Zhang Yuan dressed up in disguise, took Xue Xiuji and a few personal guards out of the pass, the pass is more lively than a day, especially these days, the death of Wuliang Hetai has brought a great blow to the morale of the Yuan army, when people are panicking, the Yuan army everywhere either has the intention of planning a retreat, or wants to make friends with other forces, or is unable to intercept, no matter what, more and more missions who are looking for opportunities around have seen the opportunity to sneak in.

"Today seems to be better than yesterday, and there are probably a lot of people coming!" Zhang Yuan said to Xue Xiuji.

Xue Xiuji sent away one of his subordinates, and when he heard the words, he said: "Son, there are enough teams today, there are not many people, but they add up to a lot, plus many people have fled here, in a few days, I am afraid that this Lingkou Pass will not be able to accommodate it at all!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Yuan looked at the people who were helping the old and the young on the side of the avenue, dragging their families and families, and many begging beggars, nodded and said: "After two days, the soldiers have rested, then open and close the door, these people should also be settled, every day of delay will be a loss for my Xihe!" ”

The territory of Xihe is not large, but it is not small, especially Dingzhou, which has just been occupied, and it is extremely lacking in population.

And everywhere has to use money, all have to invest, even if they have made money in everything, money is still tight, so Zhang Yuan plans to use the resurrection flag, the idea of resurrecting the people to increase the population can only be temporarily put aground, these living people income migration is difficult, but the cost is much cheaper.

Among them, the largest consumption required for migration is only grain and grass, because the Xihe army is in a hurry. The Yuan Dynasty simply did not have time to deal with the military rations that had just been shipped from various places to several states near Hanzhou. At the same time, every time the Xihe army conquered the city, it was also able to seize a large number of supplies from the hands of foreign tyrants or merchants in various places.

Yes. Weapons may be a little tight, but there is definitely no shortage of food and grass.

"Xihe will be led by the lord and become a dragon and tiger!" Xue Xiuji whispered beside Zhang Yuan.

"You......!"

Zhang Yuan felt goosebumps, but he couldn't blame Xue Xiuji, in fact, Xihe had developed to this point in less than two years. If you don't have a little pride in your heart, it's impossible.

At this time, many consortia were still throwing money at developing their power and taking advantage of the situation to revolt. But he wandered in the abyss of failure again and again. More consortia and groups choose to develop steadily and steadily in the relatively stable empire, weaving a network of relationships and contacts. I don't know how much money was invested. Every step of development is like encountering a bottleneck, and it is difficult to expand.

Only Zhang Yuan, all the way like a bamboo, not only his own power is steady, deep-rooted, after the separation, the four sides of the conquest are invincible, and in a blink of an eye, the distance from other forces has been opened. has been ridden in the dust, and there is quite a posture of pulling farther and farther. How can this not make people feel proud?

Of course, Zhang Yuan also knew that now was not the time to be proud, his eyes were not limited to this, the domestic melee to expand the territory was not what he wanted, and after the split of the Han Dynasty, his resentment against Liu Bang also dissipated. At this time, he wanted to be the first person to start a national war, so that the war of the century would come earlier.

"Childe, Ming Yuzhen and his party live here?"

Stopping and stopping along the way, Zhang Yuan also had a preliminary impression of the market town that had developed under the pass.

Simple, dirty, poor, and luxurious.

This is a place completely made of money, simple houses, full of refugee people, a small number of envoys in brocade clothes and horses, and most of the people on the avenue are all patched, yellow-skinned, without vegetables, wandering aimlessly.

'Need to hurry!' ’

Zhang Yuan didn't like these very much, but he also knew that the top priority was to deal with those envoys before he could relocate these people who had fled here. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause unrest among the people, and the Yuan army spies in the envoy group are afraid that they will also expect this, and when the time comes, it will sow discord and cause riots, no matter how much damage it will cause to the Heroes Conference, or how much impact it will have on Xihe's reputation, it is unpredictable.

"Xihe Zhang Yuan came to visit, there are many disturbances, please forgive me!"

After crossing the avenue, I walked for about five or six minutes to the place where Ming Yuzhen was stationed, a wooden house, surrounded by tents, and beyond the tent was a simple side fence, no different from where the other envoys lived.

This is the place where Xue Xiuji temporarily built it and separated the envoys who rushed here.

In general, in order to facilitate management and avoid conflicts, emissaries with more than five people were not allowed to live in houses on both sides of the avenue.

For Xihe's domineering, other forces can only 'swallow their anger'.

"Expedition" is a world where strength is king, the Mongols are powerful, the Yuan Dynasty was established, and the Han people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and even groveled to the knees.

And the whole world, how much more than this one? The whip of the god of the Huns hit Europe, how many races surrendered and did not dare to complain, the Mongols crisscrossed the world, slaughtered cities and destroyed countless countries, but they never missed the servant army!

"It's coming, so fast!"

After Ming Yuzhen heard the voice, he stood up suddenly, when he saw the messenger of Xihe last night, he had a premonition that Zhang Yuan might come to see him, but he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to come so quickly.

"It's coming so fast, I'm afraid it's not because of Fang Xingru, then, there's only one possibility...... Chen Youliang! "Ming Yuzhen is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not have become a generation of emperors in history.

Although there is a lot of time to create heroes, it has to be heroes.

"Foreign Minister Ming Yuzhen has seen the King of Xihe!" Ming Yuzhen went out, her heart was in a hurry, but her steps were not slow, for fear of snubbing Zhang Yuan and angering Zhang Yuan.

"King of the West River......!"

Zhang Yuan was a little stunned, and then he didn't take it to heart, he had heard all kinds of titles, although the title of King of Xihe was the first time, but think about it, although Zhang Yuan was not called the king, but what is the difference between his current territory and strength?

And Xihe does not have a general name for the outside world, but as Xihe City, where Zhang Yuan raised his troops, the people of Xihe have an unusually intimate sense of the name Xihe, so they also acquiesce to the external name of the forces...... West River!

"Are you Ming Yuzhen? Something I didn't expect! Zhang Yuan originally thought that Ming Yuzhen was also a person with outstanding appearance, even if he was not handsome, at least he was wonderful, but Ming Yuzhen was very ordinary, like an old farmer in his thirties and forties, lost in the crowd of "Expedition", which was inconspicuous.

"Ming Yuzhen was still farming in the ground three years ago, and there is no land to cultivate, so there is now!"

The difference between the status of Ming Yuzhen and Zhang Yuan made him not feel any sense of humiliation when facing Zhang Yuan, but he wanted to leave a good impression in Zhang Yuan's heart, knowing that he couldn't reply honestly, but he couldn't tell lies, he was also a bold person, although he didn't find out Zhang Yuan's character, but he felt that his personality was changeable, so he laughed at himself.
