With the five hundred men brought by Gou Tianming, the caravan's guards immediately became rich. Coupled with Su Ren's three hundred and the manpower organized by the merchants themselves, the escort of this caravan reached an unprecedented 1,000 people. In this way, a thousand men who have always been well-armed and fierce will have no problem fighting, let alone escorting a caravan of more than a hundred vehicles.

The robbers are also very familiar with each other's laughter, they are all smart people, the fate of the flower horse is very miserable, and now it is still standing on the official road next to Chen Cang, no matter who passes by from where will unconsciously bypass a little. Because the death is so miserable, a wooden stick one zhang long, after being sharpened, comes out of the mouth from the **, looks like a roar from the sky, and stares at the eyes with a long mouth. According to rumors, the flower horse wailed for a long time before dying, and no one wants to be the second to die in such a way.

The road from Chencang to Jincheng went exceptionally smoothly. Jincheng County is an authentic border county. Theoretically, this is the land of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty does not have a garrison here. After entering the city, you will find a strange situation, the people of Jincheng are mainly Han people, but the county soldiers are Qiang people, and the most outrageous thing is that the officials who built the government and collected taxes turned out to be Huns.

Jincheng is divided into four parts by two roads, and the southeast corner is inhabited by the Huns, which is a place belonging to the ya. Everyone here lives happily, everyone has a smile on their faces, and everyone bends down to give their way wherever they pass. In the southwest corner was the barracks, where about 300 Qiang were stationed, and they were the only armed forces in Jincheng, responsible for policing and securing the city. The northwest is a vacant land, where merchants from the south and north occupy it, and it is also the most lively place in the entire Golden City.

The northeast corner is the most dilapidated place in Jincheng, almost all the people of Jincheng live here, these people have a sad face, not to mention their clothes in tatters, some families don't even have a thatched hut to live in, no matter spring or summer, they can only lie on the ground. Neither the Huns nor the Qiang people have a good face for these people, and no one cares if they are scolded lightly, or killed at the worst, because they have a common name, the Han people.

When Su Ren's caravan came to Jincheng, the people of Jincheng were taken aback. Seeing the billowing dust and thousands of soldiers and horses from a distance, the Xiongnu Taishou Munata of Jincheng County was ready to escape. As the Xiongnu Hutu King's cronies who stayed in Jincheng, his role is to be an eye in this place where the three and the three families are in charge, Mu Nata naturally knows that this eye is not good, no matter which side wants to take Jincheng, he has to quickly send the news to the Hutu King, and then die in Jincheng.

Munata is the Taishou of Jincheng, but he has no right to mobilize the Qiang soldiers, so he can only watch the mighty team come to the city, and still has not reached an agreement with the Qiang people to jointly defend Jincheng. So he made a good plan, that is, to leave as soon as possible, he has earned enough pension capital in Jincheng over the years, as long as he goes back alive and hands over a large part to King Hutu, he will not have any responsibility.

But Munata didn't go far before he was overtaken by the cavalry. The fat Munata could no longer ride a horse, and the consequences of riding a cart were naturally not as fast as a horse, not to mention that he still carried countless treasures.

When the Han people at the bottom found out that it was the Han people who entered the city, the people who had been used to being oppressed broke out completely in an instant. None of the Huns succeeded, and they did not even escape from the clutches of the Han with the Qiang people. The Han people do not lack blood, what they lack is faith. The arrival of Su Ren and his huge caravan gave these oppressed Han people strong self-confidence, so they would burst out with unprecedented power.

The most famous example in history is Ban Chao, who created a one-man destruction of the country that has never been seen before. When Ban Chao took a few followers to kill in the Western Regions, no one dared to touch him, whether it was the powerful Western Regions countries or the brave Northern Huns, because of the strong backing of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Only after a country is rich and strong, even a powerless scholar dares to charge towards a country with millions of soldiers, which is the power and self-confidence of the backing.

The flying banner of Chinese characters was personally planted by Su Ren at the head of Jincheng City, which is a historical progress and a declaration that the Han Dynasty is ready for war. Su Ren thought that he had the confidence to stop Jincheng back into the arms of the Han Dynasty, and made the Han people living in Jincheng raise their eyebrows.

Munata was very arrogant, although his legs were weak with fright, but the pride of the Huns made him raise his head high: "The shameless Han people dare to sneak attack Jincheng, so I am not afraid that my Hun Hugh Tu King will enter Chang'an, and ask your emperor who is the master of Jincheng?" ”

Before Su Ren could speak, Hawking kicked Munata over and stepped on his back, pushing Munata's head into the mud. Munata gasped, blowing up the dust from the ground with each exhale, and the saliva in his mouth soon mixed with the dust, and his face was full of mush. Su Ren waved his hand and asked Hawking to let go of Munata. When Munata raised his head, his nose was already crooked, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, which showed how heavy Hawking's foot was just now.

"King Hugh Tu? Didn't he take part in the war of the Huns? Su Ren looked at Munata.

Munata spat out the blood in his mouth, and wanted to curse, but when he saw Hawking's eyes, he swallowed back the words that followed. Su Ren smiled: "If you want to scold, scold, when you are caught, you should know that your death is coming, if you don't take advantage of this time to scold a few sentences, there will be no chance, it is not easy to find a person who can speak Chinese among the Huns, you are the most fluent one I have ever seen." ”

Munata was silent. Su Ren asked again: "Ask again, didn't King Hutu participate in the war of the Xiongnu?" ”

Munata shook his head: "King Hutu's mission is to garrison the west, as long as you Han people dare to step into the Western Regions, the only end is death." ”

"Oh, so the Hugh Tu King has already entered the war? It seems that the battle between Yi Zhiyi and Yu Dan is very fierce, as far as I know, the royal court of King Hutu is further west, Yi Zhiyi really has some means, I guess he already knows that we will come, right? ”

"We are alone in ......"

Su Ren waved his hand, and without waiting for Munata to speak, he gave Hawking a look: "This person can die, he pretends to be tough, then let him be tough, and leave their heads alive to send to King Hutu's account." ”

Munata was dragged out, and the leader of the Qiang was brought in. He had been brought in after he had stood outside watching Munata be decapitated, and his face was covered in sweat when he came in. He had not seen the bravery of the Han people, but he had heard that the reason for the endless wars in Xiqiang was because of the Han people. Although their tribe's territory was still far away from that place, when he saw the Han people coming, there were always images of fierce battles flashing in his mind, whether it was intuition or speculation.

Su Ren was very polite to this Qiang man, not only giving him a seat but also bringing him exquisite food. When the Qiang leader's ass had just touched the chair, a piece of white silk that had been temporarily torn from the Shu brocade hung around his neck. The frightened Qiang man thought that the Han people were going to strangle him to death, so he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The Qiang people are not afraid of the Han people, but this Qiang people are afraid of death. For thousands of years, the Qiang people lived in a miserable place, and in their custom only brave warriors could survive, and those who were cowardly and afraid of death would be ridiculed for their weakness by tying fox tails around their necks. But the Qiang people who stayed in Jincheng had become accustomed to a life of fine clothes and food, and they were no longer willing to return to the precarious days, so they became weak.

Jincheng is a border city, and although the status of the Han people is underground, it is better than the large population. The advantage of a large population is that it affects the people around you all the time, even if you are a high-ranking city lord, after decades or hundreds of years, you will move closer to the Han people in habits, lifestyles and even thoughts. This is also the second reason why the Qiang people, who were originally brave and good at fighting, were frightened by death.

The words of the tongue man were translated very slowly, he could not understand the language of the Qiang people, and he could only communicate with the leader of the Qiang people in the Xiongnu language, and two and a half bottles of water were talked about like this. Su Ren was extremely happy when he learned that the Qiang tribe had all lived around Jincheng, and hoped that this guy in front of him could introduce the leader of their tribe and do some business by the way.

No matter how you say that Jincheng is still a border city, or a border city abandoned by the Han Dynasty, whether it is the Han people living here, the Qiang people, or the Huns, their lives are still not as comfortable as the Han people in Chencang. The shortage of materials is the biggest problem in this border city. It stands to reason that the Qiang people control salt for thousands of miles near Qinghai Lake, but what they lack most is salt.

When Su Ren promised to exchange the furs and gems in their hands for salt, the Qiang people's courage immediately increased. Spread out his hands and bend down to salute: "Honorable Han General, as long as you are really willing to exchange salt with us, I can promise on behalf of our tribe that your caravan can pass through Jincheng County safely." ”

"Blind medicine my friend, I believe in your guarantee very much, as a testimony to our friendship, I will reward you, please don't dislike it, you must accept it, this is a gift between friends!" Su Ren held a bag of salt in both hands and gave the blind medicine, and the blind medicine respectfully accepted it, and gave a salute again, promising to let the leader come to Jincheng.

Seeing the blind medicine happily come out of Su Ren's big tent, Chen Jiao looked at Su Ren suspiciously: "They are all of different races, why do you favor one over the other?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "People are different, not to mention two races, the knowledge here is great, you can learn slowly!" ”

Chen Jiao thought for a long time and still shook her head and said that she didn't understand it, and Su Ren didn't explain too much, so she ordered Hawking to take people to arrest all the Huns in Jincheng and hang them, and drop their bodies on the city wall. At the same time, it was strictly ordered to harass the Qiang people, as long as these Qiang people were honest, they would not disturb their lives, and even sent part of the grain in the treasury to the Qiang people's station, which was generous beyond the expectations of the Qiang people, and it was completely a hospitable host's courtesy to friends who came from afar, which instantly made the Qiang people's goodwill towards the Han people rise to a notch.
