The five of them drank until late at night, and they were all happy; Yao Yi and Cheng Yuan went to work the next day, one went to the barracks, and the other discussed the situation with Du Yan all day. Du Yan himself had a lot of workload, and he coped with it for a few days in the way of face, and finally he couldn't get annoyed, so he sent Cheng Yuan to Kou Jiuhui.

Yang Chong waited until Wei Wentong was five days later, and Wei Wentong first arranged for the people who came with him in Dunhuang and let his subordinates live in the military camp, and then rushed to Zhangye non-stop to meet Yang Chong. Yang Chong did not have the slightest unhappiness, love the soldier like a son, victory is complete, a general who loves the soldier like a son will get the support of his subordinates, just like the humanized management of the enterprise in later generations, up and down, employees have a sense of belonging to the enterprise, in order to be able to devote themselves to the work with 200% enthusiasm, and the enterprise in the same boat.

Wei Wentong is still the same, a bit like the legendary Guan Yunchang, but compared to the last time they met, there were a lot more ups and downs, it turned out that Liang Ruolangxing's eyes had a little vicissitudes, and when they met, they said: "Hou Mo Chen Yi and Yu Zhiben let me tell you, the two didn't expect you to let go of such hatred, Hou Mo Chen Yi is willing to start trade with you, and even has been discussing with Shibi Khan, an immigrant with thirty catties of iron, to help you send it to Hexi." ”

Yang Chong smiled, he was able to shake hands with the people of the Chijin Turks and make peace, it was entirely because after Shibi Khan came to power and Murong Fuyun fled to the plateau, the Chijin Turks existed in name only; It is impossible for him to carry out such trade with the Turks, for the sake of iron, Shibi Khan dares to send people across the border to plunder the Han people to sell, then Hexi is not to recruit displaced people, but to be an accomplice of the Turks. Yang Chong put away his smile and said, "Brother Wei, I hope you cheer up, only with ideals in your heart can you see the people below as people." ”

Wei Wentong stared at Yang Chong for a long time, laughed and said, "Yang Chong, you still haven't changed." Until yesterday, I was just looking for a place to stay for those who followed me, and now, I am really willing to go to you. ”

Wei Wentong immediately knelt down to see Yang Chong, and after being pulled up by Yang Chong, Wei Wentong told the truth, Shanggu Dai County was already overcrowded, and the displaced people in Hebei, the refuge tribes outside the Saiwai were crowded in Taihang, and Yanshan could no longer accommodate it. Wei Wentong said worriedly: "Yu Zhiben said that Hou Mo Chen Yi really had this idea, and the hundreds of thousands of Hanhu refugees in the county were like locusts, and the villages outside the city and the small dock forts were all looted, so more homeless people were produced. So as soon as I got your invitation, I arranged to leave, and when Yanmen County was like Daizhou, I couldn't leave if I wanted to. ”

Although Yang Chong had not seen the appearance of Chidi Qianli, he fully understood the tragic situation of thousands of bandits with their families facing twenty times the number of displaced people, and motioned to Wei Wentong and Tuoba Anhu, Yang Ji, and Ye Heilong, who accompanied him, to sit down, Yang Chong said his own idea: "Brother Wei first selected 3,000 people to be organized into the fifth battalion stationed in Dunhuang, all equipped with Turkic armor; The rest joined the Tuntian Army and transferred food supplies from the governor's office. Yang Ji, you find Xue Shang and ask him to help you build the Tuntian School and literacy class. ”

Yang Ji agreed: "No problem, Xiaogu City has been built, which can accommodate two thousand people, and I have seen eight villages around the city, each accommodating two hundred households, and when all the villages are connected, it will be a small city of six or seven thousand people." In addition, we found two old Great Wall on the way from Xiaogu City to Juyan, and prepared to build two more forts. ”

Wei Wentong came all the way from Juyanhai and understood that Yang Chong wanted to regain control of the Juyan area, so he asked: "Chief, after the troops have been cultivating for a month, I will take people to Juyanhai to guard the town." ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "That's Yang Ji's territory, I don't dare to let you get involved, but you have to step up the training of the army, and I will find you in a month." Ye Heilong, let Shan Xiongxin send someone to Wei Wentong's military camp to help train five hundred strong crossbowmen, and then you look for Meng Kunpeng to see if you can transfer two hundred giant crossbows to the fifth battalion. ”

Wei Wentong rode for half his life, knowing that Yang Chong's arrangement was a prelude to the war, and immediately stepped up his training after returning and received supplies from everywhere; Sure enough, after the fifth battalion was rectified for half a month, Wei Wentong received an order to lead the troops to Zhangye with Shan Xiongxin.

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is still a little wet and cold, the reed flowers are undefeated on the winter solstice, the big trees are inexhaustible, and the black tree tied to the war horse is still a little bit of white oak hidden in the branches; A few bushes of wild plums on the side of the road have bloomed, bright red, making the variegated turf look a little gray, not at all like the slaughter of the north. The river was not frozen, and the small boats were still coming and going slowly, and from time to time there were two or three shouts of the captain.

Yu Juluo looked at the note in his hand with a gloomy face, which said that Liang Jingzhen, the head of Dali, had come to arrest his father and son, and that this mysterious person advised him to escape, telling him that returning to Luoyang was a dead word. As a veteran of the battlefield, Yu Juluo understands that notes will not be scribbled. Yu Juluo thought that the rebels could not be pacified in a year and a half, and he was worried that the road would be cut off in the future, and it would be difficult for the father and son to see each other again, so he took advantage of the time when the house slaves were transporting grain to the eastern capital, and secretly took back the three sons.

The eldest son, Yu Jinyi, asked cautiously, "Father, what should I do?" ”

Yu Juluo looked at the other two sons, Yu Jinlu and Yu Jinlu, and said: "The messenger is very scary, it seems that he is sitting on the side and watching me play with Luoyang, but this person has no malice, he drew a road map for escape." You say, why did the Son of Heaven kill me? ”

The subordinate general Tao Ba said: "General, you were impeached by the imperial history to befriend the minister of the court and the central government as a county general, and you were removed from your post together with Liang Boyin, you are not a secret in the army and the court, how can you not be suspicious." The most important thing is that Liang Jingzhen, a famous cool official and general, if he is captured in Luoyang, the result can be imagined. ”

Tao Ba is the person who helps Yu Juluo sell food, and if something happens to Yu Kuluo, Tao Ba will definitely not be able to pass the test; Tao Ba didn't want to die, why could the scholars do the grain business, but not the soldiers themselves. That mysterious note made Tao Ba see hope, as long as Yu Juluo escaped, he could follow and escape, so he tried his best to persuade him; Yu Jinlu reminded: "Could it be a trap, just to kill my father?" ”

Yu Juluo said with a light in his eyes: "No, after the other party sent the letter, he didn't wait for me to reply at all, so he couldn't go back and pre-arrange, now Liang Jingzhen still has three days to go, how to escape I have a choice." I'll go to Huangluling, but I choose my own route, and if it's really a dead end, I'll let the ambush people pay the price. ”
