Chapter 2: Why Are You So Rich?

Yun Chu has come to the top of the Qinling Mountains.

The mountains here are high, so the sky is very low.

Even the birds flew very low on the plains, watching a string of geese flying south against the top of the mountain, which made Yun Chu realize that it was already autumn at this time.

The north of the Qinling Mountains is dyed, colorful, and full of autumn scenes.

The south of the Qinling Mountains is still verdant.

A mountain range completely divides the land into north and south.

Turning over the Qinling Mountains, this is the south.

The south is very good, but the rain is surprisingly heavy, but fortunately, the rain is not heavy, and it does not affect the advance of the army.

Seeing the army meandering through the Qinling Mountains like a giant snake, the marching commander Shi Li Yuance wiped the rain from his face and said, "Dashuai, let's walk an extra 400 miles, just to let Dashuai see the scenery of Qinling?"

Yun Chu lifted the rainproof hood, looked at Li Yuance and said, "After enduring so many days, finally can't bear it?"

Li Yuance's eyes were slightly red, and he pointed to the soldiers who were struggling to move forward below, and said, "Why do you let the three armies suffer these indifferent hardships?"

Yun Chu sneered and said, "You don't need to understand, just execute it."

Li Yuance said in a trembling voice, "The marshal looks down on me?"

Yun Chu said, "If your father, King Zhao Jun, stands in your current position, he must understand, but you still don't understand, it can only mean that you are not as good as your father."

Li Yuance said angrily: "I want to go to this book to visit you."

Yun Chu stopped, looked at Li Yuance and said, "—!"

With that, he left the mountain surrounded by the guards and joined the marching army.

Just when Li Yuance was still thinking about what Yun Chu meant by the one, the deputy general Zhang Donghai came over and said to Li Yuance: "Let's go, don't question the marshal next time, this is not what you should do."

Li Yuance said, "If you act badly, can't you ask questions?"

Zhang Donghai said: "In the army, you only need one head to think about things, and the rest of the people are just a hundred limbs.

Li Yuance said, "If it's wrong, you can't ask?"

Zhang Donghai stopped and looked at Dongfang Youyu and said, "Wrong, we died together in Huangquan, when the prince led the army, he hated others chirping crookedly.

In fact, many generals are also very annoying when they are out in command, and their subordinates are crooked, especially those who like to chirp crookedly, and they are often the earliest to die in the army.

"General Zhang, what does the one that the marshal just said to me mean?"

Zhang Donghai shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the last time the big marshal said two, he killed more than 3,000 people from a big clan in the West Tanning Brown Department, and there was not one left."

Looking at Zhang Donghai's back as he descended the mountain, Li Yuance couldn't help but shudder.

Originally, he thought of reuniting the prestige of the Zhaojun Mansion in this battle of the Southwest, but he was a little indifferent.

After hearing the news of the defeat of the Southwest Third Route Army, Li Yuance was one of the few generals who asked to lead the troops to retaliate, and he did not think about the possibility of him being the commander-in-chief.

Unfortunately, the emperor finally chose Yun Chu, and at his repeated requests, he served as the marching commander in the army.

Li Yuance didn't feel much humiliation if he couldn't compete with Yunchu, he just felt regretful.

In his opinion, the war in the southwest is still going on, and the soldiers in front of the Tang Dynasty are struggling to support, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements every day, but Yun Chu would rather spend his precious time on the long march road for no reason, rather than march quickly.

After Zhang Donghai caught up with Yun Chu, he said softly, "I have already warned him."

Yun Chu said, "Why is King Fuling waiting for us in Xixiang? Where did he, a vassal king, get the power to leave Fuling?"

Zhang Donghai said: "The excuse is the labor army!"

Yun Chu said again, "Is Your Majesty's attitude towards the vassal king very good?"

Zhang Donghai said: "Under the two ups and downs, maybe the king of Shu still thinks that His Majesty is a timid and fearful king of Jin."

Yun Chu was puzzled and said, "Why does he think so, the same as him

Wu Wangke, who is a compatriot, has been beheaded, where did he get this confidence? 「

Zhang Donghai said with a smile: "I don't know, maybe he thinks that he is the sixth son of the emperor, His Majesty is the ninth son of the emperor, and the people in front of him are finished, so he thinks that he should be the emperor."

Yun Chu glanced at Zhang Donghai and said, "The meaning of instigation is very strong."

Zhang Donghai said with a smile: "Eldest grandson Wuji ambushed, Wu Wangke's case is clear, Your Majesty is not good at moving this person at this time, besides, this guy has no sin enough to be caught and beheaded, except that he likes to hunt, like to beat officials, and like to spoil the people.

However, the last general thinks that it is good for the marshal to use him to neutralize power in Shu."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "What did Your Majesty say?"

Zhang Donghai said: "Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered him to be quieter."

Yun Chu nodded, then ripped off his hood and continued to walk in the rain.

After crossing the Qinling Mountains, if you don't change to the west, you will continue to Fuling, that is, Yuzhou, but at this time, the importance of Yuzhou is far less than that of Fengjie Prefecture and Fuling County.

Today's Yuzhou weather is slightly warm, rich in lychees, from Xixiang to Fuling this section of the road is now nameless, and after eighty or ninety years, this road should be called Lychee Road, that is, the road that specially sent lychees to Yang Yuhuan.

That's right, the lychee that Yang Yuhuan likes to eat is produced in Shuzhong, not Lingnan.

Yun Chu had already made up his mind, as long as the King of Fuling didn't come to him for trouble, he would naturally not be idle and run hundreds of miles to Fuling to find trouble for him.

Although the army took the meridian road, the caravans they set out for three days in the early clouds did take the slope road, and according to the time, the Chang'an caravan should have arrived in Hanzhong at this time.

To be precise, Yun Chu's entry into the southwest this time was an experimental large-scale ethnic fusion, and the decisive factor that could really make those barbarians in the southwest surrender was the stomach, not the head.

The barbarians' brains are not very bright, this is not necessarily, but their hungry stomachs can make a lot of decisions instead of their brains, and it is their bellies that Yun Chu really conquers when he goes to the southwest this time, not his heads.

Therefore, countless goods are the real magic weapons.

After crossing the Qinling Mountains, it was all the way downhill, which was good news for the tired army, so the speed of the march gradually accelerated.

The former army had already seen the sparse dwellings, but when the army came, no one could see them in the dwellings, but on the distant hills, some thieves could be seen.

The houses are all simple bamboo buildings, and the pigs under the bamboo buildings are nowhere to be seen, and the scouts searched many villages, and finally found a few old guys who only had one breath left, and they didn't know anything.

The scouts from Chang'an were afraid that these old people would be scared to death, so as not to be unclear, so they left the dry food in their arms for the old guys.

"Obviously toothless, but gnawing on the pot helmet is like a wolf."

Because he had no weight, Li Chengxiu went to act as a scout for a while, and came back with emotion.

Yun Jin frowned and said, "Are they poor?"

Li Chengxiu said: "Remove that word, they are not only very poor, when I went to the southwest to fight, I thought that the poorest were those barbarians, but I didn't expect that this place is separated from Chang'an by a Qinling Mountains, just fucking poor, let me tell you, there are two old men who simply have no pants and a broken animal skin tied around their waists, which is more like a barbarian than a barbarian."

Yun Jin said, "Okay, I'll go to the scout's military affairs next time."

Wen Huan, who was dozing off with her eyes closed, barely opened her eyes and said, "That place is not suitable for people like you to see.

Yun Jin said: "When we went to Hebei Province, it was not that we had never seen the poor, I didn't go to see the excitement, but I wanted to actually see what kind of poverty people can bear, and still be able to live without rebellion."

Li Si said on the side, "Should people rebel when they are poor?"

Yun Jin said: "Aya said that if a person can work hard all his life and be extremely poor, then there must be something wrong with the world, if he doesn't know how to be a thief, a thief

If you rob your house or rebel, you deserve to starve to death."

Li Si said, "How wrong it sounds to me."

Wen Huan said on the side, "First withdraw your identity from Princess Anding, and return to the identity of the Yun Clan's disciple, this sentence is easy to understand

Li Si said, "Rebellion will kill people."

Di Guangsi said, "After a large number of people die, the rest of the people will be able to eat, this is also what Master said when he taught the periodic law of the dynasty, you won't forget it, right?"

Li Si scratched his forehead and said, "I don't like these schoolwork."

Yun Jin said, "We came to the southwest, in fact, we are here to take practical classes, so it is important to take a look at the field, feel it on the spot, and see what these people think."

Li Si said: "Anyway, I don't like it, you must take the six brothers of the Cheng family to go, let them go in case of danger, and let them break off when they escape, I think it works very well."

The military discipline of the Yunchu army is notoriously strict, and the soldiers of Chang'an Mansion have heard of it, so although the army is not up to the level of Qiu Wuwu, it is also kind to the people on both sides of the road.

Although it is difficult to keep the ripe oranges on the trees, at least the chickens that are held in the arms of the common people have not yet been snatched by anyone.

Yun Jin and his party were scouts, so they didn't take the main road, but scattered and drilled into the villages on both sides of the road to see if there would be ambushes here.

Surrounded by green water, lush pines and cypresses, and scattered with more than a dozen bamboo buildings, the appearance of the village is indeed beautiful.

Just after seeing those dark people, all the beauty brought by the environment disappeared in an instant.

Gently looking at a dirty little baby who almost didn't see it, she said to Yun Jin: "Hebei Province is short of water, and it is understandable that people there do not take a bath, and the people here are not short of water, and it seems that there is no shortage of firewood, why don't you know how to wash yourself?"

Yun Jin said, "I think there must be a reason, and we have to find out this reason today."

Di Guangsi glanced around and said, "There is a big bamboo building here, and there are tiles on the bamboo building, and the lintel is painted."

Li Chengxiu glanced at it and said, "It's just a rich family."

Yun Jin looked at it for a while before he arrived, "No, this family is different from everyone around."

Li Chengxiu said, "What's the difference?" 「

Yun Jin said: "This family is more than 100 times richer than the rest of the families, this is far away from the surrounding cities, it can be called a mountain nest, there are no workshops around, and there are no mineral deposits, so I want to know how this family is so rich."
