Everyone knows how much Chu Tianya wants to see Xiao Linglong now, but she is far away in Qingyun Fort to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, dozens of miles away from Xiaocang Mountain.

Chu Tianya learned from Uncle He that there may have been some gaps between Xiao Linglong and Bai Xu. The reason is that there was a temporary change of coach.

Chu Tianya thought to himself, in the final analysis, this matter was caused by himself. I can't let my own woman bear such a sin. As a master, you can't shift the responsibility to your subordinates.

So that night, Chu Tianya made a special trip to Bai Xu's military aircraft camp and had a deep talk with him.

Bai Xu is indeed tired these days, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and his spirit is also a little impaired. As soon as Chu Tianya came back, he suddenly felt that a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, so he had just finished the banquet and fell asleep when he returned to the camp.

The military aircraft camp is not allowed to enter, but Chu Tianya is definitely an exception. He didn't call the pawn to report, but walked directly into Bai Xu's bedroom. While he was still outside, he heard the snoring of this suave scholar.

He's really tired. Since the day Chu Tianya left Xiaocang Mountain, he hadn't slept well for a day. Today the lord came back, his heart was light, and he drank some wine, and slept very soundly.

Chu Tianya really couldn't bear to wake him up.

So he lightly retreated to the outer tent, came to Bai Xu's desk and sat down, asked the pawn to fetch the brazier, and looked through a large pile of military affairs in Bai Xu's office these days.

Thin paper folded books, piled up. Chu Tianya only flipped through a very small part of it, and it took half an hour. There are many large and small military affairs, and Bai Xu has made detailed and accurate instructions, none of which are not in line with Chu Tianya's wishes. Many important military affairs have been approved by Meng De's hand, and Meng De's instructions are all unified with the four words "permission to execute", and there is no objection.

Seeing these completed military affairs, Chu Tianya knew how busy and tired Bai Xu was and how dedicated he was these days. He really took the affairs of the Hedong Righteous Army as his own business, not just limited to the duties of a subordinate.

At this moment, Chu Tianya was both moved and surprised. Needless to say, what moved him was that Bai Xu's dedication and death had been coupled with his intelligence and ability, and he really had a fight with Zhuge Liang; What surprised him was that Bai Xu's work efficiency was so high, he was definitely a top player. In fact, he is the only one in charge of the entire military aircraft department, plus at most two or three assistants who help run errands and sort out copywriting.

Bai Xu is too busy and needs a real assistant too much.

Liu Ziyu - Chu Tianya immediately thought of this person.

He was born in Jiangmen, has been trained by the army since he was a child, and has a solid military foundation; In addition, he followed his father in the army when he was a teenager and experienced countless battles large and small; The offensive and defensive battles lasted for a year or two, Liu Ziyu was able to attack and defend well and also fight guerrillas, and knew everything about the army and the battlefield well, and was definitely a military talent baptized by actual combat fire.

Through Chu Tianya's observation of him, although Liu Ziyu has the ability to take the lead in charging into battle, he does not have the arrogance of a rough martial artist, he is modest, cautious, erudite, and talented, more like a "Confucian general".

After thinking about it repeatedly, Chu Tianya issued a "proposal" on Bai Xu's desk for personnel appointments - Jian Yili promoted Liu Ziyu, the general of Zhending, to be the deputy military division of the Hedong Righteous Army, to assist Bai Xu in taking charge of the military aircraft and participating in the deliberations.

Then Chu Tianya wrote another paragraph below: Please ask the military advisor to discuss with Meng De, Jiao Wentong and the other two remaining military leaders.

Although Chu Tianya is the leader of the 100,000-strong army, such a heavy personnel appointment still needs to seek the opinions of the other three military leaders. It's not that Chu Tianya doesn't have such authority and ability, but he needs to abide by the rules set by everyone and respect his closest and most powerful brothers.

If this proposal is approved, then Liu Ziyu, who has recently joined the Hedong Righteous Army, will leap to the fifth position of the Righteous Army, and his status will leap above Xue Yu and Xiao Linglong, and his power will be second only to Chu Tianya and the military advisor Bai Xu, and he can sit on an equal footing with Meng De and Jiao Wentong.

On the surface, Chu Tianya promoted an outstanding talent to be the leader; On a deeper level, this is actually a big blow to upset the current balance of power.

As far as Yu Gong is concerned, the military aircraft department is in charge of every day, and Bai Xu is really too busy to be busy; Moreover, he really needs a think tank that can really work with him to support this military aircraft department and formulate many more perfect military measures that can smoothly control the 100,000 righteous troops in Hedong. Such an important and complicated thing is all done by Bai Xu alone, no matter how capable he is, it is inevitable that he will not be able to bear it and will inevitably make mistakes.

Privately, Liu Ziyu is different from Bai Xu and Xue Yu, he was directly pulled back from the battlefield by Chu Tianya. He is definitely inclined to Chu Tianya in his position, and definitely does not belong to the original Tianshan or Xishan factions. Chu Tianya needs an "absolutely neutral" character to participate in the center of power. This is not only to balance the balance of power between the major factions, Chu Tianya wants to hear different voices, voices from different positions and relatively more fair.

Liu Ziyu is undoubtedly such a suitable candidate. Just like at the beginning of Li Tang's founding of the country, Li Shimin and his brothers and brothers had a quarrel over the crown prince, and most of the ministers and generals were classified into different camps. But Li Jing has always been relatively neutral. Therefore, Gaozu Li Yuan was relieved to boldly reuse Li Jing, the reason is that he will not be constrained by the power of any faction, he can give full play to his subjective initiative, and he can be directly loyal to Li Yuan to the greatest extent!

Chu Tianya knew that he was no longer the Chu Tianya he was when he was defending Taiyuan. Now that he is in his position, he has to do more of what he should do as a lord. The same person also has a left hand and a right hand, a slap sticks out and five fingers are not the same length, and there are also subtle "factions" within the rebel army, one is the Taihang faction, and the other is the non-Taihang faction. Although the two forces are not as desperate as you fight for each other, as time goes by, sooner or later there will be clear factions. Now, the strength of the non-Taihang faction is too weak, and there are only a few people, Meng De, Ma Kuo and Wang Xun. Only Qingwei is directly in Chu Tianya, and the other leaders, including Tang Ang and Anu, the leaders of the Tiger Benwei, can be counted as people from the Taihang faction.

In the long run, the power of the Taihang faction will become greater and greater; As the lord, Chu Tianya must maintain a reasonable balance between the factional forces under his command, so that he can control it for a long time - this is not all the distrust between Hou Hei and his subordinates, but the overall situation that has to be taken into account for the sake of internal stability!

Liu Ziyu's important flag is a favorable test to change the current pattern. If Bai Xu and Jiao Wentong readily agree, it would be the best; If they disagree with Liu Ziyu, a newcomer, to enter the military aircraft department and sit in the fifth position, then Chu Tianya will also support Liu Ziyu, and he must let him sit down in this position!

Even if this will temporarily make Bai Xu and Jiao Wentong dissatisfied, in order to seek long-term stability and development, Chu Tianya must also do this! First, it is to make the best use of people's talents and increase the strength of the rebel army; Second, it is for the Military Aircraft Department to no longer be a "hall of words", and to avoid subjective errors as much as possible; Third, it is for the balance of faction power in the future!

Chu Tianya's motive may not be completely penetrated by others; But Bai Xu must be able to figure it out.

Chu Tianya thought to himself, if Bai Xu really took the matter of the Hedong Righteous Army as his own business, he would definitely understand and support his own proposition! - In short, a building cannot be sustained alone; Now that Chu Tianya has found another giant tree to support with Bai Xu, will it be a bad thing?

Originally, Chu Tianya should have officially recruited Jiao Wentong, Bai Xu and Meng De to discuss such a major event. But he gave Bai Xu a ventilation in advance today just to show his respect for him. After all, the department Liu Ziyu wants to join is the Military Aircraft Department, and Bai Xu has the right to know first.

Although it was just a simple proposal for any personnel, Chu Tianya made a decision after thinking about it for a long time. After writing these few lines, his mood suddenly brightened.

At the beginning, Chu Tianya sat on the position of this lord, and to put it nicely, he was ordered to be in danger, at that time, Guan Shan was dead, and the people and horses of the two mountains were leaderless; To put it mildly, it was opportunistic, he used some unconventional means with He Bo, Xiao Linglong and others, quickly occupied the absolute advantage of popularity, and squeezed Jiao Wentong off the horse.

These days, Chu Tianya's heart actually doesn't have much sense of security. Because every leader of Taihang Mountain has a longer and far-reaching network base than him. They have long been famous heroes in Hedong, what about Chu Tianya? It's just a "nouveau riche" that came into being.

Objectively speaking, the power of the Taihang faction is strong enough to blow Chu Tianya down at any time. As long as Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu raised their arms, there would not be much to do with the position of the lord. Therefore, from the first day of his ascension, Chu Tianya has been committed to stabilizing his position, gathering people's hearts and creating his own contacts, and is committed to absorbing new backbone forces to break the old pattern and balance.

Now, I finally caught a Liu Ziyu! ――In terms of origin, Liu Ziyu is not inferior to Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu; In terms of combat performance, he is not inferior to Chu Tianya and the late Wang Yu; In terms of reputation, the Liu family father and son are also famous national heroes in Hebei!

Jiao Wentong and Bai Xu just want to oppose it, and they can't say a single ugly thing. As for the question of Liu Ziyu being new and defenseless, Chu Tianya believes that with his ability and his own compensation, this is not a problem at all. He may be slightly inferior to Bai Xu in terms of strategy, but what makes him stronger than Bai Xu is that he is capable of leading troops in both civil and military affairs-such a talent is unique in the rebel army!

Chu Tianya sat in Bai Xu's military tent for a long time, firstly, carefully reading the military affairs of his department, and secondly, carefully pondering the matter of Liu Ziyu. In the end, he felt that the ancients were honest and did not deceive each other - before he was in his position, he was the lord and before he became the lord, his mentality, the angle of thinking about the problem and the starting point of dealing with the problem were absolutely two different things!

It's hard to reconcile everyone, and it's impossible to make everyone comfortable and satisfied. It is enough to be able to take into account the overall situation and strive for the greatest level of victory!

Thinking of this, Chu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief, left the military aircraft and went back to his camp tent to rest. Just as he was about to ride to the top of the mountain, he saw the lights on in his tent, and a slender figure swaying from side to side on the tent.

Chu Tianya couldn't help but smile bitterly: The noble man, this crazy girl, wants to sleep with me again! …… Don't you know that there is a limit to my patience?
