Tang Jian's topic was only carried out once, and then he kept a straight face and did not talk to Liu Fan, Liu Fan actually had some conjectures of his own about this.

During this time, the court estimated that there were some problems, so Tang Jian smelled a different risk, Tang Jian's question, more like a person without a direction looking for direction, and Liu Fan's words were undoubtedly the worst answer, when it was found that Liu Fan was not optimistic about the development of the family, Tang Jian, as the head of an old family, had to think about how his people should survive in the next few days.

Of course, this is just Liu Fan's conjecture, as the helmsman of the Tang clan in Jinyang (Taiyuan), at least Liu Fan has not heard of any important changes that have happened to them, which shows that Tang Jian has enough wisdom to resolve the next crisis.

Winter travel is the most troublesome thing in this era, and it also makes Liu Fan see the charm of ten miles and one country, of course, many times it is a group of people driving on the empty and uninhabited wilderness, often walking for a long time before encountering a cooking smoke, and people can often be seen frozen to death on the road, some people even become ice sculptures, and they will also see businessmen walking with blood.

When these merchants saw Tang Jian's convoy, they would stop and salute, and only after Tang Jian and the others left, would they continue to drive the mule cart to the next place.

"It's the New Year!"

Tang Jian squinted and said.

The wind and snow were very strong, Liu Fan wore a cotton hood, and followed Tang Jian side by side, although there was no position in the army, but the title was not low, and now it was still in the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Jian's constraints on military discipline were not high.

"Linjia Village will be very lively this year!" Liu Fan was a little homesick, this time he came out in too much of a hurry, and sometimes he felt that all this was like a dream when he thought about it.

Tang Jian pointed to the front and said, "This is where you arrested Luo Yi in the first place?" ”

Liu Fan looked at the front a little blankly, and Tang Jian continued: "This is Wushi County!" ”

Only then did Liu Fan know that everyone had come to Gansu, but at this time, three years had passed since the beginning, and now it was already a matter of people, and the villages that had fled here also had smoke.

Tang Jian didn't mean to give Liu Fan the intention to continue talking, and frowned and said, "If we are a little slower, we can be beheaded!" ”

Liu Fan did not doubt the authenticity of Tang Jian's words at all, and when the order was given, everyone immediately quickened their pace, and they must arrive at the Turkic tent within a few days, which is a forced requirement.

As soon as the speed increased, the ranks of the dead people along the way began to die, and the dead were basically people, and they had no guarantee at all when they walked in such a cold season, especially after the speed was fast, their lives became extremely fragile, and they were either frozen to death, or they were whipped to death by the supervising sergeant.

Liu Fan found Tang Jian, Tang Jian kicked Liu Fan out, and when he found that Liu Fan was ordering his troops to treat these poor people, Tang Jian sighed slightly, but walked faster on the second day.

After five days of forcible action, they finally entered the grassland, and at this time, there were already surrendered Turkic soldiers waiting for Tang Jian's arrival, and then everyone followed the Turkic soldiers to continue to move north.

Wang Xuance has long lost the smile he had at the beginning, his face is wrinkled together like a meat bun at this moment, and when he saw Liu Fan entering the carriage from the outside, he smiled bitterly: "Are we going to die?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"When I came out of the border pass a few days ago, the city wall was preparing for the siege, which was to prevent the next Turkic counterattack!" Wang Xuance sneezed and said.

Liu Fan said: "You mean, the army of the imperial court has already begun to set off?" ”

"Winter, in the original is not suitable for troops at all, especially for the Turks, they prefer to send troops in summer or autumn, and in winter they prefer Guo Lun, to train the next generation of warriors, and when spring comes, they will turn these little cubs into a qualified warrior, so in previous years, even if the Turks occasionally harassed in winter, it was normal, and the border pass would not pay too much attention, and now the border pass attaches so much importance to it for only one reason, that is, this time the battle is big enough, Big enough for the Turks to fight against the water, it is very likely to threaten the border cities! ”

Wang Xuance said with a smile: "Actually, if this is the case, then you can guess why Uncle Tang asked you the question before, he is using this time to lay a safe foundation for his family, if he has an accident, but the Jinyang Tang family is the safest, if there is no accident, presumably this time I can go back to the Jinyang Tang family to get enough profits!" ”

Liu Fan suddenly realized, and then looked at Wang Xuance with a smile and said, "You can see it clearly!" ”

Wang Xuance smiled bitterly: "What's the use of seeing clearly, this time I came out with a big loss, but Brother Fan, if you don't die this time, hehe, you will definitely get a huge profit after you go back, believe it or not?" ”

Liu Fan said: "Political profits, to be honest, I don't particularly want it, but that was the idea before, not now, what I want now is to give me a little more time to develop the village, and when the village can really influence a country's economy, hehe, then I will be safe!" ”

Wang Xuance understood what Liu Fan meant by safety, the whole village was actually the closest to Liu Fan's thinking was Wang Xuance, the two also had a lot of personal relationships, and the things they talked about were often only the two of them who could talk, so when he saw Liu Fan's longing look, Wang Xuance didn't say anything.

After a few more days, Tang Jian ordered Liu Fan and others to come out, this time the people from Honglu Temple did not come, so Tang Jian's deputies were Liu Fan and Wang Xuance, "Change clothes, you can see Jieli Khan tonight!" ”

Liu Fan and Wang Xuance glanced at each other, obediently returned to the carriage and began to change clothes.

By evening, the carriage had entered the heart of the Turkic power.

Even in winter, the Turkic warriors sat on their horses and rode bare-chested, and the shouts were heard far away, Tang Jian accepted the Turkic search with a smile on his face, and then was led to the place where the tooth tent was.

Inside the tent, Jieli's eyes stared at the three people who came in like eagles.

And next to Jieli sat a Han woman, but she was Princess Yicheng.

Tang Jian bowed his hand and said: "Weichen sees the Khan, and comes to discuss with the Khan about the beginning of next year on the order of my emperor!" ”

Jieli sneered: "I saw you in Weishui back then, but now you are old!" ”

Tang Jian said with a smile: "Although Weichen is old, but Datang is young, if the old man's aging body can be buried in the grassland, it is also a beautiful talk!" ”

"The grassland is our grassland, he buried the real warriors of the grassland, your emperor wants to not be attacked by us next spring, you should show your sincerity, this king can go to Weishui once back then, and this king can go again next year, hahahaha!" Jieli laughed out loud after speaking, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down.

Princess Yicheng, who was sitting at the top, looked at Tang Jian coldly and said, "Duke Tang, why don't you salute when you see this princess!" ”

Tang Jian said with a smile: "The former ministers of the former dynasty should see the princess and salute, and this official is the ...... of the Tang Dynasty."

"Presumptuous! Shouldn't you be the princess who killed you now? Princess Yicheng said angrily.

Tang Jian smiled and didn't speak again.
