The chariot drove away from the military camp, Gongsun Zhi opened the curtain, and the sun was on the west side, and the red light was shining on his face. Then the carriage entered the city, and the shops, pedestrians and business shouts were mixed together on Juyang Chang Street. Many people saw the carriage, and they made way for the road and retreated to the eaves on both sides in fear.

This is an extension of the consequences of the fact that the food hoarding has not been completely eliminated.

Outside, Gongsun Zhi was the white horse general. In fact, when he came to this world, he only contacted the horse bandits, or in other words, he was just an administrator in his previous life. He experienced the land and the people could not read books for a few years. Moreover, in the past few years, he had almost been fighting and racked his brains to get from nothing. He snatched Liu Bei's power in front of the Sishui Pass, left Zhang Yan's Heishan people with nothing, and took the barren land of Shanggu County from Gongsun Zan.

Similarly, he also lost a lot of things. In the past, more than 100 people who followed him to start their own business, I don’t know how many left. Dongfang Sheng also survived here, killing Liu Yu to remove a stumbling block, and devilished him. The road ahead is full of thorns. He goes as far as he can, and he always has to cut a frank way for Zhenger.

"I'm not the reason for the An family to govern the country, so let the younger generations come."

He looked at the figures of pedestrians and vendors under the eaves on the street, and asked Li Ke who was a little behind: "Who from Cao Cao sent here? Are there any boxes or something next to him?"

"I don't know, it seems that the surname Wang..." Li Ke urged his horse to approach and blinked: "The person who was sending the news didn't say anything. Does the leader think they didn't give gifts?"

"Forget it, I didn't ask."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand, then put down the curtain, and tapped his fingers on the low table a few times. Cao Cao didn't have anyone to send a box to pack his head. Obviously, Han Long had not been caught by the other party, so he would not be too passive. As for the purpose of the other party coming, he had expected that he should have come to ask Jia Xu.

All the way back to the government office, the sky clouds in the west were already dyed red. When the birds fell on the treetops in front of the government gate, the shaft of the car stopped slowly. Wang Lie sent a waiting crew to report. Wang Lang and Xu You had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. Gongsun Zhi nodded, "It's time to come and go to the inn to temporarily arrange for the rest of the inn. I'm not in a hurry."

After giving instructions, when he put down the curtain and returned to the carriage in the direction of his home, the servant also conveyed Gongsun Zhi's words to Wang Lie. Wang Lang and Xu You looked at each other in the seats, probably because they noticed it, so they bowed: "It seems that the governor is busy today, so I will go back to the inn to wait first."

"Then I'll send you two." Wang Lie stood up and bowed to the outside of the mansion. At this time, the sky gradually darkened. "The governor inspected the military camp today and only came back at dusk. I thought it was because he was tired and was afraid that he would neglect the two of them during the conversation, so he arranged for him to see him tomorrow."

"It's okay, we have just arrived in Shanggu County. We are exhausted when we travel a long distance. We just slept on our pillow and had a good sleep." Wang Lang got on the carriage and turned around and bowed: "The county magistrate doesn't have to see you off, so say goodbye."

"Go slowly!"

Wang Lie watched the carriage turn around and leave slowly. He wanted to say something else. After all, Wang Lang was a master of classics and was proficient in various classics. For literati, it would be good to have a long talk. Unfortunately, time was too hasty, and the lord seemed to be unwilling to meet at this time. He stroked his beard and shook his head slightly. The direction of his dim vision, the carriage had disappeared at the end.

The shafts rolled on the street, and the long mission team walked across the long street. In the slightly shaking car, someone lifted the curtains and looked at the city where there was no curfew. Wang Lang frowned a little, while he and Xu You pointed to the pedestrians outside and said with a smile: "Brother Jingxing, how about seeing this prosperous night view?"

"The Shang clouds are like brocade, adding a little bit of fun to the night." Wang Lang pinched his beard and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the merchants are too strong and often use military wars. They are not good for the people and the government. They are not a place for pastoral care. There are few saints who have knowledge and knowledge. In less than ten years, everyone here is a cunning and ruthless person, and it is difficult to achieve success."

Originally, he wanted to say, "If it weren't for me, how could this place be so prosperous?", stuck in Xu You's throat and didn't say it. He put down the curtain, "Isn't it better for the people in this border area to be fierce and ruthless?"

"Ziyuan's words are bad." Wang Lang looked straight at Xu You: "As a Han official, he has the responsibility to defend his country and also has the heart to support the people. The bad people are the fault of his parents. How can he shirk to others? When he came, he heard that Guan Ning was here and Bing Yuan was here. He didn't see him today. If he saw him next time, he should talk to them and educate the people. Only by establishing one's own foundation."

"Brother Jingxing is saying..." Xu You's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to speak, the carriage had already stopped at the entrance of the inn. The two of them got out of the carriage. As soon as they entered the gate, several people strode towards him. Wang Lang shouted, staggered back and almost fell to the ground. The guards beside him quickly came to support him, and the other people were going to stop the figure that hit the person.

However, the man in the other party turned his head and glared: "You can't help but walk, be careful when walking." The person who spoke was Ma Chao who was staying in the inn. At this time, the envoy guards who were blocking the side had just pulled out their swords, the former glanced at them, grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out.

With a loud bang, the long sword in the guard's hand came out, and another thud was thrust, piercing the lantern hanging at the entrance of the inn and nailed to the wall. The guard's palms were shaking, and there was a large area of ​​tiger lipstick. However, the other party didn't look at them, put the sword back into the sheath, turned around and took his subordinates to merge into the crowd at the night market.

"This man is so arrogant..." Xu You muttered, and while straightening Wang Lang, the latter nodded, turned to look at the backs of the people who were leaving, and frowned: "Those people's outfits and their accents just now, like those from Xiliang."

Xu You helped him walk in and said with a smile: "The Shanggu County Making Sales will definitely come to the north from the grassland, east from Liaodong, and west from the caravans. It is not surprising that there are so many people..." Then, his smile calmed down, he straightened his clothes, and his voice was serious and honest: "If You hadn't abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and turned the opportunity to fight, these people would have the opportunity to come to the north to go to this business."

After holding it in for a long time, he finally gave him the opportunity to say it, and his chest became much more refreshed.

....

The night fell, and on the other side, in Gongsun's mansion, the guards patrolling the night had passed through the study twice. There were lights reflected in the window frame. In front of the screen with the pattern of a tiger going down the mountain, Gongsun Zhi was sitting on a big chair and talking to Li Ru on the side. The cauldron, which was warming wine on the stove next to him, was slowly rising.

"Lord, the food and grass of both troops and horses have been shipped. In Youzhou, Ru was not worried. As for Xu Rong and Wen Hou were in charge of Bingzhou, it was not difficult to eat the entire state in one go. However,... there were not many officials in the north to command the county. The employment of personnel was somewhat inferior to Cao Cao."

"...I know this, I can only fight first. However, Hanoi and Gyeonggi are bordered by Gyeonggi, and the prefect Wang Kuang is in the middle. I don't know who he tends to. Then he will turn to Cao Cao's side, which will be a little troublesome. After handling the affairs here, he will probably still have to go there in person."

"Then Ru should tell the prefect Yu in advance..."

Li Ru now basically handed over government affairs to Wang Lie and Bing Yuan, focusing on dealing with all kinds of trivial matters in the army. When it comes to undecided things, he usually asks for instructions from the office, and seems cautious. The two talked about military affairs for a while, and the Confucianism that was spread to the outside world in the past few years was also involved.

"Just as I told Wen You back then, Confucianism is used in weapons. On the one hand, it makes them admire Chinese studies. If there is a chance to conquer in the future, it will be easier for someone to speak Chinese to bribe it. On the other hand, it will restrain its barbarity. If there is a fight, blood and courage will not be taken into account, and we Han people will also shed less blood."

When speaking this, Gongsun Zhi stood up from the big chair, "... On the grassland, Xianbei and the Huns promoted the White Wolf God Cult in large numbers. I need them to be predatory. There is nothing to rob in the Western Regions, so go further west. There should be more countries there, and neither of these two things can be stopped."

"Although the lord has a good idea, if this group of people develop such a cruel temperament, in the future..."

"No way!"

Gongsun Zhi turned around and waved his hand violently: "...Their fate will either die in the west, or be dealt with by me in the future. They are not my race, and they should disappear after they are used up, so as not to affect the Han area in the future. This is the aftermath."

In the words, the scholars there naturally understood that there was a hidden secret of the lord. The north was barren and sparsely populated. Even though it had increased in recent years, the output of grain was only so large. If a large number of troops were recruited, it would inevitably bring great pressure to the people. The population of Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan was blocking great temptations, making them go south to the Han area. This is Gongsun Zhi's bottom line, so it can only be used to conquer and plunder more resources to nourish this area, in order to achieve better improvements in the next ten or twenty years, and maintaining loyalty and fighting with fanatical battles is to instill some beliefs of ghosts and gods, witchcraft, and advocate immortality. In fact, it is quite popular in the Han area. It is not too difficult to capture some people who pretend to be gods and ghosts and throw them into the grassland tribes to spread teachings.

The chucking clapper sounded again, and the conversation in the study was interrupted. Gongsun Zhi sent Li Ru out of the house. The room was quiet. After a while, someone walked past the window frame. The door creaked and pushed open. Cai Yan came in with a bowl of soup, looked at the room, and then placed the porcelain bowl at the table of his husband who was closed and resting. Hearing the movement, Gongsun Zhi opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Come to see if there are any other people in my study?"

"I'm not that scrupulous." Cai Yan smiled and walked to the back of the chair, gently rubbing his shoulders, "...But, my husband also asked for it. After finishing his official duties, there are still some things at home."

"You...ah..."
