"You are all the squires of Taiyuan City, and there are two things to inform you of today's gathering." Taiyuan City Lord's Mansion, Zou Yu said to the dozens of landlords and wealthy merchants in Taiyuan City below.

"Please show the general!" A group of people looked at Zou Yu in fear, and the last older one stood up and said.

"First, no matter who you hooked up with before, the general can not be held accountable, but from today onwards, not a single grass, a tree, a grain, or a grain of salt in Taiyuan will be allowed to flow out!

Second, all the young and strong families in the family will be incorporated into the city guard army until the beginning of spring next year! Zou Yuhu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally the elder said cautiously: "General, is this a good thing, a lot of skins just bought from the grassland, and some groceries, if we can't make a sale, then our whole family will be hungry." ”

Another person followed up and said: "Yes, general, if the young and strong are all transferred, there will be no one at home to carry water and chop wood." ”

"Humph! General Ben is not consulting with you! That's an order! Zou Yu snorted coldly and said after glancing for a week.

"Yes! Be! Be! This frightened these people a lot, and they nodded busily.

"Of course, General Ben is not an unkind person, all the goods, those who are willing to sell, the government will buy them at your cost price, and you will not lose money; As for Qingzhuang, this must be handed over, if someone wants to hide it, don't blame Ben for being unpredictable! However, those who are over forty years old and less than sixteen years old can stay. Zou Yu said in a slow tone.

"Thank you, General!" Hearing Zou Yu's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the merchant would not lose money, and the landlord would also have some manpower left.

This is the heart of human nature, first a lion opens his mouth, and when they have accepted their fate, they relax the conditions, but let them be grateful.

After getting rid of these people, Zou Yu relaxed a little in his heart, which not only increased a batch of supplies, but also solved some hidden dangers, and at the same time, whether it was Liu Wuzhou or the Turks, they could not get some supplies.

These merchants are good-sounding leather and grocery merchants, most of whom are not in the smuggling business, salt, fine iron, these scarce things in the grassland, once pulled over, can be exchanged for a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.

Smuggling is a thing that cannot be eliminated, but there is no problem in a short time, especially in Taiyuan, where there is no village in front of the village, no store in the back, and if you want to go to the grassland, this is the only way to go.

The dismissal of these merchants and landlords, Wen Dalin also brought good news, Wen Dayou, Wen Wuyin was willing to surrender.

Zou Yu didn't pursue their past, so he still let Wen Dayou be the Taiyuan Order, and Wen Dalin was the Sima of Taiyuan.

After another three days, the scouts finally found out that the reinforcements had arrived, and Zou Yu suddenly felt relieved, like a big stone falling to the ground, and his whole body was relaxed.

Just after noon, the reinforcements arrived outside the city of Taiyuan, and Zou Yu asked people to greet them into the city.

"Haha! Strategist, you're here, and I'm finally relieved! Zou Yu laughed happily.

Although Zou Yu has a lot of experience in battles, but the situation in the Central Plains is much more complicated, and now the family is big, he is afraid that there will be some omissions, and now that Li Keshi and others are here, he must be more thoughtful, and he can also synthesize his opinions and make the most favorable judgment.

"Subordinates, see the general!" Li Keshi, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanliang, Luo Cheng and others all gave gifts.

"Who are these two?" Zou Yu looked at the two strange young people behind him and asked.

"Lu Chengqing, Lu Chengye has seen the general, and our two brothers came here to seek an official position." The older young man said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, two young talents joined, and I am not very happy!"

"These two are the two sons of the Lu family's Beizu Dafang, because the general left in a hurry, so they didn't meet each other, and this time they followed their subordinates to Taiyuan, hoping to serve under the general's account." Li Keshi nodded slightly and explained.

"Hehe, if the two of you don't dislike it, first make a note in the army to join the army, and then make another arrangement after this war." Zou Yu understood that Li Keshi was signaling that the two of them could use it, so he said with a smile.

"I want it!" Lu Chengqing's smile did not change and accepted it happily.

Although the official position of joining the army is not high, it is only a six-grade petty official, but the main occupation is responsible for writing chapters and tables, which can be said to be equivalent to a secretary, the importance is self-evident, and it is also convenient for the observation ability from above, once there is a gap in the official position, it is very likely to be filled, so Lu Chengqing is also very satisfied, which at least shows that Zou Yu still has no intention of prevarication.

"Taiyuan has been lowered, Li Yuan has no intention of returning to the army, but divides the troops, it should be to quickly enter the Guanzhong, General Qin Qiong was blocked by Li Shentong and Yin Kaishan outside the Tongguan, how do you think we should act?" After sitting down, Zou Yu asked.

"The general is worried about the Turks?" Li Keshi was silent for a moment and said.

"Yes, according to what Wen Da said in Taiyuan, the Turks have already supported Li Yuan's group of men, so I'm worried that once the army is raised, I'm afraid that Liu Wuzhou will attack Taiyuan." Zou Yu replied.

"It's better to let your subordinates guard Taiyuan, and the general can rest assured that he will go to Tongguan." Xue Wanche said.

"General Xue, you are wrong, the general is not worried about Taiyuan, but worried about the Turks' large-scale attack on Youzhou." Li Keshi said with a smile.

"Yes, we can fight any way in the Central Plains, but we can't let the Turks enter the customs, and things like Li Yuan with the help of the Turks will definitely not be tolerated!" Zou Yu nodded and said in a firm tone.

The people present are all loyal and righteous people, that is, Lu Chengqing, who has just joined, and Lu Chengye's two brothers, who are also one of the families that pay attention to bloodlines, of course they don't like Turkic people, and they agree with Zou Yu's decision very much, and secretly admire his determination.

"General rest assured, Yuyang has General Zhang Zhongjian to guard it, and several generals of the Xue family will also be ready for battle, and there are Luo Yi in Youzhou, and several generals of the Xue family, who have been subdued throughout the territory and are currently conscripting, but except for our 30,000 people, there are no more reinforcements and grain and grass support." Li Keshi introduced.

"That's good! Taiyuan has enough grain and grass to support, so there is no need to worry about food, as for manpower, I think it is enough. Zou Yu said reassuringly.

"Taiyuan will trouble General Xue Wanche to guard, I will leave you 18,000 people, but most of these soldiers are newly recruited, and Wen Dalin Wen Sima will stay to assist you." Zou Yu continued.

"Don't worry, general! Your subordinates will never let you down! Xue Wanche got up and hugged his fists.

"Very good, without further ado, set off tomorrow, attack Jinyang first, and then enter the pass!" Zou Yu immediately made up his mind.

"Whoa!"
