The drizzle is drizzling, and the next is not stopped.

After defeating the Jiaoshan bandits, Chen Sanlang's army continued to set off and headed for Laoshan Prefecture.

When sailing on the Jingjiang River and determining the next plan, Chen Sanlang, Zhou Fencao and others used the Yongzhou map to circle the target location.

There are about three places, and Laoshan Prefecture is one of them.

Chen Sanlang once entered the Laoshan Prefecture and knew that this place was deeply poisoned by the Shura Sect and suffered from the sufferings of life. He didn't know how many Shura forces were still entrenched.

I still feel a little scared when I saw her in Laoshan that day. But to be honest, Chen Sanlang was willing to choose the Shura Sect, so he placed his first stop in Laoshan Mansion. Unless it was extremely unsuitable there, he would be located here.

When he went to Laoshan, Xiaoyao Fudao wanted to see it. The last time he returned to his hometown, he could be said to be in a hurry. When he saw Laoshan being bloody and evil spirits were soaring, he was indignant. But he alone could not control it and had to rely on others to help.

Chen Sanlang is the best helper. The growth of this scholar is simply "terrifying". His ability to write in Zhenjiang and great monsters must give face; he can also charge and kill bandits...

Now facing him, the Taoist priest was unsure at all.

In order to "encourage" Chen Sanlang to become a leader in Laoshan Prefecture, the Taoist priest spent a lot of talk in front of him, mentioning the rich minerals contained in Laoshan.

Laoshan is a famous mountain in the world. It has huge mountains and stretches for thousands of miles. It has many natural resources, such as wood, stone, herbs, etc. The most important one is the iron ore and copper ore mentioned by Taoist priests.

Xiaoyao Fudao grew up in Laoshan since childhood and almost moved all the huge mountain areas. As a practitioner, collecting various special materials to refine elixirs and talismans is a compulsory homework. Those materials are closely related to minerals.

While searching for materials, it is natural to discover the existence of minerals.

However, for Taoist priests at that time, ordinary iron and copper were useless and difficult to discover, so they ignored it.

These mines have been sleeping in the Laoshan area for many years. The Yongzhou governments were too lazy to find development in all dynasties, and they were not gold or silver mines. In the eyes of local officials, they are not valuable.

But in Chen Sanlang's plan, the importance of mineral deposits was self-evident, so after listening to the Taoist priest's words, he immediately asked a team to go to Laoshan Prefecture without thinking.

Laoshan Mansion is not far from Laoshan. Standing on the high-rise buildings in Laoshan Mansion, you can even see the forests on the top of Laoshan Mountain from afar.

When we arrived at our destination, of course we could not live in Laoshan. For this reason, Chen Sanlang also held a meeting with Zhou Fencao and others to discuss specific strategic policies.

At the meeting, Chen Sanlang proposed the idea of ​​directly occupying Laoshan Prefecture.

This idea is quite bold. No matter what, Laoshan Prefecture belongs to a prefecture city. The prefecture city is only one level larger than the county town, but in fact, I don’t know how much it is. Generally, each prefecture city has several county towns under it. In the political field, this is not as simple as addition.

So, can a mere hundred people occupy a city?

It's a bit of a fool's dream...

However, everyone regards Chen Sanlang as the leader and follows the leader. Since it is the idea that Chen Sanlang put forward directly, it is difficult for everyone to argue.

Chen Sanlang then began to analyze the reasons. First, Yongzhou was chaotic, with many forces of all sizes, but as long as there were no large brigade of barbarians, it was not a problem; second, only by occupying Laoshan Prefecture can we build a high-level view and constantly absorb the surrounding forces to join us...

Finally, time is gone, and it is no longer allowed to develop step by step.

"Of course, it's not necessary to conquer the city immediately. After all, it depends on the specific situation there. I have asked Taoist Master Xiaoyao to take action and lead the way to Laoshan Mansion to inquire about the news."

Xiaoyao Fudao's Taoist identity is the most suitable for being a spy. He has extraordinary magical power and does not worry about safety issues. In addition, he is a local, so he has no flaws.

Without waiting for the large army, Xiaoyao Fudao was willing to show off and did it, he didn't have to ride a horse and left at lightning.

When everyone saw this scene, they were amazed and regarded as a god.

After hearing Chen Sanlang's words, everyone agreed and had no dissent. Thinking that this is the case, everyone has come after a lot of hardships and can't farm in a small village. If they have to wait for spring to sow and harvest in autumn, they will not have to wait for everyone to grow old.

If you just occupy a mansion, that is considered heroic.

A real man should do things and make achievements.

Thinking of this, everyone seemed to have seen the arrival of the capital city and become the lord of Laoshan. Just thinking about it, they felt their blood rushing and excited.

Chen Sanlang saw it and nodded secretly:

In Jing County, he was the county magistrate, and the following position was only as few as the county magistrate and the county magistrate. If Chen Sanlang became the prefect, the team he built would of course have to be expanded several times and many positions added.

Having a position means that everyone here may become a prestigious person.

He is a real official.

Having said that, in fact, in the past, Zhou clan Cao was in charge of Jing County, acting as a matter of all major and large in the county, but his identity was just an aide and was not an official at all.

In a county town, there are only three people who can be called officials. Others, such as documents, constables, yamen runners, and other officials, who are just temporary workers without staff.

What is the matter when reading the books of sages?

Perhaps many people have a common answer in their minds, which is to be an official. Of course, there must be many people who are righteous and serve the country and the people, but if they cannot become officials and cannot become high-ranking officials, how can they make decisions for the people and serve the country?

Studying as an official does not conflict with benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Most of the people who followed Chen Sanlang were eager to be an official. Needless to say, Zhou Hezhi was unable to pass the imperial examination and was helpless. Although Zhou Biancao rejected Yuan Wenchang several times, he was unwilling to be with the Yuan family and join the crowd. Even Song Zhiyuan, who had the most indifferent mentality, wanted to be an official. He taught and educated people, and the dean of the academy, and had an official status, but he was just a lot of leisure.

Aspiring to a career and displaying ambitions in one's heart is the wish of scholars all over the world, and it is understandable.

Everyone followed Chen Sanlang at the risk of life and death. If they were just for kindness, they would never last long.

They are flesh and blood and want to make achievements.

Now, the opportunity has come.

Yongzhou fell, and the court stationed troops from Zhongzhou to resist the barbarian army to the north. However, before defeating the barbarian army, it was difficult to send troops to recover Yongzhou. The current situation did not have the ability at all. However, the court did not sit idly by. A while ago, it specially issued an order, calling on the people of Yongzhou to spontaneously organize and form a rebel army to attack and suppress the barbarian army. As long as they have made merits, they will be granted official positions. The greater the achievements, the greater the official position. If Yongzhou can be restored, they can even become the governor of Yongzhou...

This pie is big.

There is no doubt that in dealing with Yongzhou, the court took an extremely clever step. I don’t know which minister came up with the strategy. I guess it was in the distant capital, and there was not as inaction as I imagined.

The court was granted an official in Yongzhou without any substantial salary. All it paid was just a title. Everything else had to be fought for by the parties involved, and they had to continue to fight against the Shura Sect of the Barbarian Army. There was no hope that these rebels could cause severe damage to the Barbarian Army, but as long as they caused a certain amount of harassment and loss, they would be considered successful.

Yongzhou is located between Manzhou and Zhongzhou, and has extraordinary strategic significance. For Shipojun, Yongzhou already belongs to the rear. If someone makes trouble in this area, it will be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Barbarian Army and the rear Barbarian Army, making it difficult for the Barbarian Army to continue.

There are rumors that Shi Pojun is already eager to raise his troops to attack Zhongzhou. From a certain perspective, the barbarian king should have also realized the crisis.

The imperial court's intentions were not obscure, but many people still flocked to it and wanted to join the rebel army.

Because being an official is not the patent wish of scholars, everyone in the world wants to be an official. Whether it is a wild man or a rich man, they cannot escape the attraction of the word "official".

There are too many people, and they are full of fish and are disturbed. In order to make contributions, they do not hesitate to kill innocent people. However, there are natural internal conflicts and struggles between them, but they are all caused by the hearts of the people, so there is no need to say much.

From this, we understand the imperial decree. If we occupy Laoshan Prefecture, Chen Sanlang can apply to become the prefect, and of course the people below will also become successful.

Through the journey, I have encountered several groups of people and forces on the road, but they are all insignificant people. Some of them give in automatically, while others are not good at attacking but are killed...

Anyway, it came over smoothly.
Chapter completed!
