The food and grass donated by the counties along the way was enough to support the army of 3,000 people. At this time, Zhao Fu had other ideas.

"Wen Cao (Yang Ji's name), now the road from Yelang to Yulin is smooth, and the counties along the way seem to hope that we can manage it. It is better to beg General Annan to send two more troops to come!"

In fact, it was not just Zhao Wei, but Yang Ji also had the same idea. If the personnel losses were not large during this trip, the food, grass and goods they received could make a profit for the Nanzhong army!

Moreover, Bushan is the capital of Yulin County. He took down Bushan and left a thousand soldiers to garrison. As long as the interests of all major tribes are guaranteed and fairly managed, with Yang Ji's ability, Yulin can be changed into ownership in just ten months!

You can reach Cangwu Guangxin on the Yulin River, or you can reach Hepu on the south!

Moreover, if Mi Zhao recovered Jiaozhi at the same time, then they could attack Hepu in two ways!

Yang Ji, who received Zhao Wei's support, did not delay and immediately wrote a letter to Huo Yi, and was preparing to come to Bushan!

Zhongliu County was crucial, so Yang Ji arranged for his confidant Li Song to lead a hundred people to guard the army, and at the same time recruited surrender and rebels, and the troops quickly expanded to two thousand!

The magistrate of Zhongliu who has already voted for Yang Ji is so active

"General, give me the task of subduing Bushan. Just write a letter to General Xuanming, and the prefect will definitely open the city to surrender!"

The two did not object and asked the envoy to come to Bushan with the forged letter of Wu State and the letter of persuasion of surrender from the magistrate of Zhongliu County.

At this moment, the prefect Yulin in Bushan learned about the letter from the State of Wu and the letter from the magistrate of Zhongliu County, and was discussing with the county magistrate.

"There are only a few hundred soldiers left in the county. How can we resist the Han army?"

"The Han army has the letter of Wu. Since we are in charge of the righteousness of the Wu Kingdom, we should follow the arrangements of the Han army!"

What the county magistrate said makes sense, but the prefect grasped the loophole in his words, and he said questioningly

"Wu State's Letter? It's hard to say whether it is true or false!"

In fact, the county magistrate also understood what the prefect said, and officials in the county all knew it, but they had to pretend to be confused in the face of major events!

So an official said

"Would you send a messenger to ask about the situation of the court?"

He cleverly kicked the problem to the prefect and also tentatively tested the prefect's idea.

At this time, the prefect Yu Lin was Lu Rui, the youngest son of Lu Ji. He took office at the beginning of the year and was considered an airborne.

In fact, there were also knowledgeable people in the court who found out the abnormal movements of Jiaozhou, such as Xue Xi, who nominated Lu Rui as the prefect of Yulin. After all, Lu Rui's father Lu Ji had some reputation in Yulin.

However, they could not have thought that although Lu Ji was literary and outstanding in filial piety, he was not very outstanding in governance.

Many people in Bushan County still remember him, after all, the construction of the county town was due to Lu Ji's contribution.

Moreover, the local climate is hot and dysentery is prevalent. In order to improve this situation, he ordered people to build wells nearby to reduce the spread of epidemics, and to be considered as a benevolent government.

Lu Ji himself liked this place very much, and even named Lu Rui's sister Lu Yusheng, so Bushan, Alin and other counties still supported him openly.

However, when Jiaozhi and Luxing were in chaos, this superficial peace was gone!

Facing the county magistrate's question, Lu Rui withstood the pressure and answered as expected.

"Of course we have to report it to the court. Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, it is definitely correct to report it to the court!"

In fact, I think it’s all about using my butt to know that the Chinese Book is fake!

Although Yulin and Hepu were in chaos, Cangwu and the South China Sea were still peaceful on the surface. Although it was impossible to send troops to rescue, it should be no problem to let the imperial messenger pass!

The imperial court did not send anyone to inform the letter of nationality to ask for help, how could it be true?

However, since the Han army had taken this banner, the big clans who pretended to be confused in Yulin County had reason to believe it, which was equivalent to giving them a reason for separatism!

Even if the Han army ran to Cangwu and the South China Sea, it would be possible to launch a rebellion in the entire Jiaozhou!

When the county officials saw Lu Rui reply, they immediately said

"The prefect's words are reasonable!"

"If the Han army came to Bushan, how should we deal with it?"

Seeing the government office closed and there were county soldiers on duty outside, Lu Rui sighed in his heart.

The officials in the county stared at him together, and Lu Rui didn't know what these people meant!

He sneered in his heart, but had to make a statement, so he paused and said

"If the Han army can ensure that we are not affected, we will provide food, grass and goods!"

After expressing his opinion, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Lu Rui could feel that the bodies of the people next to him were obviously not so tense.

Then add

"If the court told us that the letter of the country is true, we will be loyal and loyal, and I will definitely seek credit for everyone!"

"If the letter of state is fake, as long as the county town has not changed hands and Yushui is still under our control, there will be no mistake!"

Sure enough, Lu Rui's statement was unanimously recognized by the officials in the county.

"The prefect is wise!"

"I see that the Han army is not guilty of Tanzhong, Wu'an, Guilin and other counties that actively provide food and grass equipment. We just need to follow their example!"

"With the prefect here, I will definitely protect Yu Lin Wuyou!"

After Lu Rui endured the disgust and heard these people's flattery, the county magistrate asked another question.

"This trip will communicate with the Han army, so leave it to the servant!"

“…”

That’s all, what else can Lu Rui do? He only regrets that he has fewer teams!

...

The next day, Yang Ji received the report

"General, Yulin County Magistrate is here!"

When Yang Ji saw that, he said, "What a guy, County Magistrate Yulin came to comfort him with his wealth, goods and supplies!"

This guy lost his voice and was in pain when he saw Yang Ji.

"The general is here, Yu Lin will be peaceful!"

"The general is here, there will be it in the sky!"

It’s all about saying that it has a nose and eyes, and it’s still full of tears!

"I'd like to ask the general to decide for me. Although Bushan County is under the jurisdiction of Yulin County, its troops are concentrated in the northern lieutenant of Pingshan County, Hepu County!"

"The soldiers of Zhongliu County did evil deeds and colluded with Yinping County and Linpu County to rebel, separate us from the Northern Captain. We also asked the general to attack Yinping quickly, join with the three thousand soldiers of the Northern Captain to scatter Yulin and Hepu together!"

The county magistrate said this with great scheming, telling Yangji County that there were three thousand soldiers from the northern lieutenant, and they had already provided food and supplies. If the Han army still wanted to attack Bushan, they would probably be retaliated by the northern lieutenant!

At the same time, he also reminded him that if he really wants to quell the rebellion, then go to the Northern Captain! Don’t bother them anyway!

Zhao Wei heard the implicit meaning of the county magistrate, but he didn't care, he just smiled and said

"Since that's the case, please ask the prefect to write me a letter, Yan Ming is loyal to the Wu Kingdom and will not betray him. Only then will we believe him!"

The county magistrate was stunned when he heard this. What is the operation?

Did he hear it wrong? Or did these people really help Wu to quell the rebellion?

After hesitating for a moment, the county magistrate decided to ask

"The general said that he was loyal to the 'Wu Kingdom'?"

"good!"

The county magistrate who received the affirmative reply returned to the county without saying a word.

"What, ask me to write a letter to prove my loyalty to the court?"

Lu Rui was confused. What did he mean? Why would the county magistrate explain to him!

The county magistrate pretended to be confused

"This is a good thing. The prefect, they must be the reinforcements invited by the court without any worries!"

"And there is nothing wrong with the prefect who wrote this letter!"

Although Lu Rui was puzzled, the County Magistrate said nothing, and he did not suffer any losses after writing this letter!

So he immediately picked up his pen and wrote a brilliant letter.

Zhao Wei received the letter and was very happy and said to Yang Ji happily.

"A general just needs to wait, and I can recover Yinping without bloodshed!"

Given the mistakes left in the past, Zhao Wei wanted to regain his face, but Yang Ji seemed to know his thoughts clearly.

"Did Shuhe want to imitate the handwriting of Prefect Yu Lin?"

Zhao Wei didn't hide it and said his thoughts.

"Yes, according to the situation, Yinping County is the same as Zhongliu! He is loyal to the Wu Kingdom and does not believe us!"

"Now with the letter from the prefect Yu Lin and the magistrate of Zhongliu County, we should be able to easily earn Yinping!"

It's not bad for Yang Ji, but Zhao Wei seemed to have a bolder idea, and he said
