In Chang'an City, when the grand marriage between Princess Shiyi and Wuwei Jie Town and General Qianniuwei became very happy, in Yingzhou City, Liu Chenglin's general's mansion was also full of guests.

Because the Yingzhou stationed in Yingzhou was the front line against the enemy Lu Long, Liu Chenglin certainly could not leave his post and go to Chang'an to see him off, but this did not prevent him from holding a banquet in Yingzhou to show his congratulations.

With the merger of Chengde, Henghai and Zhenwu, Li Ze's power was at its peak. As Li Ze's brother-in-law, Liu Chenglin's status naturally increased. On this day, dozens of tables were set up in the mansion, and officials in Yingzhou City and under his rule came to congratulate him.

Under Li Ze's rule, the division of civil and military affairs was implemented. The 5,000 elite troops under Liu Chenglin and the 2,000 Rangers under Li De who were assigned to him were not under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou, but directly under Li Ze. In fact, even Li De was only temporarily assigned to Liu Chenglin. However, all the logistics supplies of this army were jointly raised by Yingzhou and Jingzhou.

Liu Chenglin's military camp was located tens of miles away from Yingzhou. In the city, he only owned a house.

Huang De, the governor of Yingzhou, and Bao Hui, were responsible for the government affairs of the entire Yingzhou, which meant to check and balance Liu Chenglin. The grain and grass raised by the two states were all in the grain warehouses in Yingzhou City, which was enough for the Liu Chenglin tribe for several months, but Yingzhou only provided food and grass for Liu Chenglin tribe every ten days.

In Yingzhou, in addition to Liu Chenglin's garrison, there is also a personal soldier directly under the governor's office, which is commanded by the Chief Bao Hui. The number of this personal soldier is only a few hundred, but the governor has the right to temporarily recruit soldiers from the Chief and the other party to obtain the consent of the Chief and the other party. There are nearly 50,000 people in Yingzhou City. If all the staff are recruited, they can immediately pull up a force of thousands of people.

The city's arsenal and grain warehouses are all available, so we can immediately strengthen these young and strong martial arts. Of course, we won't mention the level of elite force for the time being.

The political reform of Yingzhou was almost at the forefront of the 11 states under Li Ze's rule. The fundamental reason was that Liu Chenglin was Li Ze's brother-in-law. Li Ze deliberately wanted to make Yingzhou a model so that other states could take a good look. Even his brother-in-law could not be captured by the military and political affairs. Who else dared to have such indecent thoughts? Then I can only ask the previous question, do you want to make a ill-gotten plan?

Of course, there is still a small part of Yingzhou now that has not been completely conquered. Yingzhou, which is still in the military control period, has less concern when doing certain things.

No matter who dares to be angry, a word about Lu Long can lead him to the Nine Nether Hell. As for whether you are a traitor, it doesn’t matter. If you are an traitor, you will be in the way and block the way, even if you are not a traitor.

Liu Chenglin was very happy. His only sister finally found the best retreat. Princess Shiyi and the third-rank imperial edict have made her one of the most noble people in the world. He has given up his thoughts.

He held a banquet in Yingzhou City and welcomed visitors from all over the world. Huang De and Bao Hui were also very conscious of the wedding of the generals and gave the army a big finger on the name of the celebration of the whole world. Even under Yingzhou, all those over 60 years old could receive ten cents, two kilograms of meat, and a pot of turbid wine from the local government office.

In fact, not only Yingzhou, but also the eleven states under Li Ze ruled took the same measures almost on the same day. It was quite large to use them, but in fact, except for the military rewards, the rest of the expenditure was not large, because at this time, there were not many elderly people over 60 years old, and even in Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, there were not many places like Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou. If you are over 60 years old, you can definitely call him Ren Rui. Although you want to live more than 100 years old, who said that the average life expectancy of people is so low now?

Whether it is really happy or fake, on this day, even if you pretend to be happy, especially Wuyi and Zhenzhou, there are lights and colors and joyfulness. Li Ze is not here, but the former Chengdejie Magistrate's Mansion in Zhenzhou is full of Hekemen, the former Chengdejie Magistrate, and the current Zhending County Prince Li Anguo looked much harder and happily received one Hekemen after another, with gifts piled up so that there was almost no gap in the treasury in the Jiedu Mansion.

Liu Chenglin was full of red face, holding a wine glass, and Liu Changfeng followed with a wine pot. He walked around the yard outside, even if there was only one cup for a table, when he returned to the hall, Liu Chenglin had drunk a lot. Seeing him entering the main table, everyone on the table in the room stood up.

Those who can sit on the main table have extraordinary identities.

Huang De, the governor of Yingzhou, Bao Hui, were half the masters. Sun Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, who came from Jingzhou, was an old friend of Liu Chenglin. It was not up to be said that Shenzhou, Du Teng, the governor of Shenzhou, rushed over. Speaking of which, he was the most embarrassing person under Li Ze's rule, because in the early days, he was one of the people who planned Li Ze. However, he later saw the form clearly, stopped the cliff and made meritorious contributions, so he was even more eager to flatter Li Ze. Of course, he did not dare to be negligent in people like Liu Chenglin. Others were all military generals, such as Li De, the general commander of the Rangers, Li Rui, and Liu Chenglin's direct subordinate Hou Fangyu, who was also the eldest son of Hou Zhen, the governor of Cangzhou.

"Congratulations to General Liu!" Everyone on the table held their fists to congratulate him.

"Everyone, please sit, please sit." Liu Chenglin sat down on the main seat with a smile, while Liu Changfeng carried the wine pot and poured the wine glasses for everyone one by one.

"Changfeng, you can sit too." Liu Chenglin pointed to the seat opposite.

"General, I'll just stand and pour wine for you." Liu Changfeng smiled. Although he is also a general in command, he has another identity, which is Liu Chenglin's family.

"Today is a happy day for the lady, and it is also a happy day for our Liu family. You are a person who has watched the lady grow up, sit down quickly." Liu Chenglin smiled.

Hou Fangyu, who was on the other side, pulled Liu Changfeng: "Brother Changfeng, if you don't sit down, stand behind and pour wine for me. How can I drink this wine? Please sit down quickly."

After everyone was in his seat, the governor of Yingzhou, Huang De, who had half the master, stood up and raised his glass and said, "Everyone, we must be happy with our wife for this first glass of wine. We will have a happy wedding with our wife. We will be together for a hundred years. We will be together and have a noble son soon."

Everyone burst into a loud voice and raised their glasses together: "Drinking!"

The wine glasses collided crisply.

"The second glass of wine, we are going to toast General Liu." Du Teng stood up with a smile, "I just don't know when General Liu will invite us to have a wedding wine again?"

Everyone laughed loudly, and Liu Chenglin raised his wine glass and said, "Of course, everyone is indispensable. When Zhang Zhongwu is destroyed, I will invite everyone to have a wedding wine."

"So, General Liu already has the one he likes Luo, why don't I know?" Sun Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, asked in a slight slight manner.

"When it's time to get married, it will naturally happen. Nothing can happen without a wife? Come on, everyone, drink!" Liu Chenglin smiled.

After two rounds of drinking, Liu Chenglin put down his wine glass and said, "Everyone, the three towns merged, Duke Li was promoted to Prince Zhending, and we are all promoted to the title. We have today, and we are all thanks to the commander of the ritual. Do you think what I said is reasonable?"

Now Li Ze is the general of Qianniu Guard, the third rank. Liu Chenglin is the most noble military officer, so he is naturally benefited from the glory of Li Ze's brother-in-law. He was promoted to the third rank of Yunhui General by the emperor. During the meal, Li De and Li Rui were awarded the fifth rank of Ranger General and Guerrilla General. Liu Changfeng was also awarded the fifth rank of Guidelang General, Hou Fangyu, and now the sixth rank of Zhaowu Captain.

The civil officials here are all promoted. Although there are not many changes in their positions, the ranks of scattered ranks have climbed a lot. The governor is just a ministry official and may disappear at any time, but the ranks of scattered ranks are lifelong. Although the Tang Dynasty's court is declining, and although the official positions promulgated by the court have greatly reduced their value, they are still very good for improving the reputation of individuals or families.

Just as a general from a military officer to a military officer is a hurdle, and from a school officer to a general is a hurdle.

As for civil officials, the seventh and fifth grades, they are all life and death barriers. I don’t know how many people have been torn to death on these two hurdles.

Even Hou Fangyu is already a captain of the Zhaowu in the sixth rank. I am afraid that after fighting Zhang Zhongwu, he will be able to get a general to do it. Of course, the premise is that he still has to live.

Seeing everyone nodding, Liu Chenglin continued: "Jie Shuai is expected to return to Wuwei Town at the end of June, and Xue Ping's 10,000 Shen Ce Army is also following Jie Shuai. But now, we have not even taken down the entire Yingzhou territory, which is really shameful. You guys, next I will organize a large-scale attack. I must take down those forts that are stubbornly resisting, as a gift to welcome the return of Jie Shuai. What do you think?"

When it comes to serious matters, everyone has become serious.

"General Liu, there are too many elite Lu Long in the troops in those forts. If you attack with force, it is probably not easy." Huang De said cautiously: "However, before Ji Shuai left, he said that the general was the leader of the conquest of Yingzhou. If the general decides to fight, I have nothing to say, so I can only ensure that the logistics is safe."

Bao Hui, who was sitting next to him, nodded repeatedly: "Transporting food and grass is my strength, and I will be responsible for this work at that time."

Du Teng and Sun Zhi looked at each other and said, "If General Liu decides to move, what do we need to do? Just greet us."

"After the spring plowing, you have to move." Liu Chenglin grinned and said, "You two might as well mobilize the soldiers in the territory. First, you should consider defeat before you have won, and you always have to prepare for it first. Second, you just think it is training. After the town, the general of Jie will definitely expand his army and prepare for war. What do you think!"

The two nodded frequently and said yes.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's have another drink together and wish my Wuwei army a success."

"Drinking!" Everyone raised their glasses together.

Liu Chenglin just asked the opinions of several governors. As for Li De and other generals, there was no room for speech.

After three glasses of wine, Liu Chenglin smiled and said, "Next, everyone will fight for their own battles. Brother Sun, Sun Zhi, don't think about peeing, come on, let's fight for three hundred rounds."

The hall suddenly became jubilant.
Chapter completed!
