The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 72

Soon after Cao Cao left, Zhang Yang and Zhang Yan came to Luoyang one after another.

Zhang Yang is the prefect of Shangdang, and this time he came to the capital to report on his duties, but in fact he was privately reporting the situation of Shangdang County to Cheng Yuanzhi.

Zhang Yan's purpose was the same as Zhang Yang's. While reporting the situation, he also visited his sister.

As soon as they met, Zhang Xiaoyu threw herself into Zhang Yan's arms, tears flying and crying loudly.

It has been three years since she left Yunmeng Mountain, during which time she misses her family all the time, especially when life is not going well, she misses her brother especially.

Zhang Yan pushed her sister away in embarrassment, coughed twice and said: "Sister, from now on, you can no longer throw yourself into Brother Wei's arms, you are already grown up..."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoyu raised her head with tears in her eyes, and said happily, "Brother, am I really growing up?"

Zhang Yan glanced at her younger sister's chest that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and nodded without conscience.

What he said was that the younger sister had grown up in height and age, and she was no longer the little girl she used to be.

This big, it has nothing to do with the figure.

Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't help laughing at the funny conversation between the two brothers and sisters.It suddenly occurred to Zhang Xiaoyu that this year was already over, and it was almost time to close the house.

Although she is a bit flat, she has a tall waist and slender legs, she is shy and cute, and she smiles without showing her teeth. She can be regarded as a rare beauty.

Beauty, there is always something that is not perfect.

Just like a car, some cars look brand new on the surface, but in fact, the mileage is scary, the cylinder is stuck, the wire is slipping, the engine sound is too loud, and so on.

Even the fairy sister who is recognized all over the world in later generations still shows her long gums when she smiles.

Cheng Yuanzhi is not picky, Zhang Xiaoyu's identity is doomed, she can only be a concubine.

Concubine, all you need is beauty.

After the two brothers and sisters finished talking, Zhang Yan followed Cheng Yuanzhi to the central hall, sat down in a triangle with Zhang Yang, and said after deliberation:

"Thanks to the new grain seeds sent by the commander-in-chief, the Montenegrin Army has developed rapidly in the past few years. Now the warehouse is full of grain and the number of troops has exceeded one million. Subo has also trained an elite infantry force of 5 people. Every soldier is a warrior worth ten. In addition, the Montenegrin Army also has a security team of 3 people."

"With such a force, as long as the commander gives an order..."

"We immediately entered the capital, overthrew the imperial court, and killed the emperor. The empress belongs to you, and the rest of the concubines belong to me... and brothers!"

In a word, the two people were stunned. Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhang Yang looked at each other, their heads were a little buzzing.

In the latter's cognition, the big man is still powerful and cannot be offended. Also, is it really okay to just say it openly about the rebellion and division of the harem?
This one is... so barbaric.

Cheng Yuanzhi also thought so, so he gave Zhang Yang a stir-fried chestnut as an answer.

At the same time, he glared at him angrily.

Good guy, with [-] infantry, will you be gone?You're afraid that you haven't been beaten enough.

Zhang Yan sneered and stopped talking.

Zhang Yang smiled happily, and reported: "Marshal, the past two years have not been peaceful, and the number of people who have fled to the Shangdang has exceeded 30. The [-] soldiers and horses are also under the training of Zhang Liao and others. Elite cavalry, but..."

Cheng Yuanzhi took the words: "It's just that the finances are a little tight, isn't it?"

Zhang Yang nodded embarrassedly.

He came this time mainly to ask for money, and he also wanted food, weapons, and horse gear.

In short, he wants everything except trash.

There are 30 people in the Shangdang, [-] soldiers and horses, [-] in [-] militiamen, and they are all cavalry. The financial pressure is frightening to death.

The consumption of one cavalry with man and horse is equivalent to about ten infantry.Combat power is also equivalent to ten infantry.

In other words, Shangdang County, with a population of only 30, is equivalent to raising 30 infantry.

Such a militarism, can the pressure not be too great?
Even if Shangdang County got enough horses and wealth from the Wuhuan people, it still couldn't make ends meet.

In the past few years, if the commander-in-chief had not sent money and food to Shangdang every year, sending tens of thousands and tens of thousands of dan, Shangdang would have gone bankrupt long ago.

"In this way, the surplus of food and equipment will be allocated to the Shangdang by the Montenegro Army, but the Shangdang will need to pay an equal amount of money."

"On the surface, the money and the goods are cleared, and the two parties have separated the relationship. In the dark, you can give a little more."

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the two of them and continued to order: "As for the money, I still have 50 taels of gold and silver here. Zhang Yang takes 30 taels, and Zhang Yan takes 20 taels."

"This matter must be carried out quietly, and we must be careful not to alarm too many people's attention! In order not to be robbed on the way."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang was overjoyed, and quickly patted his chest to promise: "Marshal, don't worry, this time I came to the capital, I brought three thousand elites, I'm afraid they won't come to rob."

"Hmph, come one and die one, come two and die a pair!"

Too reckless. Cheng Yuanzhi was speechless, his eyes turned to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan said slowly: "Don't worry, Commander. Although I only brought three thousand infantry this time, they are all warriors who can stand up to ten. We must be careful on the way so as not to cause chaos."

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at Zhang Yan approvingly.

My brother-in-law is stable and reliable!
Zhang Yang suddenly felt a little apprehensive, and said in a stern voice: "Marshal, the cavalry under my command are really good at fighting. Now if I face Wuhuan cavalry again, I will definitely beat them!"

"That Zhang Liao, you don't know how fierce he is, I can't even beat him!"

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at Zhang Yang: "There are too many people you can't beat. Once you have seen Dingyuan's Bingzhou wolf cavalry, Dong Zhuo's iron cavalry in Hedong, and the Xiliang rebel's iron cavalry, you will know what elite soldiers are."

"When you have met Hua Xiong Lu Bu, Guan Yu Zhang Fei, Yan Liang Wen Chou, Zhao Yun Dian Wei, Xu Chu Huang Zhong, you will know what a fierce general is."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang's expression changed, and he asked cautiously, "Marshal, what about the comparison of force with these people you mentioned?"

"No one is inferior to him, no, they are all braver than him."

Zhang Yan's expression also changed this time.

He knows exactly how cute and fierce Sugai is.

If the ten people mentioned by the commander-in-chief just now are stronger than Su Gai, then wouldn't it be...

Wouldn't it be one knife and one me? ! !

Zhang Yang also thought so.

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded, and said to the two of them earnestly: "There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the people. A mere [-] elite cavalry is nothing, and a mere Zhang Liao is not very good at fighting among the world's fierce generals."

"You have to know that a man's courage is limited, but a commander's talent is boundless. War. After all, it depends on the commander's resourcefulness and the soldiers' bravery to be invincible. It is not the general who can fight."

"Xiang Yu, the overlord of the past, had the courage to defeat ten thousand people, but he did not die at the hands of Han Xin in the end."

"Marshal, I'll take note of everything." Zhang Yang and Zhang Yan responded in unison.

Cheng Yuanzhi stood up, tidied up his clothes, picked up his folding fan, and said with a light smile:

"Okay, to avoid being noticed, I won't let you stay overnight. You can find a place to stay on your own. I will send someone to deliver the gold and silver to the northern suburbs when you leave."

Zhang Yang turned his head and looked at Zhang Yan, and stood up one after another. The former cupped his hands and said:

"Marshal, then this subordinate will retire now."

Cheng Yuanzhi said "hmm" and watched the two of them leave the house and walk towards the inner courtyard.

After crying, Zhang Xiaoyu looked very charming, and I felt pity for it. He was sitting in front of the dressing table, staring at the mirror in a daze.

Cheng Yuanzhi stood in the distance and admired her delicate back for a while, and after walking a few steps forward, she spotted her.

As if realizing what was going to happen next, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up, lowered her head, and pinched the corner of her clothes, looking very cramped and nervous, and her whole body became stiff.

Cheng Yuanzhi took two more steps forward, stretched out his hand, pushed the hair hanging down from her forehead to the sides, and carefully looked at her fair and delicate face, full of shyness, and big dark eyes.

For a moment there was excitement in my heart, my clothes moved slightly,
At this critical moment, someone outside the house suddenly shouted:

"Marshal, Mr. Cai is affectionate."

It was Li Er's voice.

Zhang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff body immediately relaxed.

Cheng Yuanzhi shrugged helplessly, turned and walked out of the room.

Can only come again at night.

Hope no one bothers by then.
