The news of Chen Zhi's return to the city was of course spread throughout Jixian County as soon as possible.

In fact, before Chen Zhi's men and horses arrived in the city, the news along the way had already been passed one after another, and the people in the city, outside the city, and the surrounding people had already made preparations.

Even those officials in the government have long been impatient and want to see Chen Zhi urgently, after all, they are in the rear, they have really experienced an emotional change from worry to ecstasy, and the interval between this period is still very short.

The ups and downs of emotions in a short period of time, of course, made them more impressed, with the front line one by one, the news of victory continued to come, and the entire Jixian County was immersed in an excited mood.

Therefore, when the news of Chen Zhi's imminent return came, the officialdom of Jixian County was actually quite looking forward to it, and many people were sincere and wanted to greet them outside the city.

As a result, at this moment, Chen Zhi's order came, keeping the government running, and not organizing a welcoming ceremony.

This is undoubtedly contrary to the traditions of the past, as long as the battle was won, how could there be a big book, not to mention the whole city going out to greet it, even in the process of passing the war report, it had to be notified all the way, and I hope that everyone in the whole world will know about it.

However, the reason given by Chen Zhi, in addition to being diligent and avoiding formalism, has another important reason, that is, Zhang Fang's soldiers and horses have not yet returned.

"Captain Zhang sent troops to Pingzhou this time, in fact, he also gained a lot, the entire Pingzhou, almost all of them were beaten down by him, I heard that now in the post house in Jixian County, there are many tribes that Pingzhou ran over to be attached, which can be regarded as a great achievement, but unfortunately, I met the lord's personal expedition."

After the time of this official duty, many officials returned, but many of them did not go home, but gathered together to talk about today's events to vent their excitement.

Most of them are young officials.

Among these officials, the leading role is Zhang Jingsheng, Luo Yang, Wang Kuai and others, they are the same as that Lu Jian, they were sent by the family to contact Youzhou in the past, in fact, the status in the big clan can only be said to be middle and upper, it is not important, who would have thought that with the improvement of Youzhou's status, as well as the chaos in various places, the authority of the center is constantly declining, and the status of these people is rising.

Now, he has developed in Youzhou with peace of mind, and all of them have joined the general's mansion to serve Chen Zhi.

With the continuous victory of the Xuanjia Army, the spirit of these young officials has also been mobilized, and they have more and more a sense of belonging, although Chen Zhi did not let them greet them, but now that it is time to return home, they can't wait to gather together one by one to discuss this matter, and there are many regrets for Zhang Fang.

"Isn't it, but it's also powerful, who would have thought in advance that after the lord sent troops, it would be such a result? Then the entire Hun country will collapse! It's a pity that we can't follow it in person, let alone look at it, if we can see it with our own eyes, it must be a great joy in life. ”

Luo Yang has some friendship with Zhang Fang on weekdays, and the two are relatively close, so he felt sorry for Zhang Fang at first, but as soon as the conversation changed, he became excited, and mentioned the war in Na and Zhou.

However, Zhang Jingsheng was more rational, and after listening to the remarks of several people, he reminded with a smile: "Although it is not visible, it may be possible to go to the state and take a walk, and it is certain that the state will be merged under the jurisdiction of the general's mansion this time, and I heard that not only the state is merged, but the two counties in the northwest around it should also be included, such a large territory, how many officials do you need?" ”

As soon as they heard his words, everyone couldn't help but get excited, and they became more energetic.

"Sure enough, Brother Zhang, you have insight, and you got to the point all of a sudden, so in your opinion, how will the officials of this state be selected?"

"Needless to say? It must be people from our Youzhou, how can those people from the state be trusted? ”

"Yes, you said that we have been in the state for a few years, but there are many people of insight who have been screened out, and they are all talented, but because of the limited number of seats, many people are still walking in some yamen, it's a pity, if you can go to that state to show your strengths, it will not be in vain for this life!"

"I'm afraid it's more than that, like you and me, maybe the position can move up."

"Exactly......

Obviously, most of the people gathered here have such thoughts, and as soon as they spoke, they smiled happily and imagined a better future, including Luo Yang.

However, after saying a few words, Luo Yang noticed that his friend Zhang Jingsheng was silent, just drinking tea, and asked: "You are the most knowledgeable among us, and you are also favored by the generals, and now you have the highest official position, but you have no smile at this time, is it not optimistic that we will go to Bingzhou?" ”

"If it is according to what you say, of course it is good," Zhang Jingsheng put down the teacup and said with a straight face, "Even if we don't wait for the past, but just mobilize experienced officials from Youzhou to go to Bingzhou, the vacated seats are all opportunities for us." ”

"Isn't that all, is there still a variable?" Luo Yang said, and suddenly patted his head, "Yes, this Youzhou is the fundamental place of the general, I'm afraid it won't be easy to replace those new officials, or use old people, so the opportunity for me to go to Bingzhou is still quite big." ”

"The reconstruction of the state is also complicated, I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with it simply by relying on us," Zhang Jingsheng sighed, "There are local families in the state, as well as the original bureaucrats, plus the remnants of the Xiongnu tribes, and the situation of collapse and resurgence, where can ordinary people sort out?" ”

"That's right," Luo Yang also realized that the situation was not simple, "So, the chance for us to go to the state is not great?" ”

Zhang Jingsheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can I know, let's wait for the general to give the order, maybe he already has some ideas." ”

Speaking here, when it came to the evening, two pieces of news came, one was that Zhang Jingsheng and Luo Yang were concerned about how to supplement the vacancies, saying that the General's Mansion intended to temporarily open a document to screen talents, but this time the scale will be relatively large, and it will last for a long time, and not only Jixian County will do it in one place, but also in other places.

The second news is that there has been progress in the previous Daixian assassination case, and this matter is really related to a small group of people in the Youzhou family, and it also involves the Murong family, and it is said that the evidence of collusion between the two sides has been in the hands of the secret spy department.
