Chapter 188 Smoke! (2/4)
The people are spiritual and the world are wild, and the scales are towering in the mountains. The top

Looking from afar, Tonozawa is like a crystal mirror, an endless mirror.
But the closer we are to Guzang, the smaller the mirror of Tonoze became. Finally, when Cao Chong was at the gate of Guzang City, Tonoze completely disappeared.
In fact, it is 280 miles northeast of Guzang. Cao Chong could see it from afar. It was because Cao Chong was located in a relatively high terrain and why Duye Ze was big enough.
In the 13th year of Jian'an, there was no industrial revolution or material desire, so nature was still blue sky and white clouds. Even though Cao Chong stood in a place where it could be said to be a desert in later generations, now it is a place of abundant water and grass, with cattle and sheep in herds. Not far away, there are even tenants who are farming in large areas.
Whether it is the pattern of the city gate or the farming technology, it is no different from that of the Kanto region. From this perspective, Liangzhou has indeed been assimilated by the Han people.
Cao Chong's army gathered outside Guzang City like a torrent of steel, and then stood silently outside Guzang City.
The southern gate of Guzang is five feet high, towering like a cloud. Looking up from the city, you feel that you are small. The soldiers standing on the city wall are like a small black dot when seen by the people under the city.
However, when there are more people under the city, just like the 13,000 people behind Cao Chong, the five-meter-high city wall has become irrelevant.
On the contrary, it seems a little small in front of 13,000 people.
Among the people who went out to greet Cao Chong, many of them swallowed secretly, obviously they were deeply impressed by the majestic military posture of 13,000 people brought by Cao Chong, especially the five hundred heavy armored cavalry beside Cao Chong, with black and silver heavy armor as ferocious as a devil.
Many people have seen heavy armored soldiers, but few of them have seen such heavy armored cavalry.
Especially such heavy armored cavalry not only had heavy armor, but only two black eyes were exposed on their bodies, but even the horses under them were wearing armor.
Who has ever seen such heavy armored cavalry?
And the most terrifying thing is that such heavy armored cavalry are not one or two, but a black and silver piece, which looks like there are hundreds or thousands of cavalrymen.
Everyone present was sighing at the power of the heavy armored cavalry. Some people also looked at the essence through things and knew that the price represented by this set of armor was definitely more than 100 gold. However, people at higher levels knew that Cao Chong was killing the chicken to warn the monkey, just like the four people standing in front of Cao Chong.
Jia Quan, Duan Cheng, Zhang Shu, Cao Song.
Jia Quan is the representative of the Jia family of Guzang, Duan Cheng is the representative of the Duan family of Guzang, and Cao Song is the leader of the Cao family of Wuwei.
There is only Jia Quan. Zhang Shu is not the head of the aristocratic family. Jia Quan is Jia Xu's nephew and has great abilities. Zhang Shu is the younger brother of Zhang Qian, the one who is a master of the Zhang family, who is the master of the great-eared Zhang Qian. It is said that he has some abilities.
Cao Chong has seen all the portraits of these people, so he doesn’t know who and whom after seeing them for the first time.
"Jia Quan (Duan Cheng, Zhang Shu, Cao Song) has met Junhou."
The four of them saluted Cao Chong one after another. It was obvious that the formation Cao Chong had set up really made these people dare not underestimate him.
Instead, he was trembling.
"Please ask me to come up. Although I am the governor of the state, I have just come here after all. I don't know much about the situation in Liangzhou. I will need your attention in the future."
Jia Quan, Duan Cheng, Zhang Shu, Cao Song nodded four times, and for a moment he was not stingy with Cao Chong's praise.
"Forget it, everyone, since you have arrived in Guzang, you must have a place to settle down first?"
Jia Quan nodded and hurriedly said to Cao Chong: "June, my subordinates have prepared a good mansion for you. Now you have prepared wine and food there. Please move forward."
Cao Chong nodded, just about to agree, but Duan Cheng, who didn't want to be in front of Cao Chong, spoke.
"Junhou, the lower ministers have also prepared a good house for you. There are not only wine and food, but also beauties and actors. Junhou will definitely like it when he comes."
Cao Chong was slightly stunned and then started to laugh on his lips.
"It's okay, since you are so enthusiastic, it's better for me to accept both of you. Otherwise, if you don't have your kindness, Kurashu will feel sorry for you."
After Cao Chong said this, Jia Quan and Duan Chengdu had no objection.
"Since that's the case, Jun and Hou will go to Dongcheng with me."
"No, Junhou wants to go to the northern city with me."
Dongcheng is the power of the Jia family, the north city is the power of Duan Cheng, and the west city is the power of the Cao family. Only Nancheng is ignored, but it is covered with the minions of the three families.
From the conversation between Jia Quan and Duan Cheng, it is not difficult to see the battle between the two forces.
Cao Song was quietly talking. The real powerful forces in Guzang were the Jia family and Duan family. As for the Cao family, it seemed like they were living in the cracks.
This seems a little inconsistent with his previous information.
But Cao Chong also smiled and took it over.
"Forget it, don't argue with me. You guys will send me the house. I am happy. I know your thoughts. As for where to eat, it will be up to me to decide."
Jia Quan and Cao Song looked at each other and nodded at the end.
"It depends entirely on the Lord and Marquis."
Cao Chong smiled and said, "It's better to go to the provincial and ministerial palace to drink together. I see that there are some gaps between you two. If I go to the northern city, Prefect Jia is unwilling to go. If I go to the eastern city, Duan Chanjun is unwilling to go. Why don't you go to the provincial and ministerial palace directly and drink together? I don't know what the chief clerk of Cao and Zhangxianzun think?"
In the Wuwei, Jia Quan was the prefect, Duan Cheng was the army, Cao Song was the chief clerk, and Zhang Shu was the magistrate of Zuwan County.
The official positions of the four people are different, but now the four people can stand together not only because of their official positions, but the aristocratic family behind the official positions.
Although the strengths of the four four companies are different, the difference is also between 30, 40, 40, 50, and 50. There is no abnormal difference.
Jia Quan and Duan Cheng thought for a while, then said to Cao Chong: "What Junhou said is that we will go to the provincial governor's mansion."
Jia Quan and Duan Cheng spoke, and Zhang Shu and Cao Song also responded.
So Cao Chong, with a thousand personal soldiers, already 500 armored, guarding Cao Chong, Zhen Mi and Guan Yinping, slowly entered Guzang City.
There are no special tall buildings in Guzang City, which look a bit simple and unpretentious, but there are more people coming and going than in places like Tianshui County.
Although hundreds of miles east of Guzang City are the Xianbei Hexi who eats raw meat and drinks blood, there are not only three major families in Guzang City, but also 30,000 soldiers.
He was not afraid of the Xianbei Huns at all.
Cao Chong rode on the road in Guzang City on a horse, but his thoughts kept flying.
Whether it is the smoke they are going to make or the smoke created by Cao Chong, they have slowly risen.
It's like the curtain of a big show.
