Chapter 8 Young Wei Yan

Seeing these energetic children gradually growing up in this paradise-like settlement day by day, I was relieved and thought that one day they would go to the battlefield, and most people might never return, so I couldn't help feeling sad. But I also thought that maybe these children could open up a new situation for the Han people from the beginning and were excited. Although I had never seen the other two settlements myself, Gao Shun, who had heard the guidance, came back and said that although the children there were not as strong as the battle power of the camp, they were still much stronger than the so-called elite soldiers trained by the government. After all, in the words of the 21st century, these children are already systematically trained professional soldiers, so naturally they are not comparable to those soldiers who throw their hoes and take a gun and compare them with a few strokes.

In order to improve combat effectiveness and give them a higher chance of survival on the battlefield, I designed half-body armor suitable for infantry wear and helmets that only high-level generals would have at that time. The tone of coloring of military uniforms is bright red, so choosing red is the influence of color on people's psychology. Red as a warm tone is easy to make people excited and can greatly improve the combat capabilities of the army.

The psychology books I read in my previous life include an introduction to the role of color on people's psychology. One of the authors once counted that in a highly confrontational sports competition, if both sides have the same strength, the winning rate of wearing red sportswear is much higher than that of other colors. The most typical one is a boxing match. In a match where the winning rate is determined by points and the difference in points is less than three, the winning rate of the boxer wearing red shorts and the boxer wearing blue shorts is 66 to three to four.

I personally think that the reason why Guan Yu was almost invincible in the Three Kingdoms era was not only against Lu Bu, but also his high martial arts skills were because he had a red face that looked like a heavy date. When he fought with Lu Bu, the red rabbit horse used by Lu Bu was also red. Later, the red rabbit horse was really like a tiger's wings when he got to Guan Yu's hands, so he could easily kill the famous Hebei generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were said to be not much different from his martial arts. (This paragraph is a personal remark)

Just after the Chinese New Year in Zhongping, a family member reminded me that it was time to go back to my hometown Zhaiyang to marry the wife I had made before my mother passed away. Although I was very dissatisfied with this arranged marriage, considering that my mother had not added filial piety much before her death, and because of the strong psychological shadows that arose when she was looking for a wife in her previous life, I naturally accepted this daughter-in-law who was chosen for nothing. I was very lucky and had a few older soldiers in the camp who protected me and embarked on a journey back home.

This day, it was just noon when I passed by Yiyang. I was drowsy because of the spring rays. When I was leaning against the car and napping, the car stopped. Guo Binghe (the adopted boy all followed my surname) asked for instructions: "Master, there is a restaurant in front of me. Should I go to rest?"

"Okay! It happened to be a little tired, so Gaoshun, let's go eat something before rushing." I called Gaoshun, who was following the car after riding a horse, and entered the restaurant together. After sitting down, I ordered a few side dishes, took out a little wine and drank it with Gaoshun. In fact, I only drank it by myself. Gaoshun has never seen him drink since he followed me. This small shop is located next to the important road, and it is quite clean and the business is good. After us, someone came in to rest one after another.

Just as I was drinking a sip of wine and savoring the dishes, I heard someone in the store say, "Store, why don't you sell good wine to me? Is it a long time to deceive my literary life?"

Looking up at the person who talks, he can only look at one side. The man is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although his arms are not wide, he can see that he is strong and powerful. His hair is close to the top of his head and the back of his head protrudes. It is estimated that when the brain bones are still soft, the family is not properly caring for him, which causes some deformity in the bones behind his head. Listening to the sound and looking at his shape, you will know that it is his first time traveling far away, otherwise he will not be able to tell whether the wine sold by the restaurant or the wine brought by the guests.

Wait... Wen Chang? There are... strange bones behind your head? It looks a bit annoying! Could it be that this person is Wei Yan, who was called rebellious by Zhuge Liang, and Wei Wen Chang?

Wei Yan was a surrendered general in Changsha (actually, he should be considered an uprising general). Zhuge Liang saw that he had a rebellious backbone in his mind. He temporarily left his life because of his bravery. However, he had been suppressing him, and refused to listen to his words and refused to follow his plan. He had been guarding Hanzhong for fifteen years for Liu Bei, and did not let an enemy soldier enter his defense zone. Wang Ping, who took over, did not follow Wei Yan's established policy and defeated Cao Shuang's southern expedition army with less and defeated Cao Shuang's army in the south. Since he had this ability,

Then it was natural for Liu Bei to promote Wei Yan in an extraordinary way. After Liu Bei became emperor, he was appointed as General Wei Yan in Zhenbei. Liu Chan ascended the throne and was appointed Marquis of Duting. He was promoted all the way, and his last official position was former military advisor, general of the Western Expedition, and the Marquis of Nanzheng. Marquis of Nanzheng was the Marquis of County, and was the first in the title of different surnames, and was the same level as Zhuge Liang's Marquis of Wuxiang (County). When Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan, Wei Yan proposed the strategy of attacking Ziwu Valley: "Wenxia

Hou Mao (at that time, Chang'an) was young, and he was a son-in-law, but he was timid but had no plans. Now he was a 5,000 elite troops and 5,000 grains. He came straight from Bao, followed the Qinling Mountains to the east, and went north to the north. After only ten days, he could arrive in Chang'an. When Mao heard that Yan Yan was here, he would have to escape by boat. In Chang'an, there were only the censors, the prefect of Jingzhao, and the Hengmen Dige Pavilion and the Sanmin Guest were enough to eat in Zhou. Compared to the east, it was more than twenty days, and the Duke came from the Xigu, which would be enough to reach. In this way, Xianyang would go to one go in one fell swoop.

The west can be settled." Zhuge Liang: "It is better to follow the Taoist path than to follow the Taoist path. You can take Longyou flatly. You must be defeated without any danger." Therefore, he did not adopt his suggestion. We do not know whether the Ziwu Valley strategy is feasible. But compared with Zhuge Liang's "accompanying the Taoist path" strategy, the result of the implementation of the strategy of "accompanying Longyou flatly" was that he could not obtain inch of land. We cannot refuse to admit that Wei Yan's strategic idea at that time was not unfeasible.

Seeing the guests angry, the store hurriedly stepped forward and explained that the wine was not available in the shop that the guests brought. I greeted, "Would this hero be willing to drink with you?"

He didn't recognize his life. After hearing my greeting, he immediately came over and sat opposite me and bowed, "Thank you!" He poured himself a bowl without hesitation and drank it in. When I watched him ruin the wine that was worth a thousand gold, my heart aches, but he still smiled and said, "Do you dare to ask who is the name of the hero? Where is the person?"

He put down the bowl and said he had finished drinking and replied: "I am the author of Wei Yan, Wenchang, who is a local person, lives in the north of Yiyang City."

There is no mistake. This person is exactly what I think of Wei Yan. Over the years, except Gao Shun, I have never tried to recruit celebrities from the Three Kingdoms period as my subordinates. But it does not mean that I don’t want to get a few people to serve as a storefront. Since you have delivered it to me today, don’t think about leaving. However, from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, although Wei Yan is not as obscene as Guan Yu, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He must first kill his majesty! After making up his mind, he noticed that his outfit should be ready to leave his hometown and go out to explore. So I continued to ask: "A hero is a local? Why do you look like a dusty person? I don’t know if you want to travel far or visit friends?"

Wei Yan poured another bowl of wine before saying, "I heard that Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was recruiting soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turbans. I learned a good martial arts and was willing to serve the court, so I went to help."

As expected, I am very arrogant. Not to mention that I am going to join me, I will help you. Let me pour a basin of cold water on you first.

He deliberately whispered to himself: "Hasn't the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou been cleared? And it is the spring plowing season, and recruiting soldiers at this time will hurt the people. How could Wang Rui be like this? Could it be that he wants to rebel?" When I said this, I secretly looked at Wei Yan. Seeing that Wei Yan was confused when he heard my words, he continued: "I'm sorry those heroes who are determined to serve the court will become vassals of rebellion when they go here! It's so alas! It's so alas!"

Although Wei Yan was young, he was also a smart person. After a moment of thinking, he retorted: "Wang Rui, the Muslim in Jingzhou, has limited talent, and is timid by nature, and will not do such a disobedient thing."

What I am waiting for is your words: "Since the hero knows that Wang Rui's talent is limited, and he is timid by nature, why should he go and surrender?"

This question really left Wei Yan speechless: "This..."

While the iron was hot, I pointed to Gao Shun next to me and said, "The hero is good at speaking and Taoism. My general has learned a few superficial martial arts. I wonder if I dare to compete with my general? If the hero can't even beat him, he should go home as soon as possible to avoid losing his life on the killing field!"

Wei Yan slapped the table and said, "Why don't you dare!"

OK! He got into the trap, but he was not trapped deep enough. I smiled and said, "Since Wen Chang has such a good mood to compete with my family, there is no fun in innocent martial arts competition. Why are Wen Chang thinking?"

Wei Yan thought to himself: Are you very familiar with you? He was a hero just now, but now he has grown up his writing. And you obviously want me to compete with your generals, why did I become more and more happy?

I looked at Wei Yan with interest. If he had been in another ten or twenty years, he might not have been fooled, but now even if Wei Yan saw through me and was concealed by him, he would have to jump in.

Sure enough, Wei Yan asked, "I don't know what to bet?"

I pointed to the wine on the seat and said, "If Wen Chang beats me, I will have two jars of this wine in my car. If Wen Chang loses..."

Wei Yan asked: "How about I lose?"

I deliberately elongated my voice and said, "Has Wen Chang failed?... That means that my martial arts are not good enough. I will force you to be a general, so that you can learn some real skills with me!"

"It's outrageous!" Wei Yan's little face turned pale, "I want me to be your general with just two jars of wine."

I said, "Wen Chang, don't get angry! No matter whether Wen Chang is skilled in martial arts, he will definitely not be defeated by my general. Do you know that this thing is not for wine!"

Wei Yan asked: "What is it not wine?"

I said confidently: "This is the snow lotus jade liquid!"

Wei Yan exclaimed: "Ah! Is this the Snow Lotus Jade Liquid?"

In recent years, the world has been in chaos, but the trend of enjoyment has not become restrained in the palace and wealthy families. I also understand that rare things are precious, so the wine sold every year has been reduced from the first 300 jars to 500 jars to only 100 jars per year. In addition, I asked someone to tell the merchants who came to buy this thing that was made by Tianshan alchemists and the thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus. Drinking this thing can last forever for a long time. After hearing this, the merchants' door tried every means to exaggerate their contributions, which made the wealthy families, especially those noble ladies, proud of drinking snow lotus jade liquid. Even the empress dowager and the queen praised it after drinking it. Therefore, each jar of this wine can be sold at a sky-high price, and the supply is still in short supply.

So it’s no wonder Wei Yan has such an expression. You know, although he has heard of it, it is impossible for him to see this wine in his capacity. Today, he drank several bowls of wine. If it was converted into grain, the price of these few bowls of wine would be enough for the food for a family of ten years. Moreover, there are two jars waiting for him!

Just as Wei Yan was hesitating, I said, "If Wen Chang thinks he is not my general's opponent, then it's fine. As long as you turn around, I will give you a jar of snow lotus jade liquid!"

After hearing what I said, Wei Yan said angrily: "If you don't have to give me for nothing, I will definitely win this thing!"
