Han Sheng wandered in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Zhang Yue coming out, he looked up and down with a strange expression, and then smiled: "What are you doing when the door is closed in broad daylight?" Aren't you hungry? ”

"Ahem...... Look at what you said! What's the matter? Guessed by someone, Zhang Yue's old face turned red, and he smiled to hide the embarrassment on his face.

"I just got the report, Dr. Bian heard the news and came by boat from Jiangling, and immediately went to the wharf outside the West City Gate, we have to bring someone to greet us." Han Sheng said disappreciatively.

"For the New Year, why is he in a hurry to come, could it be that Tokyo has come to the will, it is said that it will not be so soon, right?" Zhang Yue was surprised when he heard this.

"It is estimated that the decree of the DPRK and China will come down around the Lantern Festival, and Dr. Bian should come here, and he should negotiate with Liu Yan as soon as possible and reach an agreement on the demarcation of the jurisdiction." Han Sheng explained.

"Then it's nothing to do with us, let's go! Let's check it out! ”

Zhang Yue said, rode out with Han Sheng, and when he arrived at the gate of the city, Yao Chongyu was already waiting here, the two sides said hello, and rushed to the sandbar dock outside the city, and sure enough, after only waiting for a while, a fleet came over.

It was Bian Guangfan and Yao Kejun who came, and after receiving the state government, it was a boring reception banquet, Yao Chongyu received his own San Lang, and he was very happy, and Zhang Yue was bored with him. Liu Tao went to Tanzhou, where there are a group of young military attachés, there are no officials of the same status to accompany him, Bian Guangfan's interest is not high, and after three rounds of drinking, he laughed loudly: "Liu Shaojian's report was delivered to Tokyo, Your Majesty is very happy to learn that things are basically as you wish, but Xiangyin County has not been kept, and now the old man is presiding over this matter." ”

"How is the doctor going to proceed?" Yao Zhongyu asked.

"It's easy! Since Xiangyin has not been won, in order to avoid intensifying the contradiction between the three, Xiangyin will be forgotten, and we can open another city at the mouth of the Xiangjiang River and the Miluo River, tentatively named Miluo County, so that the geographical advantages of Xiangyin County will be offset, plus Changjiang County in the west, Tanzhou is also under supervision. Bian Guangfan smiled.

"What a brilliant idea, but I don't know who came up with it?" Zhang Yue asked in surprise.

"Naturally, it is the head of the household department, the scholar of the Duanming Palace, Wang Qiwu and Wang Pu Jinyan, including the previous strategy of taking Yuezhou in the south, all of which are this person's idea." Bian Guangfan said with a smile, and it could be seen that he also agreed with this proposal.

"I have to say, very far-sighted!" Zhang Yue praised, he remembered that the original Tanzhou would not be recovered until many years later, but now it is different, with Yuezhou as a springboard, you can attack from all sides in the southwest, of course, the premise is to stabilize your foothold first.

Bian Guangfan only set off from Jiangling yesterday, and apparently planned to spend the New Year in Yuezhou before going south to Tanzhou.

The next day, Bian Guangfan was old and strong, and he wanted to go out of the city to look around, so he sent someone to inform him, and Zhang Yue and Yao Chongyu had to accompany him in person, and walked around the city to learn about the customs and folklore near Yuezhou. At noon, a banquet was held at the state government, and the incumbent officials and local gentry were also invited to come and have a New Year's dinner with honor.

On the fifth day of the first month, Bian Guangfan was escorted south to Tanzhou by Yao Kejun, and Zhang Yue and Yao Chongyu continued to wait in Yuezhou and other people from the DPRK, and by the tenth day of the first month, there was finally a Jiangbei Fuzhou clipper to report: Zhongshu Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi, and Li Gu, the third division, had arrived in Tangzhou and was inspecting the Tangzhou gold mine.

There was also an unofficial warrant for Zhang Yue, asking him to handle the handover with Yao Chongyu and lead his troops north. The words were vague, not saying anything or the specific time.

Zhang Yue thought that with Bian Guangfan and Liu Tao going south to Tanzhou, Li Gu might not go south again, and the imperial edict given to Liu Yan, Wang Jinkui and others by the central government might be there for Li Gu.

Han Sheng also has a positive opinion on this, and Li Xiangrang made the capital go north, probably to listen to some information, and then decide what kind of reward to give. Of course, it is impossible to change the edicts of some major generals, but the edicts of state and county officials under their rule are very operable.

Zhang Yue thought about it, considering that he had so many industries in Yuezhou, and he didn't feel at ease if he didn't have his own soldiers here, and Yang Yingtai's seventh commander was a sailor, but the time for this person to belong was still short, so he persuaded Yang Shouzhen to lead a command of the original Chu army to stay, and Yang Yingtai was regarded as having two commanders here, and he temporarily returned to the medicine to meet again.

It is said that Zong Jingcheng is more suitable to stay, but he has a small family in Hebei, and he has not gone back to see it, Yang Shouzhen is twenty-six or seventeen years old and has not started a family, and he doesn't care about it anywhere, and his ability to receive people and things is slightly better than Zong Jingcheng, and he can be independent.

And although He Ju is clever and usable, he has not yet experienced the courage, so Zhang Yue also left him behind to manage the property left here. At present, it is to play a supervisory role, and Li Deliang has to come out to really manage it.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the third year of Guangshun, Zhang Yue led six commanded soldiers to leave Yuezhou by boat, and stayed overnight in Xiaoxing, along the way the state and county supplies grain and grass, because he brought a lot of local native sundries, and six little beauties took two carriages, and arrived in Tangzhou on the afternoon of the twenty-second day of the first month.

Before, a sentry horse had been sent to report the news first, and Sima Changde of Tangzhou, who had violent teeth, was ordered by the assassin of Benzhou to lead officials to meet him in five miles south of the city, Zhang Yue jumped off the horse, and did not wait for Chang Sima to salute with violent teeth, so he stepped forward and laughed: "Ahahaha...... Chang Sima! We're meeting again! ”

"Isn't it! Congratulations to Zhangdu for his victory and new contributions! It's really enviable to be in the capital at such a young age! Chang Deben leaned forward and said: "The kindness of the general's recommendation last time is remembered by the lower officials!" ”

"That's Chang Sima is an upright official, and it is meritorious to report the offender, I just mentioned it by the trend, but I don't dare to take credit!" Zhang Yue smiled and humbly conceded.

"This is the new deputy envoy of Tangzhou regimental training! is named Dong Chengli, who was also transferred from Tokyo, and can he be known by Zhangdu? Chang Deben pointed to an armored officer next to him.

Zhang Yue turned his head to see that the man was tall, with a big dark and square face, and two mustaches, which looked like a martial artist, but he had never seen it. Just as he was about to talk, Dong Chengli, the deputy regiment practitioner, took the initiative to step forward and salute: "I heard that Zhang Du Envoy is a native of Xindu, Jizhou, a certain person from Qinghe, Beizhou, and he can be regarded as a fellow villager. ”

"I see, I'm glad I will!" Zhang Yue returned the salute with a haha, this kind of entertainment is very boring, but it is essential.

"The barracks are all arranged, just wait for the envoy of the chapter to settle in, Li Xiang is in the state office, do you think it is the first to be stationed in the camp, or to advance to the city?" Dong Chengli asked politely.

"Of course it's an advanced city, how can you make Li Xiangjiu wait." Zhang Yue said with a smile.

"Very good! Then don't delay, please! Dong Chengli immediately got on the horse and led the way.

Zhang Yue asked Zong Jingcheng to take the soldiers to the barracks with Dong Chengli's personal soldiers, and Zhang Zhixing and Chen Jia led the soldiers to escort the four carriages into the city.
