Guizhou, which had been fighting for several months, rarely entered a period of peace, and it was the peace after the victory of the King of Kings, which was particularly precious. Zhang Chang'an, Buchen and others might not feel the rareness of this peace, but Gesang had already begun to fantasize about a better life in the future.

This shepherd's dream has never changed: in the clear and gentle season, the grass is lush, she waves the whip in her hand, rides on the horse and drives the cattle and sheep that cannot be seen at first sight. Listening to the bleating sound of the flock, she will happily sing songs on the grassland.

There should be so many cattle and sheep that can't be seen at first sight, so there should be at least one hundred? If there are more than a dozen cows and a few horses in the middle, it will be a scene where you will wake up from a dream. As for more, Gesang could not have imagined that the chiefs in the tribe had only so much property.

Zhang Chang'an brought it from Buchen and gave it to Gesang the dozen lambs that he had dispersed and died in the war, leaving only a weak lamb. It was Gesang who was holding it tightly in his arms in the chaos, and never abandoned it no matter how embarrassed he followed Zhang Chang'an.

After losing most of the sheep, Gesang was sad for a long time, and his beaded tears never stopped, and he even lost the intention to eat. If Zhang Changan hadn't contacted the army and reported his own situation, he would have returned in just one day, so Gesang would have been half hungry.

However, when he saw Zhang Changan coming with a bowl of rice, Gesang, who would have been happily pounced on him in the past, shrank his body back this time, holding the lamb in his arms tightly, looking alert and frightened. Because of his excessive strength, the lamb was so hung up by her, and his bleating sound was already very miserable.

For Gesang at this moment, Zhang Changan is no longer worthy of trusting that kind of person.

The reason is very simple. During the chaos of the war, Zhang Changan pulled her away and asked her not to care about the sheep, especially the little lamb in her arms, which seriously affected her movements and limited her flexibility and combat effectiveness in all aspects.

If Zhang Changan hadn't pulled her around and was anxious, Gesang wouldn't have been left with only one sheep.

In Gesang's view, Zhang Chang'an's behavior was completely unacceptable. The shepherds on the grassland could not abandon their cattle and sheep at any time. Without cattle and sheep, the shepherds would not survive, and they would die if they could not finish the cold winter, and would be looked down upon by all the shepherds.

Therefore, the shepherd can fight to the death for his own cattle and sheep.

As for what Zhang Changan said, after the war, she would have as many cattle and sheep as she wanted, this was completely nonsense in Gesang's opinion. The shepherd would not place hope on things that were not in front of him. As the saying goes, a hundred birds are worse than a bird in the forest.

"Don't worry about your sheep. The battle here is over. I won't let you throw it away again." Zhang Changan only felt like a big head. Sometimes he couldn't communicate normally with this stubborn grassland girl. "Okay, okay, it's time for you to have a meal."

Seeing that Gesang still looked distrustful, Zhang Changan put down the rice bowl, sighed, and looked at her and said seriously: "Seven days, at most, the merit assessment of the army will be completed. At that time, you can do as many cattle and sheep as you want. You will have your own tribe, you can be the chief, and no one dares to bully you, because the king's army will help you..."

Having said this, Zhang Changan continued to say that, and the distrust expression on Gesang's face gradually turned into anger, as if he was blaming Zhang Changan for treating her as a fool.

The conversation between Zhang Chang'an and Gesang was seen by Shangguan Qingcheng, who was patrolling the camp.

She likes Gesang, a strong and innocent girl. Although in the eyes of Tangren, her inherent way of thinking may sometimes seem stupid, such a little girl is obviously very likable.

"Your Highness, I see Gesang's military merit rewards, so I will give them to her earlier, so as not to be embarrassed by Zhang Chang'an in front of her."

Shangguan Qingcheng turned his head to Li Ye beside him and said that Zhang Changan was her army. In order to win the Battle of Guizhou, she went deep into the enemy territory and took great risks and made great contributions. She, the chief general, still took good care of her subordinates.

When Li Ye looked at Zhang Chang'an and Gesang, he couldn't help but remember the little things between him in Prince An's Mansion, Shangguan Qingcheng, and Wu You when he was young. The princess was also very naive when she was young, and often acted foolishly in front of him. Occasionally, she deliberately used some little temperament to ask him to coax her.

Li Ye didn’t understand the thoughts of such a little woman before, but now she is naturally different. When she thinks about many things, they have a different flavor.

"What's the difficulty? I see Gesang's achievements. Now let's make an example for her and convert all her military achievements into cattle and sheep." Li Ye said this and walked towards each other with Shangguan Qingcheng.

Seeing that Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng were coming, Zhang Changan quickly stood up and saluted, "Commander Zhang Changan, have seen Your Highness, General!"

Li Ye waved his hand and signaled that Zhang Changan didn't have to be too polite. Because this was the first time he met the other party after the war, and they were acquaintances, so he had to try his best to praise the other party's heroic deeds.

Zhang Changan was recognized by Li Ye, and his face turned red with excitement. Even the words were said to be the general Shangguan was well-organized, and his comrades sacrificed his life to death. He was nothing.

Finally, he woke up and pointed at Gesang and said, "This battle is a very important part of Gesang's military camp to be able to successfully sneak into the Khitan military camp and carry out the mission safely. Please ask Your Highness and General to investigate!"

Gesang has also learned a lot of Chinese from Zhang Chang'an during these days. Although it sounds awkward, he can understand a lot.

Seeing that Zhang Changan was very respectful to Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng, he also called them "Your Highness" and "General". Although he didn't know who they were - the names Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng were already well-known in the Khitan army, it still seemed very far away for ordinary shepherds - but he also knew that the person who came was a big man, so he also stood up and stood respectfully aside.

But even at this time, Gesang did not put down the lamb in his arms.

Li Ye showed a smile that he thought could make people feel like spring breeze, and said to Gesang in a warm voice: "Gesang, how many sheep do you want and how many cows do you want?"

Gesang understood this very clearly, and there was no word I didn't understand, but the complete meaning of this sentence made her stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Gesang was stunned, Zhang Changan was worried that the other party would miss such a good opportunity, so he quickly reminded: "Just say whatever you want, once your highness nods, you will have them immediately!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Changan was still afraid that Gesang would not have enough imagination, so he seized the opportunity to clean up and said, "To be big, don't be afraid!"

Although Gesang is now a little suspicious of Zhang Changan's personality because of losing more than a dozen sheep, the other party is still the Tangren he is the most familiar and trusted. Since the other party asked her to speak casually, she is basically sure that a great thing has really happened.

With the best dream in hand, Gesang's voice trembled, and his watery big eyes looked at Li Ye with hope, "One...one hundred!"

When she said this, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she was afraid that she would say too much, so the other party refused to agree.

After all, a hundred sheep are huge property that only chiefs have.

Li Ye was naturally surprised. Shangguan Qingcheng was speechless: "One hundred sheep, one hundred cows, one hundred horses, that's all?"

Zhang Changan covered his face and no longer had the courage to face Gesang. This was proposed by her in person, and he dared to pat his chest to promise that Gesang actually only wanted sheep, Shangguan Qingcheng had given the cow and horse for nothing, and he really couldn't find any remarks.

"Ah? There are also cows and horses?" Gesang jumped up in surprise.

Li Ye shook his head and laughed. It seemed that this silly shepherd girl was still limited by poverty. She had no idea that the person standing in front of her at this moment could make her the top noble on the grassland and look down on the heroes.

Gesang is a young man, so Li Ye naturally has no reason to treat her badly. He turned to Zhang Chang'an and said, "According to the size of the tribe of 3,000, you will choose cattle, sheep and horses for her. Then you don't have to participate in the next war. Take people to help her rebuild her tribe and protect her safety and authority."

Zhang Changan's eyes sterned and he immediately clasped his fists to take the order.

He came from Chang'an Practice Academy, so he naturally knew that Li Ye's arrangement was not just for taking care of Gesang, but was related to the dynasty's plan to rule the grassland in the future. Although Zhang Chang'an no longer participated in the war, it was a pity that Zhang Chang'an felt, but the importance of using the Tang Dynasty to build grassland order was even more important than fighting on the battlefield.

Gesang didn't hear this clearly, but she understood the number of three thousand. All she could think of was that Li Ye wanted to give her three thousand sheep, which made her happy and fainted.

When choosing cattle and sheep, Gesang grabbed Zhang Changan's horn, raised his little face and kept asking the other party whether she had three thousand sheep, whether Li Ye's words really counted, and whether someone would come to steal her sheep in the future...

Zhang Changan was disturbed by Gesang, but he couldn't get upset with her, so he could only say solemnly: "Gesang, your fate has been changed. From now on, you will no longer be a shepherd who needs to spend all his energy on food and clothing.

"Your future life is destined to participate in the world's trend and the torrent of history. Believe me, your name will resound throughout the grassland in the future and be praised and worshipped by countless people. As long as you follow the arrangements of the Tang Dynasty, you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life and become the moon on the grassland.

"You may not understand these words for the time being, but it doesn't matter, you will understand everything by then."

Gesang really doesn't understand Zhang Chang'an's words now.

But when she was told that the boundless flock of cattle and sheep in front of her belonged to her, she seemed to see a door to a new world. The world inside the door was full of sunshine, no hunger, no cold, no bullying, and no sorrow.

Some are a wonderful life that she would never dream of.

Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng continued to wander around the camp. This was not much different from walking. Apart from caring about it from time to time and encouraging the soldiers, it was basically just a casual chat.
