Gao Yuan's idea of going back to Jishi City to spend the New Year with his wife and son on the hot kang was completely bankrupt, and after adjusting a series of layouts of the Hetao, he calculated that if he set off, he would have to spend the New Year on the middle of the road, so he simply decided to spend the New Year in the Hetao, and come to a place to have fun with the soldiers and the people, of course, this year was not spent in the Pioneer City, but to the political and economic center of the Hetao that Gao Yuan set to rule in the future, Dayan City.

Sun Xiao's headquarters of the Northern Field Army was also stationed here. All of a sudden, the generals of Dayan City gathered, and the Hetao was completely in the hands of the Eastern Army, and they were not afraid of any tricks played by the Donghu people.

After three days of excitement, the commanders of the various military horses have embarked on the way home, as Gao Yuan said, the Long March, they have only now completed the first step, and the days after tomorrow are long, in this New Year, Yan Peng, Xu Yuan, Luo Weiran, Chen Bin including Ning Xin and other senior generals heard the lofty grand plan for the first time, thrilling at the same time, but also excited, the husband is alive, since the wind and clouds, Fang does not live up to the world.

People should be heroes, and death is also a ghost, every time I think of the heroic words thrown out when I raised my wine glass to toast everyone, everyone was shocked in their hearts.

And what made them even more excited was that Gao Yuan unscrupulously revealed to them his ambition to dominate the world, which is the voice that will only be confided in them if they are truly regarded as confidants, and this is what they value the most.

After the third day of the Lunar New Year, most of the generals have left, and there are only a few Chen Bin left in Dayan City, Chen Bin stayed, mainly to wait for the latest batch of ordnance delivered from Jishi City, Gao Yuan has promised this batch of ordnance to equip them first, because they are on the front line of the enemy Donghu, Chen Bin wants to escort this batch of ordnance to Tengger together.

"Hetao, I am going to turn into two counties, one is this Dayan County, and the other is the other. It's called Hetao County. Sitting in front of the warm brazier, Gao Yuan stretched out his hands and roasted his hands, and said to Sun Xiao beside him while tilting his head. In the room, only he was left, Sun Xiao, and the other was Ning Xin.

"I am going to set up the Eastern Capital Protectorate here, to take charge of Dayan County and Hetao County, and at the same time to supervise the conquest of Donghu by the Northern Group Army, and then take Donghu in the future. Liaodong County was also set up, which was also under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Capital Protectorate, so as to serve as the rear base camp for my conquest of the world. ”

"Isn't the power of this Eastern Capital Protectorate too great?" Ning Xin said in a low voice on the side: "The territory under my jurisdiction is almost larger than the entire Yan Country. ”

"Therefore, I want an absolutely loyal person to take charge of the Eastern Capital Protectorate." Gao Yuan looked at Sun Xiao. "Sun Xiao, are you willing to take up the position of the protector of the Eastern Capital?"

Sun Xiao's body trembled, just now Gao Yuan said that he wanted an absolutely loyal person to take this position, and then called him by name. Apparently there is absolute trust in him.

"The governor trusts, and Sun Xiaowan will not give up."

"Don't say anything unlucky about the New Year." Gao Yuan smiled: "If only Li'er knew." It must be disrespected, Sun Xiao, the two of us are poor friends, and we have come all the way. You, Lao Cao, and those old brothers. They are all the people I trust the most, if you can take on this position, I will be able to fight in the front without two uses, as Ning Xin said, the territory under your jurisdiction is vast, it is the rear of our army, and in the future, it will become our granary, arsenal and strategic rear. Within two years, I will immigrate 200,000 to Hetao, this number, I have made it very clear to Jiang Lao in the letter, I don't care whether they are deceived or come up with any other way, within two years, I want your Dingkou in the Eastern Capital Protectorate to reach this number, plus the Huns, the conquered Donghu region in the future, the people of the entire Eastern Capital Protectorate, will reach one million. ”

"The territory is so big, the requirements of the governor are so high, the affairs of the capital protection government must be extremely complicated, and Commander Sun is also the commander of the Northern Field Army, the governor, you are only afraid that it will be difficult for the strongman, even if Commander Sun is young and strong, and he will work hard, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it." Just a conquest of Donghu is already a difficult task, not to mention such a complicated civil administration. Ning Xin shook her head and said.

Sun Xiao was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Ning Xin for a long time, looked at the slightly hooked arc at the corner of her mouth, suddenly realized in his heart, turned his head, and looked at Gao Yuan, "Governor, Vice President Ning is right, his subordinates' energy and ability are limited, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will ignore my head and feet, and make mistakes at both ends. ”

Gao Yuan groaned: "You have always been in the army, and you will no longer be in charge of the army, are you used to it?" ”

Sun Xiao said with a smile: "In fact, I have long intended to resign from the post of commander, thanks to the importance of the governor, for so many years, I have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but my own family knows my own affairs, when there were few commanders in the past, I didn't feel anything, and now I suddenly want to command a large army of tens of thousands of people, and I am unable to do it, and I am trembling every day, for fear that I will miss the governor's major event, you see, the gray hair on my head has increased a lot, and this is all after coming to Hetao." ”

Hearing Sun Xiao speak in a harmonious manner, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing, "It's really a lot of gray hair." ”

"Like this Hetao battle, if it weren't for the governor personally rushing over, I really don't have confidence that I will fight to what point, and it is this battle that has made me completely see where the limit of my ability is, I have long wanted to unload this burden, but I am afraid that the governor will reprimand me for not wanting to take responsibility, so I have been dragging it off, and now I have just got it, I am too late to be happy!" Sun Xiao continued.

"It's okay, this Eastern Capital Protector will become my rear base camp in the future, there are indeed a lot of affairs, and it is okay for you to go to the military position, but who do you think is suitable for this position besides you?" Takato asked.

"If the governor decides to be promoted in the Eastern Army, in fact, there are very few candidates, nothing more than Xu Yuan and Yan Peng, both of whom have their own strengths, and in terms of military strategy, there is little difference."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "What did you mean when you said this, did you support Xu Yuan?" ”

Sun Xiao smiled, "A little careful thinking, after all, I can't hide the fiery eyes of the governor, Xu Yuan is an old brother after all, we have been together since the battle of Yuyang, this time the battle, although the light is inferior to Yan Peng, but I feel more at ease, in the future, I will deal with him in this Donghu Mansion, and the cooperation will be more tacit, of course, this is just my construction." ”

"If you talk about strategic vision and tactical use, I think Luo Weiran is more suitable." Gao Yuan shook his head, "But where is his qualifications, it is impossible to surpass Yan Peng and Xu Yuan." ”

"What the Governor said is that if it is really Luo Weiran, the Northern Group Army is only afraid that it will be chaotic, and it is unlikely that Yan Peng and Xu Yuan will follow Luo Weiran's leadership." Although he knew that Gao Yuan admired Luo Weiran very much, Sun Xiao never thought that Gao Yuan would still have this thought, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Governor, I also think Xu Yuan is more suitable." Ning Xin suddenly said on the side: "Yan Peng's father, Yan Yizheng, is in the center, if Yan Peng is in charge of a group army alone, he will inevitably have too much power, and he still needs to press it." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, "Since this is the case, then Xu Yuan will be the commander of the group army, Luo Weiran will be transferred to the first army as the commander, Xu Yuanjun is slightly no worse than Yan Peng, and his qualifications are older, he was promoted to this position, Yan Peng should also have nothing to say, of course, there is something to be unconvinced, but Luo Weiran was pulled up by him, Luo Weiran became the commander of the first army, for him, it can be regarded as a comfort, in the future, between the two of them, there may be no less contradictions, you must mediate from it, if you miss the official business because of the battle of will, Then I'm going to get their heads."

"This subordinate can save it!" Sun Xiao nodded.

"Xu Yuan has a domineering temperament, and Yan Pengmian hides needles in him, but these two people are obedient to you, the old boss, and it is also a great credit to you to be able to make the two of them work together." High and far-reaching." Luo Weiran is a good person, and he can also be a buffer between the two of them."

"Subordinates remember."

"It's good that you know this appointment, don't leak it out yet, but you can set up the shelves of the Eastern Capital Protectorate first, and after I go back to discuss with Mr. Jiang and them, I will officially write the text, and I will also send some people from Jishi City, the first crash course of Jishi City University will graduate after the year, and when the time comes, I will send you some such newcomers over, the newcomers have no experience, but they are better at training, and they are enterprising, and there is no such slippery style of old officials, you newly set up an official office, I don't want to become an old yamen." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"That's great!" Sun Xiao said excitedly: "Don't say anything else, it's just that there are too few literate people here to read and write, and it's overstretched to break one into two, and this is a big problem for me."

Ning Xin smiled and said to Sun Xiao: "Congratulations to Commander Sun first, the Supervision Yuan will also set up a branch here, and the little girl will also serve as the first director here, and I will ask Sun Duhu to take care of it in the future."

Looking at Ning Xin, who was smiling, Sun Xiao couldn't help but have a headache, the Supervision Yuan has always been a headache for people, he can't forget that he was also beaten by the Board of Military Justice of the predecessor of the Supervision Yuan. And this Ning Xin's identity is extremely special, he always looks a little weird between him and Du Du, and Du Du also trusts her very much, just by talking to himself about these things, he doesn't avoid her, it can be seen, such a big god stays on his own territory, it is really not so pleasant, oh yes, there is more than one, there is also a Helan instructor.

"Vice Dean Ning is only acting temporarily, and when something is done, she will go back." As if he had seen through Sun Xiao's thoughts, Gao Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "However, Vice Dean Ning has important things to do during this period, and you must ensure that she has the funds and manpower here."
