We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Li Che stared at Yang Zhongsi's receding figure in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Since Li Che refused to leave, the others around him could only stand there with him in a daze.

Wang Sanchun sighed and whispered, "It's no wonder Your Highness feels bad. It's such a shame that Marshal Yang, such a powerful figure, can't stay."

Qiu Bai glanced at him curiously and said sarcastically, "Didn't you realize that our General Wang has the ability to judge people?"

"Of course. Not to mention that Marshal Yang led tens of thousands of people to suppress the nearby barbarians for so many years, just looking at his usual conversation and temperament, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person."

Wang Sanchun sighed, "I wish I could be as good as him someday."

Qiu Bai rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop daydreaming. They can talk, but you can only spit!"

Wang Sanchun clenched his fists: "You fucking ......"

Seeing this, Qiu Bai knocked the saddle with his heel and moved closer to Li Che to prevent this ruffian from hitting him.

Li Che turned around and said expressionlessly, "Go into the city."

After leaving Chaoyang City for half a month, the city has changed a lot.

In addition to the repaired city walls, there are obviously more residential houses in the outer city, and you can see people dressed as constables with short sticks hanging from their waists patrolling back and forth.

It seems that Qian Bin and his team carried out the law enforcement orders that Li Che had given to the officers before he left.

When the army enters the city, the people will line the streets to welcome them.

The people of Ninggu Army had long been accustomed to it, while the people of National Protection Army were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking as if they had never seen the world before.

Xie An looked at the cheering crowd around him in surprise, then looked at Li Che who was waving enthusiastically to the people in front of him, and couldn't help but ask Xie Ming who was standing beside him:

"How come the young marshal is so popular among the people? Hasn't he just been enfeoffed?"

Jie Ming touched his head, recalled Li Che's usual behavior, and gave an ambiguous answer:

"Perhaps... it's because Your Highness truly cares about the people?"

Jie An fell into deep thought, feeling that this seemingly ordinary sentence seemed to have great power.

Yang Xuan, who was sitting in front of the two of them, had a look of confusion on his face.

She felt that the eyes of the people around her were very peaceful.

Unlike other people, when they saw the female general, their eyes showed undisguised surprise and questioning.

Little did they know that Li Che's medical battalion had already gone among the people to help the patients in the city get rid of their illnesses.

Therefore, the people of Chaoyang City, having received favors, will naturally be more accepting of female generals and female soldiers.

"Ninggu County currently only has this one city, but there will be more in the future," Li Che introduced to the man standing beside him. "We'll need your help to conquer more territory then."

**Zhi was a general highly praised by Yang Zhongsi, who said that he remained calm in times of crisis and had leadership talent.

Li Che also talked with **zhi several times. He was indeed gentle and calm, with the temperament of a Confucian general who could destroy a battle with just a laugh and a conversation.

Unfortunately, he fell ill when he was young and his health has been poor ever since. He couldn't even put on armor, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Young Marshal, you possess both military and literary talents, and are deeply loved by the people. You will surely achieve great things in the future," **zhi replied. "We will do our utmost to assist you in achieving your great cause."

Li Che nodded slightly: "We should wait for the cooperation."

When the army entered the inner city, they saw Qian Bin, He Conglong and the officials who stayed behind coming to greet them from afar.

"Welcome to His Highness's triumphant return." Everyone shouted in unison and bowed.

Li Che laughed heartily, dismounted and helped the two men up, then looked at the others: "Everyone get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Come into the government office and have a chat. I have many great talents to introduce to you."

Everyone entered the government office in an orderly manner, and the generals of the Ninggu Army and the National Protection Army followed closely behind. The government office, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became a bit small.

Li Che sat at the top seat, and the others stood on both sides, divided into civil and military officials.

Originally, Li Che's team consisted mostly of civil officials and few military generals.

Now with the National Protection Army's generals, the two sides are almost evenly matched.

"Let's talk about the situation in the city first." Li Che looked at Qian Bin, "Has anything big happened in the past few days?"

Qian Bin stood at the head of the civil officials and did not need to step out of the line. He bowed and spoke:

"The city wall has been restored, and we are now working on the restoration and planning of residential buildings."

"For the time being, we have enough food. However, the news of His Highness's recapture of Chaoyang City has spread, and many refugees have come here for refuge in recent days."

"As for the big thing..." Qian Bin thought for a moment and then said, "There is one thing Your Highness needs to know."

"What's the matter?"

Qian Bin looked puzzled. "A few days ago, the Shanhaiguan garrison commander sent someone to deliver a batch of bedding and clothing, saying it was something Your Highness urgently needed. The man seemed sympathetic, but it left me completely bewildered."

Li Che: ???

When did I ever need clothes? Are you crazy?!

But thinking that Xue Zhen had no ill intentions, Li Che didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Don't pay attention to him, he's so weird."

"Your Highness, Xue Zhen seems to be quite popular among the people of Chaoyang City." He Conglong suddenly bowed and said, "When the Shanhaiguan garrison delivered bedding and clothing into the city, some people came forward to greet them."

Li Che frowned: "Why?"

"I sent people to inquire. When the noble families were in power, the people who could not survive fled to Shanhaiguan. Although Xue Zhen did not let them in, he did provide them with food."

After hearing this, Li Che smiled and said, "You do have some conscience."

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let me introduce the new members... ahem, ahem, the new talents who have joined."

Hearing Li Che's words, **zhi and others hurried out.

Li Che introduced them one by one, and after a few pleasantries, they got to know each other.

"With the addition of the National Protection Army, the military system will need to be revised."

Li Che looked at the generals and said slowly: "This king has decided to establish three armies in Ninggu County."

"Establish the Ninggu Army, with Wang Sanchun as the chief general and Wang Sichun as the deputy general."

"Establish a National Protection Army, with ** Zhi as the chief general and Jie An as the deputy general."

"Establish the Chaoyang Army, with He Conglong as the commander-in-chief and Wang Hu as the deputy commander."

"The three armies were each organized into camps, each with equal status, and each with cavalry, infantry, archers, and other units."

"The original Royal Guard Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Armored Battalion, Barbarian Battalion, Crossbow Battalion, and Scout Battalion were independent and not part of the Three Armies."

"From now on, the three armed forces will continue to recruit new soldiers until the establishment is complete."

After Li Che finished speaking, he looked at the generals and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

Everyone hurriedly bowed and responded, "We will follow your Highness's orders."

Li Che nodded slowly and looked at Qian Bin, Zhuge Zhe and other officials: "Civil officials must also take action, and spring plowing must be put on the agenda."

"I will personally supervise this matter and ensure that every laborer in Chaoyang City has land to cultivate."

"Yes."

Li Che looked at Wang Chongjian again and said, "Everyone at the Gongzheng Institute will be here tomorrow. I have something for you to do."

Wang Chongjian asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, what is this?"

Li Che smiled slightly: "A magical artifact that can change the course of history and make the grassland people sing and dance."
