"Let the soldiers pull out the camp, Zhen's carriages and horses are all set, is that matter ordered?"

Under the gate of the camp, Yanbei instructed Gao Ran and the others, "Leave a few riders and buy some gifts in the city, not too valuable, but be sure to send all the officials up and down the state capital to ...... There is no need to send anything else to Liu Gong's Taiwei Mansion, just send 20 horses of Shu brocade and silk silk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"No."

"Bing Cao and Shu Cao are engaged in Xian Yu Auxiliary, Xian Yu Yin, and lead two Xianbei horses over." Yan Bei squinted his eyes and pondered, "Just let the brothers under your subordinates watch the rest, and after ordering all this, you will set off immediately." ”

"No!"

Although Yanbei said, he will leave immediately, and he will leave now. But it is not easy to move people and horses lightly after all, and it has to be forcibly pulled away by Yan Bei's personal will. For a time, dozens of knights rushed to the inside and outside of the city, in the countryside, some people collected carts and horses, some people carried assets, and the whole camp was in chaos.

By the time Zhen's chariots and horses slowly galloped from the city, the sun was approaching evening.

"Yan Jun, how urgent things should be done today...... What a faux pas! "Zhen Yao doesn't feel comfortable enough to sit on the ox cart...... At present, no one in the Zhen family has an official body, and he has no power to ride in a carriage, and he is even more indignant because he was called out by Yanbei's soldiers from the Jixian County Courtyard where Wang Song temporarily lived, and he was angry to load the car and transport the goods, "Treat a big man like Wang Jun, why don't you say goodbye, didn't my brother say that he would leave tomorrow?" ”

Zhen Yao's face was full of frivolous expression, but it was Zhen Zhang's family in the back who hugged the youngest Xiao Mi'er of Zhen's Mansion and nodded to Yan Bei, which was regarded as a greeting. The old lady thought much simpler than Zhen Yao, and now that their Zhen Mansion was tied to the leader of the rebel army earlier, they naturally depended on him for everything, "Ah Yao, since the general wants to leave today, then let's leave today...... One day earlier to Liaodong, one day earlier. ”

"Let's go today, sit down, I'll talk to you later." Yan Bei smiled and patted Zhen Yao's shoulder, he said that he wanted to treat Zhen Yao as a younger brother, that is, he really wanted to regard Zhen Yan's younger brother as a younger brother, and he would not be annoyed by this matter at all, so he turned his face and walked to the side and said, "Zijing, can you do me a favor?" Divide your two teams of riders, watch over the convoy, and run away with a song of people and horses, maybe you can't take care of the carriage and horses, and then you ask the rider to report to me if there is anything. ”

He saw that although he was dressed but had a strong figure, he was matched by the victory and defeat of the six Bo under Gao Ran, not to mention that he had taken Luoyang as a capable person, so he naturally treated him more kindly. In fact, this is nothing to do, even if the five hundred horses are spread out, he Yanbei is also firmly in the Chinese army, where can he be far away from the Zhen Mansion?

I didn't think about it so much, when I even answered the promise and jumped off the car with a sword and left. Yan Bei ordered people to bring horses, and recruited horsemen to escort the convoy, and then turned the horse to the place he wanted to go most.

At the end of the convoy, Zhen Jiang rode on the red horse with his head drooped and paced slowly, his bright eyes in the past seemed to have not woken up, looking for something interesting on the ground, and he never looked at it.

Yan Bei hit the horse all the way with a chuckle, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"Ahh No, who's looking for you? ”

Yan Bei thought that his sudden speech would startle Zhen Jiang, but he didn't. Zhen Jiang had already secretly raised his head just now and glanced at it several times while he was not paying attention, and he already knew that he would beat the horse over. At this time, he raised his little head and pretended that nothing had happened, "What are you looking for?" ”

Yan Bei looked at Zhen Jiang with a smile for a long time, until he saw her cheeks flush with shame, and then asked softly, "So...... Leave? ”

The soldiers and horses are all yours, what do you ask me to do?

Zhen Jiang glanced at him, and then lowered his head and made a small voice like a mosquito humming, "Hmm." ”

Although the sound was small, Yan Bei heard it clearly, and when he heard the words, he looked a little happier than Liu Yu's summons to clear the blame, and the legs clamped the horse's belly and pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves high as if it knew people's intentions, stood up and threw its body back, and the horse's tail swept the loess on the ground and turned its head to make a sighing sound.

Yan Bei raised his right arm on horseback and clenched his fist, and shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Let's go, let's go back to Liaodong!" ”

"Roar!"

Five hundred elite riders in bright armor heard the general's order, they grabbed the reins, and the swallow-shaped banners were spread in the wind, and in the noise, these skilled riders opened the way with spears, and at a very fast speed sprinkled scouts on the official road and galloped forward to find out the road, and then the remaining soldiers and horses walked away in a row of four horses on the official road...... In just a short moment, the meaning of the name Yanbei was highlighted.

In his eyes, even the most elite riders of Zhang Yan's subordinates among the Black Mountain thieves could not be as strict with military law as Yan Bei's subordinates.

Even the current Han army is not as good as this rebel army.

This made him look forward to going to Liaodong even more...... He is not Zhen Yao, he only thinks about revitalizing the family business. Lianzijing has no family business, all he wants is a place where he can show his talents in this era.

As for whether Yanbei is a rebel? In his opinion, this has nothing to do with it, don't say that Yan Beiyan is attached to the state capital, even if he is not attached, what can he do? Luoyang has become a fighting ground for high-ranking officials and nobles to fight for power and profit, at least Yanbei is much stronger in his eyes than those shogunate scholars who call each other brothers and sisters one day before and draw their swords the next day.

It's also much more real.

……

It was night, and I walked forty miles in two hours, thanks to the large number of chariots and horses, and there were no foot soldiers to slow down the march.

Yan Bei and the others set up camp in the wilderness, the riders roamed beside the official road, and there were secret posts with strong crossbows in the forest.

In any era, the cavalry is a beast that devours money and food, if there are only 500 foot soldiers, the daily consumption of dry food is only 9 to 10 stones, but with the cavalry mounts, this number swells to 25 stones.

This is only the 500 cavalry in Yanbei, which has already consumed 3,000 catties of grain and grass per day. Counting his huge base of soldiers and horses, where he goes, he eats nothing, which is the proper meaning.

This is also a big reason why Yan Bei is anxious at the moment, he needs to feed too many people, and taking the land of Liaodong is only the first step, and the next thing is to find a way to solve the livelihood...... Otherwise, according to the calculations of the frustrated professor, before the harvest in Liaodong this year, his soldiers and horses will have to reduce the amount of food, which will probably last for about a month, and even if there is a new harvest of grain, by next summer, they will face a whole season of food shortage.

It's okay to save food for a month, but it's okay to run out of food for the whole summer?

No one can accept it.

Yanbei took Gao Ran and Lu Yi to patrol the camp at night, and it was the turn of the soldiers who kept vigil to pull around the bonfire one by one, and greeted Yanbei when they saw Yanbei coming, Yanbei also chatted with everyone and then said goodbye and left, looked for the camp roughly, and said a word or two to each soldier, Yanbei returned to his sleeping place and beckoned his cronies to sit down.

"The state capital opened a mutual market with foreign tribes in Shanggu County, in addition, the salt and iron merchant market in Yuyang County, the Wuhuan and Saiwai Xianbei of the subject country, and Goguryeo outside the country...... You help me think of what we can do in exchange for food. "Yanbei is now at a low point, too many problems are drilled in my head and I don't have a clue, just solve them one by one, "The affairs of Liaodong can't all be pressed on the shoulders of Fujun, we also have to find a way to make some efforts." ”

Gao Lan Yiyi didn't know why Yanbei suddenly said one, and he didn't know what to say for a while. As for Zhen Yao and Zhao Zhao, they don't know the situation at all, so naturally there is nothing to say.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yan Bei had no choice but to take care of himself and said: "We have been fighting for a few years, although Yan didn't ask, but all the generals have some money in their hands, Gongsun has a lot of land, and now it is all Yan's, I will divide those lands into several parts, and when I return to Liaodong, I will distribute them to you according to the merits of the past two years, and then give each captain one hundred private soldiers, fifty military horses, and twenty Qu Chang." If it continues in this way, it will probably reduce the number of more than 1,000 soldiers. These soldiers need you to support me. ”

"The veterans who were injured in the battle and want to be relieved of their armor, go back and ask, it is estimated that there are hundreds to thousands, and these people will be properly settled. You can use them to form three merchant pawns, one of which is stationed in Shanggu Xingguan City; One goes to Xuansu, Xianbei, and Liaodong private market; The last one went to Goguryeo and bartered. Probably two tunes are used...... Estimate how many more people will remain. ”

Yanbei's biggest problem now is that he doesn't know anything about the size of his power. He didn't know how many people he had, how many weapons he had, or how much money he had.

He only knew that there was a rough idea, there were a lot of casualties after several major battles, and now there may be more than 10,000 elite soldiers. The wounded and unable to fight again were not placed, and there were still two or three thousand people still raised in Xiangping. In terms of weapons, he only knew that he had more than 6,000 war horses, but he didn't know how many horses he had injured and how many he had gained in the battle with Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan. As for the money and food, he has always been frustrated, and he doesn't know very well, only that it is about 1,500 gold.

But the mess is piled up in the Xiangping Treasury. There are artifacts brought back in Xianbei, and there are plundering during the siege of the city...... It's too cumbersome, and Yanbei hasn't checked it carefully.

When he returned to Liaodong this time, he had too many things to do.

"If the general counts as such, more than 1,000 soldiers will be killed in the various divisions, and the wounded soldiers and caravans will be placed, and there will be 2,000 soldiers to be lent to Suli...... Perhaps there will only be six to seven thousand soldiers left in Liaodong. Lu Yi said this, and also frowned with a distressed look, "General, go back and give your subordinates a register as soon as possible, none of us can figure out how many people there are now, we can only calculate an approximation." ”

"yes." Gao Ran also took over the conversation, "It's too messy, some soldiers have been transferred around, and I can't figure out which song I'm in until now." ”

Yan Bei knew that they didn't know anything now, and it was nonsense to discuss and discuss, so he had to close his eyes in annoyance, wave his hand and say, "Forget it, let's go back to Liaodong!" ”
