The marshal rarely communicated with Xie Jue, thinking that Xie Jue was probably doing it for the Sangnan royal family, but he didn't expect that what Xie Jue was talking to him was Fang Chuning's arrangement.

Xie Jue said, "I know that the commander-in-chief hopes that Fang Chuning will take charge of the Jiangnan garrison and guard the border in the future. After the mission returns, he will be arranged to join the army in Jiangnan for training. But I hope that the commander-in-chief will train a coach for Jiangnan again. You are still very interested." He is young and it is too late to spend a few more years developing a coach."

The commander was shocked. He had never thought that the Jiangnan garrison would be handed over to someone other than Fang Chuning. This was his designated successor, and he was by far his most satisfied candidate for the head coach.

"Why?"

Xie Jue greeted the commander's oppressive voice and said in a deep voice, "Because I hope that Fang Chuning will be stationed in Zhongzhou in the future. Firstly, he can support the Ningzhou cavalry, and secondly, he can intimidate the twelve states. You also know that Zhongzhou is the former Although the Chen family is now subjugated to the territory of the imperial family of Yuwen, according to reliable reports, they are still pursuing the bloodline of the royal family of Yuwen, hoping to regain the former empire of Jiangnan. Zhongzhou is the throat fortress of Beining, connecting Kyoto and the twelve states. With Ningzhou, the most important thing is that I need Fang Chuning to stabilize the morale of Zhixu in Zhongzhou and weaken the influence of the Chen family. At the same time, millions of people from the Northern Barbarians are pouring into Beining, and most of them will be placed in the twelve states. Ningzhou will No longer the fortress of Beining, the Twelve Provinces have become dangerous places. After Fang Chuning weakened the remaining forces of the Chen family, he had to increase the defense of Zhongzhou. There is another more important point. After the return of the Northern Barbarians, the defenders of Ningzhou will be weakened. , the generals of the Ningzhou faction will be assigned to various cities in the twelve states to prevent the northern barbarians from causing chaos in the early stage of entering the pass. I need a capable and courageous general to guard the twelve states and take charge of these generals. Knowing Xu is the best But he is already the emperor and is busy with government affairs, so he needs a trustworthy general, so I hope that Fang Chuning will go to the Twelve States after pacifying Sangnan."

The commander listened quietly to Xie Jue's decision. He also knew that Xie Jue was the one handling government affairs during the years when Xie Xun and Xie Jue were in Ningzhou. In terms of talents as a king, Xie Jue was more outstanding than Xie Jue.

Xie Jue wants Fang Chuning to garrison Zhongzhou for a very good reason. The Xie family now only has Xie Xun and Xie Jue. It's unsettling, even if Xie Xun can be stable this time, what will happen ten or twenty years later? How can we guarantee that Xie Jue's sons will remain loyal and will not rebel.

Therefore, Xie Jue could not lead the army.

"Is this your intention or the emperor's?"

"That's what I meant." Xie Jue paused, "I know I won't refuse."

The commander-in-chief's face was solemn, "Do you know that the center of gravity of our Fang family is in Jiangnan. For hundreds of years, the Fang family has been in charge of the Jiangnan garrison. Tunan is the Jiangnan coach who I have pushed and trained since I was a child. The Jiangnan army is also Knowing that I will be loyal to him in the future, now you ask me to change my commander. Firstly, it disrupts my plan. Secondly, do you know that after Tunan takes charge of Zhongzhou, Jiangnan and Zhongzhou will be connected as one, and they will inevitably become a rope when they watch each other. Our father and son control more than half of the military power in Beining. Tingfeng, can the emperor feel at ease? Even if the emperor feels at ease, what will happen if the next generation of our family becomes ambitious and rebels twenty or thirty years from now? What will happen to you? Tunan is sent to Zhongzhou. Our Fang family is the Zhenbei Houfu of the Yuwen Dynasty. It is a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in the flesh. He wants to deal with it quickly. No matter what your plan is, it is a foolish move and I cannot agree to it. "

"Therefore, the coach re-trained by the commander-in-chief cannot be from the Fang family." Xie Jue said lightly, "You can choose your close associates, or I can appoint a candidate, Jiangnan, Zhongzhou, or the Fang family."

"It turns out that the prince not only wants to weaken the influence of the Chen family in Zhongzhou, but also the influence of our Fang family in Jiangnan." The commander sneered, "Killing two birds with one stone!"

"Yes!" Xie Jue admitted frankly, "Everyone knows that Zhixu wants to regain Sangnan's heart. In the future, the war situation between the north and the south will be stable, and there will be no need to raise a huge army. The garrison in Jiangnan will definitely be reduced sharply. The center will be placed in Zhongzhou, where Aning can display his talents. Although he is your son, he is from Ningzhou cavalry. The generals of the Ningzhou faction obey him. It is also easy for him to cultivate his own power in Zhongzhou. Commander, you don’t have to worry about the cunning rabbit dying and being cooked by the lackeys, as long as I live for one day, Aning will not be the Zhenbei Marquis of the Yuwen Dynasty."

"I'm sorry to obey!" The commander refused Xie Jue forcefully, "If the emperor issues a decree, our Fang family will not disobey or disrespect it, but if you ask about my wishes, I'm sorry, my son will not go to Zhongzhou, he is The future coach of Jiangnan Army.”

"Commander, think twice, I am not negotiating with you!" Xie Jue said lightly, "Whether you want it or not, Fang Chuning's departure to Zhongzhou is a foregone conclusion in my heart."

"You..." The Marshal's face darkened, "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, why bother asking me!" (End of Chapter)
