The queue slowly moved forward, and soon it was the turn of the herder not far away.
"That over there! What are you looking at? Call you here!" A Wei Xu guard pointed at the herdsman and shouted.
The herdsman's face suddenly turned pale. He subconsciously avoided the gaze of Wei Xu's personal guard, but soon realized his situation. He quickly held the skin on his shoulder with his hand as a cover-up, and then pretended that he did not understand Chinese and did not walk over.
There are many herders who can speak Chinese, but more shepherds do not speak Chinese, so it is actually a very normal thing for herders to not listen to Chinese.
The only flaw is not the face of the herdsmen. After all, they are stained with so much dust and are exposed to the wind and sun. Even if they blush and white, they cannot tell clearly for a while. What is more obvious is their behavior. When the herdsmen are called, there is obviously a pause. If they don’t understand Chinese at all, how can they react like this?
Therefore, Wei Xu's personal Wei Shi Chang narrowed his eyes and stared at the herdsman. He did not go directly to find the herdsman, but just signaled his subordinates to stare, and then first found the caravan leader in front of the herdsman.
"Is he yours?" asked.
"No! No!" The leader of the caravan shook his hands, "We don't know him at all! Sir, look, this is our guide. We are all Han people from Longxi, and there are no shepherds!"
"Well..." The long-time leader took over the road. The road styles are relatively unified. Everyone goes to and from wherever they are. It is indeed written on the origin of Jincheng, Longxi, and there are no herders.
When he was checking, Shi Chang felt that the arm was slightly touched. Then he looked down and saw that the leader of the caravan stuffed a purse from his sleeve. He smiled immediately, took it skillfully, then put it in his belt, and returned the Lu Yin to the leader of the caravan, waved his hand, "Let's go!"
The caravan walked forward, and the herdsmen hesitated for a moment and wanted to follow him, but were stopped.
"Come here, come here!" Shi Chang waved.
The herders still did not move.
"Did you hear it? Come here!!" Shi Chang added his movements and gestures, and the herdsman seemed to understand. He rubbed for a while and walked in front of Shi Chang and others.
"Li Xin, Li Shuzuo, you don't have to pretend." Shi Chang screamed, with a smile on his face, but his hands pressed the hilt, "Do you know how hard we have worked for you?"
How long do you know Li Xin?
I don’t know, Shi Chang just knows such a name, and only has a rough appearance description. In the Han Dynasty without photo technology, even portraits were mostly outlined and not realistic. It was basically impossible to catch people based on any wanted portrait.
Shi Chang looked at the height and shape of the herdsman, and was about the same as those described by Li Xin, so he was about to make a fuss.
Even if it is wrong, or if you catch it directly, what's wrong with identifying that it's not Li Xin?
Anyway, their mission has been completed, and the next time they come out to drink the northwest wind will be someone else.
But the herdsman's reaction made Shi Chang stunned for a moment and he was immediately overjoyed!
Just as Shi Chang's men approached the herdsman, the herdsman shouted, then threw the roll on his shoulder directly at Shi Chang's, then pushed the person behind him away, turned around and ran wildly to the side of the road.
The scene suddenly became in chaos!
Anyone with experience knows that no matter whether it is something or not, don’t run wildly in front of the police...
As soon as the herdsman ran away, Shi Chang couldn't help but jump up, and his instinctive reaction was to yell: "Stop! Don't run!"
It’s just a pity that when most people shout this, the other party not only won’t stop, but also accelerates and runs.
"Don't... Bah, bah!" Shi Chang chased him desperately while pressing the sword, while thinking about shouting. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was filled with wind and sand in front of him. He couldn't shout anything, so he could only spit on the sand and soil, and then chased forward with fierceness.
Logically speaking, Shi Chang and others were wearing military armor and carrying more weight than the herdsmen. Therefore, if they ran for a long time, their endurance would definitely not be as good as that of the herdsmen. However, the problem was that Shi Chang and others did not consume much physical strength at the checkpoint before, and the herdsmen came over for a long distance, but they definitely did not have sufficient supplies and food like Shi Chang and others. With this increase and decrease, after running for a while, their strength gradually became unable to keep up.
The herder could not run anymore, was dizzy, and fell to the ground with a grunt.
Shi Chang and a few people chased him to the front. Just as he was about to approach, he was forced back by the dagger pulled out by the herdsman.
"Oh, thrust..."
Shi Chang signaled that several other people surrounded him and drew out their swords.
Seeing that the man was surrounded by a slight smile, Shi Chang said with a grin: "Put down the knife and surrender, I won't make things difficult for you! Otherwise, you will suffer in flesh and blood!"
"Stop! Keep someone under the knife!" Gao Shun's soldiers on the checkpoint ran over, "General Gao had an order and caught the escaped soldiers and took them to Yumen Pass for trial!"
The herdsman dressed in Li Xin couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard this.
But before the joyfulness stayed on Li Xin's face for long, Wei Xu's guard shouted: "Kill the fugitives! Execute military law! Take action!"
Li Xin was originally a civil servant, and she was holding a small dagger. She could scare the naked-handed person. She really started to do something and couldn't resist it. Her arm was cut off and the dagger landed on the ground.
Li Xin screamed in pain.
The soldiers Gao Shun in the distance also shouted repeatedly, even raised their swords to ask Wei Xu to stop, but Wei Xu's guard did not listen at all, and directly killed Li Xin, and then left with Li Xin's body.
When Gao Shun received the news, the Wei Xu guards had naturally gone far away. "You died when you went up? What's going on?"
『Report to the general that it was General Wei's guards who killed it...』 The soldiers at the checkpoint replied, 『I think... it's like silence... the man was still shouting something before his death, like complaining about wrongedness...』
"What exactly are you shouting?" Gao Shun asked.
The soldier shook his head, "It's too messy... I was soon blocked by General Wei's guards... and we stood far away and couldn't hear much clearly. We only heard a few words, such as saying that Chang'an in the Western Regions reported something...
"Where is the body of the Western Regions? Chang'an?" Gao Shun asked again.
"Take it away." The soldiers lowered their heads, "We want to keep them, but... we can't keep them. There is only this broken arm at the scene... and this dagger..."
Gao Shun was silent for a while and nodded, "Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work."
The soldiers left, but Gao Shun fell into deep thought.
Because from the broken arm, it doesn’t look like a knife, but a pen...
Therefore, there is probably something wrong with this so-called "desergeant".
Gao Shun did not know nothing about some things in the Western Regions. At the same time, even if Gao Shun said nothing on weekdays, it did not mean that he could get used to some of Wei Xu's actions.
Lu Bu once told him that everyone is brother, and you don’t need to say those words and do things.
Gao Shun believed it before, but later Gao Shun found that only knowing how to do things may not be able to do it. At least this method is not very good for Lu Bu's side.
Lu Bu didn't know what Gao Shun did, because when Lu Bu ordered it, it seemed that Gao Shun had finished it very easily and was done. This sometimes made Lu Bu wonder if Gao Shun could do more?
After all, Gao Shun never said that he worked hard.
So Lu Bu later doubted Gao Shun.
Of course, Lu Bu would have doubts about Gao Shun, and there were other reasons...
Gao Shun frowned and carried his hands behind his back, walking back and forth in the festival hall inside Yumen Pass.
It is said that before Li Rusheng, he left some rules and regulations for Lu Bu to stabilize the Western Regions. If Lu Bu followed these systems and strategies and implemented them honestly, it would be great, but if Lu Bu did not do this...
But the question is whether Li Ru also predicted this result, and is this result also acceptable to Li Ru, and is it the same "very good"?
No matter which direction Lu Bu chooses, it is actually OK for Li Ru?
If this is the case, Gao Shun swallowed, and he hurriedly walked to the table, picked up the pen, and when he was about to finish writing, he didn't know what he thought of again, and was stunned and couldn't continue writing.
The pen hangs in the air, as if it weighs a thousand pounds.
After a moment, Gao Shun put down his pen, sighed, and sat blankly, silent for a long time.
Until the light and shadow set in the west and the sunset all the way into the hall, Gao Shun added some water to the inkstone again, melted the dry ink, then picked up the pen again, wrote two letters, one sent to Chang'an, and the other sent to the Western Regions...
…(〒︿〒)…
Shortly after Gao Shun sent the letter, Lu Bu's edict came.
Gao Shun was still thinking that Lu Bu's reply would be so fast, but he didn't expect that he would just let him strangle the horse thief in the imperial edict.
Although it is somewhat strange to say that from a military perspective, it is not necessary to use soldiers from the Western Regions, but to use Gao Shun from Yumen Pass, and then to dispatch the eastern and western troops to wipe out the horse thieves west of the West Sea, but no matter what, since it was a military order issued by Lu Bu, Gao Shun should naturally follow it.
Maybe this will give you the opportunity to talk to Lu Bu in person?
Gao Shun thought this way, and then took his troops to the West Sea.
July thirteenth.
When Gao Shun arrived at the West Sea, he found that the prosperity of the West Sea was even better than the past. Although such prosperity really made Gao Shun feel very happy, after all, he followed Lu Bu and Li Ru, and built a new city little by little in this wild land. But for some reason, the prosperous scenery in front of him made Gao Shun feel a strong uneasiness in his heart.
The weather is very sunny.
The so-called "handing the way for heaven" in the west of the West Sea does not seem to cause much panic to the people in the city of Xihai, and they even have no sense of panic at all, but are immersed in the upcoming ceremony of the Dharma Assembly.
Ullambana Dharma Assembly.
Or is it called the 15th July celebration?
Or some other name?
Many people in Xihai City actually don’t know the reason or the origin of the Dharma Assembly. They just know that it is going to be lively and celebrating, and they can have a flowing mat to eat, and their belts can be looser...
Everyone is happy, and everyone is happy.
In any feudal dynasty, no matter how rich the rich are, there may be some differences in the scale of wealth between the rich, but the poor are always as poor as they are. Every day, every month and every year, they will find that the wallet is cleaner than their own faces. Therefore, the money of the poor is called every penny of money.
For these poor people, being able to eat for free on a day on a flowing table, even if they can only eat one meal, as long as they can let go of their stomachs and feel that strong sense of fullness, is a major goal in life that they have dreamed of for a long time but have never achieved.
For the rich, eating enough is definitely not a special goal. They care more about communication and communication. Even if they say that some new young Hu Niang from some places have fair skin, or who fights with someone to compete for the sake of jealousy, can slightly satisfy their desire to peek.
Of course, the rich people are more concerned about their money, or whether they can continue to be rich every day, every month, every year, and generations of wealthy people, so they are particularly interested in things like romantic and romantic things, and most of the rich people in the head are thinking about how to get in touch with the powerful and powerful to ensure that their wealth does not lose.
Such a Dharma Assembly just provided the best communication platform for these rich people and also provided an opportunity for these rich people to show their faces in front of Lu Bu. How can we not make these rich people happy?

Lu Bu was happy, Wei Xu and others were also happy while they were busy.
In this case, Gao Shun, who is "unaware of his good deeds", is naturally a little out of place.
Gao Shun has strong military management skills, but his emotional intelligence is not high.
Or Gao Shun disdains to do these so-called "emotional intelligence" things, he is like a battle knife, unilaterally attacking.
Perhaps it was because in the army that one is one, two is two, and he got used to it, which made Gao Shun not interested in these interpersonal exchanges at all.
This is also due to Gao Shun's personality. He felt that since he was a minister, he had to be loyal to his lord, and he would say whatever he had, without being vague or avoiding it. Therefore, after Gao Shun met Lu Bu, he almost made Lu Bu feel embarrassed on the spot...
Lu Bu turned out to be very happy to see Gao Shun. After all, he had disappeared for a long time. But after a moment, Lu Bu's face became phased, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
"Lord, from Xihai to Yumen Pass, there are fifteen checkpoints in total. There are only four places belonging to Yumen Pass, and the rest are from Xihai City. At that time, Li Changshi had three places in the east and west of Xihai, and two places in the east and west of Yumen Pass, so from Xihai to Yumen, there should be only five checkpoints in the sky. But now there are ten more places in the plain. It is said that it has been approved by the Great Protectorate. The pedestrians and caravans can investigate everything. If you give money, you can pass quickly. If you don't give it, you won't tell me if you don't give it for a long time, and you will have to find a reason to fine..."
Lu Bu:『…』
"Lord, not only the food and drink cards at the checkpoints, but even ordinary military officials are like this. They complain as soon as they ask, saying that they have to take care of so many people, do so many things, how hard and tiring, and the implication is that they eat and drink some things? But this is the responsibility of the official position itself. If you feel that you are not competent, you can just retire. Why complain every day, just want benefits but don't want to take responsibility? This is the record of the investigation of the caravan at Yumen Pass. There are many words in the market in Xihai City. Some officials will move away directly if they like goods. What's more, even if they post a note, it's theirs. Isn't this like robbing..."
Lu Bu:『…』
"Lord, the soldiers also lack training. I asked, the West Sea soldiers had only two major training sessions last year, and only five minor training sessions. According to the teachings, the major training sessions were once every three months, and once a month, and even impersonators and bribes them with money. This is the relevant situation. In terms of the training session, the armored cavalry accelerated and slowed down, and the three numbers of wooden stakes were cut off. The soldiers were not lost, and the people were not lost. However, now, you can count them once. If you hand in ten silver coins, you can even pass them. If you hand in thirty, you don’t even need to cut them. If you run a lap, you can pass them. If you hand in 50, you don’t even need to go on a horse and run. Just check the passes...』
Currently, the exchange rate of gold, silver and copper coins of the Chow Qi is about to exchange for ten silver coins in one gold coin and one silver coin for one hundred copper coins. However, in fact, because the Chow Qi is in hand, the number of gold coins is more. The output of silver coins only increases after taking Sichuan and Shu, so the exchange rate between gold and silver coins fluctuates before.
But this fluctuation is actually not closely related to ordinary people, because most ordinary people still settle in copper coins when trading basic goods among private goods, and gold and silver coins are only used after large-scale transactions between merchants. Moreover, this change in exchange rate also caused the Han Dynasty to appear in the prototypes of some financial cryptocurrencies among the Three Guards of Chang'an...
Gao Shun didn't care about Lu Bu's face getting darker and darker, but he was all over his mind.
If Gao Shun has better tips for advice, if Gao Shun can have more time and more opportunities to communicate with Lu Bu, if...
But if, after all, it's just if.
"Enough!" Lu Bu finally couldn't help but shouted loudly, "You don't need to worry about these things! You, you, you will set out to fight against the thief tomorrow!"
"Lord!" Gao Shun wanted to say something else.
"I've said enough! You go to fight against the horse thieves first, and say other things... I'll talk about it when I come back!" Lu Bu no longer wants to listen.
Gao Shun didn't plan to give up, "Lord!"
『Enough!』 Lu Bu glared, 『What, now I don’t want to listen to my orders?!"
『…』 Gao Shun took a long breath, then took a step back, 『I dare not.
Lu Bu was also silent for a while and relaxed a little. "Boping, what you said is also good... But, you go to beat the horse thief first... and talk about the rest of the matters, wait until you come back..."
When Lu Bu said this again, Gao Shun could only nod, "I obey the order."
Gao Shun did not continue to persevere. He felt that it seemed okay to talk about it when he came back.
