Since the promulgation of the new commercial decree, the number of merchants in Yanzhou has increased day by day, and even merchants from Yingzhou, Pingzhou and other places in the south have rushed here to do business. Similarly, merchants from the northern Tata, Murowe, and other small tribes were involved.

Although the Yanzhou Mansion and the Ya tribes were hostile forces, the merchants still came and went with each other. The northern tribes need the goods of the Central Plains, and the Yan people also need the livestock, furs and some special products of the northern tribes. As a result, Zhao Xun did not completely close the trade channel between the north and the Yan tribes, but the iron and metal objects of the Yan State and the goods related to the war were strictly forbidden to flow out. Once discovered, it will definitely be severely punished.

The business reputation hierarchy system of Yanzhou Mansion has also changed the business of Yanzhou Mansion, and the businessmen who had a bad reputation in the past no longer dare to use fraud and deception methods, without a good reputation rating, sorry, no one will do business with you. With a high credit rating, even if you don't have cash to pay for a while, the other party can let you delay it for a few days. Suddenly, the business atmosphere of Yanzhou Mansion changed greatly, making countless people secretly sigh about the good of the Huolin Army.

Some small bandits in Yanzhou Mansion were also quelled one by one under the severe crackdown of the Huolin Army, and for the Huolin Army, the right should be a training exercise. Predators are not trained, they are killed. Since the negotiation with Li Muzhi, Zhao Xun has also been training soldiers and preparing to attack Yingzhou.

In addition to the standing army in the early 20,000s in Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhao Xun also began to carry out training for young and strong people in various counties.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Yanzhou Mansion is in the north, the weather is very gloomy, and the rich family has already lit a charcoal fire. Since crossing the line with Xu Qinlian, Zhao Lang has changed into a satyr, making Zhao Xun have a kind of "Spring Night is bitter and short, and the king will not be early from now on." "Feelings.

"Li'er, what's going on with Li Xinyan lately? Where did I provoke her, she always didn't look good at me. The noble lady of the big family is difficult to serve! Zhao Xun, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Qin, who was sitting on the side and embroidering in his hands, smiled pitifully: "Did you say something to Xinyan's eldest brother?" Since Brother Xinyan left, Xinyan has been weird and always in a daze. ”

Zhao Xun said disapprerovingly: "Maybe I'm homesick, forget it, don't worry about her." ”

Suddenly, Zhao Xun reached out and hugged Xu Qinlian's soft body, and the magic hand sneaked into her chest from under her clothes, kneading the two balls of elastic bee milk.

Xu Qinlian's face turned red as blood for a moment, and he hurriedly put down the embroidery in his hand, and before he could speak, his body stiffened, and he was softly paralyzed in Zhao Xun's arms. Immediately, his cheeks became redder and redder, but his body became softer and softer. In the face of Zhao Xun's aggression, she did not resist, and half-pushed and half-pushed Zhao Xun to lighten herself, after all, she is now Zhao Xun's woman, and making her man comfortable is her biggest goal.

Xu Qinlian's warm and soft skin is delicate and abnormal, even comparable to a baby's skin, and Zhao Xun bowed down to feel this perfect body. He kissed her snow-white face, her snow-white neck, her snow-white shoulders, he sucked two red and tender little cherries on the snow-white steamed bun mound, and rubbed every inch of the mature girl's body with both hands, the whiteness and softness of this delicate woman's body made his cold and ruthless heart gradually hot, as for Xu Qinpian herself, but she had gradually lost herself, she was the same as the previous times, completely lost herself.

The night was deep, a few small stars were quietly blinking in the sky, the charcoal fire in the house was still burning, and a blushing sound came from the house, and the moon seemed to be embarrassed to hide half of its figure......

The Governor's Mansion, now the base camp of the Huolin Army, is also an office. Originally, the officials of the Governor's Mansion had asked Zhao Xun to entrust Su Yun. Su Yun is now the link and microphone between the Huolin Army and the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion. Although the Duwei Mansion has completely declined, and the Thorn Shi Mansion is powerless to resist the Huolin Army, but if the name is not right, it is not good, and with the two official yamen on the bright side, everything is much smoother. At the same time, Zhao Xun was also worried about causing a backlash from some people, so he deliberately kept the two yamen as shields. Of course, the highest body of the Huolin Army is also the Governor's Mansion, which bears the title of the same name as the Governor's Mansion.

"Adult ......"

Zhao Xun interrupted Zhao Hai's words and said: "When there is no one, don't call me Lord anymore, we are all kowtowing brothers, you still call me eldest brother, I feel comfortable listening to it." ”

Zhao Hai's heart warmed, and then said: "Big brother, the rebel army in the north of Yingzhou and the neighborhood of Yanzhou Mansion has contacted us, but unfortunately, all departments have losses. There were five teams out there, and only three were willing to work with us. These three were originally government troops in the central and northern part of Yingzhou, and after receiving a request for help from Yanzhou Prefecture, they were sent to Yanzhou Mansion by the Governor of Yingzhou Prefecture to support the team. It was only attacked by the Jin Army, and a part of Shun Lì escaped, after being surrounded and intercepted by the Jing Army, there are now only more than 3,500 people left, temporarily stationed in Wohu Mountain, that is, the place where we used to start. ”

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Crouching Tiger Mountain? It seems that there is really fate, how could they know about Crouching Tiger Mountain, although it is not very secret, but it is not something that ordinary people can find, I remember, Uncle Li When they left, they had already covered up the place, so it should not be discovered lightly. ”

Zhao Haidao: "It was Steward Xie from Uncle Li's Mansion who led them there, if it weren't for Steward Xie's assistance, these three branches of the Mansion's army would be ...... Now that the Shadow Guard has set up with them, and some people have been placed in it, as long as it takes some time, we can control them, and at the same time, the new barracks have also sent more than a dozen instructors over. ”

The new barracks in Yanzhou Mansion is a special battalion. All the armies of the Huolin Army cannot be expanded privately, and even if there is a loss, it needs Zhao Xun's warrant before it can be replenished. In addition, all the non-commissioned officers were trained in the recruit battalion and then assigned to the battalions. In all provinces and battalions, except for the lieutenant who is in charge of the army and operations, the clerk is in charge of recording merits, and the lieutenant shall not interfere, and the military judge shall be in charge of military law, and the lieutenant shall not interfere either. Logistics officers are only available in the infantry department, and there will also be a cavalry battalion. Logistics officers, clerks, and military judges are all assigned by the Governor's Office and rotate on a regular basis. In this way, it also prevents the rise of greed for ink and corruption of military discipline in the army. Of course, more importantly, it also takes some people's minds away.

Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "Control? You don't need to, but you have to listen to us. Outside the Yanshan Fort on the south side of Lexian County, the Yan Ya army has stationed 8,000 soldiers to hold on to our army. If we want to enter Yingzhou, we must first deal with these 8,000 indigo troops, however, the outside of Yanshan Fort is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army, and it is really difficult to break through except for a frontal attack. So, we're going to use these 3,000 people to open a passage for us. ”

Zhao Hai said excitedly: "Big brother, are we going to start a counterattack on Yingzhou?" ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "If you don't move, you can't do it, our actions in Yanzhou Mansion have spread, and from Li Muzhi's mouth, I also vaguely know that we seem to have destroyed the good things of some people, and if we don't expand our advantages, when the time comes, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Zhao Xun turned to smile and said: "Since the situation has been broken, let's just do a little more, let those big people who don't put the people and the land in their eyes take a look, and if they want to make a move against me, then they have to bear my preparation to fight back." ”

The cold wind blew up puffs of dust, shrouding the whole land in a gray cloud. The winter of the twenty-first year of Xuanwu is destined to be a dangerous winter, with thick clouds piling up in the sky, and I haven't seen the sun for a long time.

The war that began to ignite in August made the Yingzhou Mansion more deserted, more dilapidated, full of ruins and broken walls, and there always seemed to be fireworks that had not been extinguished, but with the arrival of winter, the Yan army gradually stabilized and stopped burning and looting. However, after a few months, more than 100,000 people still died under the butcher's knife of the Yan army, and many people's food was confiscated by the Yan army, and the people were in danger when winter came.

As a result, countless poor people had to go outside the city to dig weeds to satisfy their hunger. How many girls who were originally round and jade, at this time, also had a dish, and did not hesitate to sell their bodies in order to get a meal. There are also countless people who have endured the pain of selling their sons and daughters in order to support their families. Even Steward Xie's mansion has bought a hundred and ten eleven or twelve-year-old boys and girls, as for these children, they will naturally be handed over to the Shadow Guard and the Blood Shadow Guard, and in a few years, they will be spies or killers. In this regard, Zhao Xun doesn't think there is anything wrong, he embarks on this road of rise, and naturally needs countless heads to set off, giving these people a chance to live, and they should serve their lives.

Crouching Tiger Mountain cottage.

After a month of training, the appearance of the more than 3,500 remnant Yan troops has changed greatly, although it is not as strong as the Huolin army, but it is also a few times better than the original government army, and even Li Gan and a few others are secretly impressed. Of course, at the beginning of the training, there were also many soldiers who could not bear the instructors sent by the Huolin Army, but under the shock of more than a dozen heads, they listened to the training honestly, but after a month, these people also realized that the instructors of the Huolin Army were powerful.

"After a month of training, the momentum of this group of defeated soldiers has changed greatly, you can imagine how powerful the Huolin Army in Yanzhou Mansion is?" Zhang Wei shook his head and sighed.

Xu Qian said with a smile: "If it is not powerful, it will not rely on more than 10,000 people to defeat the 50,000 Yan army for thousands of miles and completely roll out of Yanzhou Mansion." It seems that the hope for the recovery of Yingzhou lies in the Huolin Army. ”

Li Gan and Zhou Wenzhong no longer have the majesty they had a month ago at this moment, and now they already knew that their mere 3,500 people were not as useful as 1,000 Huolin soldiers in the eyes of the Huolin Army. Now they are also honestly cooperating with the people sent by the Fire Lin Army, integrating this army and preparing for the upcoming operation.
