As he wished, he became the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, Bi Shiduo was difficult to hold himself, and the 100,000 army under his command was originally a little commotion, after all, there were still many people who were Gao Yu's henchmen, or had a good relationship with Qin Yan, Li Hanzhi and others, Bi Shiduo could not clean up on a large scale, which would disturb the morale of the army, so he thought that the attitude of the imperial court was very important.

All the foreshadowing that should be done has been done, and Tian Lingzi has also hooked up with him, the holy decree of the imperial court came much faster than he imagined, and his recital was only half a month away, and the appointment of the Huainan Festival envoy arrived.

The 100,000 army quickly calmed down, and everyone knew that Bi Shiduo became the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, and he became the real commander of the army, which is an impossible fact to change.

After Bi Shiduo took office, it was not easy, Gao Biao's arrangement before leaving, it was tantamount to lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, there were riots in various parts of the south, let this situation develop, Yangzhou would also be affected, and the court would also blame, Bi Shiduo must pacify the riots in the south in the shortest possible time, but in the middle of the holy decree, it means that the Iron Blood Army is also responsible for pacifying the riots in the south, which makes Bi Shiduo have an ominous premonition in his heart.

The premonition was quickly confirmed, Li Rupei had sent the Iron Blood Army into Huainan Dao, and the news of the continuous arrival made Bi Shiduo's back break out in a cold sweat and make him tremble.

Bi Shiduo has no cronies around him, and after designing to get rid of Qin Yan and Li Han, the festival made the officials of the yamen even more nervous, as for those henchmen in the army, there are still some deficiencies in governing local affairs, and Bi Shiduo surrendered to the court from Huang Chao, not a scholar, and the strategists he can make friends with are very limited.

This led to a lot of things that Bador had to decide for himself.

After thinking for a long time, Bi Shiduo wrote down four words: salute first and then soldier.

Gwangju State City.

As soon as he entered Gwangju, Gao Chibang's bag, he never imagined that Wang Xu was such a bastard. It turned out that Gwangju City was a mess, and the money, food, and grass were almost looted, and the soldiers who stayed in the city, after learning the news that Wang Xu was killed, carried out another looting, if it were not for the iron-blooded soldiers who arrived in time and killed a large number of rebels, I am afraid that Gwangju City would become a veritable ghost town.

Taking over such a city is tantamount to carrying a heavy burden, and at this time Gao Chibang finally understood. Why did Li Rupei say those words, why was he in a hurry to dispatch officials from Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, these thorny matters of people's livelihood are really not something that he, the protector of the iron-blooded army, can properly handle.

Fortunately, the officials sent by Cui Anqian soon rushed to Gwangju, and from the mouths of the officials sent, Gao Chibang knew that more than 500 officials were transferred from Shannan East Province and Shannan West Province this time, scattered in five states, of which Gwangju had the largest number. Nearly 200 people, and more than 50 people arrived in Gwangju City.

The relief has been properly arranged, and because the relief has been launched in a timely manner, Gwangju seems to be very calm. Including the county towns and villages below, there have been no big twists and turns, and there is another thing that everyone did not expect, that is, there are no bandits in this generation. It turned out that when Huang Chao occupied these places, the bandits had no way to live, and Huang Chao was the fierce master. Knowing how to deal with those bandits who occupied the mountains as kings, after the Iron Blood Army entered Gwangju, the sergeants under Huang Chao fled cleanly, and no one wanted to stay and die.

After the arrival of the officials, the Iron Army is not able to interfere in local affairs at will, but is only temporarily responsible for the management of local security, but it will not last long, the government has begun to quickly restore the patrol house, and gradually control the local security.

This made Gao Chibang look much more relaxed, and the 20,000 iron-blooded soldiers stationed in Gwangju gradually relaxed, and Gao Chibang did not want the soldiers to be idle, so he started training again.

Since entering Huainan Road, Gao Chibang has thought of giving Li Rupei a suggestion to expand the Iron Blood Army again, the current Iron Blood Army has always reached 100,000 people, of which 50,000 are responsible for garrisoning Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, and the other 50,000 people have entered Huainan Road, but the number is still not enough, and the Iron Blood Army still has a lot to do, so it should be further expanded and recruited sergeants, but this suggestion has not been said so far, Gao Chibang can feel that Li Rupei has no intention of expanding the Iron Blood Army for the time being.

The mansion where Gao Chibang temporarily lived, that is, the mansion occupied by Wang Xu after raising troops, he used this place as a camp, the owner of this mansion used to be a famous gentry in Gwangju City, but unfortunately the family was killed by Wang Xu, the state government is the place where officials work and live, Gao Chibang does not want to join in the fun.

When the soldiers came in with a jade pendant to report, Gao Chibang was reading in the study.

After seeing the jade pendant, Gao Chibang's expression was solemn, and he asked where the person was coming, and the soldiers said that they were waiting outside the house, Gao Chibang thought for a while, and asked the soldiers to bring the people to the council hall, and he would arrive immediately.

The person who came was a chubby middle-aged man, with fine skin and tender meat, who seemed to have lived a good life and had good maintenance.

Gao Chibang was a little strange why such a person would become Bi Shiduo's messenger.

The visitor introduced himself, saying that he was a representative of Yangzhou salt merchants, and there are currently shops in Xiangyang and Liangzhou.

Gao Chibang nodded slightly, no wonder such a person came to Gwangju, it turned out that when Bi Shiduo sent the envoy, he also thought about it carefully, Xiangyang and Liangzhou both paid more attention to the status of the merchants, and also seriously protected the safety and interests of the merchants.

"General Gao, Huainan Jiedu envoy Bi Gong entrusted a certain person to bring a letter, specifically asking a certain person to wait for General Gao's reply."

The businessman was very happy to do things, and the middle-aged man did not talk too much, took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Gao Chibang.

A pro-soldier took the letter from the middle-aged man and carefully handed it to Gao Chibang.

Gao Chibang cared about the content of the letter at the moment, and he didn't care what the attitude of the businessman was, he opened the letter in front of the businessman and looked at it carefully.

A quarter of an hour later, a sneer appeared on Gao Chibang's face.

"Don't you know what the purpose of Bi Shiduo sent you to Gwangju this time?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, he really didn't know what the specific purpose of this trip was, Bi Shiduo was the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, and asked him to send a letter to Gwangju, be sure to hand it over to the general of the iron-blooded army, wait for the reply, and the rest of the things were not much to say, the middle-aged man went south and north, he has always been doing business, he has seen too much of the world, and he can faintly guess the purpose of this trip, but he will never inquire about anything, in this era, Mingzhe is the best choice.

"Such an important matter, Bi Shiduo actually didn't let you know, so I'll tell you directly, Huainan Jiedu made Bi Shiduo ask to lead the iron-blooded army to evacuate Gwangju, what do you say."

The middle-aged man's face turned pale by the way, since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, what ability did he have to participate in such a big thing.

"General Gao atoned for his sins, he really didn't know that it was such a thing, he was only responsible for bringing letters, and he didn't even count as a messenger, General Gao also knew that he was a businessman, so he knew how to do business, and he never cared about the affairs of the government."

Gao Chibang's face returned to calm, and he didn't plan what to do with Shang Jia.

"Come and don't be rude, Bi Shiduo Xiu has a letter, and a certain must be a reply, or please bring the letter to Bi Shiduo, you wait here for a few days, and after a certain serious thought, you will reply to the letter."

Xiangyang, Wangfu.

Li Rupei, who had not long returned to the palace, was reading Bi Shiduo's letter carefully in the study.

Cui An sat next to him, lost in thought, he had already read Bi Shiduo's letter.

"What does my father-in-law think about this?"

"Lord Wang, I have thought about it carefully, this letter from Master Bi is reasonable, since he is the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, he thanks the Iron and Blood Army for helping to quell the riots in Gwangju, Huangzhou, Shenzhou, Anzhou and Chuzhou, after the riots have subsided, it is reasonable to ask the Iron Army to withdraw from Huainan Province, and it can also be supported by the imperial court, but the Iron Blood Army will withdraw like this, it will definitely not work, I think that this letter should not be written, so I will reply to an empty letter."

A smile appeared on Li Rupei's face.

"What my father-in-law said is very reasonable, but I don't plan to do this, I said a long time ago, everything will be handled according to the emperor's will, I'm afraid the iron-blooded army will not exist for a long time, where it should be tough, if it is still tough, I will reply to Bi Shiduo, the iron-blooded army will not withdraw from Gwangju and other places for the time being, these places have just calmed down the riots, and it will take time to stabilize, and Bi Shiduo has just taken office, and it will be very good to govern Yangzhou and other places."

Cui Anqian couldn't cry or laugh, if Li Rupei replied like this, Bi Shiduo would be angry like thunder, which implied that there was a riot in the south, which had a lot to do with him Bi Shiduo, and it was also ridiculed for his Bi Shiduo's position as a festival envoy, which was not very upright.

"The meaning of the prince, a certain is understood, but toughness is reflected in action, there is no need to be reckless, and such a reply, Bi Shiduo will definitely complain to the court, and the reply is also one of the reasons why he called it, in this situation, don't let the court catch any handle for the time being, just bury yourself in doing things."

Li Rupei sighed.

"What my father-in-law said is that I want to be strong, and if there is no need for this, I will do what my father-in-law wants, but Gao Chibang needs to strengthen his vigilance, and Bi Shiduo may not be convinced, and may provoke trouble."

This time, Cui Anqian smiled.

"Isn't the prince waiting for such an opportunity?"

Li Rupei looked at Cui Anqian, and laughed, he was indeed waiting for such an opportunity, attacking for no reason, there are always some unspeakable things, and things that want to cover up also need to be done, at least they can be used to fool the court. (To be continued......)
