On the way back to Hanjiang City, Lin Han counted the gains and losses of the [Xianbei Rebellion] and [Zhang Chun Rebellion].
The military merits gained are over 10 million, plus the military merits from the copy [Beacon Fire Playing with the Princes], and the military merits left over from the previous activities, now there are more than 3,500 military merit points, which can be exchanged for some good things.
But Lin Han was not in a hurry to change. He needed to decide what to change based on the situation of the territory, or change to a historical beauty.
The army lost more than 2,000 men and took more than 20,000 prisoners.
After Lin Han learned that Liu Yu was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, he ordered his men to drive the captives outside the Great Wall, under the pretext of exiling them to the frontier, and then the people of the Great Xia Dynasty took over the captives.
That was living labor, and the Great Xia Dynasty just lacked labor and population to open up wasteland.
The food harvest was not large, not enough for the legion's consumption, so he put some in as a supplement.
However, a lot of money was gained. The Xianbei guerrillas plundered the people, and some of the wealth that Zhang Chunchao plundered from the people fell into Lin Han's hands.
Lin Han gave the treasures as compensation and military pay to the Demon Guards and Flying Cavalry Battalion that followed him on the northern expedition.
Due to various circumstances, the biggest victory he was about to achieve was taken away by Liu Yu, so his gains from this trip were not that great.
After marching for several days, the army entered Jizhou.
There was no danger on the road. When the bandits along the way heard that Xiao Hange was passing through, they became as obedient as rabbits, hiding in their nests and not daring to come out, for fear of provoking Xiao Hange and being wiped out in one fell swoop.
Xiao Hange's reputation was like thunder in the ears of the bandits in Youzhou and Jizhou.
So Lin Han's march was extremely smooth along the way.
"Yuan Hao, where are we now?" After leaving Youzhou for many days, Lin Han called Tian Feng.
"My lord, we have entered Hejian State in Jizhou."
"Hejian State? We still have some distance to go. Order the entire army to stay and rest." Lin Han ordered the entire army to stay.
The troops set up camp.
The vanguard army occupied the defensive terrain and everything was in order. If any bandits saw the military discipline here, they would probably be frightened.
Soon, a soldier came to report.
"Report! General, there are a scholar and a Taoist priest outside the camp who want to see you. They won't give their names, but only want to see you, General."
"Scholars and Taoists?"
These days, scholars and Taoists are not ordinary people.
Accompanied by a messenger, a scholar with a mustache and a goatee entered the tent. Beside him was an old Taoist priest, holding a whisk, strolling leisurely in the courtyard, looking contented.
The scholar looked around and then looked at Lin Han for a moment before bowing.
"My name is Xu You, nice to meet General Xiao."
Xu You?
Hearing this name, Lin Han's eyes flashed with surprise, and he activated the Emperor's Qi-Seeing Technique on Xu You.

[Lobbying Mastery]: When acting as a lobbyist, his intelligence is slightly improved and his persuasiveness is increased. Hidden attribute,
A top-notch strategist.
After Lin Han saw Xu You's attributes and thought about the cause of his death recorded in the records, it was not surprising.
No wonder Lin Han didn't feel any respect from Xu You for his status as a general.
However, he is indeed a genuine top-notch strategist, proficient in strategy and lobbying. The skill of lobbying is very useful at certain times.
"I've heard a little bit about Xu Ziyuan from Nanyang. I heard that he's very talented." Lin Han said calmly, "I wonder what brings him here this time?"
Hearing Lin Han say that he had heard of his name, Xu You smiled complacently.
"General, I've come here for an important matter. Could you please have a moment with me?"
After saying that, he looked around.
Lin Han waved his hand and asked Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others to leave the tent, leaving only the two of them.
"Tell me about it." Lin Han said.
"General, this visit concerns your future." Xu You smiled confidently and said, "A few days ago, a star passed through the night sky. Did you see it, General?"
"What do you think after seeing it?" Lin Han asked back.
"This is Taoist Master Xiang Kai. He is well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, understands the Book of Changes, and is familiar with the art of yin and yang. He is an upright person. Please ask Taoist Master to explain the hexagram to General Xiao." Xu You introduced Xiang Kai to Lin Han.
Xiang Kai stroked his beard and nodded, looking like an immortal.
"Mr. Xu, you're too polite. The hexagram for February's astrology shows the star Bo in the Purple Palace, an ominous sign. Foreign ministers will overthrow the ruler, the Central Plains will be weak, and the barbarians will be strong. Next year, the ruler will die, and this is the fulfillment of the hexagram. This hexagram indicates that Emperor Ling will die and chaos will break out in all directions."
There's something.
Lin Han looked at Xiang Kai in surprise.
Because he also used divination skills at that time, and the astrological hexagram was exactly as it was, word for word.
"Mr. Xu, please speak frankly. We are the only two of us here. You are not here just to tell me a hexagram, are you?" Lin Han asked calmly.
"The Han Dynasty is now in chaos, its government is brutal and its punishments are harsh. Disasters and anomalies are constant, and calamities are rampant. The prisons are filled with injustices, loyal ministers have been killed, and eunuchs and relatives of the emperor are causing trouble. Their clans should be exterminated. We have long conspired with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, and have reported to the emperor that bandits are plundering the counties in Heishan, so we can raise an army. We will launch the rebellion during the emperor's northern tour and wipe out the eunuchs and treacherous ministers. We will depose the emperor and enthrone the Marquis of Hefei.
"I came here this time to invite General Xiao to join us and discuss important matters. General, you have the ability to lead troops and possess unparalleled strategic strategies. You will accomplish your mission without any worries. If you succeed, we can kill all the eunuchs and their lackeys, and General Xiao will become the Grand General, second only to the emperor and above all others."
