So these places are basically in a state of anarchy, for the Turks to cross their own territory to attack the city, Dunhuang Zhang Jun is in favor of raising his hands, he has long been a vassal to Koro, and constantly sent envoys to pay tribute to him to seek refuge, Zhao Gongming felt that in the future, he would completely take the Hexi Corridor, and it would be beneficial to be able to place one or two chess pieces there now, so he Yan Keluo accepted his kindness.

Originally, Koro was not interested in a small warlord like Zhang Jun, but after Zhao Gongming explained that he was powerful, he decided to give him some face, signed an alliance with him, and determined the relationship between his superiors and subordinates. This time, the army of Yandu consisted of as many as 60,000 people, and they all relied on robbery along the way to eat, drink and Lazar along the way, and they went all the way south to Juyanze, where they continued to the west and then south into the territory of Dunhuang County.

Zhang Jun's men and horses had been waiting to meet Yandu at the border. Yijin's men and horses were the first to arrive in Dunhuang, and after meeting with Zhang Jun, Yijin told him how much food he needed to prepare, and Zhang Jun said: "The minister has already prepared food and drink, which is completely enough for 60,000 people." Yijin was a little surprised, usually it was more difficult to let the old boy get some money out than to ask for his life, at this moment he was so generous, he was a little puzzled, and asked curiously: "Is Zhang Taishou making a windfall?" Suddenly so much money because whose caravan was looted again? ”

In the face of Yi Jin's jokes, he didn't care, Zhang Jun didn't have any big ambitions, he sat very comfortably in the position of Dunhuang Taishou, and the Tiangao Emperor was free to call the wind and rain from afar, so as long as the army of Qi couldn't beat it, he could live like this forever, but the premise was that he needed to cooperate with the more powerful Turks, so he didn't care what Yijin did to him, even if it was like treating a dog.

Yan Du sat in Zhang Jun's Taishou Mansion, his eyes were dull and his expression was wooden, Yi Jin ordered someone to make the beef bones and serve them to him, which made Yan Du recover his senses, and said with a smile on his face: "I like this, you really have a heart, King Youxian." After speaking, he picked up the bones and began to chew on them, eating very cruelly, even Zhang Jun on the side was a little surprised, and said that this Turkic Zhen Nyima was barbaric, and even eating and drinking were so "brutal".

Yijin saw Zhang Jun's eyes and knew what he was thinking, so he asked very unceremoniously: "Taishou, how many people do you have now?" Zhang Jun was a little surprised, and he was not mentally prepared for him to ask such a question suddenly, so he replied honestly: "Oh, there are not many people in the lower hands, and now there are only more than 3,000 standing soldiers except for patrolling the city and defending against foreign enemies." Yijin nodded and said, "It's enough, I've recruited you for three thousand people." The tone was non-negotiable, and Zhang Jun was surprised: "Eh, is it because King Xian mobilized my men and horses because of lack of manpower?" ”

Yi Jin said angrily: "We have enough manpower, but it is a long way to the foothills of Kunlun Mountain, and our grain and grass are insufficient, so we just use your 3,000 people as a grain transport pair." You're going to be able to prepare three days' worth of food for us. "60,000 people and horses for three days of food to a small Dunhuang County, this is simply the rhythm of Zhang Jun's bankruptcy, he was polite before, only for Yandu and Yijin These senior generals prepared a good banquet, he will not be stupid enough to prepare what grain and grass for 60,000 soldiers and 60,000 horses, he is panicked? ?

So at this moment, Yi Jin made such a request, he was caught off guard, and immediately said with a very embarrassed face: "King Xian, listen to me explain to you, in fact, I have been very short of money recently, and I couldn't make ends meet here, but now it is estimated that it is a little difficult to take out so much grain and grass at once." Yijin didn't intend to leave him room at all, and said mercilessly: "It's okay, if you don't want to, forget it, but in the future, we Turks won't stay with you, and it will be more embarrassing for us to meet next time." His implication was that when he returned, he would sack Dunhuang.

When Zhang Jun heard this, he scolded his mother with a beating in his heart, but he begged for mercy with sadness on his face: "Don't, King Xian, don't say that, you give me a little time to take a look at our warehouse." Yijin waved at him, signaling that he could leave. Zhang Jun came out of the gate dejectedly like a subordinate who was summoned and came and went. The county princes, Gong Cao, and Du Wei outside surrounded them and asked, "How about Taishou, what do these barbarians say?" Zhang Junqi stomped his feet and sighed and walked out directly.

A few people returned to their study, Zhang Jun told the matter, these people were speechless, this Turkic is too ruthless, isn't this going to eat Dunhuang City? At this time, Jun Cheng suddenly had an idea and said, "Taishou, my subordinates have a clever plan to solve this problem." Zhang Jun was so excited that he almost kissed him, so he hurriedly asked, "What can you do to help me solve this problem?" ”

Jun Cheng said confidently: "Didn't they come to exterminate the people this time?" Why don't we send a message to the nearby counties and countries in the Western Regions, saying that they mean the Turks, and ask them to pay a certain amount of grain in each city, otherwise they will send troops to attack. In this way, not only will we not have to spend a penny, but we will be able to call the shots here as agents of the Turks. ”

This plan was really good, and it solved Zhang Jun's urgent need in an instant, but then Du Wei raised an objection: What if someone disobeys the order and doesn't give it? This is also true, there are always people who are not afraid of death who come out to find death. Zhang Jun turned his head to look at Jun Cheng, who knew that Jun Cheng said triumphantly: "If anyone dares not to give, then the designation will not be able to live, why are these Turkic barbarians bothering to come here this time?" Isn't it just to recover the city-states that have not yet been subdued? At this time, if anyone blocks a shot for the people, it will be big. ”

Zhang Jun nodded and said: "I only understand, after this is done, it is decided, you will do what he said, and send a message to the surrounding cities and the countries of the Western Regions at the speed, asking them to send grain and grass within five days, otherwise the Turkic iron cavalry will overwhelm the territory." When everyone heard this, they retreated, Zhang Jun felt that he was very witty, and even such a thorny problem was easily resolved, and his mood changed again, and he went to find his friend.

Several warlords in the Hexi Corridor have received the news from Zhang Jun, Shao Long of Jiuquan was a little scared, so he handed over the grain in full, although he had a general relationship with the Turks, but the army of people was on the side, the so-called person who knew the times was Junjie, who would commit a crime against the wind? The countries of the Western Regions have long heard that the Turks have come to hundreds of thousands (it is an exaggeration to spread false rumors), and now Zhang Jun's words are full of threats, although everyone is very disgusted with the insatiable greed of the Turks, but no one will resist, and they all honestly send the grain to Dunhuang City according to the date.

Only Ma Furong killed the messenger directly after learning about Zhang Jun's message, and asked the caravan to send the head back to him, he had long been unaccustomed to Zhang Jun's style, if it weren't for Shao Long in Jiuquan in the middle, he would have sent troops to kill the grandson. Although Ma Furong has a bandit style, he is still somewhat ethnic, and although he is resistant to the central government, he deeply knows that he is a Han Chinese. (To be continued.) )
