The three horsemen galloped on the loess road, raised the dust in the sky, and went straight to the pass of Jiayu Pass.

The defenders of the Dongjiang Army soon discovered that something was wrong and immediately notified Chen Qiyu, who was stationed at Jiayuguan. Knowing that there were Jin soldiers coming, although there were only three of them, Chen Qiyu still did not dare to slack off, and immediately issued an order to guard all the soldiers at the gate.

After that, Chen Qiyu hurriedly went up to the city tower and personally looked at the visitors with a telescope. In the binoculars, Chen Qiyu soon saw three fast horses galloping, and the knights on them were wearing the costumes of golden soldiers.

Seeing this, Chen Qiyu couldn't help but start to feel puzzled, these golden soldiers were obviously not here to provoke, and besides, there was no trace of the enemy behind them. Judging from their attire, it is not difficult to see that this is a horse who came to deliver the letter.

Chen Qiyu had already heard about the matter of Tashan, and at this time, Huang Taiji would definitely not dare to send troops to disturb him easily. However, what happened to the three cavalrymen who came straight to Jiayu Pass?

With doubts in his head, Chen Qiyu waited quietly for the arrival of Jin Bing. The three golden soldiers did not dare to get too close, and stopped three hundred meters away from the high city wall of Jiayuguan. After a moment's pause, a man rode forward and came a hundred paces before he stopped.

"Houjin Khan has a letter to send it, hoping to present it to Mao Wenlong's general army to read it personally!" After the cavalry shouted, they directly tied letters to the arrow shafts in front of Chen Qiyu and the others, and then shot them on the city wall.

Seeing that the sharp arrow finally fell on the city wall, the cavalry turned their horses' heads and returned to the other two, waiting for a while, seeing that the Dongjiang army on the city wall did not react, they left in the dust.

The letter was quickly delivered to Chen Qiyu, and the envelope was directly written by Mao Wenlong himself, and the payment was written Houjin Khan.

Chen Qiyu read the letter and found that there was no problem with the sealing paint, so he hid it in his arms. By the time he looked up at the three cavalrymen, there was no trace of them, and only the dust that had been raised was already floating in the air.

After going down the city tower and returning to the city, Chen Qiyu immediately called the herald and ordered him to immediately send the letter to Xi'an and hand it over to Mao Wenlong.

In the backyard of Mao's house, Mao Wenlong has been by his family's side since he came back, and there are too many partings of life and death on the battlefield. Suddenly, he cherished these moments with his family more and more.

The eldest girl is two years old, and the younger son is also one year old, the eldest girl has begun to learn to walk, and the younger son is still in his mother's arms, easily refusing to come down.

When Mao Wenlong first came back, the two children showed the same frightened look when they saw him. The people who returned from the battlefield still had a little murderous aura on their bodies, and they directly scared the two children into tears.

His own child actually saw that he was scared and cried, and Mao Wenlong was very distressed. This also proves that Mao Wenlong spent too little time with them, resulting in the two children not even knowing him, their father.

Fortunately, the blood relationship eventually worked, and two days after returning, Mao Wenlong had completely calmed down. The two children slowly began to accept his existence, and the eldest girl was coaxed by Mao Wenlong with food to shout daddy all day long.

Mao Wenlong was depressed for two days, and his mood improved a lot, and today the weather was rare, so he accompanied the family to play in the garden in this backyard. What is rare is that there is still a Hong Chengchou sitting on the side.

The old guy is now ruddy, and it seems that in the nearly three months since Mao Wenlong left, his little life has been quite moist.

"The old man has something to rely on, and there is little to achieve, and now the old man finally understands why you used to want to live such a peaceful life!" Hong Chengchou looked at the two children playing, and he suddenly spoke to Mao Wenlong beside him.

Hong Chengchou, an old stubborn, actually said such a thing, Mao Wenlong felt quite surprised, he chuckled and said, "It seems that you are really old." ”

When people get old, the enthusiasm and ambition of their youth will gradually fade away, and they will begin to pay attention to the small things around them. Hong Chengchou in front of him has obviously entered this stage, so Mao Wenlong said this.

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It is indeed old, and now the entire north has completely stabilized, and there is no more war." Every day at home, he leisurely lives a happy life with his family, and the old man now feels that the previous days have been in vain. ”

Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly: "Without previous experience, do you think you still have such a feeling now?" ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "You have a point." ”

The huge figure appeared in front of Mao Wenlong at the right time, and said: "Chief soldier, there is a messenger from Jiayuguan from outside the palace, saying that Huang Taiji has sent a letter and needs you to open it in person." ”

"Huang Taiji sent me a letter?" Mao Wenlong muttered, and immediately reached out to Haoda to ask for a letter.

Haoda didn't dare to slack off, and immediately handed over the letter. Mao Wenlong opened the envelope directly in front of everyone, and there were two pieces of letterhead, full of writing. Mao Wenlong watched it for a while before reading it, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Huang Taiji is now desperate." ”

Hong Chengchou was very surprised: "What happened? ”

Mao Wenlong handed the letter to Hong Chengchou, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that the people on this grassland want to spend the winter, and they have to exchange necessary materials from our Daming. Why hadn't I heard of this before? ”

Hong Chengchou quickly looked at the letter, and he smiled bitterly: "In the past, Huang Taiji didn't need to trade materials with the Ming Dynasty at all, but now that he has come to this point, it can be said that he has a lot to do with you." ”

Mao Wenlong was even more puzzled at this time: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Hong Chengchou explained: "In the past, when Huang Taiji was in winter, he would take the materials needed by the herdsmen directly from the Ming Dynasty first, and he would not trade at all. ”

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, and said a little suddenly: "What you mean is that Huang Taiji can't grab the supplies now, so he has no choice but to exchange trade for the herdsmen's winter necessities." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and smiled: "Exactly!" If you think about it, Huang Taiji was driven away by the Dongjiang Army since he hit the Beijing Division, and there was no chance to grab supplies during this period. Now that the cold winter is coming, and the entire north is already under the control of the outside, he does not dare to send troops to fight, so there is only this way. ”

After Mao Wenlong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he laughed: "So, as long as we don't agree to exchange materials with Huang Taiji and them, we can let them lose a lot of money, right?" ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said: "That's right, but don't forget, Huang Taiji mentioned in the letter that if you dare to refuse, he will attack Daming desperately." ”
