Chapter 7 The Golden Age (Part 10) "This old guy is very evil-hearted!" Seeing Chen Yanshou calmly setting up a steel knife behind the six counties of Boling, Shi Defang secretly cursed him in his heart.
Li Xu should join the competition for the title and made a lot of preparations in private. However, if Luo Yi accepted the invitation of the Li family in Hedong, the six counties of Boling would have to bear the risk of being attacked from both sides.
Although the soldiers of Ling Dynasty are the best in the world, they are really not sure of defeating them head-on.
"That man surnamed Luo did not live up to his reputation as a powerful man, but he was willing to lower his seniority and become sworn sworn brother to Li Yuan's son!" After slandering Chen Yanshou, Shi Defang looked at Luo Yi and his eyes were not friendly. He did not believe the wily Luo Yi.
He was infected by the atmosphere at the banquet, so he agreed to become brothers with Li Jiancheng. The people from Youzhou must have done this because they wanted to climb the big tree of the future prince in order to seek the career of a vassal king.
After seeing through Chen Yanshou's clever calculation, and thinking that he had guessed Luo Yi's intentions, Shi Defang was filled with indignation, but there was no way to expose the conspiracy against the six counties of Boling. At the moment, the heroes were drinking and enjoying themselves, and they wanted to win.
Happy, any inappropriate words said will not only not affect the collusion between the Li and Luo families, but will also be regarded by everyone as having ulterior motives. Moreover, among so many people who are rushing to sworn sworn friends, who can tell which one is sincere in their friendship? Which one is sincere?
Which sworn sworn brother did he make in order to use each other in the future? Even Li Jiancheng himself probably knew what he was doing, but he didn’t know the far-reaching impact of becoming a brother with a different surname with Luo Yi?!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel anxious and angry that his general was still undecided about the future development goals of the six counties of Boling, leaving him empty-handed with the imperial skills but nowhere to use them. He was so angry that there were so many people in Boling.
He was the only one who was still mentioning the conspiracy of others. The others were all drunk and dizzy. They never thought that some guys were not holding wine cups, but sharply polished steel knives.
While he was feeling depressed, he saw Han Jianhong, the leader of Yanshan Dazhai, and Zhou Daniu, the commander of the guard battalion, staggering towards him with wine cups in their hands. They had obviously drank too much, and their uniforms had been spilled on the military commander's robes they had just changed.
It was all about wine and vegetable soup, but without realizing it, Zhou Daniu was drunk and shouted, "Shi, Shi Sima, you are a bad guy, but you are not an irresponsible person. We two want to rise up and marry you."
As brothers, I don’t know if I’m willing to do that?”
"Please, I can't get what I asked for!" Shi Defang groaned secretly in his stomach, but he didn't dare to ruin the warm atmosphere of the banquet. He put a smile on his face and responded loudly.
"You, your eldest brother Shi Derui is also a hero. We have been brothers for a long time. No, why not call him over and let us burn incense again and form a bond of friendship?" Han Jianhong extended two fingers and shook them.
Over there, De Rui happened to hear it and shouted "Hello". He couldn't help but pull his godbrother Lao Wang Cong, who he had just recognized, and came over. The five of them stood together, looked at each other and smiled. Before the incense was burned, Zhang Jiang pulled
Dou Cong and Fang Yannian dragged Jiang Baoyi over to join in on the fun of the drunkard Zhou Daniu.
I am not your general, but I have long known the reputation of General Luo. I think back on this frontier fortress, when I mentioned you and your tiger and horse cavalry, who wouldn’t give me a thumbs up? If the old general doesn’t dislike us for being so high-ranking,
We would like to pay our respects to you as well to appease our years of admiration!"
The old general Luo Yi, who was standing in the distance watching the excitement, did not expect that he had matters of his own. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Of course it is not Gao Pan, we have lived and died together today, we should have been brothers long ago!
"After that, he took Li Jiancheng's hand, and while walking towards Zhou Daniu and others, he shouted to Li Xu: "General Hussar, are you coming over too? Let's pay our respects today, and I will settle old scores with you another day!"
"It's what I asked for!" Li Xu put down his wine cup, laughed and approached the crowd. Immediately, all the heroes, regardless of their official positions in the camp, burned incense again and met as brothers. The elder Shi Chen Yanshou was dumbfounded, knowing that all his hard work just now was enough.
I was in trouble and wanted to deepen my relationship with Youzhou, but I had to go through it all over again. I almost burned my intestines with anger, but there was nothing I could do.
"I'll let you do this, old man!" Shi Defang was so happy that when no one was paying attention, he stretched out his hand and secretly patted Zhou Daniu on the back to show his admiration. However, Zhou Daniu's face was still full of alcohol and he looked around stupidly.
It was as if he had no idea what he had just done!
Everyone rearranged the rankings. Wang Cong was the oldest and was respected as his elder brother. Luo Yi was second. Chen Yanshou stood by and refused to join in the fun. The generals did not force him, so Li Jiancheng was ranked third, Dou Cong was fourth, and Shi Derui was ranked third.
After the fifth round, Li Xu was the youngest again and became everyone's little brother.
"My brother can be a hussar general, even if it only lasts for a day, I can do it for a lifetime!" Shi Derui danced and said swayingly.
"Today, regardless of my official position or origin, I will be drunk!" Luo Yi took over the conversation and responded with a smile. He had promised to sworn sworn sworn relatives with Li Jiancheng before, and indeed had the idea of finding a way out for Youzhou. Although Zhou Daniu and others put it aside
The "brotherhood" that I have painstakingly created is thinned out, but I don't feel too sorry to be able to interact with so many heroes.
This meal lasted for three hours before everyone dispersed happily. The next morning, heroes from all walks of life went to Li Jiancheng's camp to discuss the distribution of spoils as agreed at the wine table yesterday. They had just married Jinlan yesterday.
It’s not like Liu Jizhen who doesn’t even care about the most basic face. He just grabbed his things and ran away. After a few polite discussions, he quickly came up with a general principle of distribution according to the amount of effort.
When it came to the details of the distribution, none of the generals could do it themselves, so they all sent their confidants to do the bargaining like small traders. Luo Yi sent his confidant Chief Shi Qinyong and General Fan Zhongmou, and Li Jiancheng sent Chief Shi Chen Yanshou and General Jiang Baoyi.
On Li Xu's side, Shi Defang and Zhou Daniu worked together to experience what happened last night. Shi Defang already knew that Zhou Daniu seemed confused, but he was a wise and blessed general, so he no longer made his own decisions when things happened, and cooperated with him in everything.
Let's discuss it
The heroes who participated in the war were most interested in the hundreds of thousands of war horses left behind by Ashina Gutuolu. At present, wars are raging all over the Central Plains. Having a cavalry in hand is equivalent to holding a heavenly sword. Not only does the attack power increase
A substantial increase, and the deterrence range has also been expanded by at least 200 miles.
According to Shi De's point of view, of the hundreds of thousands of war horses, the Boling Army must keep at least half to be worthy of their own coach. He is best at using light cavalry. With 60,000 war horses in hand, it will be easy to rebuild the light cavalry that was buried on the south bank of the Yellow River.
With the foundation in place, given time, it is not impossible to even build a heavy armored cavalry like the Tigers and Horses. But Zhou Daniu shook his head gently, leaned over Shi Defang and whispered in Shi Defang's ear, "That thing consumes a lot of money. Luo Yi has raised his talent."
Five thousand tigers and horses are so poor that you want to dig up the land master. You want 60,000 war horses. How can you feed them? Besides, our six counties are connected outside the fortress. The general is good at raising horses after he recovers the tribes of the Xi tribe. He will definitely do it on time in the future.
Which one will be worse than these before being transported into the customs? In my opinion, instead of asking for more war horses at the moment, it is better to ask for more beef cattle and breeding sheep, which will show the generosity of our Boling Army and bring benefits at the same time!"
After hearing this, Shi Defang immediately woke up and immediately made a high-profile gesture on behalf of the Boling Army. He only asked for 20,000 horses, but on the grounds that the journey was far away and it was inconvenient for others to carry them, he hoped to keep nearly half of the beef cattle and
As for the seized leather armor, swords, spears, arrows, grain, etc., the Boling Army could only take a quarter of each of the more than 30,000 sheep, and the rest was distributed to everyone.
Those cattle and sheep were originally stuffed into the coalition forces and carried as dry food, and there was no spring fat caught along the way, so they all looked very skinny. The heroes knew that if they gave the cattle and sheep to themselves, they might not have the ability to bring them back to their lair alive.
Therefore, not only do I not think that Bolingjun is greedy, but I think that people on Tuesday know how to consider others and that Bolingjun is fair in doing things.
Sometimes, the people on Tuesday showed humility on behalf of the Boling Army. Chen Yanshou and Jiang Baoyi could not bear to lose face in Hedong in front of everyone, so they imitated Boling's example and proposed that the Hedong side would only have 20,000 horses.
After hearing the plan of only taking away a quarter of all kinds of materials, the confidants sent by the heroes thought it was very fair and agreed one after another.
Although the Huben cavalry contributed more, they entered the war last, so the order of distribution of supplies was in Hedong. After the Boling family, Qin Yong and Gu Zhongmou discussed it and said that Youzhou did not dare to compete with Hedong and Boling families.
Therefore, the demand for 20,000 war horses, 500 cattle, 10,000 sheep, and a quarter of grain and grass was proposed. As for swords, spears, bows, arrows, armor, etc., none of them would be taken.
The confidants sent by the heroes from other families did the calculations. In this way, the supplies left by everyone were much higher than expected, so they happily agreed to the Youzhou people's proposal.
Wang Fubao had no capable advisers under his command, so he had to do it himself. Seeing that Hedong, Hebei, and Youzhou families were all more restrained, he also followed other people's precedents and proposed 20,000 horses, 20,000 armor weapons, and enough horses to return to 20,000 people.
The request for food, grass and baggage to be consumed on the road was very practical. Naturally, everyone had no objections and nodded and passed it with a smile.
At that time, De Fang, Han Jianhong, Wang Cong and others did not have many brothers under their command. There were more than 30,000 war horses left. Each soldier rode one and led one. They were much richer. After a great battle, they knew how to compete for the top spot.
There was no chance for him to stand out on the battlefield, so he simply stopped fighting for these petty profits, happily divided the remaining supplies equally, and then offered to sell the part that could not be taken away directly in the six counties of Boling in exchange for gold, silver and copper coins.
Shi De asked for it and then transported it home. He was polite and agreed happily.
After successfully distributing the seized materials, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They laughed and scolded Liu Jizhen for his narrow vision. In the end, he did not go beyond the scope of the horse thief. They looked at the more than 100,000 foreign prisoners imprisoned in the camp and were worried, not knowing how to deal with it.
At this moment, the Central Plains was still undecided, and none of the heroes wanted to be infamous for killing prisoners. Besides, more than half of the prisoners were old, weak, women and children, so no one really wanted to kill them.
But leaving these people behind, the heroes really can't feed the captives from outside the Great Wall. They don't know how to farm, and they can't speak the Central Plains dialect. Even if they are sold as slaves, there may not be any rich people willing to buy them.
"Just take them outside Yanshan, find a spacious place to let them go, and let them go home on their own!" Fan Zhongmou, the Youzhou general who has the most experience in dealing with herdsmen outside the Great Wall, suggested with a smile, following the previous practice of the tiger cavalry handling prisoners.
"Then wouldn't more than half of them starve to death on the road?" Wang Fubao couldn't bear it and retorted in a low voice. The food and grass had been divided up by the heroes. Without dry food, there were only two roads left in front of the prisoners.
One is to gang up as thieves and break into the Great Wall to rob. What awaits them is the sword of the Boling Army. The other is to go home the same way they came. Without weapons or cattle or sheep, these people will most likely die of hunger.
"If you die, you will die. Look how pitiful they are. If they win a big victory, who will pity the people of the Central Plains!" Fan Zhongmou glanced at Wang Fubao and said coldly.
"That, that, that's not the same thing!" Wang Fubao rolled his eyes when he asked him. After a long while, he muttered back that he was unwilling to kill indiscriminately, but the Turks could kill the Central Plains people, but the Central Plains people could not win.
What's the point of cruelly watching Turkic prisoners starve to death? He couldn't explain clearly.
He couldn't explain clearly and couldn't think of a way to look at the piles of captives with dull eyes trembling in front of him. Wang Fubao felt very sad in his heart. Although the captives could not understand the Zhongyuan dialect, they knew that the other party was discussing how to deal with him and them.
Most of them had been hungry for a day and a night and had no strength or courage to resist the coming fate. They had no choice but to kneel on the ground one by one, bowing their heads and crying.
"How about each of our families take half of the prisoners and set aside a place near the Great Wall for them to live?" Chen Yanshou heard the prisoners crying pitifully, thought for a while, and suggested to Shi De in a low voice.
Shi Defang had a very bad impression of this old guy who was plotting against the Boling Army last night. He instinctively shook his head like a clapper. While shaking it, he said intermittently: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, it's very inappropriate."
This is how the Great Sui Dynasty settled the Ashina family. Finally, you also saw how Shibi Khan repaid the Great Sui Dynasty?"
Many people among the heroes know the origin of today's Turkic troubles. The Sui Dynasty had already crippled the Turkic royal court, but it was in vain that they took in Qimin Khan's tribe and settled in Dingxiang County. The result was less than two years ago.
In ten years, Qimin Khan reintegrated the grasslands with the support of the Sui Dynasty. By Shibi's generation, he not only occupied half of Dingxiang County without returning it, but also continued to spy on the Central Plains.
This is a matter of raising tigers, which is enough for the people of the Central Plains to do it once. They cannot suffer the consequences and do not learn to behave themselves. Therefore, although the elder Shi Chen Yanshou has good intentions, except for himself, he can't find anyone to support him. Seeing the old guy's face full of embarrassment
, Shi Defang felt very comfortable in his heart
In terms of strategy, he thought he was not as good as Chen Yanshou, an old ginger. But in terms of vision, he felt that Chen Yanshou's style was too small and he was not a talent for the emperor. With Chen Yanshou, who was not an emperor's assistant, as a counselor, Li Jiancheng's future would also be
How is it any better? The blood outside the Great Wall is not cold yet, and Pao Ze is planning to fight side by side. It’s strange that such a person can become such a popular figure!
"Then according to Shi Sima's opinion, what should we do with these people?" Jiang Baoyi couldn't stand Shi Defang's proud face, so he stepped forward to fight Chen Yanshou's injustice.
"In my opinion...?" Shi Defang didn't have any solution in his heart, but he couldn't hide his face and admitted that he hesitated for a long time, his face started to turn black from holding back, and he still couldn't explain why.
Holding back his anxiety, he remembered yesterday's situation and secretly looked at Zhou Daniu out of the corner of his eye. He saw Zhou Daniu with his hands behind his back and his eyes raised to the north. While looking at the scenery outside the Great Wall, he murmured: "This Wang Xuba."
, the battle is over, and you still haven’t sent a message to tell him where he is? It’s for nothing that the general is waiting impatiently! Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the woman of the Slin tribe and is happy to stay there instead of living in Shu?!"
"Since they were defeated, they will naturally have to pay the price for their defeat!" Hearing Zhou Daniu's muttering, Shi De immediately started to make plans. "My general was elected as the co-leader by the thirteen tribes of the Xi tribe, and he happened to have a large tract of grassland under his name. These 100,000 people each
If you are not willing to take them in because they are old and weak, you can simply hand them all over to the Six Counties of Boling, who will pay for them to be escorted to the vicinity of Suotou Water to take care of the cattle and sheep for the people of the Six Counties!"
"At this moment, Sima is not afraid that they will become bigger in the future?!" Jiang Baoyi glanced at Shi Defang and sneered in his nostrils.
"They don't belong to the same clan to begin with. They are herd slaves. My general sent people to take care of them. There are also people watching from the side, so it's hard to stir up any trouble!" Shi Defang smiled and glanced at Chen Yanshou, then glanced at Chen Yanshou.
Youzhou generals responded proudly
He had always disagreed with Li Xu's idea of retreating beyond the Great Wall and establishing a new world outside Kyushu, but now he was being pressed hard by the people in Hedong, so he had to temporarily use part of this idea as an emergency. After saying that, he felt that
