"Yuan Hou played a good trick, and deceived my horse super hard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Ma Chao was a little sarcastic when he spoke, and now he felt that the horse he was riding was taller than Yuan Yun's old mare, and even the height of his personality was a few points higher.

Yuan Yun smiled, and then arched his hand and said: "Where did Brother Meng Qi come from, Ben Hou also inadvertently found that there was a cart of shells when he was reining in the baggage camp last night, which came in handy today, but he didn't have time to tell Brother Meng Qi to forgive his sins." ”

Ma Chao's cheeks twitched, and he smiled in an instant: "I think the same way, Yuan Hou is really prepared, but now that the stability has been won, Yuan Hou doesn't know where he will go next?" ”

Is this going to drive people out? Yuan Yun muttered in his heart, and immediately said with a smile: "After counting the grain and grass hoarded in the city, Ben Hou will return to Luoyang immediately, and Brother Meng Qi doesn't have to send it far." ”

Ma Chao laughed and said: "I have seen those grains and grass just now, although a batch was burned, but there is really a lot left, how did Yuan Hou carry it with such a little manpower, I'm afraid a lot of it will be left, it's better to ......"

"Brother Meng Qi is worried, before this, Ben Hou has already sent someone to send a letter back to Luoyang, and at this moment, two thousand soldiers are already coming, and they may have entered the stable realm." Yuan Yun didn't wait for Ma Chao to finish speaking, so he grabbed a sentence with a smile.

Ma Chao frowned slightly, and said, "Yuan Hou is sure that these two thousand people are not laborers, but genuine soldiers?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Naturally, they are warriors, and they are fully loaded, especially with a lot of steel crossbows and gunpowder shells, even if they blow up Anding again, it is not impossible." ”

Ma Chao fell silent when he heard this, his eyes kept scanning Yuan Yun's face, and after a long time, he laughed again, and said: "Since Yuan Hou has someone to pick up the grain and grass, then I won't help, I will let this city out first, and then make arrangements after Yuan Hou leaves." ”

Yuan Yun arched his hand to express his gratitude, and ignored Ma Chao again, but urged the horses to move on, and laughed with Shi Shen beside him from time to time.

When Yuan Yun walked away, Pang De came out, and then said in a low voice: "Just let them go?" They had killed more than 2,000 Qiang warriors on our side before, and the amount of grain and grass was staggering. ”

Ma Chao sighed deeply and said: "I believe that Yuan Yun will not lie to us this time, it must be two thousand gunpowder army soldiers, if they really bring a large number of steel crossbows and gunpowder shells, and the cannon, it is not certain who will die on both of us, and we can't suffer losses here, now that we have won stability, it can be regarded as achieving our goal, and there is no need to make extraneous branches." ”

Pang De shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if this batch of grain and grass falls into our hands, the grain shortage in Xiliang can be greatly alleviated." ”

Ma Chao glanced at the direction Yuan Yun left again, then shook his head with a smile and said: "What should be ours is ours, don't always worry about it if it's not ours, Yuan Yun came to attack Anding this time, and it is estimated that he made up his mind to snatch the grain and grass early in the morning, but unfortunately our spies are not as well-informed as him, so he missed the opportunity to talk about the conditions, no wonder I was still wondering at first, how could this Yuan Yun be so easy to speak, and the entire Anding County was handed away, it turned out that his purpose was this batch of grain and grass." ”

Pang De still seemed unwilling, and said: "It's better for us to continue to disguise Zhang Lu's people to launch a surprise attack, as long as it is sudden enough, there is still a great chance, and afterwards I guarantee that no one will suspect us." ”

Ma Chao shook his head again and said, "Ling Ming, haven't you seen it yet?" Yuan Yun had already taken precautions against us, otherwise how could the two thousand gunpowder army come so quickly, they must be very careful when they return all the way, it is almost impossible for us to surprise us, if we go head-to-head, do you have the confidence to dodge the cannon and gunpowder shells? ”

Pound opened his eyes fiercely, and finally sighed: "Forget it, just feed the dogs with all the food, don't want it, don't want it." ”

Yuan Yun was already standing in front of a huge granary in the city at this moment, and several warehouses in the middle had been burned to the point that they had no shape, but fortunately, the city was broken very quickly, and the soldiers here were not in the mood to burn grain at all, and they all fled.

Looking at the granary as high as a mountain, the corners of Yuan Yun's mouth couldn't help but turn up, with these grains, Luoyang's rations for half a year were solved.

Today's Luoyang is all given priority to workshops, and the cultivated land is only in the development stage, and it will take until the end of this year to have output, and now this batch of Zhang Lu's grain can greatly alleviate Luoyang's ration problem, and the days of always buying grain with food stamps will gradually be eliminated.

This is a process of development, every link is indispensable, and when the north is completely defeated, the grain over there will be able to be sold, at the same time, Luoyang's advanced grain cultivation will also be on track, and to survive the development period of the past few years, is the top priority, so Yuan Yun will gather all kinds of food everywhere, whether it is to cheat or rob, it is simply everything.

Now with this batch of grain left by Zhang Lu as a foundation, Luoyang's stability will be more reliable, at least for half a year.

Li He sealed the granary, and handed over the seal letter to Yuan Yun at this moment, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, after all, there were too many grains, and now that he could receive them safely, he felt a sense of relief.

Yuan Yun glanced at the seal letter in his hand, and then at Li He, who was a little relaxed, and immediately said: "General Zhang Liao sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, he will definitely be able to arrive before this evening, we can't be careless before this, Li He, you still have to work harder, take more brothers to inspect, Ma Chao doesn't know that the number of these grains and grass is better, now that he knows, it is estimated that there will be hair in his heart, we still need to be careful." ”

After explaining Li He, Yuan Yun saw that the Xiliang soldiers were passing slowly with a large number of Zhang Lu's soldiers, and some of them who walked slowly would immediately receive a kick or a whip, in short, it was very miserable.

Yuan Yun frowned when he saw this, and then looked at the periphery of the granary, where Ma Chao was still counting the number of his men, and there were also a large number of prisoners around him who were constantly escorted out of the city.

Yuan Yun kicked off his mount, and walked to Ma Chao's side in such a sway, and immediately asked, "How is Brother Meng Qi going to treat these captives?" ”

Ma Chao was a little stunned, and sent away a few lieutenants who came to report, only to glance at the prisoners in the distance slightly, and then replied with an indifferent face: "Pit kill!" ”

Yuan Yun laughed, and then said very regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Ma Chao was immediately attracted to attention, urged the horses to sit down, and walked to Yuan Yun's side before he wondered: "Since they are defeated prisoners, they have no dignity at all, and Yuan Hou has to take away all the grain and grass in the city, if there is no food, these prisoners may start a riot at any time, and I can't share my military rations to bring them back to Xiliang, I can only pit them all, why is it a pity?" ”

Yuan Yun raised the horsewhip in his hand slightly, pointed at the group of prisoners and said with a smile: "These are all strong laborers, wouldn't it be a pity to kill them all?" ”

Ma Chao sneered and said: "Anding is at the door of Xiliang, but Hanzhong is very far away, even if Zhang Lu wants to come to the rescue, it depends on whether he has the courage, so we don't plan to develop anything in Anding County, as long as we ensure that no one makes trouble, so these strong laborers that Yuan Hou said are just waste for us, and leaving them will become a scourge, but it's a pity that I don't want to think about it." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "That's true, these captives are a burden to you, and it is still a big disaster to stay, Ben Hou just roughly estimated that the number of captives is at least more than three thousand, and it is really terrible for so many people to rebel without food and grass." ”

After agreeing with Ma Chao's idea, Yuan Yun suddenly changed his words and continued: "Then Brother Meng Qi might as well hand over these captives to Ben Hou, and let me take them back to Luoyang, where can I have many positions for hard labor." ”

Ma Chao was silent for a moment, then looked at Yuan Yun carefully, and finally said with a smile: "Since Yuan Hou wants these captives, it also saves me a lot of trouble, but Yuan Hou has already obtained Zhang Lu's grain and grass, and if I take away these strong laborers at this moment, is my Ma Chao too panicked?" ”

Yuan Yun has long known in his heart that if he wants to get this batch of prisoners, he must pay a certain price, and he has already made preparations, that is, to send a batch of grain and grass to Ma Chao, and this matter can be solved satisfactorily, after all, Zhang Lu left too much grain and grass, and his own less than 400 people, even if he adds the 2,000 people brought by Zhang Liao, he still can't transport them all, with this batch of prisoners, it is very different, as long as they are escorted to transport grain, they will be handed over to Jia Xu for brainwashing when they arrive in Luoyang, and then they can join the ranks of workers, perfect.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yungang wanted to promise to give Ma Chao some grain and grass as a price, but Ma Chao had already rushed to speak: "Yuan Hou entertained me before the tea set is very good, if I guess correctly, those are all good glazed ware, I don't want Yuan Hou to be a rich man, the color and appearance of the glazed ware of the whole set of tea sets are so consistent, the price must be expensive, right?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, looked at Ma Chao in a daze for a long time, suddenly smiled, and then replied briskly: "Since Brother Meng Qi likes those tea sets, why didn't you tell Ben Hou earlier, Ben Hou will send someone to send it to you, and a few glass beads are also good, just send them over." ”

Ma Chao felt that Yuan Yun was really not a general, in fact, he was a gentleman, and he could also be called a loser, he actually exchanged such a good glass ware for a useless captive, and he also sent a few more glass beads, these glass ware are very precious, not to mention a complete set of tea sets, which is simply a priceless treasure.

Yuan Yun looks smart, but in fact, he is just a lucky fool.

It's just that when I think of the word stupid, I feel inappropriate, after all, after contacting Yuan Yun in the past few days, the other party is a smart person, otherwise he would not have taken Zhang Lu's grain and grass from his hands so smoothly, and in the end, Ma Chao could only define Yuan Yun as a somewhat benevolent smart person, and he didn't want to see the captives being killed.

Now that he has obtained Yuan Yun's set of glazed tea sets, Ma Chao is already very satisfied, in fact, what he wants most is gunpowder, but three thousand captives want to exchange it for gunpowder, which is simply wishful thinking.

Looking at Ma Chao, who was happily walking away, Yuan Yun suddenly said to Shi Shen beside him: "It seems that when we come out to fight in the future, we will bring more tea sets, glass balls or something, I didn't expect this thing to be so good." ”

Shi Shen nodded, and said: "There are a lot of those things piled up in the mansion, and the fourth lady stares at them like a treasure every day, and she also dug a hole in the ground to put it up, but I was so tired that I dug up the soil for several days, if they knew that these glasses were burned out of the sand of the lord's public, it is estimated that they would definitely drop their eyeballs on the ground." ”

Xiao Liu immediately continued: "Brother Shi Shen, the fourth lady likes these glassware very much, you'd better not tell her where they come from, otherwise she will definitely be angry with you." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and only after pulling the horse's head did he ask suspiciously, "What fourth lady?" ”

After asking, I suddenly remembered Zhen Milai, it seems that this little girl has been recognized by everyone as the fourth lady of the Yuan Mansion, is this too fast?
