Jiang Hexing was drinking tea under the walnut tree, knowing that he couldn't stop screaming, Xu Lang and the others had already settled down and went back to rest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sun in the west is still scorching, and outside the shade of the trees, the heat wave is rolling, and the heat is faintly rising.

Outside the door, the war horse neighed, and the river was nervous, how could anyone dare to come here to provoke. A few of the soldiers beside Jiang Hexing held their swords in their hands, and their eyes stared straight out of the door.

After a while, all the people outside got off their horses, and a big man walked in.

Jiang Hexing took a look, recognized, Chen Mao. Chen Mao led the group and walked inside, shouting as he walked: "Heshun, congratulations." ”

Jiang Hexing greeted him with a smile, and said as he walked, "General Chen, that fragrant wind has blown you here." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Mao and said, "General Chen, it's as cool as water here, why don't you take a break here?" ”

Chen Mao laughed and said: "It's still Heshun Hou who is understanding, I can't stay in the hot house, why do you want to enter the house, let's talk here." ”

As they spoke, they came to the walnut tree. Chen Mao sat down loudly, then looked at the chair he sat down and said, "Hey, it's better to do this, like riding a horse, hahahaha." ”

Jiang Hexing handed over the tea, Chen Mao drank it in one gulp, Jiang Hexing poured another cup, handed it to Chen Mao and asked, "General Chen, you are well-informed enough, you know that we are here so soon?" ”

Chen Mao put the teacup on the black table, and said with a smile: "Heshunhou, I am in charge of the ground of the Jingshi, can you still hide it from me?" ”

Jiang Hexing also laughed, pointed at Chen Mao and said, "General Chen, be bold." ”

Chen Mao said: "I knew you were here yesterday, so I wanted to come and talk to you, and I only found time this afternoon." Recently, I've been thinking about my righteous brother Ma Yuan, how he has been fighting recently, I miss him every day. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "Ma Yuan should have marched to the west of the Xiongnu recently, aren't you worried about him?" ”

Chen Mao smiled and pointed to the river: "Wait for Heshun." I admire you for employing people, my brother-in-law, at such an old age. Commander of one side. I believe in him, though. ”

Jiang Hexing said: "If there is any shortcoming, please also ask General Chen to give Ma Yuan some guidance." ”

Chen Mao: "Don't dare to give advice, I came here today, in fact, I still have something to ask for." ”

Jiang Hexingdao: "What do you want?" Although. ”

Chen Mao pointed to the east. Jiang Hexing looked at it, it was a four-wheeled carriage used by Xu Lang to pick up Yangxiong in the morning.

Jiang Hexing said: "You like this carriage, don't you?" I'll give you one, it's more comfortable to keep than the current carriage. ”

Jiang Hexing glanced at the soldiers, and the soldiers went over and pulled the carriage over.

Chen Mao and the others stood up, looked around the carriage, went up and tried it again, put on the horse, and were in the yard. Took a turn.

Chen Mao got out of the car and came under the tree again to drink some water and wipe his sweat.

Jiang Hexing asked, "General Chen, how is it?" ”

Chen Mao said: "Great, not only is it stable, but I think it can also load a lot of goods." It's really good. And by the way, I think this can be loaded with a thousand pounds, right? ”

Jiang Hexing said: "This big one can hold three thousand catties, but the horse is harder, and the road is better." ”

Chen Mao stepped forward. Hold on tightly to the river. Chen Mao's strength was incomparable, and Jiang Hexing felt like two huge pliers firmly clamping him, unable to move at all.

Jiang Hexing hurriedly said, "General Chen, let go." Let go. ”

Chen Mao found that he was too excited, so he hurriedly let go, and Jiang Hexing's body shook and almost fell.

Chen Mao's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Heshun, I see that this car is of great use." I'm really excited, please forgive me. ”

Jiang Hexing smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "General Chen, don't worry, I don't have many cars here, I guess I can give you one." ”

Chen Mao said: "Thank you and wait for you first, but I mean I want to hand it over to the imperial court and let the imperial court do some, so that it will be much more convenient for us to transport military rations." ”

Chen Mao is worthy of being a general, first look at the military use of this car, it is estimated that it will not take too long to find out the other military uses of this car.

Jiang Hexing thought that if this thing could be promoted, it would be a great achievement, so he nodded and said, "That's it, General Chen, I'll give you this car, and you will handle it later, what do you think?" ”

Chen Mao nodded again and again, and said with a deep salute: "Xie He is a generous gift, if there is a reward from the imperial court, I, Chen Mao, will definitely not forget and wait." ”

Jiang Hexing smiled slightly and said, "General Chen is polite, we will have more opportunities to deal with each other in the future." ”

Chen Mao said: "Yes, yes." ”

Chen Mao did not stop for a long time, saying that he was very busy with military affairs, so he hurried away with the carriage.

After Chen Mao left, there was nothing to do in the Barbarian Pavilion, so he accompanied Yangxiong here every day, and Yangxiong was also very happy here.

The days passed quickly, five days passed in a blink of an eye, and Fan Jia, DuPont and other businessmen were still busy running around Chang'an every day.

On this day, the weather was unusually hot, Jiang Hexing was taking advantage of the cold in the courtyard, looking at the information sent by Zheng Yi's subordinates, everything was undisturbed.

Especially a few months ago, the army marched westward, and the river was extremely relieved.

Jiang Hexing was looking at the information, and the soldiers next to him reminded: "He Wang, do you want to go into the house to rest for a while." ”

Jiang Hexing raised his head and looked at the sky to the south, dark clouds were rolling and pressing towards this side. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the sky, followed by a muffled thunder.

The wind blew the sand and stones, Jiang Hexing hurriedly entered his room, just entered the house, crackling, and the raindrops outside rushed to the ground.

The room was damp and dark, and the soldiers lit candles. Jiang Hexing stood at the door, watching the heavy rain outside the house, and the blisters on the ground chasing and jumping repeatedly.

At this moment, a personal soldier ran in and reported that Chen Mao had visited.

Jiang Hexing was very surprised, this Chen Mao had the heart to visit him after such a heavy rain, it seemed that there was something important.

Before Jiang Hexing could move, Chen Mao had already run into the house, dressed in casual clothes, soaking wet, his clothes were close to his body, and he kept dripping.

Jiang Hexing waved his hand at the pro-soldiers, and the pro-soldiers went in to find a few large plain clothes, and led Chen Mao to change his clothes in the house.

After a while, Chen Mao changed his clothes and came to Jiang Hexing. Jiang Hexing said with a smile: "General Chen, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Chen Mao said: "Heshun, I have something to ask for, I don't know if Heshun is willing to appreciate the light?" ”

Jiang Hexing said: "I don't have many carriages here, if you still want it, I'll write a letter and ask Pingzhou to send a few, but it will take a while, do you think it's okay?" ”

Chen Maoyi waved his hand and said: "It's not a way to always trouble and wait, what I came here today is to ask him to go out with me." ”

Jiang Hexing was very surprised, I am the vassal king outside, you are the general in charge of the ground of the capital division, what are you doing when you let me go out with you?

Jiang Hexing asked casually.

Chen Mao sighed, pulled a chair, stayed at the door, and told the story of the past few days.

It turned out that Chen Mao had brought the carriage back a few days ago and went directly to find Dasikong Wangyi. Sikong, what does it mean, Si is the meaning of management, and empty refers to work, which means to manage construction machinery and vehicle construction. Later generations called the Ministry of Works.

Chen Mao told Wang Yi about the benefits of this car, but Wang Yi looked at it and didn't say anything, just said to take a look at it first.

Chen Mao was anxious in his heart, the war was imminent, the imperial court was sending grain and grass to the Huns, and the soldiers were using chariots.

Two days later, Wang Yi called Chen Mao and called a few craftsmen who made chariots, but he didn't expect all of them to oppose making such chariots.

Chen Mao's mouth was thin, and he didn't convince these craftsmen, so he found some generals and went to the scene together, but the result was still mostly opposed.

Chen Mao was helpless, so he called some civil officials again, and came to the Barbarian Pavilion again today, wanting to invite Shangjiang River to go to Sikong Mansion tomorrow and help him talk together.

After Chen Mao finished speaking, Jiang Hexing nodded and agreed.

Chen Mao saw that Jiang Hexing agreed, and was happy, regardless of the heavy rain outside, he rushed into the rain curtain again, and probably called someone.

Jiang Hexing didn't stay, he was also a little bored in the past two days, and he also wanted to see what kind of people in the court were. (To be continued.) )
