The soldiers wanted to return to their hometown, and they had been away from their hometown for too long for the war that divided the north and the south of the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A whole year!

For the next few days, Jiang Jin and Tian Yu carried their soldiers between the mountains and the river bank every night, carefully carrying the heavy wooden boxes and huge stone tablets to their ships.

This was probably the last thing they did in the Central Plains.

In late June, Yanbei held a banquet outside Luoyang City to receive Cao Cao, who temporarily deployed suspicious troops to withdraw after the confrontation between Guo Yan, and Gongsun Zan was not heard from, and heard Cao Cao say that he had a conflict with the Southern Xiongnu who helped the war...... The battle over there has changed from a confrontation between the east and the west to a battle between Gongsun Chan and Yu Fuluo.

"Mengde, what are your plans after we withdraw this time?" Yan Bei smiled self-deprecatingly with the wine bottle, looked up at the night sky and muttered: "I didn't want to come when I came, but I was a little reluctant to leave when I left...... I don't know what I'm reluctant to do. ”

He knew every well in Luoyang as well as he knew Xiangping. This kind of departure from a familiar place and a known return journey is not said to be reluctant for him. But on the contrary, there are some worries in my heart that are like the locals of the Central Plains.

He was worried that the next time he came to the Central Plains, he would be wrong.

"I don't know, let's take it one step at a time." Cao Cao shook his head, put down the wine bottle and let out a sigh, "Yanzhou, the land of the four wars, is not a good person...... Fortunately, Meng Zhuo, Yuncheng and others can attack and defend with me. Anyway, before I go to Dongjun, I have to go back to the countryside first, and then recruit some troops, so that I can have a guarantee. By the way, Zhongqing, I have set up camp in the west of the city, and you can send generals to take over tomorrow, thank you for helping me relieve the siege at that time and lend me to strengthen the army. ”

Cao Cao said a little embarrassed, if it weren't for the blackened complexion, he was afraid that he would already be red, "It's a pity that you lent me 8,000 sergeants at the beginning, and now you can only return 4,700 people, Cao Mou is ashamed." ”

Cao Cao is quite sincere, Yan Bei smiled, at that time he also thought that Cao Cao might not submit the matter of returning the soldiers and horses...... Four thousand soldiers and horses, no one is a few.

"No, how can you recruit soldiers without soldiers and horses? Always have to leave someone around. Yan Bei thought that this army would be left to Cao Cao, but now that the situation has changed, he lent 3,000 soldiers and horses to Liu Bei to quell the rebellion, Zhao Yun still has a few empty units, Zhao Yun has made meritorious contributions in the war, Yanbei will sooner or later promote him to a captain, no soldiers can be done, so Yan Bei said to Cao Cao: "That's it, I also need to use people here." Tomorrow I will send my subordinates to the camp to propose 2,000, and those 2,700 are veterans of the battle, even if new soldiers are recruited and brought by them, they can train two battalions. ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, it was still natural for him to borrow or borrow, and it was already wrong for him to only pay back 4,000 people. But now Yanbei only asked for 2,000 back, and left him a captain's department, which was really unexpected, and said repeatedly: "If this is the case, it would be great, thank you Zhongqing for your kindness!" ”

Yan Bei waved his hand, although he was not stingy, he was not stupid. In doing so, he naturally has his considerations...... First of all, he doesn't look down on these old soldiers, these people follow Cao Cao on the battlefield to fight and fight some defeats, although defeating the battle is the easiest way to leave elite soldiers, but the problem is what kind of defeat these people fought? There is no fight to the death, there is no high morale, and all that is fought is a rout!

With more experience like this, what are the veterans who stay? It's all soldiers, and when they see that the situation is not good, they turn around and run, even if the military officer holds a knife, it is not easy to do it.

Speaking of which, it's far worse than the two other parts that Jiao Touch took away!

Changshan Xiangyong and Zhongshan Dead Soldiers' Battalion, they are all good pawns who can really afford to fight tough battles, as for these people?

Hmph, you can only fight with the wind!

But no matter how bad it is, there is no way, Yanbei has too few soldiers...... He actually found that he didn't even have a soldier from another department or the captain's department for Zhao Yun. Now he has added the soldiers and horses of Lu Yi, and there are only 15,000 when he is full.

Where are the soldiers assigned to Zhao Yun!

Zhao Yun has more than 900 people left in his hands, and he plans to expand Zhao Yun's school captain department of 3,000 people at a time this time, and wait until he returns to Liaodong and is directly promoted to school captain. Even if the time comes, the two thousand veterans who dare not fight will be replaced with the Liaodong Tian soldiers, and he will still have 10,000 field soldiers in Liaodong, and those reserve soldiers have all been put into the battlefield, not to mention that in the early years, the Tian soldiers fought hard battles with him and won the battle!

Yanbei now feels that it is really good to get out of the field pawn system at the beginning, these people are all old pawns, and there is a lot of land rent relative to the tenants, as long as they do a good job in the farming and training assigned by the county government, the harvest of half grain and half money can make them live a good life, and once there is a war, they can exchange their heads for wealth with their skills.

And more importantly, after these people got married, their sons were trained in hand-to-hand combat from an early age, because they were military households. Fifteen or sixteen years later, Liaodong County will continue to train the next generation of brave Youji warriors to serve the Yan clan!

Yanbei's vision is very long-term, whether it is the academy or Tian Shu, their true meaning will be seen in ten years.

"After today, Yan is going back to Liaodong, you and I are on each other's sides, but there is this robe and righteousness, these two thousand seven hundred soldiers should be a parting gift, Meng De doesn't have to be like this." Yanbei does have a good impression of Cao Cao, there are not many people like him in these years, Yanbei Yaoyao raised a bottle of wine to Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "As you said, the four wars in Yanzhou, the princes of Kwantung gathered, and there will be no less wars in the future." If you have difficulties in the future, you can go to Liaodong from Donglai, Qingzhou to find me. ”

"Haha!" Cao Cao smiled and said, "Definitely!" ”

In fact, all of them know that if they say goodbye this time, they really don't know when they will meet next time. The world, separated by half the world, what will they see in the future? is like Yanbei said to Sun Jian, I hope we can meet again in three or five years, but can they really meet again?

People always say all the good things when they leave, as if they will come back in the blink of an eye. But in fact, it was all a lie, and those who said goodbye would never come back in the end.

Even when I came back, everything was different from what it was before.

"Zhongqing, there is a sentence I don't know if I should ...... Forget it, I'll tell you, you have the right to listen to it, and you just know it in your heart. Cao Cao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally looked left and right and made up his mind and whispered to Yanbei: "I was very hostile to you at the beginning, if you pass through Jizhou, be careful." ”

"Yuan Benchu?" Yan Bei smiled dumbly, and said to Cao Cao: "Just because I stole the limelight of his Yuan League Master? ”

Cao Cao shook his head, as if Yan Bei's indifference displeased him, and said: "The original temperament is some, I shouldn't say bad things about him behind people's backs, the temperament of the egg tart is a bit wide and taboo, but I don't think it has anything to do with courting Dong...... It should be because of Han Fu, I heard that Xun Youruo, the original strategist, has been very close to Han Fu recently. ”

At first, Yanbei was indeed full of indifference, because he didn't think it was a big deal for him to be called the leader of the alliance, and their territory was not bordering, because it was too rash to start a war like a child.

But when Cao Cao mentioned Han Fu, the ridicule on Yan Bei's face dissipated.

"Yuan Shao wants Jizhou?"

Yan Bei's face was flushed with coldness, if he said so, Yuan Shao would indeed be hostile to him. That is Jizhou, which is still rich...... Who doesn't want it?

Han Fu is the head of Jizhou, Yanbei can easily garrison soldiers and horses north of the Yellow River, as long as it does not touch the root of Han Fu, a steady stream of grain and grass can supply his soldiers. Han Fu's respect for him was transformed into the fact that the army with the Yanzi flag could pass freely on this land, although there was no power to govern, but it was like Haoqiang, Jizhou was the land, the government was the land rent, and Han Fu was a tenant...... For him to think, the land was planted for him.

for he has soldiers.

Han Fu's benefits in Jizhou are huge for Yanbei.

But this disadvantage is also huge for Yuan Shao.

No matter how majestic Yuan Shao is, no matter how he appoints a Yuzhou assassin, he will appoint a Yuzhou assassin history, but his foundation is just the land of Bohai County. There is a way that the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, children know this truth, how can Yuan Shao not know?

Not to mention the huge benefits that Jizhou can bring him, Han Fu alone is in charge of Jizhou, which will make Yanbei easily let out the water of Bohai County with thousands of soldiers...... Even the coast can be wrapped tightly with warships.

Who can accept this kind of thing? No matter whether Yanbei does it or not, after all, there are only a few people like Han Fu who are both grateful and afraid of Yanbei.

Yuan Shao only has jealousy towards Yanbei, and this jealousy will precisely become the motive for hostility towards Yanbei.

Cao Cao's eyes were full of worry when he looked at Yan Bei, he didn't know if he was doing it right, Yan Bei was a friend who gave him charcoal in times of crisis, and Yuan Shao was his brother and his hair ...... For him, if they clash, it would be a betrayal, no matter where he helped.

"Meng De doesn't have to worry, as long as Yuan Benchu doesn't come to offend me, I won't hurt him."

Hearing Yan Bei say this, Cao Cao felt a little relieved, and he staggered for a long time, until everything was quiet, Cao Cao was drunk, and then he was sent back to the camp by the strategist called Xi Zhicai who he brought with him.

After Cao Cao left, Yanbei was also dizzy, but he didn't have the slightest desire to sleep, watching the soldiers clean up the mess, his expression was not good.

Sitting for half an hour, pushing away the soldiers who wanted to put on a big coat for him, Yanbei stumbled into the side tent, Guo Jia, who was reading under the lamp, looked up at Yanbei in surprise and asked: "Why is the general here, Cao Mengde is leaving, ...... go"

Yanbei, whose growth road is full of blood and ferocity, has known a truth since he was a child, among all the means of acting, it is always the most correct choice to take the lead in killing with one blow.

"Guo Fengxiao, it's time for a war." Yan Bei clenched his fists tightly, stared at a pair of drunken but red eyes in his heavy breathing, and said to Guo Jia: "Our enemy...... Yuan Benchu! ”
