Chapter 113: Hexi Experience
In the land west of the river, the cold wind carried the cold to invade the earth, and in the city of Ganzhou, the pedestrians on the street involuntarily wrapped their clothes.
Among these pedestrians, there was a merchant from the Western Regions who hurried to a remote place in the western corner of the city, and this person was Hu Yange, who had colluded with Ji Pu and others to spread rumors.
After a while, Huyange rushed to a courtyard in the west of the city, looked around left and right, and knocked on the courtyard door.
I saw a middle-aged man slowly open half of the wooden door and poke his head out to observe the situation outside.
"Brother Huyange, it's you." The middle-aged man opened the door as he spoke, welcomed Hu Yange in, and then slammed the door shut.
"Brothers, the opportunity has come, my master has a letter." Huyango said excitedly to Ji Pu and the others.
Ji Pu and the others looked at Huyango expectantly, waiting for Huyango to say the following.
"Brothers, my master has a new edict, let us strike again, I believe that this time we will definitely be able to provoke a war between the Yue Clan and Great Qin."
"What are we supposed to do?"
Hu Yange stretched out his hand and beckoned Ji Pu and the others to his side, and whispered to Ji Pu and the others about his master's plan.
"What? Brother Huyange, isn't this a bit too risky, once we fail, do we still have a way to live? Jipp said in surprise.
"Brother Ji Pu, think about it, although this time is extremely dangerous, once we succeed, then the Qin State and the Yue Clan will not immediately fall into a big war. At that time, my master will raise troops to the south, and Daqin will inevitably fall into chaos, and you can also wait for the opportunity to find an opportunity to assassinate Fusu. ”
Listening to Hu Yange's words, Ji Pu's puzzled eyes gradually cleared, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes, "It's out." As long as I can avenge the king, I will not be afraid of death. ”
"Brother Ji Pu Gao Yi, I admire it."
Huyango saw that Jipu was willing to act according to his master's plan, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
After getting Ji Pu and the others, Hu Yange quickly left the residence of Ji Pu and the others, and rushed back to his own shops in the prosperous part of Ganzhou City, several of which were not only Hu Yange's cattle and sheep in the Western Regions, but also his stronghold in Ganzhou City.
These shops on the streets in the center of Ganzhou City were originally built for Great Qin and foreign merchants, and according to the regulations, as long as they paid the rent stipulated by the government, whether they were Qin people or foreign merchants, they could rent the shops on this street.
The reason why Huyange chose his stronghold in this prosperous place is also for safety reasons, as the so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, this truth has been the ultimate since ancient times. But anyone who has some insight will follow this principle from time to time.
Half an hour later, Hu Yange handed over a secret letter to a man, who took the secret letter out of Ganzhou City under the pretext of buying goods and driving cattle and sheep, and then handed it over to a group of "merchants" waiting outside the city.
Just when Ji Pu and the others acted in accordance with Huyange's plan, Zhou Bo entered the Hexi Corridor with 10,000 people and marched along the Qilian Mountains to Ganzhou City.
In the middle of winter, Qilian Mountain has already put on a snow hat woven with snow, and Zhou Bo and more than 10,000 tiger soldiers are wearing cotton clothes with sheepskin sandwiching, and they are stepping on suede boots, braving the cold wind and quietly marching towards Ganzhou City.
If you change to the Great Qin soldiers in the past, where can you wear winter clothes with sheepskin sandwich? Since Fusu opened the trade routes between Daqin and the countries of the Western Regions, the Jingniu (a breed of yak) and long-haired Han sheep from the Western Regions have been able to enter Daqin continuously, so that Qin has a certain number of cattle and sheepskins, plus the leather craftsmen recruited from the Yue clan when the land of Hexi was recovered before, which enabled the Daqin Ordnance and Ordnance Institute to produce a certain number of leather water bladders, suede boots and sandwich winter coats with sheepskins.
For this trip to Hexi, Zhou Bo was full of confidence, this was the first time that Fusu gave him the opportunity to lead troops alone, although it was only to find out the mastermind behind the disappearance of the Great Qin Mission, but Zhou Bo still attached great importance to this operation. There is no other reason, after all, this is the first time he has shown his face in front of Fusu, and if he does not achieve a perfect result, he is a little sorry for Fusu's entrustment.
Walking all the way along the land of Hexi, although the cold is awe-inspiring, the faces of the people in the land of Hexi are filled with the brilliance of happiness, even those foreign businessmen who do business in Hexi are all festive, all of which makes Zhou Bo feel incredible.
The land of Hexi has always been a bitter cold and desolate place in Zhou Bo's cognition, but this trip to Hexi has completely subverted Zhou Bo's cognition, whether it is those people who are full of confidence in life, or the tall and magnificent city, they are all impacting Zhou Bo's solidified cognition, all the way to the west, all the way shocking, imperceptibly changing Zhou Bo's cognition of Fusu, but as far as the matter of passing through the Western Regions, Fusu's foresight and wisdom are not comparable to him.
I think that at the beginning, after Liu Bang returned to Daqin, he and Xiahou Ying, Wang Ling and other military generals were placed in Fusu to study military affairs at the Great Qin Military Academy, while a group of advisers such as Cao Shen were sent to Hexi by Fusu.
Zhou Bo was dissatisfied with this arrangement of Fusu for a long time, and in his opinion, letting Cao Shen and others come to Hexi to assist Shusun Tong was a different way of saying it.
Now looking at the situation in the land of Hexi, Zhou Bo realized that he was wrong, but all the officials who participated in the land of Hexi in the city of Jingluo, the career of the future must not be bad, according to the situation he saw, Hexi in the bitter cold land has become a rich people, the city is majestic Daqin commercial town, these people's merits can be imagined, and not long ago, Fusu took most of the civil and military officials to inspect Hexi, this uncle Sun Tong and the officials who accompanied him through the Hexi land have been announced to the world, and there is such a meritorious serviceIt's hard to get promoted!
In addition to Zhou Bo, the 10,000 tiger soldiers were shocked, and along the way, they also sincerely burst out of their pride and self-confidence as Qin people. In their eyes, the future of this land west of the river is bright.
When the 10,000 soldiers rushed to the city of Ganzhou, they could no longer suppress their excitement, and saw a large city second only to Xianyang standing quietly on the land of Hexi, and smoke rose from the city. The man-made miracle complements the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the sunset near the mountains gilds the city of Ganzhou with a faint layer of gold, which makes the city of Ganzhou under the afterglow give birth to a sense of grandeur of loneliness, like a dream.
Until this moment, Zhou Bo felt a sense of pride as a Qin person from the depths of his heart, and he also clearly realized how wise it was for his lord Liu Bang to choose to surrender to Great Qin.
A male lord who dares to build such a big city out of thin air in the land west of the river, does Liu Bang still have a chance to win in front of him?
