It was the beginning of January of the tenth year of Pingguang in Yan State. According to the Yan calendar, it was only a few months before the end of the year. However, for the soldiers in the northwest, the closer they were to the end of the year, the more difficult it was.

Who doesn’t miss homesickness?

As Han Mo estimated, at noon that day, the first general who came from the border had arrived, but Han Mo did not receive him, but just asked someone to arrange entertainment. After the five generals arrived, a meeting was held.

The summoning order issued by Han Mo was designed to allow the five generals to arrive at the same time within one or two days. Therefore, at dusk the next day, Qin Luo came to report that the generals of each pass had arrived and could be summoned at any time.

Han Mo knew that he would face an extremely important moment in his life next time. He could not be sure whether the token in his hand could really realize the strategy proposed by Xiao Lingzhi.

Regulating generals and not troops is the best way to eliminate hidden dangers of the Northwest Army and weaken the military power of each general.

But once such an order is issued, will the five generals be able to comply with it, and will they really issue an order in person to mobilize the middle-level generals in each pass first? If these generals do not comply with the generals, what should they do? They can't kill them all.

But what Xiao Lingzhi said is right. If you want to truly further control the Northwest Army, you must weaken the military power of the five generals, otherwise it will always be a confidant.

Without Xiao Huaiyu's prestige, it is impossible for him to shock the five generals with his prestige. If the five generals join forces to attack, with his foundation in the Northwest Army, he will not be their opponent at all.

But Han Mo knew very well that once he could not control the Northwest Army, many troubles would follow.

The Han family is now incredibly famous in the court. First of all, the Han people have a lot of roots. Another crucial reason is that they hold the Northwest Military Talisman and temporarily hold the name of the highest commander of the Northwest Army.

If you make a mistake here and cannot hold the military power in your hands, the royal family will definitely use the sharpest means to cut open their connection with the Northwest Army, and the Korean people will also face an extremely severe situation.

He was willing to believe that when he could not hold the military power in the northwest, the Xiao family, which now smiled at the Han family, would definitely show their hideous teeth, and the royal family would also have thunder and lightning methods to deal with the Han family. As for the officials who depended on the Han family, as long as they saw that the Han family lost power, they would escape everywhere and separate their relationship with the Han family.

Many people see on the surface that the Han family is now in full bloom. Han Xuanling is in charge of the Donghai Pacification Army, Han Cang ascended the throne of Zhongyi Camp, Han Mo held the military talisman in charge of the Northwest Army, and also served as the commander of the Leopard Turbine Camp. These troops are extremely powerful and are several pillars supporting the Han family.

But Han Mo knew very well that Han Cang had not been able to control Zhongyi Camp at all. He was cautious in the northwest and was walking on thin ice. The truly stable force was only the Donghai Punishment Army that the Han family had for a hundred years.

If he and Han Cang could not hold the military power in his hands, just one Donghai peace army would not be able to fight against the royal family.

...

It was dusk, and Han Mo was sitting in the big tent, and the five generals were already waiting for the summons outside the big tent camp.

Sitting quietly in the tent, Han Mo pondered for a long time. As Xiao Lingzhi said, now he is celebrating the civil unrest. Facing the two powerful enemies of the Northern Hu and Wei, he is afraid of Yan. It is impossible to provoke Yan at this time.

Such an opportunity gives you the opportunity to implement the adjustment strategy, and even if there is a certain negative impact, there will be enough time to adapt.

Han Mo stroked his right hand wearing a black metal glove, gently stroked his fingers. Under the black gloves, he concealed the two golden fingers that still existed.

A golden finger made him escape from the gossip trap, and the remaining two golden fingers, if possible, hope that one of them could work today.

Each of the five generals waiting outside the camp gate looked very serious.

Of course they didn't know that Xiao Huaiyu had died on Tianya Peak, and like all the soldiers in the northwest, they never linked Xiao Huaiyu with the word "death".

The five generals naturally knew about Han Mo's troops returning to Beijing and Wu Tianshao's beheading. Personally, they had their own ideas about this matter, but when this strange thing happened, they almost all thought that Xiao Huaiyu was controlling Xiao Huaiyu. Now that Wei Qing is fighting, they always felt that Xiao Huaiyu would not just watch, is there some plan behind this?

When the general's summoning order arrived at various passes, the five generals were also quite surprised. Perhaps everyone had some thoughts deep in their hearts, but no one dared to disobey the summoning order.

In their eyes, Han Mo's ability to temporarily activate military power can only be granted by Xiao Huaiyu temporarily. They may not take Han Mo seriously, but they dare not disobey Xiao Huaiyu's meaning.

In the big tent, the order to summon him finally came. The five generals looked at each other and then walked towards the big tent in unison.

At this moment, an official came over from behind with an angry look on his face. He didn't look at the five generals. He actually felt windy under his feet and went straight to the tent.

When the five generals looked at the official uniforms, they all frowned.

The official who suddenly arrived was the imperial envoy Jiang Siyuan. He was really careful in the Northwest Camp for a while, getting up early and going to bed late, and even reading the regulations of the generals in his heart, for fear that Han Mo would catch the handle, and even for Han Mo to attack him if he violated the military law.

In winter, the soldiers of the entire army were only trained. As for reclaiming wasteland and farming, they had to wait until after spring, and there were special military fields for cultivation.

Jiang Siyuan’s task this time is to monitor the training situation every day. As for Han Mo, he was very calm this time, which also made Jiang Siyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

But today he suddenly got news that the five generals of the Northwest Army all came to the North Camp in Linyangguan. Two generals arrived here yesterday, but he knew nothing, which made him furious.

There is no doubt that these things were naturally done by Han Mo on his back, and he didn't even say hello, which greatly traumatized Lord Jiang's self-esteem.

Hearing that the five generals had gathered outside the tent of the commander-in-chief's camp, Lord Jiang, who was reading a book in the camp, immediately came quickly and wanted to see Han Mo and question him.

The five generals saw Jiang Siyuan rushing to the tent, and several guards stepped forward to resist, but Jiang Siyuan knocked away the guard like a tantrum and broke in.

Zhu Zicheng, the general of Shanggu Pass, was a strong man of Kong Wu. Seeing Jiang Siyuan's tantrum, he smiled coldly and looked disdainful. He stopped and said to Du Wei, the general of Xuanwu Pass next to him, and whispered: "Old Du, look at his virtue. Is this the court official who agreed on state affairs in the court?"

These two are veterans in the Northwest Army. They have been in the Northwest Army for more than twenty years. They have grown from being a young man to a middle-aged general today, and have also become generals of the Northwest Army.

Twenty years ago, the two of them joined the army together and fought side by side for many years afterwards, sharing life and death. Although they later dispersed and now they have become generals of the First Pass, the iron-blooded friendship of those years has not yet disappeared. Many people in the Northwest Army know that Zhu Zicheng and Dewey are in a life-long friendship.

Dewey's figure was shorter and thinner than Zhu Zicheng, but he had the power of an iron-blooded soldier. His skin was rough, and there was a very clear scar on the lower left jaw. The spreading neck looked quite ferocious. He smiled faintly and said, "That's the Censor, just look at the glamorous official uniform."

When the generals saw Jiang Siyuan rushing into the tent, they stopped and did not go in immediately. Then they heard Jiang Siyuan's angry shout from the tent, as if they were scolding something.

The generals sneered in their hearts. The big tent in front of them was the tent of the Northwest Army Commander. In the eyes of everyone, it was the supreme existence. Xiao Huaiyu was in the border for more than ten years. Not to mention that anyone dared to scold and roar in this tent, even if there was a loud voice, few people dared to do it.

At this time, Jiang Siyuan, a civil servant, dared to be arrogant in the commander's tent. This was equivalent to blaspheming the commander's authority and even making ground on the head of the Northwest Army. The five generals all looked ugly.

They knew that in the Grand Commander's camp, Han Mo was the one who temporarily held military power. Han Mo allowed Jiang Siyuan to roar in the big tent, which made the few people very dissatisfied.

Just when the faces of several people were extremely ugly, they heard an extremely cold voice from the tent, "Come here!" Then they saw several guards entering the tent.

In a blink of an eye, several guards dragged the censor out of the tent. Jiang Siyuan shouted: "Han Mo, you are brave, you are resisting the order... and you are going to behead your head. Do you think this Northwest Army belongs to you Han Mo... This is the army of Da Yan, this is the army of the emperor... How dare you... how dare you act roughly against this official..."

Seeing that several guards were indifferently dragging Jiang Siyuan to the next tent not far away, someone had come forward to press him to the ground, and a guard said coldly: "General Han has an order. The censor Jiang Siyuan trespassed into the tent of the commander, which violated military law and was punished for twenty rods. Add the last time the fifteen army sticks, a total of thirty-five army sticks!"

Jiang Siyuan was pressed to the ground by several thick guards. In front of the five generals, two guards took military sticks, one left and one right, and coldly hit Jiang Siyuan's butt.

At the beginning, Jiang Siyuan was still shouting loudly. After a few sticks, he screamed. The screams were very loud, but when he hit him one by one, Jiang Siyuan's voice became smaller and smaller. By the time he got more than twenty military sticks, Jiang Siyuan's face was pale and bit his lips and could hardly scream. The next few sticks of the two guards obviously became lighter, so naturally Han Mo told him not to be beaten to death.

This military stick is no better than the usual stick. It is specially used to deal with the brave soldiers who have been trained. Jiang Siyuan and a civil servant, and after being beaten with the thirty-five military sticks, they were already dying and fainted.

The five generals looked at each other and all looked surprised.

The young general was really brave. He dared to blame the imperial envoy. This made the five generals vaguely feel that the young general was not a good man, but the charge of "treating into the camp" was to maintain the authority of the commander's camp, but also to comfort the generals. His dissatisfaction with Han Mo just now also dissipated a lot.
