Chapter 491

After pondering in her heart, Zhang Xiu replied, "teacher, you write back to Kuai Liang. It is expected that in the second half of this year, I will move my troops south to capture Jingzhou. For the time being, let them not worry. "

Huang Chengyan said: "can't it be after spring?"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and said: "last year's continuous fighting, especially at the end of the year, I fought with Yuan Shao's army in Hanoi County, defeated more than 40000 Yuan Shao's troops, killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and recruited Tian Feng and Zhang Ya."

"There is a deep hatred between Yuan Shao and me that cannot be resolved."

"At the end of last year, Yuan Shao did not send troops because it was too cold to send troops. With Yuan Shao's character, after the spring of this year, he will surely send troops to revenge. "

"I still have a fight with Yuan Shao."

Zhang Xiu said: "after defeating Yuan Shao, Guanzhong will be completely stabilized, and it will not be too late to go south to Jingzhou. Yuan Shao was the most powerful vassal in the north. After defeating Yuan Shao, it would be much easier to go south to capture Jingzhou. "

"At that time, one south and one north will run through the whole world. Even if the front is extended, no one will dare to invade with my prestige. So it's most appropriate to go south in the second half of the year. "

Zhang xiuzhengse way: "with the general trend of defeating Yuan Shao, we can make a difference."

Pang Degong nodded and said: "Jiang Ping, your imperial court appointed Taiwei is not weak in controlling Guanzhong. But after all, Yuan Shao was the most powerful vassal, and he was extremely powerful. Could he resist the attack of his army? "

Zhang Xiu confidently said: "teacher, don't worry, Yuan Shao is nothing. Although Yuan Shao was strong, he was just trying to be strong for a while. The strength under my command is enough to resist Yuan Shao. What's more, with rice paper as the backing, if there is no lack of money and food, there will be no worries. "

Pound said: "I'm not good at fighting. You can arrange it."

With Zhang Xiu, pound can be at ease.

He and Huang Chengyan went north, on the one hand, for the children, on the other hand, for the grand plan of Jingzhou.

Zhang Xiu changed her words and asked, "teacher, how many disciples are there on Mount lumen?"

"Less!"

"After Shi Yuan and Kong Ming left, Cui Jun, Shi Tao and Meng Jian left one after another. Nowadays, there are not many people studying in the mountains. After all, I don't have much busy time to go to preach

Zhang xiudao said: "this time I went to Xudu and invited Yang Biao to Chang'an to set up academies in Chang'an and recruit scholars to impart knowledge. Are teachers and their father-in-law willing to teach in academies instead of officialdom and fame? "

Pound Fair: "no problem, but have to wait until Jingzhou."

Huang Chengyan said: "after Jingzhou was settled, we went north to Chang'an, so we didn't have to worry about it."

With a bright smile on her face, Zhang Xiu said: "in that case, after Jingzhou is stable, her father-in-law and teachers will come to the academy to teach together."

"Yes!"

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan should go down at the same time.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, from outside the study.

Zhang Xiu said, "come in!"

The door was pushed open, but Wang Yue hurried in and stood with a bow.

Seeing this, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan know that Zhang Xiu has official business to deal with. They don't stay much, so they get up and leave. After they left, Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Yue and asked, "what happened?"

Wang yuechen reported: "to my Lord, there are countless retired wounded soldiers outside the military camp. They are at the gate of the barracks for the reward when they leave the barracks. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes, suddenly sharp up, asked: "their pension and reward, has been deducted?"

Wang Yue said: "according to the soldiers, the pensions for their injuries and retirements are paid in full. However, when they finally went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they also made great contributions, which should be rewarded. This reward is nothing. So, there will be countless soldiers going to the barracks gate. "

Zhang Xiu's face cooled down.

There has always been nothing trivial about military affairs.

If the army is unstable, its combat effectiveness will be reduced. Without the army, Zhang Xiu could not stand in troubled times.

It can be said that the army is the premise of everything.

Zhang Xiu asked: "when it comes to making trouble, which army is it?"

Wang Yue replied: "according to the investigation, whether it's the conventional army, or the Langya camp or the flying bear army, it's all involved. Huang Zhong is far away in Hanoi, and Gan Ning is still on the way to withdraw. "

"In the barracks, there are only two generals, Zhang Yan and Chen Zhi. After getting the news, they have sent people to the Ministry of war to inquire about it. At the same time, they are also maintaining the situation and stabilizing the mood of the soldiers. "

"For the time being, the Ministry of war has not yet received a clear reply."

Wang Yue said, "is there something wrong with the army or the Ministry of war? The royal guards are still under investigation?"

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "how long does it take to investigate."

Wang Yue said: "report back, the royal guards are investigating. One hour at most. After one hour, the royal guards will get the news. "Zhang Xiu said, "I'll wait for an hour."

It's useless for Zhang Xiu to know what's going on. Now go to stabilize the soldiers, but it's not clear what the situation is. On the contrary, it's not easy to deal with it. Only when we have a clear understanding of the situation can it be conducive to disposal.

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and Wang Yue stepped down.

Zhang Xiu was sitting alone in her study, her face as deep as water. Originally, when I came back to Chang'an today, I was in a good mood to see my son. I didn't expect that something would happen to the army.

Especially when it comes to the reward for the retired wounded.

Awards and pensions are different.

Commendation is the reward for soldiers who fight and kill the enemy in the battlefield, and pension is the compensation for retired soldiers who are injured.

He waited quietly.

Little by little, less than half an hour later, Wang Yue returned in a hurry and reported: "my Lord, I have found out. The person involved in the case is Cui Jin, a meritorious official of the Ministry of war. "

"Cui Jin is from Qingliu."

"According to the investigation, Cui Jin always looks down on the soldiers in the army. When he saw that he had been given a pension, he withheld a reward for the wounded. He thought that the reward and the pension should have come together. A pension is a reward, so it is withheld. "

Wang Yue said the results of the investigation.

Zhang Xiu's eyes were cold, and she said: "the laws and regulations of the army, where do you need him to comment. He has no right to change the arrangements in the army. Where does round get him to change. "

Zhang Xiu said: "call Jia Xu, and then send someone to take Cui Jin and investigate Cui Jin's affairs carefully for me. In my opinion, Cui Jin is likely to have a problem. He can't despise soldiers and dare to deduct bonus from them. "

"Here it is

Wang Yue responded and went to arrange it immediately.

After a while, Jia Xu came in in a hurry. He was the Minister of the Ministry of war and was in charge of all the affairs of the Ministry of war. Under Jia Xu's administration, everything in the Ministry of war was in order and nothing went wrong.

When Zhang Xiu sees Jia Xu, she immediately covers her face with a drink of abuse, which makes Jia Xu dizzy. Jia Xu really didn't know what big mistake he had made, so that he was scolded by Zhang Xiu.

After a lot of scolding, Zhang Xiu said something about Cui Jin, and scolded: "this is the headquarters you are in charge of. You have been in the army, and you know that the life of soldiers is not easy. Now, however, they are being punished. What's your conscience? "

Jia Xu seldom saw Zhang Xiu's fierce anger.

He knew that Zhang Xiu was angry.

Jia Xu was aware of Cui Jin's affairs and quickly explained: "report back to my Lord about Cui Jinke's award deduction. At the beginning, he asked for instructions from his humble position. He thought that it was not appropriate to pay the bonus after the pension was issued. He thought that pension was a reward. "

"For this reason, I reprimanded Cui Jin."

"He was also ordered to follow the rules and give out all the bonuses that should be paid."

"He said yes."

Jia Xu hated Cui Jin in his heart and continued: "but I didn't expect that Cui Jin would cheat the superior and cheat the inferior by withholding the rewards of all the soldiers. If you are not strict in your humble position, which leads to trouble, please punish me. "

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu didn't scold Jia Xu any more. She waved her hand and said, "I know. You can step back."

"Here it is

Jia Xu stepped back.

He knew that his words just now were not enough to make Zhang Xiu believe. This kind of thing, not rely on human feelings, rely on the investigation, Zhang Xiu must investigate.

However, Jia Xu has a clear conscience.

Cui Jin actually issued a reprimand against Cui Yang Jin.

This is what surprised Jia Xu.
