The lively wedding in Dunhuang quickly spread to all directions.

Upon learning this news, the Han soldiers were filled with envy for them, but also with hope for their own future.

At the intersection of Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Juyan, directly north of Jiayuguan, in a small town, Guo Si and Tian Yan led their respective thousand soldiers to meet here a few days ago.

"This Li Jue is really something else! He can do things like this?"

Upon learning that Li Jue had found wives for his men, Guo Si couldn't help but complain to Tian Yan across the table.

Tian Yan smiled and said, "I think Li Jue's idea is good. Giving the brothers their own home will make them more willing to protect it!"

Guo Si nodded, "That's true, we can follow suit!"

Tian Yan was slightly taken aback, and looked at Guo Si with suspicion, saying, "How can we imitate that? We don't have any bandits here, nor do we have that many women!"

"Hehe, we don't have any here, but we do have some over in Juyan! There are also plenty on the northern grasslands!"

Guo Si chuckled and pointed north.

"What? You mean you want to...?"

Tian Yan's expression changed, thinking that Guo Si wanted to go out and snatch the woman from Juyan. He quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't do anything reckless! General Duan has given orders that we must follow Cheng Yu's arrangements and not act arbitrarily!"

"Oh dear, how could I dare disobey General Duan's orders?"

Guo Si waved his hand and laughed, "We can't move, but others can!"

"Is someone moving?"

Tian Yan was stunned for a moment, wondering what kind of crazy idea Guo Si had come up with this time.

"Hehe~ Not bad, Juyan still has a thousand cavalrymen, what's the point of keeping them around?"

Guo Si chuckled, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Hmm~ You mean, let them go to the grasslands to plunder? And then take the opportunity to wear them down?" Tian Yan's eyes lit up.

Guo Si nodded. "That's right! This way, it will save us a lot of effort if we want to control Juyan later."

"That makes sense. They've taken women from the grasslands, which will inevitably make them enemies of the Xiongnu. Then they'll have no choice but to rely on us! It's a brilliant idea that kills three birds with one stone!"

At this point, Tian Yan looked at Guo Si with surprise and laughed, "A Duo is quite something, you've even learned to use stratagems?"

"Haha~ There's so much to learn from General Duan!" Guo Si laughed heartily.

Tian Yan smiled slightly and looked at Guo Si, "Uh... did General Duan teach you these things?"

"Ahem~ Don't worry about the details! We're just trying to help our brothers find wives!"

Guo Si coughed twice and quickly waved his hand, knowing that if word got out about scheming against vassal states, it wouldn't be a good thing.

"Haha~ Yes, yes, yes, let's find some wives for the brothers!"

Seeing Guo Si's guilty look, Tian Yan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph~ What's so funny?"

Seeing Tian Yan's appearance, Guo Si felt a surge of anger and glared at Tian Yan.

"nothing!"

Seeing that Guo Si seemed about to explode, Tian Yan quickly waved his hand and then looked at Guo Si, "This matter should be handled sooner rather than later, let's hurry up and take action!"

Guo Si nodded. "Okay! I'll make the arrangements right away!"

Guo Si then shouted loudly towards the outside, "Someone come here!"

"Yes, sir! What are your orders, General?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard who was standing at the door hurriedly walked in and came to Guo Si and Tian Yan.

Looking at the newcomer, Guo Si said in a deep voice, "Hmm~ You immediately take your men, disguise them as merchants, and go to Juyan to buy women from them, the more the better!"

"Buy women??"

The guards were stunned for a moment.

Seeing his subordinate in a daze, Guo Si couldn't help but stand up and slap him on the back of the head.

"Ah!! General!!"

The guard, wincing in pain, finally came to his senses, clutching his head and looking at Guo Si.

Guo Si glared at him, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go!!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

"Also, there's no need to rush. Just walk slowly. We need to make sure everyone in Juyan knows about it!"

"I understand!!"

The next day, a caravan of more than two hundred people, carrying dozens of carts of supplies, left the military camp and headed towards Juyan. At the same time...

The two fast horses galloped off towards the prefects of Jiuquan and Zhangye, respectively, urging the prefects of these two prefectures to quickly allocate another batch of supplies.

Following Guo Si's instructions, the bodyguard Zhao Si led the caravan into Juyan territory.

At this time, apart from their capital, most people in the Juyan Kingdom lived in tribal communities along the Juyan Lake and the Ruoshui River.

Although the area is rich in water and grass, which is very beneficial for agriculture and animal husbandry, the people of Juyan still live in great poverty due to the cruelty of the King of Juyan and the insatiable greed of the Juyan officials.

Arriving at a dilapidated village, and seeing the Juyan people shivering in the cold wind, their clothes tattered, Zhao Si couldn't help but sigh. What a beautiful place, wasted like this!

Soon, the arrival of this caravan attracted almost the entire Juyan tribe to come and watch.

Seeing this, Zhao Si stepped to the front of the group and shouted loudly to the Juyan people, "We are merchants from the Han Dynasty, and we have brought a large amount of grain and salt with us! We have come here today to trade with you!"
