In the autumn of the first year of Yongjia, former powerhouses such as Wang Jun and Luguan died one after another. Perhaps it was because his death was so sudden that all parties were caught off guard. Although those forces that were once suppressed were ready to move, they were subject to opponents of similar strength, and it was difficult to make up their minds for a while. Under the influence of each other, the once chaotic northern Xinjiang suddenly returned to tranquility.

Lu Yao returned to Daijun in time to preside over the overall situation, and Lu Yao was accompanied by Huang Yi and dozens of officials he was familiar with. After Lu Yao talked to Huang Yi, he immediately revealed his intention to solicit, and several capable men who Huang Yi had gathered refugees near the Yang Manor were also among them. Huang Yi's prestige among the officials was indeed extraordinary, and the number of officials who decided to go to Dai County at his call was so large that it almost emptied the direct subordinates of the Ye County Order. So much so that when Lu Yao raised this matter to the officials of Wei County, he caused a lot of sneering.

Out of the desire for a new career, these officials dragged their families and attracted clan tribes, and finally organized a huge team of nearly 1,000 people. Not to mention the great help that these officials who are familiar with the imperial court decree process have brought to Daijun, this sincerity alone has already satisfied Lu Yao.

After this group of experienced officials enriched the internal affairs system of Dai County, they just made up for the loopholes in the management of the military camps in various places at the time of the autumn harvest. And Shao Xu, who was originally tired of taking care of both internal and external affairs, was finally able to free up his hands and concentrate all his energy on the preparations for the capture of Youzhou. Under Shao Xu's overall arrangement, a large number of scouts frequently entered and exited Youzhou counties, strictly and quickly collecting all military and political information, and the caravan of the Fang brothers also did business in Fanyang and Yanguo.

Fang Qinzhi was like a fish in water under the cover of the caravan, and with his incorruptible tongue, he made implicit contact with many pre-selected targets. Although the relationship between Daijun and Youzhou was hostile in the past, since Wang Pengzu died, his subordinates would sooner or later usher in a new Youzhou assassination history. For this reason, it is precisely the wise man who has left some room for change.

At the same time, the military system of Daijun was rapidly reorganized. Although Ding Miao and his subordinates remained in Jizhou and would return to Yueshi Gong when the situation stabilized, the soldiers who had performed well in the Battle of Weiyuan were promoted one after another, and the vacancies of the generals were quickly filled. In addition, hundreds of strong men of various Hu and Jin clans were filled into the army, and the private soldiers of the Jin clan of Weiyuan were gradually incorporated into the command of Daijun, making the already powerful army like a tiger.

What made Lu Yao even happier was that Xiong Cong successfully completed his mission, not only expressing his respect and respect to Yue Shigong, but also bringing Lu Yao's subordinates who stayed in Jinyang before leaving the east.

Before they left Jinyang, Yue Shigong also specially set up a banquet to entertain everyone, politely expressing his praise for Lu Yao, and in his words, he no longer regarded him as a subordinate, but as a member of the party whose status was comparable. For officials like Shao Xu and Wei Cao, who have high hopes for Lu Yao, this is obviously the result they are looking forward to.

Although more than 60% of the original nearly 1,000 troops have been requisitioned and transferred one after another, Guo Huan, who is taciturn and reliable, Xie Yuan, who is good at using spears, Deng Gang, a veteran soldier who often praises "what the general says", and Fei Cen and Yang Ruo...... These capable officers came to Daijun one by one.

These old tribes were at first estranged from Lu Yao's new subordinates, but when Lu Yao sent them to attack on the Bashang grassland and defeated several small tribes that coveted the wintering grassland, the two sides quickly became warm. After all, for soldiers, the first consideration is to have reliable comrades-in-arms who are brave and good at fighting, rather than fighting for power.

Less than two months have passed since the Battle of Weiyuan, and the Daijun army has not only regained its old outlook, but also expanded its strength considerably. Since the climate had not yet formed in Luochuan's tuntian, and the animal husbandry in the grassland of Bashang had been destroyed by the war, it became a difficult task to maintain the grain and straw of this army. In order to make up for the shortage of food, it is necessary to supplement the meat diet. Even if a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock are captured during the sweep of the grasslands, it will not be a long-term solution to be consumed at this rate.

But no one in the civil and military officials of Daijun raised this issue, not even Hu Liuniang, who has always been careful about budgeting. Although the true cause of Wang Jun's death is known to only a very few people involved, anyone with a discerning eye can see that without Wang Jun's strong unifying wrist, Youzhou has become more and more like a ripe fruit that exudes a fragrant and sweet smell. Daijun is undoubtedly the one most likely to grab this fruit, and for this purpose, the temporary consumption is completely bearable.

In the whole calm and waveless situation, only Daijun is ready to usher in a new development.

What Lu Yao relied on was not only the strength of Daijun, but also the promise made to him by the county lord of Jingling when he went to Yecheng this time. Although Lu Yao had never revealed his special friendship with the county lord to anyone, if this factor was taken into account, it was true that everything was already secure.

Perhaps the smooth sailing of these days has made Lu Yao too confident, and he can't help but have a lot of expectations for him, and even indulge his subordinates intentionally or unintentionally with an overly optimistic attitude. But Lu Yao didn't expect the vagaries in the shogunate of the East China Sea King at all, even with the help of the county lord, the powerful East China Sea King might not necessarily act according to his expectations.

Lu Yao's rapid rise has attracted the attention of many people, attracting malicious intent either intentionally or unintentionally; In the case of the intensification of factional disputes within the Great Jin Dynasty, these speculations coincide with the scattered data, and only a little bit of undetectable push will give birth to all kinds of malicious conclusions.

As the governor of Zhongxia in Eastern Wu, the son of Lu Jing, the Marquis of Biling, and the nephew of Emperor Dongwu, Lu Yao's identity is sensitive; Jiangdong Erlu, as a representative of the wealthy clan of Wu County, served as a high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty, and some actions were inevitably criticized by people with good intentions. But if it is like because of his outstanding performance in Bingzhou and Northern Xinjiang, it is asserted that Lu Yao is an elite child specially cultivated by the Lu family, and he has long been a battle-hardened general...... That would be too much of an overestimation of the Jiangdong Lu clan's ability.

The problem is that such rumors are indeed already spreading, and they have a lot of details that make them seem real. When Liu Yu and Liu Qingsun, who are known as never forgetting, confirmed some of the details, Lu Yao's identity background and Lu Yao's purpose were smeared more and more suspicious.

Lu Yao was in Daijun, far away from the Central Plains, and he didn't know this; Even if you know, there is really no means of arguing. If he had enough time to carefully sort out his memories, he would find that the dealings between the Jiangdong Shi clan and the traitor Chen Min were not false, and he himself had indeed gone to Yuzhou as the leader of Lu Shilong's tribe to meet with Chen Min, who led the army to fight; Even when his Lu clan was slaughtered by the king of Chengdu, he still instinctively refused to flee to Jiangdong...... There are indeed similar reasons.

When the imperial court system gradually collapsed, all enemies were doing their best, and it was not only Daijun who had the ability and ambition to use special means. The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and when the contemporary county is trying its best to take the life of Wang Pengzu, someone has already opened a big net, and Lu Yao is also in the net. And Youzhou may be within reach, or it may be out of reach.
