Chapter 177: Official Seal and Celebration Banquet (Weekend)

The Luoyang court's decision to appoint Chu Tian as Langya Prime Minister soon spread from Luoyang to Xiacheng.

With his own strength, Chu Tian and Mi Zhu bribed the ten ministers and obtained the official position of Langya Prime Minister. Along with this came the imperial edict ordering him to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army as soon as possible.

The princes who were responsible for the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army together with Chu Tian included Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai, the Qingzhou Army, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, and Xuzhou Army, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. There were three in total.

state army.

Qingzhou Governor Jiao He, like Kong Rong, lacked the ability to lead troops in battle. There were originally many Han troops in Qingzhou with sharp weapons, but they were beaten by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and fled.

There is no hope for the Qingzhou Army.

The imperial court valued Yanzhou Army and Xuzhou Army more.

"Cao Cao, the governor of Dongjun..."

So far, Chutian has never seen Cao Cao, the number one figure in the early Three Kingdoms period. Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Wu Huan, and Ma Chao all collapsed like an avalanche in front of Cao Cao.

With the help of players, Cao Cao is now more powerful than ever before.

The only ones who can contain Cao Cao are Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and a few player lords.

"Congratulations, my lord, on your promotion to the Prime Minister of Langya!"

A group of officials came to celebrate.

Chu Tian now has to consider appointing officials to his subordinates.

In the past, the territory was not large, and one person could often hold several positions at the same time, and the positions were not even clearly divided. After becoming the prime minister of Langya, he could appoint a group of officials on his own.

There are formal positions under Langya Prime Minister, and Chutian can also set up some fictitious positions.

First of all, we need to confirm the person of Changshi. Changshi is equivalent to the county magistrate. He assists the Langya Prime Minister in handling internal affairs and is the second-in-command after the Prime Minister.

Chutian selected Fang Xuanling as the chief historian among the three people: Fang Xuanling, Xia Liang, and Li Kui.

The chief historian is under the greatest pressure and has to deal with other officials. Therefore, it is better for Fang Xuanling, who is both intellectually and politically talented, to serve as the chief historian.

Fang Xuanling served as the chief historian and the meritorious official. The meritorious official was responsible for assessing the merits of various officials.

Chu Tian once promised Xia Liang that he would appoint her as the Chief Historian. As compensation, Chu Tian made her the Kaiyang Order, the City Cao Shi, and the Chief Chronicler.

Xia Liang happily accepted this appointment. She did not want to bear too much pressure.

In fact, the power of Kaiyang Order is very great. The city Cao Shi manages the market and city taxes. As for the chief secretary of the office, he mainly helps Chu Tian arrange meetings and record...

Chutian always holds a meeting before making an important decision.

Then there is Li Kui, who was appointed by Chu Tian as the captain of Diannong, the history of Fa Cao, and the history of Hu Cao, to manage agriculture, law, and household registration.

In addition to these three people, Chutian also established the positions of Thief Cao Shi, Cang Cao Shi, and Five Ministries Supervisor of Posts, etc., which were filled by special talents.

There were not many historical civil servants under Chu Tian, ​​so it was impossible for every department to be managed by historical figures.

As long as Chutian takes the personnel assessment, money and food, laws, and household registration into his own hands, he won't have to worry too much about other miscellaneous administrative departments.

These are civilian officials and military attachés.

"Appointing Hua Mulan as Cavalry Captain."

Chu Tian counted Hua Mulan's achievements.

Killed Zhang Kai, the commander of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army, killed Zhang Liang, one of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, shot and wounded Yang Wanchun, the lord of Anshi City, captured Zang Ba, defeated the Taishan thief Chang Xi with 30,000 people, and attacked Lingcheng at night...

He also has the credit for starting the business in the first place.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to appoint the Cavalry Commander, and other generals have no objections.

Then there was Zhou Yafu who captured the most villages and towns. Zhou Yafu also captured Guangzong City and Langya City, stopped Xu Sheng, and participated in the defeat of Wu Sangui's army. Chutian worshiped Zhou Yafu as the lieutenant of Langya Kingdom.

Xue Rengui had made great achievements in conquering bandits and leading heavy cavalry to defeat Xu Sheng. He became the captain of the enemy formation and was responsible for guarding the lord's palace.

Li Guang participated in the first national war, the Yangdu County Battle, beheaded Langya, the Prime Minister, and bid farewell to Sima.

Xu Sheng surrendered and had the merit of defeating Wu Sangui. He also commanded the naval camp and bid farewell to Sima.

Zang Ba paid homage to the Sima of his department, and Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Yin Li, Wu Dun and others paid homage to the fake Sima of the army, and served as deputy generals to Zang Ba, Xu Sheng, Li Guang, Zhou Yafu and others.

Among the military officers, Hua Mulan has the longest qualifications, and Zhou Yafu has the highest official position. Xue Rengui has not done enough credit, so he is just a miscellaneous captain.

Li Guang, Xu Sheng, and Zang Ba are commanders of other divisions and can have independent divisions.

Hua Mulan still commands Chu Tian's most trusted cavalry, and is actually very powerful.

Chu Tian conferred official positions so that his subordinates could finally exercise their powers legitimately.

Zang Ba's original official position was Captain of Cavalry. His official position was assigned by Chu Tian to Hua Mulan. Zang Ba was convinced because Zang Ba had been defeated by Hua Mulan.

Chutian can make him a commander of another department, which already means he is valued.

There were also several Taishan bandits who were disrupted by Chu Tian and then incorporated into various armies as deputy generals.

Before the crusade against Dong Zhuo began, captains and sima already held high-level official positions. As for captains and generals, they were mid- to high-level official positions in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, which were rare at this time.

However, after Dong Zhuo hijacked the emperor, official positions were no longer valuable, and lieutenants, generals and even princes were everywhere.

"Zhou Yafu will guard Ju County with 3,000 Xiliu Camp and 5,000 infantry archers. If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army goes south, Zhou Yafu will be the first to stop the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army's front. His deputy will be Yin Li."

Chu Tian planned to recruit 1,000 new Xiliu Camp soldiers for Zhou Yafu to strengthen the strength of Zhou Yafu's troops.

After annexing Ju County, Dong'an County, Dongguan County, that is, Qiu County, Chutian gained a large number of people, money and food, and then considered adding more soldiers to Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu was good at defending Jucheng, and even a hundred thousand Yellow Turban troops might not be able to capture Jucheng if he defended it.

"Zang Ba originally had 3,000 infantry and archers, but the number was increased to 5,000, and they were moved from Yangdu County to Dong'an County. His deputy general Sun Guan guarded Dongguan County with 2,000 people."

Chu Tian assigned a total of 5,000 ordinary infantry archers to Zang Ba and Sun Guan to guard two county towns, and they were the horns of each other with Zhou Yafu.

If the Yellow Turban Army wants to attack Xia City, they must first capture the three cities of Ju, Dongguan and Dong'an.

The three cities are the first line of defense built by Chutian.

The second line of defense consists of the three cities of Yangdu, Xueyue and Langya.

"I worship Xue Yue as the Commander of Yang Capital, Sun Kang and Wu Dun as deputy generals, commanding 7,000 soldiers to guard Yang Capital City and Xueyue City. Liu Sandao is the Kaiyang County Lieutenant, commanding 3,000 soldiers to guard Langya City."

Chutian built the first line of defense with 13,000 people, and the second line of defense with 10,000 people, focusing on defense.

The main force was stationed in Xia City and was personally commanded by Chu Tian and several generals.

Hua Mulan's tribe, commanding 200 iron eagle scouts and 4,000 cavalry.

Xue Rengui's troops commanded 200 elite archers of the Tang Dynasty, 500 light cavalry, and a small number of heavy cavalry.

Li Guangbu commanded 200 Western Han Dynasty border guard archers, 500 light cavalry, and 3,000 crossbowmen.

Chutian personally managed the 2,000 Shesheng Battalion and 5,000 infantrymen. He planned to recruit a new 1,000-person Shesheng Battalion.

The main force in Xia City is about 16,000 people.

In addition, there is an expanded naval camp.

According to Xu Sheng's request, Chutian planned to expand the naval battalion from 500 to 2,000 people, and at the same time upgrade it to a fourth-level shipyard to produce stern warships.

These regular armies do not include ordinary city defense troops and patrols to catch thieves.

With Chutian's territory and the current level of development of the territory, it is actually very difficult to support 41,000 regular legions, as well as several city defense troops and patrols.

There are still a large number of war horses that need to be raised, and a large number of weapons and armor that need to be replaced.

After conferring all the official positions and determining the defense areas of each department, Chutian can sit back and relax for the time being.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army wanted to attack Xia City, but there were six cities in the north of Xia City blocking their way.

At this time, the roads in Langya Kingdom were not extending in all directions. If you wanted to bypass the six northern cities and attack Xia City by surprise, you might be flanked by the defenders of the six cities and cut off the food routes.

This is the importance of cities and fortresses, to block the enemy's advance.

Chu Tian judged that within a year and a half, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would not be able to capture the six northern cities.

Chutian held a special banquet to entertain the meritorious officials and announced their appointments. Everyone was happy to receive their official positions.

During the celebration banquet, Hua Mulan drank a few more glasses. However, Hua Mulan's wine was very good and she did not go crazy with alcohol. Instead, she became more taciturn.

Xia Liang is the opposite of Hua Mulan. After drinking, her face becomes hot and her ears are red.

Zhou Yafu and Zang Ba were recalled to attend the celebration banquet.

Yin Li, Sun Kang, Wu Dun and other Taishan thieves also participated in the banquet. Compared with others, these Taishan thieves spoke more vulgarly and acted rudely, but they could liven up the atmosphere.

"I didn't expect that the person who defeated me that day was just a female."

Wu Dun saw Xia Liang, who defeated him with 3,000 recruits in Liangshan Town, and couldn't help but sigh.

Snow was falling heavily outside the lord's mansion, but more than ten historical heroes gathered inside the lord's mansion.

Even Du Fu was asked to attend the celebration banquet at the Lord's Mansion to witness the establishment of the Langya Kingdom's first group of civil servants and generals.

Chutian's team is mainly composed of heroes from various dynasties recruited through recruitment orders, followed by the Taishan bandits. Their lineup is so luxurious that even Cao Cao today may not be able to match it.

The celebration party lasted until late at night.

Many of the fierce generals were drunk and staggering around. Li Guang even lay on the ground holding the wine jar.

Even Hua Mulan is lying on the wooden table.

As the lord, Chu Tian was given a round of toasts by every civil servant and general, and Chu Tian immediately fell unconscious.

The only person present who was still alive was a civil servant, and his face was hot, and no one dared to drink Xia Liang.

"What a headache...why even Fang Xuanling and sister Mulan fell..."

Xia Liang saw that these men were so excited that they all fell down because they controlled Langya Kingdom and could compete in the Central Plains. He couldn't help but have a headache. This was probably the happiness of men.

She thought that as a military advisor, Fang Xuanling would not be so rash, but today Fang Xuanling seemed to have lost his composure.

"Here comes someone."

Xia Liang summoned the personal guards of the Lord's Mansion.

The personal guards of the Lord's Mansion generally obey Chu Tian's orders or Xue Rengui's orders directly, but if Chu Tian is unconscious, they will also obey the orders of the more familiar Xia Liang.

"You take all the adults back to their residences...General Hua Mulan stays."

Xia Liang thought that Hua Mulan was special, so she didn't let her guards take her away.

So the guards of the Lord's Mansion carried Fang Xuanling, Xue Rengui, Li Guang and others away.

Fang Xuanling opened her eyes intentionally or unintentionally and took a look. Seeing someone taking care of the aftermath, she went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Xia Liang underestimated Fang Xuanling's IQ. Fang Xuanling's current intelligence has reached 95.

Now only Chu Tian and Hua Mulan, who had fallen asleep, and the only awake Xia Liang were left in the lord's mansion.

Xia Liang had no choice but to carry Chu Tian and Hua Mulan to the bedrooms in the back hall.

"I should take the direction of military commander, it's really tiring..."

Xia Liang, who chose the direction of Wenchen, was panting.

Put Hua Mulan on Chu Tian's bed so that they can take care of her together.

"Next..."

Xia Liang saw that the two of them smelled of alcohol and wanted to light a fire to keep warm.

It's snowing heavily outside the Lord's Mansion, and it's the twelfth lunar month of winter.

The next day, when Chu Tian woke up, he had a splitting headache. He had been drunk by more than a dozen of his subordinates. He had completely forgotten what happened last night, only remembering the celebration banquet.

Chu Tian felt that his usual bed was a bit crowded, and suddenly he found Hua Mulan in casual clothes sleeping on his bed, her delicate body slightly curled up.

No way……

Chu Tian had the impression that he had done nothing.

What shocked Chu Tian even more was that Kaiyang Ling, City Cao Shi, and Chief Records Office Shi Xia Liang were lying beside the bed, only three feet away from him. They were also unconscious, and their eyelashes were trembling slightly with their breathing.

"..."

Chu Tian had to desperately think about what happened last night, but the result was... blank.

Getting drunk made a mistake.

Chu Tian vowed never to hold such a celebration banquet again, even if he became the shepherd of Xuzhou.

As if he had done something wrong, Chu Tian tried to escape from here lightly. He also found that his clothes had been changed and the smell of alcohol on his body was not that strong.

Xia Liang seemed to be awakened by Chu Tian's movements. He yawned slightly and rubbed his eyes: "Lord, are you awake?"

"Do you remember what happened last night?"

"Of course I remember. Don't worry, you didn't do anything. My subordinates just put you here to take care of you and General Mulan."

"That's good..."

Chu Tian was not so embarrassed now.

"Please, my lord, please don't be brave next time. You have to go to Luoyang to discuss with Qingzhou Governor, Xuzhou Governor, Beihai Prime Minister, Chenliu Governor and others about the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army."

Xia Liang reminds Chu Tian of his schedule.

Chu Tian remembered that this was indeed the case. In order to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, various princes who received orders from the imperial court planned to discuss in Luoyang. Each county has a teleportation array leading to Luoyang.

Now Chutian is already a prince in a sense.

"After noon, get up and head to Luoyang."

Chu Tian was somewhat looking forward to meeting Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Kong Rong, Tao Qian and other princes in Luoyang, especially Cao Cao, an emperor-level hero and a hero with monarch characteristics. So far, Chu Tian has met Liu Bei

, but I have never seen Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

Chutian also has the characteristics of a monarch, but unfortunately it played little role in the civil war in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Xia Liang went to boil tea for Chu Tian again, leaving Chu Tian alone in the room.

Hua Mulan was awakened by the movement of the two people. She opened her eyes hazily, only to find herself lying on Chu Tian's bed, her clothes had been changed, and her lord was standing beside the bed, her body stiffened.

Chu Tian was afraid of scaring Hua Mulan, so he pretended to be calm: "Listen to my explanation..."
