At this time, the Chengzhi army had already taken Jinling City and Zhenjiang City, and Liu Chengzhi convened all the strategists and generals to discuss the next move.

Xiang Wuji said: "According to the strategy of the young master, we are steady and steady from the south to the north, and now the south is worry-free." Do you think about making a big move, taking advantage of the fact that the current army is still prosperous, you can directly attack Yangjiang Province!"

Liu Yuhu said: "At present, we have just captured Jiangnan Province, and our foothold is not stable. I am afraid that the war will resume at the front, the rear will be unstable, and new internal turmoil will arise. ”

Wang Chengwen said: "What Mr. Yuhu said is reasonable!"

Liu Xiwu is the best at material allocation and internal affairs management, and said: "Kunyang City used to be small, and I didn't feel it, but now I feel that it is very difficult to manage a huge southern region!"

Liu Chengzhi said: "Then we will wait for the second crop of rice to be harvested in the summer, and then consider the next move.

Since then, Liu Chengzhi has been busy with internal affairs every day, and he first selected personnel with a higher level of education from the Chengzhi army and assigned them to various localities to serve in defense posts such as the general army. He visited the virtuous, recruited the strategists, and selected the virtuous and capable from among these strategists to hold various important positions.

At the same time, special schools and personnel departments have been set up in various localities to classify and compile a register of qualified personnel in various localities. After a few months, the southern region has become thriving and more peaceful.

On that day, Liu Chengzhi was doing business in the palace, but he heard a report from his subordinates and an old man asking to see him. Liu Chengzhi liked to go to the people to consult on the government, and the government had always been open to the people, so he soon came to the hall to meet guests.

Liu Chengzhi came to the hall to take a look, and saw seven or eight people standing in the hall, all dressed as businessmen, and the one in the center was dressed plainly, but he was magnificent. The right-handed man is even more familiar. After careful identification, Liu Chengzhi was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Lord Wang!"

It turned out that the people who came were Shangguan Yunguan, the three princes of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Hanchen, the Great Sima Wang.

Shangguan Yunquan laughed, looking very happy, and said, "Chengzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss my brother to death!"

Liu Chengzhi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly introduced the group into the hotel and found the most upscale guest room to live in. After they made arrangements, Liu Chengzhi invited everyone to dine at the mansion.

At this time, Shangguan Ruyun already knew that Shangguan Yun's situation was coming, and hurriedly came over to meet, the brother and sister experienced the troubled times, and they were teary-eyed when they saw each other at this time.

Liu Chengzhi also introduced Xiang Wuji, Wang Chengwen, Liu Yuhu and other cadres to the three princes, and Shangguan Yun seemed very easy-going and greeted everyone.

Liu Chengzhi said: "I don't know how His Highness and Lord Wang came to the Southern Regions?"

Shangguan Yun said: "Because of the Karasuma realm, Taiwei and Geshu Wuji are fighting, and we have made a lot of efforts to detour from the small path. ”

Liu Chengzhi sighed: "If it's really chaotic today, I hope that I can return a peaceful country as soon as possible." ”

When Shangguan Yunguan heard this, he was silent, and after a while, he drank wine with everyone.

On the second day, Liu Chengzhi led Shangguan Yunquan and his entourage to the mansion, and the guests and hosts sat down and talked happily.

Liu Chengzhi saw that Shangguan Yunjing only mentioned the purpose of his trip, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know what your plans are for this trip?"

Shangguan Yunquan laughed and said, "I'm here for official business and private business!"

After saying that, he took out the holy decree from his arms and said, "Liu Chengzhi listens to the decree!"

Seeing this, Liu Chengzhi hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Shangguan Yunguan read out: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I heard that the second son of Taiwei Liu Jinnan was gentle and talented, and I was very happy to hear it. The nine daughters of the emperor are skilled and generous, and their appearance is salty, and they are at the age of marriage. Franchise with Liu Chengzhi as his wife. All the etiquette was handed over to the third son of the emperor, Shangguan Yunqing, and the Qintian Supervisor to jointly handle it, and the marriage was completed on a good day. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. Chin!"

When Liu Chengzhi heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Emperor!"

Shangguan Yunquan pulled Liu Chengzhi up and said, "From now on, you and I are real brothers!"

Liu Chengzhi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and said, "Thank you, third brother!"

Shangguan Yunjing said again: "My father knew that the virtuous brother was shoulder-to-shoulder in military affairs and internal affairs, and he was quite tired, so he asked me to come over to help the virtuous brother and make a move." ”

Liu Chengzhi was shocked when he heard this, looked at Shangguan Yun's situation, and then looked at the Great Sima King Hanchen in the distance, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you have long been unable to live in this position in Xiaxi, I just ask Your Highness to come over and preside over the overall situation, Chengzhi will go home to relax, and obey His Highness's arrangement!"

Shangguan Yun was shocked, and said: "How can the virtuous brother be like this, I can't do without the help of the virtuous brother in this mission, and I must not be humble!"

The two pushed for a while, and Liu Chengzhi finally said: "So what, Your Highness will preside over the overall situation of Southern Xinjiang from today onwards, and the ministers will help Your Highness, but it will be arranged by Your Highness!"

Shangguan Yunguo saw that Yun Li said sincerely, so he said: "Brother Xian, which of us listens to whose arrangement, what we say doesn't count, so that's it, I first try to manage internal affairs under the leadership of Gongzi, and I am a layman in the military, so how about Gongzi in charge?"

Liu Chengzhi was overjoyed and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your trust, Chengzhi will do his best to return a complete country to Dajin!"

After another two months, the late rice in Jiangnan had been harvested, and according to the original plan, the Chengzhi army was going to go to Yangjiang Province.

Since the status in the Southern Regions was respected by the third prince Shangguan Yunqing, from the first day, Liu Yunli let Shangguan Yunqing sit on the throne. Since presiding over government affairs, many officials have stood out through him, and the entire Southern Regions has also been well organized.

At this time, the matter was discussed, Shangguan Yunjing sat in the main seat, which was naturally presided over by Shangguan Yunguan, Liu Chengzhi and Da Sima Wang Hanchen stood in the two heads, and the rest of the officials were lined up in turn.

Shangguan Yun said: "According to the previous arrangement of Brother Chengzhi and everyone, to crusade against Geshu Wuji in the near future, I don't know what you think?"

Xiang Wuji said: "Weichen believes that at present, the two seasons of rice in the south of the Yangtze River are ripe, and the soldiers of our army are well-trained, and through the latest recruitment, the strength of our army has reached one million, and the time has come to launch an expedition against Geshu Wuji!"

Da Sima Wang Hanchen came out and said: "What General Xiang said is extremely true, but the drought in Kunyang Province in the past month has consumed a lot of rice and grain, and recently according to the observation of the astronomical officer, the Yangjiang River is flooding again, and I am afraid that the water control will depend on the troops, so..."

At this time, four or five officials came out one after another to support Wang Hanchen. Liu Chengzhi knows that if he says too much, he will lose, so he has no words.

Shangguan Yunquan pondered for a while and said, "Brother Chengzhi, I don't know what your high opinion is?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "What Lord Wang said is indeed reasonable, internal affairs are not my strength, and from the current point of view, the conditions for the expedition are indeed not perfect. However, from the point of view of the military situation, at present, the main force of Goshu Buyoshi has been dragged to the front line of Karasuma Province by my father Liu Taiwei, although 800,000 soldiers have been recruited in the Central Plains in the past six months, but there is no effective general. ”

When Shangguan Yun heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Then I don't know how many soldiers and horses the virtuous brother will go out to fight?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "For the time being, only 900,000 soldiers and horses are needed to set off first, and if the front line is tight, you can ask for support again." ”
