Chapter 278 We Lead Troops to Fight

Shen Zhiyi's departure did not cause much waves in the army.

After simply bandaging and treating the wounded.

Xiao Ning led his men to gather the rescued food and supplies and headed to Yucheng.

After settling in, it was already late.

After Li Yuan arranged the rotation, he went to find Xiao Ning.

It just so happened that Zhang Zhi was there too.

Several people discussed the governance issues of Xiayu City.

The imperial court was already in chaos, so there was naturally no need for them to bother writing memorials and going to the capital to perform.

But who will govern Yucheng is indeed a problem.

There is still Lin Sanniang to help in Jinzhou.

There are still many things I need to ask Shen Zhiyi.

Now, not only is there no one like Lin Sanniang who is righteous, understands the situation in the state capital and is trustworthy, but even Shen Zhiyi has run away, making it difficult to urgently train an official to defend the city.

Xiao Ning couldn't bear to see the two of them sighing.

"Why are you panicking? Without that Shen, can't we train an official ourselves?"

Li Yuan: “…”

Zhang Zhi: “…”

The two men looked at each other and said helplessly: "General, we are leading troops to fight."

If they can train an official, why would they join the army? Wouldn't it be nice to become an official themselves?

Xiao Ning said: "Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you ever seen a pig run?"

Li Yuan: “…”

Zhang Zhi: "...General, if it doesn't work, don't force it. Give the order and quickly transfer a clerk from another city. He'll be better than the one we train temporarily."

Xiao Ning refused without even thinking.

Li Yuan also quickly elbowed Zhang Zhi, signaling him to shut up.

Zhang Zhi was stationed outside Jinzhou City at the time and had no idea about Xiao Ning and Shang Xi.

At first, the general thought that the princess was a princess.

They wholeheartedly supported him as the empress.

When the cities were captured, the officials sent by the court were almost all his Highness's men.

It’s normal that the general doesn’t want to use it now.

Fortunately, although those officials are His Highness's, the soldiers defending the city are all trained by them and are absolutely loyal.

After Shang Xi escaped, Li Yuan ordered people to send letters to the garrisons in each state.

If one day the interests of the two sides conflict, they can kill the officials, occupy the state capital, and wait for further instructions.

Xiao Ning's execution ability is not to be underestimated.

He said he wanted to train his own officials and started to work on it.

In the past two years, she has conquered many cities. Before the court officials were sent, she also read a lot of books and documents in the government office.

In addition, when Lin Sanniang first took over Jinzhou City, she didn't understand many things. Shen Zhiyi occasionally gave her some pointers, and after that she often came to ask for advice. Xiao Ning was also present and listened to a lot.

Combined with some theoretical knowledge she heard from the base commander in her previous life.

Xiao Ning studied hard for several days.

Finally, I have a general idea of ​​the current situation in Yucheng.

She also wrote a general outline for Yucheng's current and future development and governance.

Afterwards, he selected educated people in the city.

After searching for several days, I found that there was nothing at all.

Most of those who could read were from wealthy aristocratic families, but these people had connections and had already run away with their property before the rebels arrived.

As for those poor students...

Many could not withstand the oppression of the rebels and died early in the northwest.

Xiao Ning finally decided to seek help from outside.

She wrote a letter to Jinzhou, asking Lin Sanniang to pick two educated people to come over, as she wanted to train them to take over Yucheng.

When Lin Sanniang received the letter, she knew that Xiao Ning had no other choice. She immediately picked two people from the government office, explained the pros and cons to them, asked for their opinions, and then sent them over without stopping.

Both of them are in their twenties, which is the time when they are full of energy.

He was just a minor official in Jinzhou, but if he went to Yucheng and followed the general, if he performed well, he might be able to rise to a high position.

Even a fool knows what to choose.

After the two arrived in Yucheng, they were taken to Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning was handling some matters at the government office. After hearing the report, he was finally able to escape from the complicated chores.

She rubbed her brows and stood up.

Xiao Ning had a headache from the trivial official duties of the past few days, and his usually rosy and shiny face was now slightly pale.

She had vowed to do it before.

But the state affairs made her feel anxious, short of breath and dizzy.

I'm afraid she will be exhausted by the affairs of the country in the future.

I couldn't help but hate Shang Xi, that bastard, why did he have to be a man!

If he were the princess, why would there be so many problems?

No matter how much you complain, you still have to keep doing what you need to do.

"Bring it in quickly."

"yes!"

The guards took the order and left.

Xiao Ning straightened his clothes and touched his hair. After making sure that he looked okay, he sat down at the desk and waited for someone to come in.

The guards quickly brought people in.

As soon as the two entered the door, they knelt down and bowed deeply to Xiao Ning.

"I greet General Xiao!"

Xiao Ning coughed lightly, "No need for formalities."

The two men stood up, but did not dare to look around. They just lowered their brows and waited for Xiao Ning's instructions.

Xiao Ning frowned when he saw this.

"Look up and speak."

Upon hearing this, the two men bravely looked up.

But I saw a very handsome young man sitting at the top.

He was wearing a black and gray arrow-sleeved uniform, his hair was half loose and half tied up, a little messy, there was a slight blue under his eyes, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

You can see that he is very tired.

They had heard of the general's name in Jinzhou, but had no chance to meet him.

I didn't expect him to be such a young and handsome man.

He looks a few years younger than them.

"What are your names?"

"Commoner Xu Yu."

"Commoner Meng Bufan."

Xiao Ning nodded and wrote down their names.

After asking them what they were responsible for in Jinzhou, he led the two men to the pavilion warehouse, opened the door lock, and took them to one of the rows of pavilions.

"The documents here are similar to what you were responsible for in Jinzhou. You should start with this. After you have a comprehensive understanding of Yucheng's overall situation, I will teach you how to handle official business."

The two of them nodded hurriedly.

Looking at the documents on the shelf, his eyes were brighter than a hungry wolf seeing meat.

This warehouse is full of things, not just documents, but their path to success!

They were not from prominent families, so it was almost a pipe dream for them to become officials in the court.

But if they follow this general and do their job well, their future may not be limited to becoming officials in Yucheng Prefecture!

No, even if they only stopped at the Yucheng Prefecture official, they would be very lucky!

The family tree can be opened separately!

Xiao Ning looked at the fighting spirit in the two men's eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Although I don't understand why they are so eager for this kind of exhausting and unrewarding job.

But she was very satisfied with their positive attitude.

It looks full of vitality.

She likes these good comrades who love to work.

"Okay, just watch for now. I've left someone here. If you need anything, just tell them."

"If there's anything you don't understand, just come and ask me."

The two of them quickly agreed.

After Xiao Ning left, the two couldn't wait to plunge into the ocean of knowledge.
