General Yan, return victorious!

The news that Yanbei was preparing to return the troops and horses in Jizhou was first brought to Youzhou Mansion by Zhao Yun, and then it was spread by several people engaged in Jixian County, Guangyang County, and Zhuo County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

People know that Yanbei is coming back!

This time, the people of Youzhou had a great change in their views of Yanbei, and when they knew that Yanbei was going to raise troops to fight against the Jizhou bandits, many people just disdainful disgust in their hearts. Most of them felt that Yanbei was going to break away from Youzhou, and they saw that the imperial court was now in decline, and they wanted to take this opportunity to return to Jizhou to open up the situation.

But the coffin sent back from Jizhou shattered all doubts.

Yanbei is back!

Like what he won, he raised troops to fight against thieves, defeated Montenegro, and returned to Youzhou.

What Yanbei did made the people of Youzhou feel honored.

Since entering Zhuo County, Yanbei's soldiers and horses have been welcomed by the people in various counties, which is not only because Yanbei's actions make the people proud, but more importantly, those who meet each other make his subordinates think that this battle is too worthwhile.

Serving Yanbei also makes them feel honored.

In mid-October, Yanbei to Jixian County.

A celebration platform has been set up outside Jixian County, and Liu Yu has made contributions to the generals.

Although everything was business as usual, and the people who were saluting outside the city were also very excited, Yan Bei still noticed that Liu Yu's face was not very good-looking.

There seem to be a lot of soldiers I brought back.

Out of Youzhou to fight, although there were several battles in a row, except for the battle that was raided outside Puyin City, which was a difficult victory, the soldiers were not killed or wounded. However, the reduced sergeants were recruited from Zhongshan and Changshan Township, not only to make up for the soldiers and horses, but also to have more.

The commander of 8,000 troops left Youzhou, and this time he came back not counting the men and horses of Luyi who stayed in Jizhou, so he brought back more than 7,600.

However, Yanbei didn't know that the reason why Liu Yu's complexion was not good-looking was not because there were more people in Yanbei...... Instead, Liu Yu found that Gongsun Zhan couldn't come back.

Some time ago, the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo promoted Liu Yu to the position of Great Sima, and still nominally led the world's soldiers and horses to control the state government, becoming the highest official under the nominal emperor in the world. General Fenwu should have been dispatched by Liu Yu, but now he sent a letter to Gongsun Chan three times, hoping that Gongsun Chan would lead the army back to Youzhou, but Gongsun Chan politely refused.

This made Liu Yu have a bad feeling in his heart, and his disgust for Gongsun Zan deepened.

It stands to reason that at the celebration banquet, Liu Yu should toast the soldiers returning from victory outside the city and get drunk with them to highlight Liu Yu's merits. Yanbei really thought so, he asked Liu Yu to toast the soldiers, but Liu Yu was not in the mood, and asked Yanbei to do it for him, but he stayed for a while and returned to the state capital.

After Liu Yu left, Wei Yu whispered between the wines in Yanbeixing: "Gong Liu asked you to drink less wine and go to the state capital to meet later." ”

Yan Bei nodded and put down the wine bottle.

Even if Liu Yu didn't look for him, he would go to see Liu Yu later. When he led the troops to fight abroad, he always had to report to the higher authorities what he had seen and heard in Youzhou this time, especially his understanding of the situation in the world, one was to inform Liu Yu that he hoped to exempt Liu Yu from the seeming fear of his Zhen Wu after setting fire, and the other was that he hoped that Liu Yu could give him some suggestions for the future.

He was a little confused.

"Brother Wei, take a step to speak." Wei You just sat back in front of the case, and saw Yan Bei walking to his side and inviting him to go out for a walk, and walked with Yan Bei to a place where there was no one outside the camp without knowing anything, only to hear Yan Bei ask in a low voice: "What's wrong with Liu Gong today, I see that his old man seems to be a little irritable." ”

"Don't worry, Liu Gong's worries are not for you." Wei You saw Yanbei's uneasiness, and explained to him: "After you left, when the autumn harvest came, the Wuhuan people were short of food, so they asked the state government for help, hoping that Liu Gong could give them some money and food so that they could survive this winter...... Liu Gongrende allocated 2,000 stone of grain and transported it from the warehouse in Jixian County to the subject country of Wuhuan. ”

Yan Bei nodded and listened to Wei You's words, what's there to be upset about, isn't it just to reward the Wuhuan people with 2,000 stone of grain, which can be taken out by anyone, right? Even if he took out so much grain from a county in Liaodong, it was not too much of a problem.

Besides, when he went out to fight, he ate in the wild, and left nearly 10,000 stones of grain and grass for the state capital.

Then he heard Wei You glance at Yanbei meaningfully and said: "The grain was sent to the Wuhuan country, and within a few days, a horse bandit attacked the camp of the Wuhuan people, robbed 700 stone of grain, and set a fire in the Wuhuan people's grain hoarding village, and burned it all. ”

"Burned out?" Yan Bei rubbed his forehead and was a little foggy, is there still such a wild person in Liaodong now? Then he found that Wei You was looking at him, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't look at me, Brother Wei, I fought with the Montenegrin army in Jizhou, where do I have time to go to Liaodong to snatch the Wuhuan people's grain, besides...... I don't like that bit of food, do I? ”

"I know it's not you, the state government knows that not only did you not rob the Wuhuan people, but also sent them food." Wei You looked at Yan Bei's appearance as if he really didn't know about it, so he put his heart down and said: "Gong Liu has been worrying about this matter recently, and it is estimated that you want to ask about this matter when I ask you to go to the state capital, so you can know it in your heart." ”

Yan Bei understood, nodded and said: "Speaking of which, I am also the captain of the Wuhuan Guard, and I am also responsible for my poor care when this Wuhuan person was robbed, I know, I will investigate this matter." ”

"Don't, I'm telling you this just to let you know in your heart, but not for you to check." As soon as Wei You heard that Yan Bei was planning to meddle in this matter, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry about this matter, now that you have made military achievements, it is estimated that it will not be long before you should be promoted and released, and you can't wade into this troubled water...... Liu Gong won't try to investigate, just let this matter pass. ”

Yanbei didn't know what was going on, but Wei You was clear about this matter in his heart. As soon as there was an accident, no one in the state capital suspected the matter to Yanbei, but from the beginning of Gongsun Ji, he detained this basin in Liaodong, and most of them knew what was going on inside.

There are only two places guarding the Wuhuan subject country, one is Liaodong County in Yanbei, and the other is Liaoxi County, Gongsun Zhan's hometown, so only these two groups of people around have the ability to rob the Wuhuan people. As long as they are normal people, they will think about Gongsun Zan and Yan Bei.

Everyone thinks about Gongsun Zhan...... Because Yanbei still uses the soldiers and horses of the Wuhuan people to fight in Jizhou, how can they rob the Wuhuan country?

"Then how can it be done, the Wuhuan Cliff King has also made a lot of contributions to my expedition this time, wouldn't it be chilling if I don't care about it...... Brother Wei. Yan Bei was stunned when he looked at Wei You's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped halfway through speaking, and the words on his lips also changed their meaning, and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Of course Wei You knew what was going on!

Although it is said that Yanbei and Gongsun Chan are both leading troops, Gongsun Chan also has a younger brother in western Liaoning who leads the troops and horses, so it is not surprising that he has done anything. What's more, Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Ji with the same surname have always been the few people in the state who advocate fighting against foreigners. Now the Wuhuan people have not only been robbed of grain, but also burned and stored grain.

Isn't it obvious what happened?

But can Wei Yu tell Yanbei about this kind of thing? He and Gongsun Zhan privately had a feud because of the original rebellion and counterinsurgency warfare, if there is anything to do with official affairs, the two powerful generals of Youzhou are fighting against the wall, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the people of Youzhou.

"You don't have to meddle in this matter, you and I have known each other for many years, and I won't harm you." Wei You said to Yan Bei solemnly: "This matter is not a big deal in the state capital, you don't have to worry about it." The key for you now is how to eliminate Liu Gong's jealousy of you...... You and Gongsun Bogui have too many soldiers and horses, you know? ”

Yan Bei felt that his intelligence was growing rapidly during these days, perhaps because as the lord of the generals under his command, he needed to think about more things, and the days out of Youzhou happened to make him meet some smart people.

It's easier to deal with smart people, that's bullshit!

That's easy for smart people to deal with! Yanbei thinks that he is not a smart person, not to mention that whether it is Yuan Shao or Dong Zhuo, everyone has different information, this kind of dealing makes Yanbei feel very tired!

For every inadvertent small action, he has to spend half a day thinking about the real intention behind it, and he is worried about accidentally overinterpreting it.

But being tired is also beneficial, at least he is now more comprehensive in both his observation and thinking about problems, and he doesn't want to be so small in the past as a bandit.

He saw that Wei You didn't want to tell him the real reason, so he decided not to talk about it further, but smiled shyly: "Where are these sons and daughters Yan's soldiers and horses, it's nothing more than Yan raising soldiers for Liu Gong, even Yan is Liu Gong's subordinates, let alone them...... Don't worry, Brother Wei, Duke Liu has a great kindness to me, can Yan Mouyan obey without saying anything? ”

"It's good that you know it in your heart, it's an eventful time in Youzhou right now, don't be like that Gongsun Bogui, don't take Liu Gong in your eyes if you make some meritorious deeds outside."

Yan Bei's brows jumped when he heard this, and he asked, "What did General Bogui do?" A few days ago, it wasn't for Liu Gong to allow him to level the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and he sent someone to send me a letter saying that he would compare his exploits with Yan when he came back...... What did he do? ”

Yan Bei's words in front of him were normal, but when it came to the last question, it was inevitable that there was a little schadenfreude.

He can't wait for Gongsun Chan to poke a big basket!

"What else, Liu Gong sent a letter three times to ask him to come back, and he wanted to ask him about the Wuhuan Kingdom, in fact, he only came back three or five days after galloping back." Wei You sighed, Yan Bei showed that he was gloating about Gongsun Zhan, although he understood, he didn't feel happy. is also from Youzhou, and no one wants Youzhou to be chaotic anymore, so he spread his hands and said: "Bogui hasn't come back three times. ”

"Huh? That's it? Yan Bei's face was very disappointed, he thought that Gongsun Zhan had done something, but he didn't expect that it was just because of this incident, he waved his hand and said: "Gongsun Bogui is fighting in front, and he lost his head, and Liu Gong summoned him because of this trivial matter, and it is understandable to refuse." ”

"Okay, thank you Brother Wei, I don't panic when I know this." Yan Bei looked at the sun, the time was about the same, so he arched his hand and said: "Brother Wei, please wait, Yan will go to the state capital to find Liu Gong!" ”
