Chapter 202: Money and Tribute
"Shuoxi is doing what he can now, how much can he take out the tribute on the gift list?"
"I can take it out, I can take it out." Karma Ketian connected and turned his head and shouted, "Dianyi, bring the tribute and let the general see it." ”
"Yes." A person behind him answered, saluted Li Luo, and walked out quickly, the generals of Dagan were slightly surprised, but they didn't expect that overnight, the Xirong royal family could prepare all the tributes, and the generals looked at each other.
Li Luo signaled slightly, Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi followed out, and after a while, the Dagan soldiers carried a few large boxes into the hall, looking at the hard look, and the weight was not light.
The soldiers put down the box, hugged their fists and saluted, and withdrew from the hall, and the Xirong Dianyi, who had just left the hall, walked quickly to the box, opened the lid of the box one by one, and Li Luo swept it, no more, no less, exactly ten boxes, which had been prepared by the Xirong royal family overnight and placed outside the hall.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, bursts of jewels burst out, reflecting a burst of color change in the Great Gan Zhu General, which was better than the color brought by Qiang Mo that day. The generals all took a breath of cool air and looked at each other in shock. Li Luo took a few steps forward, looked at the belongings in the box, and said respectfully on the side: "General, can you still see it?" ”
Li Luo took out an object from the box and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully, it was a jade bracelet with good workmanship and materials. Karma Ketian and Xirong Dianyi glanced at each other, and Karma Ketian whispered: "General, if you like it, please keep it, but Tian will order someone to make up for it." ”
Li Luo glanced at Qi Ketian, didn't make a sound, walked up to a woman from the Xirong royal family, stretched out the jade bracelet in his hand slightly, and said, "This is yours?" ”
The woman was startled, hurriedly knelt down, and replied in a trembling voice: "General, no." ”
Li Luo smiled gloomily before taking out the jade bracelet. The woman flicked her wrist slightly, but she did not escape Li Luo's ice heart trick, which was obviously something that this woman often carried. Li Luo bent down slightly, put the jade bracelet into the woman's hand, did not speak, turned back to the front of Qi Ketian and said, "Shuoxi has been invaded by the fire worship Huimeng. Even if it is not ten rooms and nine empty, but now it is also a ruin, and you use all your money as tribute, how do the people of the city and you live? It's autumn, and after years of war, I'm afraid I haven't accumulated much food, right? ”
Karma Ketian's lips twitched, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, if he took out these tributes before the city was broken, he still had some strength left. Today, it is already stretched, but if he doesn't make up the tribute, and I don't know what Li Luo will do with the people in the Xirong royal family, as for the people in the city, Qiancheng and Qianketian have already taken care of it.
Li Luo glanced at Shen Xiangdong, Shen Xiangdong bowed slightly, and Li Luo said indifferently: "Tribute to the court." Within three years, minus 30%. ”
"This. This ......." When he heard Li Luo's words, he almost cried with joy, and was stunned in the hall, unable to say a word.
"But there are two things that need to be added to the tribute."
"The General, please." Seeing that Qi Ketian's mood was still unstable, he was afraid of annoying Li Luo, so he hurriedly answered.
"Within three years. Every year, 5,000 high-quality war horses and 5,000 weapons were paid to Dagan, and after three years, the number increased to 20,000. ”
Everyone in Xirong was stunned, and they didn't understand why Li Luo didn't want money. Sancheng tribute in exchange for 5,000 war horses, 5,000 blades, more than enough, even three years later, 20,000 war horses and 20,000 blades can not use these goods, but at this time, it is no less than the difficulty of Ji Xirong, and the people of Qi Ketian did not have time to think about the meaning of Li Luo's words, and they all bowed and thanked them, and many women cried, even Qi Ketian couldn't help but burst into tears.
Li Luo was compassionate, destroying people's homes and taking people's property, but he wanted less, but he was like a compassionate god and Buddha, receiving this great gift.
Li Luo turned sideways and was not worshiped by the people of Xirong. After a while, after everyone calmed down a little, Wen Yan said: "The envoy you sent earlier has brought forty percent of the tribute, and this year it is good to make up for three more achievements, if there is any left, take good care of the Xirong people." ”
"Ah, Qiangmo has already been delivered, why is it so late?" Karma said dumbfoundedly.
Xirong Dianyi coughed urgently, stopped Ketian from asking, bowed his head and thanked him: "Xirong has thanked the general for his kindness, from today on, Shuoxi City will worship the saint and the general's honorable position, Shuoxi will not fall every day, and the incense will continue every day." ”
Li Luo's heart was bitter for a while, he was bored and wanted to vomit, and waved his hand and said: "No need, you go down, all the women in the palace go back, don't send it again." ”
"General Xie." The women were overjoyed, put down the big stone in their hearts, and laughed all of them, a picture of joy for the rest of their lives.
Xirong everyone thanked Li Luo, got up one after another, the fear on his face was a little lighter, a little more lively, Qi Ketian saw that Li Luo didn't want to say much, and was about to take everyone out of the hall, Li Luo suddenly said loudly: "Your king is sick?" ”
Qi Ketian was startled, and some small things in the Shuoxi Imperial City had fallen into Li Luo's eyes, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes, I fell ill last night, and I can't get out of bed this morning. ”
"Well, take care of your health, and after five days, please see the king and discuss post-war matters."
"Heaven commands." After speaking, he withdrew from the side hall with the people of Xirong.
When the Xirong people left the side hall, Yun Wuyan sighed and said, "In my dreams, I always thought that I could one day set foot on the horse, but today I am here, but I can't be happy. ”
Shen Xiangdong stroked his beard and smiled: "I know what a war is, why a war is going to be decided, in the past, the Hou Ye always said that the battlefield can be won or defeated, idealism is not chaotic, victory is not arrogant and defeat is not discouraged, with common heart, General Yun seems to know the three flavors." ”
Yun Wuyan laughed and said, "Mr. Shen is too famous, and Wuyan is still far behind." ”
"Master Hou? Sounds weird. But speaking of which, Mr. Shen is also a Hou Ye. Li Luo said with a smile.
"Master Hou, this name is good, but it doesn't have the style of a general, the last general is still called a general." Hu Chajing said with a smile.
Several generals in the hall laughed in unison. Although Li Luo smiled, he couldn't hide the sorrow between his eyebrows, and said in a long voice: "I hope Qiancheng can understand." ”
Shen Xiangdong and Yun Wuyan glanced at each other, and Yun Wuyan said: "Qiancheng should be able to understand the meaning of the general's move, if Xirong wants to stand on his own and rely on my Dagan army, he will not be able to save a lifetime for a while, and the general will take the risk of blaming the court and the central government, leaving them a chance to breathe. ”
Shen Xiangdong continued: "Xirong is not without a chance to make a comeback, the war in the Western Regions has never stopped for a hundred years, Pingshachuan is better, and then go west, I don't know how many small countries have risen in these years, and how many dead people have destroyed the country."
