Chapter 2: Stirring Dreams

It may be an exaggeration to say that his name is known to everyone in the four towns of Anxi, but it is easy to spread it through the mouths of everyone, and the most important medium is the merchants.

Hu Xuan Town is on the side of the trade road, the later generations of the Xinjiang Qiang Highway is from here, across the complex terrain, extremely high altitude Kunlun Mountain, become the most important passage into the Qiang in the early period of New China, with the conditions at that time, are called difficult, let alone in the middle of the eighth century AD.

Liu Ji didn't care about Wang Tao's reaction, he asked Zhang Wuyuan and Xu Guangjing to take the soldiers into the city with Wang Tao's subordinates, but he and Yang Huzi stood there and looked at it with interest.

In front of you is a typical Tang military town, the main city spans the middle of the mountain road, guarding the main road out of the mountain, the city wall is about four meters high, all of them are made of mountain stones, the middle is filled with pulp, there are many small forts around, in order to make up for the loopholes in the defense, from the point of view of size, the garrison inside will not exceed 1,000 people, except for the Tang army soldiers in bright armor, you can't see the figures dressed by ordinary people, it should be a relatively pure military city.

"You should be careful, when he hears your name, he is too late to stammer, how can he be so polite."

"Your Lao Tzu is the chief official here, he should give you face, as for so-and-so, just passing by, why bother with language."

Liu Ji pointed to the mountain road and said: "You see, from this road over the Kunlun Mountain, is the Qiangtang, leading to Zhangxiong, Nepal is much closer than the detour of the Green Ridge, although this road is sparsely populated, it can still be done, the two countries strike a truce, is the best opportunity for businessmen, master the trade route, then master the money bag, although this place is small, but as a throat, for the future to do things conveniently, you may as well envelop one or two about this person." ”

"If you want to take a fancy to it, just replace it with your own family, isn't it just a matter of the old man's words, what does Fei Nashen do."

Yang Yu said disappreciatively: "If you want to say that this business route is not passable, there is a special person at home to take care of it, how did you become a fan of money when you come back this time, and talk about profits everywhere?" ”

"You are in the gate, how do you know the hard work of civilians, it is not easy to live in Chang'an, why don't you spend money?" Liu Ji naturally couldn't understand his son-in-law style.

"Cut, aren't you?" Yang Yu suddenly thought of something, and mysteriously lowered his voice.

"When I came from Luoqi City, it was rumored in the city that the family of the Tubo people had been emptied by you, and I didn't have time to ask Zhangxiong, would there be any obstacle to this?"

"Didn't you see that if you don't move away those belongings, won't it be cheaper for others, what does your old man say?"

Liu Ji didn't avoid him at the beginning, it was left to Yang He and even Feng Changqing and others to see, Anxi Town was his family, and everyone almost shared the same interests, and joined forces to do the thing of the envoy and tied everyone to a rope, so he would blatantly swallow the entire wealth, of course there will be their share.

If people are in trouble together, won't he be blessed to share? There are contacts and contacts, and the relationship will become closer, the meaning of this, Yang Yu may not be able to figure it out, but Yang He, who is old and refined, can definitely see through, what Liu Ji wants is his attitude, tie the Yang family in Hexi to the car, and it will be much more convenient to do things.

"He didn't say anything, just let so-and-so get closer to you in the future, isn't this nonsense?"

Liu Ji shook his head with a smile, he didn't say anything, that is, he said everything, and specially reminded him that Yang Yu would figure it out sooner or later, there is no need for him to point fingers, sometimes he is a good teacher, but it will cause disgust from others, especially between friends.

"Let's go, I've been running for a long time, I'm tired and tired, it's right to go into the city to rest."

He patted Yang Pre's arm, and the two of them walked into the city together, the sergeants who had entered the city earlier had already taken care of everything, and the brazier was burned in the house prepared for them, and it was still a little cold at this time, especially on the side of the mountain.

What people didn't expect was that Yang Pre said casually, Wang Tao really had to find a few women for them, Liu Ji is not a chick, just look at the other party's style, you know that it is not a dusty woman, maybe it is the family of the soldiers.

The two of them made the same reaction, and hurriedly sent people back, there are still some obstacles to doing this kind of thing of taking people's wives and daughters, and besides, they have worked hard all the way, where is there still the mind to find flowers and ask willows, wash their bodies and sleep, is what they want to do most at this moment.

This night, Liu Ji slept very deeply, I don't know how long it took, he was awakened by the sudden noise, and quickly got up and pushed the door open, and suddenly there was a large firelight in front of him.

"Where did the horses come from?"

Yang Yu woke up almost at the same time as him, his eyes were still a little confused, and Liu Ji had already seen the banner of the incoming army.

"It's the Beiting Cavalry."

On the main street in the city, Wang Tao was arguing with some generals, and he kept explaining to each other.

"So that the king will know that the city is already small, and there are only so many houses, and those who arrive first have already fallen asleep, so it is not good to invite them out again, let the headquarters give up a few rooms, and let you live first, and there is no way to do more."

"What kind of birds and horses, Lao Tzu came all the way from the capital of the Tubo people, and all the people under his command are sleepy and lacking horses, where can they live in a few houses, is it difficult, and they have to camp in the wild? Even if you are willing, you have to agree to it. ”

"It's extreme, let them all come out, let us all out, and we'll be able to do it all."

"Phew, Lao Tzu was born and died outside, and when he returned to his own territory, he couldn't even live in a stone house, believe it or not, a fire burned down your village, and the lawsuit went to the capital to protect the house, and Lao Tzu was not afraid."

......

Wang Tao was pushed around by these people arrogantly and rudely, he was just a town general, he had no right to refuse, and the number of people who came from the other party was quite large, and the city could not be placed at all.

"What is the noise, it disturbs Lao Tzu's good dreams."

Yang Yu scolded and walked over, stood behind Wang Tao, and glanced at the general led by him with his eyes slanted, but he was teaching Wang Tao a lesson in his mouth.

"You don't know anything either, the border city is heavy, how can you let people in at will, what if it is a captive who steals the city in disguise?"

"Blind your dog's eyes, Lao Tzu is the Han Navy under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Dadu Protectorate, and this is our military envoy."

"Yo, which tail is not hidden, exposing you, this is Anxi!"

Yang Yu shouted, and the defenders around him surrounded him, Wang Tao took a step back and pushed him to the front: "It's not the turn of the North Court to spread the wilderness." ”

"We are on the expedition under the edict, and we have the responsibility of receiving help along the way, do you dare to close the door?"

"I'm sorry, the person who received me in the city is my Anxi Army, and I don't have your place."

Yang Yu sneered and stared into his eyes without giving way.
