Chapter 80: Ye Zhao's godson
Jinyang, the cold winter has gone, the temperature in early spring has been quite pleasant, between the ridges, the crops have been green, and the fields are full of a thriving surprise, just like the people of the state.
Since Ye Zhao occupied Bingzhou in the fifth year of Jian'an, it has only been more than half a year now, but the changes in Bingzhou have made the people of Bingzhou welcome this new lord of Bingzhou from the bottom of their hearts.
It doesn't matter if it's a butcher or an evil ghost, but under the rule of this butcher and evil ghost, the life of the people of Bingzhou is now rich, and as for the name of the butcher...... Just kidding, if a Hu killer can also be called a butcher, then more than half of the men in this annexed state should be called a butcher.
In the past, the Xianbei people were almost every year, and in the early years, when Lu Bu was there, it was a little better, but since Lu Bu went south to the Central Plains, the Xianbei people began to run rampant, and the Han people who could survive had a few lives in their hands.
Now Ye Zhao stirred up the storm outside the Saiwai, not only let the Xianbei people kill each other, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, and Ma Chao will also lead troops out to kill from time to time, and the tribal alliance formed in the Wuquan area has also become a natural barrier, and if the Xianbei people want to kill in, they have to fight with those tribes there first.
Even if the Xianbei people in the tribal alliance occasionally come to other cities to buy goods, not to mention meeting dignitaries, even if they meet an ordinary farmer, they are very well-behaved and even can be said to be in awe, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty has gradually become stronger, but with the arrogant nature of the Hu people, it is rare to face a people with such a humble attitude, but in the hands of Ye Zhao, it has been done.
Not to mention that the Xianbei people came in, even if the Han people went to the tribal alliance to shop, everywhere they went, as long as they were Hu people, they were all respectful.
I heard that for a while, the government will come up with a new round of policies against the Hu people, and many people are looking forward to this new policy.
Of course, what really made the people support Ye Zhao was the policy of renting official land, which directly freed the people from the heavy taxes, although it was only the beginning of spring, but all the people were clean, and even most of the people chose to trust Ye Zhao and used manure.
This time is different from the past, in the promotion of manure, the government has made a promise, if the production is reduced, the government will compensate for the loss and compensate in full, it is precisely for this reason that the people are very cooperative at the beginning of the promotion, and Ye Zhao is now a big family, so he dares to make such a promise.
No matter what the southerners say, in the eyes of the people of Bingzhou, Ye Zhao is not a butcher, but a great hero.
And the hero in their minds is building a simple Colosseum outside Jinyang City at this moment.
In the spacious stands, there are not many people, but now the real power class of the entire state has arrived, Ye Zhao, Xi Zhicai, Xu Rong, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, Ma Chao, Wei Yan are all here, sitting in the most eye-catching position according to their status.
As for the center of the Colosseum, more than a dozen hungry and skinny people, but full of anger, looked at the young man standing opposite him with red eyes.
As for the young man on the other side of the Colosseum, if people see it, I am afraid that they will be so shocked that their jaws will fall, opposite the Xianbei people, there is a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, holding a sword, staring coldly at the Xianbei people opposite, as for the identity of the young man, it is even more amazing, it is Ye Zhao's eldest son Ye Zheng.
"Lord, the son is still young now, and it is probably inappropriate to face these Xianbei people who hate us very much at this moment!" Xi Zhicai looked at the not burly figure in the field with some concern, although it was not the first time to see Ye Zheng being driven into the Colosseum by Ye Zhao, but this was the first time to face more than a dozen people at the same time, even if these Xianbei people were bare-handed and had been evil for several days, but that was not something that Ye Zheng could deal with at this age.
Who would have imagined that Ye Zhao would throw his son into such a dangerous place?
"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening!" Ye Zhao leaned on the Hu bed and said indifferently: "If a person wants to become a talent, in addition to his own efforts, he must also have pressure, enough pressure, I have eliminated the danger to the minimum, if he goes to the battlefield in the future, how can there be such an opportunity for him?" ”
"But Zheng Gongzi is the lord's son-in-law, if it is ......" Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly, what Ye Zhao said did make sense, but this method was too extreme.
"No, but, just because he is a son-in-law, he will carry not only rights but also huge responsibilities on his shoulders in the future, so he not only has to work harder than others, but also has to experience more than others, I heard that when Meng Qi was twelve years old, he had already followed General Ma to the battlefield, right?"
Ma Chao was stunned, how could he be so dignified that he was pulled to himself, he nodded silently at the moment, but he complained a little in his heart, he did go to the battlefield at the age of twelve, but when he was twelve years old, he was not as good as Ye Zheng's knowledge, and he couldn't farm, can this be compared?
I thought that the children of this family in the Central Plains must have been dressed and fed since childhood, walking their dogs on the street when they had nothing to do, bullying men and women to do some things that the second generation should do, who knew that Ye Zhao, as a captain of the dynasty, was so strict with his son that he even risked his life to carry out this kind of training.
"Since he was born in this family, he was born with the rights and wealth that ordinary people can't have in his life, and naturally he has to bear what ordinary people can't bear, this is just the beginning, I want him to taste the cold and warm suffering of the world, if he can't even withstand this little wind and waves, then he still obediently goes to be a rich idler!" Ye Zhao said indifferently.
Although everyone felt that what Ye Zhao said was reasonable, but agreeing with it did not mean support, and they were afraid that they would not be able to treat their own flesh and blood so coldly like Ye Zhao.
"Let's get started!" Ye Zhao turned his head and gestured to Dian Wei.
"Whoa!" Dian Wei nodded, picked up a gong, and slammed it.
"Roar" a Xianbei man roared and waved his fist and pounced on the lone figure in the Colosseum like a hungry wolf.
They don't know who their opponents are, but they know that as long as they kill their opponents, they can get food! For hungry people, for a little food, they can destroy human nature, not to mention just killing a person, or a Han person, naturally there will be no psychological burden.
Ye Zheng's expression was cold, calmly avoiding the attack of a Xianbei person, the sword light flashed, and a trace of blood shot out and splashed on the ground.
The moment the flying foot kicked away a Xianbei person, three Xianbei people pounced at the same time, Ye Zheng did not advance but retreated, calmly let go of the other party's attack, did not attack first, but relied on physical strength, constantly dragging these people to run in the huge Colosseum, the other party was many, from all sides, Ye Zheng could always find a gap, flexibly interspersed through the gaps, from time to time while the other party was relaxed, and quickly pounced, swung his sword to kill one or two, a full twelve Xianbei people, Ye Zheng killed six in this way.
The rest of the Xianbei people finally felt bad, and began to gather together spontaneously, looking at Ye Zheng vigilantly.
Ye Zheng gasped violently, holding his sword on the ground, as if his physical strength had reached the limit, and the remaining six Xianbei people were overjoyed when they saw this, and pounced on Ye Zheng again.
Zhao Yun was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly bent his bow and arrows, and was about to save the scene, but was stopped by Ye Zhao reaching out his hand.
"Lord, the son is in danger!" Zhao Yun hurriedly said.
"This is a trick, he you grew up, and you can't tell the difference?" Ye Zhao glanced at Zhao Yun and said.
Almost at the same time, in the stunned eyes of several people, they saw that Ye Zheng, who seemed to be exhausted, suddenly rushed up like a cheetah, avoiding the other party's pounce, and his footsteps flashed quickly in front of the two Xianbei people, and the bright light lit up, and the two Xianbei people covered their necks and knelt on the ground in pain.
After the first blow was successful, Ye Zheng was unusual, no longer avoided, but took advantage of the fact that the four Xianbei people had not regathered, fiercely pounced, killed the two Xianbei people with two swords, turned around, and stabbed the chest of another Xianbei person with a backhand sword, stirred the sword, and then retreated and rushed to the other person.
saw that the only remaining Xianbei man suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically towards Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng's movements froze slightly, and he looked here with some hesitation.
A sucker!
Ye Zhao patted his forehead and let go of the hand that was pressing Zhao Yun's arm, Zhao Yun understood, and shot an arrow, but saw that the Xianbei man suddenly jumped up fiercely at the same time as Ye Zheng turned his head, and pounced on Ye Zheng from behind.
"Poof"
A little cold light flashed, and the sword shot by Zhao Yun pierced the forehead of the Xianbei people accurately, and in the stunned gaze of the Xianbei people, the arrow cluster flew up in the opposite direction with him.
Ye Zheng looked back at this Xianbei man in a daze, when the Xianbei people pounced just now, he had already noticed it, but at such a close distance, the other party was crazy to pounce, Ye Zheng didn't have time to make any moves, if it weren't for Zhao Yun's sword, he would probably have been pressed to the ground by the Xianbei people at this moment.
"Bring him up!" Ye Zhao said indifferently.
Soon, Ye Zheng, under the leadership of the two guards, came to Ye Zhao, bowed down and said, "Father, does the child know his mistake?" ”
"Maybe you think it's good that twelve people killed eleven people." Ye Zhao was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "But if you are on the battlefield, you are already dead just now, and killing twelve people and not one person is no difference to you." ”
"The child knows his mistake!" Ye Zheng lowered his head, this time, his voice was much more sincere.
"Kindness is spoken to one's own people, on the battlefield, as long as the enemy still has the ability to resist, he is still the enemy! Kindness to your enemies is not only your stupidity, but also cruelty to your own people! Ye Zhao said coldly.
Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Actually, Zheng Gongzi has done a good job, the previous battle has integrated the art of war into martial arts, if he is a general, Zheng Gongzi is now a rare general." ”
"Yes, that means you haven't done your best!" Ye Zhao looked at Ye Zheng and said indifferently: "Sun Tzu has copied the Art of War ten times, standing and copying!" ”
"Whoa!" Ye Zheng bowed.
Seeing this, the civil and military could only smile bitterly, Ye Zhao's education of Ye Zheng was very effective, but it was also too ruthless, now Ye Zheng, born in the family of the prince, should have been carefree to travel the mountains and rivers, but now he was only thrown into the battlefield by Ye Zhao.
It's just that Ye Zhao educates his son, and the concept is not wrong, and those of them who are courtiers can't say anything, so they can only look at Ye Zheng sympathetically and accompany the two to leave together.
