Su Ren's words were simple, but Zhang Qian had to break his legs and waist. People who are willing to join the Han people must be registered, the property and livestock left by the Qiang leaders need to be counted, and the distribution method needs to be formulated. Everything needs to be done by Zhang Qian
The prefect will handle it. However, thanks to the help of Lao Wang and other merchants from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, although the matter is complicated, it is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Looking at the busy Zhang Qian and Lao Wang, Su Ren sat leisurely drinking tea. Over the years, starting from the time when he just didn't want to drink boiled water to make tea, years of training and training. Now Su Ren has also begun to enjoy tea.
The true meaning, slowly drinking some tea ceremony.
"Old Wang, I think you should stop following Lao Cui when you return to Chang'an. How about you become an accountant in my house? If His Majesty asks me to lead an army in the future, how about you become a Sima for me and be responsible for the army's food and grass?"
This kind of thing must be done by experienced and real people. I get a headache when I see these things."
Lao Wang was immersed in sorting out the documents and chuckled: "General Su, I'm so flattered. I've been working in the Cui family for more than thirty years. Although I haven't made any great achievements, the old and young masters have taken good care of me. How can I give up for a little favor?"
If I marry my employer, how can I still be seen among merchants with this face from now on?"
Su Ren shook his head and sighed: "Old Cui really can't know how to make good use of others, what a pity, what a pity!"
Zhang Qian raised his head and glanced at Su Ren: "Not to mention, thanks to Brother Wang and these merchants this time, otherwise it would be hard for me to deal with this sudden incident."
Old Wang smiled again: "The prefect has given me the reward. This time I came to the Western Region with Mr. Su. The head of the family has repeatedly told me to cooperate fully. It's such a small thing, and besides, this is to contribute to the imperial court, so I have no shirking responsibility!"
Zhang Qian nodded and held hands with Lao Wang. They were very harmonious with each other. Seeing Su Ren sitting aside very leisurely, the bad breath in his chest came out again: "Okay, my General Su, if you want to drink tea, go out and drink it. If you can
Don't you want to disturb the two of us in the room? You've made such a huge mess, we are so busy, but you are so leisurely and at ease, you'll get angry when you see it!"
Su Ren laughed loudly: "This is called specialization in the arts. Since you have become the governor of Yumen, you have to handle these matters. I will return to Chang'an in a short time. They are all people under your rule, and you will assign them to them."
These things are also for your benefit, right? Prefect Zhang?"
Su Renxian was bored and disturbed others' work in Zhang Qian's room, but he didn't know that sixty miles away from Yumen, someone was gnashing his teeth and galloping on horseback. His target was Yumen, and this time he didn't just bring three or two people here.
While playing around, the mighty soldiers and horses behind them have proved that the attackers are not good-natured, and if not done well, Yumen City will most likely have to endure another war.
The city wall of Yumen has been completed. Su Ren not only built the city according to the basic style of Han Dynasty city building, but also used many new methods of city building invented by later generations. For example, the urn city and watchtowers were Su Ren's inventions. A piece of the smooth city wall suddenly protruded.
, forming an angle with the city walls on both sides. As long as the attackers get close to the city walls, they will be exposed to attacks from at least two sides.
In addition, Su Ren built more than a dozen beacon towers on the tops of the mountains on the left and right sides of Yumen City according to the topography of Yumen City. As long as someone pays attention to Yumen City, they can be found sixty miles away during the day, and they will be found three times at night.
It was discovered ten miles away. Although the distance was not long, it at least gave Yumen City some time to prepare.
The beacon fire suddenly appeared from the top of the mountain in the north. The people of Yumen who were not used to this way of delivering news did not react. One by one they stopped what they were doing and looked up at the billowing smoke rising into the sky. Hawking followed Su Ren around Yanmen Pass.
Of course, he had seen the smoke. When he saw the thick smoke for the first time, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Lieutenant Zha, lead the troops to the city quickly, the enemy is coming from the north!"
Zaji had firmly sided with Su Ren. Sparing his life was only the second priority. He saw Shan Gu's despicableness and felt Su Ren's sincerity, so he made his own decision. Hearing Hawking's instructions, he also saw Langyan's message.
, also knew that the matter was serious, and immediately ordered people to blow the trumpet to warn. While putting on his armor, he strode straight towards the north gate.
"Woo..." A low horn horn suddenly sounded. Hawking kept urging Heifeng to speed up, and loudly reminded pedestrians on the road to pay attention while running wildly.
Su Ren had just finished drinking a cup of tea when he heard the sound of an ox horn. Zhang Qian put down his pen and looked out the window: "It's the north, the smoke has already risen! Maybe it's the Huns!"
Han Qing ran in in a hurry and did not bother to salute: "Sir, King Xiutu led an army of 30,000 people and came in a mighty manner. They are still fifty miles away from the city!"
"King Xiitu?" Su Ren was a little confused.
Zhang Qian frowned and said: "You have made a fool of yourself in the cold wind. This time King Xiutu may be coming with bad intentions!"
Su Ren thought for a while, then threw down the tea bowl: "Let's go and have a look!"
Huo Jin jumped off his horse and happened to meet Su Ren who was about to go out: "Brother, the enemy attacking from the north should be the Huns. Zaji has already led people to the city. Xiaobao and Zhang Tong led the cavalry out of the city to investigate, and Wu Xi also started
Organize people to transport the equipment to defend the city, I'm afraid the Huns won't give up this time!"
Su Ren was very satisfied with Hawking's arrangements. After following him for so many years, Hawking had transformed from a silly child into a qualified general. At least in this case, the arrangements were very appropriate.
Su Ren nodded: "They are still fifty miles away from the city. Don't rush to fight yet. Defend the city and listen to what they say first!"
A distance of fifty miles would not take long for the cavalry to cover. What happened at Lengfengkou made King Xiutu furious. One of his generals died in the battle, and more than a thousand warriors were killed, but he got nothing.
Su Ren told him nicely at the beginning that he had as many livestock as he wanted and as much wealth as he wanted. But what happened in the end? Even if he had no livestock, he had no wealth at all. Not even a Qiang person was left for him. Hugh
No matter how good-tempered King Tu was, how could he swallow his anger after being deceived?
Tu Xi raised his hand and was the first to rein in the war horse, and the army behind him immediately stopped. Yumen City was right in front of him, and he did not encounter any obstacles along the way, which meant that the city was well prepared. This time, the king himself
The army was raised to question the crime. If Su Ren could not give a satisfactory answer to the king, only chickens and dogs would be able to conquer Yumen City. These were the king's exact words.
"Line up to rest and send someone to inform the king that we have arrived at Yumen City! It seems that Su Ren is also ready!"
The messenger agreed, turned his horse's head and ran back.
Zaji held the parapet, looked at the huge cavalry team in front of him, and swallowed unconsciously. Hawking patted him on the shoulder: "What? Are you scared?"
Zaji rolled his eyes: "This is just the vanguard of the Huns, with three thousand people. It is estimated that the army will number at least 20,000!"
Huo Jin smiled: "It's not 20,000, it's 30,000, and King Xiutu personally leads the army!"
"Ah!" Zaji exclaimed. Hawking laughed loudly: "Thirty thousand scared you to this point. I remember when my eldest brother and I were in Mayi, the Xiongnu Shanyu personally led an army of 200,000 people. Brother's
Without even frowning, Big Brother didn’t pay much attention to the mere 30,000 Huns. With just a little effort, Big Brother could make them come back in defeat!”
Zaji secretly glanced at Su Ren, who was standing on the tower talking and laughing, and immediately felt admiration in his heart. He didn't have much contact with Su Ren. In the past, he only heard people mention it occasionally.
Yelang Shangdao single-handedly provoked the Qiang people to fight endlessly, and even dared to go deep into the hinterland of the Yue people with only tens of thousands of county soldiers. Today he had truly seen what it means to be a big shot who appoints a country through talking and laughing.
"Thirty thousand is quite a lot! King Xiutu seems to be really angry this time!"
Han Qingdao: "Lengfengkou, they lost their troops, but they didn't get anything. Anyone who puts it on them will be very angry! I'm afraid this time can't solve the problem by talking. Should I ask Shi Bao to prepare something else to avoid being attacked by the Huns?"
city?"
Su Ren chuckled: "I thought so too, but that thing was used up last time. If the Huns attack the city, we have no choice but to fight hard!"
"Ah! We don't have many people in our hands. There are about 500 guards. The rest are all Qiang people. We must not let them out of the city. If these guys change sides in the battle, Yumen will be completely hopeless!"
Su Ren was also a little helpless: "Then what can you do? Don't you have a soldier in your family?"
"Stand still and wait for reinforcements. I have sent people to send a message to Shanshan and Hami. As long as we insist on sending troops to these two places, the Huns will retreat without a fight!"
"Shanshan and Hami? Wang Hui and Lao Gou are in charge of Shanshan. They will definitely send reinforcements. But Hami is not guaranteed. I would be happy if they don't stab us again when we fail. It's better to rely on ourselves to count on them!" Su Ren
Shaking his head: "That's it. I believe Zaji once said that if he can tell King Tu to leave, maybe he will fight! The thing has been done, there is no use regretting it!" He turned to Huang Shisan and said: "
Send orders everywhere! If the Huns come close, kill them!"
The purpose of King Xiutu's visit is very obvious, which is to raise an army to punish the guilty. The reason why he brought so many soldiers is to put pressure on Su Ren. If a fight really breaks out, Su Ren will be able to stop his Huns warriors with the Yumen City Wall, even in the end
Breaking through Yumen will definitely result in heavy losses outweighing the gains. Now it has become more and more obvious that Yi Zhixie has the upper hand on the grassland. If Yi Zhixie defeats Yu Shan, he will have no soldiers in King Xiutu's hands.
Horse, you can see what happens next.
King Xiutu rode his horse to the front of the battle, raised his head and glanced at the city: "Let Su Ren come out and answer!"
Su Ren chuckled and put his head out of the female wall, but was pulled back by Huang Shisan. At the same time, an arrow as thick as a thumb flew past Su Ren's scalp, nailing it heavily on the newly repaired scalp.
On the pillars of the city tower, the tail of the arrow was still trembling. Su Ren was so frightened that he was stunned for a long time and did not recover.
"There is a sharpshooter! King Xiutu is so despicable!" Huo Jin was furious and turned around to lead people out of the city.
"Come back!" Su Ren calmed down and called out to Hawking: "If he wanted to demonstrate again, he would have shot me already!" (To be continued)
