Next, Yang Zhen and others asked Jiao Lizhu many questions one by one, and Jiao Lizhu was also a dull man, asking questions and answering questions.

If you can't remember to ask him something, he himself doesn't know what to say to you. Apart from the irrelevant things that Yang Zhen doesn't care much about, he himself doesn't seem to know where to start.

However, Yang Zhen still learned a lot of detailed situations from the pillars, such as the scale of the caravan, the general route of the caravan, and the speed of the caravan's overall progress.

As for the size of this caravan, such as the specific size, how many ox carts and mule carts, how many ox carts and mules, how many lums and camels and how many pack horses are transported, what are the goods they are transported, and how many are there, I can't say for the posts.

But he told Yang Zhen that he saw caravans, camels, and guards leaving in groups at a dilapidated wall gap outside Zhangjiakou Fort.

The entire team started from the early morning when a layer of mist was shrouded in mist, and continued until the rising sun rose and the sun shone in full, and all left the country.

There are no ox carts and mule carts, but there are eight hundred carts, and there are no less than two or three thousand camels in camel carts, and there are no less than two or three thousand mules and horses in pack horses.

Even the shopkeepers, grooms, camel workers, and a large number of escorts and escorts in the caravan, I'm afraid there will be two thousand people less than that.

As for the specific route of this caravan going north to trade, Yang Jie, the new Zhangjiakou Beiguan Guard, who had collected a large sum of silver, was unable to find out the details.

It was Ma Zhuang who learned from the corpses hired by the caravan that the caravan might have to go to Doronnor at the first stop and Kalaqin at the second stop. If there was a little more information, he could not find out anyway.

However, just knowing this is enough for Yang Zhen. After all, he now has two people who are familiar with the northbound trading route of the caravans in the pass.

For others, this route may be mysterious, but for the grassland horse thieves who have been robbing caravans on the grassland for many years, this route is not a secret.

Since the purpose of these caravans to go north to trade, they must go to major tribes outside the border, and the road between tribes has been formed since ancient times.

Although the grasslands in the north of the border look extremely vast, with endless green oceans everywhere, as if they are grasslands and there are no roads to follow, this is not the case for the grasslanders.

From one tribe to another, there are all numbers of roads, where is the road, where is not the road, which road is closer, which road is farther, which road is sparse, and which road is abundant.

Except for the caravans traveling from south to north and herdsmen on the grassland, there is no one in the world. It is more familiar to those horse thieves who block the road and rob the grassland for many years.

Therefore, after Li Ma and Meng He were given, he was not worried about the route of the caravan after leaving Kalaqin.

In addition to the caravan route, there is another crucial factor that Yang Zhen also needs to consider, that is, the speed of the caravan heading north.

Yang Zhen asked Jiao Lizhu again when he would set off and silently estimated the time. After Jiao Lizhu set off in the caravan on the morning of May 16, he set off from Zhangjiakou and headed north from all over the north, and arrived at Songshan City all the way. The journey during this period was probably no more than a thousand miles.

The pillar was held for seven or eight days, and it was a long journey, riding a horse all the way, and it took thousands of miles. [567 Chinese www.yue20.com] This speed is very good.

As for the Zhangjiakou caravan or gang that set out a little earlier than him, it would never be possible to get out of this speed.

After all, the business groups that came out of Zhangjiakou were to do business. Every time they went to a Mongolian tribe, they had to stay for three or two days to trade with those tribes.

They had to take out the salt, tea, iron, medicinal materials, corn, cloth and other items they had transported to exchange for various furs produced in the northern tribe, as well as live animals such as horses, cattle and sheep.

Moreover, the speed of their ox carts, mule carts, camel carts and pack horses in their merchant group was absolutely impossible to move faster than the speed of the pillars that rode on horseback day and night.

When Yang Zhen thought of this, he gradually felt relieved and no longer worried that he might miss the risk of such a caravan or business group, because time is with him, and he still has relatively plenty of time.

After Yang Zhen asked a lot of questions he wanted to know, he had to send Jiao Lizhu down to rest, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard Jiao Lizhu say:

"Sir! When we left Xuanfu City, there were still some things in the Yang Town of Xuanfu, and we asked our Yang Shoubei to tell you! Yang Shoubei asked me to come back and say these words to you!"

After Yang Zhen asked about the basic situation of the Zhangjiakou caravan, he was no longer so anxious. At this time, he heard Jiao Lizhu still have something to say, and immediately said to him:

"Okay! No problem! My uncle asked you to bring anything, just say it! Everyone here is not outsiders!"

"That's right, sir! When we returned, Yang Zong Town of Xuanfu said it had been found out. Your father-in-law and his family were killed when the Tartars invaded last year, and the female servants in Xuanfu City were all infected with the epidemic. Now the mansion is deserted and has disappeared without a trace, and it is impossible to find it!"

When Jiao Lizhu said this, he looked up at Yang Zhen's face and saw that nothing was abnormal. He then continued: "So, before we left, General Yang repeatedly told us to bring a message to the Lord, saying that you have become the general officer at least, and you must not be buried in such a thing as glorious family and ancestors!"

After saying these words, Jiao Lizhu stopped again at the critical moment, and looked at Yang Zhen's face timidly.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen seemed to realize something, but he was confused. Seeing the big black man in front of him, he frowned and said to him:

"If you can't find it, you can't find it! I have been in chaos in the past two years, so I didn't expect it! If my uncle had anything else to ask you to bring it, just say it! Hesitate, what does it look like!"

After hearing this, the others around Yang Zhen agreed. Some comforted Yang Zhen, while others scolded Lizhu for saying something quickly.

Jiao Lizhu saw Yang Zhen’s appearance and then said, “I can’t remember many other things clearly! But I can’t forget the ones that Mr. Yang explained!

"Master Yang said that when the Yang family of Houtunwei of Guangning arrived at the adults, he finally saw the day to make a comeback. Since there is no one in the Yue family, the adults should get married again. In short, there must be no descendants or heirs! Master Yang said that he would ask someone to tell you about a marriage in Xuanfu or a wealthy family in the capital!"

"What?! My uncle wants to say hello to me?"

When Yang Zhen heard what Jiao Lizhu said, he was a little stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

At this moment, Zhang Degui saw Yang Zhen like this. He hadn't spoken much, and he also started talking. He stood on the side of the pillar as soon as he opened his mouth:

"I think this is also a serious matter! Yang Zong Town of Xuanfu is your uncle. Now the old commander is gone. You are the eldest son of the Yang family in Houtunwei, Guangning. The original wife has long been dead, and your Yue family is gone, so there is no need to consider their ideas anymore!

"Since that's the case, why not make a good marriage in Xuanfu or the capital? In this way, in the future, lords will have a helping hand in Xuan's army, even in the capital's court!

"In my opinion, the proposal of your uncle, Yang Zong Town, Xuanfu, is actually the time, and it is reasonable and serious! Don't disregard it!"

Zhang Degui's statement made Yang Zhen suddenly feel a little confused about what to say. He scratched his head with a wry smile, turned his head to look at the dim sky light outside the window, and was speechless.

Of course, he knew very well that it was of course very important for him to form a perfect marriage.

And he also knew that if he wanted to have a broader future in this time and space, he would sooner or later take this step.

"Hahaha! That's right! Lao Zhang said nothing! Brother! You are a great general in the Songshan regiment training team, and you can't be a bachelor! Brother, speak straightforwardly, don't be surprised, since your father-in-law and his family are all dead, it's just right! Xu Xian married him openly and upright!"

Yang Zhenzheng pondered and didn't know how to deal with this unexpected topic, but heard Xu Changyong on the side suddenly laughing and saying to him loudly:

"Besides, you are a general officer and have no wife and children to warm up the kang. What's the matter? Can you still make your brothers have hope in your heart?! Lao Xu, if there is a girl who is not married, I will definitely betrothed to you! Hahaha!"

Xu Changyong's words instantly attracted a burst of laughter in Yang Zhen's office room. Zhang Chen, who was always upright and polite, also joked at this time:

"General Xu Shen, who are we? If you really have a girl, it's not that the country is beautiful, I don't believe you are so embarrassed to take it out!"

When Xu Changyong heard Zhang Chen's words, his eyes suddenly glared at him, and shouted at him: "You guy is a full man, but you don't know that the hungry man is hungry! You are a ready-made wife and children, and you are living a stable life in Xuanfu. How could you know the suffering of the general brother who suffered in the past few years?!

"I have lived in the camp for three years, and the sow is as good as Diao Chan! If I, Lao Xu, have a few girls around me, no matter how you look, in Songshan City, I really don't have to worry about betrothing them! Hahahaha!"
