17. Thin bones see you along the way

After saying that, Gao Yue ordered Wang Shao and Wanqi to say that these Shatuo and Tuyuhun tribes were mostly forced to stay in Huizhou by Xifan after Ma Chongying was defeated from Yanzhou for the second time. So you can rest assured that Liupan City, Sandcastle, Baicao Army City, Feng'an Army City will be established again. The Shence army stationed on this road is no less than 10,000. In addition, the supply of military food and salt is sufficient. If you don't fight them, they will definitely not dare to fight you. So you might as well set up a trading venue in the inn and Baicao City stationed in Feng'an City and Baicao City, listen to their trade, take the opportunity to give them some small favors, and then connect with the chiefs opposite, and choose someone who is familiar with Chinese language and simple and reliable. Ask him to come to Fengxiang to see me in secret, and have his own important matters to discuss.

After the explanation, Gao Yue and the other two nobles were celebrating the noise and left the Feng'an Military City, which was still under construction, and returned a hundred miles away.

On the edge of the Shaniuling Highland, a group of Shatuo people wearing tattered fur were lying in the cold-cut weeds, overlooking the mouth of the river. The city walls continued to grow higher and extend, and soon the entire river estuary would be included in the military city.

"It will be difficult for us to get past this place in less than twenty days." Zhu Xie, who was covered in armor, was covered with frost and snow on his humor. He squinted his eyes and sighed.

His son Zhu Xiezhiyi lay in the grass as if he was angry. "Since the besiege of the sand castle, Zanpu actually sent a small official with red copper to report to him to dominate, asking us Shatuo to stay in Shaniuling and Tiandu Mountain, and Murong Junchao from Tuyuhun stayed in Huizhou, saying that he should do his best to farm and herd and resist the Tang family's encroachment of the land." When talking about encroaching on the land, Zhiyi turned his body over again and watched the military city.

The speed of construction of the Han people was amazing. The last time they walked from here to attack Yanzhou, all they could see were the decay grass, rivers and barren sand. Now when thousands of Tang soldiers arrived, the castle was stacked like snow in the middle of winter.

After each military city was built, the garrisons of the Tang family came, and then the pasture land was cultivated, and the farmland was reclaimed. Then the food and livestock were abundant, and the caravans also came. The military city became lively. All kinds of goods could be bought. A large amount of money was placed there hotly. The Tang family could use them to recruit more soldiers, advance a hundred miles, find areas with abundant resources and dangerous terrain, and build a military city to expand its territory.

In this case, whether it is Xifan, Shatuo or Tuyuhun, he tries to use cavalry to rob, the terrible crossbow that can swing on the military city is not a vegetarian.

"How can we compare to them for farming and herding?" Finally, Zhiyi complained loudly, "A winter snow can kill nearly half of the livestock. A father, Shatuo can't continue like this!"

Listening to his son's long speech, Zhu Xie was loyal to him, put his hands on his knees, sat under the shade of the tree, and sighed. Several of the followers were lying on the saddles there, chewing half-cooked mutton with no salt. This tasted bad. One of them probably had an unbearable amount of food, and kept lowering his head and retching.

But now I can only do this, where can I find tea to digest food?

In the end, Zhu XieJianzhong felt sorry for his tribe and whispered: "Let the thin bones who are familiar with Chinese language go and exchange the war horses for some food and salt."

A few days later, Thin Gu drove ten war horses, Gui Gui Chong Chong Chong came to the military city. Unexpectedly, the Shence army soldiers who were supervising the construction site did not make things difficult for him. They took the war horse, branded the flying dragon seal, and then gave Thin Gu a large amount of grain and salt. They also evenly put out the wine and tea drinks by the craftsmen and the men and brought him back, and said that they would welcome him to come in the future.

Later, Wuji became bolder and drove herds of horses, camels, sheep and other livestock to Feng'an Military City every half month.

At this moment, Feng'an Military City has been completed, and new ships have been continuously created. Two thousand Shen Jian soldiers guarded here and controlled the river. The guard Wang Shengluan, who was here, and Wan Qi, the official of the Zhichengyuan, really built a tent under the city! Not long after, a tent also set up a tent under Baicao City. For a time, Shatuo, Tuyuhun, and even the Dangxiang Fanluo on both sides of the river, rushed to drive the animals, and some even used sheepskin and cowhides to cross it, and traded with the military city. The whole littoral was like a river, with small boats and rafts carrying cargo, which was very lively.

Every time the thin bones come to sell livestock, the supervisor of the quid farm always exchanges him more tea. "This is the tea from Yangzhou, Xingyuan Prefecture, Lizhou, which is much cheaper than the tea from Shu and Xuanshe. Gao Dayin said that he would sell it to you people in Chuyue (i.e. Shatuo). Sometimes he would give more salt. "The green salt produced in Lingwu is particularly fragrant with roasted pork."

After a while, the reputation of "Gao Dayin" was spread in the tent of the Shatuofan grazing in Tiandu Mountain. Many Shatuo people with awe and gratitude even set up portraits of "Gao Dayin" to worship. Many chiefs came to Zhu Xie and said to Zhu Xie that we still have many relatives in Liangzhou. Now the Tang family's surname is so peaceful to us. You can find the little king of Tuyuhun, and together they prompted the Tang and Tibet to discuss peace and place Huizhou as an idle land, so that we don't have to guard the border for Zanpu here and can return to our hometown.

So Zhu Xie Jinzhong's thoughts became even more chaotic.

He called his eldest son Zhiyi and asked him to go to Murong Junchao in Tuyuhun, and passed down his own ideas, "Tang and Tibet were originally uncles and nephews, and they had previously encountered wars due to various conflicts. As little kings, you and I should also express their opinions and let the two families reunite and stop the war."

At the same time, Jinzhong found Bo Gu again and whispered to him: "You simply found Tangren and asked them to take you to Fengxiang and pay homage to the Gao Dayin, and then say so."

Bo Gu received the order and went to Feng'an City first. He was already very familiar with the local garrison. When Wang Shengluan learned about his purpose, he arranged a raft to let Bo Gu Su and his mount go up to Wei Ruchuan and his mount to the sand castle. Then Ma Youlin, the garrison general in the area, sent five Shence knights with the release pass, and continued to escort Bo Gu to Fengxiang Mansion.

Along the way, Bogu saw the "Qiantun" in the field. Many men and women of Dangxiang built slab houses, cultivated fields, and grazed livestock. They surrounded the magnificent military city of the Tang family. They had wine and tea, and they were happy. They couldn't help but feel envious from the bottom of their hearts.

When I arrived at the city of Jingzhou, it became even more prosperous. Then I went to Baili City. Bogu also saw a monk and lay sermon group from Huguo Temple in Xingyuan Prefecture. Here I set up a stage to rap and chant the Buddhist name of the Pure Land Sect. The men and women surrounded me and could not be circulated. Bogu also watched it for a while, and he was enjoying it.

What's even more amazing is that after these monks finished raping, they also played lanterns and set off fireworks. The fireworks were so powerful that they were created by Taoist nuns in Xingyuan Mansion. The hot fire lights sputtered and fell, causing the men and women in Bailicheng to be very excited, jumping and screaming.

It is said that the Grand Marshal of the Tang family, who was guarding Bailicheng, wanted to play polo, which attracted everyone to run to the polo field again. So Bo Gu asked the Knight Shen Ce if he wanted to visit the prince? He replied, "No, just go to Fengxiang Mansion to talk to Gao Dayin for any joint matters."
