lady, please calm down

Chapter 293
The eighth day of February.

In the lobby of the former left-behind Siguan Yamen, which had just been renamed Jiedushi Yamen, dozens of generals in armor and helmets gathered together.

The small group they gathered together subconsciously can give a glimpse into the factional context within the Huaibei Army.

The generals are roughly divided into two groups. On one side is the Tongshan faction centered on Peng Er, Wu Kui, and Zhou Liang. Liu Erhu, Liu Siliang, Liu Baishun and others stand with them, but they are vaguely their own faction.

On the other side, there is the original Xiang army headed by Jiang Huaixiong and Jiang Shuquan, surrounded by many subordinates of the original Xiang army such as Qin Dachuan and Xiang Jing.

Shen Tiedan, who was participating in such an occasion for the first time, sat alone on a chair, his eyes slightly lowered, pretending to be uneasy.

Xin Qiji, who had no faction or affiliation, was particularly active. He would go to Tongshan and say a few words, and then wander to the Xiangjun faction to interject a few words.

Xiao Xin is good at both civil and military skills. He talks funny and can cause laughter wherever he goes, making him popular among everyone.

Of course, everyone is in a good mood not just because of Xiao Xin's witty remarks, but also because they know that Brother Chu is opening the house with integrity, and everyone will definitely follow suit.

Progress makes people happy.
Only Guo Taoer, the governor of Yingzhou who had been stranded in Caizhou, looked worried.

Chen Jing'an, who was sitting at the top with his hands hanging down, looked around the hall and couldn't help but sigh.

The people below are at least named Yuhou, or are about to take charge of an army.

But a few years ago, they were still runaways, tenants, or middle- and lower-level generals of the Zhixiang Army who were repeatedly suppressed by Shangguan.

But now, it is as if he has been completely transformed. His every move has the composure and ability of a soldier, but also a hint of confidence and a bit of deliberately hidden unruliness.

Chen Jingan participated in the Huaibei rebellion last year and knew more or less the generals in the hall.

Zhou Liang, for example, was the most valiant and always strived to be the first when charging into battle. However, because he had carried out several "secret" missions, he was also brave and thoughtful.

Peng Er, the oldest among those who escaped from the household, exudes stability and conciseness in everything, whether he is acting or fighting.

And Liu Siliang was the best at ideological work, he was astute and dared to make decisions.

Although Wu Kui and Liu Erhu have no particularly obvious strengths, they are devoted to Chen Chu.
In short, these people have sharpened their skills after several years of experience.

From this, Chen Jingan thought of Emperor Gao, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. With a small Xiaopei County, he became half of the founding princes of the Han Dynasty.

'In a land of ten steps, there must be fragrant grass; in a town of ten houses, there must be loyal men. ' Chen Jingan agrees with this statement.

But when he thought about it, without Liu Bang, Xiao He would most likely have spent his whole life as a minor official in Peixian County. Cao Shen, the butcher Fan Kuai, the silkworm farmer Zhou Bo, and the carer Xia Houying would never have the chance to leave their names in history.

Only when there is a wise master can there be capable ministers.
The back hall of the government office.

Baoxi and Maodan helped Chen Chu put on the silver dragon scale and gold armor, and the former suddenly turned red.

When Mao Dan saw this, he felt sad, but he whispered: "You're crying, it's not like I can't see you anymore."

Chen Chu turned his head, couldn't help but smile, and said, "I'm asking you to go to the Jing'an Army as a general, but I'm not driving you away. Why are you crying?"

Baoxi is [-] out of [-] this year, and he has been appointed as the general of the Jing'an Army at a young age, which is really the envy of many people.

And everyone knows that he is a military commander, and his deployment this time is just the starting point. From now on, he will be very successful.

However, Baoxi's inner feelings are not enough to explain to outsiders that the world in the past few years has been bad. Baoxi, whose parents died since she was a child, has been wandering alone in the area of ​​​​Langshan and Tongshan, working part-time as a part-time worker during the busy farming period to make ends meet.

I couldn't find any time to work, so I did some sneaky things.

It wasn't until Zhou Liang later recruited young men in Qingfengling, Langshan, that he lied about his age and got in.

Subsequently, Baoxi, who was almost a beggar, plunged headlong into a new and magnificent change. He accompanied his boss in a night attack on the Zheng family in Yinma Village in Langshan, defended Xiaoshiling in the defense of Tongshan, and quelled the chaos in Huaibei.
In the bloody battles, Baoxi quickly lost her youth and grew up.

And the life of wandering around since childhood made him pay special attention to the friendship between the two.

Among them, Baoxi has the deepest affection for his boss, who has always lived and ate with them. The first word he and Mao Dan learned was taught to them by Chen Chu in their free time.

Back in Tongshan, when people didn't have to worry about so many things and weren't as busy as they are now, Baoxi's clothes, even shoes and socks were all made by Mao'er for him.

His feelings for Chen Chu and his wife were like that of a brother-in-law and his parents.

Therefore, it is a bit sad to say goodbye soon.

At this time, the three of them walked towards the government office lobby.

There were still more than ten steps away, and you could hear the hustle and bustle in the hall. Baoxi, who was on duty as a soldier on the last day, immediately shouted loudly: "Huaibei Jiedu Envoy, Lu'an Marquis Chen, are here!"

The boy's loud voice cut through the noise and came clearly into the hall.

There was a moment of silence in the lobby, and then there was a sound of "Clang Clang" as people were adjusting their armor.

When Chen Chu entered and stepped onto the low platform, there was no more noise. All the generals were arranged neatly and stood with bare hands.

After a while, dozens of people suddenly shouted in unison, "Congratulations, Sir, on your promotion to Huaibei Festival Commander! I will serve you to the death!"

On the stage, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel shaken and felt in a trance.
No wonder that for thousands of years, countless heroes have been pursuing the peak of power. This feeling is indeed fascinating.

After a few breaths, Chen Chu regained his composure, turned to Chen Jing'an and said, "Sir, please read out the appointment."

"it is good."

Chen Jingan smiled smartly, took the official document and stood up.

Although many of the generals below were aware of his arrangements, they still felt a little uneasy without hearing the appointment letter in person.

Chen Jingan paused deliberately, looked at everyone's eager eyes, and then smiled and said loudly: "On the eighth day of February in the 11th year of Fuchang, Da Qi Huaibei Jiedushi Si Mingzhuang, Yuhou Zhouliang."

"exist!"

"From now on, your troops will be promoted to the army. You will still serve as the army commander. After receiving the new soldiers, you will be stationed in Shouzhou!"

"Order!"

"Yu Hou Peng Er."

"exist!"

".Promoted to the Guards Corps, served as commander, and moved to Caizhou!"

"Order!"

There are four troops promoted to the army this time, namely Peng Er, Wu Kui, Zhou Liang and Liu Erhu.

Among them, Zhou Liang and Liu Erhu's troops were stationed in Shouzhou after filling the ranks of sergeants.

After the change of defense, Peng Er and Wu Kui returned to Caizhou to accept new soldiers and carry out reorganization.

"Yao eldest son."

"I'm here."

"You will be promoted to the commander of the Huai Army."

"Yes!"

"Yang Zhen."

"exist!"

"I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the left-behind Sidu of Shouzhou and assist the local government in developing farming."

"Respect!"

"Jiang Huaixiong."

"exist!"

"You are ordered to be the commander-in-chief and training director of the Caizhou Left-behind Division, responsible for the training of new recruits and the theoretical training of officers."

"Respect!"

"Xiang Jing, Liu Baishun."

"exist."

"You will be promoted to the position of chief and deputy commander of the Armed Guards respectively, stationed in Yingzhou."

"Yes!"

"Liu Siliang."

"exist!"

"You are promoted to deputy commander of the Jing'an Army. You will assist Commander Zhu in leading the army back to Caizhou and complete the expansion and actual establishment of the Jing'an Army within two months."

"Yes!"

The eldest son, second brother Peng and others were originally worried that brother Chu would forget Liu Siliang, but when they heard about the appointment, they couldn't help but feel happy for him.

Liu Siliang himself was a little excited. Even though his mother-in-law gave him some guidance last night, he still didn't want to miss out on promotion.

Compared to the generals who were filled with joy, Guo Tao'er, the commander of the left-behind capital of Yingzhou, couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

Chen Chu became the commander-in-chief, and the Anshun army under his control became more justified.

Since the beginning of the suppression of the bandits last year, the Anshun army was taken away from Yingzhou by Chen Chu. Now, half a year after leaving home, Chen Chu still has no intention of letting them go back.

Moreover, the Jing'an Army stationed in Yingzhou was replaced by the Wuwei Army.
Anyone who understands the situation in Caizhou will know that the Wuwei Army is the direct descendant of Chen Chu, second only to the Zhenhuai Army, and has a full strength of [-] soldiers.

In addition, Chen Chu also supported Xin Qiji's Flying Tiger Army in Yingzhou. Now even if Guo Tao'er's Anshun Army is sent back, there is no advantage at all.

Even though he knew that Chen Chu wanted to govern Yingzhou in name and in fact, Guo Taoer couldn't think of any resistance.

Resistance is a joke. Nowadays, the Fourth Army has been established under the Huaibei Jiefu. Together with the original Zhenhuai, Wuwei, Ningjiang, and Xiaoxin's Feihu, there are a total of more than [-] troops.
This power is enough to stir up the situation in the world, but the Anshun Army is a Xiang army with only half of its actual strength. Why resist with a bird?
Thinking of this, Guo Tao'er, who had been standing in the crowd trying to be transparent, glanced at Zhu Da subconsciously.There is a huge gap between the Xiang armies in the world. Guo Taoer understands the significance of the Jingan Army to Zhu Da. But this time, Lu Anhou first assigned a deputy commander to the Jingan Army and ordered the Jingan Army to return to Cai for reorganization. , but Zhu Da smiled and had no objection.

Could it be that there was some kind of deal between them?
Above, Chen Jingan has almost read out the appointment.

Almost all the generals under Setfu were involved.

People like Peng Er, Changzi and others were directly promoted from the Ying Zheng Company to commanders. Bai Maoshu was promoted from the team general to the Scout Battalion Ying Zheng, and Pang Shengyi was promoted from the team general to the Majun Ying Zheng.

The other generals have also been promoted at least one level.

The large-scale promotion can be regarded as the reward for everyone's hard work to defeat the thieves last year.

Just when everyone thought the reading was completed, Chen Jingan looked at the last appointment letter and couldn't help but be slightly shocked, and turned to look at Chen Chu.

Because the last item was written by Chen Chu alone.

Chen Chu smiled and nodded to Chen Jing'an. The latter was convinced and couldn't help but look down with a strange look and said, "Shen Tietan."

"."

There was a sudden silence below, but no one responded.

"Shen Tietan?"

"."

Pang Shengyi, who was not far away from Tie Dan, quickly nudged Tie Dan, who was stunned, with his elbow. Only then did the latter react and hurriedly responded: "Yes, I'm here."

"Shen Tietan was promoted to the post of Zheng Yuhou in the Jiefang personal camp"

As soon as Chen Jingan finished speaking, there was a sudden buzz in the hall.

The discussion was far more lively than any previous appointment.

Tie Dan raised his head in confusion, only to see eyes from all directions looking towards him. His face turned red suddenly and he lowered his head in panic.

Can a woman be a general?

Those who know Tie Dan's strength feel that there is no problem with this appointment.

Those who don't know her strength can't help but secretly speculate whether there is some PY transaction involved.

The eldest son and Yang Dalang were really happy for Tiedan, and couldn't help but smile and squeeze through the crowd.

"Tie Dan, you are also an official, hey, you still took over my job! I said, Brother Chu can see what you are capable of!"

The eldest son congratulated happily.

Yang Dalang was so happy that he habitually raised his hand to pat Tie Dan on the shoulder to show his encouragement to his brother.

Unexpectedly, Tie Dan, who had his head lowered, caught a glimpse of his movements from the corner of his eye, and immediately ducked and avoided Dalang's hand.

Dalang's hands froze in the air, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Hey!" The eldest son glanced at Tie Dan strangely. In the past, he had done this kind of action to show closeness to brothers, but Tie Dan would never avoid it. What happened today?

The eldest son couldn't help but wonder: "Tie Dan, what's wrong with you?"

Tiedan himself didn't know why he suddenly dodged away, but he glanced at Chen Chu who was looking up at him. Then he quickly looked away like a frightened deer and explained to the two brothers casually: "There are differences between men and women."

"Hahahaha." Yang Dalang laughed so hard that even his eldest son touched his head inexplicably. When did Brother Tiedan become such a bitch?
Pang Shengyi, who was standing nearby, laughed a few times, then suddenly said sadly: "Hey! We have grown up and finally know that we are a girl! If Brother Shen knows, he will be happy."

On that day, the Jiedushi Yamen held a banquet, and many brothers who came from all over the country to gather in Caizhou had a great time.

The people here are all well-known figures outside the Jiedushi Yamen, and each of them is in charge of his own affairs. The chances of gathering together like this will probably become less and less in the future.

This drinking session lasted from afternoon to night.

At midnight, Chen Chu pretended to be drunk to escape the drunkenness of his brothers and returned to Sajin Alley early.

The spring night breeze is lingering and sultry.

On his way to Hanchun Hall, Chen Chu was stopped by Ru'er in the corridor.

"Master Marquis, Miss Sanniang has something important to discuss with you." Ru'er suddenly flashed her innocent eyes and emphasized the word 'important matter'.

Tonight, I was supposed to go to Cat's place.
It was still early, and thinking that Cai Hua might really have something to do, Chen Chu transferred to Qingpu Garden.

It is now February, and although there is still some coolness in the night, the midwinter chill is long gone.

Earth dragons have stopped burning in Hanchun Hall and Wangxiang Garden in the back house of the Hou Mansion. Only Qingpu Garden, where Cai Hua, who is afraid of the cold, lives, still has earth dragons burning.

In the bedroom on the first floor, the plum blossoms in the flower bag are in full bloom.

The room was warm, and Cai Hua was wearing only a scarlet gauze, and underneath was a set of black Aolai underwear.

Her plump and bumpy figure was clearly visible, and there were two small rubies hanging on the bow tie of her underwear on her crotch. As she twisted her waist seemingly unintentionally, the bow trembled.
I don't know whether it was because of the high temperature in the room or something else, but Chen Chu just felt his mouth was dry.

Cai Hua clearly knew that Chen Chu had entered the room, but she pretended not to know and continued to write at her desk, occasionally biting the end of the brush with her teeth and frowning in thought for a moment.

She didn't even notice that the tulle shirt slipped from her shoulders.

White jade texture, black silk shoulder straps.

The color contrast is strong and makes people's blood rush.

"Ahem, Hua'er?"

Chen Chu coughed and looked away. He couldn't fall for this beautiful snake!Mao'er is still waiting for him in Hanchundang!
"Hey, when did Chulang come?" Cai Hua raised her head and gently pulled up the gauze garment that had fallen off her shoulders with her slender fingers, covering her shoulders that were 'accidentally' exposed.

It was obviously very natural and without any frivolous movements, but there was an indescribable charm and sultryness about it.

"Ru'er said something happened to you?" Chen Chu felt that he couldn't hold on any longer and hurriedly got down to business.

"Oh, you see, look at the list of women invited to the luggage exhibition tomorrow."

Cai Hua handed over a piece of paper, but Chen Chu smiled and didn't accept it, "You can just discuss this with Mao'er. There's no need to ask me."

Seeing this, Cai Hua pursed her lips and smiled, and no longer dwelled on the matter. Instead, she stood up and naturally took Chen Chu's arm. She walked to the bed and said, "Chu Lang, you have made love with that girl Mei Yao." Ci, can this be the end of it?”

Chen Chu couldn't help but laugh, looked at Cai Hua's charming fox eyes, and said, "What's wrong? Is it possible that Hua'er still wants me to take her home?"

"Of course it's not possible to take her home." Cai Hua chuckled, pushed Chen Chu to the edge of the bed and sat down, straddling the latter's legs, and continued: "She is somewhat famous in Tokyo, quite a lot. Young Master is vying to be her guest, and Churou has a friendship with her, so why not take her into the military command and do our detailed work in Tokyo, and we will definitely get a lot of useful information."

"."

This sounded good at first, but when I thought about it more carefully, I felt it was not that good. Chen Chu smiled and shook his head, "Forget it."

As if she was mentally prepared for Chen Chu's rejection, Cai Hua stopped trying to persuade her and just curled her lips and said, "It's up to you."

While talking, Cai Hua took Chen Chu's hand and put it on her waist, and then put her hands around Chen Chu's neck.

The sitting posture of the two people. Chen Chu knew that if he didn't leave, he really wouldn't be able to leave.

"Hua'er, there is still a door over there at Hanchundang."

Chen Chu patted Cai Hua's lower back and signaled the latter to stand up, but Cai Hua rolled her eyes at Chen Chu charmingly and said with a sweet smile: "Well, you close your eyes first, I will give you something and then let you go. "

"Oh?"

Chen Chu smiled and closed his eyes, wanting to see what tricks the beautiful snake was playing. Then he felt Cai Hua pull his hand, and there was a cold chill on his wrist, and then he heard a click.

"."

At the end of Haishi.

In the spring-filled bedroom, there is a faint aura of decadence.

Her hair was spread out on the brocade quilt, and Cai Hua was lying naked on the big bed, looking a little strange.

"What kind of technique are you practicing again?" Chen Chu asked curiously while lying on the bed.

Cai Hua lazily pulled the gauze garment over her chest and said lazily, "This is what I asked the Queen's doctor for. It's good for pregnancy."

Cai Hua will turn 25 this summer. At the moment, she is definitely considered a late mother.

The candlelight in the room was dim, reflecting a halo of misty light on Cai Hua's legs, creating a delicate texture similar to porcelain jade.

The rounded toe caps were dyed red with impatiens.

Impatiens flower, also known as Xiaodaohong, can be mashed and mixed with alum to color nails.

For thousands of years, Chinese women who love beauty have been decorating their hands and toes with this object.

Maybe she noticed that Chen Chu had been looking at her. Cai Hua reached out and touched her thigh, and said with a sweet smile: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good, but I don't have any hair on my legs. What a pity!"

"., ugh! Puppy, you are so perverted!"

"Am I a pervert? Even more perverted than when you handcuffed me?"

"Hehe, it's not like one family doesn't enter the same house."

"Haha. Uh, what are you doing?"

"I want a doll!"
