Chapter 418: The Beginning

Lu Yuan was drinking sullen wine at home, and at this time, apart from drinking stuffy wine, he couldn't think of anything else he could do.

The barbarians, who were supposed to be rebels, were surrendered inexplicably, using the excuse he made every year, and the barbarians should be mainly appeased.

Yes, every year when Lu Yuan was in the state capital, he used this reason to be able to treat the barbarians leniently and ask the state government for more money and food, but when this reason was given from Liu Yi, Lu Yuan felt like eating a fly.

Moreover, Liu Yi also recruited a large number of barbarian soldiers to train in the new city, you are a young man, even if you add a false position of Nanzhongcheng, there is no need to recruit so many soldiers and horses, right? Now there is no war in Nanzhong?

Zhu Ti's big household was slaughtered by the barbarians, and the barbarians were surrendered and taken over by Liu Yi, and the barbarian taxes were no longer in his charge in the future, and Zhu Ti's officials and people were now directly managed by the Shaofu.

When he went out, Lu Yuan found that the people who were afraid of him like a tiger in the past no longer cared about themselves, even if he stood in front of them, all he got was a disgusted look, and with the establishment of the new city, the people of Zhu Ti were moved away, and the big family Liu Yi may have promised a new home, and they also moved away, but only the Taishou Mansion is like a child without a father, no one cares, and now he stays in this empty earthen city all day long, Lu Yuan gradually discovers a fact...... I'm hollowed out!

Without realizing it at all, the power of the Taishou Mansion was being emptied by Liu Yi little by little, and the network of contacts and relationships that had been operating in Zhu Ti for more than ten years was completely dismantled by a barbarian invasion.

And Lu Yuan sadly found that even the remaining big families were a little hostile to themselves at the moment, as for the reason, it was probably the trouble caused by the 50 million money, which was borrowed in the name of the Taishou Mansion, but Liu Yi did not give them any convenience except for the promised new house, as for the original convenience...... I'm too guarded, how can I be satisfied?

The connections and forces that have been operating for more than ten years are now as unreal as a mirror, and what is even more uncomfortable is the kind of county Taishou who is feared by thousands of people, and has become a disgusting existence overnight, and that huge contrast makes Lu Yuan slump, and next, is it his turn to clean himself up?

"Fujun, don't drink anymore." Master Zheng came in from outside the door, looked at the empty wine jar on the table, and said bitterly.

"How dare you come!?" Seeing Master Zheng, Lu Yuan's eyes were a little red, everything seemed to start with Master Zheng's betrayal, that's right, in Lu Yuan's opinion, the reason why Liu Yi targeted himself must be that Master Zheng didn't keep his mouth shut during the three days that Liu Yi was imprisoned, he was a traitor!

"Husband, we can't fight him." Master Zheng smiled bitterly, and did not refute Lu Yuan's complaints and anger, but just knelt down at Lu Yuan's hand: "Since he first entered Nanzhong, he has already laid out, and the barbarians in the Zhuti area have listened to him, from the very beginning, he knows about our affairs, even if he doesn't have a humble position, I'm afraid it will ......."

In the end, Master Zheng sighed and didn't say any more.

"What's the use of talking about that now?" Lu Yuan looked at Master Zheng's book for a long time, drank the wine sullenly, and didn't pour it for Master Zheng.

"Fujun, we may not have a chance to wait!" Master Zheng suddenly moved forward and said in a low voice: "The trouble of the barbarians has been eliminated, but Liu Yi did not withdraw the army, but recruited troops and horses, why?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Yuan was a little upset, he didn't react for a while, and looked at Master Zheng blankly.

"Don't forget, why did Liu Yi come to Nanzhong this time!" Master Zheng reminded helplessly.

"Copper Mountain!?" Lu Yuan shuddered, and the wine completely woke up.

Why do these people dare to ignore Liu Bei, who is now rising strongly? The biggest reason is that there is a copper mountain in his hands, and there is more than one, such a huge benefit, who is willing to give up and hand over most of it? Besides, all kinds of specialties in Nanzhong can also bring them huge benefits, don't look at the remoteness of Nanzhong, there is a big family here, placed in the Central Plains, only in terms of wealth, it is definitely not inferior to those big families.

If Liu Yi's actions are to gather strength to seek Tongshan, then this is not the business of Zhu Ti's family.

Looking at Master Zheng, Lu Yuan's eyes became a little deep: "You mean, he wants to do something to Jianning?" ”

"Not bad." Zheng Zhushu nodded affirmatively and said: "Right now, Liu Yi thinks he has a plan and has relaxed the monitoring of the Fujun, why don't the Fujun take the opportunity to escape from Zhu Ti and go to Jianning to join Yonghong, explain the reason, and invite that Yonghong to be anxious about the surname of Nanzhong and make a joint move, when the time comes, why can't you take back Zhu Ti?" ”

Liu Yi is what if he has these thousands of barbarians? The real gathering place of the barbarians is Jianning, Qiqi, and Yuewang, not Zhu Ti!

"Good!" Lu Yuan's serious confusion and decadence were gradually replaced by fighting spirit, and the grievances he had been suffering from these days seemed to have found an outlet, he stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "In the coming day, I will kill that Liu Yi with my own hands to cut the hatred in my heart!" ”

Master Zheng said: "Without further ado, why don't we leave immediately?" ”

"It's just that the wife and concubine at home ......" Lu Yuan hesitated a little when he heard this, the family is still here.

"Fujun, the big thing is done, why don't you have a wife!" Master Zheng said in a deep voice: "As long as he can lead the army to kill him back one day, he can save you, my wife and children!" ”

"Good!" With a little bit of wine, Lu Yuan's blood surged when he heard it, and he agreed immediately, so he decided to take Master Zheng to Jianning to join Yonghong, and the two of them didn't clean up, but just brought some food, found two horses and went on the road.

The old city of Zhuti is now an empty city, and even if there is one who has not left, no one will pay attention to this Taishou.

"Youchang, just let them go like this." On the city wall, Wei Yue took the bamboo tube glasses that Liu Yi gave him, and after watching the two disappear at the end of realization, he turned his head to look at Ma Yandao.

"Well, it's time." Ma Tan nodded: "Tinghou is about to send troops, it is inconvenient for this person to stay in the rear, it is better to leave early, and it will save a lot of things, and the general will take someone to confiscate his family property." ”

"Did the one surnamed Zheng really let him go?" Wei Yue asked.

"Keep his family, since this person is willing to be used by me, I will not be embarrassed." Ma Jian nodded, a master book, how much can you be greedy even if you are greedy? Besides, if this person is put on the other party's side, it will still be useful in the future, and it would be a bit stupid to demolish the bridge before crossing the river.

Wei Yue nodded in agreement, and went straight to take people to confiscate Lu Yuan's family property, everyone left, and the charges were enough, if it weren't for Lu Yuan still bearing the heavy responsibility of reporting the news, how could Liu Yi let him go free in the old city?

The matter of raiding the house here is going very smoothly, the tree is falling and scattered, after losing the aura that Taishou brought to Lu Yuan, all the awe is naturally gone, the voice of the woman crying and crying of the woman in the Taishou Mansion, the family who is about to be dismissed secretly carries some valuable things in his arms, and the soldiers who raid the house occasionally rub oil on the crying women, and the woman who has lost her support dares to be angry and dare not speak.

On the other hand, the training of the barbarian army has come to an end, at least the queue is quite neat, and the queue can run while maintaining the queue and the queue will not be opened, it is enough to be able to do this, as for the combat skills, the barbarians themselves are there, and the difference from before is that those burly female soldiers who let men see that they want to defend themselves are now in a separate army, led by Lu Lingqi alone, there are not many people, only a thousand people, but the momentum is definitely not inferior to the male soldiers.

This is probably the second female soldier since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As for the first one, in fact, it is not very clear whether Liu Yi exists, according to legend, Emperor Guangwu specially established a female soldier to accompany the army in order to protect Yin Lihua, who had not become the queen at that time, from being persecuted by Empress Guo, but whether it is really something remains to be verified, but even if there is, Liu Yi feels that this female soldier can definitely blow up that one in terms of combat effectiveness.

"Tinghou, what is this?" Ma Liang looked at Liu Yi's model and wondered.

"Squirt trains." Liu Yi squeezed it, and saw a flame erupting from the beast-shaped model from his mouth.

Ma Hao picked it up curiously, and it looked like it was wooden, but it was heavy to start.

"There is a copper gall filled with fire oil, and the mouth of the beast is also made of copper." Liu Yi explained with a smile.

"What's the use?" Although Ma Liang thinks this thing is quite magical, he doesn't understand what the meaning of making this thing is?

"I heard that there is a kind of rattan armor among the Southern Barbarians that is quite strong, the sword is difficult to hurt, maybe it can be used, and the barbarians are good at fighting fierce beasts, and they can always use it." Liu Yi thought about it carefully, many of the books he had read in his previous life had been blurred, but the memory always existed.

"Is there a physical thing?" Ma Hao asked curiously.

"It's too bulky to make and it's hard to handle, and now it's just made into parts, consigned in the past, and assembled when needed." Liu Yi shook his head, it is not difficult to make the real thing, but the weight is not light, even if the organic bracket can move by itself, but the speed is really outrageously slow, it is better to do the parts directly, and quickly splice them together when needed, which is more convenient.

Ma Liang looked at the spray train, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Recently, some people have been sent to each cave one after another, and Zhao Guang came to ask, whether he has been incorporated into the army?" ”

"As a troop escort for grain and grass." Liu Yi shook his head: "There are only so many armors in our army, and the army has just been trained, plus these people, it is easy to confuse the formation." ”

The more soldiers the better, of course the numerical advantage is useful, but if the new ones will break the original formation, it will affect the overall combat effectiveness, it is better to separate the new ones as logistics and support, and then go up when needed, now that the plan has begun, there is no time for Liu Yi to continue training.
