When the meeting in Fenyang Pavilion dispersed, the soldiers happily pulled out the camp and returned to the army.

At this time, it was the end of the first year of Guangxi, although the war had been endless for a year, and it was miserable, but when the traditional festival was coming, people still raised great enthusiasm and expectations. The Haoqiang surnames were also very knowledgeable, providing a lot of wine, meat, etc., and the soldiers ate and drank along the way, and they were not busy on the road. After walking slowly for four days, it was not until December 19 that I saw the iron-gray city wall of Jinyang City.

Since many materials and people need to be counted one by one, the Yue Shi Gong appointed a number of scholars to handle relevant matters, and Lu Yao and others must accompany them.

While he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves at the gate of the city. Dozens of riders rushed out like a whirlwind, and I don't know how many pedestrians were knocked over along the way, and the whole street suddenly jumped and there was a big chaos.

In this Jinyang City, who dares to be so arrogant? Lu Yao turned his head to look, and suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? ”

Xue Tong was beside Lu Yao, so he asked, "Daoming, what's the surprise?" ”

Lu Yao looked strange and said to the team of knights who were gone: "Old Xue, who do you think is the leader?" ”

Xue Tong put his hand on the pergola and took a closer look. But I saw that the knights were clearly armored and very majestic. is the first person, and the whole body seems to be a thick column. Look at his huge head and full of flesh. Although this person tried his best to be rough and arrogant, Xue Tong felt a little ruthless.

The cavalry ran extremely fast, and in an instant disappeared at the end of the road. The corners of Xue Tong's eyes twitched slightly, and he scolded in a low voice: "Fuck, it's actually Long Ji Meng...... Is this guy still alive? "This fat man is the former general of the Bingzhou Army, Yokono General Long Jimeng.

This Long Ji Meng was a high-ranking military attache under Ma Teng of Dongying Company in the past, and his status was only below two or three people, far from being within the reach of ordinary military masters such as Lu Yao and Xue Tong. This gentleman is brave and martial, and he is one of the few fierce generals in the state. But what Lu Yao and Xue Tong remembered was not his bravery, but his greedy nature of doing everything possible to amass wealth.

When he was ordered to go out of the town, he connived at the wanton looting of his subordinates, and the proceeds of the looting were used to bribe the officials on the one hand, and to share the spoils with his subordinates on the other hand; The people all believed that their subordinates were nominally imperial court soldiers and horses, but in fact they were more vicious and vicious than the most vicious bandits.

The soldiers who knew about this matter were very disdainful of Long Jimeng and the soldiers and bandits he led, and many people successively submitted letters to Ma Teng of Dongying Company to complain about his evil deeds. However, Sima Teng himself and Long Jimeng had the same smell, so instead of punishing them, they became more and more trustworthy. Later, the two actually sold Hu slaves together for profit. Long Jimeng was responsible for sending troops to capture the Hu people, while Sima Teng was responsible for arranging caravans to sell the captured Hu people to various parts of Shandong. The local officials and generals appointed by the imperial court were so embarrassed that people had nothing to say.

The so-called Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, Lu Yao and Xue Tong both respected Long Ji and stayed away from him when they merged with the state army. After experiencing the Daling fiasco, I thought that this person had died in the chaos, but who knew that after the earth turned upside down, he could see it here. Both of them couldn't help but feel like they were hitting ghosts in the daytime.

Lu Yao turned around and went to Shuzuo, who was counting the supplies, to ask. It turned out that after Long Jimeng was defeated last year, he fled all the way north and hid in the mountains and ravines near Yanmen. After hearing the news that Yue Shigong had captured Jinyang, he re-recruited exiles under the banner of General Yokono. In a few months, a large team was organized and came to Jinyang two days ago to serve under the command of Yue Shigong.

After all, this person is a general in the Bingzhou army, no matter what he talks and does, he has something commendable, and he is even more majestic and extraordinary. In addition, because his status and fame are far more than the soldiers and soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who joined before, and he is well aware of the military and civilian situation of the Bingzhou; Therefore, Yue Shigong specially encouraged him and still granted him the original appointment. The more than 1,000 people recruited by Long Jimeng were stationed in Yangyi, and Yue Shigong ordered Yousi to provide supplies and supplements.

Lu Yao had no good impression of this person, so he had to shake his head and sigh.

In the next few days, Lu Yao gave the soldiers a big vacation to let everyone relax. Except for the two o'clock in the morning and evening, they were allowed to walk around Jinyang City the rest of the time.

Although the bulk of the materials seized from Guojiawu Fort have been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Assassin Mansion, the gains after the soldiers broke the city were not small. In the past few days of vacation, they have been very extravagant in terms of food and clothing, which makes the subordinates of other generals jealous.

Fortunately, Yue Shigong quickly distributed the New Year's reward to all armies. Yue Shigong, who was originally embarrassed, had the support of the powerful people of Bingzhou and the rich savings of Guojiawu Fort for decades, just like a poor man who picked up hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing, so this time the reward to the soldiers was extremely generous, so that every soldier who was rewarded was happy.

The soldiers in the troubled times did the work of licking blood with knives, and they had already hung their heads on the waistbands of their trousers, so they usually did not deliberately accumulate money. Except for a small number of family members, the rest of the soldiers spent their rewards lavishly, and went to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. The few liquor shops and merchants in Jinyang City made a small fortune as a result.

Unlike the elation of the soldiers, in the last half month of the year, many powerful families in Taiyuan were not very steady. Many people are thinking about what to do next.

Lu Yao's team successfully completed the plan of killing chickens and monkeys, not only bringing sufficient grain and materials to Jinyang, but also enriching Jinyang City with the population that was enveloped. And this sudden and swift blow deeply shocked the giants in the state who were watching. In the following days, it was Wen Qiao's turn to be busy, and he traveled back and forth with various parts of Taiyuan Kingdom, meeting with those clan patriarchs and Wubao lords one by one, knowing them with affection, moving with reason, and seducing them with fame and fortune. He was originally from a wealthy family in Taiyuan, and his eloquence and demeanor were excellent, and with the counterexample of Guo's Wubao in Qi County, everywhere he went, he was unexpectedly unfavorable.

Of course, it is not without ignorance of the situation. There is a dock fort in Yangqu, perhaps because he has not seen the hot hands of the official army with his own eyes, so he is disrespectful and refuses to accept it.

This time, Liu Kun did not let Lu Yao dispatch, but sent Ding Miao to deal with it. Ding Miao is a well-known warrior, although he is kind and kind, he is simply not a human temper. He swung his army and stormed the dock fort, and he went down with a drum; Immediately, all the men in the fort were directly beheaded, and the women were confiscated into the prostitution camp. Only two days later, he returned to pay the order with pride.

In the case of the Hu people, the Han people used brutal means to kill each other, which really made Lu Yao's heart ache; But he also had to admit that this kind of extremely cruel behavior was very deterrent to the double-minded wealthy family. If this is not the case, I am afraid it will be difficult to unify the entire Taiyuan Kingdom in the shortest possible time.

After such an action, the situation in Taiyuan was new. Liu Kun's decree was carried out, and the thirteen counties did not obey it. In just half a month, almost all the representatives of the wealthy clans in Bingzhou came to Jinyang to meet the new assassin Shi, in addition to offering materials and household registration yellow books, they also delivered a number of dingkou to enrich Jinyang, and sent protons according to the order.

In addition, Liu Kun also recruited many people from the state to enrich the shogunate. Among them, Xu Xian, Mo Han, Wang Ju, Wang Dan and others are all celebrities in the state, and Liu Kun appointed them to engage. Continue the Xianzi filial piety, Shangdang; He was a disciple of Du Pre, the general who led the army to destroy Wu in the past, and was good at "Spring and Autumn" and Yi Xue, and was familiar with the law of criminal names, and once served as the Taishou of Dong'an. Mo Han is a native of Yanmen, whose family has been in business for generations, relying on trade with the Xianbei people to obtain a huge fortune, and is quite prestigious in the local area. And Wang Ju and Wang Dan are the sons of everyone, not to mention the generational crown.

The military strength of the Jinyang Army has also expanded in the past half a month, and hundreds of people have come to join the army every day. The total number of troops quickly increased from more than 5,000 to nearly 10,000.

A significant portion of the additional troops came from the remnants of the state army. After all, the original Bingzhou army is a famous strong domain in the world, with 50,000 horses, in addition to being killed and captured by the Huns, a considerable number of stragglers are distributed in various places, and the prestige of the new Bingzhou Assassin Shi Yue Shigong is there, and they have defected to him. On the other hand, the official position of the Hun Zhonglang General led by Liu Kun did have some effect, and many Zahu tribes took the initiative to defect to his command. Liu Kun placed them one by one in Xinxing, Yanmen and other places, gave them official positions and treasures, and selected thousands of them to join the army.

People with a little discerning in the world can clearly see that a new and powerful regime is being reborn from the ruins of Jinyang City. The foothold and growth of this regime undoubtedly represents that the strength of the Han people in Bingzhou is still enough to confront the Xiongnu, and it also represents that the prestige of the Great Jin court is not extinguished because of a rout, and the court is still determined to maintain local stability!

What made Lu Yao extremely happy was that among the new recruits to join the army, there was also his old subordinate Guo Huan. Guo Huan is a native of Xinxing County, and he is also a distant relative of the Guo family in Taiyuan. He was good at spears and was quite famous in the state army. When Lu Yao first entered the state, Guo Huan followed Lu Yao, and he was a capable subordinate who was deeply relied on by Lu Yao. After the fiasco of Daling a few months ago, Lu Yao led his army to fight and retreat, and Guo Huan was ordered to break off in a fierce battle, and he has been missing since then. Lu Yao thought that he had died in battle, but who knew that there would be a day of reunion, he was really overjoyed. There were more than ten strong men who came with Guo Huan, most of whom were officers above the rank of commander under Lu Yao, among whom Fei Cen, Xu Mu, Yang Ruo and others were all Lu Yao's capable subordinates.

Lu Yao's subordinates had expanded to more than 800 people at this time. He set up three infantry teams, each with 200 people, led by Xue Tong, Gao Xiang, and Guo Huan; The fifty cavalry members are still led by Shen Jin; In addition, there are more than 80 people in Deng Gang's baggage team and a number of vehicles; Lu Yao led 100 personal soldiers, and also marched the law, these 100 personal soldiers are all warriors who can ride fierce horses and drive hard bows, and they are also the elite of the whole army. Two more scholars were recruited from among the homeless people as scholars.

It is worth mentioning that He Yun was removed from the position of captain of the pro-soldier and appointed as the commander of Guo Huan's subordinates. This was undoubtedly a major blow to He Yun, but he also knew very well that this was a punishment for his collusion with Gao Xiang and Shen Jin in Guo's Dock Fort, and there was nothing to justify. The new commander of the pro-army is Chu Kun, and Lu Yao is quite optimistic about this simple young officer, and intends to reuse him.
