A few days after Cao Zhen met Yuan Yun, Cao Cao finally organized a big meeting in Yecheng, which was attended by almost all officials from Xu Du, and the meeting was presided over by Guo Jia, which made many people immediately understand Cao Cao's intentions, that is, the Northern Expedition had been determined.

Yuan Yun was very puzzled why there were so many old officials in the court, so many of them came to Yecheng, it is estimated that they were holding the mentality of taking advantage, after all, Yecheng was a big city that was once very rich in the north, and now that the old lord Yuan Shao is gone, then there will naturally be a lot of benefits, and which of these old officials is not a huge family behind them, so so many people will come to Yecheng, naturally to lay a big foundation for the future of the family.

"Shameless!" Yuan Yun said a word in his heart, and his face twitched in an instant, how could he not be like this, but he started planning earlier than these old officials.

Now in addition to the sale of grain in the four northern states, many business routes have also been grasped by the shopkeeper of the Yuan Mansion, which is more than two years earlier than others, and those unknown minerals have begun to cooperate with the Guo family at this moment, and when others react, this industry is basically fixed.

"Now that the Northern Expedition has been established, all the dukes present need to make some contributions, the army has gradually rushed to this side, and the grain and grass needed behind it still need to be collected, so don't all the dukes close their doors when the time comes." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he glanced at the audience with a sneer, he didn't have any intention of giving face at all, some of them were particularly picky, and they would be stared at by him repeatedly, knowing that the other party would lower his head, he would be satisfied.

Yuan Yun watched from the side, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, Guo Jia is like this, although he is only eight fights high and has unparalleled wisdom, but this temperament is too bad, he never gives anyone face, and if he is not smart, he will basically be tortured by him, so few people can become Guo Jia's friends until now.

"After making a plan today, there will be sergeants at your homes early tomorrow morning to collect grain, if you think that you can smuggle the grain and grass away tonight, then I would like to advise the princes, don't be caught, otherwise they will be dealt with in accordance with military law." Guo Jia was still talking there, completely ignoring the indignant faces of the group of people below.

Yuan Yun is more boring now, this kind of meeting is to issue the Northern Expedition order, not a specific marching strategy, so it's basically everyone you look at me, I look at you, and then wait for Guo Jia to announce the matter, and finally decide who is responsible for what, even if it is settled.

"It's boring."

It was not Yuan Yun who muttered quietly, but Le Jin sitting next to him, who was already recognized as a 'first-ascending general', and it was because of his courage in battle that he would always occupy the enemy's city before anything else went wrong, so he had this name.

Le Jin saw that Yuan Yun was looking at him, so he immediately glanced left and right, and found that no one was paying attention, so he immediately dragged the mat on the ground of the buttocks, and then swayed to his side.

Yuan Yun saw that Le Jin moved to his left side, and immediately wanted to hide, this bastard would stick to it, it was definitely not a good thing.

Sure enough, Yuan Yun just finished thinking about it, and then heard Le Jin say with a smile: "Yuan Hou, you gave Cao Zhen so many armor and sword soldiers, should you also get some for my deployment, they are all some people who enter the field to climb the enemy's city, if you have a set of armor like a gunpowder army, you will definitely lose a lot of manpower." ”

Yuan Yun laughed dryly, and then spread his hands and said: "That's it, now that General Cao Zhen has taken the lead, Ben Hou really has no extra in his hands, and now Luoyang is still building, but it will take some time to complete, and the price is not cheap, General Cao Zhen really gave Luoyang 300,000 yuan." ”

Le Jin rubbed his hands, and then said with a smile: "Money is not a problem, every time my department enters the city first, so I get more than others, if Yuan Hou can get those armor and swords, only 300,000 yuan, I promise to pay it all at once." ”

Yuan Yun looked at Le Jin's impatient look, and could only shake his head and sigh: "Let's wait a while, even if Luoyang doesn't sleep every day, it is impossible to produce more than 10,000 people of armor and sword soldiers at once." ”

Le Jin saw that Yuan Yun did not object, his face was naturally full of joy, he could get Luoyang's armor and sword soldiers, this has almost become the long-cherished wish of every army in Cao's camp, it is really because the quality is too good, after Xu Chu and Xiahoudun were equipped before, the combat attrition was immediately reduced by forty percent, which is simply an astronomical figure, and like this, the rest will soon be veterans of a hundred battles, such a force is something that soldiers dream of.

As for the money of 300,000 yuan, although it is indeed a lot, in the eyes of a general like Le Jin, armor and swords are the real king, if the money is gone, it is enough to go to the enemy to rob it, this is his basic logic.

After thinking about this, Le Jin suddenly smiled, and then continued to Yuan Yun: "Don't ask for 10,000 people, as long as Yuan Hou arms me with 3,000 people, I will be satisfied, as for money, there will definitely be no less, and what Yuan Hou says is what the price is, I will definitely not bargain."

In addition, can Yuan Hou help train some medical soldiers in our army, that is, those people that your gunpowder army often brings, these people are treasures now, General Xu Chu and General Xiahoudun are full of praise for these people, Xiahoudun not to mention, Xu Chu's mouth stinks, if he can praise something, it is definitely a really good thing, so I thought, how to get some into my team. ”

"General Lejin knows the purpose of the medical corps? They don't know how to fight. Yuan Yun said casually.

Le Jin was stunned when he heard this, his face was full of doubts, and he continued to nod after a long time: "Then don't fight, it's okay to raise these people for nothing, in short, I hope Yuan Hou can train some for me." ”

Yuan Yun squinted at Le Jin, and found that this person's logic was very strong, and he didn't understand anything at all, so he dared to take it into his own deployment, and he really knew Xu Chu very well, and with the other party's reaction, he judged the value of the medical soldier, and he didn't know whether the other party was smart or lucky.

Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, Yuan Yun replied: "The camp of our gunpowder army is now north of Yecheng, and General Cao Zhen has also stationed the tiger and leopard cavalry over there. ”

When Yuan Yun said this, he was completely out of his good impression of Le Jin, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as this sentence came out, the land north of Yecheng would soon be insufficient, because after all the troops heard the news, they all began to send their deployment over to camp, and everyone naturally wanted to get a medical camp for themselves.

For this matter, there are even wrong generals pinching each other, because the territory is so big, you also come and I come, it is not enough to set up a camp tent, and finally after Cao Cao heard this, he found Yuan Yun and scolded him, and then he had no choice but to choose to draw lots to decide whose troops could be stationed on the edge of the camp of the Gunpowder Army.

Since then, the Gunpowder Army has become a fragrant bun, but anyone who can be stationed with the brothers of the Gunpowder Army, everyone will feel that they have won the lottery, and almost all the brothers in the battalion will be happy about it, because the camp of the Gunpowder Army is always the safest, in addition, you can occasionally mix some food in the gunpowder barracks, which is definitely the biggest attraction, of course, the premise is that you must have acquaintances in the Gunpowder Army.

Yuan Yun couldn't think of the future development at this time, so he continued to chat with Le Jin, and after the two chatted for a while, Le Jin suddenly laughed, and then said in a low voice: "I got a great benefit from Gao Gan in the early days. ”

Yuan Yun was slightly stunned, not knowing why the other party suddenly said Gao Gan.

Seeing Yuan Yun's confused expression, Le Jin hurriedly explained: "Gao Gan intercepted a large amount of gold from Cao Ren's Hanoi County before, but in the end it was all cheaper for me, but I was the first to rush into the city guarded by Gao Gan with my subordinates, I didn't ask for anything in that battle, that is, I took away all the gold in Gao Gan's mansion, and now this gold is in my camp, the armor and sword soldiers that Yuan Hou promised, it is better for me to pay for it first." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched twice, and he asked suspiciously, "Why is General Lejin so anxious?" ”

Le Jin stretched his neck and glanced around again, then lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Today, I am relatively close to Yuan Hou sitting, this is called what is near the water and what month, if I am a little slower, other generals will definitely find Yuan Hou first, but then my deployment is not to wait in line for new armor and swords, so today is my luck, so don't hurry up and set this matter first." ”

When Le Jin said this, he found that Xun You was scanning him with his eyes, so he immediately straightened his waist, and then pretended to be fine, and began to look at Guo Jia in the field to speak, only when Xun You's eyes were removed, he immediately whispered to Yuan Yun: "After this meeting is over, I will immediately ask people to send the gold to Yuan Hou, and there is no need to be so troublesome about this matter, Yuan Hou is a trustworthy person." ”

An hour later, the meeting was over, and when Yuan Yun walked out of the mansion built by Yuan Shao before, he felt that his buttocks began to ache all over his body, because just under the steps outside, there were already a bunch of people standing there, and when he saw that it was all the generals, everyone was rubbing their hands there, and then looked at him with their necks up, as if they were waiting for him to come out.

And beside this group of generals, there was Xu Chu, who was blowing loudly, only to hear him say that the bright silver armor armed by his troops was like the armor of the gods, what kind of golden boulder thrown by the other party with a stone thrower, he didn't kill a small soldier under him, just because the little soldier wore Luoyang-style armor, and there was a milk egg who had just joined the army, and he cut off the opponent's partial general with a sword, just because he was holding a standard long sword produced in Luoyang.

"I'll it, it's the rhythm of death."

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, and then began to look around, he now had the urge to escape over the wall, just looking at the height of the wall of Yuan Shao's previous mansion, and finally gave up this plan, he could only walk down the steps hard, but he kept scolding Xu Chu in his heart, and then made a major decision, that is, when he returned to Luoyang, he must catch Xu Yi and beat him a hundred times.
