"Haha, what a sitting mountain watching the tiger fight, I have endured Sun Boqi for a long time, I came to see him take him in pitifully, and let him serve as the Bohai Taishou, but I didn't expect him to say that Bohai is his own, nominally my general, but in fact he rarely listens to my orders. The last time he attacked Qingzhou, he got more benefits than mine, which really made me unbearable, if I didn't remove this thorn in my side, I would never be at peace in the territory of Zhao State. Do as you want, and immediately write a letter to Gongsun Zhan, tell him to tell him, and let him attack Shangjing. ”

"No! This is ...... subordinates."

"My lord!" Fu Zhu, who had just walked in from outside, heard Yuan Shao's last words, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly, "My lord, you must not do anything that damages your strength." ”

Yuan Shao saw that he was frustrated, so he asked, "Oh, it's you, you say that I am hurting my strength, what does this mean?" ”

When Han Fu was in power, many of his projects were vetoed by Han Fu, and he was sullen all the time. Later, Yuan Shao persuaded Han Fu to give Jizhou to himself, and took the initiative to ask Fu Zhu for advice, asking how to govern Jizhou's strategy, Fu Zhu was deeply moved, so he decided to work for Yuan Shao, and helped Yuan Shao persuade the Jizhou officials who were still hostile to Yuan Shao, and now the official worships the state minister of Zhao State, and the official position is above all Yuan Shao's advisers.

"Lord, although Gongsun Chan stole Bohai County, but he is still nominally dependent on the lord, although there are many disobedience to the lord's decrees, but Gongsun Chan has an army of 30,000, and his white horse is even more brave and good at fighting, and it is a military force that the lord can rely on. Liu Bei, who is new to take refuge, and Gongsun Zhan are friends, and this person came to take refuge only when he is poor, not sincerely. Although he served as the commander of the letter capital, he was in constant contact with Gongsun Zhan. If the lord asks Gongsun Zan to die at this time, then Liu Bei will inevitably find another place, and Liu Bei's Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have the courage of ten thousand people, and they will definitely be able to become the two swords of the lord in the future. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shao also felt that it made sense. He said directly: "The minister of state is reasonable......

"But my lord, if you don't take advantage of this time to send troops to attack Youzhou, when Lin Nan grows stronger and stronger in the future, it will be difficult to clean up." The judge hurriedly persuaded again.

Yuan Shao then pointed to the trial and said: "The trial is reasonable......

Frustrated, he said: "My lord, I now have 200,000 armor in Zhao State, and the number of troops is the largest in all countries. After a year, it will inevitably increase in strength. The subordinates begged the lord to put the overall situation first, maintain a balance of power with Lin Nan for the time being, and constantly show weakness to Lin Nan in order to confuse Lin Nan. ”

"Lord, Fu Zhu and Lin Nan once had a personal relationship, and he tried his best to delay time to buy time for Lin Nan. The subordinates thought that they should send troops as much as possible. "I'm in a hurry. Since Yuan Shao received the frustration teaching, most of them have adopted the strategy of the frustration teaching, and putting his strategy aside has made his heart feel devastated.

"My frustration towards the lord is visible every day, if there is a little selfishness, let me frustrate the heavens and hit five thunders!" Frustrated and viciously swore a poisonous oath.

Yuan Shao listened to your words and judged you. When I said it, his head was big when he heard it, and he only felt that what the two of them said made sense, but for a while he didn't know which person's strategy to choose, so he was stunned there.

At this time. Guo Tu walked in from the outside, and immediately felt that the atmosphere in the hall was abnormal, so he hurriedly bowed: "See the lord!" ”

Yuan Shao saw Guo Tu coming, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and said loudly: "You came just in time, tell me quickly, which person's construction should I use." The trial persuaded me to send troops to Youzhou, and I was advised to suspend it for a year, I don't know what you have to do? ”

Guo Tu is an old yin with a bad stomach. He first glanced at his sworn enemy, then at the frustration, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and immediately said: "Enlighten the lord, the plan of the minister of the state is a long-term plan, and it is a big strategy that focuses on the overall situation. ”

From the moment Guo Tu came in, he knew that his strategy would not be adopted, he was very friendly with Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Shang, and Guo Tu had a close relationship with Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, both of whom were candidates for Yuan Shao's future selection of heirs, although they didn't say anything on the surface, but they secretly competed in private, one was a teacher for Yuan Shang, and the other was a ghost idea for Yuan Tan, and the two formed rivals over time.

After listening to Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shao patted his thigh and said, "Okay, very good, then follow the words of the Prime Minister and postpone sending troops for a year." ”

Fu Zhu hurriedly added: "My lord, my subordinates also hope to send an envoy to Jicheng to congratulate Lin Nan on the opening of the country, on the one hand, to show goodwill to Lin Nan, and on the other hand, to secretly inquire about the specific situation in Youzhou. ”

Yuan Shao nodded and asked, "Then who do you think is the best envoy?" ”

Frustrated: "Judging Zheng Nan is the right person, he has a strategy in his chest, his eyes are also very sharp, and he has a great friendship with Guo Jia, the strategist in Lin Nan's hands, and it should be very easy to be trusted by using this relationship." ”

The judge said: "Guo Jia and I are just general friends, not any friendship, my subordinates think that Guo Tu Guo is the most suitable candidate, Guo Tu's eloquence is very good, the lord might as well send Guo Tu to go." ”

Guo Tu glared at the judge fiercely, and just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but heard Yuan Shao say: "Okay, Guo Tu, you can go to Youzhou for me to find out Lin Nan's strength." ”

"No!" Guo Tu replied helplessly.

A few days later, Youzhou, Yanhou Mansion.

In the hall, Lin Nan looked at Guo Tu carefully, he could see from Guo Tu's body that he was a little clever, but he couldn't see any great wisdom, and he didn't have much eye on Yuan Shao's strategists, so he said coldly: "Mr. Guo has worked hard all the way, I don't know why Zhao Hou sent you to Jicheng?" ”

Guo Tu played on the scene and said: "Zhao Hou sent me to celebrate Hou Ye, and also asked me to show favor to Hou Ye to express Zhao Hou's sincerity to Hou Ye." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "I understand, I don't want to have a battlefield with me anymore, right, okay, I accept it." But ......"

"My lord, I can't accept this. My Youzhou iron cavalry is invincible, and the lord has pacified Dongyi, at this time it is the plan to go south, and he should lead all the iron cavalry to sweep down. ”

Guo Tu gasped after hearing this, looked at the young son in front of him, and asked, "Didn't ask your Excellency's name?" ”

"Guo Jia!"

Guo Tu was unexpected. Looking at the sturdy young man standing in front of him, he didn't recognize it at first glance, and he was completely different from the thin boy he had seen in Luoyang more than a year ago. Look at the young man's appearance again, it is really Guo Jia.

Guo Jia used to be Yuan Shao's protégé, and the relationship with Yuan Shao's advisers was almost the same, but the relationship with Guo Tu was stiff. He was also taken aback when he saw that Guo Tu didn't recognize him.

For a while, the hall was silent, and Guo Tu kept looking at Guo Jia. He couldn't understand why Guo Jia had grown to such a point in just over a year. After a long time, he finally squirmed his lips and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Hou Ye, Zhao Hou is very sincere, if Hou Ye agrees to continue to be harmonious, Zhao Hou will definitely express something." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "The murderer of Liu Yu is still in Bohai County under the jurisdiction of Zhao Hou. If Zhao Hou is really willing to show sincerity, then please ask Gongsun Chan to hand it over. Leave me at my disposal......"

"This ...... Master Hou, I can't do anything about this matter, so I can only go back and tell Zhao Hou first......"

"Well, I didn't let you answer right away. Actually, Zhao Hou and I still get along very well, although we were a little unhappy when we were in Luoyang, but Zhao Hou is also a real hero with a large number of adults. You should be able to give up with me. Now that the northern frontier of Youzhou is not very stable, the Xianbei people are beginning to move, it is estimated that I will personally lead the army to attack Xianbei in the north for most of the next half a year, and I hope to get the support of Zhao Hou at that time, and we will join forces to attack the enemy. ”

Guo Tu's face is still very kind. said: "Don't worry, after I go back, I will definitely convey Hou Ye's words to Zhao Hou, and Zhao Hou is also looking forward to cooperating with Hou Ye......"

"Hehe, it's easy to say. Lin Yang, send Mr. Guo to the post house to rest! ”

Lin Yang said "no", and escorted Guo Tu out of Yanhou Mansion and towards the post house.

After Guo Tu left, Lin Nan's face returned to normal, and he said expressionlessly: "Fengxiao, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "According to Yuan Shao's character, he will never take the initiative to publicize his goodwill to the lord, but this time it is abnormal, and Guo Tu's words are full of humility, it seems that he is deliberately covering up Yuan Shao's strength......"

"You mean, Yuan Shao is showing weakness to us?"

Guo Jia nodded, and said slowly: "My lord, the judges, Xin Ping, Xiao Ji, Xin Pi and others are all belligerent people, and it is absolutely impossible to give Yuan Shao this strategy...... The subordinates thought that the person who gave Yuan Shao this strategy must be a wise man who could see the whole shape clearly, but the last time his subordinates went to Yecheng, they didn't notice any abnormal capable people, so I was very puzzled......"

A person appeared in Lin Nan's mind, and he opened his mouth and said, "Don't think about it, that person must be frustrated." He wanted to use this strategy to create an unstable dìng in Jizhou for a while. However, for the time being, we also urgently need this time of peace. So, you know what to do? ”

Guo Jia hugged his fists and said, "Yes, lord." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Are the weapons and armor produced in the steel factory ready?" ”

"With Mr. Xun You personally managing the steel plant, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and yesterday another batch of battle armor was already transported to Jicheng, and now it has been stored in the treasury, just waiting for the soldiers to be equipped......" Guo Jia replied truthfully, "However...... The subordinates don't understand that the lord wants so many chains to lock the door? ”

Lin Nan smiled evilly: "You will know when the time comes, and when the big military parade is held in the future, I want everyone in the world to know that my Lin Nan's army is an army with an iron will, and I want to use the sharp weapons in their hands to open up a new world." ”

Guo Jia was deeply moved by Lin Nan's bold words, and after bidding farewell to Lin Nan, he left Yanhou Mansion and began to prepare for the morale that Lin Nan commanded.

Lin Nan also left the hall of Yanhou Mansion and walked straight towards Hanlin Courtyard.

Pushing open the door, Lin Nan saw a dazzling array of trap beasts in the room, such as cats, dogs, pigs and other animals placed on the ground, like an exhibition......

Gong Fei sat alone on the ground, looking at the trap bird that had been fully stretched out in front of him. Her brow furrowed tightly.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Nan walked straight to Gong Fei's side, his face radiant.

Gong Yifei didn't even look at Lin Nan, and his eyes were always staring at the bird very intently.

Lin Nan saw that Gong Yifei ignored him, so he said: "Are you angry with me, I haven't come to see you in the past few days, and I really miss you." Do you miss me? ”

"......" Gong Yifei was still focused, ignoring Lin Nan's words.

Lin Nan sighed softly, and the whole person lay on the ground covered with straw mats, put his hands under his head, looked up at the ceiling, and said painlessly: "The agreement between your Gongyi clan and the Mo family is almost here, right?" ”

"Hmm...... There are still a few months to go, and I have to do my best to transform the Trap Bird, otherwise, I will definitely lose to the Mo family's Chilian Snake......" Gong Fei finally spoke. The voice was soft, but it was enough for Lin Nan to hear.

Lin Nan saw that Gong Yifei was focused on the technique, so he prescribed the right medicine and said slowly: "Do you remember the plane I told you?" ”

Gong Yifei involuntarily turned around, stared at Lin Nan who was lying on the ground, and asked, "Is that the kind of huge bird that can fly in the sky with hundreds of people?" ”

"Strictly speaking, it's not a trick, it's a product of technology. I know. The creation of a beast is a very advanced science, involving knowledge of engineering, dynamics, physics, and other aspects. And it is precisely this knowledge that you have is limited to the mechanics...... Have you ever thought about one thing......"

Seeing Lin Nan's squeak, Gong Fei hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Nan sat up, his eyes full of anticipation, looked at Gong Yifei, and said slowly: "No matter how advanced you are in the mechanical arts, in the end you are just a carpenter who can fiddle with wood. Everything made of wood. When you encounter fire, it will turn to ashes, and the things you make are not very suitable for this society, which makes some things very difficult to do, and after you make them, you find that there is no use for such things at all. Have you ever thought about no more fiddling with the wood and using your ingenuity to make the steel compose? Replace your wooden Trap with a steel Trap Beast, so that even on the battlefield, what you create will become precious......

"You're telling me to give up the trick? I can't! ”

"It's not about giving up, it's about learning new technologies, and I can help you in those areas. In the same way, I need someone like you to help me create it. Don't you want to make a giant iron-winged bird with your hands and take a hundred or two hundred people to soar in the air? ”

"You're right. However, this matter will have to wait until after the decisive battle between me and the people of the Mo family, and when the time comes, whether you win or lose, I will help you make what you want most in your heart. ”

"Well, on the tenth day of February next year, I will go to the top of Mount Tai with you at that time, and I will also see the people of the Mo family and the mechanism of the Mo family."

Gong Yifei didn't speak, turned his head, and asked for a long time: "I heard that you are going to marry Cai Yan tomorrow......"

"Well, I have a marriage contract with Cai Yan, and since I have already agreed, I must fulfill ......"

"What about you...... Will you come to me again when you get married? ”

"Of course I will, I will come every day, as long as there is nothing to do, I will come, I have already made all the weapons you made to defend the city, and sent them to Fanyang and Shangjing."

"I want to ask you a question......" Gong Yu Fei lowered his head and said lightly, "Is the reason why you are willing to marry me because I have the Gong Yi clan's mechanism skills, which can help you achieve some results in the military?" ”

Lin Nan didn't think about it, he hugged Gongfei in his arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered in a low voice: "Feifei, what do I do to you, you don't know yet, don't ask this kind of stupid question in the future......"

Gong Yifei nodded, quietly snuggled in Lin Nan's arms, greedily enjoying the beating of Lin Nan's heart, and a trace of happiness appeared on his face.

……

The next day, Lin Nan met Guo Tu again, and promised Yuan Shao to express his friendly goodwill, and Guo Tu also left Jicheng without dishonoring.

A few days later, when Guo Tu returned to Yecheng, he was received by Yuan Shao.

"My lord, Lin Nan is strong and strong, and half of his troops are deployed in Fanyang and Shangjing, if he can capture Fanyang, he can immediately drive straight into it and capture Jicheng in one go." Guo Tu, who had just returned to Yecheng, briefly explained to Yuan Shao what he had seen and heard in Jicheng. And gave its own building yì.

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and said calmly: "Are you asking me to send troops to Youzhou?" ”

Guo Tu nodded: "If you don't attack Youzhou now, it will be even more terrifying when Lin Nan develops in Youzhou in the future." The subordinates thought that if they could capture Youzhou as soon as possible, the lord would be able to ascend to the throne of the overlord of the world as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Shao said: "Then why didn't you agree with the opinion of the trial before." Instead, chose to be frustrated? ”

"At that time, I didn't know much about the enemy. At this moment, I have returned from the envoy in Youzhou, and in Youzhou I have personally determined Lin Nan's military strength. If he started attacking Youzhou at this time, he would definitely be able to catch Lin Nan off guard. ”

"Hahaha, brilliant plan. It's just that I've already decided to implement the plan of Tuntian, and now that our army has just occupied Qingzhou, the people's will is unstable, and if we rashly attack Linnan, not only will I be infamous for being unkind and unjust. It will also put us in a situation where we are attacked on the back of the belly. ”

Guo Tu was shocked in his heart and asked directly: "Is the lord worried about Cao Cao?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Yes, Cao Cao has occupied Xuzhou and owns the land of two states, looking at the world, there are only a handful of people who can own the land of two states, and Cao Cao and Ma Teng are one of them." However, Ma Teng is far away from us, and he can adopt the strategy of long-distance and close attack. And I'm also worried that Cao Cao and Lin Nan will join forces to flank me. So the matter is put aside for the time being, and we will wait for next autumn harvest. It is not too late for our army to send troops to Youzhou again. ”

Guo Tu arched his hand and said: "The lord is wise! ”

In July, the enthusiasm is like fire, just like Lin Nan, who is about to hold a wedding, his heart is always full of restlessness.

Jicheng was full of lights, all the civil and military forces gathered together, and Cai Yong, as his father-in-law, was even more happy. This is exactly what he has been waiting for.

In the backyard of Yanhou Mansion, Diao Chan looked depressed, although she knew that it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, but when she loved someone with her heart, she would find that she could love so deeply.

"Sister. You're here, you can make it easy for me to find it. Ouyang Yinying gasped, with some sweat on her forehead, walked quickly in front of Diao Chan, and sat on the cool stone bench beside Diao Chan.

Diao Chan looked in a trance and asked, "What are you looking for me to do, now should be the time for Lord Hou to feast all the adults, right?" ”

"Humph! That unconscionable Hou Ye, what else did he mention...... Sister, I'll take you out of the city to play, I just learned to ride a horse, how about we take a repeater and go hunting? "Ouyang Yinying has been in the barracks for a long time, and the male temperament has gradually revealed, she has a strong personality, and always has a strong desire for all kinds of knowledge, and even horseback riding and archery He has learned a little.

"I'm not going, you can go by yourself, but the girl's family shouldn't be too wild, otherwise she won't be able to marry in the future." When Diao Chan spoke, his hands involuntarily rested on his abdomen, rubbing them gently, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of longing for the future.

Ouyang Yinying saw Diao Chan turn from frustration to joy in an instant, a little confused, but she didn't ask, but said triumphantly: "Sister rest assured, my sister already has a candidate in her heart, and it will not change in this life, and the conscienceless Hou Ye also promised me that I must marry him, although it is just a casual remark, but I believe that the conscienceless Hou Ye will be able to speak......

A hint of anger appeared on Diao Chan's face: "Sakura, the Hou Ye is also your brother, you have no conscience on the left, and you have no conscience on the right, if the Hou Ye really has no conscience, he would not have saved you in Liaodong at the beginning." ”

Ouyang Yinying stuck out her tongue, stood up directly, and bowed to Diao Chan: "Sister is a lover's eyes, in the eyes of my sister, my brother is right in everything, and I am wrong in everything, so from now on I will no longer care about the affairs between my sister and my brother...... So my sister is satisfied? ”

Diao Chan smiled and said, "You...... How so...... Forget it, go play it yourself...... When you get married in the future, you will understand how I feel now. ”

Ouyang Yinying didn't say anything, just laughed a few times, said "Sister is precious", and ran away.

Diao Chan covered his abdomen, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and he said to himself: "From now on, it is okay to have you by my side, your father is ambitious in the world, I can't have too many extravagant desires, as long as he still has me in his heart." I was satisfied. ”

……

Hallym Temple.

Gong Yifei is restless today, she is lost in everything, since Lin Nan left her yesterday, her heart has not been able to calm down, and she actually dreamed of Lin Nan when she slept at night...... However, today when the whole city is celebrating the wedding of the Hou Ye. But her heart ached.

As a daughter, she has been burdened with the fate of her family since she was a child, and she has to show herself as a man. knew that she had come to Jicheng, but her heartstrings were tugged at by a man named Lin Nan, which made her sometimes seem very happy, and sometimes she would seem very depressed.

Gong Yufei climbed to the highest floor of the Hanlin Academy. Standing at the top of the fourth floor, looking at the Yanhou Mansion in the direction of Liaodong, his eyes flashed with tears, and he almost wanted to fall: "Lin Ziyu, you big villain, you heart thief......"

……

In the cave room of Yanhou Mansion, red silk and satin covered the whole room, and Cai Yan, who had just finished worshipping heaven and earth and was wearing a bright red bridal makeup, sat motionless on the bed with a fiery red hijab on his head. Quietly waiting for her husband to arrive......

Underneath the hijab is a delicate and lovely face. At the same time, he also has a smart and intelligent head, which can be called a show of wisdom.

Cai Yan's red face, I don't know if it's because of my shyness, or because of the reflection of the red hijab, in short, there is a happy smile on his face.

The scene of the first time she saw Lin Nan on the bank of the Yellow River came to her mind, and she knew that the man with deep eyes standing in front of her was the famous Lin Nan. Her heart was touched by the man she met for the first time......

The second time was in the rain, and the same man recklessly lifted the curtain of her carriage to see all the skin she had exposed from the tearing of her clothes, and from that moment on. She identified him, whether he intended it or not, she decided that he would not marry in this life.

Cai Yan felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, and when she thought of the woman who was about to become the man in her mind, she could no longer hold back the restlessness and uneasiness in her heart.

"Why...... Your redress has only now arrived, do you know that I have been waiting for you? ”

……

In the banquet hall of Yanhou Mansion, all the people were celebrating the wedding, and all the people were optimistic about the marriage...... One is Cai Yong, who is highly respected by the entire Han Dynasty, and the other is Lin Nan, who is young and promising, full of endless charm, and the marriage of the two is bound to bring a new atmosphere to Youzhou.

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, may the lord and Mrs. Cai be together for a hundred years, and the children and grandchildren will be full......"

Any gorgeous and noble rhetoric is not too much to use in this wedding, Lin Nan knows very well what he wants, Cai Yong is just a bait, he wants talents from all over the world. Marrying Cai Yong and marrying Cai Yong's daughter will undoubtedly bring more Confucianism to Youzhou. What's more, in addition to Cai Yong, there are Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Guoyuan and others under his rule, and the opening of Juxian Hall also shows his desire for talents.

In the past few months alone, there have been thirteen batches of Confucian scholars of all kinds in Youzhou, and after coming out of the Juxian Pavilion, they were appointed as county commanders, county lieutenants or subordinate officials of Taishou in each county, which greatly supplemented the lack of talents in Youzhou......

……

At night, Lin Nan kept a clear head, he didn't drink too much at the banquet, it was not good to be disorderly after drinking, he didn't want to be like that.

Pushing open the door of the cave room, Lin Nan saw Cai Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Have you been sitting there for a day?" ”

Cai Yan nodded, but did not answer.

"It's hard for you, have you eaten?"

Cai Yan nodded again.

Then the two went to bed.

……

The next day, the sun rose as usual, and Youzhou also developed steadily little by little under Lin Nan's rule, the generals were responsible for training soldiers and garrisoning the city, the officials were responsible for handling government affairs, and the people were busy with agricultural affairs.

Time flies, like a white horse passing by, the first year of Taiping in 187 soon came to an end, and in a blink of an eye ushered in the Spring Festival of the second year of Taiping.

Winter goes to spring, at the beginning of the new year, there is still a lot of snow left on the road, the whole north is still in a cold situation, but the Hanlin courtyard is as warm as spring.

"Fei Fei, are you ready?" Lin Nan was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people. With a burden on his shoulder, he shouted at Gong Fei, who was still in the house.

Gong Yifei is still dressed in a man's clothes, she looks very handsome, she is carrying a burden, holding a bird in her hand, and smiling at Lin Nan. He asked, "Do you really want to come with me?" ”

"Of course, I told you before, and besides, I also want to meet the people of the Mo family."

Gong Yifei felt relieved and asked, "Isn't Mrs. Cicada pregnant, and what about your new wife?" ”

"They'll be taken care of, you don't have to worry about it. If you're ready, we'll go now. According to the distance, you can reach Mount Tai on the ninth day of the second month......"

Gong Yifei nodded, smiled knowingly, and walked out of the Hanlin Academy with Lin Nan.

Outside the Hanlin Courtyard, Lin Yang had already prepared two fast horses, and when he saw Lin Nan and Gong Yifei coming out together, he bowed and said, "Lord, the horses are ready." Don't you really need your subordinates to follow along? ”

Lin Nan said: "No need, we are not going to war. You don't need so many people, you just stay in Jicheng and train your subordinates well. ”

"No!"

Lin Nan and Gong Yifei rode a horse and left Jicheng.

In the past few months, although Lin Nan is newly married, he does not have too much nostalgia for women. Instead, he devoted himself to the development of internal affairs, the construction of water conservancy, the reclamation of farmland, the repair of city walls, and the training of soldiers. With the assistance of Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Xun You, Xun Chen, Guo Jia, Xu You and others, he gradually mastered the know-how of politics, and boldly reformed the military uniform, opening dyeing workshops, cloth mills, garment factories, etc., so that the army in Youzhou was greatly different from the army of other states......

Gong Yifei was not idle, in order to get to Mount Tai, he has been learning to ride a horse for several months, which is a slight success.

The situation in Youzhou has stabilized, and the various functional departments have been completed, and his think tank will handle some daily government affairs.

Along the way, Lin Nan and Gongfei snuggled up to each other, and the two little couples were like tourists, talking and laughing along the way, and unconsciously arrived at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou - Shangjing......

In more than a year of construction, Shangjing gradually developed into a military town, and Liao incarnated as a Taishou, which contributed a lot.

As soon as Tai Shici and Liao Hua, who were stationed in Shangjing, heard that Lin Nan was coming, they hurriedly said that Lin Nan had welcomed them into Shangjing.

Shangjing City is a new city, which is expanded on the basis of the original Quanzhou City, and at the junction of Shangjing City and Jizhou 80 miles to the south, Liao Hua has also set up several checkpoints, and all people who enter and leave Youzhou must be strictly investigated, so as to prevent Gongsun Zhan's spies in the Bohai Sea from mixing into Youzhou.

In the Taishou Mansion in Shangjing, Lin Nanduan sat on the big seat, looked at Tai Shici and Liao Hua standing in front of him, and said loudly: "The two generals have been guarding Shangjing for more than a year, and it is really hard......"

"Serve the Lord, and never give up." Tai Shici and Liao Hua replied in unison.

Lin Nan said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here today, they are all brothers, and there is no lord." It is the first time that I have come here since the establishment of Shangjing, and the atmosphere here has been very good by you, and I have often heard people praise you wherever I have passed, and I hope you will make persistent efforts and continue to work hard. ”

"No!"

Tai Shici squinted at Gong Yifei who was sitting opposite, and saw that Gong Yifei was very faceless, he was very fond of making friends, up to the age of eighty, down to the age of eight, he could become a year-old friend with him, Huang Zhong and Sima Yi are the best examples. During that period of time in Jicheng, Tai Shi Ci couldn't stay idle, and he walked around a lot, and he visited all the people under Lin Nan's hands...... It can be said that there is nothing in Jicheng that he does not know.

"Lord, is this little brother a newly recruited talent from Lord?" Tai Shici finally couldn't help it, so he asked.

Lin Nan smiled: "Oh, she is an old man, she arrived in Jicheng more than a year ago, and she is the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy." ”

Tai Shici let out an "oh" and said: "It turns out that Gong Yifei is so young, I thought he was a bad old man, but I have never visited him, and when I see it today, it is indeed an eye-opener." ”

Gong Yifei smiled and arched his hand: "I have also heard of General Taishi's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”

Liao Hua is silent, the older he gets, the more mature his heart becomes, and Tai Shici just forms a huge contrast, just smiling blindly......

"What's the recent movement of Gongsun Zhan?" Lin Nan is about to step into the territory of Jizhou, and he must have an understanding of the road ahead.

"Lord Qiqi, Gongsun Chan has not made any movement in the recent period, and according to the report of the scouts sent to Bohai County, Gongsun Chan seems to have been fighting hard. Since the lord and Yuan Shao expressed their friendship, there has not been much movement in the whole Jizhou. Liao Hua, as the Taishou of Shangjing, took the initiative to answer.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Xindu ordered Liu Bei to lead troops into the river, and other than that, there is no transfer of troops in Jizhou." Tai Shici added.

Lin Nan sneered and said, "This Liu Da's ears are really useless, he can't even hold Xuzhou, and he lost Xuzhou in just over a month...... Now he has taken refuge under Yuan Shao's account, once our army and Yuan Shao go to war, Liu Bei will inevitably become our enemy, but his two brothers followed him and did not follow me, which is a pity. ”

"If the lord appreciates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, just arrest them and make them surrender." Tai Shi Ci said.

Lin Nan only smiled and didn't say anything, but he was secretly thinking about how to deal with Liu Bei's group in his heart.

After staying in Beijing for a day, Lin Nan and Gong Feifei got an excellent rest, and then under the escort of Tai Shici, they and Gong Feifei embarked on the trip to Mount Tai again.

Before leaving, Tai Shi Ci had to follow Lin Nan, but Lin Nan did not let him, but let Tai Shi Ci continue to garrison Shangjing with Liao Hua......

Entering the Jizhou territory, Lin Nan and Gongsun Feifei were a little more shrewd, after all, he and Gongsun Zhan were enemies, and if they were caught in the Bohai Sea, it would be bad. Therefore, Lin Nan and Gong Yifei both changed their faces. Lin Nan is dressed up as an old man in his forties and fifties, and he doesn't need to dress up, and few people know him, so he should be given to Lin Nan as an entourage.

The two of them tried to choose a road with a lot of people, and every time they passed a city, they had to go in, so they didn't make people feel a trace of suspicion. It is estimated that no one would have imagined that Lin Nan, who was the Marquis of Yan, Youzhou Mu, and the Hussar General, would enter the enemy's territory alone.

Bohai County is the largest county in the whole Jizhou, with a population of more than one million, but because the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou galloped into Bohai County and ransacked it, the population of Bohai County decreased sharply, and most of them flowed into Yecheng, and the remaining people still have two or three hundred thousand, of which there are 100,000 people in Nanpi, the county seat of Bohai County alone......

Nanpicheng is the only Jizhou city in Yecheng, and Yuan Shao made Gongsun Chan the Bohai Taishou, mainly to use the reputation of Gongsun Chan as a white horse general to deter the potential Yellow Turban remnants in Bohai County. But what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that as soon as Gongsun Zhan arrived, he incorporated the Yellow Turban Yu Party and directly incorporated it into the army, and the number of troops surged to 30,000 at once. Gongsun Zhan immediately began to ignore Yuan Shao's orders, and he lost the sparsely populated Youbeiping County, but gained Bohai County, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Yuan Shao didn't think so, he thought at first that Gongsun Chan was cornered, and he would be grateful to give him a county guard, but he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to be a person who forgot about his merits, thinking that this was what he deserved...... The two were harmonious on the surface, but in fact they were intrigued, and later there was another Liu Bei, and Jizhou immediately presented a situation of three heroes standing side by side. Yuan Shao's family is dominant, and his strength far exceeds that of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, so Yuan Shao always wants to kill people with a knife, get rid of Gongsun Zhan, and subdue Liu Bei. However, Yuan Shao was afraid that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan would unite, so he often transferred Liu Bei to various counties as a county commander, and the longest letter order was only a three-month term, so he was directly transferred to Hejian County to be a county commander.
