In fact, Yuan Vulture saw this piece of land, which is Luzon Island, and now it has been named Yuanzhou, but they don't know it yet, and the place where they landed is Manila in the future, this is not Han Yi's plan, because Yuan Jie They crossed the sea, Manila has a natural port, of course they choose to dock here, and their support is also from this side, of course they choose this place as a base camp, they can advance or retreat.

It can be seen that geography determines everything, not people.

People can only go against the sky, but they can't go against the sky.

.....

"Uncle..."

When Yuan Fei saw the reinforcements coming, he was very excited, but when he saw Yuan Vulture coming down from the boat, he was immediately dumbfounded, because this was going to cross the sea, and it was impossible to send someone to report in advance, Yuan Fei didn't know that Yuan Vulture would come, and when he saw Yuan Vulture, he knew that their happy days had come to an end.

"And your Uncle Cui."

Cui Pingzhong walked out from behind and said with a smile.

Yuan Fei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "Yuan Fei has seen Third Uncle Cui. ”

Yuan Vulture looked at him with disgust, and said with a calm face: "What about Yuan Jie's bastard?" ”

“......！”

Yuan Fei hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yuan Jie, he didn't know that you were here, uncle." ”

Yuan Vulture: "That means he didn't have his legs cut off by the enemy?" ”

Yuan Fei shook his head and said, "That's not true, although Yuan Jie was not lightly injured, but now he has recovered." ”

Yuan Vultures let out a long sigh again, and said with great regret: "How did the Buddha pass away, he didn't even cut off his legs, it's really a pity." ”

Yuan Fei's face was flushed and he couldn't make a sound.

Yuan Vultures looked at Yuan Fei again, and said: "How did Uncle teach you before, if you can fight, you will fight to the death, if you can't fight, run away, even the beasts know such a truth, it can be seen that you are not even as good as pigs, and if you can't win, you will make up, and our Yuan family's face will be lost to you." ”

Yuan Fei nodded and said, "What my uncle taught me is that my nephew knows that he is wrong. ”

Cui Pingzhong said suddenly: "The scenery here is quite good, you can take us to have a look." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yuan Fei nodded hurriedly and quickly glanced at Cui Pingzhong.

"What is." Yuan Vulture looked at Cui Pingzhong and said, "I said Lao Cui, are you here to see the scenery?" ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "Then I'll put it another way, familiarize yourself with the terrain here, after all, we are here to fight." ”

"That's pretty much it."

Yuan Fei nodded, and said to Yuan Fei again: "Don't lead the way yet." ”

"Uncle, third uncle, please here."

Yuan Fei hurriedly led the way, and he was bitter in his heart, how could he send such a devil here! He hurriedly glanced at one of his attendants.

The entourage understood, quietly retreated, and then took the path and hurriedly went to inform Yuan Jie.

Although Cui Pingzhong had been to the sea in Penglai before, it was the first time he came back to this tropical island, only to see that the island was green, full of green farmland, and it seemed that it was all farms, and many people were naked and working in the farmland. In the clear blue sky, every once in a while, flocks of birds flew by, and they couldn't help but nod and say, "This place is really good!" ”

The vultures were also looking around, and he actually wanted to ask if there were any wild beasts in the vicinity, but now he had to maintain his uncle's majesty, and he didn't ask.

After walking for a while, they walked through a relatively loose woods, and came to a very open area, which did not seem to have just been developed, it should have been inhabited here a long time ago, and the middle was a very large cottage, almost all of them were built of wood, and the style was very rigorous, square, flat and stable, magnificent and atmospheric, at a glance it was the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, with the cottage as the center, surrounded by a small camp, and everywhere you could see warriors with spears and bows and arrows, dark skin, short stature, but very strongEveryone is in good order, and the road is very smooth.

Cui Pingzhong smiled: "It's not bad for you to govern here." ”

Yuan Vulture snorted: "This is also good, in our Central Plains, robbers can live in this kind of place." ”

Yuan Fei nodded and said, "Uncle taught me a lesson." ”

"Don't listen to him, you do manage this place well." Cui Pingzhong glared at Yuan Vulture angrily, and said: "However, can't you get some clothes to put on them, this man is fine, but I see that some women are also naked, this is really immoral!" ”

Yuan Fei said embarrassedly: "Third uncle, didn't the clothes be robbed by the Buddha's passing country, but they are all used to it, and when we came, they were like this." ”

Yuan Vulture: "I said Lao Cui, when do you care about this dress?" ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "I don't care about this, but I can't let a woman be naked, what kind of body is this." ”

Yuan Vulture grinned: "I don't think there's anything wrong, those women are so ugly, so dark, no different from men, it doesn't matter if you wear them or not." ”

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and ignored him.

A few people just came to the gate of the cottage, only to see a figure, almost rushing out.

It's not who Yuan Jie is.

"Uncle... Uncle...! ”

As soon as Yuan Jie raised his head, he suddenly saw Yuan Vulture, and his face immediately turned blue and purple with fright.

"I'm so glad to meet you kid."

Yuan Vultures laughed and slapped Yuan Jie's shoulder with a palm.

This seemingly inadvertent palm, almost didn't pat Yuan Jie to his knees, gritted the root of his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his cheeks, and he forcibly showed a smirk, "Uncle, why did you come?" ”

Yuan Vulture sighed: "Your grandfather, they asked me to help you collect the body, but I didn't expect you to be alive, it seems that I came for nothing!" ”

As soon as the words fell, his face changed, he glanced at Yuan Jie coldly, and then swaggered in.

Yuan Jie immediately bared his teeth, quickly rubbed his shoulders, and secretly glanced at Yuan Fei, who also smiled bitterly.

Yuan Vulture will not be polite, and directly come to the largest room in the village and sit down.

Yuan Jie, who came in later, hurriedly ordered someone to present wine and fruits.

I saw more than a dozen maids dressed in sackcloth walked in, these maids are still much better looking than those women who work, fifteen or sixteen years old, delicate appearance, although the complexion is relatively dark, but the inside is ruddy, the figure is not high, but very round, full, it is a unique style, the key is that the clothes are still relatively loose, and the chest is full of spring.

When the maidservants came in, they knelt beside them, carrying trays, fresh fruits, and delicious wine and meat.

"Not everyone is that ugly!" Yuan Vulture was stunned for a moment, and then said to Yuan Jie: "You kid will really enjoy it!" ”

Yuan Jie smiled and said, "Uncle is tired of traveling, or the little nephew will call a few maids to help uncle pinch it." ”

Yuan Vulture was a little moved, sitting on the boat, this arm was indeed a little sore.

But Cui Pingzhong is very unaccustomed to this kind of scene, after his wife's death, he has always lived alone, and he naturally does not like to be served, so he took the wine in his hand, and took a fruit in his hand, and then said: "Yuan Jie, let them step down, if we want to enjoy it, we will not come here." ”

"Oh......."

Yuan Jie responded in his mouth, but looked at Yuan Vulture.

Yuan Vulture glanced at Cui Pingzhong, hesitated for a while, and finally took the wine and meat in his hand, and said, "Stand down." ”

Yuan Jie hurriedly asked the maids to retreat.

Yuan Vultures first poured a sip of wine into it to quench their thirst, and then looked at Yuan Jie and Yuan Fei without saying a word.

Yuan Jie and Yuan Fei were as well-behaved as rabbits, they were really sitting with their legs between their legs, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Yuan Vultures sighed: "I'm so old, I have to travel thousands of miles to come here across mountains and seas... In Han Yi's words, I am here to help you wipe your ass, and if the Yuan family falls into your hands in the future, I think it will be able to toss for three or five years. ”

Yuan Jie's eyes were red, tears were about to flow out, he hung his head, and said ashamedly: "Uncle, we are ashamed of our trust in the family. ”

Yuan Fei also nodded straight.

The vultures turned their faces aside, as if they didn't want to look at them more, but their eyes were full of smiles.

Cui Pingzhong knew in his heart, this guy was Cheng Cheng to taunt Yuanjie and them, after all, he had been stuffy at sea for so many days, and he really felt that this guy was boring enough, and said with a smile: "This victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, you don't need to worry about it, just live." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said curiously: "But before I came, I heard that your situation here is very critical, but I don't seem to feel a sense of crisis. ”

Yuan Jie hurriedly said: "At the beginning of the year, the Buddha sent an army to attack, but it has been repelled by us. ”

Yuan Vulture's face tightened, and he said, "What? Only... Have you already beaten it? ”

Yuan Jie nodded in astonishment.

Yuan Fei said: "But the scale of that army is not large, I think it should be only tentative." ”

"Really?"

Yuan Vulture was happy again.

Yuan Fei also nodded in astonishment.

The two of them felt that the tone of the vulture was strange.

The vulture also seemed to sense that he was a little out of shape, coughed lightly, and said, "I would like to see what the barbarians on this island do. ”

He is here to fight, if the war is over, then he will collapse, dare to run for nothing.

Yuan Jie sneered: "Those barbarians, where is your opponent, uncle, in fact, grandpa doesn't need you uncle, just get some weapons for us." ”

"That..."

As soon as Yuan Vulture's mouth opened, he suddenly looked at Cui Pingzhong on the side, and said, "That can't be said either." As he spoke, he looked at Cui Pingzhong again and said, "Old Cui, what do you suggest?" ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, I don't even know the situation here, how dare I make a judgment." ”

Yuan Fei hurriedly informed Cui Pingzhong of their situation, and they currently had 3,000 elite soldiers under their command and controlled more than 10,000 households.

Yuan Vultures was surprised: "There are only so few people on this island? ”

Yuan Fei said: "It's more than that, but this place is full of jungles, mountains and islands, and the roads are open, and some tribes hide in the jungle, and we can't do anything about them, but this best place is in our hands, and we also transported a lot of slaves to Guangzhou." ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "Although there are not many people, they are not small compared to when you first came here, how do you rule here?" ”

Yuan Jie laughed and said, "Third uncle, if you want to say this, I'm afraid you won't believe it." ”

Cui Pingzhong sighed and said, "Then you should come and hear it." ”

Yuan Jie said: "When we came, there were some natives here, they just started to rely on their own numbers, and they were quite arrogant, and they wanted to drive us out, but as a result, there was a battle, and I found that as long as their chief died, the rest of the people didn't know what to do, and they didn't even know the most basic organization, so they could only follow us... Ha ha. ”

Yuan Vulture said: "Then you still have something to write back to brag?" ”

Yuan Jie blinked, and lowered his head silently.

Yuan Fei said again: "But this land is really good, but it can be regarded as not wrong, what is really planted here, there is no need to bother, the rice here is harvested three times a year, and it can't be eaten at all, so we can only use it to make wine." ”

"Really?"

Cui Pingzhong frowned slightly and said, "This is not necessarily a good thing." ”

Yuan Fei said: "What does the third uncle mean by this? ”

Cui Pingzhong said: "The fundamental cause of war is survival, and secondly, greed. It's like a hungry man, he will definitely go and steal other people's food, but the land here is so good that he can't go hungry even if he doesn't work hard, then there is no need for war. Not to mention that their combat effectiveness must be inferior to our Central Plains soldiers, but more importantly, it is difficult for an army that fights for no reason to defeat the enemy, and in addition, the enemy has many more men and horses than us. ”

Yuan Jie said: "Third Uncle means that we focus on defense?" ”

Cui Pingzhong shook his head and smiled: "No, we have to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with the other party." ”

Yuan Vulture: "But not on land. ”

Cui Pingzhong nodded and said: "It is a decisive battle with the other party at sea, and if you fight at sea, everyone has no way out, which can arouse the sense of distress of these soldiers and force them to fight bravely." Secondly, it can weaken the superiority of the enemy's forces, and at the same time enhance the superiority of our warships and weapons, if we can destroy the main force of the other side at sea, then at least we can ensure that we are invincible; as for the landing operation, in my opinion, we have to look at the support of the Central Plains, and this amount of troops cannot withstand the consumption of the landing. ”

Yuan Vulture: "Fortunately, your inability to make the enemy arrogant, they will definitely attack in a big way, and what we have to do now is to help them choose a grave to bury them." ”
