When Guan Jin came in again, he was full of smiles, different from Liang Shuo's appearance of a strategist, Guan Jin's demeanor had a little bit of a Jianghu atmosphere. Guan Jin was indeed entrusted by Li Rail to come, and when Yang Yichen returned to Chang'an and passed by Wuwei, he showed people the Poor Zijia, and Li Rail moved his mind; After Guan Jin finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Li Dalang is willing to pay 12,000 yuan to buy a pair of armor that is the same as Yang Duhu." ”

Yang Chong said with a smile: "I am short of these 12,000 guan? ”

Guan Jin hurriedly leaned down and said, "Your Excellency is serious. Li Dalang knew that the adults loved the people like sons, and he paid for the continuous delivery of grain from Guanzhong, and Li Dalang was willing to participate in the grand event and buy all the 12,000 yuan of grain and transport it to Gaochang, about 600,000 catties of rice and millet. ”

Yang Chong said unceremoniously: "400,000 catties of rice, 200,000 catties of millet, delivered in Nanping City." ”

Now that a pound of millet has risen to five yuan, a pound of rice has risen to twenty-five yuan, and the price will rise later, Yang Chong can only make a decision immediately; Guan Jin nodded, Yang Chong left a thousand guan for freight, which is a more reasonable number, is it an official, you always have to be clever when doing business with civilians. Yang Chong saw that Guan Zhen agreed, and said with satisfaction: "Li Liang is worthy of being a grain merchant, and when the business is over, I will give you and Li Liang a turtle horse for each person, which will be counted as a reward for the people of Gaochang." ”

A turtle horse is worth two or three hundred yuan, Guan Jin's face was straight, he knew that he wanted to be crooked, and he got up and saluted: "Thank you, sir." ”

Knowing that Liang Shuo stayed as an official, Guan Jinhe was overjoyed, then took his leave and rushed back to Wuwei to restore his life, Yang Chong motioned for Kou Jiuhui to sit down and said, "Guess what, why did Li Liang buy a Qizi Jia?" ”

Kou Jiuhui thought for a while and said: "Lord Liang said, Li Liang wants to join the army, and he can at least buy a Wu Baichang for 12,000 yuan, even if he envy Qi Zijia again, he shouldn't be in a hurry to complete this business, and he won't even pay back the price." ”

Liang Shuo said cautiously: "Military generals all like treasure armor, maybe Li Liang is going to give it to which general for promotion." ”

Yang Chong said appreciatively: "Guess again, who will it be given to?" ”

Liang Shuo and Kou Jiuhui were stunned, this range was too big, Liang Shuo tried to ask, "Could it be that adults have a goal in their hearts?" ”

Yang Chong nodded and said, "We can make a guess, if you want to get ahead in the army, wouldn't it be more convenient for Li Liang to ask me directly for an official position; If Li Rail just wants to stay in Wuwei and enter the army to change his identity, then Li Rail is known as the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families, and he has a lot of fame in Wuwei, so he doesn't need to be so generous at all. So I estimate that the object of Li Liang's gift is not in Longyou, not Chang'an, but in Saibei. ”

Liang Shuo said movingly: "What do you mean, Li Liang has a connection with Saiwai?" ”

Yang Chong said calmly: "Shibi Khan is ambitious and thirsty for virtue, and Saibei may not be a good place to go. Let's wait and see, if Li Liang is only trying to make a name for himself in Wuwei Yingyang Mansion, the target is Saibei; Otherwise, you should take the treasure armor and go to a higher way out in Luoyang, Chang'an. ”

Shi Daqian played for a few days, and after attending Yang Chong's wedding, he returned to the county with gifts to restore his life; Yang Chong and Jiang Fei held a simple wedding, Feng Qiquan and Zhang Guolao attended the ceremony as elders of both sides, and the gift of the Gaochang Shi clan was rejected by Yang Chong, and Yang Chong asked them to fund a school for poor children to study on the edge of the Gaochang Library, enrolling fifty people every year. Later, Jiang Xuan, the chief treasurer of the Turpan Commercial Bank, took a batch of goatskins and horses back to Chang'an, and the person in charge of the trading house was replaced by Yang Chong's original bodyguard, Kou Jiuhui.

As for the several military officers sent by the imperial court, Liu Chongli, a soldier and a military officer, and Pei Tao, a military officer of Cao Cao, handed in their resignations before leaving Chang'an; Gao Gong died of illness, and Gong Cao participated in the military Gao Sheng Dao Ding worry for three years, and submitted his resignation to Gaochang County; Only Cang Cao participated in the military and Helan Yi came to Gaochang to report. Helan Yi was not interested in the battle between the government and the inner government, what he cared about was Wang Ting's jujube red horse, and he knew that he had no intersection with Yang Chong before, so he asked Yu Qinzhang, who he knew, for advice.

Yu Qinzhang said indifferently: "Brother Yang has a good horse, I will go with you to see him later, and let him give you one." But I warn you, Brother Yang is not very concerned about money and power, but he takes Yang Fengyin and the rules of the army very seriously, you must not be smart, come and tell me if you have something. ”

Helan Yi sneered: "Brother, I'm not Gao Shengdao, nor am I the four tyrants of Guanzhong, I'm just here to mix up my resume, if I can follow Yang Chong to get a credit, that's the best." ”

Yu Qinzhang really found an opportunity to tell Yang Chongyi that Yang Chong would not care about this thing, no matter how he said that He Lanyi was also Qu Tutong's person, he simply gave Helanyi a green-maned horse, which made Yu Qinzhang feel more face-saving. Helan Yi was relieved at the moment, Yang Chong was not like the legend in Guanzhong, as long as he didn't die, he was still very easy to get along with.

More than a month later, the grain trade ended, Guan Jin returned to Wuwei County with Qi Zijia, and Li Liang disappointedly became a small soldier in Yingyang Mansion. However, the vision of Yang Chong and his wife is enviable, the millet has risen to eight wen a catty, and the rice has risen to thirty-five wen a catty, and the 600,000 catties of rice and 400,000 catties of millet in the hands of the two have already passed the 20,000 guan mark, which is enough for more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Nanping City to eat for two to three months.

In the following months, the news from the Central Plains became worse and worse, and Wang Bo's song "Song of the Death of the Liaodong Waves" spread all over the northern land, and grain grabbing and resisting donations continued to occur in various places; Yanmen thief Wei Wentong gathered 3,000 people, and fought Yang Boquan with Yingyang Zhonglang in Mobi Valley, and fled after defeat; Maitreya Sect arose in Huashan in Xiyue, and was broken by the Taiziwei, and thousands of people were imprisoned. Therefore, Yang Chong implemented grain control in Gaochang County, only allowing people to enter but not to leave, and asked all counties and towns to begin to find out the situation of grain storage among the people.

This morning, as soon as Helan Yi entered the office, he was found by Fang Xuanling, and got an astonishing news, it was reported back by Meng Tuo's detailed work, Baishan Tiele more than 10,000 iron horses had gone down the mountain, the target was Gaochang City, and there were more than 30,000 tribes of various tribes behind, except for the two tribes of Wuhu and Sugu, the remaining nine tribes were going all out. As a result of the complementary trade in coal and salt, the Wuhu and Sugu tribes accumulated a large amount of supplies, and their living conditions significantly exceeded those of the other tribes, which made the largest tribe of Qibi angry and determined to change reality.

Yang Chong, Sikong Xing is waiting for this day, can not kill out, can only wait for the other party to pounce, just one day, Si Kong Xing led Suo Yanshou, Xie Yingdeng, Wei Chi Gong, Han Qi, Long Shanming five battalions to Gaochang City, and then gathered Yuwen Chengdu, Yu Qinzhang, Xifeng Changshan three departments, a total of 6,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry took the initiative to meet the north. Shi Cao Shen Military Wang Ting served as the deputy marshal, and attacked with the army, and Cang Cao Shen Military He Lanyi and Cao Shen Military Ye Heilong were responsible for the transportation of military rations and materials.
