Chapter III: Peacetime in Time of War
For the weapons rewarded by the imperial court, whether it is a lance or armor, or those hundred refining ring knives that have been picked up, Yan Bei likes it very tightly in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
All of them are finely forged weapons made by Luoyang as a supervisor, and ordinary people can't buy good things for hundreds of dollars, how can he not like them.
Let's not talk about the long lance, no matter how much he likes it, it's not something he can use. Each carving ring of the five-mouth ring knife is different, and the blade also has beautiful lines forged by hundreds of refined steel, which is sharp. The most surprising thing for Yanbei is the five sets of big armor, decorated with white yak hair, mixed with jade pieces and jade rings, sealed with five-color lacquer to paint the twelve chapters of the tiger, the dragon to take its brave and loyal filial piety, is the most rare masterpiece.
Therefore, under the reward, Yanbei took the red-veined armor for his own use.
Not long after, his own samurai took the armor from the Yan family's house and presented it to the hall, Yan Bei said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi has made meritorious contributions in the battle against Montenegro in Jizhou, and he can choose a long lance from the reward." Zhao and Jiao also contributed to this battle, and they can also choose the same. ā
Tai Shici couldn't put it down when he looked at the lance, and immediately said, "My subordinates would like to get a lance." ā
Yan Bei said with a smile: "The long lance is yours, take it yourself!" ā
"Subordinate......" Jiao Touch looked at the lance and armor, but he didn't dare to take it, he asked himself if his merits were not as good as Tai Shi Ci went to Yecheng to advise Montenegro, not to mention that there was Gao Ran who did not speak, and there were two generals who were not there, Lu Yi and Zhang Jaw were not there, so he didn't dare to say more, seeing that the ring knife was more numerous, and said in a low voice: "Subordinate, I am willing to take the ring knife." ā
"The ring knife is yours, go and see if you can take advantage of it." Yan Bei smiled even more happily when he looked at Jiao Fu's cautious appearance, turned his head to Gao Ran and asked, "Ah Xiu, what do you want?" ā
Gao Ran clasped his fists and arched his hand: "My subordinates have no merit and dare not ask for rewards." ā
"How reactive? You have a meritorious role in guarding Liaodong, and there are four-color pattern armor here, you can choose a set at will. "Yanbei's big armor, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to others, but Gao Ran must have a collar, in his opinion, the sword and lance are all external, and it doesn't matter if you use ordinary weapons, but the armor is used to save your life. What's more, in Liaodong, the five-collared armor is generally made, and it is the best thing to use as a reward. After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yun and asked, "Zilong, why don't you take a look at this thing that is rewarded by the imperial court, don't you like it?" ā
"General Hui, these weapons and armor are all the best choices, Yun likes it."
"Oh?" Yan Bei propped his arms on his legs, leaned forward, and asked with a smile: "Since you like it, why don't you pick one and take it?" ā
"The subordinates have not made an inch of merit under the general's subordinates, and they dare not ask for rewards." Zhao Yun clenched his fists, his slender figure was very upright, and said: "Please don't reward your subordinates, please don't reward your subordinates, and it will not be too late to reward you for your merits worthy of these weapons in the future." ā
"Haha!" Yan Bei smiled and applauded: "Zilong is really the same as I imagined, you and Ah Xiu are very similar, and you can have more contacts in the future." Someone! ā
After that, Yan Bei pointed to the weapon and said: "Send a long lance and blue-patterned armor to the Liyang camp in Wei County, Jizhou, and hand it over to Hu Qi's lieutenant Lu Yi, and tell him that he has meritorious service in battle, and he should be rewarded!" ā
"Send another long lance to Zhang Jaw's house, and let his family go to Xuanwu is to give it to him, telling him that he has made meritorious contributions in fighting in Jizhou, and he should be rewarded!"
"As for Zilong, you have merit in leading the righteous and brave defection to me, but, as you said, Yan looks forward to your meritorious service in the Central Plains this time, and you will be rewarded for both merits." Yan Bei looked at the remaining three ring knives and the three-collar big armor, and ordered someone to send one collar of yellow-veined armor to the Fu Zhu Mansion, and the rest back to the Yan family's house, then he smiled with satisfaction and said to everyone: "Okay, I will meet with the envoy of the Buyeo State later, and you will accompany me." ā
The four of them agreed and sent people to send the rewards they had received home, and they were ranked according to their official positions, waiting for the arrival of the envoys of the Buyeo State.
Not long after, dressed not like the Han people, but like the pre-Qin time of the Fuyu envoy bowed into the hall, is over fifty years old man, arched his hand to Yanbei and said: "Buyeo deceased Maga Duojitai to meet General Handu Liaoyan, General He to visit the general!" ā
Although this envoy of the Buyeo State is old, he is very confident in his speech, neither humble nor arrogant, which makes Yanbei appreciate it very much. Of course, what he appreciated more was the situation revealed in the words of the Buyeo envoy, Ma Jia was the tribal name and official name of the Buyeo country, which also meant that this old man was a powerful courtier in his country, which was worthy of Yanbei's careful treatment.
During this period of mourning, Yanbei devoted himself to studying books about Goguryeo and Buyeo to understand their official positions and cultures. Just like the long list of Dorjee Tai's own names, Buyeo is Buyeo country; The dead are the self-proclaimed names of the Buyeo people, because their ancestors were the husbands of the Wu state, and now the Wu state has long since perished, so they call themselves dead; Majia is the name of the tribe and the official, which is equivalent to the chief of the big tribe, and the same status is the cattle plus, the pig plus, and the dog plus, which are the four major tribes; The last Dorjeetai is the name of the old man.
"You're an old man, please take a seat." Yan Bei waved his hand and ordered someone to put the middle case table to the bottom of Duojitai, and then said with a smile: "I heard that Fuyu Guo is originally a descendant of Wu State, and it is of the same origin as my Han Dynasty, so the envoy does not need to be polite, please take a seat." ā
Dorjeetai bowed his hand and thanked him, and only after sitting down did he say: "Dorjeetai thanked the general for his rescue from Xuansu. ā
"I heard that in the Buyeo Kingdom, the four plus have their own envoys and soldiers like the King of Buyeo." Yan Bei asked Buyeo Maga Dorjeetai: "Then are you an envoy of Buyeo or an envoy of Majia?" ā
Dorjeetai stroked his beard and smiled, and replied, "The deceased is naturally an envoy sent by the king of Buyeo, and the general actually knows us so well about the Buyeo country?" ā
"I don't dare to say that I understand, it's just that the border is neighbors, and Yan is in charge of foreign affairs." Yan Bei smiled reservedly, and asked with a slight straight face: "Please also tell me the truth, why did Gongsun Du detain the elder who was the envoy of Buyeo?" ā
Speaking of Gongsun Du, Fuyu Duojitai showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said: "What else, he sees that my Fuyu country is weak, and wants to marry the daughter of the Gongsun clan to my king, in order to control Buyeo for his own use...... General, how dare I be an enemy of Gongsun Taishou in a small country? ā
"Marrying the king of Buyeo?" Yan Bei was stunned for a moment and asked, "I heard that the king of Buyeo is a long-lived elder, has the king changed the king of Buyeo Kingdom?" ā
"That's right, General, I, the Captain of Fuyu, the King of Qiutai, is a rare king of longevity, and he is now sixty years old at the age of ninety...... How can you still get married again? Dorjeetai said with a sad face: "In the words of the Han people, how ridiculous is this? What's more, Gongsun Duwu was dissatisfied, and asked my country to send him 500 good horses when he got married, and there were countless red jade and big beads. ā
"Gongsun Du doesn't seem to take Buyeo seriously, I heard that Ma Jia also has strong troops in the country, Ma Jia plans to return to China to gather troops to attack him?" Yan Bei seemed to ask a random question on his face, and said step by step: "How can he be so rude to the envoys who go to the imperial court?" ā
Duojitai has a different color, and based on this sentence alone, he understands that Gongsun Du of Xuansu County is not a good thing, and Yanbei, the general of Liaodong County, may not be well-intentioned! But his face was still sad and said: "The general doesn't know, the dead are fighting against Goguryeo in the country, not to mention that Gongsun Du is the Taishou of the Great Han Xuansu, how dare our department attack and kill the Great Han Taishou?" ā
"Don't you dare? I'm afraid not, right? Yan Bei smiled, and then smiled with a smile on his face, and said like a few treasures: "In the fifth year of Emperor Xiao'an's Yongchu, the first husband King Yu will ride seven thousand Kou I Xuanwu County; In the first year of Emperor Xiaohuan Yongkang, the king of Taiwan injustice 20,000 people Kou Xuan...... Is this a mistake in the next memory? ā
"This ......" Duojitai's face was not so good-looking, although he couldn't remember the name of the Han Emperor clearly, but he clearly knew that what Yanbei said was true, and Fuyu was indeed Kou Xuansu twice, and hurriedly said: "General, when the king of Goguryeo Taizu besieged Xuansu County, my first king also sent the king who was still the son of the world to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to relieve the siege of the Han Dynasty!" The dead have always been reluctant to be enemies of the Han Dynasty, please General Mingjian! ā
Duojitai has not been idle in Liaodong these days, he has visited all over to find out the current situation in Youzhou, and got shocking news. The people of Liaodong praised this general of Liaoyan like a god, and he used soldiers like a god to be an unborn general! Although he was born in a rebel army, he attacked the Han army with chaotic soldiers but was as fierce as a slaughtering dog, and even the white horse general Gongsun Zhan, who was afraid of the Xianbei Wuhuan people, was captured by him. Then he joined the Han family, and fought against the thieves to quell the rebellion like a game, and in March, he defeated the rebellion entrenched in Jizhou, as if Goguryeo and Buyeo were connected together, and collected millions of people for the imperial court.
With such a person, Duojitai doesn't want him to cause any misunderstanding.
After all, a fierce Goguryeo is enough for the four classes in the country to worry a lot.
"Then, Yan has something unclear and needs to let Ma Jia solve his doubts." Yan Bei pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is the basis for the annexation and rebellion of the Buyeo Kingdom?" ā
"This ......" Duojitai looked at Yanbei and thought for a while, before he said: "In the past, it was because Xuansu was too guarded to disregard the feelings of his subjects, requisitioned soldiers, and collected property, so that we were forced to rebel. ā
This will know that the big man has been called the court, Yan Bei laughed secretly in his heart. These words are all false, if Goguryeo rules Buyeo, or Buyeo rules Goguryeo, then Dongyi and Han will have another war, and this kind of thing does not need to be thought about at all.
"Although Yan rescued the envoy, I am afraid that your envoy will still not be able to go to the imperial court to pay tribute, and the road will be blocked." Yan Bei spread his hands and said: "It's better for the envoy to stay in Liaodong, and after a few days, I will talk about whether to go to Luoyang or return to Fuyu...... Of course, I will not be forced to stay like Gongsun Du, if the messenger must be on the road, Yan can send a team of riders to escort along the way, however, there will be any accidents on the road Yan cannot guarantee. ā
Yan Bei didn't mean any threat when he said this, and even had a smile on his face.
However, when Duojitai heard it in his ears, he only felt that the north wind whistling in the cold winter wax moon kept rushing behind him.
