Chapter 263 The Blonde with Blue Eyes and Fair Skin in Changshan Prefecture...
"It's nothing." Wu Luolan didn't seem to want to continue talking about this topic, "Now my father is ready to send troops, I think Wanyan Pingqiu will know soon, then when do you plan to go with him?" He negotiates?"
"Wait for Yue Zhonglin to come." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "I have prepared a lot of gifts for Wanyan Pingqiu and the others. We are going to beg someone, so how can we do it if we don't show something?"
"Do you really think that Wanyan Pingqiu will agree to peace talks with you?" Wu Luolan was not very confident about this.
"I think he should be more anxious than me, and he will be more anxious in two days. Of course, I can make him a little more anxious..." Xiao Chen showed a sinister smile.
A few days later, Yue Zhonglin escorted the convoy to arrive. In addition to grain and grass, there were dozens of carts full of silk and satin, tea, porcelain, needlework, gold and silver jewelry and other materials.
Accompanying him was a handsome young man who claimed to be from Jiangnan, his name was Sun Liuge.
He arrived at Yanyun Pass with Shi Mingtao's convoy, and he brought a whole 300 cartloads of goods, all of which were special products in the south of the Yangtze River and were in short supply.
Seeing the two of them were overjoyed, Xiao Chen immediately held a banquet to entertain them. In fact, there was nothing to eat, it was nothing more than horse meat prepared in various ways.
Yue Zhonglin was very embarrassed, saying that he came late and asked the marshal to punish him. It was not because I delayed on purpose, but because the road suddenly encountered sleet and snow, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk.
"Arriving safely is better than anything else! Have you encountered any robbers and bandits on the road?" Xiao Chen thought that Xiaosheng was really clever, and he said that if there was sleet, it would really happen.
"Hehe, there are a few suspicious people coveting it, but when they saw our boss Xiao Ziqi, they all ran away like hell." Yue Zhonglin laughed.
Xiao Chen became famous in the first battle in the north of Yanyun Mountain, all armed forces in Yanyun County knew how powerful he was, and no one dared to harass his grain truck.
In addition, Qin Gang from Yanyun Pass was also very interesting. Not only did he not stop them from leaving the pass in large numbers, he also sent a cavalry to send them a hundred miles away.
It can be seen that you, boss, still have a lot of face.
"It's not my face, it's Shi Mingtao's and the Empress Dowager's face." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "We bought this with money, and I don't accept his favor!"
"Even so, it's always good for us to have a good relationship with Qin Gang." Sun Liuge said, "I have met him this time, and this person can be friends with a little bit."
Sun Liuge came out with him to familiarize himself with the situation in the north and the topographic route, and to open up all the joints on the road, so that when he came back later, he would not have to pass through Shi Mingtao.
Anyway, Duanmu Nanqiao has plenty of money, so there is no door that money can't knock on, and there is no one who is unwilling to make friends with money.
If so, then reveal to them that you are a close friend of Uncle Guo...
"What Liu Ge said is reasonable, it's really hard for you to travel so far." Xiao Chen said.
"Boss... I heard that the big guys call you boss, and the villain can call you boss too?" Sun Liuge laughed.
"I'm also very happy to have you as a little brother." Xiao Chen admired this young man quite a bit. Although this boy is a little boy, he is shrewd, capable, clear-headed, and quite courageous.
After all, there are not many people who dare to enter Yanyun County now, and they dare to follow Yue Zhonglin directly out of the customs to meet him, which shows that they are not small.
"Boss, I think land transportation is not an option after all! From Jiangnan to Fengyang City is okay, but the road from Fengyang City to Yanyun Pass is too many obstacles. It goes without saying that Yanyun Mountain is full of rugged mountains. The road to Niutoushan is also bumpy and difficult, presumably other roads are also not good." Sun Liuge shook his head repeatedly as he said.
"And Yanyun County is thousands of miles away from north to south, and the cities are also far apart. It will be too inconvenient to use vehicles and horses to transport supplies through Yanyun Pass in the future, so the younger brother thinks, If the boss wants to manage this place for a long time, he must win Shunfeng Port!" Sun Liuge said firmly, "At any cost!"
"Well, that's what we planned too. Now Mr. Chen Jisheng has gone to the east. Now I don't know if we have contacted with the Ross people. Is the talk going well? It's really worrying." Xiao Chen misses old man Chen a little I am also worried about his body.
Chen Jisheng, Lin Yue and the others headed west all the way, gathering the fleeing people on the road, and giving them travel expenses, food and cotton clothes, so that they could return to their hometowns before the severe winter, and now the people of Xianbo All have been evacuated, and everyone can go on the road with peace of mind.
After the Xianbo people withdrew, many towns were in a state of power vacuum. Some local officials could try their best to settle down the people and manage order after they came back. In some cities, the entire yamen was empty!
Chen Jisheng could only temporarily appoint some officials, let them manage various affairs first, gather the people as much as possible, and restore order in the city.
In some cities, there was not even a grain of food, so Chen Jisheng ordered the local officials to open porridge fields. Now it is impossible to feed everyone, but it is also impossible for anyone to starve to death!
Although the Xianbo people are not a thing, they looted almost all of Yanyun County, but they did not burn down the houses, nor did they kill the people indiscriminately. The common people pull too much hatred.
Besides, if you killed all the people and burned all the houses, wouldn't Yanyun County become a no-man's land? There is still a fart for you to occupy it.
Therefore, several larger cities were hardly damaged, and the residents in the city and the people outside the city did not flee.
Because Wu Luolan knew the importance of these cities, he adopted a policy of appeasement. Not only did he not plunder, but he also handed over the management rights to the local yamen, and did not intervene in any way in principle.
Because there are only a few hundred Xianbo soldiers guarding here, and Wu Luolan's order is urgent, let them set off immediately when they see the arrow!
They were small in number, they left in a hurry, and they didn't have any means of transportation like carts, so they hardly took anything with them.
The granaries in these cities are even full.
This is also a surprise...
The situation in the eastern states is much better than that in the west. This is also because the economy in the east is more developed and the population is relatively concentrated. At the beginning, Wu Luolan wanted to use this place as his foothold, so the damage was quite limited.
All in all, the overall situation in Yanyun County was not so bad that it could not be handled, at least it was much better than Chen Jisheng predicted.
Especially in Changshan Prefecture in the southeast, the situation is better than Chen Jisheng expected.
Not only are most of the officials in the yamen still alive, but all the shops and hotels in the city are also operating normally, and the streets are bustling with people and traffic.
Among them, many blond and blue-eyed Ross people swaggered past, which surprised Lin Yue and others who had never seen foreigners before.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin...
Who the hell looks like this?
I don't know if such a blonde and white-haired woman would be more...
