Yanmen Pass was in name only. Yanmen Pass, which was destroyed by the people of Xiliang, was in ruins. At present, it was only a delusion. The Northwest Army only made minor changes and cleaned up the accumulated stone rubble. A crossroads were pulled between the two sides, and barracks were built inside the pass, even if they were checkpoints.

Twenty miles outside Yanmen Pass, the trade farm has been basically completed, and many people have come here, at least they don’t have to worry about having no place to eat here.

At this time, a temporary circumference had been built on the open space outside the trade site. This was built by the people of Xiliang. The great ritual officer of Xiliang Gusa Heiyun brought thousands of Xiliang war horses to trade with Chu Huan. Naturally, there were many people accompanying him, reaching three or four hundred people. Now they are all in the trade site, which is very lively here.

It was of course a difficult journey from Xiliang to cross the Jingu Landa Desert and arrive at the trade site outside Yanmen Pass. After the Xiliang people who followed him arrived, they were temporarily relieved and took a break in the trade site.

Gusa Heiyun did not directly bring his war horses to Shuoquan. He didn't care whether he could enter the pass, and he had no intention of entering the pass.

He had more than 3,000 war horses in his hand, and even in Xiliang, it was not a small number. He knew very well that because of these thousands of war horses, there were differences within Xiliang.

The Western Liang is now divided into three parts. Mahazang, Mahara and Gusa concubines were divided respectively. Mahazang controlled the central area of ​​the Western Liang, while Gusa concubines controlled the northern and northeastern areas of the Western Liang, and Mahara was dominated by the Jura tribe and controlled the southwest. Gusa concubines and Mahara formed allies and formed a double-sided attack on Mahazang.

Mahazang does not have an absolute advantage now, and the Concubine Gusa is really a difficult opponent. The people of Xiliang fought against each other, and it was difficult to distinguish them.

In the central area controlled by Mahazang, the extremely terrifying salt waste appeared because the salt path was cut off. The Qingtan and Nashi tribes that originally supported Mahazang had already complained that even the Mahazang's direct control of Mahazang were also panicked because of the people in the Salt Wasteland.

Everyone knows that if the salt wasteland is not resolved, this battle will be difficult to continue. The conditions brought back by Gusa Black Cloud caused fierce debate in the Palace of the Sun. In Mahazang's view, exchanging war horses for salt was a forced method. Chu Huan proposed to exchange a horse for forty kilograms of salt, which made Mahazang and some officials in Xiliang furious.

One group of people proposed that they would rather have a talk with Mahara and Gusa than use war horses to exchange salt with the Central Plains. The other group of people claimed that if there was no salt, they would collapse if they did not have to use Gusa to call him. Even if there was no harsh conditions, they could only make an exception to trade under helpless circumstances.

In the end, the latter's opinion had an absolute advantage. After several debates, four thousand war horses were finally taken out to exchange for salt. Four thousand war horses were enough to exchange for a lot of salt. After these salts arrived, they could continue to support the subsequent war.

Only then did Gusa Heiyun shoulder the heavy responsibility and brought the war horse to the trade field.

Of course, he would not enter the pass easily. The people of Xiliang and the people of Zhongyuan were originally hating each other and distrust each other. Even Chu Huan and Gusa Heiyun were careful to beware of it.

Who knows if these thousands of war horses can still make real transactions after entering the pass? Chu Huan takes over the horses, but does not supply salt. Gusa Heiyun can't cry even if she wants to.

So after he arrived at the trade yard with his team, he stopped here and never made any progress. He sent two eloquent subordinates to Shuoquan to meet Chu Huan, and wanted to bring salt to the trade yard to trade.

After sending out the contact person, Gusa Heiyun waited day and night, and was eager to see him. He only hoped that Chu Huan's team would come sooner, waiting for the salt to be put into the pot on Xiliang. After the transaction, he had to travel through the Jingu Landa Desert and return to Xiliang. He delayed for a while. One day of trading, he could return to Xiliang one day earlier to solve the difficulties encountered by Xiliang.

Waiting around, Gusa Heiyun looked through Qiushui, but did not see the team sent by Chu Huan. Instead, he saw the soldiers of the Northwest Army wandering around the circle from time to time. Looking at the soldiers staring at the Xiliang war horses, Gusa Heiyun felt uneasy. He knew that in Yanmen Pass, there were tens of thousands of Northwest Army guarding the Northwest Army and the West Liang army were deeply hatred. This war horse would not have any trouble.

Just when Gusa Heiyun was about to wait for his eyes to be blind, he finally saw a long convoy coming towards the trade field. With the "Chu" flag, Gusa Heiyun breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly met him.

The trading team sent by Chu Huan was led by Du Fugong himself. Both sides asked about their well-being in a friendly atmosphere. Then Gusa Heiyun took Du Fugong to the circle and counted the number of horses. In addition to returning the necessary horses, the total number of horses that can be traded was 3,472. Gusa Heiyun knew that one more horse would be 40 kilograms of salt, so each horse was counted in the account.

The amount of salt brought was also huge. According to the number of 3,500 war horses, Xiliang was still short of 28 horses to be enough. However, under the sincere request of Gusa Heiyun, the two sides had to continue trading in accordance with the mutual benefit of both sides, so the remaining salt was given to Xiliang as a bonus.

The transaction went very smoothly, and Gusa Heiyun returned anxiously. After a day of trading, Gusa Heiyun was afraid of staying here and causing trouble, so he led the team to say goodbye. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked Du Fu Gong to ask Chu Huan on his behalf, and said that if there was insufficient salt there, he would bring the horse team to the next time he came to trade and would send someone to the pass to notify him.

Farewell to Gusa Heiyun, Du Fu Gong asked him to make up the horse team. After leaving the customs, Du Fu Gong also brought four or five hundred people out, and many of them were experts who once tamed horses, with three thousand horses, and they were managed in an orderly manner. After resting in the trade field for a day, he rushed the horse team to the gate.

When the horse team arrived at Yanmen Pass, Du Fugong saw that the Northwest Army soldiers guarding the pass were several times more than when they came out, and knew that what was coming was still coming.

The guard was Ding Quan, the deputy general of Tian'an Fortress near Yanmen Pass, brought people out and looked at the thousands of fat and long-legged Xiliang war horses, with their eyes wide open.

"This is a horse from Xiguan. Now I want to return to Xiguan. Please give me some convenience and let us enter the pass." Du Fugong rode on the horse and bowed to Ding Quan with a smile.

Ding Quan restrained his expression and said lightly: "Are these Xiliang horses?"

"good!"

"Do you know that Xiliang is an enemy country, and it is not in accordance with the rules to trade horses with them?"

Du Fugong smiled and said, "Did General Gan not tell you about this? General Gan and Governor Chu have discussed that trading with Xiliang will be beneficial to our Qin Dynasty, otherwise the trade site would not be built outside the pass. The Northwest Army sent troops to protect the market, so of course they would not be unaware of the role of the market."

"The rest are easy to say, but the horses are not good." Ding Quan obviously knew that if he made sense, he would definitely not be Du Fugong's opponent. "Let's do this, leave the war horses to our Northwest Army for safekeeping. You can go back for now. When we report to the general and get the general's order, we will give the war horses to you."

Du Fugong shook his head and said with a smile: "Governor Chu has issued an order that many of the war horses here need to be brought back to Shuoquan. If one missing one, I will use my head to top my head."

Ding Quan sneered: "I can't control whether a person's head is head or not. I'm responsible for this Yanmen Pass. I said I can't bring the war horses in, but I can't...!"

"Soldiers love horses, I understand this principle." Du Fugong still smiled faintly and said, "But you can't detain any of these horses. If you dare to detain a horse, I'm afraid that General Gan's first head would be yours. I wonder if you believe it or not?"

Ding Quan sneered: "You think you are scared. Your duty is to come. If you pass the order, you can't even enter the pass. All of these war horses will be detained..."

Du Fugong didn't say much, and ordered all his followers to rest on the spot. Then he said to Ding Quan: "You can go find General Gan now and ask General Gan what he meant. If these horses are, we will stay here and wait for you."

Ding Quan frowned, hesitated for a moment, but did not continue to entangle, turned his horse's head and slapped the horse into the pass.

When he entered the pass, he returned to the Tiananbao tent, but Gan Hou had already been waiting here. When he saw Ding Quan coming over, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"General, judging by their meaning, they don't want to hand over the horses at all." Ding Quan bowed and said, "Do we forcefully take them down?"

Gan Hou said lightly: "Take it down?"

"General, we have not discussed it before. We now lack horses. These Western Liang war horses are treasures that are hard to find. With these war horses, our strength will be greatly improved." Ding Quan said: "If we really want to deduct them, we can do nothing to measure them."

Gan Hou smiled coldly, pondered slightly, and finally said, "Let the switch go, let them enter the pass."

Ding Quan was stunned and then said anxiously: "General, during the military meeting, everyone said they would detain these horses. Let's... let's let them enter the pass?"

"I know the thoughts of the brothers." Gan Hou stood up, "but these horses cannot be kept."

"Why can't you keep it?"

"Because Yu Jiao is in Chu Huan's hands." Gan Hou had a cold face, "Yu Jiao is in Hezhou City now, right in Chu Huan's hands. We held his horse. Do you think Chu Huan will let Yu Jiao go?"

Ding Quan was stunned, then clenched his fists and sneered: "General, even if he locked his horse, how dare Chu Huan treat Yu Jiao? Being an enemy of our Northwest Army, unless Chu Huan doesn't want to live."

"You mean, use my sister's safety to gamble on Chu Huan's courage?" Gan Hou sneered: "Three thousand war horses may be priceless in your eyes, but in my eyes, even 30,000 war horses, which is not as good as Yu Jiao's finger." He carried his hands on his back, walked out of the big tent, looked up at the dim sky, "Open and switch, let go!"
