After the end of the battle to destroy the Red Army, hundreds of You Army generals decided to take refuge in the Jin State, and more than 400,000 of the 500,000 You Army were attracted by them to the Jin State.

With the withdrawal of the Jin and Xin-Red armies from Youdi, the people of Youdi were once again sharply reduced, and at this time, many villages and towns in Youdi became vacant land, and the population moved northward on a large scale.

In the battle to destroy You, although the Jin State did not occupy an inch of land, the people of the You State were astronomical, and there were 400,000 You Central Army, so it can be said that the benefits of the Jin State were not less than those of the Yan and Red Kingdoms. In terms of short-term benefits, it is much greater than that of the two countries.

On the other side, Lin Haotian led the Jin army, took You Ren, walked through the Mu Kingdom, and then passed through the five counties of Chibei to enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and when the large group of people arrived in Wancheng, it was already two months later.

This time, Lin Haotian led the army to return triumphantly, and he didn't need to be reminded by others that Zhao Yu took the initiative to go out of the city to greet him.

The coalition forces eliminated You Guo and killed Nie Lin, who was the emperor, he was naturally full of joy and expressed his heartfelt welcome to Lin Haotian's return. He didn't let Lin Haotian go back to the general's mansion, but directly invited him into the palace, and in the main hall of the palace, the feast had already been arranged.

At the banquet, Zhao Yu, who was in a good mood, seemed very excited, and toasted Lin Haotian from time to time, praising the battle of the coalition forces to exterminate You.

The atmosphere in the hall was lively and harmonious, and everyone attending the banquet had a good meal.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Yu suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Haotian and said with a smile: "Aiqing has made a lot of merit this time, and this king has to reward you heavily!"

Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart: "Reward me? What can you reward me? What kind of gold and silver treasures in the palace did not come from him himself?" He smiled slightly and said, "Serve the king." Crusade against the ministers, the ministers do not ask for rewards!" As he spoke, he turned around, faced out of the hall, and slapped his face.

With a crisp sound, two guards walked in from outside. At the same time, a large box was brought in, and when the lid of the box was opened, the golden light inside was reflected in time, and the surrounding ministers looked at it, okay, the box was full of gold and silver utensils, jewels and jade.

Lin Haotian smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Your lords have assisted your lords, and these treasures are all the spoils of war obtained by this commander when he crusaded against You Guo. Let's give it to all of you!"

Hearing this, the ministers present all smiled happily, got up from their seats, and bowed their hands and said, "Your Majesty, thank General Lin!"

Zhao Yu was also so happy that his mouth couldn't close on the dragon chair, thinking that Lin Haotian did not hide his personal interests, and was willing to take out the seized gold, silver and jewelry and distribute them to the ministers of the DPRK and China, which was really rare.

But Du Qing, who was sitting next to him, frowned and shook his head secretly. Lin Haotian is just the commander of the first army. What qualifications are there to reward the ministers of the court in the court, if this goes on for a long time? Didn't the ministers only remember Lin Haotian's favor and forget the king's kindness? Lin Haotian did this, at least he was arrogant and unsightly, and at worst, he could be regarded as ill-intentioned and rebellious.

Although Du Qing was nominally a general, he did not dare to reprimand Lin Haotian on the spot. Even if you are dissatisfied, you can only endure it. He turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, and saw that the latter didn't notice that Lin Haotian's actions were inappropriate, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the banquet came to an end. Zhao Yu, who was very drunk, was supported by the maid and went back to the palace to rest, and Lin Haotian was also drunk three times, and returned to the general's mansion under the protection of the generals.

In the next few days, the affairs of the Kingdom of Jin began to be busy again.

Millions of You people should be resettled, where they should be settled, how much land each family should be allocated, and how to let You people integrate into the Jin people and the Jin country as soon as possible, all of which must be dealt with as soon as possible.

In addition, it is also a problem to arrange You Jun in this way. There are 400,000 people in the You army, and it is still organized in a systematic manner, if it is dismantled, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the officers and men in the army, and it will also cause suspicion.

Lin Haotian specially found Chu Lianyu for this reason and asked him what he meant.

After hearing Lin Haotian's doubts, Chu Lianyu was happy and said, "My lord, what's so difficult about this?"

"If you have any good ideas, tell me about it!"

Chu Lianyu asked rhetorically: "The combat power of the You Army is comparable to that of our country's First Army, and such a strong army naturally has to be deployed in the weakest place in our country. Tell me, my lord, where is my country the weakest now?"

Lin Haotian thought for a moment and said, "The five counties of the south and the north of Chibei are directly facing the Red Country, and the pressure there is also the greatest. ”

"That's right!" Chu Lianyu said: "The five counties of Chibei are the most important thing, that is, they can isolate the Red Country and directly send troops to our country, and it is also the base camp of our country's southern attack on the Red Country, and there must be no mistakes, and the 400,000 You Army will be deployed in the five counties of Chibei, which is enough to ensure that the five counties are worry-free!"

Lin Haotian shook his head and said, "You also said that the five counties of Chibei are the top priority, if you arrange You Jun there, what if there is a change?"

Chu Lianyu smiled leisurely and said, "To prevent You Jun from changing, it's very simple, just place You Jun's family near Wancheng. Other You people who have moved north, adults can place them in various parts of our country, but the families of You Jun must be placed near the capital, as long as the families of these You Jun are firmly controlled, You Jun will never change, and they will also die for their lives. ”

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded his head and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes! This is a good way! However, it is difficult for the villages and towns around Wancheng to accommodate the more than one million You Jun's family members!"

Chu Lianyu said: "Since there is already an acropolis in the capital, why can't there be another acropolis?"

For Chu Lianyu's suggestion, Lin Haotian felt that it was very feasible, and it was the safest to arrange it this way, and he asked with a smile: "What is the name of the new city?"

Chu Lianyu held his chin and thought for a while, and said: "This city has the meaning of Lord Ping's worries, so call it Pingcheng!"

Lin Haotian nodded, but then frowned and said, "Building a new city costs a lot of money, and it requires a lot of gold and silver!"

Chu Lianyu said: "Didn't your lord seize a lot of booty when he conquered You Guo? ”

"Well...... It seems that this is the only way to go. Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and spoke helplessly.

The state of Jin has been fighting for many years, and the treasury has been in a state of semi-emptiness. To build a new city, it costs a lot of money, and the treasury of the Jin State cannot support it at all, and it can only take out the gold, silver and jewelry seized from the You State for emergencies.

He and Chu Lianyu finalized this matter, and the next day, during the court meeting of the Jin State. He made the announcement public.

As for Lin Haotian's arrangement, the soldiers of the You Army led by Chu Chen could accept it, they were far away from their hometowns and took refuge in the Jin State, and their biggest concern was how to settle their families. Now that the Jin Kingdom wants to build a new city near Wancheng and use it exclusively for the purpose of relocating You Jun's family, this is naturally the best, and they don't need to be distracted to figure out their own way.

To build a new city, even if the country of Jin has sufficient labor. It is impossible to complete it in a short period of time, before the new city is built, You Jun's family temporarily settled in the vicinity of Wancheng, so that there are many more temporary villages and towns near Wancheng.

As for the 400,000 You Army, Lin Haotian named it the Iron Lion Army, Chu Chen served as the commander of the legion, and there were four deputy commanders. They are Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng and Guan Dai, these four people. They are all from Jin Jiang.

Because the strength of the Iron Lion Army is too large, far beyond the establishment of the regular army of the Jin State, there is also an internal subdivision, and the 400,000 soldiers are divided into four parts, namely the first, second, third, and fourth legions of the Iron Lion, each of which is 100,000 people. It is directly managed by four deputy corps.

It can also be seen from this that although Chu Chen is the commander of the 400,000 You Army, the real power is in the hands of the four deputy army commanders, and his power has been set aside to a large extent.

For generals who are not from the Jin Kingdom, Lin Haotian will not give full trust all at once, and he must always leave a backhand.

After making a detailed plan for You Jun. Lin Haotian then gave the order, and the Iron Lion Army went south, entered the five counties of Chibei, assisted the court of the New Red Kingdom, and guarded the border.

As soon as he gave an order, the 400,000 Iron Lion Army moved in unison, marching southward and heading towards the five counties of Chibei.

On the other hand, Lin Haotian ordered the Military Administration Hall to work out a specific time and plan for the war against the Red Army as soon as possible, and he also told the New Red Army and asked it to jointly send troops.

As soon as the Jin State finished its expedition to Youguo, he began to deploy the Red War again, and the dark clouds of the war did not dissipate because of the destruction of Youguo, but became more and more solemn.

Now, the strength of the Jin State is increasing rapidly, and the generals in the army are constantly losing in the war, less and less, Lin Haotian urgently needs a large number of generals and military generals to fill the vacancies in the army, and soon after he returned to Wancheng, the Jin State once again issued a military conscription order to recruit talents throughout the country.

This time, the number of applicants was unprecedented, but the race was no longer only Jinren, but also a large number of wooden people, red people, and even Youren.

After layers of screening, there were twenty people on the list submitted to Lin Haotian. Among them, the Jin people only occupy five seats, the Mu people and the Red people occupy five seats, and the other ten seats are all occupied by the You people.

Of the ten outstanding talents of the You country, four of them were originally generals in the You army, but they were not satisfied with their current positions, and when the imperial court issued a military order, they also took the opportunity to sign up.

At that time, in addition to the Jin foreign countries, the soldiers in the armies of various countries were not proportional to their strength and military rank, and whether they could be reused in the army or not must first look at their background.

For those generals who have strength, but their military rank is not high, the military order is a rare and good opportunity for them.

Lin Haotian was very interested in the talents selected by the military order, and specially arranged a banquet in his general's mansion to summon all these twenty people, first, to meet them, and secondly, to see if they really had extraordinary strength.

After all twenty people arrived, they were led by the guards of the General's Mansion and entered the hall together.

Lin Haotian, who was sitting in the center, smiled and looked at the twenty people carefully: among them, some were tall and some were short, some were fat and some were thin, and it was rare that there were two women.

In the army, female generals are not perennial, Lin Haotian stretched out his hand to the second daughter and asked, "What are the names of the two girls?"

The woman on the left was nearly thirty years old, with dark skin, but big eyes, like two copper bells, a high nose bridge, a diamond-shaped mouth, and a beautiful appearance alone, but she was tall, dark and strong. When an ordinary man saw her, he instinctively retreated.

The black strong woman did not give a blessing ceremony like an ordinary woman, but intervened like a man, and said in a loud voice: "The little girl's name is Su Wan, a native of Tong County, Guannan County. ”

Oh! It turned out to be a woman from the Jin Kingdom! Lin Haotian had a good impression of her, and the smile on his face deepened a little. asked with a smile: "You are a girl, you are not at home with a husband and children, why do you choose to join the army?"

Su Wan's face was straight, and she said: "Serve the country and serve the country, regardless of gender!"

"Well said!" Lin Haotian nodded appreciatively, then looked at the other woman.

This one is younger than Su Wan, only twenty-five or six years old, and he is not very beautiful. But it is very attractive, the face is as white as jade, the eyebrows are thick, the eyes are deep, the nose is firm, and there is a heroic spirit between the eyebrows, giving people a heroic feeling. She is a typical girl and man, and because of that. It gave her a unique temperament and charm.

Lin Haotian looked at her for a while, and asked with a smile, "What's this girl's name?"

"The folk girl Zeng Die. Wood land Kitayama gun. "She is very beautiful and speaks very clearly. Without waiting for Lin Haotian to ask her why she joined the army, she took the initiative to say: "The people's daughter's family is in the middle of the road, so she joins the army to supplement the family, that's all." ”

Lin Haotian liked her outspoken and neat personality very much, and he said with a smile: "Joining the army is not child's play. On the battlefield, life and death are only between the first line, looking at your appearance, it seems that you have not suffered hardship, can you adapt to it?"

Zeng Die said: "That is, he has joined the army." I have already made up my mind, and adults don't have to worry about it. ”

Lin Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed on his back. He turned his head and asked Shao Lin beside him in a low voice, "How is this woman's cultivation?"

Shao Lin, who had been secretly observing their cultivation, hurriedly replied, "Lord Hui, his cultivation is at best below average. ”

In this way, he can be selected, is he quite familiar with the art of war and tactics? Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and asked, "Miss Zeng Die, if this commander gives you a corps and lets you invade the territory of the Red Kingdom, where will you use as a breakthrough?"

Hearing this, everyone present frowned. Although Lin Haotian didn't ask them, they were also secretly pondering this question, but Zeng Die didn't think too much about it, only pondered for a moment, and immediately replied: "The people's girls will use Surabaya County as a breakthrough!"

"Oh?" Lin Haotian shook his head and said, "Surabaya County is an important place in the Red Kingdom, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there, so if you only bring 10,000 people and enter rashly, wouldn't you kill yourself?"

Zeng Die replied: "Surabaya County corresponds to Anqiu County, Anqiu County is a horse flat, there is no danger to be the first, our garrison in Anqiu County has always been on the defensive, so although there are many Red Army in Surabaya County, they are negligent in taking precautions, and our army's small force infiltrates and is not easy to be detected by it." Second, the terrain of Surabaya County is complex, mountainous and forested, which is convenient for small forces to hide. Third, Surabaya County extends in all directions, and even if its tracks are exposed and a large number of enemy troops are besieged, although it cannot fight, it can retreat, or retreat north to Anqiu, or retreat west to Xinchiguo, so as not to let the whole army fall into a desperate situation. ”

Listening to Zeng Die's answers, Lin Haotian was quite surprised, he didn't expect that such a little girl from Mudi would be so familiar with the environment of the Red Country, and she could answer her own questions well, it seems that it was not luck that she was selected into the list of the last in the military conquest. He stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "Yes, Miss Zeng Die has a lot of insights, my country is going to enter the Red Country, and Surabaya County is indeed one of the breakthroughs of my country!" As he spoke, he asked Shao Lin again: "Among them, who has the highest cultivation?"

"It's the red-faced man!" Shao Lin glanced at a burly man with a dark red face in the crowd, and added in a low voice, "This person's cultivation is not under his subordinates!"

Shao Lin's martial arts are outstanding, and it is rare for his cultivation to be higher than the two of them.

Lin Haotian's spirits were lifted, and he followed Shao Lin's gaze, looked at the red-faced man, stretched out his finger to point at him, and asked, "What's your name?"

"The last general, Hu Xia, see your lord!" The red-faced man stepped out of the queue and saluted Lin Haotian. He was tall and big, and his voice was loud, and he spoke with bursts of echoes.

Hearing him call himself the last general, Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

The red-faced man immediately explained: "The last general was originally the deputy commander of the Sixth Corps of the First Legion of the Iron Lion Army, and this time the imperial court issued a military order, and the last general also signed up, and he was lucky to be selected, and I hope my lord will not blame." ”

Lin Haotian smiled bitterly and shook his head, he waved his hand, and said: "General Hu don't have to worry, the original intention of the military order is to select and promote talents, if you really have strength, the commander doesn't want you to be buried." ”

Lin Haotian asked everyone to report their names one by one, and roughly asked them about their origins, and then asked people to bring wine and food, and chatted with everyone while eating.

Halfway through the banquet, a guard came in to report that Wang Yu from the Lieutenant's Mansion asked to see him.

The Lieutenant's Mansion is responsible for the security of the capital, and Wang Yu is one of the persons in charge of the Lieutenant's Mansion, so it must be important for him to come and ask for a meeting.

Lin Haotian asked the guards to invite him in. After a short time, Wang Yu strode in from outside, he didn't squint, he ignored the people around him, and came to Lin Haotian closely, intervened in the salute, and said: "The last general, Wang Yu, participate in the adult!"

Waving his hand, Lin Haotian asked, "What's the matter with General Wang?"

"This ......" Wang Yu's gaze swept left and right, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't speak immediately.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian immediately understood what he meant, raised his head and said, "Speak closely!"

"Yes, my lord!" Wang Yu responded, bypassed the table, came to Lin Haotian's side, knelt on the ground, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, the last general has just received the news that there are a large number of Muguo underworld warriors in Linkouzhuang on the outskirts of the capital, and it is likely to be a chivalrous man against our country.

Although Wang Yu is one of the persons in charge of the Lieutenant's Mansion, within the scope of the capital, he can mobilize the troops of the Lieutenant's Mansion at will, but if he wants to lead the army to leave Wancheng, he needs Lin Haotian's approval.

After Lin Haotian heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Is the news accurate?"

Wang Yu nodded, and said confidently: "Those who report to the last general will never dare to lie. ”

"En!" Lin Haotian responded thoughtfully, his eyes rolled, and he pondered for a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the people below, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly came up with an idea. He said to Wang Yu: "Everyone here is the elite screened out of this military order, however, I don't know their strength, this time, let them go with you, together to encircle and suppress the enemy's henchmen, you also take a look at their ability by the way, after coming back, report to me in detail!"

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes!

Lin Haotian waved his hand to Wang Yu, asked him to step aside first, and then said to everyone present: "There is a small town ten miles west of the capital, called Linkouzhuang, and now there are a group of rebels who are dissatisfied with the imperial court and are extremely harmful.

Everyone present was in high spirits, and they all bowed their hands and said: "My lord has a life, we will definitely go all out!"

"Very good, without further ado, you guys should come out now!" As he spoke, Lin Haotian reminded again seriously: "The traitors to the party are not ordinary people, you must be careful." ”

"Yes, my lord!" everyone took orders, and many people began to secretly rub their fists and palms, ready to make a big show in front of the adults.

They didn't delay much, and immediately saluted Lin Haotian and retreated, and then followed Wang Yu. (To be continued......)
