Chapter 45: The third part of the strange circle "Things without eyes should be damned."
Before Chen Liang could retort, Centurion Haisen, who was temporarily transferred to serve as the leader of the bodyguard, had already raised his whip and whipped him head and face.
"Don't fight, don't fight.
I don't blame him, I really don't blame him."
Chen Liang, who joined the army, saw this and quickly stopped him.
However, it was better that he didn't speak.
As soon as he spoke, the other servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion became more and more intolerable.
They all rushed forward, raised their riding whips, and whipped the unfortunate auxiliary soldiers all over their heads and faces.
While pumping, he lectured loudly: "You don't have eyes, Chen Canjun, you don't have to blame me.
But I have to deal with you.
If you dare to roar at Chen Canjun, you are spitting on my Prime Minister.
I won't beat you today."
I cripple you, I am sorry for the kindness of my Prime Minister."
They were scolding the Muyang Auxiliary Army, but Chen Liang, who joined the army, acted as if he had been scolded himself, and persuaded him in disgrace, "Everyone, brothers, listen, listen to what I have to say before the Prime Minister came, once, once."
His words were swallowed up in the arrogant shouts, "Beat him, beat him to death, beat him to death without eyes."
"Hit, hit hard."
"Oh, be careful.
You slapped me on the head."
Even though the housekeeper had repeatedly told him to restrain himself before leaving, even though the person he was protecting was a Han staff member who did not have a high status in the prime minister's palace.
However, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion were determined not to swallow their anger any longer.
Soon, they pulled the shepherd's auxiliary soldiers off their horses and beat him until they were rolling on the ground.
It is true that they are also slaves of others, but their master is the Prime Minister Hama.
If we had not been ordered not to show off along the way before leaving, even the thousands or hundreds of households resident in those places would have taken the initiative to go out ten miles to meet them, and before leaving, they would have given a generous enough Cheng Yi as a token of appreciation.
Respect for the Prime Minister.
And this mere shepherd slave at his feet actually dared to speak loudly to everyone.
He was not seeking death, but what was he doing?
"Woooooo, wooooooo, wooooooo" The other shepherd auxiliary soldiers around suddenly saw their companions being knocked off their horses by a group of strangers.
They galloped over to rescue them and blew their horns with all their strength.
"Blow your bird feathers, you are noisy!"
The servants cursed and rushed forward to fight with each other.
In the blink of an eye, the entire west bank of the Weishui River became lively, and the continuous sound of horns resounded through the sky.
Soon, behind the sound of the horn, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble, Rumble," which made the ground beneath our feet tremble slightly.
"Baa, baa, baa baa!"
The sheep that were grazing with their heads down were frightened and fled like an avalanche.
The dogs responsible for guarding the sheep were barking and running to catch up, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, woof woof woof."
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, woof woof woof" "Baa, baa, baa baa", "Beat him, beat him to death for having no eyes.
Mother!"
In an instant, the barking of dogs and the shouts of people were mixed together, making a loud sound.
A slice.
Chen Liang, who joined the army, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in circles, not knowing how to end it.
At this moment, not far away, three trumpets suddenly sounded.
"Boom, boom, boom", one sound is closer than the other, and each sound is louder than the other.
Immediately afterwards, more than 3,000 iron cavalry emerged from behind a cluster of woods that was not very broad.
Running at the front was a pink war horse, which was extremely tall and majestic.
On the horse's back sat a general with a silver helmet, his sword pointed at the tip of Chen Liang's nose, "Hey, where did this madman come from?"

, How dare you act wild in front of me?"
"Quickly dismount and tie up, my commander-in-chief Rao Er will not die."
As if they had practiced it countless times in advance, the soldiers behind the silver-armored general shouted in unison at the top of their lungs.
"General Xuexue, General Xuexue, don't get me wrong, it's me, Prime Minister Hama sent me here."
Chen Liang, who joined the army, saw the formation and knew that the rightful master he was looking for had arrived.
He hurriedly jumped off his mount and raised the token given by Hama high above his head, "Little man Chen Liang, pay your respects to General Xuexue."
"The villain Haisen, Aludin, and Ji Lahu" all the servants did not dare to continue to cause trouble when they saw the large army they had attracted.
They gave up their respective targets of abuse, jumped off their mounts, and fell to their knees.
"Yeah."
The sound of the horse's hooves was so loud that Xuexue couldn't hear what was being said on the other side.
But judging from the actions of Chen Liang and others, the person coming may not be the enemy.
As a result, he became even more energetic, driving the pink sweat-blooded horse and sprinting hundreds of steps.
Kankan had already stepped on the top of Chen Liang's head, and then he suddenly pulled the reins of his mount and said, "Hey!"
"Hey!"
Behind him, there were also arrogant orders.
More than two hundred people riding maroon horses tightened their reins and formed a straight horizontal line in the emerald green wilderness.
No need to look further, Chen Liang was so impressed by the behavior of these two hundred soldiers.
"Boom, boom, boom" he banged his head three times on the grass, and then raised the token high above his head again.
"The villain Chen Liang joined the army from the prime minister's office.
Today, on the order of the prime minister, he came to visit the general."
"You are."
Xue Xue was stunned for a moment, her gaze quickly downwards along the token, "Haha, I remembered, you are the eldest brother's pen Qi Qi.
Who dares to hit me on the head?
It turns out to be eldest brother's minions.
This is such a big deal, I’ve suffered a loss and there’s no room for me to explain it.”
Note 1 "This villain is incompetent, please punish General Xuexue."
Centurion Heisen was afraid that he would be left behind, so he quickly climbed a few steps forward and apologized side by side with Chen Liang.
"You, the red-bearded brother actually sent you here."
Xuexue's eyes quickly swept across his face, and she was slightly startled again.
In my memory, this soldier leader from the far west was so trusted by his brother that he would always follow him closely whenever he went out.
This time, in order to protect a little scribe, he was actually sent here.
"It's a villain, it's a villain."
Haisen, the captain of the personal army, did not expect that Xuexue could still remember him, and continued to crawl forward happily, "What an honor, villain, to be able to see you, the general, again.
Villain "at home" "Okay, stop flattering."
Xuexue has always been surrounded by people who are good at flattery, so how could she listen to the rough flattery of a "barbarian".
He frowned and interrupted with a whip.
"He is a villain, and a villain is not a flatterer.
A villain is just happy, happy.
Hehe, hehe."
Haisen, the captain of the soldiers, knelt straight and smiled with a smile on his face.
"Get up, you two," Xuexue waved her riding crop gently and frowned.
Immediately, he ordered a man behind him who was wearing a long brocade robe, "Baoyin, if you go and see if those herder slaves have been beaten to death, tell them to get up and gather the sheep.
They are a bunch of trash."
Snacks will embarrass me."
"Follow the order."

The captain, who looked about the same age as Xuexue, responded loudly.
Then he turned around and ordered a few of his close associates.
He then mobilized his mounts and galloped towards the auxiliary soldiers who had been beaten off their horses by the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion. go.
"Villain, villain didn't know they were his slaves before.
Villain" Chen Liang, who joined the army, saw this and had to give up and apologize.
However, Xuexue waved the riding crop again and interrupted nonchalantly: "Just hit him.
You can buy a nest of idiots like this from beyond the Great Wall for a small amount of money.
There is no need to take it too seriously."
"Yes, thank you General for your generosity."
Upon hearing this, Chen Liang felt relieved, raised his hands, and whispered his thanks again.
"You're such a long-winded person."
Xuexue didn't have the time to go through all the red tape with him, so she frowned and scolded him in a low voice.
"Farewell, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, here's the letter, take it out and show it to me quickly."
"General, this is a message."
Chen Liang trembled for no reason, looked around, and reminded him very vigilantly.
"Brother, the message brother, really has nothing to do.
He made such a fuss just to send a message."
Xuexue frowned slightly after hearing this, and complained in a low voice.
"General Xuexue" saw that the other party reacted so stupidly, Chen Liang couldn't help but remind him in a low voice, "The Prime Minister means that his words can only be conveyed to you alone."
"It's up to you, a Han Chinese, to write Qi Qi Qi."
Xuexue lowered her head and glanced at him, frowning even more tightly.
"Who knows if what you transferred was his original intention?"
This question makes perfect sense.
For a moment, Chen Liang was speechless.
The oral message can indeed ensure that the handle will not fall into the hands of the fourth person.
If the messenger is not trusted by both parties, how can he ensure the authenticity of the oral message?
Just as he was burning with anxiety, he saw Xuexue patting the silver helmet on her head that was inlaid with various icy emeralds.
She laughed and said, "Haha, I'm really stupid.
Brother, why did he send Hai?
Sen protects you, doesn’t he just want to tell me that you are as trustworthy as Heisen?
Get on your horse, get on your horse.
Come back to the barracks with me, and let’s talk slowly behind closed doors.”
"I humble my duty and obey my orders" Chen Liang, who joined the army, finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in salute.
Then he jumped onto his mount.
Surrounded by two hundred soldiers under Xuexue's command, they relaxed towards the end of the wilderness.
Along the way, there were still very few people.
All you can see are large pastures.
In some places, thousands of sheep are grazing, while in other places, they are specially set aside to grow grass.
Teams of ragged auxiliary soldiers or herdsmen wielded sickles to cut down knee-high grass, then skillfully cut it into rolls as high as a person and piled them in the open air to wait to dry.
Looking from a distance, the neat rows of grass rolls are like pavilions and pavilions in the blue sea, appearing and disappearing with the ups and downs of the grass waves, which is spectacular.
"How about it?
I've managed this place well."
Xuexue is less than thirty, but she still calls herself "I."
"I dare say that even the Imperial Manor next to Dadu is not as well managed as I am."
"This" Chen Liang, who joined the army, could not understand that the rows of straw bales had any other advanced uses besides raising sheep.

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and responded.
"General, forgive me.
I am a Han Chinese in this humble position and have no knowledge of animal husbandry.
But the general must have spent a lot of effort to raise so many sheep on the battlefield."
"Of course, these sheep are all high-quality breeds that I asked someone to buy from Liaodong."
Xuexue didn't know how to be modest at all, and immediately raised her head high.
"The original sheep in this place did not produce wool at all.
But the Liaodong sheep can be sheared twice a year.
It is said that there is a kind of fine-wool sheep over there in Dashiren, which is specially born for the production of wool.
It can be sheared four times a year, which adds up to It weighs twelve or three kilograms.
I have already placed an order with the maritime merchants and asked them to buy them for a large sum of money.
After the breeding sheep are brought back and raised for a few years, I will let Yidu go to this area of Weizhou and turn them into pastures. ” "General Ranch, do you raise so many sheep just for shearing?"
Chen Liang, who joined the army, was confused and couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Of course, don't you know how high the price of wool is now?"
Xuexue straightened her waist suddenly and looked at Chen Liang like a country bumpkin and asked.
"This" Chen Liang is not a nerd, but as the prime minister's pen Qiqi, he usually doesn't have time to pay attention to the specific price of wool.
He looked at Xuexue blankly, not knowing how to answer.
"Oh, I forgot.
What you Han people value is that scholars have a noble life and don't worry about lowly careers."
Xuexue did not embarrass him.
She quickly shook her silver helmet studded with ice and said with a smile.
"It's my fault, it's my fault.
Hey, to tell you the truth, raising sheep is more profitable than farming.
Look at the group of soldiers behind me.
Each one has a full plate armor.
Look behind them again.
Those brothers can at least protect their front half with iron armor.
You can’t see such wasteful attire anywhere else.”
"General Qi, even the Imperial Guards will not dress up like this, so neatly."
Chen Liang cupped his hands and told the truth.
In the past two years, the imperial court has been very economical in spending, and has rarely purchased any new weapons for the imperial army in the capital city.
As for the full-body plate armor and half-body breastplate produced in Huaiyang, because of the high price, they would only be purchased by the generals themselves.
The imperial court would definitely not be unable to spend such a large amount of money, and it would be a high price once purchased.
Thousands of sets.
"These are all obtained by me and the generals in the army who led the auxiliary troops to cultivate wasteland and herd cattle."
Xuexue is a standard second-generation ancestor.
She has long regarded Chen Liang as one of her own, so she did not hide it from him and showed off proudly.
"In the place where the war just happened, all the people who could move have long since disappeared.
They are expected to dig in the soil for food.
How can they afford to support the brothers under my command?
So it is better to just fence the land and raise sheep.
Then.
Whether sold to traders from Dadu or Huaiyang, the prices are very good.”
"This" Chen Liang, who joined the army, couldn't help but feel excited when he heard that he had joined the army and had several cold wars in succession.
No wonder after passing Yidu, we saw fewer and fewer villages along the way, and the people became sparse and sparse.

It turns out that Xuexue and others are determined to turn this entire area into pasture.
And the so-called people have fled, I'm afraid it's just an excuse.
As long as the Mongolian soldiers gallop back and forth in front of other people's homes with their war horses, who would dare to stay and farm?
"You are near Dadu, and you have never seen such a big pasture."
Seeing Chen Liang join the army, his eyes widened in shock at the spectacular sight in front of him, and Xuexue became more and more proud.
"To tell you the truth, not only am I raising sheep, but from Zhending Mansion to the south, wherever there is water, there is no idle land.
Otherwise, you would think that so many looms on both sides of the Sanggan River are used for Are you spinning cotton?
These days, spinning yarn and weaving cloth, how can you make money faster than spinning wool and weaving materials?
You are here early, and you will wait until spring next year. , I can at least send people to encircle another 500,000 acres of grassland.
If I can buy enough fine-wool sheep, in less than five years, all the soldiers under my command will be able to wear breastplates. , I would like to see if the remnants of Tuoduo’s subordinates dare to bite the tongue of our brother in front of the emperor again."
