Forty-four or five hundred thousand troops

"Ling Yisong, the subordinate head of the Cloud Pavilion, has seen the pavilion master!" Huo Mei stood with her hands behind her back, her body was full of coldness, Xiahou Jin looked at Xiaohong in surprise, as if she was asking silently, Xiaohong shook her head silently, even if she knew the reason, she couldn't say it.

"There are few people in the world who know Yun Pavilion, probably no one would think that Yun Pavilion is the mainstay of Moxiang Pavilion, Director Ling, this is the first time you and I have met, it's been a long time!" Huo Mei had a faint smile on her face and held Ling Yisong up with one hand.

Aunt Gui hurriedly prepared tea and sent it in, and Huo Mei and everyone sat down, Huo Mei sat on the first couch, looking at Ling Yisong, who was kneeling at the bottom. "Director Ling, how did I let Xiaohong explain?"

"When the subordinates received the order of the pavilion master, they had already ordered people to start collecting grain! It is now the season when the rice is ripe in the south, so his subordinates have already asked the people of Yunge to go down and buy it. The cloud warehouses all over the Han Dynasty are the grain shops that Yun Pavilion has been operating here, but I don't know if the lord collects so much grain this time, is there any urgency? ”

Huo Mei took a sip of tea and put his hand on the small table in front of him, "The emperor will soon send troops to conquer the Xiongnu, I will give you a month's time to get me grain and grass that can supply 500,000 troops for a year!" ”

Well, Ling Yisong was shocked by Huo Mei's words, it was not difficult to prepare the grain and grass of the 500,000 army with the financial resources of Yun Pavilion, but it would have to be raised within a month, which undoubtedly created a big problem for Ling Yisong.

"Subordinate Order! The subordinates will go to the south to speed up the time for grain collection! Huo Mei nodded, and was satisfied with Ling Yisong's return.

"The grain and grass of the 500,000 army is not a small number, but the money in your hand is enough?"

"Back to the Pavilion Master, each sergeant's annual military needs are about ten gold, and 500,000 troops are five million gold, which may be an astronomical amount for the imperial court, but for Yun Pavilion, this is only half of Yun Pavilion's reserves! So ......"

Huo Mei finally smiled with satisfaction, she knew the financial resources of Yun Pavilion, because a codex would be sent to her for review every day, which included Yun Pavilion's financial situation, and there was no such thing as fooling Huo Mei in Moxiang Pavilion, because Moxiang Pavilion's punishment for betrayers was quite heavy, and no one could bear it.

"After a month and a half, the imperial court will send troops to the Huns, I want you to transport the grain and grass to the place I designated in advance, and such an action cannot be discovered by the imperial court, can Master Ling do it?" Ling Yisong gasped, it seems that this pavilion master can't be seen, because even if he can't die if he sees it, he will have to lose half of his life tiredly.

"The subordinates must live up to the expectations of the lord and leave immediately, but the subordinates who collect the grain are not enough, can you ......" Seeing Ling Yisong's eyes glancing at Xiaohong's body, Huo Mei smiled meaningfully.

"Xiaohong, do you have anything in your hands for Master Ling?"

"Are you sure your master wants to use my people?" Xiaohong felt that Yun Pavilion and Mo Pavilion have always been two branches that have nothing to do with each other, since the establishment of Mo Xiang Pavilion, the two branches have never intersected, Yun Pavilion is in charge of Mo Xiang Pavilion's money and food, and Mo Ge is mainly training assassins, although assassins often take on some work to kill people and sell goods, but compared with the God of Wealth like Ling Yisong, Xiao Hong's status is actually not high.

"Yun Pavilion not only has to collect grain this time, but also transport grain and grass, this pass is not good without the protection of Mo Pavilion, I know that Mo Pavilion has a top assassin of five hundred people, and it will take two months to lend it to Master Ling, plus Mo Xiang Pavilion's special passage to the Western Regions, I think it will take less than a month and a half, and the grain and grass will be in place." Xiaohong nodded after listening to Huo Mei's words, took out a white jade pendant from the placket and handed it to Ling Yisong.

"Master Ling, this is my Snow Wolf token, you can take it to Luo Xiao, he will give you the person you want!" Ling Yisong took the jade pendant handed by Xiaohong, looked at Xiaohong for a long time, and finally sighed, said goodbye to everyone and disappeared into the night in a flash.

"How did the lord know that the emperor would send troops to the Huns in a month and a half? According to the reports of our spies in the palace, there seems to be no sign of sending troops. Xiahou Jin still had doubts about Huo Mei's unpredictable prophet, after all, the military needs of 500,000 troops a year are not a small number, and the grain and grass will be in place before this army sets out for the expedition, which is even more unprecedented.

"A war with the Huns, the Han is bound to win, starting from the first emperor Wu Emperor, the Han and the Huns are fighting endlessly, recently the Huns rumored that several princes of the Huns are the Khan's big inseparable, at this time do not send troops to the Huns when to stay? So recently the emperor will definitely use troops against the Xiongnu, but ...... I will follow this expedition! ”

Xiahou Jin was shocked, and Xiaohong was also full of surprise, as if she didn't believe what Huo Mei said.

"Your lord, no! You are a daughter, how can you go to war? What's more, with your current status, it is impossible to leave Chang'an City lightly......" Huo Mei was noncommittal to Xiahou Jin's words, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"Mr. Xiahou doesn't need to panic, if I enter the desert with the army, I will naturally disguise myself as a man, and it is impossible to go as Mrs. Wei, you know, Moxiang Pavilion must help the Han defeat the Huns this time, this is also the last wish of the master red lady!"

Xiahou Jin was silent, and Aunt Gui walked in front of Huo Mei from the door, "Lord, the old pavilion master, her only long-cherished wish is to achieve the great cause that General Huo wanted to accomplish back then, this wish is fulfilled, and these old guys under her subordinates can also retire, if the lord has anything that needs me to do, it is incumbent on my subordinates!" ”

Aunt Gui was originally a personal slave beside the Red Lady, and she has followed the Red Lady since she was 8 years old, and when the Red Lady died, Aunt Gui wanted to follow her in the West District, but the Red Lady refused, but asked her to survive to help Huo Mei, and therefore Aunt Gui will live to this day.

Hearing Huo Mei say that the Han Dynasty was about to go west, Aunt Gui was naturally happy, and her years of planning were finally going to be useful, how could she not be excited, but she felt a little pity in her heart, but it was a pity...... The red lady died early, and she couldn't see any of this.

"During my expedition with the army, I may have to trouble Aunt Gui to pay attention to the movements in Chang'an City, especially the movements in the Sima Mansion and the palace, Moxiang Pavilion has worked hard for decades for the day of the decisive battle against the Huns, and this time the troops can only win and not lose, so anything that may affect the battle situation will never be allowed to happen!"

"The subordinates have an order, and this expedition is foolproof!" Xiahou Jin, Xiaohong and Aunt Gui knelt in front of Huo Mei like this, Huo Mei was sitting on the couch, her eyes were deep, thinking of the experience of following Wei Ling in her previous life, Huo Mei took a deep look at Xiaohong, this time she would never let Xiaohong die in the Western Regions, no matter what, she would give Xiaohong a life completely different from her previous life.
