The military general watched the long road at the city gate, but Chu Huan was at the city gate of the long road.

Chu Huan's team is still a distance away from Shuoquan City, but the outline of Shuoquan City can be seen from afar. It is undeniable that Shuoquan City is the largest city Chu Huan saw in the northwest. Although the city wall is tall, it is bare and there are no towers. A city should have defensive construction, but it is difficult to see at this time.

Chu Huan knew that this city had been destroyed by war, and many of its defensive facilities must have been demolished by the Xiliang soldiers. However, this is the capital of Xiguan Road, and it is the political center of Xiguan Road. The city of the capital must strengthen its defense, especially in this chaos.

Xuanyuan Sheng was riding a horse in front, and the team was approaching the city gate. The officials who were welcoming saw the governor's team and had already greeted him here.

Chu Huan and Du Fugong rode together in horses. Seeing that from afar, Du Fugong had already stroked his beard and smiled: "Sir, it seems that it is not easy to gain a foothold here."

"Why did Mr. Du say this?"

"Didn't you see it?" Du Fugong said calmly: "We have sent someone to notify Shuoquan City in advance. According to the rules, they should wait ten miles outside the city and set up colored sheds. This is the rule, but not to mention colored sheds, they are even less than three miles away from the city..." Speaking of this, they did not continue, but their eyes were filled with a strange look.

The two teams finally met at the city gate. Chu Huan could see clearly at this time that in addition to the officials of Shuoquan City, there were many representatives of gentry, plus the soldiers, and there were hundreds of people, densely packed. Chu Huan saw the civil servants and generals walking in the front at a glance. Chu Huan was not familiar with the civil servants with small eyes, but the military general was Chu Huan's old acquaintance, and it was Dongfang Xin.

Dongfang Xin was capable of controlling the Tianshan Road Imperial Guards, but now he is the General of the Pingxi Army, commanding the eight major camps of the Pingxi Army, and holding military power. He is now considered a person who calls the wind and rain in the northwest.

Chu Huan urged his horse to move forward. Dongfang Xin had already led the officials and gentry to stop. Seeing that Chu Huan had already galloped out of the team, he turned to look at the civil servant beside him. The civil servant understood it and had already come forward, bowed and laughed at Chu Huan, "The Governor General is here, and the local officials and the gentry are excited when they hear the news. They are here early to look forward to it. The lower-ranking official, Dong Shizhen, the governor of Yuezhou, pay homage to the Governor General!" He had already knelt down on the ground and saluted Chu Huan.

After Dong Shizhen knelt down, the large group of officials and gentry behind them all bowed down. Dongfang Xin stepped forward, and the sound of the armor rubbing on his body made a crackling sound. He did not kneel down, but bowed to Chu Huan with expressionless face, saying, "My general Dongfang Xin has seen the Governor General, and Mo general is wearing armor on his body, so it is not convenient to kneel down. I hope the Governor General understands it."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "You have been waiting for a long time. General Dongfang is wearing armor and it is not convenient to visit him. Of course, I will not care." He raised his hand and said, "Everyone should get up!"

After he spoke, none of the officials and gentry acted. Chu Huan just pretended that everyone had not heard it and repeated: "You are here to welcome me. I am very grateful. Everyone has worked hard, so let's get up."

This time, many people raised their heads, but no one stood up.

While Chu Huan frowned, Dongfang Xin showed a little lust on his face. He turned around and said sternly: "Since the Governor asked you to get up, you all will get up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people stood up one after another. Xuanyuan Sheng next to Chu Huan changed color immediately, but Dongfang Xin had already said: "Governor General, you are just here for the first time, and everyone is not yet used to it. For a while, the military and political affairs of Xiguan were handled by the last general and the governor Dong. Everyone was not yet adapted to the Governor General for a while."

"It's natural." Chu Huan had already turned over and got off the horse and said with a smile: "I know what General Dongfang said. Everyone is not adapting for the time being. It doesn't matter. I will make everyone adapt as soon as possible and will make General Dongfang adapt as soon as possible."

Dongfang Xin smiled, but Dong Shizhen had already bowed and said, "Governor General is tired, and Xiaguan and others have prepared a feast in the city to welcome the emperor. It is almost dark. Let's go to the city now. Xiaguan will introduce all the officials one by one to the emperor."

Chu Huan nodded and smiled, "Chengqing, Chengqing, thank you Lord Dong and your colleagues, everything will be arranged by Lord Dong."

The group entered the city. The largest restaurant in Shuoquan City was called "Beiwanglou". It was inconvenient for women to attend the banquet. The Governor's Office had been cleaned up, so Xuanyuan Shengcai was going to attend the banquet, so Qi Hong was assigned to lead the team straight to the Governor's Office. Xuanyuan Shengcai led twenty guards to escort Chu Huan.

This team of 200 people has been removed from the establishment of the Royal Guards. It is affiliated with Chu Huan's private guard. Xuanyuan Shengcai is the commander of this guard. Chu Huan finally organized Bai Xiazi and others into the guards during the journey. However, because the number of people is too small, except for Xuanyuan Shengcai, Chu Huan arranged the position of lieutenant under him. After discussing with Xuanyuan Shengcai, Bai Xiazi and Lang Wazi were both awarded the position of lieutenant, while Ma Zheng and several camel tourists were directly incorporated into the guards. Qiu Ruxue was still a personal follower of Chu Huan because of his special status, and Sun Zikong was not assigned to the guards.

There were dozens of tables in the North View Tower. Dong Shizhen first introduced the officials to Chu Huan. The officials of the six ministries had arrived. Outside Shuoquan City, the four major camps of the Pingxi Army were stationed, and all the generals of the four major camps followed. The composition of the Pingxi Army was very complicated. There were both state and prefecture troops before Xiguan Road, some Northwest troops, and some were the guards brought by Yu Busu. After the Western Liang Iron Cavalry attacked the northwest, a group of scattered sand was scattered. Yu Busui rectified the eight major camps of the Pingxi Army, which was also the most powerful military force in the northwest today.

Two of the four camps were close confidants who had been following Dongfangxin, two other two were partial generals, one was once Qianhu in the Northwest Army, and the other was Yu Buqu’s old subordinate.

In addition to civil officials and military generals, there are many gentry coming today. Chu Huan hoped to see Mr. Su. He knew that many of the seven clansmen of Xiguan had returned home in a row. When he was in the capital, he knew from Linlang's letter that Mr. Su had led his clan members back to Yuezhou. However, he did not see Mr. Su today. The Su family sent him was Su Zhongyan, the seventh son of Mr. Su and Linlang's cousin. He had seen him when he was in Yunshan Mansion. Su Zhongyan was obviously excited to see Chu Huan, but when he introduced him, both of them just greeted him and had no deep conversation. Chu Huan was a smart person, and Su Zhongyan was not a stupid person. He knew that this occasion was not the time to reminisce about the past.

When Chu Huan saw the Su clan, he was still a little happy, but when he saw another gentry, the little joy in Chu Huan's heart disappeared.

He didn't expect that Gao Lian was among the crowd today.

Gao Lian is a Taoist in Beishan and the richest man in Qingzhou in Beishan. Chu Huan has a lot of interactions with him. As a representative of the Taoist gentry in Beishan, Gao Lian once joined forces with the gentry in Beishan Tianshan to plan to annex the land of the seven clans of Xiguan by renting grain and land, thereby suppressing the gentry in Xiguan. The seven clans of Xiguan are representatives of the gentry in Xiguan. Once the land of the seven clans is annexed, it is no longer possible for the seven clans to make a comeback.

It was just that Chu Huan gave advice to Mr. Su, and when he was in the Ministry of Revenue, he confronted Ma Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and finally bought time for the seven surnames of Xiguan to raise grain. The gentry of Beishan and Tianshan represented by Gao Lian, intended to annex the seven surnames of Xiguan to enter Xiguan, can be said to have been completely destroyed by Chu Huan.

Gao Lian was sinister, but it was hard to see his vicious thoughts from his face. His smiling face looked like a kind-hearted and kind-hearted old man. When he introduced him, Gao Lian was very humble and Chu Huan smiled and asked, "How could Mr. Gao be in Shuoquan City?"

Gao Lian smiled and said, "The villain will be the people of the adults in the future. Xiguan has suffered heavy damage and the northwest is integrated. Although the villain is from Beishan, he is even from the northwest. The Gao clan has a few generations of management, but the villain also understands that compared with the country, the family cannot be considered a people, and the villain cannot waste his time by guarding the poor production...!"

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "What does Mr. Gao mean?"

"The villain has moved his family to Yuezhou." Gao Lian said seriously: "The villain also wants to contribute to the reconstruction of Xiguan. The villain was still nervous before, but now the governor is in charge of Guanxi, and the villain is full of confidence. Under the leadership of the governor, Xiguan will be united and will surely be able to recreate the prosperity of Xiguan."

Chu Huan was a little surprised. Dong Shizhen next to him had already smiled and said, "Governor General, Gao Lian's family moved to Yuezhou. Not only Gao's family, but also many gentry from Beishan also moved here. They brought a large number of grains, purchased fields, and donated a lot of military rations before...!" Fu Xu smiled and said, "I don't know that just ten days ago, I convened the chamber of commerce and elected Gao Lian as the president of the Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce. In the future, the business in Xiguan will relied on Mr. Gao."

"Chairman President?" Chu Huan was even more surprised, but calm, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Gao has become the president of Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce... Mr. Gao is from Beishan, but he can come to help Xiguan. I feel very comforted!"

Dongfang Xin shook his head and said, "Mr. Chu is wrong. Since Gao Lian has moved to Yuezhou with his family and has been elected as the president of the Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce, he is from Xiguan and has no much connection with Beishan."

Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "So that's the case. Then we will rely on Mr. Gao in the future."

"It should be, suppose, but the Governor has his own destiny. The villain must do his best and dare not slackew at all." Gao Lian was extremely humble and had a smile on his face.

"Governor General, everyone has arrived, let's take the seat now." Dong Shizhen said casually.

At this moment, he saw a man quickly reaching Dongfang Xin's ear, and said a few words in his ear, then quickly retreated. Dongfang Xin turned to Chu Huan and said, "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry. There is an urgent task in the army. The generals are going to rush back to the military camp to solve the problem immediately. I can't accompany the master. Goodbye!" He bowed his hand, and without saying a word, he turned around and left. The four side generals looked at each other. Two of them turned around and left. The remaining two looked at each other and finally followed. One of them took a few steps and looked back at Chu Huan. Chu Huan already recognized him as Su Quan, a side general of Zhen camp, who was once Yu Buqu's subordinate. When he saw Su Quan's face hesitation and a little regret, he left in the end.

"Governor General, the subordinates are also in urgent need, please take your leave!" Dongfang Xin only took a few steps, and another official next to him said.

"Governor General, my father is in poor health. The subordinates must go back to take care of him first. I can't stay today. Please forgive me!"

"If you have something to do, please leave first!"

When Dongfang Xin walked out of the gate, more than a dozen officials had already surrendered to Chu Huan. Without waiting for Chu Huan to speak, he turned around and left without any politeness.
