Tu Mo, the king of the rhino moon, sent a messenger to invite Zhang Fang to the Rhino Moon tribe, the Gongyue Valley in the upper reaches of the Chu River, to meet. The distance between pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is more than 200 miles, but the day and night trip, it is not far away, and it is not close to it. But no matter how far or near, Zhang Fang must go.

Zhang Fang declined the kindness of Gan Yanshou to send an army to escort him, and only brought his Hu Servant team, Mo saw that there were only more than ten people, but one of them was enough to be one enemy and one hundred, and the hidden attribute was extremely high.

Man-bear-a-sit.

This giant man is not only vigorous in life, but also has a healing power that is different from ordinary people. His injuries are considered serious injuries to ordinary people, and he has to lie down for at least a month, and he has to be careful not to let the arrow wound collapse. Ah Zhen was only seven or eight days away, and his activities were unhindered. Although there is also the suture work of Zhang Fang, the strength of Ah Zhen's self-healing power can also be seen.

Everyone rode horses, but none of the horses could bear the weight of Ah Zhen, so he could only ride a camel. His huge wooden rod and repaired armor were packed and carried by another camel. Although the speed of the camel is not as good as that of a horse, it is much stronger than a horse in terms of strength, and it is not much worse than a horse to walk long distances.

Everyone didn't dare to approach this new companion at first, except for Zhang Fang and Qingyan. Zhang Fang is the master, so naturally he has nothing to say. Qingyan has been treating Ah Yan's injuries for a few days, and gradually understands that this vicious-looking barbarian is actually not so terrible, as long as you release kindness to him, he will also return gentlely.

And Ah Yan was also very kind to Qingyan and was very willing to listen to her, so much so that everyone teased: "Qingyan, it's better for you to recognize him as a brother." ”

Qing Yan took out the flying knife and was about to attack, and the person who spoke quickly ran away.

It's strange to say, Hu Cong is afraid of Ah Zhen, and Ah Zhen seems to be a little afraid of Zhang Fang, and it is obviously not the kind of fear that the slave fears his master. He never dared to face Zhang Fang's eyes, and the reason for this may only be understood by the two of them. It's just that Zhang Fang doesn't say it, Ah Zhen doesn't say it, although others look strange, it's hard to understand.

According to the messenger, it will only take one day and one night, and the next afternoon will be there. In the evening, the messenger took Zhang Fang and his party to a small tent to rest. The messenger was obviously familiar with the head of the ministry, and although he did not reveal the identity of Zhang Fang and his party, he was still warmly welcomed.

At night, after arranging the sentry, Tao Sheng was notified that the young master would see him. Tao Sheng didn't dare to slack off, and went there immediately after the handover - but he didn't know that this meeting was extraordinary.

When Tao Sheng entered the tent, he saw that there was only one young master in the tent, and he was looking down at a silk picture placed on the desk. Tao Sheng traveled west with the young master all the way, and he saw it more than once, the young master used sheepskin to draw the terrain, and all kinds of sketches accumulated a full box. And this silk drawing is compiled on the basis of sorting out a large number of sketches.

Alimu once had the privilege of taking a look at this silk map and said to Tao Sheng: "This silk map is the best and most sophisticated topographic map of the Northern Western Regions that I have ever seen." Any big businessman will buy at a high price. ”

In addition to being proud, Tao Sheng was not surprised at all, along the way, the young master's profound knowledge had already made them accustomed to it. It can turn ordinary things into thunder, and what is it to survey and map it.

"Guard Tao is here, sit down." Zhang Fang raised his head and gestured with his hand.

Tao Sheng bowed his head: "In front of the young master, how can there be a villain, the little one is better to stand." ”

Zhang Fang smiled: "It's just to let you get used to it in advance, maybe there will be your seat soon." ”

This is a bit strange, Tao Sheng raised his head inexplicably.

Zhang Fang pointed to a black lacquered box in the corner of the tent: "Do you know what's in there?" ”

Tao Sheng vaguely guessed a little, but could only say: "The little one doesn't know." ”

"Do you remember the situation in the underground palace of Zhizhi City? This box contains some of it. ”

Zhizhi City Underground Palace? Belch...... Tao Sheng hurriedly looked away, he was also one of the people who entered the underground palace that day, and he could never forget the scene in his life, and even appeared many times in his dreams......

"It is human nature to chase wealth, even a gentleman loves money, but he just takes it in a good way." Zhang Fang Zhengse said, "Guardian Tao, if you were given a choice, let you stay here for three years, and then give you a box of treasures, how would you choose?" ”

Tao Sheng was stunned, at a loss for a moment, and muttered, "This, this...... How could it be...... The young master laughed......"

Zhang Fang stared at Tao Sheng, silent, and waited for him to digest it almost before continuing: "Star Picking City was reserved by Gan Du Hu and Captain Chen at my request, I am the master of this city, but I can't stay here. Therefore, I need to send someone to represent me and cooperate with Kangju people to build a new city. ”

Tao Sheng's eyes widened in surprise: "Young master...... I ......"

Zhang Fang spoke quickly, and kept releasing new information to bombard Tao Sheng: "If you are willing to stay, it will only take three years, and I dare to guarantee that you can accumulate a wealth no less than this box of treasures - if it is not enough, you can ask me to make up the difference." ”

After Zhang Fang finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and let Tao Sheng digest it slowly.

When Tao Sheng left, the soles of his feet were all drifting, which was completely different from his usual solid footsteps. Zhang Fang asked him to think about it for a night, and there was no need to answer in a hurry.

Yes, Zhang Fang can't stay here for long, he needs to arrange a suitable agent. In his subordinates, from all aspects, there is barely one person who is suitable, and that is Tao Sheng.

Since his father's generation, Tao Sheng is the family of the Marquis of Fuping, and Tao Sheng is the son of the family, and in this era, he belongs to the most loyal and reliable category. Their fate is to live and die with the head of the family and the family. From this point of view, Tao Sheng can indeed represent Zhang Fang. And among the followers, Tao Sheng is also one of the few people who can write and calculate, and his personality is also calm and flexible, there is no more suitable than him.

Zhang Fang wanted Zhizhicheng, not only for his own interests, but also for far-reaching considerations.

Chen Tang's extermination of the Zhi branch is equivalent to Huo Qu's illness and breaking the Dragon City, both of which are beheading operations. Although the head is beheaded, the limbs are still there, the Huns have not perished, and the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the Three Kingdoms, and in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Huns still stuck to the Central Plains Dynasty like kraft candy, waiting for the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain, and even brought profound disasters to the Han nation.

If you can strike while the iron is hot, take the Western Regions as the base, and take the Zhizhi City as the fulcrum, pry the entire Western Regions and even Central Asia, squeeze the living space of the Huns, and hope to completely expel the Huns from Mobei and the Western Regions. It's a pity that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty at that time had no intention of foreign affairs, and the national strength had begun to decline, so he let go of this great opportunity in vain and failed to maximize the benefits of this expeditionary battle. After decades of respite, the Huns soon re-emerged, and in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they re-afflicted themselves, so that the Silk Road "three unique and three links". Then Deng Yu attacked Hu, Geng Gong was alone, Dou Gu went on an expedition, and the class exceeded the envoy...... Even so, after hundreds of years, the Xiongnu still existed tenaciously, and eventually became the first evil of the Wuhu Rebellion.

The Huns are like locusts, they must be expelled if they can't be killed, and they should not be given any chance.

Therefore, Zhang Fang should take Zhizhi City as the fulcrum, lay out the operation, and when the time is ripe in the future, he will completely drive the Huns out of the Western Regions. Don't scourge in the East, scourge the West, you have to go sooner or later anyway, it's better to go early than late, let's help you! (To be continued.) )
