The person was called Chen Wei and showed the seal of Cai Yong. After Liu Yan verified the authenticity, everyone was relieved.
Chen Wei told everyone about Emperor Ling's reward, and Lin Chuan finally understood why he had addressed him as General Lin.
The Dangkou General was indeed a general of a mixed name, but after all, he had made a name for himself. Moreover, his achievements would also be publicized in the four seas. In this way, it was equivalent to advertising himself, and it would be much more convenient to recruit talents from all over the world in the future.
Of course, Liu Bei also got the official position he wanted. He was a military lieutenant, and according to his official position, he had 5,000 men under his command. However, the Imperial Court naturally would not give him a single soldier. Even so, he was extremely happy.
"General Lin, in addition, my lord still has some superstitions that he wants me to spread.”
After Chen Wei said that, he looked around at everyone in the hall. He meant that only Lin Chuan could hear the content.
"Oh, since that's the case, let's leave first.”
Liu Yan did not mind at all, but Liu Bei was a little unhappy. He was a relative of the Han clan. Was there anything he could not listen to?
It was useless. If you didn't leave, they wouldn't say anything. Liu Bei finally pulled Guan Zhang away gloomily.
"These two are my trusted aides.”
Lin Chuan was naturally referring to Pei Yuanqing and Zhao Yun. Chen Wei nodded and said in a low voice,
"General, the Han Dynasty is in danger now. There are Yellow Turban wars inside and foreign races invading the territory outside.
Now, within Changshe, the three Yellow Turban leaders had gathered an army of 100,000. Once Changshe was lost, Yingchuan and even the entire Yuzhou would be in danger.
Cai Yong specially asked the general to think of the world and rush to Changshe to help my old friends Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song destroy the Yellow Turban rebellion. Cai Yong would certainly be grateful for the general's great kindness.”
On the surface, Cai Yong was trying to persuade Lin Chuan to resolve the crisis of Changshe, but in reality, he was helping Cai Yong and the others to preserve the group of people loyal to the Spirit Monarch.
At present, although the forces in the capital and Luoyang were complicated, there were only three main forces. The first was the eunuchs led by Zhang Rang, one of the Ten Generals. The second was the private warlords led by He Jin. The third was this group of old officials who were loyal to the royal family.
Even though the mainstream forces were these three, Zhang Rang was favored and his words carried weight in front of Liu Hong. It could be considered as another way of using the emperor to command the vassals.
He Jin had the military's deployment rights, so his strength was naturally needless to say.
In comparison, this group of old Imperial Party officials could be said to be the meat on the chopping board. Under such a background, roping in the newly risen forces and preserving the original forces became the most important thing.
"Tell Cai Yong that I will lead the army to Changshe in a few days.”
"In that case, I thank General on behalf of Milord.”
After receiving Lin Chuan's promise, Chen Wei left respectfully.
In fact, even if Cai Yong didn't say it, Lin Chuan's next goal was to go to Changshe.
Changshe had gathered 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers at this time. How many fragments of soldiers and generals were there? He didn't dare to think about it.
More importantly, Yingchuan Academy was nearby. How many strategists in the Three Kingdoms came from there? Guo Jia, Xun Yu, who was a genius, Xi Zhicai, who died young, Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing, and Xu Shu, who was a schemer…
If Lin Chuan wanted to truly rise up in this chaotic world, it was not enough to rely solely on generals. Internal affairs and military strategists were also indispensable.
Considering that the white-robed army still had injured people, Lin Chuan was not in a hurry to set off. After resting for a few days, he gathered his troops and prepared to set off with the grain and money he had seized.
On this day, the commoners spontaneously came to the south gate to send Lin Chuan off. Many poor commoners brought their own rations to Lin Chuan to express their gratitude, but they were all rejected by Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was short of food and money, so he would not take the food to survive from their mouths.
Liu Yan also brought the people from the prefect's residence to send Lin Chuan off.
"Brother, you are now a general, and your future is immeasurable. I hope brother will remember that no matter when, the gates of Zhuo County will always be open for you.”
Liu Yan said emotionally and toasted Lin Chuan.
Behind him, thousands of guards shouted in unison,"
"I will always wait for General Lin to return home!”
Zou Jing, who was at the side, wanted to say something but hesitated. He was burning with anxiety.
Of course, Lin Chuan knew what he was thinking. After pondering for a while, he said,
"Lord Liu, Lin Chuan has a presumptuous request.”
"Brother, feel free to speak."
Liu Yan was sincerely grateful and admired Lin Chuan. As for his request, he would definitely not refuse if he could do it.
"I think Zou Jing is a talent. Why don't you follow me and make some contributions in this chaotic world? I wonder if Lord Liu is willing to part with his treasures?”
Although Zou Jing was only a second-rate general, he was loyal and capable. Lin Chuan naturally didn't want to waste his time.
"Zou Jing, are you willing to go with General Lin?”
"Thank you, sir, for your help!"
Zou Jing was as happy as a 200-pound child. How could he not be willing?
"Haha, it seems like you two are heroes who cherish each other. Alright, I wish you all a great future.”
After bidding farewell to everyone, Lin Chuan said to Zou Jing on the way,
"Zou Jing, my six thousand Yellow Turban soldiers haven't been reorganized yet. Their morale, quality, and loyalty are not guaranteed. We can't bring them to the front line.
I order you to bring them to Wuji City and train them every day. You must make them into a ferocious army!”
"I will obey your orders."
Zou Jing felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. Training soldiers was the most boring thing. He thought that he could go to the front line with his lord to kill the enemies.
Moreover, his lord was too good at doing business. If he trained troops elsewhere, he would definitely consume a lot of food.
" Bring them to Wuji City. The Zhen family will be responsible for all the expenses. I suspect you're a profiteer, but I don't have any evidence," Zou Jing thought and shrugged helplessly.
"Haha, no need to be so petty. There will be many battles for you to fight in the future. When have I, Lin Chuan, ever lied to you?”
"I dare not. Please rest assured, my lord.”
" My lord would never lie to me, he just likes to fool me." Zou Jing led the six thousand Yellow Turban soldiers to part ways with Lin Chuan at the fork and headed for Wuji.
"My lord, we have more than 20,000 catties of grain, but the army only has 1,000 people. We don't need that much at all. Why don't we give some to Zou Jing?”
Zhao Yun was a little puzzled. These six thousand people did not bring any rations. He was worried that it would ruin his lord's wisdom.
"Zilong, who told you I only have a thousand people? Don't worry, I still have thousands of soldiers like them. They won't appear until the time is up.”
Lin Chuan had been brewing his plan in his heart. 20,000 catties of grain was far from enough.
Set off, Yingchuan!
