Yan'an Prefecture. Yongxing Army Road Commander.

A middle-aged man in his thirties but with a frosty face sat high above him. He was the first soul-sex person in the Northwest Army after Zhong Shiheng.

What is a bit embarrassing is that Zhong Shiheng is the last civil official of the Zhong family and will not be treated well in the future. Zhong E's official is a series of military generals.

The rules of the Song Dynasty, military generals could not be called adults, and could not manage the people. Therefore, in fact, although there was a general in the Yongle Army, the power of the general was not full of blood. Because the person who was in the general in the general was not a civil servant. It was because of these pains that Zhong E had always done the job of the general in charge, but did not have the title of the general in charge.

It happened that the rules in this regard were particularly strict during this period. The full name of the Chief of the Supervisor was the General Strategy and Pacifier. Zhong E did not have this title but actually presided over the General Strategy and Pacifier. The real position was like Di Qing in the past. His power was similar to that of the General Strategy and Pacifier, but he represented a military official. In the future, the Zong Shidao position of the Zong family was similar to that of this, and was called "the commander of the Northwest Roads".

Simply put, it is the job of the commander-in-chief, but there is no real decision-making power.

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, when he was the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture and the pacification envoy of Yongxing Army Road, he was the real highest official and the one who made the decision.

Now the northwest of the Song Dynasty is actually equivalent to no military commander. So Li Shen, the Shaanxi Transportation Commander, manages the Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Jun Road. The Transportation Commander is the main force. This is not a real wartime deployment, but in fact, as the highest literary official in Shaanxi and coordinates the two routes, Li Shen is the default commander of the Northwest without a commander.

Such a command structure is caused by the Song Dynasty's own struggle, and for diplomatic reasons, it is also possible to try not to hurt the nerves of the Xixia people as much as possible.

So under such a command structure, the emperor appointed Wang Rong and other people to come, which was a chaotic move in the minds of the Northwest bureaucrats.

It was indeed a mess, but it was also a change. Lao Zhao promoted Funing County to Funing Army, which not only made Zhongyu unable to manage Wang Yun, but Li Shen could not help Wang Yun. But that child could still lead hundreds of gangsters to reliance on his own.

If there is a genuine strategic commander on Yongxing Army Road, then you can really manage Wang Rong. But he just can't manage the E. He can only manage the Funing Army. However, the Funing Army and Funing County are military and political integrated. The military ministers are not considered adults, and it is not adults that cannot manage the people. Therefore, the structure becomes complicated, and the Song Dynasty has these characteristics.

This coexists with the large number of "formal temporary workers" in state-owned enterprises and institutions in the mid-1990s, and is almost inconsistent with the two classes. If a temporary worker is good, it is likely to be appointed to some "group leaders" and other positions to take charge of formal work. It is logically normal for whoever does the best.

But the system makes the "temporary work team leader" really unable to control it, and it ends up making a mess. Why? Because even if a formal worker "disobeys and does not work", he cannot be expelled according to the system. He still gets the salary and benefits. Changing a position can only affect the bonus. This is commonly known as "I will continue to drink tea and read newspapers when I change my room."

This is the case with a fair and just civilized society, so this phenomenon was infinitely magnified in ancient times. This is the reason why Hubei cannot control Wang Yun. This is also the trick made by the emperor. It is also the characteristic of the civil servant system of the Song Dynasty.

"Zhong Zheng, the general is really helpless. Wang Rong's little thief is too bullying others. You can't respond. If this continues, the morale of the northwest will be in chaos sooner or later." Cao Shouyi said excitedly when he met Zhuang E.

Zhong E had a gloomy face for a while, but said, "He clearly showed a 'you bite me' attitude, and the emperor sent such a person to the northwest. How do you hope this coach will respond?"

"In short, he is too damaging and bullying the lack of people in our army. Our northwest military must respond, otherwise the team will become more and more difficult to lead in the future." Cao Shouyi said in a sinister test.

Zhong E thought for a while and said, "Cao Shouyi, don't treat me as a fool. I have warned you to restrain yourself properly, but you don't listen. Now you have met a ruthless person, you are incompetent, so-called success, king and defeated bandits, two elite crossbow cavalry camps were easily disarmed in Dalihe. What else do you say? From then on, how do you want to destroy my reputation? Do you know if you lose?"

Cao Shouyi shook his hand in an unjust manner and said, "Zhong Shuai, about the use of slave workers, I have to do it like that under the unique situation in the Northwest. This is to learn your style of family and communicate with you in advance, and was it acquiesced by Mr. Li Shen?"

Zhong E slapped the table and stood up and angrily shouted: "At present, do you still dare to throw dirty water on my head of the Zong family? I acquiesced to help you withstand the pressure and convince Mr. Li Shen because I know in my heart that these behaviors are unscrupulous. My defense capabilities on the northwest and east line are largely dependent on these."

He paused and said, "But it was not until Sima Guang impeached me in the court this time that I suddenly realized that Sima Guang said that I was cruel and unethical. Under the rule, I would kill anyone who wanted to kill him. He would dig out his heart and soul. On the surface, this seemed like a slander, and it was the work of the treacherous ministers in the court. At first, I was furious, but then after thinking carefully, Sima Guang might have some problems with being a human being, but he was definitely not a treacherous minister who ignored the facts. The so-called groundlessness, after calming down, I would inevitably have many thoughts: Sima Guang said that the northwest was cruel and unethical, maybe these things really exist?"

"Zhong Shuai, you are not such a person. Lord Sima has too much said." Cao Shouyi shook his hand wisely.

Zhong E said coldly: "I didn't say it was me. I mean, I didn't do this, but it doesn't mean that there is no such thing in the northwest. People's words are terrifying. I am the head of Yongxing Jundu. Don't you think I've been taking the blame for you? In theory, Sima Guang is not considered a stolen thing, because these things happened under my rule, and of course it fell on me in the end. Just like every time the dynasty changed and the country was destroyed, the brain that ended up with reputation must be the emperor and the prime minister. Isn't it simple?"

Hearing this, Cao Shouyi felt very bad and tried to say, "This is not the same as your usual grammatical tone. Have you heard something from someone?"

Zhong E didn't hide it, and raised a document and said, "I used Wang Yun's tone. This was the letter he wrote to me a few days ago. He didn't say anything else, but he comprehensively analyzed why Sima Guang misunderstood this time and why he impeached the Zong family so much."

Cao Shouyi hurriedly said, "Zhong Shuai, you can't listen to the little lady and confuse the crowd..."

"Shut up!"

Zhong E interrupted, "How to judge, who said it makes sense, who said it makes no sense. I know that Wang Rong has the purpose of Wang Rong, and I know that what he said is a bit exaggerated. But there is a certain reason, and we must face it. This is the reason why he can succeed countless times. This time, you and Funing County are indeed responsible for your affairs, because I did acquiesce your behavior for military interests. But you used my name to magnify the incident infinitely and be crazy, which led to the dispersion of my reputation and being impeached by Sima Guang. I have recorded this account for you."

"Wang Yun said that our path was wrong. He said that we had caused hatred in the entire Northwest, and consumed almost half of the national strength of the Song Dynasty but never won a battle between Song and Xia. He might be a bit fake and empty-handed, and the scholarly spirit, but when I think what he said was true, this is the reason why I have been silent this time. Cao Shouyi, go back, I can't control him, nor can I control you, the royal relative. There must be a price for doing things. If you lose this time, the loss of those war horses and divine arm crossbows is your price. In my opinion, the price is acceptable so far. If it continues, it will only be worse. It will really affect the hearts of the military and people. There will be chaos before the war begins. I don't have much conscience to plant Hubei, but I adhere to the concept of family style. I don't want to destroy the defense capabilities of the Northwest East Line with my own hands. This is the center."

Cao Shouyi wanted to say something else, but Zhong E got up and waved his hand, and quickly left Shuaisi lobby...
