After several days of trekking, Ailang finally arrived outside Jiameng Pass and met with Ma Chao and Xu Shu.

In the big tent, everyone paid homage to Ailang. Ailang smiled and said, "No need to be polite!" Everyone stood up. Ailang glanced at everyone, and his eyes met Ma Yunlu's eyes inadvertently, and naturally smiled at her. But he didn't know where he offended Ma Yunlu, which actually attracted her anger. Ailang was stunned for a moment, only to feel inexplicable, and could not figure out when he had offended this aunt again.

At this time, Xu Shu clasped his fists to Ailang and said, "Lord, Jiameng Pass is dangerously abnormal. It can be said that one man should be the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. The subordinates suggest that he wait until the heavy equipment is transported before launching an attack." Ailang retracted his gaze from Ma Yunlu. Thinking of the terrain of Jiameng Pass that he saw not long ago, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay. Before Yan Liang arrives, everyone will accumulate energy and rest." Everyone agreed.

His vision was temporarily returned to Luoyang. After Ailang led his army to leave, Chen Gong first adjusted his defense measures. Given that Luoyang's troops have been replenished a lot, Chen Gong sent 10,000 troops to go out to Wushenjin to set up a camp to protect Luoyang.

With the end of the Luoyang War, Luoyang's production and life quickly returned to normal, and inside and outside Luoyang became bustling again. Moreover, after this war, the people inside and outside Luoyang seemed to have stronger confidence in the Qin King. Shortly after the Luoyang War, the speed of funds and personnel moving into Luoyang showed a significant acceleration. Luoyang Zhuque Street was a noisy and lively scene, crowded with people, and treasures from all over the world gathered here, which was dazzling.

Chen Gong was dressed in casual clothes and inspected Zhuque Street with Qiao Sen and others. Seeing the scene in front of him, he felt very relieved. Chen Gong said happily: "After this battle, Luoyang has become more prosperous!" Qiao Sen smiled and said, "Now the King of Qin has the momentum to rule the world, and the people naturally feel it. Luoyang has always been a formidable road and a place where humanities and wealth gather. Anyone with a little vision will not miss this great opportunity now." Chen Gong nodded with a smile.

Qiao Sen suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I have a suggestion." Chen Gong smiled and said, "Tell me. Your suggestions must be good." Qiao Sen said, "Sir, I think you can choose a suitable time to hold a world-class goods trading conference in Luoyang? This will inevitably make Luoyang more prosperous!" Chen Gong thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is a good method." Then he said, "Just this, the flow of people will inevitably increase sharply, and the passes and city gate checkpoints will not be able to deal with it..." Qiao Sen smiled, "Sir, if you can't deal with it, you can simply remove the traditional checkpoint inspection and tax collection system." Chen Gong looked a little surprised.

Qiao Sen continued: "Sir, I feel that the King of Qin's attitude towards internal affairs is to improve the level of trade and economic levels in various places as much as possible to improve the quality of life of the people and our own strength. After investigation, although many of our practices far exceed other places, our trade activities and levels are far more prosperous and active than other places, some aspects still restrict the efficiency and scale of economic and trade exchanges. Among them, checkpoint inspection and tax collection methods are one of the important aspects. This practice is a good thing to set up countless embankments in the river water for nothing, and it is difficult to reach a large scale. Therefore, the cancellation of this checkpoint and tax system can definitely greatly promote trade activities."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Your idea is really bold!" He paused and nodded, "Your proposal makes sense. But, in this way, wouldn't people with ulterior motives easily get into important cities?" Qiao Sen smiled and said, "Sir, can you stop those people with ulterior motives with ulterior motives? It's like choking and giving up food. Why bother to miss a big deal for a few clowns!" Chen Gong laughed and nodded, "What you said makes sense." He paused and said, "You go and make plans first, and then take them to me for your examination." "Yes."

Later that day, Qiao Sen said goodbye to Chen Gong and returned to his mansion. The old butler quickly came up and whispered: "Master, someone is coming from the north. I am waiting for Master in the back hall." Qiao Sen immediately walked towards the backyard.

When he arrived in the back hall, he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant. He immediately smiled and clasped his fists and said, "You are so embarrassed when you are here!" When the middle-aged man saw Qiao Sen, he quickly stood up and said, "Sir, don't be polite." Qiao Sen asked him to sit, but he walked to the opposite side and sat down, clasped his fists at the other party and asked, "Is the Prime Minister okay?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Sir, I'm very interested. The prime minister is very good. At present, the main army has retreated to Chaoge to rest and prepare for the war." Then he said, "The Prime Minister sent me here to ask about the situation of the teacher. I heard that the rebel army organized by the teacher secretly suffered heavy losses. Is this true?"

Qiao Sen couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of the tragic scene that day. He sighed and sighed, "It's not just the heavy losses, it's all annihilated!" The middle-aged man was shocked and asked, "So tragic?" Qiao Sen nodded and said, "The rebel army that I have tried my best to pull up for so long can be said to have disappeared! I had underestimated Chen Gong before, but I didn't expect this person to be so powerful!..." Then he thanked his sword: "If I hadn't dealt with it in time, I would have been finished myself!" The middle-aged man frowned and did not speak for a while.

Qiao Sen saw the middle-aged man's expression and naturally knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "But I have a plan to help the Prime Minister get rid of the culprit Lu Bu!" The middle-aged man was surprised and asked quickly, "What are the tricks do you have?"

Qiao Sen said: "I have suggested that Chen Gong hold a world-wide goods trading event in Luoyang, and also suggested that Chen Gong cancel all checkpoints in Luoyang and its surrounding areas in order to further develop trade and ensure the smooth holding of the trade event. Chen Gong has agreed." The middle-aged man was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Is this true?" Qiao Sen nodded and said: "It's true. This matter was agreed just now. Chen Gong asked me to make a detailed plan, and there will be no variables in this matter." The middle-aged man said: "In this way, I can take the opportunity to send dead soldiers to sneak into Luoyang to wait for an opportunity. At that time, the huge crowd in Luoyang is chaotic, which is a great time to act." Then he said with some concern: "Only one thing, will Lu Bu be in Luoyang by then?"

Qiao Sen said confidently: "There is no need to worry about this at all. Lu Bu attaches great importance to commerce, and Luoyang is the capital of the world's famous cities and Han dynasties. Lu Bu will not miss such a grand event. I will also make suggestions, and Lu Bu must be asked to attend the grand event at that time." The middle-aged man nodded and said: "This can be said to be the right time, place and people!" Then he said to Qiao Sen: "I want to repay the Prime Minister immediately, and ask the Prime Minister to immediately select the dead soldiers to sneak into Luoyang and wait for an opportunity to act." Qiao Sen said:

"Please tell the Prime Minister that you must choose a person who can be a hundred people, and there should not be too many people." The middle-aged man nodded and stood up. Seeing this, Qiao Sen also stood up. The middle-aged man clasped his fists at Qiao Sen and said, "Goodbye." Qiao Sen said, "It's not that I'll attract attention, so I won't send him to the sir." Then he said to the old housekeeper beside him, "Send him out for me. If anyone asks, he will say that he is a merchant who comes to the mansion to sell goods." The old housekeeper shouted and led the middle-aged man away.

Qiao Sen was sent to the door of the back hall, looking at the middle-aged man's back as he walked away, and showed a confident expression.

Ailang was walking near the tent, thinking about the current situation, his brows frowned slightly. At this time, Xu Shu came over and bowed; "Lord!" Ailang saw Xu Shu and smiled and said, "You are here just now. I was about to discuss with you the strategy of attacking Jiameng Pass." Xu Shu smiled and said, "I am also talking about this matter." Then he took out a roll of bamboo slips from the sleeve and handed them to Ailang, saying, "This is an urgent report just sent from Chang'an."

Ai Lang was surprised and said, "Did Liu Bei counterattack Chang'an?" As he said that, he reached out to take the bamboo slips, opened them and looked at them, and suddenly said, "It turned out that Liu Bei sent his army to assist Jiameng Pass!" Xu Shu said, "When Liu Bei saw that our army turned to attack Jiameng Pass and realized that the problem was serious, he sent a large army to assist Xichuan and Jiameng Pass. It is estimated that their reinforcements will arrive at Jiameng Pass in five days."

Ailang sat down on a large bluestone, rolled up the bamboo slips, and said, "It's no big deal to have more enemies. But the terrain of Jiameng Pass is dangerous and extremely strong. I am only worried that neither the packing of scatters nor the on-board cannons will shake this level. I'm thinking..."

At this moment, a huge cheer suddenly came from the teaching ground in the distance. Ai Lang couldn't help but turn his head and look, but the figure couldn't see clearly, as if someone was competing with martial arts skills. Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's General Ma Yunlu, who is competing with men in the army. I heard that even the two generals Ma Tiema Dai were beaten down by her." Ai Lang smiled and said, "This is really a tigress!" Xu Shu smiled and said, "General Ma Yunlu is as good as a man, and there are probably not many men in the world who can beat her!" Ai Lang smiled and suddenly wanted to see the tigress's appearance, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, look." As he said that, he walked towards the school ground there first. Xu Shu smiled and followed immediately.

When he arrived at the school ground, Ailang suddenly saw Ma Yunlu waving his spear and suddenly swung the spear in Ma Xiu's hand. Then he rubbed his body and pounced on him, jumping up like a phoenix and kicking Ma Xiu's chest! Ma Xiu screamed, and he flew backwards and fell heavily on the floor. He couldn't get up for a moment!
