Li Shi and Di Zhuang returned to the courtyard where Zhou Nan lived, and Zhou Nan, Yang Keshi, and Gao Yuan were all there. Zhou Nan asked, "Li Hanlin and General Di are here to persuade them to surrender, I don't know what the attitude of those three people is?" ”

  "With Li Hanlin coming forward, he is naturally willing to submit to the imperial court, and even the most arrogant Ma Fangyu has to obediently agree." Di Zhuang said with a laugh.

  "I don't think so, then Ma Tianyu is the most arrogant and has the most violent temper, why is he willing to suppress his anger and endure it?" Thinking of the situation when Ma Tianyu heard his words, he was furious and was about to have a seizure on the spot, but suddenly sat down silently, Li Shi felt a little strange.

  "No matter how grumpy he is, he's not a fool, is he?" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "If you are not a fool, you should think that there is still some way out." Now it seems that Ma Tianyu must have thought of this joint, so he was willing to swallow his anger. ”

  Yang Keshi also said, "Eighty thousand Xi soldiers were finally captured, and only 30,000 Pingzhou troops could set off any storms?" ”

  Li Shi was about to open his mouth to remind, but after thinking about it, he had just thrown himself under Zhou Nan's account, and he argued with Zhou Nan's right-hand man, which was somewhat annoying. Besides, I am just guessing, not certain. If you guess wrong, wouldn't it be a waste of nothing? Thinking of this, Li Shi just said, "I'll go tomorrow and wait for the three of them to reply." ”

  Zhou Nan said to Li Shi: "Li Hanlin doesn't have to care, if they have the intention to make trouble, what can they do?" If he dared to disobey, he let him have nowhere to stay in Yanjing. Tomorrow, Li Hanlin will be asked to go to the camp in the west of the city to wait for the news of these three people, and General Di will follow Brother Yang to select elite soldiers, and the rest who are not selected will be discharged and returned home, and the local government will soon distribute the land so that they will not be left begging. General Di can temporarily stay in the army, and then choose whether to remain in the army or transfer to a local position. ”

  "Thank you, General Zhou." Di Zhuang knew that this was a condition that Zhou Nan only offered to himself, and for the rest of the generals who had not yet returned to obedience, he was afraid that there would not be such good conditions, so he was sincerely grateful to Zhou Nan.

  "I don't know how many elite soldiers Dalang is going to select?" Yang Keshi, who has always liked to lead the more troops, the better, now began to ask this question cautiously. If it were as usual, of course Yang Keshi would not ask Zhou Nan how many elite soldiers he would choose, as long as he thought he was a good soldier, he would be selected into the army. However, a large number of elite soldiers were selected from the Xi soldiers just a few years ago, and now there are more than 60,000 horses, and half of them are cavalry. Now that he is choosing elite soldiers, even Yang Keshi faintly feels too much in his heart.

  Zhou Nan replied, "It's better to have a shortage than an abundance, it's still the old rule, give priority to those who are new to the army and have poor families." 3,000 horse troops and 6,000 infantry troops will be selected, and the drill will begin tomorrow, and you will train the troops. ”

  "It's up to Brother Gao to practice, right?" As soon as Yang Keshi heard that he was asked to train the recruits, he had no chance to lead the troops into battle, so he said reluctantly.

  "Hehe," Gao Yuan smiled wickedly, "Then why don't we two change it, I'll train these Pingzhou troops, how about it?" Yang Keshi's face was happy, and he was about to agree, but he heard Gao Yuan say again, "When those Xi soldiers come back, the more than 20,000 Xi soldiers will be trained by you." ”

  Yang Keshi was speechless for a moment, and turned to beg Zhou Nandao, "Da Lang, I naturally won't shirk this matter of training recruits, and it's not because I'm afraid of hardship." It's just that Pingzhou has not recovered, how can you train here with peace of mind? It's better to recover the entire territory of Pingzhou first, and then practice slowly. ”

  Gao Yuan also had a general idea, "Da Lang, what Brother Yang said is that it is better to take these selected elite soldiers of the Pingzhou Army to the east together to attack the states in Pingzhou, and then Brother Yang and I will slowly train." What do you think? ”

  "Then after the Xi soldiers come over in two days, how will they command?" Zhou Nan was not in the direction, and more than 20,000 Xi soldiers were left unattended, and they lived idle in Zunhua City. In that case, something will happen in a few days.

  "You can let Gao Shouzhong from Jizhou rush to Zunhua and train these Xi soldiers with Agu Zhe." Takato proposed. Agu Zhe was most convinced of Zhou Nan, giving up the position of the young patriarch and being willing to follow Zhou Nan, of course it was credible, and Gao Shouzhong's pressure on the side of the drill could also work.

  "Okay, the matter of Pingzhou can't be delayed, and the matter of training recruits will be postponed for a while. But the matter of selecting elite soldiers, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you and Brother Yang will definitely complete it. Zhou Nan finally agreed with Gao Yuan's idea.

  "Don't worry!" Gao Yuan assured.

  "When the matter here in Zunhua is resolved, we should immediately send a letter to the DPRK and the central government, urging them to send some officials to recover a city, and then we must rectify a city and stabilize a city, so that we can catch up with the spring ploughing and not miss the agricultural time." Zhou Nan saw that the 30,000 besieging Pingzhou troops outside the city were about to submit to him, and Zhang Jue, the initiator of the Pingzhou Rebellion, had also been killed under the bombing arrows, so he naturally thought of the management of these states and counties in Pingzhou, which could not be like Jizhou, and when Jizhou, Guoyin, Xianghe and other states and counties were defeated, the governors and counties of the state capitals were not yet in place, and the Wansheng army involved in addition to defending the city, they also had to worry about the security in the city, soup kitchen, and check the hunger and cold of the people.

  This time, Pingzhou Road was already leaderless, and only some defenders of various state cities remained. With more than 60 million victorious troops under his command, it is enough to easily recover the states. Then take the elite soldiers of the Xi army to follow, and then take advantage of the few days of repairing here, send a letter to Yu Liyan to send some capable officials to follow him with Xi Jun. After capturing a city, he left a Xi army as the defender of the city, and left two officials to manage government affairs, so that he would not delay his capture of the remaining states and counties, nor would he let the newly recovered states and counties regain twists and turns.

  General Zhou was extremely worried. It is a blessing for the people of Pingzhou to be stable early! I want to thank the general for the father of Pingzhou! Zhou Nan was able to honestly talk about his next plan in front of him and Di Zhuang, of course, he trusted him and Di Zhuang, which made Li Shi very grateful. Zhou Nan has not yet attacked Pingzhou, but he first thought about how to make the people not miss the agricultural time as soon as possible after recovering Pingzhou, which is very different from Zhang Jue. His family is in Luanzhou, and he also knows how small the people are in the face of the disaster of swords, and Zhou Nan is naturally grateful for such an arrangement.

  The five of them talked about it again, Li Shi and Di Zhuang were well aware of the geography and people of Pingzhou, the customs and customs, and they knew very well about the generals and officials of various prefectures and counties, and knew that Zhou Nan's next step was to recover Pingzhou, and they all told them all about what they knew. Li Shi and Di Zhuang also made suggestions and suggestions, and discussed with Zhou Nan, Yang Keshi and others about the route of the march, the order of the prefectures and counties to be attacked, etc., so that Zhou Nan had a good idea of recovering Pingzhou.

  It wasn't until after dinner that Li Shi and the others said goodbye and went back, leaving Zhou Nan alone, that Zhou Nan ordered someone to bring hot water, wash his face, sit down at the desk again, and began to write letters to Yu Liyan. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
