Wei Wuhou

Chapter 643

(Updated, due to busy work recently, the amount of updates is small!!)

Yanshan was plundered by the Hu people, but on the prairie outside the Great Wall, in the paradise of the Hu people, there was a Wei army living very comfortably.

At least, in this heartland of the Hu people, the Wei army here can live in peace without even fighting.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Wei army in Wuyang City now view the battle in the pass as if they were watching a theater.

The soldiers and officials can watch the theater, but Zhou Yan, who temporarily presides over the affairs of Wuyang City, is busy in the general's yamen at this time.

There are two main things. One is that the iron ore in the city will be used up, and the work of continuing to store iron armor will be delayed.

Now that the Xiongnu went south, the several tribes responsible for mining Wuyang City were all conscripted by the Huns and became the vanguard of attacking the Great Wall. This included the entire Yiyi tribe who were at odds with the Huns.

Because of this, no one is doing the mining business, and the ore in this city can only sit and eat.Moreover, Zhou Yan also heard that the ore in the Heishui River has begun to deplete after more than a year of intensive mining.

This is undoubtedly more deadly, he knows the importance of iron to his son better than anyone else.Therefore, he is already making arrangements to request that Zhangan be located within the entire territory of Wei State to find those iron mines that have not been discovered.

The second thing that bothered Zhou Yan was that the gang of men stationed in Wuyang City were either asking for a fight or begging for a fight. Of course, there was also the matter before Zhou Yan.

In his office room, Zhou Yan was speechless to the two people sitting in front of him. The people who came were Hu Hansan and Yan Qing, two of Wei Wuji's direct descendants.

Knowing that Zhou Yan was very impatient at this time, Hu Hansan still said at this time: "Mr. Zhou, I still don't understand why we didn't let us beat that Donghu man hard a few days ago, and made us flee in embarrassment!"

When Hu Hansan said this, he was actually very angry. They are a strong army that has won every battle, but they will be beaten by those scumbag opponents.

What made Hu Hansan even more uncomfortable was that when they fled in a "panic", they needed the newly formed light cavalry to cover them.

This is simply a shame for Hu Hansan and others who claim to be number one in the world.

In addition, the opponent has also changed into armor now, and the combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved, so Hu Hansan and others still have a sense of crisis.

At this time, Hu Hansan came to question Zhou Yan, in fact, it was more to show an attitude: We are actually very good at fighting!

But Zhou Yan still had to explain: "Of course there is a reason for your defeat!"

Anyway, today's affairs have been dealt with, so Zhou Yan also has time to reason with the two people. He stood up and said, "You know, the Donghu people have broken their promise and want to help the Huns attack the Great Wall..."

"So, we have to send troops to attract the attack direction of the wolf Donghu. This is the reason why we sent troops!" Zhou Yan said slowly.

Under Hu Hansan's still incomprehensible eyes, he continued: "The reason why we pretend to be a beggar is to preserve our strength. As long as we lure the Donghu people away from us, our goal will be achieved!"

"Then why is it that I waited for the defeat, why didn't the newly trained light cavalry go..." Hu Hansan still asked, how could he, the number one soldier, be defeated.

So Zhou Yan had no choice but to persuade: "How can the combat power of the new cavalry be compared with yours? For the safety of this battle, you must naturally be allowed to go!"

Zhou Yan's words actually meant flattering, which was equivalent to saying that your heavy cavalry is stronger, and this kind of dangerous work is naturally safe only for the strong.

But Hu Hansan's IQ is random. Although he heard Zhou Yan's flattery at this time, he thought it was a loss for the scholar.

Then Hu Hansan said mockingly: "Having said so much, the Beiping Pass is still falling... So Mr. Zhou, you can't do this either!"

Zhou Yan is not without temper. The stubborn man in front of him made him lose his patience.

Then Zhou Yan said in a cold voice: "I'm just following the orders of the young master. Could it be that Captain Hu thinks that... the young master has to come and explain to you? Or do you think that you are smarter than the young master?"

In Wuyang City, because he is Wei Wuji's absolute direct descendant, Hu Hansan is naturally not afraid of anyone.If Zhou Yan used Wei Wuji to suppress him, he immediately became furious.

In Hu Hansan's view, the relationship between himself and the young master is naturally closer, and there is Zhou Yan taking advantage of this to pretend to be a tiger.

Seeing that Hu Hansan was about to confront Zhou Yan, Yan Qingcai, who was silent at the side, stopped him and said, "Old Hu, shut up!"

After being scolded by Yan Qing, Hu Hansan turned his head, his eyes full of questioning.

But in front of him, he didn't say much to him. He just cupped his hands and said to Zhou Yan: "Mr. Zhou, I still have military affairs, so I won't accompany you!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Yan to speak, Yan Qing dragged Hu Hansan out of the room.

As a bystander of the scene just now, Yan Qing knew very well that the two of them came to make a scene, expressing their attitude, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved.If they really broke up with Zhou Yan, they will definitely be punished in the end.

Seeing the two people leave, Zhou Yan didn't feel relaxed at all, but said to himself: "I'm not afraid of making trouble, I'm afraid of keeping it in my heart and not talking!"

…………

Outside the south gate of Wuyang City, there was a person standing right now, looking at the direction of Yanshan County for a long time without saying a word.

This person is the only three captains in Wuyang City, Zhang Xian, the only cavalry captain in office.

As a native of Yanshan County, after learning that the Xiongnu had broken through, his heart began to miss his fathers and villagers in his hometown.

He has a deep understanding of the cruelty of the Huns, which makes him eager to lead his troops back and drive those hateful Hu people out.

However, although Zhang Xian had a strong army under his command, he could only stay in Wuyang City, which made him very depressed.

Just a few days ago, when he learned that troops would be sent to attack Donghu, Zhang Xian was happy for a while.

But when the course of the war went astray, Zhang Xian realized that it was just the young master's trick.But when Zhang Xian tried to control the army to fight the Donghu people, he found that the army did not seem to be under his control.

The final result was that after a battle between the two armies, the casualties were controlled in single digits.

And Zhang Xian knew for the first time that his old brothers were no longer the team that obeyed him at the beginning.

Zhang Xian, who wants to enforce his will, can be said to be isolated by his brothers, and he alone cannot change the general situation.

"Young master! This subordinate really admires you!" Zhang Xian said in his hoarse voice, looking at Wu'an, who was farther away.

But at this time, Zhou Yan's voice came from behind Zhang Xian, saying: "Young master, you are an outstanding man, naturally I admire you!"

Zhang Xian turned around, watching Zhou Yan walk towards him with a cloudy face, and the scene became quiet for a while.

In fact, the current Zhou Yan also has some sympathy for Zhang Duwei. Anyone who is abandoned by the original group will feel uncomfortable.

"Why is Master Zhang feeling so sad?" Zhou Yan asked pretending not to know.

Zhang Xian is not stupid, but he said bluntly at this time: "Now that the Xiongnu have broken through the customs and the people have died, we are trapped in this square inch!"

Zhang Xian naturally kept what should be said and what should not be said in his heart. Struggle for power is too taboo.

Zhou Yan nodded, and then said: "The common people are suffering, and we also feel the same. Sending troops to rescue is the right thing to do... But now, the time has not come, and sending troops hastily is a disaster!"

Zhang Xian couldn't help asking: "So, what is the opportunity to send troops?"

Zhou Yan also looked to the south, and at the same time respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Of course it is, when the son returns!"

In fact, Zhang Xian knew the answer, but when Zhou Yan really said that, he felt even more uncomfortable. Who knows when it was!

Seeing Zhang Xian's anxious expression, Zhou Yan couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry Captain Zhang, it won't be long!"

But at this time, Zhou Yan was also worried about this Captain Zhang.

If Zhang Xian continues to breed resentment, the people in Wuyang City who touch the sticks are not blind, and this Mr. Zhang may be finished by then.

Just now, the reason why Yan Qing quickly pulled Hu Hansan back was because he was afraid that this guy made a mistake and would be reported by the person who touched the pole.

But at this time, Zhou Yan could only wish Zhang Xian the best of luck. It was impossible for him to call the names directly, because he himself was also being monitored at the stick.

It can be said that although the young master is thousands of miles away, he still holds Wuyang City firmly in his hands.
