"Chen Shaoyang has been hiding the news of the return of aid, and just now asked me to arrange a place for Yuan Zhi to stay." Wu Zilong, the head of the household department, and Zhao Xingde walked side by side and said: "The government office in the city, let you choose, as long as Yuan Zhi likes it, even if it is the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am willing to be a lobbyist for you and persuade Chen Shaoyang to move out." The two of them walked out of the south tower and stood on the top of Huanghu Mountain, with a panoramic view of the whole city.

Wu Zilong pointed to a number of government offices, pavilions and pavilions surrounding Huanghu Mountain, and said with a smile, "Where do you look, Qingjingtang?" Chu Lou? Or Caoyuan? "These places are all good places in Huanghu Mountain. The barracks of the Baoyi Army were originally outside the city of Ezhou, and now they have been occupied by the Xiangyang soldiers. The sub-city is small, and there are only a handful of places that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and horses, and since the establishment of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Ezhou and the Xiangyang Division, many new yamen such as the six new departments have been added, and the city is even more overcrowded. Wu Zilong is in charge of the household department and has the responsibility of governing Zicheng, if it weren't for Zhao Xingde, he would not be so generous.

Zhao Xingde pondered for a moment and discussed: "The Prime Minister's Mansion and the six ministries and government offices are big enough to use the state school, and now the school building of the state school is nearly half vacant, and Zhao is standing and his subordinates are settled there. Brother Wu, what do you think? "I didn't want to take the favor of others, let alone occupy people's houses, so I chose a semi-deserted state school.

Wu Zilong was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palm and smiled: "The Ministry of War has asked me several times before, and I want to seize the state student dormitory to establish a barracks, but the Ministry of Rites has not allowed it, which makes me very embarrassed. Since Brother Zhao wants it, Cao Liangshi and Uncle Wang Ying have nothing to say. ”

Zhao Xingde didn't expect that there would be this story, the state school involved the dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, but as soon as he said it, he had no regrets, he smiled and said: "The matter is urgent, I will accompany Uncle Wang Ying." When the war is settled, our army will return the barracks to the state school. "The Ministry of Rites is responsible for coordinating the state and county schools and even preparing for the establishment of Taixue. Because the state and county schools have the authority to discuss political affairs and elect officials, the Ministry of Rites has a great influence in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although now due to the critical military situation, everything is focused on the war, but Zhao Xingde does not want to have a grudge with Uncle Wang Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Wonderful, Uncle Ying often says, it's a pity for Yuan Zhizhi to put pen to paper," Wu Zilong knew his intentions, and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Zhao preaches and teaches every day in the army, and there are still twenty or thirty students in the state school, just listening to the teachings, these juniors are blessed." He paused and said apologetically, "Most of the state school students are recruited by various government offices, the school buildings are deserted, and the subordinates of the Yuan Zhi need to be repaired and cleaned before they are stationed. "This is also because of the dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, the number of students in the state school is not enough, and the Ministry of War cannot send battalions to move in, and the Ministry of Household is even more reluctant to go into this troubled water.

"That's easy to say," Zhao Xingde said with a smile, "It's much better than camping in the wild." ”

Wu Zilong only saved it, Zhao Xingde joined the army, and the cleanliness of the house was far less picky than ordinary Confucian students, he looked at the other party's face full of wind and frost, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After the two parted, Zhao Xingde arranged for Ma Rui, Yang Zaixing and others to lead their cavalry to be stationed in the state school. There was a pond called "Smart Pond" in the school, which was used for drinking horses. After Zhao Xingde set up the government office, Xi was not warm and began to take over the defense of Ezhou. He divided the county and township soldiers in the city into six divisions, each of which fought for two hours, and the other battalions rested behind the city walls, as a long-lasting strategy for recuperation. Because the east was the focus of the attack of the Xiangyang army, Zhao Xingde sent Ma Rui to take charge of the defense of the eastern city, and Yang Zaixing selected 3,000 elites from the township soldiers, with the 600 elite soldiers who returned as the backbone, and imitated the system of the Baoyi Army to form the Ya Bing Battalion in the center.
