When Li Su heard this, a pair of big eyes widened: "What? Are you leaving? What are you going to do? ”

Chen Yan knew that he was not responsible for this move, but after all, the matter of the jade seal was very important, and Chen Yan could not shirk it, he immediately sighed and said: "There is something in the south that needs me to solve it urgently, and I have to leave, and I hope my brother will understand." ”

Li Su and Huang Zhong both frowned when they heard this, after all, Chen Yan has always been in charge of matters in the army, and now that Chen Yan is leaving, no one can adapt to it.

Li Su said: "If it is really important, my brother can naturally leave, but I will govern Dingyuan City on your behalf, and I can't do anything about it." ”

Chen Yan hurriedly asked, "Brother, don't you want to help me with this?" ”

Li Su sighed: "Why don't I want to help you, it's just that my ability is limited, if I go into battle to kill the enemy, it's no problem to get into battle first, but if I deal with government affairs, I'm afraid I'm really a little blind!" ”

How could Chen Yan not know that Li Su was a casual person, and he would definitely not be an excellent candidate to govern Dingyuan City. It's just that among these people, Li Su is the person he has known the longest and trusts the most, and after Li Su, Chen Yan may not be at ease with others.

Huang Zhong interjected: "In that case, why don't you invite everyone to the Chinese army's big tent for a while, and then we will select candidates?" ”

Chen Yan nodded and said yes, even if he found the guards to send an order, let the future discuss the matter.

The matter was urgent, Chen Yan had no choice but to discuss it urgently, and the people in the city were also quite face-saving, and it didn't take long to arrive.

Chen Yan sat in the middle of the big tent, it was really very magnificent, and the left and right sides were lined up in a row, in an orderly manner.

On the left hand side, it is: Yang Feng, Xu Huang, and the generals of the Bai Bo Army; On the right are: Xu Rong, Li Su, Huang Zhong, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, Song Zhong and others. Everyone on both sides had a serious face, which showed that Chen Yan was very prestigious at this time.

Chen Yan said first: "I'm afraid I'm going to leave Dingyuan City in the last few days and go to the south to do some things, so the affairs of the city must be entrusted to others to act as agents. ”

As soon as Chen Yan's words fell, there was a chatter and discussion in the tent, presumably the news of Chen Yan's sudden departure was really a bit sudden for everyone.

If you talk about the commander, here Xu Rong is in the middle of the general, which can be regarded as very experienced; And Zhang Xiu also led Zhang Ji's army, which can be said to be a good hand; There is also Yang Feng, who has governed the Baibo Army in an orderly manner for many years, and is naturally the best choice; As for Jia Xu, he is even more strategic, full of ghost ideas.

Who to choose, Chen Yan really had a headache.

Suddenly, a person stepped forward and said: "The last general thinks that the position of acting commander is none other than General Xu Rong." ”

Everyone looked and saw Zhang Xiu standing up, looking at Chen Yan, waiting for Chen Yan to speak.

Chen Yan couldn't touch Zhang Xiu's face, so naturally he couldn't refuse, so he asked Xu Rong: "General Xu Rong, are you willing to do it for you?" ”

Xu Rong groaned: "I ......"

Before Xu Rong finished speaking, a general from the Baibo army over there said, "I think that Yang Feng is more suitable." ”

Chen Yan knew that the general who spoke was Guo Fang in the Baibo Army, and this person was the son of Guo Tai, the former commander of the Baibo Army, and his status in the Baibo Army could naturally be imagined. Now the Baibo Army is the main force in Chen Yan's army, and Chen Yan is naturally not very easy to ignore the generals of the Baibo Army.

But Yang Feng was a sensible person, and immediately stood up and replied: "General Xu Rong is good at using soldiers, I am just a reckless man, and I dare not compete with General Xu Rong." ”

Xu Rong naturally didn't expect that Yang Feng, the commander of the dignified Yellow Turban Army, was such a reasonable person, so he immediately reciprocated, and hurriedly humbly said: "Since General Yang Feng can govern the Baibo Army so prosperously, then it is naturally not a problem to govern Dingyuan City." ”

The two sides didn't expect Xu Rong and Yang Feng to humble each other, and they were in a commotion, and they were at a stalemate for a while.

While everyone was arguing, Jia Xu suddenly spoke: "Since this is the case, why not let Xu Rong and Yang Feng govern together." ”

After hearing this, everyone fell silent for a while, and Chen Yan also raised his eyebrows, and asked curiously: "How to govern together?" ”

Jia Xu said: "General Xu Rong is strict in governing the army, so he can command the soldiers and horses; General Yang Feng led his brothers to discover water sources and build cities. Isn't it beautiful that the two of them perform their own duties? ”

After hearing this, Chen Yan suddenly realized in his heart: "At this time, seventy percent of the soldiers in the city are the Baibo Army, although he is the nominal commander, but after all, the military power is still in Yang Feng's hands, if Yang Feng wants to rebel one day, Chen Yan will naturally not be able to control him." Although Jia Xu ostensibly let Yang Feng and Xu Rong govern together at this time, in fact, he took the opportunity to reduce Yang Feng's military power and make Xu Rong, who he trusted more, become the owner of military power, such a thought is really ......"

But although this idea is good, is it a little too obvious, I don't know if Yang Feng will hold a grudge against Jia Xu?

Surprisingly, Yang Feng was the first to agree: "Mr. Jia Xu's proposal is good, I agree!" ”

Chen Yan didn't expect Yang Feng to be so deeply aware of righteousness, and he was suddenly a little moved in his heart. Yang Feng surrendered himself entirely because he thought he was Zhang Jiao's apprentice, but he was not, Chen Yan's lies were exchanged for Yang Feng's incomparable loyalty, how could Chen Yan not feel guilty at this time?

But in the face of reality, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel guilty, and when everyone saw Yang Feng's agreement, they naturally agreed. Xu Rong naturally couldn't object, he nodded to Yang Feng to show his admiration for Yang Feng.

After a while, everyone reached an agreement, Chen Yan was not here, and the affairs of the city were jointly handled by Xu Rong and Yang Feng.

For such a happy ending, Chen Yan naturally recognized it very much, and even said: "In this case, in the future, the political affairs in the city will look for Yang Feng, the military will look for Xu Rong, and Chen will leave the city for a few days, you don't think about it!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yan stood in the middle of the military tent, and he already seemed to have the spirit of a leader.

Jia Xu suddenly came out of the ranks, bowed down to Chen Yan, and said loudly: "May the lord's flag be victorious and triumphant as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers immediately followed Jia Xu and bowed to the ground and said: "May the Lord open the banner victoriously and triumph as soon as possible!" ”

Chen Yan never expected that he could be treated like this, even yesterday, no one had ever called him "lord".

In fact, it is not surprising that from Chen Yan leaving Chang'an alone, to when he took a risky move to assassinate Duan Xuan, Chen Yan's influence and leadership have left a deep imprint in the hearts of everyone in the army, so at this time, Chen Yan was rewarded.

Whether it was Li Su, who followed Chen Yan early, or Xu Huang and Huang Zhong, who had just joined the camp, everyone knelt on the ground and called them "lords", and they were all convinced by Chen Yan.

At this time, Chen Yan suddenly understood that he had become a powerful force in this troubled world, enough to compete with the princes of one side!

Chen Yan looked at the scene in front of him, and hurriedly ordered everyone to get up, and his words were full of satisfaction.
