As the State County of Guandong started to fight at the same time, the military and political officials from all over the country gathered in the Chinese jujube, causing the defense to be empty. In a short period of time, all kinds of people started to gather and rebel. The number of people who had gathered to take down the stronghold was innumerable. The smaller the stronghold, the thousands the bigger the stronghold, the bigger the stronghold, the more greedy officials were killed, the more they occupied the mountains and became kings or robbers and robbers, and the situation became more and more intense, as if a prairie fire was set on the land.

Ever since Yang Lin's cavalry of Youzhou entered the Jizhou, the Army of Montenegro had been hiding within the Five Elements Mountain, not daring to lightly clash with Yang Lin's cavalry of Youzhou. Although Yang Lin had openly recruited Army of Montenegro several times, the Army of Montenegro that was led by Zhang Yan turned a deaf ear. And Yang Lin's cavalry was not suitable for the battle in the mountains, both sides were in a deadlock.

Due to the Imperial Court's unrest, the officials were too busy trying to suppress Dong Zhuo. Zhang Yan and the others thought that Yang Lin's target was the Luoyang, and since they felt that their threat was gone, they started to become eager to give it a try. Especially since the harvests were not enough for the Army of Montenegro to eat, he started to take risks and leave the mountain.

In the beginning, they only operated in the surrounding hills around the Five Elements Mountain, attacking the landlords and wealthy families in the hills, gradually becoming more and more overbearing towards the plain zone. Finally, they attacked and plundered the cities, burnt down the government offices, and looted the cities. to cause people to flee and the land to become barren.

Although the cavalry of Youzhou guarding along the Five Elements Mountain constantly attacked, they still started to play guerrilla warfare with the cavalry of Youzhou. They never fought head-on with the cavalry of Youzhou. As long as the cavalry of Youzhou moved, they would flee back to the Five Elements Mountain. Once the cavalry of Youzhou left, they would go down the mountain to rob them.

These Army of Montenegro were large and small, with a few tens of different groups. Among them, the more famous ones included Black Mountain, Yellow Dragon, Left Class, Guo Daxian, Chen Lin, Yu Digen, Zhang Baijun, Liu Shan,, Da Hong, Si Li, Lei Gongzi, Fu Yun, Zhang Yan, Li Damu, Li Damu,, Wang Dang, Yang Feng and the others.

The emergency report s that were calling the police from various places flew over like snow, leaving Yang Lin unable to catch up. Yang Lin deeply felt that Army of Montenegro, who was born in the xanthopanax, had already learned the lesson of xanthopanax's failure.

Yang Lin was very clear that the original history of the Army of Montenegro was such that they took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and made their rounds between the dukes, moving more than ten miles away from the Jizhou and the Union State. This had severely affected Yuan Shao's reunification of the northern part of China, causing him to be unable to care about the Central Plains.

If Yang Lin did not want the tragedy to repeat itself, he had to solve the problem of the Army of Montenegro as soon as possible and unite the north of China before Cao Cao could unite the Central Plains. But now that the Army of Montenegro had become a bandit, and the difficulty of exterminating them had increased, what could they do to chase them out of the Five Elements Mountain?

"Lord General, Mr. Hua Xin has brought Han Rong, Chen Ji and the others here."

Just then, Diao Chan walked in, smiled at Yang Lin and said softly. After Diao Chan became Yang Lin's personal guard, of course, her beautiful face which was like the moon and flowers was revealed. Yang Lin had unrestrainedly accepted her as his personal attendant.

"Oh …" "Let's hurry and welcome them." ""

Ever since Yuan Shao killed Yin Xiu, Hu Muban, Wu Xiu, and Wang Gui, Hua Xin resolutely decided to keep Han Rong, Chen Ji and the others in the Hanoi County.

These fellows were all scholars in the day. Regardless of whether Yang Lin liked them or not, he had to act like a courteous and virtuous person, making these scholars like him. He also had to establish a good reputation for him among the scholars in the entire country, in order to strengthen his soft power.

"Greetings, gentlemen." Yang Lin ran out of the Big Account, and before Han Rong and Chen Ji could react, Yang Lin had already cupped his fists, and deeply bowed to the two of them: "I have heard of the two mister's name for a long time, I have always wanted to ask for your advice. Unexpectedly, the two of you gentlemen actually came to the camp, Yang Lin is truly fortunate in three lives. "

Han Rong, Chen Ji just came over from Huaixian, they wanted to meet with Hua Xin at first, but did not expect that Yang Lin was so young, so humble. The vanity of the two old fellows was greatly gratified, even to the point of feeling that those who knew had died.

"hussar general is too polite."

Han Rong and Chen Ji also quickly returned the greeting, with joy in their words. No matter what, the hussar general was the court courtier, especially in the Han Dynasty. The title of general was even more honorable, and the hussar general was an official rank that was only second to the Great General.

Yang Lin chatted with them for a while and invited them into the Big Account. Yang Lin once again thanked the two big scholars for coming to cavalry of Youzhou. It was as if they had specially come to look for Yang Lin. After chatting for a while, they unknowingly talked about the Army of Montenegro.

"Seniors, the Army of Montenegro is currently filled with dozens of large and small groups that are hidden deep within the Five Elements Mountain. They often come out of the mountains to rob and burn down the officials and commoners of the County. They would seize the opportunity to make their move, snatch it, and run. They would never fight head on with our army. The Five Elements Mountain rose from the north, connected to the south to the Yellow River, extended for a thousand miles, had lofty mountains and lofty mountains, caves and forests, and was connected to the outside world only by the birdway. Cars and horses should not be driven for long periods of time, and food and foodstuffs should not be provided in time. The official army pounced, and the bandits scattered like birds into the deep forest. The army exhausted themselves every day, but they could not catch a few bandits, so even if my cavalry of Youzhou had thousands of troops and horses, it was still impossible to guard against them. Do the gentlemen have a good plan? "

"Since ancient times, there have been many thieves and bandits, but most of them have been guarded by the dense forest deep in the mountains. They were cunning and intertwined. A large part of the army retreated deep into the mountains to avoid the storm, while a small part of the army won the battle. "Now that the imperial court has been destroyed, the world is in chaos. The heroes are everywhere, and those ambitious are all gathered in the forest. They all want to get a share of the chaos."

Speaking of which, Han Rong was a little sad. As a scholar of the times, he certainly understood that the time for change was right now. The world had risen to greatness, it was the time when heroes used martial arts, how could the Army of Montenegro be willing to be lonely and entrap himself in the mountains?

"The reason the Army of Montenegro is like a fish in the water, able to advance and retreat freely is because the people around the Five Elements Mountain are poor and miserable. If the people did not fear death, how could they fear death? In order to completely eliminate the Army of Montenegro of the Five Elements Mountain, the only way is to suppress their armies and intimidate the bandits, at the same time, save the victims, give the people hope so that they can cut off their sources of troops and their eyes and ears, and trap the Army of Montenegro within the Five Elements Mountain. "

Yang Lin slowly stood up and walked a few steps inside the Big Account, his mind gradually becoming clearer. said that it would take a long time before people could enjoy a better life. As long as they had hope for a better life, they would not collude with bandits and inform them about it.

However, this was only the good wishes of a monk. A man's base character was not something that could be changed through noble moral teachings, and strict rules and regulations were necessary to restrain his actions. In this chaotic world, people relied on swords and spears.

Yang Lin immediately thought of the fact that ever since he had taken charge of the Youzhou, he had always neglected the construction of grass-roots organizations. As there were no villains in Youzhou, this problem was not obvious. But now that the Jizhou and the Union State were in a critical situation, they needed to create an effective organization.

A system? This is a kind of social rule which has been extended for a long time by the feudal dynasties since the Song Dynasty, which is beneficial to the ruler to control the countryside strictly. However, it was also an anti-social, anti-democratic system that not only restricted the freedom of the people, but also served as a tool for bad people to do evil.

Autonomous Grassroots Commission? Obviously not. According to the experience of democratic elections, small scale elections, such as at the village and township levels, are often accompanied by clan forces, bribery, violence, and other ugly phenomena. On the contrary, a wide range of elections, such as county, county, state, or even the entire country, is much more civilized.

Yang Lin stopped and returned to his seat. He cupped his hands towards Han Rong and said, "Mr. Han Rong's words have enlightened me. Our government office is built in the county town, the decree cannot reach the village, and the village and village level are mostly ruled by the gentry, no one is responsible for it, leaving the countryside empty. I want to reform the village at the two levels. The county government will send special personnel to every township, every village to act as county officials, country officers, village officers, village officers, village officers, village officials, village officials, village officials and village prime ministers to handle government affairs for the people. The village officers and village officers will be responsible for training the militia, and the village Cao and village Cao will be responsible for mediating the disputes between the people. With these people in every corner of the village, we will be able to grasp the movements of the Army of Montenegro at any time. "

"Lord General, this method is really good. We can not only manage the villagers, but also investigate the bandits and train the militia to resist the small group of bandits." Chen Ji frowned, his expression turning ugly: "But since it's like this, how many officials are there in each county?

"Hehe …" Mr. Chen Ji, do you know how many yamen runners and soldiers there are in each county? " Since Yang Lin had already thought of this idea, he naturally thought of the source of these officials: "In order to guard against Army of Montenegro, every county has more than three thousand county soldiers, and more than a hundred yamen runners. If the Army of Montenegro did not go down the mountain to attack the city, these people would have nothing to do. "Therefore, these basic officials are to be chosen from the county soldiers and yamen runners."

"Oh …" That's doable! " Chen Ji nodded, and continued: "Lord General, other than sending officials to the village, I have something else to say. Now that the world was in chaos, if he wanted to exterminate the bandits, he would have to use a grand ceremony. He had to be strict with the officials, and he had to suppress the bandits. It was better to lose than to lose because of the severity of the situation. All robbers and robbers killed by looting or burning shall be put to death, and those who kill or catch robbers and robbers shall be given a heavy punishment, as well as bandits and accomplices. "We have to make the people around Five Elements Mountain pale in comparison. They don't dare to have any dealings with bandits, much less become bandits."

"Sir Chen Ji's words are reasonable!" Yang Lin never thought that the refined and refined Chen Ji would actually have such a vicious side to him. Everyone said that the Confucian school ruled the country with virtue, but in truth, the hand that the scholars used to kill was not any weaker than the wannabe. The only difference was that after killing the wannabe cultivators, they did not know to shirk their responsibility. After killing the Scholars, they would come up with twelve thousand reasons to kill.

"The Lord General, whether it is sending officials to the villages or severely punishing the bandits, although they can effectively suppress the bandits, the Army of Montenegro is now at the end of their road. In order to survive, even if they have to risk their lives, they still have to come down the mountain to rob. I can say with certainty that this autumn's harvest time, the Army of Montenegro will go all out to frantically rob us. "

Hua Xin did not say a word. His meaning was obvious, although a long-term peace method was good, there was no time to delay the reality of the situation. He looked at Yang Lin, and said with a serious expression.
