Yanmen Pass exists in name only. The Yanmen Pass destroyed by Xiliang people is dilapidated. At present, it is wishful thinking to rebuild it. In the meantime, the crossbar was pulled up, and barracks were built in the pass, which is considered a checkpoint.

Twenty miles away from Yanmen Pass, the trading ground has been basically completed, and many people have come here. At least there is no need to worry about having a place to eat here.

At this time, on the open space outside the trading field, a temporary enclosure has been built. This was built by people from Xiliang. Naturally, there are quite a few, reaching 400 people, and now they are all settled in the trade field, and it is also very lively here.

It is of course a difficult journey from Xiliang across the Jingulan Desert to the Yanmen Pass Trade Field. After the Xiliang people who followed arrived, they were temporarily relieved and took a rest in the trade field.

Gusa Heiyun didn't take his horse directly to Shuoquan. He didn't care whether he could enter or not, and he didn't plan to enter.

He has more than 3000 war horses in his hand, even in Xiliang, that is not a small number, and he is very clear that because of these thousands of war horses, there are differences within Xiliang.

Xiliang is now considered to be divided into three parts of the world, Maha Zang, Mahara, and Gusa Princess are separated respectively. Maha Zang controls the central area of ​​Xiliang, while Gusa Princess controls the northern and northeast areas of Xiliang. Hara, with the Zhula tribe as the main force, controls the southwest, and the concubine Gusa and Mahara have formed allies, forming a two-sided attack on Maha Zang.

Maha Zang doesn't have an absolute advantage now, and Princess Gusa is really a tough opponent. The Xiliang people fight each other, and the fight is inextricable.

In the central area controlled by Maha Zang, because the salt road was cut off, there was a terrible salt shortage. The Qingtan, Nashi and other tribes who originally supported Maha Zang had already complained, and they were directly controlled by Maha Zang. The Maha tribe also panicked because of the salt shortage.

Everyone knows that if the salt shortage is not resolved, it will be difficult to fight this battle. The conditions brought back by Gusa Heiyun have aroused fierce debate in the Sun Palace. It was a last resort, and Chu Huan's proposal to exchange a horse for forty catties of salt made Mahazang and some Xiliang officials even more angry.

One group of people proposed that they would rather have a conversation with Mahara and Princess Gusa than exchange war horses with the Central Plains for salt. No matter how harsh the conditions are, there is no choice but to make an exception to trade.

In the end, the latter's opinion had the absolute upper hand. After several debates, four thousand war horses were finally brought out in exchange for salt. Four thousand war horses were enough to exchange for a lot of salt. After the salt arrived, they could continue Support the next battle.

It was only then that Gusa Heiyun shouldered the heavy responsibility and brought his war horse to the trade field.

Of course he will not enter the customs easily. The Xiliang people and the Central Plains people originally hated each other and did not trust each other. Even Chu Huan and Gusa Heiyun were careful.

Who knows if these thousands of war horses will be traded after they enter the customs. At that time, Chu Huan will occupy the horses, but will not supply salt, and Gusa Heiyun will not be able to cry even if he wants to.

So after he arrived at the trading ground with the team, he stayed here without moving forward. He sent two eloquent subordinates to Shuoquan in disguise to meet Chu Huan, and they wanted to bring salt. Trade field transactions.

After sending the liaison person, Gusa Heiyun waited day and night, really looking forward to seeing through, only hoping that Chu Huan's team would arrive sooner, and Xiliang was waiting for the salt to be put into the pot. After the transaction, he had to cross the Jingulan Desert and return to Xiliang. There was a period of delay in the middle, and the sooner the transaction was made, the sooner they could return to Xiliang to solve the predicament encountered by Xiliang.

Waiting left and right, Gusa Heiyun looked through the autumn water, did not see the team sent by Chu Huan, but saw the soldiers of the Northwest Army wandering around the enclosure from time to time, watching the eyes of those soldiers staring at the Xiliang horses, Gusa Heiyun was uneasy. He knew that in Yanmen Pass, there were tens of thousands of Northwest Army guarding. The Northwest Army and the Xiliang Army had a deep hatred. There must be no trouble with this war horse.

Just when Gusa Heiyun was about to go blind, he finally saw a long convoy heading towards the trading field, carrying the "Chu" flag, Gusa Heiyun let out a sigh of relief, and hurried to meet it.

The trading team sent by Chu Huan was led by Du Fugong himself. The two sides greeted each other in a friendly atmosphere. Afterwards, Gusa Heiyun took Du Fugong to the paddock and counted the number of horses. There were a total of 470 horses that came to be traded. Gusa Heiyun knew that one extra horse would add forty catties of salt, so every horse was included in the account.

The amount of salt they brought is also huge. According to the number of 28 horses, Xiliang is still short of [-] horses. However, under the sincere request of Gusa Heiyun, in line with mutual benefit, The trade will continue, so the remaining salt was given to Xiliang as a topping.

The transaction went very smoothly, and Gusa Heiyun returned anxiously. After a day of trading, Gusa Heiyun was afraid of staying here and leading the team to say goodbye. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked Mr. Du Fu to say hello to Chu Huan, and said , if there is not enough salt there, the next time you come to trade, you will bring the horse team over, and you will also send people to enter the customs to notify you.

To bid farewell to the black clouds of Gusa, Du Fugong ordered the cavalry to be organized. This time, Du Fugong also brought out 500 people, and many of them were experts in domesticating horses. The [-] horses were well-managed. After a day's rest at the trading ground, he drove the horse team to the pass.

When the horse team arrived at Yanmen Pass, Du Fugong saw that there were several times more Northwest Army soldiers guarding the pass than when they came out, and he knew that the ones who should come still came.

The guard of the pass was Ding Quan, deputy general of Tian'anbao who was close to the Yanmen Pass. He led his men out, and his eyes widened when he saw the thousands of fat and long-legged Xiliang war horses.

"This is the horse from Xiguan. We are going back to Xiguan now. Please allow us to enter for your convenience." Du Fugong sat on the horse and smiled and said to Ding Quan.

Ding Quan restrained his expression, and said lightly: "These are all Xiliang horses?"

"Not bad!"

"Then do you know that Xiliang is an enemy country, and it's against the rules to trade horses with them?"

Du Fugong smiled and said: "Didn't General Gan tell you about this? General Gan and the governor of Chu have already discussed that the transaction with Xiliang is beneficial to our Great Qin, otherwise we will not build a trade field outside the pass. The Northwest Army sent troops to protect it." Of course, the trading field is not ignorant of the role of the trading field."

"Other things are easy to talk about, but horses can't." Ding Quan obviously knew that if he spoke the truth, he would definitely not be Du Fugong's opponent. After receiving the general's order, I will send the horses to you."

Du Fu shook his head and said with a smile: "Governor Chu has issued an order that a lot of the war horses here must be brought back to Shuoquan. If there is one missing, I will use my men to put it on top."

Ding Quan sneered and said, "I can't control the head or not. I'm in charge of Yanmen Pass. I said you can't bring horses in, but you can't...!"

"Soldiers love horses, I understand this truth." Du Fugong still smiled slightly: "But you can't detain any of these horses. If you dare to detain a horse, I'm afraid that General Gan will be the first to chop it off." Your head is yours, I wonder if you believe it or not?"

Ding Quan sneered and said: "You should be a big scare. The responsibility is, come here, pass the order. None of these horses can enter the customs, and all of them will be detained...!"

Du Fugong didn't say much, and ordered all his followers to rest where they were, and then he said to Ding Quan: "You can go to find General Gan now and ask General Gan what he wants, and if we have these horses, we will stay here and wait for you. "

Ding Quan frowned, hesitated for a while, and didn't continue to pester, turned his horse's head and patted his horse into the pass.

After entering the pass, he went straight back to the big tent of Tiananbao, but Marquis Gan had already been waiting here. When he saw Ding Quan approaching, he asked, "How is the matter?"

"General, according to what they mean, they don't want to hand over the horse at all." Ding Quan cupped his hands and said, "Shall we take it by force?"

Ganhou said indifferently: "Take it down?"

"General, haven't we discussed it before, we are short of horses now, these Xiliang war horses are treasures that are hard to find, with these war horses, our strength will be greatly improved." Ding Quan said: "We really want to buckle Come down, there is nothing you can do to measure them.”

Marquis Gan smiled coldly, pondered for a while, and finally said: "The switch allows them to enter."

Ding Quan was stunned, and then said anxiously: "General, during the military meeting, everyone said that these horses should be detained. Let's... let them enter the customs like this?"

"I know what the brothers are thinking." Marquis Gan stood up, "But these horses cannot be kept."

"Why can't you stay?"

"Because Yujiao is in Chu Huan's hands." Marquis Gan said with a cold face, "Yujiao is in Hezhou City now, in Chu Huan's hands. We tied his horse. Do you think Chu Huan will let Yujiao go?"

Ding Quan was startled, then clenched his fists, and said with a sneer, "General, even if he buckled his horse, would Chu Huan really dare to do anything to Yujiao? Be an enemy of our Northwest Army, unless Chu Huan doesn't want to live anymore."

"You mean to bet on Chu Huan's courage with my sister's safety?" Marquis Gan sneered and said, "Three thousand war horses may be a priceless treasure in your eyes, but in my eyes, they are [-] war horses. It's not as good as Yujiao's finger." Putting his hands behind his back, he walked out of the big tent, looked up at the dim sky, "Switch, let go!"
