Dayu controls the water, floating on the stones, as for the dragon gate.

Jishi Mountain is an important place connecting the plateau.

Set up a pass at the mouth of the gorge, piled up with rocks, countless years of wind and sun, has long lost its original appearance.

On this basis, Ye Sujiang built a stone fort, with cliffs on three sides, and only a sheep intestine path in the south entered the mountain.

As soon as Ye Sujiang died, the Hu people inside surrendered.

Looking at this husband's posture, Yang Zheng secretly said that he was fortunate to have killed him outside, otherwise he would have been beaten if he retracted inside?

Ge Shuhan, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, paid tens of thousands of elites for a stone fort.

There are also tens of thousands of catties of ore and some gold mines and grain in the fort, all of which are now cheaper Yang Zheng.

Jishi Mountain is a very large geographical concept, and the snow and ice have not yet melted and cannot be explored.

Yang Zheng simply stayed in the stone castle and counted the prisoners, more than 2,000 Hu people, which could be used as free labor mining.

Among them, there were hundreds of blacksmiths that made Yang Zheng ecstatic.

However, after watching them strike iron, I immediately understood why the quality of their iron tools was so poor.

One is firewood, and the other is that there is no blower.

The temperature provided by firewood is not enough, and the relatively high altitude of Jishi Mountain makes the air slightly thinner, and the temperature of the flame cannot keep up.

I have never eaten pork, and I have always seen pigs run.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the bellows were invented, named Lugong.

There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching: Between heaven and earth, it is still a slurrel? Void but unyielding, moving and getting more and more.

The operating principle of the bellows is basically summarized.

It is precisely because of the emergence of the Lu Gong that China gradually entered the Iron Age.

And now the Hu people are still in the exploration stage.

"These people will be strictly guarded in the future, don't starve them, and don't freeze them, I will be of great use in the future." Yang Zheng said to Jiang Faye.

"No." Jiang Faye obeyed.

The successive victories made everyone around him respect Yang Zheng more and more.

Many of the old pawns originally just wanted to live.

After coming to Longxi, he not only lived, but also married a Qiang woman and gave birth to a few big fat boys.

The days are also thriving.

Yang Zheng's slogan is one family, but there is always a difference between the top and bottom in a family, isn't it?

After settling down for a while, Yang Zheng took the camp and Qiang camp back to Caohan, leaving Duan Da 300 Han troops to guard the mine, and handed over the rest to Jiang Faye.

The nominal owner of Jishi Mountain is Jiang Faye.

First, it is to cover people's eyes and ears, and secondly, it is also convenient to recruit nearby Qiang people.

Zhang Te, as usual, stayed in the Xihe camp to train the Qiang soldiers.

Yang Zheng drove more than 1,000 high-grade Qiang horses to Di Dao.

Although it is not as good as Liangzhou horses, it is still qualified as a scout and light horse.

The battle in Mingyue Gorge cannot be concealed for a long time.

There is no need for Yang Zheng to hide it.

It is the duty of the western governor to intervene in the Qiang, and if he does nothing and allows the Qiang people to swallow each other and gradually grow, it is a real dereliction of duty.

Deng Ai of Nan'an County took a bigger step.

The Qiang in the territory is all disobedient and weak.

In Longxi in March, the cold wind gradually has a sense of warmth.

The snow and ice near Dido are already melting.

Xiahou Ba saw Qiang Ma and smiled from ear to ear, "You did a good job this time, he has always been ambitious, Xihai Hu's strength has gradually increased in recent years, threatening the border, but is this Jiang Faye reliable?" Those who are not of our race will have different hearts. ”

Yang Zheng arched his hand and said: "This person helped me repel the Shu army last time, his unit is very small, and he has offended Oh He Yaoge, so he can only rely on us." ”

Yang Zheng concealed the relationship between the two and his son-in-law, and also concealed that the real owner of Jishi Mountain was himself.

Everyone should be a little secret.

Xiahou Ba nodded, "Yes, Zhao Chongguo was also the same back then. ”

Yang Zheng saw that he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "There is a shortage of armor and weapons under his subordinates, I don't know if the general can transfer some blacksmiths?" ”

"It's such a trivial matter, you can do it yourself." Xiahouba didn't care.

"Thank you, General." Yang Zheng was overjoyed.

Xiahou Ba waved his hand, and the left and right guards retreated.

Yang Zheng knew that he had something important to say.

"Recently, Guo Huai wants to transfer Zhonglang to exile Guo into Longxi."

Guo Dun?

Yang Zheng sighed in his heart, won't he come at himself again?

Guo Dun was born in the side branch of the Guo family in Xiping, known for his talent and virtue, but his reputation in Liangzhou is higher than that of Guo Jian, who is too shou in Xiping.

However, Yang Zheng did not have a bad impression of this person, and still remembered that when he was in the Shangqi military discussion, only he and Hu Fen helped him talk.

"You don't have to be nervous, Guo Dun has secretly thrown himself into the general."

"Is that so?" Yang Zheng didn't expect that someone would throw himself at Cao Shuang.

Xiahou said domineeringly: "Xiping Guo is favored by the first emperor, and the Empress Dowager Guo is still in the court, Guo does not vote for the general, do you want to vote for Sima?" ”

Since it is his own person, Yang Zheng is not panicked.

With Xiahouba's consent, it was much more convenient for Yang Zheng to find a blacksmith in Di Dao City.

In these years, even ordinary people are the target of plunder, let alone craftsmen?

In that year, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led 20,000 people to attack Anhui City, broke it, and won more than 30,000 people from Yuan Shu and preaching the trilogy.

Craftsmen and slaves were almost the same, and they were under the unified management of the government.

Blacksmiths, in particular, were tightly controlled.

Yang Zheng didn't go too far, secretly searched, picked some skilled blacksmiths, carpenters, and leathersmiths, and brought them to Caohan with his family.

Coincidentally, Feng Qi's armor also arrived.

With the market price of Liangzhou Malaysia, Yang Zheng thought about how he could exchange seven or eight hundred sets of armor and weapons.

But the facts slapped Yang Zheng in the face again.

No treachery, no business.

There were only three hundred sets of armor, five hundred ring-headed swords, and seven hundred spears.

There are only more than 70 sets of iron armor, and the rest are leather armor, which is still stained with blood, and it looks second-hand.

Yang Zheng had a calm face, "How can you not be honest in business!" ”

Feng Fatzi said with an innocent face: "Oh, Brother Yang doesn't know, now that the entire Yongliang is short of weapons, it is not easy to get so much." ”

"Isn't your master supernatural?" Yang Zheng was a little annoyed, feeling that he had been tricked by this guy.

Feng Fatzi smiled bitterly: "How can my master care about these trivial things? ”

Yang Zheng was depressed in his heart, without armor and weapons, he could only be a group of bandits.

Fortunately, I never thought about relying on anyone.

Self-reliance is king.

Although it is a cooperative relationship with Feng Qi, he does not know anything about the forces behind him.

It's a bad feeling to be standing in the light and the other person in the dark.

It seems that he is always being held by the other party.

And their own demand for ordnance will inevitably be seen by the other party.

"Looks like you're asking for food?" Yang Zheng's eyes flickered.

Feng Fatzi's whole body trembled, and he smiled shyly: "Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Yang also has to understand the hardships of our waiting." ”

"Take the things away, and in the future, they will be delivered in Liangzhou Malaysia." didn't know the details of the other party, and Yang Zheng didn't dare to tear his face easily, just return to the past.

The crux of the problem is that Zhao Aqi and Gongsun Fu have not grown up, and they can't find out the bottom of each other.

However, Yang Zheng is not in a hurry, there are many opportunities.

There will always be some clues.

Feng Qi's eyes flashed, "Since Brother Yang said it, then let's do it according to the previous rules, and these things should be regarded as reparations." ”

Yang Zheng nodded, his mind was on the iron mine, and he didn't have time to talk to Feng Qi for a long time, so he sent the guest away after a few words of greeting.
