Chapter Seventy-Five: The Quiet Trade

"Yuan Shaobiao Zhou Ang is the assassin of Yuzhou, and he fought several battles at the intersection of Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and the victory and defeat were indistinguishable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Yan Bei expected that Sun Jian's anger did not appear, he just read the letter as usual, raised his head and complained to Yan Bei: "Just when Sun fought west for his Yuan family's revenge? ā€

The three people present were all related to each other.

In fact, it was quite aggrieved, a group of soldiers and horses, as the vanguard, faced Dong Zhuojun, who is known as the strongest soldier in the world, put life and death out of the way, and played a breakthrough record. And behind them, the princes of the coalition are like stabbing knives, you take my territory, I will kill your subordinates.

The saddest thing is not that people are attacking the territory, or even doves occupying the magpie's nest. The saddest thing is that if I were in the same position, I wouldn't do that to you, but you did this to me.

Sincerely, put it into the heart of the wolf and the dog's lungs.

It's the saddest thing.

"I'm afraid there is no blood in this world, and it can't be changed anymore." Yan Bei shook his head, and said with a bit of frustration: "General Wentai, if you want to go back to Yuzhou to fight for Yangcheng, don't worry about us. After leaving Liaodong for more than a year, in fact, if Yuan Shao had not appointed Zhou Ang this time, Yan would have also planned to return to Youzhou. ā€

Sun Jian was grateful for Yan Bei's empathy, and Lu Yi on the side glared at him and said, "What is Yuan Benchu?" Don't worry, Wentai, I'll go with you, you and I will take back your city just like defeating Xu Rong! ā€

After Lu Yigang finished speaking, he patted the cuirass and took it over, and then looked at the side cautiously with a stiff face, secretly observing Yan Bei's face. However, this time Yan Bei did not blame him, but said to Sun Jian cautiously: "Yes, the grain and grass are heavy, the soldiers are manpower, as long as you need it, but please don't be polite, Yan will provide all the help for the Changsha army as much as possible." ā€

Even if their alliance this time was a dispersal alliance, Yanbei was still grateful to Sun Jian for accepting his invitation when the princes of the rear were intriguing, and as a flank to drag Xu Rong's soldiers and horses on the south road for him...... What's more, this is also what he thinks about in the future. The so-called long-distance friendship and close attack, no matter whether Sun Jian will be in Yuzhou in the future, return to Changsha or even his hometown Jiangdong, it is difficult to pose a threat to his forces in the north now.

Today, there are fewer and fewer people as brave as Sun Jian, and if there is one more, his road will be a little wider in the future.

"Thanks to the kindness of the two generals, although Sun Mou only has thousands of people, he still doesn't put Zhou Ang in his eyes." Sun Jian had a heroic temperament, turned his head to look at Yan Bei and Lu Yi and smiled, and then stretched out his hand to lead the way to Yan Bei: "It's not a hurry to kill Zhou Ang, we finally met today, didn't the general have prepared a banquet, please!" ā€

"Hahaha, well said!" Seeing that Sun Jian was not in a hurry, Yan Bei's heart was naturally relaxed, and he reached out and led the way: "General Sun, please!" ā€

The people walked together to the palace gate.

Because of Sun Jian, an outsider, they did not enter the palace, but only set up a guard of honor in front of the palace ruins for the generals of the three armies to drink and feast...... said that it was a banquet, but there was not much wine, but it was up to order, and the ingredients were not much different from those of the soldiers.

Sending troops to fight for so long, if the general drinks and drinks some wine every day, can the soldiers have no thoughts in their hearts?

So Yanbei simply treats everyone equally, anyway, they are all battlefield veterans, who hasn't slept lying in the bones, how can they care that these ingredients are not fine enough?

"Lord, are we really going to go back like that?"

Lu Yi has been silent during the banquet, and Yan Bei and Sun Jian are talking to each other, and Lu Yi, who is extremely noisy on weekdays, is rarely quiet today. For a full moment, Lu Yi asked Yan Bei, "Do we really want to go back?" ā€

Yan Bei nodded and said, "I always have to go back, sooner or later." At present, the western troops are forced to the west of Hangu Pass, and then the battle line to the west is too long, and the baggage route is easy to be attacked...... Yes, we're going back. ā€

He said a lot from a strategic point of view earlier, but after speaking, he realized that the generals present did not dare to say it, Sima, the lieutenant and even the general, who did not understand this little truth in the military strategy, and laughed at himself, and asked Lu Yi: "Why, after a year, you haven't stayed enough in the Central Plains?" ā€

"It's not that I haven't stayed enough, and there is nothing to stay in the dark Luoyang, I just think that the battle is not over yet, and we withdraw our troops like this." The meaning on Lu Yi's face was incomprehensible, "Is it considered a loss?" ā€

Yan Bei's smile froze on his face, and the wine bottle he picked up slowly put it down, and quickly picked it up and poured it into his mouth, and then he said with some difficulty: "Lost, lost!" ā€

When he went out of Liaodong, he also said that he wanted to seek the revival of the thief and welcome the Son of Heaven...... I saw the emperor of the new dynasty, Wang Mang, but today? I didn't even feel the shadow.

Although they have been winning the war, strategically, they have not been able to achieve their previous goals.

Koji is not happy.

He is a pure general, and his most ambitious goal is to revitalize the Nishihei Koji clan, and apart from this, all his values are only to win. Win battle by battle, war by war, others? He didn't care.

I don't care about the relationship between colleagues, I don't care about the situation in the world, I don't care too much...... But all he cared about winning.

But in the final analysis, they still lost the battle in which the Liaodong Army almost poured out.

"No one can win this battle, no matter how brave and diligent you are, you can't stand the back of your ass and someone pulling your legs." Yan Bei smiled, but he didn't see the frustration between his eyebrows, but comforted Lu Yi: "Although I lost one, there are still battles in the future...... Now that the battle for the world is over, it is time for us to go back and fight for ourselves. ā€

Regarding Yan Bei's sentence, Sun Jian thought deeply, nodded and said: "General Yan's words are not bad, the situation in the world is different from the past, after this battle, I am afraid that the Central Plains will be in chaos for more than ten years." ā€

"Yes, I also have this hunch, Dong Zhuo suffered this setback, and the imperial court was not stable enough, and he would not be able to lead the army out of the customs in three years. And those in the Kanto region, Brother Wentai also knows what it looks like, I'm afraid that from the county to the state, the war will not stop. Yan Bei mentioned that the princes of Kwantung always inevitably had a sense of ridicule, and he turned over slightly and said to Sun Jian: "Yan in the Central Plains can't stay, but Youzhou can still be well protected, so let them make trouble, Yan will go back to Youzhou to clean up Goguryeo and Sanhan!" What are Brother Wentai's plans in the future, do you want to make a history of Yuzhou assassination? ā€

"Don't do it! As General Zhongqing said, in the future, our generation of warriors will fight for themselves, and Sun also plans to return to Jiangdong to recruit troops. Sun Jian said with a slight gloom on his face, "But after killing Zhou Ang, Sun can not be the assassin of Yuzhou, but he can't allow others to come to occupy the magpie's nest!" ā€

"General Brave, please drink!" Yanbei admired Sun Jian's spirit, picked up the wine bottle and congratulated Sun Jian: "In the future, you and I will be based on the north and the south, and I hope that in three or five years, we can meet again!" ā€

"Please!"

Sun Jian drank all the wine and asked Yanbei: "General Yan, General Koji said on the road that Liaodong pays attention to merchants, and the goods pass through the three states of Hebei, Qingdao, and there are also sea ships, I don't know if it?" ā€

"Not bad! When Yan first arrived in Liaodong, he was extremely poor, and he could only borrow some business means to gather assets, so that he could set up a shelf to open up wasteland and farm, otherwise he was afraid that all the soldiers under his command would starve to death by now. Yan Bei mentioned the sadness when he first led Liaodong, and he was particularly proud at this time, and turned to Sun Jian and asked, "What, does Brother Wentai need to buy something?" ā€

Sun Jian's question made Yan Bei feel like business came to his door.

As expected, I heard Sun Jian continue: "It's not a secret, the southerners are not good at horse fighting, not because the soldiers are thin, but because there are no good horses. Sun saw that the cavalry under the general was very sharp, and he wanted to buy some war horses from the general, but he didn't know ...... If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. ā€

"War Horse...... Wuhuan produces horses, and Xianbei outside the Saiwai also produces horses, and my Liaodong County also circled a grassland as a horse farm the year before last. Yan Bei said with a difficult face, "It's not that Yan is unwilling to buy and sell horses, it's really that the Liaodong warship is worried, the boatman of the water village is only more than two years, and there are a lot of people who can not carry horses, and the water village was originally built for the purpose of conquest, and there is not a single merchant ship, and the biggest battlefield at the moment is only three ships, not to mention the long distance, and the warship cannot be driven to Yuzhou." ā€

Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains, even if the river basin is vertical and horizontal, but this road is plagued by water thieves and soldiers...... There weren't many warships in Liaodong, and it was worth the loss to fold the ships on the road in order to sell hundreds of horses.

"That's true...... General, you think this is good, Sun heard that the Liaodong fleet can go to Donglai, and Liu Xuande, the assassin of Qingzhou, was also a general under the general's account, and he didn't think that he would embarrass the general's naval warship in Qingzhou. The dog now lives in Lujiang, and can let him go to Wu County to pick up the horses. ā€

Yanbei heard Sun Jian say this, but there was indeed a feasible opportunity, and before he nodded, he heard Sun Jian say: "My Sima Handang, also a native of Youzhou, can go to Liaodong with the general, and return with the fleet to guide the way, and the general doesn't have to worry about the road." As long as the war horse that Sun seeks can reach a shoulder height of six feet and five inches, it can be two years old...... As for the war horses, the general didn't have to worry, so he added another 10% according to the price of horses in Liaodong, and Sun wanted to buy 500 horses. ā€

If Sun Jian wants to sell horses, the most difficult thing is not that there is no money, but that there is no market, and now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, the horses in the north cannot enter the south at all. How many people in the world can protect caravans like Yanbei as princes?

It's all here, Yan Bei has anything else to say, nodded immediately, and then asked Sun Jian: "If that's the case, Yan Mou won't shirk it anymore." However, in terms of price, Yan heard that there were many shipwrights, armor craftsmen, and bow craftsmen in Jiangdong, and I hoped that Brother Wentai could buy horses with craftsmen instead of money, or use Jiangdong's silk and satin to offset the price, and barter. ā€

Yanbei is not short of money now, he does not even lack raw materials such as ironwood, stone and stone mines, and the biggest gap is craftsmen!

"It's a deal!"

The two of them each took the deal they needed, which made a smile appear on their faces, Yan Bei picked up the wine bottle and said: "In this case, Yan will wish Brother Wentai to compete for Yuzhou and succeed!" ā€
