Yan Bei chatted with Lei Gong for half an hour, from the ambush in the dense forest to Guan Yu's charge, and even talked about some things in Zhuo County in the past, until he saw that Lei Gong was not in good spirits, which made him feel at ease to recuperate from his injuries, and instructed the maid to serve carefully, and then went to the Xiangping official office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

secretly thought in his heart, if Zhang Leigong couldn't fight in the future...... He has to arrange a way out for this big voice in Jizhou, not to mention anything else, work hard for him, and let people be rich for the rest of their lives.

Yan Bei left the Yan family's mansion, and those working maids dared to get together and whisper about this lord of Liaodong who had never met.

If it weren't for the rebel lieutenant on the sickbed in the house who bowed down to him, they wouldn't have believed that the unruly and handsome young man was the real ruler of the whole territory of Liaodong, but they heard with their own ears that the man's name was Yanbei!

Tall and tough, with a lot of aggression in every gesture.

What's more, young people don't talk about it!

Yan Bei didn't know this, and when he walked out of the mansion in a hurry, the warrior with the teeth who led the horse and fell into the stirrups had already prepared a mount for him, turned over and got on the horse, and rode several horses to raise the whip, and went straight to the county government office.

Xiangping City is backed by a thousand mountains, the door of the official office is also open to the west, when Yanbei arrived, he saw more than ten fat hussars on the tethered horse pile outside the official temple, and there were more than a dozen samurai with swords inside and outside the gate, these people were all following Yanbei from Jizhou to Youzhou Liaodong The various military attachés and soldiers, saw Yanbei dismount and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Yan Bei nodded and threw off the reins, and his own samurai respectfully led the horse and stood on the side stake at the entrance of the official office.

Entering the front hall of the official office, Fu Zhu and Gao Ran had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Yan Bei coming back, the two of them gave up their hands, and Fu Zhu asked, "The general just came back?" ”

"Ah, yes, as soon as I came back, I bothered you two to run back, haha!" Yan Bei smiled and opened his arms, and took off the iron armor and rhino leather armor that bound his body under the service of the servants of the official office, then rubbed his shoulders and sat in the middle, beckoning the two to sit down, and asked Zhengse: "This half month, is there a big deal?" ”

After sitting down, he took the book on the top of the case, and said: "Today, I checked the household registration and acres of land in the official office, and estimated this year's harvest. In the spring, due to the war, many townships in Xiangping West delayed farming, and the fields of the Gongsun family were destroyed because the master's family had been wiped out, and there was less cultivation...... This year's harvest will be less than 40%. In addition, there was a shortage of grain in various places, and a message had been sent to the lieutenants of the two departments in the southeast and north of Liaodong to leave all the grain and grass in the county that could be used by the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to be transferred to Xiangping for the consumption of the Chinese army. ”

Yanbei was already very thirsty on the road this day, so he drank the slurry water with the pottery bowl on the table, and nodded when he heard the words: "I know this, when I returned to the army, I came with Wang Dang and brought grain and grass, but there are not many grain and grass in Xinchang, and this time there are only forty carts." By the way, I was anxious to see Lei Gong's injury and entered the city first, calculate the time and now the soldiers and horses should have entered the camp, Ah Xiu, you will go with me later to see those prisoners, if you can use it, you will break it up and integrate it into various departments, and if you can't use it, release it as soon as possible, and it will be a waste of food to keep it. ”

Gao Ran promised, and then continued: "What the general said is good, at present, except for the north and south departments, our grain and grass are still not enough for the men and horses of the Xiangping camp and the Qingshiqiao military village to consume this year, so even if this year's harvest is large, at most it will last until next spring. ”

"Is it enough for seven or eight months...... Is there a way to get food in the past seven or eight months? Yanbei frowned and was a little worried, after a battle with Meng Yi, the soldiers and horses were lost, and there were only eight or nine thousand people left in the Xiangping camp at present, and he still wanted to recruit troops again when he returned to Xiangping this time, and it was absolutely impossible to not have enough grain and grass...... It's too late to reclaim, what can I do with Mr. Gonghe? ”

He shook his head, "The people and big households in the counties may still be able to collect a batch of grain, but I am afraid that it will not work to sell the land." Unless the general is really the Liaodong Taishou appointed by the imperial court, the people will not buy it...... What's more, the current land price in Liaodong is 800 yuan per mu, and you are willing to sell it? Clearing wasteland has to be done, but not necessarily people are willing to do it for you. The general had previously asked Wang Yi to smelt ironware, and Xiangping had been able to recruit three craftsmen for more than a month, and finally forcibly recruited more than 20 people to start ironmaking in Gongsun's Wubao. ”

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Yan Bei rubbed his forehead, and suddenly asked Gao Ran: "The scouts who went to Liaoxi, have they come back, and what is the situation over there?" ”

"It's difficult for us, and it's not easy for Gongsun Dudu." Gao Ran smiled and said to Yanbei: "The black mountain thieves came out of the mountains and beat Jizhou into a mess, a few days ago in the south of Zhuojun and Youzhou soldiers fought a few battles, Youzhou can not recruit soldiers now, the scout came back the day before yesterday and said that General Gongsun's camp in Yangle, Liaoxi is still empty, and the flags all over the ground are not visible...... He couldn't recruit any more soldiers. ”

"It's good that you can't recruit soldiers!" Yanbei beckoned Chen Zhong, who was standing outside the door with a knife, to come in and said, "If you can't recruit soldiers, it means that you can't fight for the time being...... Do you want to go to Xianbei? ”

This topic jumped too fast, Frustrated and Gao Ran were stunned, and Chen Zhong couldn't understand what was going on, but he still arched his hand and said, "General, please give an order!" ”

"Don't be so serious, you can bring dozens of cronies, go to Xianbei to find that guy Suli, see if he is doing this year, and come back and tell me...... As long as he's not happy, I'm relieved. Yan Bei said this, knocking on a few cases with one hand and said: "Seeing if he has fought with other tribes in the spring and summer this year, and whether many warriors in the department have died, tell him that if he needs people, I can temporarily lend him two thousand warriors and return them next autumn." ”

Chen Zhong's eyes widened, "Lend him two thousand warriors?" ”

"Yes, I guess he is very short of manpower now, tell him that these sergeants will carry armor and weapons, but there is also a price, let him come back next autumn to give Lao Tzu these two thousand good men with war horses!"

"No!"

"Okay, you go down, and in a few days you will leave for Xianbei. You don't have to follow me these days, just rest in Xiangping for a few days. Yan Bei waited until he was about to walk out of the front hall before he said, "By the way, bring Chen Zuo." ”

Chen Zhong was ordered to walk out of the official office, and then asked, "Is the general planning to let Xianbei Suli raise troops for you?" ”

Yan Bei nodded, rubbed his hands and said: "This is also a helpless thing, who let us run out of food, if there are two thousand fewer people, this food ...... I guess that's enough to eat. ”

"At least it can last until next summer, save food, and maybe it can last until next year's big harvest." After speaking, he added: "If there is no war next spring, the agricultural time will be delayed. ”

"Next spring, next spring...... There will be no war tomorrow spring. Yan Bei clenched his fists and thought for a while, then asked Gao Ran: "Ah Xiu, have you ever seen a warrior whose martial arts are so high that you can't look good?" ”

Gao Lan paused for a moment, frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "Martial arts are so high? Zhang Junyi's martial arts are good, slightly worse than Gao, and the captain of the koji is also between the best of the best, and then there is Wang Dang, who is also brave, and he is considered a strong martial artist, right? ”

"No, no, no, that's it, like Ah Xiu, your martial arts, if you ride into battle alone, what should you do?"

"Gao rushed? If there is no strong crossbow, you can rush to kill for a moment alone, but sooner or later you will have to fight to death, after all, this flesh and blood. Saying that, Gao Ran slapped his hand on a few cases, and said to Yanbei suddenly: "When the general said this, Gao really remembered someone!" Anping has a strong Yan Liang, heard that there were thousands of bandits in Tangyang County when the Yellow Turban, Yan Liang went out of Wubao to lead the soldiers to shoot horses and dance knives to rush into battle, with hundreds of people rushed through the enemy formation, and taught the bandits to withdraw from Tangyang...... Martial arts are not inferior to Gao, our one, is it considered to be superior in martial arts as you say? ”

"Yes, yes, that's the kind of person! Do you know him? Can you recruit us to come here? Yan Bei's eyes were red, and he said to Gao Ran eagerly: "Is this person still in Anping Kingdom now?" ”

Gao Ran chuckled, spread his hands and said, "General, don't think about it, I heard that Yan Liang later went to Luoyang with the heroic Wenchou of the same county...... Later, Gao didn't know. But it is expected that even if he is still in Jizhou, he will not come to Liaodong across the mountains and rivers. ”

"That's a pity." Yan Bei smacked his lips and shook his head and sighed, and then said to Gao Ran: "Do you know that this time I was almost killed by someone in the southeast of Liaonan...... That person's name is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, and he said that he was from Hedong. By the way, I gave him my sword, and I should have taken the bluestone bridge to leave Liaodong a few days ago, do you have any impression? ”

Gao Ran frowned and said, "I heard Captain Koji say that someone is holding your sword to cross the bluestone bridge...... But I didn't care about it at the time, and I rode into battle alone? ”

Yan Bei nodded, and couldn't help but say with fascination in his words: "That person is nine feet tall, with a red face and a beautiful beard, and he is invincible in the formation with a long knife...... What a warrior! ”

"General, your martial arts...... I don't know what the situation is when I kill through the 400 army formation, but if you pick your pocket? Gao Ran pursed his lips and smiled, and said after a while: "You better practice your martial arts well, these days of fighting in the east and west, your martial arts are much more wasted than before." ”

Yan Bei glared at Gao Ran angrily, Gao Axiu, what do you mean by this, what's the matter, even if Lao Tzu goes to run, if you can't pick my pocket, you will lose, right?

Angry, but Yan Bei also knew that Gao Ran was telling the truth, his martial arts were quite brave compared to ordinary people, and compared with Sun Qing and Li Damu, he was also equal. But if compared with brave generals like Gao Ran and even Guan Yunchang, who wield swords and spears, he is far behind.

In fact, Gao Lan's martial arts are also inappropriate, but Gao Ran looks kinder, not as majestic as Guan Yu. Guan Yunchang's face and figure are like a god descending from heaven, who is not afraid of rushing into battle?

"Gongsun Chan has such a fierce general under his command, if he recruits enough soldiers and horses, can we still beat him?" Yan Bei shook his head, and only after a while did he ask, "How is the training of the Xiaoya Army?" If we want to fight against Gongsun Zhan, we must have a brave enough trapping team, otherwise we will lose as soon as the battle is stalemate. ”

"General, I didn't care about the training of the Xiaoya Army for more than a month, I just trained the four thousand ordinary sergeants." Gao Ran sighed and said: "The method of training the army of the captain of the koji school, Gao is very far apart, he and the general thought together, and took it upon himself to incorporate the three thousand soldiers of Qingshiqiao into the Xiaoya Army, at this time, the new and old soldiers have been organized into two more than 5,000 Xiaoya Army, one is the first to climb and the other is trapped, and the general can go to the Xiangping camp with Gao to have a look. ”

"Is that so?" When Yan Bei heard this, he got up and pulled Gao Ran to walk outside the official office, "It's just right, let's go and see those prisoners together, there are a hundred and ten white horse righteous servants in them, and a young general in Tsing Yi is very interesting!" ”
