Chapter 115: Growth

This is the second time Yang Feng has come to Leaky River today, but this time the amount of information represented by Ye Zhao is undoubtedly a great news, for Yang Feng's request, Ye Zhao naturally agreed without hesitation, as for the conditions, it was a little unexpected by Yang Feng, Ye Zhao did not reduce the conditions because of the heavy blow to Yinye Cave, it is still the original condition, as long as Yinye Cave agrees to naturalize, Ye Zhao can build a city for them, and will send people to send food to Yinye Cave, this time Meng Shu and others broke through Yinye Cave, almost emptying Yinye Cave, In order to avoid a large number of attrition due to the food crisis in Yinyedong in the following days, Ye Zhao promised to borrow a batch of grain from Yinyedong morally to help Yinyedong survive this extermination crisis.

"You say, is this Meng Huo our person?" Sending Yang Feng, who got the promise and left happily, Ye Zhao groped his chin and looked at the generals, how did he feel that Meng Shu had been helping him complete the integration of Nanzhong? Because of Meng Shu, Ye Zhao's progress in subduing Nanzhong was much faster, especially this Yinye Cave incident, although it was a tragic thing for Yinye Cave, but for Ye Zhao, not only could he easily subdue Yinye Cave, but it was also very likely that he would take the Yinye Cave at a very small cost, and go all out to deal with the barbarians in the Yongchang and Yuewang areas.

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help laughing, now that they think about it, if it weren't for Meng Shu gathering these Nanban cave masters, Ye Zhao would have subdued the Nanban, but if it really went on like this, although the enemy's forces were scattered, it seemed to be easier, but the time was more durable, and the consumption of food and grass was not important, and there was an invisible miasma everywhere in this southern and central land, and the non-combat attrition caused by the harsh environment was not necessarily less than the attrition caused by the war.

Joining forces to fight Ye Zhao like this now, if the war goes well, it can even save Ye Zhao two years of peace.

"My lord, there will be something unclear in the end!" Huang Quan stood up and bowed.

"It's okay for Gongheng to be outspoken." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile.

"It's not that the last general is greedy for small profits, it's just that the lord wants to build this land in the south, and he has to use money and grain everywhere, if the Yinye Cave has not been captured by Meng Huo and others, the lord has lured him with generous profits, and it is not impossible, but now, most of the population of the Yinye Cave has been lost, and the decline is a foregone conclusion, so it can save a lot of benefits, I don't know why the lord still treats him well?" Huang Quan arched his hand at Ye Zhao.

Even Yang Gao was ready to make great concessions to get Ye Zhao's help, and Ye Zhao's choice was a little incomprehensible.

Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "Gong Heng, how has the training of the soldiers been recently?" ”

"This ......" Huang Quan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, as a top talent in the new class of Chengdu/Du Academy, he could talk eloquently in front of Ye Zhao, and when he was a county official in Ba County, he could also handle things in an orderly manner, but this time, Ye Zhao let him lead a battalion alone, he was originally full of confidence, there was Ye Zhao in the academy who wrote a book dedicated to military training, recording Ye Zhao's training experience, and several generals were also taking turns to teach, Huang Quan thought that he had learned very well, But things are a little different from what I imagined.

Because Ye Zhao implemented a policy of separating training and leading troops, there would be a run-in process when the generals took over the troops, and half of the barbarians surrendered their troops, what Huang Quan had to do was to maximize the abilities of the two teams as much as possible.

Therefore, he chose to train the army, hoping to smooth out the generation gap between the two groups of people through competition, but the gap between this plan and the actual situation made Huang Quan a little overwhelmed.

The Shu army looks down on these defeated generals, and the chaotic formation of the barbarian soldiers has become the target of ridicule, and the barbarian army and the Shu army have few defeats in heads-up, looking down on each other, looking down on each other, and Huang Quan rummaged through the books, and didn't know how to solve this problem, these days just this matter, it made her anxious, and it also hit his self-confidence very much, I thought that he was not inferior to Zhang Ren, Gan Ning and Guan Ping, but those three can handle this kind of thing properly.

"This military heart is like the human heart, and it makes no sense to blindly read from the book." Ye Zhao shook his head, Huang Quan's matter, he has been paying attention to it, mediating the national issue, is the main contradiction in Yizhou next, and it is also the first assessment that Ye Zhao gave Huang Quan.

"Gongheng is talented, no one in this account does not admit this, but as far as your performance over the past few days, you can ask Yun Chang to see what he says." Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan's expression and smiled.

"The talent is indeed there, but it is only empty talk, like that Zhao Kuo, talking about soldiers on paper, the soldiers under his command have different orders, and they are at a loss, they are really a rabble, if they are broken by the end, only five hundred elite soldiers can defeat it!" Guan Yu bowed and said.

Huang Quan's face turned pale when he heard it, and he talked on paper, this is a very bad evaluation, and now he is crowned on his head, and there is no way to refute it, which makes him feel a little unspeakable aggrieved in his heart.

"Have you ever asked Yun Chang how to govern the army?" Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and asked.

"The last general...... I thought that the end would be solved. Huang Quan lowered his head and said.

"Or can it be understood that you don't think that Yun Chang can teach you anything?" Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and shook his head and sighed: "Yun Chang has joined the army since the Zhongping period, fought in the south and the north, and was later named the Sima of the Yuyang Army by the imperial court, guarding the border fortress, often fighting with the Hu people outside the Saiwai, and there are Hu soldiers under his command, but he can order and prohibit, he is the most suitable person to teach you, I don't know why you are arrogant, but if you can't let go of the arrogance in your heart, you still hand over the military power, and you will be a staff member under my account in the future, I admit that you are talented, if you talk about layout naturalization, you are not weaker than anyone, But if you can't turn your talent into actual ability, you can only be a staff member in this life. ”

"Lord, please give Quan another chance!" Huang Quan clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly.

"Yes, but I hope that your soldiers will be of some use before the next expedition!" Ye Zhao got up and said indifferently.

"Whoa! The last general commands! Huang Quan didn't say anything about Yinye Cave anymore, and bowed down to take the order.

In the following month, Ye Zhao sent Ding Li to Niulan Mountain to help Xu Rong defend against the enemy, and now Xu Rong is facing 20,000 troops from the Southern Barbarians in the area of Niulan Mountain, plus Meng Shu and others join forces with them, there are a lot of troops, although Xu Rong is a general, but after all, it is someone's territory, and the Ugo country also dispatched 3,000 vine armor soldiers!

Xu Rong once wanted to attack with fire and destroy this rattan armor, but was told by Ye Zhao that he was not allowed.

Although the weakness of the rattan armor soldier is obvious, but if it is used as a strange soldier, the use is very wide, the most important thing is that the rattan armor of this rattan armor is different from the ordinary rattan armor, according to Yang Feng, it is soaked for more than ten years before it has the characteristics of invulnerability, if it is burned, and then I want a batch of rattan armor, I am afraid it will take another few decades, and it is not certain whether I can live at that time.

Yang Gao was overjoyed after Yang Feng brought back the news, he was ready to be slaughtered by Ye Zhao, but Ye Zhao did not really fall into the well, but sent craftsmen to start looking for a suitable place to build a city near Yinye Cave, a steady stream of cement was transported, and the outline of a small city had begun to take shape in a month's time, and Ye Zhao also sent people to Yinye Cave to send a lot of food, clothing and other materials.

The king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him as a countryman!

Although the Southern Barbarians didn't know this sentence, but in action, they were almost the same, and they accepted so many benefits from Ye Zhao, originally he was ready to be slaughtered, but the result was far beyond expectations, and it also made Yang Gao's father and son determined to sacrifice their lives to repay them.

In the past month or so, the father and son have almost been running back and forth in the mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang, constantly persuading the cave owners from all over the country to vote for Ye Zhao, just one month, Yang Gao successfully persuaded the five small cave masters, and at the same time, Yelang, Tonghe, Xisui, and not only the four cities came to vote, Ye Zhao did not spend a single soldier, and the father and son did not stop because of this, and continued to persuade other small clans or county seats.

Huang Quan has become a lot more diligent during this period of time, and almost every day he will go to Guan Yu to ask for advice on the method of leading soldiers, at the beginning, Guan Yu was a little resistant to Huang Quan, after all, in Ye Zhao's words, although Huang Quan's previous attitude was humble, but he was arrogant in his bones, who is Guan Yu? That arrogance is definitely above Huang Quan, how can he stand this.

However, Huang Quan is also from a poor family, and he can come to this day, he has a strength of not admitting defeat in his bones, and the complacency has not yet been cultivated, coupled with the setbacks of this period of time, he will take the complacency and converge, and what he shows is the kind of energy to go out of everything to learn, even if Guan Yu is annoyed by Huang Quan again and again, he will teach Huang Quan some real things.

And after Huang Quan's on-demand broadcast by Guan Yu, the two thousand people under his command also began to look good, at least not to the extent of opposing each other as before.

And during this time, Huang Quan saw Ye Zhao's intentions clearly through everything, not that Ye Zhao was stupid and had a lot of money, but that Ye Zhao used this generous help to obtain the help of Yang Gao's father and son in Yinye Cave.

"Understood?" A month later, looking at Huang Quan, who was much more introverted, Ye Zhao smiled, if nothing else, there would be one more mainstay of Shuzhong in the future.

"The last will be ashamed." Huang Quan looked at Ye Zhao with a wry smile and said, "It's the last general who is shallow." ”

"It's not that you're shallow, it's your gaze that separates Yinye Cave from us from the beginning." Ye Zhao shook his head and said: "I built the silver city, the silver smelting cave is naturalized, in the end, the silver city is not the same as ours, as for the materials to help them, one is to collect people's hearts, and the other is to help my people, it is right to talk about benefits with outsiders, but since we want to accept all ethnic groups for naturalization, theirs is ours, given to them today, and tomorrow it will be taken back with them, is it wrong?" Ye Zhao looked at Huang Quan and smiled: "Sometimes, Gongheng might as well stand outside this chessboard and take a look, instead of just being a chess piece." ”

"Well, I will be taught." Huang Quan took a deep breath and bowed.

"Go and prepare, I heard that Meng Shu has invited people again, and the barbarians in the southern middle land are about to be squeezed dry by him." Ye Zhao stood up with a smile: "This rebellion in southern Xinjiang should also end." ”

"The lord is ready to go on the expedition?" Huang Quan was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed down and said, "The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" ”
