The foundation of the rear area was entrusted to Xiahou Zhuan. When Xiahou Zhuan learned about this, he was surprised and worried.

Xiahou Zhuan is here.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang, together with Li Mengxi, came out to meet them.

Liu Bei took Xiahou Zhuan's hand and asked Xiahou Zhuan to sit down.

Xiahou Zhuan sat down uneasily, wanting to speak but stopping, stopping talking but wanting to.

Liu Bei saw Xiahou Zhuan's worry, and Liu Bei smiled and said, "The army is about to leave, and there is no one to take care of Zhuozhou's foundation.

We have hundreds of troops, and you, the Marquis of Xia, are the most outstanding in seal writing, so I entrust you with important things."

"This task is long and long," Liu Bei said, pointing to Li Mengxi who was standing beside him, and pointed out the seal script of Xiahou, "The military advisor is here, please ask quickly! Ask the military advisor how to manage this situation!"

"

When Liu Bei said this, Li Mengxi, Guan and Zhang looked at Xiahou's seal with a smile.

Xia Houzhuan was reminded by Liu Bei, and he was very smart. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly stood up and left his position, took a step back, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fist and saluted Li Mengxi and said in a deep voice, "Xiahou Zhuan, how dare you ask the military advisor for advice!"

"General Xiahou, please get up quickly, you can't do it!" Li Mengxi came around with a smile and helped Xiahou Zhuan.

After Xiahou Zhuan was comforted and seated, Li Mengxi thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Our army's seventy-two military camps have been drawn on map scrolls, and every place is marked in detail. Now, I will give you the map."

Li Mengxi took out a thin roll of linen map from his sleeve and handed it to Xiahou Zhuan.

"General Xiahou was born as a scout, does he know the way?" Li Mengxi asked curiously.

"I know, I know!" Xia Houzhuan answered excitedly as he took the map with both hands.

Then, Li Mengxi asked the key question directly. He cleared his throat and said, "Everywhere where farming is done, there is a centurion's control over the farming.

But the centurion has no one to control him."

"The centurion has armor and a bow. If he uses his power to do evil, it will be difficult for the soldiers to compete with him."

Having said this, Li Mengxi glanced at Xiahou Zhuan and said, "The centurion controls the troops, and General Xiahou supervises the centurions."

"General, does he know how to supervise?" Li Mengxi asked the key, stopped, and looked at Xiahou's seal.

Xiahou Zhuan was quite clever. He frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "Ask the soldiers under his command and the centurion if he has any bad deeds."

"Interrogating the residents is one way to do it. Then, how to interrogate a method? What are the details?"

Li Mengxi used this cross-examination method and asked in depth.

"This..." Xiahou's seal words were stagnant. What kind of cross-examination could be done? Isn't it just to pull people over and ask them one by one?

"Let's put it another way," Li Mengxi laughed. "When you go to interrogate the campers, should you do it in front of everyone and ask the centurion if there is any oppression? Or should you ask the centurion one by one from a distance? Is it the former? Or the latter?

?”

Xia Houzhuan suddenly realized it, his eyes widened, and his head started to click, "The latter, the latter! You have to open up and ask one by one!"

It seems that Xiahou Zhuan understood it.

"Oh? Why are you asking each other from afar?" Li Mengxi asked with a smile.

"What do you think, military advisor? If you ask the centurion in public if he has been oppressed, and the centurion is just watching from the side, how dare you say bad things about the centurion, don't you think?"

Xiahou Zhuan already understood the essence of inquiry.

Li Mengxi smiled and nodded.

Then, Li Mengxi asked seriously, "One more thing. When questioning, you should remain calm and ask questions from beginning to end before dealing with it.

Rather than dragging away the campers individually, as soon as the reason was asked, they immediately went to punish the centurion.

If so, how could the centurion not know that it was the previous camper who reported the secret? After you leave, how can the informant do well?"

Li Mengxi thought of more details and mentioned Xiahou Seal.

Xiahou Zhuan was convinced and nodded repeatedly.

"Ask General Xiahou again, if, what if, the camp informs the centurion to rob his chickens. How should this matter be handled?"

This is the fourth question.

How to deal with it? Xia Houzhuan scratched his head and thought for a moment with his brows furrowed.

"According to the military law, the rod is responsible." Xiahou Zhuan replied.

Whether it is punishment with a cane or beheading, the method of punishment is secondary, and the key issue is not here.

"Ask the general again, what crime does it take to blame a centurion for punishing him with a stick?"

Question five.

Xiahou Zhuan didn't even think about it, "for the crime of oppressing the camp residents."

"How to oppress the sin of Tunding, how to oppress?"

"The oppression of seizing the chickens of the denizens."

"What will happen if the centurion refuses to plead guilty?" Li Mengxi looked at Xiahou Zhuan with a half-smile.

Xia Houzhuan's eyes widened and he looked at Li Mengxi in confusion, "Why is there no witness? I'll bring the guard over here, and the witness is there!"

The atmosphere was silent for two seconds.

"This is the problem." Li Mengxi said leisurely.

"The campers dared to inform in private, but whether they dared to identify the centurion in person was a matter of two minds.

Even if the garrison had the guts to testify against the centurion, General Xiahou would still be held accountable according to military law. But after the general left, the centurion would retaliate against the garrison. Since the general had already left, wouldn't it be beyond the reach of the whip?" Li Mengxi succinctly explained the problem.

Clicked out.

A remark that makes people think deeply.

Xia Houzhuan frowned even more tightly.

After a while, Xiahou Zhuan raised his head, raised his fist and saluted, "Please give me a clear statement from the military advisor."

"Just one thing, general, please remember.

If he makes a mistake once, he will be dismissed immediately." Li Mengxi looked at Xiahou's seal and spoke word by word. His voice was not loud, but his tone was solemn.

"Any centurion who actually oppresses the soldiers in the camp should be punished on the spot with a stick and detained on the spot without giving him a chance to retaliate.

After the centurion is dismissed, another person from the camp will be selected as the new centurion."

"As for the former, they will be kept in the manor until I come back and deal with them together."

"General, please remember not to tolerate others for selfish reasons.

This matter is of great importance. If the centurion seeks an opportunity to retaliate, and the troops in the camp rebel in anger, if the two fight together, if it affects the overall situation, one party's foundation will be wiped out in an instant!"

Li Mengxi repeatedly warned and reiterated the seriousness of the matter.

Xia Houzhuan agreed solemnly.

At this point, Xiahou Zhuan had the power of appointment and dismissal.

The power of life and death was not given to him.

On the side, Liu Guanzhang listened to Li Mengxi explaining all the details of Xiahou Seal. The three of them nodded frequently.

After Xiahou Seal has been digested, how should we interrogate and what are the details of the interrogation, and how should we deal with the evildoers who oppressed the villagers and committed evil, including how to appoint and remove them.

Xiahou Zhuan completely memorized a set of procedures.

Then, Li Mengxi asked other questions.

"General Xiahou, if there is a conflict between the villagers and the villagers, such as fighting, fighting, etc., what should we do?" Li Mengxi asked.

Is it even necessary to think about it?

Xia Hou Zhuan slapped the table, "If you dare to bully us, you will lead the troops to beat him!" Xia Hou Zhuan said in an extremely domineering manner.

Li Mengxi frowned when he heard Xia Houzhuan's answer.

Xiahou Zhuan originally thought that his answer was very good, but when he saw the military advisor's frown, Xiahou Zhuan became a little unsure. Isn't that the case?

People hit us, shouldn't we hit them?

After a long while, Li Mengxi shook his head. He looked at Xiahou's seal and warned seriously, word for word, "Someone said that there was a conflict between the villagers and the villagers.

We still don’t know who is right and who is wrong, so the general will lead his troops to fight against the villagers.”

"It's good to know how to protect your shortcomings and protect your own people."

"But, General.

Do you know why our army wants to recruit the Yellow Turbans?

Because most of the Yellow Turbans are kind people, if our army does not recruit them, most of them will starve to death.

When the officers and soldiers from various places conquered them, the rest would also die.

Pity the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans and tens of thousands of civilians, but only a few are alive.

Therefore, appease him."

"When it comes to farming, why do we choose unowned land? For fear of conflict with the people."
