Since ancient times, the homeland of the Chinese people has been difficult to leave.

No, the content of the notice was quickly spread throughout Luyang City.

As soon as the news spread, many people in the city immediately took their families and belongings out of the city on the same day.

Some people are going to hide from relatives in the countryside, but some people are planning to go directly to Luyang Mountain.

It is not surprising that some people in Luyang City are related to the rebels or bandits on Luyang Mountain, or even collude with each other.

Regarding this phenomenon, the soldiers who Fu Tong arranged to guard here at the four city gates were all blind to it, and they all regarded it as if they didn't see it. This is because Fu Tong had already expected this situation in advance, so he had instructed the generals in charge of guarding the city gate in advance not to stop the people from leaving the city.

Note that this refers to the common people, and if the wealthy families in the city are ready to leave, the soldiers defending the city will surely stop them all. Fu Tong's subordinates don't know the rich merchants or families in the city, it doesn't matter, the defenders of Luyang City who were captured by Fu Tong's troops naturally became the best leading party, that is a finger and a point, and Fu Tong does not let these leading parties who think they have to take great risks work in vain.

If a wealthy merchant or a family wants to escape from the city, once the soldiers defending the city are caught, their wealth will be attributed to the generals and soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city gates.

As a result, when two or three merchants in a row were intercepted by the leading party at the gate of the city and their homes were raided, the various families and wealthy merchants in the city no longer dared to leave the city without permission.

In the notice, although Fu Tong said that he would forcibly relocate the people, in fact, he would only take away the people who were hesitant, as well as all the families and wealthy merchants in the city.

As for those 'people' who don't want to leave and just want to stay in Luyang County, Fu Tong won't really use force on them.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, with a mighty army, drove directly from Luyang Mountain into Luyang City.

Before, when Wancheng and Fu Tong were separated, they each had more than 3,000 soldiers in their hands, but at this time, as long as they were not blind, they could estimate from the size of these three armies that the number of soldiers in this army had definitely exceeded 5,000.

The specific figure is that Ma Han has 8,000 people under his command, Zhao Hu has 5,000 people, and the total number of soldiers under Zhang Long is the most exaggerated, and the soldiers he brought into Luyang City actually exceeded 10,000.

Zhang An and Zhang Ying, who witnessed this scene, watched the army enter the city, and Fu Tong personally welcomed the three 'bandits' leaders who entered the city with more than 20,000 soldiers into the county office.

This new Nanyang County Taishou is really not talking empty words, and the troops recruited by one person from Luyang Mountain alone have exceeded 20,000 people.

Looking for an opportunity to get to Fu Tong's side, Zhang An lowered his voice and asked in dismay: "Fu Taishou, these three are the good brothers you said, and the subordinates of the lower officials don't look like bandits or rebels." More than 20,000 soldiers, not to mention the number of soldiers, judging from their military appearance and military discipline alone, not to mention the cowards in Luyang City, even our Jingzhou soldiers are slightly inferior to them! ”

After all, Zhang An is an old soldier, and he can see the problem at a glance.

In fact, this is also a matter of habit.

The generals trained by Jin Jue all have this problem. As soon as Ma Han took over the 10,000 Nanyang troops left by Zhang Xiu from Hu Che'er, they immediately began to distribute and train these soldiers.

Less than one-fifth of these 10,000 soldiers were veterans who had been fighting with Zhang Xiu and Cao's army, and in the second battle of Nanyang, Zhang Xiujun and Liu Biaojun were defeated by Cao Cao, and Zhang Xiu's army lost many veterans. The remaining four-fifths were all new recruits from the counties he controlled in Nanyang County in the last year.

When dividing the troops, Ma Han and the three of them discussed and unanimously decided to assign all the veterans, that is, about 2,000 people, to Zhao Hu's jurisdiction. The reason is that among the three, Zhao Hu is relatively the least good at leading troops, but Zhao Hu is the strongest in personal martial arts among the three. Only he can use his personal martial arts to subdue those veteran oils as soon as possible.

There are more than 8,000 left, and Ma Han and Zhang Long share it equally.

Starting from Wancheng, the three Mahan led their respective troops and separated.

Ma Han and Zhang Long first went west, and then turned north, after all, the two of them had more soldiers, and they did not have Zhao Hu's 2,000 men in action, which was easy to expose the troops' hiding.

When heading to Luyang Mountain, the three troops first marched during the day and camped at night.

Along the way, while training the soldiers under their respective commands, Mahan and the others used the secret recipe provided by Jin Jue - fish gallbladder to basically cure the soldiers under their command who suffered from night blindness.

After relieving the problem of night blindness, Mahan and the three of them changed the time of the army's march, just like when Fu Tong marched into Luyang City, they all adopted the method of 'camping during the day and marching at night'.

Just when Fu Tong followed Liu Bei to Jingzhou to gain Liu Biao's trust and managed to obtain the position of Taishou of Nanyang County, the three of them had already taken a step ahead and quietly entered the Luyang Mountain.

After entering the mountain, Mahan and his team adopted the method of 'saluting first and then soldiering', first sending envoys to try to recruit the rebels from all walks of life in the mountain, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army or the bandits.

Unexpectedly, in the meantime, there was a bandit leader who believed that he was strong in martial arts, and he refused to surrender, but this guy actually didn't pay attention to the rules, and killed the messenger sent by Zhao Hu in front of his subordinates.

When Zhao Hu heard the news, he was furious, and without informing Ma Han and Zhang Long, on the night of the letter, he led his troops to attack the bandits' lair alone, he not only beheaded the arrogant and brainless bandit leader, but also killed all the bandits in the bandits' den, and finally, he also set a fire and burned the entire thieves' den to ashes.

After this battle, in Luyang Mountain, although Zhao Hu made a name for himself, after several power-ups of the rebel army or bandit leaders in the mountains, all those who were willing to surrender chose to submit to Ma Han or Zhang Long.

Zhang Long is a delicate person, extremely good at making friends with people, and he is very good-looking, so he recruits the largest number of people. And those who returned to Ma Han were all able to talk to him, and they couldn't get used to Zhang Long's little white face.
