"You...... You ......" Luo Qian pointed at Wang Hao, trembling with anger, he didn't understand there, this Wang Hao was deliberately angry with him.

Without waiting for Luo Ganduo to say, Wang Hao smiled and said loudly: "You can't go back if you want to, it's a bit impractical to return to Liaodong and give away thousands of horses." So we took it ourselves. ”

"Tsk...... There are 28,000 troops, and there are no less than 20,000 war horses, no matter how bad the war is, there are still 10,000 horses. Besides, we're a surprise attack, and the horses won't lose too much. ”

Luo Qian was shocked when he heard this: "The other three cities ......"

"The other three cities are even easier than this, and they can be captured easily and effortlessly." Wang Hao said with a smile. Although I didn't receive good news from the other three cities, I wanted to come to eight or nine without leaving ten.

Luo Gan's face suddenly turned to ashes, it turned out that he had been eating in the mouth of the Xiaoguo Army early in the morning, and he was completely played with by the other party in applause without knowing it.

"By the way, thank you, except for the war horses, not to mention the food, it is all the people's things. In addition, they gave us so many good things, all of which are treasures. I think my general will be very satisfied. Of course, I also appreciate your generosity......"

"Poof......" Luo Gan was furious, a mouthful of blood spurted out, trembling fingers, pointing at Wang Hao, without saying anything, he rolled off the horse.

"All handsome!"

Not to mention the nervousness of the Yan Army, Zuo Long Xiangwei was very impressed, and he vomited blood just with his mouth, what a talent.

"Kill it! Not a single one to stay! Wang Hao said coldly.

Qin Daolin on the side took a breath and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Qin Daolin gave an order, and thousands of archers who had been prepared for a long time released their right hands at the same time, and where the bowstring sounded, a piercing roar pierced the sky. A thousand feathered arrows had already carried a cold killing machine, and in an instant, they were above the heads of the Evil Army, and then fell viciously like raindrops, and the sky, which was originally illuminated by torches, was once again covered by black clouds......

Behind him, the cavalry of the left dragon guard followed......

…………

Li Huaiyuan occupied the land of the six prefectures, and the county officials resigned one after another, especially some officials, and most of them ran cleanly.

The Great Yan State followed the imperial examination system of the Chu State, and set a triennial examination system, through the county examination, the government examination, the state examination and the Ministry of Rites examination, the selection of outstanding talents, and the study of excellence.

The Ministry of Rites will select the best for Jinshi, take 100 people, and divide them into three classes. After Chang Ke ascended to the first place, he still had to go through the examination of the Ministry of Officials, which was called the selection test. According to the results, they are assigned to the counties and are the local officials.

Every three years, 100 people are just a drop in the bucket compared to the country's scholars. Therefore, the imperial court stipulated that those who passed the state test could be local county officials. In other words, these talents from a state can be recruited by local magistrates as officials. Officials and officials are composed of officials and officials, and within a county, the chief officials are naturally county commanders, county lieutenants, and county officials, but these three people obviously cannot maintain the operation of a county, and there are dozens of subordinates.

Therefore, the magistrates have two sets of teams, one is appointed by the court officials, mainly the chief officials, such as the state officials, that is, the assassin history, Sima, Changshi, and the record of the military, etc., and the county is the county order, the county Cheng and the county lieutenant, these main officials are appointed by the court officials, and many subordinate county officials are set up by the county order. This self-established person needs to pass the guò state test. Of course, these directories are naturally reported to the higher units, the county is reported to the government, and the state is reported to the state. Log in and make a book, and then officially become a local adjutant.

In this way, the people who passed the guò state test also entered the government's reserve army, and could become the prefecture and county staff and adjutant at any time, which was also another way out for the scholars who had no hope of entering the army.

However, in general, in the counties, there are large families and local officials, so naturally the sons of these families are the first choice for the county order to encircle the local noble families.

Now what Li Huaiyuan has done is equivalent to rebellion, and coupled with the decree of the imperial court, these people have avoided it. Seeing this, Li Huaiyuan did not make trouble, and then recruited a group of young scholars from nowhere, and from the bottom to the top, the list of people who resigned was eliminated, and the talents recruited for themselves were replaced. The state, government, and county are all under Li Huaiyuan's control, and these things are naturally easy to hold. As for the governor of the state capital and county, he was appointed by the imperial court, and if he wanted to run, Li Huaiyuan would not let him run away.

After changing a group of officials, these chief officials soon found that they had been set aside, and nothing went through their hands, but their official seals and lists were left on these notices. After a short period of chaos, more than 50 counties in the six prefectures of Youzhou quickly stabilized, followed by a series of measures to reassure the people and reduce taxes, so that the people of Zhufu County also began to take over Li Huaiyuan.

Li Muzhi took the private army of the Li family and the army of Youzhou Mansion to fight with the right dragon Xiangwei in the land of Yunzhou and Hengzhou. The government army was naturally defeated by the right dragon Xiangwei, Li Muzhi fought and retreated, Hengzhou Mansion fell, and the two sides fought between Youzhou Mansion and Hengzhou Mansion. For a while, the world thought that Li Huaiyuan would be defeated in this battle, and Cao Gang would sweep the six mansions of Youzhou.

In the land of the six prefectures of Youzhou, many large families frequently contacted the rebellious general Cao Gang, and were willing to respond to it.

Zhuozhou Mansion, Lu's.

The Lu clan is the real clan of Zhuozhou Mansion, no, it should be said that it is the Shi clan, although after hundreds of years of suppression by the Chu State and the Yan State, the Shi clan is no longer as big as the two Han Dynasty, but it should not be underestimated.

The scholar clan is different from the big family, the lifeblood of the big family is the land, and the pursuit lies in money and land. And the lifeblood of the gentry clan lies in power, and the pursuit also lies in power. The wang clan annexed the land and privately hid the peasant households, which was actually the landlord. However, because of his influence, the soldiers controlled the local officials, especially the officials, and the officials of the counties of a prefecture were all the children of the scholars. Fortunately, these soldiers do have some talents. But in their hearts, they are loyal to their families first, and then to their country.

In the thirteen counties of Zhuozhou Prefecture, hundreds of officials are all from the Lu family. Of course, the birth of the Lu family here does not refer to the surname Lu, but to the children of the Lu family, who are supported by the Lu family and who are educated in the exams.

The Lu family has four rooms, and they do not live together, but live separately. Of course, the four families are in the same spirit, and many places are actually one. Lu Xianjing, who is in the fourth room, is actually the head of the four families at this time, and is over sixty years old. The current head of the family, regulates the interests and contradictions of the family, and deals with family affairs.

"Liangfang, are you sure that the roster of all the adjutants in the counties of Zhuozhou Prefecture has been cleared and sorted out of the list of adjutants?"

"Yes, Father! Now the thirteen counties of Zhuozhou Prefecture are all controlled by the newly appointed officials, and even the county orders and assassin histories have been set aside, and our privileges here are gone. Three days ago, all eight of our stores were inspected and we were ordered to make up the taxes we had concealed. ”

"Make it up!" Sitting on the chair, Lu Xianjing, who closed his eyes and recuperated, said softly.

"Father...... These officials dare to attack our shop, even if they don't dare to do so, so why be polite to them. Li Huaiyuan's defeat is imminent, and they will look good when the time comes. Father, don't pay attention to it, I want to see, in Zhuozhou Mansion, who dares to touch our Lu family? A middle-aged man said with a disgruntled face. Most of these eight shops are his.

"Liangyuan, our Lu family's enemy can beat the tens of thousands of troops under Li Huaiyuan's command? Do you think it's still the time when Zhuozhou Mansion is a guest of Lu's seat? Eight stores, how much profit per year, how? Can't afford to pay even a little tax? Do you want someone else to take over? Lu Xian said in a deep voice.

"Father! I ......" Lu Liangyuan was extremely angry, but he couldn't refute it.

Lu Xianjing squinted his eyes and said slowly: "This Li Huaiyuan has transferred the army of the county government, half of them participated in the battle with Cao Gang, and half of the counties rotated with each other. The government army of the counties of Zhuozhou Prefecture did not recognize who our Lu clan was, and the counties were also controlled by Li Huaiyuan. In any case, we can't go against the government now. What is Li Huaiyuan doing? So confident that you can defend the six mansions of Youzhou and defeat Cao Gang? ”

Lu Liangzhang couldn't help but say: "Father, my Lu clan has nearly 10,000 soldiers, why don't you raise things and echo the rebellious general?" As long as Li Huaiyuan is defeated, won't my Lu clan go to the next level? ”

Lu Xianjing glanced at Lu Liangzhang and said coldly: "Do you think Li Huaiyuan doesn't know that we have nearly 10,000 private troops?" Will he be defenseless? Don't do anything, just wait and see what happens. By the way, Liangfang, you said that all the officers we planted in the government army were kicked out? Is there such a thing? Speaking of this, Lu Xianjing's eyes flashed.

Lu Liangfang nodded and said: "Not only that, after Li Huaiyuan took the lieutenant and soldier envoy of Zhufu County, he took over the Zhufu army, reintegrated, and kicked out all the unqualified people and some people installed by the big families of various wang clans. Subsequently, the salaries of the government were raised, the able-bodied men were recruited, the number was replenished, and training was imposed. Now we don't know much about these government troops. ”

Li Huaiyuan ...... Li Huaiyuan...... What exactly do you rely on? ”

"Father, there are people in all prefectures and counties who secretly echo the rebel general, how do we deal with it? Yesterday, the Zhang family of Changping County came to the mansion and invited us to be the head of the Zhuozhou Mansion to welcome the rebellious general. Lu Liangqing, the third child, said.

"Oh? You agreed? ”

"No, this matter is very important, the son does not dare to make the decision, please ask the father to decide." Lu Liangqing said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the four of you are the most careful in Liangfang, and the most stable in Liangqing. My Lu family is not involved in this matter. I haven't seen through Li Huaiyuan yet. Liangqing, sue the three of them for me, and our Lu family is not involved in this matter. ”

Seeing that the four sons were a little puzzled, he said, "Are you thinking, why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity to grow?" ”

"Father, please?" Lu Liangfang said.

"The Lu family is not involved, and in the future, my Lu family will still be the Lu family, and no one will act rashly. However, if we are involved in this matter and Cao Gang wins, then we will naturally grow, but what about Cao Gang's defeat? Or Li Huaiyuan, annoyed, was ruthless to these thieves who hooked up with Cao Gang? Even if we have nearly 10,000 private troops, we can't match the Li family's iron cavalry. When the time comes, the Lu family will lose ......"

"However, even if Li Huaiyuan wants to attack us, we can contact these people and resist together, as long as we hold out until Cao Gang arrives, why are we afraid?" Lu Liangzhang couldn't help but say.

"As soon as the army arrives, everything will be destroyed, and my Lu family's grange, shop, and property in the name of the Lu family will be destroyed to some extent. We can be safe, but can we also have those possessions? As soon as Cao Gang arrived, we couldn't be the master of these things, and he Cao Gang was not a good lord. ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... Don't talk about this, don't get involved. Liangfang, has there been any movement in the Xiaoguo Army recently? Lu Xianjing asked with squinted eyes.

Lu Liangfang shook his head and said, "The Xiaoguo Army is still a place where large armies gather on the border, but it can't go south. ”

"Without the edict, he naturally won't go south, besides, where Haizhou Mansion intersects with Pingzhou Mansion and Weizhou Mansion, there are still 50,000 Zuolong Xiangwei, and the Xiaoguo Army can't ignore it." Lu Liangyuan said with a smile.

Lu Liangfang said suspiciously: "On the contrary, the Xiaoguo Army did not arrange an interception army outside the Zuo Long Xiang Guard at all, and the Zuo Long Xiang Wei only surrounded the city occupied by the Yan Yan Army. Both sides seem indifferent and do not know what is being done. ”

Lu Xianjing frowned: "The Xiaoguo Army is waiting for the righteous name, a righteous name that has entered the six prefectures in the south of Youzhou." ”

"Father is saying that he is waiting for the edict of the imperial court? However, the imperial court has now begun to restrict him, so it allowed Cao Gangren to rebel against the general, instead of letting the more powerful Xiaoguo army dispatch. In addition, now that Li Huaiyuan is in a weak position, and Cao Gang has won consecutive battles, how could the imperial court let the Xiaoguo army dispatch? Is this impossible? ”

Lu Xianjing said slowly: "That is, the Xiaoguo Army knows that Li Huaiyuan will win and Cao Gang will be defeated. The matter of Youzhou, except for his Xiaoguo army, no one can solve it quickly. ”

"Father, apart from the 50,000 Zuo Long Xiangwei, I really can't think of any place where Li Huaiyuan can regain his disadvantage. But Zuo Long Xiangwei and Li Huaiyuan are separated by the Xiaoguo Army, which is ...... Lu Liangqing is also puzzled.

"This Zhao Xun, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, is definitely not a simple figure, he has risen here in just two years, making the world look sideways and famous, so that the imperial court can't do it at will. He must know something, and Li Huaiyuan must have the means to fight back. "Lu Liangfang manages the intelligence work of the Lu family, so he naturally knows Zhao Xun, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army, who dominates the five prefectures of Youzhou.

"Okay, it seems that things are going to change in a new way, our Lu family will not move, sit and watch the changes. Liangfang, strengthen the attention of Li Huaiyuan of the Xiaoguo Army. Lu Xian said quietly.
