Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 462: Taking office, the Changsheng Clan! (Two in one)

"I recommend Yang Zhen, the young leader of my banner. He has run for election once in the past and has made great contributions in killing members of the Su clan in the battle to destroy the Su clan." Wang Tianshuang said seriously.

Song Changming glanced at his former boss and nodded.

"I'll make a note of it."

He also does not need to worry about avoiding suspicion. Now that he is the head of the military, he is the one who has the final say in the army.

Even if he really is nepotism, others can't do anything about it. Only King Cui can help him personally.

Of course, including Yang Zhen in the candidate list does not require him to go against the majority opinion.

Yang Zhen's own strength and achievements meet all the requirements, and he is even considered outstanding among all the candidates.

It's just the old saying that their backgrounds and life experiences are too different.

But now, Song Changming is Yang Zhen’s biggest backer and supporter, so what else can others say?

"The Fifth Legion, the young flag leader, Xu Yuan." Meng Kunlun then spoke.

He did not state the reason for the recommendation or list his military achievements, but the title of Thunder General Xu Yuan alone was enough for all the marshals to nod in approval.

"I'll make a note of it." Song Changming had no reason to hesitate, as they were all his old friends.

Even if Meng Kunlun didn't mention it, he would lend a hand.

"I recommend the Sixth Army's junior flag leader, Dou Xuan."

"I recommend Wen Zhen, the leader of the Eleventh Army."

The list began to expand. There were four vacancies for the general positions this time, so more candidates could be included in the candidate list.

Among them were many names that Song Changming was familiar with, but there were also some people he didn't know much about.

After all, with such a large military headquarters, forty-eight green-flag armies, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it was impossible for him to remember everyone. At most, he had some impression of those who had made a name for themselves and had outstanding military exploits.

Song Changming did not do anything peculiar. He just followed the conditions and did not make things difficult for those who met the requirements. They were all included in the list.

And if there are those who do not meet the requirements, unless they are as strong as Song Changming was in the past, he will give them a chance to be included.

When the list was more than half completed, a general suddenly stood up, bowed respectfully to Song Changming, and then spoke with some hesitation.

"I recommend a small army leader, Tang Leshan."

Song Changming listened quietly. He still had some impression of Tang Leshan.

At that time, Tang Leshan was unwilling to accept that Song Changming could defeat him, so he took the position of commander-in-chief of the 19th Army.

His obsession with this matter was so deep-rooted that when they met again later, Tang Leshan even contradicted Hu Donghuo, his own commander-in-chief, and wanted to have another fight with Song Changming.

Eventually, Song Changming broke his faith and he became dazed.

Now that the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Hu Donghuo, has died, it is not surprising that the person who recommended Tang Leshan was a commander-in-chief with a Tang family background.

Judging from the other party's expression, he obviously knew that Tang Leshan had offended Song Changming.

Now that Song Changming is the Grand Marshal of the military, he wants to block Tang Leshan from the quota, so Tang Leshan will never be able to get his hands on the position of marshal in his life.

There is no way around it, the marshal’s power is just that great.

Therefore, he was also worried that this recommendation would cause displeasure and restrictions from the new marshal.

However, after hearing the name Tang Leshan, Song Changming remained calm and just said "write it down".

He really didn't take Tang Leshan's offense seriously.

I didn't care about it in the past, and I pay even less attention to it now.

Not to mention that Tang Leshan is currently only at the innate perfection realm, even if he breaks through and becomes a martial arts master, he will not pose any threat to Song Changming.

"Thank you, Marshal." Tang Erde breathed a sigh of relief and sat back.

He had a new understanding of the new marshal's temper. At least this man was not a petty person.

After several hours, the list of candidates for the Marshal was almost finalized.

There are a total of seventy-eight candidates, which is far more than the number in Song Changming's selection.

However, this time four new marshals have to be selected, and such a number of candidates is reasonable, as it almost covers all the best talents in the entire military.

Just as the matter was about to be concluded, the supervisor of the palace suddenly stood up and saluted, saying, "Lord Hu Fanyi, the third-rank military officer of the palace, was recommended by Lord Hu Zhong to participate in the selection of the commander-in-chief."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present understood what he meant. Although it was said that it was Hu Zhong who recommended him, it was probably actually instructed by King Cui.

And they all knew very well who Hu Fanyi was.

The third son of King Cui, his strength has already been perfected. After Hu Donghuo, he is the royal descendant with the greatest hope of reaching the realm of martial arts grandmaster.

The purpose of coming to participate in the selection this time is very clear, that is, to inherit Hu Donghuo's position and become the commander-in-chief of an army.

"It is as expected." The generals were not surprised by this.

Due to the special nature of the army, it has always been the royal family's children who serve as commander-in-chief and lead the ace legion of this army.

At first it was Hu Zhong, then it was Hu Donghuo, and now it is Hu Fanyi.

It is called a selection, but in reality it is just a procedure. It can be said that no one can compete with Hu Fanyi for this position.

"Write it down." Song Changming nodded in response and continued to give instructions.

"The date of the selection is initially scheduled for this winter, before the end of the year. During this period, I would like to trouble you to make arrangements so that the candidates can prepare as soon as possible."

The reason why the date was set so late and so much time was left was because many people had suffered serious injuries in the previous battle to destroy the Soviet Union and were currently in the recovery stage.

Starting the selection at this time would undermine fairness and would also discourage those soldiers who have fought hard for the royal family.

Therefore, Song Changming must consider everything carefully. No matter what, he must give the wounded enough time to recover.

"Leader!"

As all the generals agreed, the parliament was adjourned.

Song Changming walked out of the parliament hall, followed by his personal guard Rong Jiang.

He began to follow Song Changming when he was still the commander-in-chief. Later, as Song Changming rose in power, he became the personal guard of a small flag owner, then the personal guard of a marshal, and now the personal guard of a field marshal.

In terms of military rank and position, he might not be as good as a general, but even a commander-in-chief would not dare to neglect him now.

"I must set up my own marshal's shogunate as soon as possible." Song Changming said to himself.

Now he only has one personal guard Rong Jiang by his side, who is not capable of handling all the affairs collected by the military. Originally, it would be best if he could recruit talents like Yang Zhen or Xiao Peibai who are meticulous and capable to work by his side.

But he knew clearly that both Yang Zhen and Xiao Peibai were talented generals and would be able to become great marshals in the future.

Moreover, both of them also had such goals and ambitions in their hearts. Song Changming took this into consideration and did not mobilize the two of them.

Otherwise, it would just be a matter of his words.

Apart from this, other talents in the 19th Army are mostly good at killing but lack wisdom and strategy, and are also not suitable to work by his side.

"Forget it, let's go look for Brother Yang." Song Changming said to himself.

Even though he holds a high position now, he is not as experienced as Yang Zhen in many things.

In addition, he was obsessed with spiritual practice every day, so he had no idea which suitable talents could be recruited in the city.

In contrast, Yang Zhen was extremely concerned and willing to make friends with some minor officials or military generals who had not yet made a name for themselves but whom he had high hopes for.

Song Changming planned to find some minor officials who had no background or support, and no position, but had some ability to do things, to fill his court and work for him.

In addition to promoting some low-ranking officials, he also planned to let Song Ping'an find some knowledgeable and intelligent people among the people to cultivate his own people and bring them into his marshal's office for training.

It can only be said that without a noble family background, it would be so troublesome.

For example, when Hu Zhong was the Grand Marshal, he didn't have to worry about having no one around him to use his talents.

Not to mention that he could choose from the Hu family members, it would be easy for him to use the family's influence to gather a group of elites to do the work.

In the border area of ​​Yunzhou, several figures flew past quickly and stopped in a desert.

If people in the main city of Cuibai Road saw the clothes these figures were wearing, they would definitely be able to recognize their identities.

It was the remnants of the Su family who escaped with their lives!

"We're about to enter Fengzhou!" Su Bo said with a frown.

"Are we really going into Fengzhou?" Su Ziyi looked at the sandstorm in front of him and couldn't see the way forward, which made him a little hesitant.

"At this point, there is no other way. Either follow Miss Gu and seek refuge with the Changsheng Gu Clan in Fengzhou, or go to Miaozhou and seek refuge with the Changsheng Gongsun Clan and ask them to take me in!"

"Miaozhou is too far away, and without the recommendation of the mistress, the Gongsun clan may not be willing to accept us. Going to the Changsheng Gu clan is the best option at the moment."

"Can't we just stay in Yunzhou? As long as we can find the protection of the family elders, or gather other surviving members of the family."

"No, Feng Ye's injury cannot be delayed, we must go to the Gu family!" Gu Xinyue, with a pale face, said firmly in the team.

Beside her, a servant of the Su family was carrying the seriously injured and unconscious Su Fengye.

The other members of the Su family looked at each other, and finally stepped into Fengzhou with a bit of fear and confusion.

If for no other reason, Gu Xinyue is a member of the Gu family after all.

With her recommendation, they will not be driven out no matter what.

However, being in Yunzhou is somewhat dangerous. If King Cui discovers their whereabouts, they will most likely find it difficult to escape.

Needless to say, they are now unable to determine how many members of the Su family are still alive.

Perhaps, after this period of time, only the last few members of their tribe will be left.

At the same time, the news that Changsheng Su of Cuibai Dao in Yunzhou was wiped out by the royal power represented by King Cui also spread quickly in various states.

Yunzhou, on the upper Li road, in the Changshengjiang Mansion.

"Sir, it has been confirmed. The news is true. Changsheng Su is really gone." In the mansion, Liu Xiangnan met Jiang He and said with a bow.

"How dare King Cuibai?" Zhao Dongming on the side asked puzzledly.

"Even if they have fallen, they are still members of the Changsheng clan. How can we kill them so easily?"

Jiang He sighed lightly, put down the slightly old teapot in his hand, and said: "If there is no reason, even if King Cui had ten courages, he would not dare to act so recklessly. I'm afraid there is another hidden reason.

In addition, I have some understanding of the Su family's current foundation. This King Cui is able to destroy the Su family, so I'm afraid he must be very capable."

Liu Xiangnan nodded and said, "It is said that the Su family's ancestor Su Dongdan, who had been wandering outside for decades, had returned to the Su Mansion before this incident, and was later killed by the Green King!"

"That's even more incredible." Jiang He couldn't help but say after hearing this.

He knew Su Dongdan's master level of cultivation, and that he had reached the late grandmaster level in his early years. No matter what method King Cui used, it would not be a simple and easy task to kill Su Dongdan.

"In addition, there is news that King Cui joined forces with the fox demon clan of Fox Mountain in Yuanzhou, and successfully destroyed the Su family." Liu Xiangnan went on to recount the many intelligences he had collected.

These intelligence information are so accurate, naturally they are not gossips he heard from outside, but the information channels that the Jiang family has itself, which are very reliable.

"Fox Mountain? Can you see the Nine-tailed Fox?" Jiang He asked.

"I don't know yet." Liu Xiangnan shook his head, but Jiang He knew that Xi Yanxue must have participated in this matter and completed her revenge on the Su family.

However, he couldn't help but worry about whether Xi Yanxue would be injured, and the life and death of his old friend Su Fengye.
"After hearing this news, the tea has lost its taste." Jiang He stood up and said.

"Sir, are you going to Cuibai Road?" Liu Xiangnan asked when he saw Jiang He was about to go out.

"No, go to Yuanzhou."

On the other side, Fengzhou, Lingfeng Road, Changsheng Ancient Family.

"Yue'er wrote to say that the Su family suffered a great disaster, and she and her husband are going to stay with us temporarily." In the lobby, a middle-aged woman covered in gold, silver and jade ornaments spoke.

"Hmph, she still has the nerve to come back and marry as a second wife. Her husband previously married a fox demon. If such a person with a stain on her body comes to my Gu family, won't we be laughed at by our clansmen?" Gu Yuanyang slapped the armrest of the chair and said with a frown.

"You didn't listen to my advice back then, and now that you've suffered, you're thinking about your family. Tell that girl to get lost, and just pretend you don't have this daughter!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't bear it, so she helped her daughter and said, "Su Fengye is a direct descendant of the Su family. Even though he has suffered a great disaster now, his immortal bloodline is still excellent. Not to mention whether he and Xinyue will have children in the future, he has already entered the Grandmaster realm and is an excellent talent.

My husband, this kind of person is in trouble. If you help him now, he will definitely remember our kindness and repay us in the future. Then."

What his wife said made sense, and it gradually calmed Gu Yuanyang down.

Even though Su Fengye has a stain on his body, he still has great potential and high-quality immortal bloodline. He is also his son-in-law, so the investment value in him is indeed huge.

Especially now that the Su family is in trouble, it gives him the opportunity to help them in time of need.

"After all, we are a branch of the family's side branch, and our words carry limited weight. I'm afraid the main family won't agree." Gu Yuanyang said in a muffled voice.

"We just want to welcome back our son-in-law. As long as you try your best, it makes sense." Seeing her husband's intention, the wife hurriedly said.

"Hmph!" Gu Yuanyang was silent for a moment, then he seemed to have made up his mind and walked out.
