Yang Yi
Zhao Yun also scratched his head after hearing Yang Yi. Everyone knew that Yang Yi was impatient, narrow-tempered, difficult to get along with, and had disputes with Jiang Wan.
Initially, he was the chief clerk of Fu Qun, the governor of Jingzhou. Later, he defected to Guan Yu, Guan's second brother, and served as a meritorious officer. Later he was sent to Chengdu, where he was highly praised by Liu Paopao and promoted to minister.
Later, because of a disagreement with Shangshu Ling Liu Ba, he was transferred to Hongnong Prefecture. Later, he served as Prime Minister and joined the army, and has been fighting with Zhuge Liang ever since. Liang Zu, he arranged for a safe retreat. Zhuge Liang appointed Jiang Wan as his successor during his lifetime, and Yang Yi only paid homage to the Central Military Advisor. In the 13th year of Jianxing (235 years), he was dismissed from his post and exiled to Hanjia County because of many complaints. But Yang Yi still did not reflect on himself, and wrote a slanderous letter with fierce words. Finally, Yang Yi was imprisoned and committed suicide.
Yang Yi
Zhao Yun felt that he was much worse than Jiang Wan. Although Jiang Wan's identity was a bit special, Jiang Wan's teacher was Pang Degong. Everyone knew that Zhuge Liang's father-in-law and Huang Yueying's father supported Liu Paopao a lot. In the end, Due to the conflict of interests between Shu and Wu, he came out to stop Liu Paopao's army.
"Yang Yi is capable, but his character is worse than Jiang Wan's. It's a pity."
Wei Yan bared his teeth and snorted coldly: "Humph, let's do that. I don't know if the Lord will recruit him."
"Based on my lord's character, Yun thinks that 80% of the time he won't be able to do it in the early stage, and maybe in the later stage, but he may not be reused."
Li Mingda's character Wei Yan naturally knew that since he had been lurking in the Tai Chi Palace for so long, plus getting along with Li Mingda when he was the commander of the Forbidden Palace at night, Yang Yi would be beaten to death by His Majesty the Holy Emperor Ming Zun if he came out like this. , What His Majesty the Mingzun Holy Emperor hates the most is this kind of troublemaker.
"I think the lord might whip him."
"I think so too"
Hahaha
Hahaha
The two reached a rare consensus and smiled at each other.
The conversation was almost over, and the two of them went to rest for a while. Since their wives were not here at night, they stayed together to have dinner and drink some wine. Because they held important positions, Wei Yan had not drunk a drop of wine before Zhao Yun came. Now that Zhao Yun is here, , with a group of Holy Knights from the Tang Dynasty, his pressure was suddenly reduced a lot.
Bamboo charcoal brought from the land of Sichuan and Sichuan in the Tang Dynasty was placed on the central floor of the hall, and a grill was set up. A whole sheep was cleaned, marinated with spices, and hung on it.
The revolving grill invented by His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun has a long handle, and the attendants on the side are brushing oil while slowly rotating it. As the charcoal fire grills, the skin of the mutton becomes dry and yellow, which is very popular in desert areas. The sheep are not very fat, and a small amount of fat slowly seeps out with the high temperature, giving off a special fragrance.
There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert. Although Zhao Yun and Wei Yan did not care about these temperatures, they still sat around the charcoal fire, feeling the warmth of the charcoal fire and smelling the aroma of the meat.
This kind of roasted mutton is grilled and eaten at the same time. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan both have military backgrounds and are accustomed to doing it themselves. Each of them has a sharp knife and can eat the part they want.
The two of them have very good drinking capacity. Drinking less is not a problem. They also have strong self-control. Each of them has a bottle of wine and does not drink more.
Wei Yan wiped the remaining wine on his beard, and the white wine brewed from pure grains gave off a special smell: "What a good wine. The Zuimeng and Bainiang given by the lord are much better than our previous wines." "
Zhao Yun's strength has improved greatly now, and these drinks are almost as good as cold drinks to him.
"The Zui Meng Baijiu rewarded by my lord is indeed a delicacy in the world. According to His Majesty, if the alcohol content exceeds 60 degrees, you will not have the feeling of drinking. Forty or fifty degrees is just right."
"Well, I agree with this statement, but the members of those tribes still think that high is delicious. Some people have secretly drank the alcohol used for medical treatment."
Alcohol is naturally available here. Li Mingda has purified it several times. The quantity is not too much. It is mainly given to front-line combat personnel to clean their wounds. It is strictly forbidden to drink secretly. If it is found to be serious, among the border troops, There are always some unbelievers in the troops recruited by the tribe who like to make trouble, or who want to try it. Naturally, they drink it secretly.
As you can imagine, if you are over 90 years old, your favorite water of life is even more powerful. The disinfectant is a life-saving thing. Li Mingda is purified from grain wine, so it is naturally drinkable. Dilute it and it will be high. The wine looks the same, so some children can’t help it.
Wei Yan has naturally been caught here. As a military leader, he has always been strict. In addition, Mingzun Saint Emperor Li Mingda strictly prohibited theft of drinking water, so he will naturally be severely punished.
The five military sticks were raised to 15, and then they were put in the solitary room for five days. After these guys came out, they were all depressed and no longer called themselves men who were fearless. The remaining punishments include demotion, military merit deductions, etc. wait.
The military of the Tang Dynasty was strict with its gentlemen, and rewards and punishments were clearly not a joke. Wei Yan was the commander of the forbidden army of Emperor Mingzun Li Mingda. Even if the army here in the Western Regions wanted to be tough, no one dared to say anything.
Wei Yan has actually sorted out the Western Regions. Zhao Yun came over and helped Wei Yan a big favor, that is, His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun continuously dispatched generals to the Western Regions. This is no joke. The only way to attack a certain place is to use troops.
When the Tang Dynasty wanted to take action, the soldiers were naturally very happy. The surrounding tribes dared to become small places in the country. If it weren't for the problems of desert and water sources, and the inconvenience of supplies here, Just beat them down.
Military merit
You have to know that Tibet did not. They barely participated. They only took a defensive posture in the northwest. Their military merits were much less than those of front-line combatants. How could they let go of such an opportunity?
Wei Yan knew the mentality of the soldiers below. He also followed this idea and worked with Zhao Yun to sort out the ideological problems of the army and remove all the thorns.
Although Zhao Yun has a good temper, after following Li Mingda for a long time, he has also undergone some special changes in his thinking. For example, he might have used a slightly gentler approach to deal with these thorns before, but now he is very direct and shovels them away. Ping spared no effort at all.
"Zilong, do you think my lord can endure it for two years?"
"Two years should be enough. My lord has not been idle in the past two years. Three super iron mines have been developed here in the Tang Dynasty, which is enough for the Tang Dynasty to use for hundreds of years. Your Majesty is now thinking of ways to build an iron mine from Luoyang to us. Trains are used to transport supplies and mobilize troops. As long as they are completed, the entire West will be in your Majesty's hands."
Wei Yan, who was holding the wine glass, looked towards the west and nodded: "Zilong, leave those battles in the future to us."
