After Chen Lin said this, Yan Pu also hurriedly stood up and bowed to Chen Lin: "Pu, you shouldn't be too stubborn." Jia Xu over there smiled: "Lord, this plant can be my Hanzhong Juncheng." After Jia Xu finished speaking, Chen Lin and Yan Pu both turned their heads, Chen Lin was stunned: "Wenhe, this is ......" This position of county leader has long been in Chen Lin's heart, but it must be Jia Xu, after all, Jia Xu is the most trusted literati in Chen Lin's faction, and now Jia Xu actually took the initiative to say this, how could he not surprise Chen Lin. Jia Xu saw the appearance of the two, and smiled at Chen Lin: "The great talent of the plant, deserves this important responsibility, Xu can barely be a master, it is enough." ”

Jun Cheng is equivalent to the most powerful person in a county except for Taishou, Yan Pu has just arrived, how can he take on this important task, Yan Pu waved his hand again and again and said that it is impossible. After Chen Lin heard Jia Xu say this, he knew that Jia Xu had wronged himself like this in order to keep Yan Pu, and Chen Lin was greatly moved in his heart: "Wenhe, good, good." "This is his loyal servant. So he was not ambiguous, and turned to Yan Pu and said, "Wangzhi will help me and take over the position of the county prince." After saying that, he bowed deeply, Jia Xu saw Chen Lin's appearance, and was very satisfied, this lord really didn't need to say much to understand.

Yan Pu can be regarded as shocked, he thought that Jia Xu was modest and self-assured, but he didn't expect Chen Lin to value himself so much, in order to win himself over, he did not hesitate to give in to the position of the county prince, the good birds chose the trees to perch, and the good ministers chose the lord to serve. Yan Pu's eyes fluttered, and he knelt down heavily: "The lord is above, and he is worshiped by the nursery, and the nursery is willing to break his bones for the lord." Jia Xu laughed: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord and the lord has another great sage to help." Chen Lin was even more excited, he was extremely satisfied with Jia Xu and Yan Pu, and he quickly held up Yan Pu and was overjoyed.

The three of them chatted until noon, until Huang Yan reminded Chen Lin to remember today's events, so he was very happy to hold Jia Xu with his left hand, and Yan Pu with his right hand, and got up together. The three county orders were also there, and Chen Lin sat on a high position and shouted sharply: "Today, this county is going to reorganize the county government and appoint a cadre of the county government here." ”

So the officials of the three counties remained unchanged, and his uncle Lin De was appointed as the lieutenant of Xicheng County, and each of the three counties was limited to 1,000 county soldiers. Yan Pu is the county and leads the government affairs of the whole county, Jia Xu is the main secretary, and Bi Lan is the agricultural official of Hanzhong.

Hanzhong County temporarily set up a captain, Gao Shun.

Chen Ze and Cai Yang are Sima, and Lin An, Chen Dao, Chen Guo, and Wu Ban are the four leading candidates.

There were two special guards in command, Huang Yan and Zhou Cang, who led 500 foot soldiers and 80 horsemen.

There were three armies in Hanzhong, and the commander Gao Shun and the army waited for Chen to and Chen Guo to lead the camp of 2,000; The cavalry was increased to 1,000 cavalry, led by Sima Chen Ze and assisted by Lin An; A new army, 1,000 foot soldiers, led by Sima Caiyang, supplemented by Wu Ban, is now temporarily recruited by the lord Bo Jiaxu, waiting for Cai Yang to arrive.

Other people who came to vote also had official titles one by one, and became the subordinates of various officials in Hanzhong, assisting various ministries in handling affairs, and a few local scholars were able to serve as officials, and they were all happy for a while. Chen Lin ordered the whole county not to collect taxes this year, because there are too many outsiders in the three counties, and they have just settled in Hanzhong, where will they get the money and grain to pay taxes. A few days ago, the money and grain donated by the local scholars were supported for less than two months, and in the remaining half of the year, I am afraid that Chen Lin is spending private money to build the three counties, but fortunately, the Chen family has sufficient food hoarding, otherwise it is in vain even if they have money, and now they can't buy food at all.

With the assistance of Bi Lan, he began to build villages one after another on the edge of the Han River, and a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed, and the county government also promised to subsidize the people to grow grain and cultivate cattle, and pay for the harvest in the coming year. For a while, not only the relocated people in Anyang and the previous displaced people were grateful to Chen Lin, but even the displaced people from the neighboring counties also poured into the three counties, hoping to get a place to live.

It's March again, and there is still a batch in Anyang that has not yet arrived, and Gaoshun Linde has already begun to transfer grain. On this day, Chen Lin, Yan Pu, and Jia Xu were deliberating in the county government. Yan Pu can be described as a spring breeze these days, he has been trusted by Chen Lin, he has used what he has learned all his life, and he seems to be very happy, and he is saying loudly at this time: "Lord, now there are more than 100,000 people in the three counties, and there are still displaced people from Nanyang and other places from time to time, thanks to the lord's love for the people." ”

Chen Lin was also very satisfied with what Yan Pu had done during this time, so he said: "This is all done by the plant, how can the people not be grateful and planted, these people can survive, and they rely on the plant." Over there, Jia Xu tilted his head and looked at the two monarchs and ministers, very funny, seeing that the two of them were endless, he interrupted and said: "Lord, now that the three counties are in order, the armaments are neat, the lord must know that there are more than these three counties in Hanzhong." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he knew that it was time to think about Nanzheng, since he came to Hanzhong, Chen Lin had never stopped paying attention to the rice thief. Chen Lin settled the displaced people in the three counties and overhauled government affairs, while Zhang Xiu was also busy in Nanzheng to win over all parties and consolidate the six counties. It's just that more than 200,000 people in the six counties of Nanzheng were forced to support Zhang Xiu's tens of thousands of followers, and there were quite complaints. Xixian, which is closest to Shangyong, defends the Meridian Valley, and Shangyong also has hundreds of miles away, Chen Lin and Zhang Xiu have only one move and one army, and the other side must be able to know it at the first time and do a good job of defense.

Chen Lin said: "Yes, it's time to exterminate the rice thieves, but now our army is only capable of fighting 3,000 people, how to act, the rice thieves have tens of thousands of troops?" Jia Xu smiled: "Hehe, the lord was afraid of the yellow turban thieves back then, and the yellow turban thieves were all over the world." Chen Lin also laughed after hearing this. Jia Xu also said: "The rabble of thieves is one of them; Second, there are no outstanding generals and strategists among the rice thieves, and sooner or later they will be defeated by the lord; Third, there are still local scholars like Wu Yang in Hanzhong County who do not cooperate with the rice thieves, and even secretly confront them, isn't the lord also actively contacting Wu Yang; Fourth, the lord serves the righteousness of the court and exterminates the injustice of the anti-thieves, which is bound to be dangerous; Fifth, the lord overhauled civil affairs in the three counties, and the lord's reputation for loving the people and being close to the people is bound to win the support of the people in the six counties. With these five points, why should the lord worry that the rice thief will not be destroyed. ”

Yan Pu clapped his hands and applauded: "Wen He is really strategic, and everything he says is true, this is the luck of the lord." Chen Lin was even more confident, so he ordered: "Order Gao Shun to lead the trapped camp to stand by, and so is the cavalry under Zhong Zhi, and the matter of transporting grain back to Anyang will be handed over to Zilan to lead a thousand new troops, and Gao Shun will pay close attention to the movements of the Nanzheng rice thieves." ”

Jia Xu said again: "My lord, if you want to attack the rice thief, it is the best policy to enter the six counties of Nanzheng without knowing it, if Zhang Xiu deploys heavy troops to defend on the front line of Xicheng, it will definitely be troublesome." The lord has a strategy to capture Xixian when Zhang Xiu does not realize our army, so that Xicheng can be the front, and the other five counties can be attacked, and the rice thieves will be quelled just around the corner. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "What plan can Wen He have to hide from Zhang Xiu and make our army run hundreds of miles until Xicheng?" ”

Jia Xu: "There are two places in this plan, one is to disperse the army, disguise themselves as merchants or homeless people, go to Xicheng in batches, hide in the Meridian Valley, and gather into an army; There is also the need to get the support of the Wuyang family, the army is scattered and advanced, and there must not be much food with it, and it must be supported by local grain and grass. ”

Chen Lin: "This plan can be called a 'whole into zero' plan, a clever plan. ”

After some agreement, Chen Lin acted according to the plan and ordered the trapped camp and the cavalry to train with peace of mind and prepare for battle. In order not to let Zhang Xiu's spies know that Chen Lin was preparing for war, Chen Lin specially placed the trapped camp in Fangling, and the cavalry in Xicheng. Even these, the military camp is important, and it is not something that ordinary people can explore, but they hear shouts and fighting inside every day.

Slowly, Chen Lin gathered some young men from Anyang from time to time, and disappeared the next day, but it was Chen Lin who made a trick to hide from the sky and the sea, and secretly put ordinary young men and women into the barracks at night, and the same sergeants came out of the barracks. In this way, the colonel led them in batches, agreeing where and when to meet, and the barracks still shouted every day, and how did the people outside know that the barracks had already changed a group of people, and only the few guards in the barracks did not change. This kind of thing only happened in the trapped camp, but the cavalry battalion did not eliminate this, and when the cavalry made an appointment with the time, they could march on fast horses in the open, but at that time they were only afraid that the trapped camp had already captured Xicheng.

Everything is done according to the plan, Chen Lin said to Jia Xu on this day: "Wenhe, the trapped camp has been on the road, if you want to go in person, if you don't see the situation in Nanzheng in person, you are always unsteady in your heart." ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he didn't speak, but Yan Pu hurriedly said: "The lord can't be, it's so dangerous, the lord can't be so dangerous, just go with the cavalry of the second general in the future." Chen Lin didn't listen to Yan Pu's words for the first time, and insisted on going to see what was going on first. So Huang Yan Zhoucang led a dozen people to escort Chen Lin to Xicheng, and when he didn't want to go out of the city, he saw Jia Xu also following behind. Chen Lin was shocked: "Wenhe, why is this?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Lord, how can this battle be missing, the three counties have Zhizhi in the town, it is enough, Xu is left and right with the lord, and there is no one who has an idea." Chen Lin still wanted to speak, Jia Xu: "Lord, just a rice thief, what can I do, the lord is still exploring with his own body, and he is a courtier, how can he fall behind, don't persuade the lord anymore." ”

Chen Lin was helpless, so Chen Lin and Jia Xu and others turned into businessmen and slowly went to the six counties of Zhengliu in the south. After Chen Lin arrived in the three counties, he did not cut off the exchanges with the six counties, so it is not surprising that there are still traders and people walking between the six counties of Nanzheng and the three counties. Along the way, Chen Lin observed the terrain and saw that the hundreds of miles of gorge between Shangyong and Xicheng faced mountains and water, and the soil quality was not as good as other places, Chen Lin couldn't help sighing: "No wonder there are few people here, it is so bad." Jia Xu also said: "Yes, this place is not as dangerous as the plank road in Shuzhong, and it is not as fertile as Nanzheng or the three counties. Chen Lin laughed after hearing this.

Hundreds of miles away, Chen Lin and the others walked again, and it took more than half a month for Chen Lin to meet Gao Shun at the agreed place. A group of people hid at the foot of Qinling Mountain, only thirty miles away from Xicheng. Chen Lin saw that there were about 1,000 people gathered in the camp and there was not much food, so he suddenly decided: "I will go to see Wu Yang in person." ”
