"My lord, Lao Pei sent an urgent report." In the early morning of the next day, after Shen Yan finished his morning exercise, he stretched his body a little, and suddenly, Fang Butong walked in front of Shen Yan with vigorous steps, without the slightest expression on his face, glanced at Shen Yan, and said loudly.

"Old Fang, you just have a straight face this early in the morning, aren't you tired?" Seeing Fang Butong's expression, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he glanced at Fang Butong, who had a serious face, and said slowly with a hint of fun.

"My lord, I'm used to it." Hearing Shen Yan's joking, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Fang Butong's mouth, his mouth pursed slightly, revealing a smile, and then a serious smile appeared on his face again.

"Well, according to the established battle plan, it is estimated that Lao Pei and the others have arrived in the Lingnan area, looking for fighters, so his battle report will be put aside for the time being, you just happened to come, and I will talk to you about the city defense of Xiangzhou Mansion." Seeing Fang Butong's expression, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said slowly.

Since Shen Yan detained Chen Zhi'an, the city defense of Xiangzhou Mansion has been in a state of uncontrol, so Shen Yan temporarily let Fang Butong pick up this burden, and at the same time asked Tai Zhenlong, the general of the Xiangzhou Mansion Army, to assist, after a short day of control, Shen Yan wanted to know if there were some different voices in the Xiangzhou Mansion's Xiang Army, whether there were Chen Zhi'an's die-hard elements, or Gu Chaoru's people, if there were their people in the Xiang Prefecture Army, then Shen Yan would find a way to expel these people.

For the Xiangzhou Mansion's Xiang Army, Shen Yan still has the idea to firmly control them in his own hands, of course, Shen Yan will not be so obvious from the beginning, and will not let the generals of the Great Xia Royal Army or the Servant Army serve as the generals of the Xiangzhou Mansion Xiang Army, if he really does this, then Shen Yan is obviously without three hundred taels of silver here.

Therefore, Shen Yan's strategy is to first eliminate Gu Chaoru and Chen Zhian's people, and then support Tong Shaohua's people, Shen Yan believes that Tong Shaohua has been the prefect of Xiangzhou Mansion for four years, if there is no person to install his own people in the Xiangzhou Mansion Xiang Army, Shen Yan feels that this is unlikely at all, this is not to say how ambitious Tong Shaohua is, but after having his own people, if Tong Shaohua wants to mobilize the Xiang Army, it will not be so tortuous and laborious, after all, his own people are easy to do.

For the time being, only Fang Butong and Huang Weiqian knew about Shen Yan's idea, and even Lu Xuanyu and Tai Zhenlong, the Wuzhou Mansion Army who helped, didn't know Shen Yan's plans, let alone Tong Shaohua. This is not to say that Shen Yan wants to hide from Tong Shaohua, or that he doesn't trust the other party, but he wants to surprise Tong Shaohua at a critical time, so that Tong Shaohua will be more loyal to himself.

Of course, regarding the general manager of the Xiangzhou Mansion Xiang Army, that is, the top general of the Xiangzhou Mansion Xiang Army, Shen Yan does not plan to use his own people, if he is his own people from top to bottom, then he will fall into the mouth, this scale, Shen Yan is still very clear.

"My lord, after a day of observation and investigation, the last general did find a very small number of people who were suspicious, they seem to be very low-key on weekdays, as if they have no intersection with Chen Zhian and Gu Chaoru at all, however, it is this excessive low-key that the last general feels suspicious, so the last general took matters into his own hands, and asked Wu Zuoling to send two people to help investigate these people, and finally found some clues, but the current evidence is not conclusive, and the last general does not dare to move them casually, so as not to cause a mutiny." Fang Butong talked about business, a particularly serious look flashed in his eyes, and he said seriously.

"If there is a suspicion, we must investigate and collect evidence in many aspects, and we must not wronged anyone, but we must not let go of any person who is suspected." Hearing Fang Butong's words, Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a look that was really like this, Chen Zhi'an has been running Huaibei County for so many years, it is impossible not to install cronies in the Xiangzhou Mansion's Xiang Army, otherwise, how can his orders be carried out by the people below. Similarly, although Gu Chaoru's time as the governor of Huaibei County was short, with Gu Chaoru's means, if he wanted to install one or two cronies in the Xiangzhou Mansion Army, Chen Zhian still had to give this face.

"The last general also wants to investigate in many ways, but the last general also knows in his heart that there are not many people brought by Wu Zuoling this time, and if too many people are transferred, it will delay his own affairs, thus delaying the layout of the adults." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a helpless wry smile appeared on the corner of Fang Butong's mouth.

"Manpower is a big problem." Hearing Fang Butong's complaints, Shen Yan's mouth raised slightly, he didn't expect to occupy Xiangzhou Mansion at the beginning, so he only thought about how to run Wuzhou Mansion when he first made the deployment, so the Jinyi School he brought was only enough to deploy Wuzhou Mansion, but he didn't expect Xia Yuan to make such a fool of himself and force himself to change his plan, thus dividing the Jinyi School into two, fortunately, the matter of Wuzhou Mansion is basically a foregone conclusion, and the remaining Jinyi School can basically be solved, and Xiangzhou Mansion is relatively tricky, after all, it is more complicated here.

"My lord, Wu Zuoling asks to see you." When Shen Yan's eyes flashed with how to solve this manpower problem, a soldier of the personal guard led Wu Zhenyue over slowly.

"My subordinates have seen adults." Wu Zhenyue saw that Fang Butong was also there, first saluted Shen Yan, and then nodded slightly to Fang Butong.

"Mr. Fang Qian, morning."

"Morning, old Wu Zuoling." Seeing Wu Zhenyue's figure, a faint smile flashed in Fang Butong's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

"Wu Zuoling, you're just in time." After seeing Wu Zhenyue's figure, Shen Yan's mind suddenly appeared that the five people of Boss He should have worshiped Wu Zhenyue early this morning, so Wu Zhenyue should come over and despise the question of how to use the five people of Boss He.

"My lord, my subordinates just have something to ask for advice." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Wu Zhenyue's eyes, what is called just right, could it be that the adult has something to explain to himself, and he just happened to be here.

"Are you talking about He Yi and the five of them?" Hearing Wu Zhenyue's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Wu Zhenyue indifferently, and said slowly.

"Your Excellency is really wise, and you can guess it." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Wu Zhenyue's eyes showed a hint of surprise, the adult is really powerful, and before he showed it, the adult already knew.

"Don't pat me on the back." Hearing Wu Zhenyue's words, Shen Yan scolded with a smile.
