Through Time Chapter 223

After playing Ohio, Zhao Lang felt refreshed.

Even the regret of not being able to kill Boldon was much diminished.

I don’t know how it happened, but every time I fought Oi, I felt quite upbeat.

For the rest of the day, Zhao Lang spent most of his time arranging the defence.

Sure enough, the Xiongnu cavalry entered Yunzhong County along other gaps, although the Qin cavalry also struck and killed quite a few men.

But it was still inevitable that many losses were incurred.

Fortunately, on the one hand, there was Shu Sun Tong to relieve the people.

On the other hand, Zhao Lang also had the sons of farming families who had entered Yunzhong County to help the farmers.

The peasants were barely able to get by.

There was always no chance of starvation or freezing to death.

At the same time expanding their influence.

Already now many farmers know that the new chief of the farming family is hanging on to them in his heart.

This was the effect that Zhao Lang wanted.

Of course, it was not without a price.

Half of the 20,000 taels of gold that his old man had only put on the estate had been squandered by him.

When he felt the cold stream rolling in from the north, Zhao Lang also realised that his first winter, was coming.

“I don’t know if Old Qin and the others have arrived in Xianyang yet.”

He had used the new communication channel to get in touch with Liaodong before.

It was just a long way to travel.

The frequency of communication was not high.

Now it’s almost winter.

There is no concept of Chinese New Year in Daqin, let alone a special festival, but rather the “change of year”.

However, Zhao Long felt that a festival such as the Spring Festival, which could unite the hearts and minds of the entire nation, could be introduced.

We might as well start with the winter season this time.

So he called all these of his own people back to the manor.

I just don’t know if they’ve arrived yet.

“Someone, send a letter to this general to Jiu Yuan County!”

He was now the great general of Yunzhong County and wanted to take a break, but it was to speak to Meng Tian.

Two days later, Meng Tian was looking at a rope in front of him with a gloomy face, and said to the leader of the guard beside him that

“This was taken off the horses of those Xiongnu cavalrymen?”

The chief of the guard nodded and

“Yes, General, only not many were assembled, and it looked like some of the Hun cavalrymen got it privately themselves.”

Meng Tian sighed faintly, the stirrups, or the Huns had got them.

Though they didn’t have much iron.

But even with a rope, to step on, these people battle power, can be much higher.

“Assemble the stirrups, the horseshoes to the entire cavalry!”

Since the other side had already got them, there was no need to hide them.

Originally, Meng Tian had planned to use these two sharp weapons to take these men by surprise, but now it seemed to be impossible.

Of course, he did not lose his confidence.

In war, although weapons and equipment were extremely important, as long as there was not too big a gap, it was ultimately up to men to decide the winner.

Just then, the guards outside the door came in to report that

“Great General, a letter from His Majesty!”

Soon a messenger entered the military tent and handed him a copy of the letter.

Meng Tian opened it at once and, after reading it, spoke to the chief of the guards at one side, saying

“Go and call Su and Gao over.”

This letter from his majesty was to let a few of the princes return.

Of course, he knew that the main thing was for Zhao Lang to go back.

It was also good that after the frontier entered winter, the snow would close everything and there would be no war.

It was just easy for a few other people to just say so.

But Zhao Lang’s side, how can we put him back without a trace.

What about three more months?

He knew that Zhao Lang was very resourceful.

Meng Tian had a bit of a headache for a while.

Just then, another messenger came in and said that

“Great General, a letter from Zhao Lang, the defender of Yunzhong County!”

Meng Tian raised his eyebrows, took the letter, and after reading it, a trace of oddity appeared on his face.

This father and son, they had a heart to heart.

With Zhao Lang’s letter, things would be much easier to do.

By giving more than three months of rest and leave straight away, that sire of his should be satisfied.

Having done so, Meng Tian remembered something and spoke to the chief of the guard, saying

“What about that boy Meng Zhi?”

The chief of the guard returned and

“Great General, Meng Zhi is now on guard duty on the Great Wall, as you commanded, without any preferential treatment, and no one knows who he is.”

Meng Tian nodded and said.

“When Zhao Lang leaves, put him in Yunzhong County.”

By the time Zhao Lang returned, Meng Zhi had been a junior soldier there for over three months and should not have aroused suspicion.

If it weren’t for the name, he would have wanted to just shove the man over there!

Meng Tian was, of course, loyal to his majesty, but that didn’t stop him from making some arrangements in advance.

“It’s time to get Meng Yi’s side, too, to make some contacts.”

A few days later.

A caravan of carriages, slowly making their way back to Xianyang from Yunzhong County.

Zhao Lang rode at the front.

Looking at the depressed scene, he couldn’t help but feel a little sad and nostalgic in his heart.

This is human nature and cannot be controlled.

So, in a previous life, winter was the season when it was easiest to be depressed.

Only before he could express his emotions, the voice of Ohio sounded off to the side and

“Brother Long! Why did you bring that woman and child with you when you went back from your break this time.”

Zhao Lang went back this time, bringing along Boldon’s wife and her three children.

Hu Hai at this time thieved and said that

“Brother Long, although I know that the children are certainly not yours.”

“But you wouldn’t be good at that!”

“Brother Long, I’m telling you, we Qin people can’t be like those Xiongnu Hu people who have no shame.”

Righteously, Hu Hai finished, and with a few gossipy little glances, whispered that

“Brother Long, I’ve heard that they even have their own father’s woman… Tsk…”

Hearing this, Zhao Lang, who was already trying to suppress himself, sighed, strangled the reins, and then dismounted.

Puzzled, Hu Hai said.

“Hey? Brother Long, why did you stop?”

“Brother Long, what are you doing with the horsewhip?”

“Hey hey hey! Ah!!!”

After smacking it, Zhao Long immediately felt his whole body was refreshed.

The sadness brought about by the gloomy weather was swept away straight away!

It seemed that he could move his hands more in the future.

“Hi, throw him to the back of the wagon.”

Zhao Lang ordered indifferently.

At this time, Boldon’s wife in the carriage next to him poked her head out and looked at Zhao Lang, saying

“Where are you taking us to?”

She was already sure now that Zhao Lang would not kill them.

But there was no telling what the other side wanted.

Zhao Lang smiled back and

“Back to my house.”

Only when you go out can you appreciate the warmth of home.

Hearing the word home, Boldon’s wife looked dark, touched her several children and asked, with a few unrealistic expectations.

“And will you let us go home?”

Zhao Lang at this time revealed a smile and said that

“Yes, don’t worry, I will let you guys go back. ”

When Boldon’s wife saw this scene, her heart was a chill.

It was because she could feel that there was not a trace of warmth in Zhao Lang’s smile.

Only what she could not see was when Zhao Lang turned his head and looked towards Xianyang.

The eyes were full of warmth.

“Everyone, I guess, is okay.”
