Jinghu County, the Marshal's Mansion. The military generals of Wenchen gathered together and were divided into left and right. Wenchen was headed by Zeng Lin, the commander of Jinghu County, and the military general was led by Suqian, the former general of the Western Frontier Army. With the departure of Cheng Wuben, the eastern border army of Chu State ushered in another era for him, the era of Bian Wushuang.

Naturally, everyone in the hall had different thoughts. Zeng Lin sat in the head position on the left, looking at his nose and nose, and opposite him, Su Qian leaned back in his chair, squinting at the beam, and didn't know what he was thinking. The second position under Suqian was empty, and the person who was originally sitting there should be the cavalry general Jiang Shangyan. But since Cheng Wuben left, Jiang Shangyan has not returned to the county town to report on his work, and he has not stayed in the army, and he has disappeared. Jiang Shangyan's attitude is quite important to the eastern border army of Chu State, which also represents whether Bian Wushuang can integrate the eastern border army with different factions.

Judging from the numbers, the current eastern border army can be said to be strong. When Bian Wushuang came to take office, he took 20,000 of his own descendants, and there were also 20,000 horses under the command of Suqian of the Western Army, Luo Hu and Luo Bao belonged to the Luo Liang faction, and they were repeatedly suppressed in the Jinghu Theater before, and the 20,000 people in the department lost a lot in the battle that just ended, but there were also more than 15,000 people, and the sum of these three parties was close to 60,000. But to say that the strength is the most powerful, it is still the original Cheng Wuben series of soldiers and horses. Cheng Wuben has been in the Jinghu Theater for several years, and he only helped with two things, the first is to repel the Qi army and secure Jinghu, and the second is to expand the army. Now the total number of soldiers and horses under the command of the Jinghu Department exceeds 50,000, and more importantly, these 50,000 people include 10,000 cavalry of Jiang Shangyan. This is a tough force that Cheng Wuben has been sparing no effort to build.

And Jiang Shangyan, after Cheng Wuben left, of course, became the leader of these 50,000 people, and his attitude will determine whether the entire Eastern Army can be twisted into a rope.

For Bian Wushuang, behind Jiang Shangyan, there are not only the 50,000 troops, but also Ning Zhiwen's army, and the civilian official group headed by Zeng Lin. If they can't be subdued, then this eastern commander will have no taste in being it.

This is also the reason why Jiang Shangyan has not shown up for nearly a month, and he has not even met him, a freshly baked handsome, once, but Bian Wushuang still vacates his position.

This person is now a hornet's nest, and he can't move easily, and when he moves, he is easy to blow up the nest.

Bian Wushuang took office, and the happiest person was Luo Hu and Luo Bao, who stayed in the Eastern Theater all these years, and they were so angry that basically no one treated them. The replacement of equipment is backward, and the food and salary are in arrears, but when the war starts, it is necessary to charge ahead. finally got through to Cheng Wuben's braids, and Bian Wushuang was in charge, and the two of them naturally felt that spring was coming.

If Bian Wushuang wants to completely grasp power, then it is inevitable to win over Luo Hu and Luo Bao and suppress the old school forces led by Jiang Shangyan.

Thinking that they were finally coming out, their eyes lit up, and they looked at the still empty spot in the middle of the lobby, their faces full of joy.

That position is naturally Bian Wushuang's.

"Handsome!" With a powerful shout, the civil and military officers in the hall stood up in unison, leaned slightly sideways, and looked at the side door with curtains on the side of the lobby.

A guard stepped out first, lifted the curtain, and then, Bian Wushuang, dressed in official court clothes, appeared in everyone's sight.

"I've seen the big handsome!" Zeng Lin and Suqian took the lead in bowing.

Bian Wushuang strode over to the soldiers, his eyes swept over the people in the hall one by one, and a smile finally appeared on his serious face, and he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

Seeing that everyone was seated, Bian Wushuang still stood straight, looked at everyone, and said: "Bian is valued by His Majesty, and trusted by Cheng Shuai, from today onwards, he will officially take over the post of commander of the eastern region, commanding the important military and political affairs in the east. ”

"I am willing to work for the handsome!" Everyone in the hall responded in unison.

Bian Wushuang smiled and nodded, "Come on, please ask for the king's order flag, the sword of the Son of Heaven!" ”

As Bian Wushuang's words landed, outside the side door, a group of people appeared again, looking at the costumes, it turned out to be the eunuchs in the palace, and everyone couldn't help but change color on their faces. Getting up at the same time again, the Son of Heaven Sword of the King's Mandate Banner almost represents the presence of the Son of Heaven in person, and everyone did not expect that the emperor would trust Bian Wushuang to such an extent, you must know that even when Luo Liang was in power, he had never obtained the Son of Heaven Sword of the Banner of Heaven.

"Your Majesty has given me the Son of Heaven Sword of the Banner of the King's Order, and I can dispose of all civil and military officials under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Frontier Army without asking for an order." Bian Wushuang's eyes became sharp, and he slowly swept over everyone: "But Ben Shuai hopes that he didn't use his moment." ”

The hall was quiet, Luo Hu and Luo Leopard were even more happy, Bian Shuai was so trusted, and he had the sword of the Son of Heaven, that unruly Jiang Shangyan looked like he was going to be unlucky, the new official took office with three fires, Bian Wushuang's first fire was to recover Wanzhou City, which burned extremely vigorously, then the new power was naturally going to take people to establish authority, and who else was more suitable than Jiang Shangyan to make the first bird to clean up? As soon as Jiang Shangyan falls, the importance of the two of them in the army will be even further. The two of them looked at Bian Wushuang's eyes, and naturally they were more eager, but the two of them took the initiative to surrender as soon as Bian Wushuang arrived in Jinghu, and now it was time to gain something.

After Bian Wushuang talked a lot of nonsense about loyalty and patriotism, unity, joint external affairs, recovering the homeland, and reviving Dachu, he finally sat down, and everyone in the hall was also relieved. The opening remarks are over, and the next thing is to arrange some really important affairs, and those are the key to laying a new pattern for the entire Eastern Theater in the future.

"General Suqian!" In everyone's attention, Bian Wushuang looked at Suqian.

Suqian got up: "The end will be!" ”

"The general is a veteran of a hundred battles, and the elite of the Western Army under his command is the best in the Great Chu Army, I mean that your department will be stationed in Wanzhou and be my Jinghu barrier, I don't know what the general wants?" Bian Wushuang Road.

Hearing Bian Wushuang's first order, everyone in the hall was stunned, although Wanzhou was recovered, but now it has become the first line of the battle with the Qi army, it must be extremely difficult, shouldn't Cheng Wuben's old subordinates be driven there?

Su Qian didn't have any special reaction, and said calmly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Bian Wushuang nodded, and the second one to point was actually Luo Hu.

"General Luo Hu!"

"The last general!" Luo Hu stood up excitedly.

"This time to recover Wanzhou, the whole annihilation of Zhou Jiyun, General Luo is indispensable, this marshal is new to Jinghu, there is still a lack of a Chinese officer, I don't know if General Luo Hu can give in?" Bian Wushuang asked with a smile.

The middle officer, to put it bluntly, is a mouthpiece of the marshal, the status is indeed respected, and the position is also high, if you want to say the advantage, that is, you can get along with the marshal day and night, but the disadvantage, but it is to leave his direct subordinates, to put it bluntly, there is no military power. Hearing this appointment, Luo Hu was shocked, although this official position was raised, there seemed to be something wrong? Thinking about it, Bian Shuai has just arrived in the east, and he urgently needs to gain a firm foothold, and what he needs most now is a general who is loyal to him, and he seems to be one of the people that Bian Shuai likes, and he is promoted to a Chinese officer, which is a kind of test, if he does a good job, how can he go down to lead the army is a matter of Bian Shuai's words, when he goes down again, the position is very different, and it is a position that can be equal to Suqian. When Jiang Shangyan returned from the Ming Dynasty, wasn't he the first Chinese officer to serve under Cheng Wuben's account? The next step was that Jinghu vigorously formed a cavalry, and after the cavalry was formed, Cheng Wuben gave an order, and Jiang Shangyan became the main general of this powerful cavalry. Bian Shuai: This is repeating Jiang Shangyan's ascension process for himself. Luo Liang couldn't help but feel excited.

"The last general is willing!" He said loudly.

"Good. Since you have served as a lieutenant officer, then your original subordinates will be merged into the Luo Leopard Army, and the two of you have suffered a lot of losses in this battle, so it is appropriate to organize them into an army, Luo Leopard, and then quickly reorganize the army and regain its combat strength. Bian Wushuang looked at Luo Bao.

"Yes!" Seeing that Bian Wushuang brought Luo Hu's army under Luo Bao's command, Luo Hu and Luo Bao's original worries were suddenly wiped out.

After arranging these three people, Bian Wushuang looked at everyone in the hall with a smile and said, "Now my Eastern Frontier Army, the field army and the county soldiers in the formation, and all kinds of auxiliary soldiers add up, the total amount is more than 158,000 people, and Ben Shuai feels that it is too much. There are not many soldiers, so next, Ben Shuai is ready to reorganize the army, reduce 50,000 soldiers, and the eastern border army, 100,000 is enough. ”

There was a heavy exhalation in the hall, was the main event finally here? Suqian went to Wanzhou, Luo Bao merged with Luo Hu's department, and the number of soldiers who were laid off was only five or six thousand, but Bian Wushuang's target was more than 50,000 people, who did these more than 50,000 people cut? The answer is self-evident, naturally it is the headquarters of Cheng Wuben.

In the lobby, many generals showed angry looks on their faces. Sure enough, he was a son of heaven and a courtier, and as soon as he came up, he was going to sharpen his sword.

"Dashuai, although Wanzhou has recovered, Zhou Jiyun's strength still exists, and Qi State may vigorously support it, is it a little inappropriate for such a large-scale disarmament at this time?" Zeng Lin on the left asked. "And Your Majesty hopes that we can make persistent efforts to connect with those who have recovered the lost land, and dismiss so many troops at once, I'm afraid that it will hinder the next military operations, right?"

"This matter, Ben Shuai has his own plans!" Bian Wushuang laughed: "Lord Zeng, in fact, the commander has cut off the soldiers, but it is more for the sake of Lord Zeng!" ”

"Oh, where did that start?" Zeng Lin raised his eyebrows and asked.
