This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 338

"Is it Lieutenant Cao?"

Just as Cao Su was about to explode, there was a soft cry from the Shendu caravan.

On the carriage of the caravan, a veiled woman stepped off step by step.

The eyes are charming, and there is a sense of familiarity between the brows.

"you are?"

Cao Su was slightly taken aback, not remembering where the other party came from.

"The slave family is a woman from the Chen family in Dengcheng"

The girl took the initiative to explain her identity, and Cao Su suddenly realized.

Dengcheng is not close, at least thousands of miles away from here.

In the past, Cao Su occupied Dengcheng and had a far-reaching influence on the side of Dengcheng.

This girl is just an ordinary woman in the Chen family, one of the four major families in Dengcheng. It is normal for Cao Su to glance over and not remember.

But Cao Su is a top martial artist, and his memory is still good, so even if it's just a one-sided relationship, he still feels quite familiar.

So there is no doubt about him, nodding and showing a smile.

"It turned out to be an old friend who ascended the city. What a coincidence."

Hearing what Cao Su said, those Xizhou businessmen suddenly felt cold.

On the other side, it is obvious that collusion between officials and businessmen will begin.

One by one shrank back, not daring to speak loudly anymore.

The opposite situation is the Shendu caravan. The caravan never expected that there would be someone who knew the generals who guarded the gate. The generals who guarded the gate of Qianyuan were all generals with real power. Thinking that a woman with a partial house who has not been treated very well can be in such a situation.

When the girl from the Chen family saw Cao Su "affirming the relationship" face to face, she was excited to make blessings again and again.

But Cao Su turned his head to look at the people of the two teams. Seeing this, everyone held their breath, waiting for Cao Su's impartial treatment.

"Entry and exit are all decided by my Xiguan garrison, not the rules you have argued about."

"Since I'm on duty today, you have to come and listen to my words, and no one should disobey them, otherwise, please ask where you come from and where you're going. Xiguan doesn't welcome you."

Cao Su spoke loudly, there was not much bias in his words.

This caused completely different changes in the two teams that were still ecstatic just now and like frost beating eggplants.

Cao Su stood in the middle of the two caravans, holding a knife with one hand, breathing heavily.

No one dared to interrupt Cao Su's speech at this time.

"I don't care how many people you have or how many goods you have to enter and exit the customs. First of all, this customs is not free of charge. Every time you delay here, you have to pay us according to the taxation of the unit."

Cao Su asked the two caravans for compensation when he came up, which stunned the people of the two caravans.

How is this different from the guard generals they encountered before?
"We have tens of thousands of people from all over Xiguan here waiting for you to quarrel, and it is reasonable to give you some compensation, right?"

"You have delayed the time of so many caravans entering and leaving the pass, so you can make up for it a little bit, isn't it too much?"

Cao Su looked at the two caravans coldly, wanting to kill them all at once.

After the leader of the caravan heard this, he immediately felt a pain in the flesh.

Originally, a lot of taxes and fees were paid for the entry and exit of the customs, but now they have to pay more, which is unbearable.

"how?"

Cao Su's eyes turned cold, it didn't seem like he was joking.

The two caravan leaders quickly apologized to Cao Su and said, "My lord, forgive me, my lord, forgive me."

"I'll leave here, so as not to hinder everyone from entering and leaving the city."

Cao Su snorted coldly: "Do you really think that Xiguan is a place where you can come and go whenever you want?"

"I don't care who goes in and who goes out first, I will limit you to a stick of incense time, if you still stay at the pass, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He walked away and handed over the problem to the two caravans.

The leaders of the two caravans panicked and hurriedly turned around to organize the caravans and prepared to leave.

Cao Su walked up to the girl from the Chen family, and said with a broad smile, "Maybe I haven't seen Mr. Chen for a long time. Although the girl is married, she can still go home to see her often."

Cao Su had a seizure just now, which shocked the leaders of the two caravans so that they could not speak.

Now she was full of laughter again, the girl from the Chen family hurriedly made blessings, her expression was very reserved, she didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Soon, the two caravans negotiated a way.

One party passes a cart of goods first, and enters and exits the customs alternately.

In this way, there is no question of who comes first.

Soon, the two blocked caravans at the gate began to circulate, and people came and went at the gate, and calm was restored.

Cao Su glared at the gatekeeper.

The city gate order looked at Cao Su with great admiration, and in what he thought was Cao Su's "encouraging eyes", he puffed up his chest and began to check more strictly the caravans and people entering and leaving the gate.

Cao Su walked up the tower, and Wu Ming was waiting for him on the tower.

"My lord, a letter from Master Wei."

Wu Ming is the think tank next to Cao Su, the only military adviser, and was responsible for external liaison and other matters in the past.

In his hand he held a sealed letter.

After Cao Su took the letter, he read it carefully.

It has been a long time since Wei Kai wrote to him, since Cao Su entered Shendu, the two consciously reduced their communication.

However, Wei Kai, as the most important staff member of General You, knew all the major affairs in the court like the palm of his hand.

Wei Kai knew very well that Cao Su entered the Forbidden Army from the Gongwei Division and led the troops to garrison Xiguan.

He wrote in the letter that the Arch Guard Department is an institution directly under the emperor and has always been run independently. However, in the past few years, some deviations have occurred in the functions of the Arch Guard Department. Walking closer, there are some governors who have contacts with the inner courtiers.

Cao Su read the whole letter, and it was all about the affairs of the Gongwei Division.

He pondered silently, trying to guess who the appeasement envoys Wei Kai mentioned were.

At the end of the letter, Wei Kai reminded Cao Su to be prepared.

What are you ready for?
Cao Su was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his hand to slap, his inner strength rolled, and the whole letter was patted into powder.

With the cool wind blowing from Xiguan, it turned into nothingness.

Cao Su didn't know many governors, and the one who had more contact with him was Tang Jiu, deputy governor of Jing Yaosi.

Gu Zhenxiao, the appeasement envoy of Jing Yaosi, had also come into contact with him before.

After reading the letter, he thought about it silently, guessing where these two people came from.

The wind on the city wall of Xiguan was very strong.

Cao Su blew the wind for a while, and looked west along the city wall.

In the deserted area, the yellow wind swept across the land, and the merchants and people traveling from south to north walked through the desolate ancient road outside Xiguan.

Looking far away, you can even see the endless yellow sand in the north.

Cao Su knew that this was not a real yellow sandy land.

The yellow sand here can only be regarded as a small sign of leaving Xiguan, and you can still see trees and running water.

When we go further west to the land of Anzhou and Liangzhou, the land there is desolate and barren, swept by wind and sand all the year round, without the grace and delicacy of the south of the Yangtze River.

"My lord, the weather in the northwest is like this. There may be a gust of wind at any time, but the yellow sand wind cannot blow through Xiguan, and it is blocked by the towering Xiguan Mountains here."

Wu Ming stood beside Cao Su, showing off his general knowledge.

It was indeed the first time Cao Su came to Xiguan, but how could he not understand geography?Isn't this a typical continental climate?

Cold in winter and hot in summer, with little precipitation throughout the year, the climate is arid.

"I heard that the Qiang people brought [-] cavalry. If these [-] cavalry charge over, I don't know if Xiguan will be able to stop them."

Wu Ming sighed, completely different from the militant mood of Zhang Ke and others.

Cao Su glanced at him and said calmly, "The Qiang people would not be so stupid as to insist on rushing to Xiguan."

"The essence of these nomads going south is just to snatch food for the winter. Outside the West Pass, they will definitely encounter crazy raids, but above the West Pass, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are stationed, so it is of little significance to rush over."

Cao Su thought to himself that Xiguan would be useless to the opponent's [-] cavalry. Unless it was disintegrated from the inside, Xiguan would not be broken.

"Hey, I don't know how many people in Xizhou will survive the war this winter."

Wu Ming sighed, with a look of unbearable expression on his face.

From the Wanping Rebellion to the current Qiang rebellion, the world of Qianyuan was riddled with holes.

What Wu Ming lamented was the suffering of Xizhou, but also a kind of indignation at the desolation of the world.

Cao Su gave a suggestion: "Wu Xiucai, shouldn't you write a poem to commemorate it now?"
