Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 105 Wei Yuan, he is the hidden dragon!

The competition between the three countries has come to an end for the time being.

One of the purposes of Yelu Xinxian and Li Liangzuo's mission to the Great Zhou Dynasty also collapsed.

In addition, they also have another purpose, which is to take a look at the strength of the Imperial Army of Great Zhou.

Use this to estimate the military power possessed by the Zhou Dynasty.

When Ye Luxin first proposed to go to the Forbidden Army Camp to watch the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The civil servants headed by Han Zhang immediately refused:

"You two countries, Liao and Xia, are the defeated ones. You just proposed to compete with me, the general of the Zhou Dynasty, again. Now you want to go to my forbidden army camp. It's so unreasonable. What do you mean?"

"We in heaven have been tolerant of you and others, but you have repeatedly provoked us. This is intolerable!"

"."

Even Ye Luxin and others did not expect that after mentioning the matter of going to the Forbidden Army barracks, before the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty said anything, the civil servants all stood up one by one.

There was a pause.

Ye Luxin first bowed to Zhao Zhen and said:

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, the foreign minister made this request because he wanted to see the style of your country's soldiers. There is no disrespect in any way."

Li Liangzuo also lowered his attitude and said: "Your country is a superior country, can't you agree to even this small request?"

Zhao Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Fu.

The latter slowly said: "If you want to see my Forbidden Army camp, it's okay. However, it would be a little inappropriate for you to look at this important barracks at will."

In other words, you can watch it, but you can’t watch it for free.

Ye Luxin asked curiously: "I wonder what the British Duke wants?"

Zhang Fu looked at Zhao Zhen respectfully.

The latter nodded to let him speak freely.

After a pause, Zhang Fu said with a smile: "Since we are going to the Forbidden Army camp, we must watch my soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty practice. Since it is a practice, we must be wasting our energy."

"And our Great Zhou Dynasty has regulations on rations and wages, and there are also clear rules on when to drill. If the soldiers are allowed to train earlier due to the arrival of envoys from the two countries, the rations and wages will probably exceed the regulations."

what?
Hearing this, Ye Luxin and Li Liangzuo were both stunned.

Many years ago, they had not sent people to see the Forbidden Army barracks in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, there was no mention of food and grass.

People say that civil servants have a sharp tongue and the most changeable minds.

But now it seems that the generals of the Zhou Dynasty were so shameless, but the civil servants were too shy to mention it?

粮饷
Are you short of these food and wages?

Li Liangzuo asked curiously: "I wonder how much food and grass your country needs so that we can witness the training of your soldiers?"

Zhang Fu smiled and said, "Not much, one million stones of food is enough."

what?
Millions of stones?
Ye Luxin's face turned livid at first, "Mr. British, are you kidding me?"

Zhang Fu frowned, "On such an important occasion, do you think I will make fun of you?"

Ye Luxin said dissatisfiedly: "We just want to see your army's style. If your country doesn't want to, just say so, why do you need to tease us?"

Teasing?

Zhang Fu snorted.

Wei Yuan, who was well aware of his mentor's deep intentions, suddenly said:

"In the battle of Daizhou, my Zhou soldiers used more than a million stones of food and grass?"

"This war was started by your two countries. Shouldn't you two give me an explanation to the officers of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"You just withdraw your troops and stop fighting, and you want to cover up the fact that you launched a war?"

Hear this.

The envoys of the two countries finally understood.

This is Zhang Fu's master and apprentice, or the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who are dissatisfied that the battle in Daizhou ended in such a muddle.

A defeated country must pay the price of the defeated country.

Over the years, the Zhou Dynasty did not ask for food, wages or other things in its foreign wars, regardless of victory or defeat.

Many people are also proud of this, saying that only in this way can they show the magnanimity of the heaven.

All fucking farts.

When the soldiers were guarding the frontiers despite being cold and hungry, why didn't you say you showed the magnanimity of the Heavenly Kingdom?
The war is over. Helping outsiders and saying that we won’t ask for compensation or other things is the will of the Celestial Empire.
You have all taken advantage of me, so the soldiers have been wronged in vain?
Zhang Fu doesn’t want to see such a thing!
I heard Wei Yuan say that.

Ye Luxin first looked at Li Liangzuo with a troubled look on his face.

Other things are easy to say, but with these millions of stones and grain, they really can't make the decision.

"This matter is of great importance. We still need to discuss it before we can make a decision."

Li Liangzuo said.

Wei Yuan said: "Then we'll wait until you make a decision before we talk about going to our Forbidden Army camp." The Forbidden Army barracks is an important military location of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Those who are good at fighting can figure out a general idea just by making a patrol.

If this was the Zhenguan period of the previous dynasty, and martial virtue was abundant to the extreme, it might be possible to enhance the country's prestige.

But what about Dazhou?

It’s really hard to put into words.

Unless necessary, the military and state's important weapons should not be shown to others.

Ye Luxin and Li Liangzuo had to give up temporarily.

Zhao Zhen saw what was going on here and slowly said:

"The envoys from the two countries have come a long way and have a hard journey. They should go back and have a good rest first."

"Qing Wei, while the envoys from the two countries are in Beijing, I will ask you to be responsible for reception and other matters."

Wei Yuan bowed and said: "The last general will take the order."

Originally, it was Honglu Temple's job to receive foreign envoys.

However, after this battle, Zhao Zhen also discovered that these envoys should be treated with force to the end.

He believed that Wei Yuan was a strong external person, so it would be best for him to be in charge of the envoys.

After everyone disperses.

Wei Yuan was responsible for delivering the envoys to a special post house.

On the way, Yeluxin spoke to him first:

"I've heard of General Wei's name a long time ago, and today I see General Wei's bravery again. I'm really lucky."

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "Who taught you the official language?"

Ye Luxin was stunned for a moment, "What does General Wei mean?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Good teaching."

Yelu Xin first smiled and said, "General Wei is so complimentary."

"General Wei, considering your country's financial resources, it doesn't matter whether you want those million stones of food or not."

"Is your country unwilling to let us see the true strength of the Forbidden Army?"

These words have the meaning of looking down on Da Zhou.

Wei Yuan frowned and said, "The defeated party should pay the price. This has been the case since ancient times."

Li Liangzuo said: "I heard that your country's problem of redundant troops is extremely serious. Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army has been reduced because of this, and your country doesn't want us to see it?"

Wei Yuan said bluntly: "No matter how incompetent our imperial army is, we still defeated you in the battle of Daizhou. What shame do you have to say that I am not a great Zhou general?"

Ye Luxin shook his head first and said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is short of horses. As we all know, if we fight in the field, your country may not be able to defeat our two countries."

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Your official language is so good, it must be related to my various theories of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I wonder if you know the four words "Qian Long Zai Yuan"?

"This true dragon of the Great Zhou is still sleeping. If it awakens, do you really think that with the strength of the two countries, you can prevent the unification of the Great Zhou?"

Hear the sound.

Ye Luxinxian and Li Liangzuo were both slightly stunned.

Later, they carefully recalled what Wei Yuan said and felt that it was extremely reasonable.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was far superior to the two countries in terms of resources or number of people.

For example, the problem of redundant troops mentioned before is just a stubborn disease of Da Zhou.

One day, once the stubborn diseases are removed, can Liao and Xia really be able to compete with the Zhou Dynasty with their respective backgrounds?

This is an unknown.

Return to Guanyi.

The two discussed Wei Yuan.

Li Liangzuo sighed: "It has been almost a hundred years since there has been a strong general like Wei Yuan in this land."

A hundred years ago, it was Li Cunxiao.

Before that, it was Guo Ziyi, Xue Rengui, and Li Jing.

Counting further forward, there are too many.

Ye Luxin nodded first and said: "Yes, in this land, there are either no heroes, or there are unparalleled heroes."

"Wei Yuan said that Da Zhou is a hidden dragon. In my opinion, he is the hidden dragon!"

"Once he is allowed to take power and take charge of Zhou's military affairs, I'm afraid it will be a nightmare for you and me."

Li Liangzuo said in surprise: "You think so highly of him?"

Ye Luxin responded first: "You and I, Wei Yuan, is indeed an opponent worth being afraid of."
