"Well, you and I want to go together, yes, that's what I thought about too. You ask Jinyiwei to send a letter and tell them that everything is safe, and it doesn't matter if you spend a little more silver. The most important thing is that when returning, the Han Dynasty is not as good as Saiwai and the countries of the Western Regions, and the forces of all parties should be dealt with when they should be pointed, and do not be stingy with money. Our purpose this time is to transport these war horses back safely and steadily, and it is nothing to spend a little more. Bai Yang thought about it and instructed Jia Xu.

Everyone must know that the Han Dynasty is not as simple as small countries such as Saiwai or the west, and there is no simple family or clan in various borders or state cities, and they are all masters who eat people and do not spit out bones. As long as one or two bite you, the expenses of so many people tossing for a day are not a small amount, so Bai Yang only thought of breaking the fortune and eliminating disasters and spending money to buy roads.

"Yes, my lord, I will arrange for someone to deliver the news to them. Do you see if there's anything else you need to tell them? ”

"There is nothing else to do, just let them pay more attention to safety, and bring all the brothers back safely and securely, which is better than anything else. Remember, if an accident happens, immediately withdraw with your brothers when you see that something is impossible, and don't be rash. ”

"Yes, my lord, I will convey your meaning to them." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he said goodbye to Bai Yang, leaving Bai Yang alone in the study to think slowly.

Changshan County is developing step by step in the operation of Jia Xu and others, and Zhou Cang, Huang Zhong and others in the north and Dawan in the west have also begun to prepare for the departure.

This time, because of the relationship between Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, all kinds of things are going quite smoothly. Especially now that the Han is strong and the surrounding countries are weak, Zhou Cang and the others did not suffer any major sin when they came here.

In fact, ordinary people think so much, as long as they can make themselves live better, they don't want to think so much. Therefore, after the relationship between the local nobles was cleared, Zhou Cang, Huang Zhong and others began to organize everyone to buy war horses on a large scale, and took out some daily necessities such as salt and cloth brought from the Central Plains this time, and exchanged a lot of good things with the locals.

In the end, the more and more things were collected, seeing that they couldn't take it, Zhou Cang and the others ordered to stop the transaction, and seeing that they and the others had overfulfilled the tasks given to them by Bai Yang, everyone also felt unusually relaxed.

Especially Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, in the empty checks and various promises of Zhou Cang and others, they did their best all the way and almost exerted all the relationships they could use to the extreme, saving Zhou Cang and others a lot of trouble.

Seeing that they were going back to the Central Plains, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang seemed to have a sense in their hearts, and they both wanted to behave well again and seek a good future for themselves to return to the Central Plains.

That night, the two people, who were thousands of miles apart, actually acted together. Zhang Shiping entered Huang Zhong's room, and Su Shuang entered Zhou Cang's room, muttering a lot.

The next day, Zhou Cang and Huang Zhong gave up their original itinerary and told everyone to rest in place for a few days. Then Huang Zhong brought a large amount of silver, and Zhou Cang brought some soldiers, and they went out in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

Five days later, Zhou Cang, Huang Zhong and others prepared all kinds of things, and then took everyone to set off, officially starting the journey back to the Central Plains.

Along the way, in order to avoid accidents, everyone picked small paths and forests, day and night, day and night, day and night, for several days, and unconsciously entered the territory of the Han.

Although he and the others didn't want to cause trouble, such a large-scale horse team passed by, and the large-scale and deep-rooted major families immediately knew the news. As a result, it didn't take long for all sorts of things to come to mind. At this moment, everyone really felt what it means to be difficult to move an inch. In the end, Huang Zhong and the others could only drag it, and at the same time reported the incident to Bai Yang, wanting to ask Bai Yang's attitude and how this matter should be handled.

After Bai Yang knew the situation, his teeth itched. But he can't help it, he can't offend all the big families! As far as I am concerned, people want to play to death, but it's not the same as playing.

Seeing that the time was getting worse and worse, Bai Yang gritted his teeth and was ready for the next time, as long as this batch of war horses came back, it would play a decisive role in his future development. On the same day, Bai Yang contacted the Mi family firm, discussed it with Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, and after borrowing a large amount of money, he asked Jinyiwei to send it to Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang.

The next thing is to open the road with a lot of money along the way, day and night, and after ten days of hard work, everyone finally returned to the territory of Changshan County after a long absence.

"Commander Zhou, Commander Huang, my lords, Lord Taishou has an order, and I order you to take the war horses to the Ziyun Mountain base to rest first, and then the action will be arranged at that time, and there must be no mistakes." Far away, Zhou Cang and the others saw Jinyiwei running over, and then there was no too much nonsense, and they directly explained their intentions.

After listening to Jin Yiwei's words, Zhou Cang, Huang Zhong and others responded in unison: "Obey the orders of the Lord Taishou." ”

After speaking, several people looked at each other and beckoned everyone: "All of them, rush to the direction of the Ziyun Mountain base." ”

In fact, the Ziyun Mountain base may not be able to put down these horses, this time the two sides brought back 6,000 war horses, and it is really not possible to raise so many war horses without a piece of fertile and flat grassland.

Now bring these war horses to the Ziyun Mountain base, that is, to rest within a day or two, you can't keep them in the pen every day like raising pigs and cattle, and the horses will probably not be able to run after a long time.

"Brother Hansheng, don't come here for a few months!"

At the base of Ziyun Mountain, the task of the main bus to everyone was finally completed, and everyone was rarely relaxed for a while, plus they hadn't seen each other for a few months, and all of them chatted in groups. Zhou Cang, as one of the general persons in charge of the mission, saw Huang Zhong standing on the side, and immediately came over to talk to Huang Zhong.

Hearing Zhou Cang's question, Huang Zhong immediately turned around and smiled and said to Zhou Cang: "It turned out to be Brother Zhou, my side is fine, although there have been many twists and turns along the way, but Huang still lived up to the trust of the lord and solved the matter perfectly, and the brothers were brought back safely." ”

After listening to Zhou Cang ask himself, Huang Zhong smiled and told him about the things along the way, and Zhou Cang sighed when he heard it.

"Brother Hansheng, do you think this family can really cover the sky with one hand? It's not just something happening on your side this time, it's also a mess on my side, but fortunately there is a lord who rescues me, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened now. ”

After listening to Zhou Cang's words, Huang Zhong shook his head helplessly and said, "Who said it wasn't!" Now that the various families control almost all places, they must first pass their level if they want to do anything, which is even more effective than the will of the saints. Especially in the northwest area where I walked, no one read the lord's various seal documents, and I felt that the holy documents might not work, unless there was the tacit consent of the major local families, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch! ”

Seeing that the two were chatting hotly, Tian Feng, a person who didn't like to talk much, also came over, and Zhou Cang and Huang Zhong didn't hide it, nodded and continued their chat.

Hearing Huang Zhong's helpless tone, Tian Feng smiled and said, "Commander Huang, you are too old, you can't see this?" ”

"Haha...... if I could see it, I would have done something according to Huang's ability. It's because they can't get used to all kinds of things, so they have been pressed by them for so many years, and this is because Huang has too much credit, and they have no choice but to be promoted to their original status, otherwise they have always wanted to be a small soldier. ”

Listening to Huang Zhong's words, Zhou Cang and Tian Feng smiled, and Zhou Cang said: "This is my Zhou Cang's brother, not tempted by the worldly red dust, stick to his heart, and keep his original intention, this is the real Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng!" ”

After listening to Zhou Cang's evaluation, Tian Feng and Huang Zhong looked at each other and laughed.

Tian Feng smiled and said to Huang Zhong: "Just because of your character, otherwise Lord Taishou wouldn't need you!" You two look at this Changshan County now, it's like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! In addition, Lord Taishou has been increasing the cultivation and introduction of talents, and it can be said that the most important thing in Changshan County is talent. And you see, all the abilities of the Wenchen generals here are top-notch, and none of them are easy. When Tian was in Yizhou City, he had many complaints about being transferred to Changshan County. However, what Tian saw, heard, and felt during this time, there was a voice telling him from his heart that he must stay here, this is his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he misses it, he may regret it for the rest of his life. Seeing the humanity here, feeling the atmosphere here, the elite of the soldiers, the courage of the soldiers, the ability of the strategists, and the eloquence of the Taishou, it is impossible to say that if you don't achieve a career! ”

"Haha...... my Lao Zhou is most unaccustomed to some literati and scholars, and I always feel that they shake their heads and say some poems every day, as if they are superior, but only I admire the really talented people. Mr. Tian, you are a talented person, not only since you came to the Ziyun Mountain base or what you have done during this time, all of them show that you are extraordinary. The lord can invite a few of you from the talent gathering place of Yizhou City with great effort, which shows that the ability of your few people is not only known, but also the lord is also clear. The lord sometimes cherishes face, and my old Zhou will be a lobbyist for the lord, you should think about it during this time, and it is best to meet with a few others and think about your future plans. As long as you take refuge in the lord, I think your status is definitely not low, and it will be a matter of time before you have a cute wife and children in the future, and you will glorify your ancestors. After Zhou Cang said this, he lowered his voice and said, "From the Dragon Minister, there is not a chance in any era. ”

Seeing Zhou Cang finish speaking cautiously, Huang Zhong glanced at Tian Feng's reaction, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Tian Feng didn't make any radical movements.

Tian Feng saw the reaction of the two, how could he not know what these two people meant, thinking of this, he said in his heart: It seems that I have to express myself, otherwise I will not have a good time today!

I don't know what the psychology of Zhou Cang and Huang Zhong is, but in Tian Feng's opinion, if the two of them can say this matter so blatantly, they must be preventing themselves from doing something they don't want to see. If you want the two of them to have no doubts about themselves, you can only join them by yourself, at least you should be consistent with their thoughts, otherwise who will rest assured that such a time bomb is by your side and knows such a confidential thing. At least Tian Feng felt that he couldn't do it, as far as he thought, if Jia Xu knew about this matter, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to have a stable life in the future.

"Tian Mou knows what the two of them mean, and he will discuss this matter with a few brothers, and give an explanation to the two brothers, otherwise Tian Mou will not be comfortable eating and drinking for nothing in this Taishou Mansion every day, right?"

After Tian Feng finished speaking, he also asked a rhetorical question, and then without waiting for Zhou Cang and Huang Zhong to speak, he said seriously: "Actually, the two brothers don't talk about this matter, Tian is also going to talk to Lord Taishou after he comes back this time, and talk about the matter clearly." The sale of war horses can be said to have left a deep impression on Yuan Hao. Tian has always thought that it was the inaction of the Han Dynasty, he didn't know the suffering of the people, he only knew that he blindly oppressed the people, and the current situation became more and more difficult. ”

After Tian Feng said this, as if he was disappointed with what he had thought of before, he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, and said to Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang: "It's wrong, it's all wrong!" This experience made Tian really understand and understand what is the real root of the disaster! Where can the will of the Liu family really reach now? Which class? It's all a problem. This is not a problem of the Han Dynasty at all, but the current situation has not been adjusted to obey orders, and there is already a phenomenon of self-reliance in various places, and such a situation can only be reversed if there is a person with great perseverance, great ambition, great luck or Emperor Wu alive. ”

"However, how rare such people are, they are all saviors, children of destiny and other characters, and the Liu family does not have this ability or such a person at all. During this time, Tian thought about it carefully, and judging from the past events, the Liu family should have understood the current situation a long time ago, and gradually made several big decisions in the past few years. It's like supporting the ten permanent servants, promoting relatives, etc. After a few years of manipulation, I want to use this to fight against the family, but unfortunately it's too late, now the major families have already become the climate, it's okay when there is no turmoil, if it's a little turbulent, it's really fate. ”

"Tian read the sage book in his early years, and he only knew loyalty, but he would not be foolish. Knowing that you can't do it, that's a reckless act. In the past two years, it has been rumored that Emperor Ling is unwell, and no one knows whether it is or not, but it will definitely not be groundless. Now that Emperor Ling is in power, it is okay, if Emperor Ling is sick, the new emperor will ascend the throne. Tian is in a mess when he thinks about it, and it is possible to become whatever it looks like when the time comes. Ay! Time also, life also! This may also be an opportunity for Taishou-sama. ”

Tian Feng said a lot in one breath, and then stared at Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang's eyes and said with a sincere face: "The two brothers also want to have a certain opportunity, Tian knows." In the past few days, I have had a good discussion with a few brothers who came together, and I will definitely not live up to the painstaking efforts of the two brothers. ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words, Zhou Cang said with a smile: "It's good that Mr. Tian understands Zhou's heart, Zhou is a rough person, and he will forgive him if he is offended." ”

Huang Zhong also hurriedly said: "Mr. Tian can think like this, I am very happy, I hope to become a real brother with Mr. Tian." ”。

"Haha...... everyone is here! We had a great chat! It seems that the brothers have gained a lot from going out this time. Today, the brothers are back, and the lord is very happy. However, the lord can't leave because of some things, so this time let Xu come to visit everyone on behalf of the lord. Tonight, we will hold a welcome dinner for all the brothers at the base of Ziyun Mountain, and all the brothers will have a good time eating and drinking. But don't forget to get down to business, tomorrow except for some necessary personnel to stay at the base of Ziyun Mountain, everyone else has to go down the mountain to report to the county town Taishou Mansion, and the day after tomorrow there will be a meeting in the Taishou Mansion, which will last for a long time, and everyone present will have to participate. Jia will tell you here first, and then I won't notify them one by one. Let's take the time to solve our own affairs as soon as possible tomorrow, and don't delay the meeting the day after tomorrow! ”

When a few people were chatting, they suddenly heard Jia Xu's voice sound, and they didn't expect that this time Bai Yang asked Jia Xu to represent him to pick up the wind and wash the dust for everyone. Zhou Cang and the others wondered, if Bai Yang could come to this kind of thing in the past, he must have come in person, this time is there really something delayed or is there something else, it seems that he will have to ask Jia Xu for a while.
