In Huichuan City General's Mansion, Li Zhang sat on the chair, frowned, and watched the officers around him busy dealing with various military affairs. Wang Kai was drinking tea leisurely, reminding him from time to time.

If you don’t do things yourself, you can’t understand them. In the past, you didn’t see that you were busy. You just summarized the data counted by the school officials and gave them a preliminary plan to Xu Ping for review. When Li Zhang took over, he realized how complicated this work was. From every team-level battle to the action of the entire army, you must look at it. Important things must be kept in mind. For example, Wang Kai, the Five Army of Qinfeng Road, every commander and deputy commander can call him a name, and you will know who the commander is, where he is now stationed, and what he is doing. When Xu Ping mentioned what military operations he had to do, how many troops he was dispatched, he knew which way to go, how much food and grass he needed, where he needed to start and how much effort he used. Even the general process of military operations, how much time he took, could be estimated in the fastest time like instinct.

How long does it take for Li Zhang to reach Wang Kai? In the recent Huizhou war, Wang Kai was on the side, and he felt that his head was about to explode. Since Xu Ping gave him the matter, he never slept well. At the most urgent time, he would eat and live in the Counselor Military Department every day, and drink water as urgent as putting out a fire.

The war in Huizhou went smoothly. Yuan Hao finally figured it out and no longer invested his troops in the tug-of-war against Xu Ping, but focused on defending the passes of Qu Wuling and managing Tiandu Mountain with all his strength. Huizhou was hanging alone on the terrain, so Xu Ping gave it to him if he wanted to attack. Tens of thousands of troops in Qinzhou gathered there, and sent 10,000 or 20,000 people to go over to get sheep into the tiger's mouth. There were not many truly elite troops in Dangxiang, and one less was lost when he was knocked down. It was the real test until the Song army was attacked in several ways after the autumn.

A general walked quickly to Li Zhang, gave him the letter in his hand, and said, "Jiyi, the battle in Triangle City has been completed, and Xuanwei and Qinrong Army will meet there. This is the initial report of military merits they handed over. After you have a look, you can hand it over to the military merits. They will go down to investigate. The manpower and material things needed to build the city there. Do you think there is anything wrong with it?"

Li Zhang breathed out and took the Wenzhang and said, "Okay, I'll leave it here first, and I'll deal with it later."

The school promised, turned around and left, and continued to handle his own affairs.

Li Zhang put the document in his hand on the desk and said to Wang Kai on the side: "Okay, after Triangle City, the war in Huizhou will be basically over. Now the Qingshuo Army has surrounded Huizhou, and the thieves have not sent anyone to rescue him. Let them conquer the city in the past few days. After building Triangle City, the merits will be fulfilled and Huizhou will be in our hands."

Wang Kai smiled and stood up and bowed: "Congratulations to Yanei, after these busy days, a big battle has finally ended!"

Li Zhang smiled bitterly: "Compared with the last time Sanduchuan fought Yu Zanghuama and Zhuoluo City fought Hao thieves, Huizhou's battle is too small. Even so, if there is no military supervisor from the side to help, I don't know what chaos will be made!"

This job is really not something that ordinary people do. They must be thorough and comprehensive, and do not make mistakes. After training in this position, they may not become an excellent commander, but it is still possible to manage the army in an orderly manner.

The battle in Huizhou was so calm and ended after more than a month. After occupying Huizhou, the Qinfeng Road army stepped forward at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, confronting Dangxiang's Xishou Military Supervisory Office and Tiandu Mountain South Courtyard through Qu Wuling.

One day in early July, Xu Ping said to Li Zhang in the General's Mansion: "Although the battle of Huizhou was not many, and there were no important generals who were killed or captured, it was the first state city that the dynasty captured since the war began, and it was also a great achievement. After two days, all the results of the battle will be clearly calculated, and you will take them to the capital to offer prisoners."

Li Zhang took a deep breath and said that what should come is coming. He asked Xu Ping: "Brother meant that I am going to go back to Beijing?"

"Yes, it's July now. When you bring a group of people back to the capital, it will be late in the month. In the blink of an eye, it will be cooler after autumn. We have tried with the thieves for more than a year, and when we really fight, there will be no accidents. With you in Beijing, I can only let go of my hands and feet when I do things here."

Li Zhang nodded silently. This was a long time ago. Qin Fenglu is different from the Song army before. Now it has truly formed an army of nearly 100,000. The military achievements of the past have also attracted the attention of the court. The environment they face is different from before. Last year, no one believed that Xu Ping could make a big noise on Qin Fenglu. Even if he manages the Hehuang Fan tribe, he would be skeptical. It can make this area stable and not drag other roads back. A year has passed, but Qin Fenglu has made the most military achievements, which is not appropriate.

The change of military system and re-training the army was completely different in the eyes of the officials in the court. At first, Xu Ping said that he would recruit more people and how many troops he had formed, and most officials in the court did not take it seriously. Local commanders reorganized the army, and the noise was much bigger than Xu Ping. He had trained hundreds of thousands of people on Hebei Road before, but that was just a number and could not really fight. Qinzhou was different. They used their military records to prove that the reorganized army could really fight.

People are famous and have many troubles. Now Xu Ping has become the mainstay of the enemy against Dangxiang. Some admire them, some praise them, and some jealous. Three people become tigers, and no one can give the court peace in the capital. It is not easy to be the general of Xu Ping, the frontier.

After a long silence, Li Zhang asked, "Brother, I understand what you mean. But after returning to the capital, what official position you want to take and what you do, can you explain it to me clearly? Our brothers, the more you understand the better you say, I will do what you say after I return to the capital. Don't worry, I have the means to sit in that seat if you ask me to take office."

Xu Ping couldn't help but smile. As long as Li Zhang didn't ask him to go back to become the general of the Third Yai Army, he would of course have a way to get that position. If it really doesn't work, he could really ask Zhao Zhen for it. Can Zhao Zhen still refuse him?

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said: "I think about it. Only by working in the Privy Council is the most convenient. You'd better serve as the deputy governor of the Privy Council or the co-author of the Privy Council. In this way, you can show Qin Fenglu's every move in front of the court. What is most afraid of is to hide things and make people suspicious. We will make what we want to do so that villains have nowhere to do it."

Li Zhang thought for a moment and smiled, "I thought I would have to do something in the third yamen, but that would be a bit difficult. Although the ministry is important, it is not directly commanding the army. I am good or bad now, so why is it difficult to do it? Don't say that the deputy ministers are responsible for the imperial edict, even if they are the chief responsibilities, what can others say!"

Xu Ping hurriedly said, "Don't be a regular person! First, this duty is extraordinary in the Privy Council. It is connected with civil and military affairs. You are from a foreign relative, and if you control this position, it is easy to cause criticism. Second, what you have to do is to bring the Qinzhou military to the court, and it will be inconvenient to be a regular person. Being a deputy and telling the government that you should do this is the most appropriate thing!"

The deputy director was ordered to be granted the title of Li Zhang and his current status were easy to capture. He smiled and agreed.

The Privy Council has gradually transformed into a civil servant office. Even if there are military generals who serve as Privy Councilors, they are still civil servants. Now the true highest military generals in the Western Prefecture are actually responsible for the order, sorting out military information, and in charge of daily affairs, but they are not eye-catching.

What Xu Ping needed Li Zhang to return to the capital was not to expect him to support himself politically. Xu Ping had a group of civil servants who stood on his side to support him. What Li Zhang had to do was to put the military operations and military management of Qin Fenglu in front of Zhao Zhen and the ministers in the court, and know what Xu Ping was doing on Qin Fenglu and how to do it, and don’t make random suspicions.
