Wuguan returned to Xicheng for hundreds of miles, Chen Lin's 4,000 army returned in a mighty way, whether it was Liu Bei or Dong Zhuo, absolutely no one could have imagined that when Liu Bei left, the 14,000 people of the Lu family, regardless of wealth or poverty, would be forcibly relocated. Before Chen Lin left Wuguan, he urgently ordered the three counties of Shangyong to send troops to transport grain to meet the people, and it took a month to return to Xicheng, and ordered Xicheng County to settle more than 10,000 people. Chen Lin watched the people coming and going in Xicheng, and couldn't help but burst into tears, it has been a year, and he has finally come back, and the old department of the Three Thousand Hanzhong is also full of emotion. Only Gao Shun, Chen Zhi and Cai Yang were responsible for greeting Chen Lin in Shangyong, and they could not leave Nanzheng without permission, especially the current situation in Yizhou.

Gao Shun arrived a few months ago, but Chen Lin ordered Gao Shun to be on standby and practice, which would Gao Shun tell Chen Lin about the general situation in Hanzhong: "The lord, the lord of the county has not failed the lord during this time, the county is thriving, the people are hungry and cold, and now the people of Hanzhong have nearly 500,000 people." "Five hundred thousand? Chen Lin was also taken aback, remembering that when he first came to Hanzhong, Hanzhong County was only 200,000 people, in just a few years, it did not decrease but increased, which has a lot to do with the Central Plains melee, it is said that now Nanyang's Yuan Shu does not practice government affairs, making Nanyang a miasma, many people in Nanyang have stolen the three counties of Shangyong to make a living, plus the people in Chang'an Xiliang and other places have come over the Qinling Mountains from time to time, Yan Pu has accepted them one by one, so that there are as many as 500,000 people in Hanzhong now.

Gao Shun continued: "Shun has not returned to Nanzheng, and the specific matters can only be known when the lord returns to Nanzheng. Chen Lin smiled, in fact, when he decided to return to Hanzhong, through Wuying, Chen Lin had a general understanding of the current situation in Hanzhong. Yizhou Mu Liu Yan not only did not send troops when he was in the world to fight against Dong, but also wantonly eradicated dissidents in the name of state affairs, and the previous month he killed Chen Lin's old acquaintance Li Quan and dozens of Shu Zhongqiang, so as to achieve Liu Yan's goal of monopolizing Shuzhong. Liu Yan's arrogance aroused the extreme dissatisfaction of the Shu sergeant clan, and now Qianwei Taishou Ren Qizheng and his engagement Chen Chao raised troops against Liu Yan, and fought happily in Shu. Chen Zhi and Cai Yang are actively preparing for war, for fear that the rebellion in Shuzhong will spread to Hanzhong, but fortunately, now Hanzhong is under the governance of Chen Lin, which is both rigid and soft, and can be called the most solid pastoral land in the Han Dynasty.

The reason why Yan Pu couldn't come to Shangyong to greet Chen Lin was because now there were several talented people from Nanzheng, at least that's what Yan Pu said, Yan Pu was busy receiving these talented people who were interested in taking refuge in Chen Lin. After Chen Lin learned that someone was coming to vote, he also ordered Yan Pu to stay well, so as not to lose his manners.

After Chen Lin simply handed over the relocated people to the county order, he plotted with Jia Xu and others, Jia Xu said: "Lord, I think that now the Central Plains has become a prince and a rising trend, my three counties are far away from Nanzheng, bordering Jingzhou, Nanyang Yuan Highway and the lord have many discords, the lord should be cautious to defend the three counties, so as not to be taken advantage of." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he snorted: "What Wen He said is reasonable, I want to keep Sir Xi here to preside over the military of the three counties, I don't know what Wen He thinks?" Chen Lin considered that Wu Kuang's son Wu Ban would always follow him, and let Wu Kuang guard the three counties of Shangyong, Wu Kuang would definitely not betray him. Jia Xu understood Chen Lin's intentions as soon as he thought about it, and thought that now Chen Lin is becoming more and more proficient in the way of controlling people, and he has learned to master hostages. I remembered that although Wu Kuang was not the most outstanding general in Hanzhong, Wu Kuang had been in the army for many years, but he was the most authentic soldier and the most old-fashioned. Therefore, Jia Xu also said: "General Wu is stable and old, but he can take on this important task." ”

Chen Lin immediately appointed Wu Kuang as a lieutenant, and now Chen Lin is a lieutenant general, and he will be a lieutenant below, so Chen Lin plans to promote all the generals in the army to the position of captain, and it is also convenient to lead the troops, Wu Kuang has become the second real Hanzhong general after Gao Shun. Chen Lin gave this order, Huang Zhong and the others were overjoyed, and they all knew that even Wu Kuang, a backward general, had been made a general, and he would definitely not be left behind.

The county soldiers in each of the three counties of Shangyong have been increased to 1,500, and Wu Kuang's regular army has also been capped to 2,000, which is the most special one, of course, the trapped camp is not counted. In this way, the attacking strength of the three counties of Shangyong may be insufficient, but if the city is defended, it will be six or seven thousand.

The books that Gao Shun luckily brought back were all sent to Nanzheng and handled by Yan Pu, and I believe that a scholar like Yan Pu will arrange this treasure properly. After arranging the affairs of the three counties of Shangyong, Chen Lin led the army to continue to return to Nanzheng, and entrusted Wu Kuang to strictly guard against Nanyang, with Xicheng as the most.

Three hundred miles back to Nanzheng, Yan Pu out of the city ten miles to greet each other, Chen Lin in the Dong Zhong is known to the world, won the praise of many talents, Yan Pu is no exception, I feel that this lord is fortunate to be three lives. As soon as Chen Lin saw Yan Pu going out of the city to greet him, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and rushed over, shouting, "Zhizhi." "Yan Pu deserves Chen Lin like this, almost all the big and small things up and down in Hanzhong have been decided by Yan Pu alone, and the affairs of the eleven counties in Hanzhong have been handled properly, and it is said that together with Chen Zhi, the seven families in Hanzhong who want to take the opportunity to rebel have been cut down, otherwise Hanzhong will not be so peaceful in the time that Chen Lin has left for so long.

Yan Pu saw that Chen Lin was so polite to himself, and he actually got off the horse to see him, and he couldn't help but look at him. Several people next to Chen Lin who didn't know each other glanced at each other and couldn't help nodding. When Chen Lin was about to talk to Yan Pu, he saw Yan Pu grab Chen Lin: "Lord, come, come, Nurse introduces a few great sages to the lord." "Pull Chen Lin in front of those people that Chen Lin didn't know. Chen Lin saw that these people were all tall, extraordinary, and high-spirited, and Chen Lin saw that they were the great sages that Yan Pu said.

Those people didn't wait for Yan Pu to speak, and took the lead to greet him: "Meet Lord Taishou." Chen Lin responded with courtesy: "Mr. Zhong has come thousands of miles to my Hanzhong, and it is really rude that he can't entertain him in person, so don't blame Mr. Zhong." Those people said: "Lord Taishou is righteous and begging for thieves, I admire it, how can I apologize." ”

After touting each other, everyone hurriedly turned their horses back to the city, at this time, the whole Chen Mansion was also going to greet Chen Lin, especially Chen Lin's mother, but was reprimanded by Chen Li, saying that Chen Lin is now what kind of identity, how can he take care of his family selfishly, of course, he must focus on county affairs, so Chen Mansion did not dare to go out of the city, but secretly sent people to pay attention to see when Chen Lin returned home.

Chen Lin returned, this time it was lively, almost most of the important people in Hanzhong County had arrived, the agricultural official Bi Lan's apprentice, the mutual market official Liu Hua, Liu Hua Since the tragedy of Liufu, Liu Hua has taken a concubine again, and gave birth to a son a year ago, which can be regarded as making up for it. In short, the civil and military gathered together, and the new guests, who formed their own group, also sat in the hall. Yan Pu introduced one by one, these people are the father and son of the Fufeng people, the Fa family is the whole family moved, away from Dong Zhuo's place, and came to Hanzhong with great difficulty, I wanted to go to Liu Yan in Shuzhong, but was discovered by Yan Pu and invited to stay, Fa father and son saw that Yan Pu was sincere, so they stayed to take a look, Chen Lin He is also a person. Then I heard about Chen Lin's deeds in Luoyang, and I couldn't help but admire Chen Lin, and saw that the people of Hanzhong were all leisurely and complacent, and their lives were peaceful, so I couldn't help but recognize Chen Lin even more.

These two are Fazhen Fa Yan's father and son. His father, Gao Qing, is around 50 years old, wise and erudite. Fa Yan's son, Fa Yan, is a few years older than Chen Lin, and Fa Yan is witty and scheming. In addition, there is another person, surnamed Meng Mingguang, the word Xiaoyu, Nanyang people, this is a small official of the imperial court, not reused, Dong Zhuo escaped from Chang'an after moving the capital, passing through Hanzhong, Yan Pu treated each other with courtesy, Meng Guang felt Yan Pu's kindness, and was willing to stay in Hanzhong. There is another person, it is Gao Jing, who is a person who stays in Chen, who is proficient in the law of the Han Dynasty, Gao Jing saw that the world is full of etiquette and happiness, and the law does not exist, and when he was heartbroken, he heard that the people of Hanzhong have a surplus of officials and people who are compatible, so Gao Jing came here to observe, but the scene in Hanzhong is more than the rumors, and he is very happy.

At this time, after Yan Pu finished introducing them one by one, Chen Lin stood up and bowed to Fazhen and the others: "If you gentlemen do not give up, Lin Te pleaded with Mr. for the help of 500,000 people in Hanzhong to ensure the safety and well-being of the people." After speaking, he bowed again, and the other Hanzhong officials hurriedly got up. Meng Guang and the others couldn't imagine that Chen Lin could be so disregarding his identity and respecting himself in front of so many people, Meng Guang took the lead in kneeling: "My lord, don't do it, etiquette can't be abolished, I can see my lord, if I meet Mingjun, I hope that my lord will not give up, and I will worship the light." "Meng Guang, an unwilling little official, is now getting such a courtesy from Chen Lin, how can he not be moved.

Fa Zhen's father and son were shocked, and they didn't expect Chen Lin to be so respectful, they glanced at each other, and both knelt down, and Gao Jing on the other side was already in tears.

Jia Xu lowered his head and smiled, and there were four more virtuous people in Hanzhong. In this way, the four people who were intercepted by Yan Pu were all under the command of Chen Lin, Chen Lin was appointed and dismissed one by one, and Gao Jing was more directly in charge of Hanzhong Fadu, becoming a high-ranking official in Hanzhong in one fell swoop. Fa Zhen became Yan Pu's deputy, Fa Yan stayed by Chen Lin's side, and Meng Guang was also entrusted with important tasks. In addition, Chen Lin took the opportunity to reward everyone one by one in the battle against Dong, and they were all very happy, and even Cai Yang and Chen in the town guarding Han were both meritorious in guarding the county. Now that all the military positions in Hanzhong have been promoted, Chen Lin strictly ordered all departments to immediately recruit strong soldiers and enrich the 1,500 soldiers and horses in their headquarters. The happiest person is Chen Ze, Jia Xu actually cheated Zhang Ji with a thousand war horses, and was so angry that Zhang Ji almost wanted to go to war with Chen Lin after learning that Dong Zhuo had negotiated with Chen Lin. In addition to the war horses that Chen Lin rewarded the generals, now the wolf cavalry is actively training 2,000 cavalry, and Chen Zelin and An laugh every day.

Just when everyone in Hanzhong was laughing, there was no shadow in Shuzhong, so Chen Lin had to start to liven up, and the captain Jia Long also rebelled against Liu Yan. Jia Long was originally engaged in Yizhou, because he had meritorious service in welcoming Liu Yan into Shu, and was ordered by Liu Yan to be a captain, but Liu Yan's actions in Shu greatly touched these Shu sergeants, and Jia Long was the same, at this time, Dong Zhuo actually took the opportunity to send Situ Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan, secretly entered Shu and said that Jia Long was moved, and raised troops against Liu Yan. Jia Long attacked Liu Yan in Fucheng with Qianwei's Ren Qi in the north and south, and Liu Yan, who was originally close to Qianwei, was suddenly attacked on both sides, and the situation in Shuzhong was confusing.

Chen Lin looked at it and shouted: "Enter Shu." ”
