Qin Lang's method of recruiting talents similar to kidnapping, although it is not very appropriate, it solves Ning Ze's most troublesome problem now.

With these talents joining, it is enough to manage Wuduo County, and at least there are people in the most important position.

Of course their loyalty is very low, which is a big trouble.

In this situation, it is still difficult to keep.

Fortunately, Ning Ze had systematic help, so he rewarded each with one month's salary on the grounds of welcoming several talents to join the management of Wuduo County.

The loyalty of Qin Lang and Liao Jian increased by 5 to 9 points each after receiving the reward.

Next, just ask them to do more and then give rewards. It is not a problem to raise their loyalty to eighty or ninety points in a short period of time.

Anyway, if you take down Wuduo County, it is not a problem to mobilize the money in the official warehouse.

In the following days, we did use the reward function to smoothly improve these officials who were forced to become officials in this way.

At noon that day, a spy suddenly came to report that Liang Teng led the team back.

Ning Ze immediately took people out to greet him, and was a little surprised when he saw it.

It turned out that Liang Teng was the leader, and the entire army was covered in dust and looked quite embarrassed.

"Premier Liang, what's going on?" Ning Ze asked in confusion.

Liang Teng's expression was not very good: "Yang Ying was really cunning! Our army chased us near Maoshan and fought with Yang Ran's army for several days. Yang Ran's army had no food, his morale was dispersed, and he was unable to retreat. He chased us to the north of Maoshan. When I saw music shaking in the dense forest, I saw a faint flame that appeared. I was worried that the enemy would use fire tactics, so I changed the way to pursue from Fuling. Unexpectedly, the dense forest in the northern Maoshan was only suspicious of soldiers. Yang Ying waited for our army to completely enter the Fuling grassland and ordered people to set fire. The fire spread in the Qianli grassland and our army was defeated. Yang Ran took the opportunity to take away the food truck. After losing the food and grass, he had to bring his troops back to replenish supplies. When I reorganize my troops and prepare enough food and grass, I will never let him run away this time!"

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and the prefect Liang does not need to blame himself." After Ning Ze learned about the situation, he opened the virtual map and took a look and said to Liang Teng, "Yang Ran is just lingering and is not worth worrying. Go back to the city first to rest for a day. Yang Ran will definitely attack Turhuhe County if he gets military rations. If he wants to capture Turhuhe County, it will not be so fast. I will go to war with the prefect tomorrow, so he will have nowhere to escape!"

So Liang Teng led the army to the city for rest and recuperation, and Ning Ze asked the Cao Cao Cao Officer Shi Zhujun to prepare military rations.

It is shown on the virtual map that Yang Ranjun indeed went to Turhe County and was preparing to capture the city.

At present, Jujun, Bajun and Turhe County are all headless. In a chaotic situation, no one can stop Yang Ran. Of course, if you just defend the city, you can probably persist until your own army arrives.

The next day, Liang Teng and Zhu Jun handed over military rations and immediately summoned troops to prepare for the expedition.

Ning Ze told Qin Lang that he would manage Wuduo County well, and the most important thing was to recruit talents.

Afterwards, he left Wuduo County City with Liang Teng and led a large army to Turhu.

During this period, I traveled through mountains and rivers without stopping.

When they were about to arrive in Turhe County, Ningze found an abnormal movement of the army on the virtual map. Yang Ranjun, who was attacking Turhe County, turned around for some reason, and actually left Turhe County and advanced towards Ba County.

Could it be that the other party had thought that the army from his side had arrived, and because they could not quickly capture Turhe County, they temporarily changed their targets and avoided themselves?

Should I tell Liang Teng and ask him to order the army to turn and go directly to Bajun to intercept it?

Then I thought about it, chasing Yang Ran is the second priority, and taking the opportunity to win the three counties is the main goal.

It is close to Turhe County, and the city's garrison will not be too strong.

They can block Yang Ran, but they may not be wary of themselves. After all, the soldiers of Huajun are united with the other party to fight against Yang Ran. As long as they deceive the city gate, they can quickly control the city. With the fact that there is no leader, Turhu County is easy to master.

It was too late to take down Turhe and send troops to pursue Yang Ran.

Therefore, Liang Teng was not reminded to continue to follow the army.

When Yang Ran's army came to Turhe County, Liang Teng immediately said: "It seems that Yang Ran's army will turn to Ba County in advance, and our army should pursue it immediately!"

"The Prefect Liang does not need to be in a hurry." Ning Ze told him, "It is not too late to take down Turhe County first, and then to Ba County. You can send an envoy to Turhe County first, informing reinforcements that they will arrive, and they need to rest outside the city. The other party must not set up defenses. When they open the city gate, they will immediately attack and take it down!"

"This move seems to undermine the lord's name of benevolence and righteousness?" Liang Teng asked worriedly.

After all, it is a very unkind behavior to take the opportunity to capture the city of allies.

"It's okay! Just declare to the outside world that Turhu He learned that his lord is kind and righteous, and because the prefect was killed, he surrendered to his lord to protect his revenge." Ning Ze said.

So the envoy took a step forward and rushed to Turhe County with a quick horse.

Liang Teng and Ning Ze led the army and continued to advance.

The army arrived in Turhe County and saw the city gates wide open from afar and the flags of sheng were waving.

The civil and military officials in the city came out to greet each other, and the drums and drums were particularly lively.

This situation is unexpected. Even if reinforcements arrive, the welcome level is too exaggerated.

Ning Ze and Liang Teng looked at each other. In this situation, they were really embarrassed to lead troops to attack the city, so they stepped forward to see the situation first.

When he arrived at the city, he saw dozens of civil servants and generals lined up opposite him. When he saw Liang Teng and Ning Ze arrived, he dismounted one after another.

A middle general bowed and shouted: "Welcome to Military Advisor Ning, Prefect Liang!"

The civil and military officials shouted in unison and saluted at the same time.

Liang Teng turned to Ning Ze in confusion and asked with his eyes what was going on.

Ning Ze also looked confused and looked at these civil and military officials carefully, and suddenly fell on the leader.

I didn't notice just now that the man was wearing general's armor and couldn't see clearly when he lowered his head. However, when his personal attributes appeared, it was quite surprising: "Song Gao?"

The general raised his head and it was indeed Song Gao himself. How could he run to Turhe County? He became the leader of these civil and military officials in just a few days?

On that day, Song Gao was captured by the bandits and thought he would definitely die. Ning Ze sent someone to search for it for a long time, but there was no news. He never thought that he would appear in Turhu County.

Song Gao quickly stepped forward and took out a large seal from his arms: "I heard that the military advisor led his troops to come, and the city was excited. This is the large seal of Turhe Prefect, and all the generals are willing to submit."

Ning Ze took over the seal and was a little confused about the situation, but at first glance, it turned out that the forces belonging to those civil and military officials were marked by Liu Yuanxiang's army.

I planned to take the opportunity to take the Turhu County, but I was ready to seize the city by force. Who would have thought that the other party would surrender voluntarily, which completely saved this step.

He bent down and took the seal from Master Song. Ning Ze asked in a low voice: "You were kidnapped by the bandits. My military advisor sent people to search everywhere, but found nothing. Why did he come to Turhe County? What's going on with this seal?"

"Military advisor, it's a long story!" Song Gao replied, "Please follow Xiaguan into the city and report to you slowly!"

So Ning Ze led a large army into the city under the leadership of civil and military officials of Turhe County.

The city has prepared a banquet to welcome Ningze and Liang Teng.

After the banquet, Song Gao invited Ning Ze to the inner hall and left the left and right.

Ning Ze immediately asked, "What's going on? How can you survive by the bandits? Why did you come to Turhe County and let the civil and military officials in the city surrender sincerely."

"Report to the military advisor!" Song Gao replied, "That day, Xiaguan thought he was dead, and was taken away by the bandit. He was extremely desperate. Because the bandit was frightened, he led Xiaguan and the bandit to run for dozens of miles, and finally fell out of strength. The bandit wanted to take Xiaguan back, and drink water from the middle of the way, Xiaguan jumped into the river to escape. The bandit chased all the way, and the officials escaped everywhere in order to survive. Later, they hid in the pile of corpses and escaped. After the bandit left, Xiaguan was hungry and thirsty, so he wanted to find some food. During this period, a tiger-patterned jade pendant with a missing horn was found on the corpse of a large official, and he was greedy and carried it on his body..."

"Corpsy?"

"It's another battlefield. Xiaguan didn't know who those people were. It was not until he got lost and accidentally hit him. He had to take a boat down the river. When he arrived in Turhe County, he realized that the tiger-patterned jade pendant was a thing of Turhe Prefect Lu Wen. What he saw before was Turhe Prefect Lu Wen and his subordinates."

Ning Ze frowned when he heard this: "I ordered people to bury the bodies of Lu Wen and others later. Did you pass by there before?"

"That's true!" Song Gao replied, "Xiaoguan wanted to come back, but he was hung on the horse by the bandit for a long time. He was dizzy and could not tell the direction, and he was lost. If it weren't for the kind-hearted boatman picking him up, he would have died in the mountains and forests long ago."

"So you were taken to Turhe County after getting lost? But why did the civil and military officials of Turhe County listen to you and actually surrender?"

"Report to the military advisor, they were afraid of being beaten by Yang Ran!" Song Gao said, "Although Yang Ran's army left temporarily, everyone was worried that he would come over at any time. Because Prefect Lu and Deputy General Lu were both killed by Yang Ran because of the death of Yang Ran, the civil and military officials in the city hated Yang Ran. And because Jiang Sheng killed Prefect Lu, the generals were also hostile to the Jiang family in Jujun. Now Yang Ran seems to have gone to attack Ba County, and Ba County cannot protect itself. In such a situation, he is isolated and helpless, so the subordinate advised him and successfully persuaded the generals to surrender to our army!"

"Why do they listen to you?" Ning Ze asked with a frown.

He knew very well about Liu Yuanxiang's situation. The possibility of civil and military officials in Turhuhe County voluntarily surrendering was slim, and even he could not imagine it himself. How did Song Gao persuade the other party and make them willingly surrender?"

Seeing him ask, Song Gao whispered: "Report to the military advisor, everything is God's will!"

“How to say it?”

"The Xiaguan arrived in Turhe County and wanted to find a military advisor." Song Gao said, "but he was penniless and had only a piece of tiger-patterned jade pendant. At that time, he wanted to take the tiger-patterned jade pendant as some money and sell a good horse. Who would have thought that the pawnshop in the city was the Lu family's property. The Xiaguan had just taken out the tiger-patterned jade pendant and didn't say a word. The shopkeeper immediately asked me to go to the inner hall and asked what the prefect had ordered. The Xiaguan didn't know how to answer, and did not dare to say that he would use the jade pendant as a good horse. Later, the third lady of the Lu family arrived and asked after the question.
