Chapter 0688: Seeing and Hearing in the South
Dian Wei agreed, picked up a few of his capable men, dismounted and walked deeper into the grass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The army then stopped, and the soldiers hurried to feed the horses and water. Now it seems that this place has just been hit by a military disaster, and there may be some unexpected situation, and it is not possible to prepare for the battle.
Seeing Wu Zi's worried face, Li Yi walked over and patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said with relief: "It shouldn't be a big deal." General Zang has also been a veteran for many years, and if the war is unfavorable, he will greet him somewhat. ”
"That's what the general said." Wu Zi nodded, but the worry in his heart continued unabated.
This time Zang Ba's opponent is Cao Cao, Wu Zi and Cao Cao are acquaintances, and he followed Zhang Miao to work under Cao Cao for a period of time, and later became an opponent, he knows a lot about Cao Cao, and knows how powerful this dwarf butcher is. Although Zang Ba has a set of battles, he is definitely not Cao Cao's opponent.
What's more, now that Zang Ba's forces are still at a disadvantage, it will be even more difficult to fight with Cao Cao. I left Qingzhou and went north to Jicheng, and now half a month has passed. What happened during this period, Wu Zi had no idea at all.
What he saw now aggravated Wu Zi's worries.
At this time, Dian Wei returned. He went straight to Li Yi and reported: "Lord Qi, people have brought it." ”
Since following Li Yi, Dian Wei has always been very effective, but this time, he has been there for a long time. Seeing that more than half an hour had passed, he rushed back with a few of his subordinates, panting, followed by an old man in ragged clothes. It looks like it's cowering, and it looks like it's going to run away at any moment.
Li Yi glanced at Dian Wei, who shook his head slightly. Li Yi's heart sank slightly, Dian Wei's ability was naturally clear to him, it took so long, even if he walked, the search radius was several miles, but as a result, he only found an old man? It's unimaginable. You must know that the reason why this Qiancheng County got its name is because of its large population.
As far as Li Yi knew, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of Qiancheng County exceeded 100,000. Even in the first year of Chuping, he led a large army to Yanqing and Xu to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, although he experienced the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion, this Qiancheng County still has a population of more than 30,000. With a population of 30,000 spread over this 1,000-square-kilometer area, it is impossible to find no one within a radius of miles, right?
"Old man, what happened around here, is it a military disaster?" Looking at the fierce-looking Dian Wei, Yuwen Chengdu and others, and at the anxious Wu Zi, Li Yi decided to interrogate him personally.
The old man looked at Li Yi and opened his mouth tremblingly, but he answered the question: "Are you ...... Checkmate? Talking counts? ”
"Huh?" Li Yi was slightly stunned, and Dian Wei hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Old man, what I promised you, I will definitely give it to you, as long as you answer my father-in-law's question." ”
"Look!" He raised his hand and pointed to the flag flying high, and said loudly, "My lord is the great Sima and general Li Yi of the dynasty!" ”
"Oh." The old man nodded, his cloudy eyes rolled upward, he could be regarded as having seen it, and then confirmed to Dian Wei in a low voice, "Ten catties of corn, that's right." ”
It turned out that Dian Wei promised a reward of ten catties of corn in order to let him come voluntarily. In the eyes of the old man, the big Sima and the general are far less important than ten catties of rice.
"You old ......" Yuwen Chengdu was furious, his fame was already relatively heavy, and he respected Li Yi even more, at this time, seeing a country farmer who despised the two together, he couldn't wait to beat this old man who didn't know what to do with a punch.
"Don't worry, Chengdu, wait until I ask clearly." Li Yi's hand was weak, and he stopped Yuwen Chengdu, looking at the old man's skinny appearance, there was a gust of wind, maybe it could be blown down, where could Yuwen Chengdu be restrained from even a little finger?
Then Li Yi turned to Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi, go get rice." ”
Xu Shu agreed, and quickly took two bags connected together from the back of a pack horse.
Li Yi's pro-guard army has almost reached the ratio of one person and three horses, each person uses two war horses alternately, and there is also a special pack horse with rations, which is enough for half a month.
And before crossing the river, the army had just been resupplied on the other side of the river. That is to say, in the following half a month, even if there are no supplies, this iron cavalry has relatively sufficient food and grass.
Seeing Xu Shu open the mouth of the bag, revealing the yellow corn grains, the old man's cloudy eyes finally shone brightly, as if he was afraid that Li Yi would regret it, and said busily: "There is a military disaster in this vicinity." If it's not a military disaster, how can a good place be plagued like this? It's all fertile land around here! Well, who will spoil the fields? That's damned......"
The old man was willing to cooperate, but the chattering old man couldn't get to the point for a long time, Li Yi could only interrupt him and asked, "When?" ”
"Since the first year of Zhongping, it has not been peaceful, from time to time there are moths and thieves, officers and soldiers do not pay, and large families only care about themselves, but life can be improvised. Afterward...... It should be five years of Zhongping, right? A new envoy came to Qingzhou, and as soon as he took office, he made a big move, recruiting celebrities and soldiers on the other hand, saying that he wanted to exterminate the moth thief or something......"
It's Liu Yu! Liu Yu was supposed to serve as the pastor of Youzhou in the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), but because Li Yi occupied Youzhou, Liu Yu made a big move and served as the pastor of Qingzhou. After Liu Yu arrived, he was determined to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and pacify Qingzhou. To this end, he recruited tens of thousands of troops, which cost a lot of money.
"But this envoy's tone is very big, but his skills are not very good, instead of exterminating the moth thief, he was beaten by the moth thief, and finally was surrounded by Sima Ju, Xu He and other moth thieves in Linzi City for more than a year. It seems that it was the hussar general at that time who led everyone to Qingzhou and exterminated the moth thief, which saved the envoy. ”
Of course, Li Yi knew this history, and Li Yi didn't know much about Liu Yu's ability at that time, but now it is very clear. Because now Li Yi's greeting system has not only opened the super query function, but also can query the ability of the generals of hostile forces. Besides, after Liu Yu was driven away by Gongsun Zhan, he went to northern Xinjiang again. was idle for a period of time, and then after Zhu Jun's death, he succeeded him as Da Honglu.
This position is in charge of protocol affairs, which is very suitable for Liu Yu, and nothing else. After all, his five-dimensional stats are 55 for Commander, 33 for Force, 69 for Resourcefulness, 78 for Politics, and 92 for Charisma. The charisma value is high, and dealing with people is very cheap, so in this position, he is very handy. As for his 78 political ability, there is more than enough to govern a county, and it is so-so to govern a county, but if he wants to govern a state or even a larger place, he has more than enough and not enough strength.
This also explains very well that Liu Yu did a good job in the position of Qinghe Minister before, and he also performed well in Zongzheng and other retreat positions, but when he was the pastor of Qingzhou, his performance was relatively bad.
As for the war, Liu Yu's performance can be said to be clumsy, and he was defeated by Sima Ju, Xu He and a group of Yellow Turban Army generals with more than 70 commanders, and he was embarrassed, and finally relied on the danger of Linzi City to barely save his life. Later, when he met Gongsun Zhan, who had a commander's ability of 85, he was even more discouraged and driven away.
"The hussar general exterminated all the moths and thieves, and moved all the displaced people to Hebei, and the envoy stopped conquering, and the place was restored to stability for two years. But then the White Horse General came and drove the envoy away. The white-horse general was very warlike, the young and strong were all pulled away, the grain was requisitioned, and the land was wasted. ”
The old man's tone had not fluctuated all the time, and it was calm, as if he was saying that what happened to others had nothing to do with him. But the more this happened, the more shocking his words became.
Later, General Baima and some people joined forces to attack Hebei, but I heard that he died on the battlefield. However, although General Baima is dead, there is another General Zang......" In the same tone, the old man mentioned Zang Ba again.
"You talk nonsense!" This time it was Wu Zi who roared, his eyes were wide with anger, his forehead was full of green tendons, and his hand was tightly held on the hilt of the knife, which made people worry that he would draw a knife and kill people in the next moment.
Li Yi did not rush to stop this time, but frowned tightly.
Because what the old man said was what he was most worried about, in order to raise supplies, Zang Ba scraped the ground, and while losing the hearts of the people, his weaknesses were also exposed!
He doesn't have many troops, his combat effectiveness is not very good, plus he has insufficient supplies, and he has no base, if he hadn't supported him with some weapons and equipment, he wouldn't even be a foreign powerhouse.
In March, the sun is warm, but the wind is still cool, and what is cooler than the wind is the atmosphere at the moment.
Wu Zi's martial arts are not too high, but they also crawled out of the pile of dead people, and under the anger, the murderous aura is almost as good as the substance, not to mention ordinary civilians, even if they are recruits who have received a certain amount of training, they will inevitably be scared and tremble.
However, the old farmer in front of him didn't tremble, he raised his cloudy eyes and looked at Wu Zi. Pulling his lips, a smile full of sorrow appeared on his ravine-ravine face, and said: "General Zang is famous, how dare the old man slander his old man?" What's more, he came late, and there was nothing left to contribute to the place. It's just that since the general asked, for the sake of the ten catties of rice, the old man must answer clearly. ”
The old man's voice was dry, as if it would be cut off at any moment.
Even the murderous aura of a veteran of a hundred battles can't be frightened, either it means that this old man's courage is outstanding, or his heart is dead, and there is nothing to fear. Li Yi didn't believe that a farmer that Dian Wei found casually was a master hidden in the people, and the answer was self-evident. (To be continued.) )
