The sun is blazing, hot and windless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The official road with tamped loess is lined with green trees on both sides, and the sunlight hits the leaves between the trees, which is a beautiful scene in midsummer.
The rim of the wheel squeaked against the road, the horse bell rang crisply on the official road, and Yan Bei squinted his eyes and knelt on the double carriage and swayed leisurely with the bumps. Tai Shi Ci, who rode the horse side by side with the chariot, wore a helmet and armor, and hung four halberds with a large bow diagonally in the horse's hip sac, and the left hand holding the reins was a long pole, and the right hand was holding a scepter hanging from the yak hair. The armor and sharp spears of the riders on both sides of the chariot flashed brightly, and behind the three hundred horsemen, two riders with big shoulders and round waists held two flags, one red and one black, one with swallow characters and one with a book to protect the Wuhuan Captain's Department, and hunted in the wind.
Half a month has passed since the letter sent by Fu Zhu to the Youzhou official office on the situation in Jizhou, suggesting that the state government preemptively send troops to exterminate the rebels in Jizhou. Liu Yu did not directly reply to Liaodong County with the news of whether to send troops, but sent someone to send a letter to Yanbei in Liaodong County.
The letter didn't say anything else, but summoned him to Jixian County for discussion.
What can be discussed? Yan Bei could see with his eyes that what was being discussed was the matter of sending troops to Jizhou. In Liaodong, the military rations for the war have been prepared, and all of them have been escorted to the Liaoshui camp, and now the Yan Zhao warriors and Zhang Jaw have all joined forces with the grain, grass and ordnance to enter the Liaoshui River; The two thousand roaring Wuhuan warriors prepared their horses and bows, and marched west as soon as Yanbei called.
Qiu Liju understands a truth, Youzhou, an acre of three points of land, don't mess with anyone to provoke Gongsun Zhan, General Baima has been shocked by them for a long time; But even if you provoke Gongsun Zhan, you can't disobey Yanbei.
Gongsun Zhan had no reason to fight them, but Yan Bei held this reason in his hand. The Han Dynasty has all the protectorates' can be anji, anji; Hit, hit' is not a joke. It's good to say when you meet Du Hu with a weak personality or when the national strength of the Han Dynasty is weak, but who let the Wuhuan people spread out Yanbei, a poor soldier who is so poor that he is about to eat the food for raising soldiers, and why is he shouting to fight with others.
"Ziyi, don't be nervous, you don't have to be so vigilant when you get out of Liaoxi." Yan Bei saw that Tai Shi Ci was holding a halberd in one hand and a scepter in the other, and he was staring at the surroundings with vigilance, and couldn't help but feel a little tired for him, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, Yan doesn't have so many people who want to kill me, just put that pole on the car first." ā
Tai Shi Ci responded, and with some reluctance, he inserted Chang Ge in the position of planting the flag on the chariot, glanced at Yan Bei and said: "The grandson of Liaoxi and the Wang family of Yuyang all have enmity with Yan Jun, and they also have the strength to attack the chariot...... Yan Jun is not worried? ā
"Quanyouzhou is also Bo Gui has the ability to kill Yan, so you have to be worried in Liaoxi, but you don't have to worry after Liaoxi. As for Wang Song of Yuyang, who told you? If you want to kill Yan, you have to have the guts! ā
Yan Bei sneered, pursed his lips and glanced at the side of the road, and then said, "Don't be tense, if you feel bored, just take the trail to get some game, and it's okay to go shopping...... This time, the state government will make a decision to send troops, and it is estimated that Yan will not be able to let anyone go to the expedition in the past, and we will not have many days to spare. ā
He could see that Tai Shi Ci was a little uneasy, this Qingzhou man had courage and martial arts, and he was also capable in military strategy, so he was a great talent. But I haven't fought before, and I know that I'm going to experience the war in person, and I'm always a little absent-minded these days. But fortunately, Tai Shici has never fought, such a talent is a great talent no matter where he is placed, but it is a pity that he took the wrong path before to work hard as an assistant in the Donglai County Government.
This is obviously a talent who should be a general!
"Yan Jun thinks clearly." Tai Shi Ci rode with the car, even if he put down Changge, he still looked around at the side of the road and worried about the situation, and only then did he take the time to look back at Yanbei and ask, "Aren't you worried about entering Jizhou to attack Montenegro this time?" ā
After Tai Shi Ci finished asking, he turned his head and continued to look left and right, but there was nothing in front of him except for the branches and green leaves of the trees next to the road, but he never heard Yan Bei's response in his ears, and then turned his head to see Yan Bei pursing his lips and frowning, and slowly exhaled a breath.
"Worried." Yan Bei looked at Tai Shici, "It's not even worrying, I'm afraid." I don't know if I can come back after leaving Youzhou this time, how can I not be afraid? ā
Tai Shi Ci was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He thought that Yanbei would laugh at him, and thought that Yanbei would talk about the battlefield experience of those who rebelled or not, and struggled between righteousness and small righteousness. But he didn't expect that General Yan, who had been bold and bold in his army, and now ruled over hundreds of thousands of people, would speak out so generously, he was worried, not only worried, but also afraid.
How can the eldest husband say that he is afraid?
"That ......"
Are you afraid that you will still be mobilized by Liu Yuanjun to send troops to attack Jizhou Montenegro?
Yan Bei raised his eyes and glanced at Tai Shi Ci, he knew what Tai Shi Ci was thinking.
It is not a local chicken and tile dog entrenched in Jizhou, it is a black mountain thief who randomly gathered hundreds of people to help him crisscross Jizhou. He Yanbei killed Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan with tens of thousands of brothers to follow, fucking Jizhou has hundreds of thousands of black mountain thieves, that is a bandit who can wake Yanbei up in a dream full of white sweat on his back!
Can he not be afraid?
"Who is not afraid, not afraid that two or three hundred thousand Jizhou people have left their hometowns and fled to Youzhou in the past six months? I know, you want me to ask why you have to sharpen your head and drill into Jizhou because of the disaster, the disaster that displaced two or three hundred thousand Jizhou people was caused by Yan. Yan Bei's voice was a little dry, but he didn't have any emotion and just said slowly: "Actually, sometimes I don't know if it's right to think so, if you want to cause this trouble, you must blame Yuyang Tianzi and Zhongshan Zhang Gong." But the fake Son of Heaven asked me to kill him, and Zhang Gong of Zhongshan was hidden by me to retire in the subject country, so now I can carry this debt. ā
Tai Shici felt that Yan Bei's current appearance was particularly not like a general, seeing that he put his pocket aside, kneeling and sitting uncomfortable, he crossed his legs and sighed on his knees and said these words slowly, which was different from the demeanor that Yan Bei should have in his mind. Although he has never called Yanbei a general, he has always admired Yanbei's share of Liaodong's courage in his words. Whether there is no food for the soldiers and horses or no money in the county, it seems that it is not a big deal in his eyes, and it can be solved from beginning to end without a little worry.
But Yanbei is different now, like a hail smashing his own field, like an old farmer sitting on a dead tree stump worrying about his livelihood.
"Don't look at my mouth always saying that I want to do big things, do big things, but in fact, I haven't done anything so far. I think people have to do one thing well in their lives, right? Yan Bei pinched his knees and pursed his lips, thinking about the sentences that were about to be spoken, as if he was saying to Tai Shici and as if he was talking to himself, "I can't be a manu, and later I killed the master's family with soldiers; is not a good general, and when he starts an army with the lord and looks down on those people, he thinks that they can't do anything; Even when he was not a good person, he participated in the rebellion twice before and after...... I think I'm a terrible person. Eh, Ziyi, you said that God didn't accept me, did you want to see me suffer in the future? ā
Yan Bei said this, made himself laugh, and then sighed after laughing, looked at Tai Shici and said: "In the end, I can still be a big husband, and I will repay my kindness and revenge." I owe a debt, and I have to pay it. It's just that I'm afraid...... I have to go to Jizhou too, I have to go to Jizhou. ā
Tai Shici didn't look back, paced in front of him and said with a smile: "Yan Jun is still worthy of admiration, at least don't lie, admit that he has done a lot of evil." ā
"If you're not a hero, why hide your evil? However, it is not necessary not to lie, but Yan disdains to lie about this little thing. Yan Bei smiled a little smugly, "Fu Jun wanted to build a canal for Liaodong, and the county government sent tens of millions of money and 40,000 stone grains, and I said that I could find a way, so I lied." ā
Tai Shici knew that Fu Zhu was going to build a canal in Liaodong, and the county government had spread the news that he would levy conscription to repair the canal in the coming year. At this time, he turned his head and asked with some surprise: "So, Yan Jun can't help it?" ā
"What can I do, my subordinates are fast 18,000 men and 7,000 horses, and every day when I open my mouth, people eat horses and chew horses, plus there is a gap in the canal...... The donkey skills are exhausted. It's just that I don't want to disappoint Fu Jun, so I said I'll figure it out. Yan Bei smiled and said: "My subordinates believe that I have a way, they always think that I have a way, so I have to come up with a way, right?" Let's take it one step at a time. ā
Seeing that Tai Shici was still looking at Yan Bei with a worried face, Yan Bei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I've thought about it, although there is no good way." If there is still not enough money and food in Liaodong County after the New Year, I will sell myself. Take the soldiers to loot outside the fortress, and the living will not be forced to die by the trivial matter of money and food. ā
Bagatelle?
Tai Shici can no longer distinguish the big things and small things in Yan Bei's mouth. The gap of tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of stone grains is said to be a trivial matter, and it is a trivial matter to admit that he is a wicked person, and finally it becomes a big thing to build a canal for Liaodong County?
This kind of thing is a big deal even if it is placed on the family!
However, Tai Shici actually believed that these little things in Yan Bei's mouth were really 'little things'.
"Yan Jun, if you heard today's words from others in the past, I am afraid that you will not be willing to have any intersection with your in this life. But now, I don't think so. Tai Shi Ci felt very relaxed in his heart, and slowly paced the horse and said: "Before that, the right to be Yan Jun was forced by life to do it, so Ci went to the place of ten thousand deaths with Yan Jun and paid off the debts owed. Yan Jun is the eldest husband, the Yan general of Liaodong...... Forget about the past. ā
Yan Bei laughed heartily and applauded kindly.
It's just that he knows in his heart that he went to Jizhou to repay his debts. But whether it is in his heart or in this world, who will forget who he Yanbei is?
No one will forget!
Although he doesn't know when his story will end, it is already doomed from the beginning of the slave. Just like he doesn't believe in fate, all Yan can change is everything that will happen in the future, and he has always been as powerless as a weak baby in the past.
