"Ah? Go take a look." After saying that, Yang Qian threw the short knife behind him.
With a "swish" sound, the wooden dagger was inserted directly into the big tree behind him.
Lian Zhen's eyes widened and he was completely confused.
"Supernatural power~~~!"
Everyone understands, no need to say more, if you say too much, you will feel like you are showing off.
Following Lao Chen to the gate of Zhuangzi, he saw more than a dozen strange-looking carriages accompanied by hundreds of Xia troops on both sides.
I saw a general-like figure running towards Yang Gan, cupping his hands and saying with a smile, "General Yang, long time no see."
Yang Qian looked at it carefully and said in surprise, "One, a bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon?"
The general twitched his lips, General Yang was still the same as before, so two hundred and five.
"Xin Zhao, why are you here?" Yang Gan said with a smile.
"General Yang, this, isn't this a task assigned by the superiors? This is a matter of merit~~~!" Zhao Xin said with a smile.
Yang Qian then thought about it and guessed it was Wang Jian. He was not low-ranking and could command Xin Zhao. However, this person belonged to his cheap brother, and he didn't know if he came here to stab him.
At this time, some people came out of the carriage. They had very white skin, high nose bridges, pointed chins, curly hair, and were dressed in coarse woolen fabrics and sheepskins, and wore fur boots sewn with thick threads. They were full of exotic style.
Yang Gan frowned, but Lao Xia didn't say anything. These are white people. Why would white people appear near the Central Plains?
Strange, very strange, but Yang Qian, a geography idiot in his previous life, really couldn't figure it out.
"These are the caravans from the West?" Yang Gan asked.
"Yes, I have lived in Chaoxian for a while. Everyone sees them almost every day. After all, they are so strange in appearance, just like the first time I saw Krisna." Xin Zhao said with a smile.
"I think you are itchy, Xin Zhao, do you look down on my appearance?" A tall figure came from not far away.
Xin Zhao unconsciously took two steps back, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with an awkward smile, "It's nothing, how dare I look down on you, Krisna."
Zhao Xin doesn't dare to be crazy here in Yang Gan. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, and anyone who comes around Yang Gan can beat him up.
The last time I came here, I was just looking for trouble, but who knew that all I encountered were fucking steel plates, so I couldn't beat him. I was in tears when I talked about it too much. After I went back, I was jealous of the eldest son, and my life was really not good.
Yang Gan looked at the foreigners and nodded, and asked Lao Chen to take them to a place to rest, and then interrogate them properly when he was free.
Let Lao Chen prepare a sumptuous table of wine and food for Lian Zhen, and it will be treated as a reward.
"Long time no see, Xin Zhao. We must not get drunk today. Let's go for a walk. I'll treat you to a drink." Yang Qian grabbed Xin Zhao's hand and walked towards home.
Zhao Xin nodded, his whole body seemed to be pulled, and Yang Qian became stronger again.
"Hey, aren't these the Three Musketeers in the Grass?"
A few people had just arrived on the third floor, Zhang Yumeng said in surprise.
Zhao Xin touched his forehead and was speechless about the people here, but he couldn't help but feel more casual and less polite like Chaoxian.
After the food and wine were served, Yang Gan began to feast and exercise for more than an hour, but he was still hungry.
"How are you being treated at court?" Yang Qian asked casually.

After Xin Zhao took a sip of the kumiss, he grinned, "It still tastes so bad."
"Hey, don't think this stuff tastes bad. It's nutritious and good for your health."
Xin Zhao let out a long sigh, drank a glass of wine suddenly, and sighed, "General, you have done me harm. There is no tiger skin in the gift you mentioned. The eldest son was severely scolded by the king for this." Had a meal."
"I'm scolding my son, it's only natural. What are you doing to me? You are the king's son."
"General, don't talk nonsense. What do you think the eldest son did to me after being scolded? He beat me hard, kicked me out of the courtyard, and left me in the cold. Although I had an official position, I have since been in court. There’s no one left.”
Xin Zhao's eyes were quite downcast. He had finally climbed to this position with no one behind him. His promotion in the future would be slow or even stagnant.
Yang Gan glanced at him and sneered, "You can't blame me for this. You came to my place to make things difficult for me. How about we make it even?"
Zhao Xin had a wry smile on his face, picked up 10,000 glasses of wine and saluted Yang Qian, "Thanks to the general for the promotion, it's even."
Zhang Yumeng ate the food, looked at the two of them, and said to Zhao Xin, "You should thank Yang Qian. His enemies usually don't end well, but he takes good care of you. At least he didn't cause you any trouble." .”
Xin Zhao paused and said nothing more. He was already making quick calculations in his mind.
Zhang Yumeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, pulled the box and said to Yang Qian, "I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much. It's useless to miss me."
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Gan couldn't help but take out a tiger charm from his arms and threw it to Belika, and warned, "Watch Zhang Yumeng carefully and don't let her cause trouble."
The corner of Belika's mouth raised. Yang Qian really had a soft spot for Zhang Yumeng in his heart. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, she will not die."
There were guests here, so Zhang Yumeng didn't have much to say, so he pulled Belika and walked downstairs with a cold snort.
Yang Qian swept away all the food on the table, patted his belly and wiped his mouth, "Zhao Xin, you have no supporter in the temple. I'm afraid there is no hope for promotion as a military general from a humble family."
After taking a fancy to the pork ribs in his hand, Zhao Xin instantly felt unsatisfied. He really couldn't help but pick up the pot. "General Yang, what can you teach me?"
Looking at the tired and unhappy Zhao Xin, Yang Gan smiled and said, "You have no backer anyway, so why not help me?"
"You want to be my backer?"
Yang Gan shook his head, "Backer? Save it, I'm far away on the border. The three Xiongnu tribes have been destroyed, so I can't affect the temple."
"I mean, you are in Chaoxian. After all, you are a local, so you have some advantages. Help me find out the information. If there is any trend in the temple, report to me. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will help you make achievements."
Xin Zhao's eyes narrowed, "Do you want me to betray the eldest son?"
"You're such a traitor. I was beaten up and kicked out of their circle. This is not a betrayal at all. At most, it's an injustice to you and me." Yang Qian said with a smile on his face.
"General Yang, aren't you afraid that Master Jie did it on purpose?"
Yang Qian pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "He doesn't have such brains, and I'm not afraid to tell you. I know everything about Chaoxian."
"It's a pity that I can't predict what's going on in the temple, but you can."
"Brother, stop playing around. My official position does not allow me to go to court."
Xin Zhao looked depressed. If he wanted to go to court, he would have to find a bullshit backer.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Last time I had a friend come here to play, I introduced another friend. He is the general who is responsible for purchasing copper and iron under the Taiwei. Although he didn't say it clearly, I think this person's position is not low. You can contact him first."
"How's your relationship going?" Xin Zhao quickly asked.
"Hey, are you here to cheer up? As for the relationship, it's so-so, so it's okay. The main thing is that this person is nice, and things won't go wrong."
"What's this person's name?"
"Wang Jian."
Xin Zhao lowered his head and almost chewed the wine glass into pieces. He said in disbelief, "Really, is it really called Wang Jian?"
Yang Gan said strangely, "Nonsense, of course his name is Wang Jian. Is it possible that he has my last name? It's not a big problem for you to find him. Of course, things in the temple must be reported back in time. I want to know every move of everyone in the Xia Kingdom Temple." , especially Gate Valve.”
Xin Zhao didn't speak, his mind was running wildly. What was going on? Why did Wang Jian say he was a subordinate of the Taiwei when he was clearly a hussar general.
He has a much higher position than the Taiwei. Could it be that the king has some plans? It is better to agree first.
"Okay~~It's done!"
Yang Qian immediately brought a piece of paper, pen and ink, and wrote down the agreement between the two of them, "Come and sign."
Xin Zhao said in disbelief, "General, general, it doesn't have to be like this."
"The distance is too far, so I'm not sure about you. I never do things I'm not sure about. I have some leverage. At least I can use it as a bargaining chip in the future. How about that?"
Yang Qian said seductively, "Zhao Xin, if you take it first, you must give it first. If you gain something, you will lose something. Please think about it."
"No need to think about it. As long as you don't betray Xia Guo, what if I am your eyes and ears?" Zhao Xin quickly signed on the white paper and then stamped his seal.
Yang Gan frowned and felt relieved. This guy thought he was preparing to rebel?
Crazy, do you still need to rebel against your own identity? After putting the agreement away, Xin Zhao looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Yang Qian asked, "What's the matter with hesitation? Just tell me."
Zhao Xin hesitated and said, "Although I am not in the temple, I still have some eyes and ears in Chaoxian. When we set out, I heard that someone suggested to the Taiwei and the Prime Minister that the scourge of the Huns on the border has been eliminated, and military expenditures need to be reduced."
Yang Gan's face began to look ugly. Isn't this where the Xiongnu disaster was mentioned?
Why did the border army eat so well? Firstly, it was supported by the court's annual money and grain. Secondly, it was the wealth gained from exterminating the three tribes. Thirdly, it was part of the profits left by the army after trade.
Therefore, the 100,000 soldiers of the frontier army could eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine, and everyone got fat and strong.
Otherwise, how can you equip a large number of new armors? To equip them well, you must have a strong body to equip them. Otherwise, you will be out of breath under the weight of the armor before you can kill the enemy.
The imperial court's annual supply of grain and grass accounts for at least 50% to 60% of the border army's grain and grass. Once it is cut, won't it mean that they will have to cut back on food and clothing? I also want to pay wages to the soldiers.
The vassal states in the Central Plains are almost all treated similarly in terms of military treatment. Elite soldiers will receive salaries, and even some troops with strong combat effectiveness will be given fields and mansions.
But for most of the army and auxiliary troops, it would be good if they were well fed.
In the frontier army, except for the food, which is much better than that of the ordinary army, the salary and so on are also similar. After all, Yang Qian has not established the salary system of the frontier army yet.
