Chapter 581 Emperor Yanping Achieves Multiple Goals with One Move

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. Your Majesty must give me some face. If you leave Chongshan Town, His Majesty will definitely let Mingzhi take charge of Chongshan Town in order to appease me, otherwise the balance of Chongshan Town will be broken!"

Under the balance technique of Emperor Yanping, Zhou Lan is currently the most suitable person for the general of Chongshan Town.

If Yang Mingzhi is still the general, Chongshan Town will really become the territory of the Yang family.

But if another general is arranged to contain the Yang family, the close relationship between the Yang family and the court will be broken, not to mention other people, Yang Zhengshan will be dissatisfied.

So as long as Emperor Yanping is not old and confused, he will not transfer Zhou Lan.

Yang Zhengshan said again: "You can stay in Chongshan Town with peace of mind. As for Zhang Zhecheng, if he knows what's good for you, let him stay in Chongshan Town. If he doesn't know what's good for you, let him leave!"

Zhou Lan nodded, which was considered to be an approval of Yang Zhengshan's idea.

However, Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan both guessed the Emperor Yanping's mind wrongly. The Emperor Yanping liked to play the art of balance, and he was proud of it.

In his opinion, as long as the officialdom of various places formed a balance, there would not be too many mistakes.

But now there are mistakes in Beiyuan Town.

Beiyuan Town suffered heavy losses, and countless military households and civilians died under the butcher knife of the Wuliang Hu cavalry.

Moreover, the town standard camp of Beiyuan Town was basically wiped out in Linyuan City. There were less than 40,000 remnants of the 100,000 town standard camps, and the eight-way lieutenant generals' reinforcement camp also suffered losses.

Five of the eight-way lieutenant generals died, and only three ran faster and saved their lives.

However, the lives of these three people will not be saved for long, and their families will be involved.

Now Beiyuan Town can be said to have been abolished. Fortunately, Yang Zhengshan attacked Yemi City by surprise, otherwise Wu Tuo could really occupy Beiyuan Town.

Next, Emperor Yanping and the court faced not how to balance the officialdom of Beiyuan Town, but how to rebuild Beiyuan Town.

Beiyuan Town needs to be rebuilt, from top to bottom.

From the General's Mansion to every guard post, every fort, all need to be rebuilt.

So how to rebuild Beiyuan Town?

Emperor Yanping's method is simple, but also very wise.

On the eighth day of July, the court issued a transfer order.

Zhou Lan was promoted to the right commander of the Left Army Commander's Mansion, and was granted the title of Upper Guard, serving as the general of Beiyuan Town.

Yang Mingzhi was promoted to the deputy governor, and was named the general of the state, and served as the deputy general of Beiyuan Town.

Song Dashan, Yang Mingzhen, Yang Chengxu, and Yang Chengze were promoted to the deputy commanders, and were granted the title of Zhaowu General, serving as the four lieutenant generals of Beiyuan Town.

Tang Feihu was promoted to the general of Chongshan Town, Niu Zhuang was promoted to the deputy general of Chongshan Town, and Yang Minghao was promoted to the lieutenant general of Fuzhou Guard in the north, and so on.

As a result, most of the high-level people in Chongshan Town were promoted.

But the original Chongshan Town was divided into two parts, and most of the Yang family members were transferred to Beiyuan Town.

After the transfer, only Yang Minghao and Yang Mingwu, two Yang family members, were left in the high-level positions in Chongshan Town. Of course, there were many Yang family members in the middle and lower levels.

Seeing such a result, Yang Zhengshan was also speechless.

Emperor Yanping played this hand very beautifully, which can be said to kill several birds with one stone.

First, transferring Zhou Lan and the Yang family to Beiyuan Town is indeed conducive to the reconstruction of Beiyuan Town.

Second, Zhou Lan and the Yang family have no foundation in Beiyuan Town. Even if they are in charge of Beiyuan Town, it is impossible to run Beiyuan Town into an iron plate in a short time.

Third, the situation of the Yang family's dominance in Chongshan Town has been resolved. Although the Yang family is still deeply rooted in Chongshan Town, the influence of the Yang family on the high-level of Chongshan Town has been greatly reduced.

Fourth, Yang Zhengshan cannot be dissatisfied with this, because everyone has been promoted and has been given important positions. If Yang Zhengshan is dissatisfied, it will seem that he does not know what is good for him.

Yang Zhengshan has to sigh at the wisdom of Emperor Yanping.

This move made him very convinced.

But Emperor Yanping is not afraid of ruining Chongshan Town?

Tang Feihu's ability and qualifications are not a problem, but he lacks prestige in Chongshan Town. His prestige is far less than that of Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan, and even less than that of Yang Mingzhi.

Without sufficient prestige, how can he control Chongshan Town?

What's more, there is a governor Zhang Zhecheng above him.

If Zhang Zhecheng messes around in Chongshan Town, Tang Feihu can't stop it at all.

The lack of the power of the Yang family at the top level has indeed limited the situation of the Yang family's dominance, but it also limits the Yang family's maintenance of Chongshan Town.

Without the maintenance of the Yang family, can Chongshan Town still develop steadily?

Yang Zhengshan is a little worried about this.

In the hall of the general's mansion, all the officials looked at each other after reading the documents from the cabinet and the Ministry of War.

Yang Zhengshan still sat in the main seat, his eyes swept over the people in the hall.

Zhou Lan, Tang Feihu, Niu Zhuang, Yang Mingzhi, Song Dashan, Yang Mingzhen, Yang Chengze, Yang Chengxu, Yang Minghao, etc.

Among them, Niu Zhuang is Zhou Lan's man, Tang Feihu is a faction of his own, and Zhang Chengzhi and Qin He are also independent factions.

Although the Yang family did not exclude outsiders in Chongshan Town, in fact, the core of Chongshan Town has always been in the hands of Zhou Lan and the Yang family.

Whether it is Tang Feihu, Zhang Chengzhi or Qin He, they can only circle their own territory.

But the situation changed later. Tang Feihu was the general, and he would definitely support his own strength. Although he had no grudges with the Yang family, he certainly could not be as close to the Yang family as Zhou Lan.

Everyone was silent, waiting for Yang Zhengshan to speak, while Yang Zhengshan leaned back in his chair, tapping the armrests. After a long while, he said, "Chengye!"

Yang Chengye, who was standing behind him in a daze, was slightly shocked and hurried forward, "Grandson is here!"

"You will stay in Chongshan Town in the future, and serve as a captain in the town's standard camp first!" Yang Zhengshan looked at Yang Chengye with admiration.

Now Yang Chengye is 23 years old, and his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the acquired realm. His cultivation aptitude is absolutely amazing.

If nothing unexpected happens, within ten years, Yang Chengye's cultivation will definitely reach the ninth level of the acquired realm, and there is a great chance that he will enter the threshold of the innate realm before the age of 40.

In addition to his own cultivation, Yang Chengye has a calm personality and a clear mind. Although he is not extremely smart, he can be regarded as both wise and brave.

Yang Chengye has gone to war with Yang Zhengshan twice. Now he went to the sea to conquer Xingyuemen, and then ran 4,000 miles to attack Yemi City from afar. He performed very well.

Yang Zhengshan was very satisfied with this. He felt that the successor he cultivated was very much in line with his own wishes, and was more in line with his wishes than the three brothers Yang Mingcheng.

Yang Mingcheng is too honest, Yang Mingzhi is smart but not wise enough, and likes to use some tricks too much. Yang Minghao is a little wise, open-minded and clear-headed, but not calm enough, and sometimes too reckless.

In comparison, Yang Chengye is very good, stable, clear-minded, without the shortcomings of his father and his two uncles.

Of course, Yang Chengye also has shortcomings. Being stable means that he is not aggressive enough. He can maintain the status quo, but he seems a little weak in opening up.

"Yes!" Yang Chengye agreed without hesitation.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, looked at Tang Feihu, and smiled: "Brother Tang, I will have to trouble you to take care of my grandson in the future!"

Tang Feihu smiled, "Don't worry, my young master will be safe and worry-free in Chongshan Town!"

Yang Zhengshan laughed, "With Brother Tang's words, I feel relieved!"

The word "young master" has explained everything.

Yang Zhengshan kept Yang Chengye in Chongshan Town because he didn't want the foundation of the Yang family in Chongshan Town to be scattered. In fact, Yang Minghao could do this in Chongshan Town, but Yang Minghao would be the lieutenant general of Fuzhou Guard in the future, far away from Chongshan Pass, so it would be difficult for him to influence the decision of the high-level officials in Chongshan Town.

Although Yang Chengye was young and had a low official position, he was the eldest grandson of the Yang family and the future heir of Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

He could represent Jing'an Marquis Mansion better than Yang Minghao.

As long as he was in Chongshan Pass, the children of the Yang family in Chongshan Pass would have a backbone.

Tang Feihu obviously understood this, which seemed to limit his power. After all, no one wanted to see a lot of subordinates under his command who were not under his control.

However, Tang Feihu understood that without the support of the Yang family, he could not control Chongshan Town.

In the future, he had only two choices, one was to get close to the Yang family and use the power of the Yang family to control Chongshan Town, and the other was to get close to Zhang Zhecheng. The two of them, one governor and one general, would join forces to suppress the power of the Yang family in Chongshan Town.

Tang Feihu has made a choice, he chose to be close to the Yang family.

After all, he has an old friendship with Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan. When Zhou Lan was the guerrilla general in Zhenbiao Camp, he was also the guerrilla general of Zhenbiao Camp. Now he has taken over Zhou Lan's position as the general. As long as Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan support him, he can be stable in Chongshan Town.

On the contrary, if he joins hands with Zhang Zhecheng, he will stand on the opposite side of Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan. At that time, Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan may drive him and Zhang Zhecheng out of Chongshan Town together.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Don't think that Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan can't do it. The Yang family is deeply rooted in Chongshan Town.

What does deep-rooted mean?

From Zhenbiao Camp to various reinforcement camps, to garrison camps and guards in various places, the figures of Yang's children can be seen everywhere.

Although the official positions of these Yang family members are not high, they constitute the basic base of Chongshan Town.

If you want to drive the Yang family out of Chongshan Town, it may be more troublesome than rebuilding Beiyuan Town.

So Tang Feihu chose to stand on the side of the Yang family without any hesitation.

Zhou Lan also smiled at Tang Feihu, and Tang Feihu returned a very relaxed smile.

Yang Zhengshan looked at Luo Feiyu again and said, "Feiyu, you will serve as the East Road Lieutenant General in the future! Brother Zhang, you will be wronged and exchange with Feiyu!"

Zhang Chengzhi was stunned. He didn't expect that there was something for him here. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The general will obey the order of the marquis!"

He actually didn't have much choice. Unlike Tang Feihu and Niuzhuang, Tang Feihu was born in the Nancheng Earl's Mansion. He was the brother of the current Nancheng Earl Tang Feilong. In the final analysis, Tang Feihu was also a nobleman.

Niu Zhuang, like Zhao Yuan, was a son of a noble family. Although the noble power behind him was not strong, he at least had some support.

There was also Qin He. Qin He was not from a noble family, but he was a descendant of a general. His ancestors had served in the frontier army for three generations, and his grandfather had served as a lieutenant general in the southern road of Chongshan Town thirty years ago.

The reason why Ji He recommended Qin He was because Qin He's grandfather had helped Ji He.

Compared with them, Zhang Chengzhi was a person who climbed up from the bottom. He was born in an ordinary military household, and his father was just a small flag.

Of course, he was able to climb up not without help, Wang Bin was his greatest benefactor.

It was because of Wang Bin's help that he was able to rise step by step and achieve success in martial arts.

Now Wang Bin can no longer help him, and he can only count on Yang Zhengshan.

So he would not and dared not have any objection to Yang Zhengshan's arrangement.

It was just a change of place, and he was still a lieutenant general, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

The reason why Yang Zhengshan transferred Luo Feiyu to the East Road was that he hoped that he could take care of the Tianqing Sword Sect in the East Road.

Yang Zhengshan looked at everyone and asked, "If you have any questions, you can tell me, maybe I can help!"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that there was nothing to do.

"Since there is nothing to do, let General Tang take charge of the affairs of Chongshan Town!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled at Tang Feihu and said.

Tang Feihu quickly stood up, "Your Majesty can take charge, I still need your advice on many things!"

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand and left the main seat, "Everything in Chongshan Town will be the same as before. As for other things, we must not relax our defense against the Wulianghu tribe. Although the Wulianghu tribe is now in turmoil, you cannot ignore their threats."

As he said, he walked to Zhou Lan and sat down, giving the main seat to Tang Feihu.

Since the court has ordered Tang Feihu to be promoted to the general, he was dismissed as the temporary general.

This will be Tang Feihu's home court from now on.

Tang Feihu reluctantly sat on the main seat. He didn't say much, but just implemented Yang Zhengshan's arrangement.

Then everyone dispersed.

In the evening, Tang Feihu set up a banquet in the best restaurant in the city and invited everyone to the banquet.

Yang Zhengshan naturally would not give him face and took Yang Chengye to the banquet.

A banquet that looks ordinary, but it is of extraordinary significance.

Yang Zhengshan's personal attendance at the banquet has already shown his attitude.

And many officials from all levels of government offices in Chongshanguan also came to the banquet, which also showed their attitude.

Zhang Zhecheng also attended the banquet.

At the banquet, Zhang Zhecheng toasted with Yang Zhengshan with a smile as if bathed in spring breeze.

"I congratulate you on your military exploits. Haha, I heard that you traveled 4,000 miles and attacked Wuliang King City by surprise, burning it down!" Zhang Zhecheng flattered Yang Zhengshan.

This matter has spread, including the news that Yang Mingzhen and Yang Chengze swept dozens of tribes in the heart of Wuliang King Court.

Beiyuan Town was defeated and Chongshan Town won. Although Chongshan Town did not support Beiyuan Town, the Wuliang army retreated because of the capture of Yemi City. This result silenced the officials in the court who had been impeaching Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan raised his glass and clinked it with him, laughing: "Master Zhang, my nephews and nieces will need you to take care of them in the future!"

"That's right, haha, please, Master, I'll drink first!" Zhang Zhecheng raised his glass.

The two chatted for a long time, saying all kinds of meaningless polite words.

At the banquet, everyone was toasting and drinking.

Yang Zhengshan, Zhang Zhecheng, Zhou Lan, Tang Feihu, Niu Zhuang, Yang Mingzhi, Song Ying, Ning Qinghe and Zhang Cong sat at a table and talked and laughed, in a harmonious atmosphere.

But everyone understood that there was only one outsider here, and that was Zhang Zhecheng.

There was no need to say much about the others. Song Ying, Ning Qinghe and Zhang Cong were also old people in Chongshan Town. When they faced Zhang Zhecheng, they would naturally move closer to Tang Feihu and the Yang family.

And judging from Tang Feihu's intention, he seemed to want to undermine Zhang Zhecheng.

In this regard, Yang Zhengshan did not say much. Tang Feihu was not a simple white man. As long as Tang Feihu was loyal to the Yang family, Yang Zhengshan did not need to worry about other things.
