"Commander Deng, so early?"

Thirty miles outside Chengdu has reached the territory of Ziyang County, since Meng Zhao was assassinated has passed five years, the city of Chengdu has continued to expand during these five years, the original inner and outer cities have now become three inner cities: the palace city, the political city, the inner acropolis; The outer three cities: Qingyang City, Bai Ze City, Garrison City; A total of six cities, you can imagine how big it is, and now it is basically out of Chengdu City to the field.

Deng Ang has been promoted to Bai Zewei's commander, and today is the day when Chen Zhiqing was ordered to return from Langzhong, and Deng Ang was ordered to greet him here.

"General An Da has been waiting in the Inner Acropolis for a long time, how dare I not be early? Besides, when Qingshuai comes back, even the prince will greet him outside the palace. Deng Ang said solemnly.

mentioned that General An's talking guard shrank his head, An Cang took office as the general of the internal guard two years ago, in charge of Chengdu's defense, and there is only one way to deal with the subordinates who talk a lot, send it to the martial arts academy for transformation, where is the martial arts academy? The nightmare of the Xifu sergeant, whoever goes has to shed his skin.

"Don't be idle, the army that conquered the Zhuge clan and the Qiang people in western Sichuan will also return today, and neither side can be lazy." Deng Ang was slightly nervous.

Deng Ang recalled the changes in Xifu in the past five years, in the new generation of grassroots sergeants, Qingshuai is the most mysterious existence among the senior generals of Xifu, his deeds are already legends, is the most mysterious existence among the five marshals of Xifu, and is one of the three major military flags of Xifu The white-clothed army, in fact, it is no wonder that Chen Zhiqing, he has been stationed in Langzhong all the year round, although there has been no big war with Luochen over the years, but there is constant friction, Beichuan's army is already the most powerful in Xifu, and Qingshuai as the highest commander rarely appears in front of people.

Among the five marshals, everyone is most familiar with Ye Bohuai, who is in charge of the capital governor, he is easy-going, often carries a wine pot to teach in the martial arts academy, not only the sergeant is familiar with him, the people of Chengdu are even more familiar, his figure has appeared in almost all large and small taverns in Chengdu, do not pay after drinking, the debtor of the IOU is written in the inner house, at the beginning everyone was dumb and lost, and then there was the courage to detain the palace gate, not to mention that the people in the inner house were unhappy, but they did not owe a sum of wine money.

Then there is Jin Qian, Jin Shuai, he is busy, very busy, training troops everywhere, inspecting defense affairs in various places, and he can't appear in Chengdu a few times a year, but he is very familiar with him locally.

Yu Geng, known as the tiger handsome, his boldness and generosity, is the commander that every soldier in the West Mansion wants to follow, drink a lot of wine, weigh the gold, in the past few years in the western Sichuan grassland to conquer the Zhuge clan and the Qiang people, in the eighth year of Beiding, because of the killing of Zhuge Xingyu, King Yong personally gave the flag Tiger Army, because the tiger head is the military flag, for some reason is called the tiger handsome.

Quartz, known as Yingshuai, he is stationed in Jiangxia all the year round, surrounded by various provinces, but he is at ease, in the seventh year of Beiding, Luochen City sent the general Cao Li of Longxiangwei and Xiangyang Thorn Shi Tushan Jinyuan with a total of 100,000 troops to attack Xifu, Quartz led 40,000 troops to set up an ambush in Jingshan, broke Cao Li, and by the way, one of the legs of Tushan Jinyuan was abolished, so that Luo Chen's southern expedition became the defense of Xiangyang, the battle loss was less than 100 people, and then he was given the Condor Army by King Yong, just his name has a "Ying" word, so he is called Yingshuai.

The five marshals are the leaders and souls of the military, then the four halls are the leading and pillars of government affairs, and the first hall of the four halls is Gu Yanfeng, in order to avoid causing trouble in the name of everyone, the middle hall of the selection of scholars was renamed the two houses in the sixth year of Beiding, because it is in charge of the training and promotion of military and political personnel in Xifu, Gu Yanfeng is therefore called the first middle hall of Xifu.

The remaining three central halls are the Supervision Yuan established with the Yushitai as the team, and Deng Gang, the former secretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Commerce, was reappointed as the middle hall official of the Supervision Yuan, responsible for supervising the civil and military officials; In the seventh year of Beiding, with the help of Shang Shutai, the Hakka was established, and the main department was in charge of the correspondence with various provinces and countries, and Xue Zhen, the former secretary of the administrative department, served as the middle hall official of the Hakka Academy.

The last hall was originally a temporary institution, in the sixth year of Beiding, the Ming Jian Division, the Shen Criminal Division, the Imperial History Observatory and the Baiyi Temple had a huge contradiction because of the problem of supervision and investigation and intelligence exchange, in order to deal with this matter, Meng Yan suggested that a temporary establishment of an agency to deal with the contradiction was set up under the supervision of the People's Intelligence Yuan, and then everyone was accustomed to finding this institution when there was a contradiction, Shangshu Ling Zhuo Bailing and Dadu Governor Ye Bohuai suggested that this institution should be simply permanent, called the Internal Affairs Yuan, and the Zhongtang official surprisingly fell on the head of Meng Yan, At first, everyone didn't think much of him, but later the things he handled were satisfactorily resolved, and everyone recognized him as a central official.

At the end of the sixth year of Beiding, because of the chaos of government affairs and unclear military affairs, this problem was solved at one time under the auspices of King Yong, and the six major Zhongshu governors and Chengdu orders were set up in the locality, which were at the same level as the secretaries and scholars, and were in charge of local civil affairs. The governor of Dongchuan, stationed in Ba County, has jurisdiction over the six states of Dongchuan; The governor of the two lakes, stationed in Jiangxia, has jurisdiction over eight prefectures in Jingxiang; The governor of Nanchuan, stationed in Yuewang, has jurisdiction over six states in Nanchuan; The governor of Yeling, stationed in Yeling City, has jurisdiction over eight states in Guizhou; The governor of Zhaonan, stationed in Jianning, has jurisdiction over seven states in Zhaonan; Chengdu Order, which governs five states around Chengdu, a total of 47 states.

Then according to the administrative division, the military government was placed in each state, and the seven governors corresponded to the seven generals' mansions, Gu Xifeng, the general of Beichuan, Meng Huan, the general of Dongchuan, Tong Yan, the general of Lianghu, the general of Nanchuan, An Kui, the general of Yeling, Chaoqun, the general of Zhaonan, Jing Yi, and the general of internal security.

The Seven Generals' Mansions are divided into the Three Marshals' Mansions except the Neiwei Mansion, and the White-clothed Marshal's Mansion is stationed in Langzhong, which governs the two generals' mansions of Beichuan and Dongchuan, and is controlled by Chen Zhiqing with a total of 400,000 troops; The Condor Marshal's Mansion is stationed in Jiangxia, and only governs the Lianghu General's Mansion, with a total of 300,000 troops controlled by Quartz; The Tiger Marshal's Mansion is stationed in Pingqiang, under the jurisdiction of Nanchuan, Yeling and Zhaonan General's Mansion, a total of 300,000 troops are under the jurisdiction of Yu Geng, and the Internal Guard Mansion is stationed around Chengdu, and the Internal Guard Mansion has a total of 400,000 horses, divided into nine guards, Bai Zewei, Neiwei, Chengdu Wei, Miyagi Wei, Hu Ben Left Guard, Tiger Ben Right Guard, Zuo Yiwei, Right Yi Guard, Yu Lin Wei, the Inner Guard Mansion actually only governs the internal guard and Yu Lin Wei 80,000 people, and the rest of the guards only obey the orders of the palace.

The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves pulled Deng Ang back to reality, and he hurriedly looked over, Chen Zhiqing was back.

Deng Ang hurriedly turned over and dismounted and said respectfully: "Bai Zewei commanded Deng Ang to welcome Qing Shuai here on the order of King Yong!" ”

Chen Zhiqing dismounted with a smile and said: "Deng Ang, good boy, I haven't been able to command Bai Zewei in a few years." ”

Deng Ang scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Qingshuai laughed, I want to fight on the battlefield with you." ”

"The battlefield has the difficulties of the battlefield, the guards have the responsibility of guarding, the division of labor is different, how is the prince? Is your father well? ”

"The prince is fine, I know that when you come back today, the prince is waiting outside the palace early in the morning, my father is fine," suddenly said mysteriously: "Since I arrived at the inspection institute, I have had fewer quarrels with people." ”

"Hahaha! Boy, dare to make fun of you, be careful of family law! ”

Deng Ang looked indifferent and said: "I'm not afraid of him, I moved to Miyagi last year, and he can't control me." ”

"Okay, don't be obedient, hurry into the city, don't make everyone wait." After speaking, Chen Zhiqing got on the horse and raised the whip.

When the group was about to arrive at the Acropolis, they saw An Cang hurriedly greet him, and his respectful performance was no less than Deng Ang, "Qing Shuai, Hu Shuai has just entered the city from the West Gate, and he is waiting for you." ”

"Huh! This tiger is very fast! Chen Zhiqing laughed and said that the territory is bigger, and the old brothers will have fewer opportunities to meet, and they still miss it if they haven't seen each other for a long time.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Meng Yan waiting with everyone, and when he saw Chen Zhiqing and his party coming, Meng Yan drove forward and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I miss you to death!" ”

It's only been less than two or three years, Meng Yan has begun to grow a beard, and he looks more mature and stable, Chen Zhiqing understands that he has finally come out of the blows of losing his relatives one after another.

"You are in good shape, rest assured, Ye Bohuai has tossed you a lot in the past few years, right?" Seeing the drunken Ye Bohuai, he said teasingly.

"Except for the money he gave me money on credit everywhere and asked me to pay it off for me, the rest was fine." For Ye Bohuai's debauchery, Meng Yan has given up, as long as he is not confused in his business, the rest will be up to him.

"What about Wanshu and Chu Heng?" Chen Zhiqing glanced at everyone.

"The two of them are studying, Wanshu will be able to see you later, Chu Heng is now living in the Martial Academy."

"You are ruthless enough, and the prince of the dignified palace is willing to stay in the martial arts courtyard," then turned to Deng Ang and said, "You go and take Chu Heng back, just say that he Uncle Chen is back and wants to see him." ”

Meng Yan pulled Chen Zhiqing's reins and said, "Let's go, the reception banquet for you and the tiger is almost cold, this is all my own money, don't waste it." ”

After a lively time, as expected, Yu Geng's drunken drunkenness was carried back to rest by the guards, but Yu Geng unceremoniously put Jin Qian down before he fell, and Chen Zhiqing also drank a jar rarely, Ye Bohuai needless to say, where would he give up a good opportunity to drink to his heart's content, and many people had already fallen before the middle of the reception banquet.

It was almost noon the next day that Chen Zhiqing got up and hurriedly washed up to see Meng Yan.

"How can Senior Brother take a good rest and come over again, it's not a matter of worry." Meng Yan looked at Chen Zhiqing, who was haggard, and smiled.

"No! I can't stay for two days when I come back this time, Quartz can't manage the two marshals alone, but Luo Chen has been eyeing it. Chen Zhiqing rubbed his head and said.

"Quan Zheng is really interesting, doesn't the battle in Jingshan hurt?" Meng Yan's expression became serious.

"Quan Zheng has been crazy in the past few years and has been constantly provoking us, small frictions, and big battles have not stopped."

"He is in a hurry, the north has a large population, but there is not enough property, our south has developed well in recent years, and there is enough money and food, how can he not be blushing, but he can't bear the endless harassment."

"Yu Laohu hurt Zhuge Xingchen and the Qiang people this time, and the situation in western Sichuan has been alleviated, I came back this time to find someone to ask for, and second, to talk about Luochen's affairs."

"Who are you looking for me, you and Quartz have an army of 700,000, and there is still a shortage of people?" Meng Yan said with a grin.

"You don't come, the Martial Arts Academy will give me half of this batch this year, and there is too much shortage of grassroots officers." Chen Zhiqing unceremoniously opened his mouth.

"Senior brother, this is your fault, you are looking for fault, you want someone to find Gu Yanfeng, he is in charge of the two courtyards, so he can't be sent away!" Meng Yan said with a wicked smile.

"Gu Yanfeng, that dead Pixiu, it's more difficult to find him than to ascend to the sky, I don't care, you are the prince, you must give someone to me, otherwise believe it or not, I will lose the battle and show you!" Chen Zhiqing threatened.

Jokes aside, it seems that the situation in Beichuan is more tense than imagined, "What I said really doesn't count, this matter still has to be coordinated with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the two courts, but the defeat can't be fought, our Xifu has endured for five years, and if we don't exert power, we will be bullied, and the midsummer season is when Xiangyang City is broken!" ”
