The sun was shining brightly on this day, and there was chaos at the gate of Duanzhou City. The snow on the ground was wet and splattered by horses' hooves. The wheels of the carriages carrying the load slipped between the slates, dragging the horses crookedly and neighing, blocking the road. The Libei Railway behind them couldn't get in, so they had to dismount and help.
"This bird's weather," Yin Chang was anxious, twisting his trousers belt, blushing, "If it changes, it will change. A few days ago, I froze to death, and today I'm burning my ass."
There were horses running along the side of the road, and the wet snow splashed people all over their bodies. Fei Sheng put on his robe, tucked it into his belt, raised his hand and twisted his nose, complaining, "Why are these Biansha horses so stinky!"
"They are all running on the Gobi, and they can pull as much as they want," Tantai Hu was saying, and the Biansha pony in front of him pouted his tail to pull the dung, which fell into the tidal snow and was steaming. Tantai Hu scratched his military boots, trying to pull the horse away, but before he started, a few people flew past and splashed hot dung all over them.
Fei Sheng's complexion turned blue, and he was so stinky that he jumped up and down. When he saw the fresh dung attack, he hid behind Yin Chang, letting the old man completely block it.
"Run!" Yin Chang shouted at the Libei Iron Cavalry, who was speeding past, wiped his face again, and turned back to Fei Sheng and said, "You hide!"
Wu Ziyu put his horse back and turned around to go back here. Tantai Hu hurriedly waved his hand and cursed: "Your mother, get off the horse!"
Wu Ziyu's new boots, seeing that they were all dirty and turned into clay figurines, would not go down, slowed down the speed of the horse, walked up to him, and said, "Why are there only a few of you? Where are the Second Master and the Fujun?"
"Let's go first," Fei Sheng said, breathing hard, squeezing his throat, "Why didn't you clean up the snow earlier? It's all blocked up now, look at how dirty it is, my master's blue and white robe goes down to the ground. To the scourge!"
Wu Ziyu won the battle and was proud of the spring breeze. He was thinking about having a few of them for a drink in the past few days. He was not annoyed when he was scolded, and said proudly, "I'm busy."
Before he could finish laughing, the snowball on the other end flew into his face.
Gujin's nose couldn't take it anymore, his face was ashen, he slapped Wu Ziyu with a ball and scolded: "You laugh! The weather is so hot, the snow in the city will follow, you wait for this rotten official ditch in Duanzhou to come up, By then, the city will be full of filth and stench.”
Gu Jin is usually taciturn. Because he is responsible for raising Ding Tao, he seldom speaks swear words. He was humiliated by Guo Weili in Tuda Longqi last year and never got angry. Now standing not far away, he almost fainted.
Wu Ziyu used to be quite thoughtful in his work, but this time he was overwhelmed by the victory and showed his tricks in trivial matters. If Chen Yang was still here, he would definitely remind him, but now it's Gujin, and scolding him is more direct.
The three people who were still standing behind were dumbfounded. Yin Chang was holding his urine and stood in a row with Tantai Hu, waiting for Gujin's order to start dry immediately.
Fei Sheng whispered, "This swear words are familiar."
Tantai Hu said vaguely, "Hey."
"Bah," Yin Changmao said dressed up, "I didn't teach it!"
Wu Ziyu has honestly rolled off his horse.
* * *
Duanzhou has never suffered a fire like Dunzhou, and the street appearance is still the same as it was seven years ago. The shops and restaurants have long since closed, and Achi has only a few deli meat shops. The scorpions love to eat the braised beef here. Biansha's heavy soldiers lived here for a period of time, slaughtering all the residential areas on the east and west ends, but retaining the ghost towns in the north.
"Lei Jingzhe is here to trade with scorpions," Shen Zechuan stepped on the old debris pile, jumped onto the collapsed courtyard wall, and stood on the top to see the district to the north, "This place was loved by Master before and can be bought. Something you can't see on the market."
"What's on the south side?" Xiao Chiye stepped up and looked south, "...Biansha's horse farm."
Shen Zechuan exhaled and said, "This is an empty city."
When Shen Zechuan was in Ci and Chazhou last year, he was worried that there would be too many refugees coming from Dancheng, but now it seems that the population of Zhongbo is declining, which is a good place to carry refugees from eight cities.
"It's time to re-organize the Yellow Book," Xiao Chiye was so lazy when he saw that he was soaring in the sky. He is not wearing armor today, only wearing armbands. "Last year, it was mainly controlled by the three states, and the guards in Chazhou and Dunzhou were scarce, and the naturalization was jointly organized by the subordinate officials. Separated."
Citizenship is under the control of the Ministry of Household, and it cannot be unified with military registration. Xiao Chiye served as the governor of the Forbidden Army in Yedu, and there was a special place to manage the military status of the Forbidden Army in the office of the Forbidden Army. Zhongbo Xiaozhu is not so easy to do, and the staff in Ibaraki is not enough. All six states need the government affairs yamen and the military command department, as well as the relative inspectors.
"These things are not difficult. Yu Xiao can inspect the important affairs of the six states again, which is equivalent to inspecting. I want him to be a Zhongbo Niaotai. He is excellent in all inspections and evaluations in Yedu, and what he does is field work in various places. , I know all the tricks and tricks of the local yamen. Although Chengfeng refuses to follow me, he is willing to assist in the government affairs of the other five states, which can be regarded as a solution to my urgent needs. " Shen Zechuan looked back and said. , "There is no shortage of subordinate officials. As long as the yamen of the prefectures are willing to open their doors, people will naturally come, and there is a shortage of key personnel who can govern the state's internal affairs."
Not only that, Shen Zechuan is still short of generals.
At present, Luo Mu is temporarily in charge of military affairs in Chazhou, and that's all for a moment. Shen Zechuan is determined not to let him continue for so long, because Luo Mu is now ruled by the three powers, and both the left and right inspectors are temporarily replaced by Jin Yiwei, but Jin Yiwei has no If Luo Mu had other thoughts about interfering in the government affairs of Chazhou, as long as he kept it secret, he might be able to hide from Shen Zechuan's eyes. In order to prevent this from happening again, Shen Zechuan had to determine the candidates for each state as soon as possible.
It suddenly landed on Xiao Chiye's arm, and Xiao Chiye said, "The money shopkeeper is also lacking."
When Xiao Chiye mentioned this, Shen Zechuan thought of Liang Luoshan. He looked at Xiao Chiye and said, "It's a pity Liang Luoshan."
"Liang Luoshan has something to do with Pan Lin, so it's not a waste." Xiao Chiye flattened Meng's feathers, "I heard the report a few days ago that Xue Xiuzhuo wants to check the fields of Dancheng? If this can really be done, eight No city was spared, and that would be a heavy blow to the family.”
"There is no exact news yet," Shen Zechuan said, jumping off the wall, "The details will not be known until everyone comes over."
The two of them walked back along the road, and when they reached the house where they settled down, they didn't see any of Gujin, only Fei Shenghou was here.
"We've all gone to clear the snow," Fei Sheng said with a twist in his mouth, and continued, "It's Gu Jin and Wu Ziyu at the top right now."
This means that he is not lazy, just resting.
Shen Zechuan knew Fei Sheng's temperament, so he didn't plan to pursue it further. He just said to Xiao Chiye, "The Guangou in Duanzhou will also be re-examined. I don't know what it is. This matter has to be planned earlier."
Xiao Chiye glanced at Fei Sheng, but said nothing. Fei Sheng handled Huo Lingyun's affairs fairly well, he suppressed his temper and didn't attack the other party, and he didn't bother Huo Lingyun when he didn't like it, so Xiao Chiye was finally willing to remember him.
Fei Sheng didn't dare to let the two of them stand at the door, so he led the way in, and let the mansion sit down first. This place is the mansion of the original commander of Duanzhou, the Zhu family who was born in Lei Jingzhe.
When Xueqing at the gate of the city arrived at Xu, they were all those who led troops to fight, and Shen Zechuan didn't let them come over overnight. The kitchen prepares meals early, and everyone eats whatever they want before resting. Fei Sheng lived in the same house with Yin Chang and Tantai Hu. As soon as the two took off their boots, Fei Sheng fell to the ground on the spot.
Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye just finished their meal, and Gujin, who was waiting outside, came in.
Seeing that Gujin's expression was wrong, Xiao Chiye put the idle book in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gujin took out the letter from his arms, presented it to Xiao Chiye, and said, "Libei has a letter for the master."
Xiao Chiye read two letters, one was written by Xiao Jiming for official business, and the other was a private letter from Chenyang. He first read Xiao Jiming's letter. The elder brother mentioned that he would be able to go to Luoshan by the end of February, and also mentioned that Xiao Chiye would return to the battlefield at the end of February. These are things Xiao Chiye has known for a long time, but there are A very interesting one.
After Gujin went out, Shen Zechuan emerged from behind, pressed the top of Xiao Chiye's hair, lowered his eyes to read the letter, and said in a calm tone, "Brother's surprise."
Xiao Chiye read the article several times and said, "Big brother transferred Guo Weili to my second camp to free up the third camp for Master. Guo Weili is not used to Hasson's rhythm, and staying in the third camp is also a humiliation. ."
In all fairness, Guo Weili does have the ability to lead troops. He can keep the Tuda Dragon Banner for so long, but this person has a fiery nature, and he is very aggressive, and it is not easy to get along with. Gunpowder smell. Last year, he injured Gujin and removed Gujin's military rank, so he had a delicate relationship with Xiao Chiye. After Xiao Chiye took down the third battalion, the Imperial Army and Guo Weili's soldiers rubbed against the third battalion.
This year, the three major battalions in the battleground will rotate, and Xiao Chiye and Guo Weili are not used to each other's soldiers. When Guo Weili arrived at the second battalion, he had basically never moved the forbidden army. He felt that the forbidden army was both oily and bad, because he was born in the same place. Because of Xiao Fangxu's matter, he can't stand Xiao Chiye now, and he has never torn his face again, but the Gujin incident has never passed. This is a thorn between the two sides.
This man is not useful.
Xiao Jiming's arrangement is also very meaningful. The other two battalions can communicate with Guo Weili. Whether it is Zuo Qianqiu, Lu Guangbai or Zhaohui, they will not have disputes with Guo Weili, but Xiao Jiming has to transfer him to Xiao Chiye. in the second camp.
Xiao Chiye was silent for a moment and said, "Big brother is big brother."
This arrangement hits the nail on the head.
After Xiao Chiye's battle in Duanzhou, his return to the battlefield has a lot of weight. He is not in harmony with the Libei Iron Cavalry, and the two sides can adapt slowly. Just like this time, no soldier will refuse a general who can lead him to victory, not to mention that Xiao Chiye not only has clear rewards and punishments, but also keeps his word. However, if he wanted to use the Libei Iron Cavalry completely, he had to pass through Guo Weili, otherwise he would be miserable.
Shen Zechuan was sleepy indoors. He half closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Ce'an, the sea is open to all rivers, and it is great to have tolerance. This is the opportunity given to you by eldest brother."
In the dim light, Xiao Chiye remembered the bonfire in the snow. Xiao Fangxu clenched his fist right in front of him, and his father asked him in the flash of fire.
"You want this position, but are you really qualified?"
