Chapter 10 A Conspiracy Nowhere
(I accidentally sprained my shoulder muscles. The left shoulder hurts a lot, and my left hand is in a state of "no power to tie a chicken".)
In Yangguan, there were tens of thousands of livestock, including camels, horses, cattle and sheep. There were countless goods brought back together?
As soon as the news came out, even though it was dark and it was windy and snowing, the people in the city went out to watch the fun.
Those caravans staying in Guanzhong will not be missed.
They went to the city gate but were no longer accessible. They did not see tens of thousands of livestock because the city was too small and had no place to accommodate them.
They only saw the livestock passing through the city, stretching endlessly. The cries and hooves of livestock could be heard clearly.
The garrison braved the wind and snow, restraining the livestock from passing through the city, and all rushed to the east of the city to find a place to be kept temporarily.
Whether it was a caravan or a city people, they watched the herd of livestock passing by in front of them under the sergeant expulsion. The first thing they passed by was the flock of sheep.
The sound of the flock of sheep bleated endlessly. Sometimes there might be a few donkey calls like "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
However, listening to these voices, both the caravans and the people in the city were very happy.
They don't care about the source of these livestock.
The weather is bad, so it is difficult for these livestock to continue on the road.
I'm afraid there are some selling here at a low price.
A large number of livestock cannot be bought by the army. They can also eat cheap meat.
Finally, all the sheep passed, and one person and one donkey came out, followed by a camel.
The donkey shouted while walking, and the camel held the goods and followed behind him with his head held high in the heavy snow.
"This camel spirit. Look at the camel, it's big and tall." What accumulates fat on the camel, so it's plump, which means that the camel is fat.
Camels are thick and can be sustained in this winter.
A caravan leader saw a man leading a camel caravan into the city.
Seeing that he was wearing Central Plains clothing, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are these livestocks willing to be sold? Is your caravan leader still behind?"
Yang Hao turned his head and said, "Your Excellency, you know that these livestock are all taken by Yang from several tribes in the Western Regions and brought them back for sale. As long as the price is reasonable, they will naturally be sold.
"There are nearly three thousand horses, ten thousand cattle, ten thousand camels, and five hundred sheep.
"General Cui gave Yang a document, except for the war horses that cannot be traded at will, everything else is controlled by Yang.
"If you want to buy it, come and find Mr. Yang.
"For half a month, regardless of whether the livestock can be sold out, Yang will send the money to those tribes.
"Time is limited, so please buy it as soon as possible."
Almost every livestock brought back this time was carrying things on its back.
There are at least two hundred kilograms on the back of the camel, and there are about hundreds of kilograms on the back of the cattle and horse, and even each sheep carries about ten kilograms of goods.
This huge livestock entry ceremony was well known to everyone.
In front of everyone, Yang Hao brought the livestock back alone and said in public that the horse was bought by the garrison, and other livestock and goods belonged to him.
That's right, General Cui heard that Yang Hao had indeed brought the livestock back, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
But he didn't expect the momentum to be so huge.
The vast herds of livestock were all rushed into the gates in the middle of the night.
As a result, General Cui had to suppress any thoughts in his mind.
He had to regard Yang Hao as a guest.
"Yang Langjun is indeed extraordinary." General Cui said in a compliment. "I still think that if I can bring back one or two hundred horses, I should remember Yang Langjun's great achievements.
"I didn't want to bring back nearly 3,000 horses, and there were so many cattle, sheep, and camels. Not only can we solve the urgent needs of the Yangguan defenders, but we can also breathe a sigh of relief even in the three prefectures of Hexi."
Yang Hao heard something was wrong and said with a smile: "After Yang left Yang Pass, he traveled day and night. It took only five days to find that tribe.
"When the tribe heard that he wanted to buy livestock, he found a familiar tribe and gathered them together. It was precisely because of this that Yang went there for so long before he returned.
"Those tribes were unwilling to bring them back on credit. But Yang was slandering and agreed to bring the money to them within a month. Only those tribes trusted Yang."
When General Cui heard this, his smile slightly stopped, but immediately said with a smile: "This time, Yang Langjun brought back so many war horses is a great achievement. Let me report to General Niu, the Governor's Office, to see how the Governor's Office dealt with."
Yang Hao smiled and said, "Those horses were brought back by the general. And those tribes also thanked the general for their willingness to accept their good intentions to return to the Tang Dynasty.
"Although people cannot do things because of uneven hearts, they are also grateful. So I asked someone to give the general three hundred war horses."
He also said: "Yangguan is small and there are not many caravans. I also asked General Xu Yang to drive the livestock to Shazhou City as soon as possible. It is better to sell the livestock as soon as possible.
"Most of those nomadic tribes are upright. They believed me and allowed me to take away the livestock first and then send the money back in a month. If the deadline is overdue, Yang is only worried that they will mistakenly think that the court sent me to cheat them, so they will lead troops to ask in anger."
General Cui looked at him with great gaze: "You are serious?"
"How can you say something wrong? How can you tell me a lot about this? Three hundred horses are handed over to the general, so how to deal with the general is the right way to decide."
General Cui pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "A ordinary military horse costs thirty stakes, and thirty hundred stakes are more than 9,000 stakes. How can I let Yang Langjun spend money?"
Yang Hao blinked.
Don’t they say it was given to those tribes? Why do you still say it was his spending money?
Oh, I understand.
Yang Hao smiled and said, "General Cui is honest and upright. It's really wrong for Yang." Damn, he said so gloriously and honestly to bribe him. Isn't it difficult for him to make things difficult for him?" Then, at the ordinary price of military horses, the money earned from selling three hundred horses...
"Well, Yang admired the soldiers of Yangguan defenders who sacrificed their lives and bleeding to protect the border people. So he used these money to work hard on the army. By the way, the sheep brought back by Yang also distributed a thousand extra meals to the soldiers. Please don't refuse."
"Yang Langjun's heart is thanked for the five thousand soldiers."
General Cui was satisfied with Yang Hao's meeting. He no longer said anything to wait for the words "General Niu's order" and directly agreed to let him go.
He did get in mind before.
But at the beginning, I just thought that even if Yang Hao could bring back the war horses, the worst was that there would be only a few hundred horses, and there wouldn't be many cattle and sheep.
By that time, he certainly would not dare to ignorant of the war horses, but cattle and sheep could do it.
But now all the women and children in Yangguan know that Yang Hao has brought back so many livestock, but he wants to do it but has no idea to start for the moment.
Yang Hao's willingness to give more benefits than he wanted to take the initiative to give himself.
Yangguan is only fifty miles away from Shazhou City. Any movement in Yangguan cannot be hidden from Shazhou Governor's Office.
He didn't dare to look too ugly either.
Even though he was still a little greedy, he could only suppress it wisely.
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent the things out: "This military matter... Yang Chu returned to China, and to avoid suspicion, he had to bother the general to work hard."
General Cui nodded and said, "This is my duty."
So the defenders selected three hundred horses and a thousand sheep.
Yang Hao reconciled 9,000 guan, but he didn't get a penny.
As for whom the nine thousand guan fell into, he didn't know.
But he had to give this money. Anyway, he just treated it as buying peace.
Although, he threatened General Cui with words: If the money is not given, those tribes may come to attack the city.
If it is reported that General Cui has obscured his livestock and led to foreign enemies invading the border. General Cui will be exiled for three thousand miles if he does not die.
This may make General Cui a little afraid, but it cannot guarantee that he will not stumbling.
So Yang Hao also has to give the other party some benefits, otherwise the other party will not be able to suppress his evil intentions.
If he really gave nothing, he "bringed back" so many things, and I don't know how many people were jealous. General Cui didn't have to do it himself, and asked someone to kill him and then kill someone to silence him.
Those livestock naturally become homeless things.
Maybe General Cui can't get much, but at least he can share it.
However, General Cui is actually just a small official. There are many people above him.
The longer Yang Hao stayed in Yangguan with his livestock, the more dangerous it would be. If someone really killed him and left those livestock, he would not survive in the future.
At this time, General Cui, considering that Yang Hao is still good at being a good person, published a "letter of introduction" and allowed him to settle down in Dunhuang.
This is very important to Yang Hao's safety.
