Chapter 25 Victory and Defeat
?
cpa300_4; I just received the editor's notification and I am so excited to be on the shelves tomorrow, and I will update three times today!
Yuwen Wen had already explained the situation of Shi Wansui, a future general who was taken under his command, in detail. The other party was surprised to learn that this army that had performed amazingly in the decisive battle, all of them had only been trained for more than four months.
Shi Wansui has never heard of the army under the general who is so highly trained, let alone the average monthly salary, clothes, shoes and socks.
A few years ago, when he followed the main force of the Zhou army to attack Northern Qi, some soldiers were even barefoot. Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, who was in charge of the army, saw the tragic situation of the soldiers and even took off the boots he was wearing and gave them to the soldiers.
Yuwen Wen agreed with Shi Wansui's concerns but made up his mind: "Brother Shi, don't worry, all he wants is to give these guys a head-on blow. It's better to cry on the competition than to lose his life on the battlefield."
After the war, Yuwen Wen asked Shi Wansui to take more than 200 cavalry skilled among the prisoners, including Shi Wansui's old subordinates and new "budies" who were cut off and replaced by the army. The 100 scumbag prisoners were all veterans who had been experienced in battle. They were all good at archery, melee and hand-to-hand combat.
The personal bravery in the army is not obvious, but it is most appropriate to fight alone now. Yuwen Wen wants them to be a whetstone to slap the arrogance of his soldiers.
After discussing, Yuwen Wen called the military leader Chen Wudi and the masters of the city announced in public: Instead of feeding mosquitoes by the river, it is better to come to compete.
"The competition opponent is the more than 400 new prisoners. Uh, comrades, the competition method is very simple, step shooting, riding shooting, swordsmanship, and hand-to-hand combat. Everyone should watch during the competition!"
After the news came out, Sima Zheng Wanqing, the general manager, said that he was not interested in this boring competition and led other defenders to urge the prisoners to build the floating bridge. However, the new army's stinging men were excited. They felt that being a guard was boring and could find someone to practice. Besides, what's the matter with the other party being just a defeated general?
The step shooting competition is made by Tian Zhengyue, the main archer tower. Hao Dadan chose the "master" in the tower. Hao Dadan pressed the formation. The rule is to shoot the moving target.
The cavalry tournament is played by Yuwen Shiwu, the master of the cavalry tower, who chooses the master in the tower. He himself is to ride a horse and shoot a moving target.
The sword technique is made by Chen Midou, the chief of the Long Sword Soldiers, and Tian Xiaoqi chooses the "master" in the team, and the team leader Yang Ji, who uses a wooden knife to lose if he is hit first.
The masters of each sprite are selected by the masters of each sprite. The masters of the sprite are one of the sprites to suppress the formation. The rule is that whoever is pressed on the ground cannot get up will lose.
So Yuwen Wen's competition opened in a burgeoning manner, and most of his "masters" knelt down.
In the archery competition, the new soldiers practiced archery skills for more than four months, but they still couldn't compare with the veterans. If they shot a fixed target, they could be comparable to those of them, but if they shot a mobile target, they would be completely exposed. The masters of the bus Tian Zhengyue and Hao Dadan were also considered veterans who performed well and were defeated.
Similarly, the cavalry under Yuwen Shiwu also showed signs when they were riding and shooting and moving targets. Most of them started practicing horse riding and archery in February. Although they practiced hard day and night, they were a little immature and were not opponents of those skilled veterans.
"I want to fight one-on-one!" Yuwen Shiwu, who defeated more than ten veterans in succession, was extremely unhappy when he saw his subordinates losing and said he wanted to fight Shi Wansui. Although he had never been on the battlefield before, he was a child, he could also be called a 'master' of bow and horses, so he wanted to kill the new comrades.
The rules are also very simple: each person has ten arrows, which shocks people from the wild ducks by the river and shoot them. Those who shoot more than the wild ducks before they fly, win, and compare the speed of fire and accurate head.
Then Yuwen Shiwu was taught by Shi Wansui: both of them shot five arrows, but they were all arrows that were not lost. However, each arrow of Shi Wansui shot the head of a wild duck, and Yuwen Shiwu mostly shot on his body.
The new soldiers were a little depressed after losing two consecutive games, but the swordsmanship competition was won back by Yang Ji's long sword masters: the twenty-somethings and sixteen people won.
The new veterans are used to using swords and shields, but they are still not new recruits who have only practiced two-handed sword techniques for four months. How could Shi Wansui not know how the team leader Yang Ji trained his soldiers?
Shi Wansui tried to challenge Yang Ji, but she lost in front of Tian Xiaoqitian's team, one of his proud subordinates. Yang Ji's other proud subordinate, Chen Mi, defeated Chen's team, challenged ten veterans, and had no results in defeat.
Finally, there was a meat fight. The new soldiers who were full of food and had a big waist and round waist were so powerful that they stabbed guns and made a big slalom, but they had brute force. They had never learned the routine and just hit people with fists with their wheels and fists, but they tripped on the ground and stopped moving a few moves by the flexible veterans.
Li Shimokong, a spearman who was as strong as a cow, had at least three bowls of rice, had the strength but was fooled by others and finally was pressed to the ground and could only howl, but he could do nothing.
"You're going to be a master, take a look!" Yuwen Wen looked at the group of "experts" in front of him with his eyelids twitching. If this kind of individual combat power is used to break through the spear formation on the battlefield, it will only collapse.
It doesn't matter if the archers use their shooting to attack the enemy's accurate heads with a large number of shots. It's not a joke if they suppress each other's shooting with the enemy archers.
"Do you know how weak you are when you fight alone? You have to cooperate with the enemy on the battlefield! Don't think that your generals will make you form a formation for neatness and good-looking!"
"You can't beat it in one-on-one battle, but you can win and lose with five or five. They can't win with one thousand or one thousand. Two thousand people can form a formation to fight against four thousand people on the opposite side!"
"I will be angry if I go back tonight to have a small meeting and say that I will not express my experience, but if I don't say it, I will be angry!" Yuwen Wen shouted to the new soldiers who were like frost and beat eggplant, "If you lose the competition, you can still practice hard and win it back. If you lose on the battlefield, you will be completely over!"
Seeing Zhang Yu standing aside with a letter, Yuwen Wen announced that the disbanding soldiers had ordered the generals around him to make some matters, then turned around and walked forward and asked, "Is there a letter from the mansion?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said yes, then handed the letter to the Langzhu. Yuwen opened the letter and looked at it solemnly, then looked at it and sneered behind him.
"Master Lang, what's wrong with the mansion?" Zhang Yu asked nervously.
"Some people dare not think about Manager Liu, but were surrounded by Chief Zhang."
"Which slut dares to attack Sister Liu!" Zhang Yu admired Liu Caiyun, who was very capable in the mansion, who always called "Sister Liu". When the mansion said this, the first reaction was that a disciple wanted to touch Sister Liu, who was a good-looking one, but was taught a lesson by the guard leader of the mansion, Zhang Dingfa.
"It's okay, your elder brother Zhang will make them worse than death." Yuwen Wen put the letter in the fire beside him, "Think about the service of that one-stop... Tsk tsk, there are a few guys who didn't have time to bite their tongues and commit suicide when they were caught. Now they should regret it."
Zhang Yu seemed to remember something unbearable to look back on the scene and couldn't help but tremble. Seeing the Langzhu Shi Shi walked towards the camp and followed him quickly.
"I really started!" Yuwen Wen couldn't help but sneer.
Some people finally couldn't help but take action. Facing the 100% profit of the glass mirror, someone had already taken the first step. The choice was very good when he and his father were not in Anlu when they were leading troops to fight.
Glass mirrors can be sold at high prices because they are rare and expensive, and others cannot make them. The key point is the process. To be honest, there is no complicated process. It can be said that it can be said that it is clear at a glance. Liu Caiyun, who is responsible for the sales of glass mirrors and often goes out, will inevitably become a breakthrough.
Outsiders may not know that Liu Caiyun knows the making of glass mirrors, but she can always ask what she wants after she grasps them, so she is definitely the primary goal.
In his letter, Mrs. Yuchi Chifan said that because she had already found out and set up a trap, all the masked people who attacked Liu Caiyun were caught in one go. Zhang Dingfa was responsible for the "cuisine" for those who did not have time to bite their tongues. Based on various signs, King Chen, who had wrapped the glass mirror in Jiangnan, was the first suspect.
Of course, it is also possible that he has been criticized by others, and then others used his name to attract Liu Caiyun to come out and then arrested people. According to preliminary clues, it should be the power of the Chen State in Jiangnan.
Yuwen Wen believes that this is the consequence of not having his own business path. If he has no business path, he can only rely on middlemen to ship goods. If he wants to lead his troops to "fight for his career", he will not be able to let merchants come to his house. As the shopkeeper Liu Caiyun is responsible for specific affairs, so frequent going out is inevitable.
Liu Caiyun knew that the glass mirror production process should not be responsible for sales anymore. As the saying goes, production and sales are separated, but Yuwen Wen had no business talent on hand, so he could only let Liu Caiyun go out to negotiate business with others, and he had to take risks every time he went out.
Everyone makes money, so Yuwen Wen doesn't mind asking his father for help, but Yuwen Liang has only been in office for three or four years as the chief executive of Anzhou.
The father can make people loyal and honestly offer money and food based on the power in his hands and the army that can win battles. If you really want to do business, you have to discuss it with the local tyrants. Instead of having more formalities for Yuwen Wen, it is better to have a face-to-face conversation with the merchant directly.
Like Yu Wenwen, the elder brother Yu Wenming came to Anlu in early May last year and had no business connections for a short year, so Yu Wenwen had to deal directly with cunning businessmen.
The current business model is that Yuwen Wen's "share" his father every month because he has to use the approach of the General Administration: to clear the border generals and ensure Wang Yue's safety in Anzhou.
Regarding the future development of business, Yuwen Wen didn't mind letting his brother Yu Wenming get a share of the pie. Of course, Yuwen Wen always pretended to be crazy and stupid when asked about the craftsmanship questions his father had. This is a principle that there is nothing to say, even father and son cannot do it.
The secret, the fewer people you know, the better.
"Mr. Lord!" A man saluted Yuwen respectfully. Yuwen Wen recognized him as a servant in his mansion.
"I've worked hard all the way. Let's take a night off tomorrow morning. I have something for you to take back."
After letting someone settle down, Yuwen Wen looked at the sky in the south and thought for a while before asking Zhang Yu who was following him: "Zhang Yu, do you think Chen's naval army is powerful?"
"That's it!" Zhang Yu thought for a while and said.
Chapter completed!
