Chapter 284 Minister

"Cough..., that Zhicai, Han Wenjie (Han Fu) is my mother's eldest brother, that is, my uncle." Li Zhong said with a wry smile. He didn't mention this to Xi Zhicai before, but now he even asked him to pay attention to Han Fu. I don't think Han will spare him.

"Ah", Xi Zhicai's eyes widened. Although he had long expected that Han Fu's relationship with Li Zhong was unusual, he didn't expect Han Fu to be Li Zhong's uncle, and Han Fu helped Li Zhong a lot, so this... seemed to be a little troublesome.

"Well, let's put it down first. I'm going to expand two legions. What about you?" Li Zhong asked.

Everyone nodded. Although there are only two states now, the strong enemy has contained nearly half of the 200,000 troops in this battle alone, so it is seen that there are many Youzhou troops, but it is not too much to use.

"Lord, you can take the captured Bingzhou army to form a legion. In addition, I suggest that another legion is also recruiting soldiers in Bingzhou, which will play a good role in controlling the state," Guo Jia said.

Li Zhong nodded and agreed with this view. Only by integrating Youzhou and Bingzhou can make it more stable and strong, and recruiting Bingzhou people to join the army is the fastest and safest way.

"Our army has captured nearly 100,000 state troops, so it is not a big problem to form an army. Well, order Xu Rong to be named the fifth legion as the commander, and the other legion as the sixth legion. This legion commander will be Yan Liang," Li Zhong said righteously.

Xu Rong has been with General Li Zhong for three or four years. He has been recognized by everyone in terms of seniority or human character and wisdom. No one must object to let him be the commander of the Fifth Army, while Yan Liang is the longest general who followed Li Zhong. As early as Li Zhong started his life with Wen Chou, Guan Hai followed Li Zhong.

In recent years, his military career has also changed a lot. Although he is not resourceful, he is more than enough to be the commander of an army, and he himself is superior in martial arts.

Everyone nodded and agreed to Li Zhong's order.

"In this case, Fengxiao, you will order Xu Rong to come as soon as possible, and Yan Liang will ask him to recruit soldiers in Youzhou as soon as possible," Li Zhong said to Guo Jia.

"Yes, Lord," Guo Jia replied.

"Yuan Hao, Guo Rang, your main task is to restore Bingzhou as soon as possible. If you need anything, you can tell me, but it is estimated that I will return to Ji County soon," Li Zhong said to them.

"Lord, although the battle of Bingzhou is over, it is still a little unstable. I don't know how many troops the lord can leave behind," Tian Feng asked.

"Well, the Fifth Army and the Tiger and Leopard Iron Horse both stayed in Bingzhou, and the Fourth Legion of Gongming also stayed in Bingzhou, which should be enough," Li Zhong said after pondering for a moment.

"In this way, the two of us will be relieved," Tian Feng said with a smile.

Li Zhong said, "Yes, what's wrong with Yanyi?"

"The West River of Shangjun is currently under the control of our army, but General Zhang's hand is only the Wuwan Iron Horse, and his forces must be a little scattered. And both counties are currently appointing the original officials, which is also a problem," Guo Jia said.

"Well, let Gongming lead the Fourth Legion to Shangjun immediately to assist Yanyi. In addition, the prisoners of the Bingzhou Army can ask Gongming to select first and give priority to supplement the Fourth Legion. I have only one request, that is, to restore the strength of the Fourth Legion as soon as possible, and the people selected must It is necessary to be loyal to our army. In addition, 50 "professors" from Youzhou are selected to accompany the army to come to Bingzhou, ten people from the fourth army and 20 people each in the sixth army." Li Zhong said that no matter in any era, the army is the top priority, so it is very necessary to maintain the independence and purity of the army, and he must not pay attention to it.

"Yes," Guo Jia replied.

"Well, that's all for today..." Li Zhong got up and said to everyone.

"Lord," an iron guard shouted.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhong said.

Tie Wei said respectfully, "Lord, this is the biography of Youzhou's flying pigeon." After saying that, he handed a note to Li Zhong.

Li Zhong nodded, took it over and looked at it. He frowned, but said nothing.

"Lord, what happened in Youzhou?" Tian Feng saw Li Zhong frowning and asked.

Li Zhong shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my father asked me to go back and said that there was something important." Obviously, he was also very confused. Li Wen didn't care much about Li Zhong at ordinary times. How could he think of using a flying pigeon to send a book to let him go back early.

The rest of the people stopped talking. Since it was Li Wen who asked him to go back, this was Li Zhong's family matter, and they couldn't take care of it.

"Bingzhou has gradually stabilized, and I can also go back at ease, but I have to bother the three more." Li Zhong turned his head and looked at Xi Zhi and waited for the three people and said. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't think about it. Anyway, when I go back, he will naturally know why there is no need to be so sad.

"This is my equal affairs," the three of them hugged their fists and agreed.

Li Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Let Yanyi hand over the defense of Shang County and Xihe counties to Gongming, and order Junyi to be the governor of Bingzhou, command the military of Bingzhou, and aspire to serve as a military division. Mr. Yuan Hao is responsible for the punishment and transfer of those corrupt officials. I don't know what the three people are doing?" The separation of military and politics can maximize their respective strength and avoid the occurrence of some things.

The three shook their heads. They had no dissatisfaction or resistance to Li Zhong's order. They just completed the task assigned by Li Zhong, which was their responsibility.

"Well, the three of you should also cooperate with Lord Ding Yuan. After all, he has been rooted in Bingzhou for more than ten years and is quite prestigious. As long as he does not violate our Youzhou military regulations and our military interests, he will really close his eyes," Li Zhong said to the three people.

Three people nodded.

"Yes, Yuan Hao, Guo Rang, you two can only allow him to drink a small cup of wine every day. In addition, the drugs prescribed by Mr. Hua Tuo should also remind him every day, otherwise I guess these drugs will eventually become moldy." Li Zhong turned his head and looked at Xi Zhicai, and then said to Tian Feng and Tian Yu. .

The two nodded. They were also deeply touched by Li Zhong's heartfelt concern and looked at Xi Zhi jokingly.

Although Xi Zhicai, as the subject, looks aggrieved on the surface, he knows that there are tears in his eyes at a closer look. Since he turned to Li Zhong, Li Zhong has even received more care and care for him since he was born to adult. Often some people hate his skinny appearance. He has to retreat. He is a sick and ominous person.

But Li Zhong told him all the time from his words and deeds that he was not such a person.

The so-called grace of dripping water should be retribution, not to mention the kindness of knowing the encounter. Therefore, for Li Zhong's understanding, Xizhi is even more grateful for the original choice. For nothing else, he has to repay Li Zhong's heartfelt care alone.

"Don't worry, the two of us will look at him." Both of them looked at Xi Zhicai and understood his inner thoughts at this moment and laughed.

Li Zhong nodded with satisfaction and said, "When this happens, Zhicai, do you want me to ask Xiuer to introduce you to a girl?" Li Zhong said with a smile, and his tone was quite interesting.

After listening to Li Zhong's words, the rest of the people also laughed and couldn't help laughing when they looked at Xi Zhicai's bald appearance.

As soon as Xi Zhicai heard this, his whole face turned red and said, "Master, I, this..." He was usually quite wise as soon as he was told by Li Zhong, and he was directly incoherent. It seemed that he was still quite thin-skinned.

"Okay, okay, just kidding. But Zhicai, you have to hurry up on this matter. Is your uncle and aunt still waiting for you to pass on the succession to them? Hahaha," Li Zhong waved his hand and said, laughing and leaving here. It seems that he is ready to leave.

Looking at Li Zhong's back, the tears in Xi Zhicai's eyes finally couldn't help flowing down his thin face. No matter what happened, he was his lord in his life, and he was his most loyal minister!
