Han You finally entered the city and entered Youzhou.
Including him, a group of friends were in a daze.
They guessed some things.
In some cases, their thoughts are completely different from the actual situation.
As you can guess, it is not the eighth prince Zhou Yong who has the final say in Youzhou, but the aristocratic family. The Pang family in the aristocratic family has the final say. The Pang family has the final say. Pang Pan has the final say. In other words, this city belongs to Pang Pan. The final say.
What I didn't expect was that Pang Pan was a hawk. He wanted to attack the Japanese thieves, boat masters, and three officials with one word: die, kill them all, kill them all, and then it would be over.
As the boss, the second, and the third chatted with the sullen Xiaoba, they learned more information.
It turns out that Xiaoba was "controlled" after he arrived at the fiefdom. Xiaoba had just arrived in Youzhou and before he entered the palace, Pang Pan came and said like an uncle that he wanted to be the teacher of His Highness the King of Han. From now on, the King of Han will Just be taught by him.
Then Pang Pan began to teach, mainly teaching three things.
The first thing is, your highness, you have to treat the people well. Why treat the people well? Because you want to win the hearts of the people. Why do you want to win the hearts of the people? Because the people of your highness's fiefdom will become warriors in the future. Why should you become warriors? , because I will fight Japanese thieves in the future.
The second thing is, your highness, you have to save money. Why do you save money? Buy armor and weapons. Why do you want to buy armor and weapons? Because you will fight Japanese thieves in the future.
The third thing is, Your Highness, please stop reading the Four Books and Five Classics. Instead, read the Art of War. Why should you read the Art of War? Because you will fight against the Japanese in the future.
So the three things are actually the Qian Ying people, killing all the Ying thieves, and destroying the Ying Island.
After entering Youzhou, Han You opened his mouth wide again.
Don’t talk about whether Youzhou is rich or not, let’s talk about every household.
It can be said that from entering the city to the palace, every household along the way can see war horses, swords, and even more exaggeratedly, large crossbows.
In addition, every household seems to be stocking grain. The courtyard walls are not high and shabby, but you can see a large amount of grain piled inside, which is not the "amount" that a normal family should buy.
When Han You asked, he found out that what the Pang family requested was not bought by the common people, but was given by the Pang family, because it only had two words: "Prepare for war."
The more he got to know Youzhou and the Pang family, the more Han You found the old man Pang Pan to be pleasing to his eyes.
Youzhou is an extremely exclusive town. After all, it is the prince's fiefdom and has various privileges.
The Pang family used these privileges to turn Youzhou into a "military city". Almost every household has young men. In addition to farming, these young men also need to receive training in the military camp, how to ride a horse, how to draw a bow, and how to defend the city. , how to fight and so on.
Youzhou is not only an exclusive town, but also an extremely cohesive town.
The reason why they are united is precisely because of "hate". They have always said that the Pang family treats the people well and accepts refugees, etc. In fact, they accept those poor people who were displaced in the war, or whose relatives were killed by Japanese thieves.
Pang Pan knew that sooner or later there would be a war. Either the Japanese bandit Langzi was ambitious to plot the three ways of the East China Sea and conspired with the boat masters and local aristocratic families to rebel, or the imperial court sent a large army to completely control the East China Sea. Once it reached this point, it would still start a war with Yingdao.
Therefore, no matter what situation occurs, the three roads of the East China Sea will be plunged into war. Whether the Japanese thieves fight out or the imperial army moves in, Youzhou is the place that must pass through.
It's just that Pang Pan didn't expect that the imperial court would make up its mind so early. He thought that it would take at least seven or eight years for the capital to make up its mind. Seven or eight years were said less, and the old man always felt that he would never see the imperial court in his lifetime. He had "recovered" the East China Sea, and whether he could see it or not, he had been making preparations.
When I saw Han You coming with only 7,000 cavalry, I thought that the imperial court was just sending an emperor's personal army to rectify the boat division. I may not be able to understand the rectification. Who knew that the "appetite" of the imperial court was so big, and the boat division and the aristocratic family were just side dishes. That’s all.
Han You and Pang Pan began to exchange information. After the latter spoke, the former began to talk about the layout and arrangements of the court and so on.
The old man became more and more excited as he listened. When he arrived at the palace, he burst out laughing. He quickly asked his children to arrange a funeral for him and notify the various aristocratic families of his death.
Han You and Pang Pan were sneaking around in the main hall, and the four brothers also chatted in the garden.
Zhou Xiao looked at Xiaoba, who had only reached his waist, and was speechless: "How come the older you get, the more cowardly you are? Why don't you dare to fight the Japanese thief?"
"It's not that I don't dare, it's that I don't want to."
Xiaoba's face drooped: "You can't win, so why bother."
Zhou Xiao was speechless. Maybe most people in Donghai think so. No, it should be said that almost all people in Donghai think so. Even Pang Pan, who is so radical, is like this. But the old man is different. , We have to fight even if we can't win. We must defeat the ambition of the thieves and the arrogance of these beasts. Only by fighting can our bones become stronger. Fighting is not to win, but just to stop being bullied any more!
Zhou Ben said strangely: "It's been more than a year, and Youzhou is not far away. How come I haven't seen my third brother for so long?"
"Sir said..."
Xiaoba hesitated for a moment and lowered his head: "The teacher told me to stay away from Third Brother. Third Brother is the eagle dog of Lanshan Academy. Third Brother, you are considered useless. If I get close to you, sooner or later you will be beaten by you." Get killed.”
Zhou Ben yelled: "How dare this old man provoke my brother Tian..."
Zhou Yi kicked Zhou Ben two meters away: "Is that right?"
Zhou Ben rubbed his butt and did not dare to say anything.
Zhou Xiao suddenly said: "It turns out that this is why my father built your eighth brother's fiefdom in Youzhou."
Xiao Ba nodded and said bitterly: "Because the Pang family is in Youzhou, because my father knows my husband's ambitions, and because my father knows that the Pang family is in Youzhou, the Pang family will definitely not let any ghosts and ghosts enchant me. .”
Lao Sanzhou Ben started to get upset again. He felt that Lao Ba was very partial. Why didn't he get Youzhou for him? If his fiefdom was in Youzhou, he would never be like this. He could kick people or ghosts. Stand on your own two feet.
Now let alone his second and eldest brother, Lu Baichuan and others didn't look at him well, they were wary of him as if they were guarding against thieves.
It was a rare time for the four brothers to get together, and they should have endless things to talk about, but because of the Japanese thief incident, they didn't know what to talk about or how to reminisce about the past.
The two brothers, Zhou Xiao and Zhou Tong, the eldest and second brother, must have followed Han Youyan's advice, and they were fighting in the first place.
The third child, he has a criminal record and a criminal record.
As for the fourth child, he is the youngest. Although he has no criminal record, he is quite cowardly. Let alone being cowardly. He has no independent opinions. After arriving in the fiefdom, he became a puppet of the Pang family and Pang Pan. He did not have a penny in fiefdom tax money. After touching it, Pang Pan used it to buy weapons and food.
After being silent for a long time, Xiaoba said weakly: "Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, I want to go to the capital to find my father. I don't want to fight, is that okay?"
"Then why did you write to my father that you wanted to find a job?"
"A few days ago, there was a lot of buzz about the imperial court's alliance with Goguryeo. Although many people don't believe that there is going to be a war on Yingdao, I feel that I would rather believe it than believe it. I think that if there is a war, I will stay away. Far."
When the three brothers heard this, they understood a little bit why they had misunderstood "Pang Pan" just now.
The old man said so much, but he was actually trying to convince Xiaoba.
Thinking of this, the three brothers also felt that the old man was quite miserable.
Xiaoba is obviously a prince, and he can use his status as a prince to plant a flag in the East China Sea to establish connections and influence belonging to the prince. However, His Highness the King of Han is too cowardly, like a helpless Adou.
At this moment, Han You walked out of the Moon Gate with a smile on his face.
"Lao Pang is a real person."
Han You said with emotion: "Youzhou City alone can gather 15,000 young men. Regardless of their fighting strength, I only say that once I encounter a Japanese thief, I will bite a bite of flesh from the Japanese thief. The Pang family has been mobilizing for so many years, mobilizing before war, preparing, preparing, always preparing. Once the army comes, Youzhou can become an outpost for the three routes of the East China Sea. There are people, food and grass, and more fighting spirit. .”
What is a surprise? This is called a surprise. This is called a surprise.
Han You really didn't expect that when he arrived at the first stop in the East China Sea, he would meet someone from the same camp.
What really surprises Han You is that not all the aristocratic families in the Three East China Sea are facing Zhoushi and Yingdao. There are also many real aristocratic families who hate the Yingdao to the core. However, the environment is like this, and it is difficult to stand alone.
The friends walked into the garden one after another and began to discuss what to do next.
In the end, everyone decided to work separately. Han You and his group temporarily left Youzhou and went to the Tongcheng Marine Division camp to meet with Cao Zhihu, the deputy commander in charge of Dongyun Dao Marine Division.
As for Youzhou, Han You will leave two thousand cavalry to cooperate with the Pang family.
At that time, how many aristocratic families can be deceived, slaughtered and captured, and then Youzhou will become Han You and the imperial army's rear support after they enter the Three Roads of the East China Sea. Food, grass, weapons, etc. will all be gathered from all the capitals in the world. Here it is.
It is worth mentioning that Pang Pan was quite thoughtful. He insisted on following Han You as a hostage, saying that Han You trusted others too easily. If the Pang family played tricks on him, he would feel more at ease with a hostage by his side.
Han You didn't think that Pang Pan was taken hostage because of the trust issues between the two parties. The old man probably just wanted to follow everyone and kill people.
