The day's weather was also quite helpful. The sunlight was no longer as intense as before, but seemed to have restrained its willfulness. There were a few faint white clouds floating in the sky, and a cool breeze caressed everyone's faces.

In the large field of cavalry of Youzhou, a incense table was placed and a candle was lit. This time, Yang Lin had no choice but to kneel down, bringing a group of brothers with him. In his heart, however, he couldn't help but mutter, "Seriously, is there really a need to be so ostentatious when reading an imperial edict?" Isn't this the same as wasting money on people? If he had the time, he might as well have the soldiers train themselves. It was better than this boring ceremony.

Under the bright sunlight, the imperial court's underling, Li Yu, took out the imperial edict. He cleared his throat and read it out loud, and instead of saying that he was reading, he was singing. That unpleasant voice caused Yang Lin's hair to stand on end, but the contents of the imperial edict made Yang Lin smile brightly.

The mighty and wise Hanling Emperor Liu Hong appointed Yang Lin as the Commandant of Youzhou, and led him to lead the taiwai. At the same time, he rewarded the heroic and outstanding Northern Army soldiers, and ordered Yang Lin to lead all the northern troops to the Nanyang immediately to assist the imperial government in annihilating the entire Zhang Mancheng Tribe.

When the eunuch Li Yu finished reading out loud, the whole field immediately burst into commotion. The soldiers whispered to each other and started discussing, all of them looked as though they were all drunk, their excited faces turning red.

Why isn't anyone shouting slogans?

That's right, who wouldn't want to have the status of an official? They had always been temporary defenders, and no one had looked down on them. Sometimes, they had even looked down on themselves. Regardless of whether it was Yang Lin's brothers or the village warriors who were recruited, they still desired the acknowledgement of the imperial government from the depths of their bones. They hoped to take this opportunity to fight for a position and a future.

Now, they had become soldiers of the Youzhou, their leader was the Commandant of Youzhou, the Liaodong County, in the future, they would at least be able to seek a future in the Guangyang County. If he were to dream tonight, he would definitely wake up smiling.

Zhang Banxian, Xin Ping and Xin Pi, who were standing beside Yang Lin, were also very excited. They were happy that they made the right choice. Who would say that a scholar didn't want to be a government official? Since ancient times, didn't those scholars study hard to become a government official? As for the few scholars who had returned to seclusion, they felt that it was because they were petty officials, or because they knew that it was hopeless to become an official, so they pretended to be noble and aloof.

Especially Zhang Banxian, although his expression was still calm, but she was wild with joy in his heart. When Yang Lin asked for his help, he would reward him heavily when the promise was completed. But seeing how strong Yang Lin's cavalry was, he did not need to reward Yang Lin heavily after capturing him, and was willing to follow him. He never thought that he would be rewarded so quickly and immediately become Court officers.

While the brothers were still excited outside, inside Yang Lin's Big Account, Yang Lin was suffering. The rest of the brothers had already left, and even Zhang Ling, Xin Ping and Xin Pi didn't know where they were at, so Yang Lin could only accompany Young Eunuch Li Yu in idle chatter, not saying a single word.

However, Li Yu was not here to chat with him, he was here on a heavy responsibility and was entrusted by Zhang Gong to negotiate with Yang Lin. The reason why he chased everyone away was because he had something to say to Yang Lin alone. Gradually, Li Yu got to the main point.

"Lord Yang, Director Zhang has helped you greatly in your matters. Furthermore, I did not ask for a single coin from you. This is a unique precedent. When I came over from Luoyang, Director Zhang had me deliver a message to you. Guangyang County Tian Kai, fishing yang County's Yan Gang, also spent money so it's not appropriate to change it for the time being. As the Commandant of Youzhou, you can start a new world here. "

Yang Lin who had been in contact with officials for a long time immediately understood what Li Yu meant when he heard this. He smiled as he looked at Li Yu, but in his heart he thought, do you want to take this opportunity to spend some money? Why are you being so open? Even if you didn't say anything, I would have given you tens of thousands of dollars.

"Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Li. I will not forget it, and I will not treat you unfairly."

Yang Lin extended both his hands out and patted them, and called out to the soldiers at the entrance of the Big Account. It didn't take long before footsteps could be heard from outside. Several soldiers walked in, each of them carrying a box. The box wasn't big, but the soldiers carrying the box seemed to be struggling.

waved his hand, and all the soldiers left, putting down the curtain at the entrance of the Big Account. The Big Account s immediately dimmed, and the guards stood at the entrance, seeing the confused look on Li Yu's face, Yang Lin opened the lid with a smile.

The entire box was filled with shiny silver, in that moment, Yang Lin's tent became much brighter, the change in expression on Li Yu's face was also very interesting, it was originally suspicious, but when he saw the box open, his eyes instantly opened wide, staring straight into the box full of silver, his eyes unblinking.

"Eunuch Li, Luoyang City is such a bustling place, the money spent on my salary must be a little tight, here is two boxes of silver, one box for two thousand gold, one box for each Eunuch Li and one box for each Director Zhang, no respect, please accept it."

The inside of the Big Account was very quiet, and Yang Lin could even hear the sound of the other party gulping. After a while, Li Yu finally snapped out of his shock and drank some water from his cup. After he calmed down, he cleared his throat and raised his head to look at Yang Lin.

"What does Lord Yang mean by this?"

What do you mean? Could it be that this Li Yu doesn't like money, and actually asked me what does that mean? Yang Lin was very surprised, the sun was rising in the west, which eunuch saw the money, and was not like a leech seeing blood, could it be that there really was a different kind of person?

"Eunuch Li, this is my gratitude to Eunuch Li and his. In the future, I hope that Eunuch Li and her can take care of me."

"Haha …"

As soon as Yang Lin's words fell, Li Yu started laughing. That expression was a little awkward, and he said: "Master Yang must have misunderstood something, the Director Zhang has already said that this time when we come to Master Yang's camp, you are not allowed to ask for even a single silver. Our family would never dare to take your silver, we should still be careful of your head! "

After saying that, he stared at the silver on the ground a few more times. Apparently, he was unwilling to part with it. He expressionlessly waved his hand and slowly lifted the cup of water, drinking a few mouthfuls of water. As if there was something that was difficult to bring to light, he hesitated for a good while before raising his head to look at Yang Lin.

"To tell you the truth, when Lord Yang captured Bo Cai's underlings, did he capture any personal letters?"

So it was for this. No wonder he was stingy with his words. He didn't even want silver taels. It seemed that his life was more important than silver taels. I don't want to do that kind of thing. Yang Lin quickly thought about it, then smiled at Li Yu.

"To be honest, Eunuch Li has indeed seized some private letters. But don't worry Eunuch Li, we will never see the light of these letters. "

After confirming the whereabouts of the letters, Li Yu's anxious heart was finally at ease. His round face slightly moved, his eyes suddenly became much brighter, and his hands unnaturally rubbed on the water cups, his tone becoming more agitated.

"Lord Yang, can I bring these private letters back?"

This won't do, Yang Lin immediately gave him a negative in his heart. If you take these letters with you, how can I bargain with Chang? Even though you're Zhang Jean's trusted aide, who knows if you might have ill intentions. If you blackmail him, won't you make him hate me even more?

I'm afraid that I will have to disappoint the Eunuch Li, if I do not see the owner of these letters, I will not hand them over to anyone else, I have to be responsible for the owner of these letters.

Obviously, Li Yu was very disappointed, the expression on his face just now was completely wiped away. He might not have expected Yang Lin to reject him, he even looked at him angrily and continued to drink his water, ignoring Yang Lin. The atmosphere in the Big Account suddenly became awkward.

"Eunuch Li, please understand my difficulties. Before the end of the year, I will personally go to Luoyang, and at that time, I will pass the letter to its owner. "

"Alright then, I hope Master Yang will not disappoint the expectations that the Director Zhang has of you."

The entire night, the Youzhou Army's camp was immersed in a sea of happiness. Yang Lin made an exception and allowed the unqualified soldiers to drink wine at night. Even Li Yu was sighing emotionally. It was hard for the Youzhou Army to win the battle, so they were really single-minded.

"Big bro, let's toast to you. Normally, you're not allowed to drink alcohol, but today, a ban has been lifted. No matter what, you have to sing this."

Guan Yu brought all his brothers and entangled Yang Lin, as if they had to drink alcohol. Under normal circumstances, Guan Yu was not a good drinker, but today he made an exception, and Yang Lin had no choice but to drink a big bowl with his brothers. When the other generals came to toast, Yang Lin really couldn't drink anymore and walked over on his own accord.

"It's better if I drink for the Lord Taishang. Let me toast all you brothers."

Zheng Wei lifted his wine, and not only did he drink with the Captains, he also drank with Zhang Ling, Xin Pi and Xin Pi.

Some of them were even bandits. If not for Yang Lin, they would probably have to spend their entire lives in the fields, being oppressed and exploited by the landlords and tyrants. It would be good if they could get along well.

Zhang Ling represented Yang Lin and drank with them. This proved that in Yang Lin's heart, the three of them were the same as Yang Lin's brothers, and they could not be separated from each other. Especially Zhang Ling, he used to be just a fortune-teller, who would put him in their eyes? But now that he was also the advisor of the Lord Taishang, why didn't he feel grateful to Yang Lin?

Peng Tuo, Huang Shao and the other General of the Yellow Scarf Army s were displeased, just now, Yang Lin had only expressed to them that he did not drink, and now that Zheng Wei had drank wine on his behalf with his brothers, how could they be so biased? They came up one after another to drink with Zheng Wei, and this made things difficult for him, she only had a few cups of wine left, and did not dare drink anymore.

"Let me drink a cup of wine for my lord as well. I offer it to the generals."

Zhang Ying saw that Zheng Wei was in a difficult situation, and could only walk up to the General of the Yellow Scarf Army and ask. With such a goddess-like beauty toasting them, how could the General of the Yellow Scarf Army s still have anything to say? They hurriedly picked up the wine and gulped it down.

If Yang Lin had not accepted them, they would not have met a good end even if the imperial court did not investigate them. He could only continue to be their "dying peasants". He put down their weapons and walked dejectedly back to his hometown. He picked up his long-rusted hoe once more and walked towards the desolate fields. When they threw themselves in front of their new master, recalling the scenes from the past would be like a nightmare that would linger in their hearts for the rest of their lives. Perhaps a nightmare had yet to awaken, and a new nightmare was about to begin.
