Chapter 35: A Military Town
The caravan continued northward, and the steppe maiden waved goodbye and ran far after the carriage, shouting incessantly.
If it was such a parting scene as usual, the soft Li Yuanhao would inevitably have a handful of bitter tears, but today she opened the curtain and watched the grassland girl gradually become a small black dot between heaven and earth, with a faint smile on her face, that guy once said that today's parting is for a better reunion in the future.
Well, it must have stolen someone else's words, but it was extremely reasonable.
After driving for half a day, Fan Yanqiu slowed down, and before coming to Li Yuanhao's carriage, Ding Yiyi looked disdainful, waved the horsewhip heavily, tore the air, and landed on the horse's buttocks.
Li Yuanhao stretched out his hand and pulled the reins of the horse: "Fan Gongzi, is there something wrong?"
Fan Yanqiu stretched out his hand and pointed to the north: "Miss Li, you can go to Guliangzhou in the evening today, will Miss Li enter the city to rest, or continue to go north?"
"Continue north. Li Yuanhao replied lightly.
"Hmm. Fan Yanqiu nodded lightly: "The caravan has arrived in Guliangzhou, and I will prepare the items needed for Miss Li to go north in the next meeting, and I wish Miss Li a smooth journey." ”
"Thank you Fan Gongzi for taking care of him along the way. ”
"Haha, Zong Fei's friend is Fan's friend, Miss Li shouldn't be too outside. After speaking, Fan Yanqiu drove his horse forward and returned to the front of the caravan from Xin.
Looking at Fan Yanqiu's back, Ding Yi couldn't help but snort coldly: "Hypocrite!"
Li Yuanhao didn't care, retreated to the carriage, crossed his hands in front of him, and sorted out the breath in his body, she knew very well what the young Ding Yi thought, so many things happened last night, Fan Yanqiu didn't appear, and the matter revealed Xuanqi, Tang Zongfei once said that his sword was full of momentum, and he faintly had the demeanor of a grandmaster, but last night there was an earth-shaking storm and thunder, and the son of the Fan family was unaware of it, and he had to be suspicious.
A businessman who shuttles back and forth between the grassland and the Great Wei all the year round has no basic vigilance, so it can only be attributed to great luck, and what Li Yuanhao doesn't believe in the most is luck.
Speculating downward, perhaps Fan Yanqiu and the male and female duo of Yuelai Inn are already familiar with each other, not only know the roots, but also reach some kind of agreement. The couple suddenly appeared last night, on the one hand, because they saw Li Yuanhao's moves under Zhao Duling, and on the other hand, they were probably taken by Fan Yanqiu as a leading bird.
Maybe in the wind and snow last night, Fan Yanqiu had been standing in the inn, with his hands behind his back, looking at everything that had happened, weighing the pros and cons, and finally decided not to come forward and disappeared into the darkness.
Continue to think deeply, the deceit and grievances between Jian Ning'er and Liang Xiuxiu are entangled, even if Fan Yanqiu doesn't know everything, he should know seventy-seven-eighty-eight, Liang Xiuxiu hopes to defeat the Jian family and gain Fan Yanqiu's love through this caravan transaction. Why can't Fan Yanqiu push the boat down the river and use a business failure to get the opportunity to rescue the Jian family, and at the same time be able to "subdue" Liang Xiuxiu.
Li Yuanhao frowned, a bold and terrifying idea came to his mind, would Fan Yanqiu have a connection with Liang Huan in Liang Xiuxiu's mouth, and deliberately set up such a series of games, but unfortunately he was strangled by his unreasonable hands that he suddenly killed, Fan Yanqiu must hate himself to death, but he can only show generosity and elegance, which is hard enough.
A son from the Fan family, if he wants to stand on his own, he always needs some extraordinary means.
Li Yuanhao knows many sons of wealthy families, not to mention Wei Zifeng in Tai'an City, Tang Zongfei in Liaodong, He Chengpeng in Nanliang, and Wen Zhiqian in Nanyang, they all have the disadvantages of the children of the family more or less, but they are all ...... in the deepest part of their hearts Only Fan Yanqiu, who has an elegant appearance and a gloomy and terrible mind, deserves to be called a hypocrite.
However, everything doesn't matter, after Gu Liangzhou, they will be separated, and there should be no chance to meet in the future, but pity Jian Ninger and Liang Xiuxiu, the two are not unladylike, but unladylike, and the final loss may be a lifetime, especially when Fan Yanqiu has reached the peak of his life and his temperament is fully displayed, the person who married Fan Yanqiu at that time is very likely to go to misery and darkness.
At this time, Fan Yanqiu sat on the tall horse, talking and laughing with the groom beside him, and inadvertently glanced back at Li Yuanhao's carriage, still with a sincere smile, harmless to humans and animals.
The carriage continued to move forward, and in less than half a day, the caravan had arrived in Guliangzhou and stopped in front of this military town.
Different from the majestic and magnificent Shengjing City, Guliangzhou is more like a military center due to the evolution of the military camp, there is no tall city wall around, but low mounds are enclosed, a lot of grassland style tents are set up outside the city, and then there are a lot of shops on the periphery, which also adopts the style of grassland tents, but the sales are sporadic ordinary objects in the Central Plains, and there are shouts from time to time, which is extremely lively.
Most of the caravan tea was sold to these shops in batches, from which to earn the difference, an extremely simple mode of operation, but because the land is sparse, it is difficult to scale, so that many government decrees of the Bank of China can not be issued, some policies have excellent intentions, but in the process of implementation, they will do more harm than good, and they will die tragically.
Standing outside the city, you can see the few wooden high-rise buildings in the city, the center of the city is the Dianjiang platform, a handsome flag is violently in the cold wind, in addition, you can also see a lot of wooden lookouts, on which stands Wuhou, with a heavy bow and crossbow with great lethality, to ensure that the Chinese army camp can always pay attention to the movement in the city, from time to time there are high-headed horses galloping out of the city with the command flag, splashing countless dust.
Rather than saying that Guliangzhou is a city, it is more accurate to say that Guliangzhou is a mobile military town.
If Shengjing City is a swarthy male lion lying on the grassland, then Guliangzhou is a steppe wolf that is ready to attack and wait for an opportunity, maintaining mobility to the maximum.
Zhang Yuan, one of the four generals of the grassland, sat in ancient Liangzhou, stationed 100,000 Rouran iron cavalry, and at the same time Zhang Yuan himself raised 50,000 private troops, which was the most elite cavalry of the Huns, and had the reputation of "Liangzhou horse, rampant in the world".
It is precisely because of the strong Xiongnu horses, so for many years, the Zhenbei army has never taken the initiative to establish cavalry, only retained the light cavalry as scouts, at the same time, hoarded 10,000 giant bows and crossbows, compared with the heavy bow and crossbow The lethality and killing range have increased more than three times, the Ministry of Industry of the Northern Wei Dynasty has measured the maximum range of the giant bow and crossbow to reach 500 zhang, which can shoot and kill the running war horse without much effort, even the heavy cavalry is also nailed to death.
Song Junyi is good at guarding, the 10,000 giant bows and crossbows are the biggest reliance of the Zhenbei Army, the ultimate secret weapon to deal with the grassland iron cavalry, as for where the 10,000 giant bows and crossbows are placed, it seems that no one knows the whereabouts except for a few people in the Zhenbei Army. 9110
