Lu Xiaoshu was full of pride, and ate and drank with everyone until late at night, before going home.

The next day, Ding Yuan sent an edict ordering Lu Xiaoshu to be the former army Sima to coordinate the extermination of the Montenegrin army in Hanoi, Shangdang, Hedong and other places! He also ordered Gao Shun to lead 20,000 foot soldiers to be stationed in Shangdang as the captain of Zuodu; The marquis became the right lieutenant and led 20,000 foot soldiers into Hanoi, all of whom were dispatched by Lu Xiaoshu. and transferred a cavalry army of 10,000 people to Lu Xiaoshu, which was personally led by him.

It turned out that the imperial court saw that the disaster of the Black Mountain Army was becoming more and more rampant, but there was a lack of troops and the major generals were unable to attack, so they ordered the prefectures and county guards to recruit troops on their own to clear them. However, this laid the foundation for the later princes to support their own troops and divide and divide the territory.

Lu Xiaoshu summoned Xu Huang, who was recruiting troops everywhere, and heard that he had recruited 30,000 new troops in just ten days, and he was greatly satisfied. A small military meeting was immediately held.

At the meeting, Lu Xiaoshu appointed Xu Huang as the cavalry lieutenant to assist in leading the cavalry army, appointed Wei Yue and Wei Xu as Gong Cao, temporarily led 30,000 new troops, and was responsible for the training of the new army.

The meeting profoundly conveyed the operational intentions of Ding Yuan, the superior at the higher level, and in light of the actual situation, drew up the operational policy of encircling first, encircling instead of fighting, and encircling points to send reinforcements.

Lu Xiaoshu made proper arrangements, cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, the New Year is approaching, I hope that our army can put down the bandits within a month, I don't want to celebrate the New Year on the battlefield!" ”

Everyone clasped their fists and said yes!

On this day, Lu Xiaoshu inspected the training status of the 30,000 New Army. I saw that the recruits were scattered, staggering one by one, with decadent faces, and there was no trace of what a victorious army should look like! The heart was extremely angry, and Wei Xu and Wei Yue were strictly ordered to focus on training the formation and discipline of the army, and if there was still no improvement after five days, pack up and go home!

Wei Xu and Wei Yue suddenly frowned, and said: "Lord Sima is inevitably difficult for a strong man, how can he drill the battle formation in just five days?" The soldiers here are all newly recruited from the people, there is no distinction between the left and right, the swords and guns cannot be mentioned, and the battle formation queue is even more unknown, and it is difficult for a strong man to become an army in five days! ”

Lu Xiaoshu said: "I don't want you to practice any battle formations, as long as the army can be lined up neatly and the orders are unified, at least it looks mighty and majestic!" Let the Black Mountain thieves be afraid and dare not fight the enemy! Otherwise, what is the difference between a loose army like this and that rabble? ”

The two didn't dare to say more, so they took the order and left.

In the next few days, Lu Xiaoshu supervised the training in the military camp every day, and he had to give instructions and correct the deficiencies in the training. When Lu Xiaoshu went to school in his later life, he experienced military training several times and had a lot of experience in this.

Wei Xu and Wei Yue saw that Lu Xiaoshu's training method was very peculiar, and it was very different from the ancient method, although they didn't know the reason for this, but they saw that the appearance of the army had changed greatly, the queue marched in an orderly manner, and the orders were magnificent, and they couldn't help but admire it even more, thinking that they were worthy of being a god general who could break through 100,000 Hun cavalry, and it was really extraordinary!

Five days later, Lu Xiaoshu saw that the army was properly trained and the appearance of the army had improved greatly, so he ordered the garrisons in various places to divide and encircle the various Montenegrin army forces. Occasionally, a small group of thieves were not afraid of death and came to attack, but they were also broken by strong bows and crossbows. For only a few days, the Black Mountain thieves were trapped between the poor mountains and no water, and they couldn't communicate with each other!

It was the middle of winter, the roads were closed by heavy snow, the supply of thieves was difficult, and there was a shortage of ordnance, but within a few days, a small group of thieves surrendered with white banners! Lu Xiaoshu resisted public opinion and accepted the surrender. Seeing this situation, the armies of Montenegro were even more obedient, and in less than a month, the rampant banditry in the state has greatly changed!

Lu Xiaoshu divided and scattered all the troops surrendered by the Black Mountain Army, and reorganized them among the officers and soldiers everywhere, with Gao Shun, Hou Cheng, Wei Yue, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, and Cheng Lian each receiving 20,000, plus 10,000 elite cavalry led by Xu Huang, a total of 130,000, which was a great shock for a while!

Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin army, saw that the general situation was not good, and he was afraid that other counties would act like this, so he sent an envoy to Luoyang to beg for surrender to the imperial court.

At this point, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which had plagued the Han court for several years, was finally reversed, and the government and the opposition were all rejoicing!

At the beginning of the month, Lu Xiaoshu moved to Taiyuan, and Ding Yuan led the officials and generals to greet Shili, which was a compliment! I saw that Lu Xiaoshu's army was neatly arranged, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent, and I was even more overjoyed!

At the celebration dinner that night, Ding Yuan was full of red light, and said in high spirits: "This time to pacify the Black Mountain Army, Fengxian has made outstanding achievements, and the First World War has quelled the disaster of civil unrest that has plagued the imperial court for many years, which is really a peerless achievement, and everyone here should take this as a model and make new contributions for the country and the people!" ”

Lu Xiaoshu hugged his fists and said: "The main reason for this battle is that the righteous father commanded properly, and the sergeants fought bravely to kill the enemy, but Lu Bu just pushed the boat down the river and didn't dare to say anything!" ”

Don't drive Yan Song and said with a smile: "Don't be humble in Fengxian, although Lord Zhou Mu has the merit of wise decision-making, if Fengxian commands it, the merit of quelling chaos and eliminating thieves cannot be erased!" The success of the first battle before the end of the year is determined, and it is a great achievement for the people of the court, which is really gratifying! ”

Ding Yuan said with a smile: "What Mr. said is extremely true, it is a blessing for my Han to have such a tiger general, and he should float this cup!" ”

Everyone said yes, and they all drank it all.

Gao Shun is not good at drinking, and after tasting it, Fang Shuang said: "I have never won such an easy battle since I joined the army, and I almost effortlessly broke the thieves. Master Sima, I respect you! As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

Lu Xiaoshu was a little shy by everyone's praise, his cheeks were hot, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, false praise, false praise!" "Drink it all, too.

Yan Song said with a smile: "Feng ancestors among the dragon and phoenix, this battle is built a great cause, I see that the marriage can be done a year ago, three days later, the ninth day of the lunar month, is the auspicious day of the zodiac, the most suitable to marry, double happiness is wonderful!" “

Ding Yuan also smiled and said: "Mr. is reasonable, such a tiger general, it is natural to give birth to a tiger as soon as possible, which is the blessing of my great man!" ”

Everyone said yes and congratulated each other!

Lu Xiaoshu was originally praised in the clouds, I don't know where he is, and when he was mentioned about marriage again, he was even more happy, and his face turned red for a while, but he only promised, not Soyun~

That night, everyone drank and talked happily, and they all went home happy.

Lu Xiaoshu returned to his residence, the lone lamp in the house danced, staring at the dancing flames, and for a while the wine swelled up, and his thoughts soared outside the nine heavens and clouds, and all kinds of past surges. In the past life, he lived in secret, in this life he lived in the mountains, in the previous killing smoke, and now he is calm and lonely. Thinking of Yan Xiuli's bright and bright face, she couldn't help but feel boundless warmth in her chest, and murmured: "Yes, it's good to have someone to accompany her!" ”

Suddenly, I heard a strange sound from the roof, as if there was a strong man! Lu Xiaoshu's face sank, and he grabbed the door with Fang Tian's halberd, and followed the prestige, only to see Yan Xiuli sitting upright on the eaves, wearing a fox fur jacket, a flower mink soft hat on her head, swaying a pair of calves, and smiling at him.
