The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 164
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Chonghuan was sitting behind Shuai An looking through the piles of account books in front of him. Looking at it, the anger on his face became more and more intense, and finally he was so angry that he slapped Shuai An angrily and said: :
"These scum moths really deserve to be killed! Drinking the blood of soldiers has reached such a frenzied point. The nominal 3 frontier troops actually only have more than [-] people, and they have eaten nearly [-] empty wages. How can this Liaodong If it is not corrupt, how can Donglu not be rampant!"

A black face darkened by great rage.In fact, this is the second time he has read these ledgers, but he is still outraged every time he reads them.

What Yuan Chonghuan hated the most in his life were these corrupt officials, and now that he was in power and the emperor had the sword in his hand, he didn't hesitate to kill people.

He had actually dealt with a large number of these generals and officials who had paid nothing and drank the blood of soldiers, and most of them had their heads chopped off.For a period of time, Caishikou in Datong City has set up execution grounds almost every day, and often several heads are chopped off.

Almost half of the generals above the middle level in the entire frontier army have been replaced.Even Li Yongnian, the former general of Datong, was demoted because of lax control and became the general of a small sub-town.

Yuan Chonghuan's thunderbolt method made everyone in the generals of the Datong frontier army uneasy, but the soldiers below applauded.

Moreover, there are [-] elite troops brought by Yuan Chonghuan from the pass, and even some people who are unwilling to be slaughtered can't afford to make big waves.

Therefore, in just two months, Yuan Chonghuan had almost completely mastered the command of the frontier army, and no one could shake his position anymore.

As for how many people really admire him, I don't know.But it can be said that everyone is afraid of him, his bloody methods make everyone shudder, and there is only fear and no respect for this Governor Yuan.

But Yuan Chonghuan himself doesn't care about these things, what he wants is the result, as long as you are afraid of me, you have to obey my orders, so that my five-year pacification of Liao Dynasty can be realized.

At this moment, Cao Bianjiao and Hong Chengchou walked in hand in hand, looking at Yuan Chonghuan's black face, the two looked at each other, knowing that Governor Yuan had lost his temper again.

When Yuan Chonghuan heard the footsteps, he knew it was his two confidantes. After all, no one except these two dared to enter and exit the Chinese army camp so freely.

"How is it outside? Did someone jump out?" Yuan Chonghuan asked looking up.

"My lord, we have the emperor's sword in hand, and we have [-] elite soldiers in the formation. We don't have the guts to dare to make troubles against those bastards, or I, Lao Cao, will be the first to kill him." Cao Bianjiao said loudly.

Yuan Chonghuan turned his attention to Hong Chengchou again, and Hong Chengchou said: "Reporting to my lord, the situation is still relatively calm. Even some late generals who may make trouble are still being watched. If there is any change, we can suppress it at any time."

Yuan Chonghuan showed admiring eyes, and waved his hand to signal the two to sit down and talk.

After the two sat down, Hong Chengchou said seriously, "Master Supervisor, although the army is temporarily calm, there is an undercurrent surging in the city of Datong."

Yuan Chonghuan frowned: "Let's listen carefully."

"I heard a lot of people talking about the Jiang family's army today. I was surprised. So I sent someone to inquire and found out that the streets and alleys of Datong City are talking about the Jiang family's army these days. According to the investigation, I found that, It seems that seven days ago, through the mouths of dozens of storytellers in the city, they began to tell the story of the Jiang family army in various restaurants and teahouses in the city at the same time. Only then can these stupid people and stupid women talk about it, and many people are clamoring to find this bandit army to join the army."

Hong Chengchou roughly said what he knew.

Yuan Chonghuan frowned, thinking about the things behind this incident, and said after a while: "Heng Jiu, in your opinion, what is the purpose of the thief chief surnamed Jiang sending people to spread these rumors?"

"The general thinks that this is Jiang's demagogy. He wants to use this shameless rumor to encourage more people to take refuge in him, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening himself and weakening us." Hong Chengchou blurted out, apparently well prepared.

"Then according to Hengjiu, is it effective for him to do so?" Yuan Chonghuan nodded and asked.

"The general thinks that this kid surnamed Jiang is arrogant and arrogant. He thinks highly of himself, but he looks down on others for no reason. This kind of trick is just to deceive those foolish men and women, and it is nothing to worry about. But it cannot be allowed to continue Spread the word, so as not to grow the spirit of the bandit army and destroy the prestige of our army." Hong Chengchou said confidently and calmly.

"Then how do you think to stop the rumors from continuing to spread?" Yuan Chonghuan showed a gratified smile on his face. Obviously, Hong Chengchou's words won his favor, so he continued to ask.

"Master Supervisor, what's the difficulty? The general is willing to lead a team to arrest all those who spread rumors and build up momentum for the Jiang thief, and the rumors will naturally stop." Before Hong Chengchou could answer, Cao Bianjiao began to talk. shouted loudly.

"Old Cao, don't be so reckless. This is not a good job, so why bother to tarnish our own name. We don't do it, but some people are very suitable to do it, because they don't need to pay attention to their reputation at all. " Hong Chengchou shook his head and said to Cao Bianjiao with a smile.

Although Cao Bianjiao looked carefree on the surface, he was not a brainless person, otherwise he would not have been trusted by Yuan Chonghuan as his confidant and brought him to the front line of Liaodong from the Central Plains.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood Hong Chengchou's words.The common people just said a few words, and then dispatched soldiers and horses to arrest people all over the city, which would inevitably cause panic and infamy, and would also affect Yuan Chonghuan's prestige and reputation, so this matter is not suitable for the army to do.

The frontier army is not suitable for this kind of thing, and the government of Datong is not suitable for this kind of thing. After all, civilian officials cherish reputation more than generals.

So after much deliberation, the only person who is most suitable for such thankless dirty work is the Jinyiwei in Datong City.

Although Jin Yiwei is nominally directly under the emperor's personal command, Yuan Chonghuan, as the governor of Liaodong, naturally has the right to arrange Jin Yiwei to do some things.

After all, today's Jinyiwei is no longer the Jinyiwei of the past.

"Okay, Heng Jiu has considered it very carefully. It is indeed not appropriate for us to come forward in this matter. The Jinyiwei has long been notorious, and another notoriety will not be a problem. The governor will send someone to the Jinyiwei Thousand Households to deliver an order, so that the Jinyiwei must be there. Stop the spread of rumors within three days."

Yuan Chonghuan nodded, agreeing to Hong Chengchou's attention, and immediately ordered someone to go to Jinyi Qianhu Shen Lian to deliver the order.

With Shen Lian's level, coupled with his status as Jin Yiwei, Yuan Chonghuan, a self-esteemed civil servant, would not want to deal with him unless it was absolutely necessary.

　The first one arrives.
