Chapter 145

Left for civil, right for military!

On the left stood a man wearing a black scholar's robe and cap, with a square face, a solemn and dignified expression, a sword hanging at his side, and a scroll of bamboo slips held in his hands.

A sword at his side was not strange.

Scholars of the Han Dynasty were all capable of both civil and military pursuits.

There is a saying that goes.

In the Han Dynasty, those with the poorest martial skills went to become military generals!

Although that might be a bit of an exaggeration.

But the civil officials and strategists of that era were not people who lacked the strength to truss a chicken.

They could not be compared to the scholars of the Great Gan today, who cannot even lift a hand.

And the person on the right was over one meter eighty, with a thick beard on his face, a rugged appearance, an extraordinary bearing, wearing wine-red clothing and yellow-and-red battle armor, with a saber at his waist!

He walked with the stride of a dragon and the pace of a tiger, his aura fierce and domineering.

When he stood before Jia Hui, his arms were pressed tightly against the sides of his body, like two dragons churning the sea.

It was evident that this was another mighty general no weaker than Gao Shun and Wei Xu.

After the two knelt on one knee to pay their respects.

Jia Hui laughed happily, stepped forward, and helped them both up, one with each hand: "Gongtai, Nukou, please rise quickly!"

Zang Ba's courtesy name is Nukou.

Chen Gong's courtesy name is Gongtai.

Chen Gong and Zang Ba obeyed and stood up.

Looking at the two, Jia Hui laughed happily again: "Having the two of you is like adding wings to a tiger, like a fish finding water!"

Seeing Jia Hui so happy and valuing them so highly.

Chen Gong and Zang Ba were both deeply moved and excited.

A scholar dies for one who knows him!

Although they were already loyal to Jia Hui unto death.

They still had their own personalities and emotions.

They would also have feelings of admiration or disappointment toward Jia Hui.

It was just that they would never betray him.

After they had gotten to know each other.

Jia Hui had the two take their seats.

Immediately after.

Jia Hui introduced his current situation in the Great Gan to Chen Gong and Zang Ba.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gong immediately said: "My lord, the most urgent task is to subdue and reorganize the Wucheng Military Commission as soon as possible!"

"The power of the Wucheng Military Commission cannot be underestimated; at a critical moment, it can control the entire Shenjing City!"

"The strength of six or seven thousand men is not to be underestimated."

As a strategist.

Chen Gong immediately began to devise plans for Jia Hui in a professional and dedicated manner.

Jia Hui agreed deeply after hearing this.

"That is what I was thinking as well."

"My lord!"

"Currently, the Flying Wolf Battalion has Gao Shun for the time being."

The personal guards have Wei Xu."

Both have people to hold down the fort."

Chen Gong spoke solemnly, his voice extremely heavy: "With the Wucheng Military Commission remaining, I suggest that General Zang Ba be used to assist you in gaining control of the Wucheng Military Commission as soon as possible."

"Furthermore, you must send more trusted elite soldiers to be inserted into every city and every squad to further consolidate control."

"For those who are stubbornly loyal to the Great Gan, or those who are enemies of my lord, they must be secretly eliminated; you can find opportunities to kill them or drive them out of the Wucheng Military Commission!"

There was no lack of ruthlessness in his words!

He, Chen Gong, is not the poisonous strategist Jia Xu, but he is also not one to show womanly kindness.

The decisiveness, courage, and ability to make trade-offs that are required.

He lacks none of them!

Jia Hui's expression remained unchanged after hearing this.

This coincided with his own thoughts.

And many points were even supplemented and perfected!

He immediately laughed: "Good! Very good!"

He then turned his head to the quiet Zang Ba at his side and said: "Zang Ba, tomorrow you will follow me to the Wucheng Military Commission to assist me in subduing and reorganizing it."

"In addition, I will arrange for several hundred elites to enter the Wucheng Military Commission."

"However, as Gongtai said, this matter must be conducted secretly, low-key, and in private. Do not let the Embroidered Uniform Guard or others know!"

"I will leave this matter for you to take charge of and be responsible for."

Zang Ba immediately cupped his hands respectfully with a smile and agreed: "Zang Ba, I obey your command!"

Zang Ba is a man who is good at defending cities and also good at attacking them.

His highest official rank reached Commandant of the Capital.

To put it plainly, this profession is an official who protects the capital.

Therefore, having him assist in controlling the entire Wucheng Military Commission is absolutely no problem; it is more than enough.

Then Jia Hui and Chen Gong chatted about many more things.

During this time, although Jia Hui and Gongtai felt that the Flying Wolf Battalion could not rely solely on Gao Shun alone.

So they really wanted to summon all eight of the brave generals.

It would be best to summon Zhang Liao.

After all, Gao Shun is skilled at training troops and is also very strong in charging and breaking through enemy lines.

But historically, he did not have the experience of leading large-scale armies in combat.

Therefore, Jia Hui still needs more generals to help.

However, manpower is currently in short supply.

He can only make do with what he has.

Currently, he has just obtained the Wucheng Military Commission.

Gaining control of it as quickly as possible is the top priority!

Therefore, having Zang Ba follow him to control the Wucheng Military Commission is the most important thing to do!

"My lord."

"The matter of you acting as a lone official, shaping a reckless image, and even offending some people."

"I, Gong, believe it is feasible."

"A general who has flaws, and especially a general who is particularly good at fighting, is the only kind of general who can make the Emperor feel at ease, because then he will think he has grasped your handle and can control you in the future."

·· 0 Begging for flowers 0 ·········

"Conversely, if my lord appears perfect and flawless, the Emperor should be wary and vigilant; other imperial princes and ministers are not fools, and they will all be hostile toward you and suppress you."

"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with this."

After resolving the topic of the Wucheng Military Commission.

Chen Gong then proceeded to evaluate the risks of Jia Hui's actions during this period.

And so on.

He believed that what Jia Hui had done during this period was generally correct.

Now that the Retired Emperor is old, he will pass away sooner or later.

Great power will be handed over to the current Emperor, who is still young.

Therefore, pledging allegiance to any imperial prince too early.

Is not a good thing.
