Chapter 12 Arriving at the cottage with different thoughts
Chen Yi thought of another question, and he threw this question to Pei Yuanshao next to the carriage. "Sir Pei, how many border soldiers are there in your village, how many county soldiers are there, and how many brothers want to be defeated?" Pei Yuanshao took over the question and thought for a while and said, "There are 160 people in the border army now, and many brothers who can't make it. Later, they all came here. There were about 280 county soldiers and 560 ordinary brothers. "Pei Yuanshao said very realistically." Then what are the current weapons and equipment?" Chen Yi asked again, Pei Yuanshao counted his fingers and replied: "The brothers of our border army are all cavalry, with leather armor and a layer of bamboo armor, and simple cavalry shields on his arms, some of which are bamboo."
Some of the sons are wood, which can be roughly considered complete. For county and state soldiers, there are four parts, a small number of cavalry, only 40 people, about 60 archers, 80 spearmen, and 100 sword and shield soldiers. The weapons and equipment are relatively poor. The archers don’t even have a few arrows now, but they are all trained and can be called combat power. The rest are purely counterfeit brothers, with only their own single clothes on their bodies and no weapons. Most of them only have wooden sticks and farm tools, and there are no serious weapons at all. If they are counted, the combat power is not as good as our side army. Therefore, we don’t let them out very much. We usually just plunder those corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen, and we will not attack ordinary people."
Chen Yi felt embarrassed when he heard this, "Why did you want to rob me today?" Pei Yuanshao was also very embarrassed." Master, don't blame it. This is the case. It's Lantern Festival in a few days. Our brother San'er also wanted to go shopping in Luoyang City for a long time, but he couldn't just ride a military horse in this way, and wanted to find a carriage. But I just told them in the morning that the people disappeared at noon. I was afraid that they would make a big mistake on their impulse, so I followed them out with some people. Halfway through the way, I met two brothers back to report the message, and I rushed over. "In these words, Chen Yi not only heard apologies, but also heard a trace of hidden hiddenness. Chen Yi found a problem in Pei Yuanshao's words.
If you just simply chase Bai Rang and Liao Fei back, you don’t need to mobilize so many people. And if you are very anxious, you don’t need to bring so many infantrymen. You either make a temporary decision or do it intentionally. The former is okay, but the latter... Hahaha, you must be careful. Chen Yi was completely silent when he thought of this, closed his eyes and rested without saying another word.
The front of this group of people was Liao Fei from the Third Head, Pei Yuanshao from the Great Head, and the last one was Bai Rang from the Second Head. Bai Rang had a few people who knew some medical knowledge to serve him and treated his wounds. Of course, Bai Rang now can be said to be in a very bad mood. He just held back and didn't burst out. Bai Rang was placed on a trailer, and his whole body was entangled into a mummy, with only his face exposed, and only his eyes were left with fire that could spurt out at any time, just like a snake letter spitting out by a poisonous snake.
Liao Fei rode in front, with county soldiers (looking outfits and dresses) following him. He just rushed to the road silently, without saying a word. The red tassel gun in his hand was placed horizontally on the horse. To outsiders, Liao Fei was just staring at the ears on the red tassel gun, but what they couldn't see was Liao Fei touching a letter from time to time, and then hesitating. However, Chen Yi also saw the strangeness of Liao Fei. To be precise, Chen Yi could see that the three leaders each had their own ideas, and some of them had ulterior motives. However, for himself who is short of soldiers, there is a lot of stuff to do. Thinking of this, Chen Yi opened his eyes and found a small bag of stuff in a pile of luggage, found a piece of beef jerky, and threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, thinking of a way with his fingers.
Fulong Village is not far from here. A group of people marched at night. It was almost the afternoon of the next day that everyone finally arrived at the mountain village. Pei Yuanshao had already sent two people back and ordered people to prepare the banquet. When Chen Yi and the others finally arrived, the banquet was ready. Everyone was very tired, but when there was a banquet, everyone was very excited to cheer up. The whole mountain village had a happy atmosphere like a festival. Chen Yi was the only time he was happy since he first fled to famine. Now he finally showed his side of the child. Asking questions everywhere made everyone laugh. After all, Chen Yi was really not like a child, it was too serious, making everyone blurred his age background.
Chen Yi was a child, of course he could not drink alcohol, so Pei Yuanshao took some leaves and boiled some water (tea leaves originated in China, and tea was first used as a sacrifice. However, it was eaten by people in the late Spring and Autumn Period, developed into medicinal use in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and developed into high-end palace drinks in the late Western Han Dynasty. It was popularized as ordinary drinks in the folk. This was after the Western Jin Dynasty. So at this time, I just found some medicinal materials that had some delicious tastes, but there would be no problems after drinking them and boiled some water. Chen Yi asked again, mainly licorice and mint, and some teas that could hardly be called tea. However, I have to say that the water cooked in this way has a feeling of herbal tea in later generations, and it tastes very homesick.
Chen Xiang and Dian Wei sat in front, and the seats were lined up like this. Pei Yuanshao was sitting on the top. A special seat was set up next to Pei Yuanshao for Chen Yi. Pei Yuanshao was surrounded by his own people on the right. The first seat was empty because it was a seat for Bai Ran. But now Bai Ran can only recover from his house due to serious internal injuries. However, even so, Pei Yuanshao still kept the seat for him and sent all the things to Bai Ran.
The next one is naturally Liao Fei, and Chen Xiang and Dian Wei are naturally on the left. Because Chen Yi has only two people, Pei Yuanshao only asked Liao Fei to accompany him and did not find other counterfeit brothers to accompany him. Chen Xiang really saw that he was from a big family, with a moderate drinking and a good conversation. On the contrary, Dian Wei was like the hungry wolf, holding the wine pot and pouring it into his mouth, and almost grabbed the food with his hands. He looked like a real man.
Liao Fei's behavior is closer to Chen Xiang, and Dian Wei's heroic dining method is more attractive to Pei Yuanshao. A group of people became familiar with each other immediately. Otherwise, if you have to drink to make friends, this thing is really too easy for men to enhance their feelings. Chen Yi took another sip of his hot herbal tea and asked Pei Yuanshao a question: "Pei Zhuangshi, don't know if this copycat has ever encountered the official army?" Pei Yuanshao also drank a lot of wine.
He was hot and said in a daze. "My village is full of food and food. Even if there are more than 10,000 people, I can't even attack my village." But Chen Yi's eyes were not looking at Pei Yuanshao, but staring at Liao Fei tightly. As expected, when he mentioned the official army, the third leader's hand holding the wine bottle shook a lot, and the facial muscles on his face couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes were very consciously not looking at others.
Chen Yi praised a few more words. Pei Yuanshao was so straight that his waist was very straight, and his face was as smiling as a flower. Liao Fei forced his smile. The happiness just now was just on the corner of his mouth. Chen Yi was silently drinking his herbal tea and eating the prepared dishes. Well, I have to say that the food in the Eastern Han Dynasty was really the most tormenting problem for him, a foodie. There was no iron pot in this era, and the vegetables could only be boiled, steamed and roasted, but the salt had not been purified yet. Now the salt is basically a real bitter braised braised, let alone vinegar and soy sauce. Thinking about it this way, only the fruit plate in the middle can be eaten. Well, if you eat grapes, you don’t spit the grapes, and if you don’t eat grapes, you will spit the grapes. Chen Yi was thinking about his thoughts, and didn’t say much, thinking that he would have to do a good job.
After the banquet, Chen Yi brought Chen Xiang and the drunk unconscious Dian Wei to the residence Pei Yuanshao prepared early. The bed was ready. After throwing Dian Wei, the big man, on the bed, Chen Xiang began to serve Chen Yi's washing. In fact, there was not so much attention. After all, he was in the process of escape. After almost, the three of them went to bed to rest, especially Dian Wei's snoring sounded like thunder. Not long after the three of them fell asleep, two black shadows flashed outside the house and headed towards the center of the village. As soon as the two left, Chen Yi opened his bright eyes in the night. Haha, the plan began and the good show was about to be staged.
What is the plan? Let's wait for the next breakdown.
