The distribution of benefits is the most concerned issue for everyone, including population, land, property, etc., and all the elders straightened their backs and pricked up their ears.

"Let's start with the sheep."

Guo Song specially slowed down his speech so that everyone could hear it clearly, and he said slowly: "The Tang army in Yiwu City has captured 1.5 million sheep and 70,000 war horses, I believe everyone has a number, there are a total of 5.3 million sheep in the Yue Division, 200,000 war horses, and a population of more than 70,000 people, that is to say, the Tang army took less than 30% of the sheep and horses, and the remaining 70% was divided by your tribes, so I don't plan to share the sheep and horses in Yiwu City to everyone, do you have any comments on this?" ”

The elders of the secret department and the pre-branch exchanged a look, they originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they didn't expect Guo Song's opinion to find out the bottom in detail, and then proposing to divide the sheep is probably self-inflicted.

Guo Song saw that everyone didn't speak, so he nodded and continued: "Since there is no opinion, it is so decided, and then there is the armor, materials, and money, the armor in Yiwu's warehouse is gone, I believe it is all in your hands, and I will not come back, leave it to you."

10,000 tents, I will give half to everyone, Tang Army will leave 5,000, 1 million sheepskins I will also share half to you, in addition to the jewelry, porcelain, and silk of the Shatuo Department I will also give half to everyone, but I decided to use 300,000 colored silks for the army, so I will not give them to you, and then I plan to use gold and silver for military expenses, and I will not participate in the distribution, do you have any opinions? ”

The Minister of Secrets couldn't help but say: "At the beginning, the envoy wrote to us, saying that we would divide the Yue Department equally, and we raised troops to respond, so we didn't mention the colorful silk, and hedged with the armor, but the gold and silver should be divided into half of us!" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "It's okay to divide half, but for the prisoners of war in the Battle of Shazhou, the ransom is not ordinarily high, so you have to think about it carefully." ”

The faces of the people changed greatly, they forgot about this, and the elders of the advance branch hurriedly asked: "If we give up the gold and silver, will all the prisoners of war be released?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "Not only are all of them released, but the two thousand Shatuo prisoners of war in our hands are also handed over to you." ”

After everyone discussed for a moment, the minister said: "We agree with Guo Yuanjun's plan, give up gold and silver, implore the prisoners of war to be returned, and hope that pig iron and copper can be distributed fairly." ”

In fact, everyone was more concerned about pig iron and copper, which were strategic materials, purchased from the Sogdians, extremely expensive, and one of the most important conditions for their negotiations with the Ministry of the Moon was to divide half of the copper and iron.

Guo Song said slowly: "There are two plans for you to choose, one plan is that I will give half of the copper and iron to everyone, and the mine belongs to the Tang Army, and the second plan is that the mine will be given to you, and the copper and iron inventory will belong to me, and you can choose one yourself." ”

The elder of the secret department suddenly jumped up, "Why do all the mines belong to the Tang Army?" It's not fair! ”

Guo Song stared at him sharply, "Since you want to talk about fairness, then please give me half of the population and livestock you plundered!" ”

The elder of the pre-branch next to him also waved his fist and shouted: "We are in the secret department, the pre-branch and the Zhu Xie Jinhai are fighting, but we have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, we have paid a heavy price, we should get more!" ”

Guo Song said-for-tat: "The Tang army also paid heavy sacrifices in Shazhou and Tingzhou, how can it be calculated?" ”

The two sides quarreled together, and they refused to give in on the copper and iron plan, the elders of the secret department and the pre-branch were not stupid at all, they got the mine, and they had to organize manpower to mine, the key was that they had no ability to smelt this piece, and they had to beg the Tang Army, and the Tang Army would at least take away thirty percent, so they resolutely refused to give in to the 800,000 catties of pig iron and 300,000 catties of blister copper in stock.

Guo Song suggested that the discussion be suspended today, and that they should go back and discuss with their respective chiefs before continuing to discuss the copper, iron and land issues.

The elders of the secret department and the pre-branch rushed away angrily, and Guo Song looked at their distant backs, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

.........

At night, Guo Song was sitting in a large tent and wrote a brief eagle letter to Zhang Qianyi and Pan Liao in Hexi, instructing them to send a convoy to Yiwu to carry supplies.

At this time, the soldiers at the door of the tent said, "Envoy, they are here!" ”

Guo Song put down his pen and smiled: "Please let them in!" ”

The soldiers brought in two old men, one is the Minister of Wusun who took the lead in expressing his position today, and the other is the Minister of Lieshan, the Wusun people mainly live at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and for a long time, they have been closely related to the Tang Army in Beiting, and Lieshan is the Flame Mountain of Turpan, located at the junction of Xizhou and Tingzhou, and the relationship with the Tang Army is also very close, they are actually Wusun people.

Guo Song invited the two elders to sit down, and said with a smile: "The harvest is not small!" ”

Minister Wusun nodded, "The harvest is not bad, but compared to the loss we have been exploited, this harvest is insignificant. ”

"You'll get something to gain."

After speaking, Guo Song said again: "I invited the two of you to come over this time, I want to know about the current situation of the secret department and the pre-branch, I believe you should be very clear, can you tell me about it." ”

The two elders glanced at each other, and they immediately realized that Tang Jun was about to attack the secret department and the advance branch.

Minister Lieshan didn't have much enthusiasm, but Minister Wusun was excited, and the secret department still occupied half of their pasture!

Minister Wusun hurriedly said: "These two tribes and the Zhuyue Department are actually the same root and the same species, they are the three tribes formed by the division of brothers decades ago, whether it is the secret department or the pre-branch, their biggest dream is to replace the Chuyue Department to become the master of Shatuo, they are willing to send troops to help the Tang Army exterminate the Chuyue Department, one of the reasons is to replace it." ”

"And what about the other reason?"

"Another reason is the personal grudge with Zhu Xie Jinhai, the Yizhou mine originally belonged to the secret department, was occupied by the Chu Yue department, in order to compete for the mine, the two tribes broke out a war fifteen years ago, Zhu Xie Jinhai led the army to defeat the secret department, in order to make an example, he slaughtered more than 6,000 secret prisoners of war, the old chief of the secret department died in the hands of Zhu Xie Jinhai, and he broke his head with a stick, this is the reason why the secret department hated Zhu Xie Jinhai."

"But they didn't learn their lesson, and they still want to continue to fight against the strong." Guo Song hit the nail on the head.

Elder Wusun smiled bitterly, "What the envoy said is very profound! ”

"How strong are they now? It gives the impression that they seem to have an endless army. ”

"How is it possible, now the weakest of the six departments is the secret department, their main army was completely annihilated by Zhu Xie Jinhai, Zhu Xie Jinhai was ruthless, almost slaughtered the army of the secret department, I estimate that it would be good if the secret department can make up 3,000 people now."

"What about the pre-branch?" Guo Song asked again.

The minister of Lieshan next to him said: "The pre-branch is a little better, it is not much better, they also suffered heavy losses, this time Zhu Xie Jinhai's goal is to attack their two tribes, beat the two of them down, and they can rebuild Shatuo, in fact, Zhu Xie Jinhai is almost successful, at the critical moment, the Tang army occupied Yiwu City, and the morale of the Yue Department collapsed all of a sudden, and it was defeated. ”

Guo Song unfolded a map and pointed to the Zheluo Manshan in the north of Yizhou: "The secret department and the pre-branch army are currently in the south and north of Zheluo Manshan, right!" ”

Minister Wusun and Minister Lieshan glanced at each other and nodded slowly together, "That's right! ”

Guo Song looked at the map and said lightly: "Convince the other four departments to send troops together!" The army is wiped out by the Tang Army, the population and pastures belong to you, the cattle and sheep are divided in half, and the other property belongs to the Tang Army! ”

Minister Wusun and Minister Lieshan discussed for a moment, and Elder Wusun said: "Our two departments agree, and we will persuade the other two departments, and reply to the envoy early tomorrow morning!"

Guo Song smiled slightly, "Then wait for the good news!" ”

.........

Located two hundred miles northeast of Yiwu City, Zheluo Man Mountain is a famous pasture in Yizhou, with the Pu Sea in the north and the Yiwu River in the south, nourishing this rich land, with abundant pastures and herds of cattle and sheep.

On the west bank of the Iwu River, Garland, the great chief of the Secret Division, led an army of 4,000 troops here, and this was their old lair, and thousands of domes were scattered along the river, which continued fifty miles to the south.

The northernmost part of Yizhou is Jinshan, where there are larger areas of high-quality pastures and nine tribes in the Yuebu, and over there is the old nest of the Chuyue Ministry, and it is also the place where the two tribes of Chumi and Advance are ready to divide up, as for the pastures at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, they are given to the other four tribes such as Wusun and Lieshan to distribute.

Garland was about forty years old, not tall but very strong, with a wide face, a flat nose, and slender eyes, typical of the appearance of a Fern man.

At this time, Garland was pacing back and forth in the big tent, listening to his uncle introduce him to the negotiation with Tang Jun, and an angry look flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Garland said with an annoyed face: "This Guo Song is very cunning!" What is the use of jewelry and silk, women's playthings, but he refuses to take out gold and silver, and more importantly, pig iron, 800,000 catties of pig iron, does he want to swallow it alone? ”

"He used the mine as a fuss, but the miners all fled, and we had to find someone to open the mine ourselves, where to find someone? I've seen through him, and he says it beautifully, but in fact he doesn't have any sincerity at all. ”

Garland snorted heavily, "Driving the wolf and welcoming the tiger, I knew that I should have joined forces with Zhu Xie Jinhai to deal with the Tang Army together!" ”

At this time, Garland suddenly felt something, only to see a bowl of milk tea on the table shaking slightly, he stared at the milk tea for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Not good!" ”

He turned and rushed out of the tent, only to see a sudden scream and wailing in the distance, and a cavalry overwhelmingly entered the army camp, and the soldiers were unguarded and fled in all directions, and on the other side of the Iwu River, there were constant cries of women's screams.

Garland clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, the surname Guo is really ruthless!" ”
