"Ga, ga..." The horse's hooves were fast, Meng Yuan rode his horse back to Meng Fu and shouted, "Father, there is still no movement in the valleys on both sides of the pass in front. Could it be that he made a mistake?"

"It's definitely not." Meng Feng said loudly, "There must be ambushing troops in the valleys on both sides!"

Meng Yuan said: "But our army is almost crossing the mountain pass, why haven't the Han army come out to intercept it?"

"No matter how many," Meng Feng waved his hand and said with a grim voice, "The Han army ambush will not come out, and this good show in Mo Nan cannot be sung, so we have to add another fire and force the Han army ambush out!"

"Forcing it out?" Meng Yuan said, "Father, are you driving the Huns, women, children, cattle and sheep into the valley?"

"Good son, you have made great progress!" Meng Feng said happily, "Yuaner, you and Liaoer each lead 500 cavalry to send the Huns women, children, cattle and sheep to the valley. If you want to hurry, the Huns will catch up!"

"Yes!" Meng Yuan, Meng Liao responded with a loud bang and set off five hundred cavalry each.

Meng Feng said to Meng Keung again: "Second brother, let's go. The Han army is too petty and unwilling to entertain us. We can't be shameless here, right? Hahaha..." With a long smile on the sky, Meng Feng rushed the horse to fly, crossing the mountain pass, and entering the Dai County of Yan from the southern desert grassland.

#############

The sky finally dawned, and more than 100,000 Hun cavalry finally approached the mountain pass.

Gu Nuoyan took the lead and ran in front. On the left and right sides were King Zuo Guli and King You Guli. At this time, they had discovered something wrong. The Chu army fled ahead was only a few thousand cavalry, and there were not many women, children, cattle and sheep, and it was not as much as Gongshu said as Gongshu said. Obviously, Gongshu said that he had misjudged the situation again.

However, at this critical moment, Gu Nuoyan no longer had to settle the score with his uncle. The most urgent task was to quickly stop the women, children, cattle and sheep in front of him. Although there were only tens of thousands of women, children and only tens of thousands of cows and sheep, no matter how small the mosquitoes were, they were still meat. If the plow tribe wants to survive and reproduce, there must be no cows, sheep and women and children.

"Huh?!" As he ran, Gao Aduo, the king of Zuo Guli, suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said loudly, "Why did the Chu army drive women, children, cows and sheep into the valleys on both sides? What are they doing?"

"Do they want to occupy the valley and guard it almost to death?" King Kayitu of Youguli was also a little surprised and confused, so he immediately shouted in front of him, "No, no, the Chu army rushed out again."

"Don't worry about so many!" Gu Nuoyan said gritting his teeth. "Send thousands of people to the valley to collect women, children, cattle and sheep. The large group of people continued to move forward. Even if they chased to the ends of the world, they would definitely kill all these Chu kings!" The Chu army pierced the cave and almost uprooted the pirates. This was the deep hatred of the blood of the country and the seeds that destroyed the country.

#############

On the cliff, Zhao Mu and Sun Fen were as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Champion Hou. Chu army has driven women, children, cattle and sheep into the valley!"

"From forward, our ambush will be discovered. What should we do now?"

"Huh? The Chu army rushed out of the valley again? Do they want women, children, cows and sheep?"

"Oh, no, the Huns rushed in. They must have come for women, children, cows and sheep!"

"It's broken. The ambush was discovered by the Huns, and the Huns shot out the whistle and fired a whistle outside the valley. They were warning!"

"Oh no, the Huns' large team of people came back, the champion Hou and the Huns came back, they were killed by us, what should we do now, what should we do?!"

"What are you yelling? Shut up!" Zhou Guanfu was also confused. He was originally coming for the Chu army, but why did he start to fight with the Huns in a daze? But he has reached this point, and he can't even hide. Zhou Guanfu pulled out two iron halberds from his back, turned over and the horse, and shouted loudly, "Blow the trumpet... all the troops gather!"

"Woooooooooooooo..." In an instant, the sound of the horns of Youyuan soared into the sky from the valley.

Amid the endless sound of trumpets, the Han cavalry, the Han cavalry, and the Zhao cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, all turned over their horses, and then took out bright swords, and then rushed out of the valley, violently colliding with the Hun army that had been turning back. In front of the two armies, people suddenly turned over and over.

#############

"Father, father..." Meng Yuan, Meng Liao rode his horse like flying, chasing him quickly behind him.

Meng Feng slowed down his horse speed a little, and the two guys quickly chased after him. Meng Yuan shouted: "Father, the Huns have returned, and the sound of killing in the direction of the mountain pass is shocking. It seems that there are really ambushes in the valley."

"That's more," Meng Feng said lightly, "Of course there are ambushes in the valley."

Meng Liao said puzzledly: "Father, why are you sure there are ambushes in the valley?"

Meng Feng refused to answer, turned to Meng Keng on one side and said, "Dragon, tell them."

Meng Keng said: "Yuan'er, Liao'er, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If you want to be clear, you must pay attention to every detail around you. You must remember that details determine success or failure!"

Meng Yuan thoughtfully and asked again: "Uncle, do you mean that by doing it carefully, you can see through the ambush in the valley?"

"Yes!" Meng Keng nodded and said solemnly, "This Chile Pass is the only way for Dai County to go deep into the grassland. If a peddler wants to go to the desert to trade, he must pass here. But we went south all the way, have we ever encountered a team of business travelers? Or a peddler pawn? Obviously, this Chile Pass has long been blocked."

After a pause, Meng Keng continued, "So who blocked the Chile Pass and why did he block it? After careful analysis, it is not difficult to guess who else will be besides the Han army?"

Meng Liao beat the quarrel and sighed: "Fate comes like this, fate comes like this!"

Meng Fengqi groaned and said, "Boy, you are still very young. Don't think that you have learned a few skills of three-legged cats. After reading a few broken military books, you think that I am the best in the world. You have to learn a lot of things!" After a pause, Meng Fengqi said again, "I'm not afraid to tell you that in fact, the general had expected that the Han army would ambush here long before the division of troops!"

Meng Yuan, Meng Liao couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, and his eyes also showed admiration.

Meng Feng said again: "Children, the Han prime minister Bai Mo is indeed powerful, but he is just cautious in using troops. The general is truly powerful in using troops, and Bai Mo is far inferior to him."

#############

Seeing that Bai Mo was a little distracted, Liu Heng couldn't help asking, "Xiangfu, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Mo Ru Meng woke up and asked Liu Heng awkwardly: "King, where have you said?"

Liu Heng murmured in his heart, and replied respectfully: "Xiangfu just said that he would set up an official to specialize in the benefits of the mountain and lakes."

The so-called benefits of mountains and lakes mainly refer to rock salt and iron. The salt and iron franchise has a long history. The earliest person to practice was Guan Zhong. The reforms of Qin State Wei Yang also brought salt and iron back to the state. When Xiao He was the prime minister, he adopted the national policy of resting with the people. At the same time, he liberated the franchise of salt and iron, allowing private operations. Baimo emphasized agriculture and neglected commerce without taking this into consideration.

However, it is undeniable that the salt and iron franchise has made great profits. The most obvious example is that several wealthy families specializing in salt and iron have emerged in Guanzhong. For example, the Sima family who sold well salt from Ba and Shu to Guanzhong for sale. The wealth is even no less than that of the Wang family, and the Lu family that operates iron tools is no less than that of the iron.

At the moment, the Han Dynasty's treasury was empty, and Bai Mo had the idea of ​​specializing in salt and iron.

Bai Mo also thought of following the example of Chu State and promulgating new laws to encourage industry and commerce, but this would take a long time to show results. However, the big picture today cannot give Bai Mo so much time. So after weighing the pros and cons, Bai Mo still chose a salt and iron specialty, which made a lot of profits and took quick results.

However, to realize the salt and iron franchise, it is necessary to defeat the Sima family, the Lu family and other giant merchants in Guanzhong.

However, the Sima family is a famous wealthy family in Guanzhong. Its power is mixed in the court and the country, and it is difficult to move. After the Lu family was suppressed by Bai Mo and Chen Ping, its power was no longer as strong as before, but its invisible influence cannot be underestimated. If Bai Mo really intends to uproot the Lu family, I am afraid that Zhou Guanfu will not be able to pass that level.

Therefore, this matter has to be discussed in a long-term way. In addition to making a fuss about enriching the commanding heights of the national treasury, we also have to find ways to open a gap in these giant merchants. According to the investigation by the Black Ice Platform, many Guanzhong merchants envied Chu's national policy of encouraging industry and commerce, intentionally or unintentionally would always uplift Chu's country, belitt the Han country, but this is a breakthrough that can be exploited.

Bai Mo said at the moment: "King, salt and iron are profitable. If you can set up a specialty official, it will greatly enrich the national treasury and greatly attack the illegal wealthy businessmen in Guanzhong."

Speaking of this, Bai Mo deliberately paused, then said in a more intense tone: "As far as I know, the Sima family, the Lü family and other giant merchants rely on their wealth to bribe court officials unscrupulously, and they collude with each other. What is particularly worrying is that many giant merchants and merchants actually secretly colluded with the State of Chu, and their hearts are punished."

Liu Heng's face changed slightly and he said, "What happened?"

Bai Mo said: "This is all the information provided by the Black Ice Platform. The king summoned the Grand Master to ask."

Liu Heng nodded, and was about to ask the attendant to summon Chen Pingshi, but the attendant came in to report: "King, the Grand Master is asking for a visit."

"Come on your behalf." Liu Heng waved his hand, and the waiter bowed and then left the side hall. After a moment, he led Chen Ping in hurriedly. Chen Ping frowned deeply and his face was a little solemn. Bai Mo suddenly cried in his heart when he saw it. Seeing the Grand Master's appearance, he was afraid that there would be some bad news.

Sure enough, after seeing Liu Heng, Chen Ping said: "King, Prime Minister, I just received a letter from Jiuyuan that the cavalry army encountered the main army of the Huns at the Chile Pass in Dai County. After a war, more than half of them were killed or injured. The champion Hou had led the remaining troops to retreat to Jiuyuan. The Korean army that participated in this battle, and the Zhao army were completely destroyed!"

"Ah?" Liu Heng was shocked when he heard this and instinctively looked at Bai Mo.

"Huns?" Bai Mo suddenly understood the joints and sighed, "This is a disaster to the west. I have fallen into the plan of the disaster to the west by Brother Bi Shu, alas." (To be continued)
