"PS: I went to the hospital today to dispense medicine, not because of my spine, but because of a toothache. There is nothing to look at in the spine, the doctor only said to pay attention to maintenance, move your neck from time to time, and don't sit for hours at once, but the problem is that the code word needs to be written for a few hours, no way. The second one is going to be late, sorry.'"

———— the following text————

On the evening of June 30, Chen Lang, who was newly promoted to the rank of county governor, held a banquet in his mansion, not only to celebrate Zhao Yu's transformation from a 'fake captain' to a 'captain', but also to celebrate his own promotion from the county warden Shi Gao to the post of county governor.

However, due to the defection of the former governor Cao Suo and the illness of Li Jun, the banquet was held quite low-key, in addition to inviting Liu Tu, Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Xun Yi and others, Chen Lang only invited one official, that is, his former lieutenant, Cui Zhi.

It is worth mentioning that before inviting Cui Zhi, Chen Lang vaguely mentioned this matter to Zhao Yu, and judging by his attitude, most likely he wanted to recommend Cui Zhi to serve as the county guard.

In all fairness, Zhao Yu is more inclined to recommend Xun Yi, after all, this is his old acquaintance, and he has helped Zhao Yu a lot, if it weren't for Xun Yi to maintain Zhao Yu everywhere in Xuchang back then, Zhao Yu might still be a bandit?

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Yu bluntly mentioned the matter, Xun Yi himself resigned the matter to Zhao Yu, saying that the official position of the county warden Shi was not suitable for him, and even, if it were not for the current rebels still being a disaster for Yingchuan, he even hoped to resign from Gongcao's position to join the army, and revisit the county seat under the rule of Yingchuan County as a post supervisor to supervise the governance of the local county order.

Zhao Yu is not surprised by this, after all, compared with Chen Lang, Xun Yi is a different type of official, the kind of official who is really worried about the country and the people, and regards fame and fortune as nothing.

Of course, there is another reason because Xun Yi is currently creating the 'Xuchang Brotherhood' with Chen Zucao, preparing to unite the people in Xuchang City to fight against the rebels, so naturally he has no time to take care of the duties of the county guard.

Therefore, Chen Lang invited Cui Zhi.

Chen Lang can install his own people in the county guard's mansion, and Zhao Yu can naturally install his own people in the Governor's Office, such as Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Chu Yan, and even Ma Gai and so on.

became a lieutenant himself, so his brothers naturally had to take care of it.

I have to say that Cao Suo's rebellion and absconding can be said to have done Zhao Yu a great favor, firstly, Xuchang completely fell into the hands of Zhao Yu, and secondly, he was angry with Li Junshou, and even Cao Suo's mansion was confiscated by the county government - considering Chen Lang's acquaintance, he would most likely repair this mansion, and then arrange it under Zhao Yu's name for various reasons as Zhao Yu's mansion in Xuchang.

The only thing that made Zhao Yu feel depressed was that the 10,000 county troops that Cao Suo took to Yingyin were almost wiped out.

Of course, the total annihilation mentioned here does not mean that the 10,000 county troops are really all dead, in fact, there are still about a few dozen people who fled back to Xuchang, according to these county soldiers who fled back, at least four or five thousand county troops were captured by the rebels and imprisoned in Yingyin.

Zhao Yu guessed that most of the two scholars, Tian Qin and Liao Guang, who did not agree to assist Cao Suo's rebellion, were also imprisoned in Yingyin.

Therefore, the current situation can be described as a mixed blessing for Zhao Yu: the good news is that no one can shake his position as the captain; The worry is that the rebels of Xiang Xuan and others still have an overwhelming advantage.

The next day, that is, on the first day of the seventh month, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Niu Heng, and He Shun to the Governor's Office.

When going to his house, the guards and officials of the Governor's Office he met along the way all saluted Zhao Yu respectfully.

Obviously, these people are aware of what happened yesterday.

Soon after coming to his room, Gong Cao Shi Wang Tao, Gong Cao Shuzuo Feng Ji, as well as Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Han He and several people came to see Zhao Yu one after another.

Don't look at it, today is not the first day for Zhao Yu to enter the Governor's Office, but it is undeniable that today is of great significance, representing that Zhao Yu came to this Governor's Office as a real Captain, so the officials in the Governor's Office spontaneously came to meet Zhao Yu to see what instructions Zhao Yu had.

And in fact, Zhao Yu didn't have any instructions, the so-called three fires of the new official took office, he almost put the ground a few days ago, and the lieutenant department saw him up and down, who was not respectful?

In the end, Zhao Yu left Qin Yu, Jia Shu, and Han He to discuss countermeasures, and ordered the others to go back to their respective posts—oh, and Gong Cao Shuzuo Feng Ji remained, as he was responsible for recording some of Zhao Yu's orders.

Seeing him, Zhao Yu thought of one thing, turned his head and told Han He: "By the way, yesterday I promised on the west city wall that as long as I repelled the attack of the rebels, I would reward the west city wall with another one million dollars, Han He, you will negotiate this matter with the county guard, and ask the county guard to take out two million dollars and reward the soldiers of the west and east city walls." ”

"Obedience."

Han He replied.

Of course, he knew that with the fall of Li Junshou's illness, the county guard's mansion was now presided over by Chen Lang, the county guard, and Chen Lang was looking at the Zhou Duwei in front of him, and two million dollars was nothing at all.

"Okay, now let's talk about how to deal with the problem at hand."

Zhao Yu set his eyes on Qin Yu and Jia Shu, and said with a smile: "Which of you two will come first?" ”

Qin Yu and Jia Shu glanced at each other, and then Jia Shu said with a smile: "Then let the lowly position come first, let Qin Yu speak first, and the lowly position will not have to be said." ”

As he spoke, he restrained the smile on his face under Zhao Yu's slight nodding motion, and said with a straight face: "This Cao Suo rebellion has advantages and disadvantages for Xuchang, and there is not much to say about the advantages and lowliness, as for the disadvantages, 10,000 county soldiers are equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army, plus yesterday's casualties, there are now less than 15,000 soldiers available in the city...... Before, maybe Xiang Xuan and others did not know the specific number of troops in Xuchang City, but with Cao Suo's rebellion, the truth in Xuchang City could not be concealed from Xiang Xuan, although there were various signs that Xiang Xuan was not willing to attack Xuchang, but if there was no other way, I don't think he would continue to besiege without attacking. Therefore, in this matter, I advise the lieutenant to be on guard. ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Regarding this matter, Xun Senjun is forming a militia......

"What do you mean by that?" Number Five

Jia Shu pondered for a moment and said: "The militia in Kunyang back then, with all due respect, was not a force that could influence the battle situation at first, and what was really trustworthy was the well-trained soldiers after all. …… With all due respect, if it weren't for the 3,000 Nanyang Army, if it weren't for the Black Tigers and the Kunyang County Army, Kunyang would not have been able to stop the rebels' offensive. ”

"What do you mean......"

"The last general suggested that troops be transferred from the three counties of Kunyang." Jia Shu hugged his fists and said: "At present, Xuchang is far inferior to the rebels in terms of the number of soldiers and generals, and the only thing we can do is to defend the city; Kunyang, on the other hand, has a surplus of troops, especially generals. …… Even if the army can't move lightly, the lieutenant should transfer a few more generals to Xuchang, such as Chen Mo and Wang Qing......"

Zhao Yu smiled when he heard this: "Jia Shu, do you also know Chen Mo and Wang Qing? ”

Jia Shu said with a smile: "Although I didn't participate in the Battle of Kunyang at that time, the last general had heard of the prestige of Commander Chen and Commander Wang. ”

"Hmm......"

Zhao Yu nodded, thoughtful.

Chen Mo and Wang Qing, including Chu Yan, who has not yet had any experience in large-scale operations, can be called the most outstanding general in his Black Tiger Village, although these three people may not be able to recognize a few words, but they are victorious in combat bravery, especially in terms of boosting morale, they have an innate charm, and after a little tempering, they are enough to become a general who can sit on one side, Zhao Yu thinks that he will not be inferior to that Xuan.

And the problem is that now Chen Mo is in Kunyang and Chu Yan is in Yingyang, the only one who can be transferred is Wang Qing, and Wang Qing is a person...... Ability is ability, but his character, how to say it, is strange and annoying, sometimes even to him will speak in a weird way, let alone to other people.

Transferring this guy to Xuchang, Zhao Yu really didn't think it was a good idea.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu finally made a decision, that is, to ask Chu Yan, Cao Wu, Ju Sheng, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma to lead the 4,000 brigade camp to Xuchang, and as for Yingyang, it was handed over to Wang Qing to guard.

In this way, Chu Yan can not only be trained in Xuchang under his care, but also release the beast Wang Qing, which can contain Xiang Xuan and Yan Xuan to a certain extent.

『…… Well, we have to let Ma Gai watch him, lest that guy go too crazy.'"

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu drafted a list, recommending Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Chu Yan as the lieutenants of the department, and moved Ma Gai to the lieutenant of Yingyang County.

As for the position of lieutenant of Kunyang County, Zhao Yu weighed it for a long time and decided to promote Ishihara.

After all, the promotion of Ishihara is equivalent to encircling Ishihara, Chen Gui, Xu Bai, and Wang Ping at once, and this transaction is not a loss.

After drawing up the list, Zhao Yu summoned Wang Tao, a Gong Cao official, and instructed the latter to report to the county guard in accordance with the procedure.

In just an hour, the county guard office passed Zhao Yu's draft list, and even prepared a letter of appointment, which was forwarded to Zhao Yu by Wang Tao.

"Is this what it's like to be in power and unrestrained?"

I have to say that even Zhao Yu can't help but be a little excited at this moment.

In addition to being excited, he immediately summoned Liu Tu and instructed the latter: "Liu Tu, you personally go to Kunyang and Yingyang, and hand over these appointments to Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Chu Yan, Ma Gai, and Shi Yuan." ”

Knowing that Chen Mo and the others were appointed by Zhao Yu as the commander of the department, Liu Tu was also excited in his heart.

After all, he is an old brother under Chen Mo, first, he is happy for Chen Mo, and secondly, Chen Mo has been promoted, won't it be his turn next?

However, when he found out that Ishihara was actually among the first batch of people to be promoted, this made Liu Tu mutter: "Why is there still that kid from Ishihara?" Great Chief, why don't you promote our own brethren? ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said nothing.

Is Ishihara an outsider? It may have been, but now, this person has already joined his Zhao Yu forces in a daze, and even Ishihara himself no longer dares to pat his chest and say that he has nothing to do with the black tiger thief.

"If you are envious, I may have you a county lieutenant?"

Zhao Yu smiled and teased: "As long as you can learn hundreds of commonly used words." ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Tu was completely silent, he had long been qualified to be promoted to Daiben, but he was stuck in the matter of literacy.

Thinking of the words that made his head big, Liu Tu said with an ugly face, "I, I think I'm still a reckless general who charges into battle." ”

"Hahahaha."

On the side, Niu Heng, who only recognized his name, pointed at Liu Tu and laughed, completely unconscious.

Three days later, Liu Tu arrived in Yingyang and Kunyang with these letters of appointment.
