After nearly 20 days of trekking, the mighty team finally arrived at Zhangye City, Changshi Pan Liao and Liang Wu took the civil officials and military generals out of the city for several miles to welcome the arrival of Guo Song, and the people who welcomed their triumphant return were more than tens of thousands of people, the colorful flags on the grassland were unfurled, the people were noisy and the horses were neighing, and the excitement was abnormal.

Guo Song and the officials saluted one by one, and Pan Liao said with a smile: "We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we have finally brought the envoy back." ”

"Is Changshi looking forward to me, or is he looking forward to the supplies behind me?" Guo Song asked quippedly.

"Both! Both! ”

Everyone laughed together, Guo Song met with the people again, the cheers suddenly resounded through the grassland, and an old man stepped forward to hold Guo Song's hand and said: "The envoy has recaptured Gaochang, and we Gaochang people who are wandering abroad can finally go home!" ”

"Gaochang is very good, fertile fields for thousands of miles, convenient irrigation, it is a rich and good place, you go back as soon as possible to restore the prosperity of Gaochang as soon as possible."

"You're right, we'll be ready to go back in a few days."

"I'll ask Tocaoji to arrange it later."

At this time, Zhang Qiu'an, who was in the army, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Cangcheng has been built, don't you want to take a look?" ”

Guo Song said happily: "Of course I want to take a look." ”

He shouted to the welcoming people: "Thank you folks, fathers and elders, recover Anxi and Beiting, all industries are waiting to be prosperous, everyone will have many good opportunities, and the government will issue terms in a few days, everyone can look forward to it!" ”

Tens of thousands of people cheered enthusiastically again.......

persuaded the people to return to the city, and Guo Song led the material brigade to Cangcheng.

Zhangye's cangcheng has been built, the circumference is fifteen miles, the city wall is tall and strong, there is a moat around it, and Zhangye water is connected, forming a Cao Yun, just like a small county town.

There are hundreds of warehouses in Cangcheng, 1,000 soldiers who are specially responsible for guarding, and more than 1,000 warehousemen who are responsible for unloading and transporting, all kinds of materials except gold, silver and jewelry are stored in Cangcheng, and valuables are still placed in the vault of Cao Si of Jiedu Prefecture.

"Envoy, why has the number of camels doubled?" Cang Cao joined the army, and Zhang Chen was surprised to find that there were tens of thousands of camels, twice as many as before.

"Captured from the Shatuo people, of course."

Guo Song smiled and instructed him: "These materials are handed over to you, Cao Si, a camel farmer who transports gold and silver, will come to take over, and you can notify the Animal Husbandry Department and the Herd Husbandry Department to come over and hand over the sheep and war horses." ”

"Rest assured! The lowly office will be arranged. Zhang Chen hurriedly ordered his subordinates to notify the Animal Husbandry Department and the Herding Department to come over and hand over.

Guo Song entered Cangcheng, pointed to dozens of tall and majestic warehouses and asked, "What is that storage?" ”

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Returning to the envoy, that is the grain depot, most of the wheat has been transported from Liangzhou, about two million stones, the forage warehouse is not here, in the Animal Husbandry Department, they have a specially built storage greenhouse." ”

"Two million stone wheat, can they fit?"

Zhang Chen nodded, "It's completely possible, a warehouse can store 80,000 stones, and there are a total of forty large grains and grass here." ”

Guo Song walked to a warehouse, only to see that the door of the warehouse had been opened, and the grain inside was packed in a hemp bag, piled up, very spectacular, I don't know how many times larger than the warehouse tent in the army, but it can also be understood that a warehouse can store up to 5,000 to 8,000 stone of grain, and this warehouse is 80,000 stones.

Although these dozens of granaries are large, they are nothing compared to the big granaries such as Liyang Warehouse, Xingluo Warehouse, and Guangtong Warehouse.

Guo Song visited the weapons warehouse, copper and iron warehouse and other warehouses, and then explained a few words to Zhang Yan, and he returned to the city with his own soldiers.

When I returned to the gate, I saw that my family had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

Daughter Guo Weiwei saw her father and shouted, 'Daddy! It ran like a bird with its arms outstretched.

Guo Song turned over and dismounted, picked up his daughter, and kissed her on the little cheek, "Do you miss your father!" ”

"Yes!"

The little guy nodded heavily, and took out a colorful gemstone necklace from his arms, which was made of precious gemstones of various colors, each of which was the size of a little finger and dazzling in the sun, which was the beloved thing of Zhu Xieliang's wife, and was finally used by Guo Song to make his daughter happy.

Guo Song put the necklace on his daughter and asked with a smile, "Does Weiwei like it?" ”

Guo Weiwei's little hand touched the extremely beautiful gem, and her little face smiled, "Weiwei likes it!" ”

Guo Song came to his wife with her daughter in her arms, Guo Weiwei hurriedly showed off to her mother, "Mother, look at the bright crystal that my father gave me." ”

Xue Tao saw that the gems were precious, and the sapphires in them were even better than the one she gave herself back then, so she said angrily: "It's really eccentric!" It's not so good to give it to its wife. ”

"Absolutely!"

Guo Song smiled and said, "I got ten pieces of top-grade mutton fat jade, and I will give it to my lady when I go back." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, which time did you go to Anxi and not bring it to you?"

Xue Tao is now a jade-loving woman, and she was completely taken into the pit by her husband.

Guo Song didn't see his son, so he couldn't help but look to both sides.

Xue Tao knew what her husband was looking for, so she smiled and said: "That stinky boy was still waiting for you just now, but he fell asleep in a blink of an eye, it was too hot outside, so I asked the nurse to carry him back." ”

"That's right! It was too hot outside, so we went inside. ”

Everyone welcomed Guo Song back to the mansion like the moon, and the family talked and ate, and gathered together, so I won't mention these.

.........

After lunch, Guo Song returned to the inner study, Guo Song sat comfortably on his soft chair, this is a wide and comfortable rattan chair, which was designed by Guo Song himself, found a craftsman to compile, and now it has spread, almost everyone in Zhangye has such a comfortable rattan chair, cool in summer, covered with sheepskin in winter, warm and comfortable, everyone named it 'Wang Ye Chair', and later felt that it was not good, and changed its name to 'brocade chair'.

At this time, his wife Xue Tao walked in with a cup of tea, she put the tea on the table, and when she saw her husband lying on the chair with his head on his back, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Where is the majesty of His Royal Highness the King of the County?" ”

Guo Song sat up, took her hand and hugged her into his arms, and said with a smile: "You are the princess, and you still want to bring me tea and water?" ”

Xue Taoxing's eyes glared, "I'll serve you tea, do you treat me as a maid?" ”

Guo Song lightly slapped himself in the face, "I said the wrong thing, don't blame the lady." ”

Xue Tao looked at her husband for a long time, and suddenly grabbed his ear and said, "I don't care about anything else, tell me honestly, are you stealing outside?" ”

Guo Song just likes Xue Tao, who has a bit of the independent temperament of a woman in later generations, he hurriedly raised his hand and smiled: "Heaven and earth conscience, your husband has never messed around outside!" ”

"Not before, but it doesn't mean that you are honest this time, you destroyed the Shatuo Department, captured so many princesses and princesses, all of them are like flowers and jade, aren't you tempted at all?"

"A small tribe on the frontier, what is like flowers, I don't look down on them, I still like my wife."

Xue Tao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw her husband praising herself, so she let go of his ears and said with a smile: "This time you are really blessed with all people." ”

"You mean to accept Aqiu into the room?"

"It's not Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu will talk about it next year, it's the Dugu Youlan you saw last time, the Dugu family wants to marry you, and this princess has already approved it."

"Wait!"

Guo Song hurriedly said: "When did this happen, why didn't I know at all?" ”

"Last year, I asked my father for help, my father wrote to me, but the snow closed the road, and when I received the letter, you had already gone to Anxi, I thought about it for a month, and then I wrote back to my father, and I agreed to this marriage."

Guo Song smiled bitterly, "Lady, I'm the one involved, okay, didn't you ask me if I agree?" ”

"Of course you agree, don't you? Last time, who ran out to send someone to the Youlan girl, I don't know. ”

Guo Song's face was hot, and he was about to explain, but Xue Tao didn't want to listen to it, so he smiled and said: "I'm going to see the jade, you can reflect on it yourself!" ”

She got up and floated away, but Guo Song was still in a short circuit of thinking.
