After settling the problem with Tianxiang on the resettlement of the Banton clan, He Chen began to work on the issue of the new formation of the rangers, the sword soldiers, and the sharpshooters.

With the prestige of the foundation laid in the past six months, as well as the amazing achievements in the Battle of Jiaziqiu, coupled with the surprising treatment of these corps, it can be said that the recruits have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. There are also many alien races in the depths of the mountains, poor and destitute people with lofty ideals, and He Chen even saw the sturdy Southern Huns, who also ran from Hexi County, just to become a soldier under He Chen.

In less than a month, the personnel of each formation have been gathered. These people don't talk about fighting, just looking at the size of the people is staggering. With a long tiger's back and a sturdy and burly body, he knows at a glance that he has the potential to become an elite soldier in a hundred battles. Perhaps because of the hodgepodge of the ethnic group, He Chen even found that the soldiers recruited here were even beyond the front line of soldiers from Nanyang in terms of physical fitness alone. So much so that the remaining strong men who were not selected for the three special forces corps were snatched up by several other legions that urgently needed to replenish their troops almost on the same day, and there was a lot of noise about the distribution issue, and finally it was a big surprise to He Chen in court.

In the first battle of Yanmen Pass, although Budugen was repulsed, the three corps mixed by He Chen suffered very heavy losses. In particular, the "Burning Legion" and the "Dark Moon Legion", which were the main battle sequences, almost suffered more than half of the casualties. Now that there can be such a strong recruit to replenish, all the generals are red and green, giving full play to He Chen's subtle bandit spirit.

Although the source of troops has arrived, it will take at least a year and a half to pull them out and go to the battlefield.

There is one thing that makes He Chen extremely happy, after several life battles, the system actually found that the experience bar of the spear and divine sword classes has risen by half, and it is estimated that after a few fierce battles, it will be able to upgrade and advance, and when the time comes, it will not only become more powerful, but also expand the number of people to five thousand, which makes He Chen almost have an urge to immediately pull it out and fight for it. But in the end, I resisted this temptation. Even if it hadn't gone through the Battle of Yanmen, Dingxiang and the water, and Bingzhou had been looted by foreign races for many years, and was scraped by the Baibo Army, the counties were almost poor and couldn't open the pot, if it weren't for He Chen to put Nanyang and Xiangyang in one pot of financial resources and food, I was afraid that these two wars would not be able to last. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to vigorously develop industry, agriculture, and commerce while ensuring the safety of the border, accumulate granaries, fill the treasury, and build special armor weapons.

That is to say, digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king.

Under the vigorous promotion of Tian Feng, Xun You, Li Yan and other Wenchen, the state began a vigorous movement to develop industry and commerce. When the task is assigned, they can handle it perfectly in an orderly manner. As a result, He Chen had nothing to do.

The so-called quiet is thinking and moving, and after calculating the time, He Chen prepared a private visit to Weifu to find a good general and a famous minister, and this time his eyes were directed at Zhao Yun. If he doesn't speed up, it is estimated that after a year and a half, Zhao Yun will go to Gongsun Zhan, and when he meets Liu Da'er, everything will be yellow, with the principle of strengthening his own strength and striking at his opponent, coupled with the letter sent by Zhang Xiu to Changshan, He Chen decided to personally go out to lobby. If you can't surrender, you have to tie this guy back, even if you encircle him every day to farm, you can't cheap Liu Bei's big ears. So far, He Chen has deliberately brought Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, even if he doesn't win alone, the three heroes will fight Lu Bu, right? Group fights have always been the essence of fighting.

In this way, on a crisp and cloudless day in autumn, after He Chen explained some things to Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xu Huang, he took more than a dozen entourages, dressed up in disguise, and sneaked away towards Changshan. Changshan is at the junction of Bingzhou, belongs to Zhongshan State, is under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and is Yuan Shao's territory. Of course, He Chen is not a big-mouthed person, if he said that he was going to Zhongshan Country with only ten retinues in front of the civil and military generals of Bingzhou, he would not be drowned in saliva immediately.

Everyone in the world knows that Zhao Yun is a true person of Changshan, but he does not know that Changshan belongs to Zhongshan County in Hanwei.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in addition to the Seven Heroes, there was also an eighth Hero, that is, the Zhongshan Kingdom. In the long river of Chinese history, the wonderful flower of Zhongshan has been shining with mysterious brilliance, there are many records about it in the annals, the first appeared in 506 BC, until 295 BC Zhao destroyed Zhongshan for more than 200 years, are vaguely visible. In Zhongshan County, most of them are the Xianyu tribe of the Di tribe in the north, and the surname is Bai Di for Ji, and after being destroyed by King Zhao Wuling during the Warring States Period, it disappeared into the dust of history. It wasn't until Han Wei came out with a wise and brave man named Zhao Yun that Zhongshan County entered the eyes of the world from the new.

From Jinyang to Zhongshan, go straight through Leping County, out of the well and Chengguan, it will not take a few days to reach Changshan Zhending.

One of the biggest problems is the Jingcheng Pass. Taihang Mountain is the backbone of the world, and Taihang Eight Shan connects Yan, Jin and Zhao. And the Huguan in the south, Tianjing Pass and Jingcheng Pass are collectively called "Shangdang Three Passes". Among them, He Chen controlled Tianjing and Huguan, and Jingcheng happened to fall into the hands of Yuan Shao.

But this problem was quickly solved with the arrival of Wang Ruohua.

In fact, after Wang Ruohua was assassinated to death by Wang Ji in Taiyuan, he and Wang Ling and Wang Chen, together with their mothers, returned to Qixiang in the name of mourning, and since then they have completely gotten rid of Dong Zhuo's control and lived in Bingzhou.

Then He Chen went north to Yanmen to fight against Xianbei, and when he followed Qixiang, he also promoted these two young generals and let them belong to Zhang Liao's subordinates. At the same time, he also secretly hired Wang Ruohua, hoping that she would serve as the leader of his new secret spy "Fang". Wang Ruohua didn't think about it for long before agreeing and began to set up a company. After more than half a year, under Wang Ruohua's hard work, the "fangs" quickly formed a scale, and the secret agent nails began to penetrate the entire territory of North China, including a large amount of intelligence collection in Hebei and Youzhou. Among them, the news about Zhao Yun is the most important.

It's just that because the "Fangs" have not been formed long ago, there are too many things to be busy with, and there are really not many opportunities for He Chen to meet Wang Ruohua. This time he went out to look for Zhao Yun, and for the sake of convenience, Wang Ruohua instructed Kong Zhou, the second commander of the "Fangs", to come out to help. If you want to say that this Kong Zhou, since He Chen broke the Bai Bo Army, he let this self-righteous guy go, but he didn't expect to meet him again in Qixiang Wang's house not long after, listened to Wang Ruohua's opinion, and understood that this guy has a very good ability to steal chickens and dogs, so he also promoted him generously. Of course, in terms of loyalty, He Chen has been secretly sending people to secretly investigate, and if there is a sign of something wrong, he will unceremoniously take it directly.

In Jingcheng Pass, Kong Zhou bribed the soldiers guarding the pass with a lot of money in the name of the caravan, and then successfully cleared the customs.

After passing the checkpoint, it took a few more days to arrive at Zhending County.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, the Black Mountain Army was still rampant in the Taihang area of Hebei, and the county seat of Zhending was also extremely depressed, with few pedestrians on the street, and it was difficult to see the merchant inn. I finally found a place to sharpen it, and what was given was the coarse chaff of wild vegetables, and the thing was almost difficult to swallow.

"Bang" Dian Wei threw away the porcelain bowl in his hand, and the turbid yellow wine was spilled all over the ground, and the whole person was staring with leopard eyes and anger.

"Shopkeeper, Hugh is going to bully me and fool me with the seeping wine. Believe it or not, I immediately smashed your black shop. ”

"A good man is angry, a good man is angry." The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, looking at the porcelain bowl on the ground that had been broken into several pieces with a bitter face, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he kept apologizing with fear.

Dian Wei didn't dare to really be rude because He Chen was sitting next to him, but just said intimidatingly: "Then don't change to fine wine quickly, I can't miss your wine money." If you mess around with me again, you will be beaten all over the ground and thrown out of the store. ”

The shopkeeper's legs were weak, and he was frightened by Dian Wei's handstand, angry expression, and almost knelt on the ground, begging: "The heroes don't know, now the world is chaotic, bandits and bullies are rampant, and there is no last meal, where to get good wine." ”

Dian Wei slapped the table hard, only to fall apart, He Chen frowned, flashed a trace of displeasure, stopped Dian Wei, who was about to go crazy, and shouted: "Old Dian, why bother the store? ”

Dian Wei's body froze, and then he snorted heavily, staring at the shopkeeper with a fierce light, and then he was unhappy.

"Come here, the contemptible person has something to ask you."

The shopkeeper saw that although He Chen looked fierce and vicious, he was kind and pleasant, and he was a hundred times stronger than the person just now, so he stepped forward tremblingly, and said with a stiff brow: "If you have something to say, please say something." ”

"How can you really say that this is also the capital of a county, why is the population so withered, even the merchant festival shop is extremely difficult to see, is there something happening here recently?"

"Hey, listen to the accent to know that you heroes are not from the township, a few days ago Zi Xianbei crossed the border, deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, the officers and soldiers went north to resist, increased the levy of conscription, and forced the people to strengthen the checkpoint city wall, so the people were particularly withered. In addition, the county seat was soon ransacked by the Montenegrin army, and almost all the last bit of surplus food in the homes of almost all the people was also looted. When the poor had no way out, a few days ago, in Wuji County, the neighbor next door, a rich local family opened a warehouse to help the people, and a large number of people flocked to Wuji County to ask for help. ”

"I see." He Chen came to his senses, this question is really common in Hanwei, but how this Wuji County feels a little familiar, but he can't remember why for a while. After all, this is not his own territory, so he didn't care and asked, "Do you know that there is a hero named Zhao Yun in Zhending County?" ”

"Zhao Yun?"
