“The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult,
The Duoqi Road is safe now.
There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails are hung directly to help the sea.
Ha ha ha ha."
After drinking, Yuan Shu slammed the wine jar to the ground.
"Snapped"
There was a crisp sound that startled everyone.
"There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails are hung directly to help the sea. What a wonderful poem, a unique poem."
Cai Yong read Yuan Shu's poem, but his eyes couldn't help but fill with tears. This poem tells how many hardships and sufferings there are in the world, and how many people work hard and forge ahead without worrying about the hardships.
"That's right, this poem deserves the word "Jue" and "Fu Da Bai".
The same goes for Gu Yong. Everything is difficult. Only by forging ahead can we break through the thorns and achieve something successful.
"Nowadays, when there is wine, it is a drunken dream. This poem is better than any delicious food."
Ruan Yu also raised his glass and drank, his eyes blurred.
"Drink."
"drink."
Yuan Shu described countless hardships in a poem, and everyone was fascinated by it.
They only looked at themselves, but Tian Feng and Xun You frowned.
"Gongda, my lord is suffering."
Tian Feng raised his glass to Xun You, then drank it down in one gulp.
"Well, my lord's poem not only describes the hardships of the time, but also expresses his worries about the current great man. Now the building is about to collapse. Wanting to put an end to the troubled times and restore a pure world to the people is like trying to cross the ice jam of the Yellow River.
Sichuan is as difficult as climbing the snow-covered mountains of Taihang."
Xun You also raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, so what if it's difficult? Didn't the lord say that there will be times when the wind and waves break, and the clouds and sails will sail directly to the sea? Then we will be the lord's long wind and cloud sails, and help the lord complete this great cause."
Tian Feng raised his glass again.
"Yes, we just want to be the lord's Yunfan and Changfeng, and help the lord complete this great undertaking, do it."
Xun You raised his glass and clinked it with Tian Feng, then the two of them looked at each other and drank the wine in one gulp.
Yuan Shu also sung a poem to the end of the banquet. After all, when the masterpiece is coming, if these people come to write poems again, they are playing tricks in front of Guan Gong's gate and looking for shame.
After this banquet, Yuan Shu flew to the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty without holding his wings.
"There will be times when strong winds break through the waves, and cloud sails are hung directly across the sea. Yuan Jiujiu is so talented and agile in writing and thinking, I am not as good as me, and I am not as good as me."
Cao Cao looked at the sky in Lu County in a daze.
"Yuan Zhoumu, your martial arts skills are truly unforgettable for me."
Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Yuan Jiujiu will rely on these small trails to gain fame, huh."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao's face was livid, then he snorted coldly, turned around and entered the inner room.
"Ice is born from water and is colder than water. Green comes from blue and is better than blue. I don't hate myself for growing old. I only hate that Yuan Shu is not the son of my Liu family."
After speaking, Liu Biao shook his head, abandoned the civil and military personnel, and left alone.
"It's really like Yuan Jiujiu to have a son. If Yuan Jiujiu can cooperate with me, why can't this man be reborn? It's a pity, a pity."
Wang Yun, who was far away in Chang'an, was sitting alone in Shangshu Ling's Mansion, looking at the sky and drinking alone at the moon.
Just when everyone in the world was amazed by Yuan Shu's masterpiece, Yuan Shu was a soft jade man with a beautiful woman in his arms, and he was living a very comfortable life.
"Lord, your plan is done."
More than ten days later, Xun You came to Yuan Shu's house with excitement on his face.
"Gongda, what happened? Did the Wuhuan and Xianbei people agree?"
After hearing Xun You's words, Yuan Shu's first reaction was the Wuhuan and Xianbei people.
"My lord, my lord, the Wuhuan and Xianbei people have agreed, and this time they each decided to send 20,000 troops. The reward will be as we said, calculated based on the heads of Qiang, Hu, Xianbei and Huns.
In addition, in order to support this Western discussion, each side is willing to provide 10,000 war horses at a fair price, but the transaction must be in exchange for things, which may be ironware, grain, baggage, daily necessities, etc. Do we want to exchange?"
Xun You spoke and looked at Yuan Shu.
"In exchange, as long as they don't want swords and military supplies, everything else will be exchanged, and more can be given as appropriate."
"Lord, what does this mean?"
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Xun You couldn't help but be confused. Why should he give more?
"After all, Wuhuan and Xianbei are also helping us fight this time. The so-called family affairs are unfair and foreign affairs are difficult to deal with. Only when their people's lives are guaranteed can these mercenary cavalry kill the enemy for us without any worries.
But one thing you have to explain to them is that they gave us more this time because they accepted our employment, and they won’t have the same price next time.”
After what Yuan Shu said, Xun You heard something else.
"My lord means to give them a date first to let these people know the benefits of working with us. In this way, we will get a lot of convenience by hiring them again."
"I really can't hide anything from you. Also, we don't want them to send troops for the time being. After we capture Bingzhou, we will notify Tian Feng to inform them of their actions.
After all, these are aliens who lack discipline. Taking them to Bingzhou is a double-edged sword. If you don't hurt the enemy, you will hurt yourself. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them stay and wait until we attack the Qiang Hu and Xiongnu before letting them go.
"
Yuan Shu smiled and nodded at Xun You. This is what is called "if you want to take something, you must give it first." After establishing a good relationship, it will be much easier to use the prairie people to attack the prairie people.
"Xun You knew what to do and resigned."
Now that he understood what Yuan Shu meant, Xun You turned around and walked outside silently.
With Yuan Shu's advice, Xun You quickly settled the war horse trade with the Wuhuan and Xianbei people. After Jizhou Youzhou paid a series of supplies such as grain, ironware, daily necessities, etc., 20,000 war horses were able to ride on a thousand horses.
He was escorted first to Youzhou and then directly to Changshan County.
Time passed by, and after two months and twenty days of preparation, the conditions for the expedition to Bingzhou were finally mature.
The two cavalry groups were reorganized and expanded to recruit 25,000 mercenaries each, becoming the highest-established troops under Yuan Shu's command.
During this preparation period, the craftsmanship camp contributed the most, because with the new steel filling method, steel production has been greatly increased, and the biggest factor restricting them has disappeared.
Under Yuan Shu's incentive plan, within two months, the Craftsman Camp produced nearly a hundred warrior giant crossbows (scattering giant crossbows), with 300,000 supporting crossbow arrows, which was more than Yuan Shu imagined.
One-third.
Yuan Nu (Zhuge Liannu) is not only smaller than the warrior's giant crossbow, but also has no difficulty compared with ordinary infantry crossbows. In two months, it produced 1,500 units and 1.5 million special crossbow arrows.
branch.
The most gratifying thing here is the Hunyu Sword. Within two months, they took turns day and night, people stopped and the furnace was shut down, and delivered a total of 23,000 swords to Yuan Shu. Not only did they complete the task assigned to them by Yuan Shu, but they also
Three thousand handles were produced in excess of the quota.
There were 23,000 pure jade swords. Zhao Yun and Gao Lan's two cavalry armies each received 8,000 swords. The Wei army and the Xianden army each received a thousand swords. Wen Chou's Huwei army received a full five thousand swords.
"My lord, everything is ready. When are you going to go on the expedition?"
Xun You came to Yuan Shu's house and reported to him about the expedition.
