With a bang, as a white piece fell on the chess scale, a big dragon of the black piece was immediately slaughtered. Cao Xin lamented and threw the black piece in his hand into the chess box. His chess skills were not under Gongsun Changming, but this game was defeated by the other party. If the slaughtered dragon was also picked up, the chessboard would be really white and clean.

"The war has basically ended, the most difficult time has passed, why is my heart even more confused?" Gongsun Changming asked casually threw the white piece in his hand on the chessboard.

"It's time for me to go back." Cao Xin said: "It's more troublesome to go back."

Gongsun Changming nodded. Relatively speaking, fighting is a simple matter, and wiping his butt after the disaster is like a mess, which is still messy.

"After the spring plowing ended, Yizhou originally wanted to promote the rectification of water conservancy projects, remove silt, consolidate dams and dredge, but this war messed up everything. Seeing that the summer flood was coming, and then it would be a long rainy season. Yizhou had many water systems. If one is not good, it would be flooded. If it really happened, it would be a disaster. This year's harvest has become a big problem, and the impact would be great." Cao Xin frowned.

"Within a ten-day period, Lu Long and Zhenwu will almost withdraw their troops. In fact, now, you can consider leading your troops to leave." Gongsun Changming said.

"Jie Zheng talked to me. Yizhou will leave 3,000 people, Zhenzhou will leave 5,000 people, Shenzhou will produce 2,000 people, forming an army of 10,000 people, under You Yong's unified command. Jie Zheng paid his own money and equipped all his equipment into armored soldiers, ready to launch a war of revenge against Zhenwu." Cao Xin said.

"Jingshuai is really angry this time, ten thousand soldiers, hehe, this has directly overturned Chengde's combat power. Who are you going to leave behind to command your three thousand people?" Gongsun Changming asked with a smile.

"Wang Wenshu!" Cao Xin said, "Actually, I didn't want to keep him, but You Yong asked to come to the door in person. Wang Wenshu was also a strong battlefield general before, and he was also aware of all matters in battlefield supplies, logistics, etc. You Yong hoped that Wang Wenshu would stay and help him. Wang Wenshu himself also strongly hoped to stay, so I agreed."

"You Yong is still as experienced as ever." Gongsun Changming nodded: "Wang Wenshu has been reborn after this great disaster. He lost 70 kilograms in one month or the like. If I hadn't seen him do it these days, I wouldn't have believed that he was completely different now."

"Actually, compared to these, the more difficult thing to do when you go back is how to get along with the young master!" Cao Xin was stunned for a while and looked at Gongsun Changming and said, "Mr. Gongsun has taught me?"

"You have always been wise and illusory, why did you hesitate this time?" Gongsun Changming said in confusion.

"Mr. Li's attitude is hard to understand." Cao Xin frowned.

Gongsun Changming laughed: "Cao Gong, think about it, how do you think of you and the young master now?"

Cao Xin touched his beard and smiled bitterly: "It is probably because he regards me as a supporter of the young master. And he is hard to tell."

"Why should we argue?" Gongsun Changming said: "Does Mr. Li still have a choice now? Mr. Cao, please be honest, Mingren is no longer here. You need to work for the Cao and Wang families for a few more years. Waiting for the next person to grow up, now is the best opportunity."

Cao Xin nodded thoughtfully.

"After saying this, I felt a little illuminated. However, in Yizhou, there are two power centers now. To be honest, the people below are afraid that they will be at a loss. Speaking of which, I also feel that it is difficult to get the right position for a while!"

"That kid Li Ze didn't tell you anything?" Gongsun Changming asked.

"Young Master is very thoughtful and really wrote me a letter about this matter." Cao Xin said: "What do you think he said?"

"His thoughts are always incredible and difficult to understand." Gongsun Changming said: "I can't figure out what he wants to do."

"In his letter, he told me that Wuyi, Xindu, and the three places he occupied, were still subordinates of Yizhou, but he asked me to regard these three places as a special administrative region and he had full control." Cao Xin spread his hands.

"What, the Special Administrative Region?" Gongsun Changming was also dumbfounded.

"To put it bluntly, he is the support he should ask me for. He will be rude, but I can't reach where he is." Cao Xin said angrily and amused.

"He is really straightforward." Gongsun Changming shook his head and said, "Did you agree to him?"

"What if I don't agree? In fact, he even appointed Xindu and Shiyi's county magistrates. And he stationed troops in Xindu and Shiyi." Cao Xin said.

"Well, let him make a lot of trouble first and see what kind of reputation he can make. Anyway, after you go back this time, you have to do too many things. Xin is very devastated this time, and there are even more troubles in Shiyi, so he can go." Gongsun Changming smiled.

"There is indeed a lot of things to do." Cao Xin said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Gongsun, do you still remember the nearly 100,000 people whom the young master plundered from Dezhou? Now there are almost 30,000 people who have been sent to me by Li Ze."

Gongsun Changming laughed: "Your Yizhou is still stuffed with these 30,000 people?"

"Of course there are places, but the problem is that the people who have been brought back from Texas, all the useful and useful people were intercepted by the young master. The ones sent to me, the old, the young master, the young master, and the strong only account for one-fifth of them, which is basically a burden. Our young master has fierce means, but this is too bullying."

"Please bear it, or your efforts now will be rewarded more in the future." Gongsun Changming patted Cao Xin's back with sympathy, "This young man is very capable, Liang Han is not afraid of it. He was punished by this young man and was obedient. When he heard this person's voice and saw this person's shadow, he immediately retreated."

"It's all a troublesome!" Cao Xin shook his head and sighed.

At the end of June, the war in Shenzhou was completely over. After the troops of Shi Yi and Deng Jingshan were withdrawn to Yingzhou, Deng Jingshan and his troops drove away to Hedong. The Zhenwujie envoy Wang Feng was the most disappointed one this time because his turnaround, except for the full hatred of Chengde. Next, he would face Chengde's military deterrence alone. Although Lu Long left him with three thousand Khitan cavalry led by Yelu Yuan, Wang Feng did not believe much about the combat effectiveness of this Khitan cavalry.

Wang Feng left very quickly and urgently, and he needed to return to his capital Dingzhou immediately to mobilize.

The nearly 100,000 Chengde army gathered in Shenzhou also began to pack their bags and prepare for their return trip. There were 50,000 people in Zhenzhou and 20,000 people in Yizhou. Except for the 7,000 people who were specially selected by Li Anguo, the rest will return to their hometown. For them, this is a good thing.

Li Anguo took his son Li Che's Lingshu to set off first, and then Cao Xin also took Wang Mingren's Lingshu to leave Shenzhou. The once extremely crowded Shenzhou became empty in an instant.

Hu Shier, who had been promoted to the captain of Zhaowu, stood on the top of the city and watched teams of troops leaving. Now he is deeply trusted by Suning, and the defense of the outer city of Shenzhou has been completely entrusted to him. Next, with the 10,000 troops leading by You Yong leaving the city, the entire Shenzhou City is in his hands.

Next, we have to complete the integration of the person in the small notebook sent by the young master. The people on this are not only those who are Chengde, but also those who are Zhenwu, and those who are Lu Long. This is a very huge project that requires Hu Shier to independently complete the screening and confirm that those people have not turned against each other, which one can still be of great use? Who can be fully absorbed, and who can only be regarded as a tool.

In his arms, there was a small bronze medal that the young master had just sent to him, with a striking seal number, twelve.

This is the nameplate of Yixingshe. The young master ranks first, and he ranks twelve.

Hu Shier was very satisfied. This ranking was not only the same as his name, but also showed that he was now ranked 12 under the command of the young master. After carefully considering the people in front of him, Hu Shier was very happy to find that he had truly entered the core circle of the young master's power structure.

This made him very grateful for the decision he made before the Battle of Shenzhou. It was this decision that made his position in Shenzhou rapidly rise and occupied an extremely important position in the young master's circle. Status requires strength to speak. If he is not holding heavy troops in Shenzhou now, his position is crucial. How could this twelve brand be delivered to him?

His former captain Hu Yi heard that he was given the name Li De by the young master, and the card in his arms was eighteen, which made Hu Shier very happy. When the young master entered Zhenzhou openly and became the governor of the army and completed this task, what was it difficult to get the young master's surname?

"Prince Hu, Huang Changshi will hold a banquet at home tonight, and invite the lieutenant to attend the banquet at night!" An official from the Chief Secretary's Mansion hurriedly and bowed. Now Suning has also followed Li Anguo to Zhenzhou to prepare for the funeral of Li Che, but Shenzhou is the Chief Secretary Huang Shang. As an important general in Shenzhou, Hu Shier's status is naturally unquestionable.

It only took Hu Shier half a year to get a man who just came to Shenzhou to now occupying a place in the highest power level in Shenzhou.

With a bang, a cold raindrop fell from the sky and hit Hu Shier's face. Hu Shier turned around and strode down the city tower.

"It's going to rain, and the storm is coming and the wind is filling the building."

"It's really heavy!" At this time, in Wuyi's own mansion, Li Ze stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain like a splattering outside the window, murmured.

"Yes, the rain is so heavy, so scary." Another crisp voice came from beside him. Li Ze turned around and saw a beautiful face like a flower.

That was Liu Ruyan.

Li Ze forcibly appointed Liu Juan as the magistrate of Shiyi County. He originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone. One was to get rid of Liu Chenglin and Zhu Shou, and the other was that Liu Juan took office and would take his family away, so as not to be so embarrassed. But unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang broke his wishful thinking with just one word.

Liu Ruyan was kept by Mrs. Wang and accepted as her goddaughter.

This left Li Ze speechless.

Mrs. Wang’s intentions are so obvious that important people in Li Ze’s circle now know this matter. More importantly, people like Shi Zhuang, Yang Kai, and Tu Lichun actually support this matter one-sidedly.
