Early the next morning, Wei Yan arrived as scheduled, and after seeing Pang Shanmin, he shouted that the patrol soldiers had now assembled at the city gate, urging Pang Shanmin and his party to leave the city early.

When he and his classmates packed up and came to the city gate, Pang Shanmin had already noticed the difference of the soldiers under Wei Yan's command, seventy or eighty people stood in four columns, full of energy, exuding a brave spirit, obviously on the battlefield with real swords and guns.

"In the forest battle in the mountains, short knives must be used, these soldiers have a sword and a shield, and they can be able to defeat the Shanyue barbarians, but these armaments are not easy to get together now." Although Wei Yan said pitiful, his face was full of pride, Pang Shanmin nodded, and praised solemnly: "True warriors!" ”

Pang Tong and the others also secretly praised, but Ling'er shook her head, she had seen the girl who was trapped in the camp, obviously she hadn't put the army under Wei Yan's command in her eyes, Ling'er secretly made up her mind in her heart, sooner or later, let the trapped camp reappear, and put it in front of Wei Yan to see, now that the martial arts have lost to this red-faced Chinese character, if he also loses to him in the command of the army, wouldn't it be a fall in the majesty of his father?

"Please also ask the general to lead the way."

Pang Shanmin just told Wei Yan that the paper mill must be built along the mountain, and there should be sufficient water sources around, Wei Yan knew everything about the surroundings of Changsha, and immediately led the army, and the four columns of men and horses formed two teams, waving the banner of the word "Wei", and marched towards the direction of Zhushan.

A group of people do not have much interest in the mountains and rivers, although the scenery along the way is picturesque, but Pang Shanmin and classmates, are just thinking about choosing the location of the paper mill as early as possible, and now these people are desperate to make a name for themselves in Changsha, the paper mill is built one day earlier, and the ambition in the chest can be realized one day earlier.

The red sun was high, and it was noon.

All the way to thirty miles outside the city, everyone was sleepy and tired, Wei Yan found an underground village by the mountain, ordered the team to stop, the soldiers buried the pot to make rice, after a while, the smoke curled in the mountains and forests, Shi Tao came to Wei Yan's side, and said with a puzzled face: "General Wei, why did you pass by several bamboo mountains before, but you turned a blind eye?" ”

"You go and ask that big boy!" Wei Yan shook his head with a bitter face and said, "I know that the scholar's money is not easy to earn, it is just a paper shop, and there are many things to do!" ”

"General Wenchang, this is a bit inappropriate!" Pang Tong also came over, looked at Wei Yan's bitter face, and laughed: "Brother said before that the paper mill must be hidden, if not, can the general recruit a thousand troops under the nose of Han Taishou?" ”

"I don't want to argue with you."

Wei Yan rolled Pang Tong's eyes, saw Pang Shanmin looking thoughtfully at the verdant bamboo mountain not far away, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Just choose here?" ”

"It's fine." Pang Shanmin nodded, and said secretly in his heart, it only takes half a day to travel to and from Changsha here, build a paper workshop, and there is no need to worry about inconvenient transportation...... I asked Pang Tong and a few classmates for their opinions, and several of them thought that this place was good, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the forests were lush, even if there were thousands of people hidden, it was not difficult.

"What does General Wei think?" Although he was not familiar with Wei Yan enough, Pang Shanmin still asked for his opinion, and now that the two sides are cooperating, Pang Shanmin doesn't want Wei Yan to have any mustard in his heart.

"You can do it!" Wei Yan was cool, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Anyway, you pay for the army, I will come to train the troops, then I will take the credit of the barbarians, you earn your money, although you and I have different purposes, now we are taking what we need." ”

"You're a real reality." Meng Jian glanced at Wei Yan, but he had to admit that what Wei Yan said was reasonable, although several people intended to recruit Wei Yan to join the gang, they couldn't come up with decent conditions, Wei Yan's move was not excessive, and it was not unreasonable, and now it was just to draw a clear line with Pang Shanmin and others.

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the two of them naturally couldn't treat Wei Yan as they did with their classmates and friends, and the ideals of generals and scholars were different, Wei Yan's ambition was to fight on the battlefield, but now Pang Shanmin and others couldn't fulfill their wishes for him, Wei Yan was in the Changsha Army, although he was only a captain, but in terms of official positions, he was higher than Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong, who were white-bodied, and it was really a bit wishful thinking to recruit Wei Yan now.

hurriedly used some food, Pang Shanmin also figured out a lot, and his mood was no longer entangled in Wei Yan, the road was walked step by step, the rice was eaten in one bite, as for recruiting Wei Yan, after Zhuge Liang brought the eldest prince to Changsha, it was not too late to think of a way.

Now it's better to put your mind on the paper mill, Pang Shanmin looked at the mountains in the distance, and sighed, if Guandu is unchanged according to the trajectory of history, a year later, Cao Cao's general trend has been achieved, Liu Bei will also be forced by Cao Jun to flee Jingxiang, just the name of an emperor's uncle, Liu Daer does not need to worry about no one to match, if you can't control Jingnan at that time, internal and external troubles, how to plan the world?

Time is still running out......

Pang Shanmin was still thinking about it, Wei Yan's soldiers had rushed to Zhushan, and the road was opened in the mountains, seeing Pang Shanmin sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, Wei Yan didn't know why he said: "If you think it's not good here, I'll ask the brothers to change places!" Take people's money and do things for others, if you are not satisfied, just say it! ”

Pang Shanmin smiled bitterly, raised his head and said, "There is no dissatisfaction. ”

"Then why are you frowning?"

"I was thinking about the Shanyue barbarians, why they couldn't be destroyed repeatedly, I had been thinking before, why not change the suppression to fu?" As soon as Pang Shanmin's voice fell, Pang Tong and the others also came over, everyone wanted to hear about the barbarians, Wei Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "If you can caress it, you will have it a long time ago!" Shanyue barbarians do not understand education, words without faith, touched a few times, then reversed a few times, you are just a scholar's opinion, in my opinion, only raze the Shanyue nine tribes, can ensure the stability of Jingnan. ”

"It's too murderous." Cui Jun frowned and said: "As far as I know, the reason why the barbarians have repeatedly rebelled is because of the heavy taxes, if I am a barbarian and am abused like this, I will also find another way!" ”

"It's just that they don't do anything!" As soon as Wei Yan's words fell, Pang Tong sneered: "Shanyue barbarians, without land, how can they engage in farming?" I also think that it is time-consuming and laborious to exterminate Shanyue now, so it is better to change it to a soothing! ”

"You're going to negotiate with those savages? If we settle the side affairs and only rely on one lip service, what do you want us and other generals to do? Wei Yan said disdainfully: "The idea is naïve, but not practical, the matter of Shanyue is not something you can interfere with, I can tell you, those people are so hungry that they even eat, you better forget your thoughts as soon as possible!" ”

"What if you give those barbarians, the same treatment as the Han people?" Pang Shanmin shook his head, looked at Wei Yan calmly, and said: "I know that the people of Jingnan hate the Shanyue barbarians, but whether it is the Han people or the mountain barbarians, they are all for life, if they are not forced by life, who will always think about fighting in their heads?" ”
