Yang An smiled and saluted several generals, and his kind appearance made several generals even happier. Yang An called Yang Si, who was specially brought to give salutes to several generals.

Yang An said: "Yang Si will be responsible for transporting weapons, armor and other materials to the valley in the future. ”

General Su said suspiciously: "But our equipment and weapons are enough, and they are still good." ”

Yang An said: "I asked people to make a new batch of weapons, the power is greater than today's weapons, the sword is tougher and sharper, the bead crossbow can shoot ten arrows at once, and the distance of the trebuchet will be greater, and the stones thrown will be greater......"

General Su and the others heard this, and their nostrils were rough, and they hurriedly asked, "Little General, are these weapons really so powerful?" ”

Yang An: "Have you ever heard me speak?" ”

General Su and the others shook their heads violently. Although the little general always makes surprising statements, he is always telling the truth. Just like corn and potatoes, the little general said that potatoes can reach a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, but they didn't believe it. But now they have seen with their own eyes that potatoes can yield thousands of catties per mu, and they have personally confirmed Yang An's words.

Yang An said: "When the new weapon is made, Yang Si will send it to you, and you will personally test the power of the new weapon." ”

All the generals should be fine.

Yang An continued: "Don't waste the weapons and equipment you replaced, continue to recruit people." We can eat enough in the valley now, and we can recruit more people to expand the size of the army. ”

If you can have more subordinates, the generals will naturally not object, but-

"Little general, I'm afraid it's not easy to recruit people." General Chen said.

Yang An said: "It's going to be good to recruit people after a while." ”

The crowd did not understand.

Yang An said: "The emperor's conquest of Goguryeo this time will only fail, and the chaos in the big stall after that will be the worst will be the people." Even if you take in the poor people, the young men will let them join the army, the women, the elderly, and the children will let them take care of the farming, and the women will take care of the laundry and sewing, so that the soldiers can devote more time to training. In a few years, you'll be going to fight this valley. ”

The generals were all shocked. What Yang An said was too scary, could he have predicted?

Yang An seemed to understand what they were thinking, and said with a slight smile: "I won't predict, but I just analyze the current situation and the emperor's character." The emperor was so happy and reckless, and Goguryeo, which was prepared for this invasion, was bound to fail. This time, too much grain and people were levied, and the officials under them were greedy and cruel, taking the opportunity to plunder the people, fish and flesh the people, causing the people to be impoverished and have no food to eat, which will inevitably cause the people to revolt. ”

The generals nodded their heads in a receiving.

Yang An said: "In the war, population is a resource, don't be afraid of a lot of people, not enough food and materials, I will let Yang Si send supplies over regularly." If you are short of supplies, you can also contact Yang Si and ask him to send them to you as soon as possible. ”

General Su said worriedly: "Do you need money like this?" Is the little general's money enough? ”

Zhenguo Mansion, there is not so much money, right?

Yang An smiled: "Don't worry, I have my own business in my hands, and the money I earn is enough for you to spend." ”

General Chen said admiringly: "The little general has outstanding ability, but I'm afraid that even the old prince can't match you." ”

Yang An smiled: "Isn't it right to be better than blue?" ”

Yang An stayed in the valley for a few days and then left. He wanted to take advantage of this time to recruit into his hands the capable people recorded in history. Since the last time he inadvertently recruited Fang Xuanling, Yang An had this idea.

He used the light brain he brought with him to find the information of the heroes and ministers in the late Sui Dynasty, and the information was recorded very clearly, and the origins of those people, when they were born, and what they did in a period of time were recorded in great detail. Yang An looked for a quasi. However, some accepted his solicitation, while others did not trust his abilities. After all, Yang An is still too young now, and it is normal for those people to distrust him.

However, Yang An still has gains, at least the other Du Ruhui in the Fang Mou Du Duan has been recruited by him. This shows that Du Ruhui has the same vision as Fang Xuanling. In addition, Xiao Yu, Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin, Yu Shinan, and Xu Shixian, among the twenty-four heroes of the original Lingyan Pavilion, were all recruited by Yang An.

There are also some people who Yang An took the initiative to give up. For example, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chai Shao. The eldest grandson Wuji's sister has been engaged to Li Er, and Chai Shao has also married Li Er's sister, they are all in-laws of the Li family, and they are on the side of the Li family, so it is impossible to serve Yang An, and Yang An will naturally not waste time with them.

As for Wei Zheng, another very famous minister, Yang An did not find him, and he didn't know where the others had gone.

Yang An also wanted to find this famous counselor again, but time was not enough, the Sui army's first conquest of Goguryeo failed, and Yang Peng asked Yang Chen to send Yang Chen back. To say that the two fathers and sons were lucky, although they encountered an ambush by Goguryeo, they were only the smallest part of the ambush, and they fought with their soldiers and soldiers, and finally escaped back with a third of the men and horses, and the losses were not particularly serious. Unlike Yuwenshu, he led 305,000 people to conquer Goguryeo, and when he finally returned to Liaodong City, only 2,700 people remained, and tens of thousands of materials, reserves, weapons, and ordnance were all lost, and the losses were extremely heavy.

The emperor was mad, and the generals who led the troops were all unfavorable, and Yang Peng didn't dare to mention the matter of letting his son be the son of the world, and just wanted to send his seriously injured son back to the capital for treatment. For the sake of reusing Yang Peng, the emperor agreed to his request and sent Yang Chen back to the capital.

Yuan Shi looked at his son who was wrapped in a white cloth and was about to go crazy, so he ran forward with a "whoop", and the one who hugged his son started crying.

"Chen'er, why are you like this? You don't have anything to do, you don't leave A-Niang, A-Niang only has one son! A-Niang is waiting for you to inherit the Guogong Mansion and give A-Niang a pension ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Yang An, thinking that he would be furious.

Yang An yawned, pretended not to hear, and muttered, "I'm so sleepy, go back to the house and sleep." ”

After speaking, he left the Yuan family and Yang Chen's mother and son, and left in a hurry.

The Yuan family is now fully focused on his own son, and he has no heart to deal with Yang An, otherwise knowing his performance, he will definitely hate to scratch Yang An to death.

Fortunately, Yang Chen's injuries were not deteriorated after simple treatment by the military doctor, and after the doctor saw the injury, he prescribed medicine and told Yuan's that as long as he took medicine and changed the medicine, and recuperated well, Yang Chen would be able to recover. Yuan Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
