Jinling County Mansion.
Xiao Yuan and Shangguan Wenruo were standing in front of the military map, talking about something.
The main force of the Liang Army now occupies the entire Youzhou.
Under the rule of Youzhou, there were many cities, not just one or two.
The outpost is closed.
According to intelligence, there are about 30,000 Liang troops stationed in the city.
Because it was very important, it had to be guarded by a general, so its chief general was none other than Tang Yue.
With this man's bravery, if Xiao Yuan dares to attack Fengcheng, he will definitely suffer.
How to open this place has become Qin Jun's current problem.
Shangguan Wenruo said: "Although Tang Yue was brave, he was negligent in general strategy. He was also fiery and easily angered. Xue Wu arranged this because he had no choice. We may start from here."
"Well... if we talk about luring the enemy, I'm afraid it won't work. Xue Wu should explain something to Tang Yue." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment.
Just as the two of them were talking about this, Xu Hu stepped in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Master Tian wants to see you."
"Let him come in." Xiao Yuan said without looking back.
Not long after, Professor Tian walked in quickly. After entering, he was naturally greeted with a greeting: "Your Majesty."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuan looked back at him.
Tian Shou's face was very bad, even a little angry, and he said straight to the point: "My lord, after receiving the king's order and temporarily taking over as the governor of Jinling County, I have been working hard to bring order to the Qin Dynasty here. But in the past few days, General Xu Rong has indulged his subordinates. He entered the city at will to disturb the people, and he also behaved arrogantly and domineeringly on many occasions. It was common for him to go to a pub to drink without paying! The people complained to the government, and I asked him to explain, but he was pushed back and perfunctory! "
After saying that, he added: "This kind of behavior is no different from bandits! It is not enough to form an army! I hope your Majesty will be aware of it!"
As the governor of Jinling County, even though he is only temporarily appointed, this is also a reason to be angry under Tian Shu's rule, and he even read a copy of Xu Rong's book on the spot.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but frown.
At the same time, Xu Rong temporarily resided in Jinling City.
In the room, he was changing glasses with several men. Everyone was holding wine bowls against each other from time to time, and they were all blushing.
"Come! Big brother, I'll give you another toast. Without big brother, we wouldn't be where we are today!"
These people are all Xu Rong's old brothers.
"Okay, okay, drink! After all, it's all thanks to Mr. Jia You, and it's also appreciated by the king..."
"The eldest brother is now a general of the Qin Army. He will become more prosperous in the future, but don't forget about me..."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say..."
Xu Rong smiled heartily. His military exploits and rewards made him feel somewhat lifted up. His current status, that of a regular army general, was nothing compared to that of a bandit leader!
Just as they were getting drunk, two soldiers ran in. One of them stepped forward quickly, nodded and bowed: "Brother..."
"Huh?" Xu Rong looked sideways, and there was a young woman standing between the two of them. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth. She was moaning and struggling, with a pair of big watery eyes. , full of fear.
You don't need to ask to know that these are two soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, and they are abducted civilian girls, and they are going to present them to Xu Rong to please her.
Seeing this situation, Xu Rong immediately woke up and stood up and said: "What are you doing! Let this girl go!"
"Huh? Big brother?" The soldier was puzzled, because this was so common in Montenegro in the past.
Xu Rong glared at him fiercely: "Hurry up and go!"
"This...yes, yes!" Seeing that he was really angry, the two soldiers couldn't help being frightened, nodded quickly, and left with the woman.
After he left, one of the drinkers couldn't help but said: "Brother, the younger ones also want to honor you, so why be angry."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Rong said seriously: "Now they are all regular troops! They still think they are horse bandits! Mr. Tian has already come to me today, and I have spent a lot of time with him for you."
"Hey, those civil servants like to make trouble for nothing, and they even get involved in the military..." One person said without caring.
As a general of his headquarters, Xu Rong was already very pampering of his subordinates.
Let's talk about the two soldiers. After they came out, they glanced at each other.
Then, as if tacitly understanding it, he pulled the peasant girl into the woodshed in the corner.
Not long after, the sound of clothes breaking and whimpering sounds of begging for mercy could be heard...
The soldiers' evil deeds were not exposed, and the incident soon came to light.
The next day, on the school field.
More than twenty former members of the Montenegrin Army were kneeling there with their hands tied behind their backs, their heads lowered.
Below, there were many soldiers of the Qin army.
Xiao Yuan was furious at this time.
"Our Qin army always has military orders like mountains!"
"My king has already issued a military order. Soldiers are not allowed to disturb the people at will! They are not allowed to rape or plunder!"
"Such a bad incident happened this time!"
"Enforce military law immediately!"
"cut!"
He gave the order, and the guards on both sides unsheathed their swords without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, the twenty-odd people suddenly panicked and started crying and shouting.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life..."
"The villain was confused for a moment and never dares to do it again..."
Many people had runny noses and tears, but the guards raised their swords high and swung them down fiercely.
The crying stopped suddenly, and more than twenty heads fell to the ground.
Amidst the blood splattering, Xu Rong, who was at the scene, couldn't help but swallowed hard as his Adam's apple slipped.
The military law of the Qin army is unquestionable. A powerful army will become a rabble if it cannot unite its orders and actions.
Taking advantage of this incident, Xiao Yuan once again regained his morale.
After beheading more than twenty people, he also stared at Xu Rong with a faint gaze.
Sensing his gaze, the latter's heart immediately rose to his throat. He knelt down in a hurry and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down..."
Xiao Yuan was still staring at him.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Rong's forehead.
He remembered what Jia You said to him before:
Extreme joy brings sorrow, and your tribe is likely to bring disaster to you.
But now I understand that it seems to be a little late.
It is not difficult to see from this the level of Jia You and his foresight.
After staring at him coldly for a while, Xiao Yuan withdrew his gaze.
Similarly, he also remembered Jia You's words that Xu Rong was brave and good at fighting and could be of great use.
To be honest, Jia You's words before leaving indirectly saved Xu Rong.
It will take a certain amount of time to completely integrate the Montenegro Army, but if this army is used well, it will have unexpected effects.
Xiao Yuan's mind was spinning, and for Ming's military order, he also said coldly:
"Xu Rong, what crime do you deserve for indulging your subordinates?"
"I know that I am guilty, and I hope that the king will appease his anger." Xu Rong said hurriedly, kneeling there with his forehead touching the ground and his butt raised high.
"Relegate Xu Rong to infantry immediately!"
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
