"Otherwise, why would so many people come here?" he pointed to the long line that stretched for miles in the distance, and his head was slightly raised and full of pride.

Su Yun frowned, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "But do you know." The king of Jin is just a woman, and he became a king in the past, which has shocked the world's scholars. But you are not ashamed to throw yourself into his command?"

After Su Yunxiang prided himself on being a famous family, because he moved to Lin'an with his father when he was young, he was naturally influenced by those scholars and doctors, and he was full of criticism for Xiao Feng and Chifengjun.

Because of this, Su Yun was full of rejection of Zeng Qu's move.

"Shame?"

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng's kind and pleasant expression immediately showed a trace of displeasure, and he retorted: "Since the Chifeng Army entered the city, it has always adhered to military regulations, and has never stepped into a private house, let alone forcibly seized a stitch or thread. Even if Yue Wumu was alive in the past, he may not have such a demeanor. Why can't I join them?

"But that Xiao Feng is a woman. With the body of a woman, she trespasses the treasure. Such an act is not in harmony with the number of rites. Su Yun looked persistent, but she didn't notice Zeng Qu's increasingly ugly face, and continued to chatter.

"And this Red Phoenix Army is even more harboring evil intentions. He actually took advantage of the decadence of our dynasty to raise troops into Sichuan? How is this kind of behavior different from plotting rebellion? In my opinion, you should leave this Red Phoenix Army as soon as possible and enter Beijing with me. With my reputation in Lin'an, even if I can't make you rich, at least I can live my life in peace. It's better than working here for the rest of your life. ”

Hearing that Su Yun was more and more outrageous, Zeng did let out a low sigh and said, "Don't say it again!"

Su Yun was shocked, looked at Zeng Qu with worry, and complained: "Zeng Qu." What's wrong with you? You know, you don't do this to me in the past!" He stepped forward again, but took Zeng Qu's hand and continued, "And you know it. The Mongol army has not yet left, and although the place is calm for the time being, the Tartars may attack at any time and anywhere. When the time comes, are you going to die with the Red Phoenix Army?"

Su Yun's words were full of worry.

It's just that Zeng Cheng shook his head, directly shook off the hand he was holding, and said, "You go, I won't leave with you?"

"Why?" asked Su Yun again.

After all, Lin'an is located in the water town of Jiangnan thousands of miles away, tens of thousands of miles away from Mongolia, and there are as many as 100,000 elite soldiers stationed there, which can be said to be impregnable.

That is, how powerful is the Mongol army, how can it cross thousands of miles and threaten Lin'an?

Zeng did look firm, and replied in a deep voice: "If it were the past, I might have left this place with you." But since the Red Phoenix Army came here, I have understood that escaping will not solve the problem!"

"But, you're going to die!" Su Yun emphasized.

He really didn't want his best friend to die at the hands of the Mongols.

Zeng Qu replied in a deep voice: "Of course I know. But if even I leave, how can I resist the Mongol army? Since I joined the Red Phoenix Army, I have long had the belief that I will die on the battlefield!"

"Okay. I understand. Su Yun's expression was gloomy.

He also knew that Zeng did have a temperament, and if he made up his mind, he would not change at all.

With a gloomy expression, Su Yun turned around and shouted to the servant in the distance: "Lao Li, let's leave." ”

That old Li waved his long whip lightly, and the horse's hooves stepped away, pulling the carriage to squeak and come to Su Yun's side.

"Young Master, aren't we going back?" asked Lao Li after a pause.

Su Yun nodded and replied, "The war is undecided at the moment, and we have more urgent matters." Turning his head, he looked at Zeng Qu and instructed: "It's just that you have to protect yourself, and you can easily lose your life." Got it?"

Zeng did close his head and replied: "Of course." If there is peace in the world, I may come to Lin'an and meet you. ”

"Alright then, I'll wait for you in Lin'an. Stepping into the carriage, Su Yun ordered the old Li who carried him all the way east, leaving his former hometown.

In Lin'an, I don't know anything about the situation here.

Zeng did see Su Yun leave, and he also felt a little lonely, but his childhood playmate is a stranger today, which is uncomfortable.

After calming his emotions a little, he returned to his post, after all, the war is undecided, stabilizing the order of Chengdu Prefecture, and laying a firm foundation for the Chifeng Army's all-Sichuan strategy is the most important thing.

Just as he sat down, he saw a horse coming quickly from afar, and shouted loudly: "Master Zeng! The General Staff Department has important matters to deal with, please go to the General Staff Headquarters quickly, don't delay!"

"Staff, didn't you really start moving?" Zeng Zhen's heart moved, dropped the pen and paper, and followed the knight in front of him to leave this place.

After about half an hour, it was only then that he arrived at the place where the staff headquarters was.

This place is very wide, and there is a large square for people to practice, and it was originally built by the Emperor of Houshu in the past, and later occupied by the Song Dynasty, it began to be developed, and it was also prosperous for a while.

However, after the Mongols entered Sichuan, many buildings were demolished and used as materials for repairing the city walls.

Today, the Red Phoenix Army entered Chengdu Mansion, and because they coveted the vastness of this place, they simply built it and moved into it.

"This colleague. I wonder why the General Staff came to me?" Zeng asked from the top of the war horse.

The man replied, "Maybe it has something to do with the conquest of the Mongol army." After all, as the head of Chengdu Mansion, you know all the personnel of Chengdu Mansion, so I recruited you here to ask what is going on!"

If so, the subordinates will do their best. Zeng was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed the sergeant in front of him into the place where the staff headquarters.

From the outside, the staff office looks the same, but if you actually walk inside, you can see many people walking back and forth from room to room with various papers in their hands, passing information through the corridors and passages.

"I have heard that the Red Phoenix Army is light and respectful, and efficiency is the most important, and it is really worthy of the name when I see it today. ”

Seeing this scene, Zeng was indeed amazed.

If there is no reason why the Red Phoenix Army was superior to the Song bureaucracy, it was this unique administrative institution.

The bureaucracy's efficiency in handling affairs was improved by the centralization of all the bureaucratic offices, which were usually scattered in various places, and the establishment of special service personnel to improve the efficiency of information transmission while curbing the private placement of cronies by officials, and the complete separation of government offices and residences further limited the influence of officials' wives on policy.

In this way, it is not a matter of one or two points to improve administrative efficiency.

Otherwise, how could the Red Phoenix Army be able to completely control the entire Chengdu Prefecture under the rule of the Red Phoenix Army in just a few months?

Just as he was thinking, the person in front of him said, "It's here!"

"Where have you been?" Zeng Cheng suddenly looked at it for a moment, and then found himself in front of a wide palace.

Through the half-covered door, you can hear a loud noise, and people can't help but wonder what is hidden inside.
