Da Qiao often comes to the General's Mansion, and most of the time he spends talking and singing with Zhang Rui and Diao Chan. Sometimes the two girls are not there, and Chen Chu is here again. Da Qiao will ask Chen Chu for poems and lyrics, which makes Chen Chu particularly distressed. Fortunately, Chen Chu read a lot of Tang and Song lyrics in his previous life, and he can still deal with the excessive demands of Da Qiao. Chen Chu's "learning and literary talent" deeply attracted Da Qiao. Before he knew it, the distance between the two became closer.

The four states under Chen Chu's control have calmed down on the surface, but in fact they are operating at high speed.

In order to stabilize the situation of newly occupied Yanzhou, the food and grass raised from the people are being continuously transported to Yanzhou through Huguan.

The troops recruited from various places are gathering in Bingzhou. These new recruits will receive three months of intensive training in Bingzhou before they will be assigned to various legions.

The Xianbei prisoner camp located near Huguan also made a big move. One hundred thousand Xianbei prisoners were divided into two groups, and the relevant food and fodder were being prepared.

Refugees who fled from all over the country were organized to build villages and reclaim wasteland. In just a few months, thousands of new villages were added and five million acres of arable land was added. However, in a short period of time, Chen Chu could only pay outside, at least until the beginning of next spring, and there would be some gains.

The caravans sent to the south are setting off one after another, with their purpose being to purchase as much food as possible.

All weapons workshops and civilian workshops under the government's government's government's government's government's government's government's government's government's weapons have been fully operational. The weapons and armor produced are stored in the official warehouse, and some of the civilian materials are stored in the warehouse, and most of them are trafficked by caravans to all parts of the country.

Chen Chu is under construction of a highway, and he is accumulating the strength to unify the world.

On the official road from Jiguan to Bingzhou, more than a hundred cavalry were speeding. The leading general was majestic, and the most eye-catching thing was the three-foot beard under his jaw and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was in his hand. This person was no one else, but Guan Yu, the general under the Northern Army who had been in charge of Jiguan for many years.

Guan Yu was very excited at the moment. He was stuck in Jiguan for the past few years. He felt particularly depressed when he watched other brothers fight on the battlefield and make achievements. Now, Chen Chu transferred him from Jiguan, obviously intending to use him. In fact, Guan Yu also knew in his heart that Chen Chu put him in Jiguan for many years, not to underestimate him, but to value him. Although he was so glorious, there must be someone in charge of the core and important places, and this person who is in charge must be both wise and brave, loyal and reliable.

Guan Yu's war horse seemed to feel Guan Yu's mood, and his steps seemed particularly light.

On October 14th, Guan Yu finally arrived in Bingzhou. It only took Guan Yu two days to arrive from Jiguan to Bingzhou.

Someone had already welcomed Guan Yu at the city gate, and Guan Yu went straight to the General's Mansion. When he walked into the General's Mansion, the iron guard guided him all the way, and Guan Yu came to the study room in the backyard.

"Guan Yu pays homage to the lord!" Guan Yu bowed in a loud voice.

Chen Chu quickly came out of the hall to help Guan Yu up and said with some emotion: "Yunchang has been in charge of Jiguan for many years, it is really hard for Yunchang to be the one who has been there!"

After speaking, he took Guan Yu's thick arm and asked him to sit beside him. Although Guan Yu was proud, he valued the most etiquette. How dare he sit on an equal footing with Chen Chuping? He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Guan Yu is different from his lord's humble king, Guan Yu dare not act rashly!"

Chen Chu smiled, patted Guan Yu's arm, and said, "Although you and I are kings and ministers, I am actually like brothers." Then he looked at his eyes and continued, "I remember when the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you and I met in Zhuo County. At that time, Chang Yun led his alone army to defend the city and stood proudly in the face of thousands of troops. What a heroic spirit it was!"

Guan Yu couldn't help but show excitement, clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "I didn't expect that the lord still remembers the past?"

Chen Chu signaled Guan Yu to sit down. This time, Guan Yu did not refuse. Chen Chu smiled and said, "I will never forget these things, and there is also the courage and loyalty of Yun Chang following me in the battles in the south and the north!"

"Lord!" Guan Yu was quite moved.

Chen Chu poured a glass of wine for Guan Yu, and Guan Yu respectfully took it and drank it all.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "Do you feel wronged when Yun Chang stays in Jiguan?"

Guan Yu clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "I...

Knowing that the lord valued me, he arranged for me to station my army in Jiguan to take charge of Guanzhong!"

Chen Chu showed relief, nodded, and said, "The situation was tense a few years ago, so I had to leave Yunchang Gate Army at Jiguan to support the four directions. Now the situation is different. Our army has controlled the four prefectures and has subdued the Xianbei in the north. It has severely defeated the princes of the Central Plains several times. Yunchang no longer has to station troops at Jiguan!"

Guan Yu showed excitement and bowed to one knee: "Guan Yu respects the lord's order!"

Chen Chu smiled, helped Guan Yu up, signaled Guan Yu to sit down again, and then continued: "Our army will add two new legions, does Chief Yun know?"

Guan Yu nodded and said, "I have heard from Zijing."

Chen Chu nodded, his eyes fixed on Guan Yu's face, and said, "I decided to let you train and command these two legions."

Guan Yu was startled, then happy, and was overjoyed. He quickly bowed to Chen Chu and said, "Thank you lord! Yu Dao will live up to his lord's trust!"

The training and command power of the two newly formed legions to Guan Yu is not in line with the usual practice of the Northern Army. The general practice of the Northern Army is that when the army is not in a state of war, the army is trained and taught by the officers directly under Chen Chu. In a state of war, the control of the army will be handed over to the general. The purpose of this is to make the entire army loyal to only one person.

Chen Chu did this carefully. First of all, the daily teaching of the "gents" has proven to be very effective for the soldiers. In addition, keeping the generals and the commanded troops together is beneficial for the generals to better command the army.

Let Guan Yu train and command these two legions just start. Chen Chu plans to transform all the troops in the future. After this step is completed, the work of training is to train and teach the troops, and compile the training outline. The teaching troops and training outline will be used as role models and guidance materials for training all armies in the future.

After talking to Guan Yu for a while, Chen Chu took Guan Yu to the stable in the backyard of the General's Mansion.

As the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, Chen Chu certainly did not have ordinary horses in his stable. Guan Yu followed Chen Chu and looked at the horses in the stable with one out of a hundred horses. His eyes were very bright, which was a bit similar to what Zhang Rui saw when he saw something he liked. Haha, no wonder, how could Guan Yu, as a military general, not like horses?

When he arrived at the innermost independent horse house, Guan Yu opened his eyes and flashed with a look of surprise. In front of Guan Yu, he saw a divine horse with a dark and shiny body. This divine horse was the purple lightning and eclipse Zhenchen seized by Chen Chu from Cao Cao's private horse farm.

Seeing Guan Yu's expression, Chen Chu couldn't help but smile and asked, "How about Yun Chang look at this horse?"

Guan Yu nodded heavily and exclaimed: "What a divine horse that is invisible!"

Chen Chu looked at Juechen who was actually proud of his sniff and said lightly: "This horse is called Juechen, and it will be Yunchang's mount in the future!"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered from all over the country were arranged by Zhou Yu to several camps outside Bingzhou City. As the 200,000 new soldiers who formed the Sixth Seventh Army, were arranged in the Beida Camp.

After Guan Yu left the General's Mansion, he stayed in Beidaying for 24 hours a day, eating and living with the soldiers. Although Guan Yu loved soldiers like his sons and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, he was very strict during daily training. If any military soldiers were cowardly or violated military rules, he would punish him mercilessly. The training department sent a "Mr." and instructor to assist Guan Yu in training the army.

The war born in Yanzhou has long calmed down, but the war in Xuzhou is still burning in full swing. The situation in Xuzhou is more critical than before.

The main force of Xuzhou led by Liu Bei fought with Yuan Shu's 200,000 troops under Xuzhou City. At this moment, Liu Bei's army, which suffered heavy losses, had retreated to Pei County. There were less than 20,000 soldiers left in Xuzhou City. Fortunately, Xuzhou City is high and the river is wide, and Yuan Shu is difficult to capture Xuzhou for a while...

Worried about the situation in Xuzhou, Tao Qian, who was already very old, is even older now.

The dim lights were beating in the hall, and the strategists and generals stood under the hall with heavy faces. Tao Qian on the main seat frowned and seemed worried.

After a long silence, Tao Qian suddenly said, "Yuan Shu has sent an envoy. Do you think I should hand over Xuzhou to Yuan Shu?" Tao Qian seemed to be moved.

Everyone immediately discussed it. Mi Zhu clasped his fists to Tao Qian and said, "Yuan Shu is greedy and tyrannical. If Xuzhou is handed over to him, the people will suffer!" Chen Deng immediately agreed, and everyone expressed the same opinion.

Tao Qian couldn't help but feel troubled, "If Xuzhou is not handed over, when will this war be stopped? Besides, Yuan Shu's 200,000 troops opposite us will lose sooner or later!"

Mi Zhu had long thought about Tao Qian’s troubles, and Mi Zhu said: “We are not Yuan Shu’s opponents, but we can ask for reinforcements!”

"who?"
