Chapter 1096: Chapter 919, Proposal

Xiao Yeyang immediately set about reorganizing the Jianzhou Guard and its border army affairs after executing Shen Jingbing, who was constantly hampering efforts, and the border army generals who had sided with Wei Hong.

Under Xiao Yeyang’s forceful intervention, passive defense and the slack establishment of military towns began to gradually improve.

At the same time, the other guards in Xiliao also received news of Shen Jingbing’s death.

Xintunwei.

Upon hearing of Shen Jingbing’s death, Commander Hang Zhong was shocked: "Xiao Yeyang is really ruthless to have silently killed a man like that! Am I going to be next?"

The four guards bordering Xiliao, Ganzhou Guard, Jinwei Guard, and Jianzhou Guard, were all controlled by Xiao Yeyang; now only his Xintunwei remained.

One of the aides thought for a moment and said, "My lord, I think as long as you do not hinder Lord Xiao’s military establishment, he should not trouble you."

Hang Zhong shook his head and sighed, "I don’t want to oppose Xiao Yeyang, but Lord Wei has instructed me to try and halt the construction of the military town."

The aide thought for a moment and asked, "My lord, I don’t understand; the construction of the military town is clearly a good thing for Xiliang, why would Lord Wei want to stop it?"

Hang Zhong was silent for a while before answering, "Once the military town is built, Xiao Yeyang is very likely to take control of the military power here in Xiliang. Do you think Lord Wei would like to see that happen?" _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

The aide frowned and said, "In recent years, the people of Xiliao have become more and more overbearing, the border situation is gradually tense, and the defense of the border army and the guards is very passive. If a full-scale war breaks out, you should understand we don’t have much combat strength."

"Lord Wei’s thoughts, I don’t understand, but, my lord, you should prepare for yourself. Xintunwei borders Xiliao; if a war breaks out, we’ll be the first to be hit. If we cannot resist Xiliao and lose territory, the emperor will blame you as the primary responsible person."

Hang Zhong said with a headache, "I understand what you’re saying, but how am I supposed to explain this to Lord Wei?"

The aide pondered for a moment, "My lord, Lord Xiao has an imperial decree for constructing the military town, we can’t defy the imperial decree, can we?"

Hang Zhong’s eyes brightened, and he nodded, "You’re right, how could I dare to defy the imperial decree?"

Other commanders of the guards were also discussing the death of Shen Jingbing with their own aides, all coming to one conclusion – Xiliang is going to change!

...

Xiao Yeyang needed to stay behind to supervise the construction of the Jianzhou Guard military town and to train the local border army. He then had to visit Xintunwei and couldn’t return to Ganzhou City for quite a while.

He didn’t feel comfortable letting Daohua go back to Ganzhou City alone, and since they had spent little time together after coming to Xiliang, he decided to keep her by his side.

Daohua was also happy to accompany Xiao Yeyang. It was tiring, but this way she could take care of his daily meals and take the chance to understand more about the outside world, instead of just staying in the backyard.

Thus, everyone noticed that Xiao Yeyang had a handsome trusted aide by his side.

When Su Hongxin saw Daohua in the military tent, his mouth hung open in surprise for a while; Dong Yuanxuan, on the other hand, acted as though he had known all along.

Daohua smiled and said, "Brother Su, Brother Dong, you must be exhausted. Come, sit down and have a meal!"

Shen Jingbing was dead, and the affairs of Jianzhou Guard were temporarily managed by two joint commanders. Xiao Yeyang, not fully trusting them, had Dong Yuanxuan placed into the Jianzhou Guard.

Su Hongxin was also pulled to train the border army.

After his initial surprise, Su Hongxin chuckled and sat down at the table, eyeing the abundant food and swallowing his saliva, "Sister Yan, you should have come earlier. Ever since you arrived, our days have become better."

Xiao Yeyang glanced over, "You make it sound like I’ve been mistreating you." Normally, he also ate meals with everyone.
