Chapter 603: Iron Ore
"What is the reason?"
Xu Mao said fairly, "King Fu is the youngest brother of today's saint, he has always been very favored, so his fief is relatively very rich, but his fief is rich, but it is not the fertile land, or the transportation is convenient, but it is rich in iron ore, and it is by relying on the development of iron ore, and the life of King Fu Li is still very good." ”
Hearing that King Fu's fief had iron ore, Li Yu's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, this kind of thing is too important for a country, if the prince who owns iron ore rebels, it will be an inexhaustible weapon, too dangerous.
Why is this kind of thing not in the hands of the imperial court?
However, Li Yu thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything, Xu Maogong continued, "King Fu's fief is rich, young and strong people have gone to mine iron ore, but there are very few soldiers, so the soldiers and horses in King Fu's fief are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are few strong soldiers, so he is naturally reluctant to send them to the capital." ”
Speaking of this, Xu Maogong said again, "Fortunately, King Fu's fief is next to the capital, and there is no danger in ordinary times, and there is no need for soldiers and horses to guard it." ”
The implication is that because King Fu's fief is close to the capital and is under Li Yuan's nose, even if it is such an important thing as iron ore, Tang Yuanhe is very relieved to hand it over to King Fu Tang Que to do.
After Xu Maogong finished speaking, Li Yu held his chin and said, "Mr. Xu, now that the soldiers and horses of these three vassal kings are old, weak, sick and disabled, do you think we should move them, or should we not move?" ”
It stands to reason that it doesn't matter if you want these thousands of soldiers and horses, if you fall out, it's not good.
It's just that if you endure it like this, you will inevitably be despised.
Xu Maogong thought for a moment, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, in these places, except for King Fu, King Qing and King Yi are only afraid that they have the throne of the emperor, and they will have to fight with them in the future, their soldiers and horses, don't do it, after all, it is not easy to trust, and when fighting, if there are relatives who have a good relationship between the two armies, you say whether they kill or not, it is possible to decide the situation of the war, but although they no longer want their soldiers and horses, their subordinates think that they can't be cheapened like this." ”
"What does Mr. Xu mean?"
"Those old and weak soldiers, it's useless for us to keep them, we might as well rebel and then send them back."
Hearing this, Li Yu smiled lightly, and Xiong Kuohai pursed his lips and said, "If these people go back, Qingwang and they are afraid that they are very jealous, and if they rebel, it won't be of much use, right?" ”
Xu Maogong shook his head, "No, it's useful, these people stay in Qingzhou, Qingwang has to be on guard against them at all times, and even do some inhumane things to them, and as long as Qingwang does it, do you guess that he still has majesty in his fiefdom, what will the soldiers in the army think when they see him kill veterans, the changes in people's hearts are very subtle, any little thing, at a certain time, can be used, and now what we have to do is to lay out." ”
"Of course, if Li Qing doesn't do some inhumane things, the existence of these people can also share some of Li Qing's energy, and even do something beneficial to us when necessary, after all, they were rebelled against us."
Xu Maogong said casually, and even some of the words were subtle, which ordinary people couldn't understand, or didn't understand, but Li Yu still just smiled lightly.
"What Mr. Xu said makes sense, then this matter will be handed over to Mr. Xu, but on the side of King Fu, this prince still wants his iron ore."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means to buy iron?"
"No, the prince wants the iron ore to belong to the imperial court."
Xu Maogong frowned slightly, but then he understood what Li Yu meant.
-----------------
Outside the city, the Dragon Tooth Army was in the east of the city, so the Tiger Wolf Army camp was located in the west of the city.
There is a vacant lot in the west of the city, which has been renovated and has become the military camp of the Tiger and Wolf Army.
The barracks were large and heavily guarded.
On the third day after the soldiers and horses from all over the country came here, Li Yu took the majestic sea and them to the tiger and wolf army camp.
The military camp of the Tiger and Wolf Army is very large, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country, but more than 20,000 people are not very conspicuous in the barracks.
The group felt that the tiger and wolf army were about to meet these soldiers and horses, when a soldier hurriedly ran over, "His Royal Highness the Prince, something happened ......"
Hearing this, Li Yu was a little uneasy and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Two groups of soldiers and horses are fighting."
"Fighting?" Li Yu frowned, "How can you fight?" ”
"It's all people from different places, no one obeys anyone, and it's strange if they don't fight."
Li Yu was stunned, these soldiers and horses were drawn from more than a dozen vassal kings, and they were all strong soldiers, and they may still have a lot of fame among the vassal kings in various places, so they came here, I'm afraid no one can get used to anyone, right?
It's normal to fight over a trivial matter.
"Let's go, go and see, and tell Prince Ben about the situation."
The group went over there, and the soldier explained the situation.
"Here's the thing, outside the barracks today, a wild horse suddenly ran in, the wild horse is really beautiful, the captains of the two battalions fell in love with this horse at the same time, and they both liked it very much, but there was only one horse, and everyone said whose it was, but no one let anyone, and then the fight started."
Hearing that it was actually for a horse to fight, Li Yu suddenly didn't know what to say, if it was because of something else, it would be a bit unreasonable, but as a soldier, who doesn't love horses, fighting for horses, it seems that there is nothing wrong with fighting.
But in the military, there must be a rule for many things.
Soon, they had come to the place, it was a large open space, two groups of people were facing each other, and in the middle, two people were fighting back and forth.
One of them, with a beard, uses a Xuanhua board axe, and the other, with a body of muscles, looks very strong, and a large knife dances in his hand, which is also airtight.
The two of them are fighting back and forth, and it is a little difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.
After Li Yu came over, he stood aside and watched for a moment, but he didn't stop it, just asked, "Xiongkuohai, how are these two people's martial arts?" ”
"The martial arts of these two people can also be seen, fighting on the battlefield, they are also two fierce generals, but compared to me, they are far behind." ”
The two were fighting fiercely, and when they heard the words of Xiong Kuohai, they suddenly stopped.
The man with the Xuanhua board axe glanced at the majestic sea and said, "In the next way, bite the gold, dare to ask what you call it?" ”
The man with the knife smiled, "In the next cow Jinda, do you dare to try it with us?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda, after hearing these two names, Li Yu suddenly smiled, I didn't expect these two people to be here.
