Ruzhou Town, originally the territory of Wu Yuanji, the governor of Huainan of the Tang Dynasty, was captured by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. After Zhang Hua conquered the peasant uprising army of Rushui, it became Zhang Hua's territory.

Zhang Hua established Ruzhou County, and Du Mu was appointed as the county magistrate.

Ruzhou County initially had only a population of 100,000. Du Mu recruited refugees to calm the people and launched a large-scale military farming. After a period of operation, the population of Ruzhou County increased to about 200,000, and the population of Ruzhou Town was 60,000.

Du Mu personally led the farmers to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land outside Ruzhou Town.

"Sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn. Food is the most important thing for people, and farming cannot be delayed at any time."

Du Mu wore a straw hat and drove an old ox covered in soil to pull the plow and plow the land.

If no one pointed it out, it would be difficult to associate the person in front of him with the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu.

The county magistrate set an example, and the morale of the farmers in Ruzhou Town was high, and they were even more motivated to wave their hoes.

Du Mu came to the chaotic times and felt the difficulties of people's livelihood. Therefore, Du Mu cherished the people's strength and set an example as much as possible in everything to convince everyone.

Originally, Du Mu believed that the taxes in Ruzhou Town were heavy and wanted to write a letter to propose to reduce the burden on the people, but Du Mu thought that the world was not peaceful yet, and if there was not enough tax to maintain a strong force, it would not be able to provide shelter for the people, and these people would be displaced, so he gave up.

"Mr. County Magistrate, there is a remnant soldier entering the territory of our Ruzhou County!"

"How many people do they have? Does it have any origin?"

"Hundreds of people, they claimed to be the Ming army defeated by the Eight Banners, and the head general was named Yu Qian."

"Take me to see them."

Du Mu knew that Yu Qian and his group came to surrender, which was a major matter that must be dealt with first and could not be delayed.

...

Chaoge City, Wu Jie, Wang Ping, and Ling Tong led three military generals to the garrison, Wudang's flying army and entered the Taihang Mountains overnight.

Wu Jie conquered the city and occupied the land under the name of the Heishan Army.

Zhang Hua was able to check the hero attributes of the three guest generals in Chaoge City.

【Hero】: Lu Ju

【Level】: 47

[Commander]: 72 [Military power]: 71 [Intellect]: 70 [Politics]: 51

[Talent]: Hydrology (Lu Ju can perceive various changes and movements of rivers through true qi)

【Experience in Army】: Water Division

[Series]: Wu Kingdom Archer (second-level troops, talented "water battle")

[Article]: The son of Lu Fan, the Grand Marshal of Wu, was appointed as General of the Cavalry.

"Lu Ju's talent is unexpectedly practical. It seems that there are many famous generals in the late Three Kingdoms period, but I just didn't pay attention to it."

When Zhang Hua saw Lu Ju's talent "hydrology", he realized that this was a talent that seemed indirect, but might be quite practical, especially during water wars. If he could accurately grasp the hydrological conditions of high tides, low tides, reefs, etc., he could create a miracle of winning with less.

Zhang Huangyan's talent is "water training". It accelerates the formation of the navy. Cooperating with Lu Ju's talent "hydrology" is enough to engage in a water battle.

In the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms, the second generation and the third generation were basically a duel. These second generations were taught by their parents and fought for many years, so their abilities were pretty good.

Among the second generation of military generals of the Wu Kingdom, Zhuge Ke was one of the best.

【Hero】: Zhuge Ke

【Level】: 50

[Commander]: 80 [Military power]: 67 [Intellect]: 93 [Politics]: 85

[First Talent]: Soul Out of Body (Zhuge Ke can be sentient to heaven and man, enter the state of soul out of body, so as to see the entire battlefield, the longer the time it takes to maintain the state of soul out of body, the greater the burden on the spirit)

[Second Talent]: Caijie (Zhuge Ke can consume true energy and speed up the brain's processing and response to information in a short period of time. The faster the speed, the greater the burden on the spirit)

【Special Army】: None

[Article]: Zhuge Jin's son, a general of the State of Wu, with a noble character.

"hiss……"

When Zhang Hua saw Zhuge Ke's heroic attributes, he was surprised by Zhuge Ke's natural powerful talents and abilities.

Zhuge Ke's intelligence of up to 93 may be higher than his father Zhuge Jin, and he is second only to Zhuge Liang in the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Ke's talent for leaving the body is undoubtedly quite practical, and he can obtain half a God's perspective on the battlefield.

Although it takes a short time to maintain half of God's perspective, only the generals who fought on the battlefield understand how important the vision is.

If you lose your vision, the main general is like a blind man, and the orders issued are likely to lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

Zhuge Ke also has the ability to process information quickly and cooperate with the spiritual talent of leaving the body. Zhuge Ke can quickly process the information he sees, come up with countermeasures and issue orders as quickly as possible.

Zhuge Ke is a first-class candidate for counselors.

The premise is that Zhuge Ke can overcome his arrogant personality.

Otherwise, personality defects will lead to Zhuge Ke's failure.

"It seems that we still have to polish Zhuge Ke well in the future. We will sharpen a sword for ten years."

Zhang Hua was determined to cultivate Zhuge Ke.

Zhuge Ke's various abilities and talents show that this is a good seedling.

If you can cultivate it, it is naturally the best.

If it doesn't work, then it can only be said that this is Zhuge Ke's fate.

"Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao, dares to confront Gan Ning's general head-on. Ling Tong's force is unexpectedly high!"

Zhang Hua was secretly surprised when he saw Ling Tong's heroic attributes.

【Hero】: Ling Tong

【Level】: 34

[Commander]: 71 [Military Power]: 92 [Intellect]: 65 [Politics]: 51

[Talent]: full of passion (the longer the time Ling Tong continues to fight, the more he is addicted to the war, the strength and speed continue to increase until the enemy falls, or his own physical strength is exhausted)

[Special Army]: Three Hundred Dead Warriors (Eighth-level Army, the 300 Jiangdong Dead Warriors who rescued Sun Quan in Xiaoyaojin, and the life and death brothers who slept with Ling Tong. They have dual talents - "water battle", "living and death together": Ling Tong and the 300 Dead Warriors can share the true energy in each other's bodies, and can also share the damage they suffer, and in the true sense, live and die together)

[Article]: The son of Ling Cao, a fierce general from Jiangdong, and one of the twelve tiger ministers on Jiangbiao.

...

Ling Tong's military power value reached 92 points, the same as Zhou Tai.

Although Ling Tong does not have the perverted self-healing ability as Zhou Tai, Ling Tong is the kind of general who is unwilling to admit defeat and becomes stronger the more he fights.

Zhang Hua estimated that Zhou Tai and Ling Tong fought for life and death, and it would be difficult to decide the outcome.

Moreover, Ling Tong also has eighth-level special military "Three Hundred Dead Soldiers".

Ling Tong and Zhuge Ke were both outstanding second-generation generals in the Three Kingdoms.

"Ling Tong is a good thug, but unfortunately the commander is not worth a lot. It would be good to let Ling Tong and Wu Jie and Wang Ping go to experience it."

Zhang Hua knew that Sun Ce also saw Ling Tong's amazing martial arts talent, so he recommended Ling Tong to Zhang Hua.

"Among the heroes of Taihang Mountain, there are many heroes from various dynasties. They join forces to resist the army of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. The difficulty of eliminating the heroes of Taihang Mountain is no less than that of unified Guanzhong. Wu Jie, Wang Ping, Ling Tong, and the three of them may fall into a hard battle. Their first phase goal is to gain a foothold in Taihang Mountain."

Zhang Hua already knows the situation of the heroes in the Taihang Mountains.

Some of these heroes are not easy to deal with.

Some of the princes entrenched in the mountains were originally competing for Hebei with Liu Xiu. After defeat, they chose to avoid the sharpness of the son of the plane and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

Until the last moment, these ambitious heroes will not give up easily in the world.

A hero who dares to wrestle Liu Xiu's arm is naturally difficult to deal with.

"It's all up to their fortune. Xie Ai, you go and serve as Wu Jie's military advisor."

Zhang Hua arranged for the white-clothed counselor Xie Ai to serve as Wu Jie's military advisor.

Xie Ai, a strategist from the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, was a talented person.

After Zhang Hua appointed Wang Shouren as military advisor, Xie Ai had little room to play around Zhang Hua.

But if Xie Ai followed Wu Jie to lead the army independently and attacked the heroes of the Taihang Mountains, then Xie Ai must have room to display his talents.

"The subordinates will never let down their expectations. They will play chess with the heroes and famous generals in the world, and they will never be able to find it."

Xie Ai was wearing a white dress and a white hat, sitting in a carriage, and followed Wu Jie into the Taihang Mountains.

"This expedition, there are three thousand people, and I don't know what the cause can be made. However, even if the three thousand garrison arrows are lost and the flying army is not the only one, it will not shake the foundation of the country."

Zhang Hua looked at Xie Ai's carriage and left, thinking about something.

After he assigned three thousand troops to Wu Jie, Xie Ai, Wang Ping and Ling Tong, the troops were basically in a state of stocking.

If Wu Jie, Xie Ai and others could create a piece of territory in Taihang Mountains, Zhang Hua would send additional troops. If the entire army was wiped out, as long as these generals came back alive, Zhang Hua's forces would not be damaged by this.

As for how big territory Wu Jie could capture, it was left to fate.

As Zhang Hua's territory expanded, the front line became longer and longer.
