The daily training in the army is also in full swing, and now the training of each regiment is separated, and under the encouragement of Jia Rong, they are comparing with each other, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training is extremely high, and the number of senior and inferior soldiers distributed in each regiment is roughly the same, and which battalion has more senior soldiers has become the target of the recent competition among the soldiers of each regiment.

After the expansion of the army, the strength of the Xiliang Army reached 80,000, and 20,000 were newly selected recruits in the winter of last year, lacking battlefield experience, but under the drive of veterans, the training effect was very good, and they could become elite soldiers after being tempered by war.

In the general's mansion, Jia Rong took the list of new officials handed over by Zhang Zhao, and looked at it carefully, this time the selection of talents is not the same as in the past, Liangzhou is pacified, and a large number of officials are needed to govern, and the county guards and county orders are all based on this list, so they have to be cautious.

Suddenly, one of the names caught Jia Rong's attention.

"Chuan Zhang-sama!"

After the tea kung fu, under the leadership of Zhao Li, Zhang Zhao hurried over, and now it is the time of spring busy, Liangzhou is in ruins, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Li are busy all day long.

Looking at Zhang Zhao, whose eyes were dark and his face was a little haggard, Jia Rong said with concern: "Zibu, in addition to handling official business, you must take care of your body. ”

"Thank you for your care, my humble body is strong."

"No matter how heavy the official business is, it is not as important as Zibu's body, don't play with it, your body has collapsed, what should hundreds of thousands of people in Liangzhou Sanfu do?" Jia Rong said solemnly.

Zhang Zhao was moved and bowed: "No! ”

"Zibu, who are you saying about Pingxiang's county commander Chen Qun?" Pingxiang used to be the city where the Xiliang army resisted tens of thousands of rebels from Han Sui, which was of great significance, and it was of great significance to be able to be appointed by Zhang Zhao as the county commander of this place, so he was naturally a person with extraordinary ability.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zhao replied: "Chen Qun is a person from Yingchuan, and after considering the humble position, he found that this person is good, so he was appointed as the county commander, but in three months, the local governance was in order, and it was the humble position that appointed him as the Pingxiang order." ”

"Yingchuan, Chen Qun." Jia Rong stood up excitedly, "Quickly send this person to see me." ”

Zhang Zhao didn't understand why Jia Rong was so excited, and said with a wry smile: "The lord is a humiliating position, Chen Qun is serving in a foreign country, even if he rushes back, it will take some time." ”

Jia Rong shook his head and smiled: "It's me who lost my temper." ”

"In less than three days, the lord will be able to see Chen Qun himself, Chen Qun was previously the commander of Niyang County, with outstanding political achievements, and was transferred to the Pingxiang County Order, these days are the time when the county commanders from all over the country come to Chang'an to hand over their posts."

Jia Rong nodded again and again, but his heart flew to Chen Qun's body, the Xiliang army is strong, but the rule is a lack of capable people to govern the place, no matter how strong Zhang Zhao Zhang Li's ability is, it is always two people, the students from the school, it is okay to govern a hundred miles of land in a short time, but the county guard is not capable.

Three days later, Jia Rong made a rare appearance in the place where civil officials handled official business, which made a group of officials excited, and it was not easy for the lord to take time out of his busy schedule to come.

Of course, Zhang Zhao knew what Jia Rong was here for, and secretly shook his head slightly, that Chen Qun, in terms of talent, there is no shortage of people in the Xiliang Army who can compare with him, but Jia Rong came here regardless of his identity.

"Wait a minute, Chen Qun will be here later." Zhang Zhao bowed slightly.

Jia Rong kept looking in the direction of the door, Zhang Zhao walked boringly to the place where he handled official business, in charge of heavenly punishment, responsible for the dispatch of officials of the Xiliang Army, Zhang Zhao also became a busy man, not touching the ground all day long, often working until the night shift.

About half an hour, a guard came to say, "My lord, Chen Qun and Chen County Commander are asking to see you outside the mansion." ”

Jia Rong got up and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”

The soldier glanced at Jia Rong in surprise, Nuo Nuo said yes, turned around and walked out the door, Jia Rong personally said that the person he wanted to meet quickly must be an extremely important person.

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but walk up to Jia Rong and whispered: "Lord, that Chen Qun is just a county order, and the lord is a general, so I am afraid it will be inappropriate to belittle my identity like this." ”

Jia Rong also woke up and said with a smile: "Thanks to Zibu's words, although you deal with Chen Qun's affairs, I will only watch from the side." ”

Zhang Zhao nodded yes, but he had the idea of taking the school Chen Qun in his heart, the person who can be favored by the lord is by no means an easy person, for Jia Rong has never met Chen Qun but can judge Chen Qun's talent, Zhang Zhao is not surprised, can he create a glass fairy love and wine and other strange things, can he use common sense.

"Humble Chen Qun greets Lord Zhang!"

Jia Rong sat in a position under Zhang Zhao's head, but it was not conspicuous, and he looked at Chen Qun in the field carefully, only to see that this person had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was wearing an official mansion on his body, majestic and free, and he was a Confucian student.

"Lord Chen, please get up." Zhang Zhao said in a flat tone.

Chen Qun bowed his head and said yes, only Jia Rong stared at Chen Qun tightly, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

Chen Qun smiled at him.

"Lord Chen, I see that you are quite organized in governing the place, and the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment, especially in the winter snowstorm, you can organize the people to survive the cold winter, and lead the people to reclaim 10,000 acres of land, which is commendable!" Zhang Zhao picked up the copywriter and read.

"Thank you for your praise, the humble position can govern the place well, and it is also in the situation that the general has completely settled down Liangzhou, it can only be said that it is the work of the general, and the humble position is just pushing the boat down the river."

Zhang Zhao nodded unscrupulously, meritorious but not arrogant, such a talent is what all monarchs need, Jia Rong has the wisdom to know people, like Jia Xu, but he is just a small person in an idle family, he can gradually become a military advisor, with a high position and power, Zhang Li also started from the end of the slightest.

"Lord Chen, let's talk about it, what if you are asked to govern the land of Liangzhou?" Zhang Zhao saw Jia Rong staring at Chen Qun with bright eyes, slightly unhappy in his heart, and spoke.

"My lord, Liangzhou is barren, Jincheng has been governed by the general, and the prosperity is not inferior to the big counties in the interior, not to mention for the time being, the remaining nine counties, Dunhuang and Zhangye in the north, have experienced wars many times, the people are not happy, and the lowly post has been heard, the general said 'for the welfare of the people', so everything must start from the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and do not worry about food and clothing." Chen Qun was not stage frightened, and said: "The people, the people who are plotted, are just full of food and clothing, the general is widely benevolent in the land of Liangzhou, just follow this path to govern the people, but it is even more difficult to have the prosperity of the land of Jincheng, if there is no stability for decades, it is not easy." ”

Chen Qun had to admire Jia Rong's means when Jia Rong ordered to gather the displaced people who flocked from all over the country, and when Liangzhou showed changes after a winter, he was amazed.

"Lord Chen's words have won my heart, and I don't know how adults want to work for the welfare of the people." Jia Rong couldn't help but ask.

Chen Qun also thought that Jia Rong was an official under Zhang Zhao, and said to Jia Rong: "Seeking welfare for the people, in short, is to gain the hearts of the people for the Xiliang Army and get the support of the people. ”

Jia Rong daxiao said: "Lord Chen is really a wonderful person, if the land of Sanfu is handed over to you to govern, can you dare to do it?" You can't talk about it. ”

Chen Qun's body stagnated slightly, and in the face of such a provocation, the literati's spirit of not admitting defeat instantly burst out: "This lord, don't say that it is the land of Sanfu, that is, the land of Liangzhou, and I am confident that it will be governed properly." ”

Zhang Zhao scolded when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Jia Rong said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, Lord Chen has this ambition, this general will fulfill you, from now on, you will govern the land of Sanfu." ”

At the moment when Zhang Zhao reprimanded, Chen Qun realized that Jia Rong was extraordinary, and he was able to interject when Zhang Zhao spoke, and his status was significantly higher than that of Zhang Zhao, plus this person regarded himself as a general, and he was obviously the one in the Xiliang Army.

"Humble and rude, offending the general, please forgive the general!" Chen Qun fell to his knees.

Jia Rong walked up to Chen Qun and helped him up, "Lord Chen is a genius in governing the country, and it is not difficult to govern the land of Sanfu, but there are more than 100,000 displaced people in the land of Chang'an, it is not a trivial matter, please ask Lord Zhang for advice if you don't understand." ”

Chen Qunbai said: "Thanks to the general's trust, dare not work hard." ”

Jia Rong patted Chen Qun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, Lord Chen has such ambitions, very good, today I set up a banquet in the General's Mansion to invite you." ”

The faces of the officials were happy, especially the low-level officials, it was not easy to see Jia Rong, and it should be such a scenery to be able to go to the General's Mansion for a banquet, but a discerning person could see that Jia Rong was establishing his prestige for Chen Qun, in the final analysis, Chen Qun's foundation in the Xiliang Army was too shallow.

It was night, the General's Mansion was brightly lit and the music was endless.

Jia Rong raised his glass frequently, and his subordinates found that Chen Qun and other officials were refreshed, Zhang Zhao and others understood, and kept saying hello to Chen Qun, no matter how high Chen Qun's alcohol consumption was, he couldn't withstand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of this group of wine veterans.

What's even more gratifying is that the young man next to Chen Qun, with a slightly pale face and smart eyes, Jia Rong recognized at a glance that he was a young Confucian student from Shuijing Villa.

It was also Guo Jia's greed, and when he heard that Jia Rong was feasting officials in the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but come with Chen Qun.

When the wine was half-drunk, Jia Rong slightly signaled to Zhao Yun beside him.

"Everyone, be quiet, you're in Liangzhou, I'm afraid you've all tasted wine, right?" Jia Rong asked.

Everyone in the audience nodded their heads, but they didn't dare to compliment the taste of wine in their hearts, and only a few people had a look of nostalgia on their faces.

"The wine is sweet in color and aroma, mixed with bitter taste, how similar to life, and General Zhao will bring wine for you to taste later."
