Chapter 383: Marriage

"I see, it's the subordinates who are stupid. Although for a while, Hei Da's inflexible brain didn't quite understand the harm to them if they were cut off from the East and the West, but using poison was completely destroying the water source of the oasis, and he could still understand that he would never need it again in the future.

"Hmm. Seeing that Hei Da was no longer talking, Ouyang Ke turned his head to Steward Yang and said, "Go back and pick up a few carts of luxury treasures to go to the Great Jin Kingdom to meet their Emperor Jin and say that I, the Ouyang Clan of the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions, are going to establish a kingdom in the Western Regions, and they will soon grab enough slaves from the grassland to build a royal city for themselves." ”

"But the dynasty is easy to build, good wives are hard to find, and now I still lack a queen with enough status and wealth, so I hope to complete the marriage with the Dajin Kingdom and marry one of their princesses. ”

"If the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom can agree, then my White Camel Kingdom is willing to marry with him forever, and at the same time, he will also keep an eye on the feud of the Western Liao Kingdom in the west. ”

"It's so good that my subordinates will do it when they get back. Hearing Ouyang Ke's order, Steward Yang was not young, and immediately thought of Ouyang Ke's thoughts.

"Since you're worried, it's better to pull the relationship openly, if Jin Guo can agree to this marriage, then most likely he won't do anything to White Camel Mountain again, on the contrary, he should take good precautions.

"Well, if you understand, just go back and do it. Looking at the excited Steward Yang, Ouyang Ke understood that the other party had already understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, it's just a temptation, just a woman, maybe you don't wait for her to come, and you'll be ready on your side.

Although I don't know what the deity plans to do then, at least it will definitely have the power to protect the altar, and with the power of this lower world, it is impossible to resist the slightest power of the deity.

"Besides, even if the 300,000 demon army has a short-lived flaw, at least it can grow up quickly through fighting, or in a year or two, I will be able to get an army that is extremely terrifying to this world. ”

"For this reason, even if I abandon the foundation of the Western Regions, with this army, I can learn from the nomads to occupy the empty grasslands and rise again. At this time, Ouyang Ke, who had only been instructed to build the altar quickly, and did not know that he had been arranged by another person, thought to himself in his heart.

"How much stock of grain and grass do we have?" This time Ouyang Ke looked at a middle-aged man who looked a little fat, this was Yang Ying, who was in charge of grain trading under White Camel Mountain, and was also one of the very important shopkeepers under Ouyang Ke.

"Back to the young master, if we distribute the grain and grass of the 300,000 demon demon army for a month and a half, our remaining food hoarding will still have eighty percent of our original savings. ”

"Among them, dried meat and dry food account for ninety percent, as long as the water source is sufficient, it is enough for 500,000 people to eat for about half a year. Yang Ying arched his hand and said.

"After supplying more than 300,000 horses and horses, is there still so much after three months? It seems that you have done a good job in the past few years!" Ouyang Ke nodded with satisfaction.

Although when he made the plan, Ouyang Ke consciously began to let his subordinates collect and hoard grain, thanks to the extremely hot environment of most of the Western Regions, as long as the grain and grass are made into qualified special dry food, it can be stored for at least a few years without spoiling, so Ouyang Ke has always known that his subordinates have hoarded a large amount of grain and grass.

So when he ordered to summon all the men in the Western Regions, Ouyang Ke didn't ask about food carefully, but he really didn't expect Yang Ying to hoard so much.

The rations for three months for more than 300,000 troops were a big burden even for the Song, Liao, Jin and other large countries in the Central Plains, not to mention small local forces such as Baihushan Mountain in the Western Regions.

"Good. With this batch of grain, then our plan can continue forever, and I expect to see results in about half a year. Ouyang Ke said happily.

"Of course, just in case, Yang Ying, don't stop collecting grain and grass over there, but hurry up to collect it, anyway, as long as the grain is stored properly, it can't be smashed no matter what. ”

"Yes, young master. Seeing Ouyang Ke's joy, although he did not receive any rewards and awards, Yang Ying was still very happy, he knew that Ouyang Ke was not a person who would treat his own people badly, and there was no reward now, so he must be waiting to be together in the future!

And compared to the direct reward, for Yang Ying and everyone present, it is more important to be able to show his talents in front of Ouyang Ke at this time, after all, Ouyang Ke is about to establish his own kingdom, which also means that the door of the kingdom nobles has been opened to them.

It only depends on what position each can fight for.

And the future finance minister of the kingdom or the household department of the Central Plains Dynasty has always been the target of Yang Ying's peeping, especially after Ouyang Ke really and clearly announced that he would establish the White Camel Kingdom, this idea was even stronger.

The same Yang Ying also knows that most of the colleagues around him are also peeping at this position, after all, everyone is from a business background, and the most familiar is naturally finance, rather than making mistakes in unfamiliar places in the future and being punished by Ouyang Ke or even being squeezed down by latecomers, it is better to do familiar things from the beginning, and the finance minister with the same status is naturally the most suitable position for Ouyang Ke's shopkeepers.

Returning to his position and feeling the jealous eyes of his colleagues, Yang Ying only felt that he had taken another big step forward from the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"Then get rid of your duties, for the sake of our kingdom and our wealth. Ouyang Ke finally concluded.

"I will live up to the trust of the young Lord. Everyone said in unison.

The next day, the 300,000 demon army set out on the road, and when I saw the vast army, which stretched for dozens of miles, only half of them were cavalry on horseback or camel, and the rest were all two-legged infantry.

"Fortunately, after a few years of preparation, at least in terms of leather armor and weapons, as well as bows and crossbows, I am finally well prepared. On the White Camel Mountain, he held a glass telescope and looked at the continuous torrent at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and thought of it happily.

"It's all the young master who was prescient. Afu, who was beside Ouyang Ke, said praisefully.

"Huh. Ouyang Ke smiled and said again before he said, "Have the craftsmen's plans been arranged?"

"Three hundred and sixty-seven stonemasons and mud have been gathered, and the drawings you handed over to the slaves and maids have been almost worked out by them, and they will start working on them in a few days. Afu replied respectfully.

"Are the stones and other things ready?" Ouyang Ke asked again.

"It's all ready, it's absolutely redundant and not lacking. Afu assured with certainty.

"Well, it's good to be ready. You can take care of the altar affairs, and if you are busy, you can leave the rest of the things to others first! There is absolutely no room for error in the affairs of the altar, and I want you to keep an eye on them yourself. Ouyang Ke looked at the open space in the distance, which was not small even if it was on the top of the mountain, and said to Afu.

As Ouyang Ke's confidant, although Ouyang Ke did not tell Afu about the true role of the altar, at least the altar was built and not a matter of the royal city, but he did not hide it from her.

Therefore, in this matter, Ouyang Ke can focus on Afu without any other scruples.

"Yes, young master. Although it is not clear why Ouyang Ke takes such a fancy to the mysterious altar, Afu herself is not a person who will rebel against Ouyang Ke, and she only knows obedience to Ouyang Ke.

Dajin Kingdom, Zhao Wangfu, the young Zhao King Wanyan Honglie was discussing with his staff at this time the rising White Camel Mountain in the west.

"A few days ago, the envoy of the White Camel Kingdom of the Western Regions came to Shengjing, visited many of my elders, and sent a lot of treasures, wanting to establish diplomatic relations with my Dajin, and hoping to marry one of the daughters of my Dajin clan as the queen, what do you think of this matter?" Wanyan Honglie said in a high-spirited manner.

"This. After hearing Yan Honglie's question, the few staff members immediately understood that this was because their prince didn't know much about this white camel kingdom, so he had this kind of problem.

Otherwise, it should be the other party's 300,000 army, not a matter of marriage and kinship.

Thinking of the rumored love for a newly acquired Han family beauty, several staff members glanced at each other covertly and understood that this was Wanyan Honglie's indulgence in beauty and neglected the outside world during this time.

Although he felt that he should persuade Yan Honglie not to indulge in beauty in the future, he had to explain the news and information to Yan Honglie first at this time.

"What, at least an army of three hundred thousand. Wanyan Honglie, who didn't care much about it, immediately interrupted the report of his staff with a shocked face when he heard that the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions, which had never been heard of before, had gathered an army of 300,000.

"Can an army of 300,000 be gathered in the land of the Western Regions?" Wanyan Honglie deeply doubted, although he was a little negligent because of the woman he loved during this time, it was not that Wanyan Honglie did not know about the Western Regions before.

Although the income from the trade routes is good, and although the area is also very vast, most of them are based on oases and small towns, and the Western Regions have no capital to raise an army of 300,000 at all, and the food of military rations alone can directly eat down anyone who vainly tries to gather an army in the Western Regions.

It is precisely because of this understanding that when dealing with state relations, the Jin State has never thought about the threat of the Western Regions, and at best, it is just a threat to the more distant feud of the Western Liao State.

On the contrary, the grasslands that are close at hand are very wary.

It is precisely because of the suppression of the Jin State that the grassland has been in a chaotic situation today, even the Wang Han tribe representing the power of the Jin State only has a nominal leader, in fact, it only acts as a ruling in the tribal alliance, suppressing the development and growth of other grassland tribes at all times.

But at this time, someone actually told him that the barren land of the Western Regions with few people and few lands had gathered an army of 300,000 troops, or at least, if it weren't for the staff of his cronies who said this, Wanyan Honglie would definitely not believe it in the slightest.

"That's what they did. Wan Yan Honglie said in disbelief.

"We don't know what to do. The army can still be assembled by pulling strong men, but the grain and grass are hard wounds, and it is inevitable at all, and the difference between the grain and grass of the 300,000 rabble and the grain and grass of the 300,000 elites is not much, it is an astronomical amount. The chief staff member also shook his head and said.

"Not to mention that their gathering of armies has lasted for three months without collapsing. ”

"It's just that they've hoarded an unimaginable amount of grain and grass when they achieved it. After calming down, Wan Yan Honglie said in a deep voice the only possibility.

"And how are they moving now?"

"An army of 300,000 can't just be gathered! ”

"The Western Liao Kingdom is still a tribe of the grassland Wang Han. "Wanyan Honglie didn't think about his own Jin Kingdom.

In addition to the marriage envoy sent by the White Camel Kingdom, it was also because he remembered the large desert between the Jin Kingdom and the Western Regions.

A small army is fine, but it is very difficult for an army of 100,000 to cross such a desert, let alone 300,000.

Not to mention the danger of quicksand, the loss of water alone is a great difficulty, and the huge amount of water that people eat and chew will be wiped out if they are not careful.

"It's the grassland!" the chief staff said: "The subordinates have talked to the white camel envoy Yang envoy this time, and their master is to capture enough human slaves from the grassland to build a royal city for him, so he has transferred most of the men from the Western Regions to train into the army at any cost.

"This kind of ragtag army doesn't have much advantage over the regular army, but it's more than enough to be a slave hunter. ”

"Send more than 300,000 people to serve as a slave hunting team, do you believe it?" said Wan Yan Honglie sneered.

"I'm not entirely convinced, it's just a possibility, but there should be a deeper use. The chief of staff said unhurriedly.

"Oh, what else do you guys think?"

"Go to hidden dangers and train strong soldiers!"

"What do you say?" asked Wan Yan Honglie with interest.

Since the news of the White Camel Kingdom came, a few of us and a few others have been studying the power of the White Camel Mountain.

"Speaking of which, the rise of the power of this White Camel Mountain is also simple and clear, so it didn't take much effort to filter it out. ”

"The owner of the White Camel Mountain is the Ouyang family, and the Ouyang family is said to have been originally from the Central Plains, but because of the war, they moved to the Western Regions, and they have been Hu people in the Western Regions for hundreds of years. ”

"White Camel Mountain sits on an important trade route in the eastern part of the Western Regions, and started by collecting customs duties and providing services and survival materials for Eastern and Western caravans. ”

Originally, they were just a landlord and gentry, but since last year, they have begun to show signs of scorpion in the central and western parts of the Western Regions.

A few days ago, tens of thousands of troops were directly dispatched to exterminate the three major sand thieves entrenched in the Western Regions, completely dominating the central and eastern Western Regions.

At that time, after swallowing such a large piece of territory and population, the people of Baihushan stopped, and even their owners went out to participate in some Jianghu competitions in the Central Plains.

And then, after the end of the Jianghu competition, there was this action. 2k reading web
