Chapter 204: Follow-up Reaction
The next day, Xu Zhihe hurried out early in the morning, found Yan Keqiu before he went to work in the Jiedu Embassy, and told Yan Keqiu about his problem. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Yan Keqiu didn't know the reason for what Xu Zhihe said, in fact, his opinion was actually similar to everyone's, and he also felt that Yang Wu regarded Xu Wen as his own person, so he would recommend Xu Wen as the assassin of Suzhou. He remembered that at that time, when discussing who should be the assassin of Suzhou, many people proposed to let Zhou Ben take the position, and Yang Xingmi also meant this at that time, and later it was Yang Wu himself who made Yang Xingmi's decision to change it.
So Yan Keqiu didn't believe that Yang Wu would be hostile to Xu Wen no matter what, but he was a wise man after all, and he couldn't think of a reason, so he said to Xu Zhihe and asked him to go back and tell Xu Wen that Yang Wu now has a deep foundation, and the generals in the army support him, plus there is also Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu, who is supporting him behind, and it is very dangerous to want to confront him. So regardless of whether Yang Wu is hostile to him or not, he must continue to keep a low profile.
In addition, Yan Keqiu also revealed that Yang Wu is recently trying to find a way to weaken the rights of local assassins, implement the separation of military and political affairs, and in the future, military generals will lead troops to fight full-time wars, and the affairs of governing local areas will be handed over to civilian officials. Yan Keqiu said that Yang Wu attaches great importance to this matter, and has made great determination, and has been recognized by Yang Xingmi and some generals in the army, if Xu Wen can help Yang Wu to complete this matter, then no matter whether Yang Wu has misunderstood him or not, Yang Wu cannot treat him badly with his merits.
After getting this news, Xu Zhihe finally had some bottom, and he saw that it was time for Yan Keqiu to go to the Jiedu Embassy on an errand, so he hurriedly said goodbye. As soon as he left the Yan Mansion, he immediately sent someone back to Suzhou to report the news to Xu Wen, while he stayed in Guangling to find out the news.

Yang Wu didn't know that there were so many things in his expression last night, and it also caused a huge change in his original plan for the separation of military and political affairs, which finally had to be implemented in advance. Of course, that's all for later.
After returning to the Jiedu Embassy to sleep for a while, the next day, he went to send Wang Maozhang and Zhu Siqing on an expedition, and when he came back, he took time to meet Qian Bi's son, Qian Chuanxuan, who was about to become his brother-in-law.
However, after seeing this, Yang Wu couldn't help but feel that this Qian Chuanhui was indeed very good, not only was he handsome, in line with the aesthetic standards for men in this era, but he was also polite and had a special temperament; More importantly, this Qian Chuanhui is not only familiar with the classics of scripture and history, can write good poems, but also is skilled in arching and horses, and it is said that he personally led the troops into battle during the rebellion of the Wuyong Capital, and fought several victories, which can be said to be both civil and military. No wonder Yang Xingmi decided to marry his daughter to him after seeing him.
And Yang Wu also found when chatting with him that Qian Chuanhui has a calm and atmospheric personality, even if he is a proton in Guangling, he can be at ease, and he is always neither humble nor arrogant when he speaks, so that Yang Wu can't help but feel good, and sighs that Qian Di's other skills are not easy to say, but this ability to teach children and grandchildren is well deserved.
He had a family motto when he was dying in history, leaving ten wills to his descendants, such as "loyalty and filial piety, love for soldiers and the people, diligence and thrift, loyalty and family heirloom", these family mottos and wills have been passed down from generation to generation, inspiring the descendants of the Qian family, making his descendants famous in large numbers, only in later generations are very famous Qian Zhongshu, Qian Xuesen, Qian Weichang, Qian Sanqiang and others.
Based on this alone, Yang Wu felt that Qian Biao was much stronger than the lords of other feudal towns in this era.
He remembered that there were more than a dozen powerful ones in the feudal towns today, but most of them had problems when they reached the second generation, such as Zhong Chuan in Jiangxi and Ma Yin in Hunan, both of which were destroyed by Huainan shortly after their deaths; And now the mighty Liang King Zhu Quanzhong and Shu King Wang Jian also perished in the second generation; Even if there was no crossing by Yang Wu, the foundation laid by Yang Xingmi would eventually be defeated at the hands of his sons.
After talking with Qian Chuanxuan, Yang Wu also recognized this brother-in-law in his heart, and his attitude towards him during the conversation couldn't help but be much more enthusiastic. It's a pity that Yang Wu also knows that this marriage between the two families is only temporary, and when either party is ready in the future, both sides may tear their faces and start a war again. Even judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the person who will tear his face first in the future will be Yang Wu himself.
After chatting with Qian Chuanxuan, Yang Wu talked with Gu Quanwu, who came to Guangling with him, for a while, and then got up to say goodbye and leave.
After returning to the Jiedu Embassy, Yang Wu immediately summoned Fan Yu and asked him to send more fine works to Hangzhou, Yuezhou and other places, and even the relatively unimportant Taizhou and Mingzhou He also asked to send more people to find out the news, which made Fan Yu think that there was something big trouble on Qian Di's side.
After sending Fan Yu away, Yang Wu returned to his courtyard to continue to prepare for the reorganization of the army and the separation of military and political affairs. Now he seems to have a stable position, but he knows that the interests involved in these two things are too great, not to mention him, even his father Yang Xingmi can't guarantee that there will be no chaos in the process of implementing these two policies, so he must be fully prepared before that.
At the same time, Yang Wu's statement at the party also spread quickly, and those generals were temporarily relieved after hearing about it; And Tao Ya, Li Chengsi, Wang Juan and other nine people who were left by Yang Wu that night The bigwigs behind them also expressed their support after learning that Yang Wu was going to establish a new army to train generals, not only agreeing to their sons to join this new army as captains, but also expressing their desire to recommend more people to come in as captains.
These old guys have a much longer vision than Tao Jingzhao, not only did they immediately feel Yang Wu's purpose of showing favor to them, but as veterans in the army, they also knew that Huainan currently seemed to have many famous generals, but the older generation had gradually grown old, and it was also true that the new generation of generals had not grown up.
As the co-founders of Huainan's foundation, these veterans know the difficulty of starting a business, and in this era of chaos in the world, they don't want Huainan to fall into trouble in the future because of the general's generation.
Therefore, when they learned that Yang Wu planned to establish a new army and train new generals, these veterans behaved very actively, which greatly exceeded Yang Wu's expectations.
However, Yang Wu refused to increase the number of trainees, he felt that this was the first time after all, he had no experience, just as an attempt; Moreover, although only twenty captains will be selected in this batch, he will carefully select each of these twenty people, and if he can train ten excellent generals from them in the future, he will be satisfied.
