Early the next morning, a group of people went out from the east gate of Yidu City, and at noon, a group of people came in from the north gate.

Those who went out of the east gate were Yang Xingjian, Fang Congzhe and others. Yang Xingjian sent an envoy to Taizhou, and Fang Congzhe sent an envoy to western Zhejiang. Whether you go to Taizhou or to western Zhejiang, you can't go by land, only by sea. They were to go to Wendeng first, take Liu Yang's boat, and then go their separate ways to the south.

Fang Congzhe is only a deputy envoy, and the main envoy to western Zhejiang is Luo Guoqi, who is still in Haidong. Deng She had already sent an order, and also told him to go directly to Wendeng first, where he would meet Fang Congzhe. The two missions, below the chief and deputy envoys, are all elite soldiers and strong generals, and all of them are people who cannot speak the truth. Brought a lot of gifts.

——Mao Gui and Wang Shicheng have been running Shandong for many years, and they still have some savings. Deng She chose all the precious and rare ones to the mission. and personally saw him off, explaining to Yang Xingjian and Fang Congzhe: "At any cost." As long as they promise to give food, they can agree to whatever they ask. ”

In the two missions, there were also people with them who had a general secretary. Li Shousheng's Yidu Tong Political Division, although his tentacles have not yet penetrated into Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he still has some understanding of the ministers and nobles under Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen. Take them with you, maybe it can make a difference at a critical moment.

Moreover, the people in the General Administration Department have been trained in meticulous work, and they still have a hand in underground work.

Deng She has always believed that all things are born and the same rice feeds all kinds of people, and it must be useful. Even if it is a local chicken and tile dog, as long as it is placed in the right place, it will be very useful. After sending the mission away, he did not return to the city, but kept watching them go away, took Yan Zhixi and others, turned to the south, and continued to inspect the people.

At noon, those who came in from the north gate were Chen Yutou, Gao Yanshi, Liu Yang and others.

Liu Yang actually arrived in the morning, but because he was greeted at noon, he waited outside the city for a while. Wait until Chen Yutou and others come and enter the city together.

Wen Huaguo, Zhao Guo, Zhang Jier, Fu Youde, Guo Conglong and others went out of the city to greet them. Thirty miles out of the city, the drums sounded in unison. At the same time, the generals opened the banner given by Deng She and waved it in the wind. The yellow sky and white ground, the red flag and black letters, with a team of guards in armor, are shining brightly. From a distance, it is very majestic and majestic.

When everyone sees each other, there is a lively atmosphere.

Wen Huaguo, as the highest official position, came to toast first and express his dust. Subsequently, Zhao Guo, as the local governor of Shandong and the right minister of Yidu Province, dictated Deng She's decree and solemnly handed over the two banners of "Destroying the Front Army" and "Taishan Battalion" to Gao Yanshi and Li Zifan. Gao and Li knelt down to thank him, and even opened the banner of Chen Rutou's "Red Courage Chen Rutou".

For a time, the wind was blowing, the yellow sand was spreading, the guns were like a forest, and the eyes were full of flags.

Wen Huaguo glanced at the many flags and thought, "Brother She'er taught us to open the flags when we went out of the city and entered the city. Good strategy. In the past two days, the garrison outside Yidu City, seeing that the people of Yidu are not upset. As soon as these flags are swept over and swaggered through the market, it will obviously be of great help to publicize the prestige of our Haidong military and to boost the atmosphere of the people. "Thumbs up, tsk.

He and Chen Yutou have been known to each other for a long time and met for the first time. Deng She had already explained, he knew that if Haidong wanted to gain a firm foothold in Shandong, Chen Rutou and other local veterans had to be wooed. At that moment, seeing that the official affairs were over, he took the initiative to lower his figure, shh

Gao Yanshi didn't care, he didn't have any scheming. Chen Yutou thought in his heart: "I have long heard that Pyongyang Wenhwa is the righteous uncle of the Lord. In the first battle of conquering South Goryeo, he coordinated the three armies, coordinated the generals, and even wore a strong and stubborn line, went to the front line in person, and then broke the Li army, captured the Li Wang, and opened up thousands of miles for our Haidong. The sound is far away.

"Now I have crossed the Hanhai Sea to save my Yidu urgency. In the face of danger, he was ordered to be in no chaos, and drove Zhang Zhen'er, Zhao Guo, and Guo Conglong to be brave and brave, like an arm. Outside Changbai Mountain, face Guanbao. Thinking about that Guanbao, 3,000 people swept through the southeast, what a bravery! But he was not his opponent, and he won the battle, and drove Chahan away.

"When the lord had not yet entered Yidu, he heard rumors among the people, 'There are three tigers in Haidong, one Wen, one Chen, and one Zhuge '. That's true! It can be called the pillar of our Haidong. It's just that he never expected that he was in a high position, but he was such easy-going and unpretentious. ”

In the end, he is more sensitive, and if Wen Huaguo has a little support, he will inevitably feel guilty. At this time, seeing the attitude of Wen and Zhao Zhujiang, he nodded secretly, very satisfied.

"There are three tigers in Haidong" Yunyun is a few folk songs made by Deng She when he first came to Yidu to compete for the hearts of the people of Yidu. At that time, Zhao Zhong was in charge of the dissemination. is "not afraid of ten tigers from the south, only afraid of one wolf from the north"; It's "Purple Qi from the East" and so on. "There are three tigers in Haidong" is also one of them. "Wen" naturally refers to Wenhua Kingdom; "Chen" is Chen Hu; "Zhuge ", but it is Hong Jixun who is talking about.

After everyone finished speaking, Wen and Zhao led the way, and the group returned to the city.

Although the troops brought by Chen Yutou and Gao Yanshi had already diverted to camp outside the city. But they still brought dozens of personal soldiers with them. Together with the guards of Wen and Zhao, there are also three or four hundred people. All are cavalry. Walking against the wind, the horse's hooves are trampling, and the movement is not small. Running all the way, it attracted many people along the way to watch. When you enter the city, it will cause a sensation.

Everyone is a tiger, and a horse is a dragon. Under the reflection of the winter sun, the armor is dazzling and the equipment is distinct.

The generals marched one after the other according to the division of the host and the guest, and the order of the official ranks. Every time there are about ten people, there is a small flag, which is the military flag of each ten-person team. And every time there are dozens of people, there is another big flag. This is the flag given by Dunshe. Whether it is a small flag or a big flag, the flag bearers are all tall and mighty. Sit upright on a horse and fly the flag.

Those who are literate will read every time they pass a flag, and read it to the onlookers.

"Naked and bold. ......, this is Tai'an Chen Dashuai. I heard that he was in Tai'an, fighting tens of thousands of Tartars with a lone army, dozens of battles of all sizes, killing countless enemies, and no less than dozens of Tartar chieftains were killed in battle, trying to protect Tai'an. In order to show his merits, this flag was written by King Yan himself and given to him. ”

"Destroyer. ......, who is this talking about? ”

Gao Yanshi has a high opinion in Yidu, many people know him, and someone said: "Look at the person sitting under the banner, it is clearly a high general." ......, Bladebreaker? This flag is good. General Gao is brave and invincible, and only the word 'destroying the front' is worthy of him. I don't know if this flag was written by King Yan himself? ”

"Needless to say! Although I am illiterate, I can also see that this flag and Chen Dashuai's flag, the words are more similar, it must have come from the hand of one person, and it must have been written by King Yan. ......, another flag came. May I ask that talented brother, what is written on it? ”

"Camp Tarzan."

A well-informed person said: "This flag was given to Li Zifan by King Yan. ”

"Who is Li Zifan?"

"You know that our city guards General Li, right? General Li was a monk, you know? General Li's legal name is Li Zijian, and this Li Zifan is his junior brother. In Mount Tai, he and General Gao Xiao joined forces to block the Tartars of Tai'an and prevent them from meeting Jinan. And Tai'an's Tartars have increased their troops by tens of thousands before and after, and there is nothing they can do about them. 'Mount Tai Battalion', as stable as Mount Tai. It's very good at fighting! ”

Chen Yu's three people are considered "guests", so they are at the forefront.

'Another flag!' Camp Longbow',......。 This is talking about Marshal Zhang of Guanbei. 'Thunderbolt', it must be Fu Youde. General Fu dares to fight with Thunderbolt! Look at his eyebrows, which have not yet grown out of the fire burned by the thunder. Ah! He glanced at me and was scared to death,...... What is it called? This is murderous, right? Did you know? General Fu was originally a subordinate of Chen Youliang of the Han Kingdom, and he came to my Yidu as an envoy and met our King Yan. At first sight, I was shocked! ……。 ”

"What do you mean by being shocked?"

"......, our Yan King is a star in the sky, you know? Thinking of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he went to bed in the middle of the night, and people saw a dragon coiled on him, which is also the star descending to earth. Specially designed to save the world. ”

"Strange words! It's not like I haven't seen King Yan. In the morning, King Yan sent people out of the city, and I took a look from afar, why didn't I see any coiled dragons on my body? ”

The man who spoke rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "What are you?" The second king of Chengxi, who doesn't know you? A good hand at stealing chickens and dogs! Just you? Also worthy of being compared with General Fu? Who is General Fu? Dare to fight the thunderbolt, do you dare? General Fu is also a celestial man. It's just that he, a celestial man, is not a star, he is a little lower than King Yan, and he is a heavenly general. Specially to assist King Yan. Therefore, as soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately saw that King Yan was a celestial. He is the one who he has come down to help him.

"In the former Song Dynasty, King Kang crossed the river with mud horses. These are all people with destiny. Chen Youliang betrayed the master and killed Xu Shouhui, have you all heard of it? How can it be compared with the generosity and benevolence of our Yan King? Fu Youde saw the identity of King Yan, and immediately bowed his head and voted for our Haidong. ”

This person is about the background of Mr. Storyteller, and his words are strange, and the bluffing audience is stunned. As he was talking, he suddenly heard the people on the street cheering, and the windows of the high-rise buildings facing the street were also pushed open, or the guests who were eating in the restaurant, or the girls in the boudoir, there was a cheer everywhere. There are bold girls, and even throw sachets and embroidered handkerchiefs. Full of red sleeves.

When they hurried to look, they saw that the procession had come to an end, and that at the end of the generals was a young and heroic general. Behind him was a big flag, slanted out, which read: "Haidong Guo Conglong." ”

"Wow! It's General Guo also. In the first battle with Chahan, three in and three out of the Tartar camp, the Tartar general was seriously injured in the battle, and retreated calmly. In order to save the southeast and fight his way out of the encirclement, Ma stepped on the company camp and fought two battles in Chahan, and dozens of Tatar battalions could not surround him. In the third battle of Wendeng, 2,000 people attacked on a snowy night, stabbed the enemy general, climbed the city tower first, won the first battle, and ushered in the reinforcements of Haidong. Fourth, he fought fiercely in Changbai Mountain, took the lead, skillfully used his wits to induce Guan Bao to chase after the enemy, and finally fell into the encirclement of Wenpingzhang.

"Earlier, he had only joined the army, and as a small soldier, he captured the king of Goryeo. It is the first brave in my Haidong, and the good general is unparalleled! ”

"Haidong Guo Conglong!" The cry shook the ground.

This cheer spread from street to street, and finally, the whole city shouted. The people of Wenhua Kingdom really didn't expect Guo Conglong to have such a reputation, staring at each other with big eyes and looking at each other. Guo Conglong didn't expect it. Somewhat embarrassed, he mounted on his horse and waved to the people.

Gao Yonsei, who was walking in front, returned triumphantly, and he was proud of himself, but when he heard this call, he was angry. Suddenly, I remembered that when Guo Conglong snatched Xiao Mao Pingzhang, the two of them had fought each other, and he suffered a small loss.

He was originally a competitive person, but he became more and more jealous and pantothenic. Snorted, urged the mount, rushed to Chen Rutou in front, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up." Didn't Zhao Youcheng say that the lord had prepared a banquet and wanted to invite us to drink at night? Seeing that we have been on the road for a few days in a row, covered in dust, it is disrespectful to see the lord like this. Go home first and wash so you can change your clothes. ”

He didn't know that the reason why Guo Conglong was so famous and so dominant was that of course he had his own achievements, but the most important reason was that he was secretly promoted by Deng She.

As early as when Deng She was in Haidong, he attached great importance to cultural work, and once ordered Wu Henian and others to produce many "new era miscellaneous dramas". Practice has proved that this is a very good way to unite the people's will and boost their morale. Therefore, after defeating Chahan, he also ordered Ji Zongzhou, Luo Lilang, etc., to gather literati, and in just a few days, many miscellaneous plays, storytelling, legendary stories, small songs, etc. were created.

And just like the old practice in Haidong, all the storytellers and singers in the city were organized and handed over to Zhao Zhong for unified and centralized publicity.

If Koyonsei had come back a few days earlier, if he had walked around the city, he would have been surprised to find that almost all the teahouses, liquor shops, Goolan, and Vasher, all the storytellers and kabuki dancers in Itodo Castle were telling and singing stories about the battle.

"Wenhua Guo Saves Haidong", "Fu Youde Thunderbolt Fight", "Zhang Ji'er Fulaizhou", "Chen Yutou Dingtai'an", "Gao Yanshi Guards Mount Tai", every paragraph is there. It's just that there are the most jokes about Guo Conglong. Controlling propaganda and guiding public opinion is from the angle of stabilizing the people's minds.

The people loved to hear the legends of the heroes. In order to quickly sweep away the heroes of the war in the shortest possible time, seize the hearts of the people, and re-stabilize the situation, in addition to implementing various relief measures, it is a shortcut to publicize the bravery of the Haidong soldiers in a way that they like to see.

Among them, Guo Conglong was taken as the focus of propaganda, but it was because of another consideration of Deng She.

Haidong has only been benefiting from the capital for a long time, and there is still some estrangement from the people of Yidu in essence. At this time, after a great war, a key figure was selected from among the generals of Haidong and vigorously publicized it, so that the people felt that this was a very powerful person, and that it was very proud and proud to be in the same country as him. As for stabilizing the people's hearts, it will naturally bring the relationship between Haidong and Yidu closer, the best of both worlds. In that case, who should be chosen as the focus among the generals of Haidong?

Wen, Chen, Zhao and others are all in high positions, it is definitely not suitable, using them to tell stories, first, it will lose its majesty, and second, if their prestige is too high, Deng She will not rest assured.

Guo Conglong was a thousand households, and when he captured the king of Goryeo, he was still just a soldier. The official position is not too high, the people are young, and they are from Hebei, which is relatively close to the people of Yidu. As a soldier, the capture of the king of Goryeo did not require too much processing, and it was full of legend in itself. It is most appropriate to promote him.

Sure enough, the effect was extremely good. The whole city cheered, and the thunder shook the sky.

If there is a house in the city, each of them will go back to his house and rest for a while. If you don't have a place to live, you will live in the guest house first, and Zhao Guo will accompany you to talk. In the evening, Deng She came back and put on a feast, but the banquet was not mentioned.

At the banquet, Deng She, with the help of Luo Lilang's mouth, revealed a little bit of the meaning of wanting to reorganize the old army of Yidu, and tested Chen Yutou's intentions. As soon as Liu Qi died, Chen Yutou was the most powerful faction in Shicheng's old department, and he had the merit of sticking to Tai'an, if he was dissatisfied and objected to this, this matter was really difficult to do.

Perhaps it was the role of the flag given by Deng She; Maybe it's the role of Wenhua and the country to welcome and deceive in place; Maybe maybe Chen Rutou has completely understood Haidong's strength through this battle, and has made a sincere decision. Of course, it may be a combination of these factors.

In any case, his performance was very crisp, without any objections, and he said directly: "Liu Jue rebelled and died, and the Jinan army existed in name only." The armies of the southeast coast and the southwest of Yidu were also greatly damaged in this battle.

"Although Chahan retreated, he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and he would definitely come again after a year or a few months. If these battalions were not reorganized, they would not have been able to play a role in the ensuing war. The lord intended to adapt it, and the minister fully agreed. In fact, even if the lord didn't mention it, the ministers had repeatedly considered and considered this on the way to Yidu. He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Deng She, and said, "My lord, please see, the minister has written even the Chen." If you want to adapt, start with the ministers. ”

Deng She took the strip Chen, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and saw a line of words on his head, and the title read: "Chen Yu asked the lord to reorganize the military of the capital." ”

There are three or four clauses below, the first one and the first paragraph, which are written: "The ministers have been fighting in Tai'an, and they have lost five or six out of ten, and they have no combat power without rectification." Moreover, as soon as Liu Jue died, the Yidu army, Cheng was headed by the ministers. For the Lord's plan, to reorganize the Yidu Army, please start with the ministers. ”

Chen Yutou repeatedly surprised Deng She. first sent him to guard Tai'an, and he was ordered to do it; Then they were alone, and although they had no help from outside, they fought to the death and did not surrender; Now in order to prepare for the whole army to fight Chahan again, he took the initiative to start from the overall situation and asked to start the reorganization of his troops first. Deng She couldn't help but be in awe, and sighed and said: "Brave Chen Dashuai, naked Chen Dashuai." I said it twice. Pour the wine with your own hands and toast three glasses in a row.

People who are selfless? Deng She originally thought that even if Chen Yutou would not oppose the adaptation,—— after all, outside Yidu City, there are now tens of thousands of Haidong descendants, but it is expected that he will never agree too neatly. Even if he agreed, he would certainly make some demands. For example, if you want some land, you will get some benefits, and so on.

But he really never thought that not only did he not ask for anything at all, but also took the initiative to consider Deng She, and without waiting for Deng She to elaborate, he submitted the note first, proposing to start with his camp first. Although there was a factor of strong pressure from foreign enemies during this period, it can only be described in four words: the grand duke forgets his selfishness.

To be honest, since the war, Deng She has been ready to attack the old army of Yidu, but he has been slow to move, and the person he is worried about is Chen Yutou. A difficult problem can be easily solved. How could Deng She not be impressed by Chen Yutou again?

Strike while the iron is hot. After the banquet, Deng She held another small meeting.

Tong Shengyang, Chen Yutou, Li Monk, Pan Xianer, Ju Sheng, Deng Chengzhi and others were all summoned to the meeting hall. These people are all the officials of the Yidu Privy Council. It is said that the supreme governor of the Yidu Branch is Xiao Mao Pingzhang, but everyone knows that he is just an ornament. And it's far away in Haidong, don't pay attention to it. After some discussion, the method of reorganizing the armies was decided.

The next morning, the name of Xiao Mao Pingzhang was hung up, and the branch issued an official document.

It was decided to transfer its elite personnel from all the units of the old army in Yidu, disrupt the establishment, and rebuild the first army. The name of the fixed army is: Anqidu Command Division. It is planned that the whole army will have a quota of 8,000 people. If the elite part of the old army of Yidu is insufficient, it can be replenished from the Haidong reinforcements. In the old army of Yidu, all the soldiers who were eliminated were transferred to the establishment of the Tuntian army. Led by the original general, they were sent to various places to assist the local government in preparing for spring ploughing.

The places where the old army of Yidu was stationed were very scattered, and Wen Huaguo, Zhao Guo and others sent their subordinates to lead the army to convey orders, take over the defense area, and supervise the reorganization at the same time, and ordered Chen Yutou and Gao Yanshi to also send their subordinate generals to go together and cooperate with each other.

More than a dozen personnel appointments have been issued one after another, and since Chen Yutou and Gao Yanshi, all the generals of Yidu have been on the list. Some of the Haidong generals are also mentioned.

Chen Yutou: Marshal Tai'an, reappointed as Marshal of Laizhou Wing. Originally the vice president of the branch, he was promoted to one level, served as the same acquaintance of the branch, and was the actual highest official of the Yidu branch with Tong Shengyang. He was willing to take the initiative to accept the adaptation, and Deng She reciprocated the favor, also out of the consideration of "the locals are good at governing the local soldiers", and handed over the newly established Anqi Command Division to him, and he concurrently served as the commander of the capital.

Previously, Bi Qianniu's Dingqi Command Division was also formed by selecting elites from Shicheng's old department. As soon as the Anqidu Command Division was established again, the old army of Yidu ceased to exist.

Hu Zhong: On merit, he was transferred and reappointed as the deputy commander of the Anqi Command Division.

He made a lot of contributions in the Battle of Huashan. Although the rank of the Metropolitan Command Division is the same as that of Wanhu, those who can be called the "Metropolitan Command Division" are all elites of Haidong, and their status is far higher than that of ordinary 10,000 people. Those who can be the head of any department are all Deng She's close confidants. He can be appointed to this position, which means that he has stood out from the miscellaneous side line, and can be regarded as officially entering the ranks of Deng She's lineage.

Deng Chengzhi: The original branch of the hospital, promoted to the first level, succeeded Chen Yutou, and served as the deputy centerpiece. Gao Yanshi: Originally appointed as the deputy commander of the Qi army, he still holds this position. He was promoted to the branch hospital, succeeded Deng Chengzhi, and served as the hospital.

And so much more.

Because the military titles of Hong Jixun and others have not yet been decided, they are only rewarding official positions for the time being. The generals and colonels of the other Yidu armies, who have more military power, are either selected into the newly established Anqi Army, or transferred to the Tuntian Army and serve as military positions. Those who have been eliminated and do not want to join the army again are transferred to the localities, and according to the level of their military ranks, they are rewarded with money and given civilian posts. However, the clerical jobs given are all idle. The meaning is very clear, just use the money to raise them. Having taken their army, you can't afford not to give some compensation.

A series of personnel appointments, if most of them were expected by the ministers of Yidu, two of them were very strange, which everyone did not expect, and they attracted special attention.

One is related to the generals of Yidu. One is related to the generals of Haidong.

Liu Guo, who has meritorious service in guarding benefits, is rewarded for meritorious deeds, and was reappointed as the deputy Wanhu of a certain army in Liaoyang. The order is under the order, and he will leave the city immediately. Wang Guoyi, the former Liaoyang army Wanhu, after many battles with Shenyang, has made meritorious contributions, and was transferred out of meritorious service, and was reappointed as the deputy commander of the Anqi Army. It is also the day of the decree, that is, the departure of the order.

Wang Guoyi, a fierce general under Chen Hu, has always followed Chen Hu to fight since Deng She Yongping raised his troops. It is known as "Tiger Tooth". It can be seen that he is close to Chen Hu. It's a bit strange to suddenly transfer Yidu.

If this matter is just strange, it is understandable, but the appointment given to Liu Guo can be called even more strange. Liu Guo said that he was meritorious, but he was transferred to Liaoyang. He was born in Liaoyang, and he didn't know anyone. was transferred there, and the end can be imagined. Where are the rewards? It's exile!

Under the appointment of more than a dozen provinces, a wave of adaptation was suddenly set off in Shandong. At the same time, in Yidu officialdom, a lot of undercurrents were set off.
