Doing business with the enemy before the battle, if this kind of thing gets out, it is not particularly nice after all. Fortunately, the current Huashan Army is not the kind of pedantic court, and Li Xin is not the kind of corrupt leader. Otherwise, even if Zhou Tong and they exchanged for such an important resource as war horses, I am afraid that they will be drowned by the spittle of those civil officials above the court.

"Now Zhang Qian has already agreed to our conditions, but the problem is that we have to wait a few more days, waiting for the general's order. I look at Zhang Ju's army, although there is a lot of food exchanged these days, it is not enough for them to consume. I'm afraid I'll be hungry again in two days, or let's change something else? Peng Lin thought for a moment and said.

"What do you want to change?" Zhou Tong glanced at him and said strangely.

"Anything! The armor and weapons on their bodies are not bad! Although it is different from ours, it is still very useful! I heard that the weapons in Liangzhou are quite sophisticated, we can just choose some from them, if it is really not suitable, we can simply take it back to the furnace and recast it! ”

"You kid, this is trying to eat it all! Still, it's a good idea! But we'll have to keep the price down a bit! Hearing this, Zhou Tong looked at him in surprise, and then said.

"Hey, that's nature!" Peng Lin smiled sheepishly.

The two of them suddenly laughed, and the expressions on their faces at this time looked like a general who led more than 10,000 troops, and it was clearly no different from the profiteers in the market.

Under the planning of the two, Zhang Ju's army soon set off a trend of exchanging weapons for flour cakes.

This time, Zhou Tong didn't sell grain directly. Instead, they make the grain into cakes or steamed buns. Then all these hot meals were moved to the city, and they were almost sold on the street.

The temptation ~ charm of these things is 10,000 times stronger than that of unprocessed grains, especially with bursts of fragrance. Many Liangzhou soldiers ran over, and the soldiers of the Huashan Army enthusiastically introduced the price.

Due to the quality of the weapons in each soldier's hand, the amount of food that each soldier can get is also different. But in the face of this hot bread in front of them, how many people can stand it?

Outside the camp, the city walls became bustling with people, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going between the two places.

Zhang Ju, who heard the news, stood at the gate of the camp with some generals, watching the soldiers with bread in their hands walk past him and others, as if they didn't see their own people, their faces turned dark, and they were silent one by one.

"Well, can this still be called an army? It's not as good as an outcast! The hateful Huashan Army actually humiliated me so much! After watching it for a while, Zhang Ju couldn't help but scold.

"The general is angry! At this point, it's useless for us to say anything more! The left and right are just some things outside the body, as long as the army is preserved, everything will be fine after returning to Guzang in the future! This revenge will eventually have a chance to be avenged in the future! The generals beside him were also uncomfortable, but they had no choice but to persuade.

Hearing this, Zhang Ju's heart seemed to calm down a little and didn't say anything more.

"Counting the time, it's been almost half a month! I don't know how the peace talks are going! I don't want to be in this place for a moment! After watching it for a long time, Zhang Ju said again.

"It's been almost half a month! I think it's pretty much the same! I'm afraid that Zhou Tong and they will maliciously block the messenger in order to squeeze the things in our hands clean! Some generals said worriedly.

"I don't think so! After all, if something goes wrong with us, they don't want to get anything from Guzang! Let's wait! Zhang Ju's heart suddenly, and then shook his head.

After standing at the gate of the camp for a while, Zhang Ju and the others went back to the camp, maybe because they really didn't want to see this terrible thing in front of them!

In just two days, Zhou Tong and the others harvested a mountain of weapons and armor! Such a harvest made both of them laugh from ear to ear!

All the things were piled up in the county, and after waiting for the arrival of the follow-up food delivery team, they could take these things back to Guanzhong by the way.

"The two generals of Qiqi, the messenger of the great general has arrived!" In the county seat, Zhou Tong and Peng Lin, who were counting the harvest, finally waited for Li Xin's reply at this time.

"Hurry up and get someone in!" When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly restrained their expressions and commanded.

Soon, Li Xin's messenger was brought over and presented with a letter written by Li Xin himself.

After Zhou Tong took it and looked at it, he transferred it to Peng Lin on the side, and he himself pondered.

"The general has already agreed to the conditions of peace, and the matter is finally over here. However, what the general said in his letter was indeed an important matter. After reading it, Peng Lin said to Zhou Tong.

"Naturally, there is no problem in negotiating peace, and the focus is on the problems that follow. The general thought deeply and decided to build a pass south of Gulangxia Pass, which is indeed an important thing for us. At least, in the future, there will be an extra barrier in Yuanwei County and Jincheng County! Zhou Tong nodded and said.

Li Xin said two things in his letter, one of which was that after Tu Qi and Zhang Qiang's envoys arrived, he supervised Zhang Ju's army to withdraw to Guzang, and at the same time returned Gulangxia Pass. The second is that it is said that a new pass will be built to block the southward movement of Liangzhou soldiers and horses.

The place where Gulangxia Pass is located is where the river valley is located, and where this river valley passes to the south, there is still a long area in the mountains. Therefore, it is not particularly difficult to choose a suitable place to build a pass.

In this way, although it is said that the Gulang Gorge Pass will be returned, it will not be a big loss for himself. For the other counties south of this pass, it can play a great role in protection, and it is a backhand left by Li Xin at the beginning.

"This matter should be discussed with Hu Tian! In addition, it is best to send someone out of the city to tell Zhang Ju, in this way, in the remaining days, they will stay outside in peace, and there will be no problems! Peng Lin thought for a moment and then proposed.

"Well, I will immediately send someone to inform Hu Tian and Sun Tie, so that they can take a good look at the terrain first, and then choose a suitable place first! Once Zhang Ju and the others have all withdrawn to Guzang, we will immediately mobilize the army to move forward and strive to establish the pass as quickly as possible. Although the situation is a little more difficult now, this matter is too important to care about so much! Zhou Tong nodded, and then said.

The two discussed it properly and immediately arranged for manpower to carry out the matter. And after Zhang Ju outside the city heard the news, the stone hanging in his heart was finally put down. He couldn't wait to inform everyone of the news, and after the Liangzhou soldiers heard it, they couldn't help cheering.

Zhang Qiang's side also moved quickly, and after Li Xin's letter reached Tu Qi's hands, they had already begun to send the negotiated things to the Huashan Army.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tu Qi rushed to the outside of Yuanwei County with Song Ming, the envoy appointed by Zhang Qiang, and arrived at Zhang Ju's camp. When he saw the appearance of Zhang Ju's army, Song Chao almost burst into tears, after all, the scene was really a bit miserable.

Fortunately, although the appearance of the army is a little broken, at least the number of people is not much less. After sending people to inquire for a while, Song Chao soon began to order a retreat to the west.

The Liangzhou army finally embarked on the way home, which made Zhou Tong and Peng Lin finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they immediately led thousands of soldiers and horses to follow behind and supervise the departure of the other party. At the same time, the soldiers of the Huashan Army stationed outside Beishan and Nanshan also crossed the mountain pass and joined Zhou Tong's army.

In this way, the Huashan army behind Zhou Tong and Peng Lin reached as many as 7,000 people, of which there were 1,000 cavalry. Such a large army followed behind, making Song Chao and the others nervous along the way, for fear that Huashan Army would suddenly regret it when they reached the halfway point and wiped out themselves and others halfway.

Of course, they didn't know that Zhou Tong had other tasks on them, and they thought that they were just here to monitor the retreat of their army.

After the army passed Hu Tian, the number of Huashan troops increased more and more. Even under Tu Qi's repeated assurances, Song Chao and Zhang Ju were still not at ease, and kept ordering the army to speed up, so that they could return to Guzang County as soon as possible.

After the two armies converged, Zhou Tong and Hu Tian rode side by side.

"How's it going? Is there a suitable place? Zhou Tong asked quietly.

"I've already seen it, and after I inspected it with Sun Tie and Deng Qiang, I found a pretty good place dozens of miles south of Gulangxia Pass. If the pass is built there, it just echoes the Gulangxia Pass in the south and the north! The other party's every move, don't want to escape our eyes! Hu Tian replied!

"Oh? That's good! When the meeting arrives, you can point it out to me! Zhou Tong listened, nodded, and said.

After another two days, the army was finally not far from Gulangxia Pass. At this time, the Gulangxia Pass was still in the hands of the Huashan Army, but Zhang Qian had already sent a small number of officials and soldiers and horses to cross the pass and come to greet Zhang Ju and them.

The moment they saw these people, Zhang Ju and Niu Ba almost cried, they had been aggrieved for so long, and now they finally saw their relatives!

"There is Gulang Gorge Pass ahead, everyone, please!" Tu Qi watched them greet each other for a while, and then stepped forward to speak.

When Zhang Ju's army crossed the Gulang Gorge Pass, truckloads of supplies from Guzang and other places were coming south. When Zhang Ju Niuba and others heard that this was something to exchange for themselves, they couldn't help but stop and look at it for a long time, but they didn't speak.
