Chapter 1211: Knife Sharpening (Part 1)

Jinghu County City, the Grand Marshal's Mansion. The civil officials and military generals gathered together, ranking among the left and right. The civil officials were headed by the magistrate of Jinghu County Zeng Lin, and the military general was led by Suqian, the former western border general. With Cheng Wuben's departure, the eastern border army of Chu ushered in another era of his, the Bian Wushuang era.

The people in the hall naturally had different thoughts. Zeng Lin sat in the left head position, looking at the nose and the heart. Opposite him, Suqian leaned on a chair, squinted his eyes and looked at the beams, not knowing what he was thinking. The second position under Suqian was empty, and the cavalry general Jiang Shangyan was originally sitting there. However, since Cheng Wuben left, Jiang Shangyan had not returned to the county town to report his duties, and he had not stayed in the army, and he was actually missing. Jiang Shangyan's attitude was very important to the eastern border army in the Chu State, which also meant whether Bian Wushuang could integrate the eastern border army with different factions.

Judging from the numbers, the eastern border army is now strong. When Bian Wushuang came to office, he brought 20,000 of his own troops, and the Western Army also had 20,000 troops under Suqian. Luo Hu and Luo Bao were affiliated with the Luo Liang faction. In the past, he was repeatedly suppressed in the Jinghu War Zone. The 20,000 troops lost a lot in the battle that had just ended, but there were still more than 15,000 people. The three parties combined, so they were close to 60,000. But the one with the strongest strength was the original Chengwuben group of soldiers. Chengwuben had only helped two things in the Jinghu War Zone for several years. The first thing was to repel the Qi army and ensure Jinghu. The second thing was to expand the army. Now the total number of soldiers and horses under the Jinghu War Zone exceeded 50,000. More importantly, among these 50,000 people, there are 10,000 cavalrymen from Jiangshangyan. This is a powerful force that Chengwuben has spared no effort to build.

After Cheng Wuben left, Jiang Shangyan naturally became the leader of these 50,000 people. His attitude will determine whether the entire Eastern Army can be united.

For Bian Wushuang, behind Jiang Shangyan was not only the 50,000 troops, but also Ning Zhiwen's navy and the civil servant group headed by Zeng Lin. If they could not be subdued, then the eastern commander would be of no pleasure.

This is why Jiang Shangyan has not appeared in nearly a month and has never even met him, the freshly released man, once, but Bian Wushuang still hangs his position.

This person is now a hornet's nest, and he can't move easily. Once he moves, he can easily explode the nest.

When Bian Wushuang took office, the happiest thing was Luo Hu and Luo Bao. They were so angry that they were almost unwilling to stay in the Eastern Theater Command over the years that they were almost unwilling to see them. They changed their equipment and were in arrears of food and wages, but when they started a war, they had to charge forward. Finally, they finally got to Cheng Wuben and took the lead. Bian Wushuang took over the power, so they naturally felt that spring was coming.

If Bian Wushuang wants to completely grasp power, it will be inevitable that he will win over Luo Huluo Bao and suppress the old-school forces led by Jiang Shangyan.

Thinking that they were finally about to stand out, both of them were glowing their eyes and looking at the empty seat in the middle of the lobby, their faces were full of joy.

That location is naturally Bian Wushuang's.

"The Grandmaster is here!" With a powerful shout, the civil and military officials in the hall stood up, their bodies slightly sideways, and looked at the side door with curtains hanging on the side of the lobby.

A guard came out first, lifted the curtain, and then, Bian Wushuang, wearing a formal court uniform, appeared in everyone's sight.

"I've seen the Grand Marshal!" Zeng Lin and Suqian bowed first.

Bian Wushuang strode to the counter soldiers, glanced at the people in the lobby one by one, and a smile finally appeared on his serious face, and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be too polite, please sit down!"

Seeing everyone sitting alone, Bian Wushuang still stood upright, looked at everyone and said, "Bian was valued by His Majesty and was entrusted by Mr. Cheng. From today on, he will officially take over as the commander of the eastern region and command the military and political affairs of the eastern region. Mr. Bian was trembling with fear, fearing that he would be worthy of the court. Please work together with me to work hard to recover the six eastern regions and resist the invasion of the strong Qi in the south."

"I wish to be the commander!" Everyone in the hall answered in unison.

Bian Wushuang smiled and nodded, "Come here, please give me a flag and a sword of the emperor!"

As Bian Wushuang finished speaking, a group of people appeared outside the side door again. Seeing the costumes, they were eunuchs in the palace. Everyone couldn't help but change their faces. They stood up at the same time, and the King's Flag-Platform Sword almost represented the arrival of the emperor. No one expected that the emperor would actually trust Bian Wushuang so much. You must know that even when Luo Liang was in power, he had never obtained the King's Flag-Platform Sword.

"Your Majesty gave me the king the flag and the emperor's sword, but I can deal with all the civil and military officials under the eastern border army without any orders." Bian Wushuang's eyes became sharp and slowly swept across everyone: "But I hope that the moment I didn't use him."

The lobby became quiet, and Luo Hu and Luo Bao were even happier. Bian Shuai was so trustworthy and had the sword of the emperor. The rebellious Jiang Shangyan seemed to be in trouble. The new official took office for three fires. Bian Wushuang's first fire was to recover Wanzhou City and burned very strongly. Then he took the initiative to establish his power. Who would be more suitable to be the leader than Jiang Shangyan? Once Jiang Shangyan fell, the importance of the two of them in the army would be further improved. The two of them looked at Bian Wushuang's eyes, and they were naturally more eager. But Bian Wushuang took the initiative to surrender as soon as he arrived in Jinghu. Now it is time to gain something.

After Bian Wushuang talked about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, unity, unity, and sharing the foreign land, regaining the hometown, and revitalizing the Great Chu, he finally sat down and everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. The opening remarks were over, and what was next was the arrangement of some truly important matters, and those were the key to laying the new pattern of the entire Eastern Theater Command in the future.

"General Suqian!" In everyone's attention, Bian Wushuang looked at Suqian.

Suqian stood up: "The last one is here!"

"The general is a veteran general in a hundred battles, and his elite Western army is the leader of the Great Chu army. I want your troops to station Wanzhou to block the Jinghu barrier. I wonder what the general wants?" Bian Wushuang said.

When everyone in the hall was stunned when he heard Bian Wushuang's first order. Although Wanzhou was recovered, it has now become the front line of fighting against the Qi army. It will inevitably be extremely difficult. Shouldn't Cheng Wuben's old subordinates be driven there?

Suqian did not react in any special way and said calmly: "The last general will take the order."

Bian Wushuang nodded, and the second one he reached was Luo Hu.

"General Luo Hu!"

"The last one is here!" Luo Hu stood up excitedly.

"This time we recover Wanzhou and wipe out Zhou Jiyun's unit, General Luo made an indelible contribution. I am a new general in Jinghu and there is still a shortage of a central officer. I wonder if General Luo Hu can surrender?" Bian Wushuang asked with a smile.

To put it bluntly, the Central Army Officer is a soundtrack for the Grand Marshal. His status is indeed respected and his position is high. To put it bluntly, he is able to live with the Grand Marshal day and night, but the disadvantage is that he has left his direct subordinates. To put it bluntly, he has no military power. When he heard this appointment, Luo Hu was shocked. Although this official position has been raised, there seems to be something wrong? Then he thought that Bian Shuai had just arrived in the east and urgently needed a foothold. What he needs most now is a general who is loyal to him. He seems to be one of the people he likes. He is promoted to the Central Army Officer.

A test is that if you do well, then you will go down and lead the army, which is a matter of Bian Shuai. When you become a central officer and then go down, your position will be very different. It is an equal position with Suqian. After Jiang Shangyan returned from the Ming Dynasty, wasn’t he the Central Army officer who served as the first in Cheng Wuben’s account? Next was Jinghu vigorously formed a cavalry. After the cavalry was formed, Jiang Shangyan became the chief general of this powerful cavalry with orders. Bian Shuai was repeating the process of Jiang Shangyan’s advance for himself. Luo Liang couldn’t help but feel excited.

"I will!" he shouted.

"Okay. Since you have served as the Central Army, your original subordinates will be incorporated into Luo Bao's army. The two of you are suffering a lot of damage in this battle. It is appropriate to be organized into a first army. Luo Bao, and you will quickly reorganize the army and restore combat power." Bian Wushuang looked at Luo Bao.

"Abide by the order!" Seeing Bian Wushuang bring Luo Hu's army under Luo Bao's command, Luo Hu's original worry was immediately wiped out.

After arranging these three people, Bian Wushuang looked at everyone in the hall with a smile and said, "Now my eastern border army, the field army and county soldiers, and the total number of auxiliary soldiers is more than 158,000. I think there are too many soldiers. The soldiers are more important than the number, so next, I plan to reorganize the army and lay off 50,000 troops. The eastern border army is enough."

A heavy exhalation sound came from the hall. Is the highlight finally coming? Suqian went to Wanzhou, and Luo Bao merged with Luo Hu's troops. The number of troops was laid off was only 50,000, but Bian Wushuang's target of laying off was more than 50,000. Who was the one who laid off for these 50,000 people? The answer was self-evident, and it was naturally Cheng Wuben's headquarters.

In the lobby, many generals showed an angry look on their faces. It was true that the emperor and the ministers were all the time. As soon as they came up, they would sharpen their knives.

"Master General, although Wanzhou has been restored, Zhou Jiyun still has strength. Qi may strongly support him. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to disarmament on such a large scale at this time?" Zeng Lin, the left leader, asked. "And Your Majesty hopes that we can continue to help regain our lost land and lay off so many troops at once. I am afraid that it will be a problem for the next military operations?"

"I have my own concerns about this matter!" Bian Wushuang laughed: "Mr. Zeng, in fact, I am accused of withdrawing troops, and more so for Lord Zeng!"
