Returning to the Xunjiang Prison, Liu Zhong came to Yang Anxuan with an angry look on his face and said angrily: "Zhou You is bullying others too much."
Yang Anxuan pushed Liu Zhong to sit on the table and said, "Brother Liu, don't be impatient. Sit down and speak slowly."
"Didn't we recruit more than 200 new soldiers? Yu wanted to put them to use earlier, so he discussed with Zhou You and asked his subordinates to help train these new soldiers."
Liu Zhong took the tea from Yang Anxuan and continued angrily: "Zhou Youtui said that he was too busy and had no time, and he also mocked that tigers can't get along with pigs and dogs."
Yang Anxuan frowned. Zhou You relied on his origins in the Left Guard Army and it was reasonable to look down on the new recruits. However, he could not allow the old and new to confront each other in the Xunjiang Prison.
Liu Zhong lowered his head to drink tea, and his mood became calm. He had a vague sense of trust in Yang Anxuan, and it seemed that the problem could be solved by leaving it to him.
Yang Anxuan recalled the experience of his previous life in his mind, and how the army dealt with conflicts between newcomers and veterans. Unfortunately, he knew very little about this aspect, and he had the feeling that he would only learn something once he has put it to use.
While drinking tea and thinking, Yang Anxuan gradually came up with some ideas. He was the supervisor of the Jiangjiang Patrol and General Fubo. No matter how arrogant Zhou You was, he had to obey his orders.
Disorganize new veterans and reorganize them into teams, and select available talents through competitions to serve as commanders and corps commanders, forming a relatively fair promotion mechanism...
As for Zhou You, when Zhu Lingshi comes to visit, he will use the tiger skin as a banner, not afraid that he will not obey orders. If Zhou Youzhen is ignorant, as a Shangguan, I have a way to deal with him.
Yang Anxuan asked Liu Zhong to go back and organize the recruits to practice water skills first, and then disrupt the organization and reorganize the team. Liu Zhong got the truth and got up to leave.
As Yang Anxuan expected, two days later Zhu Lingshi and several entourage rode to Yihe Town to visit Yang Anxuan.
Yang Anxuan took him to visit the Xunjiang Prison. Zhou You couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Zhu Lingshi joking with Yang Anxuan.
Zhu Lingshi, who joined the Fu army and was regarded as a brother by General Huan, was so familiar with General Yang?
During this period of time, I secretly competed with Liu Zhong and disobeyed military orders. I thought that these people like me were members of the Left Guard Army and would still be able to return to the army after a while. What General Yang could do to me, it seemed not that simple now.
When Zhu Lingshi saw Zhou You, he greeted with a smile: "Zhou You, do your best in Xunjiang Prison and don't lose the face of the Zuo Wei Army."
Zhou Youdui smiled and said: "General Zhu, don't worry, I will do my best when I am stupid."
Yang Anxuan pointed at Liu Zhong and said: "You plan to divide the river patrol into two groups, commanded by Zhou Xiaowei and Liu Xiaowei. Disorganize and reorganize the navy brought by Zhou Xiaowei and the newly recruited soldiers. Let's take a look at each school in half a month. Who practices better?"
Zhu Lingshi agreed: "In military exercises, winning or losing is determined. Zhou You, you are a veteran, don't let Liu Xiaowei compare you."
Zhou You felt bitter in his heart. Didn't this reflect Liu Zhong's wishes? General Yang and Liu Zhong have a close relationship, so if they are divided into two songs, they have the same starting point.
He glanced at Liu Zhong, he had been in the army for many years, and he was still afraid of this young boy. Zhou You said proudly: "Don't worry, General Zhu. If you lose to Liu Xiaowei, I will cut off your head."
Liu Zhong sneered from the side and said: "Captain Zhou, don't talk too much, be careful if you lose, your life will be at risk."
The smell of gunpowder was full, Yang Anxuan hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Victory and defeat are common things for soldiers. When the Jiangjiang Supervisor was first built, the court gave 500 troops. In addition to several captains, chiefs, and corps commanders brought by Captain Zhou, there were also There are many vacancies including ministers and military princes. Yu plans to select capable people in the army and appoint them. When the time comes, I will ask Brother Zhu to be a witness."
Zhou You's eyes lit up. The people he brought were all veterans. According to what Yang Anxuan said, these people could almost become junior officers in the army. By then, the Jiangjiang Supervisor would actually be the one to make the decision himself.
Zhu Lingshi readily agreed and said to Liu Zhong: "Liu Lieutenant, I heard from Brother Yang that your archery skills are excellent, so I would like to ask you for advice."
After seeing Liu Zhong's exquisite archery skills, Zhou You felt secretly in his heart. Originally, he didn't take Liu Zhong to heart, but now it seems that he really needs to be more careful. Don't let the big words get out, so as not to end it later.
When Zhou You came forward to disrupt the formation, things went smoothly. The hundred soldiers of the Left Guard regrouped with the newly recruited soldiers, forming a situation where the old led the new.
The three hundred and sixty people were divided into two songs, with Zhou You and Liu Zhong each leading one. The positions of village chief, captain, chief and corps commander are all temporary. Yang Anxuan said that the final appointment was based on merit, and everyone had a chance.
Zhou Youjun originally had two captains, ten commanders, and twenty corps commanders. After this rearrangement, they became temporary. Of course, he was dissatisfied.
Zhou You persuaded, you are all good men in the army, much better than those recruits, you just have the opportunity to move up, the captain becomes the commander of the village, and the commander becomes the captain, wouldn't it be even better?
Ordinary soldiers are paid two dan per month, captains are paid two dan and two dou, captains are paid two and a half dan, captains are paid three shi, and camp leaders are paid four shi. The higher you go, the higher the military salary will be in the open, not to mention the secret benefits.
Yang Anxuan's words excited everyone's blood. Every day at Mao hour, the sound of drills could be heard in the water village. Who didn't want to take this opportunity to get promoted.
Zhou You took it seriously and took his soldiers and horses to patrol the river every day. Liu Zhong was not to be outdone, and he and Yu Yi took people to sail the river for training.
The Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and the ships on the river are busier than usual. The river patrol boats are patrolling the river. In addition, the destruction of Zhushuiyan a few days ago has greatly frightened the river thieves, and the river is much calmer than in previous years.
Merchants are most impressed by the tranquility on the river. In previous years, there were so many thieves on the river at this time, so they would inevitably spend money to ward off troubles.
The Jiangsu Supervisor stepped up patrols and escorts on the river. There were no traces of the river thieves, and merchant ships came and went smoothly, with two more trips than in previous years.
The Xunjiang Yamen receives thank-you gifts from merchant ships every day, which averages five to six hundred dollars and various other things.
The money was used by Yang Anxuan to ask officials to buy pork, fish and other meat foods so that the soldiers could improve their food. He divided the things that were delivered to him, and the soldiers practiced even more vigorously.
On the first day of December, the first martial arts competition in the Xunjiang camp began. Yang Anxuan boarded Mengyou to watch the martial arts performances of Zhou You and Liu Zhong.
As expected, Zhou Yu's troops won.
After the drill, Zhou You came to see Yang Anxuan proudly.
According to Yang Anxuan's agreement, the winning party Zhou You got the right to appoint two chiefs and five corps chiefs. As for the appointment of captain or above, Yang Anxuan made it clear that appointments should be based on military merit.
Liu Zhong said angrily: "General Yang, this is unfair. Captain Zhou is from the navy and is familiar with water drills. Of course he is not as stupid as him. He should be given more time."
Yang Anxuan said: "Captain Zhou is familiar with water warfare, and he already has the upper hand. There is nothing unfair in selecting the best among the army. Know your shame and then be brave. Captain Liu, you have to work harder."
When Zhou You heard Yang Anxuan admonishing Liu Zhong, he mocked: "Liu Xiaowei, it's a pity that those athletes who follow you will have no chance to stand out."
Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "Who said they have no chance. Yu Zheng wants to separate with the two of them. After the competition, the two of them can each bring five people to change their headquarters, and the competition will resume in twenty days."
Zhou You's smile froze. He was guarding Liu Zhong from stealing lessons when he was practicing the song. If he changed his troops, wouldn't Liu Zhong know about his techniques?
Liu Zhong was overjoyed, bowed and saluted and said: "General, I will obey your order."

When Yu conquered the nine states, Jingzhou began to exist. Jingzhou's strategic location is very important. It can reach Luoyang in the northeast, Chang'an in the northwest, block Bashu in the west, and straddle the capital in the east. It is the thoroughfare of the world and the seat of governance is Jiangling.
Since Wang Dun, Tao Kan, Yu Liang, Yu Yi and others served as governors of Jingzhou, and Jingzhou gradually became a place for power officials to compete for power. In August of the first year of Yonghe (345), Huan Wen took control of Jingzhou, and Jingzhou gradually became the base of the Huan family.
After Huan Wen passed away, his younger brother Huan Huo took over; after Huan Huo passed away, his younger brother Huan Chong took over; after Huan Chong passed away, Huan Huo's son Huan Shimin took over. In the 14th year of Taiyuan (389), Huan Shimin passed away, and since Huan Wen He served as the governor of Jingzhou until the death of Huanshi people. The Huan family has been cultivating in Jingzhou for forty-five years, showing kindness and kindness, and is deeply supported by the people of Jingzhou.
After Huan Shimin died and Huan Xuan was young, Sima Yao appointed Wang Chen to take over as the governor of Jingzhou. Wang Chen is the younger brother of Wang Guobao.
After Wang Chen took office, he vigorously suppressed Huan Xuan and weakened the influence of the Huan family. Huan Xuan was very dissatisfied.
When Wang Chen died in the 17th year of Taiyuan, Sima Yao intended to appoint Wang Gong as the governor of Jingzhou. Huan Xuan was greatly frightened. He knew that Wang Gong was upright and upright and would definitely be detrimental to the Huan family after he took office.
So Huanxuan bribed Nizhi Miaoyin to advise the emperor, and made Yin Zhongkan, a "weak talent" who was not familiar with martial arts, the governor of Jingzhou.
Yin Zhongkan knew that he could not govern Jingzhou well without the help of the Huan family, so he deliberately made friends with Huan Xuan for help. However, Huan Xuan became more and more tyrannical and even used halberds in the governor's house. hatred.
After handling official duties, Yin Zhongkan returned to the study, took out a letter from the stack of books, and looked at it carefully again.
The letter was written by Wang Gong, the governor of Qinggun. The letter described how after the death of Emperor Xiaowu, the king of Kuaiji in Beijing appointed Wang Guobao to control the government. Wang Xun, Wang Ya and other veterans of the previous dynasty were sidelined. His repeated advice to the king of Kuaiji fell on deaf ears. .
In his letter, Wang Gong said with concern, "...the sorrow of being foolish and fearful is not far away."
Yin Zhongkan's single eye (1) flashed with worry, he put down the letter and sighed. Thinking of Emperor Xiaowu's trust in him, the emperor was only in his thirties, how could it suddenly collapse?
Not daring to think about it further, Wang Gong suggested in the letter that he recruit Longxiang General Yang Quan, who was serving as an official, as his assistant, so that he could use the land outside the town to compete with the imperial court, and at the same time restrain the Huan family.
Thinking of Huan Xuan, Yin Zhongkan showed a look of resentment. In order to take advantage of the power of the Huan family, he made a voluntary friendship with Huan Xuan, the Duke of Nanjun. On the surface, Huan Xuan was on good terms with him, but in fact he didn't take him seriously at all, and he was arrogant and domineering. .
He jumped on his horse and waved his sword in front of the governor's mansion, and even pointed his long sword at his own throat, which was extremely rude and made him lose all face.
Liu Mai, who joined the army, couldn't stand it and criticized Huan Xuan a few words. Huan Xuan looked at him angrily and murderously.
After Huan Xuan left in anger, he persuaded Liu Mai to escape quickly. Huan Xuan indeed sent someone to assassinate Liu Mai. If Liu Mai hadn't acted quickly, he would have died under the assassin's knife.
Yang Quanqi and Yin Zhongkan had a sneer on their lips. The Yang family of Hongnong had fallen into decline, but they thought highly of themselves. They offended the King of Kuaiji first, and then became enemies with the Wang family of Taiyuan. They heard that they were also at odds with the Wang family of Langya, so they had to resign due to illness. .
After Yin Zhongkan learned that Yang Quanqi had become an official, his family moved to Baling, purchased land and a house, and intended to settle in Baling.
Reaching out to stroke his beard, Yin Zhongkan thought with a smile: Could it be that Yang Quanqi moved his family to Jingzhou intentionally to take him under his wing? The Yang family army is a brave warrior, and if he can be taken under his command, he can indeed use it to fight against Huan Xuan.
Speaking of which, he had some friendship with Yang Quanqi. After Yang Quanqi was defeated in Luoyang, he even asked the emperor to intercede on his behalf. Afterwards, Yang Quanqi sent someone to send a gift to express his gratitude.
The Yang family was in dire straits at this time, so the icing on the cake was like providing help in the snow, so Yu wrote a memorial asking the court to appoint Yang Quanqi as the Sima of Jingzhou.
When he picked up the pen, Yin Zhongkan did not write a memorial first, but wrote a letter of solicitation to Yang Quanqi in an emotional tone.
Favors must be made clear and make Yang Quanqi grateful, so that they can be used for oneself.
