Wei Cheng recalled many records about the Yellow Turban Army, including the origin and demise of the Baibo Army in Hedong.
If there are no errors in the historical records, in the next month, hundreds of thousands of Baibo troops will advance to the east of Hedong and approach Luoyang.
Historically, it was precisely because Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu could not stop the Baibo Army's offensive that Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an.
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Cheng became enlightened. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Baibo Army was the vanguard of the Dong Alliance!
However, I don’t know who is adding fuel to the flames. Otherwise, how could Guo Tai and his like organize hundreds of thousands of people?
"Second brother, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Wei Cheng was silent all the way, Wei Gong couldn't help but ask. Wei Cheng frowned slightly and said, "After you return, immediately ask someone to investigate the movements of the Baibo Army, especially where they transported the food they grabbed, and where they got their weapons and armor. Yes, these must be investigated strictly." Wei Gong was startled at first, then his eyes widened and he said excitedly: "Second brother, are you going to leave the mountain?" Wei Cheng turned back to look at him and said angrily: "What happened? Mountain, I’m just curious and want to learn more about it.”
"Really?" Wei Gong chuckled, nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go back now. There was news that the Baibo Army was very close to the Huns on both sides of the Fen River. I'll send someone to find out. ." When he heard the word 'Xiongnu', Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he turned around and asked: "Are there many Huns in Hedong?" Wei Gong shook his head uncertainly: "It doesn't seem like there are too many, those people are all The people who migrated south a hundred years ago are no different from me Han people now, but they still retain some customs and customs. Didn't my second brother see them in the early years?" Wei Cheng chuckled and gave a sloppy look. He had seen them before. , I have never seen it.
Wei Gong came and went in a hurry. Hearing that Wei Cheng was interested in Bai Bojun, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go and conduct a thorough investigation. Wei Cheng also wanted to keep him for lunch, but didn't want him to leave as soon as he asked without being able to stop him.
In fact, what Wei Cheng didn't know was. Now the entire Wei family is very concerned about his next 'plan'. The reason why Wei Gong is asked to make a trip every three days is that in addition to wanting to know what Wugenhuo is, Wei Gong also wants Wei Gong to test Wei Cheng's future. Plan to come down.
Wei Cheng inadvertently asked about the Bai Bo Army's movements and logistics and other details. Wei Gong immediately misunderstood that Wei Cheng was going to attack the Bai Bo Army next, so he hurried back.
Of course, Wei Cheng didn't know about the twists and turns of these cheap elders at this time. He was really just asking out of curiosity.
Returning to the shabby room, Wei Cheng had just walked into the yard when he saw Cai Yan sitting at the stone table and staring at a piece of embroidered cloth in a daze.
Wei Cheng smiled knowingly and walked gently behind Cai Yan. He took a look at the pattern on the embroidered cloth and saw two very delicate mandarin ducks. Although it was only a semi-finished product, the needlework and thread were very vivid.
Wei Cheng watched for a while and saw that Cai Yan was still in a daze. He couldn't help but asked with concern: "Yan'er, are you homesick?" Cai Yan was startled by him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Wei Cheng. He blushed and shook his head. He hesitated: "No, I, I..." Wei Cheng smiled and sat across from her, picked up the embroidery cloth, looked at it, and said, "Is Yan'er planning to embroider a sachet?" Cai Yan nodded, The piece of cloth is enough to make a sachet.
Wei Teng smiled and said, "Leave the spices in there to me." Cai Yan seemed to be in a low mood. After nodding slightly, he took the embroidery cloth and continued to fiddle with the needle and thread.
Wei Cheng frowned slightly, sensitively aware of Cai Yan's abnormality. After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Do you know what flowers I want to put in it?" Cai Yan raised his head and glanced at Wei Cheng, his smart eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head blankly. Every day, he was thinking about why Wei Cheng suddenly wanted to make those gold objects. His mind was filled with thoughts of Wei Cheng wanting to take a concubine, and he couldn't stop at all.
Wei Cheng looked at her distressedly and said, "I'm going to put sunflowers in it. Do you know what the flower language of sunflowers is?" Cai Yan was stunned. Do flowers still have flower language?
And, what is a sunflower? Wei Cheng reached out and touched her head gently and said: "You should know the legend of Kuafu chasing the sun, but you must not know that there is a kind of flower in this world called sunflower, and they chase the sun all their lives... ..." Wei Cheng told several ancient Greek love stories about sunflowers, and Cai Yan's eyes sparkled as he listened.
"Husband, are there really such infatuated flowers in this world?" Cai Yan looked at the warm sun in the sky with longing.
Wei Cheng smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, if you like, I can plant sunflowers in front of and behind the slope for you. How about that?" Cai Yan stared at Wei Cheng in front of him, tears in his eyes. It slipped down unsatisfactorily.
Wei Cheng walked up behind her, held her tightly in his arms, and asked curiously: "Yan'er, what's wrong with you these days? Why do you always look so depressed?" Cai Yan pursed her lips and said stubbornly. Shaked his head.
Wei Cheng was helpless and could only console him: "You can tell me if you have anything, and I will do my best to help you. Just like the sunflower that always looks at the sun, I will always be there for you." Looking at you." This sentence directly hit Cai Yan's weak heart. Looking up at Wei Cheng, Cai Yan asked foolishly: "Husband, do you dislike Yan'er? Do you think Yan'er is old? Do you want to take a concubine?" Wei Cheng was stunned and said quickly: "What kind of logic are you talking about? I have never disliked you." Cai Yan pressed his forehead against Wei Cheng's chest and said in a choked voice: "Then why has my husband never touched me? Now he not only sleeps in a separate room with me, but also has people make goldware for marriage... It must be that I am not good enough for my husband... to want to marry another beautiful wife." Wei Chengyi He looked embarrassed, but he didn't expect that his gentlemanly behavior turned out to be alienation in the eyes of Cai Yan, and his behavior of ordering someone to forge gold tools was misunderstood by her as a signal to marry a concubine.
Seeing Cai Yan crying so hard, Wei Cheng hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to sleep with you, it's just... Look, Yu'er is still here, at least wait until the house down the mountain is repaired. Let her stay in the guest room, so that she won't keep occupying my Yan'er." Cai Yan's eyes were almost blurred. He raised his head and looked at Wei Cheng infatuatedly. It took him a long time before his tears turned into a smile.
"What kind of occupation? My husband said something I couldn't understand." Seeing that she was in a better mood, Wei Cheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said, "It's true. If she hadn't occupied my position, I would have I just sneaked into your room without giving you a chance to think wildly."
"Well, my husband is really... I'm ignoring you." Cai Yan's face turned red, she pushed Wei Cheng away and hurriedly ran into the house.
Wei Cheng had a question mark on his face, did I say something wrong? ···Youzhou. Gongsun Zan was not in a very good mood these days. In order to protect the country and the people, Liu Yu actually sent envoys to trade with the Huns.
This was an unreasonable and ridiculous decision in Gongsun Zan's opinion. They had obviously won the battle, so why didn't they pursue the victory and pursue it, but instead shake hands with the enemy and make peace at this time?
Gongsun Zan was not murderous, but felt that Liu Yu was using another method to deprive him of the power and status he had gained with his life.
If there is no war on the border, then sooner or later the troops and horses in his hands will be taken back by the imperial court. By then, he will be just a general in name only, and how can he be as majestic as he wants to be.
Therefore, Gongsun Zan was in a bad mood and looked for people to drink with him. On this day, he made an appointment with the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang to go hunting in the mountains. Seeing that autumn was about to come, the wild beasts in the mountains came out to forage one after another, hoarding a thick layer of fat for hibernation. This immediately gave the hunters an advantage, and they often entered the mountains. Every trip to the mountain is always rewarding.
Gongsun Zan and his party were no exception. They shot a few stags and were walking back talking and laughing. Everyone passed by a small mountain village, where there were traveling merchants soliciting business.
The businessman was followed by several guards, and this time the villagers were listening to the guards tell some interesting anecdotes on the road.
Gongsun Zan and his party entered the village, and the village leader warmly greeted the villagers to prepare hot soup. The traveling merchant saluted Gongsun Zan from afar, with the Wei family brand on his waist extremely eye-catching.
Gongsun Zan cupped his fists and returned the salute without paying much attention. While everyone was sitting on the floor, drinking hot soup and taking a rest, a few children playing nearby sang: "The supreme king of martial arts, slaying dragons with precious swords, commands the world. No one dares to disobey, and relies on the sky to stay alive. Who can compete with me... Look at my slaying." "Dragon sword, kill!" The border people are good at martial arts. Children usually play in small ways. The stick in their hand is used as a spear, and the branches picked at random are used as machetes. They have a lot of fun. .
Gongsun Zan frowned. The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang next to them also had different expressions. Liu Bei asked the child with a kind face: "Who told you to sing the ditty?" The child pointed to the traveling merchant and said, "The uncle who holds the bow and arrow taught it." Gongsun Zan and others looked at each other, Zhang Fei said: "It's interesting, the supreme martial arts master, the sword that slays the dragon. If there is such a magic weapon in this world, only the second brother can make it, hahaha." Guan Yu frowned slightly and glanced sideways at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly. Laughing, he lowered his head and pretended to adjust his leggings.
Gongsun Zan glanced at Guan Yu and suddenly said with a smile: "Meng Dezhi's words reminded me that Brother Yun doesn't seem to have a handy weapon. I don't know what kind of skills Brother Yun is good at. I'll make someone tailor-made for you later." How about forging one?" Guan Yu shook his head lightly and said, "My lord, I took it in my heart. There is no difference between good and bad weapons. I have a horse spear that is enough." As soon as he finished speaking, a rich middle-aged man came over.
This person was the traveling merchant of the Wei family. He cupped his fists and saluted Gongsun Zan, and said with a smile: "This strong man is wrong. He has a good magic weapon. He can not only go into battle to kill the enemy, but also display his extraordinary abilities." The strength of a strong man is 10%. The strong man should ask himself, if an ordinary horse can withstand a strong blow from a strong man?" Guan Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Wei family merchant, and said disdainfully: "For a certain person, this world's most powerful weapon They are all just average, not as strong and durable as a pair of fists, so don’t forget about it.” The traveling merchant laughed loudly and said, “No, no, the strong man talks like this, I’m afraid he has never seen a real magic weapon, the sword is The king of hundreds of soldiers, the sword is the courage of hundreds of soldiers, and the halberd is the hegemony of hundreds of soldiers. I once heard that General Gongsun had a two-edged spear in his hand, which can break gold and stone, and can penetrate hundreds of armors without any obstruction. Twenty-six kilograms, more than ten feet long, an ordinary horse or a spear can't hit an enemy, which makes him famous as the White Horse General." Gongsun Zan nodded proudly, laughed and said: "That's right, I didn't expect Manager Wei to be so well-informed. You Shang saluted Gongsun Zan with his fists raised, and then said to Guan Yu: "The physique of a strong man is different from ordinary people. If you can have a magic weapon to help you, you will be able to kill the enemy in battle with twice the result with half the effort, right?" Guan Yu's already red cheeks became even redder. He blushed a little and said angrily: "Even so, I can't afford so much iron. If you want to build it at will, I don't want it." Liu Bei looked ashamed. He had a lot to do with the situation the three of them were in today. Relationship, and iron as the best weapon-making material, its value is far beyond what he can afford now. Even if he wants to make weapons for his second and third brothers, he is powerless at this time.
At this time, the traveling merchant twisted his beard and smiled, and said leisurely: "I, the Wei family, have collected 12 pieces of earthly evil weapons, including swords, guns, sticks, bows, crossbows, axes and hammers. There is a gun named Gentian Liangyin, which weighs sixty-eight kilograms." , there is a sword named Tulong, which weighs fifty-four kilograms, and there is also a sun-chasing bow, which can freely adjust the bow power. The minimum bow is six stones, and the maximum can be sixteen stones. Those who are not born with supernatural power cannot fully draw the bow string."
"This..." Guan Yu's expression changed, and his eyes flickered. Gongsun Zan next to him frowned and said: "Guan Wei, you are exaggerating to some extent. Let's not talk about whether there is such a magic weapon. It is a gun weighing more than sixty kilograms and a knife weighing more than fifty kilograms. Ordinary people can lift it. If you can't get up, how can you go into battle to kill the enemy? Besides, most people can't draw the sun-chasing bow with six stones, and it's even more unbelievable if it takes sixteen stones." Hearing this, You Shang was not annoyed, but looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei The two of them smiled and said: "General, do you really think so? Wei doesn't agree. I think these two warriors are extraordinary. I guess they only weigh a few dozen kilograms, which is nothing to them." Guan Yu muttered. Eyes without words.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was very moved and asked: "Your Wei family really has such a magic weapon, but why do you tell people everywhere, are you so poor that you sell family heirlooms?" Others also woke up from a dream, yes, It's all right. Why is Mrs. Wei telling people this everywhere?
Hearing this, the traveling merchant burst into laughter and said, "To tell you the truth, there are indeed magic weapons and valuable weapons, but the head of the family has said that magic weapons are valuable to those who are destined to get them. If you can be recognized by the magic weapons, I, the Wei family, will not take any money from you." So what if I give it to you!"
"Send it off?" Zhang Fei exclaimed in surprise. Guan Yu also frowned. Youshang nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. When I came out, the head of the family gave special instructions. The evil spirit of the earth is too powerful and violent, so we must find a destined person as soon as possible. If not, I wouldn't have hurried over to chat when I saw you two. Yes, I think you two are very likely to be recognized by the divine soldiers, hehehe." Zhang Fei licked his dry lips and couldn't help but look at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was still frowning at this time, not knowing what he was thinking. But Liu Bei suddenly asked: "This steward, do you know if there are any additional conditions for the magic weapon to recognize its master?" Youshang was stunned, but the head of the family didn't tell them, he just asked them to spread the news about the magic weapon.
After thinking about it, he twirled his beard and said: "Since it is obtained by those who are destined, there are no restrictions. It is nothing more than forming a good relationship with my Wei family. It is not so difficult to accept after thinking about it." Zhang Fei heard this. Overjoyed, he looked at Liu Bei and Guan Yu,
"Big brother, second brother, let's go try it!"
