Chen Lin Hanzhong County to contact the Central Plains, must pass through Nanyang, this is why Chen Lin personally came to Nanyang, if the relationship with Nanyang Taishou is not handled well, Nanyang Taishou all cut off the connection between Hanzhong and the Central Plains, then Hanzhong business contacts will be less than the majority, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of Hanzhong County. Chen Lin silently followed Qin Jie to his house, the two sat down, Qin Jie toasted Chen Lin, Chen Lin had to return the salute, but did not speak. Qin Jie suddenly sighed and said: "Chen Taishou doesn't know, a few days ago he intercepted these two hundred horses is also a last resort, Chen Taishou doesn't know, half a month ago, Jiangxia soldiers rebelled, swept tens of thousands of people, Assassin Shi ordered the official to participate in the conquest, it happened that Chen Taishou two hundred good horses crossed the border, and the official wanted to stay to kill the thieves, not because the official was greedy." ”

Chen Lin was taken aback, and Jiang Xia rebelled, which Chen Lin did not expect. It turned out that there was a county lieutenant Zhao Ci in Jiangxia County, who was strong, but greedy, and had many disagreements with the county order, but Zhao Ci himself was extremely brave and won the support of the county soldiers. A month ago, the county decree wanted to rectify Zhao Ci on the grounds that Zhao Ci was greedy and lawless, but Zhao Ci heard the rumors. Zhao Ci saw that there was no way out, so he was ruthless and instigated the county soldiers to kill the county commander and many county officials with him, Zhao Ci wanted to kill the county commander and rolled up his savings for many years and fled, but a group of county soldiers knew that the matter was big, so they had to leave Zhao Ci down to lead everyone. In this way, Zhao Ci became bigger and bigger, and in half a month, he developed an army of 20,000 people, and also broke through several county seats, and he did not defend the city, but just wandered around. The surrounding counties were panicked, and Jingzhou Assassin Shi urgently ordered all counties to attack together to encircle and suppress Zhao Ci. This Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie is preparing military horses, get 5,000 foot soldiers, but there is no cavalry, that day someone came to report that Nanyang has passed a batch of good horses, there are 200 horses, Qin Jie thought about it, he was confused and intercepted Xu San, which provoked Chen Lin's Xingshi to ask for guilt.

After Chen Lin listened, his heart relaxed slightly, his anger decreased slightly, and he was no longer so cold to Qin Jie, and said: "Qin Taishou, although there is a reason for the matter, but the two hundred good horses were bought in Youzhou and Erzhou after more than a year of preparation in Hanzhong County, Qin Taishou is like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." "Chen Lin plans to return the horses, so he won't pursue it. When Qin Jie heard this, why did Chen Lin still want to go back, Qin Jie was a little unhappy: "Southern Shaoma, I heard that Chen Taishou already has a few hundred cavalry troops in the county, why don't you give these two hundred horses to Nanyang, how about it, the official is not in vain, how much did Chen Taishou buy it, and the official will pay for it?" "Nanyang County is a big county, and two hundred horses can still afford it, but I just didn't think it was necessary before.

Chen Lin was unwilling after all, and suddenly a plan flashed in his heart, and said to Qin Jie: "Isn't Qin Taishou going to reorganize the army for war, Hanzhong and Nanyang are neighbors, why don't Qin Taishou send a document and invite Hanzhong County to send troops to help Qin Taishou, then the official will order the eight hundred cavalry in the county to come quickly, plus these two hundred, this county can send a thousand cavalry to help Qin Taishou, how about it?" "Soldiers and others can't cross the border without permission, but if there is an invitation from another county, that's another matter. Chen Lin thought to himself, didn't you Qin Jie use the war as an excuse, my Hanzhong even gave you the help of a thousand cavalry, you can't still force my two hundred good horses.

When Qin Jie heard this, he couldn't imagine that Chen Lin would take the initiative to send troops to help for the sake of these two hundred horses, this is a thankless thing, if it is a meritorious service, it is easy to say, if it is not careful, the thousand cavalry is not a small number, besides, even if it is meritorious, it is the official of Jingzhou Prefecture first. When Qin Jie heard the help of a thousand cavalrymen, his heart moved, and he remembered that if Chen Lin made meritorious service, it was also invited by me Qin Jie, and the credit should not be shared with me, so Qin Jie patted his thigh: "Okay, according to Chen Taishou's words, this official immediately issued an official document to Hanzhong and returned the two hundred horses, I don't know that within ten days, Chen Taishou's soldiers and horses can be in place, and Jiang Xia can be next to Nanyang?" ”

When Chen Lin heard this, ten days was enough, and said: "Ten days is enough, but Hanzhong is far away, and the army has little food and grass to trouble Qin Taishou." "Qin Jie got a big bargain, so he naturally responded to his requests, and it was not a problem to promise grain and grass with a mouthful. Chen Lin was full of anger and didn't know how to vent, if it weren't for this, I was afraid that two hundred war horses would not be so easy to come back, and now the three states that produced horses in the north were in chaos, and now the powerful people in various places have equipped themselves with them, and the high-quality war horses are not as easy to buy as in previous years. Ma Yuan is under the control of others, ten taels of gold ten years ago you can get a good horse, now, the price is doubled or there is no market. As soon as it is sent from the north to the south, it is even more expensive.

Chen Lin was angry and walked out of the Qin Mansion, Huang Yan Xu San and others hurriedly surrounded him, Chen Lin said to Xu San: "Xu San, how much are your two hundred war horses?" Xu San was originally a horse dealer, for money, so he said: "Now there are wars everywhere in the north, war horses are not easy to buy, these two hundred are all first-class good horses, but Chen Gongzi ......" When Xu San said Chen Gongzi, Zhou Cang looked angrily: "Hmm." He glared at Xu San fiercely. Xu San was witty and hurriedly changed his words: "But Chen Taishou has been Xu San's old customer over the years, so Xu San is just making a lot of money, thirty taels and one horses." ”

Chen Lin knew in his heart that thirty taels was twice as expensive as ten years ago, but it was worth it to buy a decent war horse. So Chen Lin turned back to Huang Yan and said, "Huang Yan, you immediately hurry back to Nanzheng, and pass on an order, let Zhong Zhi lead the wolf riders to arrive in Yuxian County in ten days, and at the same time select two hundred people to come, there are two hundred good horses waiting for them." Then give Xu San 8,000 taels of gold, Xu Sanru and Huang Yan went straight to Hanzhong County, and in the future, they will sell horses for me in Hanzhong, and go back to ask Lord Juncheng to open a document for you, to see who will dare to intercept Xu San's horse in the future. Chen Lin gave Xu an extra three or two thousand taels of gold at once, and Xu Sanxin, who was happy, said that these hardships were finally worth it, and he was even more determined to serve Chen Lin.

On the second day, Qin Jie really returned the two hundred horses to Chen Lin, and gave Chen Lin a document with the county order of Yu County to support grain and grass, and agreed to meet in Xinye County. Chen Lin's eighty horsemen drove the horses back to Yu County, camped outside the county seat, and waited for Chen Ze's arrival, and at the same time, the county order of Yu County also urgently prepared grain and grass for Chen Lin, Chen Lin did not have much, as long as the grain and grass of a thousand cavalry troops for five days, anyway, they were fighting in Jingzhou, and when they arrived at the convergence of Xinye and Qin Jie, they were afraid that there would be no food and grass?

Jia Xu, who was far away in Hanzhong, knew that Huang Yan was back, and only then did he know that Chen Lin had suffered a dumb loss on Qin Jie, so he rode with Huang Yan, Chen Ze and others to join Chen Lin, and on the ninth day, Chen Ze rode to Yuxian. Even when Huang Yan rushed back to Nanzheng, Chen Ze came quickly, but Chen Ze was far from satisfied, just because this time there were two more people without horses, and some of them had to have two horses, so the speed was slower.

Jia Xu came over to see Chen Lin, and saw that Chen Lin's mood was not very high, and he knew that Chen Lin was unwilling in his heart. Jia Xu said with a smile: "The lord understands the righteousness this time and takes the initiative to send troops to quell the chaos in Jingzhou, but I am afraid that many people and celebrities in Jingzhou will be grateful to the lord, and the lord's move is a wise move." When Chen Lin heard this, he was feeling aggrieved in his heart, but Jia Xu said that it was a good thing, and he was immediately interested. Jia Xu said again: "The lord thinks, there are two counties in this Jingzhou and the three eastern counties of Hanzhong County are adjacent, if everyone knows the benevolence of the lord, and the people under his rule are happy, I am afraid that there are many people who come to take refuge." Therefore, it is a wise move to say that the lord's move is just to promote the virtue of my Hanzhong, and the lord thinks it. ”

Chen Lin laughed and said, "Jia Wenhe, anything can be changed in your mouth." That's it, that's it, but this time it's a bit careless. Jia Xu never said much about the past, and Jia Xu didn't say anything about Chen Lin, so he just smiled and didn't say anything anymore. However, Chen Lin got an inspiration from Jia Xu's words, that is, the thing that Grandpa said at the beginning to spread fame, this must be done well, and this loss cannot be eaten in vain. So Chen Lin said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, but you took what you said seriously. The secret agent in Wen He's hands is not just spying on the news, so he ordered the secret agent to arrange people to go to Jingzhou, oh no, the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, to spread rumors, and spread the deeds of a certain Runan Yellow Turban, Xiliang Rehabilitation, Hanzhong's suppression of rice thieves and the deeds of this battle in Jingzhou are known to the world. ”

Jia Xu is not a fool, as soon as Chen Lin finished speaking, Jia Xu understood Chen Lin's thoughts, the purpose of this secret agent is not just a secret agent, and this rumor is not necessarily just spreading some bad things, it can also be good, but the world is limited to the experience of the ancestors. Jia Xu thought to himself, the lord is still flexible, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable. Therefore, Jia Xu was also very interested, as if he had encountered something new, and hurriedly discussed the details with Chen Lin. From here on, there are people in the thirteen states of the Han Empire from time to time in the inn and horse market to discuss the matter of Chen Lin in Hanzhong, some say that Chen Lin is not brave, some say that Chen Lin is wise and crown the world, and some say that Chen Lin is greedy and lustful, in short, there are all kinds of things. Whether it's good or bad, in short, many people have a lot of interest in this Chen Lin. Thousands of families in Jingzhou have been relocated to Hanzhong County one after another.

It is not very far from Yuxian to Xinye, Chen Lin is a cavalryman, and he is there in a blink of an eye. Qin Jie was dressed in martial armor at this time, and had already set up camp with 5,000 Nanyang troops, seeing that Chen Lin led the cavalry to arrive, he hurriedly went out to greet him, and saw that Chen Lin did not miss the contract, and really led a thousand cavalry to help the battle, he couldn't help laughing and welcomed Chen Lin into the military tent. There are still a few people in Qin Jie's military account who seem to be the generals of Nanyang, Qin Jie sat down and said: "Nanyang is the hometown of the general, and Zhao Ci will never be allowed to flow to Nanyang, so the generals must do their best to get rid of thieves for the country. "There was a reason why Qin Jie swore so much, because Wang Min, the assassin of Jingzhou, had already led 10,000 soldiers to subdue Jiangxia at this time, crossed the Yangtze River to the north of Pingchun County, and Zhao Ci's army was in the Pingchun area. Qin Jie is in Xinye, in the west of Pingchun, Zhao Ci is surrounded on both sides, and the north is a mountain, if Zhao Ci runs fast, he can only enter Yangzhou in the east.

In the end, Qin Jie made a decision: "The army will set off tomorrow, march east to Pingchun, and exterminate the anti-thieves." ”
