Chapter 9 Soy Sauce
Speaking of this, Yan San looked at Ye Qiudie and said, "Little lady Ye, hey, you make it clear to me, since this hundred defeated generals are all famously defeated, a person who has been defeated in a hundred battles, why do you still ask him to lead the troops?"
Ye Qiudie said leisurely: "Have you ever seen that you can bring your own soldiers back from every war?"
"Uh-" Yan San said, "You mean the Runaway King, he won't be the Runaway King, right?"
Ye Qiudie glanced at Yan San and said: "Meaningless war, breaking one's own army, that is a failed general, every soldier, from recruitment to training to become a qualified soldier, requires a lot of cost, especially the relatively high-level soldiers, belonging to the soldiers who have trained warriors and qu shi, even if they are only at the level of warriors and qu ding, one by one, they are all piled up with money." Do you like to throw a lot of money out on the battlefield?"
"Hey, hey, I'm just afraid that Emperor Guangwu doesn't think so, anyway, if it doesn't cost his money, he won't be heartbroken, I heard that the old man has always been ambitious, so he wants to test it." "Yan San is an extremely smart person, and he suddenly understands why a hundred defeated generals will be defeated.
Ye Qiudie said lightly: "This is also the reason why the emperor recommended him to go to the frontier to lead the army, but unfortunately, Emperor Guangwu wants a general like a fierce tiger, not a general like the city wall, he wants to attack, not defend." A general who can bring his own soldiers back from the battlefield again and again must be a great general. ”
Yan San couldn't help but feel reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded, and then, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, anyway, you can just get it." ”
"Don't you have a little responsibility?" Ye Qiudie glared angrily, for such an irresponsible person, for such an unscrupulous master, she was angry.
"Hey, hey, there's someone as powerful as you anyway, I'm by your side, that's in the way. Besides, haven't you heard? Master, that's just a matter of talking, and as for how things should be done, that's the matter of the servants below, hey, hey, don't forget, now you are my handmaiden, and it is your duty to share the worries of your master. Yan San said shamelessly.
Ye Qiudie was so angry that she stared at her, sometimes, she wondered if she was with the wrong person, this guy really didn't have any sense of responsibility at all, and she was really angry with her.
In the end, Ye Qiudie took Yan San to an inconspicuous alley in Yanjing, the alley was very quiet, and the sound of the bell could be heard from afar.
After a while, Ye Qiudie took Yan San to a rather small iron shop, and saw a man beating the red iron stone on the anvil with a hammer, very focused, as if Yan San and the two of them came, but they didn't find it.
This man is neither burly nor fierce, on the contrary, he looks a little sven, not as brute as an ordinary blacksmith, but his body is very strong, and he does not have any difficulty dancing a sledgehammer.
Ye Qiudie was not polite at all, and sat down in the shop, at this time, there were no guests in the iron shop, Yan San couldn't sit still, and walked around in this rather small iron shop, most of the iron shops are to build farm tools, such as plows, rakes, shovels, etc., however, some weapons have also been created, of course, this weapon is completely different from the weapons built by the soldiers, the weapons built here are completely weapons made of ordinary metal, to be precise, these weapons are more suitable for ordinary soldiers on the soldiers.
After a long while, this blacksmith, that is, He Chu, the defeated general, put down the work in his hand, and when he saw Ye Qiudie, he showed a look of surprise, and his eyes shone together, but he quickly dispersed, looking like a craftsman.
"Two guest officers, what kind of iron tools do you want to buy?" He Chu asked.
Yan San smiled dryly, and said with a smile: "Shopping, casual shopping." Hey, the weapons built by the master are really good. Yan San picked up a knife, flicked it with his fingers, and said with a crisp sound, "The curvature of the knife is just right, it is strong and powerful, and it will not be difficult." It's not light or heavy, for an ordinary soldier, it will not be sore to cut hundreds of knives. Although the knife is simple, but, strong and sharp, hammer by hammer, the blade has a murderous aura, heh, heh, this is really a weapon built to kill. The master is really good at taking materials, one cooked gold, three bronze, six carbon iron, and the knife made in this way is resistant to cutting and is not easy to collapse......"
Yan San talked eloquently, holding a weapon and said with a smile.
"The guests also know where to refine. "Is it an expert, as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he was so familiar with Yan San, which made He Chu very surprised and said.
Yan San said with a dry smile: "Hey, hey, so-so, there was a period of time when I followed the masters of the Shangbing family to mix some words, and I belonged to the people who ate mixed rice." ”
"Ha, ha, the guest is really modest, listening to the guest, you know that he is a veteran. He Chu also laughed, and when he saw that he met his peers, he couldn't help but talk more.
"Dead Yan San-" Ye Qiudie was angry with him and asked him to lobby He Chu, but he came to talk about weapons with others.
"Uh-" Yan San looked at Ye Qiudie and said with a dry smile: "Heh, heh, I almost forgot, it wasn't me who came to find you, uh, but our beautiful and moving Miss Ye Qiudie, this young lady of ours, I have something to tell you." ”
Ye Qiudie was so angry that she glared, she didn't expect this kid to be so irresponsible, and he actually threw this burden to herself, which really angered her.
"General He, how about we sit down and talk?" Despite this, Ye Qiudie still said to He Chu.
He Chu didn't shirk, sat down, made a pot of tea, gave it to Yan San and the two of them, and said flatly: "Miss Ye, just call me He Blacksmith." ”
"Is the general willing to be a blacksmith for the rest of his life?" Ye Qiudie said in a retort, looking at He Chu.
He Chu looked at Ye Qiudie and said lightly: "Miss Ye was born in the astrology gate, I know what Miss Ye is here for. However, to disappoint Miss Ye, now, I am just an ordinary blacksmith. ”
This He Chu is really not an ordinary person, and he actually knew Ye Qiudie's origin at once.
"I am very relieved to hear General He's words, and I'm really afraid that I won't hear General He's words. Since General He can tell my origin in one mouth, it shows that General He has been paying attention to the situation in the Linglan Continent, and General He's ambition is still not dead, and he is not willing to strike iron here forever. Ye Qiudie's words were very sharp, and she looked at He Chu and said.
He Chu was stunned, came back to his senses, and said: "The people of the astrology gate are really as sharp as the legend, but unfortunately, Miss Ye, this makes you run for nothing, I'm afraid that I still have to strike iron here." ”
Ye Qiudie looked at Yan San, who was watching the play on the side, and said angrily: "Are you the master, or am I the master?"
"Heh, heh, heh. Yan San smiled dryly, uh, looked at He Chu and said with a smile: "Actually, heh, I am completely different from Ye Xiaoniang, he must be very concerned about you going out of the mountain or not, and he cares very much." However, I don't care at all, you can't get out of the mountain, it doesn't matter to me. I'm more curious, how can you defeat the battle again and again, how did you bring your soldiers back, hey, hey, you don't just sell all your equipment, and then all the soldiers are light, riding horses, and running away. Hey, when it comes to selling equipment, I have experience, it's like selling war horses, it's better not to fight on the black market, those people are very black, in fact, selling equipment to your enemies can sell it for the highest price......"
Not only He Chu, but also Ye Qiudie were speechless, He Chu was even a little dumbfounded, this guy is too outrageous.
"Dead Yan San, believe it or not, I threw you out of the street!" Ye Qiudie was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, her eyes could kill people, and she stared at Yan San deadly.
"What's the matter, it's not bad to discuss business with General He, maybe I really have the opportunity to steal all the army's equipment secretly in the future, so let's ask General He how to sell the army's equipment first, so as to make more money." Yan San looked very aggrieved.
"Say it again. Ye Qiudie gritted her teeth and stared at Yan San.
He Chu also smiled bitterly, it was the first time he had seen such an outrageous person, in the eyes of others, he was outrageous enough, but this guy was a hundred times more outrageous than him.
Yan San had no choice but to shrug his shoulders under Ye Qiudie's murderous gaze, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't talk about making money, let's get down to business." ”
Yan San looked at He Chu, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Eh, that General He, you have seen it, it is all the roar of the Hedong lion, in fact, it is not my business to lobby you, it is Ye Xiaoniang who has to come, so I can't help it, I have to come with the duck on the shelf, the Hedong lion roars, no one can stand it." ”
Ye Qiudie was mad by Yan San, her chest rose and fell, and her teeth were itchy with hatred, if God gave her a chance, she would have to kill Yan San.
"Then how do you persuade me?" He Chu couldn't help but smile and said.
Yan San rubbed his nose and said, "To be honest, lobbying people, it's not my specialty, my specialty is making money, how to turn the money in other people's pockets into money in my pocket, that's what I care about the most." Since I'm here, I can't talk about it if I don't lobby you. ”
"I will not be like those great heroes, overlords and the like, promise you that you will be a great general, or that you will be given 100,000 soldiers and horses. Yan San said: "If General He is interested, I will give you a chance to be undefeated, and it is better to be undefeated than to be defeated." ”
"An undefeated chance?" He Chu stared at Yan San.
Yan San shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's the meaning of the mix, go to the battlefield to fight soy sauce, you can do whatever you want when you come back, anyway, you can do whatever you like, as long as you draw a circle with your finger on the map, you say, I will guard this land, well, you can keep it, whether you play soy sauce or pickle girls, it's all your business, if you don't have soy sauce to fight, let your enemies play soy sauce, how does that sentence come about, hit your own soy sauce and let others buy vinegar, or buy your own vinegar and let others play soy sauce." What should I do, anyway, this thing of war, a hundred generals, a hundred opinions, if you want me to say, if I have a general under my command, I don't care what he thinks, as long as he occupies that pit and can pull the well. In other words, he holds a soy sauce bottle, and he can beat his soy sauce well, not vinegar. ”
"Uh-" He Chu was speechless, but despite that, he groaned.
Ye Qiudie couldn't cry or laugh, this guy, what kind of theory is this, it's simply weird.
"Your soy sauce is kind of interesting. He Chu couldn't help touching his chin and said with interest.
"Hey, hey, this is my own invention of the soy sauce theory. Yan San was extremely proud, puffed up his theory of playing soy sauce, and said: "Playing soy sauce, it's actually very simple, it's the same as making money, and it's the same as fighting, don't you say." For example, if you make soy sauce, you just bring the soy sauce back, and as for whether you buy it with money or steal it, it doesn't matter. It's like fighting a war, okay, you fight, I don't care how you fight, as long as you draw a circle with your hands and put your soldiers and horses on it, you won't get it. This circle is like a soy sauce bottle, you don't give me vinegar, as for the rest, that's your business. ”
"I don't know where the son is?" Undoubtedly, He Chu was interested in Yan San, looked at Yan San and said.
"The Yan family of Huodu County. Yan San said: "That little place, or you don't know, is in the northernmost part of the empire. ”
"Huodu County, the fief of the descendants of the founding heroes. He Chu said: "It's a pity that the territory is a little smaller, and the materials and manpower are far from enough. ”
"Hey, hey, you can't say that. Yan San said leisurely: "It's like making money, at the lowest cost, to make the most profits, that's interesting." If the entire Linglan Continent is in the map of a country and gives you the position of commander of the three armies, it will not make any sense. became a big official, it's nothing more than how to make more money, collude with more friends, pave a good road for his son, or go to the Qinglou to play a few more girls or something, these are all ready-made things to enjoy, there is nothing to challenge the surname, and it is boring to play. Hey, hey, it's like making money, I like nothing more than anything, making more money from other people, the more the better. ”
He Chu's eyes froze, staring at Yan San, and said slowly: "Then how big is Yan Gongzi's heart?"
"You're wrong, my heart can't be described by size, when my heart is big, I can put it down even the sky, and when I am small, I can't even put down a needle. I'm not interested in anything like that, it's all about labor and money, and it's all about using countless dry bones to build an ethereal name. Well, that's the case, on my one-third of an acre of land, everyone has a good time, if anyone wants to dig me up to your house, I will definitely turn you upside down, and make you *** bad!"
"Hey, hey, so when my heart is big, I can put the sky in, and when my heart is small, I can't put a needle in it. Yan San stared at He Chu and said.
He Chu looked at Yan San for a long time, then burst into laughter and said, "Interesting, really interesting." Okay, I want the command of an army, like you said, give me a soy sauce bottle, as for how I make soy sauce, that's my business, I'll make your soy sauce for you. ”
"Yes. Yan San smiled and said, "However, I don't have an army in my hands now, if you want, you can build it." To play you a game through the wall, you start with a brick, as for whether you go through a high-rise building, or through a pit, that's your ability. ”
"Huodu County, I will pick Ding Zhuang, I will build the team, but, I will take care of the army, how about it?" He Chu stared at Yan San and said.
Yan San rubbed his nose, looked at Ye Qiudie, and said, "Hey, hey, it's okay, but I have soy sauce, you have to make it for me." ”
"No problem, I'm sure I won't give you vinegar!" He Chu stared at Yan San, his voice sonorous and powerful.
Yan San shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, this Ye Da Mei is my housekeeper, in the future, if you have anything to do, just look for her, hey, hey, hey, don't look for me, anyway, you won't be vinegared, and it's not interesting to look for me." ”
"I've heard the name of the astrology gate for a long time, and I hope Miss Ye won't teach me how to make soy sauce. He Chu looked at Ye Qiudie and said.
Ye Qiudie looked at Yan San, and then said: "Since he said that you can't make soy sauce, as for how to make soy sauce, it must be your business, since he asked you to make soy sauce, it means that you are very good at soy sauce, I don't know how to make soy sauce, so let someone who can make soy sauce do such a thing." ”
"Good, good, good, the people of the astrology gate really know a little, and it is true. He Chu said with a smile.
For a while, laughter rang out in this rather small shop, and Yan San, He Chu and Ye Qiudie chatted.
I'm afraid that no one in later generations would have thought that this would be a funny and weird soy sauce theory, which has achieved a commander of the three armies, and in the history of the Linglan Continent, the only one who has commanded the alliance of various countries, including the Fungus Leaf Sea, Nanban, Innocent Forest, etc.
In the end, He Chu said: "Young Master Yan, I'll pack up the guys, and you can set off at any time." ”
"Okay, no problem, I will live in the Taikoo Branch of Hanshan Academy, and I will leave Yanjing early tomorrow morning, you pack up and come to me." Yan San said.
He Chu readily agreed, and in the end, Yan San and Ye Qiudie left the iron shop first.
On the way back, Ye Qiudie couldn't help but glance at Yan San and said, "What kind of weird argument are you, what soy sauce, what vinegar, you haven't been serious for a day." However, when she thought of Yan San's words, she couldn't cry or laugh, but she was afraid that no one could imagine that Yan San was such a weird soy sauce theory, and he Chu could talk to such an excellent person.
