Chapter 134: Salary of 300 shi (1)

Zhangye, also known as Ganzhou.

Located in the middle of the Hexi Corridor, it is also a crucial post town on the Silk Road.

The arm of the Huns was cut off and the ye (armest). As early as after Huo Qubing the Huns in the west, Emperor Wu of Han established Zhangye County, which has been around for hundreds of years.

Ban Yong, the son of Marquis of Dingyuan, once stationed troops in Zhangye in order to quell the rebellion in the Western Regions.

A horse farm was also established at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, becoming an important supply place for war horses in Liangzhou. However, after Ban Yong's death, Liangzhou suffered repeated turmoil. The Qiang people gradually advanced eastward and occupied Zhangye. However, due to the fierce eyes of the Huns north of Zhangye, the Qiang people's interest in Zhangye was greatly reduced. The people living here were basically nomadic small tribes.

This is indeed a good place, a very good place.

Dong Qi couldn't remember what wars had happened in Zhangye in the Romance. However, after coming to this era, after so many years of understanding, he now understands the importance of Zhangye, so he deeply agrees with Jia Xu's words.

But immediately afterwards, there is a very serious problem.

Who led Zhangye?

It is unlikely that Dong Qin himself will pass because his goal is too obvious.

Among the generals under his command... Pei Yuanshao, Dong Zhao, Dong Qi and Han De were all brave and unscrupulous generals, which really couldn't rest assured. Zhangye was backed by the Western Regions, and although there were Dunhuang and Jiuquan and other counties that belonged to the Han Dynasty. However, due to the imperial court's indifference to the Western Regions, these cities that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty became the paradise of the Qiang people.

More importantly, the Huns north of Zhangye's vassal state.

To gain a foothold in Zhangye, you need to have a general who is both wise and brave.

At the same time, given that Ban Yong had been garrisoning the border in Zhangye in his early years, he also needed a person who was good at internal affairs to help.

These two people are not easy to find...

A military advisor who is good at fighting, a military advisor who is good at internal affairs and is good at planning.

With all his thoughts, Dong Qi left Longxi County City with Dian Wei and Dong Tie in the evening. Pang De's family and the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo were accompanied by him.

Hua Tuo decided to go to the ranch first to see what the medical soldiers like Dong Qi said were like.

Dong Qi was naturally very welcome to this. All things in Longxi were left to Jia Xu for management. It is said that Niu Fu will personally lead a large army to the county town tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Therefore, for a period of time, Dong Qi did not need to worry about the safety of Longxi.

What he has to consider now is the candidate to guard Zhangye; and the other is how to kill Han Sui.

*******

Back to the ranch, it was already very late.

Dong Qi found Shamoke by the stream. As he had guessed, Shamoke was very depressed and sat by the stream in a daze.

Sitting down next to Shamoke on the left and right with Dian Weiyi.

"Brother, second brother, when did you come back?"

"Just come back!"

Dong Qi was carrying two wine bags, "I heard that you were unhappy. How could I not come back soon, as a brother?"

"Second brother..."

"Nothing to say anything, drink!"

After taking the leather bag, pulling out the plug, Shamoko took a big mouthful, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"But sad for those who died?"

"I..." Shamoke's eyes turned red and he said softly: "It's a bit uncomfortable. They are all good men of Wuxi Barbarians. When I left Wuling, my father gave me 800 people. But in a blink of an eye, it was less than a year before, and they were almost dead."

"Did you ever regret it?"

"regret?"

Dong Qi took a sip of wine, but did not drink it. He rinsed his mouth in his mouth, spit out a crystal water arrow, and fell into the stream.

He said calmly: "I regret following me?"

Shamoko hurriedly said, "Second brother, what are you talking about? Shasha can regret it."

"Actually, I have had this kind of mood."

Dong Qi turned his head and looked at Dian Wei and Shamoko, "I took people to fight in the northwest back then, and in the end I came back only more than 30 people. After that, I encountered Taipingdao incident and the people who followed me... Now I carefully calculated that the only comrades who fought side by side back then were left, now I am, Lu'er, Pei Yuanshao, Dong Zhao, Dong Qi, Dong Tie and Ma Song... and there are twelve. I feel sad when every comrade dies, but I can't say anyone."

"Comrades-in-arms?"

This is a very fresh noun, Shamoke and Dian Wei looked at Dong Qi curiously.

"Aren't those who fought side by side just comrades?"

Dong Qi explained reluctantly, and then said, "I can be sad, but I can't take up too much time. Because I know that excessively remembering the dead is disrespectful to those comrades who are still fighting side by side with me. I can't be sad either, because my emotions will make the living sad. Shasha, whether you are the superior, whether you are the head of the family or the king of the clan, you must be prepared and learn to hide your own feelings."

Shamoke was silent, stunned, savoring Dong Qi's words.

"Instead of spending time in memories, it's better to look at tomorrow... Let the living live better, this is what we need to do. Shasha, we are in an era that is about to turbulent, and many people will die in the future. We need to be prepared for this, because the moment you and I came to this world, we are destined to not live like ordinary people. Think about it carefully, let me know if I figure it out; if I can't figure it out, you'd better go home."

After saying that, Dong Qi stood up, regardless of whether Shamoke and Dian Wei understood, and left with great strides.

"Brother, what do you mean by the second brother?"

"Well... it seems that I mean, think less about dead people and think more about living people... that's it, I don't understand."

"It seems to make sense!"

"Well, I think so too... When my second brother said this, I feel that I have really neglected my family these days. Forget it, think slowly, I want to go home to accompany my wife and my son... My baby son has never been with him since I was born. Let me give the boy a name tomorrow."

After Dian Wei finished speaking, he left Shamoke and left.

After taking a sip of wine, Shamoko stood up, shouted at the dark night sky twice, and slowly walked back to the mansion.

The next day, Dong Qi wanted to persuade Dong Yuan.

But unexpectedly, Dong Yuan took the initiative to find him...

His face still looks pale, but his complexion is good.

"A Chou, I figured it out!"

"What did you understand?"

"I was too overestimated before. The battlefield was not suitable for me... Hehe, so in the future, I decided to be a good wife at home and not consider other things. However, you must promise me one thing."

Dong Qi asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"

"Keep the Tiger Girl Camp!"

Dong Yuan smiled slightly, "Those are all good girls, much stronger than me. They have suffered a lot, and now the Tiger Girl Camp is their home. After disbanding the Tiger Girl Camp, I am worried... In short, I just don't allow you to disband the Tiger Girl Camp."

Dong Qi scratched his head and said distressedly: "Sister Four, your tiger girl camp is full of women... It's not that I look down on them, but how could I have time to train them? In a few days, I will go to Longxi County City to participate in the war."

"I've decided and left it to Lu'er and Teng Li'er to take care of."

After Dong Yuan finished speaking, she thought about it and said, "Also, there is a girl in the Tiger Girl Camp who is quite powerful. After Lu'er gets married to you, if you really don't want Lu'er to take care of these things, just leave it to her. But she is still young now, so why not learn some life with Lu'er and Teng Li'er first. Once she learns, Lu'er and Teng Li'er will get out."

"Well, as long as Lu'er agrees, I have no objection."

Dong Qi thought for a while, "Why not do this, I'll talk to Lu'er first. At noon, please let that girl go find Lu'er."

"Then let's just say that!"

Dong Yuan turned around and was about to go out.

But Dong Qi called her, "Sister Four, what's that girl's name?"

"Ren Hongchang, we all call her Xiaohong."

"Well, I've recorded it!"

Dong Qi lowered his head again and began to think about other things.

When Dong Yuan left, he suddenly looked up and said to himself in confusion: "Ren Hongchang? This name sounds a bit familiar!"

But I can't remember who Ren Hongchang was.

It has not been mentioned in the Romance of the Romance, I guess it is not a very powerful character...

There were too many things in Dong Qi's hands, so after talking to Dong Lu about what Dong Yuan said, he quickly left behind.

I originally wanted to stay in the ranch for a day or two before leaving, but I didn't know that the old lady didn't agree.

The reason is very simple, good days are coming soon!

Dong Qiu wants to get engaged to Dong Lu. However, due to Dong Lu's identity, the wedding is naturally unlikely to be grand.

According to his identity, Dong Lu is Dong Qi's maid.

Even if you become a relative, you are just the identity of a concubine.

But even so, the ranch was still very happy. After all, the young master of the Dong family was finally getting married.

When he said his heart, Dong Qi was also very excited.

The bachelor in his previous life was also a virgin until he died. In addition, in this life for more than ten years... Haha, he is finally going to get married.

The old lady forgot her days and decided to get married on November 2nd.

This day is also Dong Qi's fifteenth birthday. Double happiness is coming, so naturally I have to prepare well.

Since the date of marriage was announced, Dong Qi could not see Dong Lu again. He could not even live in the ranch and was driven to his old house in Lintao.

As the good days were approaching day by day, Dong Qi became more and more nervous.

On this day, he was talking to Jia Xu who had returned from the county town in his old house. Suddenly someone came to report: A military Sima Chen arrived, Huang Shao led the Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers to Lintao. He also asked Dong Qi to properly place these surrendered soldiers as soon as possible.

Dong Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Chen Dao, Huang Shao...
