When the Turks united, they would be able to defeat the Turks.
Chai Shao was surprised to discover that the Turkic tribes were nowhere to be found, and it was not easy to fight!
In order to maintain the border troops, Chai Shao had no choice but to increase the local taxes of Youzhou! However, Youzhou had been tormented by Chai Shao to such a state. The rich had long run away, and the rest were all poor. How could they have any money or grain to pay taxes?
The Youzhou officials who could collect taxes did not care about this.
They only urged him!
If they really couldn't rush the taxes, then in order to keep their official positions, they could only send the bailiffs to rob them!
Once they started, they basically couldn't stop!
In the beginning, the tax collectors only robbed money and grain to complete their tasks. However, as time passed, the tax collectors were surprised to find that the higher-ups did not seem to care about them fighting! Then they would be even bolder. Robbing for money and food would become plundering!
In addition, if there was a beautiful girl, the tax collectors would quickly have evil thoughts.
Youzhou.
Chaos!
The complaints of the people were everywhere!
As time passed, the countless people who stayed in Youzhou hated Chai Shao, the so-called right-guard general, to the bone!
As for the Youzhou border army, because of the drop in pay, their treatment had declined greatly, and they were filled with complaints towards Chai Shao.
The generals in the army began to degenerate. They began to be greedy, make false accusations for no reason, secretly sell the army's equipment, and so on, trying their best to earn money!
The foundation of the entire Youzhou border army started to rot.
However, Chai Shao was so proud that he did not care about the sufferings of the people and soldiers at the bottom. He continued to focus his attention on the enemies in Youzhou.
And so on.
Only one and a half years had passed. The border towns of Youzhou Province that were originally impregnable had become rotten and weak.
At this moment, all the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou who still had a conscience missed the white-robed General Li Yi who had led them to become powerful!
……
After coming to Youzhou Province for over 2 years, Chai Shao felt that he couldn't adapt to the environment of Youzhou Province anymore.
First, Leng from Youzhou Province; second, people from Youzhou Province.
Poor mountains and rivers produce unruly people!
This was Chai Shao's feeling about Youzhou Province these days.
"If it weren't for the fact that I still have to be wary of Goguryeo, I would have already led my army to break through the Turks and seal Wolf Juxu!”
Chai Shao was standing on the high wall of Youzhou City as he looked towards the northeast occasionally.
To the north of Youzhou, besides the Turks, there was another very serious threat!
And that was Goguryeo!
Chai Shao could only scoff at the Turks, but he didn't dare to underestimate Goguryeo.
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo three times, the Chai Clan of Jinyang had contributed greatly!
Chai Shao did not dare to underestimate the foreign Goguryeo with the warning left behind by his ancestors!
Thus, in the two years that Chai Shao had been stationed in Youzhou, he had constantly sent out scouts and spies to keep a close eye on Goguryeo's every move.
After two years of infiltration, the spies had already infiltrated the various counties of Goguryeo.
Chai Shao's ambition to conquer the Turks was also ignited!
Yes, Chai Shao was not stupid!
In truth, Chai Shao knew that before he overthrew Li Yi's plan, this was the best time for him to attack the Turks!
However, he was worried that Goguryeo would take advantage of Chai Shao's invasion of the desert and stab him in the back. If that happened, Chai Shao would truly be in for a huge loss!
Now, the pass and beacon towers of the Land of Yanyun had been repaired.
The early warning of the outpost and spies was also arranged steadily.
Chai Shao could finally attack the Turks with peace of mind.
However, Chai Shao always felt a bit restless lately as he felt that something was wrong in Youzhou City.
He walked around the city wall of Youzhou with great ambition. Suddenly, he heard a low voice complaining from the arrow tower.
"Sigh, ever since that Chai guy came, we haven't had a good time.”
"It's freezing cold, and we still have oatmeal every day. All our rations have been stolen by that Chai guy!”
"I don't know when these days will end.”
"I miss the white-robed general so much. It's been two years.”
"If the white-robed general comes back, even if it's a rebellion, I'll follow him!”
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Hearing the voice that was close to rebellion, Chai Shao's expression instantly darkened!
He panted heavily as he walked towards the arrow tower aggressively. The soldiers on the arrow tower had noticed Chai Shao in advance and immediately scattered.
Hence, Chai Shao looked at the empty arrow tower and became even angrier.
Then, Chai Shao returned to the commander's camp with an angry face. He immediately found a trusted aide and ordered him to secretly investigate the situation of the Youzhou border army's camps.
That trusted aide received the order but quickly returned and immediately told Chai Shao everything he had seen and heard.
"Great General, many of the battalions in the border army are full of complaints about you!”
"Especially one of Li Yi's personal guards. He told me directly that the Great General doesn't know how to manage Youzhou at all and that his talent is not even one ten-thousandth of the White-robed General's!”
Hearing this, Chai Shao's expression immediately darkened.
"That guard really said so!"
"Great General, this subordinate is not lying!”
"Immediately bring people over and kill that guard! Those who disturb our morale will be killed!"
