"Grain?" Zhang Mai's eyes lit up: "Do you have food on hand?" ”

Since the Mobei Expedition, the Tiance Tang Army has begun to expose many weaknesses that can be seen by discerning people, the most severe of which is the lack of money and food.

Forget about the money, Tiance is heavy on industry and commerce, with the smooth flow of business, this problem is not difficult to solve, now Zheng Wei on the Ganliang side has eased up, Dongshu here, it is estimated that it will be able to achieve a balance next year, but the problem of food is difficult to solve.

After years of war make Hebei poor, the Central Plains is broken, there is still surplus grain in the home of Haoqiang, and the family of Li Shu is full of hunger, when the fundamental breakthrough in agricultural technology has not yet been achieved, the judgment of the ancients that "accumulated three years and has a year's reserves" can not be overturned, in the sweet and cool areas where agriculture and animal husbandry have made great progress, relying on the accumulation of power to reach the vast and sparsely populated land, the harvest year can have a year's storage, and the normal year has half a year's storage, this accumulation degree is considered to have increased by three percent, but in Hebei, in terms of the current situation, Zhang Mai estimated that he would have to delay for at least three years before he could give himself the strength to fight another big battle and destroy the remnants of the Khitan! Fighting snakes does not die but suffers from it, Zhang Mai can hardly bear the Khitan licking the wound under his eyelids to recuperate, if it were not for the situation in the Central Plains to hold back his legs, Zhang Mai would have ordered troops to rush out of Yuguan.

But now Zhao Zan actually said that he had grain from the south on hand, which couldn't help but move Zhang Mai. Most of the grain grown in the eastern region has to be digested on the spot, and the Hezhong and Western Regions can only transport wealth, but they can't transport grain, but if they can transport grain from the southeast sea route, it will be extra, and as much as they can be transported into the warehouse.

In the past 100 years, there has been far less turmoil in the south than in the north, and even the successive wars in the north in the past few years have had almost no impact on the economy of Jiangnan. However, the reopening of the Silk Road has played an active role in activating the economy of Jiangnan. However, grain is not like a luxury product, it is both a bulk commodity and a strategic material, due to the barrier of transportation, no matter how rich Tiance has been in the past few years, he cannot exchange the treasures transported from the Western Regions for rice in Jiangdong. Even if Wu Yue businessman had this heart, he couldn't get it.

Zhao Zan said: "Now that the wind is not smooth, the ocean current is not smooth, and the ship that the minister brought to Tianjin this time also needs to escort other goods, so he only brought 80,000 stone of grain." ”

Zhang Mai said: "That's a lot. ”

Zhao Zan also said: "In addition, the minister still has 600,000 stones of grain in the East China Sea. As long as the marshal gives an order, he is willing to escort all of them into Yan. ”

Zhang Mai was overjoyed, and Fan Zhen next to him couldn't help but wonder: "Dengzhou Laizhou is not a grain producing area, where did Zhao Donghai get so much grain?" Zhang Mai smiled: "It must be from Jiangdong." ”

Zhao Zan said: "The marshal guessed well. The countries of the South. Qi is the strongest, and the more rich. Wu Yue Qian's family, occupying Su, Lake, Xiu, Hangzhou, is the land of fish and rice! Qian takes 'protecting the territory and the people, retiring the army and relieving the people' as the national strategy, attaches importance to agriculture and mulberry, builds water conservancy, and has been established for more than 30 years, and the country has accumulated for 10 years. There are surpluses in both public and private warehouses, so food prices are low. Hundreds of thousands of stone grains. Alone. ”

Su is Suzhou, Lake is Huzhou, Xiu is Jiaxing in later generations, and Hangzhou is Hangzhou, which is not only a large grain producing state, but also has a huge amount of surplus grain.

Zhang Mai said: "Everyone knows that Wu Yue has surplus food. Everyone knows that you have the ability to transport grain, but why do you have so much food in reserve? You don't have that many people. ”

Zhao Zan said with a smile: "The minister does not have the ability to predict the future, this grain was originally not prepared for the marshal, and the minister's warehouse was originally only 200,000 stones, but I saw that Hebei and Shandong affected the people's livelihood due to Shi Jingjiao's rampant expropriation. It was expected that there might be a famine in the coming year, and the price of grain in the north would definitely rise at that time, so they lured merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to transport grain to the north in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, the marshal implemented a tax exemption order, although this order could not completely change the predicament of Shandong and Hebei, but the price of grain in the coming year would not be as high as the minister expected. But I know that the marshal has hundreds of thousands of troops going south to the Yan Dynasty to eat, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't make that little money, he simply transports grain to the north to help the marshal's urgency. ”

Zhang Mai said with a smile: "I see, but even if it's not a small amount of money, 600,000 stone grain, that can make you a lot less." ”

Zhao Zan said: "This is the will of heaven in the underworld, these 600,000 stone grains are given to the marshal by God, but it is just borrowed from Zhao Zan's hands." ”

Fan Zhen nodded when he heard this, and Fu Yanqing secretly praised his nephew for being able to speak.

Zhang Mai said: "Since your grain is bought by a businessman, then I won't take you for nothing, I can't set such a bad example for my descendants." How much should you spend on it, and send someone to settle it clearly. ”

Zhao Zan saw that Zhang Mai refused to accept his gift, but was a little worried, and listened to Zhang Mai again: "These 600,000 stone grains and grass can meet my urgent needs this year, but if Hebei and Shandong want to support my use of troops without affecting the people's livelihood, they will have to recuperate for at least two or three years." Now that the Khitan shape is gradually stabilizing, I can't wait that long! You might bring another batch of grain for me next year? ”

Zhao Zan asked, "Is the marshal rich?" ”

Zhang Mai said: "Yes." ”

Zhao Zan said: "If you have money, you can buy it." ”

Zhang Mai said: "You are a businessman, as long as you have money, Wuyue businessmen can naturally sell." But if it's me behind it, I'm afraid this deal won't go so smoothly. ”

Grain is one of the most important strategic materials, and the export of grain involves not only a question of profit and loss, but also a political issue. Between countries, especially in times of war, even if they die poor, they refuse to send food lightly.

Zhao Zan said: "Wu Yue Qian has no ambition in the world, and its trouble lies in Jinling, and he often claims to be subordinate to Luoyang as an external response. If the marshal can set foot on Luoyang and return to the heart of the world, then the minister will be eighty percent sure of the grain and grass in the south! ”

Zhang Mai was overjoyed and said to Fan Zhi: "From today onwards, an Eastern Naval Region will be added under the East Hub, which will be in charge of maritime affairs, and will be located in Dengzhou, with the Governor of the East China Sea as the governor in charge of its affairs. Same-day printing of flags. As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Zhao Zandao: "Just a job, Zhao Yuanfu is willing to give in?" ”

At this time, there were also Jing Yan, Guangshi, Gongba and other generals in the golden tent, and they were all envious when they heard this appointment, Zhao Zan's face was also full of satisfaction, bowed down to receive the order, and said: "The minister still has an invitation." ”

Zhang Mai said: "Please speak." ”

Zhao Zan said: "My mother is getting older, and she is not accustomed to overseas water and soil, so she hopes to move to Yedu. ”

He said this humbly and tactfully, but Zhang Mai already understood what he meant, which implied that he was hostage to his mother, and he also wanted to reassure Zhang Mai. Zhang Mai said: "Since the East China Navy is attached, it will be treated the same as the Chinese people. Ling Tang can live wherever he wants, but now that Dongshu is poor and has the cost of settling down, Zhao Dudu will not come to knock me on the bamboo pole. ”

This is stingy on the surface, but the sentence "live wherever you want". What was given was freedom, Zhao Zan's heart was wide, and he knelt down and thanked him.

Zhang Mai said with a smile: "I heard the good news one after another today, and I can't help but celebrate, tonight's banquet, everyone let go of eating and drinking, and those who are not drunk are not allowed to go home!" ”

――――――――――

Zhao Zan went north this time and brought many merchants, except for the merchants of Ludong. There are also some merchants in Jiangnan, and even a few Goryeo merchants, the merchants in Jiangnan mainly bring life products, including rice, tea, agricultural tools, porcelain, silk, embroidery and wine, etc., the merchants of Ludong brought medicines, dried fruits, pottery, stones, etc., and the merchants of Goryeo brought various local products including ginseng, because those who could follow Zhao Zan were representatives of the Haoqiang clan, so they all brought a lot of silver.

And here in Youzhou. A large group of merchants from the Northwest had already gathered, and they brought all kinds of strange goods from the Western Regions. Not to mention the felts and knives from West Asia, not to mention the glass from Central Asia and the gems from India, there are also bulk commodities from sweet and cool cotton fabrics, and the wine in the river is also quite popular, and even the beauties and Kunlun slaves of the Western Regions are secretly traded on the edge of illegality.

In addition to the transactions of the Northwest merchants with the merchants of the East Sea. The soldiers and generals of the Tiance Tang Army are also the main force of this consumption. In the two battles of Mobei and Shangjing, the Tang army got a large number of booty, and Yang Yi was rewarded for his merits after Yang Yi gave Zhang Mai, so most of them had money in their pockets, especially the elite troops. Everyone is rich, who doesn't have a bag or two of gold and silver in their pocket? Who doesn't have seven or eight dozen cowhides behind them? The cowhide was exchanged for silver, and the silver was exchanged for wine, and all the barracks that did not have it were often reveled all night because of this, and the post-war wounds after the 10,000-mile expedition were slightly healed in this revelry.

It was a transaction, and the tax collectors at the bazaar and the city gates collected taxes softly, and it was not until three days before the parade that the lively atmosphere of Youzhou City eased a little as all the barracks were restored to a state of rear.

The impact of this military parade in Yanjing is not limited to the military, but also the merchant class is also very enthusiastic about it. The aborigines of Youzhou have been evacuated by the Khitan, and now half of the merchants who are active in Yanjing come from the northwest and half from the southeast - the merchants from the northwest have been under the rule of Tiance for a long time, and the people of the Central Plains may still be afraid of the warriors, but they are not afraid, and under their drive and infection, the merchants from the southeast are also full of expectations for this.

After Yang Dingguo arrived in Youzhou, Zhang Mai announced that he would hold a military parade tomorrow and announced the situation of the nine troops participating in the parade to the whole city. When everyone watched the list, they knew that those who participated in the parade included:

Eagle Yang Iron Cavalry is the first, led by Ding Hanshan, the total number of 5,000 troops are all cavalry, weapons are lance, knife, spear with bow and arrow, half iron armor, half leather armor, mounts are high-headed Mobei Liang Horse and East Hu Liang Horse - these war horses are all captured trophies, in order to show the Eagle Yang's merits.

The second Modao battle axe array, led by Liu Heihu, numbered 3,000, wearing leather-faced high boots, holding a Modao battle axe, with complete armor, but the left shoulder was not armored, thinking that the comrades who died in the highlands of the horse were mourning.

The third of the sweat and blood cavalry regiment, led by Ma Humeng, numbered 3,000, although it was a light horse, but the mount would be a sweat and blood horse.

The fourth light cavalry in the new group was composed of the cavalry backbone brought by Yang Xin, plus the elite cavalry who descended from hundreds of thousands of troops from Mobei.

The fifth cavalry archer in the new group is composed of the cavalry backbone led by the arrow king Zhi Congshi, plus the cavalry elite in the Mobei army.

The sixth in the left arrow battalion, the master of Wei Fei.

The seventh in the right arrow battalion, Guo Zhang's master.

Yedu descended to the eighth army, and Fan Yanguang was the master.

The ninth of the Longxiang Iron Armor Army, Shi Jian is the general, and the elite cavalry is the queen of the palace, all of which are the Longxiang Iron Armor Army that has returned triumphantly.

――――――――――

These nine troops, except for the Yedu army, are all Zhang Mai's cronies, Fan Yanguang was overjoyed when he saw that his troops were able to be in them, and except for the Longxiang Iron Armored Army, which was 10,000 people, the other troops were 3,000 people, only the Yingyang Army and himself were 5,000 people, thinking that he had to be on a side with the Yingyang Iron Cavalry, and the whole army was also proud. The messenger also said that when the time came, the marshal would come to the stage to express his condolences to the hardships, and that the armies should respond with courtesy, preferably in unison, and then they would be arrayed to hedge against each other, so as to test their courage.

Fan Yanguang sent the order down and informed the whole army that the parade platform was waiting for the meeting. Just shout long live the marshal together, be sure to be loud and neat! As for the array against Yunyun, it is expected to be just a show.

The day before the parade, Fan Yanguang ordered the whole army to be reorganized, and it must be driven to the parade ground in clear clothes and armor, so that he could not lose his face, so the whole army was purged. For a while, it was also majestic.

On this day, the north wind is bleak, cloudless, Yanjing is outside the south gate to clear out a good open space, is a few days ago Xue Fu ordered ten thousand horses to step flat, the south gate of Yanjing city tower slightly modified, it became the main parade platform, then Zhang Mai will parade here, Xue Fu as the commander-in-chief, the south side of the school field and set aside a place for the people to stand. Called the South Parade Stand.

The night before the parade, the south gate is not closed, the people who are mainly composed of merchants go out of the city overnight to occupy the place, after sunrise, the escort troops clear the field, follow Zhang Mai to the city gate, Yang Dingguo on the left, Zhang De on the right, Xue Fu left front number to order. Fan Zhen advocated military etiquette in front of the right, and other civil and military generals. Lined up in three columns on both sides and behind, Xue Fu ordered the action, Fan Zhen ordered the drumming, and the nine troops continued to appear.

The Eagle Yang cavalry first drove from the northwest direction, and these soldiers were all wounded, and many of them had scars on their faces that could not be concealed. Ten thousand horsemen passed under the stage, and at the same time paid attention to the line where Zhang Mai was at the head of the city, at this time there was no megaphone, but there were thirty loud voices shouting in unison at the head of the city: "The acting marshal asked Yang Dadu to supervise the city, and the acting marshal asked the soldiers of the Northern Expedition." All the soldiers have worked hard. ”

Five thousand eagles and knights shouted in unison: "Serve the country, live and die!" ”

Thousands of people shouted in unison, shaking the souls of the people on the south parade platform, all of them were amazed, Zhao Zan looked down at the city, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Such a heroic soldier, no wonder I can sweep Mobei, fortunately I surrendered in time, otherwise the end is unpredictable!" ”

Followed by the Mo knife and tomahawk array from the southwest, among the nine troops, this is the only infantry, but it is the world-famous heavy infantry, three thousand soldiers heavy armor, long knives, giant axes, all of them are strong men, horses can not walk in unison, but the Mo knife and tomahawk array is three thousand people step together, the weight of the body is poured into the big foot, it is like hundreds of elephants appearing, the roar seems to be still on top of the galloping horses!

Thirty loud voices shouted in unison on behalf of Zhang Mai at the head of the city: "Mo sword and battle axe, do not fall into the soul of the Tang Dynasty, the death of the horse, and the whole country will be eternal." ”

The three thousand Mo sword and battle axe soldiers responded in unison: "Don't dare to forget the will of the deceased, don't dare to fall into the majesty of the ancestors!" ”

The tragedy of the Modao and Tomahawk Formation, almost no one present did not know, and hearing these two answers, some businessmen from the northwest couldn't help but shed tears.

Following the sweat and blood cavalry regiment, the new group of light cavalry, the new group of cavalry archers, and the left arrow battalion and the right arrow battalion 6 continued to appear, each with its own majesty, each with its own looks, and finally to the eighth Ye Du army debuted, and the queue was also neat.

Fan Yanguang and his subordinates had never experienced such a scene, and he was taken to the southeast of the parade ground after the reorganization of the troops last night, and when he heard the neat and tidy answer on the side of the parade ground from a distance, he secretly felt that shouting long live the marshal seemed to be incompatible with the current atmosphere, but it was too late to adjust.

Finally it was their turn, under the guidance of the military flag, Ye Du descended to the army and officially appeared, the front seven troops have undergone rigorous training, the Modao battle axe formation is almost a straight line queue, the square neat infantry formation needless to say, the four Tiance old cavalry teams can control the horses and fish in rows, as for the new group of men and horses led by Yang Xin and Zhi Congshi, it has not been able to be so neat for less than a few months, but these are all proud soldiers and fierce generals selected from the Mobei Hu cavalry, relying on the deterrence of the king of spears and arrows to subdue them, When walking through the north-south parade platform, a hideous momentum was also daunting.

Yedu surrendered the army neither has the strict order of the old cavalry of Tiance, nor the sky-high momentum of the Yang and Zhexin troops, most of its composition are soldiers, although they can keep the military capacity undispersed, but when they arrive at the parade platform, they see the flag fluttering in the north, it is very beautiful, the south is full of people, it is lively, many people can't help but look around, the general of the supervision team saw a whip and pulled it over, and the soldiers who looked around looked angrily, it was not afraid of not knowing the goods, they were afraid of comparing the goods, and the seven strong armies in front of them were in front, The eighth army is out of the woods!

Yang Dingguo frowned on the northern parade platform, and the people on the southern parade platform all pointed their fingers.

At this time, thirty loud voices on the parade platform said in unison: "Fan Jiedu envoy and the generals under his command, hard work!" ”

The five thousand shouted: "Long live the marshal!" Long live the marshal! "Some people shouted early, some shouted late, some shouted loudly, some screamed, inconsistent and complicated. Hearing this, the civilian, military and military people at the north and south parade platforms all shook their heads secretly.

Fan Yanguang was angry and jealous in his heart, angry that his subordinates were not angry, and jealous of how Tiance could make such an "unconventional" military parade. Suddenly, he was secretly worried about the "array hedging" that was going to take place.

The eighth army entered the predetermined area according to the banner, followed by the ninth army, and it was the Longxiang Iron Armored Army that came! This is worthy of the palace army of the military parade. The momentum is upright and rigorous, especially the forwards are all wearing bright light armor, shining brightly in the sunlight, and the snowy reflection flashes so that the people in the audience cover their eyes with their hands. In contrast, the Yedu army in front of it was like a ragtag army.

Long Xiang Iron Armor came to the middle of the parade platform and stood in the middle of the parade platform facing north and stopped in the middle, Zhang Mai took a step forward, took off his helmet, and nodded.

Ten thousand horsemen made a great guttural voice in unison, nine in a row. Except for the Anxi veterans, no one understands the meaning of these nine guttural voices, but it does not prevent everyone from experiencing the feeling of being one soldier and commander, and there is no gap between the top and bottom!

Zhang Mai retreated and went back, followed Xue Fu to wave the command flag, and the Long Xiang Iron Armor Army turned its horse's head and stood south under the city as a prison field. The other eight troops were facing each other in pairs, and Fan Yanguang was stunned to find that opposite him was the eagle and iron cavalry of the armies!

As the order came out, the eagle and iron horsemen three miles away rushed in formation! When Ye Du surrendered to the army and was stunned, he reacted one step slower. Hurriedly rushed up as well.

The Eagle Yang Army is from the command of Yang Yi, Zhan Lingxi, Zhan Luntai, Zhan Mobei, and Zhan Linhuang! Small battles dozens. Four Great Fighters, Seven Dead Fighters! Among them, the generals and colonels are all dead for the rest of their lives! All the soldiers, which one doesn't have a few Hulu lives on their bodies! And in front of them, Ye Du surrendered to the army, and most of the fights were civil wars, and he was good at bullying the common people in peacetime, where could he be the world's leading unstrong army?

Such an unworldly strong army. It's okay when it stops, this charge, the momentum like a sea of corpses and blood is coming, people are like gods, horses are like ghosts! Look at the two sides approaching. Yedu surrendered to the army is a group of arrogant generals with thousands of soldiers, how can they withstand such coercion! For a while, it was like being on a real battlefield, and the proud soldiers and fierce generals in it were still in control, and those soldiers were gone, where could they still tell the truth from the false? Flee as both sides approach! In front of everyone's eyes, the situation is in chaos! There were even deserters who lost their sense of direction for a while and went so far as to rush into the crowd of people at the South Parade Platform, causing a small commotion.

Although most of the people on the southern parade platform did not understand military affairs, they all laughed shamelessly when they saw this, Yang Dingguo saw it on the stage, and couldn't help but scold: "Useless things!" Rubbish! Rubbish! ”

Fu Yanqing peeked and saw Zhang Mai's expressionless face, and his heart was terrified, knowing that Fan Yanguang would have no good ending.

――――――――――

This military parade in the winter of the seventh year of Tiance left an extremely deep impression on the businessmen who came to Youzhou to catch up with the big gathering, but the episode of Yedu's surrender became a joke in the word of mouth.

――――――――――

Three days after the parade, Zhang Mai convened the generals again, this time to convene all the generals above the captain of the nine troops, in front of the golden tent, more than 100 people surrounded, and listened to Zhang Mai: "Now the biggest war in Mobei has ended, although there is still a war in the future, although it is not yet the time when the horse is released in Nanshan, but there is no need for so many people and horses." Soldiers are expensive, not much. All armies and units must retain the strong and eliminate the weak. Eliminated under the people and horses, the meritorious can retire with success, assigned to the farm, the inmeritorious to the designated area to open up the wasteland, the surrender of the Hulu brought by Mobei, the unselected elite soldiers, the old and weak go to the workshop as craftsmen and slaves, the strong go to the Yanjing New City site to build a city, and the disobedient are assigned to the mine mining. ”

Xue Fu had already prepared, how to eliminate it at the moment, how to reorganize, and give orders one by one, Gong Cao's work was done carefully, so no one had any objections to who would stay, only Fan Yanguang was more worried the more he listened. The merit book was reported one by one, how many Khitans were killed, how many Hui were killed, how many miscellaneous Hu were killed, how many territories were opened, how many pastures were leveled, how many cities were seized, one after another said that they would come out, and the generals and colonels who surrendered to Yedu could not raise their heads -- in addition to changing the banner at the head of Yedu City, where else did they have any meritorious deeds?

This major reorganization and adjustment, just the announcement lasted for most of the day, after all the people and horses were arranged, only Ye surrendered, everyone present looked over, and everyone looked over, from Fan Yanguang and Sun Rui below, everyone was weak-hearted!

Zhang Mai also looked over and asked Fan Yanguang: "Fan Linggong, how many soldiers and horses do you think you have under your command that can be called elite soldiers?" ”

The ugliness of the military parade three days ago was vivid, Fan Yanguang was embarrassed to speak, and it took a long time before kneeling down and saying, "Our lives." It's up to the marshal to decide. ”

Zhang Mai said coldly: "What does it mean that my life is up to me?" When am I going to take your life? Do you mean that I don't believe in my words, and that the birds hide the rabbits and the dead dogs? ”

Fan Yanguang hurriedly said: "Don't dare! ”

Zhang Mai said: "Since you don't dare, let's talk carefully, how many soldiers and horses under your command can be called elite soldiers?" ”

Fan Yanguang was forced, gritted his teeth and said: "Among the five thousand people who will arrive in Yan at the end of the year." It is true that there are 2,000 good and bad, but at least more than 3,000 are brave and good at fighting. ”

"That's good." Zhang Mai said: "At the beginning, Ye Du changed banners, Zhao Pu had promised a section to make the position, a seal of five hundred miles, and I gave it to the festival degree, and the seal of five hundred miles was promised to you today." When the time comes, the three thousand soldiers will also go with you. ”

Fan Yanguang originally thought that he would be in a catastrophe, but he didn't expect Zhang Mai to keep his promise! couldn't react for a while, Sun Rui whispered a reminder behind his back. Fan Yanguang hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Zhang Mai said: "Hebei, Shandong, Ganlong, the land has its owner, and you can't give you 500 miles of land, and you don't want to do it piecemeal." This Youzhou has been emptied by the Khitans, and I am also going to build a new city in Beijing here, are you interested in this land? ”

Fan Yanguang hurriedly said: "The last general doesn't dare, please ask the marshal to give another piece of land." ”

"Okay." Zhang Mai said: "From Tianjin to the south, follow the winter monsoon and ocean currents. On the 20th, you can reach a large island, which is opposite Quanzhou. If you are willing to go there and open up a wide range of land, I will give you half of it, and I will prepare for you the shipping, the tools, the medicines, and the seeds. And allow you to guard there for generations, how about it? ”

Fan Yanguang was startled when he heard that Zhang Mai wanted him to go overseas, and shouted, "This ...... This...... The last general and his subordinates are all landlubbers, I'm afraid they won't be able to go to sea! Ask the marshal to choose another place. ”

Zhang Mai groaned. Said: "This goes to the east for thousands of miles, and then to the north for thousands of miles, there is a big river, called the Tongtong River (Songhua River), the land on both sides of the river is extremely fertile, if it is opened properly, it will inevitably become my Huaxia Beidacang in the future, after the Khitan is leveled, I will row five hundred miles there for you to operate, how?" ”

Fan Yanguang's face became very ugly! Give him a piece of land that is still in the hands of the Khitans, and it is also a bitter cold land outside the Guan, say that the soil is fertile, and what will be the future of Beidacang! Is Fan Yanguang a fool when he is there?

It's just that he can't do it, so he has to force a smile and say: "The last general is not good at farming, please ask the marshal to pick another place." ”

Zhang Mai frowned, and said: "Okay, the bank of the Luju River in Mobei is very empty now, there are abundant water and grass, and it is one of the top pastures in Mobei, since you are not good at farming, I will row five hundred miles there for you to graze." ”

Fan Yanguang heard that Zhang Mai was going to "match" him to Mobei, his face was even more ugly, Sun Rui couldn't help but stab Fan Yanguang, Fan Yanguang said stubbornly: "Marshal, we are not Hu people, we will not herd sheep!" ”

Zhang Mai said: "Then what will you do!" ”

Fan Yanguang said: "We ...... In addition to fighting, we will collect rent. ”

When the generals present heard this, they all despised them, feeling that this group of people had no courage on the battlefield and no merit, but they refused to suffer at all when they asked for a reward!

Zhang Mai said patiently: "Okay then." This goes to the west for five or seven thousand miles, crosses Ganlong, goes out of the Yumen Pass, along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, as for Shule, crosses the green ridge, and then goes west through the old border of Dawan Kingdom, which is the river where Guo Luo is located. There are not many Han people in the Hezhong region now, you migrated to the past, and let Guo Luo arrange a branch of the Silk Road for you, which is enough to ensure that you are rich for ten generations. How is it? ”

Fan Yanguang heard Zhang Mai say that the land in the river has to pass through Ganlong, go out of the Jade Gate, and go over the Green Ridge after arriving in Shule! And then walk through the old realm of Dawan Kingdom, this journey feels dizzy just by listening! Hurriedly knelt down and said, "Marshal, so far away, I'...... I'm afraid I won't be able to get there......"

Zhang Mai was rejected by him four times in a row, suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "I don't want to, I don't want to, what do you want!" Why don't I go and conquer Luoyang and seal the five hundred miles around Luoyang to you! ”
