Chapter 298 [Demon], Dian Wei!

"Wen Ze, what level of craftsman is needed to make the exclusive set?" Chang Yin asked when Lin Mu was checking the territory funds.

"The set is yellow-level, and it can be made by expert craftsmen."

"That's great, Yuan Jian, after the meeting, go down and set up a [Qinghu Armament Department] to mobilize a certain number of expert craftsmen and above, and give them the illustrations directly to create sets to meet the needs of military construction!" Lin Mu instructed after he came back to his senses.

The territory's funds are only one aspect. The 60 million gold coins are not just money, but also other resources are included, so the territory can still cast a certain number of sets.

"Okay, in terms of the army, Fengjin is in charge of training, Yuanjian is in charge of logistics, and Yu Jin, Zang Ba, Li Dian, and Liu Feng are in charge of the commanders. Our military force has officially set sail!"

"Then, the next question is whether we need to go on the expedition!"

"My Lord, since you are the Sima of a separate department in Dongye County, the rules of heaven and earth only recognize the merits of 50,000 soldiers. So, are you going to draw new soldiers from the territory, or go to Liu Feng and He Yuan to draw them?" Feng Zhong turned his head and asked intently.

"No, I won't draw new soldiers. The current batch of new soldiers has high qualifications and great potential, but they lack combat experience. If they go to the cruel battlefield all of a sudden, I'm afraid there will be heavy losses. I plan to go to He Yuan's command and draw his troops. In addition, I also plan to let He Yuan become the deputy commander of the Qinghu Corps to assist Wen Ze. Xuan Gao is just a temporary position."

"Draw He Yuan's troops? What about the strategy for the northern city?" Li Dian, who was not planning to travel, asked in confusion.

"Mancheng, you don't know yet. Late last night, news came from the front line that He Yuan had already captured Yan County and Yin County, starting from Juzhang City!" Feng Zhong laughed.

That's right, Lin Mu also received a system prompt last night, and the merits and points of the two cities were recorded.

Moreover, Lin Mu learned through Qiankun Zimushu that it was so smooth because a big family in Yan County rebelled against Xu Zhao and directly offered Yan County and Yin County to He Yuan!

Now Liu Feng may still be on the way to Houguan City, and He Yuan has already conquered the two cities. So, the competition between Liu Feng and He Yuan was won by He Yuan in an instant!

The soul symbol of the third-rate historical general belongs to He Yuan!

This big family also wanted to visit Lin Mu, the master behind the scenes, but unfortunately was directly rejected by He Yuan.

At this time, the situation is unclear and the changes are too big, so you need to be careful.

Thinking of the information about this big family from the Night Shadow Department, Lin Mu was silent for a while.

"Zhongli family! Zhongli Xu, Zhongli Mu... Zhongli Xu is the [Lower Ship Commander] under Xu Zhao, and his son Zhongli Mu is the county magistrate of Yan County. They are both in high positions, so why are they so unloyal to Xu Zhao? They actually rebelled against him... Are they just pretending to be loyal, or are they recognizing the situation?" Lin Mu thought.

...

"Since the five coastal cities are going better than expected, my lord, can't we bring more soldiers? Is it feasible for us to directly advertise that we only have 50,000 elite soldiers?" Zang Ba asked in a rough voice with doubt on his face.

"No, my lord's political status is not high enough, his position is low, and his connections in Longting have not been built up yet. If the enemy catches us, there will be trouble!" Li Dian objected softly.

"That's right, now we are facing giants such as Xu Zhao and Taiping Dao. Xu Zhao may not be a problem at present, but Taiping Dao cannot be ignored." Lin Mu pressed his hand and said calmly.

"The Taiping Dao has been operating in secret for many years and is deeply rooted. There should be many ministers in the Dragon Court who have been bribed by them. Maybe they have other shackles, but they cannot be underestimated on such principled issues. Our Great Wilderness Territory is located in a remote corner and is protected by a mysterious existence. The Dragon Court and the Taiping Dao may not know our secrets, but if they deal with us politically, they will definitely disrupt our layout!" Lin Mu said calmly.

"So our current political strategy is: be cautious!" Lin Mu said this low-key strategy without feeling frustrated.

The people around him also nodded in agreement. Being cautious is only temporary.

To be honest, if the Taiping Dao had not taken the initiative to cause trouble, Lin Mu would not have provoked this super power. In that case, he could develop openly and even use it to bribe senior officials and obtain a high position!

Now that they are on the opposite side, there must be obstacles. It is wise to be cautious.

"However, on the battlefield, we must make great achievements, and seek high positions with our achievements. Only in this way can we deter the Taiping Dao to a certain extent and prevent them from dealing with us easily."

"This time, the Xu Zhao Rebellion is an opportunity. Our secret organization has been deployed in important cities in Kuaiji County. After we participate in the battle, we must win important achievements in one fell swoop, so that we can have the opportunity to seek political status." Feng Zhong said.

"Yes, there are fewer people in this expedition, but we are going to lead a unit alone, not joining Sun Jian's unit in the north, nor Cao Cao's unit and Wang Lang's unit in the west."

"This time, we will first take a boat to Yin County City, take the county magistrate seals of Juzhang County, Yan County, Yin County, Dongye County, and Houguan County, and use this as evidence to meet with the governor of Yangzhou to seek status. What do you think is the best position for us to seek?" Although Lin Mu had a draft in his mind, he also wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

"Let's make him the magistrate of Dongye County. This is our base camp. This way, the lord can officially enter the Dragon Court official system and share the Dragon Court's fortune!" Chang Yin suggested. His decision was the most direct.

"Let's be the county magistrate of Yan County. It is the largest and richest city on the coast, which will be of great help to future development." Li Dian had a detailed understanding of the five coastal cities, so he suggested.

"Sima of the other department of Kuaiji County!" Yu Jin and Feng Zhong said at the same time.

They laughed when they heard each other's words, and felt that heroes think alike.

"Why did Wen Ze and Feng Jin suggest this?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"Because the lord is not the kind of person who can settle down in one place. To become a county magistrate, you need to guard a city and govern a place. This is a shackle for the lord. At the same time, the identity of Sima of the other department of the county, although it is a false title, can lead 200,000 soldiers of the other department!" Feng Zhong understood Lin Mu and smiled.

"That's right, the lord can hold an idle position, such as Sima of the other department, General of Bandit Suppression, General of the Side, General of the Assistant, General of the Rebellion, and other miscellaneous generals." Yu Jin added.

Miscellaneous generals are a general term for relatively idle and fictitious military positions in the mythological world, and can be held concurrently!

The Sima of the Special Department of Kuaiji County can make Lin Mu equal to Sun Jian and Cao Cao, because they also reached this level in the war. Those officials of the Councillor and the County Lieutenant are less effective in the army.

"Okay, this time, the merit of the five cities will earn me the position of Sima of the Special Department of Kuaiji County!" Lin Mu made the final decision.

After that, everyone discussed how to march and capture those places after the expedition.

...

Seven days later, at noon, when the sun was shining, the capital of Yangzhou, Shouchun City, was in the teleportation array.

A burst of white light suddenly appeared, and after the white light disappeared, Lin Mu and his party appeared in the teleportation array.

Lin Mu was the leader, and Yu Jin, Zang Ba, He Yuan, Yun Wu, and Cui Wu followed.

They were all military generals, mighty and heroic.

"After Yin County was captured by us, this magical teleportation array belonged to the court camp, and it could be teleported to other cities in the camp! It's really convenient." Yun Wu sighed softly.

Yun Wu rarely takes the teleportation array, so he can't help but feel a little emotional.

"It's convenient, but it's a bit expensive. One person costs one gold for one teleportation!" Cui Wu, the leader of the personal guard, muttered softly.

When the others heard their words, they all laughed.

"Let's go, hire a carriage and rush to the governor's mansion!" Lin Mu smiled and said directly.

For Lin Mu, Yangzhou [Governor's Mansion], which is the [Prefect's Mansion] in the later period, is a familiar place.

Everyone kept a low profile in the carriage shop near the teleportation, hired a large carriage, and rushed to the city center.

"This Shouchun City is indeed worthy of being the center of the state. It is prosperous and prosperous, and the people seem to live and work in peace and contentment." He Yuan, who was sitting in the window on the left side of the carriage, exclaimed.

"This is crowded with people, with developed business, wearing luxurious brocade clothes, and there are many dignitaries and nobles following behind them!" Zang Ba sat in the window on the other side of the carriage, raised his head slightly, and pointed to the nobles on the street.

"Compared to here, our Wenyuan Town is really like a small village in the countryside!" Cui Wu said with a chuckle, but he did not feel inferior to Wenyuan Town at all. Instead, he had great confidence in it. He had always had confidence in Lin Mu.

Lin Mu and Yu Jin sat in the middle of the back of the carriage, and also looked at the prosperous streets through the window indifferently, but they were not amazed.

Lin Mu and Yu Jin were knowledgeable and had seen the capital Luoyang, not to mention the center of a state.

Under the constant exclamation of Yun Wu, Cui Wu and others, the group came to the governor's mansion.

"Dear warriors, the governor's mansion has arrived. 500 copper coins are a sincere discount!" The cautious driver said respectfully along the way.

This group of people, whose destination is the governor's mansion, must have a high status and need respect.

Lin Mu did not say much, and directly gave the money to the driver and sent him away.

"Wow, this governor's mansion is really magnificent. This vermilion lacquered mansion door is two feet long and wide! The carvings on it are also exquisite, like a work of art!" Yun Wu exclaimed immediately when he saw the governor's mansion.

"The mansion is deep and the courtyards are deep, the pavilions are towering, and the guards are mighty and powerful. It is quite impressive!" He Yuan said softly.

Today, Yun Wu and other people who have not seen much of the world have more exclamations than before.

When Lin Mu got off the carriage and was about to go up the stairs to hand the visiting card to the guard, another group of people appeared on the side. Judging from their posture, it seemed that they also wanted to hand in the visiting card and meet the governor.

There were three people in total, dressed as military generals, and like Lin Mu and his men, they were also heroic and extraordinary.

A surge of aura suddenly appeared, and Lin Mu, who was slightly sensitive, turned around and looked at these military generals. Yu Jin and others beside him also felt it and turned around to look.

Seeing these military generals, Lin Mu's pupils shrank rapidly, his hands trembled slightly, and his right hand holding the visiting card exerted a little force, and it turned a little white!

"Dian Wei, Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhou Cang!" Lin Mu's heart was shocked by a huge wave.

[Demon God], Dian Wei!

[Yellow Turban Army General], Cheng Yuanzhi!

[The Yellow Turban Army’s Great Leader], Zhou Cang!
