Chapter 539: Jade Gate Pass (2)
"I want your ......"
"I can't give this!" Xie Xun hugged his chest and jumped away from the distance, "This son of the world sells his art, not his body!" ”
Si Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "Who said I want your body!" Just your thin and short frustration, stripped naked, Miss Ben didn't bother to take a look! ”
Xie Xun let out a long breath, "That's good, that's good!" ”
Tigress, he really didn't want to mess with. Sister Yu is gentle and virtuous, when she encounters such a hot little pepper, she won't be bullied to death?
No, absolutely not!
Si Wenjing grinded with silver teeth, "Am I so annoying to you?" ”
Scared like that!
Even if she was a tigress, she was still hurt by Xie Xun's behavior.
"It's not that I hate it, your personality is actually quite cute......" Hot Chili became angry, Xie Xun decided that it was better not to tell the truth, "It's just that Chu Yu is too gentle, I'm afraid of making a hot one into the backyard, her small body can't resist." ”
Hmph, Si Wenjing's chin was raised high, "Miss Ben is not uncommon to be a concubine!" Especially you, even if there is only one man left in the world, Miss Ben would rather die alone than marry you! ”
Xie Xun pretended to be sad, "I hate this son so much? This son is not that bad, is it? At least it's better than the beggars at the city gates, right? ”
Poof, Si Wenjing smiled, "You're just a little bit better than a beggar!" ”
Seeing that people laughed, Xie Xun let out a breath, although he had no intention of provoking this hot little pepper, he didn't want to hurt her self-esteem. Besides, he really doesn't hate this straightforward girl, her figure and face are so eye-catching, if she can restrain her temper a little, there should be many men who fall in love with her.
"What exactly do you want?" Xie Xun brought the topic back.
"I'm going to learn from you all the tricks and tricks and formations."
Xie Xun rolled his eyes, "This son of the world is called Tao Luo, he can't praise people, so he won't talk less!" ”
With a big yawn, Xie Xun raised his legs across the threshold, turned his back to Si Wenjing and waved his hand, "When I repel those ants in the Western Regions, I will spare an hour every day to teach you." I'm so tired, I'll go to sleep first, you can take care of yourself. ”
Xie Xun bowed his head to the bedroom, but he didn't see that the smile on Si Wenjing's face was gone, and the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness and loss......
In the early morning of the next day, a group of men and horses quietly left Yumen Pass and headed west.
That night, the Western Regions Coalition Army arrived outside the Yumen Pass.
Yumen Pass is the border gateway of the Han land and the Western Regions, and the majestic pass is majestic and magnificent.
The lord of the Dayue clan couldn't help but sigh, "In the end, the Han people are smart, look at the construction of this city wall, tsk, every time I come here, I want to step on it!" ”
The eldest prince of Kangju held a horsewhip in his right hand, pointed to Guancheng, and said nonsense, "At most three days, this prince will invite the lord of the country to enter Yumen Pass to hunt!" ”
For the countries of the Western Regions, hunting is not hunting, but plundering.
The king of the Otsuki clan twisted his beard and laughed, "I want to wear it alone!" I heard that Xie Shizi was in the pass, and the prince was still careful. ”
"Don't worry, the lord of the kingdom, this prince has a number." The eldest prince of Kangju returned to the camp.
On the city wall, Jiuwan frowned, "Why didn't Maozi in the Western Regions send troops to attack the city?" ”
Ordinary people, even if they are tired from the journey, will send horses and pawns to test the enemy's combat effectiveness.
"Maybe I want to rest and attack the city again. After all, 150,000 horses is not too much...... This time, the commander is a tolerant one. Xie Xun lazily shook Erlang's legs, threw a grape into his mouth, and bared his teeth in disgust, "Damn, this unimproved grape is really unpalatable!" ”
Jiuwan handed over a slice of melon, "Shizi Ye eat this, it tastes good." ”
Xie Xun waved his hand, "Don't eat it, send two carts of melons and grapes to Zhangye." ”
After entering the border of Ganzhou, Xie Xun left Chu Yu and Jin Bo in Zhangye. Zhangye has green mountains and forests, and the climate is good. Most of the Xie clansmen are also in Zhangye.
Although the grapes and honeydew melons in Dunhuang are far inferior to the modern taste, in Ganzhou, where materials are scarce, they can be a snack.
"Damn, this Ganzhou is also poor! I don't know where the Pei family used to make so much money and food to raise soldiers? ”
He had been leading troops to fight before, and Xie Xun didn't pay much attention to the local economy and people's livelihood. In the past two days, he investigated the local residents and merchants, and found that the source of income in Ganzhou was all dependent on the food, lodging and transportation consumption of the caravans.
In the past, the Central Plains was stable, and there was an endless stream of caravans coming and going to the Silk Road, and the people of Ganzhou could also eat enough. Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, the trade routes are blocked, and the countries of the Western Regions are ready to move again, the people of Yumen Pass say that they have not seen a caravan for more than a month.
"Lord Shizi, otherwise let's learn from the Pei family and suppress bandits to collect money?"
Xie Xun supported his chin with his right hand and pouted, "The bandits must be suppressed." But as far as I know, the real way for the Pei family to accumulate wealth is not to suppress bandits, but to plunder caravans. ”
Since ancient times, officials and bandits have not been separated, and the people of Ganzhou have secretly called the Pei family "officials and bandits."
Xie Xun's family plans to run Ganzhou well, so naturally he can't do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall. Besides, even if he wanted to rob the caravan, no one would come!
"We still have to find a way to revitalize the local economy!"
If this way of wealth continues, the people will not be able to eat, and there will be chaos sooner or later.
Nine bowls of murder and arson are first-class, and it is a pure layman to engage in the economy, but he has a clever trick, "Otherwise, the prince will make a few strange goods and sell them to the countries of the Western Regions?" ”
Xie Xun did think about this, but Ganzhou's resources are limited, and it is difficult for him to cook without rice for the time being!
"Lord Shizi, the spy has sent a letter." Nine bowls present an eagle letter.
After Xie Xun saw it, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and stood up, "Damn, fortunately, this son of the world made arrangements in advance, otherwise he would really fall for the tricks of those ants!" ”
"What treacherous scheme?" Nine bowls asked.
Xie Xun threw the eagle letter to the nine bowls. After reading it, Jiuwan said urgently, "My subordinates will send people to block those secret passages!" ”
After the Snow Country captured Yumen Pass before, they secretly dug many secret passages.
At the beginning, Rahman, the national teacher of the Snow Country, escaped from the secret passage while Tian Qing was being dragged down.
"The exits of the secret passages are all sealed, how do you find them?"
Rahman was afraid that Tian Qing would pursue along the secret passage and seal the exit inside the Jade Gate. The wind and sand in Yumen Pass are dry, and the newly turned soil will dry up in five days at most, and it is impossible to distinguish the old from the new.
Outside the city, in the camp of the Western Regions Alliance.
The eldest prince of Kangju shook the map in his hand and laughed, "Thanks to the wonderful plan of the national teacher!" At night, our army sneaked into Yumen Pass through these secret passages and slashed the Han people in their sleep...... It doesn't take much effort to take this Xiongguan! Hahaha......"
Rahman bowed and saluted, "The dog that lost his family, to be appreciated by the prince, is the third life of Rahman is lucky." ”
"Hey, the national teacher is too modest." The eldest prince of Kangju held Rahman's arm, "When we win this battle and return to the national capital, this prince will definitely borrow men and horses for the national division to attack Dawan and regain the lost land of the Snow Country according to the agreement!" ”
After the Snow Country was destroyed by the Seven Western Regions Coalition led by Dawan, Rahman wandered around the Western Regions, looking for allies to borrow troops to restore the country.
He went to many countries, but he couldn't borrow soldiers and horses, and it happened that the Western Regions Alliance army lobbied Dawan to attack Han and failed, and he finally saw the light. With his three-inch tongue, all kinds of sowing discord, and offering a clever plan to attack Yumen Pass, he finally moved the eldest prince of Kangju, promised to capture Yumen Pass, and lent troops to him to recover the lost territory. However, Prince Kangju demanded that Dawan must be attacked first!
Dawan's refusal to join the alliance, and the resentment of Prince Kangju's intention to retaliate are all the result of Rahman's provocation.
Rahman agreed. Although Dawan is difficult to deal with, once Dawan is defeated, there are only a few small countries left!
Hmph, Xie Xun, you help Dawan destroy my Snow Country, and I will wash the Jade Gate in blood tonight!
