After several months of war, it is rare for Yanzhou to enter a period of calm, and it is also the calm after the victory of the king, which is particularly precious. Zhang Changan, Buchen and others may not feel the rarity of this peace, but Gesang has begun to fantasize about a better life in the future.

The shepherdess's dream never changed: on a sunny and mild day, when the grass was abundant, she waved her whip and rode on her steed to drive the cattle and sheep that could not see the edge, and she would sing happily to the songs of the grassland when she listened to the bleating of the sheep.

How many cattle and sheep should there be at a glance, or a hundred, at least? If there were a dozen more cows and a few horses in the middle, it would be a scene where you would wake up laughing in your dreams. As for more, Gesang couldn't imagine that the chiefs of the tribe only had so much property.

Zhang Changan got it from Buchen and gave it to Gesang, but the dozen or so lambs were scattered and died in the war, leaving only a weak lamb. That was still Gesang in the chaos, holding him in his arms, no matter how embarrassed he followed Zhang Changan, he never threw it away.

Losing most of the sheep, Gesang was sad for a long time, and the beaded tears never stopped, and he didn't even have the heart to eat. If Zhang Changan hadn't contacted the army and reported his own situation, it would have taken only one day to come back, but I am afraid that Gesang would be half starved to death.

However, seeing Zhang Changan coming over with a rice bowl, Gesang, who would have happily pounced on him in the past, shrank back this time, and hugged the lamb in his arms tightly with a look of vigilance and fright. Because of the excessive strength, the lamb was overwhelmed by her, and the bleating cry was already miserable.

For Gesang at this moment, Zhang Changan already belongs to the kind of people who are not worth believing completely.

The reason is very simple, when the war was chaotic, Zhang Changan pulled her to run, and even asked her to leave those sheep alone, especially the little lamb in her arms, which seriously affected her actions and limited her flexibility and combat effectiveness in all aspects.

If Zhang Changan hadn't dragged her around and was eager, Gesang wouldn't have only one sheep left.

Zhang Changan's behavior is completely unacceptable in Gesang's view. The shepherds on the steppe must not abandon their cattle and sheep at any time, without which the shepherds will not be able to live, and will die if the cold winter is not over, and will be looked down upon by all the herdsmen.

Therefore, the shepherd can fight for his cattle and sheep.

As for what Zhang Changan said, after the war, she will have as many cattle and sheep as she wants, which is completely nonsense in Gesang's view. Shepherds do not put their hopes in things that are not in front of them. The so-called hundred birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand.

"Don't worry about your sheep, the battle here is over, and I won't let you lose it again. Zhang Changan only felt that his head was as big as a fight, and sometimes he couldn't communicate normally with this stubborn grassland girl, "Okay, okay, it's time for you to eat." ”

Seeing that Gesang still looked distrustful, Zhang Changan put down the rice bowl, sighed, looked at her and said seriously: "Seven days, at most seven days, the merit evaluation in the army will be completed, and you can have as many cattle and sheep as you want at that time." You will have your own clan, you can be a chieftain, and no one will dare to bully you, because the king will help you....."

Having said that, Zhang Changan continued, and the distrustful look on Gesang's face had gradually turned into anger, as if he was blaming Zhang Changan for treating her as a fool.

The conversation between Zhang Changan and Gesang was seen by Shangguan Chengcheng, who passed by and inspected the camp

In the eyes.

She likes Gesang very much, a strong and simple girl, although in the eyes of the Tang people, her inherent way of thinking will sometimes seem silly, but such a little girl is obviously very likable.

"Your Highness, I see Gesang's military merits and rewards, so I should give her as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass Zhang Changan in front of her. ”

Shangguan Chengcheng turned his head to Li Ye beside him and said, Zhang Chang'an is her subordinate, for the victory of the Battle of Yanzhou, she went deep into the enemy territory and took great risks, and made great contributions, and she, the main general, still takes good care of her subordinates.

Li Ye looked at Zhang Changan and Gesang, and couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces between King An's Mansion and Shangguan Allure and Wu You when he was young. The county lord was also very naïve when he was young, and he often behaved stupidly in front of him, and occasionally deliberately made a little bit of a small temperament, asking him to coax her.

In the past, Li Ye didn't understand the mind of this kind of little woman, but now it is naturally different, and many things have a different flavor in retrospect.

"What's so difficult about this, I see Gesang's exploits in my eyes, so I'll make an exception for her now and convert her military exploits into cattle and sheep. Li Ye said this, and Shangguan Chengcheng walked towards each other.

Sensing that Li Ye and Shangguan were coming, Zhang Changan hurriedly got up and saluted, "Commander Zhang Changan, I have seen His Highness and the general!"

Li Ye waved his hand, signaling that Zhang Changan did not need to be polite. Because this is the first time I have met each other after the war, and we are acquaintances with each other, I can't help but praise each other's heroic deeds by the way.

Zhang Changan won Li Ye's approval, his face turned red with excitement, and he even said that General Shangguan had a good plan, and his comrades sacrificed their lives to die, and he was nothing.

Finally, he finally came to his senses, pointed to Gesang and said: "This lowly rank can successfully infiltrate the Khitan military camp and perform the task safely, Gesang is a very important part, and please ask His Highness and the general to see it!"

Gesang has also learned a lot of Chinese from Zhang Changan these days, although it sounds awkward, but he can understand a lot.

Seeing that Zhang Changan was very respectful to Li Ye and Shangguan Chengcheng, and called them "His Highness" and "General", although he didn't know who they were - the names Li Ye and Shangguan Chengcheng were already thunderous in the Khitan army, but to ordinary herdsmen, it still seemed very far away - but he also knew that it was a big man who came, and he also stood aside respectfully.

But even at this time, Gesang did not let go of the lamb in his arms.

Li Ye showed a smile that he thought could make people feel like a spring breeze, and said to Gesang warmly: "Gesang, how many sheep and how many cows do you want?"

Gesang heard this very clearly, and there was not a word that she didn't understand, but the full meaning of this sentence made her stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Changan was stunned when he saw Gesang, and he was very worried that the other party would miss such a good opportunity, so he hurriedly reminded: "You just have to say as much as you want, once Your Highness nods, you will have them immediately!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Changan was still afraid that Gesang's imagination was not enough, so he lost no time in picking up and said: "If it's big, don't be afraid!"

Although Gesang is now a little suspicious of Zhang Changan's personality because of the loss of more than a dozen sheep, the other party is still the Tang man he is most familiar with and trusts, since the other party asked her to speak casually, then she is basically sure that a great good thing has really happened.

With the best dream, Gesang's voice trembled, and his big watery eyes looked at Li Ye with hope, "One ...... One

Hundred!"

When she said this, she felt that her heart was about to beat out of her throat, and she was afraid that if she said too much, the other party would not agree.

After all, a hundred sheep is a huge property that only a chief can have.

Li Ye was naturally surprised, and Shangguan Chengcheng was speechless: "A hundred sheep, a hundred cows, a hundred horses, that's all?"

Zhang Changan covered his face, and he no longer had the courage to face Gesang. This was proposed by her own mouth, and he dared to pat his chest and assure that Gesang actually only wanted sheep, and Shangguan Chengcheng had already given away cattle and horses for nothing, and he really couldn't find an excuse.

"Ahh

Li Ye shook her head and smiled, it seems that this stupid shepherdesss girl is still limited by poverty, and she has no idea that the person standing in front of her at this moment can make her the top nobleman on the grassland, overlooking the heroes.

Gesang is a little more important, Li Ye naturally has no reason to treat her badly, turned to Zhang Changan and said: "According to the scale of the tribe of three thousand people, go and select cattle, sheep and horses for her, and then you don't have to participate in the next war, bring people to help her rebuild the tribe and protect her safety and authority." ”

Zhang Changan's eyes lit up, and he immediately clenched his fists to receive his life.

He came out of the Chang'an Cultivation Academy, so he naturally knew that Li Ye's arrangement was not only to take care of Gesang, but related to the dynasty's plan to rule the grassland in the future. Although he no longer participated in the war, Zhang Changan felt that it was a pity, but the importance of using the methods of the Tang Dynasty to build the grassland order was no less important than fighting on the battlefield.

Gesang didn't hear these words clearly, but she understood the number of three thousand, and all she could think of was that Li Ye wanted to give her three thousand sheep, which made her happy and almost fainted.

When she went to pick cattle and sheep, Gesang dragged the corner of Zhang Changan's clothes, raised her little face and kept asking the other party, whether she had 3,000 sheep, whether Li Ye's words really counted, and whether anyone would come to snatch her sheep in the future......

Zhang Changan was annoyed by Gesang's disturbance, but he couldn't raise his mind to be angry with her, so he could only say solemnly: "Gesang, your fate has been changed." From now on, you will no longer be a shepherdess who needs to spend all her energy to feed and clothe yourself.

"Your future life is destined to participate in the general trend of the world and the torrent of history. Believe me, your name will resound throughout the grassland in the future and be praised and worshiped by countless people. As long as you obey the arrangement of Datang, you will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime and become the moon on the grassland.

You may not understand these words for a while, but it doesn't matter, you will understand everything by then. ”

Gesang really can't understand Zhang Changan's words now.

But when she was told that the boundless herd of cattle and sheep in front of her belonged to her, she seemed to see a door to a new world. The world in the gate is full of sunshine, no hunger, no cold, not even bullying, no grief.

Yes, it was a beautiful life that she could never have dreamed of.

Li Ye and Shangguan Chengcheng continued to wander around the camp. For them, it's not much different than a walk. Except for the care and encouragement of the soldiers from time to time in the middle, it is basically idle talk.

After the Great War, there was a rare moment of calm. In the past, when Emperor Li Ye's cultivation was not enough, he lacked skills, but now with this ability, he can get along with the people he cares about, even if it is just to say some meaningless gossip, it is very worthwhile for him.
