After Chengyang County's grievance recital was sent, Liu Cun fell silent, and on the surface, it seemed that he was still the same as before, handling official business in the morning, giving classes to the students of the Martial Arts Academy in the afternoon, and going to the infantry cavalry training base every five to ten days, as if nothing had happened.

Secretly, the entire Langya army has quietly entered a state of readiness, and the Bohai Fleet, which has been escorting caravans for many years, and is specially responsible for the Jizhou and Youzhou routes, has begun to carry out large-scale landing training to transport infantry cavalry troops in remote places on the coast from Qingdao to Chengshanjiao, and 28,000 sets of armor, 9,000 pairs of new-style crossbows, 5,000 new-style cavalry bows, and a large number of horizontal knives and spears in the Zhushan arsenal have been secretly transported to the infantry training base in phases and batches, and the three large transport ships of the Huangdao naval base camp have been constantly traveling between Jeju Island and Huangdao. A shipload of tame horses was brought back for the cavalry.

To Liu Cun's surprise, in May, he still did not wait for any edict from the imperial court, and Huang Wan stayed in Luoyang and did not come back, but the situation in the world became more and more chaotic.

Among them, the 100,000 rebels of Youzhou Zhangju twice defeated the attacks of Wang Fang, the assassin of Jizhou, and Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, and defeated Wang Fang and Gongsun Zhan, and retreated for hundreds of miles, and the battlefield of both sides has moved to the hinterland of Jizhou.

Late at night on the ninth day of the first month of May, Liu Cun suddenly received a secret report from Lu Pei, the commander of the Lingshan battalion, and after reading it, he urgently negotiated with Gongsun Pei, Guan Ning and others overnight, and then sent the heralds of the personal guard battalion to Kaesong, Mengyin, Dong'an, and Dongguan to urgently recall the civil and military chiefs of the four places.

Wang Qi and Yan Shen, who were stationed in the Langya Kingdom, received Liu Cun's urgent order, knowing that the matter was important, and immediately sought the consent of the monarch on the grounds of ordering armor, and both rushed to Dongwu City.

Wang Qi and Yan Shen, who were in the dust, entered the Taishou Mansion Hall, and at a glance saw the familiar Mengyin County Commander Wang Shuzhi and Duwei Zhai Yue, and immediately understood where today's emergency meeting was pointing.

Wang Xuan, who was only 27 years old, was a native of Beihai, Qingzhou, and ended his eight-year study tour in the spring of last year, entered Langya Academy to worship under Zheng Xuanmen, and soon became a personal disciple of Zheng Xuan's great love and high hopes.

After Liu Cun recovered Mengyin, he immediately remembered Wang Xuan, who was born in a poor family and was upright, compared with many famous scholars and heroes in Langya Academy, Liu Cun preferred Wang Xuan's compassion for the people and his deep hatred for the many sins of unscrupulous wealthy nobles, so he sent a long letter to Zheng Xuan and Wang Xuan respectively, bluntly talking about the miserable status quo and important strategic position of the people of Mengyin, and implored Wang Xuan to serve as the county commander of Mengyin.

Zheng Xuan thought about it for ten days, and he couldn't let go of this talented and intelligent beloved disciple, but he felt that the position of Mengyin County Commander given by Liu Cun, who knew people and made good use of his vision, was indeed very suitable for Wang Xuan to display his talents, so Zheng Xuan solemnly asked Wang Xuan's opinion and let him decide his own future.

After reading Liu Cun's letter, he was even more grateful for Liu Cun's honesty and expectations, so he accepted Liu Cun's expedition without hesitation.

Liu Cun's actions were very fast, and after receiving the replies from Zheng Xuan and Wang Xuan, he immediately sent someone to rush to the Qingzhou Assassin Mansion with his own greetings and letters, and jointly recommended Wang Xuan to serve as the commander of Mengyin County. Assassin Shi Huang Wan also admired Zheng Xuan's beloved apprentice Wang Xuan, and happily recommended Wang Xuan to the imperial court with Liu Cun.

In less than two months, the appointment of the imperial court was issued, and Wang Xuan took office.

In the past year, Wang Xuan has done a good job in the position of Mengyin County Commander, got along well with the young county governor Zhai Yue, cooperated tacitly, and soon won the respect and support of the people of Mengyin with his good demeanor of diligence, steadfastness, fairness and majesty, and thus won the praise and acceptance of Liu Cun's think tank.

At this time, when Wang Yu saw Wang Qi and Yan Shen coming, he immediately greeted him with a humble salute, and after talking to each other for less than half a cup of tea, Liu Cun, who had finished judging the military theory test results of the martial arts academy students, hurriedly arrived.

Liu Cunxian apologized to Wang Qi, Wang Xuan and his confidants, and calmly sat down and went straight to the topic: "Ladies and gentlemen, on the ninth day of the fifth month, that is, the day before yesterday, the leaders of the six Yellow Turbans entrenched in the north of Wenyang, Yanzhou (now Feicheng, Daiyue, and Ningyang counties in Shandong), Juping (northeast of Wenyang), Zou County, and Fan County (now Tengzhou, Shandong) gathered in Mount Tai, and were scheduled to hold events at the same time on the sixth day of the sixth month of June. ”

"According to the information obtained, the total strength of these six yellow turbans is as high as 180,000! Ladies and gentlemen, this 180,000 is a real 180,000, and there are no coerced people from all over the world, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the number of young and strong people between the ages of seventeen and forty is at least seventy percent, and what is even more surprising is that two of the yellow scarves are equipped with a craftsman battalion of 5,000 people! ”

Wang Yu was greatly surprised, and the other people also looked solemn, regardless of whether they knew this amazing news before or not, they were a little overwhelmed by the huge number of 180,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army at this moment.

Liu Cun paused for a moment and said his plan bluntly: "After repeated analysis by the Military Department, as well as the confirmation of the intelligence presented by the Lingshan Battalion and the Zhushan Battalion, I have come to a preliminary inference: The main attack direction of the Yellow Turban of the Six Roads is Shouzhang of Dongping Kingdom, Dongyi (now Jinxiang, Shandong) of Shanyang County and Pei County of Xuzhou, and our Qingzhou Jinan State is also under its troops. ”

"Since the strength of our infantry and cavalry armies is only more than 40,000 people, and we still need to garrison the four western counties that are facing the threat of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, we have no ability to advance westward or go north to quell the chaos.

After a slight pause, Liu Cun raised his voice: "I have already submitted this information to the Assassin Mansion, because Lord Assassin Shi is on the way back, I don't know if it has received the attention that the lords of the government deserve, it is estimated that in the next six months, there will be hundreds of thousands or even millions of homeless victims who have been devastated by the war, and they will continue to pour into our Chengyang County and Langya Country in the south. The huge amount of money, rice and grain consumption is secondary, and the most important thing is that the influx of a large number of victims requires a large number of troops to maintain order, otherwise the stable situation that we have worked so hard to build will collapse. ”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh for a while, and they started to discuss this, they thought that they had 50,000 soldiers on land and water was strong enough, but when the crisis came, they suddenly found that 50,000 officers and soldiers were far from enough, but if the army was expanded on a large scale, it would definitely spend huge sums of money to buy armor and weapons, and bear the long-term consumption of food and wages, so that it would inevitably affect the agriculture, industry, and commerce industries that had just entered the rapid development, and if there were another 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of victims, the consequences would be unimaginable!

At this moment, no one doubted that Liu Cun had self-respect for his troops and took advantage of this national disaster to bargain with the imperial court.
