The Xuan Jia cavalryman next to Ran Jing had a pale face. He was Ran Jing's deputy general. If he could perform more meritorious service and be promoted to partial general, it would only be a matter of time. If something happened to Ran Jing, his end would definitely not be much better.

The deputy general pulled out his iron sword and roared, "The enemy is attacking, kill them all!"

In an instant, all the Xuanjia cavalry took out their iron swords and started to kill the unarmed Goguryeo people.

The guards who had been unarmed were chopped to the ground one after another. A half-grown boy was dragged out from the loading carriage and chopped into more than a dozen pieces.

Goguryeo had a ferocious nature and organized resistance, but the combination of leather armor and fists was like throwing an egg against a stone in front of the Xuanjia cavalry.

After the killing, more than half of the Goguryeo people had been chopped into pieces.

Lieutenant General Zhu Hongfang let out a long sigh of relief after wiping away the blood on his face.

Ran Jing asked, "What's going on?"

"It's a half-grown child who shot you cold arrows."

Ran Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tie up the remaining people, and let's rob some more before going back."

"promise."

No wonder Ran Jing and the soldiers were nervous, this was already the territory of Goguryeo, and this was an armed caravan. Who knew if there were other cold arrows, the only thing that was not a threat was the dead.

A young man who was tied up with five flowers, his eyes filled with tears, murmured, "Why do you want to shoot arrows? Why do you want to shoot arrows?"

About a hundred people were left to guard it, while the remaining four hundred people went out to plunder.

A few days passed by, and after entering the hinterland of Goguryeo, the goods were indeed abundant. If it were not for the shortage of horses, more people could be captured.

"General, the Goguryeo people are really fierce, and they can fight even more fiercely than the Huns." Zhu Hongfang said.

Ran Jing glanced at him and sneered, "It seems like one of your soldiers was beaten by a woman?"

"Hahahaha~~~!"

The nearby soldiers suddenly burst into laughter, and one soldier lowered his head silently. When he was guarding, he thought it was a woman, but he didn't expect that the woman would use a sharp stone to cut off the rope and sneak up on him.

Unexpectedly, the woman was so fierce. By accident, he was punched and hit in the eye. If it weren't for the helmet, he was blinded. At this time, his face was so red that he was about to explode.

Ran Jing shouted to the soldier, "You're lucky, kid. You just got punched. If it had been a knife, you would have been blinded."

The soldier was surprised and said, "General, don't you blame me?"

"Blame you? Haven't you already learned your lesson? Your Majesty once said that on the battlefield, some mistakes can be made and some mistakes cannot be made, because some mistakes cannot be undone."

"But after you have learned a lesson once, you will definitely be more careful in the future. This is more useful than us telling you a hundred times."

The soldier nodded, he would never forget this.

"Hongfang, we can't speed back now. You organize people to interrogate them. Before returning to Zhuangzi, I want to know the general situation of Goguryeo."

Zhu Hongfang asked curiously, "Interrogation here? Are you too anxious?"

Ran Jing rode on his horse and said with a smile, "Do you know why I was promoted so quickly?"

Zhu Hongfang immediately pricked up his ears and said, "Please give me some advice, General."

"Your Majesty once said that when the superiors tell their subordinates to do something, if they complete it 100%, that's what they should do, because if things don't go well, you can replace them at any time. Even if you can complete it 100%, it doesn't matter, because there are still problems.

A lot of people can do it."

"Your Majesty ordered us to take people back for interrogation, just to get information about Goguryeo. If we question some people in advance or classify these people well, we will separate those who speak the Central Plains dialect from those who cannot."

"The interrogation will be convenient when the time comes. If the superiors use you smoothly, they will naturally promote you."

Zhu Hongfang was very happy, and he kept nodding and thanking Ran Jing, "Thank you, General, for your support."

Ran Jing turned around and said solemnly, "These are things for later, but ideological construction cannot stop. You have to understand that only when the country is strong can we make great achievements and our relatives can live a good life."

Zhu Hongfang also said with a serious face, "General, don't worry, if anyone wants to do harm to the army, your Majesty, or the country, let alone me, the soldiers alone will take them down."

"Yeah, just understand."

Yuntong County, Zhuangzi Nei.

Two middle-aged men were kneeling in the main hall on the first floor of Yang Qian's mansion, crying profusely.

"Stop crying. How unbecoming is it to yell and scream in Lord Wu'an's residence?" Gao Yushi said angrily.

At this time, there was a sound of mechanical transmission, and not long after, Yang Qian was seen walking out of a room, followed by several beautiful women.

"Old Gao~~Long time no see, Yuntong County is managed very well." Yang Qian came to the main seat and sat down slowly, and said lightly.

Gao Yushi immediately handed over "Wu Anjun."

Yang Gan smiled and said, "Old Gao, we are all old acquaintances. There is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

Gao Yushi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't expect that Lord Wu An's attitude towards him would not change at all after becoming the king.

"I have read your official documents. It is true that the county is well managed. I am very satisfied. Unfortunately, you are too old. Otherwise, I could recommend you to go to court."

Lao Gao laughed and said, "Hahaha, Your Majesty, I have already buried half of my people in the ground. There is no point in going to court anymore. I plan to become an official as soon as I can't do it."

"Tsk tsk tsk~~~!"

Yang Gan pointed at Lao Gao and said with a smile, "You are actually the smartest guy. Let's do this. From now on, I will ask the doctors from Xinhuo Academy to diagnose your pulse and check your body. After all, officials, big and small, also work for the country. You must be in good health to be loyal to your country."

Lao Gao cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Wu An on behalf of the officials."

Yang Gan waved his hand, looked at the two people on the ground and asked, "What's going on with you? How can you go to Goguryeo? It's a bitter and cold place over there."

The kneeling middle-aged man wiped his tears and said sadly, "Sir, Yuntong County encourages trade. The caravan we just formed has no connections. I heard that the medicinal materials in Goguryeo are good, especially when their people join us. The Central Plains is different, and the output is very high, so I plan to sell some back."

"It was going well at first. Someone who led our caravan met a small official from Xuantu County, so the goods were fully prepared."

"Who would have thought that one night a few days later, while I and the leaders of the other two caravans were having a drink and chatting, a group of soldiers rushed in from nowhere and killed everyone they saw."

"I was lucky enough to escape by hiding in the cupboard."

Yang Gan said strangely, "It's impossible. If I intend to kill you, why do I have to wait for the last day to do it? The first and second days are both very suitable to do it."

Another middle-aged man looked around and said, "Sir, sir, could it be related to the overheard information?"

Yang Qian immediately became serious and asked urgently, "What information?"

"It was the leaders of the other two caravans. It is said that when they went to establish a relationship, they took a roll of silk from the other party and had something written on it."

"What did you write?"

The middle-aged man said awkwardly, "This, we haven't had time to see this. If adults hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that I took it when I ran away."

"Where is the thing?"

"It's on me." The middle-aged man took out a piece of tightly tied silk from his arms and handed it to Yang Qian respectfully.

After untying the tightly tied silk, I saw that it was covered with blood.

"Haha, it's actually written in our Xia Kingdom, not bad."

After reading all the content, Yang Gan showed a strange look on his face and handed the silk to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yujie came over to take a look and said curiously, "Let the prefect of Xuantu County, what we call the prefect, stock up on food and grass. This is..."

"The transportation of grain and grass is actually normal. I heard that the weather will be cold after winter there, which makes sense."

Xiao Yu had a different opinion, "Sir, that's not right. If it was a normal transportation of grain and grass, why would someone kill everyone after accidentally seeing it?"

Yang Qian suddenly realized, yes, why didn’t he think of it?

"It's just that there is no writing, so I can't tell who wrote it to the prefect of Xuantu County."

After several people discussed it, they couldn't come up with a reason. Yang Gan looked at the two people below and asked, "What are your plans?"

"Plan?" The two middle-aged men looked at each other.

One of them kowtowed wildly and said, "Sir, I know it's difficult, but my son and grandson both died in Goguryeo's territory. We were not the ones who stole the silk. You have to make the decision for us in this matter."

"Didn't I ask you? How do you decide whether to let Goguryeo pay compensation or pay money?"

"I have savings and don't need money. Now my family is ruined and I want the murderer to pay with his life!!!"

The middle-aged man finally plucked up the courage and said with a ferocious expression.

Yang Gan smiled and said, "Okay, that's right. As expected, my Daxia man is a bloody man. Let's go down first. Do what you need to do. Leave your address and I will handle other matters. If you have any feedback in the future, I will Someone will notify you." M.

"Thank you, sir." The two of them were overjoyed. After chatting with Yang Gan for a few words, they walked excitedly outside.

Yang Qian gave Xiao Yu a look, and Xiao Yu immediately nodded and walked outside, sending two secret agents to investigate the two men.

Yang Gan doesn't like to be lied to. No, it's not Yang Gan, it's everyone in the world who doesn't like to be lied to. He doesn't know if these two people have any plans. He must let his own people investigate before he can rest assured.

"Lao Gao, what do you think about this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand this, but I heard from people of the previous generation that the Goguryeo people are very ferocious, and I'm afraid they are difficult to fight. Moreover, if winter comes over there and it's colder than here, we still have to take good care of it. Make a plan."

"In the past, King Wu fought against Gaogouli three times, but he also came back defeated."

Yang Qianqi asked, "Did you lose?"

"It's hard to say. After all, it happened very much before the Chinese New Year. At that time, the king had not even ascended the throne. It is said that both sides suffered heavy losses. I heard that many soldiers suffered from frostbite."

"Hmm~~~!" Yang Qian's brain began to think.

In fact, Yang Qian has already made plans for Goguryeo again. Even though there are many slaves now, there is no project such as mining, canal digging, or wasteland reclamation that does not require slaves.

In addition, Yang Qian also wanted to build bridges and roads and improve infrastructure, so six to seven million slaves were a bit stretched.

At this time, the little cotton-padded jacket came in, bowed and said, "Sir, General Ran is back and wants to see you."

Yang Qian was stunned and said displeasedly, "What do you want to see? Just come in directly. There is no need to communicate next time."

"yes."
