In Yangzhou Shouchun, Yang Chen knelt in front of Liu Mang and bowed his head, not daring to speak.
The atmosphere in the main hall was dignified. Cao Cao had already swept Hebei, so the next step was naturally clear at a glance. Yangzhou would inevitably bear the brunt. Therefore, the people in Yangzhou did not have the kind of cheeky smile of the past, and they felt the real sense of pressure.
Although Yangzhou had been developing vigorously these days, everyone also knew that the development of Yangzhou was short, after all, it was not as long as Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
"Yang Chen, do you know where you are wrong?" Liu Mang on the main seat looked at Yang Chen with a gloomy face and asked.
"Yang Chen deserves to die, I failed the Lord's trust, I only ask for death, please punish me!" Yang Chen kowtowed to Liu Mang.
"My Lord, Yang Chen, although wrong, but the crime is not to death!" Over there, the six ministers, as well as the assistant ministers, as long as they had a face in Yangzhou, all appeared in the main hall.
Lu Su was the first to kneel and plead for Yang Chen. He and Yang Chen had lived and died together, Yang Chen also called him Big Brother Zijing, so Lu Su should plead for Yang Chen.
"My Lord, although Manager Yang was not able to report the military situation in Hebei in time, but this is also a loss of self-control, the development is too fast, we cannot blame Manager Yang!" Over there, Tian Feng also began to plead for Yang Chen. After he learned that Yuan Shao hanged himself, Tian Feng really cried for Yuan Shao for a while, and even wrote a eulogy for Yuan Shao.
The situation in Hebei was originally good, who would have thought that Yuan Shao did not die, and who would have thought that Yuan Shao would commit suicide in the end, so Yang Chen could not be blamed, he could only blame the world for developing too fast.
"My Lord, this unfilial son should be killed, that is 15,000 sets of Yangzhou's new armor and 30,000 sets of new swords, if they fall into the hands of Cao Cao, how many of our soldiers will die? This unfilial son, in love, made such a big mistake, why did you come back, I will kill you, you unfilial son! " Yang Hong said agitatedly and directly kicked Yang Chen over there. Everyone was silent, maybe the 15,000 sets of armor and swords were the most important, if they lost those things, the Yangzhou army would not be able to take advantage of the battlefield, the casualties would be very heavy.
"Sigh!" Liu Mang sighed, he knew that Yang Hong's love was deep, and he also had the idea of retreating to advance, did Yang Hong really want his son to die? Impossible! Yang's son's death's death's son's's death's death.
"Uncle Hong, you can withdraw!" Liu Mang actually used this title. Yang Hong listened and immediately retreated to the side, because he knew that Liu Mang would only use the title of Uncle Hong in private when there was no one, but he had never used it in public, but now he used it, that was to tell Yang Hong that he would not kill Yang Chen, at least not for Yang Hong's face.
"Do you really think that I want to blame Yang Chen?" Liu Mang looked at the group of Yangzhou civil and military officials below and asked.
"You are wrong, not only do I not blame Yang Chen, I also expressed a kind of appreciation for his timely withdrawal from Liaodong, this is Yang Chen's ability." Liu Mang said to the crowd.
"Liaodong incident, Hebei's situation turned upside down, Yuan Xi died, Yuan Shao committed suicide, who would have thought of it? No one, if you can think of it, then you are not a human, but a god, in the face of an uncertain situation, the best thing to do is to hold back the troops, calmly treat it, Yang Chen did it again! "Liu Mang continued to speak to the crowd.
"As for what you think, our Yangzhou's armor and weapons fell into the hands of Cao Cao, it may bring harm to our Yangzhou army on the battlefield, hehe, this is a joke!" Liu Mang said to the crowd over there, "I believe that everyone here knows the weapons and armor of my Yangzhou army, the take-out type and the ones we use are naturally not the same thing! Ziyang, you tell everyone what the difference is! "Liu Mang threw the question to the Ministry of Works Minister Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang.
"The new battle sabers that we sold were all made of waste molten iron. However, the battle sabers that we used were really made of good molten iron. In other words, those battle sabers that were sold were all defective products, which were equivalent to a hundred-tempered saber. However, the ones that we used in the military were all qualified, which were equivalent to a thousand-tempered saber!" Zhang Tie said.
With this, everyone understood a little. Although the difference between a hundred refined sword and a thousand refined sword was only one word, but the difference was very big. A hundred refined sword was at most a few dozen gold, but a thousand refined sword was worth a hundred gold.
Liu Ye also asked someone to bring in a defective delivery sword and let the guards in the hall pull out their own swords. When comparing the two swords, there was no difference. But when Liu Ye held a sword and slashed at another sword, the difference was obvious. Suddenly, a gap appeared on the sword. Although it was not like before, it was still a gap. As Liu Ye slashed more and more fiercely, the gap became bigger and bigger. In the end, the sword no longer looked like a sword, but more like a saw.
On the battlefield, having a gap in a sword meant that when you slashed at the enemy, it would get stuck and you would not be able to pull it out. Once you could not pull it out, then you would be slashed by the enemy.
The armor was not badly damaged, but it was not much better. Moreover, there were only a few tens of thousands of sets of armor in Yangzhou. As for Yangzhou itself, it was equipped with 100,000 elite soldiers.
Therefore, Liu Mang was not worried that Cao Cao would get it. Since Liu Mang was able to sell it, then he was not afraid of Cao Cao getting it.
"I am very angry with Yang Chen, angry that he was scared. When he was robbed by Liaodong's Gongsun Kang, the first thing he thought of was not an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, but the author's merchant ship returned to Yangzhou and waited for my decision. If you want me everywhere, what use do I have for you? "Liu Mang was really angry. He kicked Yang Chen.
"Yang Chen, I tell you, if you can't get back Gongsun Kang's head, you will raise your head to see me! Get out of here! " Liu Mang kicked him again. The official position that Liu Mang gave Yang Chen was not small. He had the right to act at his own discretion. Even Gan Ning was under his command. Yang Chen did not want to take revenge on Gongsun Kang, but ran back to find him. It was like a child who was bullied by his peers and ran back to find the adults. Liu Mang wanted a subordinate who could take charge of things alone, not this kind of dependent subordinate.
