"No! Subordinates understand, please wait! ”

As soon as Zhou Cang turned around, he walked out of the tent, and it didn't take long for a drum to sound outside the tent.

Lin Nan stood on the edge of the camp tent, and saw that Zhou Cang had already put on his battle armor, wearing a cooked copper helmet on his head, and holding a big knife in his hand, standing there majestically, and secretly shouted in his heart: "It seems that you have to bring Zhou Cang back to Jicheng, staying here will be poisoned by sugar-coated shells, and you can always find something for him to do under your nose." Liao Hua, you are quite wise, I hope you don't indulge like Zhou Cang. ”

All the people in the iron factory were assembled, and after Zhou Cang's order, a drunken army staggered towards Quanzhou City. These more than 500 people were infantry, and only Zhou Cang and a few of his relatives were cavalry, and under the leadership of Lin Nan, they returned to Quanzhou City.

It was almost noon that the team was brought back to Quanzhou City, and remained outside Quanzhou City on the spot, continuing to be led by Zhou Cang, while Lin Nan entered Quanzhou City alone and went straight to the county government.

The county yali was normal, and after Lin Nan entered the county ya, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, and Shi Sun You greeted him.

Chen Zhi told the news they heard: "Lord, Li Yizi's background has been investigated clearly, this person and Gongsun Chan are brothers, and they have been giving Gongsun Chan financial support, after Youbeiping was occupied by our army, Li Yizi moved back to his hometown Quanzhou from Youbeiping, and occupied the iron factory and salt factory, and the merchant Jia Le He Dang, and the diviner Liu Weitai prepared to secretly welcome back Gongsun Zhan. ”

After hearing this, Lin Nan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Sure enough, there is a conspiracy, where is Li Yizi now, and what is the movement?" ”

Chen Zhi hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates arrested a housekeeper from the Li Mansion, and the housekeeper said that Li Yizi asked him to paralyze the three people of Shi Sun You, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua as much as possible, and Li Yizi recruited 10,000 people in the name of building a wharf. Secretly training by the sea, I heard that it was led by Gongsun Chan's younger brother Gongsun Fan. According to the steward's words, it was said that Gongsun Chan had been appointed by Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai and was going to Bohai County with his soldiers and horses to take office, saying that as soon as Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses arrived in Bohai, they would unite to occupy Quanzhou first. Then use the iron factory in Quanzhou to produce weapons and start a counteroffensive against the lord. ”

Lin Nan sneered: "I didn't expect these mediocre children to plan so carefully, if I hadn't gone to Quanzhou in person, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found out about this matter." Since this matter has been bumped into by us, we can't let them do anything wrong, are Li Yizi, Le Hedang, and Liu Weitai all in Quanzhou now? ”

"It's all on the seashore of Quanzhou, and eighty miles east is where the wharf is built." Shisun Youdao.

At that moment, a scout sped over. When he saw Lin Nan, he hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, Yuyang Taishou Zhong Xuan, and Changshi Li Tie are leading three thousand cavalry towards Quanzhou City, less than ten miles away from here. ”

"Zhong Xuan, Li Tie? Why did they come, could it be that they already had insight into the plans of Li Yizi and others? Lin Nan looked a little surprised, turned around and walked towards the outside of the county office, and said to Chen Zhi, Wen Ping, and Shisun You, "Come with me." Go to the North Gate and have a look. ”

So, everyone followed Lin Nan to the north gate. And let Zhou Cang bring people into the city, close the four gates of the county seat, and not let anyone enter or leave.

After a while, a puff of dust rolled up on the official road due north, and Li Tie took the lead, and the Wuhuan cavalry behind him was even more hideous.

Li Tie saw Lin Nan and the others waiting outside the gate of Quanzhou. When he arrived at the gate of the city, he turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and bowed: "Subordinate Li Tie, see the lord!" ”

Lin Nan wondered in his heart. He picked up Li Tie and asked, "Li Tie, why did you suddenly bring troops here?" ”

Li Tie hurriedly replied: "General Liao sent someone to send a secret letter, saying that there will be Gongsun Zhan's people in Quanzhou to be active here, and it just so happened that Mr. Don't drive Mr. Xun to Yuyang, and said that the lord came to Quanzhou, so he immediately asked Lord Taishou and me to rush here with three thousand horsemen, and the subordinates were one step late, and asked the lord to forgive the sin!" ”

Lin Nan laughed and said: "It's not too late, it's just the right time, I'm about to start handling this matter, you happen to arrive, it's really a relief in the snow." What about Lord Chung? ”

"Lord Taishou is behind, I will lead the front five hundred to come first, and Lord Taishou will arrive in a while."

After waiting for a while, Zhong Miao really led 2,500 cavalry to the north gate, and when they met, Zhong Miao dismounted and bowed: "My subordinates see the lord!" ”

Lin Nan hurriedly helped Zhong Xuan up, with a look of joy on his face, he didn't expect that a small Quanzhou City would be involved in such a big movement. He and Zhong Xuan exchanged a few words of greetings, then let everyone enter the city, and immediately ordered Li Tie, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, and Shi Sun You to lead troops to arrest all Li Yizi's family, and confiscate their family funds, and he himself and Zhong Xuan entered the county government.

Quanzhou City was suddenly in chaos, and the soldiers began to search for Li Yizi's family and people who had close contact with Li Yizi.

In the county office, Lin Nan and Zhong Xuan sat down separately, and Zhong Xuan said first: "Li Yizi and others did this kind of thing under the noses of their subordinates, and their subordinates didn't even realize it, if it wasn't for General Liao sending someone to send a secret letter, I'm afraid Yuyang would have become Gongsun Zhan's place, and his subordinates would also ask the lord to forgive their sins!" ”

Lin Nandao: "I don't blame anyone for this kind of thing, it's all my fault, if I ordered all people like Li Yizi to be arrested half a month ago, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened, you brought the troops in time, but it was meritorious." By the way, is Xun You still staying in Yuyang? ”

"Don't drive Lord to carry out the transformation of the iron factory in Yuyang, it is almost the same, in a few days, the transformation of the iron factory can be completed, and then the production of weapons and armor can equip our army."

"Well, that's good. How's your exploration of the coal mines? ”

"According to the instructions of the lord, some minerals have basically been discovered, and they can be mined at any time."

"As soon as this matter is over, you go back and let people mine, the steel mill is handed over to Xun You, he has been in charge of the steel mill in Liaodong for a period of time, he knows how to operate, you only need to faint the coal mine in the steel mill." In addition, I also gave the approval for the last time you built the tuntian, and you can also implement it in the whole county after you go back. ”

"No!"

As he spoke, Chen Zhi walked straight in, hugged his fists and said, "Lord." Li Yizi's family all caught, none of them were missed, in addition to Li Yizi, they also caught Le Hedang and Liu Weitai, who were guests here with Li Yizi, and the two of them have also confessed, saying that they were instructed by Li Yizi. ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Very good. Immediately executed the entire family of Le Hedang, Liu Weitai and Li Yizi, and all the other family members, doormen, and private soldiers were released. You, Wen Ping, Zhou Cang, and Li Tie ordered 3,000 cavalry and waited at the east gate, and I will be there in a moment. ”

"No!"

Zhong Xuan, seeing that Chen Zhi had retreated, arched his hand and asked, "Lord, are you going to attack Li Yizi's troops who are training on the seashore now?" ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"My lord, those people are the people recruited by Li Yizi. It must have been bewitched by Li Yizi, Youzhou has a small population, it is not suitable to kill, and it is a good strategy to surrender without a fight, and his subordinates are willing to follow the lord to go together, and persuade Li Yizi to come and surrender with his three-inch tongue. Zhong Miao hurriedly said.

Lin Nan nodded, turned around and left, and said to Zhong Xuan, "Okay." You come with me and let Shisun You guard the city! ”

Three thousand cavalry have been ordered. All gathered outside the east gate of Quanzhou City, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Zhou Cang, and Li Tiesi will be lined up in turn, just waiting for Lin Nan's arrival.

Li Tie was wearing armor, looking at Chen Dao, Wen Ping, and Zhou Cang, who were the three hussars next to him who were tied for the eighteen hussars of Youzhou, he was slightly unconvinced, because he started from Liangzhou. He has been following Lin Nan, and he has made great contributions when he was in Bishui Pass, and he is not very satisfied with Lin Nan only giving him a long history and an official position as a captain.

After glancing at Zhou Cang, who was dark and red, and then at the young Chen Zhi and Wen Ping, he looked at himself again. I don't think there's anything worse than them. In his heart, Zhou Cang didn't care, after all, he followed Lin Nan earlier than him, and Wu Yong had also seen it with his own eyes, but the two young people, Chen Zhi and Wen Ping, who were newcomers, he had never seen these two people make a move.

"Hey! General Chen, General Wen, and others repelled those who planned to mutiny, how about we compete? ”

Chen Zhi was resolute, brave with a hint of calmness, glanced at Li Tie, only smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Wen Ping's body was thin and weak, he looked weak, he turned his head and glanced at the burly Li Tie, and said with a smile: "Okay, how can you compare?" Horse or foot? Marksmanship or archery? ”

"Whatever you want, I'll be with you to the end." Li Tie saw that Wen Ping was fighting, so he patted his chest, looking full of confidence.

Chen Zhi said softly: "Zhongye, have you forgotten the words of the old general?" ”

Huang Zhong's figure suddenly appeared in Wen Ping's mind, so he smiled and said to Li Tie: "Captain Li, I'm really sorry, I can't compete with you." ”

Li Tie was very puzzled, and when he heard the old general in Chen Zhi's mouth, he thought for a long time before he figured out who it was, and asked, "General Chen, do you mean the old general Huang Lao General?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Zhi replied softly.

Li Tie sneered and asked, "The two of you and General Huang are both listed as eighteen hussars, and the officials and lords are equal, do you two still have to listen to his orders?" ”

"Well...... It's hard to explain to you, if you really want to compete, go to Beiwutang another day, and the two brothers and I will definitely accompany you. Chen Zhi is an understatement.

Li Tie's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Okay! I heard that the Beiwu Hall has been built, and I, Li Tie, have never been to see it, so I will definitely go to Jicheng to compete with the two of you if I have the chance. ”

Chen Zhi said: "I will definitely accompany you to the end, Captain Li, I heard that you are from Liangzhou, and you are a soldier of the earliest Feiyu Army who followed the lord, and I also want to learn from Captain Li's high skills." ”

Wen Ping interjected: "Me too, I heard that the earliest soldiers of the Feiyu Army are all alive and well, they are generals when they go out, and they are guards when they enter, and they have made great contributions by following the lord's side. ”

Li Tie had already been praised to the sky, and his heart was happy, but he suddenly heard Zhou Cang beside him let out a sullen laugh, turned his head and asked, "General Zhou, what are you laughing at?" ”

Zhou Cang and Li Tie have known each other for a long time, the first batch of Flying Feather soldiers have all known each other, and Zhou Cang has served as a leader in the Flying Feather Army from the beginning, Li Tie was also a tun commander under him at that time, and he naturally knew Li Tie's character. Hearing that Chen Dao and Wen Ping were complimenting Li Tie, and seeing Li Tiele happy, he couldn't help laughing.

"Nothing, just a joke that popped into mind." Zhou Cang replied casually.

While talking, Lin Nan took Zhong Xuan to the gate of the city, and saw Zhou Cang, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, and Li Tie chattering there. He said: "Okay, it's time to go, go to the salt factory to find Liao Hua first, and then turn around and go to the dock." ”

"No!"

When the army set off, everyone rode horses and galloped, but it was embarrassing for Zhong Xuan. His riding skills were not good, and he was not as fast as others when he ran, but fortunately, Lin Nan gave Zhong Xuan the necessary riding guidance, which allowed Zhong Xuan to keep moving forward at a uniform speed.

Fifty miles southwest of Jeonju City, a wooden fence surrounds the salt factory, which is close to the sea, and fishermen by the sea will dry the sea salt, and in addition to the sea salt, some of them have mastered the method of making well salt. Some fishermen are busy in the salt factory, and soldiers are stationed around the salt factory to guard it.

Liao Hua was dressed in a military uniform, black fur had appeared above his lips, and his body had become thicker in the past two years, with a mature masculine aura on his body, and a sharp look in his deep eyes. He held the hilt of his saber hanging from his waist and made his rounds of the salt works. You will hear someone whispering "Hello General Liao". In his early years, he served as a county magistrate in Yushi County, and also learned a lot of fishing and salt making skills from local fishermen. The skin of the sea breeze also turned black.

After inspecting the circle, Liao Hua walked to the gate of the entire salt factory and asked the soldiers stationed on the side, "Is there any situation?" ”

"General Qiyu, there is no unusual behavior."

"If you see Li Yizi's people coming again, you will still come as before."

"No!"

Liao Hua climbed the watchtower and looked at the endless sea. The sea breeze was blowing slowly, but it made him feel a little cool. Looking around the entire salt factory, he saw that everyone was still working hard, and his heart was relieved.

The 500 infantry under his command were the subordinates of Shisun You, who were used to eating and drinking in Luoyang. There is inevitably a kind of flow in his body, but once Liao Hua accepted it, he first carried out some rectification, and it only took five days to train these 500 people into a disciplined team, and they obeyed him. Because of this, as soon as Li Yizi sent wine and meat, he would let these subordinates act for Li Yizi's people, and as soon as Li Yizi's people left, they would immediately return to normal.

It was also him, the first to discover Li Yizi's abnormality, personally went to the dock to visit, and found that Li Yizi was secretly training soldiers there, so he sent his relatives to Yuyang to pray for troops. On the one hand, he collected and dispersed the people to work in the salt factory, and on the other hand, he distributed the wine and meat sent by Li Yizi to the people to eat, and also ensured the normal operation of the salt factory.

The sun gradually sank into the sea level, and the sky gradually darkened, and at the time of twilight, a sunset appeared on the horizon, which is a scene that can often be seen on the seaside, and it is very familiar to Liao Hua.

After admiring the afterglow of the sunset, Liao Hua turned around and was about to go down to the watchtower, but vaguely heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance. His heart was shocked, and he immediately shouted to the soldiers below: "All the troops are on alert!" ”

At the sound of an order, 200 soldiers gathered in front of the walled gate, pulled up the bows and arrows in their hands, clenched the knives and guns in their hands, and waited for Liao Hua's command.

Liao Hua had already gone down the watchtower at this time, but when he saw a group of majestic cavalry coming in the twilight, the armor and clothing worn by the cavalry were familiar to him, and his face was overjoyed, so he ordered to lift his guard, and at the same time opened the gate of the fortress and personally went out to greet him.

Lin Nan came with a large army, and when he saw the gate of the village opened, Liao Hua came out to greet him, and he was very happy.

When the two met, Liao Hua welcomed Lin Nan into the camp in the salt factory, and asked the soldiers to greet the cavalry.

Entering the salt factory, Lin Nan stepped on the soft sand, and the salty sea breeze blew in his face, and his heart was full of excitement.

When they arrived at the tent, everyone sat down, and Liao Hua paid homage: "My subordinates don't know that the lord has come from afar, and he can't come out to greet him, so please forgive the lord!" ”

As soon as Lin Nan entered the salt factory, he felt a good atmosphere, there was no Hu Lai like Shisun You and Zhou Cang, his heart was also very pleased, and he was even more happy to see that the soldiers outside were all in good spirits. He smiled and said, "No need to be polite, Yuan Jian, how far is this place from the newly built dock?" ”

Liao Hua said: "Less than thirty miles, his subordinates have sent people to closely monitor every move there, Li Yizi has not had any abnormalities these days, and according to the scout's report, Gongsun Zhan has already led troops into Bohai County, and he is going to take office, and now it is calm for the time being." ”

Lin Nan said: "It's me who is too negligent. Knowing that Quanzhou is close to Jizhou, more troops should be sent to garrison this place. Yuan Jian, you have done a good job, you are much stronger than Zhou Cang and Shisun You, I will definitely reward you heavily. Now, tell me about the situation on the other side of the docks. ”

"No!" Liao Hua opened his mouth and said. Li Yizi had 3,000 private soldiers, and in the name of building a wharf, he recruited 10,000 people, and secretly took Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan for training. And Li Yizi's private soldiers are also a rabble, and there is nothing to worry about at all. If my men were 500 cavalrymen, it would be enough to attack and kill Li Yizi. This time, the lord brought 3,000 cavalry, and it was easy to attack and kill Li Yizi. ”

"Hehe, Li Yizi is just a mediocre talent, if I were Li Yizi, I would have such a unique advantage, I would definitely kill Shisun You and Zhou Cang first, and then attack you together. Deal with the three of you, and Jeonju is in his hands. At that time, no matter how blatantly he welcomed Gongsun Chan to Quanzhou, it would inevitably be able to arouse the response of Gongsun Chan's old department. But fortunately, Li Yizi is a mediocre talent, otherwise, we wouldn't know that we were attacked by Gongsun Zhan. ”

"The lord is wise!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Lin Nan said with a smile: "The army has just arrived, take a rest first, and then act after nightfall." Gather all the soldiers and horses, surround Li Yizi, and use the suspicious tactics to force him to surrender. When the time comes, Lord Zhong will persuade again, and he will definitely be able to fight without blood. Capture Li Yizi and Gongsun Fan in one fell swoop. ”

Liao Hua immediately took out the wine and meat that Li Yizi had sent these days to treat this group of cavalry, and asked his subordinates to guard the gate of the village, just waiting for Lin Nan's order, and then led the troops to kill Li Yizi.

After nightfall, Lin Nan ordered all the soldiers and horses, and all the 3,500 people took advantage of the night to drive in the direction of due east, and the road of thirty miles was not far, Lin Nan led the cavalry in front, Liao Hua led the infantry in the rear, and at the time of the hour, all arrived near the newly built wharf.

Looking at the beach near the sea, the lights are bright, and the camps of large camps are standing there, and there are four small camps around, and there is a large camp in the middle.

Lin Nan hid in the shadows, observed from a distance for a while, and then said to a few people around him: "It seems that Li Yizi and Gongsun Fan are not vigilant, and there are no sentry around." Li Tie, you take 500 people around the direction of due north; Zhou Cang, you take five hundred men to the northwest; Wenpin, you take 500 people to the west; Liao Hua, you take five hundred people to the southwest; The rest of the men were due south with me. ”

"No!" Everyone replied in unison.

Lin Nan then said: "Li Tie, Zhou Cang, Wen Ping, Liao Hua, the four of you have given me the intersection, just wave the flag and shout, don't take the initiative to attack, play the role of a suspicious soldier, and the rest of the people will follow me and attack from the south direction." ”

Zhong Xuan hurriedly said: "Lord, if you attack like this, will it affect those innocent people?" From the perspective of subordinates, let subordinates persuade Li Yizi. ”

Lin Nandao: "Even if you want to persuade, you have to have the capital, if you don't let Li Yizi believe that our army is coming, how can they accept your persuasion." I can understand Lord Zhong's sympathy for the people, please rest assured, this time it was just a feint to scare Li Yizi, not a real fight. ”

Zhong Xuan said: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates obey the arrangement of the lord." ”

The discussion was decided, and Li Tie, Zhou Cang, Wen Ping, and Liao Hua each led 500 cavalry on a detour, and unknowingly surrounded the five camps at the wharf.

Lin Nan took Chen Dao, Zhong Xuan, and 1,500 Ma Bujun to the south, and when the other four directions were ready to send people to inform Lin Nan, Lin Nan began to launch a feint attack on the soldiers near the dock.

There are five camps, Gongsun Fan and Li Yizi are drinking in the middle of the camp, and there are two beautiful women waiting to drink by their side. When the two of them were drinking happily, they suddenly heard a noisy shout coming from the south direction, Gongsun Fan was more alert, and immediately heard the sound of horses' hooves during the period, so he immediately ran out of the camp, just in front of the soldier who came to report, immediately grabbed the man's collar, and asked loudly, "What happened outside?" ”

The soldier replied tremblingly, "General Qiyu, it's cavalry...... Linnan's cavalry is coming......"

"How many people came?"

"It's hard to tell the night, I can't see clearly, I just feel that there are ...... everywhere"

Gongsun Fan pushed the soldier away with all his might, and said to Li Yizi in the tent: "Come out, Lin Nan's soldiers and horses have arrived." Lead the troops to fight! ”

Li Yizi has always been a businessman, he has no ability, and his subordinates are okay to deal with ordinary people, but he doesn't have that momentum when dealing with the army from his heart. As soon as he heard that Lin Nan's soldiers and horses had arrived, the whole person was taken aback, and he couldn't think of what was going on even if he wanted to break his head.

Gongsun Fan entered the tent and took his own iron spear. He summoned a horse outside the tent, and ordered the men in the camp who had just been trained for less than ten days, and led them out of the camp towards the gate of the village to the south.

Five camps are united into one, forming a large camp, the east is the sea, only a walled gate is opened to the south, Gongsun Fan took the lead, led the grass created by the soldiers to pull Li Yizi and his private soldiers all to the walled gate.

Suddenly. Loud shouts sounded in the north, northwest, west, and southwest directions at the same time, which were consistent with the Lin Nan soldiers and horses displayed in front of the walled gate, and jointly shocked the soldiers in the battalion.

The people in the camp were all panicked, they all thought that they were surrounded by the group, even Li Yizi was frightened and almost fell off the horse, those people who were unwilling to be soldiers retreated without a fight at this time, and Li Yizi's private soldiers were also terrified.

Lin Nan led the army Chen soldiers outside the gate of the village, and when he saw the soldiers in the camp, he began to panic. A smile appeared on his face. For these rabble, in his eyes, they are not even as good as those who make yellow scarves.

"The lord is really a genius. With only the strategy of suspicious soldiers, everyone in the enemy is in danger, and the camp has begun to be chaotic, so it is better to kill the generals now, and they will definitely be able to take Gongsun Fan's head. "Chen Zhi is sincere in his meritorious service, and he said to Lin Nandao.

Lin Nan waved his hand. Said: "No, this one doesn't need to use knives and guns to deal with them, let the soldiers all shout together, as long as Gongsun Fan is handed over, they can be spared from death." ”

Chen Dao and Zhong Xuan pondered for a moment. They all bowed their hands together and said, "The lord is wise." ”

In the camp, Gongsun Fan saw that the soldiers had begun to be chaotic, and killed three people in a row, which did not play a role at all.

At this time, there were sudden shouts outside the camp, saying that they had been surrounded by an army of 30,000, and the crime was only Gongsun Fan, and everyone who was handed over to Gongsun Fan would not die.

Li Yizi listened to it sincerely, although he and Gongsun Zhan were brothers, but he knew very well in his heart that they were using each other. When Gongsun Zhan went to Huimeng, Gongsun Fan stayed in Youbeiping, and was later attacked by Zhang He with his troops, Gongsun Fan took advantage of the chaos to escape, hid in Li Yizi's house, and instigated Li Yizi to occupy the Quanzhou Iron Works and Salt Factory, and later bewitched Li Yizi to recruit people to train soldiers in the name of building a wharf. At this moment, he saw that Gongsun Fan's plan was completely exposed, and in order to survive, he couldn't control so much.

Gongsun Fan rode on horseback, stabbed two more people to death with a spear, and shouted loudly: "Don't mess around! Whoever messes up again will end up ...... with them."

The voice was suddenly interrupted, and then a scream came, and more than a dozen people who were beside Gongsun Fan raised their spears and stabbed Gongsun Fan to death together.

Li Yizi originally wanted to kill Gongsun Fan to protect himself, but he knew that those people would be one step ahead of him, he saw those people who were out of control holding the weapons in their hands and looking at him with hideous faces, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and shouted loudly: "I surrender, I surrender, I was forced, it was Gongsun Fan who held me hostage......"

There was another scream, and the angry people raised their knives and guns and directly killed Li Yizi. Seeing this, the private soldiers were afraid of being retaliated against by these people, so they threw down their weapons and ran out of the camp, knelt in front of Lin Nan and others, and shouted surrender.

The things in the camp have exceeded Lin Nan, Chen Zhi, and Zhong Xuan's imagination, where did they think that they didn't have to do it themselves at all, so they killed Gongsun Fan and Li Yizi, and saw that those private soldiers came to surrender, and those people also followed suitably to surrender, Lin Nan asked Chen Zhi to lead people to collect weapons.

Lin Nan said to himself: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, I can see it with my own eyes today......

Zhong Xuan didn't understand what he heard, so he asked, "Lord, what does this mean?" ”

Lin Nan explained: "The people are like water, and the people who rule them are boats, if they do the opposite, they will be counterattacked by the people, and I am talking about such a truth." ”

Zhong Xuan understood, and immediately said to Lin Nan: "Don't worry, since the lord handed over Yuyang County to his subordinates, his subordinates must govern Yuyang County well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment." There will be no such thing again. ”

Lin Nan was very relieved to hear this, and didn't say anything.

In peacetime, Lin Nanbing disintegrated Li Yizi and Gongsun Fan bloodlessly last night, and he handed over all the 3,000 private soldiers he had collected to Liao Hua's commander, and the rest of the more than 9,000 people were all hired to build a wharf. and the distribution of money and food.

In the camp, Lin Nan gathered all the generals and said to the generals: "Everyone worked hard last night, and when I return to Jicheng, I will definitely reward you well." ”

"Serve the Lord, we have no regrets!" They all replied together.

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Lord Zhong, the population of Yongnu County has always been very small, there have been plagues there before, and the county seat has basically become a dead city. Yongnu and Jeonju are both small counties, and both are close to the sea, so I plan to merge Yongnu and Jeonju into one, and set up an important town here to prevent Gongsun Chan of Bohai County from harassing them, so I will call this place Shangjing. ”

Zhong Xuan said: "The subordinates don't have any opinions, it's just that such an important town must be guarded by heavy soldiers." It also needs to be guarded by good generals, and Shisun You is not a good general. I also pray that the Lord will send a competent man to guard here. ”

Lin Nandao: "I have already chosen the candidate, Liao Hua is very good in this incident, and he is worthy of being one of my eighteen hussars in Youzhou, and I plan to hand over Shangjing to Liao Hua to guard." Shangjing will become an important town independently, and like Fan Yang, it will directly accept my jurisdiction. Row out from Yuyang County. Lord Zhong devoted himself to governing Yuyang, and Liao Hua guarded Shangjing, one south and one north, wouldn't it be wonderful? ”

Zhong Xuan said: "The subordinates don't have any opinions. ”

Liao Hua said: "Thank you lord, my subordinates must guard Shangjing." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Li Tie." You, the captain of the military guard, will obey Liao Hua's dispatch for the time being, and you don't need to bring back the 3,000 cavalry, just add the original 1,000 soldiers here and the 3,000 private soldiers who surrendered, a total of 7,000 people, and set up a checkpoint at the junction with Bohai County to guard this place well. ”

"No!"

"Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Zhou Cang, the three of you will return to Jicheng with me after I finish renovating the iron factory."

"No!"

In the next few days, the wharf was built under the leadership of Shisun You, and Liao Hua and Li Tie began to take charge of Shangjing, and sent scouts to the border with Bohai County.

When the transformation of the iron factory was completed, Lin Nan took Chen Zhi, Wen Ping, and Zhou Cang back to Jicheng, and handed over all the military and political power of Shangjing to Liao Hua.

Jicheng, Beiwutang.

The Beiwu Hall that has just been decorated shows a mighty atmosphere, the hall of the Beiwu Hall is full of all kinds of weapons, a "Wu" word is carved vividly on the wall in the center, there is a group of officers with the rank of military Sima standing around, and there are two men in strong uniforms standing in the middle, one old and one young, holding a blade and standing there.

The old man was holding a phoenix-beaked knife, the young man was holding a halberd, and there were several small halberds in the weapons he carried in his waist.

Suddenly, the old man laughed, threw the big knife in his hand to a military Sima beside him, and said loudly: "General Taishi is really amazing, he has fought against the old man for hundreds of moves, and he actually doesn't know whether he wins or loses, and he can be described as a future life." ”

The person who was called General Taishi was none other than Tai Shici, one of the eighteen hussars in Youzhou, and the old man standing opposite him was Huang Zhong, who was also one of the eighteen hussars. The two of them learned martial arts here, which attracted many subordinates to come to watch, and the subordinates are now dumbfounded, and they still remember the big battle just now.

Tai Shi Ci took the opportunity to throw all the weapons in his hand to the subordinates around him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, walked straight to Huang Zhong, hugged his fists and said: "The old general's body is amazing, his martial arts are strong, and his sword skills are very exquisite, so I can't find the slightest flaw, Tai Shi Ci has never been convinced by anyone, this time I really admire the old general." ”

Huang Zhong was also forced to make a move, Tai Shi Ci standing in front of him was a brave and ruthless person, openly challenged him, if he didn't fight, he just didn't give Tai Shi Ci face, and he had no choice but to have a competition with Tai Shi Ci. Who knows, his battle was inextricably linked to Tai Shi Ci, so he had to re-evaluate Tai Shi Ci, one of the original five tigers under Lin Nan's account.

Tai Shi Ci and Huang Zhong after this competition, they sympathized with each other, and the young and frivolous Tai Shi Ci also seemed to have a special respect for Huang Zhong, and the two praised each other, and they looked at each other and smiled.

"It turns out that the two generals are here, you can teach me to find them!" At this time, a man walked in from outside the martial arts hall of the Beiwu Hall, with a tough body, and there was no trace of his previous injuries at all.

Tai Shici and Huang Zhong went over, and saw that there was a blue-red birthmark on the face, half of the face was a normal skin color, half of the face was blue-red, the eyes were bright, and the forehead was broad. When the two saw this person, they laughed in unison, and arched their hands to the person who came: "It turned out to be General Xu, I don't know what is the matter with the two of us?" ”

The person who came was Xu Huang, he saw that the atmosphere in the martial arts hall was active, and Huang Zhong and Tai Shici were sweaty again, so he said: "Oh, I'm really sorry to disturb the two generals to learn martial arts." It's just that the lord has returned to Jicheng, and now he is convening all the civil and military forces to gather in the council hall of the state governor's mansion, saying that there is something important to order, Wei Yan and the other generals have already gone, and I have specially come to find the two generals. ”

Huang Zhong said: "The lord has summoned, there must be something important to order, Ziyi, let's go quickly." ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded, and walked forward side by side with Huang Zhong with a hint of joy on his face.

Xu Huang saw that Tai Shi Ci and Huang Zhong, two people who were originally a little incompatible, had become very close today, and they didn't understand it a little, so he shook his head, followed behind Tai Shi Ci and Huang Zhong, and walked towards the Zhou Mu Mansion.

The Zhou Mu Mansion, Lin Nan, who had just returned from Shangjing, was on pins and needles, and the incident of Li Yizi made him deeply understand the horror of dissident forces, and if he did not rectify Youzhou in time, he would inevitably be implicated in the future.

The order to gather all the civil and military forces had just been issued, and there were only two people in the council hall, Lin Nan and Shi Sun Rui, and when Lin Nan came back from outside the city, he first found Shi Sun Rui and brought him into the city.

Lin Nan picked up a bowl of hot tea beside him, held the fragrant tea in his hand, tasted two sips, and then said: "Lord Shisun, this is an extraordinary time, and I must get rid of the nine rich merchants, but I have made a reasonable distribution of their family property. Nowadays, you need a lot of expenses in various parts of Youzhou, and I also know that you have spent a lot of money to expand Jicheng, but if Youzhou is unstable, no matter how much money you have, it will also be affected by the rebellion, so I decided to confiscate the property of the nine rich businessmen, I will take the big head, you take the small head, this fund will be used for the construction of Youzhou, and you will make another great contribution to the construction of Youzhou, what do you think? ”

Shi Sunrui had long expected this result, but he had already bought a ticket and got on the boat, if the boat did not dock, if he wanted to go down, he could only jump into the bottomless ocean, and there was only a dead end waiting for him. Since you are on the boat, you have to go all the way to the end, and survival is the most important thing.

Fortunately, he still trusts Lin Nan, otherwise he would not have followed Lin Nan to Youzhou, and this time Lin Nan came back from Shangjing and told him about his son's absurdity, he felt that Lin Nan was lucky that he didn't deal with his son. Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, pay first and then return, has long become his unique business characteristics. He immediately asked: "It is all up to the lord to make the decision, even if he makes his subordinates bankrupt, his subordinates will not hesitate to do so." (To be continued......)
