When Mu Jing heard this, he just smiled faintly, Xi Zhicai was so smart, he had already guessed the purpose of his trip from looking at those Qiang people twice.

That's right, he came for the Qiang tribe.

The Qiang people, this is the henchman of Liangzhou during the Han Dynasty, comparable to the Xiongnu on the grassland, the nomadic clan of Xianbei, and even more than that, and the people who control the strings and armor add up to hundreds of thousands.

This is also Dong Zhuo's biggest reliance.

Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang, but since he was a child, he was the master of Jishi Mountain, the holy land of the Qiang people, he has been friendly with the Qiang tribe since he was a child, and he also let the Dong clan marry some tribes.

Playing Chang'an, Mu Jing doesn't have much confidence, and he can copy Dong Zhuo's back road, Mu Jing still thinks it's possible.

Of course, he wouldn't say this in front of Shen and Zhao Yu.

This is a secret, the highest strategic deployment secret of the Ming Hou Mansion.

So he behaved very calmly, he ignored Xi Zhicai, and continued to go to the market, the market was very large, full of people, there were many stalls, there were shops, people came and went, forming a cross street.

And there are a lot of caravans that go here to trade, there are four or five caravans they see alone, and there are some ordinary merchant ships moored on the shore, obviously there are caravans who take the waterway to exchange goods here.

"Yu County Order, I walked all the way and found that there are a lot of Qiang people, do you allow Qiang people to enter in Chuyang?"

Xi Zhicai asked suddenly.

"Report to the drama Sima, this is allowed!"

Yu Shen said: "This is a rule that has been left by the previous dynasty, it has been hundreds of years, because we are close to the Qiang tribe in Chuyang, and the court thought that communicating with each other can bring in the relationship between the two sides, even if the Qiang people rebelled back then, this city gate has not been closed to them!" ”

"They don't make trouble?" Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Naturally, there is trouble!"

Yu Shen said: "But there are also thieves and assassins in Chuyang, and they are not allowed to enter with weapons on the city gate, so there have only been some Qiang people who have made small troubles over the years, and there has not been much of a problem!" ”

He was a county lieutenant at the beginning, and these thankless things were originally under his management, so he was familiar with them.

"Isn't it!"

Mu Jing suddenly said: "Wasn't it these Qiang people who made trouble in the previous chaos in Chuyang, and they almost had to send an army to suppress it, didn't they?" ”

Mu Jing entered Hanzhong, and successively pacified the various counties in Hanzhong, and at this time, the chaos that caused in Weiyang, although he secretly commanded those Hanzhong families, but the name on the surface was the Qiang tribe.

"That's something that subordinates can't manage!"

Yu Shen smiled, a little embarrassed, he naturally knew that from beginning to end, there was a rebellion that someone could cause, affecting the whole city, and the purpose was to put pressure on the new lord of Hanzhong.

"Sihai, it's your responsibility, you carry it, it's not yours, Ben Hou is not a foolish person, so I won't let you bear it!"

Mu Jing patted him lightly on the shoulder: "But you have to be careful in the future, this thing can't happen a second time, Weiyang is adjacent to Wudu and Guanghan, belongs to the intersection of the three counties, and the waterway is smooth, the water can be passed through the Qiang water, and the Han River can be entered, this will definitely be the place where the caravans of all parties are entrenched in the future, you can manage it well in the future, Ben Hou is still waiting for this place to become my money bag!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Yu Shen's eyes swept across the market, he suddenly understood the purpose of Mu Jing's trip, he took a deep breath, and said: "In the future, my subordinates should vigorously develop the advantages of the geographical location of Chuyang, attract caravans from all sides, and communicate with each other!" ”

"You're smart!"

Mu Jing smiled: "But just like that, it's not enough, this is Chuyang, or the western barrier of Nanzheng, it's not good to say, if you take refuge in Wudu or Guanghan, open the gate of Chuyang, the west gate of my Hanzhong will be occupied by people without much effort!" ”

"My subordinates will never dare!"

Yu Shen's pupils changed color, he was covered in cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed his head and said word by word.

"Get up!"

Mu Jing helped him up and said with a smile: "Just kidding, it was Ben Hou himself who proposed to put you in the position of county order, and Ben Hou should trust you!" ”

That's what it means to beat.

Yu Shen is a local faction, a local squire, and there is a connection between him and the family, but he also represents his own interests, it is not good to say, the position of the county order is one, since he has sat on it, why bother to be a dog.

"Thank you for your trust, your subordinates should do their best in the future to guard this city of Yang for the prince!" Yu Shen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his long sleeves, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"That's great!"

Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder, and looked at Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Shenshu on the left, this is a person who has been sitting on the cold board for a long time, knows how to advance and retreat, and acts cautiously.

"Zhao Xiancheng, what do you think of this Chuyang?" Mu Jing asked.

"Back to the prince, Chuyang is a big city, the land is rare fertile in Hanzhong, and there is a lot of population, which means that there is a lot of labor, but here is the gathering of the four directions, the fish and dragons are mixed, for peace and stability, when the garrison is strengthened, it can develop steadily!"

Zhao Yu said.

"Zhicai, do you hear it!" Mu Jing said jokingly: "Everyone knows that Zhao County knows that soldiers and horses should be stationed here, and you are a Hou Mansion Sima who is in charge of the army, but he has never deployed at all, so I can't say it!" ”

"You were the one who said you wouldn't garrison the army, and you were the one who said you wanted to garrison!"

Xi Zhicai was speechless: "It seems that the prince is betting on me, the Hou Mansion Sima, and the general of the army has opinions, how wrong is it!" ”

It's not that they don't garrison troops, they must garrison troops here, to prevent Wudu, Wudu is now stationed with Zhang Ji's elite Xiliang soldiers, and there will be a fight sooner or later, if there is no garrison here, it is equivalent to an empty door.

However, in order to stabilize the wealthy families in Hanzhong, as a place for the two sides to clash, they were naturally afraid, so Mu Jing ordered to suspend the garrison.

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jing laughed and watched Xi Zhicai deflated, which was also a pleasant thing.

After they inspected the market, they walked along most of the city, the most important thing in the pastoral scene is to look at the cultivated land, and Xi Zhicai is more concerned about the terrain, the terrain in the city, and the terrain outside the city, all of which the garrison needs to know.

In the evening, the sun shines.

Mu Jing and Xi Zhicai returned to the post station, and Yu Shen and Zhao Yu, who had accompanied them for a day, bowed their hands and bowed, said goodbye and left, returned to the county office, and digested the news they got that day.

In this era, two meals are the most important, morning food and evening food, when you go out, the evening meal is also very simple, rice, two side dishes, ordinary, to cope with the past.

After the meal, it was nightfall.

In the wing, the oil lamp was lit, and Mu Jing and Xi Zhicai sat opposite each other.

"What do you want to do?"

Xi Zhicai couldn't figure out Mu Jing's thoughts.

"How about sending troops to Jishi Mountain and copying his Dong Zhuo's back road?" Mu Jing shrugged his shoulders and said in a somewhat joking tone.

Jishi Mountain, the origin of the Qiang people, is also the holy land of the Qiang tribe, for the Qiang people, it is equivalent to the court of the Central Plains, who controls the Jishi Mountain, who is the king of the Qiang people, the king of the Qiang.

"Your heart is too big, isn't it?"

Xi Zhicai frowned: "This is impossible, although I also know that we are not in a good situation now, there are too few ways out, going north and south, there are many passes, but the west is not a way out, even if he Dong Zhuo has no time to take care of us now, but those fierce generals in Xiliang will not be able to see us attacking the Qiang tribe, even more, if we send troops, we must go through the Wudu, and we must guard against the Guanghan in the south, if he Liu Yan knows that he can stab us, there will be no hesitation, and then we will really suffer from the enemy!" “

He paused, and then said: "The most important thing is that the Qiang people are unruly and brazen in combat, with our troops, we dare not send more troops, and if we send fewer troops, it is equivalent to sending them food, which is a thankless thing!" ”

"So unfavorable?"

Mu Jing squinted.

"Very unfavorable!" Xi Zhicai nodded seriously.
