Chapter 148: Smell the Strings

Since he has guessed that the real intentions of the Wei family are very likely to be Huijun, Zhang Huan ordered Du Mei to be fully responsible for handling this matter, in order to move the families of the 8,000 troops to Hexi, it is not impossible to make a little concession, and in this way, Duan Xiushi will also be firmly stared at in Lingwu County and cannot move, so that the strategic focus of the Wei family can only temporarily tend to solve Duan Xiushi, but it has its own Xiliang army behind it, and the Wei family will never dare to act rashly, so that the three rings are set together, and the three-legged situation is realized. And the key is to exchange the least price for the maximum benefit. Drunken Dew Academy

On this day, Zhang Huan was reviewing Dumei's plan for the relocation of Hui County, according to which all the materials in Hui County would be transferred to Hexi, and at least 8,000 households of 12,000 households would be relocated to Hexi.

Du Mei has always been a little hesitant about Zhang Huan's decision to give up Huijun, in his opinion, the strategic location of Huijun is very important, it is a bridgehead for the Xiliang army to attack Longyou in the future, it is a pity to give up, but he also understands Zhang Huan's strategy, concentrates on managing Hexi, develops westward, and achieves the righteousness of the DPRK, and does not consider the eastward expansion plan for the time being.

"Governor, I estimate that there are only 6,000 households at most who are willing to move to Hexi, this is still for the sake of giving them 20 acres of land, most of the others have their own land in Hui County, if mobilization is mobilized, 8,000 households should be possible, if you want to think a little more, I'm afraid it will be unrealistic."

"Eight thousand households are enough, no matter how much we can't accommodate in Hexi, even the land of these eight thousand households cannot be granted."

Zhang Huan said while carefully looking at the map of Hexi, most of the land west of the Yellow River was occupied by Tubo, and Wuwei County has always been an enclave of the Tang Dynasty in Hexi, after Xin Yunjing took over Wuwei County, he gradually opened a 30-mile-wide passage to the east, so that Wuwei County could finally border with the Tang Dynasty, but the 30-mile-wide passage was mainly dominated by desert and Gobi, and in the middle was an east-west Wusheling Ridge that separated this passage from the land occupied by Tubo.

Then. Zhang Huan's gaze fell on the easternmost part of the Wusheling Mountains, a place called Huixi Valley, to be precise, it was a narrow piece of land close to the Yellow River. On one side of the drunken dew academy is a steep mountain cliff. On one side is the surging Yellow River, about five miles wide. Diagonally opposite is Huijun, it is the only way to go south along the Yellow River, in the past, Longyou and Hexi were the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and now Tubo occupies the land of Longyou in the west of the Yellow River, and this Huixi Valley has become the actual dividing line between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

"This is it!" Zhang Huan tapped the Huixi Valley on the map with his index knuckle, "I'm going to build a castle here, like this." Even if they return the county to them, they will have this castle. It can not only prevent the Tubo from attacking us from the end to the end, but also monitor the every move of the Huijun, so that Wei Ge does not dare to peep into Hexi. ”

He pointed to the map and went north along the Yellow River, and said with a smug smile: "Even if the Wei family wants to attack Lingwu, we can rely on this castle to cross the river and attack its Huijun. It is also possible to go north along the west bank of the Yellow River to support Lingwu. What does Mr. Du think? "It's a great finishing touch."

Du Mei praised continuously, and the praise was over. He changed his words and said: "In fact, General Xin has thought of it before, but to build a castle on a grand scale, it requires a lot of people and stones, he is short of money, food, and stones, and it has not been completed for several years, and now the general has money in his hands, and we can hire people, but the key is stone, and it takes more than 100,000 square stones to build such a castle, how many stonemasons are needed?" How much time and effort does it take? Have you counted the Governor? With the power of Hexi, this is by no means possible in a year and a half. ”

"Mr. Du thought I didn't expect it?" Zhang Huan smiled a little slyly, he crossed the county with a pen, and said lightly: "It's very simple, if you tear down the city wall of the county, won't there be stones?" ”

After dealing with the affairs of Huijun, it was already dusk, and Pei Ying should come back in two days after tomorrow, Zhang Huan's heart was full of thoughts and expectations for her, and unconsciously he returned to the inner house, since Pei Ying left, he moved to the barracks to live, and rarely came here.

The inner house was very quiet, the old housekeeper and his wife were pruning the flowers and trees in the yard, and there were a few maids dangling in front of the window, they were cleaning the house, Zhang Huan passed through a curved corridor, and the vines on the curved corridor had withered, and hung loosely in the air. Drunken Dew Academy

The corridor is very short and narrow, Zhang Huan just took two steps, and suddenly heard a crisp sound of wearing rings in front of him, and saw Yang Feiyu walking towards him gracefully. Yang Feiyu originally planned to return to Chang'an, but the road was cold and the road was difficult, Pei Ying slightly expressed her intention to stay, and she lived in peace, she lived in a small courtyard next to the inner house, three or four rooms, two maids served, and Pei Ying's bedroom was only separated by a wall.

Maybe Zhang Huan once regarded her as a Tubo internal response, and always had a kind of vigilance against her, but later slowly learned that she actually has a preference for listening to people's walls, especially listening to other people's land**.

After cultivating for nearly a month, Yang Feiyu's appearance has also changed a lot, the dishes on her face have disappeared, becoming white and with a faint flush, her body is also plump, she is tall, her limbs are especially slender, and her waist is twisted slightly exaggerated when she walks, before the age of twenty, her waist is as thin as a willow, and she is like a Lingbo fairy, and the effect achieved is called peerless elegance, although she is now twenty-five years old, her figure is still slender, and she adds some mature femininity, which shows another charm.

Today, Yang Feiyu is obviously specially retouched, her eyebrows are slender like a red color, and her apricot eyes are like a layer of green smoke, which looks a little blurry, especially her lips, which are bright red and dazzling, although the weather is cold, she wears very few clothes, and it seems that she is only wearing a thin pale yellow dress, which vividly shows her tall figure and plump breasts.

She carried a bamboo basket on her arm, and there were a few plums in the bamboo basket, and there were a few plums in the backyard of the inner house, which were now in full bloom, and Pei Ying had been looking forward to it for a long time. The corridor was very narrow and did not allow the two of them to pass, so Zhang Huan retreated first and let her go first.

"Long time no see!" Zhang Huan greeted her with a smile, but Yang Feiyu snorted, raised her head slightly, and seemed to disdain Zhang Huan's greeting, and then a faint fragrance passed by, she twisted her waist and disappeared into a moon door.

Seeing her cold attitude, Zhang Huan shook his head a little puzzled, and then went into the house.

At this time, the night has quietly fallen, the room is dark, Zhang Huan touched the flint and lit the oil lamp, the soft light quickly spread in the room, this is Pei Ying's bedroom, she doesn't like others to come in, she has always cleaned up by herself, the room is very tidy, the ground, the copper mirror are spotless, the shelves against the wall are furnished with some precious porcelain and jade carvings, the shape is simple and thick, the gauze curtain on her bed has been hung, the bedding is neatly folded, not messy, exuding a faint fragrance of orchid, Everywhere shows the elegant taste of the hostess.

There is a rattan chair in front of the window, this is the only thing that belongs to Zhang Huan in the room, the rattan chair is brought by Zhang Huan's personal soldiers all the way from the East Inner Garden, it is his beloved thing, Zhang Huan sat in the rattan chair, savoring the wisps of the room, that familiar feeling, loneliness is like a touch of green smoke, quietly lingering in his heart, his heart is full of memories of the past.

Ding dong! A crisp voice came from afar, which seemed exceptionally clear in the silent night, and then the sound was like flowing water, pouring in, it was the sound of pipa, Zhang Huan suddenly remembered that Pei Ying had said that Yang Feiyu was moving Jinghua with the name of the piano, he slowly closed his eyes and began to listen to the sound of music that had been lost for a long time.

The sound of the pipa is melodious and sad, sometimes urgent as waterfall rain, sometimes dry and difficult, it seems to be narrating a woman's unfortunate life, under the cold moonlight, Yang Feiyu green silk flying, she is drunk and obsessed with plucking the strings, fingers dancing lightly, the sound of the piano is like a heart, she seems to think of her own girlish madness and misfortune.

One summer afternoon, a tall man appeared at her window, holding a half-worn piano, his robe washed white, and his eyes melancholy, she was thirteen years old.

The sound of the pipa suddenly became excited, three years have passed, she has become a violinist, and his eyes are still so faintly melancholy, one day, she completely played the Guangling San who had been practicing for three years, he finally smiled, the smile was so bright, it was so comfortable, it was the smile that happened once in three years, so that her heart was intoxicated, and she fell madly in love with him.

The sound of the pipa became gentle again, as if autumn water passed through the maple forest, and the following years were sweet and calm, and she gradually became famous in Chang'an, with countless suitors, but she still walked side by side with him in the music field, looking for musical inspiration, looking for a tacit understanding between their hearts.

The sound of the pipa is like a song like crying, like smoke like a dream, sometimes tactful, sometimes passionate, sometimes fresh like spring rain, sometimes quiet like the autumn moon, Zhang Huan was deeply moved by the sound of the piano, he remembered his past, remembered that they were leaning against each other in the cave; thought of her sorrow and crying by the Qujiang Pond, and remembered the two-year alliance they made; He thought of her infatuation on a thousand-mile march again, and her love on a tent winter night.

For a while, two feelings were entangled and intertwined in his heart, and the two faces changed alternately in front of his eyes, sometimes it was Cui Ning, who was resentful and helpless, she sobbed softly, the concubine has a deep love for you, when will Huan Lang return? Sometimes Pei Ying pursed her lips and smiled, go sick! I will accompany you to the ends of the earth.

The sound of the pipa suddenly soared and agitated, like an iron horse galloping, like a silver bottle bursting, Yang Feiyu's thoughts had already arrived at the palace draft, and she hurriedly packed up the soft and fled with the pianist overnight.

And Zhang Huan also reached the extreme point of longing, he couldn't wait to split this body in half, half stayed here to wait for Pei Ying to return in the winter night, and the other half flew to Chang'an to wipe away the tears on her face.

Zheng! The string was suddenly broken, as if life and death parted in the troubled times, the night was terrifyingly silent, as if even breathing had stopped, Zhang Huanhuo stood up, at this moment he decided, he didn't have to wait for two years, he would return to Chang'an in the name of debriefing after the New Year.
