Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 189 The ambition to be trapped in the battle is ‘high and shun’

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne and started today's sign-in.

Since he became the emperor of Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chen's biggest feeling in the past two months or so has been the lack of people.

No, to be more precise, it was the civil servants and military officers who lacked enough trust.

Although, Zhou Chen is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has hundreds of civil and military officials in the court who can be controlled by Zhou Chen.

But among the civil and military officials, how many can Zhou Chen really trust?

Even loyal ministers and veteran generals such as the Minister of War and Wei Wuhou, Zhou Chen could not completely trust them.

Because, in the final analysis, loyal ministers and veteran generals such as the Minister of War and Wei Wuhou were loyal to Da Zhou, not Zhou Chen.

To put it bluntly, if it were not Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon throne, the Minister of War and other loyal ministers and veterans would still be loyal to the king.

There won't be any changes depending on who the emperor is on the dragon throne.

"Sign in."

Zhou Chen thought silently in his heart.

Now Wen has Fang Xuanling, Xun Yu and four others, and Wu has Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and several others.

This seems to be considered civil and military, and there are many talents.

But this talent is still a drop in the bucket for the entire Da Zhou.

Especially in terms of generals, after Zhou Chen captured the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, he would need military generals to take charge of Northern Xinjiang and Xiliang.

Therefore, Zhou Chen hopes to sign one or two generals in the next few days.

In this way, there will be no shortage of generals.

【Ding…….】

【Sign in successfully.】

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the allegiance of the character Gao Shun.]

Gao Shun?

Is that general who is determined to be trapped in the battle dead or alive?

Zhou Chen was shocked.

It really comes down to whatever comes to mind.

Zhou Chen hoped to sign one or two military generals, and he actually signed one general.

Zhou Chen still knew a thing or two about Gao Shun, an outstanding figure.

Gao Shun may not be as powerful as Lu Bu in terms of military force, and he may not be as powerful as Zhang Liao in general, but Gao Shun's ability to train troops is outstanding.

With seven hundred men under his command, he can be said to be invincible in every attack and invincible in every battle.

Especially Gao Shun's loyalty is both admirable and pity.

Although he was loyal, he could not be reused. This may be the tragedy of Gao Shun's life.

A majestic figure wearing armor appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

"General Gao Shun has met your Majesty." As soon as Gao Shun appeared, he knelt down and saluted Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Zhou Chen looked at Gao Shun and said, "General Gao, no need to be polite, get up!"

I have to say that the feeling Gao Shun gave Zhou Chen was very different from the feeling Lu Bu and Zhang Liao gave Zhou Chen.

If Lu Bu and Zhang Liao gave Zhou Chen the feeling of being wild and domineering, then Gao Shun gave Zhou Chen the feeling of being innocent and rigorous.

No wonder the Seven Hundred Formation can attack everything and win every battle.

Based on the feeling of innocence and rigor that Gao Shun gave Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen could imagine that Gao Shun must be quite strict in governing the army.

In fact, Gao Shunzhi's army was indeed very strict.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Gao Shun was definitely among the best when it came to exercising strict military management.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Shun stood up.

Zhou Chen looked at Gao Shun and nodded slightly.

Although Gao Shun is not a commander-in-chief who can take charge of one side, he is considered a rare talent among generals.

Regardless of whether he is a commander or running an army and training troops, he is not weak.

Of course, Gao Shun's martial arts strength has also reached the early stage of Grand Master. Among the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is also a figure who can dominate one place.

"Gao Shun, now is the time to employ people."

"You immediately go to the Shenwuwei camp outside the city to find General Lu Bu, and follow General Lu and the others to set off for Northern Xinjiang!"

Zhou Chen said with an order.

In order to be able to capture the two Marquises of Zhenbei and Xiliang, and completely solve the problems of Northern Xinjiang and Xiliang.

Zhou Chen not only sent Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, to Northern Xinjiang to announce the decree, but also sent Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and patron king Zhou Zhan to Northern Xinjiang together.

After all, after capturing the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, a general is needed to take over the Zhenbei Army and Xiliang Army and take charge of Northern Xinjiang and Xiliang.

The only generals Zhou Chen can rely on now are Zhang Liao and Lu Bu.

Now that Gao Shun has signed in, Zhou Chen will ask Gao Shun to go to Beijiang as well.

Because, after taking down the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, the Zhenbei Army and the Xiliang Army must be cleaned up.

By then, both the Zhenbei Army and the Xiliang Army will be short of generals.

"The general will obey the decree."

Gao Shun bowed and accepted the order.

Zhou Chen waved his hand and asked a factory guard to take Gao Shun away.

Watching Gao Shun's leaving figure, Zhou Chen felt helpless.

Zhou Chen didn't expect that after Lu Bu was signed out, the generals signed in later were all the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command.

I don’t know what kind of urine this system is.

Now, Gao Shun has also signed in. The generals under Lu Bu have basically signed in. Other generals should be able to sign in next time!

Zhou Chen thought secretly in his heart.

…

The gate of Luoyang City.

One baggage carriage after another slowly walked out of the city gate.

There were thousands of soldiers and horses escorting him all around.

These baggage vehicles are full of pay silver, which is the military pay of the Zhenbei Army and the Xiliang Army.

Previously, Zhou Chen only paid half of the military pay to the Zhenbei Army and Xiliang Army.

Zhou Chen temporarily withheld the other half of the military pay for the Zhenbei Army and the Xiliang Army.

Now, Zhou Chen asked Cao Zhengchun to take the other half of the Zhenbei Army and Xiliang Army to Northern Xinjiang to declare the decree.

Cao Zhengchun rode out of the gate of Luoyang City, escorted half of the Zhenbei Army and Xiliang Army, and headed towards Northern Xinjiang.

…

at the same time.

Nanying Shenwuwei Military Camp.

Groups of Shenwu guards quietly left the military camp, and under the leadership of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, patron Wang Zhou Zhan, and Gao Shun, they secretly headed towards northern Xinjiang.

Zhou Chen knew that after taking down the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, if he wanted to truly take over the Zhenbei Army, just relying on a few generals like Lu Bu and Zhang Liao would not be enough.

It requires the cooperation of soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Zhou Chen specially mobilized one of the twelve Shenwu Guards to accompany Lu Bu and others to Northern Xinjiang secretly.

This one of the twelve Shenwu Guards is not only a deterrent to the Zhenbei Army, but also a piece of insurance for Zhou Chen, just in case.

Soon, Lu Bu and several other generals, along with the Shenwu Guards, disappeared at the end of the military camp outside Luoyang City.

No one inside or outside the entire court knew that one of the Shenwu Guards had been transferred out of Luoyang.

Even the Minister of War, Zhou Xian, the Eight Sage King, and other important officials summoned by Zhou Chen did not know about the mobilization of the Shenwu Guards.

Regarding the real plan to capture the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Xiliang, Zhou Chen kept the secret to the utmost.

It's not that Zhou Chen doesn't believe in the Minister of War and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian.

But Zhou Chen knew the importance of resolving the issues in Northern Xinjiang and Xiliang this time.

If something goes wrong, the consequences will be huge.

Therefore, Zhou Chen only knew about the real arrangement to a few Lu Bu and his close associates.

After all, the less one knows, the less risk there is.

…

Northern Xinjiang.

Zhenbeicheng.

Dongchang dark spot.

Jia Xu's eyes lit up as he looked at the message on the note in his hand.

This news just came from Luoyang.

There is not much content, only a few words.

But just these few words made Jia Xu, the poisonous man's face shine with a glimmer of light.

"His Majesty has also sent the patron king to Northern Xinjiang, so he will be more sure of solving the problem of the Zhenbei Army."

Jia Xu looked at the message on the note and thought to himself.

You must know that the patron king is no ordinary person. He is a veteran of three dynasties and one of the two pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With the patron king's prestige and influence in the army, it should not be difficult for the patron king to come forward and stabilize the Zhenbei army after the Zhenbei Marquis is captured.

Originally, Jia Xu was still having some trouble with this issue.

Although Jia Xu has pried open the iron barrel of Zhenbei Hou Mansion from the inside, no one can guarantee that there will be no such eventuality afterwards.

Now, with the support of King Zhou Zhan, a veteran of three dynasties, it is much safer.

"His Majesty is still thoughtful."

Jia Xu sighed inwardly and put away the note in his hand.

At this moment, a factory guard walked in with an ugly look on his face.

"Mr. Jia, we were watching the remnants of the Fan family and were discovered by the secret guards of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion."

"Moreover, many of our other manpower in Zhenbei City were also dug out by the secret guards of Zhenbei Hou Mansion."

"So far, more than ten people have died at the hands of the secret guards of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion."

The factory guard said in a deep voice.

Because of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Dongchang deployed a lot of manpower in Zhenbei City.

But more than ten people died at once, and the force deployed by Dongchang in Zhenbeicheng still hurt his vitality.

Jia Xu's expression did not change at all when he heard the factory guard's words; "It's as expected, this Zhenbei City is the headquarters of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion after all."

"Zhenbeihou Mansion has been operating here for several generations. If you couldn't dig out some of your Dong Factory's manpower in Zhenbei City, Zhenbeihou Mansion would have been devoured long ago and all the dregs would be left."

"Besides, the Marquis of Zhenbei deliberately used the remnants of the Fan family as bait to attract the people of your Dongchang."

Jia Xu seemed to have expected this a long time ago and said without any surprise.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Who is Jia Xu?

This is the poisonous king who lives in the dark.

The Marquis of Zhenbei used the remnants of the Fan family as bait to lure Dongchang. How could he hide this from Jia Xu, a poisonous man?

The factory guard's face darkened when he heard this: "Mr. Jia, since you already knew this, why didn't you tell us?"

"If you had told us earlier, our Dong Factory wouldn't have lost more than ten people in one fell swoop."

The factory guard was very dissatisfied with Jia Xu.

Since Jia Xu already knew this, he wouldn't have told them earlier.

As a result, their East Factory lost more than ten manpower in vain.

Jia Xu glanced at the factory guard calmly: "How can you paralyze the Zhenbei Hou Mansion without killing a few people? Do you want the Zhenbei Marquis to know that the imperial court has sent someone who can see his methods to Zhenbei City?"

Jia Xu said calmly.

It's not that Jia Xu doesn't want to remind the factory guards, it's that Jia Xu can't.

Because once Jia Xu alerts the factory guards, he may expose himself.

You must know that the Zhenbei Marquis is in charge of hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei troops and is majestic in Northern Xinjiang. He is not an ordinary figure.

Definitely no worse than those old foxes in the court.

Once a flaw is revealed and Zhenbeihou catches it, it may make Zhenbeihou alert.

Maybe it will affect their plans.

Besides, if you can use the lives of a few factory guards to achieve your desired goal and paralyze the Marquis of Zhenbei, what's wrong with that!

Hearing Jia Xu's words, the factory guard's face looked a little uncertain.

Jia Xu could ignore the life and death of his fellow workers in the East Factory, but this factory guard could not.

However, the order from above gave them full authority to cooperate with Jia Xu, so even if the factory guard had a lot of dissatisfaction with Jia Xu, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Go and inform your people in the East Factory not to do any activities for the next few days."

"Also, send a message to Cao Xing and the others and let them start preparations!"

Jia Xu said nothing more, glanced at the factory guard and said calmly.

"yes."

The factory guard said nothing more, responded, turned and left.

…

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

When Jia Xu received the news, Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, also received the news that the imperial court sent people to escort the other half of the military pay owed to their Zhenbei army towards northern Xinjiang.

However, what made Xue Shaowen frown was that the person escorting the military pay this time was not an ordinary person.

It was Cao Zhengchun, the great governor of Dongchang who was a close confidant in the palace.

Xue Shaowen had already heard about who Cao Zhengchun was.

It can be said that this Cao Zhengchun is a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor in the palace.

He commanded the Dongchang Factory Guards, and he could kill common people and officials, and capture noble officials and officials.

General Wu Jin, the former Minister of Hubu, and the Minister of Libu were all captured by the governor of Dongchang.

The most important thing is that Cao Zhengchun is still a strong man who is half-step to heaven.

It is not good news for such a ruthless person to come to Northern Xinjiang.

"What does the emperor in the palace want to do?"

"Could it be that Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory and a strong man who is half a step above heaven, is sent to Northern Xinjiang simply to escort these troops who are in arrears with the salary of the Zhenbei Army?"

"Also, why did the man in the palace withhold half of the Zhenbei Army's military salary before, and suddenly want to pay half of the military salary to the Zhenbei Army now?"

Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, frowned and thought about these questions.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.

Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, did not believe that the emperor in the palace would be so kind as to send half of the military salary owed to the Zhenbei Army to Northern Xinjiang if he did not understand the situation of the Zhenbei Army.

Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, didn't believe it even more. The man in the palace sent Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, to Northern Xinjiang just to escort the military pay.

You know, this small amount of military pay is not worth sending a strong man with half a step of heaven to escort him all the way.

"It seems that Cao Zhengchun's purpose in coming to Northern Xinjiang is not simple."

"You have to be careful now and make more preparations."

Zhenbei Hou Xue Shaowen's eyes flickered, he put down the message in his hand, and shouted to the door: "Here comes someone."

"Master Hou."

The housekeeper of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion came in.

"Go and notify Fan Shaohe that I want to see him."

Xue Shaowen said to the housekeeper.

Xue Shaowen has not seen Fan Shaohe since he last met him.

Instead, Fan Shaohe was temporarily left in Zhenbeicheng.

Moreover, Xue Shaowen also used Shao Fan and the fugitive from the Fan family as bait to dig out the secrets of Dongchang.

It has to be said that Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, also has good methods.

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

The butler turned and left.

After the housekeeper left, Xue Shaowen pondered for a moment: "An Yi, send more people to me to keep an eye on the generals in the army."

"If there is any unusual movement, please report it to me immediately."

Xue Shaowen understands that fortresses are often breached from within.

Therefore, although these generals in the army are Xue Shaowen's cronies.

However, Xue Shaowen still secretly sent people to monitor these generals in the army.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.

Even the most trusted person must have precautions.

This is the rule for Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, to survive.

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Don't see the person, just listen to the sound.

A black shadow disappeared beside Xue Shaowen.
