Chapter 34: Gossip at the head of the city
Yuan Yun now likes to sit on the wall of the city wall and eat steamed buns, here the field of vision is wide, you can see a very distant place at a glance, the only trouble is the sunlight reflected by the snow, very dazzling, so after observing the camp of the Jingzhou army for a while, he has to lower his head to deal with a bun.
Originally, eating steamed buns here was a very freehand thing, but with the arrival of Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan, this enjoyment became an endless noise, as long as these two people appeared, they would never stop talking nonsense, just like two flies.
After opening Xiahou Nan's hand that was about to grab the bun, Yuan Yuncai frowned and said: "A box can only hold twenty gunpowder bullets, this is an iron rule set before, you actually loaded more than thirty pieces, don't you want to live?" ”
Xiahou Nan couldn't help but pouted when he saw the buns in front of him, and after hearing Yuan Yun's words, he replied: "Isn't this to be able to transport an extra batch of supplies, before Brother Cao Ang took away most of the trucks in Luoyang, we can only load more in this way, you see that as soon as we came this time, we instantly filled the gap in the scarcity of gunpowder ammunition here, Brother Yuan should thank us." ”
Xu Yi just put down the telescope in his hand at this time, and when he heard Xiahou Nan say this, he also smiled and said: "On the way here, we try to avoid bumps, so it's not a big problem. ”
After speaking, Xu Yi grabbed a handful of white snow on the wall stack, cleaned his hands, and then grabbed a bun, and then took a bite hard, Xiahou Nan on the side saw that Yuan Yun did not stop Xu Yi this time, and immediately reacted, so he also learned to wash his hands with white snow, and began to eat the bun in an instant.
After Xu You ate a bun, he continued: "I heard that you made a mess of Liu Qi's camp before, it must be very exciting, but it's a pity that we didn't see it, now it's okay, since we are all here, the next time we launch an attack on Liu Qi, our brothers must be the first." ”
Yuan Yun also felt a little full at the moment, so he touched his stomach and said, "Since you are all here, I will do my best to take you around the city wall." ”
Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan saw that Yuan Yun did not object to them leading the troops to the battle, and immediately followed with great joy, and the two of them were still gesturing with the short-barreled pistol in their hands as they walked, completely with a face that they wanted to fight in front of the battle.
"Luoyang has now been transformed into military manufacturing, how is the output controlled?" Yuan Yun walked in front and asked casually.
Xiahou Nan hurriedly replied: "I guess no one will believe it when I say it, the output of the Luoyang workshop is simply amazing, the daily output of armor and serious diseases, bullets and rifles, I can't count them, even if I see it with my own eyes, I feel very incredible, and the Luoyang made with all my strength is so terrible." ”
Xu Yi nodded and said: "The gunpowder bombs transported this time are only three days of output, and these three days alone are enough to pull more than fifty trucks, this production capacity is really staggering, and the follow-up baggage supplement has changed the way for me, after Luoyang was produced, it immediately began to be transported to Wancheng, and then guarded by General Cao Hong, and then gradually transported out of Wancheng, one batch was given to us here, and the other batch was sent to Yang Aruo's Xia Village, so that time can be greatly saved." ”
When Yuan Yun heard Xu Yi say this, he immediately stretched out a thumbs up and praised it, making Wancheng a transit station is indeed a very good idea, so that Luoyang's military products will not be squeezed, and it will be more than one stone.
After admiring Xu Yi, Yuan Yun asked again: "Mr. Xu You's investigation of the kidnapped craftsman, has there been a result?" ”
Xiahou Nan shook his head and replied: "This matter was still in progress when we came, but it has been determined that these craftsmen should have been kidnapped by people from the south, in addition to Jingzhou's participation, the Sun family in Yangzhou also intervened, Mr. Xu You also caught a woman, this person had come to Luoyang with the name Sun Shangxiang before, so he was recognized, and now Mr. Xu You plans to start from her, and then gradually expand the investigation." ”
When he heard Sun Shangxiang's name, Yuan Yun suddenly smiled bitterly, he thought that this woman had kidnapped him for ten years, but later found that he couldn't do anything, so he became honest, and he didn't want the other party to kidnap him Yuan Yun couldn't, so he began to try his best to kidnap some junior craftsmen, none of them seemed to be fuel-efficient lamps.
Xu You waited until Xiahou Nan finished speaking, and then continued: "Mr. Xu You said that although the craftsmen arrested by the other party are all apprentices or junior personnel, if these people are gathered, they can still find out a lot of our secrets about armament manufacturing, especially forging a piece, I am afraid that many of our secret methods have been leaked." ”
Yuan Yun nodded and said: "I have determined this a few days ago, the other party has now created a batch of good armor, which is very similar to our previous ones, they are all composed of fish scale armor pieces, even the stitches of the armor pieces are exactly the same." ”
Xiahou Nan was taken aback and said, "They built it so quickly?" How could Brother Yuan know that the other party had this kind of armor? ”
Yuan Yun smiled when he heard this, and then pointed to the outside of the city wall under his feet at this moment and said, "You can see it from below." ”
Following what Yuan Yun pointed out, Xiahou Nan was the first to stick out his head and look under the city wall, and instantly he had a feeling of vomiting, only to see that the city wall was full of corpses frozen together, if it weren't for the very cold weather, it would definitely be stinky.
Yuan Yun glanced at Xiahou Nan's reaction, and then returned to the previous topic, "Don't you want to lead the troops to the battle?" I can tell you that the Jingzhou soldiers are not mud legs, these soldiers have received good military training, and their combat power is definitely not low, plus Liu Bei seems to have started brainwashing in Jingzhou a long time ago, when these Jingzhou soldiers fight, they are not ordinary and don't die, you have to deal with these people. ”
Xiahou Nan shuddered suddenly, then smiled bitterly, and said: "It seems that I was not born to lead the troops into battle, just looking at this large area of dead corpses, I feel my legs and stomach tremble, although it is very unproductive, but I still think that I am more suitable for escorting grain and grass, preparing for logistics or something." ”
Yuan Yun was very satisfied with Xiahou Nan's answer, because if he let this gentleman go to fight in front of the battle, he would definitely die in battle, if he killed Xiahou Xuan's eldest son here, it would be difficult to explain it in the future, so it is estimated that he would take the opportunity of visiting the city to let this thing see the tragedy of the battlefield, and now it seems that the effect is very good.
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders disapprenosingly at this time, and then said to Yuan Yun: "Xiahou Nan is better to escort the grain and grass baggage, so that I can go into battle to kill the enemy, now a few of us have the most military merits, this time he went to Chang'an with Brother Cao Ang, and when he fought with Liu Bei, he will inevitably make more contributions, I don't want to be overwhelmed by him later, so this time I have to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Yuan Yun heard Xu Yi say this, and sighed secretly in his heart, because he didn't want Xu Yi to go to the battle array, although this goods were raised as cattle by his father since he was a child, and all kinds of martial arts were not left behind, but it was really hard to say if he was in the battle array, even if the martial arts were superb, there were times when he missed, and if this goods died, it would be a difficult thing to explain.
"Very good, there is one less officer in the machine gun battalion now, Xu Yi, when you were in Luoyang, didn't you often waste bullets and play with those Gatlings, now it's just time for you to lead these machine gunners, they are really stupid in my opinion, they have such a good weapon, but they look completely dazed, they get angry when they look at it, you give me a good training." In the end, Yuan Yun could only choose a relatively safe unit for Xu Yi, and I believe that this product must be very happy, because he likes to shoot.
Sure enough, Xu Yi immediately thanked him with joy, and then began to ask about the machine gun battalion, Yuan Yun was also very patient to explain to him, and selected the essence of some of the machine gun use knowledge recorded in his mind and gradually said it, which benefited Xu Yi a lot.
"I'm divorced." Xiahou Nan suddenly burst out with a sentence, which immediately made Yuan Yun stunned.
Xiahou Nan was surprised when she saw Yuan Yun, so she hurriedly explained: "It's not a lady to meet people, the reason why Yudie's slut is unwilling to live in Luoyang with me is entirely because she just likes to be surrounded by many sons and brothers, so she is very popular in Xudu, my old servant in Xudu didn't dare to tell me anything until I divorced this slut, I was in Xudu's house, there were guests every night, and my brother's green hat was quite thick." ”
Xu Yi saw that Xiahou Nan was a little sad again, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "It's just a concubine, and no one's concubine has some rumors...... Uh, that's not right, Brother Yuan's family is quite well-behaved, so how can we be taught a few hands, now my mother is giving me a concubine, and I am already worried. ”
Yuan Yun touched his chin and pondered, and finally replied lightly: "You must really give love ......"
"Pull it down!"
"It's so disgusting, when I heard this from Brother Yuan, I almost vomited."
"Yes, it's disgusting, I still love it, I love a big-headed ghost......"
Seeing Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan laughing there, Yuan Yun sighed secretly, this is actually the fundamental reason why Xiahou Nan is green, but men in this era are too self-centered, and what they say to pay and understand each other will simply be regarded as a neuropathy.
Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun could only pull back the topic and ask, "How is Yudie now?" ”
Xiahou Nan snorted heavily, and said: "What else, now that I have been divorced by Lao Tzu, I am still a little restrained, and now I have gone to the White Lotus Temple on the outskirts of Xudu to become a monk, and I have also cut off contact with those sons and brothers of Xudu, if she doesn't do this, hum ......."
Xiahou Nan snorted for a long time, and didn't say anything about it, from which it can be seen that this product is still a little reluctant, but it's no wonder, after all, Yudie does have enough capital to attract men, and it is normal for Xiahou Nan to be obsessed with it.
At this moment, Yuan Yun saw Xu Yi making a look, so he immediately diverted the topic and said: "Since they are all on the battlefield, let's not talk about the love of children, haven't you seen Lao Tzu's family, Cao Jie is also like her sister Qinghe'er, she just got married and conceived a child, but Lao Tzu went on the expedition, damn, think about it carefully, it seems that when each of my children was born, Lao Tzu was on the battlefield, and he was unlucky." ”
Xiahou Nan also shook off his troubles at this time, and then laughed loudly, and said: "Men should naturally make contributions to the battle array, women are just the best, that needs to cost those gods, and good men should ......."
Xiahou Nan was so long-minded about his ambitions, and walked to the front alone, leaving only Yuan Yun and Xu Yi with a wry smile.
After Xiahou Nan walked out, Xu Yi lowered his voice and said: "The reason why Yudie later relented, in fact, the biggest credit is that Queen Fu pushed behind the scenes, she knew that Xiahou Nan and Brother Yuan were brothers, so she sent the palace uncle in charge to deal with the matter, and when I heard that, the two maids who had been close to Yudie for many years were killed on the spot, and then Yudie became a monk." ”
When Yuan Yun heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, it seems that this Queen Fu finally figured it out, what she proposed to her before was indeed implemented, which made Cao Cao lower her murderous intentions, and now her father has even entered Cao Cao's core, so it seems that their Fu family is saved, as for what will happen in the future, according to historical records, anyway, Liu Xie's fate is not bad, although no son of heaven has done it, but the second half of his life has to eat and drink.
When Yuan Yun was pondering the queen, he suddenly heard a horn sound, and then he saw that the camp of the Jingzhou army on the opposite side began to be lively, a regiment of infantry phalanx gradually formed, some rangers were also sent out, and a new battle was close at hand.
