On the second day after arriving in Shanggui, Yunfeng sent people to drive more than a thousand donkeys to Xiabian. It was already the middle of the first lunar month, and the male donkeys' estrus began at the end of February and lasted until late autumn before gradually fading away.

The sooner Yao Gezhong delivers it, the more harm can be done to the Qiang mare!

Along the way, there was also a betrothal gift for Yao Gezhong. According to the Han system for kings to marry queens, Yunfeng paid a million dollars, a thousand pieces of silk, a hundred chariots, and twenty good horses, but he omitted the maids and slaves.

Okay. Although he sounds stingy, he really can't do such a dirty thing by marrying someone's precious daughter home with just over a thousand donkeys.

To his surprise, the Geng brothers hadn't left yet. It turned out that the two brothers heard that Yunfeng's next target was Nanzheng, and immediately decided to set off with him, taking the land route from Hanzhong and boarding the ship through Badong County.

Go down the river and reach your health, at least you no longer have to worry about safety issues.

In Guzang, Yunfeng's residence was very simple. He had no choice but to enter Zhang Shi's big house. The three confiscated mansions all had their own uses. He was reluctant to spend money to rebuild them, so he had to make do with them. But he went up.

Unlike Gong, he moved into the largest and most luxurious Yuan Pu Hong Mansion in the city without any hesitation. Living a simple life was one thing, but as a dignified person in the northwest, the style he should have was still indispensable.

After waiting for five days, on the 21st of the first lunar month, hundreds of people from Yang Ming and his party came to Shanggui. Yunfeng left 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to garrison the city, and entrusted Yang Ming to recruit infantry and cavalry on the spot.

20,000, with Han Jie, the fourth oldest member of the Han family, assisting in military training.

A total of more than 400,000 Han slaves were rescued throughout Qinzhou. Yunfeng followed Zhang Shi's old system for recruiting troops, and one person was selected from every ten people. In his opinion, this ratio was more appropriate and would not greatly affect production in the rear.

As for Yang Ming's position as governor of Qinzhou, he didn't bother to write to the court to ask for canonization. Anyway, everyone knows what's going on. In the land of the northwest, that old guy Sima Rui can't get it even if his throat is broken.

Yunfeng's small cough did not help.

On the twenty-third of the first lunar month, after leaving a copy of the official recruitment test paper and standard answers to Yang Ming, Yunfeng personally led 30,000 cavalry, 33,000 infantry, and nearly 4,000 guards and craftsmen, and officially sent troops to Nanzheng.

.

From Hanzhong to the Guanzhong area, one must pass through mountain valleys and cross the Qinling Mountains for 800 miles. There are four roads across the Qinling Mountains from east to west, Ziwu Road, Tangluo Road, Baoxie Road and Chencang Road, all of which wind through the valley.

Most of the steep paths, so-called plank roads, are concentrated on these roads, also called Shu roads.

In addition, there is a road along the Western Han River that loops around Longxi and over the Liupan Mountains to the east, called the Qishan Road. Zhuge Liang passed this road twice during his six northern expeditions.

This road starts from Hanzhong, goes west to Ju County (now Chalou Town, Mian County, Shaanxi Province), goes down to Bian, then goes north to Shanggui, east to Chencang (now Baoji City, Shaanxi Province), and finally reaches the Guanzhong area. If you start from

On the map, it looks like a U-shape with the opening facing right.

What Yunfeng wanted to go was the lower part of the U-shape, but he needed to take a detour. He had to first destroy Yang Wudi's Qiuchi Kingdom (south of today's Xihe County, Gansu Province) located 200 miles southwest of Shanggui.

, then turn down and go straight to Nanzheng.

The total journey was nearly 900 miles. However, starting from Shimoben, I had no choice but to bring my crossbow along with me. There was no other way. The mountains were high and the roads were narrow, the forests were dense and the valleys were deep. The trebuchet was too heavy and it was extremely inconvenient to cross the mountains and ridges, so I had to use local materials.

Re-manufacture.

In the early morning of the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, Yunfeng led his army to the city of Qiuchi. He didn't even set up camp. He looked at the crowds of Di soldiers standing on the top of the city and shouted directly: "Listen, Yang Duryodhana, I will limit the number of troops to this city."

You can open the city and surrender within an hour, so you can still survive, otherwise, you will be killed when my army breaks the city!"

There was already a mess on top of the city. Although Yang Nandi had a domineering name, his strength was comparable to that of Yao Gezhong. He only had less than 100,000 tribesmen under his command. Looking at the Liangzhou army below the city, they saw that they were well-organized and large in number.

They were all equipped with weapons and quickly shouted: "Is this the person who is coming in front of the Mu of Liangzhou? I am the hussar general of the Jin Dynasty, King Zuo Xian. You and I are ministers in the same court, so how can we use weapons rashly? Please ask your Majesty to retreat quickly.

, I, Qiu Chi, am willing to provide food, grass and labor for the army."

Yun Feng was furious and shouted: "Yang Duryodhana, could it be that you treat me as a beggar? How can I come here just for your food and grass? I will not deny it, how can I allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? I am cold

The state army has wiped out Qinzhou, how can you leave Qiuchi alone?

?An hour flies by quickly. Yang Nandi, you must make a decision quickly. I hope you won't take any chances." After saying that, Yunfeng ordered 15,000 cavalrymen to send out 5,000 cavalry each and gallop towards the remaining three gates of Qiuchi.

The trebuchets and crossbows moved forward and prepared to attack the city.

About a quarter of an hour later, the city gate opened a small crack, and nearly a hundred people walked out, as well as more than ten cars. The leader was a middle-aged man, followed by more than a dozen followers, and the rest were all young and beautiful women.

She was dressed in a fancy dress, and despite the strong cold wind blowing around her, her clothes were thin and she was shivering from the cold, showing off her graceful figure.

Arriving in front of the formation, the middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said loudly: "I am Yang Jian, the brother of the Hussars General of the Jin Dynasty. My brother is willing to submit to the vassal and serve as the envoy. In the future, I will pay tribute every year and send him as a gift."

The gold, silver, wealth and the dancing girls of my clan, they are all virgins, please feel free to enjoy them, I only hope that you will have mercy on me, Qiu Chi."

Before Yunfeng could speak, the eyes of the guards behind him had a green light. There were so many beautiful women again, and this time the quality was higher, they were virgins! They knew that Yunfeng was henpecked and would not take advantage of him.

Yes, I couldn't help but look at him expectantly.

The personal guards are actually equivalent to domestic slaves, but Yunfeng does not treat them as domestic slaves. The beautiful women he captures are distributed to the personal guards as much as possible as long as they are willing. After a few times, the vision of these people has been controlled by him.

, some people can obviously marry a girl from a good family, but they just don’t.

, would rather follow him and pick up other people's concubines, nothing else, most folk women are not beautiful. Yunfeng can also understand, everyone has the love for beauty! This is similar to his previous life, basically walking on the street

They are all ugly women, and the beautiful ones have been kept by others for a long time. It was the same in ancient times.

Yunfeng smiled slightly and gave Su Qizhen a wink. Now Su Qizhen has inexplicably established a tacit understanding of the soul with Yunfeng. In many cases, there is no need to explain. One movement or expression can clearly understand this person's thoughts. This makes

She was ashamed, happy and a little worried. She immediately led the female guards forward, put clothes on the dancer and brought her back to the formation. Of course, the dozens of carts of goods would not be left behind.

When Yang Jian saw that Yunfeng accepted the gift, he felt happy and saluted again: "I would like to thank the general for his kindness."

He thought that Yunfeng had agreed to withdraw his troops. According to common sense, eating people is short-tongued and taking advantage of others is soft-handed. But how can Yunfeng, a leader like a wild goose and his hair shine, treat him according to common sense? Everyone in the army is equally dissatisfied with her.

With the idiotic looks in their eyes, even the Geng brothers and sisters, who had a preliminary understanding of Yunfeng, showed pity in their eyes, which made Yang Jian feel a little bad.
