Chapter Forty-Six: A New Official Takes Office!

Wearing a dark blue battle robe, wrapped in cold iron armor, with the iconic embroidered spring knife around his waist, and a bow and arrow cluster hanging behind him, the army of brocade guards swept like a torrent of steel in the roar of horses' hooves.

As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, and there are crowds.

Although the number of Jinyi guards under Lu Fan's command was only more than 4,000 people, they were all cavalry after all, and they were marching forward in formation, and the strong sense of impact far exceeded that of the 10,000-strong infantry formation.

At a glance, the ground was full of cavalry formations, and it was impossible to tell how many men and horses had come.

"Doesn't it mean that the Jinyi Guard has already existed in name only, and Lu Fan was awarded a general position because he lost power, and was kicked out of the capital to be assigned to the side plug? But this, how can there be so many Jinyi Wei Ti Cavalry following him?" In front of the city gate, a military attache muttered to himself, his expression full of disbelief.

"No wonder you can kill the princes of the court in the capital, with such soldiers and horses in hand, unless the Jingying army enters the town to suppress it, who would dare to resist this Lu Fan?"

"Such an elite, the three thousand families under the command of our chief soldier are probably not so strong, this Lu Fan, it's not easy to mess with!"

Looking at the Jinyi Guard's cavalry army riding horses in the distance, the military attachés suddenly felt pressured.

Especially after seeing the tall young man in the leader, wearing a flying fish suit, the feeling of oppression simply came to his face.

I thought that a sick tiger who fell into Pingyang came, but who would have thought that it was a dragon that had the ability to stir up the pattern of the entire Datong Town!

"Sigh Rule~·"

The sound of the horse came, Lu Fan did not lead the army directly into the city, but raised his hand to signal the military horse to rest outside the city, and then took Shen Lian, Yin Cheng, Wang Dingan and others, rode war horses, and slowly came to the gate of the city.

"Inferior people, meet the general!"

Originally, I wanted to give Ma Wei's careful thoughts to the new staff members in the future, and the military attaches saluted one after another when they saw Lu Fan and the others leaning in front and back, and their postures were more respectful than the other.

Thousands of elite cavalry comparable to the families under the command of the general army are definitely an overwhelming force for them, the garrison officers and integrity officers.

Grudges with each other for no reason, that's what only fools do.

Lu Fan did not dismount, but sat on the horse's back, and his eyes wandered through the crowd for a moment.

Obviously, all the people who gathered to welcome him into the city this time were military attachés, and as for the civil officials in the city, they didn't see any of them.

In this regard, Lu Fan was not surprised.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, since the Tumubao Change, the civil official group has stabilized the military attachés, and the status of civil officials is far above that of military attachés.

Even if the rank of this general is far above the prefect of Yanghe!

This belongs to the arrogance of civil officials, and it is even more arrogant, for fear that if they go out of the city to greet them, they will lose face and be criticized by the civil official group!

.........

The General's Mansion of Yanghe City is not far from the South Gate, and on this street, there is also the Yanghe Command Envoy. In the area of the West Gate, there are patrol courts and garrison offices.

As for the martial arts hall, the important places of Yang and Cang are located outside the east gate.

At this time, in the wide hall of the General's Palace, there were some high-quality officials in high-grade official uniforms, all of whom were in red official robes, with a gold waist plate pinned to the waist of the tiger and the dragon, and the sleeve robe was also covered with tiger and leopard embroidery.

Everyone in the hall has wide robes and big sleeves, most of them are military attaches from the third rank and the fourth grade, and there is a garrison officer, wearing a three-grade official uniform, in terms of rank, and Lu Fan, a general.

This is a burly man with a beard, Lu Fan took a few more glances at this person.

According to the information collected by Yin Cheng and others on the road, this person's name is Li An, the garrison of Yanghe City, who has made many military exploits, and is a three-rank garrison of the official to the Zhengzheng, if it were not for Lu Fan, the airborne general, the position of the general of Yanghe Daodong Road, would have fallen on the head of this person.

Lu Fan had just taken office, and the military attachés couldn't figure out his mind or know his preferences, so in the lobby, everyone said some festive words, and the words were mostly flattering and flattering.

Lu Fan smiled and greeted everyone, and encouraged a few words from time to time, until the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and he asked about the specific situation of Donglu.

When he opened his mouth to ask, Li An, who had not spoken much, got up immediately and replied: "My lord, I Yanghe Daodong Road, under the jurisdiction of nine cities and forts, 96 miles and 3 points on the side of the pipe, 129 side piers, 42 fire road piers, 6,507 officers and soldiers, 1,701 horses and mules.......

Looking at Ang Lee, who was talking, Lu Fan knew it in his heart.

This Yanghe garrison, it is estimated that in order to take over the position of the general of the East Road, he has already done his homework, and he never thought that he would parachute in and rob him of the position of general, but I don't know if there is any resentment in this person's heart?

After all, today is the first day of taking office, Lu Fan didn't talk too much about official affairs, and after politely declining the invitation of a group of military attaches to take over the dust for him, the entire general's mansion finally quieted down.

In the lobby, there were only a few cronies such as Lu Fan and Shen Lian, and as everyone left, Shen Lian got up and said: "My lord, according to your order, Yin Cheng has already led people to go to various places on the East Road in disguise, and it is estimated that it will take about ten days to come back!"

"Well, he does things, I don't worry!"

Lu Fan nodded, Yin Cheng, this kid, although he is good at drinking, he has a clever mind, and he is also skilled, in the past six months, he has killed Ling Yunkai, taken Wei Zhongxian, and is in charge of the edict in the capital, and he has become more and more stable in his work.

Because of this, Lu Fan likes to arrange some private activities for Yin Cheng, and this guy is also competitive and has never missed a beating.

"How's the army arranged?"

"Your Excellency, rest assured, Yang Wanli and Zhao Shanhe have already chosen a suitable location outside the city to set up camp, and we have brought enough money, food and materials with us this time, and the military spirit is stable, and there will be no problems!"

Lu Fan smiled, and then said: "It is said that the new official has three fires when he takes office, you say, where should the fire of this official be lit first?"

Shen Lian and the others glanced at each other, and they were a little eager to try: "My lord, today I watched Nayang and garrison Li An, and he has a high prestige among the military attachés, why don't you start with him first?"

Lu Fan shook his head and said, "I fought with my colleagues for no reason, and when this matter spreads, it is not easy for the chief soldier to explain it." Although we don't need to explain anything to him, it's better to be safe first when we are new and unfamiliar with life. ”

"After all, this is the boundary of Datong Town, and it is also the nest of Jin merchants, and the officials and businessmen have already formed a huge relationship network, if we want to burn the fire, we have to wait until Yin Cheng comes back and understands the information thoroughly!"
