Section 338 Comparison
Yang Baiqing clearly remembered what his grandfather said: For the poor, you can have mercy, you can give him a winter coat, and give him a steamed bun that will not let him starve to death for the time being. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, but this kind of giving should never be too much. If it goes beyond the psychological boundaries of the poor, then a good thing like charity becomes a bad thing. The poor will not be grateful for your kindness, but will resent why you give him more when you have too much wealth in your hands. When the time comes, maybe the poor will be vicious, kill the rich who should be their benefactors, and rob everything.
Therefore, for Li Kongming, a poor ghost in Haizhou, Yang Bai naturally had to laugh and ridicule from the root. Let him honestly recognize his identity and position.
It's a big deal, Lao Tzu drove the fleet away, leaving you poor Haizhou ghosts with red eyes and drooling but getting nothing.
Speaking of which, it is already very hurtful. Li Kongming's face suddenly became embarrassed, and then he glared at Yang Bai viciously, but he didn't dare to fight back. Anger is anger, and he is still very clear about the stakes.
Yang Bai is not the kind of temper that is unforgiving. He smiled and put away his fan, got up from his seat and said, "Well, you can go with me to the cabin first, and then I'll tell you what I want?"
This request made Li Kongming feel very confused when he heard it, but on someone else's ship, Haizhou couldn't take care of it for the time being, so he could only obey what Yang Bai said, and he could only obey honestly.
As soon as he stepped off the deck, Li Kongming's eyes were already shining, and his face was full of excited expressions. The cabin below was full of supplies, including food, cloth, and even iron tools, and all kinds of important supplies for the people's livelihood and military affairs, and the ship was almost complete, and there was not the slightest kind missing.
After walking around like this, Li Kongming's face was already full of joy. Yang Bai led him to the side of the ship again, pointed to several other big ships around him, and said very proudly: "You should be very familiar with the ships at sea, look at the waterline of these ships, you should understand that these ships contain more materials than the ship we are on now." Hehe! With so many supplies, the Qi country will not transport them. Well, I'm not talking nonsense, am I?"
Although the facts were in front of him, Li Kongming still clenched his hands and tried to look around on the side of the ship, trying to see clearly, and when he stood up straight, his face was already full of a mixture of fanaticism and panic.
That's right, Yang Bai did not lie. The waterlines of the five big ships were all crushed to death. Since they said they were coming from Anju, there must be no need to lie. It can't be that five big ships are loaded with stones, right? The merchant is very profitable, but he doesn't know what this guy surnamed Yang wants?
"I want to do business with you with these supplies. Your status and position are too low, and you don't have the right to call the shots. In this case, let your general come and talk to me!" Yang Bai smiled and said indifferently.
As soon as he said this, Li Kongming's face immediately changed, his face and voice became cold, and he said: "General Lu's is the first person in Haizhou, and it is related to the survival of the entire Haizhou. You are just a mere businessman, how can you let General Lu deign to come to your ship? In case, you Chu people have any evil intentions, wouldn't it ......?"
"That's what I said, it's up to you whether you do it or not. ”
Yang Bai shrugged his shoulders, crossed his waist with his left hand, and spat on the thick phlegm in the seawater, with the arrogance unique to businessmen, and said sarcastically: "Don't think I don't have news from your Haizhou side." Actually, you don't have a choice at all, the last winter was unusually cold, and too many people in Haizhou froze to death and starved to death. Even now, how many full meals can you eat now? Have you ever had all the weapons? Nima, Lao Tzu came from thousands of miles away, originally thinking that you Haizhou people should beat gongs and drums to welcome Lao Tzu, but I met such an unreasonable fool as you. If Lao Tzu has any evil intentions, does he need to come over with the goods? Even if he had, he didn't need to tell you so clearly and directly. Get out, now hurry up and get out of the way. Go back to shore and inform your general. Let's just say that Lao Tzu meant, if you want these goods, only Lu Song himself is allowed to bring two guards and a sampan over. ”
This statement is simply unreasonable, Li Kongming was not very good-tempered, and he was suddenly angered by Yang Bai's vulgar words, and roared violently: "You, you dare?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Yang Bai laughed "hahahaha", shook off the fan again, walked back to the chair and sat down, and sneered with disdain: "Lao Tzu will put the words here today." As long as Lu Song is not a fool, he naturally understands how to choose. Qi doesn't care about Haizhou at all, and it is Lao Tzu's kindness that will bring the goods to this kind of ghost place where birds don't. Why should I be so angry with a bastard like you? If I see a second ship on the sea, Lao Tzu will immediately order the bow of the ship to turn around and leave immediately. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
Yang Bai spoke in a loud voice, with a lot of momentum, and his arrogant and domineering face was unobstructed. Speaking of which, this is also the credit of Meng Qi's long-term training. Meng Qi said: As a qualified businessman, it is necessary to perform differently according to the cards held by the opponent. You can grovel, you can be arrogant, or you can be cold and indifferent. In short, in different situations, attitudes and words can determine many things. Others will also make the most beneficial moves for you based on your performance.
This is Li Kongming's current situation. Yang Bai's arrogance and ruthlessness made Li Kongming's face change for a while, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to say anything anymore. After all, if he provoked Yang Bai to leave, he couldn't afford this kind of sin himself. After thinking about it, Li Kongming could only hold back his anger and slowly hold back a sentence: "You, you Chu people, what do you want to do when you come to Haizhou?"
"I've already said it. We're from Anzhou and want to do business with you. Yang Bai replied with a smile, and the smile on his face returned to his previous sweetness.
Li Kongming is a person who understands, and when he said this, he didn't ask again, but just sat on the sampan again.
I didn't have to wait too long this time. Half an hour later, a large crowd came out of the densest part of the houses on the shore. Quite a few of them were carrying sampans, which made everyone in the fleet tense. But in the end, only three of them got on the sampan, and the others stood on the shore with the sampan on their feet. Yang Bai also sneered in his heart, silently watching the big boat with the three-person sampan facing his side slowly rowing.
After reaching the front, he climbed up the deck along the rope ladder lowered on the side of the ship, and was followed by an armored guard. He turned over the side of the ship and did not go inside, but stood there with his knife drawn, and his face was full of wariness. This man seems to be very skilled, with many scars on his face and hands, which shows that he has experienced a lot of battles. However, the armor on his body was tattered, not so much armor, but a protective gear that was connected to each other with broken leather and iron sheets, barely having a little protective effect. However, this person explained his vigilance: "Don't get me wrong, it's General Lu's personal entourage." The general's safety is at stake. ”
This explanation can only be said to be better than nothing. In fact, both Lu Song and Li Kongming, who went down before, knew very well that it was Yang Bai who had the final say on the big boat. The five seagoing vessels are all large ships with a very large carrying capacity. As far as the eye can see, there are at least a hundred sailors on the five ships. Even if Lu Song was extremely brave and martial arts, he would never be the opponent of these people.
What's more, Yang Tianhong will never let his subordinates take the initiative to take risks. No matter which country or place the Meng family firm went to, there would always be one or two Guiyuan Sect monks in the team who had the ability to build a foundation and cultivate. In fact, hiring monks is as simple as that, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a truth between the world and the world. As long as they can afford the price, monks are no different from ordinary people.
The second person to get on the boat was Li Kongming, who went down before, he and the previous person stood side by side, forming a very narrow human wall, if Yang Bai wanted to make a move on Lu Song, the two of them would block the front.
"Mr. Yang, since you are here to do business in Haizhou, it is best to abide by the rules of businessmen. I don't know any etiquette, but I'm going to keep the ugly things in front of me: if there's anything wrong here, a boat will come from the shore at once. I think you have also seen Mr. Yang, although these are all big boats, there is no wind at the moment, and you may not be able to outrun our rowing boats!"
Li Kongming's face was gloomy, first threatening, and seeing that the guards around Yang Bai had already retreated, he turned his head and greeted the back.
Lu Song is a general in the end, and his skills are not bad, and the support of his subordinates is just a superficial appearance. He is also a saber armor-piercing, if he really wants to make a move, presumably Lu Song's kung fu will not be weak.
Lu Song is tall and thin, but the flesh on his face is a little loose, it is conceivable that Lu Song should have been a fat man. It's just that the rich body is slimmed down like this. He wore a blue cloth towel tied around his head, his exposed sideburns were gray, and he looked haggard and tired.
Since Lu Song got on the boat, Yang Bai has been staring at Lu Song. With the secret intelligence agency "Cell", which transcends the times, Yang Tianhong's side is very well-informed in all kinds of information. For Haizhou, which is lonely overseas on the side of Qi State, and Lu Song, the general of the town guard who is alone supporting an extremely important link in the northern defense line of Qi State, he has actually heard of it for a long time. Speaking of which, Lu Song can be regarded as a legend. Haizhou is barren and the people are poor, but with this kind of place where there are neither soldiers nor food and grass, and there is sea water all around, Lu Songgang has harassed and fought in the rear of Rongdi for decades. Qi had also sent officials in Haizhou before, but none of them could be like Lu Song, who was in charge of the military and civilians at the same time, and had to stick a knife in the rear of Rong Di. According to the location of the Rongdi tribe, the north of Qi is the sphere of influence of the Liwang of Yougu. Over the years, Rong Di has gone south to Qi much less than Chu because of the unstable factor of Haizhou Lu Song in the rear.
Yang Bai remembered his grandfather's evaluation of Lu Song: This person is a hero, but he has no long-term vision. Yang Bai never understood the meaning of his grandfather's words, but he was also full of curiosity about Lu Song. At this time, when he saw the real person, he was naturally attracted to it, and after seeing that Lu Song's expression had not changed, he stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute, and still said in a businessman's unique way: "In Xia Yangbai, I have seen Lord Lu." ”
Lu Song got on the boat with curiosity and anticipation, and he could see at a glance that Lu Song, who was guarded by the crowd in the center, was chubby and round. Lu Song's first reaction was why this person was so young, and then he gave birth to a bit of martial artists' disdain for fat meat eaters. However, the apparent courtesy has not been lost, and Lu Song immediately clasped his fists and saluted back: "I've seen Mr. Yang." ”
If you change places and times, the way two people meet like this is really funny and unbelievable in the eyes of others.
Although Yang Bai is a general of the Yang Mansion, he is also a Bai Ding who does not have the rank and title of the Chu Imperial Court. On the other hand, Lu Song's side is already the identity of the general of the town guard of Qi State. In normal times, if it was on the side of Chu or Qi on land, if there was no strong background support like Xuanhuo Army and Yang Tianhong, Yang Bai would definitely kowtow when he saw a character like Lu Song. And according to common sense, as an ordinary person, there is no possibility of seeing Lu Song himself.
But at this time, Lu Song was able to meet Yang Baiping. Moreover, it was he who took the initiative to get on the boat, not Yang Bai who went ashore to visit.
Everything is upside down.
The superior is humble to the people below, and this demeanor can be said to be informal. But in the same way, it can also be said that he, Lu Song, is in an embarrassing situation at this time. But think about it, Qi Guo's attitude towards Haizhou is basically indifferent, and there is no material aid. According to the information collected by "Cell", Lu Song's situation in Haizhou is very difficult. Many of the people on the island froze to death and starved to death in the past winter. The reason why Dadan Yu Tuyuhun concentrated on dealing with the countries of the Western Regions was that he wanted to get more technology from the direction of the Western Regions. Among them, shipbuilding technology is included.
Tuyuhun is not a fool, it is impossible to watch Haizhou such a stinger pierced in his back, but he does not care. However, the difficulties are also in front of us, Rong Di is absolutely first-class, but it is completely blank in terms of shipping and shipbuilding. If you want to attack Qi with all your strength without worries, you must first deal with the threat from Lu Song's side in Haizhou. Speaking of which, Tuyuhun's thoughts and intentions are very shrewd. The "cell" heard that in the national city of the Western Regions that he had captured last month, Rong Di had captured four craftsmen. It is said that at the adjacent location of the grassland and the sea, Tuyuhun had ordered the establishment of a shipyard. Tuyuhun expressed unprecedented attention to this matter, and appointed his most valued son as the head of the shipyard.
Although Lu Song may not know this news, the threat from Rong Di is real. What's more, Haizhou is running out of grain, and there are still many months before the autumn harvest. originally thought that in this green and yellow season, there were still many people in Haizhou who wanted to play to death, but they didn't expect a huge fleet from Chu Guo'an Prefecture to appear on the sea. Therefore, despite Yang Bai's humble status, Lu Song must not pull any kind of help that may be given to Haizhou, and he must firmly grasp it.
Next to him, a veteran of the Xuanhuo Army was a little incomprehensible to this kind of thing. He lowered his voice, leaned into Yang Bai's ear, and said seriously: "Old Yang, do you think this Lu Song is fake?"
There's nothing wrong with that. After all, such a pleasant-looking superior, and also a town guard general in charge of a state, a veteran has never seen it before.
Yang Bai grinned, revealing a mouthful of well-maintained white teeth, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I used to be beautiful, but now I am scorched...... Hey, hey, hey, he Not to mention far away, if you look at our Chu State court, you don't know how many there are. There are countless people who are suppressed by their opponents every year, degraded for various reasons, and those who make mistakes and are kicked away by His Majesty. ”
According to the agreed time when entering the grassland, the scattered Lizhou cavalry completed the assembly at the designated position. All the leading generals are the generals of the Yang Mansion, and they are very aware of their grandfather's temper, and they dare not disobey the key issue of time. After counting, in addition to the part that escorted the booty and cattle, sheep and horses back to Lizhou, Yang Tianhong's cavalry that could be used to attack Youzhou still had more than 50,000 people.
In addition, there are 50,000 horses that Yang Han just brought from the direction of Lizhou. Assembled, the total number of soldiers that Yang Tianhong can use has exceeded 100,000.
The 100,000 cavalry roared like thunder, and in the midst of the sound of rolling hooves, the long thorny dragon spear that was held tightly in the hands of the cavalry and held horizontally in front of the cavalry formation seemed to have caused a tremor in the air at this moment, and it actually made a strange whistling sound. The cavalry in a straight line in that whistling sound was like a flood that had discharged the sluice, the momentum was like a rainbow, surging and rolling, and the front of the troops was directed at the right flank of Rong Di's main formation, which was storming Youzhou City.
"What the hell is going on? Why did the Chu people appear from behind us? And the scouts sent out? Are they all dead?"
In the Rongdi array, the aged Aries King rode on his horse, brandished his whip, and roared at the leaders of the Aries tribe gathered around: "Seeing that Youzhou is about to break the city, at this time, the cavalry of the Chu people appeared from behind us. Say, what the hell is going on?"
The big and small leaders of the Aries tribe, you look at me, I look at you, their eyes are full of surprise and doubt, obviously no one knows the answer.
For the news blockade on the battlefield, Yang Tianhong has always done a good job.
The Aries tribe sent up to 160,000 cavalry in this battle. Fortunately, the Aries King wants to get the two abundant fruits of Lizhou and Youzhou at the same time. With "Cell", a product that integrates another world's advanced concepts and some scientific and technological collections, Yang Tianhong's intelligence sources are much richer, and he has mastered all the movements of Grassland Rongdi.
Donghui Jing's 60,000 Rong Di soldiers and horses became the first prey that Yang Tianhong bit down. Of course, when the plan was first formulated, Yang Tianhong never imagined that things would become so successful. In any case, the Lizhou army is a new recruit, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not strong, and it can even be said to be weak. However, no matter how weak a recruit is, after a big war, he will always become more or less strong. The fact that the 100,000 Lizhou new army was able to rely on the Lizhou city wall to block the 60,000 elite Rong Di was already the best result in Yang Tianhong's plan. The main cavalry entered the grassland and harassed along the way, and Yang Tianhong would always deliberately let go of one or two live mouths every time he captured the herdsmen's camp. Of course, the direction in which these remnants of herders fled was controlled. If anyone dares to go in the direction of Lizhou, then the result is that there are cavalry following all the way. This is a cavalry squad of ten people. Surrounded and intercepted from several directions, creating an illusion of direction for the fugitives, believing that there was no way to live in the direction of Youzhou, where the army of the Aries King was located. The rest can only go to Dadan Yuwang's tent to report the news, or go to Lizhou and tell the eldest prince Donghuijing about the disaster on the grassland.
Blocking news, especially between the grassland and Youzhou. In Yang Tianhong's plan, it is the most important link. Only in this way can Rong Di, who attacked Lizhou, get the news, and then the battle is in chaos, so that the recruits in Lizhou can get the best opportunity to hone and win.
Of course, reinforcements will also be sent from the king's tent. However, the grassland is not as good as the land of Chu. In such an incomparably vast space, even leading millions of people and horses will be like the difference between the sea and a small rock. What's more, the war beasts domesticated by Yang Tianhong with special methods are extremely strong, and they far surpass ordinary war horses in terms of speed and physical fitness. Even if he was discovered by the reinforcements sent by Shan Yu Wang's tent, Yang Tianhong was sure enough to get out.
What's more, among the troops that attacked the grassland, there were still a considerable number of Guiyuan Sect monks. Although the rules of heaven and earth are restricted, monks cannot kill mortals, but it is still possible to use mana to create a few strong winds or sandstorms within a specified range. Speaking of which, there are so many things that Yang Tianhong needs the monks of the Guiyuan Sect to do, and the actions that the monks can participate in the war can only be like this. As long as he didn't take the initiative to kill people and contaminate the cause and effect of heaven and earth, then the monks of the Guiyuan Sect were also very willing to follow Yang Tianhong, a fellow disciple with a prominent status, and win their own interests in the war.
After running on the road with the Meng family firm for so long, Yang Bai still has the ability to identify this. Moreover, Yang Bai has been paying attention to the changes in Lu Song and Li Kongming's expressions. If this Lu Song in front of him was a fake, then Li Kongming, who was waiting next to him, would not be so sincerely excited and nervous. (To be continued.) )
