Chapter 763: The Defense of Danluo City (3)
After hearing Luqiu Zhiping's words, I was shocked and suspicious, and thought carefully.
The ability to unify the Three Barbarians and be famous for all ages was of course his life's ambition. However, that was just a thought hidden deep in his heart. Although the three barbarians are both barbarians and have the same spirit, there are considerable contradictions between tribes.
In normal times, no matter which tribe wants to annex another tribe, the price it pays is unbearable, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by the Northern Jin Kingdom, which is always eyeing the covetous situation in the north.
Now, what kind of staff member of the Northern Jin army, a scholar, actually said that he could help solve these two problems? Let Lou Fang's troops capture the ghosts and Baiyue without being attacked by the King of Northern Jin?
"Yes, you heard it right." Luqiu Zhiping said, "Of course, it's not me who is talking nonsense alone. What I can come here means is the commander of the right army, Lord Tong Yu, and Lord Tong Jinian, the Minister of War behind Lord Tong, and even His Highness the Second Prince of the Kingdom."
"Why should your second prince and the Minister of War support me to unify the Barbarians?" Wu Lifan didn't believe it.
"Because, His Highness of the Second Prince needs a great achievement. This achievement is great enough to allow His Majesty to establish him as the crown prince and make him the future king." Luqiu Zhiping said, "And after you unify the Barbarians, you will swear allegiance to the Second Prince and pay tribute. In return, the Second Prince will still allow you to serve as the patriarch of the barbarians, and the common patriarch of the three barbarians. Because His Majesty also knows that the three barbarians have hundreds of thousands, perhaps nearly one million people, and it cannot be governed by the people of the kingdom alone. At this time, the kingdom must have a trustworthy local governor."
"If you have ears, you will know that among the princes of the Northern Jin Kingdom, the Second Prince is the strongest, has the widest connections, the most wealthy, and the military is completely obeying his orders. Even without the achievements of the Three Barbarians, it would be a foregone conclusion that he will become the next king. At most, you are just icing on the cake. And if you don't need this honor to unify the Three Barbarians, I believe that Lu Dahui, the same ambitious person, will be very interested in my proposal."
Luqiu Zhiping's series of important words directly hit Wu Lifan's biggest worry. Indeed, what the Northern Jin people said was so tempting. The glory of unifying the Three Barbarians has always been something that ancestors have been obsessed with. They have a large population, sharp soldiers and abundant wealth and food. If they support themselves, unifying the Three Barbarians under the current situation is really not too difficult.
But what are they looking for? Is it really a five-fold dispute in their country?
"In addition to the throne, we have another very important purpose, very important purpose." Seeing his deep doubts, Luqiu Zhiping continued, "The army that captured the Shangui tribe and the army of Jinyuan have always been the thorn in the eyes of His Highness the Second Prince and the thorn in the flesh. However, because we are also part of the King's team, we cannot directly eradicate it."
"So that's it." Wu Lifan laughed, "So, you will use the hands of my troops to eradicate them?"
"Yes! In fact, the so-called battle for royal power, the army that captured the Shangui tribe is the most critical place. They only have about a thousand people. Not to mention that the people of the Shangui tribe will not obey them, the commander Sowell, who led the troops outside, will also lead the army to attack. When both of them were both in the loss, it is the time when you fishermen benefited! If they get their heads, it is best to get the head of a boy named Jin Ling, which is our biggest requirement!"
As he said that, Lu Qiu Zhiping moved his right hand and stroked the ring on his left hand.
"Don't move!" The barbarian masters around shouted together.
"Don't be nervous." Lu Qiu Zhiping smiled and said, "Immortal power is light and luck, then took out two large boxes from the ring and placed them on the ground. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of golden gold coins.
"There is 50,000 gold here, which is equivalent to a huge wealth for your Manchu tribe. This is the meeting gift given to you by His Highness the Second Prince to the leader of Wulifan. After the matter is completed, there will be the same wealth as a thank you. If you kill the boy named Jin Ling, you will have an additional 100,000 gold."
The heavy money for Luqiu Zhiping to open the mouth and keep it closed was indeed a huge sum of money for the Manchu Ministry. People in the Loufang Ministry may not be able to earn ten thousand yuan if they worked hard for a whole year.
With the interests and the temptation of gold and yuan, I was instantly moved.
"Okay." He laughed loudly, asking the barbarians to remove the shackles for Luqiu Zhiping and his group, and then put barbecue and wine on them. "Mr. Luqiu, I just offended you. Now let's talk about the big plan you just mentioned..."
......
With Shang Ran's tacit approval, Jin Ling came to the grain and grass warehouse of the Zuolu Army.
"According to the command of Shangran, I will check and count the food stored in the entire army." He said to the defenders.
"Please ask for the deputy commander." The defenders did not dare to neglect the deputy general who had just made outstanding military achievements. The granary guards came out to accompany him in person, took a few grains and grass to transport them, inspected the officials, and led the way together.
"No need, I'll go and see it myself. You guys can go there and do your own things." Jin Ling said.
The officials looked at each other, and the deputy commander went to see it alone. This was not in line with the rules.
"Don't worry, I've asked the commander for verbal instructions." Jin Ling said, "I will take away some food and grass with the ring to support Shanguibu Danluo City. You will then count it and register it. I and the commander will bear the lack of it."
So that's it. Everyone then realized that it was really not a big deal to use the military's food and grass reserves to their private soldiers, and they really couldn't do it in front of everyone.
However, the achievements of the Jinyuan army are worth no matter how much food and grass are. Therefore, everyone retreated wisely. However, they were also very confused. Using the ring to transport grain, a small space for the ring to transport food. The dozens or hundreds of kilograms of grain you transported away are enough for a thousand people in the Jinyuan army to eat for a day? What's the use of this?
Everyone tactfully retreated. Jin Ling entered the granary alone, then stroked the bags of rice and flour, and stored them one by one into the multiple rings in his hand.
The space for ordinary storage rings is naturally insufficient. One can accommodate up to three feet of grain in size, and it is amazing to store hundreds of kilograms of food. In just a few strokes, several storage rings were full.
Then, it was the Xianyu Bracelet's turn to appear. The space in it was small, the Baiyu Bead was about ten times that of the Baiyu Bead, the Ziyu Bead was ten times that of the Qingyu Bead, and the Blue Yu Bead was ten times that of the Qingyu Bead, which could accommodate the space of the next hall.
So soon, he deposited all the grain in the Blue Word Beads. This was far from full. If he hadn't considered leaving half of the grain for the Left Army, all the grain would not be enough.
"Okay, after the inspection is completed, you will report directly to the commander after counting it." Jin Ling said to the officials after he came out.
"Yes, deputy commander." Everyone sent him away and went back to the warehouse to count. But when they entered the warehouse, they saw half of the food, and everyone's cold sweat suddenly burst out.
"One, half, that's 80,000 kilograms of grain... How did he do it?" (To be continued)
