Zhang Xiaowu snorted coldly, the internal fighting in the Holy Han court is also extinct, it was a dispute between the princeling and the Zhang party before, and now it is a dispute between the emperor and the generalissimo. There are strong enemies outside, there is strife inside, and it is the people who suffer. He looked down at the file carefully, and said curiously: "This place is suspicious, shouldn't they have sent it in March?" Why did it arrive in June? ”

Xiao Kai said: "I inquired with the imperial envoys, because the trial of the case was relatively complicated, and many officials were affected during the war in Longdu, so that there were no officials in Beijing, so the trial did not go well. In addition, I have heard that some people have spent money to be exempted from exile, and some people have spent money to change their status, so although they are 8,000 exile prisoners, some of these people are guilty. ”

Zhang Xiaowu only felt incredible: "Even those who plot rebellion can spend money to resist crimes, and sure enough, money can make ghosts push ghosts, and more money can make ghosts push ghosts." ”

This statement is vivid and interesting, Ruan Qingwen said: "Maybe it's because Emperor Dade is too benevolent, turn a blind eye to this matter." ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked why he didn't see Guan Xiang again, and Xiao Kai said: "After you left, Guan Xiang took the military and civilians to re-produce, and he also established a Mucheng caravan to do business with the Central Plains and exchange materials. At the end of January, there were craftsmen offering sheepskin boots, Guan Daren thought that the leather boots were warm and strong, comfortable and beautiful to wear on the feet, so he encouraged the leather craftsmen in the city to make leather boots according to this method, and personally took the leather boots to Daizhou to sell, which was very popular with the merchants and nobles of the Central Plains. At this time, he was negotiating with the Murong family in the Two Wolf City, the Murong family wanted to take over the leather boots business, and Lord Guan wanted to negotiate a good price. ”

"He's so good at business?" Zhang Xiaowu was overjoyed, this tube inlay is indeed a talent, and he actually took advantage of the fur of Saibei, especially the production of leather boots, and he suddenly thought of crossing the previous famous saying: Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Jiangnan Leather Factory has closed down! The boss of the bastard, the boss of the bastard, the yellow crane, the eat, drink, the prostitute, the gambling......

In fact, Hu Sanwan's confidential battalion often used caravans to spy on intelligence, but they were not real caravans, so when Mucheng was in urgent need of various items, Guan Xiang formed a real caravan. On the one hand, the caravan of the Guan Mo did business with the Two Wolf City, and on the other hand, it also did business with the surrounding Tartar tribes, and even the tentacles had reached the earthen city of the Tatar people.

Zhang Xiaowu laughed, Guan Xiang has always said that he is incapable and incapable, in fact, many people just put their abilities in places where they should not be shown, for example, he is not good at serving in the army and politics, but he is doing things for the people. Of course, this Guan Xiang also makes money in private, but as long as he is a person, he will make money, and Zhang Xiaowu did not stop him from making money, after all, people who can make money and can do practical things are much stronger than people who are morally noble but can't do practical things.

Xiao Kai said again: "Lord Guan is not just in the business of leather boots, because Mucheng lacks spices, salt and iron, and most of this caravan is also engaged in the business of buying various spices. In fact, Lord Guan was also forced to be helpless in this move, seeing the spring flowers blooming, many people were worried that Inuyi would go south, and very few caravans were willing to come to Mucheng to do business. The people of Mucheng also left a lot, and there were about 1,000 veterans who returned to their hometowns with the permission of the wolf guard and returned to the Central Plains through the two wolf passes. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Didn't Wolf Wei refuse to admit our return order, why do you admit it now?" ”

Xiao Kai said: "The Murong family is now our big partner in business, so naturally they want to give us some benefits." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and suddenly said, "Why do I think Mucheng is more prosperous than before?" The people seem to be more numerous? ”

Xiao Kaidao: "After the beginning of spring, spring floods are frequent in various parts of the Central Plains, so that the people have nowhere to go. ”

"The disaster situation in the Central Plains is so serious." Zhang Xiaowu was secretly surprised in his heart, no wonder the emperor was unwilling to continue fighting, it was indeed more important to consolidate the Central Plains than to occupy Saibei.

In the evening, everyone in Mucheng held a banquet to celebrate the success of Zhang Xiaowu and others, and Wang Yijin told everyone about the experience of the city lord. This Wang Yijin is Zhang Xiaowu's embrace, and naturally praised Zhang Xiaowu's danger and bravery on this trip, Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "I'm not a god, according to you, my ten lives are gone." ”

"My lord, three hundred cavalry fought against twenty thousand cavalry, none of our three hundred people died and one was not injured, and more than 2,000 of them were killed, is it fake?" Wang Yijin drank a little too much today, and shouted with his eyes open. Good guy, after drinking some wine, he actually dared to question Zhang Xiaowu, but Zhang Xiaowu pressed his head and snapped his brain, and said with a smile: "Let you talk nonsense, people only killed and injured 200 people, and thousands of people came to you." ”

Li Yuan got up and raised his glass and said: "My lord, you are the first person in the world and the only one in the world. ”

Zhang Xiaowu let go of Wang Yijin and raised his glass and said: "No, the person who broke the enemy is not me, it is you and me and the three hundred brothers, it is us who break the enemy together, this glass of wine, to the brothers." ”

Convincing Beiyi and Shen Ya is based on wisdom and eloquence, and defeating Wuhuan Tieqi is based on his really strong martial arts and absolute courage, Zhang Xiaowu's legendary experience makes the people who originally admired him even more admired.

After the 300 cavalry returned home, they told everyone about the danger of this battle. All of a sudden, the fact that 300 light horsemen broke 20,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry was rumored, and the ghost general led the army out of nowhere, and its reputation gradually rose.

Perhaps because there are too few ways for people to receive the news in the era of cold weapons, most of the people who spread the news are actually storytellers in teahouses and wine shops, and in order to make the story vivid, storytellers will randomly give people nicknames, such as Zhang Xiaowu's nickname is a ghost general, and Xiao Kai's is a one-eyed flying general, and Shen Lindong's nickname is an eight-armed divine ape, as if the guards of this wooden city are all mountain kings.

Sadly, nearly 100 of the 20,000 wounded soldiers and civilians died on the way, and after they got a rest in Mucheng, more than 200 died the next day.

An old doctor said: "They have long been exhausted, and they have gone to Mucheng and returned to their own land, and their wish has been fulfilled, so they have no will to persevere." ”

When Zhang Xiaowu learned of this, he ordered a grand military funeral for them, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians buried more than 200 people on a barren mountain on the southwest side of Mucheng. Zhang Xiaowu also asked people to plant trees on this barren mountain, and all the tombstones were facing south, even if they could not go home, they had to stand facing the countryside.

Looking at the more than 200 new graves, Zhang Xiaowu felt that the war had not yet ended, and now it was just a comma.
