Looking at Chenyue's appearance, Xue Leihan laughed and explained in detail.

It turned out that after receiving Chen Yue's letter, Xue Leihan felt that he should accompany his brother to fight side by side. In addition, Xue Leihan knew clearly that with the gradual recovery of Lingzhou, a large number of officials handling government affairs would be needed on the front line, so

He took the initiative to ask his grandson for a tassel. Mr. Xue agreed to his grandson's request without hesitation and immediately sent a message to the capital.

Not long after, the Xue and Zhao families in Beijing jointly submitted a letter recommending Youzhou Biejia Xue Leihan as the temporary governor of Lingzhou, who would be in charge of Lingzhou's government affairs during the war and cooperate with the southern expeditionary army.

Originally, Xue Leihan had served as the Qingzhou Biejia in Qingzhou for a long time and already had the ability to manage politics.

Although he is still young, he volunteered to go to the front line in person, which is commendable for his courage. It is not an exaggeration to be promoted to the first level to act as governor of a state.

"So that's it." After listening to Xue Leihan's words, Chen Yue nodded in realization, and then said with a face of joy: "That just solves our urgent need. I am short of manpower."

The people in Chenyue are all members of the military. It turned out that the officials in Lingzhou either ran away or were killed. Now all kinds of government affairs are on hold and can only be taken over by the army. It is really difficult to handle them.

Moreover, the army will go to war sooner or later, and it cannot be held back by various government affairs all the time.

"Yucheng has told me about the situation in Lingzhou, and I have also transferred some people from Qingzhou. At present, it is barely enough to maintain the situation in Lingzhou City." Xue Leihan said in a deep voice.

The meaning behind Xue Leihan's words was self-evident. There was really no manpower available to deal with the cities that had just been recovered.

"It's okay, let's deal with Lingzhou City first." Chenyue waved his hand: "Those cities have just been recovered and may fall into war at any time, so don't worry."

"Then I will take over the government affairs immediately." Xue Leihan stood up impatiently.

Chenyue and Chu Yucheng were stunned, and now they started to take action?

"Lord Governor? Why don't you take a rest?" Chen Yue joked as he glanced at Xue Leihan who stood up.

"Haha!" Xue Leihan laughed and walked out the door: "I'm here to work, not to rest!"

Looking at Xue Leihan who left the house in a hurry, after having been Qingzhou Biejia for so long, the strong aura of a young man from aristocratic family has gradually been smoothed away, and his sharpness has been restrained, replaced by a mature and steady one.

Chenyue laughed for a while, and then said to Chu Yucheng in a slightly serious tone: "Senior Mo has estimated that the fine iron you brought back can only equip 10,000 soldiers, which is a bit difficult to handle!"

"Ten thousand?" Chu Yucheng was a little surprised. After all, he had worked hard for so many days and had brought back a lot.

However, iron ore is not something that the government has hoarded in large quantities. Coupled with the severe cold weather in winter, mining in various places has stopped one after another, so what can be raised is already the limit.

"Yeah, it's only ten thousand, so think about it, how can you use these ten thousand people to eat up the vine armor soldiers!" Chen Yue posed a difficult problem to Chu Yucheng.

"There are twenty to thirty thousand vine armor soldiers!" Chu Yucheng rolled his eyes at Chenyue. Then he started to hold his chin with one hand and stared at the water glass in front of him in a daze, looking at the wisps of hot steam coming out of the glass.

In the next few days, Xue Leihan let everyone know what it means to specialize in a skill. Although he is not good at military affairs, his ability to handle government affairs is fully worthy of the position of governor of a state. Compared with Chen Yue's subordinates, he is

Much more handy.

Originally, in the city, in addition to the people from Lingzhou City, there were also people who had fled from various counties in the county. Those who had no houses to live in took shelter in the tents set up by the Liangzhou Army. As the number of refugees increased, the number of tents became larger and larger.

There were many tents everywhere on both sides of the road, and Lingzhou City seemed chaotic for a while.

In addition, in order to prevent spies and people who took advantage of the situation, Chenyue had to send more troops to maintain order in the city, which might reduce the number of troops that could be used in future battles.

As soon as Xue Leihan took office, he immediately divided Lingzhou City into eight administrative areas temporarily, and assigned the officials he brought to take charge respectively. The refugees were distributed among the areas. In order to prevent King Fu Xizuo from being mixed into them, all the people in this area were

Registered and not allowed to move around.

The people and refugees in the city can exchange for winter supplies such as grain and cotton-padded clothes from the government through work methods such as building tents and cutting wood.

They also urgently selected many strong men from the local people in Lingzhou City to serve as temporary government servants, and gradually took over the security of Lingzhou City from the army.

Government orders were issued in an orderly manner from the governor's office, and the officials below began to work at high speed. Within a few days, the tents that could be seen everywhere on the road were swept away, and they were all concentrated in the specially framed open space in each area.

The newly appointed officials took people from house to house and began to count the population and register the population. Yamen also took to the streets to maintain order, and Lingzhou City gradually became orderly.

Xue Leihan's work efficiency completely put Chen Yue and others to shame.

Under the diligent work of the Shanziying soldiers day and night, new weapons were continuously delivered to the carefully selected right cavalry soldiers.

After discussion, the eight thousand soldiers of the right cavalry were fully equipped with a scimitar and a spear, and the extra two thousand spears were allocated to Chen Yue's two thousand pro-army troops.

Xue Meng stood at the door of the armory, eagerly watching the weapons he had made with his own hands being moved away batch by batch by the Right Cavalry Army, feeling extremely reluctant to part with them.

He has seen with his own eyes the sharpness of the new sword. Compared with the sword he used, it is simply several grades better. If Chen Yue had not had a military order in front of him, he would have taken thousands of new swords to equip Shanzi Camp.

.

Bu Wenshan put his hands behind his back, stood beside Xue Meng with a smile, humming a tune non-stop, and the raised corners of his mouth almost touched the base of his ears.

The right cavalry sergeants who were carrying weapons were all smiling, which was in sharp contrast to the Shanziying soldiers around them who looked very disappointed.

"General Xue." Bu Wenshan grinned and patted Xue Meng on the shoulder: "When my right cavalry army defeats the Tengjia soldiers, General Chen will definitely give you a share of the credit! Haha!"

Bu Wenshan, who had just finished speaking, laughed and walked out. Looking at the seemingly relaxed Bu Wenshan, Xue Meng felt a slight soreness on the tip of his nose. He knew very well that the number of these vine armor soldiers was several times that of the right cavalry army.

I'm afraid it will be a bloody battle.

"May the officers and men of the right cavalry army exaggerate the prestige of our Liangzhou army!"

Xue Meng looked at the backs of everyone and suddenly shouted angrily.

"Promote the power of our army!"

More than a thousand Shanzi camp soldiers clenched their fists with one hand and roared in unison.

When the right cavalry soldier carrying his weapon heard the shouting, he stopped in unison, and under the leadership of Bu Wenshan, turned around and shouted:

"In our lofty Liangzhou, who is afraid of death!"

Mo Xuzi in the camp actually put away his old naughty appearance and looked at these Liangzhou men with deep eyes, feeling deeply moved.

The winter wind is strong and murderous intent arises.
