Ye Wang and Jing Xin were also very fast. After returning home to clean up, they left Yanmen three days later.

Liu He knew that this was because they were worried that their two "ex-level officials" would continue to live here, which would affect the prestige of Liu He, Cui Jun and others, so they felt very grateful to them.

The New Year was over in a blink of an eye. After spring, the weather gradually warmed up. Qian Li also sent a group of people to assist Liu He in the cultivation of farmland for the people who came to seek refuge in Yanmen.

Just as all the work was in full swing, two great good news spread throughout Yanmen again!

"Haha, I didn't expect that the second and third brothers were about to become fathers, which is really gratifying!"

Liu He looked at Guan Yu and Cheng Liang and couldn't help laughing happily.

It turned out that Zhang Yu took her son this time, and Cheng's wife came to the border to accompany her husband. The so-called "small separation is better than a newlywed", so the three couples naturally felt a bit gentle.

Not long ago, both of Zhang and Su felt a little uncomfortable. After the diagnosis, both of them had been happy for more than a month, which made everyone very happy.

"Hehe, the second and third brothers get married together. I didn't expect that even having children together. In the future, I will have to do this, so that we brothers seem to be united!"

"Go to you, just your kid's virtue, it's amazing that a girl can like you. Let me get married with you, wouldn't that be a bachelor for the rest of my life?"

"Hahaha……"

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang could not withstand everyone's jokes, so they quickly changed the topic.

"Brother, now we are strong and our new troops have started formal training. In just one or two months, it will be enough to form a strong combat power. However, no matter how good the training is, it will not be as effective as the actual combat. Should we find an opportunity and find a partner to fight a battle?"

Liu He stopped teasing and said, "Well, I have thought about this too. It's just that the Xianbei army is rushing to see the water and plants. Now it's hard to find where its main force is in this vast desert."

At this time, Cui Jun came over.

"Haha, lord, Jun has some news. Although it has nothing to do with the Xianbei, maybe you can find someone to practice for our army."

"Oh? Zhouping said it quickly."

Zhouping was the letter from Cui Lie's family that came with Liu He's appointment letter not long ago, and he hoped that he could show his knowledge and stabilize the Han Dynasty's states.

Cui Jun said: "A few days ago, news came from the heroes of the martial arts that Jun contacted us that they had fought with Zhang Niujiao before. Although Zhang Niujiao was captured alive, they escaped another person named Chu Yan. Under the banner of Taiping Road, he gathered in the mountains and forests. There were 30,000 to 40,000 people, and they were in a vague way. They were nicknamed Chu Feiyan. It was after he and Zhang Niujiao that Zhang Niujiao relied on his strength to attack our army again."

Liu He completely understood this time.

"So it's this guy..."

He looked at Cui Jun and asked, "What if this person leaves?"

"A small part of the soldiers Zhang Niujiao brought that time were Chu Yan's troops. In addition, he had a high prestige. After Zhang Niujiao was captured alive by our army, this man raised his arms and shouted, gathering up most of the soldiers who escaped in that battle, and then wandered in the Taihang Mountains between Hebei and the Taihang Mountains, absorbing bandits and bandits from all over the country."

"This person is quite wise, not as stupid as Zhang Niujiao, and he also knows some ways to marching and formation. The imperial government army has repeatedly encircled and suppressed the army, but he was easily defeated. Therefore, his reputation was greatly shocked, and he became a powerful competitor to the Taiping Taoist Master after Zhang Jiao's death, attracting a large number of Yellow Turban Remnants and those who want to use the banner of the Yellow Turban Army to surrender. It is said that now there are no less than 150,000 people."

"hiss……"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"This guy is much better than that horn. It has expanded to such a level in just a while!"

Cui Jun continued: "It's not just that. The small Yellow Turban Army scattered around the world are unable to resist the suppression of the government and are interested in surrendering. I am afraid that in just one or two years, his 150,000 people can still be doubled. He relied on his own strength to run rampant in Jizhou. Not long ago, he even attacked Zhongshan County, killed his prefect, and robbed countless food and property. Even the governor of Jizhou was helpless."

"I didn't expect that if a Chu Yan escaped, he would develop such a big problem in just half a year! The Taiping Taoist church members and the responding people in the world would be more than one million. If one-third of them defected to him, I'm afraid that even General Huangfu might not be able to do anything to him."

As one of Zhang Jiao’s disciples, Tang Zhou was naturally more aware of this.

Zhang Jiao could not defeat Huangfu Song, because he first attacked the extremely strong Luoyang City, and suffered huge losses, and because he only brought more than 100,000 troops.

But Chu Yan is different now. His 150,000 troops are not separated from each other, but are all controlled by him. When the team quickly grows to 300,000 to 400,000, the same must be true.

Even if only half of them are combat-capable, there will be more than 100,000 soldiers and horses by then. It will be extremely difficult to cure him at that time.

"What the military advisor means is to take action with Chu Yan first?"

Cui Jun nodded and said, "My lord is right. Chu Yan is so powerful that he is now enough to threaten a state. If he is allowed to continue to grow and grow, he will definitely become a major trouble for the court, which is even more powerful than Zhang Jiao in the past. It is better to attack for a while before his wings are not yet abundant. First, to weaken his power, and second, to train our new army, so as to prepare for the Xianbei attack again when the harvest in the first quarter of three months later."

"Well... this idea is good. But Chu Yan has always been known for being elusive. Their army is hidden in the mountains and forests. How easy is it to find it?"

Liu He expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, if this matter has not been discovered, how could Jun easily mention it to his lord? Before the New Year, those rangers discovered that Chu Yan's army had appeared in the mountains and forests at the junction of Yanmen and Changshan for many days. Even if there is any transfer, a total of 150,000 troops will definitely not run far!"

After he said this, Cheng Liang couldn't help but become excited.

"Haha, it's great. I haven't worked all over the winter. My old Cheng has been feeling uncomfortable all over, and I just happened to give this guy a gift!"

Liu He frowned: "But it's still inconvenient. If the goal is clear and you can rush over and fight, it won't waste time. If you want to search in the mountains and forests, even if the range is not large, it will inevitably waste a lot of time."

While everyone was frowning, a messenger suddenly ran in.

"Report... lord, two young people came out of the city, dressed as literati, saying they were here to find lord, you and the military advisor."

Liu He and Cui Jun looked at each other.

"Who will be looking for me and wait for the two of you?"

Cui Jun asked the messenger: "Have you ever reported your names?"

"Reporting to the military advisor, they said, one is called Shi Tao and the other is called Meng Jian."

Cui Jun was overjoyed: "It's them both, it's great! Hurry up, invite them in!"

He turned his head and said to Liu He: "Lord, these two are Jun's best friends. They are knowledgeable and have both virtue and talent. When Jun came to join the lord, he went to invite Shi Guangyuan. He failed to make a trip at that time. He didn't expect that he would come with Meng Gongwei today. It was really a great joy!"

This incident also surprised Liu He.

Xu Shu, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian are the "Four Friends of Zhuge". Even though their talents may not be as good as Zhuge Liang, they are also world-class talents. Now that they can gather three of the four friends, how can they not be excited?

"Since he is an old friend of the military advisor, He should go out of the city with the military advisor to greet him!"

He took Cui Jun out of the city quickly, and Guan Yu and others followed.
Chapter completed!
