Since Meng Yan settled in Chengdu, he has launched five conquests against Zhuge Xingchen who fled to the Xichuan grassland. However, Zhuge Xingchen escaped four consecutive times with his own ability. During the four times, he was able to escape from Yu Geng and Jin Qian Xifu.

It is really unusual for the commander-in-chief's men to escape.

"This Zhuge Xingchen is really a strange man. He has ruined the reputation of our two commanders in the Xifu." Meng Yan said with a smile while waving the Mingjian Division's express report in his hand.

"Your Highness, since Zhuge Xingchen has already reached Dafeichuan, let Jing Yi and the others come back first. Staying any longer will waste military resources and increase unnecessary casualties." It was rare for the newly promoted Lieutenant Ye Bohuai to take the initiative to participate.

"What the Lieutenant said is right. Jing Yi and the others can return to the court and arrest them again when there is a chance. We can also invite the Xijing side to encircle and suppress Zhuge Xingchen together. I think they are willing." Zhuo Bailing said, stroking his beard.

"Where's eldest brother? What do you think?" Meng Yan turned to Lu Chongzong and asked.

Lu Chongzong stood up and worshiped: "Your Highness, I think we can station an army permanently in western Sichuan. One is to kill Zhuge Xingchen. The other is that our western mansion relies on the plateau. The Zhu Mu family is always a hidden danger to us. The third is that we are not marching into Sichuan."

The natural barrier of the Western Region."

Ye Bohuai and Zhuo Bailing took a deep breath, then looked at each other and said to themselves: "This guy is already a blockbuster even if he doesn't complain! It's obvious that he has thoughts about Guan Long!"

Meng Yan was also a little surprised. In his impression, his eldest brother was just foolish and loyal, and he didn't expect to have such insight.

"Both of you, do you agree?" Meng Yan turned to Ye Bohuai and Zhuo Bailing.

Ye Bohuai shrugged and said it didn't matter, but Zhuo Bailing thought about it carefully and then said: "The grand master's words are reasonable. The soldiers can be sent to the south, and the residents of Yeling are recruited for the main task. The mountains and forests in these two places are high, and the mountain people have to endure the scorching heat to make a living.

The severe cold is just not suitable for Zhuge Xingchen to deal with, and a general needs to be selected to guard it."

Meng Yan was discouraged at the mention of Meng Yan, and the guards in various places could not move without permission. It was indeed difficult to choose someone who could compete with Zhuge Xingchen, but instability in the rear was a big taboo, otherwise the alliance agreement with Xijing would not have been reached.

"The matter of recruiting soldiers will be done according to the Taifu's instructions. Do you have any recommendations for the guards? Don't be formal. Today is not a formal meeting." Meng Yan said while looking at Ye Bohuai. In his heart, Ye Bohuai was the first and only choice.

Ye Bohuai understood what Meng Yan meant, but he really didn't want to get too involved in military affairs. Meng Yan had long known about the secret exchanges between him and Zhong Sanniang.

But since Meng Yan was interested, he couldn't say nothing, so he sat up straight and said: "Your Highness, if we talk about guarding western Sichuan, it would be most appropriate for me to serve as a minister."

After Zhuo Bailing heard this, his body moved and he glanced at Meng Yan. Ye Bohuai could no longer control the army. He was about to speak when he heard Ye Bohuai continue to say: "But I am also the most unsuitable. If I go out to Zhenxi Sichuan, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will be killed."

The stars will be hidden deeper."

Ye Bohuai's pride is not pride, but his real ability. The other three people present do not doubt this. Meng Yan has been the number one in the military most of the time since he led the army alone. Everyone is even more convinced that as long as he is willing

None of the famous generals in the world are his opponents, not even Meng Yan dares to say that he can defeat him.

"In the Taiwei's opinion, which general is more suitable for guarding?" Lu Chongzong asked.

"The only ones in the Xifu army who can match Zhuge Xingchen are Qingshuai, Hushuai and Jinshuai. But Qingshuai is in charge of Jiangxia and is wary of the pressure from Xijing, Luochen, Yuzhang and Jinling. It is absolutely impossible to move. Hushuai is guarding

The pressure in Changsha is not light either. Jin Shuai's body is already like this. He can't stand the climate in the grasslands of western Sichuan and can't make the trip. The generals guarding various places can't move either. It's difficult!" Zhuo Bailing said helplessly.

"There is a person who Zhuge Xingchen is afraid of but hates even more." Ye Bohuai said lightly.

"He can't do it. I made a promise to him in the first place." Meng Yan immediately understood who Ye Bohuai was referring to and refused immediately.

Ye Bohuai spread his hands and said: "Then I don't have any suitable candidates."

Zhuo Bailing also nodded, not sure whether he agreed with Meng Yan or felt that what Ye Bohuai said was reasonable.

Lu Chongzong looked puzzled. The three of them looked at Meng Yan doubtfully, as if they were playing a riddle, hoping he would give an answer.

Meng Yan saw Lu Chongzong's confusion and said: "Chengdu Ling Yanlan has been in charge of Chengdu these years and has been dedicated to his duties. He has stopped taking charge of the army since I entered Chengdu. At this time, even if he is willing, the generals in the army will not

I will be convinced."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhuo Bailing said: "It's better to let the Yingshuai guard the place temporarily. At present, we mainly focus on training troops, and there is no need to go too far into the grassland."

Meng Yan shook his head and said: "Zhuo Gong, it is more appropriate to train troops in actual combat. You are the master of military training, don't you understand this principle?"

"Uh, I made a mistake." Zhuo Bailing was a little embarrassed. He had not been in charge of troops for many years and had even forgotten the essentials of military training.

"There is another person, just to see if the prince dares to use it. I have fought with him for many years. His ability is not far inferior to Tang Yuan, it is even better than Tang Yuan. It's just that his background is really bad." Lu Chongzong said suddenly.

"Who is it? I have fought with you for many years. He is under Tang Yuan's command. Why can't I remember who it is?" Meng Yan looked surprised. It was strange that there were people he couldn't control. Then he looked at Ye and Zhuo.

, all looked confused.

"Di Xin, he should be in the Mingjian Division Prison now." Lu Chongzong said calmly.

When Meng Yan heard Di Xin's name, he immediately rummaged around on his desk and found a Mingjian Secretary document. After reading it, his frown gradually relaxed, and he exclaimed: "Wonderful! This guy is really awesome."

What a wonderful man!"

Then he handed the document to Zhuo Bailing. Zhuo Bailing struggled a little after reading it. Ye Bohuai looked over curiously and exclaimed in the same way: "This person is suitable, what is his background! This kind of thing is the least valued in our Xifu.

"

Di Xin was born into a prostitute. What is a prostitute? It was during the period of Ling Chengzu that after the Baiyue land in the south was pacified, the children of the Baiyue royal family were moved to Luling. The men entered the palace as slaves and the women were prostitutes for generations. Xiao Yu was in power.

In order to appease the people under his rule, he specially pardoned the untouchables, lifted his status as a commoner, and Di Xin had the opportunity to join the army. When Xiao Yu left Yuzhang, most of the soldiers with untouchable backgrounds chose to stay. Xiao Yu just couldn't see it.

Go up to them and let them stay.

After Zhong Roulan took charge of Yuzhang, in order to increase the strength of the army, he specially selected the outstanding ones from the untouchable soldiers to enrich the army. However, due to his status, no matter how outstanding he was, he could not be promoted to the fifth rank, let alone the general. Di Xin was defeated by Tang

Yuan selected Zhong as a pro-army bodyguard. He grew up as a general during the small-scale conflicts with Xiao Yu, Lu Chongzong and Chen Jing. Although he was favored by Tang Yuan and even recognized by most of the generals in Tang Yuan's army, due to identity issues

Neither can get the position they deserve.

When Tang Yuan was no longer in the army, everyone was dominated by Di Xin. He defeated Lu Chongzong several times. He was a rare general. In the confrontation with Xuan Song, he even pushed Xuan Song into a corner. Xuan Song's

The people in Xifu know the talent. Even Chen Zhiqing praised Xuan Song for cultivating him and he must be the pillar of the Xifu army. This shows Di Xin's talent.

Di Xin was able to be captured thanks to Chu Dian's defeat. At that time, Tang Yuan used Di Xin as his envoy to coordinate Chu Dian's army. When Chu Dian fled, he didn't care about Di Xin's life or death. The soldiers of Xifu fished him out of the river.

It has been closed ever since.

Later, the Mingjian Division was very interested in his experience, and thanks to Su Qing's foresight, he was moved from the military prison to the Mingjian Division Prison. Some time ago, Su Qing compiled detailed documents of the people detained by the Mingjian Division and submitted them to

Meng Yan, for some reason Meng Yan had an impression.

"Your Highness, it is true that the issue of identity is not something our Xifu takes seriously, but can Di Xin take on the important task of taking charge of the Xifu?" Zhuo Bailing said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter! It's a good thing to have someone chosen. Lieutenant, I have to use your name for this matter, are you willing?" Meng Yan already had a plan in mind.

"For the people and the country, Ye doesn't care!" Ye Bohuai probably guessed what Meng Yan meant.

"That's good. Taifu has drafted the order. I asked you to polish it and write it. The king wants to set up a new military flag. The three departments of government affairs, military council, and civil and commercial affairs will join forces with the two general managers of Yeling and Zhaonan and the two general offices.

We will recruit Ye Ling within three months, and we will order Nannan to be a good citizen who is good at riding and shooting, and who can withstand the cold and heat. We will first recruit troops from a school, and this Di Xin will temporarily take over the post of school captain, so that everyone can get over it."

Meng Yan finished speaking in one breath.

Zhuo Bailing probably took note of this and was going to go down to the Chancellor to issue an order. Of course, this matter should be done sooner rather than later.

"Ahem, let me tell you, everyone, you have made a decision, but Di Xin is still in prison, and it is not yet certain whether he is willing or not. Are you too anxious to do this?" Lu Chongzong quickly stopped him.

The three of them looked at Lu Chongzong strangely. Lu Chongzong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and said, "What? Is there any problem? What I said is the truth!"

"I thought Mr. Yu knew it. It seems that Mr. Yu is not familiar with the normal conditions of Xifu." Ye Bohuai said with a smile.

Just when Lu Chongzong was about to ask, Zhuo Bailing said: "Grand Master, there is an unwritten rule in the Xifu. No matter whether they are civil servants or military generals, they can be promoted through recommendation, but the person who recommends him is the guarantor, so I still have to worry about Di Xin's affairs."

The teacher will solve it himself."

Lu Chongzong suddenly realized it and thought to himself: This younger brother is really good at it, and the recommender is also the guarantor. He is a grasshopper on a rope. If something goes wrong, no one can escape. No wonder everyone in the Xifu is united and working together.

"Then it's my fault, right?" Lu Chongzong also smiled.

Everyone laughed together.

The efficiency of the Xifu's work is very high. After the royal palace issued an order, all departments and offices started operating quickly. Except for Gu Yanfeng, the middle hall of the two courts, who asked in detail, no one else said much.

When Jingyi's army returned to the capital and arrived at the outskirts of Chengdu, the recruitment of soldiers had been basically completed, and most of them had gathered in the Lucheng Department. The Lucheng Department had now basically followed the example of the Central Plains in building the city. Meng Yan personally named it Kangcheng and Lucheng.

The leader of the department is the commander of Kangcheng, and the prefect of Kangcheng is directly appointed by the Secretary of State.

After Lu Chongzong persuaded Di Xin many times to put aside his hostility, and with the help of the Mingjian Division, Di Xin's family in Luling were sent to Chengdu for resettlement. Only then did Di Xin sincerely join the Xifu.

However, the appointment of Di Xin did not come directly from the palace. Instead, Di Xin was appointed as the thief-defeating captain through the governor's order to lead the newly recruited soldiers.

Then, the palace ordered Lieutenant Ye Bohuai to be the commander-in-chief, and decided on the strategy of conquering Zhuge Xingchen, the Zhu Mu clan, and the various tribes in the northern grasslands. The Qing tribe in the Beichuan grassland was not as united as the Qiang tribe in the Xichuan grassland. The newly recruited soldiers and horses came from Kangcheng.

Set out to go north, and within two years it is necessary to pacify Beichuan Qingbu and build the city of Jinchuan in Beichuan. The new commander's mansion will be completed in Jinchuan City to take charge of Beichuan and Xichuan grasslands.

On the day of Ye Bohuai's departure, Meng Yan personally went out of the city to see him off, and personally delivered the military flag to Ye Bohuai. Ye Bohuai unfolded the military flag and wrote the word "Snow Wolf", which was the fourth military flag of Xifu and the official establishment of the Commander's Palace.

The coach of the Wolf Army is Ye Bohuai, who has been famous all over the world for a long time. No one cares about the captain named Di Xin next to Ye Bohuai, but no one knows that this Di Xin will be a nightmare on the grassland.
