Jiangyi Camp

Yan Wan looked at her new residence in another camp with curiosity, but Yan Xing was still thinking about her layout in Jiangyi, and did not notice that Yan Wan's eyes around him had slowly turned to him.

"Brother, what happened in the city these two days?"

Yan Wan looked at Yan Xing. In the past two days, outside the house in the city where she was, the guards had changed several groups one after another. Although those guards of unknown origin did not enter the house, Yan Wan was not a fool. She naturally realized that she was being monitored, and Yan Xing took her back to the military camp in Jiangyi, which further confirmed her speculation.

"There is no big deal in minor changes, so you don't need to worry."

Yan Xing smiled and shook his hand to reassure Yan Wan.

Yan Wan was not willing to talk too much when she saw her brother, and she couldn't help feeling a little sad. She knew that her brother had made great plans. Although she intended to share her worries for her brother, it seems that she still couldn't get rid of her brother's burden.

Yan Xing was just so reluctant to let her get involved in these things out of her love for her younger sister, but he didn't expect that in this matter, Yan Wan was even more sad.

"Brother, when did you change your weapons?"

Yan Wan knew that her brother was unwilling to get involved in those things, so she could only restrain her mind and change the topic.

She saw the ring knife that Yan Xing had carried in the past, and somehow she had changed it to a sword, so she asked this question.

Yan Xing used to carry ring swords mainly because he used a sling sword to fight with a sling sword, which was better than the Han sword. But now Yan Xing is the leader of the army, and he will fight in battle. Before the war situation is critical, Yan Xing will not take action himself, but instead use ring swords less.

"Swordsman is a gentleman's military preparation", as he wanted to deal with officials and other officials in Hedong in intensively, Yan Xing also changed his weapons, clearly stated his identity, and did not want to be treated as a rude military man.

However, it was quite difficult to explain these considerations to Yan Wan. Yan Xing always hoped that his younger sister would live a simpler life to alleviate the scars left in her heart in the Yanjiawu Fort.

"It's been a while."

"Oh, then I think so, it's been a long time since I saw my brother."

Yan Wan's tone was faint, but it made Yan Xing feel pity. Yan Xing wanted to comfort him, but before he could speak, Yan Wan blinked, but changed the topic.

"That lady Lu is still safe, but I don't know where she is now?"

The lady Yan Wan mentioned was Xiao Lu. After she came to Hedong, she took Lu as her surname. When she was preventing and treating the epidemic, she also helped. Master Yan presided over many things such as the Linfen military farming. Xiao Lu also participated in it. He brought a group of female refugees and children to pick wild vegetables, mountain fruits, raise silkworms and silkworms, and weaving cloth. This is a great help from Master Yan.

Yan Xing raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the expression of his girl and asked:

"Miss Lu, now in Linfen, why did you suddenly ask about her?"

"This Madam Lu seems to be the old friend of his brother."

"When I was defeated and fled, I took advantage of her rescue."

"Oh, there is such a thing, and my younger sister has never heard from my elder brother."

Since the Oxtail Gathering was burned down, Yan Xing, Shi Yan, Xiaolu and others were isolated from their messages. These things were deeply pressed by him alone and had never mentioned them to others. Now that they were mentioned by Yan Wan, he sighed and said:

"It's all old things, why do you mention it?"

"Why are you talking about it? No wonder, my younger sister always absent-minded when she mentioned Yunwu's past."

Hearing Yan Wan's words of taking advantage of the topic, Yan Xing couldn't help but speak for a moment. He knew that the changes in the Yunwu Yan family had left trauma to his younger sister. After arriving in Hedong, due to busy things and changing his identity, there was also a ideological gap between the brothers and sisters, and it was difficult to return to the way they were when they were in Yunwu.

Yan Xing could only comfort Yan Wan for a few words, and then thought about it before he led to other topics.

"Wan'er, what do you think of Yang Feng?"

Yang Feng promised a fortune to rescue Yan Wan from the Yan family, and traveled thousands of miles to escort Yan Wan to find her brother. Yan Wan naturally remembered this kindness in his heart. However, facing Yan Xing's sudden mention, Yan Wan still frowned slightly and asked:

"What does this mean by brother?"

Yan Xing looked at Yan Wan. Yang Feng was a famous ranger in Hexi. He is currently living under his scepter as a guest. Yan Xing talked to this person several times and knew that this person was very talented. Yan Xing even told Yan Xing that if Yang Feng could be kept for use, it would be of great benefit to the present and the future.

However, Yang Feng is a man of wisdom and courage, and he has many unruly people under his command. It is not easy to make those who give up on their will to serve Yan Xing. For this reason, Yan Xing suggested that it would be better to betroth Yan Wan to Yang Feng, so that the best of both worlds can also make a good story.

Yan Xing now manages Hedong, and has many military officials from Hedong such as Xu Huang, Cao Yuan, Wei Xuan, etc., but in order to balance the future and internal forces, Yan Xing also plans to reuse talented Liang people like Yang Feng. Therefore, Yan Xing was very moved when he heard about Yan Xing's suggestion.

But he didn't know what Yan Wan was thinking, and Yan Xing was unwilling to force him. Therefore, today, when he accidentally talked about related matters, Yan Xing suddenly had a whim and asked Yan Wan for his opinion. After all, Yan Wan was over the age of the hairpin, and it was time to find a good match for her.

"Jun Yang is a man of wisdom and courage, and has great kindness to my family. I wonder if Wan'er has ever been willing to do it. If so—"

"Brother, a man married at thirty years old and a woman married at twenty years old. In ancient times, Wan'er doesn't want to get married yet."

When Yan Wan heard the reasons used by him to scatter, Yan Xing remained silent.

It is true that "a man married at thirty and a woman married at twenty" is an ancient ritual. However, since the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, visionary wise men have begun to notice that population is one of the most important criteria for measuring national strength, and all countries regard increasing population as a basic national policy. Goujian, who slept on firewood and tasted gall, Han Fei, who gathered the great achievements of the Legalists, and even in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty when he was recuperating, the measures to promote early marriage among the people with government orders were also taken seriously.

The same is true in this dynasty. Men are usually fifteen or sixteen years old, and men are usually fourteen years old. If Yan Xing had not been married and had fought in many places, he would have been afraid that he would have married and had children early.

But now, Yan Wan is unwilling to do so, and it is meaningless to talk about this matter again. Yan Xing temporarily put aside the topic and talked with Yan Wan for a while before getting up and leaving.

After leaving Yan Wan's new residence, Yan Xing quickly found Yan Xing excitedly.

"Brother, how did you talk to Wan'er?"

Yan Xing shook his head and said:

"Wan'er is not happy, don't mention this matter for the time being."

Hearing Yan Xing's confident tone, Yan Xing's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he had done a bad thing again this time. Not only did he not lose his merits, but it also seemed to have caused Yan Wan's dissatisfaction. However, Yan Xing did not allow him to mention it again, and he couldn't ask, so he could only hide this matter in his heart.

"Although the matter on Jiangyi will not be left behind, I have to be careful. I plan to transfer Gongming's battalion back to Jiangyi. He also served in Hedong County Government, but he can have a relationship with the current chief guard Jiangyi. In addition, in Jiangyi City, those families still have delusions and want to have a good fortune. You should also find an opportunity to beat these people to settle down."

"promise."

Yan Xing quickly agreed to what Yan Xing told him. Yan Xing saw that Yan Xing seemed to have something to say, so he immediately asked:

"Do you have other things to say?"

Yan Xing nodded quickly and said:

"Tomorrow, the Pei family sent someone to say that their convoy would arrive in Jiangyi tomorrow, but they didn't know if the captain wanted to stay and see them."

Since the Pei family agreed to help Yan Xing calm Bai Bo, they naturally would not go back on their promise. In the past few months, their convoy also sent a lot of food and medicinal materials that Yan Xing's army urgently needed. Everyone remembered this kindness, and the subsequent farming matters must be troubled to the Pei family.

Yan Xing felt a sudden heart when he thought of the deep meaning that might have been revealed by the Pei family and nodded immediately.

"Okay, I'll see them tomorrow."

···

"Captain, is that place where Jiangyi Xin’s military farm is located?"

On the hillside, Pei Wan dressed in a small servant, pointed to a newly opened military farm and asked curiously.

Yan Xing looked at the busy figures of those refugees who were forcibly resettled in the distance, nodded and said:

"Although this field was newly reclaimed, it has planted a lot of beans and beans and has restored a lot of ground abilities. This year, it can be planted with wheat."

Pei Wan nodded while listening, obviously surprised that Yan Xing, the captain who led the war, was familiar with the farming affairs. He looked at the ditches where the military farms were located, and saw that there were many mud-covered figures working in the ditches. From a distance, they looked like clay figures.

"Are there also resettled refugees?"

"No, those are the White Bo bandits who were captured by several prisoners of war."

Yan Xing looked at the Bai Bo prisoners who were responsible for the most difficult and difficult fields and the operation of opening the canal, and said lightly.

In addition to adopting a rotation method to restore ground abilities as soon as possible and speeding up the construction of water conservancy and irrigation projects, it is also an important task that Jiangyi and Linfen have been carrying out. Sumai produces more than corn, but the demand for water sources has also increased accordingly. After many wars in the northeast of the river, the channels have long been disrepaired or completely abandoned.

The implementation of large-scale military farming not only requires restoring the channels of the past, but also building more and more complete ditches. These huge and heavy projects eventually fell on the Bai Bo army, who were captured by Yan Xing's army.

So many water conservancy projects are a waste of time. Especially on the basis of the two places being in trouble, carrying out such heavy projects can be said to be extremely painful for Bai Bo's prisoners who are responsible for hard labor.

When almost every section of the channel is excavated, a group of Baibo prisoners will die of exhaustion on the construction site. Behind the restoration of people's livelihood and all industries in the two places, the blood and tears hidden in the dark are chilling. Thinking about it makes people shudder.

Although Pei Wan didn't know the general idea, she could see a clue. Perhaps she felt that the topic was too heavy. He scratched his cheek and asked:

"These are all white wave thieves. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the white wave thieves who had been evil in the past would one day be buried in this field and work in the ditches."

The Baibo army was raging Hedong and did a lot of evil things. Pei Wan came from a scholar's family and often heard things in his ears were all about how cruel the Baibo bandits were. It is not surprising that he was surprised.

Yan Xing looked at him and said:

"Before these people were thieves, they were originally farmers who farmed in the fields, hunters who hunted the forests, or fishermen and woodcutters. However, because of this world, they gradually became bandits who gathered in the forests."

"Of course, once they tasted the world, they would have to live more satisfactory than when they picked up farm tools in the past. It would be extremely difficult for them to put down their swords and return to the fields. If they had not destroyed their courage to resist in one fell swoop and let them know the fear of picking up swords, how could these people stay in the fields honestly at this moment?"

"This is thanks to the lieutenant's ability to fight. Since the lieutenant rushed to Hedong, he has defeated Bai Bo many times, which has caused the bandits to escape north and dare not have the intention of looking south. He can be said to be a talented general!"

"I can't be called a great general. In today's world, famous generals emerge in many places. Those who are old are like Taishi Dong, Huangfu Zhongcheng, and young and strong, such as Sun Wentai. As for Yan, they are just mediocre talents, so how can they be called a general?"

Pei Wan quickly turned her eyes after hearing Yan Xing's words. Just now, he keenly captured a point, that is, the young captain in front of him praised Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, and Sun Jian as famous generals in the world, but did not use the praise of the general's talent. It seemed that in his opinion, these people could not be called the real general's talent.

"Who can the captain think that can be called a general?"

Pei Wan looked at Yan Xing, and Yan Xing also secretly praised Pei Wan's agile thinking, who was still a little immature on her face.

"If you talk about the talents of a general, in fact, the land of Hedong is outstanding and the land is full of talents. For example, Pingyang, Hedong, Wei Qing, the general of the former Han Dynasty, can be said to be the talents of a general!"

"oh."

When Pei Wan, who is a native of Hedong, was naturally proud of her, but he smiled and said:

"When it comes to the generals of Pingyang, Hedong, I also said that the captain wants to recommend Huo Piqi, but he doesn't expect that the captain is actually the general of the guard."

Huo Qubing joined the army as the commander of the lieutenant Yao. At the age of seventeen, he won the first battle and killed thousands of prisoners. Later, he was even more unstoppable. He attacked the Huns in four battles and won all four battles. He was surrendered to Hexi, sealed the wolf's servants, drank horses and seas, and killed 160,000 prisoners and surrendered. Compared with military merits, he was the best.

In addition, he is good at riding and shooting, is flexible in using troops, pays attention to strategy, is not based on ancient methods, is brave and decisive, is good at long-distance raids, and dies young. In addition to pity, people often treat Huo Qubing with generous words.

In Pei Wan's opinion, Yan Xing was young and held the position of a lieutenant. Moreover, his method of using troops was similar to Huo Piqi. More importantly, as a young lieutenant, he was more likely to prefer Huo Qubing in terms of senses. Unexpectedly, Yan Xing was the first to recommend Wei Qing.

Yan Xing smiled. He could imagine that, like Pei Wan's age, Huo Qubing, who was a genius, would undoubtedly attract him more, but he could not compare the number of prisoners in a pure way.
