In the past, King Zhao of Yan bought horse bones for a thousand pieces of gold and recruited talented people, which made the Yan Kingdom prosperous for a while.
King Zhao of Yan could do this, so why couldn't Zhou Yi do the same.
What's more, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai really helped him handle a lot of things well during their stay in Yongzhou, so Zhou Yi would not treat them badly.
Originally, Zhou Yi prepared five cartloads of gifts and treasures for Liang Shanbo and his wife, but when they left, Liang Shanbo and his wife only accepted three cartloads of gifts.
One cart contains soft gold and silver, one cart contains potatoes, dried beef and other Yongzhou specialties. The other cart contains various ancient book series that Liang Shanbo likes. Of course, there is Liang Shanbo's favorite novel - "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" among them.
On this day, Zhou Yi brought many civil servants and military generals from Yongzhou to bid farewell to Liang Shanbo and his wife.
There are no long pavilions or ancient roads here in Yongzhou, and there are no willows folded under the Ba Bridge. There is only endless wilderness.
After sending him off for fifty miles, Liang Shanbo in the carriage stuck out his head and said with tears in his eyes: "General, stay here. We must say goodbye after seeing you for thousands of miles. Don't see me off again!".
Zhou Yi, who was riding a tall maroon horse, imitated Liu Bei's approach of sending Xu Shu off, and said calmly: "Shan Bo, please allow me to send him off one more mile!"
Liang Shanbo had no choice but to look up at Zhou Yi, trying not to let tears fall from his eyes.
In this way, Zhou Yi sent him one mile after another. After sending him 20 miles in a row, Liang Shanbo in the car was moved to tears.
Zhu Yingtai, who was beside him, stroked her husband's back gently and said, "General Zhou is really like Uncle Liu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that my husband loves to watch. He is humble and kind, and he is a wise master."
Liang Shanbo wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeves and said with choked sobs: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was entirely fabricated by General Zhou to open up wisdom. How could there be so many sages and heroes in ancient times! Uncle Liu Huang is a fictional character in the book , but General Zhou is truly a virtuous king and holy master."
Zhu Yingtai nodded in agreement.
"Madam, if my father had not been seriously ill, I would not have..." At this point, Liang Shanbo stopped talking.
At this time, they happened to be traveling to a lush forest. Zhou Yi looked at the lush forest and thought to himself: "Damn it, this forest is so beautiful! Whether it's making feather arrows or eight oxen crossbows, it's all right. Yes, but if not, you must cut down this forest and turn it into your own strategic materials."
Just when Zhou Yi was thinking about it, Liang Shanbo stopped his carriage and got off the carriage with his wife.
Zhou Yi was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Shan Bo, why did you stop the carriage?"
Liang Shanbo and his wife bowed down directly in front of Zhou Yi's horse.
Zhou Yi also quickly dismounted and helped the two of them up.
"What a worthy couple! Please get up quickly! Please get up quickly!"
Liang Shanbo's cheeks were faintly stained with tears, and his eyes were red and he said to Zhou Yi: "Shanbo will never forget the kindness of the general. Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. In order to fulfill his filial piety, Shanbo can only abandon the general..."
Zhou Yi held Liang Shanbo's hands tightly with both hands and found that his hands were cold, so he quickly put his brocade robe and cloak on him.
"Shanbo is weak. It's cold and damp now in the middle of winter. Shanbo and you two should get into the carriage."
"General, how can Shanbo be so virtuous that he can send General you seventy or eighty miles away? You also said that the winter is cold and humid now, and you are one of the millions of people in Yongzhou. At the beginning of spring, you will counterattack the Huns. If it is because of the mountain If I am sick, then I will be a sinner forever."
With that said, Liang Shanbo wanted to return the brocade robe given to him by Zhou Yi to Zhou Yi.
"Shan Bo, you and I are close friends. I have nothing to give as a gift. Although this brocade robe and cloak has been with me for a short time, I want to give it to you as a thought."
Liang Shanbo wanted to refuse, but was stopped by his wife.
Zhu Yingtai said calmly: "The general is a gift of great love, and your husband must not refuse it."
"General, you must also consider Shanbo and the people of Yongzhou. Take care of your health and stay here. Don't let us, husband and wife, be infected with the cold, otherwise we may feel uneasy!"
Zhou Yi pulled Liang Shanbo and led him to the carriage, saying: "Okay, okay, virtuous couple, I won't see you two off anymore."
"Take care along the way. Yongzhou is your second hometown. If you have time in the future, you must come back and visit us."
After putting Liang Shanbo and his wife on the carriage, Zhou Yi stared at the forest in front of him for a long time, thinking about a question in his mind: "To chop or not to chop?"
But this scene was seen by Liang Shanbo, who was lying in front of the carriage window and looking back at Zhou Yi. Liang Shanbo couldn't bear it and huddled into the carriage and cried like a child.
At this time, a strong wind blew up, blowing up waves of dust and sand, which made Zhou Yi's eyes full of tears.
"Come here, chop down all this forest and send it back to the ordnance station to make eight-oxen crossbows and feather arrows!" Zhou Yi said while wiping his eyes that were confused by the wind and sand.
This scene was seen by Jiang Yunsheng and others who came to see him off. Jiang Yunsheng had also read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" since he came to Yongzhou. Like Liang Shanbo, he thought that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was compiled by Zhou Yi himself. Open Wisely, and Uncle Liu Huang in it is simply a true reflection of himself in Zhou Yi.
Now Zhou Yi ordered his men to cut down the lush forest in front of them. Although it was stated that they were going to pull these trees back to make eight-oxen crossbows and feather arrows, in fact it was like Liu Bei sending Xu Shu and his eyes were covered by the peach forest. Extremely annoyed.
It was precisely with this kind of thinking that Jiang Yunsheng and other civil servants and generals felt that Zhou Yi was a person who valued emotions and was worthy of following him for life.
Now that Zhou Yi was the military and political leader of Yongzhou, with just one general order, the forest that had grown for decades was cut down by Zhou Yi's soldiers in an instant.
Zhou Yi didn't know whether his behavior would attract the abuse of extreme environmentalists in later generations. Zhou Yi didn't care about future generations. Anyway, when he died, he didn't care about the flood!
The top priority now is to make more eight-oxen crossbows and feather arrows.
Winter is here, is spring still far behind?
Spring is here, and it’s time for the Yongzhou army to fight against the Xiongnu! Now it is not an exaggeration to prepare for the Zhouyi.
At the same time, Wang Dachui sent people to the Dayuan Kingdom in the Western Regions with gold worth five million taels.
The person who went to Dawan as an envoy to purchase horses this time was Zhang Huogen, who could speak Khitan.
Zhang Huogen originally thought that when he brought money to buy horses, the King of Dayuan would definitely sell the horses to him at the market price, but he never thought that after the King of Dayuan accepted Zhang Huogen's gold, not only did he not give the horses to him, Instead, he sent people to hunt him down.
If the introducer from Dawan had not taken advantage of Zhang Huogen and tipped him off in advance, Zhang Huogen and others would probably have died in Dawan.
