Chapter 363: Thoughts
When the sky was slightly bright, Sun Xiao took his more than 100 cavalry guards and rushed out of Fufeng City, last night, he and Cao Tiancheng drank a lot of wine, said a lot of heart-wrenching words, and inevitably talked about Ye Jing'er and Helan Yan, sighing, but also couldn't help but sigh that people's emotions are really a very complicated thing.
In their opinion, no matter from that point of view, He Lanyan seems to be more worthy of the general, not only can she go up to the hall and the kitchen, but she can also get on the horse to lead the battle, and the general can be said to be made in heaven, but the general likes Ye Jing'er, who can be blown away by a weak gust of wind.
But now it seems that the general is more far-sighted, as soon as Ye Tiannan made a move, he solved the biggest problem that the Fufeng Army is facing now, the dowry is one million taels of silver, and there are 10,000 craftsmen.
It's just Helan Yan's way of doing? The emotional entanglement between her and Gao Yuan is known to everyone in the Fufeng Army, and now that the general is letting go like this, she is in trouble. To say that there is no trace of affection between Gao Yuan and He Lanyan, he doesn't believe it if he kills Sun Xiao.
Isn't it possible to make Helanyan a lonely old man for life? Sun Xiao thought about it, maybe it was really only after the general became the king that it was possible to solve this problem.
Ye Jing'er used to be just a beautiful little girl in the minds of Sun Xiao and others, and she was the general's beloved woman, even if there was an earth-shattering sentence under the South Mountain that amazed Sun Xiao and others, but that's all, now Ye Jing'er has become the general's wife, the hostess of the Zhengdong General's Mansion, and in the hearts of Sun Xiao and others, there is only respect, not any closeness. But Helanyan is different, since the day Gao Yuan started, this woman has been entangled with the Fufeng Army, eating meat and drinking wine together. Fighting with swords together, the Fufeng generals watched her gallop on the battlefield, watched her sweat and teach Fufeng's cavalry, and watched her create a powerful cavalry for the Fufeng army, which originally had no cavalry.
Therefore, in their hearts, Helan Yan is a comrade-in-arms and a brother, and this closeness is far from being comparable to Ye Jing'er.
Last night, he had discussed with Cao Tiancheng. Can you contact a group of brothers to discuss with the general, why can't the big guy look at He Lanyan so sad and lonely, why don't you let the general marry He Lanyan into the door, there are many people, and the general can't brush off the good intentions of the brothers, right?
But this proposal was immediately rejected and warned by Cao Tiancheng. Cao Tiancheng's warning at that time still seems to be ringing in his ears until now.
"Sun Xiao, do you want to die? If you contact the brothers like this, is it an admonition or an assistant to the general? Cao Tiancheng was shocked and angry at the time, "You are not helping the head of Helan." You're going to hurt her! ”
After all, Sun Xiao has read a lot of books and is a little ignorant, how did he become a co-ordinator?
"That's just one thing, and that's the second one. Ye Jing'er is not as usual now, just by looking at her dowry, you can know her current status, this time. Coming with her, there are also 1,000 elite soldiers of the Ye family, who will also be included in the Fufeng Army. Ye Tiannan is no better than ordinary people, although this move has strengthened the strength of my Fufeng Army, but I don't know that it does not include the intention of letting this thousand elites serve Ye Jing'er. ”
"Third, whether it is Ye Jing'er or Helan Sect Leader, if both of them enter the door, who is big and who is small, Helan Yan will enter later, it should be considered small, is she willing? You don't know her temperament, even if she is willing, is He Lanxiong willing? Don't the Hun cavalrymen who are attached to us have an idea? ”
"The general is no longer the soldier Cao of the past, he has countless people under his jurisdiction, more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, every move is eye-catching, his marriage is not only his family matter, but also a public matter, Sun Xiao, this matter, you retract your hands and feet for me, don't interfere."
Cao Tiancheng is cautious.
This made Sun Xiao extremely depressed. Cao Tiancheng is reasonable, in fact, as Gao Yuan's strength becomes stronger and stronger, the aura shrouded in Gao Yuan's body is getting more and more, even Sun Xiao can feel that Gao Yuan's power is no longer the same as in the past, in the past, he could occasionally joke with him, but now, Sun Xiao didn't dare.
"I talked to Jiang Changshi about this matter, and I was also worried that the situation of the Helan sect leader would one day affect our integration with the Xiongnu tribes, but Jiang Changshi asked me to wait patiently, saying that the water will come naturally, and there is no need to rush about this matter."
The water comes naturally! Sun Xiao repeated a sentence in his heart, he was afraid that the water potential was too small, and before it could form a canal, it would seep into the ground and disappear.
The cool breeze was blowing, and something hit the face, and it hurt. Reaching out and touching his face, the guard next to him already said loudly: "General Sun, it's snowing!" ”
There was a rustling sound in his ears, and the snow seeds fell overwhelmingly in the blink of an eye, Sun Xiao pulled his headscarf, covered his face, and scolded in a muffled voice: "Grandma is a bear, it's not December yet, it's snowing, that old man really has some talent, saying that this winter is sad, it will be very cold, and it really snowed in advance." ”
Sun Xiao was a little worried, as the old man said, his task could be a little more difficult, the construction of the city, the earth and stone are enough, all kinds of materials are also piled up, in the case of enough manpower, it is not difficult to build the city wall first, but it is too cold in winter, after all, it will add a lot of variables to the construction.
More than 100 people, but with more than 200 horses, one person and two horses, changing horses without changing people, galloping all the way, when they arrived at Jishi Mountain, it was also midnight. Braving the wind and snow, he drove hundreds of miles in one go, and it was Sun Xiao, who also felt tired, but when he stopped and looked at the stone city not far away, like a galaxy in the sky, a joy flooded from his heart, and it seemed that the soreness on his body disappeared at this moment.
At this time, under the reflection of the lights, just like a huge monster, entrenched under the stone mountain, the prism that protrudes one by one, from a distance, it does not seem to be big, but only when you get closer, you can find that each such corner can accommodate tens of thousands of residents. According to the lofty design, in the future, these places will be a square market, and in the middle, a circle of streets will separate the main urban area, and the middle will be the core of the Zhengdong General's Mansion. Between the different neighborhoods, the roads extend in all directions, and the streets are nearly ten meters wide, so that in the event of an abnormal situation, troops can be quickly dispatched to every corner of the city.
The houses in the city are all fixed, the closer to the city wall, the shorter the house, and the nearest row of houses will be nearly 100 meters away from the city wall, which is designed to prevent the enemy from attacking the city and causing too much damage to the inhabitants of the city.
At this time, most of the people living in Jishi City were the workers who built the city, and now there are tens of thousands of rescued slaves who built the city, most of them live in the city, and there are some old and weak women and children among the Huns, they can't do heavy work, but they can do some things within their power in exchange for daily rations, but every night, they will return to their tents outside the city, outside the city, the big tent that stretches for several miles, is the Hun cavalry recruited in these months.
Sun Xiao is not afraid that these people will dare to rebel, because they all have a small family in their own hands. And these soldiers are all confined in the barracks, and every ten days, they will take turns to rest, let them go back to their tents to have a look, and watch their little life get better day by day, and think that the restless and restless heart will calm down day by day.
The daily wages of these old and weak women and children are not just enough to wrap their stomachs, according to Gao Yuan's order, Sun Xiao can pay by the day here, although the wages earned by these old and weak women and children are not as good as those who do heavy work, but just these are enough for them to buy the next day's rations and surplus, and they can also buy some daily necessities necessary for daily households. Four Seas Commerce has set up a lot of shops here, specializing in dealing in these gadgets, and absorbing the money earned by these people back little by little.
In fact, Sun Xiao felt that the salary was too high, but Gao Yuan just made him shut up with just one sentence. Knot! The salary is a little higher, they are not afraid, they have to use it anyway, and in the end they still return to the hands of Zhengdong Mansion, so people have to have hope. Now Sun Xiao has to admire Gao Yuan, because in the past few months, Jishi City has not given birth to a little chaos, but those Hun cavalry who were a little unruly at the beginning have been subdued little by little. The general is right, it is much better to let the families of these guys restrain them than to talk about military discipline in a loud voice, and if they don't abide by military discipline, they will all be expelled from the city immediately.
What is the consequence of expulsion, these Huns know that this means that they will wander again, and they will live a life of not knowing where the next meal is, and they are naturally unwilling. What they didn't know was that once they were expelled from the range of Jishi Mountain by the Fufeng Army, what awaited them was not to wander again, but to die.
Sun Xiao would not tolerate these people leaking the news out of the city after they went out, and there was a cavalry team that had been patrolling outside in the name of patrolling, and its purpose was to intercept and kill such people.
Fortunately, so far, there are really few people killed.
Looking at the starry stone city, Sun Xiao is like a father, watching his son grow up little by little in his hands, and the joy in his heart really can't be described in words.
"Let's go!" A whip struck the horse strands, and Sun Xiaoce rode straight towards the brilliant galaxy. Above the ground, there was already a thin layer of snow, and the horse's hooves passed, bringing out a snow dragon that was about to roll and dance in the wind.
The wind swept into Jishi City, and as soon as he turned over and dismounted, Sun Xiao turned to the guards and said, "Inform everyone, come to me for a meeting immediately!" (To be continued......)
