After Zhang Yan decided to surrender to Lei Tai, he immediately convened a meeting of all the commanders of the Black Mountain Army, in order to call on other commanders to come under Lei Tai.

However, after all, the Montenegrin Army is only a military group, with a total of more than 20 commanders, the large army has 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the small army has several thousand, and each part of the army is actually an independent military organization.

Usually, Zhang Yan's power is the largest, and everyone takes Zhang Yan as the leader, but in the face of this major event of surrendering Lei Tai, the decision is in the hands of each Qu Shuai himself.

In the end, Zhang Yan persuaded the eighteen Qu Shuai to return to Lei Tai's command together, and the rest of the Qu Shuai still thought it was more pleasant to be a robber, so they did not come with Zhang Yan.

In the end, Zhang Yan brought a total of 80,000 troops and more than 500,000 civilians, all of whom were resettled in various counties and counties in Youzhou according to the prior distribution.

Lei Tai controlled 90% of the arable land in Youzhou, and he distributed 60% equally to the civilians of the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army, so that they could start cultivating wasteland while cultivating, after all, the proportion of 37 was a preferential policy that was not available anywhere else.

The remaining 30% is rented to the landless poor people who originally lived in Youzhou, so that they can also devote themselves to production and labor with peace of mind.

It is this policy that Lei Tai's reputation in the Youzhou area has spread rapidly, and he has become a good person who is a household name, and the people not only did not feel afraid because of Lei Tai's previous iron-fisted policy towards the powerful people in various places, but they thought that this was a very correct choice, after all, only if Lei Tai killed these local heroes, they would have the opportunity to rent these lands at a rate of fifty-fifty.

You must know that the ratio of 55 shares is an unprecedented policy in any other state, and the proportion of shares in other places is generally 82 shares, and the farmers can only get about 20 percent of the harvest at most.

So for a period of time after that, displaced people from all over the country rushed to Youzhou, hoping that Lei Tai would accept them and rent land for them to cultivate.

At this time, the land in Lei Tai's hands had been rented, and he officially looked at the counties in Liaodong, where Gongsun Du was located.

There are a total of three counties in the Liaodong region occupied by Gongsun Du, all of which are large counties rich in natural resources, and if this place is recovered, Lei Tai's strength will be able to rise to a higher level.

After this period of rectification of the army, Lei Tai reduced the original army of 260,000 to 70,000, because most of the 260,000 were the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army.

In this way, the remaining 70,000 people became the most elite force, although the number was reduced, but the combat effectiveness increased a lot.

Before setting out on the expedition, Lei Tai came to the armory, wanting to find a weapon for himself, he picked up a long sword, shook his head and said, "It's too light!", after picking up a spear, he also shook his head and said: "It's too light!"

In the end, all the weapons in the armory did not meet Lei Tai's requirements, and the official in charge of the weapons was a little panicked, so he suggested that Lei Tai go to the weapon forging room to have a look, and specially customize a weapon that meets his own requirements.

The master in charge of crafting weapons in the forging room seemed to be very confident in his craft, patted his chest and said, "Although the lord asks, I will do my best to create a weapon for you." ”

"Alright then, you'll build me a 40-meter-long machete!" said Retai with a smile.

"40 meters, how long is that?" asked the forger, scratching his head, after all, this was the first time he had heard of the rice unit.

Lei Tai also remembered the particularity of this era, so after converting the units between the length of one zhang and the meter in this period, he changed his words: "Build me an 18 zhang machete!"

[Amazement from the Forge** +360]

[Surprise from ** +352]

………………

The forge master looked at Lei Tai dumbfounded, he couldn't speak, he had been waiting, waiting for Lei Tai to take the initiative to admit that he had said the wrong length.

But after waiting for a long time, Lei Tai not only did not change, but asked: "What's the matter?

"My lord, it's not that we can't forge these 18 zhang divine weapons, it's just that forging these weapons requires a new forging room with special characteristics, so after the weapon forging is completed, I'm afraid it will be a few months later. ”

Lei Tai shook his head and did not speak.

The forger seemed to see that Lei Tai's face was a little lost, and hurriedly said: "Why don't I build a machete for the lord first, and after the 18 zhang divine weapon is built in the future, it will not be too late for the lord to show his divine power again." ”

Lei Tai nodded, and accepted the forger's suggestion, after all, he needed a suitable weapon in the next war against Gongsun Du.

So after only a few days, Leitai's Zhangba machete has been forged.

The two apprentices carried the knife to the courtyard one after the other, and the blacksmith said proudly: "The handle of this knife is about two feet long, the blade is about one zhang and six feet long, and the weight is about 133 catties.

After saying this, everyone stepped aside, waiting for Lei Tai's performance, many of them were skeptical, thinking that even if Lei Tai could afford this 133-pound big knife, he would inevitably be able to use it flexibly, not to mention killing the enemy in battle, and it would be possible for him to be killed because of the weight of this knife.

Unexpectedly, Lei Tai didn't actually touch the knife at all, but used the dragon grabbing skill to control the knife in mid-air, circling back and forth......

[The host causes a surprising emotional resonance, and rewards 1 chance to draw a lottery]

It wasn't until everyone's jaws dropped that Lei Tai withdrew his skills and took the knife in his hand.

"The lord has such a powerful power, and he is really a god descending from the earth!"

"The lord is invincible in the world!"

…………

When everyone saw that Lei Tai played this machete so easily, they all admired it, and their admiration for Lei Tai also reached a higher level.

The weight of this knife has indeed met Lei Tai's requirements, and at the same time, it can also match the more than 400 years of skill in Lei Tai's body, he raised the knife and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, we will send troops to Liaodong in the near future to unify the entire Youzhou!"

……………………

In the meeting hall, Zhang Yan, Yan Gang, Tian Yu and other generals stood below, waiting for Lei Tai's final order.

"Zhang Yan, you lead 20,000 horses into Yangle County, you must complete the task before Chinese New Year's Eve......"

Zhang Yan: "Obey!"

"Yan Gang, you lead three thousand cavalry to bypass Changli County and block Gongsun Du's reinforcements!"

Yan Gang: "Obey!"

"Zhang Rao, you lead 20,000 horses to march into Bintu County, you must complete the task before Chinese New Year's Eve......"

Zhang Rao: "Obey!"

"The rest of the people, stick to their respective posts, and there must be no mistakes!"

Everyone: "Yes!"

………………

Changli County is the most westernmost county in Gongsun Du's territory, if Lei Tai wants to attack Gongsun Du, he must first take this county, and Yangle and Bintu two counties are the two most important counties in Changli County, only by capturing these two counties at the same time, can he further plot other areas, otherwise, it is easy for Gongsun Du to form a corner and launch a counterattack against Lei Tai.

After the order was issued, the relevant generals led their troops to march towards Gongsun Du.

Lei Tai also had to go out in person, so let Tian Yu and Liu Yu be responsible for staying in Jixian County.

After this expedition, Lei Tai took a total of 43,000 people to Gongsun Du's territory, and 10,000 of the remaining soldiers and horses were in the north of Youzhou, responsible for defending against the invasion of nomads, and the rest were evenly distributed in various counties and counties of Youzhou, so in the end, only 500 people were left in Jixian County to guard the work.
