Chapter 10 The Drunkard

"I heard from Nanyang when you have accent?" Ye Zhao looked at the young general with a slightly red face. It was not the kind of blush caused by emotions, but was as natural as Guan Yu, with a strong body, a dignified appearance, and a bit arrogant, and asked with a smile.

"The last general is from Yiyang." The young general bowed and said, "When the lord moved his people to Hanzhong, the last general came with his father, and he studied martial arts with his father since he was a child. Three years ago, the prefecture recruited troops. The last general was recruited into the army and is now a general."

"I have been able to learn civil and military affairs since I was a child. It seems that my family's origins are from the roots. What is your name?" Ye Zhao smiled at the man.

"The last general Wei Yan." The young general said with a little excitement. He knew that his performance had successfully attracted Ye Zhao's attention.

"Okay, according to your plan, as you say, take your troops to the city to cheat me. My life..." Ye Zhao looked at the generals and smiled and said, "Character Yun led 800 soldiers to be ambushed. Wait for you to cheat the city gate, Yun led his army to attack the city. If you can attack Longxi, you will be the first to do it."

"The last general will receive the order!" Majestic and happy. The Shu army judged its official position based on its merits. The top merit of the attack on Longxi was enough to make him, the general of the army, jumped directly from the military marquis and promoted him to the military Sima.

Guan Yu was recommended by Ye Zhao to Gongsun Zan, which was the position of this. However, the Han Dynasty is no longer the same as before. The princes from all over the country recruited a large number of troops, so that positions in the army were more and more rampant. At that time, a lieutenant was already a real military position, but now, with more and more troops, the position of a lieutenant is somewhat biased towards the grassroots level.

You should know that the total number of soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty may not have exceeded 100,000, but now, there are 200,000 troops in Yizhou. There are more troops. According to the Han army, the lieutenant led 2,000 troops and horses to become the leader of the army. It has gradually become a middle- and low-level general, and the Sima of the Army is naturally even lower. However, for Wei Yan, who had just joined the army, this is not just an improvement in military positions, but more importantly, he has left an impression in front of Ye Zhao, and he will naturally have more opportunities to make contributions in the future.

"As for Tianshui!" Ye Zhao turned his head and looked at the generals and said, "Let's use Tianshui as a test stone to see if the results of our army's training over the years and the various weapons improved by the Shengong Camp are so powerful. In this battle, I plan to allocate 10,000 troops to improve the three-stone yellow crossbow, a thousand two-stone yellow crossbow, three thousand strong bows, and ten bombarded chariots (improved version of catapult car), fifty climbing ladders (improved version of the siege ladder), ten climbing rooftops (improved version of the well siege) and thousands of vine armored troops. Who is willing to lead the troops?"

The 30,000 vine armor was wrapped in a layer of leather by the Shengong Battalion, and the vine shield was wrapped in a layer of animal skin, which was very strong. However, it was a waste to put these invulnerable troops together and were distributed to each army as soldiers to attack the city.

"The last general asks for battle!" Almost at the same time, Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, Ji Ling, Guan Hai, Ding Li, and Fang Yue all stood up to ask for battle. This almost brought out all the weapons improved by the Divine Works Camp over the years. It was not a siege at all, but as Ye Zhao said, using Tianshui City to test the practicality of these improved weapons. The generals under Ye Zhao's command more or less knew the power of these things, and immediately asked for their orders, wanting to try the power of these weapons on the battlefield.

"Ding Li, Fang Yue, you two go and try these weapons in turn!" Ye Zhao looked at the generals and gave this skill to these two people.

Ding Li and Fang Yue have good abilities, but Ye Zhao has recruited too many powerful generals over the years, which makes the two seem a bit mediocre.

As the military general who first followed Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao still valued these two people very much, and when he was almost sure to win this battle, Ye Zhao didn't mind giving this opportunity to try it out.

"Lord, is our new flying boat..." Guan Hai's heart moved and looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.

"The flying boat will not move for the time being, for reconnaissance!" Ye Zhao shook his head. A Tianshui City is not qualified to give Ye Zhao all the trump cards. The ones used to practice this time are all conventional weapons.

"Here!" Guan Hai retreated in disappointment.

The plan has been decided, and Ye Zhao asked Guan Yu to take Wei Yan to select troops. Since this matter was the case, the first target of the attack was to Longxi instead of Tianshui. Tianshui fought with a righteous army, and Guan Yu and Wei Yan were considered strange soldiers on the way, and only if they were unexpected could they have an effect. If Tianshui started fighting first, Longxi would probably be alert.

...

Li Xian is Li Jie's nephew. In terms of age, he is still thirty. In terms of age, he is a peer with Ye Zhao. As one of the actual controllers of Guanzhong, Li Jie grew up in flattery and flattery from the people around him a long time ago, and he has developed a arrogant temperament. God, uncle, second uncle, and third brother.

Especially after Li Jue and Guo Si captured Chang'an, he expelled Lu Bu and killed Wang Yun. Even the emperor was afraid of Li Jue when he saw Li Jue, which made Li Xian's arrogant temperament even worse.

Li Jue is a witch, and there is a charming witch beside him. He divined him during the day, but he doesn't know what to do at night. Anyway, Li Jue has a wife, but those who are following him have always been witches. He is already in his forties and is almost fifty years old, but he still has no children. Therefore, Li Xian is basically treated like a child by Li Jue.

However, the teaching was not done, which made the thirty-year-old Li Xian still as arrogant as a young man. He also realized that if his nephew continued, he might not be able to inherit his foundation in the future. Therefore, Li Jue sent Li Xian to Longxi to be the prefect.

First, let Li Xian learn the way of governance and learn government affairs and military tactics as soon as possible, so that he can also share his worries in the future.

Moreover, the land of Longxi belongs to the rear of Li Jue, which is relatively stable and safe. Will you come again? Li Jue has had good friends with Shuzhong in recent years, and the land of Longxi is the main road from Hanzhong to Guanlong, which is a must-pass place for business. Longxi has also flourished in recent years because of its business with Shuzhong in recent years, so that he can also make some achievements for him and pave the way for his future position. After all, the stall is too big, even if he is his own nephew, he must have a reason to promote it and convince the public.

In addition, I also hope that Li Xian can learn from the Shuzhong. Now, Shuzhong Dazhi can feel the confidence that the merchants traveling to Shuzhong can be seen from the confidence that his nephew is here to receive merchants from Shuzhong and establish some friendship with Shuzhong. Maybe he can also inspire him.

But Li Jue probably never dreamed that his son and nephew would dare to openly detain the caravan in Shuzhong.

You know, in order to maintain this trade route, Ye Zhao sent a lot of food to Li Jue every year. It is precisely because of this route that Li Jue can support more troops and overpower the generals of Xiliang.

Moreover, although Ye Zhao has been dormant in Shu, sealing the gates and not interacting with the Central Plains over the years, Li Jue knew very well that the person in Shu was not easy to mess with. He was a person who even Dong Zhuo had to give in to three points back then. Even if Dong Zhuo gained power later, he had never gained any advantage from that person.

What Li Jue didn't dare to do was done by his nephew. Not only did he seize other people's goods, but he even took hostages even more. He wanted to suck bones and marrow and blackmail them again. This was not just a breaking rule. If he just plundered property, he would go back and pay for it, and it would be over. Now that he is so arrogant, he is very likely to anger the one in Shu.

The situation in Guanlong is not very good now. Since Li Jue and Guo Si turned against each other, the Xiliang generals who were originally one have gradually become divided. In order to stabilize their position, Li Jue is still thinking about how to get more help from Ye Zhao. How could he think of this nephew who was highly expected by him, not only did not help him, but instead helped him provoke a great enemy.

However, Li Jue has not received any news about this matter yet. Zhao Yun's men appeared in the area of ​​Xiegu, which made Li Jue very uneasy. The north of Xiegu is Mei County. If Mei County is taken away, it would be like cutting off his contact with Longyou, which is not a good thing.

It is also for this reason that after having a quarrel with Guo Si, Li Jue discussed with Guo Si for the first time, joined forces to resist Zhao Yun, and sent people to Shuzhong to ask Ye Zhao, hoping that Ye Zhao could retreat.

Li Jie sent someone to inspect on weekdays, and Li Xian would be more well-behaved, but now Li Jie led his army to fight, so he naturally could not take care of this side, which made Li Xian even more lawless. After seeing that Li Jie did not express any expression on his detention of merchants in Shu, he became more courageous.

Zhao Yun appeared in Xiegu, and Li Jue went to guard the situation for only half a month. In just half a month, Li Xian made the entire Longxi chaotic thing. He did everything he didn't dare to do on weekdays. He was almost a must-do every day by force.

In just half a month, Li Xian collected more than 40 pretty women for himself as his concubines. Even though he practiced martial arts since he was a child and was strong, he suffered a lot in half a month, but he had been addicted to the emperor.

"Marty Ting, those merchants in Shu, have brought ransoms and are now waiting outside the city to summon him." A Xiliang soldier came in and bowed to Li Xian, who was drunk.

"So slowly, I thought they were not coming!" Li Xian stood up staggeringly, curled his lips disdainfully, "It is said that businessmen are just traitors. Now it seems that they still have some human touch!"

"What the Marquis Ting said!" Xiliang soldiers bowed quickly and said, Li Xian was addicted to alcohol. Apart from women, this wine was his biggest hobby, and the wine was not very good. It was fine if he was not drunk. Once he got drunk, he liked to beat people around. Therefore, when he saw Li Xian getting drunk, these Xiliang soldiers followed him and did not dare to contradict him.

"Let's go, let's take a look. Today, I'm in a good mood and just see what these merchants have brought?" Li Xian took off a long spear from the weapon stand and laughed: "By the way, find an excuse, kill two people, and let these merchants be more obedient in the future."
