Chapter 240 Return to Gaoping City

"Dong, dong, dong..." Under the bright sun, the war drums in Chang'an City were beating and flags were flying.

Teams of black-armored knights, holding spears, pointed their fingers diagonally in front of them, and rushed out of the general's mansion at a uniform speed, heading towards the west gate of Chang'an City.

The God of War Carriage, which was dark and light and exuded an ancient desolate atmosphere, slowly drove out of the General's Mansion. The command center of the God of War Carriage was raised high, and the flag of thousands of blood had also been unfolded, and a faint bloody aura filled the sky.

General Huangfu Jian of the West was wearing military uniform, and his Qilin armor wrapped his whole body tightly, and the light golden mask looked even more weird and ferocious. He held the heavy sword of the world-destroying world, standing on the roof of the God of War's chariot like a demon, looking into the distance with his energetic eyes.

"Long live the army in the west! Long live General Huangfu!"

The shouts of roar like pine waves sounded, and the people in the city looked up at their gods and roared deep in their hearts.

Wherever the God of War Chariot passed, the people watching on both sides of the avenues were all spontaneously knelt on the ground and respectfully sent their generals. For them and for the sake of this world, General Huangfu led his army to an expedition!

At the west gate of Chang'an City, Zhang Fei's five thousand leopard cavalry were ready to go. The black horse, black armor and black spear made the five thousand iron cavalry look majestic and murderous.

Five thousand personal guards kept pouring out of the city, five hundred steps away from Zhang Fei's leopard cavalry, lined up in two columns, leaving a spacious passage in the middle.

Not long after, Huangfu Jian's God of War Chariot left the west gate, slowly drove past the passage, and headed towards the open area between the two iron cavalry. After the God of War Chariot, dozens of exquisite carriages were followed, and there were senior officials of the West Army who came to see him off and some civil and military generals who went on the expedition this time.

Ten thousand iron cavalry looked at the general like gods and demons on the God of War Carriage.

Outside Chang'an City, ten thousand elite cavalry all looked solemn and silent. Even the unyielding war horses under their feet seemed to be shocked by the huge aura of the lion and tiger beast beside the God of War Cart, and they did not dare to let out a breath.

"Da, da, da..." Zhang Fei slapped the black horse, came to the God of War Carriage like a flying, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly: "Pioneer General Zhang Fei, see the lord!"

"General Zhang is exempted from the gift, are you ready?" The light golden mask covered Huangfu Jian's face, but it could not cover his bright eyes. Huangfu Jian looked at Zhang Fei kneeling in front of him and said lonely.

"Report to the lord, I will prepare all my troops, just wait for the lord to give me an order." At this moment, Zhang Fei felt that the lord who was usually gambling with him and was amiable lord. But a decisive general who killed and often bleeded thousands of miles. Zhang Fei was shocked, restrained the unruly in his bones and answered respectfully.

"Okay! I'll order you, Liu will lead your troops to set off!" Huangfu Jian stopped shouting.

"No!" Zhang Fei agreed, Fei was on the war horse, waved the snake spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Set out!"

Five thousand leopards' hooves sounded like thunder and were as powerful as rainbows. Under Zhang Fei's leadership, they rolled westward.

Outside the God of War Car, the left and right military advisors Jia Xu, Yan Zhong, Zhang Zhao of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhong Yao of the Ministry of Personnel, Ma Jun of the Ministry of Works, etc. bowed to see him off.

"For the two military advisors, the military affairs will be handed over to you." Huangfu Jian looked at Jia Xu, Yan Zhong and the others and said lightly.

"Don't worry, lord, the Zhenxi Army will not disappoint any opponent." The two advisers bowed and replied.

"Zi Bu, Yuan Chang, you are responsible for government affairs." Huangfu Jian looked at Zhang Zhao and Zhong Yao again, two interior ministers.

"Don't worry, lord, my subordinates will do their best to live up to the lord's entrusted!" the two of them also bowed and replied.

"Ma Jun, I will leave you with full responsibility for the reconstruction of Chang'an City. If you have any questions, please contact the four adults to discuss. I hope that when our army returns, we will see a Chang'an City that will amaze the world!"

Huangfu Jian finally looked at the young Ma Jun and said loudly.

"I will definitely build Chang'an City into the world's largest city, and the General's Mansion will definitely be better than the palace of the Han Dynasty. As a gift for the lord's wedding." Ma Jun raised his head and said with confidence.

Ma Jun has this confidence, with wealth and Gucheng in the Pegasus Ranch.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Huangfu Jian smiled at the sky, raised the World-Destroying Sword in his hand, shouting loudly: "Go!"

"I wish you to send me off to you, I hope you will return triumphantly as soon as possible!" Everyone knelt down and shouted loudly.

The command center of the God of War Cars slowly descended, and the Ten Thousand Blood Flag gradually became disturbed, and finally disappeared into the God of War Cars. The God of War Cars returned to its ancient and simple appearance. Except for being extraordinarily huge, there was no difference in appearance.

"Boom..." The five thousand personal guards cavalry drove westward and slowly disappeared into the distance, leaving only smoke and dust in the sky.

Ten thousand iron cavalry of Zhenxi Army advanced quickly along the Huizhong Road leading to Gaoping City from Chang'an. The next day, when it was dark, it arrived at Gaoping City, the Anding County Captain, and the Longxing Land of Huangfu Jian.

"Welcome to the lord!"

In the dusk, outside the south gate of Gaoping City, Liangzhou Governor Fa Yan brought a group of civil and military officials from Gaoping City to meet him from afar. A day ago, he received a letter from Fei Ge from the Military Affairs Office and knew that the lord was going to pass by Gaoping City.

"No gift!" Huangfu Jian calmly got off the God of War Cart in gorgeous clothes and greeted Fayan and others.

"The command of Zhang Fei, Zhang Yan, the leopard cavalry, and the personal guard camp will be stationed outside Gaoping City tonight, to replenish the required food and supplies, and set off early tomorrow morning." Huangfu Jian ordered the commander soldiers beside him.

"No!" The messenger received the order and left with a horse.

In order not to disturb the people in the city, Huangfu Jian only brought Jieyou, Diao Chan, Zhang Ning, the Eighteen Dragon Cavalry, Huang Xu, Guo Jia and a group of close servants entered Gaoping City.

"It's so fast! It's been more than two years in a flash." Huangfu Jian looked at the familiar Gaoping City, felt a little moved and sighed. This was his first territory to walk out of the Pegasus Ranch. He had a deep relationship and devoted a lot of his efforts.

"Yes! The lord is now a big family and a big business, and he is busy. The people in the city are all concerned about his lord." Fa Yan was also very moved, and naturally recalled the situation when he resisted the Xianbei Iron Cavalry with Huangfu Jian.

"How is Gaoping City developing now?"

Huangfu Jian looked at the tall buildings on both sides of the street and the twinkling lights, asking Fayan.

"In recent years, the lord has turned the construction center to the Guanzhong area, and many large workshops have also been moved to Chang'an and other places. Although Gaoping City has been affected to a certain extent, the situation in Liangzhou is now stable and the people live and work in peace. No longer like before, the Qianghu riots continued, and the Xianbei people invaded the south from time to time, so the development is still stable." Fayan replied.

"The people of Liangzhou will not go hungry anymore, right?" Huangfu Jian thought for a while and asked again.

"Hehe..., the people of Liangzhou are not the people of Liangzhou in the past. They not only live a life of food and clothing, but also have some money. They are all the credits of the lord!" Fa Yan said excitedly with a smile on his elegant face.

"That's good, I will feel relieved." Huangfu Jian was also in a great mood when he heard this. Liangzhou, a big burden in the eyes of the world, is not only the stability of the people, but also the biggest source of elite soldiers.

In Huangfu Jian's view, the situation in which the people in Liangzhou were living in poverty in the past was not because the land in Liangzhou was barren and could not produce food. It was not because the grass in Liangzhou was not fat and could not raise livestock. It was because the war and years of wars led to a large amount of land being deserted and the people were living in poverty.

Under the war, the people were not full and they were not warm in clothing. Some people began to steal and rob, becoming horse thieves and bandits. These people did not work in production, but relied on robbing the fruits of others' hard work. As a result, those who did not work in production were full, but those who were engaged in production starved to death. Under the vicious cycle, more and more people embarked on this path of gaining nothing, fewer and fewer people were engaged in production, and more and more barren land were.

First a small number of people, then a large number of people. Later, all the young and strong people in Liangzhou started to do this. At this time, the local people in Liangzhou were out of reach, so under the leadership of their respective leaders, they began to force the Han border town. After the Han border town, they went to grab the Han mainland.

All kinds of small forces are everywhere, and as long as one person shouts, tens of thousands of people will respond!

Of course, the Han Dynasty was not willing to be robbed, so it sent troops to suppress it. The battle between Han and Qiang was getting bigger and bigger, and wars became more and more frequent. During the battle, blood was often drifting with corpses everywhere, but the problem was not solved at all.

The continuous wars not only did not solve the survival problems of the Qiang people, but instead made the Qiang people become poorer and poorer, and they were even more unable to live. They also dragged the Han Dynasty into a huge war quagmire.

The land of Xiliang became a huge burden that the Han Dynasty could never abandon.

War cannot solve the problem. As long as the Qiang people’s food and clothing problems are not fundamentally solved in one day, the Qiang people who live without a living have to rob them. This is their only way of survival.

Huangfu Jian showed his might in Gaoping City. In one battle, he killed 60,000 Qianghu without leaving a single living mouth. He shocked the Qianghu heart from his heart, making them dare not rob it again if they wanted to.

The second step is to encourage farming and promote animal husbandry.

After destroying the vast majority of the armed forces in the Qiang and Hu, Huangfu Jian asked those who were willing to engage in farming to allocate land and let them return to the fields. Those who cannot farm should not let them starve to death and go to herd sheep and herd horses.

The third step is to recruit all those who are extremely brave and unwilling to engage in production into the military camp and join the army.

Nearly half of the more than 100,000 regular troops under Huangfu Jian have Qiang and Hu bloodlines. The proportion of Qiang people among the tens of thousands of cavalry is more than half. Huangfu Jian does not care about race, but only needs it. I will let you eat and wear warmth, pay you plenty of food and go to war with me. You are happy, I am willing, and will definitely kill these social unstable factors.

The people in Xiliang land have to eat and wear, who would rob a demon who kills without blinking!
