Midday.

With the posting of notices one by one, the frightened atmosphere in the county has begun to calm down, and ordinary people see that the streets and alleys are basically patrolled by county soldiers, there is no military disaster, and there is no yellow turban thief army, so naturally they also began to go out of their homes, the market opened its doors for business, and the teahouse and wine shop also resumed its liveliness.

Of course, this notice has caused a lot of discussion among the people.

"I really didn't expect that the Zhu family, who is usually known as a family of scholars, would collude with the Yellow Turban to rebel against the thieves, and they deserve to be wiped out!"

"Before you arrived first, the county lieutenant died in battle!"

"It's a fluke to be able to repel the Yellow Turban Bandits!"

"Who is this Zhang Chuan?"

"I heard that he turned the tide and personally beheaded the Yellow Turban thief Mushan!"

"You don't know this, this Zhang Chuan is a hunter in a northern suburb village, people are like mountains, heads are like lions, born with great strength, eat ten catties of meat every day, drink ten catties of wine, and can tear tigers and leopards in his teens......"

"Nonsense, I've seen that Zhang Chuan, but it's a scholar!"

"You are all talking nonsense, Zhang Chuan is my Zhang family's disciple!"

"Shameless!"

“……”

In the midst of discussions, the name of Zhang Chuan, an ordinary Orion, began to gradually have an impression in the hearts of the people.

……

Wuyin County Ya.

This place has been redeployed by the county soldiers led by Xu Ping.

After a big battle last night, the Yellow Turban Army led by Makiyama, the main force of the war, also suffered a lot of casualties, so they stayed outside the city to recuperate, firstly, to avoid suspicion, when it should be low-key, it should be low-key, and secondly, to better recuperate.

The county soldiers led by Xu Ping re-settled in the county, and the county commander Cai Tu regained control of the city.

"Lord Prefectural!"

Li Yan walked into the study pavilion in a hurry, and after bowing his hand, he said, "My subordinates have come back to restore their lives!" ”

"Zhengfang, you did a good job in this battle!"

Cai Tu remembered last night's battle, but there was a trace of excitement in his tired face: "I never know, it turns out that you still have such a talent for martial arts, I knew that you have such ability, when the county government recommended the military Sima in the past, I should have recommended you to go!" ”

In the battle last night, he watched the battle from the beginning to the end, in addition to recognizing the strong strength of Mushan, a military general, he also had a deeper understanding of Li Yan's strategy.

Li Yan has been recruited by him as an official for a long time, and he has not underestimated Li Yan, nor has he despised him because of Li Yan's age, and he is very appreciative of his ability to handle government affairs.

But he really didn't expect that he was an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, not only capable of handling government affairs, but also quite talented in martial arts and warfare.

"The county lord has an overreputation, Yan is just a little hard, last night's battle, although Yan has a merit, but the matter of planning, quite insufficient, if it is not for the elite soldiers in Mu Yuan, the strength is strong, I am afraid that this battle, we may not win!"

Li Yan is not proud, very modest, not just for the show, but a sincere review, last night's battle, although he offered advice, using grain trucks to camouflage, among which the county soldiers ambushed, lured the Zhu family soldiers to be fooled, the center blossomed, only to win the critical stage, but in the end to win the victory is still the price of hard work, if it is not for Mushan's invincible hammer, shocked the morale of the army, and enhanced morale, this battle is definitely not so easy to end.

Since then, he has become more familiar with the battlefield.

Understand the difference between a military general and an ordinary soldier on the battlefield.

If he was somewhat on paper before, then next time, he may be able to offer a more realistic strategy.

"No matter what, you have a merit in this battle!"

Cai Tu smiled and said: "A certain must be remembered in my heart!" ”

"Lord County, I just entered the city, it seems that I saw someone riding a horse towards Wancheng, could it be that some scholars in the city went to complain, if they were to complain, maybe Lord Fujun would ......"

Li Yan was a little worried.

"It's to be expected!" Cai Tu is very calm, he is better at politics than Mu Jing and Li Yan, he has long expected that when he kills the Zhu family, things will go to the county government.

Mu Jing and Li Yan may think that they can hide it from the world, but he doesn't think so, and this matter will definitely not be hidden.

Although he is the county commander of Wuyin, he has never been able to control Wuyin, the Wuyin clan, and no one listens to him, this is like a house that leaks everywhere, how can he hide things.

But he still agreed to Mu Jing's request, and he was naturally sure.

"Although we destroyed the Zhu clan and shocked some scholars in the city, but those scholars are very proud, how can they bow their heads, they will definitely find a way to sue me in the county government, or even in the assassination mansion, and even put a lot of charges on me!"

"In this way, I'm afraid Mushan's identity will not be able to be kept!" Li Yan's face changed: "If Lord Fujun sends troops to fight, won't we be busy in vain!" ”

"Do you think that even if Lord Fujun knows that Mushan has surrendered to me, he will send troops to fight?" Cai Tu asked rhetorically.

"I guess so!"

"Humph!" Cai Tu snorted coldly: "I don't think so, Nanyang County was taken back by Lord Qin from the Yellow Turban thieves, if it weren't for Zhao Ci's rebellion, it wouldn't be necessarily, how could he be able to command Nanyang County, the first county in the world, although he has nearly more than 10,000 soldiers, but at least two-thirds of the thirty-seven counties in Nanyang County do not respect his good orders, how dare he send troops easily!" ”

After the Yellow Turban Uprising in Nanyang County, the scale of county soldiers in each county was expanded, and the county commanders or county magistrates of each county had power, food, and soldiers in their hands, so they naturally straightened their waists and poles, and respected the orders of the county government and did not necessarily obey orders.

This is also the reason why he has always been able to sit firmly in Wuyin County even if he does not agree with Zhang Zhi.

Cai Tu continued to talk eloquently: "Besides, if they can sue, I can naturally play, just after the battle outside the city ended, I had already sent two letters, one was to Taishou Mansion, and the other was to Xiangyang City, what the result is, it depends on who has more influence!" ”

This will be a game, when the battle started last night, he and Mu Shan were already both prosperous and lost, so he had to keep Mu Shan, and even use the influence of the Cai clan.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Li Yan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood that in this game, he was still better than making up for Cai Tu's old spiciness.

"This matter can only wait for the reaction of the county government, wait for the decision of the prince, now I can't be in a hurry, I want to talk to you, the father and son of the Mu family!"

Cai Tu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said: "After this battle, I have the intention to rein in the Mu family father and son, what do you think?" ”

Before, he was a little reluctant, but he was forced to come to this point before he cooperated with Makiyama.

However, after last night's battle, he felt that Mushan was a general, if he was allowed to continue to be a rogue Kou, it would not only be a disaster for Nanyang, but also a disaster for himself.

If Makiyama is his cherished talent. and, most importantly, pastoral landscape.

This twelve-year-old boy made him even more jealous than his father.

"My lord, they haven't touched the taxes in the county government at all, but they have taken one-third of the grain in the warehouse!" Li Yan said in a low voice: "From this point of view, they do have the intention to belong to the county government, so they respect the rules!" ”

"If this is the case, how can they gain a foothold in Wuyin, as far as I know, there are more than a thousand old and weak women and children under their command waiting to eat, and those villages outside the city are also in tatters, without wealth and food, they can't stand on their feet at all!"

Cai Tu said.

"My lord forgot, Mu Jing took the initiative to invite Ying, took their young men as soldiers, and personally exterminated the Zhu family!"

Li Yan reminded.

"It seems that this kid is very thoughtful, eighty percent of the wealth accumulated by the Zhu family over the past hundred years has fallen into his hands, and it is enough for them to settle down!" Cai Tu suddenly understood, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.

"The greatest wealth of the Zhu family is land, and I believe that they dare not act rashly!"

"I also believe that they are measured!"

Cai Tu said: "What I am thinking about now is whether I should trust them, do you know that in the future, they will be in charge of the sword soldiers, if they can't be trusted, I am afraid that we will not be able to sleep well!" ”

"My lord, until now, I can only trust!"

Li Yan said: "We have offended the Wuyin clan just now, and it may cause disgust to the county government, at this moment, if there are no strong soldiers to defend it, I am afraid that there will be a disaster for life!" ”

"Yes, we don't have a choice!"

Cai Tu nodded, handed him a letter, and said, "You can arrange for someone to send this letter of recommendation to the county government!" ”

This is to recommend Zhang Chuan, a righteous warrior of Wuyin, to the position of county lieutenant of Wuyin County.

"No!" Li Yan gave up his hand to receive the order.
