"The soldiers of the Gansu-Shaanxi Guards Station are drawn from various places in the Gansu-Shaanxi region. Their generals are mixed and have varying abilities. They can be generals, but they must not be in command."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Su Zhenting and said: "As for the Liaodong Army, although Su Pingbei has passed, his age, qualifications, ability, and character are not qualified at all."
Su Zhenting nodded and said: "What His Highness said is true. Su Pingbei can only serve as a charge general. In such a large-scale city defense battle, it is necessary to have a veteran general who is familiar with the city defense, has prestige, and has sufficient qualifications to take command in order to convince the crowd.
"
"Wu Qingcang was recognized as the successor to the Military God. Although he had to hide his name for twenty years for some reason, he did not lose his prestige and did not lose any of his abilities. He can be a commander, and Wu Bishan, the guard general of Crescent Pass, can be appointed as deputy commander.
"
At this time, Hu Shifan put forward a different opinion. He hesitated and said: "Your Highness, it is most taboo in the army for brothers to hold the same commander's seal. Even if two brothers join the army at the same time, they must be assigned different numbers, whether it is General Wu Qingcang or Wu Ban.
General Shan, his qualifications, prestige, and ability are all indescribable, but for this reason, if the two brothers share the commander-in-chief, might it lead to over-centralization of military power?"
Hu Shifan's words were very explicit and direct, but he didn't say it outright because he was afraid that the two would have too much power and cause huge trouble to the court.
But when Li Chen heard the words, he said directly: "It doesn't matter. Don't trust the people you use, and don't use the people you doubt. The battle situation on the front line is changing rapidly. If there is no trustworthy commander, and we are facing a powerful enemy like the Liao Army's 600,000-strong army, we can only
I'm afraid that I'm going to throw eggs at stones even more, but I've already made up my mind on this matter."
Seeing that Li Chen had made a decision, Hu Shifan also suppressed his thoughts, and joined Su Zhenting in cupping his hands and saying, "Old minister, I obey."
Half an hour later, the two of them left the East Palace together.
Li Chen just sat down and took a sip of tea when someone was announced from outside.
After a while, Zhou Pingan walked into the side hall unhurriedly, bowed politely and said: "My humble minister Zhou Pingan, I wish to see His Royal Highness the Thousand Years Old."
Li Chen held the teacup and said with a smile: "I was just thinking that you should come to the capital, so here you are."
Zhou Ping'an squeezed out a little smile on his expressionless face all year round and said: "Your Highness has summoned you, and I dare not neglect you."
"Well, it's good. It seems that this trip to Nanhe Province is the right one. I've learned to pick up nice things to say."
Li Chen said with a smile, then changed the topic and said: "This time, I ask you to be the governor of the tax desk. I have high hopes for you."
Zhou Ping'an thought for a moment and said something shocking, "Indeed."
When these two words came out, Wan Jiaojiao's eyes widened with astonishment, and even Li Chen was stunned.
After a long while, Li Chen smiled and cursed: "You are really rude."
Sure enough, this was the Zhou Pingan he was familiar with.
He doesn't talk much, but every time he says something, it can make people feel astonished.
The most important thing is that this ability is really strong.
If you leave others alone and go to Nanhe alone in such an emergency situation, it would be good if you don't get cut. Being able to protect yourself from being ignored is considered a talent, but Zhou Ping'an abruptly completed all the tasks given to him by Li Chen.
In the province of Nanhe, let him alone, without spending a single soldier, will be able to serve him obediently.
Zhou Ping'an cupped his hand and said: "His Highness's new policy, I have the honor to read it. It seems that the three provinces of civil servants and the three offices of military officers are the biggest changes, but in fact, this tax desk is the trump card that best reflects the political aspirations and ambitions of His Highness."
"Therefore, His Highness can hand over such a killer weapon to Wei Chen, and naturally he has placed high hopes on Wei Chen."
