Qingzhou's reception was much easier than imagined, and when the six county taishou came to meet Yuan Shang, they directly brought all the taxes, books, treasury, money and grain of their respective territories, and proved their determination with sincerity.

Of course, these things are just appearances, and they can't be dug deep, otherwise they will definitely be tired.

But Lin Mo doesn't care about this, a Xuzhou, he has been governing for two years and can't make all the counties clear, and he has replaced Taishou with his own people.

As for the six counties of Qingzhou, even with the help of the name of the Yuan family, it can only be temporarily stabilized, and it will take a long time to completely embark on the road of Xuzhou and replace it with your own people, and it is a blunt knife to cut the meat, take your time.

There is no big problem with the decree, and personnel cannot be transferred, so let's seek stability first.

The military problem is bigger, and the number of Eryuan soldiers and horses after the integration is not as large as imagined, only 120,000.

However, this is an army that has been streamlined, for example, tens of thousands of people fled before receiving it, and after receiving it, it will have to lay off the old, weak, sick and disabled, 120,000 people, which is not a small number.

Coupled with Lu Bu's own soldiers and horses, there are more than 150,000 people.

What made Lu Bu and Lin Mo more excited was that from now on, they should not be too worried about the problem of cavalry, just the two Yuan's war horses together have 10,000 horses, not counting his own war horses.

However, the quality of Yuan's cavalry is not good, and what can be used is about 3,000 people, all of which are the cavalry corps left by Wen Chou.

This is something that can't be helped, Yuan Shao's most elite war horses were all lost during the Central Plains War, Yuan Shang can buy war horses from the border, but he can't train cavalry with strong combat power in a short period of time.

This can only rely on Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu.

All of this is good news, but the tricky thing is the officers.

120,000 Yuan army, just to change the military marquis, you have to prepare 300 people to come out, plus Sima, Du Lieutenant, Captain, and partial general, to get 5 or 600 people.

And these people not only ask for loyalty to Lu Bu, but also have two brushes themselves, otherwise how can you lead the troops and serve the people.

This number can't be satisfied even if all the generals in Lu Bu's army are transferred, not to mention, if they are all transferred, who will command their own people.

In desperation, Lin Mo could only find Gao Shun to disband the trapped camp, and at present, only by placing all of them in the Yuan army as generals can this army quickly integrate together and form a new combat force.

When Gao Shun heard that the old problem of facial paralysis was cured on the spot, his expression was distorted, and he waved his hand again and again, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." Brothers, I have been with me for so many years, why don't you disband the Bingzhou cavalry, or you can recruit Wen Yuan's personal guards. ”

Lord Yuezhang and Liao Shen know that you say this, will you do it?

Lin Mo smiled helplessly: "It's not okay for me to borrow it from you, half a year, half a year later, the whole camp will return to the team, and now there is really no way." ”

Gao Shun's eyes rolled, "What you said, it's only half a year." ”

To tell the truth, there were eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command, but unfortunately, except for Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, the others died and rebelled, otherwise they could help.

In front of him, he can only be so excessive, but fortunately, there is a camp in the trap, and these battle-hardened generals should be able to get started soon when they lead the Eryuan soldiers and horses that have just been mixed together.

Having said that, if Lin Mo really wanted to disband the trapping camp, he wouldn't be willing to do it.

After all these things are finalized, you can consider heading towards Yecheng.

Jizhou was originally Yuan Shang's territory, so there was no problem of soothing the people and receiving them.

This trip is mainly to convey an idea to the military and civilians of Jizhou, your master has become a puppet, and from now on it will be our son-in-law who will be in charge, and the cover will be bright for me.

This process will definitely be hindered, and Lin Mo is also mentally prepared, the only trouble is that he can't use the knife.

Therefore, the red sleeve move is very crucial.

Only by penetrating into their interior can they have the opportunity to control the most real situation, and they can be broken one by one.

has already written to Guo Zhao, she should be able to handle it, this little girl is actually quite capable, but she is a little smaller.

Before setting off for Yecheng, there is one last thing to do, to get rid of the black mountain thief Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan is a big trouble, it's no problem to let him make some movement and sabotage with 40,000 gold, but it's unrealistic if you want to buy someone else with 40,000 gold, otherwise Yuan Shao would have taken care of him a long time ago.

He has tens of thousands of troops on hand, although these guys are bandits, but they have been dealing with Yuan Jun for so many years, plus their understanding of the terrain of Taihang Mountain, they can't be taken lightly as ordinary bandits.

But it doesn't work to let it go, such a team, even if he doesn't run to your land to loot, he can't prevent Cao Cao from being interested in him.

Therefore, the black mountain thieves on Taihang Mountain must be dealt with, and it is best to collect them for their own use.

If you don't agree, you will have to use soldiers.

"I'll go."

Lin Mo had just come up with an idea, and before Lu Bu could open his mouth to comment, Wei Yue happily asked for his life.

Lu Bu glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's appropriate for you to go, when dozens of horsemen swept tens of thousands of Black Mountain thieves, you almost slaughtered Zhang Yan, and he had enough deterrent power." ”

Lin Mo thought about it, Wei Yue is indeed suitable, this kind of thing can't be done at all, Lao Yue's father seems to be too cheap since he ends, and if he accidentally scares Zhang Yan into Cao, it will be troublesome.

"Then take the Wolf Rider with you." Although they were all accustomed to calling Lu Bu's old team the Bingzhou Cavalry, Lin Mo had always called them Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

They also seem to enjoy the title, which sounds a little more domineering.

"Anyway, it is unlikely that there will be signs of going on an expedition at the moment, you take them with you, in case the negotiation is not appropriate, you will decide whether to fight or retreat."

Lu Bu thought for a while, and added: "If he is willing to surrender and rule the land to be a Taishou, the greatest sincerity, if he is not greedy enough, then ask him if he remembers how Fang Tian painted the halberd to kill people." ”

Wei Yue laughed proudly, "Wen Hou rest assured, he will live up to his trust!" ”

Two days later, Wei Yue took the Bingzhou wolf to ride in the direction of Zhongshan Kingdom, while Lu Bu and Lin Mo protected Yuan Shang and rushed to Yecheng.

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun led the Chinese army, this team was too large, and the marching speed was not fast, and it was estimated that it would take at least twenty days for them to reach Yecheng.

"Over there in Youzhou, I see that your 40,000 gold is in vain, Gongsun Kang has the ability to protect himself, let him lead the troops across the border, and he can't look down on that money."

On the way, Lu Bu said leisurely.

It was Xu You who asked Zhen Rong to go to the north to bribe, and the 80,000 gold was given to Zhang Yan and the other to Gongsun Kang.

The old father-in-law was right, the money given to Gongsun Kang was indeed a waste, but there was no way.

At the beginning, Lin Mo's idea was that Yuan Shang would flee to Youzhou after the defeat as in history, so as long as they captured Youzhou, their brother's only way to survive would be Gongsun Kang.

However, Lu Bu did not have such a deterrent power as Cao Cao in history, and he might not be able to scare Gongsun Kang into cutting off their brother's head, so he made the final preparations.

Later, Lin Mo found out that Yuan Tan was not a character he could control at all, so he had no choice but to change to a puppet, which led to the 40,000 gold given to Gongsun Kang, probably blind.

"It's okay, I still have a back hand to deal with Youzhou."

"I love to hear you say that."

When Lu Bu heard this, he didn't ask first, and laughed directly.

There's no way, my son-in-law has really never missed in this regard, and he has proud capital.

"Still."

"But what?" Lu Bu's eyes sank.

Lin Mobei looked in the direction of Youzhou, frowned, and said, "The person I sent to Zhongshan came back and said that Zhen Rong had already left the Zhen family, what had happened, how could he leave without saying goodbye." ”

"It's not like that guy's style."

Lu Bu also wondered, "In the past, we were in such a difficult situation, he was still in front of you, but now that he is about to enter the northern kingdom, he still wants to succeed and retire?" ”

Lin Mo said that he didn't know, this was really not like Zhenrong's style of doing things.

However, Yuan Xi still has to clean up, maybe he really has no ambitions, but since he has chosen the road of coercing Yuan Shangling to the north, he must not let a second Yuan family appear here.

In case one day he suddenly rises up and says that he is the orthodox Yuan family, it will be more troublesome.

An Feng's side, the recent behavior of the Lu army is very suspicious, they continue to transfer materials to the Yanhui Ridge, at the beginning it was grain and grass, and there were not many troops guarding, Xiahoudun wanted to go out to play a sneak attack, but was vetoed by Guo Jia.

In front of the situation, it is better to brake quietly, and the opposite side is clearly using grain and grass to attract us to a sneak attack, but in fact there is an ambush around.

After all, there are many mountains and forests in Huainan, and many places can ambush thousands of people without showing a trace.

As time passed, Guo Jia felt that things were not so simple, because the transport teams in Anfeng City were out almost every two or three days, and they were no longer limited to grain and grass, and even the armor and ordnance were transported to Yanhui Ridge, as if they could garrison millions of soldiers.

"Zhang Liao, if you can't trick us once, won't you change the way, even if you come to the door to challenge, it's more effective than this method!" Xiahoudun only felt that Zhang Liao was a little stupid, since we didn't go to the sneak attack for the first time, we naturally wouldn't go later, what do you think.

Guo Jia smiled and muttered, "It seems that Lu Bu's command is indeed not only Lin Mo a capable person, but also someone is guiding Zhang Liao. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Xiahoudun didn't know why.

"He should have seen my intention to flood Anfeng, on the surface, he was using the transfer of grain, grass, and ordnance to attract us to a sneak attack, if he could ambush it, of course it would be good, even if he couldn't fight, he really needed to transport these things to Yanhuiling.

If I'm not mistaken, as soon as the rainy season arrives, the defenders of the city will move to Yanhuiling. ”

Guo Jia pursed his lips and said with emotion: "It's really powerful, it almost puts Lu Jun in an invincible position, this person's talent is by no means under Lin Yunwen."

Now I finally understand why the army on Yanhui Ridge did not move on the night of the surprise attack on Anfeng, which was the last means of saving the life of the Lu army. ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan's pupils suddenly gathered, "Isn't that gentleman's plan to flood useless?" ”

Guo Jia's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he didn't answer Xiahoudun, obviously thinking about something.

Suddenly, his fingers stopped, his palm pressed directly against the table, and a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes, "Then. Let's see who's faster. ”

Xiahoudun blinked, a little confused, he hadn't recovered from the calculation just now, had he already calculated to another height.

After just a short period of excitement, Guo Jia began to rub his temples, showing excessive fatigue from using his brain.

Or maybe it's because I'm tired.

The battle of Anfeng is far more difficult than he imagined, and a Chen Deng will lose more than 10,000 people in the army, but even so, there is still a heavenly opportunity available, if it can break the enemy invisibly.

Who would have thought that a master would appear out of thin air by Zhang Liao's side, and the other party had even seen through his idea of flooding, Guo Jia understood what it means to have a sky outside the sky and someone outside the world.

It seems that in the end, it can only be the details of fighting each other to see who will suffer.

It wasn't until Lu Bu and his entourage arrived in Yangping that this was already the last post station to return to Yecheng, and the doubts in Lin Mo's heart were finally solved.

"In Xia Langya, I am too guarded and Rong, meet Wen Hou!" Zhen Rong appeared at the door of the post station, and waved towards Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, and Lu Bu instinctively turned his head to look into the distance.

Zhen Rong ran in front of Lin Mo again, "Brother Xian, I haven't seen you for a day like every other autumn, I have been waiting for you here for five days, I know that you must go to Yecheng through Yangping Station, hehe, finally the emperor lives up to his painstaking efforts, and when I see Brother Xian again, I feel that the tiredness of my whole body has been swept away, so comfortable, so comfortable." ”

After Lin Mo dismounted, he looked Zhen Rong up and down, looked at him with a sneer, and said unhappily: "Didn't I let you wait at Zhen's house?" ”

"Brother Xian, I don't know the place well, I've been there long enough, in the northern country, far away from home, except for seeing Brother Xian can make me feel at ease, I really feel like an abandoned person."

"You don't play with me, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Lin Mo gave him a blank look.

This guy ran back for disobedience, didn't he just want to follow his old father-in-law and himself into Yecheng.

As the political center of the northern country, the core officials are all serving in Yecheng, and those officials who return under the banner of triumphant class division must come out to greet them, which is the most precious opportunity to show their faces.

Di Rong chose to follow him into the city at this time, one is to tell the northern scholars, my relationship with Wen Hou and Lanling Hou is not ordinary, you had better take it easy.

After all, he promised to make him a state pastor or assassin if he had the opportunity, and if he didn't have some deterrence, he really couldn't do it.

Therefore, he chose to disobey the order at this time and run back to brush up on his sense of existence.

"What kind of mental tricks does the virtuous brother have, the foolish brother will always be like no clothes in front of you, where do you dare to play with your heart, I really miss you." Rong Rong looked aggrieved.

Lost, Lin Mo pushed away Rong in disgust and walked towards the post station.

You're not suitable to play with me, go find Guo Tu, you two are brothers.

It's all here, and you can't really drive him away, just wait for tomorrow to enter Yecheng, get acquainted with people, and then go to Youzhou, anyway, he himself is not tired.

In fact, the task of the Lin Mo faction is not that he has to be integrated, but people are like this, after doing more dirty work, they don't want to change people, after all, finding one more person means that one more person knows about those unbearable dirty.

But now that there is a Guo Tu, it is estimated that it will be much easier in the future.

Lin Mo said that the two of you will be the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks in our army in the future.
