Chapter 36: The End of the Year

After all, everyone came to Youzhou to follow the supreme barbarian king, to the weak southerners, and to grab money, food, and women.

However, now that the barbarian king is dead, his army has been slaughtered like a clown.

But no one can stay any longer!

So for a while, there were still more than 7,000 people left in the army of the barbarian king, and Li Wen led a team of more than 100 people, and they were embarrassed to keep chasing and killing.

It wasn't until Li Wen was sure that the enemy could no longer gain momentum that he ordered his men to stop and rest for a while.

Standing on the high ground, Li Wen and the others looked at the enemy army fleeing all over the mountains.

Zhao Hai's eyes were a little incredulous, and he said, "King, we, have we won?" ”

Hearing this question, Li Wen thought for a while and said, "It can be said that he won, or it can be said that he didn't win!! ”

Suddenly, Zhao Hai's eyes showed a look of confusion.

The king's speech is always so profound!

For a moment, Zhao Hai couldn't help but think in his heart.

And seeing Zhao Hai's appearance, Li Wen knew that he didn't understand it at all, if he was an ordinary person, Li Wen would naturally not explain too much, let him realize it himself.

If he realized it, Li Wen was far-sighted, and if he didn't realize it, he was stupid and stupid like a pig, anyway, Li Wen didn't lose anything.

However, for Zhao Hai, an outstanding talent who won the first place in training, Li Wen felt that he still needed to explain.

So when Zhao Hai was confused, Li Wen opened his mouth to explain: "We said we won, but we repelled the attack of the barbarians this year and won the victory in this war!"

Say they didn't win, they will come back next year to loot again, and the same method is difficult to work twice!

So with the lesson of this time!

I'm afraid that next year's offensive will be more ferocious, and the enemy we face will be stronger.

So next year, we can't have any luck intentions, we have to fight them with real guns!

Only when they are truly completely subdued, can the people of the northern part of Youzhou be completely safe......"

With Li Wen's explanation, Zhao Hai's confused eyes suddenly became sober.

People who have goals are always motivated.

So seeing Zhao Hai's recovered appearance, Li Wen finally said: "This war is the end of this war, and it is also the beginning of the next war!" ”

……

Soon, the news that Li Wen killed the Barbarian King, and even completely defeated the Barbarian King's base camp spread along the channels of the Youwang Chamber of Commerce to the entire states and counties in Youzhou.

Suddenly, the hearts of the people in the entire Youzhou were also lifted!

Countless people began to sing the praises of the mythical war created by Li Wen with 200 and 8,000 enemy troops, counting the trust prepared by Li Wen himself, plus the spread of many good deeds.

So much so that within a few days before Li Wen ended his war with the barbarian king, his reputation spread throughout Youzhou.

In fact, protecting the safety of the people of Youzhou was originally the original duty of the officials of Youzhou and even the king of Youzhou.

But I am afraid of comparison, compared to Li Wen's personal danger to face the once powerful barbarian army.

Those Youzhou officials who were huddled at home and shivering suddenly became clown-like existences.

And Li Wen did not stop this kind of propaganda, and even used this opportunity to let the Youwang Chamber of Commerce focus on infiltrating those storytellers and other characters who exist in various teahouses, theater troupes, and even various streets and alleys.

Use the rich gold and silver in his hands to become the gold master behind these people with public opinion ability, and through this incident, he firmly holds the public opinion of the entire Youzhou in his own hands.

In this way, when this weapon of public opinion is completely successful, Li Wen can completely take advantage of the surging public opinion in the world to cut down all those big families who are always against him!

If you don't while occupying the pit, it's better to drown yourself in the pit, maybe you can still fertilize the field.

And when Li Wen's side won the victory and began to build public opinion in order to bring the people of the entire Youzhou to obedience.

Under the pressure of various public opinions, the generals from all over the country who have never been able to defend the city cannot sit still.

If the turtle continues to be like this, I am afraid that I will be scolded by my own parents and fellow villagers.

In the past, everyone was messing around, and no one could say whom, but now with Li Wen setting an example for the people of Youzhou, he suddenly knew who was black and who was white after the comparison.

So in order to suppress these surging public opinions, and to prove that their existence is not a dry meal.

These local generals, who have been shrunken turtles all year round, have also begun to gradually prepare to go out of the city to face the battle under the support of the people, intending to take advantage of this victory to be disgraced!

It's just that the truth is completely opposite to what these local generals imagined, in their minds, since the Youwang can break the enemy's 8,000 people with an army of two hundred.

The thousands of people in his hands, no matter how bad they are, will not end up in a defeat.

However, the truth of the matter is completely different from what these generals imagined, even if it is a small enemy force of about 1,000 people, and their own army of nearly 10,000 people surrounds and suppresses it, it is also beaten by the enemy.

A puff of smoke shrank back into the city!

This time, these local generals even sat down in a turtle posture of shrinking their heads, regardless of how the enemy troops outside shouted and cursed, as well as the fierce scolding of their own people.

It's also a step that can't live or die in your own nest!

And there is more than one such thing, except that a small part of the army can make a draw with those barbarian armies.

Most of the local generals in Youzhou were cleaned up by the barbarian army who were retreating and preparing to return to their hometowns.

Not only did they not win any victory, but on the contrary, they also threw away their armor and gave a lot of things to the barbarian army.

And when Li Wen learned all this, he couldn't wait to point at the noses of these bastards and scold these bastards to death.

The victory advantage he finally achieved was almost completely buried by these wine bags and rice bags.

If it weren't for the internal struggle for power and profit of those barbarian armies, the major barbarian generals and barbarian princes would want to return to the rear of the barbarians as soon as possible to compete for the supreme barbarian king.

I'm afraid that Youzhou will fall into a bitter battle again.

Of course, there is no good news in this, and the only good news is that although the local armies have lost their armor many times.

But those barbarian army didn't get any benefits, whether it was armor or war horses or anything, they didn't get anything.

Because these things are not available to the local army itself!

A group of 6,000 regular soldiers and horses, but most of them are paid empty salaries, and the soldiers with heads are in their early 1,000s.

The others are just a few people who bring in momentum, and they have almost no combat ability.

And even the soldiers and horses in their early 1,000s, most of them wore only light armor and long knives.

Only a few local generals' personal guards were able to possess the best armor and blades that the regular army could wear.

If such soldiers and horses don't lose, there are ghosts!

In short, the specific situation of Youzhou is a rotten, rotten to the point of being too rotten, so rotten that it gives Li Wendu a headache.

But fortunately, no matter how much Li Wen has a headache, this damn year has finally passed.

Standing on the top of the city of Youzhou, Li Wen's side was Ying'er, the first woman who came here by relying on him.

The two are like a pair of beautiful people, staying together quietly under the envious eyes of many maids behind them.

The sky was full of snowflakes falling from the sky, Ying'er looked at Li Wen with a pensive look, and couldn't help asking, "What is the king thinking?" I wonder if Ying'er can know? ”

With the inquiry from Ying'er, Li Wen's eyes also came back to his senses and said: "I'm thinking that winter is coming, and this year's disturbances are finally over!"

I just don't know what kind of trouble awaits me when the spring flowers bloom next year!

I have a headache when I think about this! ”

Speaking of this, Ying'er stretched out a finger and pressed Li Wen's mouth, and then said softly: "Next year's affairs will be left to next year to worry, this year I finally have a period of rest, why not enjoy this time!"

Hearing Ying'er's words, Li Wen was stunned at first, and then said with laughter: "Ying'er is right!

Next year's affairs will be handed over to next year, and as for this year, we will live a good life!

Today I will ignore no one and listen to you alone! ”

As he spoke, in Ying'er's coquettish laughter, he carried him all the way back to his palace.

A strong physique brings an absolute sense of security, and at a distance of several thousand meters, Li Wen is passing by.

The speed was so fast that even the maids and guards behind them who didn't take anything could catch up.

Immediately, with the sound of joy in the palace, more snowflakes gradually fell from the sky.

The whole world seems to have gone into a state of silence!

It's just that in this silent land, there is a high-spirited fire and molten iron that are still in operation.

In order to cope with the barbarian attack that may come next year, the ironmaking workshop under Li Wen's command did not stop without stopping, and was inspired by sufficient money and honor.

A pair of armor and blades were created, as were many iron farming tools.

Military strength needs to be armed with good equipment, and only in this way can the strength of the army become strong.

However, the cultivation of farmland also requires good equipment, so a large number of iron farming tools began to be built one after another.

And as the power of wealth supplied by these two big money consumers, it is from the immortal wine developed by Li Wen.

The heat brought by the high degree of wine has warmed up this winter, and at the same time, the rolling wealth brought by the sale of alcohol has also made Li Wen's power gradually expand.

Everything is getting better with time!
