The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 803 Chapter 802 Prefect Yang Qiu
Lufu City, Taishou's Mansion, Yang Qiu just came back from the school grounds, he was sweaty all over, and he didn't care about so much, he sat down on a barbarian's recliner, heaved a long sigh of relief, he could finally rest It's been a while.

Since Ma Chao returned to the Han court last year and relied on the court's army to unify the fragmented Liangzhou, Liangzhou has become much more peaceful, especially Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places in the west of Liangzhou, which are very obvious.In the past, there were horse thieves here, and caravans and pedestrians were frightened when they walked this road. Now, all the horse thieves have been integrated by Ma Chao and incorporated into Liangzhou's army. Some treacherous and evil horse thieves , were all cleaned up by Ma Chao, clarifying the unstable factors on the Silk Road.

In addition, Ma Chao even sent troops to patrol the Silk Road, with the purpose of ensuring the smooth flow of the entire Silk Road.Yang Qiu, who has both civil and military skills, is a person that Ma Chao values ​​more. For this reason, Ma Chao specially asked Yang Qiu to lead troops to garrison in Jiuquan, and recommended him as the prefect of Jiuquan. Keep the peace here.

After that, due to the fact that there were few horse thieves on the Silk Road, and the Han court increased the trade on the Silk Road, there were court caravans and private caravans, and gradually this lost luster of the Silk Road was restored. Liven up.

Because Liangzhou is located on the only way of the Silk Road, it has become full of vitality.

However, such a scene gradually declined after Ma Chao led the army to leave Liangzhou to pacify the southwest. Ma Chao's prestige in Liangzhou was too high, and he was quite popular in Qianghu's heart, so he looked the same when he was there. When not there, it looks the same again.

Although the overall environment in Liangzhou is relatively safe, recently, a group of horse thieves have been active between Dunhuang and Jiuquan, specializing in robbing passing merchants, and have caused several tragic tragedies. In Jiuquan County, this made Yang Qiu, the prefect of Jiuquan, feel very embarrassed.

Hence, Yang Qiu gathered all his soldiers and horses, and went to catch these horse thieves again and again, but these horse thieves came and went without a trace like a gust of wind, playing hide-and-seek with Yang Qiu. Over the next month, Yang Qiu only had one not-so-close contact with these horse thieves. Judging from their appearance and attire, they didn't look like they were from Liangzhou, but rather from the Western Regions.

But because these horse thieves are too weird and their whereabouts are also erratic, Yang Qiu has been unable to contact them head-on for more than half a month. The only time he encountered a few enemy scouts was one who was shot by him Even the corpse was taken away by his companions, without leaving any useful clues.

For this reason, Yang Qiu felt a headache, and he sent a letter to Suo Guang, the prefect of Dunhuang, and Wei Chengyi, the capital of Zhangye, asking them to join forces to fight against these horse thieves.

However, another half month passed, and when the three places cooperated to deal with these horse thieves, they disappeared, as if they had never appeared here, and the peace of the past was restored in this area.

Therefore, it is rare for Yang Qiu to have some time to rest these days, but he also understands that his army must be prepared at all times and must be trained every day.

Today, Yang Qiu just came back from training on the school field. Although the weather is still relatively cold, Yang Qiu returned here sweating profusely and panting because of the training.

These days, Yang Qiu is exhausted physically and mentally, and he feels that everything is not going his way. Even sitting on the recliner, he is full of thoughts about how to defend against the enemy.

"Master Taishou!" A guard beside Yang Qiu came in from the outside, bowed to Yang Qiu, and said respectfully.

Yang Qiu asked feebly, "What is it?"

"Jiang Changshi is seeking a meeting outside!"

"Let him in!" Yang Qiuqiang cheered up, sat up from the recliner, and said to the soldiers.

"Here!"

Not long after, Jiuquan Chief Shi Jiangxu came in from the outside, and as soon as he entered the hall, he respectfully bowed to Yang Qiu: "See you, Lord Prefect!"

"You don't need to be too polite, and there is no need to be restrained between you and me. Just now, I heard from Xiao Liu that you have something important to ask me?" Yang Qiu has no airs of being an official, and is very approachable, which won the awe of his subordinates.

Jiang Xu nodded and said, "There is a very important matter..."

"Don't hesitate, talk quickly if you have something to say, and let go of your fart if you have something to say! If you have nothing to say, get out quickly, and don't bother me to rest!" Yang Qiu was born in the army after all. He knows some etiquette, but he still can't change the habits he developed in the army. The more he scolds someone, the better his relationship with that person is. Both the bad and the bad are shown.

Jiang Xu has followed Yang Qiu for many years, started as an ordinary soldier under Yang Qiu, and climbed to the current position of Chang Shi step by step, all by virtue of his own ability.After so many years, if Jiang Xu still doesn't know Yang Qiu's temper, then he can really buy a piece of tofu and beat him to death.

In the past, Jiang Xu would laugh and joke with Yang Qiu, but today, Jiang Xu still stood there with a serious expression on his face, without saying a word.

Yang Qiu noticed this subtle change, and asked solemnly: "Is there really something important?"

Jiang Xu nodded heavily, without saying a word, but the solemn expression on his face revealed his inner monologue.

Yang Qiu sat there with a golden knife, staring at Jiang Xu with a pair of shrewd eyes, and said: "In this case, let's talk about it, I want to see what important things you can do!"

Jiang Xu took a deep breath, brewed a draft in his mind, and then opened his mouth and said, "What do you think of Ma Chao?"

Yang Qiu looked at Jiang Xu curiously, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Xudao: "My lord, there is something that I have never mentioned to anyone. Today I am going to tell my lord..."

Yang Qiu sat there quietly, without saying a word, just staring at Jiang Xu with his eyes, but listening with his ears.

Jiang Xudao: "Your Excellency, Yang Fu, the prefect of Longxi, knows him?"

"Liangzhou celebrity, I've met a few times, but I'm not familiar with them! Why are you asking this?" Yang Qiu asked.

Jiang Xudao: "He is my cousin, and my mother is his aunt!"

"Oh!" Yang Qiu was a little surprised and said, "Since you have such a relationship, why haven't you mentioned this matter?"

"There's nothing to mention about it. It's not something to show off!" Jiang Xu said.

"Then why are you mentioning this to me now?" Yang Qiu asked back.

Jiang Xudao: "The reason why I mentioned this matter to you today is because my cousin wants to see you!"

"I have nothing to do with Yang Fu, why does he want to see me?" Yang Qiu asked.

Jiang Xu bowed to Yang Qiu again, and said, "Master Taishou, my cousin is right outside the door, Lord Taishou can ask him who he is!"

"What? Yang Fu is right outside the door? When did he come? How come I don't know?" Yang Qiu asked with a look of shock.

Jiang Xudao: "My cousin came here in secret, and there is no official certificate, so it is normal for adults not to know."

Yang Qiu stabilized his expression slightly, and said to Jiang Xu: "Since Governor Yang has come, I should see him for both public and private purposes. Boyi, please invite Governor Yang in!"

"Here!"

Jiang Xu turned around and was about to go out, but Yang Qiu suddenly stopped him, only to hear Yang Qiu say: "Yang Taishou is also a well-known scholar in Liangzhou, and now he has come from a long way, so I should greet him personally, otherwise I will be negligent. Magi!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Qiu strode out of the room, followed by Jiang Xu.As soon as he left the hall, Yang Qiu saw a man dressed as a businessman standing there, but his elegant temperament couldn't be concealed under the sharp clothes.

Yang Qiu has seen Yang Fu before, but this is the first time he has seen him in this attire.He went forward to meet him, cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Prefect Yang, I'm sorry to welcome you from a distance, I hope you will be more tolerant!"

Yang Fu saw that Yang Qiu was very polite, he didn't have the airs that an official should have at all, although he was dressed in a vigorous attire, it was not elegant, and a long beard hung down on his chest, making him look a bit older. wind!
"Yi Shan pays homage to Governor Yang!" Yang Fu bowed his hands to Yang Qiu respectfully.

"Your surname is Yang, and I am also surnamed Yang. We belonged to the same family 500 years ago. Since you are Boyi's cousin, you don't need to be so rigid with me. You are the prefect, and I am also the prefect. Now there are no outsiders here. I'm a few years older than you, why don't you just call me brother!" Yang Qiu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Yang Fu thought to himself: "I have heard for a long time that Yang Qiu loves soldiers like a son, can share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and is also very approachable. Seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Therefore, Yang Fu cupped his hands and said: "Since this is the case, then respect is worse than obedience! Brother Yang!"

"Haha, we are all in the same family, so let's not talk about the two families. My virtuous brother has come from afar. I should do my best to be a landlord. Please invite me inside!" Yang Qiu laughed.

Yang Fu said: "Brother, you don't have to be so polite. I'm here to discuss something important. The time is very tight. I wonder if you can give me some time?"

Yang Qiu pondered for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Xu behind him, and said, "Okay, come with me!"

Yang Fu followed Yang Qiu into the hall, and Jiang Xu was behind the two of them. After the three entered the hall, they sat down as guests and hosts. The servants brought some tea, and Yang Qiu asked straight to the point: "My dear brother, where is the place?" There are no outsiders, so you can talk freely, if you want to know something, as a brother, you must know everything, and you can talk endlessly!"
