went into the Silla border first, waiting for the arrival of the army, and protected all the whole Yu to enter the border of Silla.

Before entering Silla, Zu Zhao specially ordered that he came to help Quan Zhiyu regain the throne, establish full-line trade cooperation between Silla and Liaodong, drive out other forces, and return the pure land to the people of Silla. Whoever dares to bully the people of Silla, kill them without mercy, disclose intelligence, and kill them without mercy.

The army obeyed, and did not dare to make a second place. Only then did Zu Zhao take the army into Silla. At first, there were some troops resisting, but they could not withstand the attack of the vanguard troops and retreated one after another. However, when they arrived at the capital of Silla, Zu Zhao encountered something unexpected.
