Compared with the ministers in his temple who only know how to talk rhetoric, Chen Deng is obviously more accomplished, even the always arrogant Zhong Changtong, has some ideas of wanting to make friends with Chen Deng, Chen Deng has not left here for a few days, piles of wood have been sent from all over the place, everyone in the camp was stunned, ecstatic picked up the wood, began to lay sleepers, followed by Xing Ziang came most of the outstanding craftsmen, the wood finally arrived, they can also show their skills.

The happiest is none other than Xing Ziang.

Xing Ziang stroked the wood, as if looking at his own child, his eyes were full of tenderness, his face was happy, and after an order, everyone began the mighty construction project, and Chen Deng placed several officials in each important county seat, because in Chen Deng's view, the most important role of the Chidao is to be able to connect these routes, which is the most important, and he instructed the local officials to help these people to build things.

I don't know why, Chen Deng, who has always been very indifferent, also tried his best to help Xing Ziang this time, he first made a road map overnight, and then transferred a large number of people and sent them to the officials in charge of the construction of the road in various places, and then, he invited a large number of displaced people from Xiting County, these are from the west, and the war caused them to lose their homes.

And if you want to stay in Xizhou, it is not a simple matter, Chen Deng followed the practice of Emperor Xiaokang in the past, and used work for relief, or it was to stay in the Han Dynasty and get food as an excuse, so that these displaced people could build a gallop road, in addition, he also wrote a letter to Zhang Liao, hoping that Zhang Liao could help him find some manpower from Guishan, if so, he hoped that the soldiers under Zhang Liao's command could also help here.

Of course, Zhang Liao couldn't let the elite southern soldiers help him build a gallop road, but he could help with such a thing as arresting people, Zhang Liao notified the captains, and the captains went out one after another, crisscrossing the territory of Guishan, directly ignoring the soldiers of Guishan, Guishan here, it is extremely frightened, since the previous war with the Han Dynasty, the Guishan people are extremely afraid of the Han, the new King of Guishan, is an incompetent puppet.

It is the puppets of many nobles in the south of Kushan, the nobles have no idea of starting a war with the Han Dynasty, as long as they can keep their wealth, as for the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, they did not touch their interests, but they just caught some untouchables, those untouchables, anyway, there are countless people, and they are useless to them, these untouchables do not even have the qualifications to farm for the nobles or serve them.

They were not allowed to farm, they could not serve as soldiers, they were not even qualified to be slaves, and they could only do the most menial work, such as cleaning up filth or carrying unclean things in the city. What impact does it have on these noble lords?

There is no shortage of some fierce warriors and generals in Guishan, they are clamoring to make the Han pay the price, and some people even want to ambush the Han soldiers, they can't let them just crisscross the territory of Guishan, but the nobles have suppressed them all, not only that, but there are also nobles who take the initiative to contact Zhang Liao, hoping that the Han army will not break into the territory of Guishan, as for those untouchables, you don't use them to rob, we will give you as much as you want, why use force? ?

When Zhang Liao first received this letter, he was indeed a little confused, what is the situation? ? Do you want to take the initiative to send me manpower?? Won't their king kill them? Or did they set up an ambush or something? Zhang Liao hurriedly called the captains over, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Lu Yi, Sun Ce and other fierce generals gathered, and then led people to the agreed area.

I saw dust in the distance, there were many figures, Zhang Liao was about to attack, but he saw the true appearance of the people who came, these people, the poor didn't even have any clothes on their bodies, many of them were ** body, including some women, with them, were a few obese nobles, riding horses, the horses couldn't raise their heads, although there were some disheveled women around them, they didn't squint.

It's not that they're serious, it's just that the untouchables don't deserve their favor, and even a glance at them makes them feel sick.

When they saw Zhang Liao, these nobles seemed extremely happy, greeted Zhang Liao with a smile, their heads were about to be on the ground, Zhang Liao helped him up with a smile, and talked with him in a friendly and cordial manner, fortunately, he brought a translator, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time, Lu Yi walked up, and I don't know what to say to Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao waved his hand, called a few soldiers, and asked them to bring a few good horses from the Western Regions, as well as a few swords, and presented them to these nobles as a reward for them.

These nobles were very happy, they didn't expect that they could get the favor of the nobles of the Han Dynasty so easily, and they would be able to settle down, Zhang Liao signaled to Lu Yi and asked him to be responsible for talking to these people, Lu Yi raised his head, he was more majestic than Zhang Liao, but he was very happy to chat with these nobles, they chatted for a long time, and then they left, Ma Chao, Sun Ce and these people were a little confused.

They worked hard, and it took a month of hard work, but they only caught five or six thousand people, and now they haven't done anything, just a few horses, in exchange for tens of thousands of people, aren't the people of Guishan stupid??

They escorted everyone back, and Zhang Liao asked with some curiosity: "Captain Lu, what did you talk to them about just now?" ”

"General Hui, I told them that my father was the most high-class nobleman in the Han Dynasty, with a land almost as large as Guishan, and needed someone to help take care of him, so he needed these untouchables, and I hope they can send such untouchables every month...."Lu Yi said, Zhang Liao has not answered, but the rest of the captains laughed, Sun Ce laughed the most, he grinned, and said: "Captain Lu still has such a background, it seems that in the future, we will all flatter, say that we can't leave the barracks, and we can find an errand with his father!" ”

"Okay, if you come, I will persuade my father to give you a horse keeper!"

The two quarreled, everyone laughed, but Zhang Liao, looking at the frightened people behind him, his face was complicated, he really didn't understand, what kind of country would treat its people as livestock, in the Han Dynasty, there were also slaves, but even if they were slaves, they lived much better than these people, at least, they had food to eat, clothes to wear, they would not be so disheveled, they would not be sold at will, let alone killed indiscriminately.

Zhang Liao has never looked down on those Confucian scholars very much, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that compared to caste ideas like Guishan, Confucianism is really countless times better.

Zhang Liao returned to the camp and sent the lieutenant to send these people to Chen Deng.

In a short period of time, the manpower in Xizhou has been increasing, and the galloping roads in various places have officially started construction, especially Xing Ziang here, there are more and more people, and the same is true for the materials, Chen Deng has helped him a lot, Xing Ziang thanked him from the heart, and often wrote letters to express his gratitude, Chen Deng also replied, Xing Ziang even wrote a few rare pieces of music and handed them to Luoyang.

He felt that a talent like Chen Deng must not be wasted in this place, and his talent can definitely succeed Cao Cao!

This is already the highest rating.

Busy outside the camp all day, Xing Ziang often couldn't breathe, he was always coughing at night, Zhong Changtong persuaded him many times, he refused to rest, even an unrelated person like Chen Deng could make such a contribution to the great strategy, how could he retreat due to illness?

"Jide! You take your people to rest for half a day!! I will take over the middle ointment!! ”

"Axiom! You go to the rear and talk about it!! Let them keep the food alive, don't show it, and the meat will be dried! ”

Xing Ziang stood aside, commanding everyone, everyone buried their heads in hard work, Xing Ziang was about to step forward, the sky was overcast, the wind gradually rose on the ground, Xing Ziang's eyes widened, and suddenly shouted: "Be careful!" The wind is blowing!! As soon as Xing Ziang's voice fell, the wind suddenly came, and the wind swept up the dust in the sky and swept towards the camp, and everyone couldn't see the surroundings clearly, so they hurriedly covered their eyes.

"Return to the tent!! Return to the tent!! ”

The wind was raging, Xing Ziang's roar seemed so small, the yellow sand was flying, as if it swept the whole world, in the sky, the yellow sand was like a flying yellow dragon, constantly wandering, many people saw such a vision, frightened that their legs were weak, and they fell to the ground, these are some Liangzhou people, they are particularly afraid of such a strange scene, Xing Ziang naturally saw such a scene.

He seemed to see a yellow dragon flying in front of him, his eyes staring at him.

Are you on your way?

Xing Ziang was exceptionally calm, as soon as the wind blew, he fell to the ground, the sand hit, he coughed violently, and his eyes gradually lost their light.

"Yellow Dragon!!"

"Ghost !!"

Everyone shouted in panic, and Zhong Changtong gritted his teeth and glared angrily at the sky.

"What the hell did you come from!! Come, my Zhong Changtong loves to kill gods and ghosts!! It's kind of killing me!! Zhong Changtong roared, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and rushed into the yellow sand of the sky, Zhong Changtong put his hand in front of him, resisting the wind and sand, and kept walking forward, the wind kept beating on his body, but it didn't make him retreat, finally, he saw the old man lying on the ground in the distance, Zhong Changtong walked to his side with difficulty, stretched out his hand, and dragged the old man out of the wind and sand.

Everyone looked ahead in amazement.

Zhong Changtong hugged Xing Ziang, gritted his teeth, and slowly walked out.

Xing Ziang had fallen into a coma, and he dreamed of the huge Yellow Dragon, no matter how much he prayed to delay it for a while, it was indifferent, until, he heard the familiar violent sound, and the Yellow Dragon left in grief.

When he opened his eyes, he saw only a resolute young man.

"Zhong Changtong is here!! There are no ghosts and gods!! ”
