Chapter 700: The Young Phoenix’s Cry Shakes the World (3)

Gao Yuan's idea of ​​returning to Jishi City to spend the New Year with his wife and son on the hot bed was completely ruined. After adjusting a series of layouts of the Hetao, he calculated the time and if he set off, he would have to spend the New Year half way. He simply So I decided to celebrate the New Year in Hetao, to have fun with the soldiers and the people. Of course, I will not spend the New Year in Pioneer City, but in Dayan City, the political and economic center that Gao Yuan decided to rule in the Hetao in the future.

Sun Xiao's Northern Field Army Headquarters is also stationed here. Suddenly, generals gathered in Dayan City, and the Hetao was completely in the hands of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. They were not afraid of any more tricks played by the Donghu people.

After three days of excitement, the officers of various armies and horses set off on their way home one after another. Just as Gao Yuan said, they have just completed the first step of the long march of thousands of miles. There are still many days to come. In this New Year, strictly speaking Peng, Xu Yuan, Luo Weiran, Chen Bin, including Ning Xin, and other senior generals heard Gao Yuan's grand plan for the first time. They were shocked, but at the same time excited. When a man is alive, he will live up to the storm and live up to his birth in this world. Once.

A man should be a hero, and even when he dies, he will be a hero. Whenever he thinks of Gao Yuan's heroic words when he raised his wine glass to toast everyone, everyone's hearts are shaken.

What made them even more excited was that Gao Yuan confessed his ambition to dominate the world to them without any scruples. This was something he would only reveal if he truly regarded them as his confidants, and this was exactly what they wanted. What matters most.

After the third day of the Lunar New Year, most of the generals had left, and only a few Chen Bin were left in Dayan City. Chen Bin stayed mainly to wait for the latest batch of ordnance shipped from Jishi City. Gao Yuan It has been agreed that this batch of ordnance will be assembled on them first, because they are on the front line against the enemy Donghu, and Chen Bin will escort this batch of ordnance to Tengger.

"Hetao, I'm going to turn it into two counties. One is Dayan County, and the other is called Hetao County." Sitting in front of the warm brazier, Gao Yuan stretched out his hands to warm himself while tilting his head to face Sun Xiao beside him. said. He, Sun Xiao, was the only one left in the room, and the other one was Ning Xin.

"I plan to set up the Eastern Protectorate here to take charge of Dayan County and Hetao County, and at the same time supervise the Northern Group Army's expedition against Donghu. After taking Donghu, I will establish Liaodong County, which will also be under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Protectorate. This will serve as my base camp for conquering the world."

"Is the power of the Eastern Protectorate too much?" Ning Xin whispered to the side: "The territory under its jurisdiction is almost larger than the entire Yan Kingdom."

"So, I want an absolutely loyal person to take charge of the Eastern Protectorate." Gao Yuan looked at Sun Xiao. "Sun Xiao, are you willing to take up the post of Protector of the Eastern Protectorate?"

Sun Xiao trembled. Gao Yuan had just said that he wanted an absolutely loyal person to hold this position, and then he named him. It was obvious that he had absolute trust in him.

"The governor trusts,

Sun Xiaowan refused to give up. "

"You will never give up. Don't say unlucky words during the Chinese New Year." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "If Lian'er knew about it, he would definitely disobey him. Sun Xiao, the two of us are friends of the poor and the lowly. We have been together all this time. Come on, you, Lao Cao, and those old brothers are all the people I trust most. If you can take on this position, I will be able to conquer the front line with all my heart. As Ning Xin said, what you govern is The territory is vast and is the rear area of ​​our army. In the future, it will become our granary, arsenal and strategic rear area. Within two years, I will immigrate 200,000 people to Hetao. I have already given this number to Chiang in my letter. They have made it very clear. I don’t care whether they are deceiving or abducting or coming up with other methods. Within two years, I want the number of Dingkou in your Dongduhu Mansion to reach this number, plus the Huns. People, the number of people in the Donghu area that will be conquered in the future, and the entire Dongduhu Prefecture will reach millions. "

"The territory is so large and the requirements of the Commander-in-Chief are so high. The affairs of the Protectorate are bound to be extremely complicated. Commander Sun also serves as the commander of the Northern Field Army. Commander, I'm afraid you are trying to force someone to do something difficult. No matter how young and strong Commander Sun is, No matter how hard you work, I'm afraid it won't be enough. Just conquering Donghu is already an arduous task, not to mention such complicated civil affairs." Ning Xin shook her head.

Sun Xiao was slightly startled and turned to look at Ning Xin for a while. Looking at the slight curve of the corner of her mouth, she suddenly realized something in her heart. She turned her head and looked at Gao Yuan, "Captain, Vice President Ning is right. I have put all my energy into this, but my abilities are limited. I am afraid that I will be careless about my head and feet and make mistakes in both directions. Since my subordinate has taken up the post of Eastern Protectorate, then for the post of commander of the Northern Field Army, I will ask the governor to appoint another person. I Just focus on running the business of the Governor, and you will definitely live up to the Governor's expectations."

Gao Yuan groaned: "You have always been in the army, and you will no longer be in charge of the army. Are you used to it?"

Sun Xiao smiled and said: "Actually, I have long wanted to resign from the position of commander. I am favored by the Commander-in-Chief, who has entrusted me with important responsibilities for so many years. However, my family knows their own affairs. When there were few people in command, I still I don’t think it’s anything. Now I suddenly have to command a large regiment of tens of thousands of people. I don’t have the strength to do what I want. I’m afraid every day that I’ll miss the governor’s important event. Commander, look, I have a lot more gray hair on my head. This is all It was left after coming to Loop.”

Hearing Sun Xiao's humorous words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "I really have a lot more gray hairs."

"Like this battle in the Hetao, if the governor hadn't come here in person, I really don't have confidence that I would have gotten anywhere. It was this battle that made me thoroughly see where the limits of my abilities were. I I have long wanted to offload this burden, but I was afraid that the governor would scold me because I didn’t want to take responsibility, so I kept putting it off. Now that I have just got it right, it’s not too late for me to be happy!” Sun Xiao continued.

"It's OK. This Eastern Protectorate will become my rear base camp in the future. It's true that there are many things to do. It doesn't matter that you have taken a military position, but who do you think is suitable for this position besides you?" Gao Yuan asked.

"If the governor decides to promote people in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, there will actually be very few candidates, except for Xu Yuan and Yan Peng. Both of them have their own strengths, and in terms of military strategy, they are almost the same."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Did you mean to support Xu Yuan?"

Sun Xiao chuckled, "A little bit of careful thinking can't hide it from the Governor's fiery eyes. Xu Yuan is an old brother after all. We have been together since the Battle of Yuyang. In this battle, although the brilliance is not as bright as that of Yan Peng , but I feel more at ease. In the future, when I deal with him in Donghuhu Mansion, my cooperation will be more tacit. Of course, this is just my suggestion. "

"In terms of strategic vision and tactical application, I think Luo Weiran is more suitable." Gao Yuan shook his head, "But where are his qualifications, it is impossible to surpass Yan Peng and Xu Yuan."

"The governor is right. If it is really Luo Weiran, the Northern Army Group will probably be in chaos. Neither Yan Peng nor Xu Yuan will follow Luo Weiran's leadership." Although he knew that Gao Yuan admired Luo Weiran, Sun Xiao Xiao never expected that Gao Yuan would still have this idea, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Commander, I also think Xu Yuan is more suitable." Ning Xin suddenly said from the side: "Yan Peng's father, Yan Yizheng, is in the center. If Yan Peng is in charge of a group army alone, his power will be too great, and he needs to be suppressed. ”

Gao Yuan nodded, "In that case, Xu Yuan will be appointed as the commander of the group army, and Luo Weiran will be transferred to the first army as the commander. Xu Yuan's army is not inferior to Yan Peng, and his qualifications are also older. If he is promoted to this position, Yan Peng should have nothing to say. , of course, there is some dissatisfaction in his heart, but he single-handedly promoted Luo Weiran. Luo Weiran became the commander of the First Army. For him, it is also a comfort. In the future, there may be no conflicts between the two of them. Young Master, you, the Protector, have to mediate between them. If official duties are missed due to a dispute of temper, then I will take their heads."

"Save this subordinate!" Sun Xiao nodded.

"Xu Yuan's nature is domineering, and Yan Peng's secret is hidden in his skin. However, both of them respect you as an old boss. It's a great credit to you that you can make them work together." Gao Yuan said. "Luo Weiran is a person who can be used well." , can also be a buffer between the two of them."

"My subordinates will remember it."

"It's good that you know about this appointment. Don't leak it out yet. However, you can put up the airs of your Eastern Protector's Office first. After I go back and discuss it with Mr. Jiang and the others, the document will be formally drafted and it will be announced from Jishi City. We will send some manpower over here. The first batch of the crash course at Jishicheng University will graduate in the next year. At that time, we will send you some newcomers like this. The newcomers have no experience, but they are easy to train and have strong enterprising spirit. You don't have the slickness of the old officials. This is a newly established government office, and I don't want to become the same old government office." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"That's great!" Sun Xiao said excitedly: "Not to mention anything else, it's just that there are too few people here who are educated and literate, and it would be difficult to split one into two. The governor has solved a big trouble for me."

Ning Xin smiled and said to Sun Xiao: "First of all, congratulations to Commander Sun. The Overwatch Council will also set up a branch here. My daughter will also serve as the first supervisor here. I will ask Protector Sun to take care of me in the future."

Looking at the smiling Ning Xin, Sun Xiao couldn't help but have a headache. The Supervisory Yuan has always been a troublesome government office. He couldn't forget that back then, he had been slapped by the Military Justice Department, the predecessor of the Supervisory Yuan. And this Ning Xin's identity is extremely special. She always feels a little strange between him and the governor. Moreover, the governor also trusts her very much. Just seeing that he doesn't avoid her when talking about these things, it can be seen that such a great god Staying in your own territory is really not a pleasant thing. Oh, by the way, there is more than one, and there is also an instructor Helan.

"Vice President Ning is only acting temporarily. She will go back when some things are finished." Gao Yuan seemed to have seen through Sun Xiao's thoughts, patting him on the shoulder, "However, Vice President Ning had no progress during this period." The matter is of great importance, you must ensure the funds and manpower for her here." p
