I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]

After receiving the grain and grass in late February, Mi Ren ordered Ding Yuan to lead Lu Bu and [-] soldiers and horses, Zhong Yao led Huang Zhong and [-] soldiers and horses, and he himself took the remaining [-] soldiers and horses and half a month. After all the grain and grass arrived, the soldiers divided into three groups to attack Tu Gehu.

Tu Gehu was determined to resist, especially the team that Mi Ren faced directly, defending Pingcheng to fight against Mi Ren.Finally, in April, Xun You offered a plan to flood Pingcheng, completely defeating this rebel army.

He tracked northward and soon passed Yanmen Pass.

At this time, a war was taking place on the grassland west of Yanmen Pass.When the officials guarding the city heard that Mi Rian was coming, they hurriedly came to meet him personally, and asked whether Mi Rian would recall the general and wait for his order before taking action?

It is a big taboo for generals to fight in front of the battle, and it will completely damage the morale of the army.Mi Yan wouldn't be so mentally handicapped for the sake of official prestige, and waved back the civil official: "It doesn't have to be like this."

He ordered his generals to lead troops to help them, while he stood on the city gate and watched the two armies below fight together.It could be seen that the local army had the upper hand and smiled slightly.

Not long after, a local general who had been rushing forward personally beheaded the enemy general, ending the war.

Tu Gehu's remnant troops surrendered, and the soldiers cheered.Several people who looked like generals stepped forward and used their hands as sedan chairs to carry the general back to the city.

When they got closer, Mi Ren could see clearly that it was a very young general.Judging from the behavior of others towards him, he is still a young boy, he should be the same age as Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, and he has never reached the championship.

His appearance is not outstanding, but despite his excitement, this young man's face is still calm and calm, his eyes are calm and restrained, and he already has the demeanor of a general.

He is very similar to Zhao Yun, young and famous, courageous and resourceful.But he was at the border of the Great Han Dynasty, and he had experienced the baptism of war since he was a child. He personally led troops to fight the enemy when he was more than ten years old.

It can be said that as long as he does not lose at the border, he will become a general in the future.

Xun You beside him sighed and said: "This son is extraordinary, and his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary."

Mi Yan fully agrees with this point of view.

They stood on the city gate for a while, then the leading young general walked quickly back to the city wall with a head in his hand.

He had already heard about Mi Rian from his subordinates, so he went straight to Mi Rian and bowed: "The last general, Zhang Liao, has the word Wen Yuan, see General Mi!"

"When I first met the general, the last general has nothing to give you. I would like to dedicate the head of the rebel leader Luantiva to the general!"

As he spoke, he threw the head of the enemy leader on the ground, and bent over to salute.

Luan Tiwa was the younger brother of Tu Gehu Shanyu Luan Tirong, who was ordered by Luan Tirong to be stationed here as the last line of defense during the Southern Expedition.

During this period of time, Zhang Liao fought against him, winning and losing each other.Until recently, news of the defeat of Tu Gehu's army came one after another, and Luan Tiwa also wanted to retreat. Instead, Zhang Liao took the opportunity to kill him in front of the battle.

Dedicating the head of the enemy army to the general of the formation is the biggest gift that these young generals can give.

"Okay! Zhang Weishi's generous gift is really sent to the heart of this general," Mi Ren laughed loudly, making people stand up, "Zhang Weishi has reached the crown?"

Zhang Liao replied: "The junior general has already attained the crown, at the age of seventeen, the crown was added to the junior general in advance before my father passed away this year."

"So that's how it is," Mi Yan said in admiration, "A young man produces a hero, Wen Yuan really makes us all admire him!"

Only then did Zhang Liao feel the embarrassment of a young man: "General Mi praises you absurdly."

Tu Gehu's rebels at Yanmen Pass had retreated, leaving only Shanyu and Luan Tirong who fled back to Yunzhong County.

Mi En rested in Yanmen for a while, saw Zhang Liao's military training scene, and admired him more and more.

He already knew that Zhang Liao's official position was not conferred by the imperial court, but by the former Yanmen Weishi - after his father Zhang Yi died of illness, he was supported by the local people and followed.

Then he offered an invitation: "Wen Yuan, when this rebellion is over, this general wants to bring you back to the imperial court together. Please Your Majesty reward you for your achievements."

Zhang Liao naturally would not refuse.No matter how calm he was, he was still a young man, and he couldn't help showing a little joy on his face.

Ten days later, Mi Ren led his troops westward to Yunshou County where Tu Gehu's remaining rebels were located.On another five days, the troops led by Zhong Yao and Ding Yuan arrived at the west and south of Yunshou County, and surrounded Yunshou County from three sides.

They did not rush to launch an attack, but persuaded them to surrender first.

Tu Gehu's Shanyu Luan Tirong, in addition to the two generals Hu Yanhao and Xu Buke who were killed by Huang Zhong and Mi Ren, there were also three generals Qiu Linyun, Wu Luolanchun, and Balielanxie. .At this time, Qiu Linyun was beheaded by Lu Bu, and Wu Luolanchun's team was driven away by Zhong Yao and Huang Zhong, so there was no disturbance at all.

Luan Tirong himself was also besieged in the Chanyu Mansion in Yunshou County.Seeing that the situation was over, he had to come out and surrender.

The ten-month Tu Gehu rebellion was finally put down.

Mi Rian first imprisoned Luan Tirong, Wuluolanchun, Balielanxie and others who launched the rebellion into the prison, then led a small team and rode leisurely around Yunshou County and surrounding counties a few days.

Yunzhong County is located within the Great Wall and is the key point of the border.There are abundant water sources, fertile land and large grasslands.It is also for this reason that the sheep they raise are delicious and tender, and the horses they raise are fat and strong, which are important materials for the court.

Most of the counties are descendants of the Xiongnu, Qianghu, Xianbei and other tribes who surrendered during Emperor Wu's time. In fact, a lot of them have been Sinicized from generation to generation.They lived and lived in the county, and mostly lived a peaceful life of farming and grazing.

When Luan Tirong rebelled, the people were very worried, for fear that his failure would implicate them and be driven out of the Great Wall.In this way, they have to migrate with the water and grass like the Huns outside the Great Wall, and their life is not guaranteed at all.

Then, sure enough, it failed and was suppressed.

The people in Tu Gehu felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and they were afraid that the general sent by the court would be a cruel and ruthless person, and when he got angry, he would kill hundreds of thousands or millions of ordinary people like the rumors from his ancestors.

Seeing the general's red lips and white teeth, he felt a little relieved, and seeing a tough-looking burly man (Lu Bu) behind him, all of them trembled for fear of offending them.

The movements of farming and shepherding were all stiff, and many people almost fell on themselves with the farm tools they were carrying.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao said indifferently: "In fact, most of the people here are simple and honest, and they don't want to become rebels. It's just that Tu Gehu and many dignitaries don't behave like human beings, forcing them to rebel."

What he said was the truth, but it was inevitable that he would be suspected of accusing Sang and scolding Huai.After all, there have been many natural and man-made disasters in recent years, and Liu Hong is still trying to die, forcing many people to rebel in just a few years.

Mi Yan did not correct his statement.

It is a good thing for young people to have a temper, and a soft-tempered person in a troubled world will not achieve great things.

He said: "This general will intercede with the imperial court on behalf of these innocent people."

Hearing these words, Zhang Liao had a smile on his face: "Then the general is here to thank the general for his help!"

After investigating the situation in Yunzhong County, Mi Ren returned to Shanyu's mansion in Yunshou County, and the new Shanyu Jinhe stood by in a panic.

The Jin family was also the Tugehu clan hundreds of years ago, but they have fallen behind and been marginalized in recent years, and they have nothing to do with rebellion.Being able to become Shan Yu now depends entirely on Mi Rian's promotion.

As the defeated party, Jin He was in an extremely embarrassing situation: he was burdened with all the hopes of the Tu Gehu tribe, and actually completely relied on the imperial court.

Mi Ren didn't want to play tricks on him, so she reported the truth to the court.The imperial court also quickly sent someone, who was a regular attendant of Shangshutai.

This man's surname is Huang, and he and Mi Ren are political enemies.But now Mi Yan has just quelled the rebellion. When meeting Huang Changshi, Mi Yan sat lazily and casually in his seat, with seven or eight burly men standing beside him, staring at Huang Changshi covetously. Reckless.

Under Mi Yan's supervision, they had to negotiate with Jin He the price they need to pay:

The first point is that all the important people who participated in the rebellion were executed, and the whole family was exiled into the army.As for the dignitaries who followed and participated, all their homes were confiscated and demoted to common people.

In addition, Tu Gehu needs to hand in enough money, war horses, cattle and sheep, which precisely strangles Jin He's lifeline in terms of quantity.

Jin He couldn't tell because he was suffering, and he was afraid that the imperial court would order Mi Ren to massacre all their clans if they didn't get the spoils, so he could only agree with a sad face.

After signing the tentative agreement, Jin He slumped on his seat.I thought it was over, he became a sinner in their county.

He didn't dare to cry, and he still had to entertain that Huang Changshi with all his heart, for fear that he would go back to court to sue if the hospitality was not good, and they would have to pay more.

After nightfall, Mi Ren invited Jin He to his room.

Jin He came humbly, and saw the person opposite said in a relaxed tone: "Actually, I still have a business, but I don't know if Shan Yu is willing to do it."

Jin He was cautious: "I don't know what kind of business the general wants to do with the late general?"

The corner of Mi Yin's mouth curled slightly: "These sheep raised by you Tu Gehu..."

Jin He turned pale with shock: "The general has already taken away all the horses and cattle raised this year for the imperial court. The sheep and herds in the county are the only support for the people's livelihood. Can't you make a difference?"

If he wants to pass all these sheep, the angry clansmen will definitely tear him apart!

"Shan Yu misunderstood," Mi Yan said with a smile, "What the general wants is not your sheep, but their wool."

It is now the beginning of July, and half a month later it will be the season when the flocks will shed their short hair and grow their long hair.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

Even the counselors who knew him well looked at each other in blank dismay, completely unaware of what Mi Ren was trying to do.

In the past few days, they have also seen the sheep raised by the herdsmen. The meat is delicious and not smelly at all. Whether it is steamed, fried, fried or grilled, it is extremely delicious.

But this wool...not to mention grass and gravel, it's also full of dark, sticky grease, it's disgusting to look at!

What does my lord want these for?

"Your Excellency Shan Yu, not only the short hair that has shed this year, but also the long hair that the flock has not yet shed in February every year, this general will want it." Mi Yan tapped the table with her fingertips, "Of course, this general will not It will cause the people to work in vain. This general is willing to exchange salt with you."

"In February, the shaved long hair of ten sheep can be exchanged for five catties of salt, and in July, the short hair of ten sheep can be exchanged for two catties of salt."

what what what?He heard right!There is such a good thing? !

Jin He's face was dull.

He worked hard to calculate: the clansman here, each family raises at least seven or eight sheep at a time, and more often raises more than ten sheep.And one catty of salt is enough for an ordinary family of four to eat for one month, which means that a family can get at least five more months of salt every year.

Salt, five months of salt!

Salt is expensive these days, and it is something that the common people depend on for survival.After negotiating this deal, would he, the defeated Shan Yu, still be able to keep his position and not be kicked out by the angry nobles?

But having said that, this general of the Han Dynasty must be a fool to exchange such precious salt for wool that is not needed at all...

His eyes suddenly became subtle, and when the general opposite was still asking "whether or not to change" in his pleasant voice, he immediately blurted out: "Change, change!"

No, no, how can a fool have so much salt, how can he exchange so much salt for wool?Mi Yan is clearly a god, the god who rescued him from the water and fire!

——He completely forgot that it was Mi Eun who repelled their clansmen and brought him into the current crisis. This meeting is all about exchanging discarded wool and this generous General Mi for salt as soon as possible, lest the general change his mind!

He flattered: "How do you get the wool? Do you pull it all out and give it to you?"

In August, the imperial edict came.

As previously agreed, the Tugehu tribe was not driven out of Bingzhou in the end, but they had to pay enough spoils of war.

Although it hurts the muscles and bones, it will not kill them all, Jin He is very grateful for this.Just at this moment, their people also cut off all the wool that Mi Ren wanted, packed it in sacks, and sent Mi Ren back to Beijing respectfully.

The sheep that Tu Gehu herds are mainly goats, which happen to graze in a different position from the horses.On average, an adult goat can shear ten catties of wool. Of course, the wool in it is small, and most of it is gravel and suet.

After washing, I am afraid that three catties of wool can be produced.

Ten sheep are thirty catties of wool, and two catties of salt are exchanged for thirty catties of goat hair. How can this be profitable.

It was clearly robbery.

Mi Yan strongly condemned his behavior of pulling wool, and hoped that more opportunities like this could come.

There is no way, there are so many places to spend money in the early stage of starting a business, the heart can only be so dirty.

When the group left the Tugehu tribe, Mi Ren ordered the people to burn and collect plant ash in the temporary camp, and then mixed the plant ash with water to clean the grease on the wool.

After the plant ash water is filtered, it is alkaline water, and these stains can be completely washed away when the concentration is high.After a few more washes, it's almost done.

Everyone got busy following Mi Yan's instructions. Xun You and the others looked at it for a while and asked Mi Yan, "What are you going to do with these wools, my lord?"

Mi Yi replied, "I'll make clothes for you."

Advisers and generals:? ? ?

Ah, it's too scary to wear these things on your body, right? !

Several people looked at the black and greasy wool that the soldiers poured out of the sacks, their faces turned green!

Including the newly joined Zhang Liao.

——Yes, because Mi Yan was going to ask His Majesty for a reward for him earlier, so he followed Mi Yan back.As for Lu Bu and others, they will follow Ding Yuan back to the Governor's Mansion for the time being, waiting for the edict of the imperial court's award.

Zhang Liao lives in Yanmen Pass and is the person who knows the wool best.The whole person watching this was stiff, obviously thinking of the suffocating breath he smelled when he strayed into the sheepfold because of the war.

"I'm afraid the clothes made of this thing also have that suffocating smell of lamb..." Although the mutton doesn't taste like this, but these sheep have it when they are still alive!

Must be all attached to these fleeces!

"That's right, if we go out wearing these sheep-smelling clothes, and thus be considered barbarians of the Hu tribe, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, my lord?"

"Gongda likes sheep," Zhong Yao decided to bring the disaster to the east, "I see that he ate a lot of mutton in Yunzhong County, he will definitely like clothes made of wool!"

"..." Xun You, "No, no, no need, I think Han Sheng is very curious about it."

Huang Zhong: ...For the first time in my life, I hate myself for being stupid!

It was a rare spectacle that the crowd refused in a hurry.

"Really?" Mi Yan was not angry, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, the general won't force you."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Clothes made of wool can be worn by anyone who likes them.

They won't wear them anyway!

So they all hid away and stopped watching the lord washing the wool, lest the lord think they were interested in the wool and reward them with clothes.

At the beginning of August, Mi Ren returned to Jingluo.

Before he went, there was a lot of turmoil in Beijing, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers.But when he came back, all the people came to welcome the onlookers, and the alleys were empty.

The women in every household were not afraid, and ran to the houses on both sides of the road to peek at Mi Eun.Seeing that he was young and handsome, they threw flowers and sachets one after another, hoping that Mi Yan would look up at them.

Mi Ren ignored it.

He didn't smile a little until he saw an elegant figure not far away.
