After Cao Tianci arrived in Shule City, he did not stay, but in the company of Cao Wending, he went all the way to Mulu City, and after entering Xinqin, Cao Tianci immediately felt the huge influence of the hitchhiker here, and everywhere you can see the transport team of the hitchhiker and the transfer station established on the side of the road, and Cao Wending is a big celebrity here, and most of the officials of Xinqin know him, which provides a lot of convenience for their journey. After arriving at Kangju City, it was still a period of military martial law, but it was obvious that this was not the same thing for Cao Wending at all, and with that face, he entered Kangju City unimpeded.

"Childe, don't rush any further, just now the city guard of Kangju City told me that the battle of Mulu City has ended, Xinqin has won a great victory, defeated 20,000 Great Food Cavalry, and captured countless prisoners, and now the front team is rushing back, Wang Jian is in this front team, and he will arrive in Kangju City tomorrow at most, and we will wait for him here." Cao Wen said.

"Okay, just wait for him here." Cao Tianci said with great interest: "I haven't seen a big cannibal yet, just this time to open my eyes!" ”

Cao Wending laughed, "What's so good-looking, it's not two shoulders and a head, well, if there's anything special, it's that most of their men have a big beard, which is very distinctive and beautiful, in addition, their women are extremely conservative, from head to toe, tightly wrapped, you can't see anything except two eyes." ”

"Oh, and like that? And then they themselves can't see it? What about ordinary marriages? Cao Tianci asked with a smile.

"It seems that this is their tradition, what women look like, only their husbands can see, as for before marriage, it may be blind marriage."

"Then if you marry a woman who is extremely ugly, it will be a big loss!" Cao Tianci laughed: "It's an interesting tradition. ”

The place where the two of them settled was the branch of the hitchhiker in Kangju City, and the hitchhiker was spread out all over the territory of Xinqin. Almost every city has a branch of the hitchhiker, and Kangju City is the farthest one, although it is still very simple, but the only son of the old owner is here, even if Cao Tianci has no other identity, the person in charge here naturally has to focus on it, not to mention that Cao Wending, the person in charge of the new Qin Zong, is also here. Two dog-like creatures took a warm bath and ate a hot meal. Cao Wending also had to inspect the work of the hitchhiker here, but Cao Tianci closed the door and fell asleep.

In the past month, he has been running non-stop on the road, and he doesn't know how the battle in the Central Plains is going. It's already November, and I don't know if the Qin people have moved? Now his intelligence system can't keep up with his speed.

When Cao Tianci woke up, it was already noon the next day. It turned out that he slept all night and half a day, and Cao Tianci, who got out of bed, only felt refreshed, and his whole body was full of strength, and then negotiated with Wang Jian. Naturally, it won't be so easy, bargaining, nothing more. Today's Xinqin, in fact, there are not many exchanges with the Han Dynasty.

"Childe. The captives from Mulu City have already begun to enter the city, do you want to go and see it? Cao Wending pushed the door in, "There are old and young." There are men and women, but there are really a lot, and there are thousands of them who have already entered the city. ”

"These captives will all become slaves, right?" Cao Tianci asked.

"Yes, and most of it is now in our ride." Cao Wen said.

"What?" Cao Tianci was instinctively disgusted with slaves, and when he heard that hitchhiking was involved in these things, he was faintly unhappy in his heart.

"Childe, we need too many manpower in Xinqin, because most of the basic construction work we are engaged in can greatly reduce the cost of these slaves. Therefore, we will buy some strong slaves from the New Qin government to do manual labor. Seeing the hesitation on Cao Tianci's face, Cao Wending continued: "Actually, these people are bought by us and it is their luck, at least in our place, they are well fed, warmly dressed, and sick, we will also ask a doctor to show them, we still treat them as human beings, and the real tragedy is the slaves who fell into the hands of the natives of Xinqin, which is really worse than dogs." It's perfectly normal that the day is not precarious. If we were to say it, we would buy them, and that would be a blessing to them. Some of them, I promised them that if they did a good job, they would be removed from their slavery. ”

Cao Tianci shook his head and stopped talking.

Walking out of the gate, sure enough, I saw the endless flow of prisoners on the street who were escorted over by full armor, a long rope strung them together, unkempt, embarrassed, from Mulu City to Kangju City, a distance of hundreds of miles, such a cold and snowy all the way, I think I have suffered a lot.

Cao Tianci could already think of their future fate. Seeing all this, he couldn't help but think of the past more than ten years ago, he was also captured as a slave by the Donghu people, if it wasn't for the master who saved him back then, or he would have become a pile of dry bones.

I felt a little depressed in my heart, and my interest suddenly disappeared, so I turned around and walked back.

"Wending, you go outside to investigate, if Wang Jian comes back, you go and ask to see him, tell him that I am here, I want to see him." After giving a command, Cao Tianci walked back to his room without looking back.

When it was almost dark, Wang Jian returned to Kangju City, he was in a really good mood, in Mulu City, in addition to these captives, he also found millions of taels worth of gold, silver and jewelry in the city, with these things, this trip can be regarded as a real profit. Not only did it make up for the losses of this war, but there was still a surplus to spend a fat year, and at the same time, it was also possible to continue to buy a large number of artillery and shells from the Han Chinese.

The big cannibals have suffered a big loss this time, and they will definitely not give up, this winter is not conducive to marching and fighting, but next year, they will definitely make a comeback, and the scale at that time will definitely be much larger than now, and they must be completely prepared. Having enough weapons and ammunition is a must.

Gao Yuan is right, expanding outward is indeed a good note, after a battle, there is everything, now everything in Xinqin is on the right track, the country is steadily increasing, and next year, even if the big cannibal does not come to him, he will expand outward.

Xinqin needs more land, more people.

However, his good mood, after entering the city guard mansion of Kangju City, came suddenly, and Cao Tianci, the police minister of the Han Dynasty, actually secretly appeared in Kangju City. He doesn't have to think about it, he knows that at this time, it is naturally not a good thing for this high-ranking and powerful figure to appear in front of him.

Faintly, he could guess what was going on. This is also part of the agreement with Takato at the beginning. It's just that he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, he originally thought that it would take several years or even more than ten years for the Han Dynasty to unify the Central Plains, but now it was only a year before he met Gaoyuan, and they came to the door.

Cao Tianci's arrival can only show that the Han Dynasty has reached the most critical moment in unifying the Central Plains. Although he was a little depressed in his heart, Wang Jian still sent Huang Ming to welcome Cao Tianci to the city guard.

"Congratulations to the king, another big victory, the new Qin opened up its territory and expanded its territory, congratulations!" Cao Tianci smiled and clasped his fists and saluted.

"Minister Cao, what kind of wind blew you into my poor country? Haha, this is really a good thing, a few days ago I did teach the big cannibal a hard lesson and won Mulu City, but it was just a small victory, it was nothing, and it couldn't compare to the power of the Han Dynasty! Wang Jianchun invited Cao Tianci to the banquet with a full face, and the city guard mansion had already prepared a banquet, but in addition to the two of them, only Huang Ming and Cao Wending were accompanied.

"There's nothing to do but go up to the Three Treasures Palace." Cao Tianci lifted his robe, sat down, looked at Wang Jian, and went straight in, "The agreement between the king and the king of my family a year ago, now is the time for the king to fulfill it." We need the king to send at least 50,000 horses to assist our Han Third Military Region in the battle and attack the Qin State. ”

Wang Jian's face darkened, and Huang Ming was also depressed, no matter what, it was the country they used to play for. Although they were already mentally prepared in their hearts, when Cao Tianci really opened the skylight and said something bright, the two of them were still a little sad in their hearts.

"Is there any inconvenience to the king?" Cao Tianci asked without changing his face.

Wang Jian waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just a little sad in my heart, I really didn't expect that Dahan was going to do it so soon!" ”

"It wouldn't have been so fast, our original intention was to fight the Chu State, but Lu Chao himself was restless, and actually thought that our Han would have a chance to deal with the Chu State with the strength of the whole country, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, in this case, we had to deal with them in advance, the king actually didn't have to be sad in his heart, this Qin State is no longer the Qin State, and now the Qin King who sits on the throne of Qin, I don't know where Lu Chao got out of a puppet, now Lu Chao is in charge, in order to confront our Han, Lu Chao forcibly expropriated and expropriated, It can be said that the people's grievances are boiling, and the people of Qin are living extremely miserably, and it is a blessing for the Qin people to be under the rule of our Han Dynasty earlier. The king has seen how the people of our Han Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, compared to the people of the Qin State, is it called life? ”

Wang Jian nodded, "Minister Cao is right, the State of Qin, in fact, after Lu Chao entered Xianyang, he has already existed in name only. The Han Dynasty needs my new Qin troops, and we are naturally duty-bound, but we also have some practical difficulties, and I hope that the Han Dynasty can help us relieve these worries. ”

"It's natural." Cao Tianci said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please speak, this time I came, my king entrusted me with full power, and basically everything can be decided." (To be continued.) )
