Yongxing County, Council Hall.

"See Lord Zhijun!" The full hall of civil and military people stood up at the same time and clasped their fists.

With a wave of the cloak, Ye Yingwu sat on the big seat, and his body was still wearing light armor, not the official robes of the Great Song Dynasty officials, the deep meaning here, even if the civil and military forces present were rough, they could also understand one or two, Su Liuyi and other military generals were of course smiling, and Lu Xiufu and other civil officials only frowned slightly, but they didn't say much.

Ye Yingwu's left hand is Lu Xiufu, the commander of the Tianwu Army, and his right hand is Su Liuyi, the deputy commander of the Tianwu Army, and under Lu Xiufu is Xie Fangde, the magistrate of Yongxing County, Jiang Cheng, the magistrate of Daye County, and Jiang Duo, the commander of the army.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Duo are both one of the Jiang family's "Twelve Lents", Jiang Cheng is Jiang Wanzai's second son, Jiang Duo is Jiang Wanqing's eldest son, plus Jiang Hao's words, the descendants of the Jiang family's "Three Gus" are here. Ye Yingwu also knew that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Duo also fell on the way to fight against Mongolia in the end, so there was no doubt about their loyalty, as for ability, Jiang Cheng finally died in Yashan with Lu Xiufu as the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and it should not be bad, and Jiang Duo's history is relatively rare, and Ye Yingwu can only use it first.

On Su Liuyi's side, the front chamber of the Tianwu Army commanded Jiang Hao, the left chamber commanded Wang Jin, and today it is only officially appointed that Zhang Shun is the commander of the right compartment, Zhang Cheng, the commander of the six gates, Ma Tingyou, the commander of Jinyiwei, Guo Chang, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, Yang Bao, the commander of the middle army of the Tianwu Army, Jiang Tie, the commander of the cavalry of the Tianwu Army, plus Zhang Gui, the rear of the Tianwu Army who has not even been issued with the official seal in his hand, and all the generals can be said to be here.

It's just that so many people are not small, but in fact, there are a few soldiers under his hand, and they all know it. Take the middle army, cavalry and rear compartment of the Tianwu Army as an example, it was originally an establishment of at least 2,000 people, but in fact, it was the 500 foot soldiers under Zhang Shun and the 500 cavalry controlled by Yang Bao and Jiang Tie.

However, as the strong men recruited from all over Gansu are heading north one after another, the vacant soldiers of the Tianwu Army should be filled quickly, which is not too worrying for everyone here.

Although the military generals are all together, and there are only four civil officials on the opposite side, Ye Yingwu has to admit that the aura of the four civil officials is no worse than that of the military generals on this side, and the national policy of emphasizing literature and light military force in the Great Song Dynasty still deeply affects everyone in this country.

Ye Yingwu coughed lightly, and all the civil and military people below subconsciously straightened their waists.

"The Tianwu Army is growing stronger and stronger, and it can no longer be stationed in one place." Ye Yingwu said lightly, but everyone below was in their hearts, "Since the middle army of the Tianwu Army has been established, the responsibilities of the rear of the Tianwu Army should be clearer. ”

"The last general will obey the order, please rest assured!" Zhang Guihuo stood up and replied proudly.

His younger brother is the commander of the right wing, and he is the commander of the rear wing, so that Jun's trust in the Zhang family brothers is beyond can't be increased, in addition to desperately leading his subordinates and doing his best for Jun, Zhang Gui and Zhang Shun can't think of any other way to repay.

Looking at the brilliance in Zhang Gui's eyes and even Zhang Shun on the side, Ye Yingwu nodded in encouragement, and then said, "Zhang Cheng, Ma Tingyou!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Both men got up at the same time, their voices loud.

"How about the Jinyi Guard and the Six Doors?" Ye Yingwu looked at the two people with tired faces on their faces, and knew that they had not been busy these days, especially Ma Tingyou, who had to be responsible for the delivery of grain and grass, and had to take his capable subordinates to hurry up and form the 'Six Doors', this time Ye Yingwu and Weng Yinglong were fighting openly and secretly in Tongshan County, and the newly born 'Six Doors' had not been sorted out clearly, so they naturally couldn't help, which made Ma Tingyou very annoyed.

Glancing at each other, Zhang Cheng replied loudly: "Envoy Qiqi, Jinyiwei has sent people to the north, and now our main channels are through carriages and horse shops and post stations, and we have opened a few restaurants in various state capitals in the north, but after all, the time is still short, and it is difficult to become a climate." ”

Such a result is already good, Ye Yingwu smiled and nodded, Ma Tingyou saw Zhang Cheng like this, and he was not far behind: "Qi Qi envoy, the six doors have been extended to Longxing Mansion, and strive to extend the channel out of Jiangnan West Road after this month." However, in Jiangnan West Road, because of the strong support of several ministers, it has been carried out smoothly, and if it goes further, I am afraid that it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Imperial City Division, and then it can only be eaten step by step. ”

Ye Yingwu was undeniably nodding his head to show that he was over, Ye Yingwu was not naïve enough to think that the six doors and the Jinyi Guard would cover the entire world within a few days, in that case, it could only mean that the enemy was deliberately conniving: "As long as you have a number in your hearts, there are no too high requirements for the six doors and the Jinyi Guard, as long as you let the sentinels of the Tianwu Army spread all over the surrounding state capitals within half a year, so that the other party has any first move, and my Tianwu Army has room for maneuver, that's all." ”

Ma Tingyou and Zhang Cheng exhaled at the same time, beads of sweat were already flowing on their foreheads, they also knew what they were doing, so they were also walking on thin ice, and now that Ye Yingwu was so supportive and understanding, their hearts were naturally a lot more relaxed.

Watching these two right-hand brothers sit down, Ye Yingwu turned his gaze to Jiang Duo again: "Brother Guobi (Jiang Duo's character), the military horse ・・・・・・"

Hearing these two words, even Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi, who were on the left and right, were stunned, military horses, for the Great Song Dynasty in the south, were too precious, when Ye Yingwu proposed to form an exclusive cavalry army for the Tianwu Army, everyone here only thought that he was just changing the name of the five hundred cavalry of the hundred battles, but now Ye Yingwu bluntly proposed the military horse, that is, the cavalry is not just the five hundred cavalry!

"The cavalry of the Tianwu Army must be at least more than two thousand." Ye Yingwu said word by word, he wanted to make these two thousand cavalry into the sharp blade of the Tianwu Army.

Jiang Tie was stunned, and met Ye Yingwu's trusting gaze, and a wave of blood surged into his heart.

This time it was Jiang Duo's turn to be embarrassed, he didn't expect Ye Yingwu to come up with such a big problem, which made Jiang Duo have an illusion that this guy must be avenging himself for following Jiang Hao to pour him wine on King Teng's Pavilion.

Not only Jiang Duo, but even Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi could only smile bitterly.

Two thousand cavalry means at least three or four thousand horses to form enough combat power, but where can you find so many horses?

"Horse farm." Ye Yingwu then spit out two more words, "Guobi, Guogang (Jiang Tie's character), this time it depends on you, this Xing** lacks nothing, just a horse farm." In other words, any piece of land you fancy on the land of Gansu can be zoned as a horse farm. ”

"Raise your own horses?!" Jiang Duo was the first to stand up, his face full of shock.

Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu, who were already shocked by Ye Yingwu, also had a feeling on their faces that they had heard it wrong, but looking at Jiang Duo's reaction, they could only smile bitterly and shake their heads.

On the contrary, Jiang Tie seemed to have anticipated what Ye Yingwu wanted to do, so he just nodded solemnly. He is very grateful for Ye Yingwu's trust, he is just a distant nephew of the Jiang family, but he is also good at raising horses, but even this can be held by Ye Yingwu and entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Compared with the nurturing grace of the Jiang family, Jiang Tie cares more about Ye Yingwu's ability to recognize talents and the mind that absolutely trusts you since it is handed over to you, but at the moment, he was the first to meet Ye Yingwu's gaze directly, and said loudly with his fists: "Thank you for entrusting you with the important task, the last general will definitely live up to his mission, dare to ask the envoy, can you transfer several brothers from horse dealers under General Zhang Shun to the last general, and can you requisition and adjust the horses belonging to the Xiang army and township soldiers on Jiangnan West Road?" ”

"Yes." Ye Yingwu said, "Brother Junshi, this matter is a top priority, don't slack off, and do it quickly." The other six doors can be cooperated, which can be regarded as an experience. ”

"Obey!" Lu Xiufu, Ma Tingyou and Guo Chang got up at the same time.

Ye Yingwu nodded and then looked at Jiang Tie: "What else do Guobi and Guogang need?" ”

"We will not fail in our mission!" Jiang Duo and Jiang Tie shouted at the same time, although their voices were low, but with a steely confidence. Jiang Tie was certainly more grateful to Ye Yingwu, and Jiang Duo also knew that this was a test of Ye Yingwu's ability, so he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart to let everyone know that he Jiang Duo was not a dry eater.

Ye Yingwu's gaze didn't linger any longer, and instead drifted to Xie Fangde and Jiang Cheng: "Junzhi (Xie Fangde's character), Guoyan (Jiang Cheng's character), how about Yongxing County and Daye County?" ”

Xie Fangde and Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly, stood up at the same time, Xie Fangde said: "Qi Yu envoy, I want to make you also understand, the first battle of Ezhou, the people along the river fled south, which made the number of people in the three counties of Xing** drop sharply, although it increased later, but ・・・・・・"

Knowing the difficulties of Xie Fangde, Jiang Cheng and his eldest brother Ye Yingji, Ye Yingwu didn't have too many requirements, but as his rear base, Ye Yingwu didn't want to Xing ** The three counties were just his own fortresses, so it was easy to run out of food once the Mongolian army came to the city, and it was difficult to replenish the soldiers in time.

"The matter of the people needs to be discussed with the ministers of Longxing Mansion quickly, and it is really impossible to recruit the people to go north. Also, along the way, there are too many wastelands in the three counties of Xing**, and people must be quickly organized to reclaim it. Ye Yingwu frowned and said, it is definitely not a simple matter to recruit immigrants, coupled with the idea of "relocate" in China since ancient times, it is difficult to solve the urgent need, and the only way now is to make good use of the resources in hand as soon as possible.

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly: "Envoy, you are still human, there are not enough people." ”

In fact, Xie Fangde and Jiang Cheng didn't say that if all the soldiers of the Tianwu Army were transferred to cultivation and construction on the spot, there would be enough people, but it would be impossible, because Xing** overhauled the fortress walls everywhere, in order to cover the back road of the Tianwu Army, and now if the Tianwu Army turns around to build the city wall, it will not put the cart before the horse.

But although the two of them didn't say it, everyone here was not stupid, and they knew at a glance that the people around them also understood. Gritting his teeth slightly, Lu Xiufu stood up and said: "Envoy, is it possible to draw out half of the soldiers, after all, there are still Dajiang and Huangzhou, no matter how bad it is, you can gather the Tianwu army before the Mongolian iron cavalry arrives." What's more, there are two Huaishui divisions coming and going to be on guard. ”

"The Admiral thinks that this matter needs to be carefully discussed." Lu Xiufu expressed his position on behalf of the civilian officials, and Su Liuyi hurriedly stood up, "The Tianwu Army is now in a weak period, the new soldiers are not trained, and the old soldiers are already tired from running back and forth. ”

"The last general seconded it!" Seeing Su Liuyi fearlessly meet Lu Hideo's challenge, the generals below stood up almost at the same time, even if their own views were negligent, they couldn't give in half a point.

"The lower officials are against it!" At this juncture, there was no room for hesitation, and Xie Fang and Jiang Chengfei also stood up.

Seeing that it was on top of the civil and military contradictions that could not be solved by all dynasties and dynasties, even Ye Yingwu couldn't help but sigh at night, in his conception, it was best to slightly press the civil officials, so that the civil and military under his command could have equal dialogue and healthy competition, but now it seems that he still underestimated the temperament of these generals.

Ye Yingwu's actions made Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu stunned, and then an embarrassed look appeared on their faces, what was wrong with him, and he reacted so violently? Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu couldn't help but ask in their hearts.

Is it because he is dissatisfied with Ye Yingwu's deliberate suppression of civilian officials?

Is it because you are very annoyed by the arrogance of civil officials?

But no matter what the other party is, after all, it is his own people, after all, it is the people of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, it is the people of the Tianwu Army, and after all, it is the people who are supporting and advancing together in this world!

But・・・・・・ but, now that everyone is standing like this, whoever sits down first will not lose? If you talk in that case, you will have to be a dwarf.

"All sit down!" Ye Yingwu slapped the seat suddenly, and his voice was violent!

Up to the two leaders of Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi, and down to the civil and military people, I was shocked in my heart! Ye Yingwu has never been angry with his subordinates, he has always been eager to seek talent and follow advice, and it is the first time that he has been so angry today!

Almost subconsciously, all the civil and military people sat down with a "Huo", and there was a gloomy and cold atmosphere in the entire meeting hall, even in the summer south at the end of May, everyone present couldn't help but fight a cold war first. The twenty-year-old young chief officer, his eyes were as bright as torches, just looked at them, and everyone who looked at them lowered their heads.

Lu Xiufu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Su Liuyi clenched his fists and released them, and took a light breath.

The tiger is not powerful, and he really treats him as a sick cat. But fortunately, Ye Yingwu immediately changed to a somewhat reluctant smile: "Since they are all so assertive, then let's talk about it." What should the Tianwu Army do now, should it be armed for war, or should it be reclaimed and built into a city? ”

This time it was the turn of the people below. Ye Yingwu was in trouble just now, but he didn't reveal his attitude from beginning to end, so that the people below didn't know what to do. After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao took the lead in standing up and said: "Envoy Qiyu, the last general thinks that some soldiers can be drawn out to participate in the construction of the city wall, and they can continue to levy people, not only limited to Jiangnan West Road, but also the state capitals of the surrounding roads can also be considered, and there are ・・・・・・"

Jiang Hao, who has always dared to speak out, was the first to jump out, but it was expected, and seeing Zhang Cheng next to Jiang Hao slightly tilted his head and his lips slightly opened and closed, Ye Yingwu just smiled slightly, already knowing it in his heart, and motioned for him to continue.

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Hao continued: "Also, in the north of this Xing**, there is still an army available." ”

Still have an army available? Everyone in the room frowned.

There is also an army that is the two Huaishui Divisions, although the two Huaishui Divisions are also out-and-out their own families, but in any case, they still need to garrison the waterways of the Great River and cover the back roads of Huangzhou, and their own troops are still stretched, how can they divide some soldiers to support Xing**?

One after another, eyes converged on Ye Yingwu's body.

Zhang Shijie, the commander of the two Huaishui divisions, is Ye Yingwu's eldest brother-in-law, an out-and-out family, and Zhang Shijie takes care of Ye Yingwu, which is also visible to everyone, so if you want to poach people from Zhang Shijie, you can only rely on Ye Yingwu.

No wonder Zhang Cheng, a goblin guy, refused to jump out by himself, he dared to dig a pit for himself, Ye Yingwu slandered. In fact, he didn't think that he could hold Huangzhou with the ability of the two Huai Shui Divisions, and now the two Huai Shui Divisions are actually putting on a show, and what is really stationed in Macheng is the original Huangzhou Xiang Army and some township soldiers drawn from Qizhou, and how much combat power these soldiers have can be imagined.

For Ah Shu, the place where the halberd was broken - Macheng was actually a piece of fat that had reached his mouth, if it weren't for Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan with a large army to watch on the side, I'm afraid Ah Shu would have been unable to help but pounce on it.

Whether in the hearts of Ye Yingwu or Zhang Shijie, Huangzhou is already an outcast, as long as the Mongolian iron cavalry crosses the Han River again, Huangzhou will be abandoned immediately. The two Huaishui divisions are now mainly to ensure the smooth flow of the Yangtze River and the Han waterway, to ensure that the hinterland of the Jiangnan West Road will not be driven into by the Mongol cavalry in the last battle of Ezhou, and at the same time to ensure that they can come to the aid of Xiangyang at any time.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Yingwu looked at Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu beside him: "In fact, there is a way to kill two birds with one stone, but you need to risk the world's condemnation." ”

Ye Yingwu thought about it, Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi were not stupid, how could they not have imagined that a trace of bitterness appeared on their faces at the moment. On the contrary, Xie Fangde and Jiang Cheng, who were involved in their own mission by this matter, had a little expectation on their faces.

What do you mean, looking at Ye Yingwu's somewhat tangled face, and then looking at the different expressions of the others, even Wang Jin and Jiang Hao already understood.
