In the land west of Hexi, the biting cold wind envelops the earth with a chill. In Ganzhou City, pedestrians on the street wrap up their clothes involuntarily.
Among these pedestrians, there was a businessman from the Western Regions who hurried to a remote place in the west corner of the city. This person was Hu Yange who had previously colluded with Ji Pu and others to spread rumors.
After a while, Huyange rushed to a courtyard in the west of the city, looked around and then knocked on the door.
I saw a middle-aged man slowly opening half of the wooden door and sticking his head out to observe the situation outside.
"Brother Huyange, it's you." The middle-aged man said, opening the door and welcoming Huyange in, and then slammed the door shut.
"Brothers, the opportunity has come. My master has sent a letter." Huyange said excitedly to Ji Pu and others.
Ji Pu and others looked at Huyange expectantly, waiting for Huyange to say the next thing.
"Brothers, my master has a new order, asking us to take action again. I believe this time we will definitely provoke a war between the Yueshi and Great Qin."
"What do we do?"
Huyange reached out and called Ji Pu and others to his side, and whispered his master's plan to Ji Pu and others.
"What? Brother Huyange, isn't this a bit too risky? If it fails, will we still have a way to survive?" Ji Pu said in surprise.
"Brother Ji Pu, think about it. Although this operation is extremely dangerous, once we succeed, the Qin State and the Yuezhi will immediately fall into a war. By then, my master will send his troops south, and the Qin Dynasty will inevitably fall into a war.
In the chaos, you can also wait for the opportunity and find an opportunity to assassinate Fusu."
After hearing Hu Yange's words, Ji Pu's doubtful eyes gradually became clearer, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "I'm ready to go all out. As long as I can avenge the king, I'm not afraid even if I die."
"Brother Ji Pu is so righteous, I admire him so much."
Huyan Ge saw a satisfied smile on his face when Ji Pu was willing to act according to his master's plan.
After taking care of Ji Pu and others, Huyange quickly left the residence of Jipu and others and rushed back to his own shop in the prosperous area of Ganzhou City. Among these shops, Huyange not only sold cattle and sheep from the Western Regions, but also
It is his stronghold in Ganzhou City.
These pavements on the central streets of Ganzhou City were originally built for Qin and foreign merchants. According to regulations, as long as they pay the rent specified by the government, both Qin people and foreign merchants can rent this street.
Shops on the street.
The reason why Huyan Ge chooses his stronghold in this prosperous place is also for safety reasons. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. This truth has been the ultimate truth since ancient times. Anyone with some knowledge
People will follow this principle from time to time.
Half an hour later, Huyange handed a secret letter to a clerk, and asked the clerk to take the secret letter out of Ganzhou City on the pretext of purchasing goods and driving cattle and sheep, and then handed it over to a team of people working in the city.
In the hands of the "merchants" waiting outside the city.
Just as Ji Pu and others were acting step by step according to Hu Yange's plan, Zhou Bo led 10,000 people into the Hexi Corridor and marched along the Qilian Mountains towards Ganzhou City.
In the middle of winter, the Qilian Mountains were already wearing snow caps made of white snow. Zhou Bo and more than 10,000 tiger soldiers wore cotton-padded clothes with sheepskin layers and suede leather boots on their feet, braving the cold wind and quietly marching to Ganshan.
The city is marching on.
If it were the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty in the past, where would they have winter clothes with sheepskin layers to wear? Since Fusu opened the trade route between the Qin Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions, only the Jing Niu (a type of yak) and long-haired Han sheep from the Western Regions could
The continuous flow into Da Qin gave Qin a certain amount of cattle and sheep skins. Coupled with the cobblers recruited from the Yueshi when the land of Hexi was recovered, the Da Qin Ordnance Ordnance Institute was able to produce a certain amount of leather water.
Bags, suede boots and sheepskin laminated winter coats.
Zhou Bo was full of confidence in this trip to Hexi. This was the first time Fusu had given him the opportunity to lead troops alone. Although he was just looking for the mastermind behind the disappearance of the Daqin mission, Zhou Bo still attached great importance to this operation. The reason is unknown.
After all, this was his first time showing his face in front of Fusu. If he didn't achieve a perfect result, he would feel sorry for Fusu's instructions.
Walking along the land of Hexi, although it was freezing cold, the faces of the people in the land of Hexi were filled with happiness. Even the foreign merchants doing business in Hexi looked festive. All this made Zhou Bo
Feel incredible.
The land west of Hexi has always been a bitter, cold and desolate place in Zhou Bo's perception, but this trip to Hexi completely subverted Zhou Bo's perception. Whether it was the people who were full of confidence in life or the tall and magnificent cities, they all
It was impacting Zhou Bo's solidified cognition, traveling westward, and being shocked all the way, which was subtly changing Zhou Bo's cognition of Fusu, but when it came to exploring the Western Regions, Fusu's farsightedness and sagacity were beyond his comparison.
I remember that after Liu Bang returned to the Qin Dynasty, he, Xia Houying, Wang Ling and other generals were arranged by Fusu to study military affairs at the Qin Military Academy, while a group of advisers such as Cao Shen were sent to Hexi by Fusu.
Zhou Bo had been dissatisfied with Fusu's arrangement for a long time. In his opinion, letting Cao Shen and others come to Hexi to assist Shusun Tong was just another way of saying distribution.
Now after seeing the situation in Hexi, Zhou Bo realized that he was wrong. Any officials who participated in the expedition to Hexi would definitely have a good career in the future. According to what he saw, the bitter cold land would be
The management of Hexi has turned the Qin Dynasty into a prosperous and powerful commercial town. The contribution of these people can be imagined. Moreover, not long ago, Fusu took most of the civil and military officials on a tour of Hexi. Shusun Tong and his companions
The achievements of the officials who accompanied him in the Hexi region have been announced to the world. With such achievements, it is difficult not to be promoted!
In addition to Zhou Bo, those who were shocked were the 10,000 Huben soldiers. Along the way, they also sincerely burst out with their pride and confidence as Qin people. In their view, the future of this land west of Hexi is bright.
When these 10,000 soldiers rushed to the gate of Ganzhou City, they could no longer suppress their excitement. They saw a large city second only to Xianyang standing quietly on the land of Hexi, and streams of smoke rose from the city.
Get up. The man-made miracles complement the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the setting sun near the mountains coats Ganzhou City with a light golden color, giving Ganzhou City under the afterglow a sense of loneliness and grandeur, like a dream.
Until this moment, Zhou Bo felt a sense of pride as a Qin person from deep in his heart, and he also clearly realized what a wise choice his lord Liu Bang made to surrender to Qin.
A hero who dared to build such a huge city out of thin air in the land of Hexi, did Liu Bang still have a chance to win against him?
