As the morning court dispersed, the news that Chen Yue had appointed the Marquis of Beiliang and led the Beiliang Dao Jiedushi quickly spread throughout the officialdom of the capital as if it had grown wings.

Everyone who heard the news was shocked, wondering how the situation would change with the addition of a Northern Liang Hou, and how should they stand in line?

"Haha, congratulations General!"

A burst of hearty laughter came from the post house where Chen Yue and others were temporarily staying. Several generals were gathering together. There were a few wine glasses on the rare table, and everyone was toasting to drink together.

However, although Chenyue was granted the title of Marquis of Beiliang, Chu Yucheng and other generals still habitually called him general instead of marquis.

Chen Yue raised the wine glass in his hand high, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and stood facing south: "This glass of wine is dedicated to the 40,000 soldiers who died in Liangzhou, who are all good men of Liangzhou!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little tragic.

Chu Yucheng, Zhu Tianhe, Xue Tian, ​​Ye Xiaoxiao, and Bu Wenshan stood up at the same time, followed Chen Yue and bowed deeply to the south. Then everyone tilted their wine glasses and poured the full glasses of fragrant wine into the post house.

above the ground.

After the memorial ceremony, everyone sat down. Chu Yucheng was the first to speak: "I think the Queen Mother's move seemed to be completely beyond the Yuwen family's expectations. Even the Zhao family avoided it. It can be seen that she really spared no effort to win you over."

"Yes." Zhu Tianhe touched the stubble on his cheek and said: "If you stand with the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for our Liangzhou Army to squeeze something out of the hands of the Ministry of Household and Military Affairs in the future.

Already."

The current situation in the DPRK consists of the Shangguan family of the Ministry of Industry, the Zhao family of the Ministry of Personnel, the Xue family of the Ministry of Justice, and Cai Xuewen of the Ministry of Rites. Although the four parties seem to be connected into one, in fact, except for Zhao Zhonghai’s Ministry of Personnel, all have great power.

In addition, the other three bureaus are far less powerful than the Yuwen family's household bureau and military bureau.

And it just so happened that the Liangzhou Army had the most contacts with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. If the Yuwen family thought that Chenyue had completely turned to the Queen Mother, the Liangzhou Army would probably have a difficult life in the future.

After hearing Zhu Tianhe's words, everyone nodded, it would be better for the county magistrate to take charge now.

Chenyue also smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead: "Oh, I know that too, but the Marquis of Beiliang cannot be pushed away."

"Let's take it step by step. Now the general is in charge of the military and political power in Liangyou and Liangyou. When we reach the border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. We have plenty of room for advancement and retreat." Chu Yucheng comforted him.

"No matter." Chen Yue shook his head: "According to the etiquette, the army will stay in the capital for ten days and then set off back to Liangzhou ten days later, just in time for the soldiers to go home for the New Year."

When they heard that they could finally go home, everyone's faces showed a hint of joy.

Chenyue glanced at the highest-ranking generals of the Liang army present, and said in a deep voice: "The war in the southern border is over, we should think about the next step."

Everyone was stunned. From now on, not only Liangzhou, but the entire Beiliang Road will be under everyone's control, and the burden on them becomes heavier and heavier.

Everyone turned their attention to Chu Yucheng. This white-clothed ghost had always acted as a strategist in the army. Of course, they had to see what he had in mind first.

Chu Yucheng chuckled: "The first step is naturally to adjust the military and political leaders of the two places and train the border troops. At least militarily, we must achieve arm-like command of the border troops. Currently, we have more than 60,000 people who are following the Southern Expedition.

The soldiers are all soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles, and their combat power is strong. These 60,000 people can be used to build the skeleton of the Liangzhou frontier army. As for the Youzhou side, it is still necessary to first examine the situation of the generals and generals in the army before making a decision.

Large-scale adjustments to the appointment of Youzhou military officers may cause dissatisfaction among the Youzhou military."

Chu Yucheng spoke eloquently, and it was obvious that he had been planning these words in his mind for a long time.

In fact, Chu Yucheng started planning as soon as he heard that Chen Yue might serve as the military and political commander of Liangyou.

"Haha. You kid, you've been holding back these words for a long time. Why don't you say it even if I don't ask?" Chen Yue hammered Chu Yucheng's arm hard and laughed. Chu Yucheng grinned in pain.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Chenyue paused and said: "I have made up my mind. Chu Yucheng will be appointed as the envoy of Northern Liang. Xue Tian will leave the Zuoqi Army and serve as the general of Liangzhou. Xue Meng will then take over the Zuoqi Army of Liangzhou. Zhu Tianhe

He was appointed deputy general of Liangzhou, and Ye Xiaoxiao took over as the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou Infantry Army. As for Bu Wenshan, aren't you from Youzhou? I intend to let you lead the army in Youzhou. I will wait until the time to see the situation in the army in Youzhou before doing anything.

Decision."

"Should I be appointed as the Protector of Beiliang?" Chu Yucheng was stunned and hesitated: "General Wang Rusong of Youzhou has experienced hundreds of battles. Since the battle of Tianlang, he has a high prestige in the Youzhou army. I will be appointed as the Protector of Beiliang.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince the public.”

"It doesn't matter." Chenyue waved his hand: "General Wang is not a person who covets official position, and he will not be dissatisfied because of this. And don't think that I am nepotistic in letting you serve as the protector of Beiliang. I have taken a fancy to you.

These clever ideas can make our frontier army stronger."

"Haha." Chu Yucheng was not angry at being said to be full of evil ideas. Instead, he felt a warmth rise in his heart. He stood up and pretended to hold his hands in front of him and said: "Chu Yucheng, the envoy of the Northern Liang Commandery, thank you, the Marquis of Northern Liang."

."

Several people in the room started to boo, then stood up and shouted: "I'll thank the Marquis of Beiliang later!"

"Okay, everyone, sit down!" Chen Yue looked at this group of people and rolled his eyelids helplessly.

After the joke was made, Chu Yucheng said seriously: "We can solve the military affairs, but who should be appointed to the post of Northern Liang's envoy? Wen Yuan, the governor of Youzhou, and Zhou Jingyao, the governor of Liangzhou, choose one of them? I

I always feel that it is a bit reluctant for either of the two governors to manage the strategy."

Everyone looked at each other, Liangzhou Army Lieutenant Generals are full of talents, but there are really not many civil servants. Liangzhou is a quiet and bitter cold, and there are not many scholars, let alone talented people.

Chen Yue squinted his eyes and thought, and after a moment said: "I have a candidate for this matter, I will try to contact him in the next few days, and I will make a decision after I have contacted him."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing who Chen Yue was talking about, but if Chen Yue didn't tell them, they wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

"Then I'll listen to you." Chu Yucheng still admired Chen Yue's vision of people.

While everyone was chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room. Xiao Shangwen walked in from the door and said: "General, someone from the palace has sent a message, asking the general to go to Cining Palace for a banquet tomorrow night."

"Cining Palace?" Chenyue was a little confused. Isn't that the residence of the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother wanted to entertain him?

Chu Yucheng banged the table with one hand: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother wants to build a good relationship before you leave, otherwise she won't notify you to go to Cining Palace for the banquet."

"Okay." Chen Yue frowned: "Not only the Queen Mother, there will be movement in those houses in the past few days. It will give me a headache."

Several people laughed. Fortunately, Chen Yue was left to deal with such troublesome matters.
