In Chang'an City, when the grand marriage between the county lord of Shiyi and Wuwei Festival Town and General Qianniuwei became jubilant, in Yingzhou City, Liu Chenglin's general's mansion was also full of guests.

Because Liu Chenglin was stationed in Yingzhou, he was the first line of the enemy Lu Long, of course he could not leave his post and go to Chang'an to get married, but this did not prevent him from holding a banquet in Yingzhou to celebrate.

With the merger of Chengde, Henghai and Zhenwu, Li Ze's power is like the sky, and Liu Chenglin, who is Li Ze's brother-in-law, naturally has a rising status.

Under Li Ze's rule, the division of civil and military rule was implemented, and the 5,000 elites under the command of Liu Chenglin and the 2,000 rangers assigned to Li De were not under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou, but directly under Li Ze. In fact, even Li De is only temporarily assigned to Liu Chenglin. However, all the logistical burdens of this army were jointly raised by Yingzhou and Jingzhou.

Liu Chenglin's military camp is located more than ten miles away from Yingzhou, and in the city, he only owns a mansion.

Yingzhou Thorn Shi Huang De and Changshi Bao Hui are responsible for the entire Yingzhou government affairs, which is also the meaning of checking and balancing Liu Chenglin. The grain and grass raised by the two states are all in the grain depot in Yingzhou City, which is enough for the needs of the Liucheng Forest Department for several months, but Yingzhou only provides grain and grass for the Liubu every ten days.

And Yingzhou, in addition to Liu Chenglin's garrison, there is also a personal army directly under the Assassin's Mansion, under the unified command of Changshi Bao Hui, the number of this pro-soldier is only a few hundred, but the Assassin has the right to temporarily recruit the government soldiers after obtaining the consent of Changshi and Don't Drive, Qingzhuang, there are nearly 50,000 people in Yingzhou City now, if all the people are recruited, they can also immediately pull up a force of thousands of people.

And the arsenal and grain depot in the city are all available, and they can also immediately make these young and strong warriors, of course, the elite level is not mentioned for the time being.

Yingzhou's political reform is almost at the forefront of the eleven states under Li Ze's rule, and the root cause is because Liu Chenglin is Li Ze's brother-in-law, Li Ze is determined to make Yingzhou a model, so that other states can take a good look at it, even his own brother-in-law, can not grasp the military and political affairs, other people, who dares to have such a non-part of the thought, then can only ask, do you want to plot wrong?

Of course, there is still a small part of Yingzhou's territory that has not been completely conquered, and Yingzhou, which is still under military control, has a lot less scruples when it comes to doing certain things.

No matter who dares to blow up the hair, a sentence of Lu Long's traitor can beat him into the Nine Hells, as for whether you are a traitor or not, it doesn't matter, you are in the way and blocking the way, even if you are not a traitor.

Liu Chenglin was very happy. His only sister has finally found the best retreat, the lord of Shiyi, the three-grade fate, has made his sister one of the most noble people in the world, and he can be regarded as letting go of a matter.

He held a banquet in Yingzhou City to entertain visitors from all over the world, and Huang De and Bao Hui were also very interested in the name of the wedding of the festival handsome and the celebration of the whole world, and issued a big finger of wine and meat for the army, and rewarded money, even under the rule of Yingzhou, but all the old people who were over 60 years old could receive ten cents, two catties of meat, and a pot of turbid wine from the local government office.

In fact, not only Yingzhou, but also the eleven states under Li Ze's rule, almost on the same day, also adopted the same methods. Speaking of which, it is quite large, but in fact, except for the army's rewards, the rest is not large, because at this time, there are really not many people over sixty years old, even in places like Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, there are not many, more than sixty years old, then he can definitely be called a person. Although you want to be a human Rui to live more than 100 years old, who makes the average life expectancy of people so low now?

Whether it is really happy or falsely happy, on this day, it is necessary to pretend to be jubilant, especially in Wuyi and Zhenzhou, which are even more colorful and joyful. Li Ze is not there, the former Chengde Festival Marshal's Mansion in Zhenzhou, but the former Chengde Festival Marshal, the current Zhending County King Li Anguo, looks like his body is a lot tougher, happily receiving one after another greeting guests, and the gifts are piled up so that there is almost no space in the treasury of the Jiedu Mansion.

Liu Chenglin's face was full of red light, holding a wine glass, Liu Changfeng was carrying a wine jug, and followed step by step. walked down in the courtyard outside, even if it was just a table with a drink, when he returned to the hall at this moment, Liu Chenglin had drunk a lot. Seeing him enter the main table, everyone at the table in the room stood up.

The person who can sit at the main table has an extraordinary identity.

Yingzhou Thorn Shi Huang De, Chang Shi Bao Hui, they are half masters, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Sun Zhi, who came from Jingzhou on purpose, is Liu Chenglin's old friend, needless to say, and Shenzhou Thorn Shi Duteng actually rushed over. Speaking of which, he was the most embarrassing one under Li Ze's rule, because in the early days, he was one of the people who plotted against Li Ze. It's just that later he saw the form clearly, reined in the precipice, and made meritorious contributions, so his thoughts about scolding Li Ze were even more urgent, and people like Liu Chenglin, of course, he didn't dare to have the slightest neglect. And the others are all some military generals, such as the Ranger commander Li De, Shenzhou Don't drive Li Rui, Liu Chenglin's direct subordinate Hou Fangyu, who is also the eldest son of Cangzhou Assassin Shi Hou Zhen.

"Congratulations to General Liu!" Everyone on the table clasped their fists in congratulations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated, please be seated." Liu Chenglin smiled and sat down on the main seat, while Liu Changfeng carried a wine jug and poured wine glasses for everyone one by one.

"Changfeng, you sit too." Liu Chenglin pointed to the seat opposite.

"General, I'll just stand and pour wine for you." Liu Changfeng said with a smile, although he is also a commander of the army now, he has another identity as Liu Chenglin's family general.

"Today is Miss's big day, and it's also a big day for our Liu family, you can be regarded as someone who watched Miss grow up, sit down." Liu Chenglin said with a smile.

Hou Fangyu on the side pulled Liu Changfeng: "Brother Changfeng, if you don't sit down, stand behind and pour wine for me, where can I still drink this wine, please sit down." ”

After everyone was in place, Yingzhou Thorn Shi Huangde, who was half the master, took the lead in standing up, raised his glass and said: "Everyone, this first glass of wine, we want to salute the handsome and Mrs. Wedding Joy, a hundred years of good together, raise the case with eyebrows, and give birth to a noble son early." ”

Everyone roared and raised their glasses in unison: "Drink to win!" ”

The wine glasses collide crisply.

"For the second glass of wine, we're going to salute General Liu." Du Teng stood up with a smile, "I just don't know when General Liu himself invited us to have a glass of wine?" ”

Everyone laughed, Liu Chenglin raised his wine glass and said: "Naturally, everyone is indispensable, and when Zhang Zhongwu's house is destroyed, I will invite everyone to drink the wedding wine." ”

"In this way, General Liu already has a favorite person, Luo, why don't I know?" Jingzhou Thorn Shi Sun Zhi asked a little narrowly.

"When it's time to get married, there will naturally be, why should the father-in-law have no wife? Come, everyone, drink to win! Liu Chenglin said with a smile.

After two rounds of drinking, Liu Chenglin put down his wine glass and said: "Everyone, the three towns are merged, Li Gong is promoted to the king of Zhending County, and we and others are all added to the rank of knight, we have today, all thanks to the festival marshal, do you think what I said is reasonable?" ”

Now Li Ze is the general of Qianniuwei, and he is on the third grade. And the military attache on the hard life, it is Liu Chenglin who is the most noble, which is naturally stained with the light of Li Ze's brother-in-law, who was named the Yunlu general from the third grade by the emperor, and everyone at the banquet, Li De, Li Rui was awarded the ranger general and guerrilla general from the fifth grade, and Liu Changfeng was also awarded the general of the guide from the fifth grade, which is Hou Fangyu, and now he is also the captain of Zhaowu from the sixth grade.

The civil officials here are also added to the ranks, although there are not many changes in their positions, but the scattered ranks have all climbed up a lot. The assassin is only a minister, maybe there will be no more at some point, but the loose rank is for life. At present, although the Tang Dynasty court is declining, and although the official positions promulgated by the court have greatly reduced their gold content, they are still excellent for improving the prestige of individuals or families.

Just as the transition from a military general to an officer is a hurdle, it is even more difficult to move from a school officer to a general.

As for civil officials, the seventh and fifth grades are all life and death, and I don't know how many people have died on these two hurdles.

And all the people here, even if they are Hou Fangyu, are already the captain of Zhaowu on the sixth grade, I am afraid that after fighting Zhang Zhongwu, he will be able to get a general to do it, of course, the premise is that he is still alive.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Liu Chenglin continued: "The section commander is expected to return to Wuwei Town at the end of June, and the section commander will also follow Xue Ping's 10,000 god army. Ladies and gentlemen, but up to now, we haven't even taken the entire territory of Yingzhou, it's really embarrassing, everyone, next I'm going to organize a large-scale attack, those few stubborn dock forts, I must take them, as a gift to welcome the return of the town, what do you think? ”

When it comes to getting down to business, everyone is serious.

"General Liu, now there are too many Lu Long's elites in the soldiers and horses in those dock forts, and if you attack strongly, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Huang De said cautiously: "However, before the marshal left, he also said that the general is in charge of the Yingzhou expedition, and if the general decides to fight, I have nothing to say, I can only ensure that the logistics are safe." ”

Bao Hui, who was sitting next to him, nodded again and again: "Transporting grain and grass is my forte, and I will be in charge of this work when the time comes." ”

Du Teng and Sun Zhi glanced at each other and said, "If General Liu decides to make a move, what do you need us to do, just say hello." ”

"After the spring ploughing, it was supposed to move." Liu Chenglin grinned and said: "The two of you might as well mobilize the troops in the territory, one is to think about defeat before winning, and you must always make preparations first, and secondly, it will only be regarded as military training. ”

The two nodded their heads in agreement.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, then let's have another drink and wish my Wuwei army success."

"Drink to win!" Everyone raised their glasses in unison.

Liu Chenglin just asked the opinions of a few assassins, and as for Li De and other generals, naturally there was no room to speak.

After three glasses of wine, Liu Chenglin said with a smile: "Next, let's fight for ourselves." Brother Sun, Sun Zhi, don't think about urinating, come on, come on, let's fight for three hundred rounds. ”

The hall burst into jubilation.

At this time, outside the city of Yingzhou, a knight with a red flag on his back was sweating profusely, and he rode all the way into the city, and the target was Liu Chenglin's mansion.
