These two documents were sent by Meng Shuren.

The first one, the time agreed between Chu He and Meng Huo had reached the deadline, and Meng Huo saw that Chu He had no movement, so he sent someone to Xingshi to ask about the guilt and ask Chu He when he would marry Meng Qingtong.

The second part is that hundreds of thousands of Yongzhou soldiers crossed the land of the Southern Barbarians and pressed towards the side of Tianshui County, and the Southern Barbarian Army could not spare enough troops to encircle and suppress it, reminding Chu He to prepare early.

Chu He actually knows these two things.

In his heart, he is not very old, only fifteen, so he can drag it out as much as he wants.

It's just that he is fifteen, but Meng Qingtong has been in his prime for ten years, and from Meng Yu's stern tone, if Chu He does not marry Meng Qingtong again, the alliance between the two sides will not be guaranteed.

Chu He also knew that Meng Huo's tone was just harsh, in fact, even if he really didn't marry Meng Qingtong, it would be impossible for the Southern Barbarian Army and the Changding Army to sever their alliance all at once, and it could be said that neither the Changding Army nor the Southern Barbarian Army could do without each other.

The current situation of the Southern Barbarian Army is quite bad, the counterinsurgency army of Shu gradually has the upper hand, and the Yellow Turban Army and Yizhou have fallen on many fronts, and they can free up their hands to support the Eastern Route Army and the Middle Route Army.

The Southern Barbarian Army faced the two armies at the same time, which was already quite reluctant, and after the other party got help, it was even more frustrated everywhere, if it weren't for the fact that the Standing Army continued to provide him with weapons and armor behind his back, and even provided rice and food supplies to the Southern Barbarian Army in turn, the Southern Barbarian Army was afraid that it would not be able to support it.

The Yongzhou army was able to wreak havoc in the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians, and it was not wiped out by the Southern Barbarian Army for most of the year, and it became stronger and stronger the more it fought, which shows the current embarrassment of the Southern Barbarian Army.

Under such circumstances, it was too late for Meng Shu to strengthen his ties with the Changding Army, and how could he sever his alliance with the Changding Army.

Regarding the affairs of the Yongzhou Army, Chu He is also quite clear.

Although the Yongzhou army had been wreaking havoc in the territory occupied by Meng, Chu He, of course, had sent spies to leave Tianshui County and collect intelligence in various places.

If an army of more than 100,000 horses was wreaking havoc near Tianshui County, Chu He would really be able to crash to death on the new city wall of the Changding Army.

After receiving the documents, Chu He immediately summoned the chief officials and generals of Tianshui County.

The mansion of the Chu family, in the end, is the private residence of Chu He, and the power of the Changding army has not formed a scale in the past, and the generals summoned by Chu He are all in the mansion.

Now that the Changding Army has taken control of Tianshui County, there are 50,000 soldiers under its command, dozens of generals, and there are dozens of county officials, plus the matter of Chu He's marriage, it is not only about the future strategy of the Changding Army, but also closely related to the people of the Chu family and the Xiang family.

The construction of the city wall in Changding Township is a huge project, and it takes a lot of time.

However, Tianshui County now has a large number of soldiers, and has bought millions of prisoners of war and Minzhuang from the Southern Barbarian Army, and tens of thousands of the 200,000 Yellow Turban troops who invaded Fenglai County have become laborers.

For example, there are a lot of laborers in Shuijun today, more than one million young and strong, and there are alchemists and soldiers with amazing strength to help, using boulders and cement as raw materials, and a city wall that completely protects Changding Township has been completed for more than a year.

With the expansion of the territory of the Changding Army, the Changding City that was finally established is no longer only occupying half of the Changding Army as originally planned, but encompassing the entire Changding Township and a small half of Wuqing Township.

The city is eight zhang high and ten zhang wide, although it cannot be compared with such big cities as Qinzhou City and Yongchang City, but it is not much better than a county city that governs the city.

Moreover, blockhouses have been set up in many dangerous places in the city, and the city wall is also set up in the style of a fortress, and some places are reinforced with steel bars, and there are eight bull crossbows everywhere to protect it, even if it is from the critical eye of Chu He, they have to look at Chu Shuang, Peng Hua, etc., who are responsible for building the city wall.

Because Changding Township is located in a mountainous and hilly area, all kinds of large-scale siege equipment cannot be transported in, even if a large army is coming, to capture this newly built city wall, I am afraid that the difficulty will not be much worse than attacking Qinzhou City and Yongchang City.

The place where Chu He received everyone was naturally the newly built City Lord's Mansion.

This city lord's mansion covers an area of more than 30,000 square meters, four stories high, and the castle structure, if it were not for the cement developed by Chu He, it would not be possible to build a four-storey, majestic city lord's mansion.

On the side of Changding Township, most officials and generals have private offices in this city lord's mansion to handle various official affairs here.

After those generals finished their training and returned from the barracks, they often took a dip in the city lord's office to increase the friendship between their colleagues, or to learn martial arts in the back garden training ground, and discuss each other's training experience, etc., Chu He also summoned them.

As the eagle falcon and messenger flew out of Changding Township, the generals and chief officials outside also left their official duties one after another and quickly gathered to the base camp of Changding Township.

The City Lord's Mansion is in the style of a castle, but the layout inside is still the orthodox Three Kingdoms residence plan, but many of them are overstepping.

Especially the main hall, very Jinluan Palace, Chu He sat in the north of the hall at this time, the generals under his command, the civil officials, are on the left and right sides, but the fourth and fifth officials, each has a table, the others can only stand with their hands down.

After forming an alliance with the Southern Barbarian Army, Chu He, under the advice of Long Ji and others, completely threw away the last fig leaf and officially established the rank of the Standing Army.

In order to recruit talents, Chu He has even played the banner of Xiang Yu's heir, and he has to change Tianshui County to the Great Chu State.

Chu River is the king, and its three war gods are worshipped, and the next is the chief general of the five-grade officials, all of whom have made great contributions to the development of Tianshui County, and now there are only four people in the five-grade chief officials and generals, namely Jiang Wei, Chu Qianzhong, Chu Wu, and Chu Wen.

There are not many four-grade officials and generals, the chief generals of the four guards, and there are only seven or eight people such as Chu Quan, Qin Shengnan, Xiang Xiong, and Zhuang Zhongneng.

The chief officials of the states, as well as the general of Qianyuanwei, and the deputy generals of the other four guards, such as the newly joined Dong Ju and Peng Hua, are all three-grade positions.

In the main hall, there are not many people, and those who are qualified to come here are all people with official qualities, more than 100 people, who look a little bloated, and their backgrounds are also varied.

There are the mountain people of Changding Township, the children of the scholar clan who came to vote, the students and scholars of Qinzhou City, the Shu generals who surrendered to Chengcheng, and the remnants of the Ding Demon Army.

However, Tianshui County has a radius of 2,000 miles, a million square kilometers, and 3 million people, and there are only 100 officials and generals, which can be regarded as extremely streamlined, in fact, it is not much more than ten times, and many unfinished scribes and servants in the eight counties have much greater authority than before.

Originally, Peng Hua and the remnants of the Ding Demon Army did not plan to join the Changding Army.

But with the improvement of the power of the Changding Army, and the authority of Chu Qianzhong's position getting higher and higher, more and more Dingdemon troops came to hear the news, and Peng Hua and the others finally decided to truly form a union with the Changding Army.

Those scholars who helped Chu He build the city wall and renovate Changding Township, such as Yuwenqing and Si Yan, all had their own rewards and received second-grade official positions.

Among the many Tianshui County officials and generals present, Zhuang Zhongneng, the old carpenter, is definitely the most legendary, from an unknown old carpenter, he suddenly became a high-ranking official of Tianshui County, which can be regarded as a step to the sky.

However, although Zhuang Zhongneng did not personally participate in various battles, he personally brought many disciples and apprentices, and recruited more than 2,000 carpenters and apprentices from the homeless, surrendered troops, and purchased prisoners of war.

The carpentry factory was also turned into the Second Arsenal, and its status was only below the steelworks of the First Arsenal.

Today's Second Arsenal has built thousands of eight-ox armor-piercing crossbows for the Changding army, as well as various catapults, bed crossbows, siege vehicles, etc., and the credit is great.

The Second Arsenal even searched for shipwrights and shipbuilding drawings under the guidance of Chu He, and studied the construction of sea ships.

After all, Tianshui County faces the sea, and along the Xiaoqing River is the mouth of the sea, and the construction of sea ships can become one of the retreats of the Changding army, even if it is useless.

Chu He simply gave him the high position of deputy minister of the ordnance department of the fourth grade, so as to motivate the craftsmen and improve their work initiative.

Of course, the more complex the composition of officials, the easier it is to be controlled by Chu He, at least among the various departments, because of the competitive relationship, they are working at full speed and trying to make contributions to improve their status.

Especially the Jiangwucun family, because they joined relatively late, they were not the core people of the Chu River, and they also missed the battle of the Yellow Turban Army, and only made some contributions in the battle of the Abyss World.

Although Chu He set up a guard for Jiangwu Village out of heavy considerations, and Xiang Xiong, the main general, was a fourth-grade official, but the other officials and generals must be a little dissatisfied in their hearts, so that now Jiangwu and his family are not speaking very loudly, so they can only hold their breath and train their troops, just waiting for the next battle to make miraculous achievements and wash away their grievances.

Chu He implemented loyalty education for the army, which could ensure that the gun was in his hands, but the construction of Tianshui County and the management of the people could not be done by the army alone, so it was necessary to balance the means of the subordinate generals and officials.

Chu Zhenhai did not appear in the main hall.

Although Chu He got married, it stands to reason that Chu Zhenhai, the head of the family, has the final say.

But Chu Zhenhai has now completely handed over the Chu family to the Chu River, and is usually responsible for some trivial matters, such as inspecting rice and grain planting, water conservancy projects, and mediating conflicts and disputes between villagers and villages.

Chu He had already told Chu Zhenhai about getting married, so there was no need for him, the grandfather, to come here to get involved.

The freshman team of Tianshui County is not the business of the Chu River family.

Now Chu Wen, Chu Wu, Chu Quan, and Chu Shuang all occupy high positions, and they are also responsible for important affairs, Chu Wu controls Aokiwei, Chu Wen is the county guard of Tianshui, and is in charge of clerical affairs, and Chu Quan holds the power of money and grain, that is, Chu Shuang is in charge of many matters of mineral deposits.

is Jiang Wei, the commander of the Rock Battalion, who is the righteous brother of Chu He.

If even Chu Zhenhai, who is old, has no martial arts skills and does not have much ability, occupies a place, it will inevitably give people the impression that Tianshui County is the private territory of the Chu family, and it will hit their enterprising momentum.

Of course, in the case of the wealthy families of the Three Kingdoms, it is normal for the clansmen to occupy an important position in such a move, and outsiders must have to work hard many times if they want to occupy a high position.

Chu He waved his hand and asked Jing Fang to read out two documents in front of everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the document from Meng Shu, I don't know what you think?"

Jing Yu is Jing Xiong's son, who has been a township leader for a year, Chu He saw that Jing Fang's ability was not weak, and Wen Dao cultivation was also possible, so he simply stayed by his side and listened to it.

Jing Fang was a little embarrassed by Uncle Chu, who was not as old as himself at Chu He's age.

But the city of Qinzhou was broken, he and his sister, mother, and Jing Xiong and others went to fight thousands of miles, and when they arrived in Tianshui County, they knew the strength of Tianshui County and the power of Chu River, and they were completely convinced of Chu River, and they gladly accepted this job.

On top of such a formal meeting, Chu Wen and Chu He have no distinction between uncle and nephew, and he is now thinking more about the interests of the entire Tianshui County.

Hearing Chu He's inquiry, Chu Wen took the lead in standing up and said in a deep voice: "Chu Shuai, Xia Guan feels that since he has already made an agreement with the Southern Barbarian Army, it is imperative to marry Meng Qingtong. ”

Although Chu Wen had studied literature and Taoism before, he did not understand the true words of the text, although with the great help of Chu He, he is now a second-grade Confucian student, in fact, a second-grade Confucian student cannot take on the position of the county guard of Tianshui.

However, Chu Wen is Chu He's uncle in the end, and he is also the first to support Chu He, plus he was born as a scribe and has a smooth wrist, and under Chu He's advice, he managed the people's livelihood in Tianshui County in a neat and orderly manner, and his prestige among the officials and generals is also quite high.

As soon as he said this, everyone said one after another, all of them thought that Chu He should marry Meng Qingtong and strengthen the connection with the Southern Barbarian Army.

In addition, they naturally have their own careful thoughts.

Now everyone's net worth and life are dependent on Chu He, and if Chu He does not get married and leave heirs for a day, they will not be at ease for a day.

Once something happens to the Chu River, and there is no heir to inherit the throne, the Changding army will definitely be torn apart, and they will have no future in the future, and they will even be severely suppressed by the Shu State, and their lives will not be guaranteed.

As long as Chu He leaves an heir, no matter what the qualifications of the heir are, with the support of generals such as Long Ji, Jiang Wei, and Chu Wu, he will definitely be able to inherit Chu He's position and maintain Tianshui County, a nascent political and organization.

This issue is actually more of a formality, and what really makes everyone concerned is the fact that the Yongzhou Army is approaching Tianshui County.

"Fang Zihao, you come to tell everyone about the situation of the Yongzhou Army!"

Fang Zihao was originally a captain of Qianyuanwei, a second-grade cultivator, who killed more than 20 enemies in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army in Fenglai County, and after the expansion of the Changding Army, Fang Zihao became the uncle.

Fang Zihao's qualifications are quite good, during the first battle of the Abyss World, he had already trained into a triple golden bell jar, performed well when exploring the Abyss World, and his position was further promoted, serving as the Dubo of the Abyss Guard, and there were five hundred Abyss Guards under his command.

For most of the next half a year, I have to say that this recipe is extremely lucky, and after taking a lot of quenching pills refined by Yinlong Dendrobium, he has practiced a quadruple iron and stone body.

Chu He simply transferred him from Qianyuanwei to the position of captain, and became a second-rank general in the Changding military system, with a reconnaissance team of 2,000 people, equipped with thirty scorpion-tailed winged tigers and thirty elites transferred from Qianyuanwei, responsible for monitoring the situation near Tianshui County.

In fact, the situation of the Yongzhou Army has always been in the sight of the reconnaissance team.
