"What an unexpected harvest!"

When the angel sent by the imperial government finished reading the imperial edict, Yang Lin, his subordinates and his aides were all shocked. Even the Zhang Banxian, who had such a thought in her mind, was shocked.

Yang Lin would definitely not let this opportunity slip by. Although he would not want the county soldiers from each county to kill off Zhang Bao, but in order to control the counties, he had to gather the county soldiers from each county. In the future, there would only be the Jizhou Regional Soldiers, and there would no longer be any county soldiers from each county.

Yang Lin immediately gave the order to the various people in the Jizhou to mobilize all the soldiers in the. According to the number of soldiers that each county had, they would gather at least one percent of the total population, which was about six million. Yang Lin estimated that there would be a regular army of over sixty thousand soldiers in the Jizhou.

"Lord General, the seven thousand odd prefectural soldiers of Weixian have all arrived. Please instruct us."

Seeing Yang Lin being so courteous to them, Pan Feng also spoke loudly. Weixian had a total of over seven hundred thousand people, and they mobilized over seven thousand county soldiers according to Yang Lin's orders. These seven thousand odd county soldiers were the elites of the Weixian, soldiers who were good at fighting. Yang Lin was very clear about the situation of the County Officer General and the soldiers in the various counties.

Zhang He and Gao Lan were the two that Yang Lin had asked Weixian,, for. This Han Fu, who had two famous generals under her command, actually had never fought against Yuan Shao before, it was truly pitiful. After Yang Lin took over the position of Jizhou, he immediately started to look for famous generals in the Jizhou. Only now did he realise that Han Fu still had this many generals.

"Zhang He, Gao Guan, listen up and appoint Zhang He as the leader of the infantry, Gao Guan will be the guard leader of the infantry, and will command all the infantry."

Zhang He and Gao Lan were shocked. Although they knew that Yang Lin had asked for Han Fu to send these two people, and that they might be treated well by Yang Lin, they did not expect that Yang Lin would actually let them command the entire Jizhou infantry. The two of them were startled for a moment, and then replied in unison.

"Understood."

These two should be very sensible people. Yang Lin wanted to lift them up and make them follow him stubbornly. As for the Weixian, without the two of them, his fate would probably be much better than the historical Han Fu.

"Go, I will give you three days to organize and train the various counties. After three days, prepare to attack xanthopanax Zhang Bao."

"Understood."

Thirty kilometers south of Qing He City, in Zhang Bao's yellow cloth army camp, although the entire camp was already covered in thick snow, the soldiers of the xanthopanax were still using the time when there was no snow to carry out their drills.

The sound of galloping horses came from afar, causing the defending soldiers to raise their heads. Looking ahead, they saw that it was xanthopanax, raising his spear, as if there was something important going on, the guards for the camp immediately opened the door.

"Reporting..." Human Generals is currently gathering infantry from all over the Jizhou, and has reached the Sixth ten thousand people. Right now, we are training in the cavalry of Youzhou's camp, and will soon attack our camp. "

"Ah …"

Zhang Bao was shocked, with just the cavalry of Youzhou, it was already hard to deal with him. Thinking about it, Zhang Bao could no longer sit still. He immediately summoned his men from his Generals and discussed the countermeasures.

"Generals, Yang Lin has already started to mobilize his troops. It seems that he wants to fight with us in a decisive battle. What plans do the generals have? "

"Human Generals, we should retreat. Right now, the Yellow River has already frozen and is just nice for us to move to the Central Plains."

Yan Zheng had already wanted to leave, he really couldn't figure out if this Zhang Bao's brain was flooded, and had to fight against the cavalry of Youzhou here. In the end, no one could do anything to him, but it gave Yang Lin some time to gather the troops from the various countries, and now, it wouldn't be so easy for the xanthopanax to leave.

"I agree with General Yan Zheng's suggestion. "It's not a long term solution for us to be trapped here. We might as well go to the Central Plains."

Gao Sheng immediately stood up to support Yan Zheng. Although they had previously disagreed about where to go with xanthopanax, they were all very united right now. It was needless to say for and Ren Qian to immediately come out and support Yan Zheng. Their reason was simple, no matter where they went, they just needed to leave the cavalry of Youzhou.

"Human Generals, we also agree to leave immediately. There's no way to stay in Qing He County."

"Hmph, have you thought about it yet? Even if we can go to the Central Plains, can't cavalry of Youzhou go to the Central Plains? Don't forget, they are the original ones. "

Zhang Bao coldly snorted and rolled his eyes at them in dissatisfaction. They all wanted to run, but where could they run to? No matter how fast you run, can you run past the cavalry? Didn't the geniuses of the Ying Chuan and Zhang Mancheng of the Nanyang also get wiped out? Where in the world would they be able to live in peace?

"Human Generals, what should we do?"

"We are definitely going to leave, but we cannot let the cavalry of Youzhou off that easily. Isn't the famous general Huangfu Song very powerful? Didn't we destroy them too? If we don't destroy the cavalry of Youzhou, they will chase us and beat us. So, we need to think of a way to remove and destroy the cavalry of Youzhou. "

Zhang Bao was extremely confident in himself. Even Huangfu Song had been defeated, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Yang Lin. No matter how strong Yang Lin's cavalry was, they only had three ten thousand people s, but he had more than two hundred thousand men. If they really fought, it was unknown who would win.

"Oh, what ingenious plan does Human Generals have?"

Yan Zheng, Gao Sheng, Ren Qian, Qian Lin and a few others were excited and confident. Of course they understood that if they wanted to retreat safely, it would be best if they could exterminate the entire cavalry of Youzhou. Even if they couldn't exterminate them all, crippling the entire cavalry of Youzhou was still a good thing. The few of them gathered together to discuss a plan to eliminate the cavalry of Youzhou.

It was a bright moonlit night, full of gales. By night time, the gales were tired as well, hiding somewhere. The moon quietly ran out, illuminating the entire snowy plain with white light. The Jizhou was bathed in the moonlight, finally calming down.

"Reporting..." Lord General, xanthopanax has been withdrawn. "

"Oh …" Zhang Bao finally could not hold it in anymore? Where did they leave to? "

"Lord General, headed towards the Yellow River."

"Gather all your men and chase after the xanthopanax."

Yang Lin quickly got up from the bed, and as he put on his clothes, he quickly gave out his orders. The emperor had already ordered him to be the Jizhou Thorn History, to command the military and political affairs of the Jizhou. In other words, he had given himself the mission of eliminating Zhang Bao. If Zhang Bao ran away, the officials wouldn't even need to attack him, the Emperor would just immediately withdraw.

"Clank, clank, clank …"

The sound of an emergency gathering of gongs quickly rang out in the cavalry army camp, breaking the silence of the snowy night in an instant. The generals and soldiers who were sleeping soundly got up from their bunks. However, there were too many clothes in the cold winter, and they would not be able to wear them in a short period of time.

When Yang Lin finally finished and walked out of the Big Account, his subordinates, generals and aides were already gathered, and were walking towards his Big Account. He didn't have time to talk to them, so he waved his hand and led them towards the sports field.

On the field, all the cavalry had already been gathered, but the newly formed infantry soldiers were still running towards the field. Yang Lin could not help but frown, it seemed that the infantry soldiers had just been formed and could not quickly adapt to the cavalry of Youzhou's style.

"All cavalrymen, set off immediately!"

Yang Lin could not wait any longer. Waving his hand, he signaled the cavalry soldiers to leave first. In order to completely annihilate Zhang Bao, he had already transferred all the generals and cavalry that he had under him from the Youzhou. Right now, the cavalry of Youzhou was in its most orderly state, without the cooperation of the infantry, he was confident in being able to stop Zhang Bao.

"Zhang He, High Scholar!"

"Here!"

"All of you, bring the infantry and quickly follow!"

"Yes sir!"

Seeing that the cavalry was already far away while his own infantry was still assembling, Zhang He and Gao Guan angrily slashed their way to the ground with their blades, fiercely cursing out loud.

"All of you better f * cking hurry up, or else I will kill you all!"

Although the newly mobilized county soldiers were elites as well, they were, after all, just local officials. Their discipline was lacking by a lot, and upon seeing Zhang He and Gao Lan angered, they quickened their pace. There were also many soldiers who were still wearing their armor as they ran towards the sports field.

By the time Yang Lin's cavalry army reached Zhang Bao's camp, they had already left the camp empty. Not only had they evacuated all the troops, they had also transported away all the food and supplies. Yang Lin could not help but be a little puzzled. In this snow and winter where the sky is covered, Zhang Bao even brought along a large carriage that was used to transport food and supplies. How fast can he walk, is he not afraid of us catching up?

"Chase!"

With a wave of Yang Lin's blade, over thirty thousand cavalrymen traversed past xanthopanax's camp and followed the footprints that Zhang Bao had left behind. It was such a bright night and there was no snow falling. The footprints left by Zhang Bao's team could clearly be seen, especially the tracks left by Zhang Bao's cart.

Following Yang Lin's order, over thirty thousand cavalrymen raised their whips and spurred their horses to chase towards the south, sweeping up snow fog s as they chased after them. The earth-shattering hooves sounds also shook the entire world's moon a few times. However, before he could run 30 miles, he saw exorcism running over.

"Reporting..." Lord General, Zhang Bao's xanthopanax has already ran 50 li away and is currently fleeing towards the Yellow River. "

"Send the order: Hurry up, we must not let Zhang Bao escape across the Yellow River."

Yang Lin knew that the Yellow River had already been frozen. Zhang Bao could easily escape the Yellow River, but he had to stop Zhang Bao before he could reach the Yellow River. Yang Lin was really anxious now, he urged his horse to run, the thirty thousand odd cavalrymen behind him also followed close behind, following closely behind.

Very quickly, Yang Lin brought his cavalry to catch up with Zhang Bao's large group of xanthopanax. What made Yang Lin curious was that Zhang Bao did not run away in a hurry. Instead, he ordered over two hundred thousand xanthopanax s under him to arrange a large array in front of him, as if he was waiting for Yang Lin's arrival.

"Phew …"

Yang Lin bellowed, he raised the big blade in his hand, and the thirty thousand odd cavalry soldiers behind him slowly stopped. Although it was night time, Yang Lin could still see it clearly. Zhang Bao stood calmly in front of the array, with a somewhat complacent look on his face.

"Lord, the terrain is unfavorable for us!"
