"The King...... It's not me, I'm wronged, it's the king himself who is careless...... Regardless of my business, please spare your life! The soap-clothed messenger hurriedly knelt on the ground, a burst of horror on his face, and hurriedly defended.

Bogu was angry, he couldn't care what was going on with others, and directly ordered the soap-clothed messenger to be executed, and the poor soap-clothed messenger became a dead soul under the knife.

After Bogu killed the messenger in soap, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in, and after seeing this scene, only a trace of fear appeared on his face, and then he regained his calm, and walked directly in front of Bogu, and said: "See the king, the Han army has begun to attack the city, there are in all directions, I don't know how many enemies there are, I have come to ask the king to come to the city gate to command." ”

Bogu said: "Let all the soldiers in the city ...... Oops......"

"What's wrong with you, King?" The person who came was the addition of Goguryeo, that is, the official position of the prime minister, and he saw that Bogu was grinning and there was a bruise on his head, so he hurriedly asked.

"The king fell down just now......," one of the attendants hurriedly replied, but did not dare to say anything more.

When he heard the smell of alcohol on Bogu's body, he thought to himself that Bogu was already drunk, so how could he command the battle. So, he was bold and said loudly: "The king's body is important, but now the Han army is attacking the city, and his subordinates can't figure out where the main force of the Han army is......

Bogu has always liked to talk to Xiangjia, and when he saw that Xiangjia took the initiative to propose, he nodded and said, "As soon as I ask Xiangjia, please go and release Yiyimo and let him go to the city to command the battle." ”

He added: "No! ”

At the same time outside the city of the country. Lin Nan took Xu You, Sima Lang, and Ouyang Yinying to the watchtower, looked at the domestic city not far ahead, and opened his mouth to ask: "The strategy of the military advisor is very clever, and now the Goguryeo people have been dizzy. ”

Xu Yu said: "Lord, my subordinates think that the iron should be struck while it is hot." If we can increase our forces at this time and concentrate on attacking the city, we will definitely be able to conquer the inner city tonight. ”

Lin Nandao: "I naturally know this, but this is not the result I want, what I want is to make the Goguryeo people surrender without a single soldier." ”

"The lord is benevolent and has a strong heart, if he can subdue the Goguryeo people, the entire Dongyi will not dare to do anything." Sima Lang took the opportunity to pat Lin Nan's ass.

Xu You glared at Sima Lang fiercely, and thought to himself, "You yellow-haired boy." I don't usually talk much, but at the critical moment, I slapped the lord's ass......"

Lin Nan stared intently at the shape in front of him, and saw that Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, and Chen Zhi had a tacit understanding that the four armies were cooperating, attacking here, retreating there, retreating there, and the other side began to attack in time, making the Goguryeo people who were defending dizzy. The reinforcements in the city were also exhausted and out of breath, and they didn't know which direction to go for reinforcements.

It was a long time later. After asking the soldiers who were defending the city, he already had a plan in his heart, and immediately said to the addition who was standing beside him: "Xiangjia, please order all the soldiers to put down their guards immediately, the Han army is a feint." Intended to exhaust us on our own, it is actually a harassment tactic. ”

In addition, he was a wise man of Goguryeo, but compared with Yiyimo, who had been influenced by Han culture, his intelligence was low. After listening to Yimo's words, he pondered carefully. felt that Yi Yimo's analysis was very reasonable, so he turned to several soap-clothed messengers behind him and said, "Order the whole army, stand by in place!" ”

"Also...... Let the soldiers open the gates! Yiyimo added.

"Hit ...... Open the gates? He was amazed and hurriedly asked, "Your Royal Highness, is this ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? ”

Yiyimo said: "Xiangga, you are the wise man of my Goguryeo, as the so-called wise man sees wisdom, don't you still see clearly the shape that Goguryeo is facing now?" Since Lin Nan arrived in Youzhou, the situation in the entire Liaodong has changed, first Wuhuan attached to Lin Nan, and then he was in charge of Youzhou, and then Xianbei and Fuyu are friendly with Lin Nan, our Goguryeo era is no more, the people in the country are also eager for a peaceful period, the era of the fathers and ancestors to fight is over, we should conform to the people's will and become a conformist under the general trend, only in this way, we Goguryeo people can be proudly preserved. ”

Ji Jia is also a smart person, so he naturally heard Yi Yimo's words, and asked tentatively: "Your Royal Highness, do you want to open the city and surrender?" ”

Yiyimo nodded: "Surrender is the only way out for Goguryeo now, maybe Goguryeo will no longer exist, but the people of Goguryeo are still alive." I have heard that Lin Nam has a great tolerance heart, and if we can adapt to the general trend of Goguryeo, he will definitely give us Goguryeo people a piece of land to live on. ”

After listening to Yimo's words, he only sighed softly and asked, "Isn't there any other way?" Goguryeo is the result of the efforts of our ancestors for many generations, is it possible that they have just succumbed to the Han people, and the fierce, warlike, and brave Goguryeo people are going to end like this? ”

"It's over, only those who adapt to the times can last for a long time, and the more than 100-year campaign between us and the Han Dynasty should come to a successful end." Yiyimo said earnestly.

He added: "But the king ......"

"My father was brutal all his life, and it was also a blessing for him to have such an ending." Yiyimo turned his head to look at Jiajia, and said softly, "Xiangjia, open the city gate, open the city and surrender!" ”

Xiang Jia said helplessly: "No! ”

It was a bright and fresh morning, the small clouds in the light blue clear sky with small white waves, the crystal dew drops were scattered on the grass stems and leaves, the moist black soil was no longer visible traces of last night's chaos, the walls of the domestic city were full of "high" flags, and the soldiers of the Han army stood straight on the city tower, looking so mighty.

In the palace, Lin Nanduan sat on the throne of the king of Goguryeo, looking at this magnificent hall, which was more luxurious than his state residence in Jicheng.

"Take Bogu!" Lin Nan looked around at the golden hall and shouted solemnly.

As soon as the voice fell, I saw two strong men pushing Bogu into the main hall, and the two sides of the main hall were full of people. They all stared at the fat Bogu with a pair of eyes, and some of their eyes were full of hatred......

"You're Bogu?" Lin Nan glanced at the obese Bogu, with a hint of contempt in his words, he thought that the king of Goguryeo was a rough and stylish strong man, but he thought that he was just a fat man covered in wounds.

Bogu had been reduced to a prisoner, and looked around at the people standing in the main hall. In addition to seeing the Han people brought by Lin Nan, I also saw the Fuyu people, as well as a few Goguryeo people such as Yiyimo. He snorted coldly and said loudly: "This king is Bogu, if I knew which rabbit cub opened the city gate, I wouldn't let him go." ”

"Father, I am the one who opened the gates!" Yiyi Mo stepped forward and said unabashedly......

Bogu was taken aback, never expecting that Dao Yimo would openly rebel. His face was red with anger and his neck was thick, and he pointed at Yi Yi and was speechless.

"This is the trend of the times, we can't go against the general trend, no matter what you think of me in your heart, I just want you to know that I do this every time to protect our Goguryeo people." With that, Yimo retreated back to his place. Never say half a word again.

"Bogu! You should be glad you have such a good son, if it weren't for Yimo. At this moment, the domestic city will set off a bloody storm. Lin Nan said loudly.

Pegu didn't answer, just stood there with his head downcast, but from time to time his eyes caught a glimpse of the other four Goguryeo tribes of Goguryeo who stood with Iyimo, as well as his most trusted Ranga...... After a long time, he let out a long sigh and looked up. Looking at Lin Nan, he bowed with Han etiquette: "Since I have become General Lin's prisoner, I have nothing to say, and now the only hope is to die." ”

"Well, I'll fulfill you. I'll leave you a whole corpse. Lin Nan's gaze squinted at Yi Yimo's body, and seeing Yi Yimo's indifference, he didn't seem to care about the life and death of his biological father, so he asked, "Yi Yimo, Bogu is your biological father, don't you intercede for him?" ”

Yiyimo stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Bogu has been brutal all his life, and it is already the greatest honor given by the general to have a whole corpse." What's more, what Bogu has done can only be punished by death......"

"What a righteous Yiyimo, then I won't ask more. Someone, take Bogu down, and execute tomorrow! ”

"No!"

The soldier took Bergo down, but Bergu laughed incessantly, and there was a bit of mockery in his laughter, and the object of his ridicule was himself.

The hall was calm again, Lin Nanduan sat on the throne, and said loudly: "Now that the war is over, the rest is the post-war matter, Goguryeo has completely surrendered, and then all the territory of Goguryeo has been incorporated into Youzhou and accepted the direct control of Youzhou, and from now on, Goguryeo cannot claim to be a country, but can only exist as a tribe, and the people are all incorporated into Youzhou, and enjoy the same rights and interests as the people of the Han people." In my opinion, Goguryeo will be renamed the Goli tribe, Prince Yiyimo, all the ancient hyinas, what do you think? ”

Iyimo had expected this outcome at the beginning of the surrender, and he didn't have any opinions, and the other Gu Hina basically didn't have any opinions, and both of them said in unison: "Obey the general's orders......"

"No, no......" Huqiutai suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "This is not fair, this crusade against Goguryeo, our husband and the rest of us also have a share, and the general should return to us the land in the Liaoshan area that Goguryeo had robbed us of before." ”

When Lin Nan saw that Hu Qiutai was asking him for territory, he was very unhappy. Along the way, the rest of the people basically did not participate in the battle, all of them gave him a strong momentum, and as soon as he let Huqiutai lead the troops into battle, Huqiutai shirked because he was afraid of the Goguryeo people, so Lin Nan sneered at Huqiutai......

He was unhappy in his heart, but his face was very kind, and he said with a smile: "This matter is easy to say, but I don't know when the Liaoshan area was taken away by Goguryeo?" ”

Hu Qiutai didn't think about it, opened his mouth and replied: "About ten years ago......"

"Oh, it's been so long, and you don't seem to have asked Goguryeo for ten years, right? I have here a map of Goguryeo, which clearly shows that the area around Liaoshan is the territory of the Goguryeo people. Now that the Goguryeo people have surrendered to me and begged for their return, then all their territory will naturally belong to me. However, I won't let you come for nothing, I've got three carts of gifts ready. I hope you go back to bring King Fuyu, which can be regarded as my gratitude to your Fuyu for helping the army. ”

As soon as Hu Qiutai heard that there was a gift, the whole person became overjoyed, and he brought troops this time to personally accept the order of his brother, who was the king of Fuyu, to avoid casualties as much as possible. Don't just meet the enemy...... A hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said: "I have thanked the general for my king, and if the general has any use for us in the future, we will definitely help from the side." ”

Lin Nan knew Hu Qiutai's thoughts very well, Hu Qiutai didn't put his mind on any bullshit territory at all, they didn't care about the Liaoshan area for a long time, for their husbands, the existing land made it difficult for their people to live completely. It's really sparsely populated, and I just want to take some advantage from it.

After that, Lin Nan had a polite talk with Huqiutai, and asked Bian Xi to send Huqiutai away first, and gave him three carts of silver...... In addition, Lin Nan asked Sima Lang, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping to arrange the handover between Yiyimo and the Goguryeo people, and the hall was suddenly empty.

"Lord, now that Gao Li has surrendered, we will continue to stay here. Or withdraw troops back to Jicheng? Huang Zhong is fascinated by the story of Sun Wukong, and he hopes to go back to listen to Guan Hai's story. The stories he knew were told to his subordinates, and there was nothing to tell in the future. However, he didn't know that the story told by Guan Hai actually came from Lin Nan.

Lin Nan said: "Don't worry, the aftermath must be done well, I want to talk about the five tribes of the Gaoli people who have migrated to five different places, and you have to supervise them to complete this matter." After these aftermath are completed, we will return to Jicheng. ”

"I don't know what will happen after Sun Wukong is crushed under Wuzhi Mountain......" Huang Zhong thought slowly in his mind......

After the meeting, Lin Nan and everyone were busy with the aftermath, and counted all the four tribes of Gao Li, and then sent Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, and Chu Yan each with 2,000 soldiers to escort Gao Li's people out of the domestic city. went to Yunzhou, let these Gaoli people who were familiar with the mountains and forests live on the grassland, and accept the direct jurisdiction of Zhang He. Lin Nan also deliberately left Yiyimo and his Guilou tribe to continue to stay in the domestic city, and selected Yiyimo to be the lord of the city.

At the same time, in order to be foolproof, Lin Nan specially left Hu Yu, who was recuperating from his injuries, and let him, who was familiar with the living habits of the Dongyi people, serve as General Anton, and let Wang Wenjun and Yiyi Mo assist Hu Yu, and especially left Bai Yu, Shi Jie, Li Yulin, Sun Qing and others as his generals......

These aftermath matters need to be handled by Lin Nan personally, and he unknowingly spent half a month in the domestic city. In the past half a month, the Dongyi people who learned that Gao Li was officially attached to Lin Nan have sent envoys to contact Lin Nan and offer cherished gifts as a symbol of good fortune.

Lin Nan directly rejected these gifts from the Dongyi people, and clearly told their envoys that either they would surrender to him and completely annex them to Youzhou, or he would come to the city.

The resolute attitude of Lin Nan immediately caused everyone in Dongyi to endanger themselves, and the people who were originally affiliated with Goguryeo, such as Beiwofu, Dongwofu, and Rulou, expressed their willingness to accept Linnan's construction and completely annex the territory to Youzhou. In addition, the three Koreas, which had been in a state of division, also expressed their dependence on Linnan, so that the ethnic minorities in the entire Korean Peninsula and a large area of Liaodong were all attached to Linnan except for Fuyu, and they expressed their willingness to merge the land into Youzhou of the Han Dynasty and accept the rule of Youzhou Mu.

As a result, Lin Nam added Hanseong-gun on the Korean Peninsula, brought all the people of Samhan under the rule of Hanseong-gun, and asked the small countries of Samhan to elect county officials and report them to General Andong Hu Yu for ruling. He divided the original territory of Goguryeo into Tonghua County, set up Huanren County in the area of Susheng Gucheng, Ji'an County in the area of the domestic city, and Hailong County in the area of Liaoshan.

In addition, Hungang County was added to govern the people north of Goguryeo and Northern Wofu, and Yanji County was added to manage the Rulou people living near the Ussuri River, and the sphere of influence was directly extended to the Songhua River and Changbai Mountain. Due to the remoteness of the city, Lin Nan asked the people of Yanji to exercise self-government in Yanji County, set up their own counties, and let these people who had lived in the mountains and forests for a long time build their own cities.

A month later, all the aftermath work had been completed, and Lin Nan only returned to Jicheng with the soldiers of the Feiyu Army, and entrusted the entire Liaodong to Hu Yu, and specially sent someone to ask for a group of Confucian scholars who were good at internal affairs from Jicheng to serve as the county magistrate for Hu Yu.

Therefrom. The entire Dongyi was completely pacified, the situation in the entire Liaodong was temporarily restored, and Lin Nan also returned to Jicheng with a tired army at the end of June, and rewarded all the soldiers who participated in the battle of Dongyi, and the entire Youzhou was completely calm.

Outside the east gate of Jicheng, Jia Xu led the civil and military teams at all levels in Jicheng to welcome Lin Nan's return. Under the scorching summer sun, everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat, but they were still looking forward to it, looking at the official road in the east, looking forward to seeing the lord who had not seen him for nearly three months.

Lin Nan led the army to Liaodong at the end of March, and returned at the end of June, leaving the rear of Youzhou completely calm, although the Fuyu Kingdom still existed. But in the face of Lin Nan, who was in full swing, he could only rely on Lin Nan as a vassal country, and under Lin Nan's protection, he was able to avoid the iron hooves of the Xianbei people.

Jia Xu frowned, his face was gloomy, these three months are not long, and they are not short, facing Gongsun Zhan, who is eyeing the soldiers in Bohai County, Jizhou, and the aggressiveness of Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao. He spent a lot of brainpower trying to solve these provocative things.

Layers of heat rose on the horizon, and Jia Xu's eyes were a little blurred. He stood motionless under the scorching sun, his body supported by unwavering faith.

"Strategist, you've been standing here for more than an hour, why don't you take a break in the shade of a tree on the side of the road?" Lin Yang stood behind Jia Xu and asked in a low voice.

"No, the lord will be back soon. How can I let my lord see that I am rude? Jia Xu didn't look back, squirmed his lips that were about to dry up, and said slowly, "Fan Yang, Shangjing, haven't there been any news yet?" ”

Lin Yang said: "Not for the time being." Tai Shici and Xun Chen have already led troops to Beijing, and Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and Guo Jia have also taken their troops to Fanyang. I believe there shouldn't be any problems. What's more, Lu Heng and Liao Hua are both generals who are the lord's relatives, and they will definitely be able to see the shape clearly. ”

Jia Xu said: "Having said that, but Yuan Shao's account has many strategists, since he wants to attack Youzhou, he will definitely continue to create friction, this month is difficult for Lu Heng and Liaohua, the two important towns have just been built, and they are located at the junction with Jizhou, the people's will will definitely fluctuate a lot, which is extremely unfavorable to our army." But as long as the lord returns, he will definitely be able to deter Yuan Shao and build a peaceful day for Youzhou, only in this way can Youzhou double its strength. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lin Yang's heart gradually ignited his fighting spirit, and secretly thought: "What the lord said is right, Jia Xu is indeed a person worthy of trust, in the three months that the lord has left, Youzhou has changed a lot, and this qiē is all thanks to Jia Xu's contributions, which is really a good look." ”

There was a crisp sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Lin Nan's sturdy figure emerged from the heat wave rising on the horizon, followed by endless Han cavalry, and a neatly arranged cavalry team was slowly driving towards Jicheng.

"It's finally back...... Jia Xu's frowning brows finally relaxed, and a trace of joy appeared on his face, he raised his hand high and shouted loudly, "Play music!" ”

The propaganda team, which could not stand the scorching sun, came out from the shade of the trees on the side of the road, lined up in formation, and began to play the joyful song of returning victoriously, which also made the dreary weather cheerful.

Jia Xu took Lin Yang, Shisun Rui and other civil and military officials in Jicheng to greet Lin Nan's return together, and at the same time worshipped: "Subordinates and others welcome the triumphant return of the lord!" ”

Lin Nan rode a horse and looked at the civil and military officials who came to greet him, and found that there were many fewer people who should have been in Jicheng. Turning over and dismounting, he walked straight to Jia Xu, personally told Jia Xu to help him up, and took Jia Xu's hand and walked side by side towards the city.

In the past three months, the expansion of Jicheng has been completed, and now in front of Lin Nan and the soldiers who returned triumphantly, there is a huge towering city, with straight and wide streets paved with cement, a huge city gate, and various buildings and facilities in the city, as well as the people who are active at the gate of the city gate to watch, all of which have undergone great changes.

"Strategist, I've worked hard for you in the past three months, such a large city, I didn't expect it to be completed in just three months, it's really surprising to me." Lin Nan walked forward slowly, and at the same time sighed after seeing the new Jicheng.

Jia Xu said: "The subordinates don't dare to be greedy for merit, this credit is all Shisun Rui's, and the subordinates are just adding fuel to the fire." ”

"Well, I've heard Bian Xi say that you want to speed up the construction project. He did not hesitate to use 150,000 people to build this city, if it were not for the large number of people, how could such a huge project be completed in just three months, and the military advisor should not be modest. ”

Jia Xu was no longer polite, his voice changed, and he whispered to Lin Nan: "In the three months that the lord has left. The situation in the Central Plains has changed dramatically......"

"By the way, what is the result of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou?" When Lin Nan heard Jia Xu talk about the Central Plains, he immediately remembered that the reason why he went to crusade against Goguryeo and pacify Dongyi was entirely because Cao Cao's troops sent to Xuzhou.

"Lord Qi, Cao Cao, under the banner of avenging his father, led the army to Xuzhou, burning and looting along the way. slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, making Xuzhou a place where ghosts gathered. Later, Tao Qian suddenly fell ill and died, and Liu Bei succeeded as the pastor of Xuzhou, who originally wanted to negotiate peace with Cao Cao, but he knew that Cao Cao did not appreciate it at all, and the soldiers still pointed to Xuzhou. The two armies fought a month-long war at Xiaopei, which ended in Liu Bei's defeat, and Xuzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao. And Liu Bei led the remnants to take refuge in Yuan Shao. ”

"Take refuge in Yuan Shao? Liu Da'er took refuge in Yuan Shao? Lin Nan said in a little surprise.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." After Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao with the remnants of 3,000 soldiers, he wanted to go south to Huainan to join Yuan Shu, but was intercepted by Cao Cao. With the road blocked, Liu Bei could only seek refuge in Yuan Shao, who had already occupied Qingzhou. ”

Lin Nan frowned, he deeply felt Yuan Shao's strength, Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei's joining. It will inevitably make Yuan Shao's ambitions inflated. Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei are both from Youzhou, he and Gongsun Chan are still in the hostile stage, and they once refused Liu Bei to rescue Xuzhou, if these three people work together to peek into Youzhou together. That Youzhou will be in danger.

Jia Xu saw that Lin Nan fell into deep thought, and then said: "In the past month, some suspicious people have often appeared in Fanyang and Shangjing, and they are constantly collecting the situation in Youzhou. When he learned that the lord went to pacify Dongyi, Yan Liang of Yuan Shao's army had led his troops to break into the territory of Fanyang, if it weren't for Lu Heng to see through Yuan Shao's provocation and defuse it, I am afraid that in the past month, Youzhou, which had finally stabilized down, would fall into chaos again. ”

Lin Nan didn't say anything, just frowned, and walked side by side with Jia Xu on the newly built streets of Jicheng, followed by the soldiers who returned triumphantly and the civil and military officials who came to greet them.

As soon as you enter Jicheng, the people of Jicheng are standing on both sides of the street to welcome, and the expanded Jicheng has attracted many people, gradually enriching the population of Jicheng.

In the face of the cheers of the people and the congratulations of the hundred officials, Lin Nan's heart was still calm, but it was necessary to make a gesture of waving his hand and give the people a smile, nothing more.

Unknowingly, Lin Nan and Jia Xu walked all the way to the inner city. The inner city is the original Jicheng, in the entire expanded Jicheng, it has become a small city independently, it is clearly a city within a city, and after some repairs, the original relatively dilapidated inner city is now showing a new city in front of everyone, and even the words on the city gate have been replaced, replaced by two strong and powerful characters - Yan Guo.

When Lin Nan saw this Yancheng, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and then it disappeared, in exchange for endless melancholy.

"As the Marquis of Yan, the lord ruled all the lands of the ancient Yan country, and even Dongyi surrendered under the rule of the lord, and led the land to surrender, which is an unprecedented achievement, as the ruler of millions of people, if the country is not opened, it is difficult to convince everyone." Jia Xu explained beside Lin Nan.

"Yuan Shao, who was named Marquis of Zhao, did he start the country in Jizhou?" Lin Nan asked.

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shao's kind of person, as soon as he was named the Marquis of Zhao, he immediately said that Yecheng was set as the capital, and opened the Zhao State, ruling the entire Jizhou, otherwise, the world is likely to present a situation of disputes among the pre-Qin countries......

"Strife among the nations? What do you mean by that? Lin Nan suddenly became interested and asked directly.

Jia Xu hurriedly explained: "In the three months that the lord has been gone, the world has not changed much. In order to win the hearts of the princes of the Kwantung region, Ma Teng did not hesitate to seal the marquis, and the marquis who shrunk were all ancient princes who could rule the place and become the overlord of one party. Lü Bu was named Marquis of Jin, Liu Biao was named Marquis of Chu, Sun Jian was named Marquis of Wu, Cao Cao was named Marquis of Wei, Yuan Shu was named Marquis of Song, and Liu Yan was named Marquis of Shu. Coupled with the Yan Hou of the Lord Gong, the Zhao Hou of Yuan Shao, and the Liang Hou of Ma Teng, there are nine ancient princes in the world, and all the people who have been named the ancient princes have opened the country, so that there will be a situation of disputes among the nine countries. ”

"Alas!" Lin Nan sighed heavily and said slowly. "Ma Teng is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, although he is so wanton to seal the marquis, although it is out of order to alleviate the contradictions of the Kwantung princes, but it has also pushed the entire Han Dynasty into the point of no return, and the people of other marquis countries will take this as the cornerstone and want to climb to the Ninety-Five Honor."

Jia Xu said: "Ma Teng's unintentional move to insert willows is not a good thing. At least this can show that the Han Emperor was completely ignored in the hands of Ma Teng, because he did not have the talent for governance and did not have any political vision. only pays attention to the immediate interests, and does not know the use of coercing the Son of Heaven to make the world. However, in this way, for the lord, he can justifiably compete for hegemony, and he no longer has to be bound by the holy decree of the Han Dynasty. ”

"I'm afraid that there are no longer a few people who think like you. Now that things have come to this point, I don't need to open the country directly under the guise of guarding the Han family. Since I am Yanhou, the country name is Yan. After the world is pacified, I am taking a country name that the ancients never had. Lin Nan's heart immediately ignited with fighting spirit, and his eyes seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Jia Xuyin said with a smile: "The subordinates have already said that everything has been done, just wait for the lord to come back this time." Lord, let's go into the Yanhou Mansion now, and there are still some important political affairs to discuss with the lord. ”

Lin Nan nodded. With a big stride, he walked into the inner city of Jicheng.

Yanhou Mansion has been expanded and renovated on the basis of the State Pastoral Mansion, and has become larger than before, and it is also magnificent, and it has more majesty that "Hou" should have.

In the hall of Yanhou Mansion. Jia Xu told Lin Nan about the changes under his management in the past three months, which can be regarded as a kind of work report.

After listening to Jia Xu's quarterly work report, Lin Nan was very satisfied with Jia Xu's handling of military and political affairs, and also learned from Jia Xu's mouth that with the joint efforts of Zhang He and Shisun You, Yunzhou has become an important place of commerce and trade open to the outside world, and those Xianbei people and Huns will come to Yunzhou to trade.

Shisun You also gave full play to their unique business talents in this regard, selling cheap silk to the Xianbei people and Xiongnu people at high prices, but buying horses, furs, iron and other items from the Xianbei people and Xiongnu people at low prices. Zhang He was responsible for the safety of the entire Yunzhou, and also recruited a scattered Hu people on the spot, saying that this Hu people, who numbered about 3,000 people, were trained to become a ranger galloping outside the Saiwai.

In addition, the production of steel in steel plants is also rising, and the mass production of weapons and equipment has brought the possibility of equipping all armies. This year, the people also got a bumper harvest, and Jia Xu also asked people to build water conservancy thoroughly, encouraged the people to carry out tuntian, and also encouraged the people to have children.

After learning about the changes that have taken place in the past three months, Lin Nan has more trust in Jia Xu. So he asked: "Military advisor, in another ten days, after Tian Feng and Xun You return from the inspection of various counties, I will open the country, and you will be the prime minister, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Lord, my subordinates have been almost exhausted in dealing with government affairs for three months, and their subordinates are good at planning, and the post of Minister of State is Hou's right and left hand, handling cumbersome government affairs for Hou, and his subordinates feel that Tian Feng is far higher than his subordinates in handling government affairs, and his subordinates feel that Tian Feng is more suitable for the post of Minister of State." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "I will follow the recommendation of the military advisor, but in this way, wouldn't the official position of the military advisor be under Tian Feng?" ”

"As long as the lord says that his subordinates are in the first place, the official position is not important to his subordinates, and his subordinates would rather not have official positions, but only concentrate on assisting the lord."

"That's not possible, as the so-called name is not right, it is not good, as the chief military advisor of my think tank, how can you not have any official position?"

"That'...... Then ask the lord to give his subordinates a vacant position, and put those talented talents in the position that suits them, I heard that Cai Yong has recruited a group of well-educated people. In order to develop Liaodong, the lord transferred a group of people from Youzhou, which made various important positions in Youzhou vacant, and his subordinates thought that it would come in handy at this time. ”

Lin Nan said: "Okay, then according to what you mean, as for the false position, let me think about it, and wait for ten days before deciding." ”

"No!" Jia Xu replied, "Then the subordinates won't bother the lord, the lord has been tired all the way, so it's better to rest." ”

"Well, you go, pay more attention to the movements of Jizhou, and pay close attention to Yuan Shao's every move."

In the 87th year of Goguryeo, the tenth day of the seventh month.

The bright midsummer shines on the land of Youzhou, the sky is so clear, and the sun is so brilliant.

At about ten o'clock, the whole Jicheng was empty, all the officials, the army, and the people gathered near a high platform at the southern end of Jicheng.

After the qiē ceremony was completed, Lin Nan set up a grand banquet in Jicheng, invited all the people of Jicheng to participate, and set Jicheng as the capital of Yan State, Bai Jia Xu as the military general, the position is above all the generals, Bai Tian Feng is the minister of state, and the rest of the civil and military official positions remain unchanged, but Yu Lu has been raised a grade.

The Yan State was established, and Lin Nan and all his subordinates jointly signed a table to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and officially registered in the Han Dynasty as the Marquis of Yan State.

On this day, the banner of the word "Yan" in the whole Jicheng covers the sky and the sun, and all the people celebrate the opening of Yan by Lin Nan, and Lin Nan also celebrates with the people on this day.

Half a month later, the news spread throughout the territory of Yan Kingdom, and in this emerging Hou Kingdom, no matter who they were, they felt like they had a home, and they also had more cohesion for Lin Nan, who was the Marquis of Yan.

The Xianbei tribes in the north have sent envoys to Jicheng to congratulate them, and they have also expressed their willingness to get along with Yan State, so a trade frenzy arose on the northern frontier, and Yunzhou outside the Saiwai also became relatively active and became an important place of commerce.

……

Jizhou, Yecheng, Zhaohou Mansion.

"Lord, Lin Nan opened the Yan Kingdom, and his momentum is like the sky, and he pacified Dongyi and eased the contradiction with the Xianbei people in the north, so that Youzhou is becoming more and more stable, and his subordinates think that if he does not send troops to attack Youzhou at this time, and when Lin Nan completely gains a firm foothold in Youzhou in the future, it will be too late for the lord to regret it."

Yuan Shao, who was the Marquis of Zhao, sat in the hall of the Hou Mansion, and when he heard the words of the match, he nodded: "I had the intention of seizing Youzhou, and I shouldn't have reconciled with Lin Nan in the first place, and I blamed me for listening to Guo Jia's rhetoric, so that I missed the opportunity." ”

The judge hurriedly said: "Lord, it's not too late to send troops at this time, not to mention that at that time, we were invited by Cao Cao to enter Qingzhou in the east, and now we already have the land of two states, if we capture Youzhou, then the entire Jizhou is the lord's world, and when the time comes, with the male of Jizhou, westward and state, sitting on the land of Qingzhou, and, secluded, and Hebei four states, who in the world dare not obey?" ”

Yuan Shao admired the person who was judged, and he sounded more comfortable than others in the words of the trial, and immediately asked: "Lin Nan set up Fanyang and Shangjing at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou, both of which are important towns, and a few days ago Tai Shici, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others led troops to reinforce two important towns, if you want to attack Youzhou, you must first capture these two important towns, I don't know what you have to build?" ”

The judge said: "Bohai Taishou Gong Sun Zan has always been angry about Lin Nan's occupation of Youzhou, and now although he is attached to the lord, he always wants to seize Youzhou in his heart, and he is also an obstacle for the lord. The subordinates thought that it was better to let Gongsun Chan send troops to attack Shangjing, on the one hand, it would consume Lin Nan's troops, and on the other hand, the lord could also use Lin Nan's hand to eradicate Gongsun Chan and reclaim Bohai County into his arms.
