The army set off and marched towards Chang'an.
The leader was General Duan Zhixuan.
He still led his own troops, but more of them were a large number of prisoners.
There were 20,000 horses and horses when they came, but less than 10,000 were left intact when they returned.
There were 3,000 wounded soldiers lying on the oxcarts, and the rest could not go back.
The cruelty of war is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Behind the expansion of territory is the price of countless casualties.
Spring is here.
When we were in Lanzhou, it was not very obvious.
However, the further we headed towards Guanzhong, the more obvious it became.
As soon as we reached Longyou, we could already see the green grass.
The ground looked like spring.
A thin green carpet was laid out.
Tired of looking at the white snow and dead grass, Wang Zhi was very happy to see the green in front of him, and his bad mood became happy.
If he didn't hurt his legs, it would be so pleasant to run a few laps on the grass and do somersaults.
The army moved very slowly, not only because there were prisoners and wounded soldiers, but also because a large amount of materials had been captured, including a large number of cattle and sheep.
The sheep were gathered together, the cattle were saddled, and tied to a flatbed cart, and a simple cattle cart appeared.
Although the cattle on the grassland are dishonest and too wild, there are too many wounded soldiers and supplies.
It's just that I can't walk from time to time, and car rollover incidents happen from time to time.
"Dazhi, what are you looking at?"
Sitting in a bullock cart with Wang Zhi was Gao Shan.
Originally, Gao Shan was not injured much and was riding a horse to help maintain order.
However, when he was carrying supplies, he sprained his foot, so he sat down openly.
Entered the bullock cart.
In this regard, Wang Zhi was very suspicious that Gao Shan did it on purpose.
"That piece is saltpeter."
To be honest, Wang Zhi didn't know much about these minerals, and the best one to identify was coal.
"Well, there is still a lot of saltpeter in Longyou.
What, what do you think?"
Gao Shan asked with great interest.
It seems that Wang Zhi always has weird ideas in his head.
"Can we dig some out?"
Wang Zhi said a little excitedly that summer is coming soon.
In this place without air conditioning or fans, if you don't order ice yet, you will definitely go crazy.
If you don't, you will be heated to death.
"cut".
Gao Shan said contemptuously: "You kid, you are so funny.
Even coal and stone are better than saltpeter.
This saltpeter has limited uses.
Even if you take it to Chang'an City, you won't be able to sell it for much."
"Wang Zhi, you've been kicked in the head by a donkey," Zhao Bin said with a smile.
He had never seen La Nishi return home after traveling thousands of miles away.
"Wang Zhi, how about I share some of my reward with you?"
The guy next door, a guy who had been treated well by Wang Zhi, didn't dare to show his contempt, so he had to tactfully dissuade him.
"This saltpeter can't be sold for much money even in Chang'an.

It's a waste of time and effort, so it's better to buy something else."
Even Wang Xiaowei was not optimistic about Wang Zhi's stupid behavior.
Wang Zhi is content with himself, they are all brothers in life and death, and Wang Zhi has saved many people, and they have good relations with each other, and he will not be angry if he talks about it.
Besides, as long as Wang Zhi speaks, there are no less than a hundred people who can help load a car, which is no problem, even though these people feel great contempt in their hearts.
After getting the Shangguan's permission, Wang Zhi bought ten cartloads of saltpeter and followed the team.
Others laugh at me for being too crazy.
I laugh at others because they can’t see through it.
Do I have to tell you that this saltpeter is used to make ice?
Think about how pleasant it is to have a mouthful of cold ice cubes to eat on a hot summer day. thing.
In later generations, this may not matter, but in this era without electricity, air-conditioning fans, it is very important.
As everyone knows, if you want to use ice in the summer in wealthy families, or even in the palace, you have to use ice in the previous year.
In the winter, water was frozen into ice, and then a big cellar was dug and stored.
Wang Zhi's stupid move successfully became a topic of conversation among the team after dinner.
The closer he got to Guanzhong, the more Wang Zhi couldn't calm down.
After all, he felt homesick.
Not only Wang Zhi was homesick, but everyone was homesick as well, staring blankly at the east.
The team marched for a month, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an City in mid-May.
After half a day of repairs, distribution of supplies, and other matters, after more than half a day, following an order, the soldiers dispersed and returned to their homes with their respective trophies.
As for the rewards of the battle, they were still It will take time, after all, the war is not over yet.
Wangzhi has a lot of things, because it also includes Ada's share.
Wang Zhi replaced the sheep with an ox cart, and also put some trophies on it.
Gao Shan felt very distressed, because if he changed like this, he would be at a bit of a disadvantage.
It can barely be regarded as a huge one.
Wang Zhi had a total of eleven ox carts, ten of which were pulling saltpeter, and one was a special cart for himself and A Da.
Gao Shan came back with only one horse and one cow, and the rest was converted into copper coins, which was very heavy.
Seeing the tall Princess's Mansion from a distance, Wang Zhi became more and more anxious.
The Princess's Mansion was close, how could his own home be far away?
It was only separated by a small river.
After being away from home for more than half a year, Wang Zhi found that he missed this simple and warm home very much.
"Brother, are we almost home?"
Ah Da grinned.
It felt good to be home.
Ah Da's injuries were relatively serious, so now he was just getting better and out of danger.
While on the road, he had a high fever that didn't go away, but it frightened Wang Zhi.
"Well, we'll be home soon, aren't you happy?"
Wang Zhi's face was filled with a bright smile, and Ah Da was so moved that he grinned.
As for Gaoshan, he had long thought that the ox cart was too slow, so he galloped home.
Let's go.
Anyway, once we get here, our lives will not be in danger.
It's been more than half a year, and everything is still the same.
If there is a change, there is one thing, that is, a stone bridge has been built between the fiefdom of the Princess Mansion and the village where Wang Zhi is located, although it is small enough to only accommodate one person.
An ox cart passed, but it was also much more convenient.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
As early as when Wang Zhi just entered the village, Wang Li ran towards his home yelling.
Wang Qiang, Wang Li, Da Ya and Xiao Ya all ran out.

Wang Zhi expertly used a homemade crutch and got off the bullock cart.
He stood upright as if he was being inspected.
"Okay, okay, my son has grown up and is a man."
Wang Qiang hugged Wang Zhi tightly.
Although he was smiling, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Dazhi, does your leg hurt?
Where else is it hurt?"
Mrs.
Wang Li cried like a tearful person.
After seeing Wang Zhi hurt a leg, her tears never stopped, causing Da Ya and Xiao Ya to follow her. cry.
Wang Li was a little better, but his fists were clenched and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Mom, I'm fine.
It's just broken.
It's nothing serious.
It will be fine in more than a month.
I guarantee that I will still be alive and kicking by then.
Mom, please stop crying."
Wang Zhi was in a hurry, not knowing what to say, until Ah Da groaned
