It was already late autumn, and it was colder than the Central Plains. The cold wind from the north blew over the grass, and the grass was frozen to death and withered in an instant. Picky eaters take a bite and use their tongues to push out the hay they have just eaten into the qΓΉ. After three days without eating, hunger eventually replaced pickiness. Although the withered grass is unpalatable, if it stutters, if it starves to death, it will not be able to row.

Thorn also wore a snow-white bearskin cloak and sat tightly by the river. Obviously, his Cuihua's craftsmanship is not as good as Dong Qian's, although the style is the same, the workmanship is much rougher. There were teapots and tea bowls on the small table in front of them, and the charcoal fire and kettle were put together, and the water had not been boiled after boiling for a long time. Thorn has never liked tea, and only has a soft spot for the two pots that Su Ren treasured. It's a pity that he doesn't have it in his hand, and at this time, he suddenly remembered why he forgot to ask Su Ren to bring two jars of wine when he sent someone earlier.

The tea leaves are placed in the teacup early, and the wind blows in the open teacup. Thorn was not in a hurry, shaking his head and moving his head to a somewhat stiff neck. Since he promised Su Ren to subdue the Taihang bandits, he has rarely been as casual as he is now. The unconvinced bandits had to be beaten, and the disobedient Huns had to be beaten, and they spent every day on horseback, which made the thorns a little tired.

Old Heita raised his hand and pointed to the distance: "Wolf Lord, here!" I didn't expect that Mr. Su to dare to come! ”

Thorn didn't look at it, stretched out his hand from his cloak, roasted it on the fire, and found that there were many other things in the tea bowl besides the tea leaves, so he frowned and poured out the tea leaves reluctantly: "You losers, do you know how expensive these Shu tea is, why do you put it in the tea bowl so early?" It's a shame that they all have to fall. ”

The creeper is a short man, and he is long and obscene, so he is basically the one who serves the thorns. Seeing that the thorns had poured the tea leaves, he immediately rushed over to pick them up, and the thorns were even more raw, and he raised his feet: "It's okay for others, but not for this Mr. Su, this kid has a habit of cleanliness, not to mention the tea he picked up, he doesn't want the gold he picked up!" ”

The distance from Mayi City to the river was not very long, and Su Ren and the others were all riding horses, and they were close in a blink of an eye. When he saw Thorn's rough face, Su Ren was completely relieved. When he heard Sang Hongyang say that he was a horse thief, Su Ren already had some premonitions. But he couldn't be sure that the thorns were scaring him. Thorns is cautious and realistic, so childish to gather his men in Mayi, if they meet an ignorant person to report to Yanmen Pass, soon the Han army will be able to surround them.

Around the thorns gathered a circle of big men, each with a scimitar hanging from their waists, holding a halberd in their hands, and behind them were all the strongest war horses. On the surface, it looked majestic, but Su Ren still found a problem. Because there were very few people walking back and forth in the camp, even the horse thieves on patrol were hunched around their necks and hands.

Thorn shook off his cloak and greeted him with a big smile: "Su boy, how is the scene of Lao Tzu?" Did it scare you? Hahaha......"

Su Ren ignored him, turned around and asked Huang Shisan to go back to Ma Yi to report the news first, so as not to worry everyone. Throwing the reins of the horse to the brute bull, a pair of eyes only looked left and right, the expression on his face was not very good, and his brows were furrowed deeply.

Thorn was helpless: "What's wrong?" What to see? ”

"Look at your army! Late autumn is the fattest time for the Huns' livestock, but you brought someone here for me to review, I have to give some face, why am I here, the soldiers and horses are not ready for the parade? ”

"Review? What to review? ”

"That's what you call the school, look at your strength, look at the strength of your soldiers and horses, what's wrong? Just these few people pulled out to show off, and the others are crooked melons and cracked dates? ”

Thorn laughed: "That's my soldier, why do you want to show it?" ”

"Why don't you show this posture? Guarding outside the city of Mayi is scary? Do you know how much money I've lost in the past few days? Saying it scares you to death! ”

Thorn still had a slight look on his face: "Say, I'll compensate you!" ”

"That's what you said! Brute, bring the ledger to our wolf lord to see! ”

The tea is not very good, and the wind is strong by the river. In front of Su Ren, a majestic wolf lord seemed to have changed a person. That Mr. Su's cynicism, his wolf lord responded with such a smile, and personally poured tea for Mr. Su, which was completely dwarf-like. And this Mr. Su was unrelenting, and his words became more and more scathing.

The old black tower really couldn't listen to it, and wanted to step forward but was gently pulled by the flying harrier, and shook his head at the old black tower. Old Blacktower sighed and returned to his ranks.

Su Ren took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, put away his sour and mean face, looked at the group of big men standing behind the thorns, and asked, "How many people?" ”

Thorn leaned back and leaned comfortably on the back of his chair: "About 30,000, all of them are young and strong, and they have all killed people!" However, there are still about 50,000 women and children left in the mountains, and these people still have to find a way to settle them properly, and we can't rely on us. ”

"Why don't you go down the mountain? The original village should still be there, and I can explain to the emperor that I am not to blame for the past and send someone to take care of it. ”

Thorn shook his head: "I can't go back, I am a thief for one day and a thief for life, even if I go down the mountain, I will be looked down upon, not to mention that those people are used to living on the mountain, and they are not suitable for being restrained." ”

Su Ren nodded: "Then what are you going to do?" All the things that were snatched up during this time were sent to the mountains, right? ”

Thorn smiled: "I'm not you, I don't have the ability to penetrate the world, I can only solve it by brute force." ”

"That's it, I'll tell Lao Cui, let the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce find something to do for those people, it's impossible to be rich, at least you won't starve to death."

Thorn said: "That's what I mean, come, replace wine with tea, thank you first." ”

The old black tower and the others behind the conversation between the two heard it clearly. For the old and weak who remained in the mountains, they knew what was going on. In their opinion, it was a tricky question, but they didn't expect this young man to take it over in a few words, and it sounded like the wolf lord was very satisfied with this person's approach. Four people, you look at me, I look at you, although they still doubt Su Ren, they believe in the judgment of the wolf lord.

The creeper served more diligently, but when Su Ren's cup was empty, he immediately stepped forward to fill it. Su Ren turned his head and glanced at the creeper, and said to the thorns: "Where to go next?" I heard that the nearby Huns have been almost plagued by you, and you will have to go a little further, so I will build yΓ¬ for you to go west along the Great Wall, and if you encounter a situation that you can't deal with, there is still room to turn around. ”

Thorn smiled: "Don't worry about this, this time we brought two thousand horses, can you eat them?" ”

"Only 2,000 horses? I thought there would be at least 10,000 horses! ”

Thorn couldn't help but laugh: "We are horse thieves, why don't you even let our horses go?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Two thousand horses is two thousand horses, after the delivery, whether you ask for money or exchange for food, you can do it, but I will say that in the front, the cost of helping those women and children in Taihang Mountain must also come out of your seizures!" ”

"Okay! Doing business with you is fun! When you're done with business, you can talk properly. ”

Thorn's efficiency is still very high, and it only took half a year to gather the bandits of Taihang Mountain together with a pair of fists. And also pulled out a team of 30,000 people, as long as they were allowed to crisscross the steppe for a year, it would definitely become a thorn in the heart of the Huns. These people were Su Ren's most hated move, he wanted to make the Xiongnu tired and focus on dealing with horse thieves.

Su Ren is still very optimistic about the combat strength of Thorn's subordinates, as long as he does not meet the main force of the Huns, there is no problem in dealing with those small tribes. Moreover, the grassland area is vast, and sometimes there will be no people for dozens of miles, which gives the thorns the most favorable guarantee of survival. As long as these 30,000 people of Thorns wandered in the steppe, the Huns would not dare to go all out to fight against the Great Han.

Of course, there are risks associated with this, and if the Thorns grow to an unparalleled level on that day, there may be something else in mind. That's why Su Ren went to help them take care of the women and children in Taihang Mountain, and provided logistical support. This is done to control this group of horse thieves, if it reaches the point where it must be eliminated, as long as the supply is cut off, it will not be long before this group of horse thieves will disappear.

Thorns didn't see Su Ren's sinister intentions, and the old black tower and their rough people didn't know it even more. When 2,000 horses entered the Mayi, the horse thieves on the other side of the river left the Mayi with grain and other supplies. As for the coming of these people, Su Ren did not say. Those who know the inside story don't ask, and those who don't know the inside story don't dare to ask.

The city of Mayi returned to its former prosperity, and after several days of worry, Yan zhΓ²ng affected the business of Mayi. The momentum of these days of accumulation exploded in full swing on the first day of Kaesong. The shouting on the street was loud, and the noise made Su Ren feel a little irritable. Ying Guangji and Mo Yu haven't come back yet, Su Ren doesn't care about their life and death, only where they go, or what they do.

After Su Ren's guidance, the soup cakes made by the old Fengjia soup cake shop became more and more delicious. A large bowl of broad soup cakes is topped with a spoonful of boiled crispy pork, sprinkled with some green vegetables, and cooked in hot oil, and the aroma immediately comes out. Lao Feng is a very good businessman, and his soup cakes are not only delicious, but also large in quantity, which is very affordable for those porters who rely on their strength to earn money. So when it comes to meals, Lao Feng's soup cake shop is always overcrowded.

Su Ren sat near the street, and Huang Shisan and Manniu on the opposite side had already put a big bowl of soup cakes into their stomachs, and there was still more than half of Su Ren's bowl. Huang Shisan glanced at Su Ren, and Su Ren directly pushed the remaining soup cakes to him, which made the brute envious.

Seeing that Su Ren had finished eating, Lao Feng brought a bowl of noodle soup over and gently placed it in front of Su Ren: "Sir, today's rice is not delicious?" ”

Su Ren smiled and shook his head: "It's good, it's just that I don't have much appetite these days." ”

"Oh! In this case, the gentleman can pay some attention, I heard that the Holy Medical Hall has received several patients with bad stomach in the past few days, and they are all Huns, and I don't know what unclean things they have eaten. Lao Feng smiled: "But don't worry, the food here is very clean, and the food that Mr. eats is still made by Lao Yu himself, and there will definitely be no problems." ”
