In addition to the establishment of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, according to Chen Mo's requirements, the original Yuzhou Army surrendered to the soldiers, and after all the staff went through the run-in training, all those who passed were incorporated into the Shenyong Guard, and those who were not qualified entered the Shenwu Guard.

Well, after all, he is a veteran, even if he is unqualified, he is not comparable to the guards in the trap.

At present, there are 9,000 people in the Divine Warrior Guard, 4,500 Divine Warrior Guards, and 13,000 Trap Guards.

Chen Mo, who owns the land of Qingyu and Yuzhou, has higher requirements for the army under his command.

For example, Chen Mo built the Divine Brave Guard before, hoping that they would reach the level of a regular army.

But now, the regular army can no longer satisfy him, but surpasses the regular army and reaches the level of the elite of the Qingzhou army.

Shenwuwei, the requirements are a little worse, and you can reach the ordinary soldiers of the Qingzhou Army.

The trap guard, the requirement is the level of the regular army.

Xiao Cavalry Guard, that is the benchmark Xuan Leopard Ride, and even expects to surpass the Xuan Leopard Ride.

Therefore, Chen Mo's current soldiers and horses have undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when they were first built, and their combat effectiveness is increasing day by day.

In Jiaping County, Chen Mo's hand-run Shenjian crossbow workshop, as well as a number of weapon workshops, have been completed in turn recently, and the craftsmen have found them, and they started on the same day.

Chen Mo also built a mining farm around the iron ore mine in Jiaping County to recruit local people for a higher salary than the current market.

With the establishment of a number of workshops in Jiaping County, the population of the county has also increased a lot, and there is even a prototype of a commercial street around the periphery of the factory.

Longmen County is the city and county with the largest number of troops stationed in Yuzhou except for Sanyuan, and the public security and order in the city are much higher than those in other cities, which attracts the big families in the surrounding cities, all of whom have moved to Longmen County, making the county prosperous and lively.

The whole of Yuzhou is slowly developing.

It's August.

Zhang He led five hundred Shen Yongwei and brought the recruited recruits (all of whom currently belong to the establishment of the trap guard) to Shuofei County.

And according to Chen Mo's request, he made a big noise, set up a barracks outside the city, and cut down a large forest.

Cook a meal, and the smell of the food can spread to the city.

As the closest city and county to Longyou in Yuzhou, there are not only people from Yuzhou in the city, but also people from Longyou, which makes the situation in Shuofei County a little complicated.

The county order of Shuofei County is still the original county order of Shuofei County, and it has not changed.

Previously, Chen Mo listened to Geng Songfu's suggestion, and when he investigated in the counties of Yuzhou, he found that the county order and county Cheng of Shuofei County had similar local reputation, but they had not done anything bad, and the county order of Shuofei County had the background of the local scholars, in order to maintain stability, Chen Mo continued to let the other party govern Shuofei County.

But what Chen Mo didn't know was that the small Shuofei County Yamen had the eyes and ears of many forces.

Fortunately, Chen Mo likes to do a full set of plays.

Zhang He came to the county office, found the county order of Shuofei County alone, and said: "Hou Ye will march into Longyou in the near future, and he will be trained here, and I hope that Lord He will cooperate more, this is Hou Ye's paperwork." ”

Although He Xianling's strength was much stronger than Zhang He's, he had to nod at Zhang He at this time, and said, "I understand, the villain must fully cooperate with General Zhang, and congratulate Hou Ye in advance on his victory in the first battle."

As he spoke, He Xianling's face was full of smiles, and he said meaningfully: "General Zhang, the villain set up a dinner party in Chunfeng Tower, and invited General He to appreciate his face." ”

Zhang He also showed an expression that I understood, and said: "Since it is Lord He's kind invitation, how can I not follow it, but I have a habit, when I drink, I only like to let the beauty pour wine, others pour wine, and I have no taste when I drink it." ”

Seeing that Zhang He smelled like each other and claimed to be me, the smile on He Xianling's face became more and more intense, and he said with a smile: "General Zhang, don't worry, General Zhang will be satisfied tonight." ”

When Zhang He went to the banquet in the evening, the news that Chen Mo was about to send troops to Longyou also reached Longyou many days later.

Longyou is not a state, but refers to the area west of Longshan and east of the Huai River, including multiple counties.

To the south of Longyou, there are the Seven Kingdoms of Xirong, which makes the forces in the Longyou region complicated.

The biggest thing here is not the prefect of the county, but the Yueshi inside.

The Yue family is headed by a woman, which is still unique in the Great Song Dynasty.

Originally, south of Longyou, there were eight kingdoms of Xirong, when the Great Song Dynasty was first established, one of the eight countries, Nanyue Kingdom, surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and at that time, the territory of the Nanyue Kingdom was divided into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the royal family of the Nanyue Kingdom is now the Yueshi.

Half of the Longyou region is the territory of the original Nanyue Kingdom.

Of course, this is not to say that the Yue Clan's power is very strong, if it is compared to the Seven Kingdoms of Xirong, it is very weak.

The main reason why Nanyue Kingdom surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty was that Nanyue Kingdom was often bullied by other Xirong Seven Kingdoms, so he found a big father to be a backer, and the queen of Nanyue Kingdom at that time also went to Luonan, the Jingshi of the Great Song Dynasty, and recommended himself to Emperor Taizu, and gave birth to a princess to Emperor Taizu.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty is weak, and the interior is full of holes, the Seven Kingdoms of Xirong suddenly became a little anxious to move, and often invaded Longyou, which made the Yue clan very uncomfortable.

At this time, Yuzhou was also captured by anti-thieves.

That's right, the Yue clan also didn't recognize the fact that the imperial court pardoned the Heavenly Master Army and straightened the Heavenly Master Army, so Chen Mo was a thief in the eyes of the Yue Clan.

In this situation, the Yue clan learned that the rebels in Yuzhou were going to march into Longyou, and they immediately panicked.

If there was no invasion of the Seven Kingdoms of Xirong, the Yue Clan was confident that they would not be afraid of the rebels in Yuzhou, but in the face of the attack of the Seven Kingdoms head-on, how could there be extra troops to deal with the rebels.

The Yue clan could only hastily recruit troops, intending to fight against the odds.

On the other side, Linzhou.

It is different from Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

The prefect of Linzhou is not in charge of the army, and the local soldiers of Linzhou are placed in the county and county, and are generally led by the county and county commander, assisting the prefect and the county commander to maintain local law and order in peacetime, and stopping the court in wartime.

The recruitment of local soldiers must be based on the emperor's tiger talisman.

Because Linzhou is located in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty and does not connect to the border, the total number of local soldiers in many counties does not exceed 20,000.

It's okay in peacetime, you only need to maintain order, and you have many constraints, so you don't have to worry about the officials in Linzhou being disobedient.

But in wartime, if there is no Tiger Talisman, it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, after learning that Yuzhou was occupied by Chen Mo, the prefect of Linzhou was very panicked, and in the absence of the Son of Heaven Tiger Fu, he could really mobilize only three thousand people.

If Chen Mo sent troops to call, the prefect of Linzhou would not be able to stop it at all.

Fortunately, at this time, news came from the front, and Chen Mo was ready to send troops to Longyou.

This made the prefect of Linzhou breathe a sigh of relief, and he would not fight Linzhou now.
