Yang Lin brought She Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, and Gong Dou to the taiwai Palace. He did not expect that the person who would receive them would be the Cui Xiang of the Shu Province, who was also the brother-in-law of the Zhuoxian County's tyrant, Wang San. Yang Lin and the others caused a huge ruckus in the court of Zhuoxian County, wounding the bailiff and constable of taiwai Palace. He didn't expect that Yang Lin would actually come looking for him today. If he didn't deal with you guys now, when would he?

"Someone, take these criminals down."

In Cui Xiang's eyes, Yang Lin was just a commoner, he only had two coins, to fight against the officials, he was simply overestimating himself. Therefore, when he saw Yang Lin, he was immediately enraged. He did not think much of it and immediately ordered the constables to arrest them.

"Who dares!"

Almost at the same time, He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi and Gong Dou started shouting. Towards this small County, Yang Lin did not care at all.

"Insolent bastard, how dare you roar in court!"

Cui Xiang was angered to the point that he even dared to roar in the court. He suddenly slammed his fist on the wood and bellowed at Yang Lin and the others. Seeing that He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, and Gong Dou were about to rush up to him, Yang Lin stretched out his hands to stop them.

"Before you take us down, you had best inform the Lord Taishang so that you won't lose your head in confusion."

"You still dare to challenge the This Official?"

"Weibo, you? Not worth it. How can a little County like you be able to take responsibility for delaying a bandit's business? I advise you to go and report that the ambitious Yang Lin and your brothers have come to the Lord Taishang to ask for instructions on the great matter of calming down the yellow cloth. "

This time, Cui Xiang was stunned. If he wanted to capture them, those bailiffs would not be his match. If he were to report it to them, he would be truly unwilling and lose face. They said that they wanted to see the taiwai for the sake of being a bandit, and if they delayed it, the Lord Taishang would definitely blame them, and they had no choice but to compromise.

"You guys wait here. I'll deal with you guys later."

Yang Lin did not wait long before he asked the bailiff to invite Yang Lin and the others in. When Yang Lin walked into the taiwai Main Hall, the first thing he saw was Lelang County Imperial Guard Zheng Ping sitting next to him. In the main seat of the Main Hall, there was a middle-aged man dressed in official uniform, which was most likely Lord Taishang Wei You. Beside him sat a tall and sturdy military general. This man's face was pale and one of his arms was dangling; he was obviously injured.

"Greetings, milords."

"You are Yang Lin?"

"How does Lord Taishang know?"

"Hehe, no wonder the Mr. Zheng was praising you, it is indeed a mighty Hero and hero, with such a hero serving the imperial government, the Yellowtowel rebel can easily be destroyed."

"Master, you are too kind. We brothers wish to recruit village heroes and have our orders to rob bandits.

"The imperial government summoned all of the Hero and hero s in the world to raise troops and settle the rebellion. If you want to recruit brave villagers, there is no need to report to the This Official. However, since you've come, you should know your place well. Come come come come come, you already know Mr. Zheng, come over to greet Youzhou Army field officer Zou Jing Zou, and fought a big battle with Guang Yang yellow scarf seriously injured. "

"Zou Jing?"

Yang Lin was familiar with this name, and had heard a lot of people mentioning it recently. He was currently the highest ranked officer of the Youzhou, and could be considered a historical figure. Is he hurt? Defeat! It must be the defeat of Guo Xun and Liu Wei! He was here to call for reinforcements.

Zou Jing was dressed in armor and it looked like he had just arrived at the taiwai Palace. He looked to be in his forties, tall and sturdy, with a thin face and bright eyes. He looked at Yang Lin, and after a moment of hesitation, he nodded lightly.

"Young Master Yang, to be honest, the Youzhou's army and the's army were defeated. Yellowtowel rebel Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao, and Wang Hui had attacked Guangyang and killed both Lord Ci Shi Guo and taiwai Liu Wei. Only I was severely injured and brought over a hundred riders to escape. Originally, he wanted to ask the taiwai of Zhao County for help, but there were only a thousand odd soldiers under him, and he had only just started recruiting village heroes. I heard from Mr. Zheng that your caravan had more than ten thousand elite guards who had survived the bloody battle.

"Lord Zou, the reason why we brothers recruited the righteous and brave was to pacify the citizens, report this to the country and flatter the people. Today, the Yellowtowel rebel has killed officials and officials in Guangyang City. He has harmed the people, how can we brothers sit idly by? "Lord Zou can be at ease, I already have over 10,000 guards. We're preparing to recruit another 5000 people, and we'll be starting the army in a few days."

"Alright, alright, alright. The Young Master Yang has the heart to share his worries for our country. As expected of me, Yan Zhaoyi, a hot-blooded man. However, Young Master Yang, that Yellowtowel rebel has a hundred thousand people and you only have ten thousand, I'm afraid you are a little too weak. Do you have confidence in defeating Yellowtowel rebel? "

"Are you confident?"

Of course I'm sure. If I wasn't sure, would I dare to boast like that? But I can't tell you, and I'll frighten you. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. You should at least express your feelings. I can't help you for nothing.

"Master Zou, the battlefield is ever-changing. There has never been a decisive battle. There was only a sliver of hope, and he would have to fight for it a hundred times more. Furthermore, Guangyang is right next to Zhuang County, so maybe Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao and Wang Ying will attack Zhuang County next. "

Zou Jing's eyes became moist, and his image became larger. He was truly a righteous person, a loyal subject, Zou Jing was so touched that he almost cried tears. He stood up excitedly, cupped his fists, and bowed towards Yang Lin.

"Young Master Yang is truly a man of righteousness. Just to be on the safe side, you should hire more men. From what Mr. Zheng said, you promised to send troops to send him to Leroy County, and I allowed you to recruit 30,000 people in the name of Youzhou Army. However, I can only give you a temporary official position, that is, the commander of the Youzhou Army, if the Young Master Yang attacks Guangyang, exterminating Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, Zhang Ji, Liu Bao, Wang Hui, the This Official will definitely head to the imperial government and request for merit from the Young Master Yang, please bestow the title of Young Master Yang to the imperial government. "

You really aren't on your way, what do I need your help for? What officials? You are just a small Commandant of Youzhou, why would anyone pay attention to you when people talk so softly? If I wanted to become an official, I could just buy it with money. However, as the commander of the Youzhou Army, this official is not bad. In any case, all of the Youzhou Army s have been killed by the xanthopanax.

"Master Zou, you also know that the food in our caravan is privately funded, so it is very difficult to gather food. Now that we have become the Youzhou Army, if we were to eliminate the Yellowtowel rebel and capture him, can we let these captives farm the fields of the Youzhou to help us gather food. "

"Of course."

"That's great. We will immediately start recruiting. We guarantee that we can enter Guangyang City within this month."

When Yang Lin entered the city in the morning, he had already brought along She Yi, He Man, Liu Pi and Gong Dou. These riders were all carrying Youzhou Army's Banner, as they majestically entered Yang Lin's camp.

When the Youzhou Army's Banner was inserted into Yang Lin's camp, the temporary camp immediately became a military camp for the Youzhou's soldiers. According to Zou Jing's orders, Yang Lin immediately called for people to send orders for the ten thousand odd guards to gather. They were ordered by the highest military officer of the Youzhou Army, Zou Jing, to discipline the newly joined Youzhou Army soldiers.

Yang Lin accompanied Zou Jing to the sports field, and met Guan Yu and the other twelve brothers who were practicing martial arts. Their tall and sturdy bodies, and their powerful martial arts immediately attracted Zou Jing's attention. He quickly jumped off his horse and walked towards his brothers.

"Lord Commander, these are my twelve brothers. Brothers, come over here and greet Lord Commander. "

Seeing that Zou Jing was so interested in his own brothers, Yang Lin immediately went forward to introduce him, and emphasized that he was my brothers. He was afraid that Zou Jing would also attack his brothers.

"Greetings Lord Commander."

"Good!" Good! "Good!"

Looking at the twelve tiger generals standing in a row, Zou Jing loudly called out the word 'good', and his face revealed a pleasantly surprised smile. He stepped forward, slapped each of them hard on the shoulder, and laughed.

"Hahaha …" Commander Yang, with you acting so brazenly, xanthopanax Cheng Yuanzhi is not far from death. "

Hearing Zou Jing's words, Yang Lin let out a long breath, and a stone in his heart dropped to the ground. It seems that he was too petty, Zou Jing did not even try to poach him, he had already been scared sick by Liu Bei, this big eared thief.

"Lord Commander, all soldiers have gathered, Lord Commander is invited."

Zou Jing was also a very experienced general, he walked with the stride of an officer, up the stage. Although he was heavily injured and had one arm still hanging from his shoulder, it was impossible to tell from his footsteps that he was a wounded man.

"Brothers, from now on, you are the generals and soldiers of the Youzhou Army. Of course, if you don't want to join Youzhou Army, you can leave right now. If you do not withdraw, then you must follow the rules of our Youzhou Army. "Is there anyone who wants to quit?"

Everyone just found out about the matter of the army counterattack. They were still discussing about it just now and thought that it was Yang Lin's private army. Unexpectedly, a Commandant of Youzhou suddenly came and announced that everyone had become the army of the Youzhou. From the joy on everyone's faces, they could tell that everyone approved of participating in the Youzhou Army.

However, there were also some troublesome matters. Chen Ze, Zhang Liang and more than a hundred fifty people were originally The soldiers of the prefectural city of Zhuang s, it was not impossible for them to ascend to Youzhou Army s. However, they were soldiers after all, so they had to give an explanation to the officials of Chu. Furthermore, Chen Ze was the young master of the Lord Taishang.

"Lord Commander, we are The soldiers of the prefectural city of Zhuang, what should we do?"

Yang Lin had already told Zou Jing about Chen Ze, Zhang Liang and the others, so he was already prepared. He laughed, then turned to Chen Ze and the others and waved his hand, and said loudly.

"Be it the armies of the Youzhou or the prefectural armies, they are the armies of the imperial government. Right now, the priority for the imperial government officials is to pacify the yellow cloth, so right now, all of you should participate in Youzhou Army bandits. "

"Understood, Lord Commander."

Zou Jing waved his hands towards his subordinates, and a few cavalrymen jumped down from their horses. A cavalryman holding a Youzhou Army's red dental flag walked up to the podium, and behind him, there were five soldiers holding yellow, green, blue, white and black colourful flags.

"Now, I declare Yang Lin to be the commander of the Youzhou Army."

"Thank you Lord Commander."

"Come, receive the Youzhou Army's dental flag."

The dental flag was extremely big, to the point that Zou Jing could only symbolically support it. The standard-bearer gave it to Yang Lin, who looked at the Youzhou Army's red dental flag. Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This flag was actually very simple, it was just that the words "Youzhou Army" were embroidered in the middle of the red flag.

"Come, take over the Youzhou Army's General Flag."

When Yang Lin took over the flag, Zou Jing explained the rules and regulations of the imperial army as well as the roles and meanings of the dental flag and the general flag. It also let the guards understand the differences between the imperial army and the imperial guard and at the same time, let Yang Lin understand the effects of the dental flag and the general flag.

The dental flag was the symbol of the Youzhou Army, and the General Flag was the flag for every part of the march and battle. Among them, the military yellow flag, the former military green flag, the left military blue flag, the right military white flag, the rear military black flag. Whether it was during the march or the battle, the soldiers were all under the banner. They had to protect the flag even if they had to sacrifice their lives. If the flag was lost, the army would no longer exist.

However, Zou Jing's words also made everyone understand that, in name, Zou Jing was the highest ranking officer in this group of Youzhou Army, but in reality, the one commanding and managing this group of Youzhou Army was Yang Lin. Since one of Zou Jing's arms was already hanging up, it was very clear that he would not go to war with the army.

The bustling flag ceremony had ended, leaving Zou Jing and his hundred over cavalrymen to eat lunch before sending them off. Once they left, Yang Lin gathered all his brothers and the leaders from the various villas, and held his first military meeting.

"Brothers, you guys were originally here to do business with us, but now that yellow cloth is in disarray and there is no way out, we are unable to do business anymore." We are now Youzhou Army, but I cannot lose out on the brothers who followed us out. Since we still have to raise our own rations, I can't give out money to everyone. The only rich woman now is the poor one, so I decided to send a poor woman to all my brothers at the end of this year to pay for the horse sale. "

"Hahaha …"

Everyone began to laugh. This was truly a rare method of dividing the profits. At this moment, a young woman was on the market. Her market price was ten thousand yuan, and if she was pretty, it would be more than that. On the other hand, they were only selling horse guards. It was already quite good that they were able to get so much money.

"As for this recruitment, Master Zou Jing wants us to recruit 30,000 soldiers. I have decided to use the existing troops as the foundation to establish thirteen thousand-man unit s, namely Yang Hu from the Yang Family Villa, Li Liang from the Li Family Villa, Li Liang from the Wang Family Villa, from the Wang Family Villa, Xu Ren from the Xu Family Villa, Li Shun from the Wulong Mountain, from the Kang family valley, Huang An from the eagle peak, Huang An from the stone pillar from the eagle peak, Zhu Kan from the summer, Li Quan from the Wulong Mountain, Liang Tian from the eagle peak, Dong Jian from the Li family, from the eagle peak, from the He Yi He Man, Liu Pigong from the Liu Pigong family.

"Each thousand-man unit has a quota of one thousand eight hundred people. Anyone that has more than one thousand eight hundred people will no longer be recruited. In addition, the thirteen of us, along with Uncle Yang Lei, Uncle He Xiong, and Uncle Cang Jie will each recruit more than one hundred and fifty personal guards, for you to choose among yourselves. That brings us to a total of twelve thousand people. Adding our original twelve thousand people, there should be around twenty-five thousand. "

Only after speaking this much in one breath did Yang Lin finally raise his cup and take a sip of water. It was unknown if it was intentional or just a coincidence, but coincidentally, thirteen brothers formed thirteen thousand-man unit s.

"Brothers, the recruitment is decided. We still have another important matter today, and that is the important matter regarding our weapons. In these past few days, I have been researching on the weapons of the fresh inferior. I realised that their weapons do indeed have a human advantage, and I also understood why they could roam the Great Prairie, dominating the Great Desert. That was, their weapons and equipment were suited for cavalry combat. It's not that the more expensive the weapon and equipment are, or the heavier the weapon and equipment is, the better it is. The more suitable it is, the better it is. "

"The soldiers we recruit will all be trained as cavalry. There were also many common weapons such as sabers, swords, spears, long knife s, crossbows, halberds, lances, mace, etc. We can't do this kind of hodgepodge of all kinds of weapons. In order to adapt to the fighting characteristics of the cavalry, our weapons must be quick and simple. In order to make it easy to build and repair, our weapons must be standardized in terms of style and length. "

"Our cavalry will be assisted by the cavalry shooting at the Lord and killing him. So, my plan was to equip our cavalry entirely in accordance with the fresh inferior's Weapons and equipment. Each soldier had a saber, two short blades, and a bow and arrow. The protective equipment are the s and the armor.

"Other than the weapons of the soldiers, each commander of a troop of over a thousand men will receive one more pike. The purpose of having so many spears was not only to command the generals to fight, but also to fight against the enemy generals by themselves. "Those generals who don't like to use spears can choose their own weapons."

"I am preparing to forge a trident spear myself. This trident spear shaft is one meter long, one meter long, and the blade edge is three times that, and the spear shaft is two feet long. The whole spear weighed a hundred and twenty Jin. The reason why it's so heavy, is mainly to deal with those martial artists who use heavy weapons like the square halberd, long hilt blade, Wolf Teeth Rod, and Meteor Hammer. "

"Now, tell us what kind of weapon you want. Once Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's blacksmiths arrive, we will immediately start forging. By the way, I want to tell everyone that Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang have brought us some top-notch steel, and if we use them to make weapons, it will definitely be able to shake the world. "

When Yang Lin finished speaking, everyone's face immediately filled with excitement. As people who loved martial arts, who wouldn't want to have a powerful weapon? Everyone immediately began designing their own weapons in their hearts. This was a divine weapon that would allow them to achieve great things on the battlefield in the future.

"I want a long knife, the knife handle is eight feet long, the blade is four feet long, and the entire blade weighs 120 pounds. The blade is inlaid with the pattern of a coiling dragon swallowing the moon, I call it the Azure Dragon's crescent moon blade."

Guan Yu kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, quietly listening to what Yang Lin was saying. Seeing that no one said anything, he knew that everyone was waiting for him to speak first. He opened his phoenix eyes and stroked his beard as he spoke slowly.

"Second Brother, if you had three Blood Coins on each side of your long knife, the effect would be better, how about that?

"As you wish, Big Brother."

Zhang Fei normally also had a spear, but it was not that long or heavy. It was clearly not as powerful as Yang Lin's spear and he also wanted to forge one, but he was puzzled by the trident. After Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei asked.

"Brother, why did the spear blade create a trident?"

This was a classic of the future generations of military assassins. A good spear was sharp, yet it also needed to bleed. It also needed to have enough hardness and toughness. The shape of the spear was also very important. In addition to its weight, center of gravity, curve, and sharpness, the military knife had to have enough lethality. What was most important was the severity of the wound and the difficulty of being pulled out after stabbing.

"The trident spear is abnormally sharp, the blood is spacious, and is beneficial to expelling blood. After piercing into the enemy's body, a large amount of air immediately enters the enemy's body. When the muscles contract, they do not suck the spear thorn, making it easier to quickly draw the spear. At the same time the trident's wound can't stop bleeding and heal so the enemy will lose the chance to resist. Soon the enemy will die and the trident won't be broken. "

"Brother, I have always been good with snake shaped lances. In fact, lances are similar to lances. But, I'm too used to snake shaped lances. Can you make the trident edge fluctuate like a snake?"

Zhang Fei really had an imagination. If he were to change the trident edge of the blade into a undulating snake shaped wound, it would be even harder for the injured person to survive. Yang Lin nodded and gave him a thumbs up.

"Third Brother is a good idea. With a slight change in the blade, the effect will be even better."

Just as Yang Lin finished speaking, Dian Wei stood up anxiously. He used his large iron halberd s to knock on the door hard, and the noise he made made made everyone's ears go numb.

"Big brother, since your weapons are all at one hundred and twenty kilograms, then wouldn't my large iron halberd be light? I would also like to forge two more large iron halberd, each one weighing sixty kilograms, for a total of one hundred and twenty kilograms. Big brother, what do you think? "

"Of course."

Dian Wei's two large iron halberd s were actually a fusion of spear and spear. It had both a straight and a horizontal blade, and had many different uses such as hooking, pecking, piercing and slicing.

"Big brother, I'll forge two big blades." Each large knife weighs sixty pounds, and each blade has three bloody slashes. But to create the shape of the fresh inferior's blade, the blade would have to bend upwards, and the back of the blade would be broad and thick.

Xu Zhu had always been used to using double knife s, but their large blades were lighter in weight, without any blood clang. Seeing the blade of the fresh inferior, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Heh heh, this is a super saber."

Pan Feng and Yu She looked at each other and laughed. They then shook their heads towards Yang Lin, indicating that they did not plan to change their weapons. Their weapons weighed more than 120 jins, so there was no need to reforge them. Moreover, they did not need any Blood Fang or sharp blades.

"We want the trident!"

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Lin Feng, Luo Yong, Cang Ba, and Cang Ba were spear using generals, and had a special interest towards spears. After hearing Yang Lin talk about the benefits of trident spears, they all asked for trident spears.
