One night, on a major road in Changshan County, Zhang Yu marched overnight with 5,000 men and horses.

This time they did not make a big fanfare, but changed into the armor of the previously captured Jizhou army.

Changing into Jizhou's armament, Zhang Yu and their walking on the road did not cause any chaos.

In the daytime, Zhang Yu and the others were still walking on the road unhurriedly.

"Lord, are these Jizhou people more difficult to use than me, we have been gone for a day, and no one has come to ask." On the way, Dian Wei said disdainfully.

Zhang Yu said: "Now everyone knows that we have gone to Zhongshan Kingdom, and the movement of Hansheng and Zilong is estimated to be very large, no one would have thought that we were wearing Jizhou clothes, but we had already run to Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

Zhang Yu and the others did have a smooth journey along the way, and they walked for a day without being discovered.

In the evening, Zhang Yu and the others arrived outside a county seat.

"Evil, get ready, if they find out, they will kill them, if they are not discovered, I will wait here for two days." Approaching the county seat, Zhang Yu said to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei nodded and quietly ordered the whole army to get ready.

Outside the county seat, the city gates have not yet closed.

Zhang Yu stepped forward with a few people, only to see a few people running out of the city.

"Meet the general, dare to ask the general what is the matter, do you need our help?" A young general ran over and said.

Zhang Yu clasped his fists with both hands to the sky and said, "On the orders of the lord, come and recruit troops, and let your county order prepare grain and grass." ”

"Yes, yes, I dare to ask the general's name, but I can prove it, and my subordinates will immediately go to tell the county commander." The young general said.

Zhang Yu reluctantly took out a special token from his arms, and then said: "In Xia Mufan, there is something important on your body, you can't delay here for too long, let your county order prepare overnight." ”

The young general took the token and inspected it for a while, then returned it to Zhang Yu respectfully, and then hurriedly let the soldiers around him go in to pay respects.

"General, please, please." The young general hurriedly invited Zhang Yu and them in.

Zhang Yu glanced back at Dian Wei and asked him to secretly put away the weapon, so as not to be discovered by the enemy when he went in.

Smooth entry into town.

Not long after entering the city, the county commander hurried over with more than a dozen people.

"General Mu, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome." The county magistrate came up enthusiastically and said.

Zhang Yu still had a cold face, nodded and said: "Lord County Commander, official business, the lord is urging more urgently, Zhang Yu's thief is making trouble in my Jizhou, and Gongsun Chan has a change, the lord specially ordered me to come here to recruit troops, and I hope that the county commander will cooperate." ”

"Definitely, definitely. Please rest assured, General Mu. The county commander hurriedly assured, and the officials behind him also responded one by one.

The news of this county order is also relatively well-informed, and I have long heard that Jizhou is recruiting troops in various places, so it is not strange that Yuan Shao sent people here to recruit troops.

"Then thank you to the prefectural magistrate." Zhang Yu said.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's my duty to wait." The county magistrate hurriedly said.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, when I go back, I will definitely say a few good words to the lord." ”

"Good, good, good, thank you General Mu." The county commander's face was about to turn into a flower when he heard it.

"General Mu, I have prepared a banquet below, I want to invite General Mu to the cold house to have a few drinks, I don't know General Mu..."

The county order invited Zhang Yu to the banquet at this time.

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about this problem before.

"Lord County Commander, there is an urgent matter under it, it is really inconvenient, the lord asked me to recruit troops in the surrounding area, to recruit 20,000 soldiers and horses, please forgive me, but how can I not appreciate the good intentions of the Lord of the County Order, it is better to wait for me to return from recruitment, pass through here, and then ask the Lord of the County Order for a glass of wine."

The county commander was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that Zhang Yu was going to recruit 20,000 soldiers, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

"I heard that there is a child of the Mu family who is favored by the lord, and sure enough, he was given such an important task." The county order's heart is alive.

Zhang Yu fraudulently used Mu Fan's name, of course, it was not taken casually, but the token he seized on the battlefield, and the owner of the token was Mu Fan.

Zhang Yu didn't expect that this Mu Fan was from a small family in Jizhou, and although he hadn't seen this county order, he had heard some news, so he was so enthusiastic about Zhang Yu.

The county commander wanted to tie up with Zhang Yu, so he said: "General Mu's task is so heavy, it really can't be delayed, but I can help General Mu in the future." ”

Zhang Yu was surprised, he didn't expect this county order to be so cooperative, so he asked, "What does the county order mean?" ”

"General Mu, the surrounding counties are also familiar with Xia, I will send them an official letter to get ready, so that when the general goes, he can start recruiting troops, and even let them prepare grain, grass, camps and strong men first, and things will be much easier for the general to go."

Zhang Yu said happily: "In this way, there is Lord Lao County." ”

Zhang Yu was very happy, with this county order to send an official letter, the credibility of his identity has increased a lot, and it will be very smooth at that time.

Zhang Yu hurriedly promised that after he went back, he would definitely say a few good words to Yuan Shao for him, which made the county order flutter.

The county magistrate did not suspect Zhang Yu's identity, and immediately wrote an official letter after he returned.

And Zhang Yu and they lived in the city with peace of mind, and the grain and grass were directly provided by the county order.

The next day, Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei to start leading troops out to recruit soldiers, and he himself guarded with 2,000 men.

A day passed, and the prefectural commander still did not suspect him, and the recruitment went very smoothly.

In order to create a busy and tense atmosphere, Zhang Yu took the soldiers and horses to recruit soldiers in person the next day, and went out early and returned late, trying not to contact the county order, so as not to expose himself.

After staying here for two days, Zhang Yu recruited 5,000 people.

After the recruitment, Zhang Yu naturally didn't want to stay, so he directly packed his things and prepared to leave.

The county commander hurriedly came with his staff to see him off.

"General Mu, when you come back, you must come to this county, and this county will treat General Mu well." The prefectural order said.

"Haha, the county commander is so enthusiastic, he doesn't know where to lift, if it weren't for the urgency of the war, he would have to stay with you for a few days." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu left with people, and the county order was also very careful, and took his subordinates to send Zhang Yu and them three miles away before leaving.

"Haha, lord, it's so interesting, I didn't expect the county order to be so useless, and treat us as uncles." After leaving, Dian Wei laughed triumphantly.

"Hehe, when the county magistrate knows our identity, I don't know what the expression will be."

Zhang Yu was also speechless, he didn't expect that he would be so warmly entertained by the officials of Jizhou.

However, this also made it much easier for Zhang Yu and them to act.

The nearest county seat was about two and a half days away, and Zhang Yu led the people to move forward unhurriedly.
