Chapter 362: Returning to the Yan Family (3) (Asking for Collections, Recommendations, and Subscriptions)
Su Jun actually didn't know that in the Yan family, Yan Batian was the sky, not to mention those grandchildren, it was his great-grandfather, in front of Yan Batian, they were all silent, don't look at them as great heroes, but as long as the old man's eyes swept away, everyone had to be a little shorter.
Yan Batian sat up half-propped up, Su Jun quickly stood up, walked over, and wanted to help this old man who looked a little weak, Yan Batian laughed and pushed his hand away, "I'm not that old, am I?" Could it be that this requires someone to help? Su Jun smiled awkwardly, wanting to pat the horse's ass but slapped the horse's hooves.
"I've heard about several battles you fought in Taidang County, and they were fought very well, especially the offensive and defensive battles between the military fortress at the front of Ando and Gudeaqi, which was perfect." Yan Batian stroked his gray beard, looked past Su Jun, and threw himself everywhere, as if he saw the extremely tragic attack and defense under Ando City.
"Mrs. and Grandpa praised it falsely, this is just the result of the people working together to resist the enemy, and the soldiers fought to the death, and the grandson did not go into battle in person, at most he just sat on the city tower. Yan Batian smiled, looked at Su Jun, and said, "You are quite restrained, with the demeanor of a general!" ”
Su Jun said modestly: "I know Zhong Qing's ability best, don't praise me." ”
Yan Batian sighed and said: "You are just twenty years old, and you have laid a piece of the sky independently, it is really amazing, it can be seen that the captive tiger is not as good as the beast that can survive on its own after all!" ”
Su Jun was speechless at the old man's analogy.
"You were wronged when you were a child, and I only found out not long ago, speaking of which, your grandfather's mouth is quite strict, and he actually hid me strictly, hey, it's really old, and I don't even know family affairs clearly."
The old man said self-deprecatingly. His eyes swept to Yan Xiong to the side, and Yan Xiong stood up in shame, bowing his head and being speechless.
"You sit down, fortunately, Zhong Qing has also gone home, there is no need to mention the past, what to do in the future can save yourself." Yan Batian said lightly.
"Yes!" Yan Xiong couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and in front of his grandson, he was reprimanded by the old man, which made him extremely ashamed.
Yan Batian turned his gaze back and said: "Zhong Qing, the defensive formation you designed in Anhu is very good, I have brought soldiers for a lifetime, these seemingly simple things have such great power, but I never thought of it, after I go back, I will sort him out and send it to me, by the way, and the guard fort, you have also redesigned it, and draw his structural drawing." ”
"Yes!" Su Jun said respectfully: "Grandpa Mada, this fortress is a kind of latest fort fortress, his structure is not yet known to outsiders, after the grandson draws it, he still needs to pay attention to the secrecy of Grandpa." ”
Yan Batian laughed: "Good boy, do you still need you to remind grandpa?" You say why I asked you for the blueprints of this fort, well, you call him the fortress, right? ”
Su Jun thought for a moment, "Grandpa, my Yan family's battlefield in Anningdong is a place of four battles, although it is rich but there is no danger to defend, once something happens, it will be enemies on all sides, and grandpa Tai wants to build this kind of fortress in large quantities on the main battlefield?" ”
Yan Batian nodded: "Draw inferences, you really deserve to be a general, yes, I think your fortress should be able to expand, right?" ”
Su Jun nodded yes, "Yes, it can be expanded, but this kind of guard that Zhong Qing cultivated in Ando only needs a few hundred people to defend, and it is impossible for two or three thousand enemies to take it, if this kind of fortress is doubled, the number of guards will increase to a thousand, but it can resist the siege of tens of thousands of enemies." Of course, this is only a theoretical value, because due to the size of the fortress, it is impossible to store so many supplies and ordnance. ”
Yan Batian smiled slightly: "What if I hollow out the underground of this fortress and make it into a warehouse?" ”
Yes! Su Jun was taken aback, "Grandpa, then the cost of this fortress is too big?" The gains outweigh the losses! ”
Yan Batian sighed, "If you don't lack money, it's nothing, the iron wall that can make the enemy fearsome is always in our favor!" ”
A slight chill appeared on Su Jun's body, is the old man so pessimistic about the situation in the Central Plains? To turn the fortress into a flesh mill by expanding it infinitely at any cost?
"Grandpa, has the situation reached this point now?" Su Jun asked, it is naturally impossible for him, who has lived at the border for a long time, to live in the center for a long time like Yan Batian, and to watch the general trend of the world.
"I'm afraid it's even more serious." Yan Batian paused heavily, appreciating Su Jun's quick reaction. "What do you think?"
"My grandson originally thought that it would be fine in three or five years." Su Jun said hesitantly.
"Maybe three or five years, maybe soon." Yan Batian closed his eyes, "The rebellion of the Patriotic Nation is already very serious!" ”
"The rebellion broke out twice before and after, but the two times were completely different, the first time was quickly put down, but the second time, it was on fire, and it could involve peace at any time."
Su Jun walked to the map that Yan Batian hung in the study and pointed to the map.
"The first rebellion was purely that the common people could not eat, where the thieves passed, surrounded the villagers, looted property, and the people were not able to make a living, although at the peak of the time it claimed to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but most of them were ordinary people, it seemed to be huge, but in fact it was vulnerable, and the more the number of people, the greater the pressure on his logistics, he could only loot more, how could this move win the hearts of the people, it was only a matter of time before he was defeated."
Yan Batian nodded slightly, and Yan Xiong on the side also listened attentively to Su Jun's analysis.
"But this second time, it's clearly different." Su Jun nodded heavily and said, "The second rebellion started here, but the peasant army's approach this time is completely different from the last time, the remnants of the defeated army when they escaped actually changed their faces, as if they had the appearance of a regular army, and this time after they took down a land, they no longer looted, but arranged officials to rule it on the spot, which is what makes Sun Er suspicious." ”
"What's so suspicious about that?" Yan Xiong was puzzled, "The first time I suffered a loss, how could I repeat the mistakes of the past the second time, and I would naturally change course." ”
Su Jun shook his head, "Talent? Where did they get so many talents? As far as I know, after two rebellions by the peasant army, the local officials and scholars were either killed or fled north, how did the rebels find so many literate people in a short period of time, and persuade these people to govern the place for them? ”
Taking a breath, Su Jun said with emotion: "When I first arrived in Bei'an County, I was very troubled by this matter, and I couldn't find so many literate people, and many officials under my jurisdiction were illiterate at that time. ”
Yan Xiong's face changed, "You mean they have someone behind them?" ”
Yan Batian glared at him, "You didn't see until now that you have been an official for so many years, and you are not as knowledgeable as the young Zhong Qing." ”。
Su Jun said to Yan Xiong: "Grandpa, you are also a veteran of the battlefield, how do you feel about confronting the rebel generals?" ”
Yan Xiong didn't think about it, "The rebels are all extremely military-literate, and the troops they lead are also quite combat-effective, of course, this also has something to do with the fact that these Anning troops I led are too weak. ”
