    The Second Corps of the Qinghe Army swept across the Jiangbei Province and took most of the areas into their pockets. It can be said that they made a lot of money.

    Chen Ziang did not become arrogant because of this, but became more humble and cautious.

    The Qinghe Army has occupied an area several times larger than Yunxi Mansion, if they can't digest it in time, they will choke them instead.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang felt that they had to keep their feet on the ground, step by step, and not be too ambitious, otherwise they would stumble.

    Chen Ziang proposed not to attack the capital of Jiangbei Province, and to withdraw from Lanze Mansion and Yinghua Mansion at the same time. After a discussion of weighing the pros and cons, the senior generals and the staff of the Staff Department expressed their support for Chen Ziang.

    After all, King Ning of Luyang Province not only has a strong army, but also has a lot of wealth and connections.

    The Second Corps of the Qinghe Army is not strong enough now. Once it becomes a war of attrition with King Ning, it will be their Qinghe Army that will suffer.

    In order to avoid direct contact with King Ning's troops now, to buy time for their Qinghe Army to digest the occupied area and develop and strengthen their strength.

    Chen Ziang took retreat as an advance, and deliberately gave up the areas of the three prefectures including Lanze Mansion to Xu Zhenxiong, the lingering Governor of Jiangbei Province.

    With Xu Zhenxiong, the Governor of Jiangbei Province, between them and King Ning, the two sides have a buffer zone, so that there will be no direct conflicts and battles, and the Qinghe Army's energy will not be diverted.

    What's more, Chen Ziang still has a hole card, that is, Xu Yong, under the command of Xu Zhenxiong, Governor of Jiangbei Province, is now theirs.

    As long as the Qinghe Army is willing, they can take the head of Xu Zhenxiong, Governor of Jiangbei Province, at any time, and bring these three prefectures under their command.

    "From now on, the West Camp will be set up, with Li Lang, the deputy head of the army, as the commander, responsible for fighting against the governor of the province, Xu Zhenxiong, and King Ning."

    Although Chen Ziang and the others took the initiative to give up the areas of the three prefectures to Governor Xu Zhenxiong, they avoided direct contact with King Ning's troops.

    However, both Governor Xu Zhenxiong and King Ning were enemies of Chen Ziang and his Qinghe army, and Chen Ziang was also worried that they would counterattack.

    Therefore, when Chen Ziang decided to go back to digest the occupied area, he also decided to leave a force to guard the border area.

    Li Lang, the deputy head of the army, did not expect Chen Ziang to let him take charge alone, which can be said to be a great trust for him.

    While Li Lang moved Chen Ziang to trust him, he also felt a little apprehensive, worried that this was Chen Ziang's temptation to him.

    After all, now he has grown step by step from a surrendered soldier to the No. 2 figure of the Second Qinghe Army Corps. Apart from his own efforts, he is also inseparable from Chen Ziang's promotion and trust.

    "General, the commander of the Western Day Camp needs a general who has both ability and political integrity. I have little talent and learning. Why don't you invite Brother Yuan to take up this position."

    Facing Chen Ziang's order to guard the West Camp, Li Lang also felt a little guilty, so he resigned and recommended another deputy army commander, Yuan Jie.

    "Brother Li, the general puts you in charge of the West Camp. That's trust in you. How can you live up to the general's kindness? Don't refuse." Yuan Jie said hastily.

    Although Yuan Jie is also the deputy commander of the army, he is not as good as Li Lang in terms of qualifications or prestige. He still has self-knowledge.

    "You don't want to refuse, it's just decided."

    Seeing that Li Lang still wanted to refuse, Chen Zi'ang made a final decision and blocked Li Lang's words.

    Li Lang also had a wry smile on his face when he heard Chen Ziang's unquestionable command tone, so he had no choice but to agree.

    "The last general will definitely do his best to live up to the general's trust."

    Because if he continued to decline, it would make Chen Ziang unhappy, and it would appear too hypocritical.

    "I'm relieved that you will guard the West Camp." Chen Ziang said with a smile.

    Facing Chen Ziang's unconditional trust, Li Lang also felt the weight on his shoulders and the pressure.

    "Congratulations to the deputy commander."

    The banner regiment commanders and banner battalion commanders in the large tent of the Chinese army also expressed their congratulations when they saw that Li Lang had become the commander of the West Camp.

    "Zhou Ba, Fatty Lu."

    After Chen Ziang appointed Li Lang, the deputy commander of the army, as the commander of the West Camp on the spot, he turned his attention to Zhou Ba and Fatty Lu, the banner commanders.

    "The end is here!"

    Zhou Ba, head of the First Banner of the Infantry, and Fatty Lu, head of the Ninth Banner of the Cavalry, responded.

    Chen Ziang ordered?: "From now on, your two flag regiments will be transferred to Li Lang's command and will be responsible for guarding the West Camp."

    "No!"

    Zhou Ba's First Banner Regiment was infantry, and Lu Fatzi's Ninth Banner Regiment was cavalry. In this way, the West Camp was invincible both in offense and defense.

    Besides, Zhou Ba's First Banner Regiment of Infantry and Fatty Lu's Ninth Banner Regiment of Cavalry are not weak in combat effectiveness, enough to deal with more than twice as many enemies.

    With their two elites guarding the western front and ensuring the stability of the rear, Chen Ziang can fully develop the people's livelihood and strengthen his strength.

    Although Chen Zi'ang and the others have occupied the area of ??eight prefectures, except for Yunxi Mansion, whose business situation has improved after several months, the other seven prefectures have just gone through the flames of war and are waiting to be rebuilt.

    What Chen Ziang and the others need is not an area where people's livelihood is poor, because it is not of much use to them.

    What he needs is a rich area that can continuously provide him with soldiers and food, which requires them to do a lot of work.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang couldn't wait to end the current war, and put his main energy into restoring order and production in the newly occupied area.

    "The First Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment will set off for Wanjin Mansion tomorrow to restore order in the area and start the task of suppressing bandits at the same time."

    "The Second Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment is heading to Guangdan Prefecture."

    "The Third Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment is heading to Ming'an Mansion."

    "The First Banner Battalion of the Guards Banner Regiment is heading to Yuanshan Prefecture."

    After Chen Ziang set up the West Camp, except for the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry, which remained as a mobile force, the rest of the troops also received new tasks.

    Chen Ziang and the others have newly occupied the areas of the seven prefectures. There are still a large number of bandits and remnants of the dynasty's defenders in these areas, and there are even local private soldiers from powerful families.

    Chen Ziang and the others want to gain a firm foothold in these newly occupied areas, so they must further eliminate these forces.

    ?Because their strength is limited, each of their prefectures can only send the strength of one banner battalion, which can be said to be a heavy task.

    "Immediately send a letter to Yunxi Mansion, asking Qin An to mobilize elite forces from the government affairs office and quickly send them to the newly occupied areas to take charge of comforting the people and counting the population."

    Compared with simply lashing out at Fang Qiu on the battlefield, restoring order and resuming production are trivial and complicated, and will face countless difficulties.

    "We defeated the 20th Corps of the People's Army on the battlefield, and the mighty army of King Ning retreated to Luyang Province. We won a military victory."

    "But now many of our brothers are going to a new battlefield. What we are facing are those local wealthy families and gentry, as well as those remaining dynasty stragglers, bandits, etc. They are either overt or covert, and the situation is much more complicated.  .¡±

    "I hope that the brothers who are stationed in various prefectures and counties will work hard, carry forward our fine tradition of daring to fight, not be afraid of difficulties and sacrifices, restore local order as soon as possible, and gain a firm foothold in these areas.  "

    "Do you have confidence?!"

    Chen Ziang saw the generals standing in the military tent, looked around and asked loudly.

    "have!"

    These generals are not afraid of facing several times the enemy, and they are also full of fighting spirit at this moment.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
