In the Blade

Chapter 80 Liu Bolun

To be fair, Du Chengfeng did not have a good impression of Liu Bolun.

As the general manager of the military equipment of Yanzhou, Liu Bolun resigned from his post when he was fighting in Jizhou. Even if Du Chengfeng was not from the Southern Chen Dynasty, he had fought all the way from Jizhou, so it was difficult for him to have any good impression of such a person who deserted the battlefield.

"Just for deserting the battlefield, he is not even as good as Yang Sanlang."

This is Du Chengfeng's evaluation of Liu Bolun.

No matter how close the other party is, it is the same.

But Liu Bolun still chattered around him, looking like he was trying to comfort him.

And this senior in the workplace talked for a long time, to put it bluntly, only for one thing.

That is to persuade Du Chengfeng to resign with him.

"Da Chen is already rotten!"

Taking out the gourd and taking two sips of wine, Liu Bolun continued to persuade.

"It's meaningless to stay in that position! The chief of ordnance can manage weapons, but can he manage the people who hold weapons? Can he manage the people who manage these people?"

"...Wait? You mean, you supported supporting Jibei at the beginning?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong. Liu Bolun clearly had something else in his words.

If Liu Bolun was originally in favor of sending troops to Jibei, but this opinion was rejected by the governor of Yanzhou, then this act of resigning from office seemed to make some sense - it was nothing more than having ambitions but being frustrated. Although it was a bit irresponsible, it was at least within Du Chengfeng's understanding.

But just when Du Chengfeng thought that Liu Bolun would nod and admit it, the six-foot ugly man drank two sips of wine.

"Wrong, I am not the one who does not support sending troops."

"...Huh?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but frown.

And under the influence of the wine, Liu Bolun continued to speak.

"It's easy to say 'send troops', but where will the troops come from? Where will the generals come from? When you come to Yanzhou, you can see that although it is close to Jibei, the customs of the people are different. How many lives will be lost if we recruit soldiers from here and take them to fight? How many monsters will be raised?"

Monster.

Du Chengfeng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Although Liu Bolun's behavior was almost desertion from the battlefield, as someone who had fought in Jibei himself, he had to admit that Liu Bolun's judgment was actually correct.

The reason why he was able to defeat He Xiqing in Jibei was naturally because he risked his life, but on the other hand, it was also because He Xiqing never saw any enemies after he conquered Jizhen.

Southern Chen reinforcements? No. Civilian volunteers? No. From beginning to end, He Xiqing faced only Du Chengfeng as his opponent.

This directly caused He Xiqing, who could have become stronger by killing and was ready to snowball with the momentum of a great victory, to run out of food on the spot.

If Yanzhou sent troops, the result would be different.

You have to know the customs and habits of Yanzhou, which Du Chengfeng has also experienced in the past few days. Although this place near Jizhou can be regarded as quite martial, even if there are hunters to maintain law and order, murders still happen frequently, but this kind of night murder, compared with the kind of street fights in Jizhou, is still a bit of a small fight after all - if the soldiers are recruited from here and taken to Jibei, He Xiqing is afraid that they will be defeated in one encounter, and then they will be happy to eat a wave of fat.

If such a situation really occurs, facing He Xiqing who has quickly developed into a complete form, facing He Xiqing who has crushed the entire Jizhou with a great victory, even if Du Chengfeng fights for his life, he may be unable to save the situation.

In other words, Liu Bolun's resignation actually helped him unintentionally?

"Of course, another reason why I don't support conscription is that it's impossible to recruit soldiers."

Liu Bolun grinned.

"You don't think that the people of Yanzhou are really willing to risk their lives to help the people of Jizhou fight, right?"

After that, Liu Bolun stuffed the wine gourd on his waist to Du Chengfeng.

"So don't think so much, leave early when you are tired. Since you are also a grinding craftsman, you should be able to perceive something... Our world is crazy! Everyone in the world is crazy! Instead of being with crazy people every day, it's better to drink more wine, it can at least make you relax and make you happy."

"I am more inclined to think that everyone may have a little... their own persistence?"

Although he said this, Du Chengfeng still took the wine gourd handed by Liu Bolun and hung it around his waist.

Obviously, Liu Bolun is a pessimist. Du Chengfeng can understand this, but his personality is not very agreeable to this. Compared with the pessimistic drinking and waiting for death, he is more willing to use his own hands to earn a good living environment for himself.

Of course, sometimes relying on his own hands may not be enough, but he still has a knife.

He and his weapon have long been in tune with each other.

"Well, since you still have your own ideas, I won't persuade you. Anyway, Yanzhou really needs someone to clean up the mess."

Having said this, Liu Bolun came up and put his arm around Du Chengfeng's shoulders.

"I'll teach you a lazy way. Don't be silly and use the righteousness of poetry and books to suppress the murderous resentment on the weapons. If you do this too much, you won't be able to bear it... Do you remember the homemade wine stored in my house? You can pull the weapons back and throw them into the wine jar. When those resentful soldiers are full of wine, their resentment will disappear and they will stop making any noise."

"Oh? Is there such a way?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but get interested.

He used wine to sharpen a knife, and after that sharpening, the heavy knife in his hand had the ability to swing a fire blade - but he didn't expect that Liu Bolun actually used the same method, and even used it earlier than him.

But then he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He knew about the evil spirit of swords and weapons, but what was this murderous resentment?

And what about using poetry and righteousness to suppress it... What is this?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Du Chengfeng didn't ask in person.

Obviously, compared with the original way of sharpening knives in this world, his wild way of sharpening knives is a little too different. If he was stupid enough to say "I sharpened it directly" at this time, I'm afraid that all the students in this mountain would soon treat him as a golden monkey and come for a collective visit.

Instead of showing off yourself, it's better to steal some of others' work first, see what the so-called poetry and righteousness and murderous resentment are, and then make plans.

So, he simply opened the saddle bag and took out his broken horse sword.

"Actually, I came to Ziyang Mountain this time not to cause trouble for you, but for this."

As he said this, Du Chengfeng drew his sword out of its sheath.

"This sword broke once before, and although it was repaired afterwards... but you can see that it is like dead, and it has not been repaired at all."

"Your sword... has killed many people."

Liu Bolun's brows immediately frowned.

"Why did you use it to kill so many people?"

"Didn't Jibei fight at that time? The Hu people went south... there was nothing we could do."

Du Chengfeng said a few vague words and then skipped the topic.

"Why, it's not easy to repair?"

"It's not that it's not easy to repair, it's that it can't be repaired."

Liu Bolun sighed after looking at the broken horse sword.

"It has suffered too much murderous resentment, and this sword has died."

Overtime is over, good morning everyone.
