Many times, you have to be there to feel the reality.
In the eyes of outsiders, the soldiers of Yiyang are a team, an invincible warrior who is extremely united and everyone is twisted into a rope. But on the second day after Cao Peng came to Yiyang Tun, he clearly felt that Yiyang
It seems that there are also huge hidden dangers hidden in the villages.
"Brother Tang, is Wei Dubo the younger brother of General Wei Tun?"
Deng Ji and Wei Yan were not in the camp and were handling their own affairs.
As a minister, he must ensure the timely supply of food, wages, and supplies. In this regard, Deng Ji undoubtedly has a huge advantage. He has served as an official in Jiyang County all year round and is very sensitive to things like data. Therefore, when he took office
On the first day, huge flaws in Yiyang Tun were discovered. For example, the soldiers' weapons had not been repaired for a long time and had to be replaced. When spring came, the soldiers' armor also had to be replaced. At the same time, the tattered black jackets
, it is difficult to withstand the chill of spring nights and needs to be replaced.
According to Wei Yan, Yiyangtun has not received new clothes for a year!
On the one hand, it was because Wei Yan did not understand these things, and on the other hand, it was due to the deduction and suppression from Shangguan. As Yiyang Qu was ambushed in Wuling Mountain and almost the entire army was wiped out, in the eyes of many people, the existence of Yiyang soldiers was
It seems to have become dispensable.
In addition, Wei Yan was not very good at life, so it was inevitable that he would be left out.
The argument of Yiyang County is that the Yiyang military soldiers are not under the jurisdiction of Yiyang County, so they have no obligation to bear their food and supplies; while the governor of Nanyang County also says that the Yiyang military soldiers are stationed in Yiyang County, and there should be Yiyang soldiers.
The county is responsible, but Nanyang County has no responsibility...
Just kick the ball, you kick it over, I'll kick it over!
Although Wei Yan tried his best to maintain Yiyang military soldiers, he could only barely maintain it.
Now, these matters are taken over by Deng Ji, who is naturally familiar with the process. He is familiar with the law and knows how to handle various relationships.
Don't look at others as honest, but being honest does not mean being a fool.
If Deng Ji didn't know these things, he wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in Jiyang County, let alone gain the respect of the previous county magistrate.
Therefore, early in the morning, Deng Ji led his people to the Chinese army's stronghold.
After Cao Peng completed the drill with Tang Ji, he followed him around the camp.
Tang Ji nodded, "Not only is he a clan brother, but Uncle Wei should be Brother Wei's disciple."
"You mean..."
"Well, he is the only son of the old military lord."
No wonder!
Wei Yan took great care of Wei Ping. According to his seniority, Wei Ping was not qualified to take up the post of Du Bo. There were originally five soldiers in Yiyang, including Tang Ji. Wei Ping was the youngest and had been in the army for a long time.
In the shortest time, it is theoretically impossible for him to have his turn.
No one would have any objection to Tang Ji being appointed as Du Bo.
His martial arts skills were only inferior to those of Wei Yan, and he had been in the army the longest. In the past six years, Tang Ji killed nearly a hundred soldiers. In terms of military merit, this was certainly justified. However, Wei Ping was appointed as Du Bo, and no one else in the army expressed any concern.
Dissatisfied, it seemed that it was natural for him to become Du Bo. Cao Peng had not thought clearly at first, but now that Tang Ji explained the situation, he immediately understood the mystery.
"Brother Tang, it seems to me that Uncle Wei Duen is quite indifferent to General Wei Tun."
If those words had been spoken by someone else, Tang Ji might have drawn his sword against him.
However, Cao Peng was a child. At the age of fourteen, in Tang Ji's eyes, he was no different from a baby.
He smiled bitterly, looked around and nodded when no one was around.
"Ah Fu, there are some things you don't understand!" Tang Ji sighed, "During the Battle of Wuling Mountain, Yiyang Qu suffered heavy casualties. Brother Wei was a garrison general at the time, serving as the vanguard. When the Wuxi barbarians launched an attack,
Brother Wei was in the front and could not return to support the central army. As a result, the old military leader died in the battle at Wuling Mountain, and his 200 troops were defeated, and the entire army was wiped out. Wei Ping did not participate in the war at that time and belonged to the rear army.
Brother Wei did not rescue the old Junhou, which made him very dissatisfied.
In fact, it wasn't that Brother Wei was unwilling to rescue at that time, but... the terrain in Wuling Mountain was complicated, and we and those Wuxi barbarians were at a disadvantage if we fought against it. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and Brother Wei had no time to rescue. From a tight siege
When the enemy came out, Brother Wei's troops also suffered heavy casualties, and he almost lost his life. But Wei Ping believed that Brother Wei did it on purpose."
Cao Peng asked in surprise: "Why? General Wei Tun was seriously injured. Uncle Wei Du should be able to understand."
Tang Ji bit his thick lips, hesitated for a moment and then whispered softly: "After the old military lord died in the battle, someone once recommended Wei Ping to take over the Yiyang military force. But the brothers felt that Wei Ping was too young to take on the responsibility.
The banner of revolting against the Yangwu soldiers... Brother Wei is usually very good to the brothers, and he is very skilled in martial arts and has an official position. So the brothers all support Brother Wei to take over the leadership of the Yiyang warriors... Oh, what are you fighting for? What's the matter?
What's there to fight for? After the Yiyang military soldiers arrived at Wuling Mountain, their vitality was severely weakened. With just a few of them, they couldn't even make up a team.
If it weren't for these old brothers, Brother Wei might have become famous long ago and wouldn't need to stay in this half-dead place."
Tang Ji's last words were almost whiny.
But Cao Peng heard an unusual meaning from this sentence.
Rubbing his face, he didn't know what to say. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, let alone such a team that is almost entirely formed by fellow villagers. Where there are people, there will be fights...
It's really hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing.
"Afu, please don't tell others what I just said."
"I know I know!"
Tang Ji grinned innocently, "Originally, at the beginning of last year, Wen Sima from Xiangyang wanted Brother Wei to come over.
But Brother Wei couldn't bear to part with these old brothers, and he didn't agree in the end. If it weren't for us being a drag, Brother Wei could at least become a military prince now, which is more than enough."
"Wen Sima?"
"Well, it was Sima Wen of Nanyang who hired General Wen Zhongye."
This Sima is a local official with a rank of six hundred stones. It is also an extremely important official position.
Cao Peng was shocked. He didn't expect Wenpin to be Sima Nanyang.
"Okay, after saying so much, please don't tell anyone." Tang Ji smiled and stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and rubbed Cao Peng's head, "You are a smart kid, and Brother Wei thinks highly of you.
It’s just that your bones are too weak, so you need to eat more meat in the future.”
Perhaps, in Tang Ji's simple thoughts, eating meat is the best way to strengthen the body.
Cao Peng smiled and did not ask any more questions.
He stood up, looked at the sky, and said softly: "It's getting dark, and Deng Jie must be back from there. Let's go take a look."
In the military camp, there are rules in the military camp.
Although Cao Peng had never been a soldier, he knew some basic habits.
At least here, he couldn't call Deng Ji 'brother-in-law' anymore. That would give people the feeling that Deng Ji was nepotistic, which was not conducive to Deng Ji's actions. Therefore, without Deng Ji opening his mouth, Cao Peng took the initiative to change his attitude towards Deng Ji.
He was respectfully called 'Deng Jiecong'.
Wei Yan also expressed satisfaction with this.
"Uncle Tang Du, Uncle Tang!"
Outside the gate of the camp, a school swordsman hurriedly ran over.
Tang Ji recognized that this school swordsman was the one assigned to Deng Ji.
"What's up?"
"Deng Jiecong asked you to find some people to help pick up the things... Haha, Deng Jiecong has brought us a lot of luggage and armor today, as well as the weapons that were just delivered. Now brothers can change these tattered clothes
Once replaced! There are too many, so I can’t get them all at once.”
"Deng Jiecong is such a good person!"
When Tang Ji heard this, he immediately became happy.
It's been almost a year, and I haven't changed my armor or weapons!
The brothers even have to wear last year's winter clothes during the Chinese New Year, which is really a bit shabby.
Tang Ji immediately called his master and left in a hurry. But before leaving, he asked Cao Peng to stay in the camp, saying that Cao Peng had thin arms and legs and could not be used.
Cao Peng did not refuse.
After watching Tang Ji and others leave, he stood between the two wooden poles, stretched, turned and walked towards his small tent...
When passing by the big tent, Cao Peng unexpectedly discovered that Ma Yu came out from behind the big tent.
However, he looked sneaky and very careful. Cao Peng quickly hid behind a small tent and looked attentively. Ma Yu saw that there was no one around and walked to the back of the camp. Most of the Jiyang prisoners lived in the row behind.
It's a small tent, so there's nothing weird about it.
But not long after Ma Yu left, he saw a young man coming out from behind the tent.
At this time, it was dusk and the light was pretty good.
Cao Peng recognized at a glance that the young man was none other than Wei Yan's younger brother, Wei Ping, the newly appointed chief of Yiyang Village.
Could it be that he was talking to Ma Yu just now? Logically speaking, Wei Ping doesn't need to go behind someone's back to find Ma Yu like this? He is Uncle Du, and Ma Yu is a pawn. In a master-slave relationship, why should he be so secretive? Cao Peng
His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
What does Wei Ping have to do with Ma Yu?
Just as he was doubting, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from outside the camp.
Cao Peng quickly turned around and saw Wei Yan leading a group of cavalry into the camp at lightning speed.
"Where's Tangji?"
Wei Yanren asked loudly before he got off his horse.
At the door of the main tent, Wei Ping hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Tang Du is not here for something, what's the matter? What happened?"
"Wei Ping, you are here just in time. Find Deng Jiecong and Tang Jidu immediately. Also, ask all the chiefs to come and gather at the big tent."
"Brother, what happened?"
Wei Yan jumped off his horse and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao has sent out troops! Early the day after tomorrow, we will escort the grain and grass to Wancheng!"
Wei Yan didn't deliberately hide it, and his voice was not quiet.
But Cao Peng stood behind the small tent and heard it really...
In an instant, his body trembled slightly: Cao Cao, are you sending troops?
A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have captured something. His body trembled slightly, and he clenched his teeth subconsciously...
