"What does the former high-ranking guard have to say?”
Huangfu Song asked in a low voice. His gaze towards Dong Zhuo became even sharper!
There were other generals of the Western Expedition Army in the tent, but he didn't give Dong Zhuo any face. Although he didn't scold him loudly, his interrogation was even more vicious!
The Western Expedition Army was the defense headquarters of the Jin Kingdom. The military discipline was clear. They were not allowed to bully the people or rape women. However, now that the court's discipline had been corrupted, many military disciplines were useless!
Not only Xixi Army, but the other defense headquarters in the 13 provinces of Jin Country were also in a similar situation. However, they were not as brazen as Xixi Army!
Even Huangfu Song's security headquarters couldn't be completely clear!
The 60,000 troops were divided into two parts. One part was the West West Army under Dong Zhuo. They were the true West West Border Army, the soldiers that Dong Zhuo had recruited from the West. Most of them were the West West Jin's sons. They had grown up in battles, and their personalities were even more wild and unruly!
They had experienced the battle to suppress the tribes and the Yellow Turban uprising. They were brave and good at fighting. Only the strong could convince them. Even the orders of the imperial court were nothing in their eyes!
As a result, military discipline had become a big problem. Even though the security headquarters under Mondain were known for their strictness, they were only absolutely obedient during battle!
After the battle, Mondain would not be too harsh on them, or they would easily lose the hearts of the people! After all, the soldiers followed him to survive and obtain more benefits, not slaves!
Mondain needed to make sure that their efforts were rewarded!
Apart from Meng Dan's subordinates, the discipline of the rest of the Xixi Army was even worse. It was common for them to rob the people of their wealth!
After all, in their eyes, they were people who had their heads on their belts. What else did they care about? Why didn't he seize the time to enjoy it?
Therefore, the Xixi Army was definitely a headache to defend the headquarters, especially when compared to Huangfu Song's subordinates!
Huangfu Song's 30,000-strong army was the Imperial Army, the headquarters of the defense of Lorraine City and Chang 'an. The generals were all descendants of famous families!
Most of the guards were Si Li people! Since they came from the capital, they were naturally superior to others. Their psychological advantage made them disdained to do things like robbing some small money!
Moreover, the benefits of the Imperial Army were too good. They received wages during training, subsidies during war, and rewards from the Imperial Court!
As a result, they did not care about the small amount of money in the hands of the common people at all, and very few people did anything to plunder the wealth of the common people!
Therefore, the Imperial Army could be considered as the headquarters with the best military discipline among the thirteen provinces of Jin!
It was a pity that no one cared about the other provinces and counties 'headquarters. The Xixi Army did not have the same benefits as the Imperial Army, so they could only rely on themselves to snatch it!
In fact, most of the silver in the imperial court was only brought in and not taken out. The current emperor was even more famous for accumulating wealth!
The buying and selling of official titles had almost reached the point of brazenness. Asking the imperial court to pay to protect the headquarters? Haha!
For border troops like the Xixi Army, who were neither loved nor pampered by their grandparents, the amount of silver they could get from the court every year was not much at all!
Therefore, most of the military resources of the Xixi Army came from the spoils of the enemy. The more people they killed, the more they earned!
This made the Xixi Army even more ferocious. Not only against the enemy, but also against the internal forces. It was common for them to rob the people of their wealth!
In comparison, the Xixi Army was simply scum in the eyes of the Imperial Army. Adding on Huangfu Song's intent to suppress Dong Zhuo, that was why there was today's scene!
Facing Huangfu Song's interrogation, Dong Zhuo felt aggrieved in his heart! The old man's face was expressionless. His eyes darkened slightly, and the atmosphere in the tent froze in an instant!
Everyone's breathing became heavy. They knew that Dong Zhuo came from the western border and had an irritable personality. It was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't quarrel with Huangfu Song!
However, that also had to be divided into people. For Dong Zhuo to be able to mix to such a high position, he was absolutely not a person who was swayed by emotions!
Huangfu Song was the commander in charge of protecting the headquarters. If Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song had an argument, then even if they were reasonable, it would become unreasonable! It was even more disadvantageous to Dong Zhuo, not to mention that the Xixi Army was in the wrong in this matter!
In the end, Dong Zhuo lowered his head slightly and cupped his fists at Huangfu Song."Marshal, this general will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. In the future, I will definitely discipline my subordinates strictly. This kind of thing will never happen again!”
"Farewell!"
Dong Zhuo was annoyed that Huangfu Song had taken the opportunity to teach him a lesson. He was even more unwilling to stay in the main tent any longer. He directly snorted coldly and left the main tent with his men without giving Huangfu Song any face!
Huangfu Song watched Dong Zhuo leave calmly. The military discipline of Xixi Army was just a trivial matter. Besides Lorraine City, all the other security headquarters in the 13 provinces of Jin Country were the same!
The imperial court did not care about such matters at all. They only cared about whether the rebel army could be pacified. As for the lives of those low-level commoners, who cared?
Huangfu Song was only using this to teach Dong Zhuo a lesson, but unexpectedly, the hot-tempered Dong Heizi actually didn't fall for it!
But if Dong Zhuo really started quarreling in the marshal's tent, then Huangfu Song would be able to punish him for a mistake of disobeying orders!
He could at least give him a few slaps, but since he didn't fall for it, Huangfu Song didn't care too much. If Dong Zhuo was really so easy to deal with, then he wouldn't be Dong Hei Zi!
However, Huangfu Song's subordinates did not think so. A general in white armor stood up and said,"Marshal, this Dong Zhuo is too arrogant!”
"Relying on the powerful combat strength of his Xixi Army, he's looking down on you more and more. If this continues, the dignity of the Imperial Court will be a joke to him!”
"Marshal, we have to be on guard!”Sun Mulin said in a low voice as he looked at Huangfu Song with a firm gaze.
He was originally a middle-level official in Jing State and had always been brave. This time, he was transferred to join the army under Huangfu Song during the Western Expedition. He was appreciated by Huangfu Song and did not have a good impression of Dong Zhuo!
When Huangfu Song heard this, he glanced at him and shook his head indifferently."Dong Zhuo is arrogant and despotic, but he doesn't dare to look down on the Imperial Court!”
"Moreover, the Xixi Army is untamed, but if we want to suppress the rebel army, we still have to rely on the Xixi Army's strength. We can't oppress Dong Zhuo too much!”
Huangfu Song had clearly seen through everything. The current situation required the Xixi Army. Although the Imperial Army under his command was elite, in terms of combat power, they were still inferior to the Xixi Army, a border army that spent most of its time fighting against foreign races in the desolate lands!
Therefore, even if he wanted to suppress Dong Zhuo, he was temporarily unable to do so! As long as Xixi's rebellion is not settled, Dong Zhuo cannot be killed!
However, he still underestimated Dong Zhuo's wild ambition. He didn't know if he would regret not listening to Sun Mulin's suggestion today!
On the other side, Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger along the way. His gloomy expression became even darker until he walked into his commander's tent. Only then did he angrily say,"Old man Huangfu, you've gone too far!"
