"Can the Dreadnoughts collect taxes on behalf of the three counties?" In the private residence of Xianwan City, Wu Yan stared at Ji Nan opposite in surprise.

"Yes, that's what the young master meant. Although there is no official military order, the governor can do so, and as for Shanbei County, where the lacquer carver is located, and Jinliang County, where the Yang family is located, I have already greeted him, and if anyone is disobedient, he can send troops to ask for it." Ji Nan held the tea cup in his hand and stared at Wu Yan with a smile.

Wu Yan frowned, and heard a different taste, "There is a dispute in Hanlu City, Ji Ye can know about this."

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Nan still said calmly, "It is indeed not peaceful in Hanlu City, and the eldest young lord and the lord have some differences because of the establishment of the crown princess. As for the taxation of the three counties, the second young lord has no objection to it, and he is happy to see it come to pass."

Wu Yan leaned his head on the rattan chair and gently tapped on the tea table next to him, "It's so good, I am grateful to the young master, but I don't know what the dreadnought army needs to do."

"It's okay for the governor to set his own, if he can help with it, it's better." Ji Nan raised her eyelids and looked at Wu Gen meaningfully.

"Helping whom?" Wu Yan stared at each other aggressively.

"Ahem, naturally it's the young master." Ji Nan put down the teacup and said calmly, "This is also what the second young master meant. Presumably, the governor has also heard that the lord has killed a lot in the past few months, which has caused the dissatisfaction of all families, and the second young lord has persuaded him many times, and he has also been punished and confined to the mansion."

Wu Yan sighed slightly, after Ji Xin returned to Hanlu City, he slaughtered Huo Huo, not only killing all the opponents in the city, but also wantonly killing the rebel families such as Lu and Gu. On the side of the road around the city of these families, the trees on both sides were full of corpses, and the blood flowed like a river, which was unbearable.

In today's Liangsha Mountain, people from various families who have escaped continue to enter the mountain, bringing news from outside the mountain. Due to the large number of soldiers of various families in the Dreadnought Army, these people responded openly and secretly, and Wu Yan was not easy to stop, so he could only let them enter the territory of the Dreadnought.

If this continues, the grain and grass in the mountains may become tense again. Sun Hong has proposed several times to intercept the displaced people outside the mountain and resettle them on the Lu family's territory, but Wu Gen refused.

These people defected to the dreadnoughts, although they added some trouble, but first, they could not chill the hearts of their own subordinates, and secondly, the more people, the more soldiers of the dreadnoughts could expand their troops, and the greater the combat potential would be.

Today, there are more than 50,000 soldiers in the Dreadnought Army, but it has reached a bottleneck, because without foreign aid, the people in the mountains alone cannot support more soldiers.

"Moreover, according to the report of the city line, the lord has sent Fu Ji Zhen and Nie Bi to lead 40,000 guards, totaling 80,000 people, stationed outside Lunan, Shanbei and Jinliang County, in order to watch over the 50,000 horses of the governor." Seeing that Wu Yan didn't say anything, Ji Ye continued.

Wu Yan frowned, he had already learned the news, but because the dreadnought's focus would shift to Bailing Province in the future, he didn't do much to deal with it. Wu Yan didn't want to get involved too deeply in the affairs of the Ji family, especially this kind of father-son rebellion and brother-in-law killing. As long as Ji Ye didn't speak, Wu Gen really didn't want to confront the Ji family's men and horses.

"I know, the good intentions of the young lord have been understood, and the dreadnoughts will deal with it." Wu Jian finally made up his mind. Although he knew that the other party was trying to woo him, he had to swallow the bait. The taxes of the three counties are enough to support the application of the dreadnought, which is also the most urgent need for him at the moment.

"Okay, Ji Nan farewell, the founding day is getting closer and closer, and the situation in the province will become more and more tense, please deal with it as soon as possible." Ji Nan got up to say goodbye, and Wu Yan personally sent five miles before returning.

On the second day, Wu Gen summoned the generals from all over the country to the Governor's Mansion and told him about Ji Nan's coming to lobby.

"Owner of the village, Ji Nan is obviously a lobbyist for Ji Chen this time, but the main direction of our army's attack must be changed." Xue Xin was the first to speak.

According to the military discussion a few days ago, the focus of the operation of the Dreadnought Army has been to the west, preparing to cooperate with Hua Yanlin to stir up the situation in Bailing Province, open up the passage with Shixing Village and other places, and wait for an opportunity to bring the surrounding area of Hengmen Port into his control, which is the purpose of Wu Gan's hard work in Kuntianzhou for so long.

In the end, relying on Hengmen Port, he crossed the rising sea and marched to Beizhou to block the expansion of the Divine Cult.

Everyone is looking at Wu Gan, because this involves a series of adjustments in various armies and changes in the focus of preparation, which can be described as

Domino effect.

"The main direction of our army's advance is still to the west, taking into account the Ji family in the north and the Shule province in the south, and this cannot be changed." As for the direction of the march, Wu Jian had already thought about it all night, and finally decided to focus on the westward advance, "The road to the two places has been explored."

Hu Jia hurriedly got up and responded, the matter had already been entrusted to him, "There are two roads to Bailing Province, but due to the rugged mountain road, we have to send people to dig the mountain and open the road for the army to pass. As for the road to Shule Province, the progress is somewhat slow because of the high mountains and the rampant beasts."

"Hurry up, there are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, we must open the road to the west and south as soon as possible, and you can call on the Yihu army to help reconnoiter the routes in various places." Wu Gan's face was serious, and he glanced at the two rows of generals, "The westward advance is still dominated by the left army, and the rest of the armies are assisted, and the corresponding preparations must be completed as soon as possible."

Xue Xin and Hu Jia hurriedly got up and responded.

"What about the 80,000 people in the north, if the situation of the Ji family deteriorates and has to advance north, our army must break through these two groups of men and horses to fight towards Hanlu City." The treasure elephant is also open next to it.

"Those people can't hit Liangsha Mountain for the time being, so they don't need to be too nervous, but they still need to be prepared accordingly." Wu Yan thought for a while and said, "This direction is dominated by the front army, with the assistance of the right army, if you don't fight, forget it, the fight must be fought quickly, and you can't throw your troops here."

Wu Yan turned his head to look at Yang Zheng, and then ordered, "Yang Hou is waiting for an opportunity to contact these two suppressors to find out their details. In addition, keep an eye on Ji Nan, this person's ass is sitting a little crooked."

When the Lu family and other families rebelled, Ji Zhen and Nie Bi were stationed outside with the guards, and they did not have much contact with Wu Gan, so they were not very familiar with it. As for Ji Nan, birds choose good trees to perch, and in today's situation, it is normal to take refuge in anyone.

"Yes, I'll arrange it immediately."

"Also, send a letter to Hua Yanlin, I want to meet him, the location, it is still set in Qiyun Mountain." Wu Yan continued to command with an expressionless face.

Yang Zheng hurriedly responded, in the governor's mansion, Wu Jian never smiled, and the generals did not dare to be casual.

"The taxation of the three provinces is mainly based on Sun Hong, assisted by Lu Qing, Cang Renjing and others, and the Chinese army and the rear army are also responsible for the guard. This is the most important task of our army at present, and it must be done. But whoever dares to stop him, he will be slain with all the strength of his army." Wu Gen commanded coldly.

"Governor, there have been a lot of displaced people recently, so you might as well set up a bureau in front of the mountain to take charge of resettlement." Cang Renjing got up and suggested.

"Yes. Gao Jing, Cang Wei, and Ji Chenming are responsible for this matter, and after the displaced people receive it, they will be disrupted and placed everywhere." Wu Geng agreed to the other party's suggestion.

Five days later, Wu Gen took the water from Yue and Yang Zheng to the northwest by shuttle. In less than half an hour, Qiyun Mountain gradually appeared on the horizon.

This secret meeting with Hua Yanlin, just in case, and also to show his own strength, Wu Yan brought Shui Congyue with him, so as to negotiate a good price with the other party.

The shuttle circled around and finally found a place where wolf smoke was emitting.

"This is it." Yang was pointing to the stone platform where the wolf smoke was emitting.

"Okay, let's go down, be careful." Wu Qian nodded and motioned for Suo Ji to descend.

The shuttle landed on the stone platform, and Wu Jian jumped lightly to the ground, looking around at the surrounding movements. There was no one on the stone platform, and there was still snow on the side of the platform.

After a while, seven or eight people walked out of the forest on one side, and the leader was Hua Yanlin, who was still dressed in green clothes, and when he saw Wu Gan, he smiled and said, "Wu Gan Wu Dudu, Hua is so polite."

"Why is Brother Hua so hypocritical, Wu Yan still remembers the grace of letting him go that day, why did he stink me so much when we met." Wu Yan also laughed, walked a few steps briskly and grabbed the other party's hands tightly.

"Where, where, although I am hiding in this poor country, I have also heard of the earth-shattering actions of Wu Dudu in the Iron Hand Province." Hua Yanlin looked Wu Yan up and down, and sighed in admiration, "I think that the bandits who were only a few hundred people at the beginning are now also the governors of the male side, how dare I, a ten thousand households, be arbitrary. People say that I have the ability to Soma, but I have always disagreed, and seeing the governor again today confirms this statement." qδ.net

"Hehe, they all have good tongues, and they have praised others and exalted themselves." Wu Gan

He let go of the other party's hand and looked around, "Brother Hua won't let me drink cold wine and eat frozen meat."

"Where, the wind is cold in the mountains, so I specially prepared a hot pot. Come, carry them up." With Hua Yanlin's order, his own subordinates carried a hot pot and put it on the stone platform. These people neatly set up a hot pot and lit a bonfire, and for a while the smoke was rising from the cold stone platform.

"Governor Wu, please take a seat. I don't know what these people are called." Hua Yanlin had already noticed Shui Congyue, this person felt very dangerous to himself, like a sword that had been sharpened for ten years, the blade was like frost, and he wanted to pierce the sky.

As for the black fat man in the back, there is a faint ruthlessness, like a poisonous snake, and he will be poisoned by it if he is not careful.

Wu Jian briefly introduced Shui Congyue and Yang Zheng, and the four of them sat in front of the pot. Soon the milky white soup in the pot boiled.

A pro-soldier handed a large piece of mutton to Hua Yanlin with a cutting board, and attached a short knife inlaid with gems.

"This sheep is from the top of the snow-capped mountains, and its meat is tender and tough. On weekdays, when I have nothing to do, I will cut some mutton by myself and drink it alone, and today Wu Dudu is here, but I can see how Hua Mou's craftsmanship is." As he spoke, Hua Yanlin rolled up his sleeves slightly, only to hear the sizzling sound, and the slices of mutton as thin as cicada wings flew, and they were piled up into snowflake peaks in an instant.

"Brother Hua is a good method." Looking at this mutton slices with exactly the same thickness, Wu Yan knew that Hua Yanlin's kung fu was really good, and he couldn't help but feel a little itchy. I am also a person who has cut down a lot of tree stumps, and I know that I can grasp the strength so accurately, and it is not bad at all, and it will not be possible without years of hard practice.

"Hehe, it seems that the governor is also a fellow believer, so you might as well try it." Hua Yanlin raised his eyes and looked at Wu Gan, and handed over the short knife.

"Then try." Wu Yan was also not polite, and reached out to grab the knife. The wrist rotated softly, and the tip of the blade meandered along the texture of the mutton like a swimming dragon, and soon, a large piece of mutton became a thin strip, although it was not as smooth as Hua Yanlin, but Wu Yan followed the texture of the knife, the clouds flowed, and the knife walked the dragon and snake, but it also had a unique charm.

"Good swordsmanship." Hua Yanlin sincerely admired, he is also a person who makes knives, and he knows the goods. Different from his own strong cutting, Wu Gan's knife technique is more like weak water, taking advantage of the trend, so as to overcome the tenacity of the world with softness.

Wu Gan laughed and put the mutton slices on the table in the pot. The mutton was cooked as soon as it was put into the boiling soup, and Wu Yan was not polite, so he reached out and grabbed the jade chopsticks sent by his own soldiers. The meat melts in the mouth, the soup drips down the corners of the mouth, and the bitter cold of the snow-capped mountains is swept away.

After three rounds of drinking, Hua Yanlin put down the chopsticks in his hand and wiped off a little soup from his beard with brocade, "Wu Dudu is here, not to find a flower to enjoy the scenery and eat meat."

Wu Yan stuffed a large mouthful of mutton into his mouth, and Fang Lian reluctantly put down the chopsticks, "Brother Hua, is your ambition still there?"

Hua Yanlin smiled slightly, "Lao Ji is full of strength."

"Okay, Brother Hua has great ambitions, has the opportunity to contain the universe, and has the ambition to swallow heaven and earth, and the younger brother admires it." Wu Gen clapped his hands and smiled, "Wu Gen came here today, you and I will create a great cause together, and the Hulan family is at your fingertips."
