Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 657

"Master, where are we going?"

A young man with a bag on his back followed Pu Yuan, asking as he walked.

"Go to my senior brother. Forging 28 swords within a year is very difficult for one person alone, but with the participation of senior brother, it will definitely be done. However, senior brother is obsessed with making swords, so I don't know if I can invite him down the mountain. .”

Pu Yuan was a little sad, although he boasted in front of Liu De, but he really couldn't finish it, in addition to losing his reputation, he might even lose his life!
No matter what, I must invite my brother down the mountain.

"This is the mountain!"

Pu Yuan raised his head and looked up. The mountain in front of him was not dangerous, but it was filled with mist, and there were birds neighing faintly, but it was a unique scene.

Since Pu Yuan accepted Liu De's errand, on the one hand, he asked Cui You for the rare ore needed for casting, and also needed a quiet and undisturbed casting place; on the other hand, he ordered his apprentices to start making some preliminary preparations In the end, Pu Yuan left Chang'an with a disciple and headed for the northwest of Zhongzhou. After a month, he finally arrived at the location of his senior brother.

A casting furnace was halfway up the mountain, and thick smoke was still faintly visible. Pu Yuan and his disciples quickly climbed up the mountain.

"Brother!"

At a glance, Pu Yuan saw Ou Yezi standing by the casting furnace and constantly beating the billet with a hammer.

Ou Yezi raised his head, but his face showed surprise. He put down the anvil, picked up a towel beside him and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Why did Junior Brother Pu come here? Aren't you working in the Han court?"

Pu Yuan hurried forward and took the hammer from Ou Yezi's hand, "To tell you the truth, brother, I really came here to ask for something!"

"Go, go and talk!"

Ou Yezi greeted.

At this time, after hearing a voice in the house, a woman in her 30s came out of the house with her child.

Ou Yezi called the woman over and introduced to Pu Yuan, "This is my wife."

Turning his head to his wife and children, he said: "This is Pu Yuan, a certain younger brother. He learned how to forge swords together under his father's hands."

"Meet my sister-in-law!"

Pu Yuan hurriedly said.

The woman smiled, squatted down a little, and then brought the child into the house, and brought out a pot of tea when she came out.

Ou Yezi and Pu Yuan sat on the stone bench outside the house and made tea. Pu Yuan also knew his brother's temperament, so he said directly: "To tell the truth, my brother is now a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry. The Secretary is also quite happy, thinking that in a year or two, he can become a small boss. He thought that this would be the case for the rest of his life, but he was summoned by Duke Han."

After Pu Yuan explained the matter, Ou Yezi frowned slightly, "Junior Brother, you are a little overbearing, 28 treasure-level swords, one year is too short!"

"That's why I'm going to find my elder brother to serve His Highness together, and to forge these 28 swords within one year." Pu Yuan said.

Ou Yezi looked around, but didn't answer for a moment.

When Pu Yuan saw this, he persuaded him: "My elder brother doesn't want to be burdened by the rich and powerful, but Duke Han is different. This world must be owned by Duke Han. To make this world more prosperous, brother, can you deny it?"

Ou Yezi shook his head slowly and said, "I can't."

"So say it!"

Pu Yuan's speech speeded up: "The troubled times are coming to an end, we are old, and we can build a furnace on this lonely mountain to support the rest of our lives, but the younger generation is still young, and the brother also wants to watch the children spend their lives in front of this lonely furnace ?"

"and also!"

Pu Yuan said sincerely: "If brother wants to promote the name of Ou's sword, what's the use of relying on himself, but now there is an opportunity to let everyone in the world know the name of brother!"

Only then did Ou Yezi sigh, and said, "You're right, not only for the reputation of the Ou family, but also for the sake of the young children, I really need to go."

Pu Yuan was overjoyed and drank the tea in one gulp.

Beizhou, the former army commander's garrison camp.

"Handsome."

Zhang Fang hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?"

Bai Qi was a little curious.

Zhang Fang organized the language, and then said: "Marshal, Your Highness requires all the generals of the governors to write a letter about the southern expedition to Yizhou, so as to determine the candidate for the southern expedition leader."

Bai Qi laughed and said: "General Zhang also wants to compete for the candidate for the chief general, but that's okay, after all, we have been in Beizhou for several years, but it's very boring!"

"No, the last general is just curious, why didn't the commander-in-chief write it, if the commander-in-chief wants to fight, who can compete with the commander-in-chief?"

Zhang Fang asked slightly curiously.

"Ha ha."

Bai Qi was not angry, but replied with a smile: "If we want to conquer Shu, the soldiers and horses we can use can only be the soldiers and horses recruited by Xizhou now, but our soldiers and horses in Beizhou cannot be used. Firstly, we need to guard against the Hulu, and secondly, our soldiers and horses are not good at fighting in the south.

Soldiers don't know generals, generals are not familiar with soldiers, how can they accomplish His Highness's great cause of unification, if there is a slight setback, it will be a hundred deaths, not to mention that my old illnesses have often recurred in the past few years, it is no longer what it used to be, so I don't argue up. "

Zhang Fang was a little depressed and unwilling, "The governor of Guan in the south won one big victory after another. When His Highness succeeds, the reward of the governor of Guan will be unmatched. To put it bluntly, the governor of Guan He is really No.1 in the military, at that time, besides you, Commander, who can hold him down!"

To put it bluntly, Zhang Fang still hopes that Bai Qi can win the post of the commander of the Conquest of Shu, because Zhang Fang also wants to mention it. The characters on the.

And what about Zhang Fang?

Generals of the same level as him can't be counted with two hands. Although Zhang Fang boasts of outstanding ability, he also knows that it is impossible for him to win the position of coach.

So Zhang Fang very much hoped that Bai Qi would go to fight, and then he could follow behind to gain some military merits, but Bai Qi did not have the lofty ambition of the past, which made Zhang Fang a little discouraged, and couldn't help resorting to aggressive tactics.

Bai Qi said: "General Zhang, I and Guan Dudu are both serving His Highness, but there is no competition for fame and position. General Zhang, don't say this again in the future, step down!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Fang had no choice but to retreat.

After exiting the tent, he waved his arm angrily, and left cursing.

And Wei Qing, who was far away in Yanzhou, had already written a memorial, bound it, and sent the letter soldiers to Chang'an.

Huo Jun watched the letter soldier go away quickly, and asked with a smile: "Brother's memorial has been written!"

Hearing Huo Jun's laughter, Wei Qing couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Of course it would be the best if you can occupy a place in the Shu army. It's not like you don't know what happened to you in the past few years as a brother."

"Brother is just too kind. No one knows what your brother is capable of, but I do."

Hearing this, Huo Jun couldn't help comforting him, "Brother just lacks a big battle to prove himself."

Wei Qing said: "That's true, but since His Highness was appointed, he hasn't shared much for His Highness. On the contrary, His Highness has been stigmatized for nothing, making others think that His Highness is a nepotism, but it makes Wei feel guilty. Uneasy, afraid of betraying His Highness's trust."

"What does brother say, everyone in Yanzhou admires brother's ability very much!"

Wei Qing just shook his head and smiled wryly without saying a word.

Nearly four months have passed since Kuai Dema arrived in Zhongzhou from Youzhou.

Most of the Chang'an palace and other official residences have been completed, and the whole Han Dynasty is in good weather, and everything is safe, which makes all the officials amazed, saying that this is a sign of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Common people don't think so much, if Liu De can feed them, then Liu De is a saint.

Even if there were dissatisfied powerful families, they kept their mouths shut and sent their nephews and nephews to enter the Han court through imperial examinations, recommendation and other means.

People who have no vision know that the world will sooner or later be owned by the big man, how long can those young people in the south hold on?
lingering
At this time, Liu De was also in the Governor's Mansion, discussing with Zhang Tianlang, Liu Gui and other people in the Governor's Mansion, as well as Dai Zong, the Arch Guard Division, Li Yuanfang, the Xuanjing Division, and others about the documents to be sent to attack Shu.

"Guo Jia in Jiangzhou has done a good job. Lu Congshou's internal affairs are already unstable. His married wife has not appeared for a long time. Either Lu Congshou is under house arrest or has been killed."

Liu De looked at the terrain of Jiangzhou on the map, but praised Guo Jia endlessly.

"If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing, Lu Congshou really screwed up this time. Without Lu Congshou's threat, the attack on Shu this time is much easier."

Liu Gui laughed loudly at the side.
