Chapter 63: The Visitation

In the next few days, Liu Feng took a group of personal guards under the guidance of Deng Junliang, Zeng Xiangru, and Zeng Xiangwu brothers, and visited the territory of Cizhou, which allowed Liu Feng to find some shadows of later generations.

Nowadays, there are only two places left in Cizhou, Wei County and Linzhang, which belong to the alluvial fan plain of the Zhanghe River, the terrain is gently inclined from west to east, the surface is flat, and the cultivated land is broad. The soil was deposited by the silt of the Zhanghe River, and Liu Feng's former fertile oily land was full of emotion as to why these lands were barren.

On the south bank of Zhangshui in Wei County, Deng Junliang took Liu Feng to visit the ruined cauldron. In the territory of Linzhang, Liu Feng is the ruins of Yedu, as well as the ruins of the Tongque Terrace of "Tongque Palace Deep Lock Erqiao", but they are also destroyed by the war.

The situation in the two counties is very bad, a large amount of cultivated land is abandoned, the villagers in the county have fled, leaving some old and weak in the city, and Liu Feng can't understand why such good conditions are used, and the natural conditions in these two counties are much stronger than those around Liujiabao.

In Linzhang City, Liu Feng stopped, the former county seat adjacent to Liujiabao would only be defeated to such an extent, it was really hard for him to believe. The size of Linzhang City reminds the world that it once had glory, and now there are only a few shops scattered on one street, selling grain, rice, groceries and the like. The streets are full of potholes, and the ruins of some houses have not been cleaned up, and this war-torn county is surviving.

Most of the villagers on the street were also in rags, and the sergeants who entered the city with numb eyes, Linzhang had a team from the Cizhou Middle Battalion stationed, and after receiving a message from the guards, a lean captain came to Liu Feng and others to report.

Reluctantly in Linzhang after a night, Liu Feng embarked on the road back to the city, although the scenery of this road is still good, riding on a horse, full of green, especially the trees in the two counties are quite abundant, the green shade is connected together, all kinds of game is also quite a lot, from time to time can also villagers in the forest to catch the game belly, to make Liu Feng also realize that the biggest crisis in Cizhou is not the problem of internal development, but to solve the problem of suffering from war at all times.

Liu Feng, who was riding on a horse, was sorting out the harvest of these days, and he secretly estimated that there were more than 6,000 hectares of land in Linzhangwei County that could be cultivated, and if these lands could be developed, these lands could feed more than 400,000 villagers. The fertile land under the hoof, Liu Feng's heart swelled with pride, and the barren Liujiabao was shining with his own efforts, not to mention Cizhou, which had such good conditions.

Thinking of this, he rode his horse and whipped up, raised his arms on the horse, and let out a long howl to the sky, these days were affected by the tragic situation of the villagers in Cizhou, and those unhappy hearts also went with this long howl, he couldn't stop what happened before, but he could work hard for the future.

Seeing this, the people who followed him also roared in unison, as if saying goodbye to the current situation, and also as if celebrating the days to come.

……

Liu Feng, who returned from Linzhang, summoned Deng Junliang's father and son, Zeng Yu's father and son, and others in the conference hall, and discussed it intensively.

It wasn't until the last day that Zeng Yu and the others were all speechless by Liu Feng that Liu Feng made a decision on some matters to discuss.

"Xiangru, from today on, you will be the assassin of Cizhou, responsible for all government affairs in Cizhou City!" Liu Feng Zhengse said to Zeng Xiangru that after these days of observation, Liu Feng found that Zeng Xiangru was open-minded and had his own opinions on government affairs.

Zeng Xiangru originally looked quiet and steady, but after listening to Liu Feng's words, after he made sure again and again, he knew that he had heard correctly, and said with a little excitement: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the city lord!" He was so embarrassed that he called Liu Feng a little embarrassed. However, Zeng Xiangru's excitement is also understandable, Zeng Yu was originally a military general, but his eldest son was so literary and disgusted with martial arts, Zeng Yu has always been his son, and now Zeng Xiangru is under one person in Cizhou!

The way he moves, Deng Jieyu is the most able to understand this mood, he is just the opposite, the son of the wise man is good at martial arts, and laughed in Zeng Xiangru's ear: "Xiangru doesn't have to be so excited, so Uncle Zeng will give you a salute on the occasion, think of this, should you be relieved!" Although he was talking in a suppressed voice, he still let the deaf Zeng Yu hear it, and he glanced at him embarrassedly and didn't say anything.

For Liu Feng's promotion to Zeng Xiangru's approach, everyone did not have much resistance, in the past few days, Liu Feng gave them too many feelings, especially when Zeng Xiangru debated with him, the two people were sometimes indistinguishable, but they were still very envious of Zeng Xiangru who could get this high position at a young age, everyone sent congratulations to Zeng Xiangru, of course, the most satisfying thing for him was the recognition of his father Zeng Yu.

After a while, seeing that everyone was quieter, Liu Feng said slowly: "Mr. Wolong's "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War" has this description in the division, "In this way, the army will be cut by the general" and said: 'If you see its emptiness, you will advance, and if you see the truth, you will retreat.' Don't be a slut because of your wealth, don't disobey the public with your own opinions, and don't lose your faithfulness because of your power. If you don't sit, don't sit, don't eat, don't eat, with the cold and heat, and so on, and so on, all of them are in danger; In this way, the sun will surely die, and the enemy will die. As he spoke, he picked up the tiger talisman in his hand, paused, and sang: "Zeng Yu received the talisman!" ”

Zeng Yu bowed forward a little sluggishly, holding the tiger talisman in both hands, Liu Feng continued: "I borrowed Mr. Wolong's mentorship and gave it to you, hoping that you can lead the Cizhou side of the army!" ”

He was a little confused and said, "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the city lord!" Immediately hugged his fist and saluted, after feeling that something was wrong, he stood up again, and saluted Liu Feng with the military salute he had just learned, but it was indeed heavy, his iron fist hammered on the steel armor, and the sound of the bang resounded throughout the entire conference hall, and it also woke up the stunned people. Liu Feng's order made everyone stunned, the highest leader of the civil affairs is Zeng Xiangru, and the top leader of the army is Zeng Yu, and the Zeng family seems to have a sense of dominance in Cizhou.

This is also something that Zeng Yu doesn't understand, and what Deng Junliangfeng did is also a little confused, he doesn't know that Liu Feng aggressively asked Zeng Yu to hand over the military power on the day of the discussion, and why he easily returned it to Zeng Yu today. And even without their own constraints.

In fact, Liu Feng's inner thoughts are very simple, Cizhou City will not be the focus of Cizhou direction, he wants to focus on Cizhou's side in Linzhang, there is Cizhou in front of the block, he is so vigorous to develop Wei County, Linzhang, Wu'an, Shexian and other places, and as Deng Junliang, who is quite experienced in governance, he can't do without, so he can only let Zeng Xiangru replace him. As for handing over the army to Zeng Yu, it is because his pure reputation military level is at least much stronger than himself, and the Cizhou Tiger Guard Army has not become strong, so he still has to rely on this experienced veteran more.

Ignoring everyone's doubts, Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "This is the end of today's council, and tomorrow the new Assassin Commander will announce their respective appointments to everyone!" ”

The crowd roared into orders.
