At this time, the sky was already bright, Chen Lin was sitting on the ground, the ground was messy, within a radius of two or three miles, there were the corpses of Qiang Hu lying around, and there were many corpses of Han people. This is Huang Yan leading the horse over and saying: "The eldest young master, the master of the assassin Shi said, in half an hour, Qianghu's horses will be able to run, the eldest young master used to pick a hundred at will, the eldest young master, I think they are all first-class good horses." Huang Yan's face was full of flowers when she said it, and it could be seen that Huang Yan was very happy.

It turned out that the Qianghu camp was attacked in the middle of the night last night, and at first Chen Lin was worried that the Qianghu did not use wild croton, and when Ding Yuan waved his army to kill him, none of the Qianghu people in the tent rode horses, and they all resisted on foot. By the time Chen Lin rushed over after Ding Yuan's army, the Qianghu camp had already lost its organized resistance, and there were quite a few Qianghu fleeing in all directions. Chen Lin saw that Ding Yuan had already ordered the team to scatter to chase and kill, and also asked Zhou Cang, who was so angry, that he and the others chased and killed the fleeing Qiang Hu. The Han people who were captured by Qiang Hu were also trampled to death by horses, Ding Yuan, who was happy in this battle, laughed, five hundred cavalry only encountered slight resistance when they first came into contact with Qianghu, and suffered more than 20 casualties, after the collapse, none of them were injured, and all 327 Qiang Hu cavalry were annihilated. When he came back, he saw more than 300 horses, nesting motionless in a simple fence, crackling, foul and dirty, but Chen Lin and the others laughed loudly.

When Chen Lin heard Huang Yan say this, he also jumped up and said happily: "Okay, go with me, hahaha." Chen Lin saw Ding Yuan and hurriedly greeted him, Ding Yuan was very happy to see Chen Lin now, such a big victory, and the state army had never fought countless battles against the nomads. Haha laughed: "Lord Chen, good strategy, haha, this official asked the captured Han people clearly, 327 Qiang Hu cavalry, not one left, none of them escaped, our army only lost 24 people, hahahaha." Then he said, "These horses have eaten a lot of wild croton, and they have been unable to move all night, and they have been strained, and now they have improved somewhat, and in half an hour, they will be fine if they are watered again." After a few days of cultivation, it must be an excellent war horse, Lord Chen will choose a hundred horses at random according to the agreement of the official, hahahaha. ”

Chen Lin saw that many soldiers were busy cooking the horses, some were washing, some were filling the horses, and the horses were full of foul smell, so Ding Yuan ordered someone to carry water to wash them. At this time, the horses were barely able to stand up, and the posture was really a good horse frame, tall and majestic. When Chen Lin saw Ding Yuan speak, he was also very happy in his heart, and hurriedly responded modestly, so he asked Huang Yan and other Chen family guards to jump out of a hundred horses, and everyone was full of joy and enthusiasm.

Leaving Ding Yuan, Chen Lin said to Fang Yue: "Brother Dingguo, this time to escort Lord Cai to the north, the Fang family is also not light, this hundred good horses, divided into thirty and Brother Dingguo, can be regarded as a heart." Fang Yue was envious when he saw that Chen Lin had a hundred good horses, but now when he saw Chen Lin automatically saying that he would divide his thirty horses, he was grateful in his heart, and the Fang family's nursing home next to him was also smiling and grinning.

Ding Yuan did not invite Chen Lin to the city for a banquet, because he did not stay in Xihe County, and at noon, when he saw that the horses could go, he said goodbye to Chen Lin and returned to Jinyang, which was said to be an urgent report from Yanmen. Chen Lin and others drove hundreds of good horses to Shangdang County slowly, and closed the city, causing many counties to be on closed guard along the way.

Chen Lin and others went for half a month, Cai Yong heard passers-by two days ago say that Ding Tingshi exterminated the gang of Qianghu, but still did not see Chen Lin and others return, and when they were in a hurry, Chen Lin and his party just came back. Chen Lin and the others didn't need to live for so long, but because there were fewer people and more horses, Chen Lin thought that the horse injury had not healed, and he just walked slowly, so it took so much time. Outsiders didn't know the merits of Chen Lin and others, they only said that it was the credit of Lord Shi, Fang Yue didn't care, and talked about the process to Cai Yong and the others like a flower, and pointed to the extra hundred horses as evidence, and everyone in Huguan heard of Chen Bozhi's name for the first time.

After returning to the Huguan round Cai Yong, the group of people with two horses, so unhappy, escorted Cai Yong to hurry immediately, this year's New Year's Pass everyone actually passed on the road, Chen Lin recalled the escape with Cai Yang a year ago, a burst of aftertaste. When passing through Jinyang, I heard that Ding Yuan went to the Great Wall of Yanmen at this time, and when Chen Lin and others arrived at Yanmen, they heard that the winter was coming, and the Xianbei people retreated, and Lord Ding went to Shangjun to inspect the defense. So Cai Yong and others were not allowed to see Ding Yuan, Cai Yong said to Chen Lin and others: "Lord Ding is running around for the country, and the state is barren and the border is constantly troubled, and Lord Ding is suffering." ”

So Cai Yong continued to go north, crossing the Great Wall, the population became more and more sparse, and it was a cold winter, and Chen Lin and others also suffered a lot. In Yunzhong County, Chen Lin and his entourage began to go west, which is Wuyuan County and Shuofang County. Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang three counties and Dingxiang County is a state barrier, every time the north invades, the four counties bear the brunt, and from time to time there are horse thieves, Chen Lin and others have encountered a few times, fortunately, Chen Lin has a large number of people, and the horse thieves can't please and leave. Because of this, the four counties are deserted, and there is not a single household in ten miles, unlike the Central Plains, where there are peasant households everywhere. The people here are all people who do not want to leave their hometowns, and they live in small towns and cities, and they do not dare to settle down in the wilderness. The combined population of the four counties is less than 15,000 households, and the Shuofang County that Cai Yong is going to only has 2,000 households, with a population of less than 10,000, and they live in six counties. They are Linrong County, Woye County, Guangmu County, Shuofang County, Dacheng County, and Sanfeng County. Shuofang County governs Linrong County, with 3,000 people and 1,000 border troops stationed there.

Chen Lin turned his head and happened to see Cai Yong coming out of the car, his face wrinkled, blocking the gale with his hands, and his face was uncomfortable. Chen Lin felt a pain in his heart, the court, the court, the great Confucian, should give priority to the study of literature and scriptures, how to distribute it to such a bad place. Fang Fang Yue said: "Alas, Lord Cai is a scribe and a great Confucian, but he is going to suffer this great disaster. Fang Yue looked back, closed his eyes, and didn't speak, Chen Lin knew that Fang Yue's respect for Cai Yong was more than Chen Lin's, and Fang Yue's heart was even more uncomfortable at this time, although Fang Yue didn't like to learn poetry, but he admired Cai Yong tightly.

Chen Lin regretted it a little, he had known that he should have bought a few more slaves when he was in the south, but now that he has entered this border land, he can't buy them even if he wants to. Look at Cai Yong's side, when he encountered Huanglong, only one maid of Cai's house was holding Miss Cai in the car, and the three horsemen were able to rush out of the Huanglong encirclement with Chen Lin and others, and the other Caifu slaves and maids had already been chopped into pulp. In the future, when they arrived in Shuofang, Chen Lin and others went back to Luoyang, how did Lord Cai's family live.

After crossing the Yellow River, it is Shuofang County, and when Chen Lin and his party stepped into the boundary of Linrong, it was already February of the second year of Guanghe of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Shuofang Taishou and the county magistrate of Linrong also knew that Cai Yong was coming, and they didn't know how they got the news, knowing that Cai Yong would happen to be in the county seat today. When Chen Lin and the others saw the county seat, they also saw that the moat bridge in front of the city gate was crowded with people's heads. The first ones were Taishou and the county magistrate, and they saw that Cai Yong was coming.

Chen Lin turned around and shouted to Cai Yong: "Lord Cai, Lord Cai, the people of Shuofang have picked you up." Cai Yongren came out before he spoke: "What? Hearing the infinite shock, he saw Cai Yong drill out and look up. Seeing the appearance in front of the city gate, Cai Yong's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and his lips trembled: "How can He De, how can He De." "I cried out loud. Cai Yong was honest and upright all his life, and he was full of economy, he was originally assigned Shuo Fang, and he was a little disheartened, but later saw Chen Lin and Fang Yue loyally guarding, killing countless thieves all the way, and almost lost his life in Huanglong's hand, and now when he saw Shuo Fang's scene, he couldn't help crying bitterly.

Chen Lin and Fang Yue were also moved, and a little sad about Cai Yong's encounter, Fang Yue shouted: "Lord Cai can remember the poem written by the former ancestor Bozhi, 'Mo Dao has no knowledge of the road ahead, and no one in the world knows you', Lord Cai can feel it, and I hope that the adults will be self-reliant." There was a choked voice in his voice.

Cai Yong's achievements have left a lot in history, and now he wants the encouragement of the two juniors, touching his face full of gray water, tidying up his clothes, and with perseverance at a glance, he smiled at Chen Lin and the others, and signaled to move forward. Chen Lin Fangyue saw that Cai Yong had regrouped, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly beat his horse forward.

In front, it was really the two adults Taishou and the county magistrate who led the officials, and the people of the city also spontaneously gathered to welcome Cai Yong. The officials respected Cai Yong's fame and knowledge, but the people had a different idea. They live in the border area, and they are very hard, and when they heard that the world-famous adults have come here with them, they suddenly feel that life is not so bitter, and they all want to see what this adult looks like. If Cai Yong knew that the people thought like this, I don't know how.

Taishou took the initiative to arrange a decent house for Cai Yong to live in, Cai Yong originally made excuses, Chen Lin bowed his head and said: "Lord Cai, Mrs. Cai and Miss Cai have suffered from this, it doesn't hurt to live better." Cai Yong agreed. The feast for Cai Yong is far less than the ordinary family banquet of the scholar family in the Central Plains, which shows the hardships of life here. Chen Lin didn't want to participate, Cai Yong was quick to speak, and said Chen Lin's identity, which aroused a burst of admiration, so he had to participate and sit under Cai Yong.

After the banquet was dispersed, Chen Lin and Cai Yong returned to the residence arranged by Taishou, which could accommodate more than 20 people, although it was a "mansion" but it was also dilapidated, Chen Lin and Fang Yue hurriedly commanded the guards to clean up, and Chen Lin asked Cai Yong to personally write two big words "Cai Mansion". Chen Lin personally followed the pattern, carved it on a large plaque with a knife, and hung it on the house. Chen Lin's nursing home can only live in other places, but Cai's mansion can't accommodate so many people.

After being so busy for two days, Taishou and others sent some items to Lord Cai, and after Chen Lin and others sorted it out, the current Cai Mansion was cleaned up in good shape. Mrs. Cai is also very satisfied, but Chen Lin knows that when they leave, this Cai Mansion will not know how much deserted, and I don't know how long the imperial court will put Cai Yong here. Chen Lin sometimes even thought viciously that if Emperor Ling of Han died now and the new emperor ascended the throne, I am afraid that he would be amnesty to the world, and Cai Yong might be able to return to the Central Plains immediately.
