Chapter 1 The First Person of Yongzhou

```

Within the Great Zhou Court, there are three major martial departments.

The Military Department, the Inner palace Eunuch Department, and the Mountain Sea Department.

The Military Department focuses on attack and defense, maintaining peace throughout the land; the Inner palace Eunuch Department excels in cultivation, responsible for safeguarding the Imperial family; the last, the Mountain Sea Department, is renowned for intelligence, currently managing the royal arsenal and has close ties with Yunlu Academy.

Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, and Ji He hail from these three martial departments respectively.

Ji Zikong's arrangement for these three to go to Yongzhou clearly holds deeper meaning, giving Xue Zhao both a carrot and a stick, subtly withholding complete trust in this Great General of the Great Zhou Country.
