The next day, that is, on the ninth day of the seventh month, Zhao Yu woke up from her dream with Jingnu in her arms as always.

After breakfast, he took Jingnu, Niu Heng, He Shun and several black tiger thieves to the Governor's Office.

At this time, in the Governor's Office, none of the four scholars Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Qin Yu, and Jia Shu were there, and after asking the officials in the official office, Zhao Yu knew that the county guard had approved the heavy promise made by Zhao Yu to the city guards yesterday, and Tian Qin and Qin Yu were going to distribute the rewards.

No, as soon as Zhao Yu and his party returned to his room, there was a cheer from the city wall in the four directions of Xuchang, which made Zhao Yu smile slightly when he heard it.

I have to say that Chen Lang is much happier than Li Junshou and the former Juncheng Song - although Chen Lang mainly sells his face.

Around three o'clock in the morning, an official from the office suddenly came to announce: "Captain, there is a 'wolf warrior' governor who asks to see him. ”

Wolf Benshi, that is, brigade wolf, this is the official name that Zhao Yu determined when he made a memorandum in the Governor's Office, so that the officials of the Governor's Office could identify it.

Similarly, there are the Black Tiger Thieves, who are also officially registered as the 'Black Turban Army' at the Governor's Office.

Originally, Zhao Yu wanted to use the 'Black Tiger Army', but unfortunately, as Xun Yi reminded him at the beginning, the army number with the word 'Tiger' needs to be recognized by the imperial court, otherwise it will be arrogant, so Zhao Yu retreated and won the name of the 'Black Turban Army' for his Black Tiger people.

Well, Zhao Yu has to thank the rebels for this, after all, the 'black turban pawn' and the 'black turban army' are the first to be called by the rebels.

"Ask him to come in."

"Yes."

A moment later, Xu Bai, the governor of the brigade wolf, came to Zhao Yu's house.

It is undeniable that Xu Bai still felt a little unbelievable about the 'Leader Zhou' in front of him turning into the Governor of Yingchuan County, but he quickly reined in his mind and respectfully hugged his fist towards Zhao Yu and said, "Xu Bai, I have seen the big leader. ”

"Hmm."

Of course, Zhao Yu recognized Xu Bai, nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xu Bai, what is the need for you, the governor, to come to Xuchang in person to report the news?" ”

"That's right." Xu Bai said without a smile: "Half an hour ago, Yingyin's Xiang Xuan and Yan Xuan armies suddenly left the city, marching eastward with countless baggage, in case he had any tricks, his subordinates came in person. ”

It turned out that two days ago, Xiang Xuan deceived the traveling wolves who were active in the Yingyin area with a trick, causing Xuchang to be almost deceived, which made Xu Bai, Wang Ping, He Shun, Xu Rao, and Le Xing, the five traveling wolf governors who were sent here, lose face.

Therefore, although Xiang Xuan looked like he was going to withdraw his troops, Xu Bai still came to Xuchang in person to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

However, after hearing Xu Bai's message, Zhao Yu was sure that Xiang Xuan was probably really going to withdraw his troops this time.

Sure enough, a moment later, Wei Shi Hanhe hurriedly came to Zhao Yu's room, and said: "Du Wei, the two rebels of Xiang Xuan and Yan Xuan in the direction of Yingyin suddenly went east, Liao Guang and Qin Yu thought that the rebels wanted to withdraw to Yanling, and asked the humble officials to immediately ask the commander for advice, how did I Xu Chang react. ”

"Sure enough."

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

He couldn't help but recall yesterday's fierce battle, which could be described as thrilling and difficult, and the desperate bets of Xiang Xuan and several other rebels undeniably caused huge casualties to Xuchang.

It is a pity that Xiang Xuan's rebel forces were unwilling to lose too many troops for some reason, so that although yesterday's fierce battle was thrilling, it still seemed to be anticlimactic, and finally only lasted two hours before hastily withdrawing troops and ending the battle.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order, all armies in Xuchang are not allowed to move without permission, and then the 'wolf warriors' will take over and track the whereabouts of the rebels." ”

"Yes." Han He retreated.

At this time, Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Xu Bai, who was still in the house, and ordered: "As I just said, immediately find out the movements of the rebels in the positions of Yingyin, Changshe, Linying, and Yanling. ”

"Yes!"

Xu Bai clenched his fists and retreated.

Watching Xu Bai walk out of the room, Zhao Yu stood up and stood at the window with his hands behind his back.

Although he was not completely sure, he guessed in his heart that most of Xiang Xuan's rebels were preparing to retreat, but what surprised him was that Xiang Xuan actually retreated to the east, not to the south.

『…… Isn't Xiang Xuan going to join Guan Shuo?"

Zhao Yu felt a little puzzled.

Around the time of Shen, Xu Bai went and returned, and brought another brigade wolf Dubai, Xu Rao.

After seeing Zhao Yu, Xu Rao Zhengse said: "Great leader, the brothers have ascertained that the rebels in Yingyin and Changshe counties have withdrawn to Yanling today......

"Xiang Xuan, Yan Xuan's second army and Zhou Gong have converged? But why Yanling? Isn't it ......?"

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

In addition to being suspicious, Zhao Yu instructed the brigade wolf to continue to monitor the rebels in Yanling and Linying counties.

Another day, that is, on the tenth day of the seventh month, the wolf governor Bo Lexing sent someone to Xuchang to report that the rebels gathered in Yanling suddenly marched eastward, in order to avoid the lone army going deep, the wolves did not dare to chase the enemy too deep.

"To the east of Yanling? Isn't that the border between Chenjun and Chenliu?'

Zhao Yu, who learned of this, immediately instructed Wang Tao, a Gong Cao official, to take the county map of the Jin Kingdom, thus confirming his judgment.

Xiang Xuan and several other rebels went in the direction of Chen Jun and Chen Liu.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Yu instructed He Shundao: "Send someone to order Wang Qing and ask him to lead the troops to recover Yingyin." ”

"Yes."

Immediately, Zhao Yu summoned another official and instructed: "Call Chu Yan and Chu Shen to come." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Chu Yan walked quickly to Zhao Yu's room and saluted Zhao Yu with a fist: "Big leader." ”

Zhao Yu nodded, looking Chu Yan up and down in a military uniform.

In all fairness, although Chu Yan was quite immature in his command yesterday, overall, Zhao Yu was still satisfied with him.

At least, Chu Yan was enthusiastic and not afraid of Xiang Xuan, especially his style of personally going into battle to kill the enemy, and soon won the trust of many Xu Changshu.

Some people may say that in fact, Qin Yu's performance is better, but considering the intimacy, Zhao Yu is naturally inclined to try his best to cultivate Chu Yan.

Although he will still reuse generals such as Ju Sheng, Cao Wu, Qin Yu, and Jia Shu, it is unlikely that these generals will surpass Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Chu Yan.

Although there is some suspicion of cronyism, this is human nature.

Seeing Chu Yan's serious expression, Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Relax, relax, I summoned you today, there is no big deal, but I got the news and learned that Xiang Xuan and several other rebels have defected to the east, and now the two counties of Yingyin and Changshe have become an empty city, therefore, it is inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, and I will think about recovering the two counties as soon as possible." …… On Yingyin's side, I have sent someone to call Wang Qing to recover, and you are responsible for recovering Changshe. ”

Chu Yan suddenly realized, and immediately asked, "Didn't the big leader want me to sit in Xuchang?" Why don't you send someone else to reclaim the Chosha? ”

"I see you're usually very smart, why are you making a mess at this time?"

Zhao Yu glanced at Chu Yan speechlessly.

From the side, Jingnu and He Shun also laughed.

Only then did Chu Yan understand that the big leader in front of him was not so much asking him to fight Changshe, but actually letting him pick up credit for nothing-the rebels had withdrawn from Yingyin and Changshe counties, and at this time he led his troops to recover the city, is this the credit of Bai Pickup?

After understanding this, Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh ashamedly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu said angrily: "If you understand, go quickly." …… You have already defended Xuchang and repelled the rebels, and if you can recover another city, and I will promote you to the rank of captain in the upper part of the world, not many people will gossip. ”

He asked Wang Qing to recover Yingyin, which was actually the same purpose.

"Yes!"

Chu Yan nodded excitedly, and immediately, as if he had thought of something, he asked cautiously: "Great Chief, can I bring Ju Sheng, Cao Wu, Qin Yu, and Jia Shu with me?" ”

“……”

Zhao Yu suddenly smiled bitterly.

It's not so much to fight the Changshe, but in fact, it's just to take over an empty city, if there is no accident, not a single soldier will have a loss, you actually want to bring four generals?

To outsiders, this is also too ugly.

Seeing Zhao Yu's strange expression, Chu Yan naturally didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "When I was in Yingyang, Ju Sheng, Cao Wu, Qin Yu, and Jia Shu gave me a lot of advice, which is why ......."

Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly, and said: "Bring Ju Sheng and Cao Wu, the credit of keeping Xuchang yesterday is enough to offset the past crimes of Qin Yu and Jia Shu." …… Don't make outsiders think we look ugly. ”

"Yes!"

Chu Yan left excitedly.

The next day, Chu Yan took Ju Sheng and Cao Wu to lead 3,000 soldiers from the second battalion of Ben to recover Changshe.

On the same day, Wang Qing sent five people, including Legui, Xu Shen, Xu Ma, Huang Ben, and Zou Bu, to lead 3,000 soldiers to recover Yingyin......

That's right, this guy is a 'pie'!

Zhao Yu originally thought that this guy didn't know his good intentions, but later he learned that this guy was purely too lazy to personally attack an empty city without enemies, and disdained to pick up the credit given for nothing.

It is undeniable that Zhao Yu became the captain of Yingchuan, and he would definitely try his best to get his brothers promoted, I believe Wang Qing also knows this, but even so, at least you have to have a name, you yourself are too lazy to go to Yingyin, how can you take the credit on you?

Besides, is it tiring to run Yingyin? It's just a day's worth of going back and forth.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated, Zhao Yu immediately recalled Chu Yan from the Changshe and ordered: "I have reported the credit of Le Gui, Xu Shen, and Xu Ma to the county guard for recovering Yingyin, and Chen Juncheng also gave corresponding rewards, and at the same time pardoned Xu Shen and Xu Ma Er for their past crimes." Tomorrow, the county warden Shi Cui Zhi will go to Yingyin, I order you to go with him, and go to Yingyang by the way, if nothing else, just to call you a 'Captain of the Upper Division'! ”

"Uh...... Be. Chu Yan looked strange.

asked Chu Yan to teach Wang Qing a lesson, Zhao Yu's mood was much smoother, and with the good news of 'Yingyin and Changshe have been recovered one after another', he went to the backyard of the county guard mansion and met Li Junshou who was sick in bed.

Similar to the county offices in each county, the county watchman's office is also the front yard office, and the back yard is where Li Junshou and his family live.

And this family member actually refers to Li Junshou's wife and a concubine, as well as a daughter born to the concubine.

As for the two sons born to the main room, they are actually not in Xuchang.

"My lord, I have ordered someone to recover Yingyin and Changshe......"

In front of Li Junshou's sickbed, Zhao Yu respectfully informed the former of the situation in the past few days, and heard Li Junshou nod again and again.
