Simply put, he is a coward who always takes every step carefully in battle and never takes any risks.

This time, the generals from several states were vying for the mission to Youzhou to quell the rebellion.

After all, compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the northern barbarians, the Youzhou rebels are just a piece of fat meat in the eyes of many people, and everyone wants to take a bite.

"The generals of the vassal states also have factions, mainly divided into three factions: Heshuo, Frontier, and Central Plains."

"So it is precisely because Zhao Tiangang is mediocre in commanding troops and is a marginal figure who does not belong to any faction that he was sent here, even if he has this military merit, he will not pose any threat to other factions?"

However, Zhao Tiangang went against his usual practice and arranged young generals like Xia He in the rear, under the pretext of "assisting in the transportation of food and fodder", but in fact he did not dare to let them serve as the main force.

Xia He was open-minded about this. After all, the mission of the reserve battalion was to assist. So he might as well transport food and fodder. It was better than being sent to be cannon fodder.

However, a few of them would still gather together privately to study the military situation in Youzhou.

In short, the situation in Youzhou is divided into two forces.

One group was the "White Robe Army" outside Youzhou City, led by the Su family and some sects, who became bandits.

This team initially had only more than 2,000 people, but now it has gathered more than 10,000 people and has occupied several towns as strongholds, and its sphere of influence continues to expand.

The other group was the rebels in Youzhou City, with a number of about 15,000, most of whom were soldiers originally stationed in Youzhou City.

In order to break the deadlock, the White Robe Army outside the city must be eliminated first. Otherwise, the situation will become more complicated due to attacks from both inside and outside.

Liu Rushuang, Tie Zhan and others were puzzled as to why Youzhou suddenly rebelled?

Xia He calmly analyzed:

"Youzhou's rebellion actually has sufficient reasons. First of all, the two great families in Youzhou hold military power and have the confidence to rebel."

"Secondly, the old emperor has entered his old age. Although he has great trust in the two families, the current crown prince hates them extremely."

"Su Chengping was previously recommended by the crown prince to take up his post in Youzhou, but he was killed in Youzhou. After this incident, the crown prince suppressed them many times in the court and secretly sent people to investigate. They have always been afraid that the crown prince will settle old scores after he ascends the throne."

"Just for this reason, they rebelled?"

"It's a bit far-fetched..."

At this point, Xia He suddenly had an idea, as if he had figured something out.
