Wang Qiong personally went down the steps to support him. This move actually made Xie Qian feel flattered. In an inexplicable mood, he was surrounded by people entering the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

The Governor's Office has begun to hold lights. Wang Qiong did not take Xie Qian into the main hall, but went to the wing room first and prepared to arrange a residence for Xie Qian first.

Xie Qian waved his hand and said, "Dehua, you don't have to work so hard. I just came over to say hello to you and I will go to the inn to settle down later."

Like Chen Xi, Xie Qian did not have a special office office after he arrived at the local area. Originally, he just went to the Governor's Office to meet Wang Qiong and communicate about official affairs. Due to the intention of not interfering with each other by Emperor Zhengde, Xie Qian had the expectation of being cold, but in fact he still hoped to be treated with courtesy. After all, he was the chief minister of the dynasty and his dignity could not be violated.

Wang Qiong said anxiously: "What is Mr. Xie saying? Since he has arrived in Yansui, this Governor's Mansion is your old residence... Is it better to arrange a room for Mr. Xie?"

Soon, the officers and servants from the Governor's Office helped to get their luggage. Because everything had to be prepared temporarily, it was very disturbing. This made Xie Qian wonder whether Wang Qiong's words when he greeted him at the door came from the heart. "Since he has been looking forward to it, he has never thought about arranging my daily life issues first?"

Wang Qiong looked around and felt that the wing room was too noisy. He waved his hand and said, "Old Xie Ge first went to the living room inside to talk... Thank you for your hard work? Where are you here, prepare meals for Mr Xie Ge..."

Xie Qian was invited to the living room by Wang Qiong, where there were all tables, chairs and benches. Xie Qian finally had the opportunity to sit down on the chair and stretched his waist long. He didn't want to get up. When the steaming food was brought to him, he couldn't help but take a sip and didn't even have the strength to speak.

Wang Qiong asked with concern: "It's really unbearable for Mr. Xie to travel a long distance. There is not much to do. Please give me a meal first and wait until you have eaten."

Xie Qian wanted to pretend to behave and first talk to Wang Qiong about the next battle situation and the errands he had to shoulder, but after seeing the meal, he no longer had the intention to talk about other things. He picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating. At first, he could still chew slowly, but he couldn't take care of so much later and swallowed it voraciously.

Wang Qiong kept watching. After Xie Qian ate two bowls of rice and burped comfortably, Wang Qiong got up and poured tea for Xie Qian himself, and was attentive.

Xie Qian put down the bowls and chopsticks, took the tea, took a sip, felt the fragrance of his lips and teeth, then shook his head and sighed: "I will feel like I'm going all the way until I reach you!"

Wang Qiong smiled bitterly and said, "It makes people feel sad when Mr. Xie said this. You are so old but you have to take on such a heavy responsibility, which is really unbearable!"

"Why……"

Xie Qian sighed long and waved his hand and said, "Do you think I am willing to come? Didn't I be maliciously slandered by a group of treacherous villains in front of His Majesty? I have never supported the war against the barbarians since the beginning, so how could I volunteer to transfer to such a bitter and cold place? Isn't I dislike my life long..."

Wang Qiong was not very adapted to Xie Qian's way of speaking. He originally thought that Xie Qian would say a few polite words, but he would start to swear, although he had already understood what Xie Qian said.

Xie Qian took a few sips of tea, moved his muscles and bones, and felt that he had come back to life again, so he asked leisurely: "Dehua, although I have learned some things along the way, I still don't know the specific situation. Tell me about the current situation."

Wang Qiong thought for a while and said in embarrassment: "I don't know where to start for a moment... Judging from what I have learned, Your Majesty has arrived at Xuanfu, and the Ministry of War Chen Shangshu's troops have also arrived in Datong. As for the three sides, the people and horses have also gathered, waiting for the order to attack at any time."

"Half a month ago, His Majesty issued an edict to ask all the troops from the nine sides to cooperate with the operations of Shangshu Chen's troops... However, Shangshu Chen's specific time and direction of military use have not yet been conveyed to Yansui, so I don't know..."

Wang Qiong gave a few simple words to reveal the key points that Xie Qian wanted to know.

Xie Qian thought for a while and asked, "Has the day of sending troops been decided?"

Wang Qiong shook his head: "I am still waiting for the imperial edict from Xuanfu, but as far as I know, even if the time to send troops is determined, Datong Town will first send troops. The speed and direction of the rest of the troops will be different to achieve the encirclement of the Tatar soldiers. In addition, after sending troops, all the troops will still focus on defense!"

Xie Qian nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Yes, we must first ensure that the Ming Dynasty pass is not lost. As for whether the grassland can be pacified, it is not the key point. As long as the Sanbian and Xuanda land are safe and sound, even if there is a small defeat, the court can calmly arrange the situation to deal with it."

Although Wang Qiong may not agree with Xie Qian's words, he still nodded to express his clarity.

Xie Qian sighed, "I'm so sleepy. I wanted to discuss the food and grass allocation with you, but... it seems that I can only talk about it another day."

Wang Qiong understood what Xie Qian wanted to express and immediately said, "Gei Xie, go and rest first. It will be not too late to wait for the next day if you have something to do!"

Xie Qian raised his hand and said, "Even if there are some things I don't say, I still have to remind you that all military orders are based on the imperial orders, so... no matter what orders Datong sent, you must not obey. Do you understand this?"

Wang Qiong was stunned, then understood something, nodded and said, "Prince Xie, please rest assured. In this battle, I will be ordered by the imperial edict!"

After Xie moved to Yansui, he did nothing and blocked the power of Chen Xi to transfer troops from the three sides.

In Xie Qian's opinion, it is not scary for Zhu Houzhao to personally fight. What is scary is that all military power falls into the hands of Chen Xi. If something goes wrong, the soldiers and horses on the nine sides will be in danger of being wiped out, and problems must be prevented before they happen. Of course, Xie Qian did not transfer Chen Xi to death with one stick, saying that as long as the Emperor Xuanfu allowed it to be enforced.

Since it is the imperial commander in person, the emperor should command the overall situation. Even if Chen Xi arranges strategies and tactics, he must first pass the king's eyes and obtain consent. Shen Xi cannot decide by himself.

This will cause trouble. Originally, Datong Town was located between Xuanfu and Yansui. When Chenxi issued military orders, he had to ask about the meaning of Xuanfu first. Regardless of whether the military orders would be delayed in Xuanfu due to Zhu Houzhao's negligence, just talking about the increased transmission distance and the number of approval days, it would be much more complicated than issuing orders directly from Datong Town.

What Chen Xi was most worried about was the messaging, and then Xie Qian's dead order was suppressed, making the message delivery even more lagging.

...

...

Chen Xi, who was stranded in Datong, soon learned that Xie Qian had entered Yansui and clearly knew that the Prime Minister had moved into the Governor's Mansion. Even if Chen Xi didn't know what pressure Xie Qian put on Wang Qiong, she was sure that Xie Qian would not do his best to help him complete the war.

"...Xie Laoer just wanted to make this war loud and thunderous. It would be best if nothing happened. The war ended in harmony and harmony, and the purpose was achieved. He was to maintain the stability of the country in a short period of time and not make any mistakes. But what I pursue was the people's livelihood and economic development of the Ming Dynasty after the stability of the northern border..."

Chen Xi looked at the battle report that Yun Liu had sent back from outside, and felt a little moved.

Facing the lonely lamp placed on the table, Chen Xi was in a lonely mood.

"... In the opinion of Mr. Xie, there is no benefit in my being so radical. I don't know that if the Ming Dynasty wants to develop its economy and people's livelihood, it must ensure a good external environment. If the Ming Dynasty's northern border is haunted by foreign barbarians every few days, how can it complete internal development? The country will always be in a state of war, so how can it develop..."

Chen Xi put down the information in his hand and continued to look at the map in front of him.

Many points are marked on the map, all of which are his planned march routes. Of course, he will not express his true intentions on the map. On the one hand, he is to prevent the military from leaking the news. On the other hand, the plan has not been finalized and needs further consideration.

Just at this time, the guards reported that it was Zhang Yong who asked for a meeting.

After Zhang Yong came in, he said anxiously: "Mr. Shen, news has been heard from the Xuanfu Palace that Your Majesty has a military order to convey Datong."

Chen Xi asked in surprise: "Your Majesty sent a military order? How did Eunuch Zhang know about it?"

Zhang Yong was stunned at first, and then realized that Chen Xi, whose intelligence network was spread all over Datong, didn't know that such a thing was happening, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Shen, we just heard of it. The military order should be sent to the Datong Governor's Office. We thought there would be a copy here..."

Chen Xi looked calm: "Your Majesty probably ordered Datong Town to cooperate with my official actions? I think this matter is not something that Eunuch Zhang needs to worry about."

The more Chen Xi said it lightly, the more Zhang Yong felt that there were many problems. However, seeing that Chen Xi was not interested in continuing to discuss with him, Zhang Yong was very aware and said, "Then our family won't disturb Lord Shen anymore. Let's go back and rest... Lord Shen is still busy with official duties late at night, which is really a model of diligence. But now the safety of the Ming Dynasty depends on the adults, so you should take good care of your health."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for your concern." Chen Xi stood up and saluted.

Zhang Yong shook his head and said goodbye and left.

After Zhang Yong walked for a while, Chen Xi shouted, "Come on, go and call General Jing."

Soon, the guards called Jing Yue to Chenxi.

When Chen Xi assigned tasks to his generals before, Jing Yue was not responsible for training troops, and mainly undertakes the security tasks of Datong City and several important passes in the north. Wang Lingzhi was also the one who received the order with Jing Yue. Both of them were powerful generals under Chen Xi. However, Chen Xi considered that the two of them were too impatient, so he did not let them train troops, but did some basic defense work.

Jing Yue was already angry about the matter of changing defenses. When he learned that Chen Xi was summoning, he rushed over. His expression was full of resentment, and he was perfunctory when he saluted Chen Xi.

"…Sir, the humble position is here." Jing Yue asked, "I don't know what to call?"

Chen Xidao: "Lao Jing, it's been a while since I entered the city. I haven't asked much about Datong. I don't know how to protect the security? Besides, how do you get along with Datong's local city defense yamen?"

Jing Yue was angrily: "What a f*ck, none of those bastards are willing to cooperate. Now that they give them an order, they have to ask the governor's office first... It's strange. Usually, they set up checkpoints at the city gates and passes to check. Do they have to ask the governor for everything? Is it okay?"

"But as the Lord's order, I have brought people to take control of the passes at the North Gate of Datong and the Great Wall outside the Great Wall. However, in the past few days, local officials and generals in Datong seem to be in contact, probably to force the Lord to let these places go and let their people control it..."

Chen Xi looked at Jing Yue and asked with a smile: "Look at how you are, you are so angry."

Jing Yue clasped his fists: "Sir, don't worry about the anger of Huyi. He had a good temper, but after making trouble for several consecutive days, he lost all his mood. General Xiao Wang became even more angry and almost fought with the generals under General Datong, but he was still holding him back."

Chen Xi frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you report it before?"

"It was your order from you. If you have any intention, don't tell you everything." Jing Yue said aggrievedly, "I have often dealt with official documents all night long recently, but I have never dared to bother you. In fact, it is actually a few insignificant things to be serious. There are no foreign enemies invading you, and no one from the Governor's Office has come forward. There are people in the General Office who have been making trouble."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Before I came, I heard that the generals of Datong were not strict in governing the army. Those generals were veterans. They thought we were outsiders and wanted to force us to submit as local tyrants... It is a good thing to maintain restraint. I don't want to hear the news of internal strife in the Ming army."

Jing Yue said: "Sir, please rest assured. No matter what, those bastards under Beizhi are still obedient. However, this is not a solution. If you are always provoked, who is not angry?"

Chen Xi nodded slightly: "When I turn around, I will send someone to help you. It is Tang Yin, who worked under my hands before. If you have any questions, you can listen to his opinions."

"Sir, are you talking about Mr. Tang?" Jing Yue looked a little strange when he heard Tang Yin's name.

"Why, you are not satisfied with it?" Chen Xi asked with a face raised.

"No...no..."

Jing Yue quickly explained, "Mr. Tang always likes to drink, and he always likes to ask Beizhi to drink with him. Beizhi always refuses. After all, this place is a military camp and he cannot drink according to the rules, but he does not listen... However, in official business, Beizhi is willing to follow Mr. Tang's advice."

Only then did Chen Xi realize that Tang Yin's image in the minds of the soldiers was not so tall. This was related to his usual liking to drink and always like to go around in the camp when he was idle. Of course, the main reason was that Chen Xi did not arrange too many errands for Tang Yin.

Chen Xi immediately sent someone to call Tang Yin.

When Tang Yin came over, he was drunk and had a strong smell of alcohol on his body, his face turned red, and he was shaking when he walked, and he was drunk at first glance.

"Shangshu Chen is looking for him. Is there anything wrong?" Tang Yin opened his sleepy eyes, looked at Jing Yue, and then looked at Chen Xi and asked.

Chen Xidao: "What's going on with you? When will the army allow drinking alcohol?"

Tang Yin was stunned and said, "I am not a soldier in the army, and Shangshu Chen has not mentioned to me that I am not allowed to drink. Why do you suddenly blame me now?"

While speaking, Tang Yin glared at Jing Yue fiercely, as if he was blaming Jing Yue for reporting the news.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Okay, there is no prohibition on the law, but I'm now giving an order. Starting today, you are not allowed to drink in the army, and you can arrange an errand for you at the same time... The troops I led have had some small conflicts with the Datong local garrison. If you help General Jing deal with it, remember to be kind and not have too many conflicts."

Tang Yin frowned: "Sir, I don't plan to stay in the military all year round. Is it not that appropriate for you to suddenly announce the ban on alcohol?"

Chen Xi said with a stern face: "If I can do my job well, I can drink with you, but you will still drink in the army all day long. What is this statement? What will the soldiers in the army think? Do you have to be satisfied if someone says that I am not strict in governing the army?"

Tang Yin had nothing to say now. He drank mainly because he was too bored. Chen Xi was very busy and had basically not asked him about the marching and formation. After he arrived in Datong Mansion, he seemed to be unemployed. He really couldn't find any fun without drinking.

Chen Xi turned to Jing Yue and said, "General Jing, when something happens, please follow Brother Bohu's instructions and try to keep your restraint as much as possible. Don't use my name to oppress others. In the future, Datong defense and the outer Great Wall pass will always be returned to local people. We will only control it temporarily for a period of time. You go down first."

Chen Xi asked Jing Yue to leave first and wanted to chat with Tang Yin alone.

When Jing Yue went out, Tang Yin put on a friend's airs, "Shangshu Chen, is this your fault? How can I let the next literati handle the dispute between the martial artists?"

Chen Xi said angrily: "If you don't solve it by literati, can you let a group of martial artists fight in an internal conflict? We are just temporarily stationed in Datong Mansion and will send troops to the grassland in a few days. If Brother Tang doesn't want to go out with him, I'm afraid we won't have much time to get together..."

Tang Yin said flatly: "Who said I would not go out with you with Shangshu Chen?"

Relying on his drunkenness, Tang Yin spoke with a fearless spirit of a hero, but when he looked at Chen Xi, his aura immediately weakened. He was obviously unsure and his determination to go to the front line was not as great as he said.

Chen Xi smiled: "I can understand Brother Tang's mood that he doesn't want to go to the battlefield to fight. Since that's the case, I'll do the job in front of me first. It always makes me feel that it's not in vain to invite Brother Tang to Datong. Look at this matter..."

"Since Shangshu Chen let him go, what can I do to shirke? Aren't it just a few big guys? If the fight between martial arts, the fight between Wen Dou and others must lose!" Tang Yin said confidently, patting his chest.
