    The wild geese were crossing south, and the north wind was blowing cold on the river. Jiang Chenyan looked up and saw the rows of wild geese flying in the light gray sky. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sadness. He felt that his official life for more than a year was full of changes and bitterness.  , who can understand that a woman can hide it from the eyes of the world and hang out in the temple for a year and a half. There is no lack of luck in this.

    Jiang Chenyan calmed down the sudden sigh in his heart, and wanted to go back to the room to read the official documents for a while. He saw Lu Hang sitting next to her desk with his legs crossed, casually flipping through the writings of her Ministry of War. Jiang Chenyan was attracted by his sudden  When he appeared, he was startled and said in surprise, "Ruffian, can you please make some noise? Pretending to be a ghost in broad daylight is scary."

    "Please, Prince Consort Jiang, it's you who stood at the door and watched this ghost world. You were dumbfounded and said that this young master is a ghost." Lu Hang was wearing a dark green brocade robe today, and the clear jade pendant hanging around his waist made a "ding-pong" sound.  , tapping lightly on the wood supporting the desks.

    Jiang Chenyan looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said angrily, "You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What do you want to see me for today?"

    "A few things, first of all, Princess Qi has been annoying me all day long, asking me to urge you to go home. If you and Princess Eight are having trouble, there's no need to make it known to all of us."

    When Jiang Chenyan heard this, his body trembled slightly and he said indifferently, "According to the laws of our dynasty, the prince-in-law of the dynasty must be summoned by the princess before he can return home."

    "Bah don't give me those laws and allusions. What happened to you and the eighth princess? I can't care about it, and I don't want to care about it. Anyway, you just know it in your heart."

    "The second thing is, if you accompany me to an invitation today, you will definitely get a lot of news. Do you want to go or not?"

    Jiang Chenyan was startled. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and expressed his willingness to accompany him. On the way, Lu Hang explained to Jiang Chenyan softly, "The scholar is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He should be familiar with the army formation of Chu State."

    Jiang Chenyan pondered for a moment and said calmly, "There are a total of forty-eight large and small armies in Chu State. Among them, the four legions of Qinglong Army, Suzaku Army, White Tiger Army, and Xuanwu Army have the strongest combat effectiveness. However, the one that makes me most curious is  , there are still seven armies called Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. At that time, I was still wondering why their organization was so different."

    Lu Hang laughed "haha" and told Jiang Chenyan everything about the Seven-Star Army.

    "I know all what you said, but even though the Seven-Star Army is not directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, they have been restraining each other in the Chu State, and they are still in peace up to now." After listening to Lu Hang's explanation, Jiang Chenyan proposed  answered his own questions.

    "This may have been the case before, but it is not necessarily the case now. In the Qi-Chu war half a year ago, the White Tiger Army had already suffered heavy losses, and most of the elite Qinglong Army had to deal with the western border, and Marshal Zhan Long's sudden illness caused the Xuanwu Army to suffer heavy losses.  It is divided into two groups. As for the Suzaku Army, it was first busy dealing with the rogue bandits who had risen up all around, and then suppressing the Miao rebels. There were very few troops that truly belonged to the Emperor of Chu. Your Majesty asked us to investigate those weapons of unknown origin. What we are afraid of is this large number.  The weapons fell into the other seven armies." Lu Hang said coldly, playing with the gold and silver fan.

    "Yes, the princes, prefectures and kings have not taken any action until now. This is because the Emperor of Chu is in good health and the prince is still firmly on the throne. Also, Prince Yong, the financial master in charge of salt and grain in Jiangnan, has not expressed his support for which side.  Otherwise, why would there be only four major legions fighting there." After Jiang Chenyan peeled off layers of cocoons from Lu Hang, some history about Chu State suddenly appeared in his mind.

    Back then, Emperor Gaozu came from a poor family and joined the uprising army that overthrew the Jin Dynasty at an early age. He met seven aspiring young men and became good brothers through life and death.  Later, Emperor Gaozu became the leader of the rebel army and overthrew the Jin Dynasty to create the Chu State. The meritorious elders who established the Chu State were successively crowned kings and their lands were broken. The Seven Star Army was organized by those seven princes and generals in their own fiefdoms.  Although the number and equipment of the militia army of the Chu State could not be compared with the regular army of Chu at that time, the Seven Star Army has always retained its distinguished status and exists to this day as the private army of the seven princes.

    After Jiang Chenyan and Lu Hang chatted for a while, their destination arrived.

    Jiang Chenyan and Lu Hang got off the carriage and looked up. It turned out that the servant Su Heyan arrived at the residence. Jiang Chenyan was a little confused and looked at Lu Hang with questioning eyes.

    Lu Hang shrugged, shook his head, looked helpless, and said with a weak smile, "Do you know why I like to call you a nerd? Because you really don't hear anything outside the world and only read books by sages."  Today is the full moon day of Mr. Su¡¯s young master. He specially invited several officials with whom he has good relations to come to his home for a gathering. Your bookAfter all the commanders have become the pillars of our dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of Chu hopes that all the commanders can use a quarter of their own armies to expand the central army of our dynasty.  His Majesty will make corresponding compensation to all commanders.  "

    As soon as Mr. Su said this, everyone was stunned. Even Ye Lingxi, who had the most expressionless face, frowned slightly.

    The handsome Nangong Yu smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that it's a disguised form of cutting down the vassalage. I thought it was something." Then he took a sip of tea, looking cynical and casual.

    After Su Heyan heard this, his face turned pale, and he said with some embarrassment, "Prince Nangong is joking. All the armies and cities and counties in various places must respond to the recruitment of soldiers this time. It is definitely not a one-on-one tailoring of the Seven-Star Army. Zhongshu Province has drafted a plan."  Finally, the members of our province are still being reviewed and reviewed. Your Majesty is afraid that the commanders will have grudges, so I sent an old man to say hello to the commanders in advance. I hope that the commanders can cooperate with this recruitment matter with peace of mind, and the imperial court will not treat the princes badly.  The prince¡¯s.¡±

    Jiang Chenyan thought to himself, no wonder the Ministry of War did not get any news about the requisition and deployment of garrison troops from various places. It turned out that this matter was still under pressure in the province.  It seems that Emperor Chu is about to start cutting down the vassal vassalage.

    Lu Hang seemed to be quite leisurely, as if he had already received the news, his eyes were murmuring and he was watching with cold eyes.

    "I don't have any objections." The tall and majestic seventh brother of Emperor Chu was very happy.  Jiang Chenyan secretly sneered, of course you have no objection. The Tianshu Army has long since been married into the royal family with your mother and concubine, and has ceased to exist in name only. What the Tianshu Army now receives is not the salary of the Chu State.

    The short, bald Prince Cheng's face was a little solemn, and he obviously looked very unwilling. However, Jiang Chenyan thought about it. Some time ago, your general in the Yuheng Army secretly deducted the soldiers' food and pay, which made the soldiers in the Yuheng Army complain again and again.  If he could go to the Central Army this time, the soldiers of the Yuheng Army would be the fastest. Jiang Chenyan thought evilly and raised the corner of his mouth with a charming arc.

    As for Chu Zhan, who is known as the strange general of Chu State, he has not said a word until now. To be honest, the Tianquan army in Chu Zhan¡¯s hands really cannot be underestimated. Let¡¯s exclude the terrifying combat power and just talk about Tianquan.  The equipment of Quan's army can be said to be a regular army among regular armies. The only flaw is probably the number of people.  Because Emperor Gaozu had a legacy that the generals of the Seven Star Army should not inherit more than 80,000 troops, and this legacy also came with a very interesting decree, that is, the court only provided food and wages for 40,000 soldiers, and the weapons were only  Equipment issued to the militia.  In other words, if you want to raise an army, you can do it yourself.  If you can afford to raise them, you raise them. If you can't raise them, you will obediently lay off your troops. And once the number exceeds 80,000, or if they are found guilty of corruption, robbing families and killing people, then I'm sorry, the Emperor of Chu will punish him with treason and give him a lighter sentence.  In this case, the person's head will fall to the ground, all titles and troops will be deprived, and in worst case, the whole family will be executed.  Chu Zhan has been favored by His Majesty since he was a child, and the treatment of Tianquan Army is different from others.  Although the young prince did not express his position, Jiang Chenyan knew very well that he would not resist Emperor Chu.

    Nangong Yu, who was the most cynical just now, looked at Ye Lingxi with a smile, giving the impression that it could be translated into a sentence: I listen to the Ye family, and the Ye family agrees, I don't care.

    At this time, all eyes were focused on Ye Lingxi. Mr. Su smiled slightly and said kindly to Ye Lingxi, "If Princess Ye has any request, I will definitely report it to Your Majesty." His tone sounded very humble,  Probably because the Ye family has the largest background.

    At this time, the frosty Ye Lingxi just glanced in the direction of Jiang Chenyan and said lightly, "Today Lingxi is here on behalf of her mother's Tianji Army and her eldest brother's Tianxuan Army. Since His Majesty the Emperor of Chu has this intention, we  Naturally, the Ye family cannot go against the teachings of our ancestors, but I wonder if your Excellency can tell Ling Xi who will lead the troops we each drew, whether they will be generals sent by the imperial court, or whether they will be followed by generals from the original army."

    Su Heyan stroked his beard again and said, "This old man really doesn't know. At that time, it will be Jiang's consort's responsibility to worry about." He glanced at Jiang Chenyan, who was deep in thought.

    Jiang Chenyan suddenly woke up from his thoughts and smiled stupidly at the expressionless Ye Lingxi.

    "Mr. Su, have you finished talking about your official business? I still want to see the baby." Lu Hang finally couldn't help it anymore and muttered, a little protesting.

    "Shilang Lu, you are in the most urgent need here. I will order my servants to start the banquet and ask all the princes and princes to move to the garden." Su Heyan stood up and led all the princes and princes to move to the banquet.
