Chapter 115: Giving Armor Before Leaving
When leading the army across Liaoshui, Yan Bei's heart was actually a little unhappy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He can just bow his head and be sensible, but he is not a faceless person...... Seeing that there are so many talents in this world, and there are so many talents with good postures, how can Yanbei not be moved?
This is like the greed in people's hearts, looking at others with envy that they have so many gold and silver treasures, how can they not have the feeling of 'there are so many good things, why not mine' in the bottom of their hearts.
There are so many talented and fierce generals in the world...... Why can't it be mine?
But every time, it is looked down upon; Every time, it was ignored.
Guan Yunchang is just that, such a tiger general of the world, he should have a little temper. Even Lu Yi, a boss who is close but not inferior to distant and resentful, has it for him, not to mention Guan Yu's mighty hero, even if the supply is high, he is not afraid. But this time, even Tian Yu, who was a square and a weak crown, looked down on him because of his identity.
It's a long road, it's a long way.
Who knows my heart?
"Is the general worried?" Seeing Yan Bei looking at the dense forest beside the road, he asked: "The scout has just galloped four hundred miles to report back, and there were still only a few hundred soldiers and horses in Gongsun Zhan's camp five days ago, so there is no need to worry about the war...... After this matter, the general can go to Jixian to meet Liu Gong. ”
Looking back at Fu Zhu's expression of concern, Yan Bei sighed with relief, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not because of the war, it's just that I thought that yesterday, I invited Liu Xuande's subordinates to Sima Xiang of other departments, but the young man was ridiculed, and I was unhappy." ”
"It turned out to be because of this." With a chuckle on his face, he leaned on the chariot and said: "Although the general has a reputation, most of them are notorious because of false rumors, not to mention that the general has indeed done a lot of evil things, and it can only be said by others, right?" ”
"People's hearts are flesh and blood, as long as you belong to Liu Youzhou in the future, and you are eager to seek talents as a general, why worry about people who have no talent to attach? For example, Tian Yu, he did not refuse the general, didn't you say that after you talked yesterday, he said that he still promised to make a number when he went back, as long as you belong to Youzhou, he is your account, don't bother yourself. ”
There was already a smile on his face, but the words he said were all the words of a national scholar in Yanbei's eyes, "The general guards Liaodong, and when the war is certain, he can build a museum in Liaodong to recruit talents, and then build a water village in southeast Liaodong, all the way to Donglai, Qingzhou...... At this time, the war in the Central Plains is non-stop, if the general can ensure the peace of Liaodong, why worry about no sages to avoid trouble? ”
"Ha, the sky doesn't abandon Yan, so that there is public and help!" Yan Bei shook his head, also amused by his discouragement, waved his hand, and said to Fu Zhu: "Speaking of war, Gonghe thinks that this battle will hunt Gongsun, how to win?" There are a few very brave generals under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and I am only afraid that they will stand out together and teach me that the military will be in chaos. ”
Yan Bei shook his head and looked fascinated again, "Guan Yunchang is such a fierce general, I don't know if there is a chance to see you again!" ”
Hearing this, he chuckled, where is his own general thirsty for talent, it is clear that he is looking for talent like a starving ghost reincarnated! I heard that the general named Guan Yunchang rushed through the general's army formation alone, and almost cut him off his horse, and even his pocket was chopped away, what a dangerous situation was that? But this one didn't have any resentment, but wanted to see him again...... Who knows if goodbye is friend or foe?
He felt that goodbye was mostly friend or foe, and it was better not to say goodbye to such a fierce general.
Otherwise, Yanbei was lucky last time, and next time he can hide under his belly and pick up his life?
Of course, this would never have been said.
They followed Yanbei all the way from Jizhou to Liaodong, Liaodong! Compared with the counties of Youzhou, it is still the poorest county, let alone Jizhou. There are only more than 60,000 people, and there are only more than 20,000 Han households in the eleven cities, even if you count the five counties of Liaodong, it can only be worth 80,000 people. There are sixteen cities, but only Xiangping can barely compete with the small city of Jizhou.
When the three Xiangping are added together, it is not as lively as a Handan city.
It's no wonder that such a place can afford to raise nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yanbei!
However, it is also frustrated, and the governance of the people under the jurisdiction of a county in Liaodong is almost the same as that of Handan City in the past. Even so, in the face of the current situation of lack of people, money, food, and iron in Liaodong, Fu Zhu has always been in a situation of one head and two major problems.
It is true that Liaodong is rich in resources, and there have been craftsmen who have proved that there are copper and iron minerals on the surface of the Qianshan Mountains, and the amount is not a few; It is true that there is a huge number of oak trees in the large forests brought back by Yanbei to the southeast of Liaoning; It is true that there is a large amount of wasteland and mountains and forests for farming in the whole territory of Liaodong; It is true that there is a large coastline in eastern Liaodong for fishing and salt, and there are many pastures for animal husbandry...... But the premise of all this is population! No one who goes to mining, no one who goes to logging, no one who goes to open up wasteland, no one who goes fishing, no one who goes to dry salt, no one who goes to animal husbandry?
What's more, he is still at war, and even if he thinks of some solutions in his head, he can't do anything in the case of preparing for war against the west at any time.
In such a place where everything is in ruins, only a general like Yanbei who is eager to seek talent can let Fu Zhu see the slightest hint of the prosperity of Liaodong in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Fu Zhu will vigorously support Yanbei's westward march to fight Gongsun Zhan for a while.
In front of Yanbei and their generals, there is only one way to survive...... Annexation to Liu Youzhou, only by annexing Liu Youzhou can the war be stopped.
The frustration has already figured it out, and when the war subsides, it is time to farm and farm, and it is time to cut down and log...... So many soldiers are raised for nothing, let those soldiers follow the policy of Zhao Chongguo when Emperor Xiaowu was in the tuntian, and let these soldiers go to open up the wasteland, go to the wood, and go to the mining!
came back from Xianbei Suli for Han people, from Wuhuan Qiu Liju for Han people, and even went to migrate the people of Jizhou who were caught in the war, so that those people could settle down in Liaodong and go to open up wasteland!
It's just that these plans that have been written by frustration can't be told to Yanbei for the time being...... In Fu Zhu's opinion, Yan Bei only has one thing to consider.
Defeat Gongsun Chan!
……
The soldiers and horses marched to the subject state of Liaodong, leaving Wu Shuangyi and Su Fuyan, who had previously stayed in Liaodong, to guard the western gate of Xiangping, and Yanbei continued to lead the army westward.
Early the next morning, the army that had eaten the morning food rose from camp, but saw a cloud of smoke and dust on the back road, and someone shouted: "The general stays!" ”
The herald ran all the way to Yanbei, and told the news that Yanbei looked back, only to see Wang Yi galloping with a few riders, and the horse was about to be tired and foaming, and when Yanbei got closer, he saw Wang Yi's two eyes were blue, and he was afraid that it would be inevitable all night.
"Ayi? Something big is wrong, you rush here! When Yanbei saw Wang Yi's appearance, his first thought was that something had happened in Liaodong, otherwise how could Wang Yi, who should have set foot on his way to Goguryeo at this time, appear here? Thinking of this, Yanbei couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly jumped off the chariot, helped Wang Yi off his mount and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Don't worry, general, it doesn't look like it's urgent."
Frustrated and patted Yan Bei's arm, Yan Bei looked at Wang Yi with a tired panting and a grin at the corner of his mouth, and secretly wondered in his heart, no matter how he looked at his virtue, it was not like something happened at home. But if something doesn't happen at home, just send a cavalry to report the news, why rush over in person like this?
"Brother knows that my brother's westward expedition is very important, and I have heard that Gongsun Zhan's subordinates have tiger generals who can ride into battle alone, and I am afraid that my brother will be dangerous, so I have made a set of armor these days." Wang Yi dragged the water bladder on the horse's back and took a few big sips, then wiped his mouth and clenched his fist to Yanbei and said: "Brother should stay away, brother Yike will go to a foreign country every day, and I don't know when we will meet ......"
As he spoke, Wang Yi's nose was a little sour, he pursed his lips and didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth a few times and wanted to answer, but he didn't know what to continue to say, so he had to grin and smirk while panting, and he didn't say anything for a while, and raised his hand to his entourage and shouted: "Lift off the general's armor!" ”
At this time, everyone noticed that several horses had heavy wooden boxes tied to their hind legs, and the riders removed the wooden boxes and opened them on the ground one by one, and the onlookers smacked their tongues.
What a majestic set of fine iron armor!
The iron pocket is topped with white velvet tassels, the basin collar is bright and silver-sleeved, the fish scale armor has a beast-faced ring heart guard on the chest, the hem is wide armor to protect the knees, a pair of copper tiger head iron combat boots near the knee, and there is also a single box with a five-foot fine iron thick-backed long-ring knife...... A whole set of extremely exquisite armor, God knows how many times Wang Yi beat the iron ingot in the fire of Tiewu in order to make such a set of armor before the big war came!
"This ...... Ayi. ”
This is the blacksmith brother who followed him to fight in the two states for five years, and this is the brother who followed him to assassinate Tao Qian and went west to Jizhou and then to Xianbei, this is also ...... The old brother who gradually became unused after recruiting strongmen under Yanbei.
It is a brother who is about to go deep into a foreign country and readily promises regardless of his future, but is worried that he will miss on the battlefield.
"Brother, brother...... Oh, I'm stupid, I've thought a lot on the way, but I can't remember it at all. Wang Yi scratched the back of his head and grinned, "I fought hard the day before yesterday and wanted to send you back to Xiangping, but Captain Sun told me that you had already set out on the expedition, so I just ran this way, and I can be regarded as catching up." ”
Yan Bei listened with a somewhat stiff smile on his face, thinking that when he led the army south to attack Meng Yi, Wang Yi was striking iron in Tiewu, in order to create such a set of armor for himself, but he didn't go to Tiewu to see him until he led the army west, thinking about this, and then looking at Wang Yi's dark eyes for lack of rest, his nose felt sour.
"Brother, try it on and see if it fits......"
Yan Bei gently rubbed the bridge of his nose, Wang Yi was still babbling in front of him, he was caught by Yan Bei suddenly, hammered his back hard, and looked at him with this arm, "You remember, it can't be done, but you must return to Liaodong alive!" Our brother's good days are about to begin, and I must come back alive! ”
"No!"
Taking a deep breath, Yan Bei opened his arms, raised his head and closed his eyes, and shouted: "Come on, wear armor!" ”
