Chapter 1185 Tanzhou City
Early the next morning, Chen Yue and others left Caihezi Town under the expectant eyes of more than a dozen veterans.
They wished Chenyue that he would be victorious in every battle in the future, but it was a pity that they no longer had the chance to pick up their swords and mount their horses.
The eyes of Chen Yue and others are still a little swollen.
After singing songs for most of the night and drinking a lot of rice wine, it can be said that it was an all-night party, which is not something ordinary people can withstand.
In the end, only those strong young men were still fighting for drinks. Although it was quite a struggle, Chenyue felt very happy.
From Zhang Shitou's mouth, I learned that this song has a meaning. Spring plowing is about to begin, and the people are praying for good weather and a good harvest in the new year. It is an ancient custom.
If the common people can have a good life, Chenyue will naturally be happy.
Before leaving, Chen Yue left some scraps of silver to Zhang Shitou because he learned that several men in the village died on the battlefield last year, leaving only orphans and widows.
Chenyue left some money and asked Zhang Shitou to give them a share, which could be regarded as a show of friendship.
As a veteran who retired from the army, Zhang Shitou accepted it without saying anything. He could still help with such a small amount of work.
But he may never know in his whole life that Chen Yue, who calls him Big Brother Zhang, is actually the supreme commander of hundreds of thousands of border troops.
A group of cavalry gradually disappeared on the official road. Leng Guinan turned back and glanced in the direction of Caihezi Town, and said with unfinished meaning:
"If I could live like this every day in this life, I would die without regrets~"
"Haha, Master Leng is planning to give up his job now? That's not possible, our Armed Forces Department still needs you to help me take charge." Chen Yue joked.
"Hahaha~"
Leng Guinan smiled and said: "Then I will come and enjoy the blessings when I am old!"
"Hahaha, I'm sure!" Chenyue waved his hand, then spurred his horse and raised his whip: "Let's go, we have to get to Tanzhou City tomorrow!"
"drive!"
"Drive!"
…
After rushing all the way, Tanzhou City, the capital of Liaodong, finally appeared in front of everyone.
Tong Chengxiang and Wang Rusong went out of the city to greet Chenyue together, and welcomed Chenyue into the most powerful fortified city on the black earth.
Tanzhou City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The city has high walls, sufficient supplies, and tight defense.
In order to capture Tanzhou City, the Liang army besieged the city for several months and sacrificed many soldiers. The Yungu Camp even dug several tunnels to sneak into the city, and they cooperated inside and outside to capture Tanzhou City.
Just inside and outside this city wall, countless corpses of soldiers from both sides were buried.
Now the inner city of Tanzhou City has been completely transformed into the seat of the government, with a large amount of grain, grass, supplies, weapons and silver stored in it.
If Yan and Yun fall, they will have to rely on Tanzhou City to support Jianmen Pass on the front line.
At the same time, Tanzhou City also has to guard against changes in the Chang family in the north. It can be said that the geographical location is quite important.
Government agencies at all levels have also been moved into the inner city, and garrison barracks are also located in the inner city.
If one day, Liaodong is in danger and Yanyun falls, then Tanzhou City will be the place for the final battle to the death!
In the center of the inner city there is the Liaodong Jiedushi Palace, which is also the residence of Chenyue.
Although Chenyue spent most of his time in Liangzhou, Tanzhou still prepared a mansion for him.
"Your Majesty!"
"See you, my lord!"
In Jiedushi's mansion, a group of people saluted Chenyue one after another.
There were Wang Rusong, the governor of Liaodong, Tong Chengxiang, the governor, Xue Leihan, the deputy governor, Yao Qingfeng, the governor of Tanzhou, and Zuoqiu, the general of Tanzhou.
Xin Ji was not in Tanzhou because he wanted to sit on the front line with Yun Chen.
"Haha, no gifts, no gifts, it's been almost a month since I entered Liaodong, and I finally met the big guy." Chen Yue smiled and waved his hand for everyone to sit down.
"It seems that the customs and customs of Liaodong attracted the prince. What, how about the prince move the palace to Tanzhou?" Yao Qingfeng said with a cheerful smile.
"Haha, is it possible that Lord Yao wants to build another palace for me?" Chen Yue blinked.
"It's okay, the prince has to pay for the money and food himself." Yao Qingfeng said seriously.
"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Yue glanced at the crowd, and a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Where is Mr. Huangfu? Why didn't you see him coming?"
Huangfu Mu asked Sicheng, the minister of heaven.
As Huangfu Yanling's master, Huangfu Mu has always stayed in Liaodong, and all the information coming from the direction of Liaodong, the direction of Yan Kingdom's East Courtyard, and the direction of the Chang family in the north will be gathered into his hands, and then transferred to Prince Liang's Mansion.
The white-haired Tong Chengxiang said softly: "Two days ago, Mr. Huangfu received an urgent report and left in a hurry with his people."
"Urgent report? What is it?" Chenyue asked in confusion.
The war in the northern border has subsided, and the Jiangnan rebels are still thousands of miles away from the northern border. Chen Yue really can't think of anything important happening now.
Tong Chengxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Huangfu has always been secretive in his work, so we don't know what it is."
"Well, it looks like we can only wait patiently for Mr. Huangfu to come back."
Chen Yue pursed his lips and said, "Then let's all go down and do our work first. In two days, Master Tong will accompany me to Hokusai Academy to visit."
"promise!"
…
When it was getting dark, Xue Leihan slipped into the Jiedushi Mansion. He had something to tell Chen Yue.
Chenyue smiled and said: "Sneaky, what do you want to do?"
"It's not my sister's marriage yet." Xue Leihan muttered, and then took out a secret letter from his waist:
"Here, my grandfather sent someone to deliver it urgently."
Chen Yue curiously took the letter, which introduced in detail what happened after Xue Shen Shen returned to Beijing.
"One hundred and twenty thousand stones? Your Xue family's heritage cannot be underestimated."
Chen Yue was really surprised that Xue Shenchen actually gave out so much food and grass.
You must know that the Xue family supported the Beiliang Army with a large amount of food and grass in the past few years, but they did not expect to spend so much now.

Xue Leihan chuckled and said, "Why are you jealous, Your Majesty? Are you planning to evacuate my Xue family's property?"
"Hahaha!" Chenyue laughed loudly:
"Anyway, as my uncle, you will definitely have to pay a lot of dowry."
Hearing these words, Xue Leihan rolled her eyes, and then said solemnly:
"According to grandpa's wishes, when he returns to Qingzhou this time, he will start preparing for the Xue family to move north."
"So urgent?" Chenyue frowned.
Xue Leihan nodded: "Changes will happen later. Now the imperial court is busy with the war in the south of the Yangtze River and cannot take into account the marriage between our two families.
I'm afraid that they will have their hands free in the future and cause us trouble all day long.
So start moving first, what grandpa means is to move little by little."
"It makes sense." Chenyue nodded:
"It must be that if the Xue family has such a big property, it cannot be completed overnight if it is really necessary to pack it all up and move it to Liangdi.
According to my opinion, the Xue family's move to the north should be kept as secret as possible, and the later the court knows about it, the better."
"Yes, grandpa said so too."
Xue Leihan let out a long sigh: "The Xue family has many properties, and it is impossible to move them all to Beiliang. At that time, we will have to sell some insignificant properties at low prices.
I’m afraid I’m going to lose a lot of my free money this time.”
"Hahaha~" Chenyue laughed and patted his shoulder: "Brother, be more generous!"
Xue Lei said coldly: "Emotions are not your money!"
"Sooner or later, I'll get a share of myself!"
"Hahaha!"
They both burst into laughter.
