The most arrogant in history

Chapter 220 The most beautiful age.

Indeed, Duoduo has changed a lot now. She is in her prime, at the most beautiful age, with the desire to speak but unable to.

"Sister Wang, I didn't mean that."

Ye Kun blushed: "When Duoduo grows up a little bit and there is a suitable man, find her a husband. She is still young now, so there is no need to worry too much."

Duoduo is only fifteen years old. According to the latest regulations of Dading Kingdom, she can get married.

But Ye Kun knew that getting married too early would also be a kind of harm to girls.

Wang smiled and said, "Are you willing to let such a beautiful woman go?"

Ye Kun shook his head: "There are too many beautiful women in the world. How can I ruin her life just because of my momentary love?"

"Duoduo followed you, which is the best outcome. How can it be considered as a mistake for her?"

"Sister Wang, let's talk about something else..."

"Okay, let's have a heart-to-heart talk."

Wang also understood the situation and dropped the topic.

After spending half a day at the garment factory, Ye Kun returned to the county magistrate's office.

Han Chun, the envoy from Yizhou, came again to ask for a meeting.

Ye Kun asked knowingly, "Lord Han is here again, may I ask what you want?"

Han Chun clasped his fists and said, "Lord Ye, I'm here to ask for help. Please give me another batch of pulley crossbows and double-bow heavy arrows, as well as saddles and stirrups. I want as many as you can get."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Master Han, if you keep pushing me like this, I won't be able to make it in time. I just made 300 pulley crossbows, and they haven't been assembled yet..."

"Then give me these three hundred first, and give me a batch of ordinary bows and arrows."

"Lord Han, Yizhou has a strong army and powerful horses, so it shouldn't be so short of bows and arrows, right?" Ye Kun was a little suspicious.

He was worried that Gongsun Zhang of Yizhou was plotting against him.

Is it possible that Gongsun Zhang deliberately purchased a large number of weapons, and then took advantage of the emptiness of his own arsenal to suddenly send troops to attack?

Ye Kun also learned about the war between Yizhou and Hanzhong through spies and merchants, and it was indeed true.

Han Chun smiled bitterly: "I dare not hide it from Lord Ye, your pulley crossbow is indeed very useful. The first time we went to the battlefield, we won. But the second time, we were ambushed... Most of the pulley crossbows were stolen."

Damn, is this Gongsun Zhang’s level?

Ye Kun wanted to laugh, but he could only hold it back. He pretended to be nervous and complained:

"Lord Han, I provided you with the pulley crossbow because of the friendship we had sworn with Governor Gongsun Suanzao, not for the purpose of making money. But you lost my pulley crossbow, and it will be copied in large quantities by Hanzhong in the future, and it will threaten me in turn. This makes me... very disappointed."

Han Chun clasped his fists and said, "Lord Ye is right, so we must conquer Hanzhong before we can rest assured. This time I brought a lot of gold, silver, copper coins, as well as coarse salt, silk and linen. Food and wood will be shipped over later. I hope Lord Ye..."

Ye Kun sighed: "You stay here first, I will count the arsenal and see how many weapons I can give you."

Yizhou is so cowardly that Ye Kun wants to take action in advance.

Otherwise, if Yizhou was swallowed up by Hanzhong, you would be tied up in your own hands!

There are many weapons in the armory.

Ye Kun ordered two thousand ordinary longbows and gave thirty thousand arrows. He then picked out the most recently produced pulley crossbows and double-bow heavy arrows, and kept the ones with the best performance, and gave the rest to Han Chun.

There were also saddles and stirrups, which were sold in large quantities.

The next afternoon, Ye Kun summoned Han Chun to settle the payment for the goods and took 5% of it as a kickback from Han Chun.

This 5% kickback is more than one thousand taels of gold.

In addition, Ye Kun gave Han Chun a lot of porcelain.

Han Chun was a big landlord in Yizhou and also a representative of the landlords in Yizhou. He was greedy for money.

After receiving the kickback, Han Chun was very happy and bowed to thank Ye Kun for his care.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Lord Han, I live in the border of Yizhou and rely on Yizhou's care. You should speak well of me in front of Governor Gongsun."

If you want to attack Yizhou, you need internal support.

When Liu Bei conquered Yizhou, he also benefited from people like Fa Zheng and Yang Song in Yizhou.

Therefore, Ye Kun focused on winning over Han Chun.

Han Chun accepted the bribe, and his relationship with Ye Kun became closer. He whispered:

"Lord Gongsun does have doubts about Lord Ye. But now that he has purchased your bow and crossbow, Lord Gongsun has already trusted you."

"That's also the power of Lord Han's kind words!"

Ye Kun thanked him and said:

"There is also a merchant group in Dongba County who wants to go to Yizhou with Lord Han to do some small business and earn money to support their family. I also asked them to bring some small gifts and visit the major nobles and celebrities in Yizhou. Lord Han, please take care of them along the way."

Han Chun smiled and said, "These are all small matters. I will arrange them. I will ensure that Lord Ye's business routes are smooth and he makes a lot of money."

Poor Han Chun, he didn't realize it yet and thought Ye Kun wanted to expand his business routes.

Ye Kun's real purpose was to establish connections and relationships with the major noble families in Yizhou. In this way, in future raids on Yizhou, these noble families might give up resistance, remain neutral, and watch from the sidelines.

Under Ye Kun's arrangement, the caravans from Dongba County went to various counties in Yizhou, both openly and secretly.

There were also several caravans, all of which were disguised as Ye Kun's scouts, carrying pigeons from Dongba County, and went deep into Yizhou to gather intelligence.

Ye Kun also transferred all the 300 death warriors that were previously kept in Xiping Mountain to Dongba County, where he personally trained them secretly and did ideological work.

These death warriors were trained by the most outstanding scouts under Ye Kun.

Scouts are special forces, and there is a "Mountain Army Scouting Essentials", which is equivalent to the ancient "Tactical Skills Training Manual for Special Reconnaissance Soldiers of Combat Forces".

The skills of a scout include hiding, concealing, lurking, hiding, and attacking, etc.

Ye Kun had seen the scout’s magical skills. He could kick stones with his toes and hit a running dog!

You can use a simple piece of rope to make a slingshot, and launch stones a hundred meters away with your bare hands while ensuring a certain hit rate. It can be used to hunt rabbits in the wild!

There are also spear throwers made of bamboo strips or branches, which greatly increase the range of the javelin.

Ye Kun shared the reconnaissance and camouflage techniques of later generations with his scouts, which was of great benefit to improving their combat effectiveness.

Among the scouts, there are some who are skilled in flying knives and never miss their target.

Ye Kun had seen several modern masters in this regard when he watched short videos before. They were very skilled in throwing knives, and could also shoot screwdrivers, rulers, and scissors at will and hit the target.

The three hundred young warriors recruited by Ye Kun have all become heroes after a year of rigorous training.

Once deployed to the enemy's rear, it can turn the world upside down!

The time is ripe and the opportunity is fleeting.

Ye Kun decided to seize Xichuan Yizhou after the new year!

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again.

Ye Kun, along with Wen Axiu and Jiao Nu, comforted and consoled the troops stationed in various places in Dongba County, and then rushed to Pingye County to comfort and inspect the troops stationed in various places.

Jiang Yourong is taking care of her son and cannot accompany Ye Kun.

As the second wife, Miss Yuejuan accompanied Ye Kun to organize activities everywhere and win people's hearts.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Kun went to Tianmen City to conspire with Shangguan Jifu.

Shangguan Jifu had been waiting impatiently and asked:

"You sold a large number of pulley crossbows and double-bow heavy arrows to Yizhou. If we attack Yizhou now, will there be additional casualties?"

Shangguan Jifu disagreed with Ye Kun's sale of military equipment.

Selling weapons to the enemy, isn't that just shooting yourself in the foot?
