Chapter 10: The Drums Beat in Harmony
In less than half an hour, Liu Yu gave Yanbei a rough look. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although it was only the second time they met, his senses for Yanbei were completely different.
The disgust is gone, but there is more trust...... Trust this thing is mutual, he can feel it, Yanbei trusts him.
He understands that maybe the past that Yan Bei said is not unreserved, but it is detailed enough. Because Yanbei not only said what was on those books, but also said what was not on the books.
Moreover, those past made Liu Yu feel that Yanbei was a usable person.
In Liu Yu's eyes, this person is like a sword with two edges, on the one hand, his invincible bravery, and on the other hand, his vicious past and the ranger heart of seeking pleasure without fear of the law.
Just like his past, he has a reputation in Xianbei and can turn things into money there. He also has enough understanding of the Wuhuan people, and he has become a county leader by robbing their horses. This person is very suitable to be the captain of the Wuhuan who also leads Xianbei.
Liu Gongruo asked his opinion on the Jizhou Rebellion...... With all due respect, Jizhou can't be delayed. Yan Bei arched his hand and said: "My subordinates heard that Bing Cao Xian Yuyin once led the Youzhou army in the southwest of Zhuo County to reject the Black Mountain thieves outside the state border, you should have read the battle report, right?" Is there a large number of thieves, but the combat power is low, and there are no soldiers, armor, horses, and forage...... No, they don't have horses at all, and they don't even have much food. ”
Liu Yu took a cursory glance at the battle report, he only knew that Xian Yuyin had won the battle, and the Youzhou army had few casualties but brought back many heads...... Besides? He didn't know anything about the war.
Liu Yu doesn't like military affairs, and he doesn't like it since he was a child. Although he has learned to sword and archery, sword and archery do not mean to fight, and even if he can fight, it does not mean that he likes to fight.
So he doesn't understand and doesn't read.
As Yanbei said, he, Liu Bo'an, is also a good general.
Liu Yu lowered his face, looked at Yanbei, and asked, "How do you know this?" ”
"There are hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain thieves, but there are actually only more than 100,000. And among these more than 100,000 people, there are six or seven out of ten who are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the people who can really fight, hey, only forty or fifty thousand. Yan Bei said and laughed and dismembered Montenegro like a cocoon, "Forty or fifty thousand people are divided into various large and small departments, and the thief Zhang Yan is powerless to restrain him, so that although the Black Mountain thieves are numerous, they have become a rabble of scattered sand." This kind of rebel army is not like me...... There are few people but they are fine. In the eyes of their subordinates, they are like a few children with horns, weak and powerless. ”
Liu Yu's eyebrows jumped, there are few people and fine? Should you say such a thing? Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 horsemen and white horses are righteous, and they are really few and fine, and as a result, you will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
Are you still small and fine?
"Since you think the Black Mountain Thieves are a group of horned children, why can't you drag them out? They have no soldiers and no food, wouldn't it be good to spend a few more days? Dragged on until winter, the thieves were defeated without a fight. ”
Yanbei shook his head, "Liu Gongda can drag it, but how can the people and fields in Jizhou be dragged out?" There is no grain in the treasury in the city, and the Montenegrin army can survive until the summer corn harvest by robbing the people. After the grain was harvested, the iron spearheads of the craftsmen were quickly built...... Weapons are more important to the rebels than food, they will not panic if they have a knife in their hands, Sizhou has eight locks, Qingxu is also in trouble with Wuhuan, Youzhou is becoming more and more prosperous under your governance, you say, where will the Black Mountain thieves attack? ”
"If they have weapons, the autumn harvest, they will definitely go north, now they are a plate of scattered sand, what if they join hands again for the autumn harvest grain in Youzhou? They have suffered together in Montenegro for several years, and although they are now motivated by wealth and attack each other, once they have a common purpose, it is not difficult to join forces again, right? ”
Yan Beiyue said that Liu Yu was more frightened. It's just that Liu Yu doesn't know, but Yan Bei knows it very well. Not to mention that what he said was groundless speculation, the thieves in Montenegro may not have consciously gathered all the craftsmen together to build weapons like him, and even if they really united, they would be easily provoked.
"That'...... According to Erlang's opinion, Montenegro should be crusaded as soon as possible? ”
"As soon as possible, but not soon. The beginning of spring in Montenegro to Jizhou should affect the spring planting in many places, if the harvest of grain is less, they will also fight for food, this time, should start in July. If you are willing to do so, your subordinates will ask for an order to let 500 horses enter Jizhou, and within two months, they will find out the situation of the thieves in Montenegro, and lead 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the secluded ...... Before the first snow, Jizhou can be determined! ”
Liu Yu had already reflected at this time, even if the Black Mountain thieves were as dangerous as Yanbei said, they could be used to suppress and appease the rebellion like quelling the Erzhang rebellion, and it was not a big threat. However, he didn't plan to talk to Yan Bei about this matter of suppressing and appeasing, so he nodded and said: "Wait for the matter of sending troops first, but you can release the probe horse first, and the form of investigation is always good." ”
When Yanbei heard Liu Yu say this, he felt that this matter was a bit eyebrow-raising, eighty percent of Liu Yu still had to discuss it in the state capital, and when Wei Yu helped him speak, even if it was nine out of ten. Immediately replied: "No! ”
……
Liu Yu stayed in Yanbei to eat in the mansion, and after the meal, he asked him some things about Xianbei and Wuhuan, and he was not released from the mansion until after noon.
After coming out of the Taiwei Mansion, Yanbei asked the riders who followed him to convey the progress of the Black Mountain incident to the camp, and asked Lu Yi to pass on the frustration of the Yongnu garrison, and selected five hundred scouts to go to Jizhou, and brought back the news of the Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou within two months.
He himself led the horse to Zhen's house with a few horsemen.
It was late May, and the weather was getting warmer, and the leather two-gear armor covered my body for a while, and my heart was dry. When Yanbei arrived at Zhen's house, the busy man Zhen Yao had already gone out again, leaving a female dependent and a few children at home, Yanbei bowed to Zhen's mother, and asked for warmth, Zhen Zhang's family knew that he would move his family to Liaodong in a few days, although he couldn't help but be grateful to Yanbei, he was still a little worried in his heart...... Liaodong is too poor.
After some politeness, Yan Bei explained his intention to Zhen's mother, he still owed Zhen Jiang a spring outing, and wanted to take Zhen Jiang out for a walk, so as to relieve his inner depression.
When Yanbei came out of the hall, he happened to see Zhen Jiang holding a bucket of essence and going to feed the little red horse that Zhen Yan gave her two years ago. Now this horse is not small, and it looks a bit like a divine horse.
Yan Bei leaned on the doorpost and watched for a while, put on the halter of the red horse by himself, put on the saddle, and asked casually, "Did San Lang tell you?" Come back to Liaodong with me tomorrow. ”
"General Yan." When Zhen Jiang saw Yanbei, he instinctively felt that cramped, and was about to nod his head, but when he saw that Yanbei didn't just ask her, he directly took the red horse and walked out, and couldn't help but stomp his feet and said urgently: "Eh, you, why are you leading my horse!" ”
Zhen Jiang was so anxious that Qiong's nose wrinkled, his beautiful eyes widened, and he pointed at Yan Bei with an endless look. Yan Bei saw it in his eyes, and he only felt joy in his heart, as if the scene of the peerless elegant little lady with a bow and arrows outside Lunu City reproduced that day.
"Yan has led the horse for you, what else do you want to ...... Where's your bow and arrows? Yanbei looked back, pretending to be serious without sorrow or joy on his face, "When I was entertained by the Zhen family in Jizhou, I always have to do some landlord friendship in Youzhou today." Go get your bow and arrows, and I'll take you out of town. ”
"Huh." Zhen Jiang turned around and walked a few steps, only then did he react, pause and twist his body and said, "Why do I want to take a bow and arrow, why do I want to go out with you!" ”
Yan Bei smiled, looking like he had succeeded in his plan, and he didn't speak, he led the horse and walked out, and the sound of a frenzy came from outside the courtyard wall after passing the gate, "If you don't take the bow and arrow, I'll take the horse away!" ”
This horse bandit!
Zhen Jiang ran all the way to say goodbye to his mother, leaving a few younger sisters at home to let them close the door and wait for Zhen Yao to come back, took out the dusty bow and arrow chords from the innermost of the stacked boxes in the yard, and hurriedly went out to run with good luck on his face, but saw Yan Bei tilting his head in the yard with a bad smile and caressing the red horse's neck for a long time, not even on the horse's back.
He knew he was going to come out!
"Leave Yiwu here to serve the old lady and take care of the Zhen Mansion." Yan Bei handed over the reins to Zhen Jiang, and left a team of horsemen, then took the remaining two horsemen to turn over and get on the horse, walked in front with Zhen Jiang, and easily installed the bow and strings that Zhen Jiang couldn't twist no matter what, played with a light bow and raised a horse whip with the horse slowly bumped on the bluestone road in Jixian County, looked around and said: "A Miao, guess what, where did Yan grow up?" ”
"Isn't it Liaodong?"
Zhen Jiang smiled secretly in his heart, this little problem also wants to stump me? Xi Luo said: "You don't know yet, your name has been spread all over Jixian County in the middle of the month, and any child in the township knows that you are from Liaodong." ”
Yan Bei was stunned, then shook his head and said: "Yan is from Xiangping, but he may not have grown up in Xiangping. ”
"I went out when I grew up in Xiangping until I was thirteen, and followed my brother and my third brother to the well. I've been to Goguryeo and Lelang, but that's nothing special, and I learned a lot of skills in Wuhuan. Later, he traveled almost all over Youzhou and Jizhou. Yanbei smiled, and they walked out of the gate of Jixian County, and the horse's hooves stepped on the loess feeling extremely steady, "I learned the ability to save my life in Xiangping, I learned to support myself outside the Saiwai, I honed my courage in Jizhou, and I got everything I had...... I was raised in the second state of Biansai. ”
"When I saw you in Jizhou, I was like a wayward child, but now I feel that you have grown up and become stronger." After leaving the city, the horses could run away, Yan Bei grabbed the reins suddenly, raised his arms and pointed north: "You and I race horses, see who runs to the hillside over there, where you can see my camp, I will take you to see!" ”
Zhen Jiang put away the light bow, condensed her eyebrows and puffed up, and ran out of the horse with a clear reprimand, she didn't think that she would fall behind in riding skills because she liked to shoot and hunt since she was a child, and immediately galloped out of the dust.
Yan Bei laughed in the back, beat the horse and left, although the speed of the horse was faintly faster than Zhen Jiang.
In the land of the Han family, there are not many people like him who have grown up on the backs of beasts, and at least until now, no one he knows has surpassed him in riding alone.
The two rode side by side, riding around with flags.
It's a good day.
