Shouchang County is a small county less than five miles away from the sweet spring water (Dang River), the lifeline of Dunhuang.
It may be said that it is a small county, but within the Guiyi Army, Shouchang County has abundant water and grass, fertile land, and artificial canals left over from the Han Dynasty. Therefore, although the land is small, it has a lot of products.
Corn, wheat, spinach, lettuce, celery, eggplant (eggplant) and other vegetables and beef and mutton production are huge, especially Shouchang mutton is plump and tender, accounting for 30% of Dunhuang's staple food and nearly 50% of vegetables and meat. , all rely on Shouchang County for supply.
Therefore, Shouchang County is crucial to Dunhuang. Shouchang is said to be Feng and Dunhuang is sufficient. Among the eight towns (counties) in the two states of the Guiyi Army, Shouchang is one of the few existing towns (armies). To curb, there is also the presence of the county magistrate.
To the east of Shouchang City is the Envoy Courtyard, where the Shouchang town army's envoys were stationed.
Luo Xianda, the commander of Shouchang Town Army, was a very tall and strong man. There was a very obvious depression on his left forehead. This was caused by the black iron used by the Uighurs in the battle of the short bridge with the Ganzhou Uighurs twenty years ago. The consequences of being hit by a hammer.
However, Luo Xianda was lucky. Under the protection of Douchi, although the hammer smashed a piece of his skull, it did not cause fatal injuries. Instead, it became his bragging rights over the years, and even saved him once. Life.
Because Luo Xianda's elder brother Luo Tongda was the prime minister during Zhang Chengfeng's period (in the old system of Jinshan Kingdom, he was approximately equal to the chief minister).
This not only means that Luo Tongda is Zhang Chengfeng's confidant, but also that the war with the Ganzhou Uighurs was advocated by Luo Tongda and Zhang Wenche, who was also the prime minister at the time.
Later, it was precisely because of the overconfidence of Luo Tongda and others that they launched a war with the Ganzhou Uighurs, which directly led to the disintegration of the Jinshan Kingdom in the Western Han Dynasty.
Therefore, in the post-war liquidation, Zhang Wenche was ordered to commit suicide, and Luo Tongda was also stripped of his military power. If Luo Xianda had not made a big fuss all over Dunhuang City against this depression, at least he would have been imprisoned and convicted.
"Is that what Cao Shishi's yellow-tongued child really said?" In the backyard, Luo Xianda asked anxiously, rubbing the hollow of his forehead. Whenever the weather changed, he would feel itchy and uncomfortable, and he would also be anxious. many.
"That's what I said. It's all because of the poor performance of the servant. Then Cao Shisi has been running around the servants these days. The servant thought that he was worried about the safety of Lady Cao Sanniang and was searching around. But he didn't expect that this little rat was actually trying to hide his secrets. Send someone to Hongze Township!" The disgraced Ma Yaozi said cautiously.
"I will marry his mother's Cao Shisi!" Luo Xianda cursed with fire in his eyes. He didn't feel that he was making too much noise at all, but felt that the Cao family was making a fuss out of a molehill.
There are just a few hundred tribesmen. There is so much vacant land in Hongze Township. What happened to the people in the resettlement areas?
"Your Majesty, Cao Shishi's mother-in-law is your seventh niece!" Ma Yaozi lowered his head and said in a dull tone.
"Seven his mother's niece, I have nothing to say to Luo Yingda's family!" It's okay if I don't say this, but when I mentioned this, Luo Xianda became even more angry. He raised his hand and gave Ma Yaozi a big dick.
Luo Yingda is Luo Xianda's cousin. The Shazhou Luo family is also a wealthy family in Dunhuang. There are many brothers in the family. Before the Battle of Benqiao, the patriarch of the Luo family was naturally Luo Xianda's brother Luo Tongda.
However, after the Cao family replaced Zhang, Luo Tongda followed him. Although he later returned to serve as the extremely important Jiedu Yamen and the guardian of the Yumen Army, his position as patriarch was lost.
Because his cousin Luo Yingda, who was from the same clan, took advantage of the fact that brothers Luo Tongda and Luo Xianda were losing power, and quickly defected to Cao Yijin.
Luo Yingda not only paid a lot of money to marry Cao Yijin's sister, but also married her niece to Cao Yijin's eldest son, Cao Yuande, as a concubine.
At present, Luo Yingda is the commander of all the Sima infantry at home and abroad. He is the second-highest military attache in the Guiyi Army after Jiedushi himself.
Luo Xianda became extremely angry when he thought of the kid who used to follow behind him and flatter his second brother, five or six of them, climbed on top of him.
But after being angry for a long time, he had no good solution, because now he was caught with a sore leg, and according to the laws of the rebel army, he secretly resettled his subordinates, and he was going to be dismissed from office and imprisoned.
At present, Cao Shishi did not immediately report to Jiedu Yamen to arrest his cousin, probably because of his brother Luo Tongda's sake.
Second, the Luo family has a large number of people in the Shouchang tribe. This time, many people within the Luo family benefited from the placement of Tuyuhun tribesmen.
Because Hongze Township is the territory of the Luo family, the amount of tax to be paid to Jiedu Yamen has already been fixed.
Then the taxes paid by these placed tribesmen are equivalent to going directly to the Luo family, not to the Jiedu Yamen. Even if Luo Yingda is the clan leader, he has to be protected on the surface.
That's why Cao Shishi threatened Zhang Zhao by bringing him to Shouchang, because he was Zhang Chengfeng's old confidant.
Under the current circumstances, as long as Zhang Chengfeng's son Zhang Zhao arrives in Shouchang, no matter how he arrives, as long as he arrives, it will arouse unlimited reverie, and the Cao family will have reason to punish him.
And because the excuse for the rectification changed from unauthorized placement of subordinates to evil intentions, the rest of the Luo family would soon cut off from him, and he, Luo Xianda, would be dead.
"The one who married his mother is forcing me to send those hundreds of people from Hongze Township to Dunhuang!
But I have already received benefits from the Murong family, so is Murong Guiying easy to mess with? I sent people like him from Tuyuhun to Dunhuang. How can the Murong family still hate me? "Luo Xianda walked faster and faster inside the house, becoming more and more anxious.
"Moreover, the land taxes of the hundreds of tribesmen have been divided. If the envoy wants to send them to Dunhuang, how can the princes of other houses agree?
Maybe you will have to pay them out of your own pocket! This transaction you made is not going to please both parties! "Ma Yaozi interrupted again at an inappropriate time.
Um! What he said is all true, but there is still time! Luo Xianda, who was already anxious, suddenly jumped up and raised his hand to give Ma Yaozi another big blow.
Ma Yaozi was so smart now that he jumped to the window as soon as he picked up onions on dry land, and then ducked directly out of the window.
"Your Majesty, I have to go find Jade Lady at night. You've made everyone famous. How can you meet people?"
"Fuck your mother, I'm almost dying of anxiety. You are still in the mood to have a private meeting with that naughty widow at night. I beat you twice and you still run away. I shouldn't have rescued you from the cow and horse pen in the first place!" Ma Yaozi dared to run away, and Luo Xianda scolded him even harder!
"Come in here!"
Ma Yaozi could only cover his face and wilt in. Not to mention a big dick, even if Luo Xianda wanted his life, he would have to give it to him, because his life, his abilities and his current official position were all Given by Luo Xianda.
"Don't go looking for that slutty girl tonight!" Luo Xianda said the word "slutty", but after looking at Ma Yaozi who was standing aside, he changed his words.
"Go to the army and find some familiar warriors who can manage them. Go directly to the west, intercept Zhang Erlangjun and Zhang Zhong, give them some horses, money and food, and tell them to get away as far as they want!"
"Then what if he doesn't get out?" Ma Yaozi put down his hand when he saw that he wouldn't be beaten.
"Don't get out! Hmph! If he doesn't get out of here, are you just for free?"
Luo Xianda's expression darkened completely, and the blood vessels in the depression on his forehead jumped. A look of guilt suddenly flashed across his face, and then quickly slipped away from the corner of his mouth.
