Chapter 216 The worst thing is to get involved in the dragon

Huyang County was originally an empty earthen wall, even worse than Zhaojiabao in the Zhao family in Shuozhou. However, after just over half a year, this place has completely changed.

In order to protect the tribe of his own tribe, more than 8,000 men from the Zhao family in Shuozhou and the purchased slaves rushed to work day and night to complete the construction of Huyang City before the heavy snow came. At this time, the Poplar County Town had a rammed earth city wall of 16 feet wide, a tall and majestic enemy building, a horse-faced wall, and a woman's wall. Looking at the Western Regions, if Chen Ying had not come, only Gaochang City could be comparable to the current Poplar City.

The family business is inherited from generation to generation, and then the subsequent generations of bricks and tiles can finally become a big family. Zhao Boying firmly believes in this.

The ancestor of the Zhao family in Shuozhou was just an ordinary soldier in Shuozhou City during the Han Dynasty. After retiring due to injury, Shuozhou settled down and established a business with 40 acres of military support. After dozens of generations of management, the Zhao family in Shuozhou became a famous powerful man in Shuozhou. Now, the Huangyang City has become the city of the Zhao family. From the county magistrate, the lord, the county magistrate, the six-house officials, the three-team yamen runners, the prison guards, the coroner, the new soldiers, the sects, all came from the Zhao family.

Zhao Boying regarded this poplar county, about 600 miles north and south, and about 713 miles east and west, as the foundation. In order to attract population, Zhao Boying brought his tribe members to build a large number of vacant houses and built more than 7,800 large and small houses in the big poplar county. In addition to relocating the Zhao clan, Zhao Boying also left more than 1,300 houses to attract past business travelers or savages from the Western Regions.

Zhao Boying was very satisfied while stroking his shiny brass seal.

However, a faint wind came, as if the court was dissatisfied with Chen Ying, the PR. At this time, Zhao Boying couldn't sit still. He hurriedly called his son to the front and asked, "Haoxin, how much money does our family have now?"

A large-scale copper mine was discovered in Hupo Populus County. In this era, copper mines were money. This is why Zhao Boying could be stronger than other Shuozhou tycoons, and completed the construction of more than 7,000 courtyards in one go because he had money.

Zhao Haoxin became the county magistrate and smiled helplessly: "Dad, our expenses this year are too high, only more than 1,500 coins left!"

More than 1,500 jin sounds not much, but in fact it is really a lot of money. According to the five-zhu coins, more than 1,500 jins are equivalent to more than 1,000 jins.

Zhao Boying thought for a while and said, "Take all the money with me and go to Shule!"

Although Zhao Haoxin did not understand what Zhao Boying meant, he still did it according to Zhao Boying's wishes. More than 10,000 kilograms of copper coins were enough for three four-wheeled carriages, each carriage with its own weight was more than 4,000 kilograms.

Two strong horses pull a car, with a load of nearly 40 stones. The ruts crossed the road and made a "rattle" sound. In this world, it is definitely considered a heavy-duty carriage. Such a car can only be taken on hard roads in the city, and it takes a little more horsepower to walk on hard dirt roads. When it rains, the road becomes muddy and it becomes even more stumbling.

Fortunately, Chen Ying attacked the westward and built many asphalt roads at the same time, so there was no need to worry about road problems. Zhao Boying summoned 200 people from the Pijia tribe. Zhao Boying, the magistrate of the Populus Hu County, had the power to rule over 300 horse stairs and archers in the Populus Hu County. Of course, this is actually just a militia.

However, in this Western Region, in order to protect the safety of the Tang people, Chen Ying lifted the restrictions on the people in the pass that they could not possess strong crossbows and iron armor. Therefore, Zhao Boying led 300 soldiers and his own supplies, and a total of more than a dozen large cars heading towards Shule City.

At this time, Zhao Haoxin had thought about it. Zhao Boying was giving money to Chen Ying, which could also be said to be losing to sincerity.

Zhao Haoxin was puzzled and the court was already afraid of Chen Ying. At this time, the Zhao family in Shuozhou should have drawn a line with Chen Ying instead of getting together.

In the bumpy carriage, Zhao Boying felt a little uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and lay on the soft couch in the carriage to rest. Zhao Haoxin opened his mouth and finally couldn't help asking: "Dad, I don't understand!"

"What do you don't understand?"

"I don't understand why you did this!" Zhao Haoxin suddenly said with a look of anger: "Dad, Chen Dadu is going to lose his power. Let's lean on the ground now, wouldn't we be arrested?"

"Hey..." Zhao Boying couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard this. He sighed and said, "Haoxin, you will accept the patriarch of our Zhao clan in Shuozhou after being a father for a hundred years. Your eyes are so shallow. How dare you hand the Zhao clan in your hands for your father?"

Zhao Haoxin said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, you're so fair. The child is a little knowledgeable. Although he dares not admit that he is very talented, he will not let Zhao down!"

Zhao Boying said: "Then I ask you, have you read the Records of the Grand Historian? How did Fan Zeng say about Xiang Yu during the Hongmen Banquet!"

Zhao Haoxin's face turned into a pig's liver. Of course, he had read the Records of the Grand Historian and naturally knew how Fan Zeng said Xiang Yu. It was a famous saying that everlasting eternal - the lack of a man is enough and the plan!

Zhao Boying looked at Zhao Haoxin with dissatisfaction and said, "Even if Chen Dadu Protector Chen is not a magistrate of the Western Regions, he is still the Grand Priest of the current dynasty, and is ranked first-rank official. Whether it is Pei Xiang, Xiao Xiang, Chen Xiang, or Yang Xiang, they still have to give the superior courtesy when they see Chen Dadu Protector Chen. Even if His Majesty cut him off the Duke of Liang and dismissed all his official positions, isn't Dadu Protector Dadu Protector Dadu Protector? Is he the one who can be stepped on? Others can be naive and naive, but you can't!"

Zhao Haoxin's face turned pale and could not say a word.

Zhao Boying sneered and sat up and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and see it yourself. At this time, Xu Caifu, Dong An, and Ren Bi of the Xu family should have come too!"

Sure enough, at this time, I heard the guard report: "Feng Kelan, Feng, the Feng family, requested to go with him!"

Zhao Haoxin was puzzled and showed doubts.

Zhao Boying sighed, his son was always good, even if he was not able to bear it, he was better than other people's sons. Zhao Boying said, "Do you really think that even if we don't rely on it, others wouldn't think that we are Chen Dadu Protector? In fact, as early as Shuozhou, when my father surrendered to Chen Dadu Protector, our Shuozhou Zhao family had the mark of Chen Dadu Protector. No matter what, we can't wash it off!"

Zhao Haoxin said depressedly: "Our Zhao family has just improved, but at this time, if... it will fail!"

"Hmph..." Zhao Boying said: "If it was really that better, our Zhao family might be able to survive the mastery of the Dragon!"

Zhao Boying said it right. In fact, Chen Ying has no way to turn back now, unless he is as naive as Yue Fei. In fact, at this time, fighting is death, and not fighting is death. It is definitely not Chen Ying's character.

...

Outside Chang'an City, a team of Yuan Cong's Imperial Guards disguised themselves as commoners and slowly approached the Qinglin. Du Yan, who was sitting on the second floor of a tavern in Qinglin, looked at the people who were not as good as Yuan Cong's Imperial Guards, and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Du Yan picked up a secret letter in his arms and said to Zhang Gongjin beside him: "You find a few capable subordinates and send this letter to the East Palace, saying it was for Wei Zheng, but remember to hand it over to Yuchi Gong!"

"Yuchi Gong?" Zhang Gongjin said with a puzzled look: "Why should I leave it to Yuchi Gong?"

"The East Palace is also full of factions!" Du Yan smiled and said, "Wei Zheng and the officials from Shandong belong to the Shandong party, while Wei Ting and Feng Li belong to the Guanlong party, and there are also Chen Ying's group, such as Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhigan, and Yuchi Gong, who are named the generals of the East Palace, all belong to Chen Ying's group!"

Zhang Gongjin said thoughtfully: "I understand!"

As he said that, Zhang Gongjin turned around with a few followers.

...

Chang'an City, Yuchi Gong's mansion. An inconspicuous three-entry courtyard. In the alley diagonally opposite the courtyard, Zhang Gongjin looked at Yuchi Gong wearing armor and went out, and then shook his eyes at a servant beside him.

The attendant took the secret letter from Zhang Gongjin and was about to walk towards the door.

However, Zhang Gongjin said: "Wait!"

In the confusion of the attendant's eyes, Zhang Gongjin pointed at the attendant and said, "Stop breath!"

The attendant was even more confused. In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Gongjin suddenly took action and pressed it on the attendant's shoulder, gradually increasing his strength.

The servant gritted his teeth and carried it hard.

Zhang Gongjin's martial arts skills are not weak, and his strength is amazing. How could this servant resist? In just a moment, the servant's face turned red by Zhang Gongjin's pressure, and continued to have fine sweat on his forehead.

Zhang Gongjin looked at the sweat on the attendant's face and said with satisfaction: "Go!"

The sweaty servant ran to Yuchi Gongmen panting and swayed to knock the door knocker.

Yuchi Gong's Si Zhu opened the door and said, "Who are you looking for?"

The attendant said, "Where is Wei Xima?

Si Chang said inexplicably: "Wei Xima?"

Before Si Yan could speak, the attendant quickly said, "Oh... that's not here! Remember to hand over this letter to Wei Xima. This is the private letter from General Chen to Wei Xima. You must not let others dismantle it."

As he said that, no matter how Si Yan reacted, the attendant directly stuffed the secret letter into Si Yan's hand.

At night, Yuchi Gong returned to his mansion exhausted, and Si Chang quickly delivered the letter to Yuchi Gong's hand and said, "Master, this is the secret letter given to Wei Xima by General Chen!"

Yuchi Gong said in confusion: "General Chen's secret letter to Wei Zheng? Where is the person who sent the letter?"

Szang said, "Put down the letter and leave."

Yuchi Gong said in confusion: "Do you know the one who sent the letter?

The guard shook his head and said, "I have never seen him. He should not be the one under General Chen. Although he has never known all the people under General Chen, there will definitely be no one who will be in a good mood!"

Yuchi Gong picked up the secret letter and sat on the right, looking suspicious. Yuchi Gong finally couldn't help but tear the secret letter and read it.

After seeing this, Yuchi Gong was furious and punched the letter hard on the desk.

The table table made of mahogany was broken into pieces under the blow of Yuchi Gong's punch.

Si Chang asked in shock: "Master, what happened?"

Yuchi Gong roared with a ferocious look on his face: "What else can I do? Chen Ying asked Wei Zheng to design kill me!"

Si Chang said with confusion: "But General Chen, why did you do this?"

Yuchi Gong was speechless for a moment.

Yuchi Gong took the secret letter, watched it over and over again, and murmured to himself: "No, this is obviously General Chen's handwriting!"
