Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 532 The Danger Is Coming 2
In the market in Hetao, a large number of Central Plains merchants and grassland herdsmen are trading.In addition to Gongsun Xu who transported supplies to Hetao himself, the shrewd businessmen in the Central Plains were also using the last period of time before the cold winter to make a fortune.

After the Mi family moved to Jizhou, they began to take root in the northern Xinjiang area.Horses, cattle, sheep, leather and other grassland specialties were traded from Hetao, and then transported to Jingzhou, resold in Jiangdong area, and then bought grain from Jiangdong and Jingzhou area and transported to northern Xinjiang. Mi family made a lot of money with this simplest trading method. pen money.

The strong military strength of the Northern Border Army is the main guarantee for the normal trade. Not only the Central Plains merchants, but even the grassland herdsmen who come to participate in the trade now hope that the Northern Border Army will become stronger and stronger. Only in this way can they ensure that they can also Live a happy life.

In the Hetao camp, Zhang Fei led [-] cavalry to inspect the northwest side under the instruction of Gongsun Xu.It is reported that the Huns are a little restless now, and Gongsun Xu does not hope that the remnants of the Huns will affect his trade at this time.

"Yide, don't let them make trouble." Gongsun Xu said to Zhang Fei: "This trade before the cold winter can bring a lot of income to our northern border army. When the spring of next year, all the refugees who migrate to the grassland and northern border They can cultivate food on their own land.

In my northern Xinjiang, there will be millions of people at that time. As long as the weather is good next year, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Hetao will produce a large amount of food.

Good news has already come from Han Sheng. He sent someone to find the several crops I asked him to look for. They will try to transport them before the spring. By then, there will be no starvation in northern Xinjiang. . "

"Are the crops my lord is looking for rare?" Zhang Fei asked puzzledly, "As long as there is enough land, we can grow a large amount of wheat, so why bother looking for other crops?"

"Hahaha, Yide, you don't understand this." Gongsun Xu laughed and said, "There are some things you don't know. If I find sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. later, you will find them." I understand.

Hehe, you will see a strange scene at that time. Different grains will be produced on the same piece of land throughout the year. As long as the people are willing to do it, there will be endless grains every year. "

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I won't ask any more questions." Zhang Fei rubbed the back of his head and smiled, "Anyway, you know more than I do, and it's true that you have listened to you since you were a child. I haven’t heard of it before, hehe, my lord, I’ll ask you for this knowledge when I return from inspection, I, Zhang Fei, am also a scholar, so I can’t be laughed at by others for not knowing much.”

"Hahahaha, Yide has also learned to talk poorly now." Gongsun Xu patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and smiled: "I will order someone to make a booklet on it, and indicate how to cultivate these plants. The cultivation methods and precautions of other common crops have been written on the method of increasing yield.

Then distribute a copy to every household. Do you think this is good? Many people rely on experience to cultivate food, but some good experiences have not been spread. After I made such a booklet, the common problems are It can be easily solved. ",

"Yes, this is really a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? It's really weird." Zhang Fei praised: "Haha, when the time comes, I will publish a booklet on how to raise pigs and how to kill them. I have to write down how I make meat sausage, and when the time comes, people all over the world will think of me when they eat pork, hahahaha.”

"That's it, you've hooked up with the pig." Gongsun Xu teased: "The people in the world will say that there is a general named Zhang Fei in northern Xinjiang, and he has an inexplicable relationship with the pig, hahahaha."

"Um, this, it's okay, I'm famous anyway." Zhang Fei said without hesitation: "Okay, my lord, I will talk about these things slowly when I come back, and I will definitely come up with a good solution by then. Hehe, the remnants of the Huns still want to make trouble now, it is simply asking for trouble.

My lord, why don't we take advantage of this winter and we send troops to take down all the Xiongnu, what's the use of keeping them, they always cause trouble for us. "

"It won't work before this year." Gongsun Xu shook his head and said, "Let's wait until next year. This cold winter will help us weaken the strength of the Huns. When the strength of the Huns is greatly reduced next year, we will send troops again."

"Well, the last general will go to the front station now." After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei said goodbye, and [-] cavalry had assembled outside the camp, waiting for military orders at any time.

The biggest advantage of sending troops on the grassland is that you don't have to think too much about food and grass. Gongsun Xu has a complete logistics system that can support an army of [-] troops to attack at any time. Zhang Fei led the troops to inspect.

The weather on the prairie is gradually getting colder, and the cold wind blowing on people's faces will make people hurt.The cold winter is approaching, if you can nest in the tent and set up a stove to cook some broth or roast some meat, it must be a very pleasant thing.

But for most people, this kind of life is difficult to achieve, especially for those soldiers who are away from home.

In a section of mountains bordering the central and western parts of Xianbei, [-] cavalrymen were hidden in various valleys and mountain forests. This team of Hun cavalrymen had been hiding here for more than four days. They had nothing else to do except eat dried meat and drink cold water every day. food.

"Reporting to Zuo Xianwang, another 32 soldiers got sick." A Qianfu Changhui reported: "We did not carry enough blankets and warm clothes. Many soldiers were too cold to sleep at night, and now they cannot light fires. The sky will only get colder and colder, if this continues, I'm afraid many brothers in the army will die."

"Damn, it's all caused by Gongsun Xu." The Zuo Xian Wang suddenly pulled off his hat, revealing a young face, a rather handsome face full of viciousness, especially those eyes , revealing the slightest chill.

"Isn't there any news from Xianbei?" Zuo Xianwang scolded: "Let me lead the people to wait here, but they were chased and beaten by the Northern Xinjiang army. Now they don't know where they went. We But still have to wait.

Joining forces with such a group of people is a waste of time.Let the brethren bear with it, one day, we will wait another day, if there is no news, we will retreat three hundred miles. "

"Report,,,,,," a scout ran past Lian and said, "King Zuo Xian, someone has come to contact us."

"Is it finally here?" King Zuo Xian sneered, "Is it because Wen Chou's army has been blocked, and the Xianbei ambushes have begun to dispatch, haha, let's attack his logistics troops now, grab his food and grass, and arrest people." Bring it here, I want to ask what's going on."

After a while, a mysterious man wrapped in a cloak was brought over. King Zuoxian sneered when he saw him: "Why, are you Han people always blind? The guy who came to my tribe last time did the same thing. I wrapped myself in the cloak, and now there is another one.

Isn't it just to spread a message, is it necessary to be so mysterious?Just send a cavalry to say no, it's not enough to wear a cloak to be more powerful. "

"Is this how Zuo Xianwang treats his allies?" The man in black replied: "Don't you ask me what good news I brought you, maybe Zuo Xianwang will be happy when he hears about me."

"Hahaha, the Han people are just stupid and self-righteous." King Zuo Xian sneered, "Stop talking nonsense, is it because Wen Chou's army has stretched its front line now? Where is his logistics force? I have [-] elites under my command, and I have been waiting for a long time."

"Now there is a piece of news that is more important than the exact location of Wen Chou's logistics force." The man in black handed over a piece of brocade and said, if Zuo Xianwang can follow the plan, maybe he can revitalize the Xiongnu in a short time. "

King Zuo Xian took the brocade with a face full of disdain. He hated these people for being secretive when they were doing things. In his opinion, these people were a bunch of shady rats who only knew to frame others behind their backs. He never dared to fight the enemy openly, and was afraid that others would recognize his appearance throughout the year.

However, after reading the contents on the brocade silk, Zuo Xianwang's expression obviously changed. After confirming the contents on the brocade silk again and again, he suddenly asked: "Is the news reliable?"

"It's absolutely true." The man in black replied: "If you miss this opportunity, Zuo Xianwang will regret it for life. Wen Chou's army will be surrounded in a short time, and Youzhou or the eastern part of Xianbei may send troops to rescue.

Xianbei's hundreds of thousands of troops will invade Youzhou and Bingzhou's borders at the same time. At that time, you Xiongnu will also send troops to attack Hetao, and there will be people from Xiliang to assist you.

Zuo Xianwang, this opportunity is not only for you, I am afraid that your entire tribe has been waiting for a long time.Whether it can restore the Huns' strength in one fell swoop depends on this time. "

"You are a Han." Zuo Xianwang said: "Your master is also a Han. I remember that since ancient times, the Han and the Hu are incompatible. Now, why do you help us?"

"King Zuo Xian was joking." The man in black sneered, "We are a cooperative relationship, so we can't talk about helping each other, but don't forget what you promised us.

When the Xiongnu army and the Xianbei army arrive at the northern border, you will send [-] horses, and after that, you will each send another [-] horses. "

"Don't worry, I, the Huns, will do what I want to say." King Zuoxian put away the brocade and said, "As long as we get back the Hetao and restore our strength to the Huns, a hundred thousand horses are nothing."

The man in black didn't say anything more.After getting confirmation from the other party, he left.He has already done the things here, and then he has to go to other places to do things.

After the man in black left, Zuo Xianwang took out the brocade silk and took a last glance and said with a sneer: "Gongsun Xu, you also have a dead end, this time I will see how you choose, if you are an enemy of my Huns, you have to bear my Huns The anger of the army, this time, I will definitely kill you without a place to bury you."

After finishing speaking, King Zuoxian ordered the soldiers in the mountain to go out to gather. At the same time, he also sent a large number of scouts to inquire outside.
