Chapter 64: Insatiable Desire [Happy Tanabata]

What are the princes today?

With military power and governing power, the straw dog can call himself a prince.

For these people in the world, the most important thing is not the territory, but the military power. The more powerful the army, the easier it is to gain territory.

In today's chaos and the number of displaced people, it is easy for soldiers to come, but the most difficult thing is the source of armor and blades.

Not everyone has enough iron ore, and hundreds or thousands of skilled craftsmen are a luxury for many, not to mention the need for financial resources that are beyond the reach of others. In the whole world, there are only a few people who can have these three points at the same time, but there are only a few people such as Nanyang Yuan Shu.

But coincidentally, Yanbei, a lowly Liaodong cub, has them all!

He has the iron ore mine of Anping Township and the forging furnace under the mountain to produce iron ingots, he has thousands of craftsmen under the leadership of Zhang Leigong to make weapons and armor to deal with the war, he has thousands of hectares of private land in Liaodong and Liaodong taxes that are close to 20,000 hectares, not to mention that he will control the money and grain taxes of the entire Youzhou in the future.

Even if you don't count the Yuyang Tiesi who has not yet been controlled in his hands, he will not lack blades and armor, not to mention the self-made sandalwood bow that is gradually flourishing in Lelang County and the strong bow that Goguryeo pays tribute to every year.

There is no one in the world who has such a heroic spirit, and can give tens of thousands of blades and armor to others with a wave of his hand.

But Yanbei can.

Soon after the discussion of Jixian County ended, the neighing horsemen rushed to Liaodong and Youbeiping, and ordered Gao Ran to recruit troops on the spot in Youbeiping and the two counties of Liaoxi, and Lu Yi made up the troops in the two counties of Liaodong and Lelang, and sent the people to Guangyang County first.

In addition, Lu Yi also received a secret order from Yanbei, and after all the baggage arrived in Guangyang County, Lu Yi led his troops and horses to attack the Wu Fort of the Yuyang Wang.

Yanbei has been thinking about whether to give Wang Song a way to live. After Youzhou Xuansu and Liaoxi Gongsun were removed one after another, no one in the entire Youzhou could be the enemy of Yanbei, and Wang Song raised his tail except for the time when Gongsun Du raised his troops, and he was usually very well-behaved and never bared his teeth towards Yanbei.

Therefore, Yanbei once wanted to let Wang Song live.

But after talking with Guo Jiami about the measures against the war in Jizhou, Yanbei firmly decided to cut down the grass and eradicate the Yuyang Wang clan.

If Yanbei's front foot is at the junction of Youji and Gongsun Zhan, and Wang Song's hind foot is in chaos in the state, it can directly cut off the connection between Guangyang County and Liaodong County, and even cut off their retreat...... Yanbei can't have no way out.

Jizhou is not important, and Youzhou is not important; It doesn't matter if the northern hegemony is the dominant one, the world is dominant, or even what the general trend is, victory or defeat.

Yanbei wants to live, but he is not afraid of death.

In the first year of Zhongping, he dared to go straight to Jizhou with his brother to join the Yellow Turban, if he had nothing but his life at that time, it was nothing, Zhongping abandoned everything in four years to assassinate Tao Qian, and later put down the low-hanging fruit of the king of southern Hebei and went north to die for Zhang Chun...... Yan's son never lacks the courage to start over.

The troubled times gave the young people born in poverty the courage to poke a hole in the sky, which is of course the joy of being born at the right time, but in the final analysis, people are even more involuntary in the troubled times.

What he pursues is wealth and power, but in the final analysis, it is just an innate inner insecurity at work, and he tries his best to survive.

If given a reason, he would still be willing to die for the realization of his self-worth and loyalty far beyond his life, but without this reason, he would still be governed by the anxiety of seeking advantage and avoiding harm.

The back road cannot be broken.

Wang Song, you must die!

In this year, after Dong Zhuo's death, although his stragglers made concerted efforts to enter Chang'an, they did not continue to dominate the prestige of the Xiliang rebels Ma Teng and Han Sui. Li Dao Guo Yan is in power, and many people in the world have the same opinion as Yanbei, but they think that it is just a few small people who have hit the big luck and turned over.

What is it like? It's like Yan Bei, who was still the captain of the Wuhuan school, suddenly entered Luoyang one day with 100,000 Wuhuan soldiers...... Who doesn't think this is a joke?

This era always continues to repeat the paradox of history, Dong Zhuo, who looks at the world, has surpassed the status of his predecessor Huo Guang when he was alive, and is attacking towards the road of power and ministers that has never been seen in the Han Dynasty for 400 years, but suddenly he was stabbed to death by Wang Yun, a scholar of Bingzhou, who was single-handedly promoted, and Lu Bu, a well-trusted warrior of Bingzhou, and more than 100,000 troops collapsed. If this is not a sudden change in form, the four Zhonglang generals have different styles, and they directly sentenced the Liangzhou army that was active after Emperor Ling to dominate the world.

Xu Rong, who was brave in battle, turned against him, and Duan Xuan, who had a ghost in his heart, did not move, not to mention that the arrogant Dong Yue was seized power by Niu Fu, who was bent on going his own way, because of divination.

The once-prosperous Liangzhou Army was knocked to the bottom and fell apart with the death of its leader Dong Zhuo.

But by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Jia Xu, Zhang Ji, these little people reunited in order to survive, and even besieged Chang'an City to force Wang Yun to scare away Lu Bu, people thought that this was the last glory of the Liangzhou Army, who knew that Li Dao and others simply relied on this east wind to enter the court, and instantly held the Son of Heaven hostage and became a rare magnate in the world.

Immediately afterwards, the spoils after the victory were divided, and a situation was formed in which everyone was happy.

Han Sui, the leader of the rebel army who led the army to aid Dong Zhuo, a native of Liangzhou, was named the general of Zhenxi, and led most of the rebels back to Jincheng to continue to realize his political ideal of 'Liangzhou affairs, Liangren rule';

The northwest is uneven, and on the other side of the towering Qinling Mountains, Yizhou is also unstable. After Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he attacked Haoqiang internally, and relied on Zhang Lu to cut off the road in Hanzhong externally, build a public opinion to plan to become the emperor, and took the opportunity to recall his son Liu Zhang, who was staying in Chang'an, because of illness.

After Sun Jian's death, Yuan Shu, who swept through Huainan, lost his right hand and left arm, but he still had the confidence to suppress the heroes. After Yuan Shao's desire to set up Liu Yu as the emperor caused a rift in the brother's wall, Yuan Shu wanted to get rid of Yuan Shao's ally Cao Cao, and attacked Cao Cao together with the Yanzhou assassin Shi Jinshang appointed by the imperial court, and was defeated in Fengqiu. In order to befriend the southern overlord, Li Wei, who was in charge of the imperial court, sent Ma Riyan to hold the festival to confer the title of General Yuan Shuzuo, fake the festival, and enter the Marquis of Yang Zhai...... However, did the naïve Li Dao think that this would satisfy the bold Yuan Highway?

Yuan Shu snatched Ma Riyan's talisman for his own use, imprisoned him and did not return him.

Then, Yuan Gongzi sent someone to take the scepter that the imperial court had brought to him to make an official official, with generous gifts and forged official seals, and went to Youzhou by boat...... It's time to be an official!
