Chapter 141 Fighting Side by Side...
Set up farmland between Nishui and Luoshui?
Today's Loess Plateau has not yet experienced the large-scale land reclamation and farming of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is still in the stage of Qin and Han immigration and border settlement. The "mud" in mud and water is far less serious than the quicksand floods of later generations, which often cause disasters.
But you have to know that even if the banks of Nishui and Luoshui can indeed be used as farming areas, the area between Nishui and Luoshui is...
Qiao Yan held the cold plate of Sushan in his hand, looked at Xun You, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Xun You replied: "You never speaks of anything without careful consideration."
She stood up immediately and said, "Okay, come with me."
She had already arranged the major events in Bingzhou, so she had some free time. It was not a big deal for her to travel for a few days.
Considering the importance of the subsequent battle from Liangzhou to Chang'an, she decisively handed the government affairs back to Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai, and took Guo Jia and Xun You with her, from Jinyang to Xihe, and then to Shangjun.
Not far after Gaonu is Luo River.
This Luo River is not the Luo River in Luoyang. Perhaps it would be easier to distinguish it by calling it the Beiluo River.
The Beiluo River flows into the Wei River. In other words, following the Beiluo River, one can reach the Guanzhong Plain directly. This is why Dong Zhuo stationed Duan Wei's troops in Huayin.
By controlling this river valley, the road from Bingzhou to Chang'an would be blocked.
So if she wanted to lead a large army, she couldn't take this route.
Qiao Yan stopped his horse in front of the Beiluo River, whipped his horse and pointed westward in the direction of Liangzhou. From here he could clearly see the mountains ahead.
"Do you want to cultivate land on Ziwu Ridge?" Qiao Yan turned his head to look at Xun You and asked word by word.
The vast forest plain in front of them was the Ziwuling Mountains, which was also the natural boundary between Bingzhou and Liangzhou.
Verdant green mountains stretch from north to south.
Of course, this place is different from Taihang Mountains, which are only accessible through passes. The difference in altitude between Ziwuling and Gaonu, where they just passed, is only about 400 meters. The mountains are not hidden in the clouds, and there are many accessible roads.
It is also interesting to say that Wei Yan, a general of Shu Han in the future, proposed to use the Ziwu Valley as a clever strategy to advance into Chang'an, and the Ziwu Ridge, which also has the same name as Ziwu, can also go straight to Chang'an. It’s just that one is in the south and the other is in the north.
After Xun You signaled Qiao Yan to go up the mountain first, several people climbed to a high place and went straight up the Qinzhi Road on the Ziwu Ridge.
In the past, King Qin Sao supervised the construction of the Qin Straight Road, connecting Jiuyuan in the north and Xianyang in the south, in order to connect troops to the north and deter the Huns.
Today, this Qin Straight Road still remains and is not covered by the weeds growing on the mountains. The widest part is more than 20 meters wide and can accommodate several carriages traveling at the same time. It can be said to be an ancient version of a highway.
But the southern end of this road, just like the Huayin garrison that defended against attacks from Bingzhou and Luoyang, was also the focus of Dong Zhuo's defense after arriving in Chang'an.
From here to Ganquan Palace on the Qinzhi Road, it is more than 500 miles away, and there is no place for supplies. If Bingzhou does not waste the people's strength by war, and if the garrisons at various border passes are still fully equipped, the army that can be dispatched will be no more than 20,000 to 30,000 people.
During such a long march, the ratio of food transport to the number of people available for combat had to be roughly one to one.
Qiao Yan rode slowly and said, "The second pass that Dong Zhuo set up after entering Chang'an is located at Gaoling. To the west, it can block the enemy troops coming down the Jing River, and to the east, it can block the enemy troops coming from the Zhidao Road. The person guarding the pass is Zhang Ji. Dong Zhuo also issued an imperial decree to appoint Ma Teng as the general of the front and Han Sui as the general of the left. If other troops invade from the Bingzhou and Liangzhou directions, he can lead the Liangzhou troops from the Youfufeng direction to provide assistance."
"General Huangfu's army has not yet set out, but Dong's Xiliang tribe has moved from Liangzhou to Chang'an. With only 10,000 people attacking deep into the heart of the Guanzhong Plain, if they run into the Gaoling defenders, they will undoubtedly be courting their own destruction."
Even if she had powerful generals like Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, it would be useless.
Apparently, as she had guessed, Dong Zhuo temporarily restrained his arrogance after the defeat in Luoyang and instead adopted a solid defensive stance.
Qiao Yan had no doubt that if she chose Luochuan Road or Qinzhi Road to attack Chang'an directly, Dong Zhuo would mobilize 300,000 people in Chang'an to forcibly defend the pass in a desperate battle, and would fight to the death.
What she wanted was the reputation of defeating Dong Zhuo, not to put the people of Chang'an into dire straits again.
So this is not an option.
Xun You replied: "Your Excellency sees it clearly."
It is undoubtedly very comfortable to work with such a young but calm lord.
Although she had the feat of running thousands of miles to attack the Xianbei camp, she obviously never underestimated her opponent, and she was well aware that some tricks would not be so effective after being used once. He did not get carried away by the new victory.
"I'm not just talking about this road being blocked," she pointed to the south, "there are garrisons stationed to the south of the straight road. If we use scouts to patrol regularly, our presence here will be hidden from the eyes and ears of Dong the thief. The straight road is high above us, with a tiger-like presence on both sides. It's not easy for us to attack Chang'an, but Chang'an can send out a cavalry division to attack. Do you still think it's okay to station troops here?"
According to Qiao Yan's original idea, the most suitable location from Shangjun to Liangzhou is still further north.
Following the border of the Great Wall of Han, from Jingbian and Dingbian areas, go straight north to Lingwu, which is also the hometown of Fu Xie.
He then established a material transportation route along the Great Wall, and after gaining a foothold in Lingwu, he coordinated with the troops led by Huangfu Song from the north and south, first eliminating Ma Teng and Han Sui, completely cutting off Dong Zhuo's retreat, and then heading south and east.
The Xun family member, who was well versed in the elegance of an aristocratic family, nodded and smiled at her, "Your Excellency is right, but do the people stationed here have to be Han people?"
He paused for a moment, and seeing a thoughtful look flash across Qiao Yan's face, he continued, "I see that in Bingzhou, where you rule, it has become a custom to teach the people how to plant crops. So, why can't you teach it to the naturalized Southern Xiongnu?"
"When I came here, I asked Fengxiao about the situation of Meiji and the Southern Xiongnu. As the Han Dynasty fell, the border areas began to have dissent. This is why the nobles of the left tribe of the Southern Xiongnu secretly harbored rebellious intentions. Fortunately, you have deterred them and made them dare not act rashly. But I think you don't want them to just be afraid to act rashly."
Xun You continued in a gentle tone: "The Southern Xiongnu are the people of Bingzhou, so they should be driven by you. Otherwise, if you keep them as aliens that you need to be on guard against at all times, it would be fine to kill them and make them fat when you don't have to consider the emperor's attitude towards the Southern Xiongnu. But is this the truth?"
When Qiao Yan met his calm and composed eyes, he suddenly understood why Xun You had come up with the plan of flooding Xia Pi.
She said, "Go on. Since the Southern Xiongnu have decided to station troops here, you should have figured out the subsequent arrangements. Talk about it."
Just as Xun You said, if she really did not intend to use the Southern Xiongnu, when the power of the Han Dynasty was split equally between them and the North and the South confronted each other, and she returned victoriously from Luoyang, she would not have to worry about the Han Dynasty recruiting the Southern Xiongnu, and could just kill them all.
Qiao Yan really wanted to use them.
After the previous suppression, these Southern Xiongnu people could be recruited as soldiers.
After all, she has already demonstrated sufficient means of suppression through force. Appropriate restraint at this time will not make these Southern Xiongnu tribesmen forget the deterrence she brings.
Among them, many of the left-wing nobles who had previously had rebellious intentions could be left alone for another two years and used as a source of cattle and sheep to be exploited.
The Qiangqu people, who have shown a cooperative attitude towards the Han Dynasty, or towards Qiao Yan, can be incorporated into the resident system of Bingzhou and can also be given some benefits.
She originally planned to ask Yu Fuluo, who had previously gone to Youzhou to help quell the Yuyang Rebellion, to join the army.
The winning rate and reward and punishment system of the Bingzhou Army had already made the eldest son of Qiangqu interested.
But now it seems that this way of employing people may need to be changed.
Xun You replied: "Use Huchuquan."
Luan Ti Hu Chu Quan was the second son of the Chanyu of Southern Xiongnu.
According to the Xiongnu rule that the son inherits the throne after the father's death and the younger brother inherits the throne after the elder brother's death, his right of succession lies undisputedly with Fu Luo. When Qiao Yan repeatedly "visited" Meizhi City, where the Southern Xiongnu lived, he was rarely seen.
"Your Excellency can order Huchuquan to lead the Southern Xiongnu tribe to set up camp in the Ziwu Mountains under the pretext of going out to look for opportunities, and to cultivate the land along the Beiluo River and the muddy water bank. This will at least buy us half a year to a year of time to confuse the enemy."
Xun You's suggestion is indeed feasible.
During Qiao Yan's attack on Luoyang, he showed weakness to Dong Zhuo twice, but both times he dealt him a nearly fatal blow.
As the saying goes, three times the limit, how could he have thought that Qiao Yan didn't like to repeat old tricks in some aspects, but in some areas it didn't matter if a useful method was used one more time.
She heard Xun You continue to say: "During this period, because the Lord recognized the Western Emperor as the orthodox, and now the troops have returned, it is not easy to control the entire Bingzhou, and even have to let the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu wander around the Bingliang border. The thief Dong has a chance to catch his breath and will inevitably relax a little. The Lord must also strive for the next title that surpasses Ma Teng and Han Sui, so that-"
"Take advantage of their unpreparedness and launch a full-scale attack on Liangzhou."
This last sentence was said in a way that really revealed his true intentions.
Xun You pointed to the mountain below, which was the west of Ziwuling Mountain, belonging to Liangzhou, and asked, "Would you like to go down the mountain with me to take a look?"
go! Why not go?
The muddy river bank to the west of the Ziwuling Mountains is said to be the favorite route for the Xiongnu and Qiang Hu to invade in the past.
However, what was now presented to Qiao Yan was a sparsely populated scene.
The muddy water is divided by Qingyang, with two rivers in the north, the Huanjiang River in the west and the Baima River in the east. As for the south of Qingyang, it is also called the Malian River.
Located between Huanjiang River and Baima River, facing Qingyang, is the Shegu Mountain mentioned in Xun You's words.
Qiao Yan looked at the slightly yellow river water in front of him, retracted his gaze towards the west, and said, "Speaking of Shegu Mountain, I can't help but think of a person. In the spring of the sixth year of Yonghe, the Han Dynasty's General Ma Xian fought with the Qiang people of the Qiedong tribe at Shegu Mountain. General Ma and his two sons died in the battle."
"In the 28 years from the seventh year of Yongchu to the sixth year of Yonghe, General Ma killed more than 21,000 Qiang people. However, in the Battle of Shegu Mountain, he did not take advantage of the Qiang people's gathering to attack. He did not care about military affairs and valued money. It is not a pity that he suffered such a defeat. Since General Ma's death, Huangfu Weiming has been a late bloomer and finally showed his talent as a famous general. He has become one of the three famous generals in Liangzhou in the future."
"This Shegu Mountain can be called a mountain of vigilance."
Xun You thought she was recounting history, but suddenly she said, "Gongda, I'm glad you reminded me. I'll do as you said after I go back. I'll meet Huochuquan first, and you and Fengxiao will be responsible for the subsequent instructions."
He looked towards Qiao Yan, and saw the long wind on the Loess Plateau blowing up her long hair and cloak, revealing her bright and sharp eyes that were captivating.
The heroic demeanor displayed by this Bingzhou governor, who was only half his age, was truly unforgettable.
At this moment, he also deeply understood why people like Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, who usually relied on their talents and were arrogant, respected and looked up to her so much.
He dismounted and bowed deeply to the other party: "Please rest assured, I will definitely help you avoid future troubles."
What are the consequences?
It was these Southern Xiongnu tribesmen who, after being relocated here, became like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, and while communicating with the surrounding Qiang tribes and creating an illusion for Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, they simply turned from a fake rebellion to a real one.
Judging from the Southern Xiongnu people's style of doing things, even if their parents, wives and children were still in Qiao Yan's hands, it was obviously of no use to restrain them.
The only thing that can hold them back is interest.
Fortunately, compared with Han Sui and Ma Teng, Qiao Yan's advantage in this regard is still obvious.
He already had some ideas in his mind on how to spur these Southern Xiongnu people.
As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw that Qiao Yan did not return home just because he had achieved the purpose of on-site exploration, but instead asked his personal guards to set up camp here.
Seeing Xun You giving him a puzzled look, Qiao Yan waved his hand to signal him not to ask any more questions.
By the time the camp was set up, a simple water filtration device had been built in the camp under Qiao Yan's arrangement, and his personal soldiers went to fetch water from the muddy river.
Then, Qiao Yan handed the river water, which had been screened and boiled, to him.
Xun You couldn't help but frowned after taking a sip, "Is this water a bit bitter?"
"The salt content in it is too high. It can't be used to irrigate the crops." Qiao Yan snatched the cup from his hand and poured out the salt water.
It might be difficult to explain to Xun You that the upper reaches of the river are located in a freeze-thaw zone, and that soil water with high mineral concentrations is replenished into the river, causing such a sharp increase in salt content.
But it's good to clarify the problem.
That’s the problem with the muddy water here.
Xun You's expression changed. "I thought before that there was no land for cultivation here because the Qiang and Hu tribes were robbing and looting, and it was better to be a nomad than to farm. But now it seems that there is a reason for this. I didn't think it through."
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Gongda has lived in Yingchuan and Luoyang for a long time. It's not surprising that he knows little about the special conditions here. Besides, I didn't say that the Baima River cannot be used, and I didn't say that the water south of Qingyang cannot be used."
"It's getting late today, so follow me southwards tomorrow."
This could be considered a lesson for Xun You, who had little experience in actual combat in the north.
On the second day, Qiao Yan led everyone to continue their journey south. After the muddy water passed Qingyang, several tributaries converged in the areas of Yuning County and Niyang. Several ditches were divided into these tributaries. The water in many of these ditches was clear, which was completely different from the yellowish water.
Qiao Yan pointed to this place and said, "This area is suitable for garrisoning troops as Gongda said. The river water comes from Ziwuling, not from the upper reaches of Huanxian County. If we count the mountain streams in Ziwuling, it is enough to feed the Southern Xiongnu troops stationed here."
However, it would obviously be difficult to expect the Southern Xiongnu people to learn so quickly how to determine the direction of cultivating fields in such a special terrain. This requires a special team to be assigned to this matter to make some plans.
What Qiao Yan had never expected was that after the recruitment order was issued, there was a special person among those who came forward to sign up.
"I'm just a spectator, I won't get in the way." Fu Shou tried to straighten herself up so that she could look like an adult, but no matter how straight she stood, she couldn't change her age.
She could only play the emotional card, "Sister, do you still remember what I told you?"
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "How could I not remember?"
When she entered the capital to seek the position of Governor of Bingzhou, Fu Shou met her again in Yan Xili and asked her why there was no book in the world that could record all the mountains, rivers and streams, so that people could enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers without leaving their homes. It would be even better if it could be supplemented with pictures.
At that time, she was still confined to her home in Luoyang, but now that she has come to Leping with Princess Yang'an, she is truly like a bird out of a cage.
"That's good. I haven't forgotten my sister's encouragement at that time." Fu Shou's eyes lit up, and she immediately spread out the results of her activities around Jinyang in the past few days in front of Qiao Yan.
In fact, she was inspired by the propaganda methods that Cai Zhaoji came up with. After all, there was enough paper in Leping Hou's place, so she started to build the framework of the hydrological and mountain records according to her own ideas.
Qiao Yan took the notebook she handed over and saw a map of Bingzhou and a few isolated rivers on the first page.
The second page shows the place names and shapes of one of the rivers, and on the right are information such as the names of ancient and modern rivers, river channel deviations, water quality, and crops in the basin that she recorded.
The next page records the inscriptions and customs near the river.
Fu Wan was a civil servant. He had been cultivating Fu Shou's calligraphy and painting skills since she was young, and they came in handy now.
In Qiao Yan's opinion, although the content is still a bit rough, she can improve it by going to Nishui and Ziwuling, gaining more knowledge from the old farmers and traveling to more places in Bingzhou.
She thought to herself that the significance of this thing might not just be for recording, and it could indeed be done right now.
Seeing that Qiao Yan had finished reading these pages of her work and did not speak for a while, Fu Shou could not help but clasped her hands nervously, but she saw Qiao Yan suddenly took out a piece of hard paper from the side, wrote the three words "Shanhelu" on it, and asked someone to punch two holes in the paper, and also punched two holes in the new stack of Lepinghou paper.
Fu Shou was still a little confused about Qiao Yan's intention, but when he saw her taking out a rope to tie him up together, he suddenly understood what she meant.
Qiao Yan said, "It is inevitable that there will be additions and mergers in the records of rivers and mountains. Since we are going to do it, we will make it perfect. If there are additions, we can just tear them down and put them here."
The subtext of this statement is that he agreed to her self-recommendation!
Fu Shou thanked Qiao Yan while holding her new notebook, and solemnly promised that she would never hold her back.
Anyway, those farmland planning things will naturally be done by people who specialize in the field. She just went there to take advantage of the situation and make sure that everything on the new land can be recorded first.
She was busy trying to find the leader of this operation to report, but suddenly she heard Qiao Yan ask, "Have you got permission from the Princess? Don't use my permission to put pressure on others."
"How can that be possible!" Fu Shou replied confidently, "My mother said that I should learn from Sister Zhaoji so that it would be worthy of our trip to Bingzhou."
Qiao Yan took the opportunity to ask, "What is the princess doing now?"
"I'm telling you this in secret. Don't tell anyone else." Fu Shou leaned close to her and whispered, "Mother, several princess sisters, and the palace maids they brought with them all said a few days after arriving in Bingzhou that they didn't know what to do here. If they just seek shelter here, they will inevitably end up eating up all the food they have."
The princesses of the Han Dynasty still had some character.
Or maybe it was because the emperor was unreliable, and as a daughter she could only try her best to support herself.
Moreover, because of the previous Luoyang Nangong Incident and the subsequent Dong Zhuo's chaotic rule, they have become more and more aware that their status as princesses has no advantages at all. Especially in the current situation where the Han Dynasty is divided into two.
"My mother was thinking about what they were good at - they were definitely not good at farming. Even someone like me who only grew mustard greens could do it better than them."
Her complaint made Qiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't laugh, sister. It's true. But mother has done some research on clothing matching and the secret recipes of the palace to maintain skin quality. Although having enough food is a priority, we noticed when we walked around Jinyang that the sales of those jewelry shops are still considerable." Fu Shou said, "So they plan to try to buy a shop first. Sister, can you charge less tax?"
It’s not easy to start a business.
Qiao Yan patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "Then use your labor to offset the taxes."
"......?" Fu Shou always felt as if she had signed some strange indenture, but before she could protest, she was sent out the door by Qiao Yan.
After thinking about it, Fu Shou decided that she should not be considered a laborer at the moment, and it would be more appropriate to call her a student. She dispelled this doubt and went to report to the terrain exploration team with a simple version of the loose-leaf book. However, she did not see the satisfied smile on Qiao Yan's face after she closed the door.
She was naturally happy to see that these Han Palace princesses could find a job to do, rather than enjoying the stable environment brought by Yu Leping while becoming a limiting factor for her.
The idea that women can do anything has been conveyed in Bingzhou since the Black Mountain bandits were recruited, and this was also reflected in the welcoming team that came to Bingzhou from Luoyang.
It now seems that this top-down communication has produced some gratifying results.
Qiao Yan doesn't have to worry about those Han princesses, let alone Ma Lun.
Liu Yuanzhuo, who proposed the Qianxiang calendar, arrived in Bingzhou earlier than Ma Lun. Under Qiao Yan's instructions, a special person had already built a place for him to continue observing astronomy and deduce the calendar.
Liu Yuanzhuo was quite satisfied with the cement warehouse that stored confidential data. After Ma Lun and those assistants who were good at calculations arrived, he immediately started working.
The only regret for them is that the Lingtai in Luoyang has a natural advantage for tools like the seismometer, but now it has been moved to another place. Even if a new hollow platform is built for testing, some adjustments need to be made to see whether it can achieve the original effect.
This place, named the Astronomical Calendar Observatory by Qiao Yan, not only provided a celestial sphere rebuilt from metal materials, but also an enlarged version of the telescope.
This is almost the maximum size that can be polished from the crystal minerals that the Mi family in the East China Sea can find.
As for the specific observation results and whether the lens needs to be adjusted, that is what professionals like Liu Yuanzhuo and Ma Lun should do. In short, all Qiao Yan can do is to provide support. Anyway, the craftsmen are nearby, so let them negotiate.
This is really not a useless thing.
The mathematics and machinery developed around astronomy and arithmetic will sooner or later play a role in promoting productivity in Bingzhou.
Qiao Yan has high hopes for Ma Jun, who has not yet officially started his career, because his inventions in military siege equipment are truly unique.
The further improvement of the astronomical calendar is to guide the accuracy of agricultural production, which is also something that must be evolved under this social form.
She thought that when Ma Jun's inventions increased, she would rename the Astronomical and Calendar Observatory as the Academy of Sciences, which sounded more like it would be incorporated into the Leping Academy to build an academic and learning environment in Leping.
Ma Lun had no objection to the name change plan she had proposed in advance. To her, moving from Luoyang to Bingzhou was at most just a change of research location, and the people around her would still be the same people.
Of course, for Bi Lan and Ren Hong, this was a life that was completely unimaginable before.
Take Bi Lan as an example. He doesn't have to think about how to get along with his colleagues today, or what kind of tricks and tricks he should come up with to please His Majesty and consolidate his position.
It was Qiao Yan who assigned him the task, so he had to do whatever he thought would make him famous in history.
At this time, Ren Hong was led by Ma Lun to transition from his original state of recognizing words and reading books to this new field of research. At the beginning, he was really a little at a loss.
Fortunately, she has always been bold and careful, and after a month of practice, she gradually got into the state.
She thought to herself that she must live up to the name "Hong" bestowed upon her by the Lord, and she became more determined to work hard.
But speaking of it, they were calculating the four seasons based on the star tracks, and the wild geese were also flying in the sky, which was quite appropriate.
It’s a pity that this future academy of sciences is also built in Leping, so she can’t ask Qiao Yan whether he had the same idea when he named it.
Qiao Yan also had no plans to urge the progress here for the time being.
It was already a stroke of luck that she was able to move almost the entire Taishiling organization here, leaving nothing for the two emperors in the east and west. But we can't expect them to come up with any amazing results within one or two years.
Compared to these, the news that reached her first was, of course, the news from Liangzhou.
A month after Fu Gan went to deliver the letter, he finally returned to Bingzhou and stood in front of Qiao Yan.
The running around in Liangzhou during the past month made him look extremely tired, and his face looked exhausted. However, in his expression which had become increasingly indifferent since Fu Xie's death, it was not difficult to see a hint of the spirit to break the ice.
"What does General Huangfu say?" Qiao Yan motioned for him to sit down before talking.
Fu Gan took a breath and replied, "When I delivered the letter to General Huangfu's camp, Dong Zhuo's imperial edict to appoint Ma Teng and Han Sui as generals also arrived in Liangzhou, along with an order to summon General Huangfu to the capital. Fortunately, your letter arrived first, and General Huangfu did not agree immediately. He just said that he had to supervise the movements of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and asked Huangfu Jianshou to come to the capital to reply. Dong Zhuo did not dare to act rashly at this time, and Huangfu Jianshou had an old relationship with him, so he did not bother the general for the time being."
"Ma Teng and Han Sui are in some trouble. When Dong Zhuo's decree first arrived in Liang Province, the two quarreled over who was more powerful, the front general or the left general. There were some conflicts between the two, and Han Sui had a history of annexing the troops of Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, so it's not surprising that they turned against each other."
"But they obviously knew that if they united, they could fight against the Han army, but if they were divided, they would be defeated one by one. General Huangfu tried to move his troops towards Hanyang, and as soon as he made some signs, the two sides immediately shook hands and made peace, and announced it to the public."
"So General Huangfu asked me to deliver the message. At this moment, he can only see how he can merge with the Lord. Before that, he will not act rashly, and will never give those two the opportunity to defeat him first."
Fu Gan took out a letter from his arms and handed it towards Qiao Yan.
This was Huangfu Song’s reply to Qiao Yan.
He had spent half his life in the military and had always been vigorous and resolute, yet there were only a few numbers in this letter.
[Five years have passed in a flash. I look forward to fighting side by side with you.] 】
