Chapter 504: Governor of the River Valley
Chapter 504: Governor of the River Valley
The appearance of Pakistan Tie gave Li Huaitang a new idea, and the original idea of continuing to go southwest along the Indus River was dispelled, and he needed to keep a low profile before surprising the big cannibal. In Li Huaitang's eyes, Ba Tie was an ideal agent, and it was much easier to buy sand sugar from the countries of the river valley in his name, and then sell it to Ningyuan City than to come forward himself. Ningyuan City's 'fine' silk, porcelain, white cloth, paper and other goods are deeply loved by the people here, and they are not afraid that they will not compete for 'exchange'. Prior to this, the commercial and trade exchanges between Ningyuan City and the countries of the river valley were only small fights of sporadic caravans, and this time he personally brought sincerity, as well as the overall arrangement of Pakistan Railway, it was imperative to organize large-scale caravans.
At the same time, Li Huaitang planned to use the name of Pakistan to establish a coalition army in the valley countries, to resist the great Tibetan food externally, and to suppress the powerful nobles internally. The valley plain is his sugar-producing powerhouse, and the role of the coalition forces is not only to prevent interference from foreign forces, but also to ensure that Ningyuan City and other countries are traded and priced.
The results of the battle were finally counted, and the six monkeys reported to Li Huaitang with excitement.
"More than 500,000 taels of wheat, 10,000 catties of gold, and more than 100,000 taels of silver......"
The grain alone is enough for more than 10,000 people and horses under Li Huaitang to eat for two or three years, and the reputation of the river valley granary is indeed not blown.
"General, why don't we go south and occupy this place?" Regarding Li Huaitang's decision, Li Siye was a little anxious.
"That's right, the wheat here is harvested twice a year, and the yield is large, as long as we occupy this place, we can raise hundreds of thousands of more troops!" Wei Anguo was not only anxious, but also 'agitated'.
The generals seconded the proposal and asked to go south.
Li Huaitang smiled: "It's easy to occupy this place, but the problem is far from being as simple as imagined. First of all, the Great Cannibals, who will attack them as soon as they hear that we control their rear. In order to protect our existing interests, we can only continue to reinforce from the direction of Ningyuan, and you have already experienced the difficulties and dangers of the green ridge road, without effective support, the land of the river valley can only change hands again, then everything we do now will be in vain. ”
"But are we just going to let this opportunity go?" Wei Anguo was unwilling.
"Hehe, the rice has to be eaten bite by bite, when the conditions are ripe, it is natural to catch it, and we can't run away after all!"
"Are the conditions ripe?" In the eyes of the generals, what the general said at this time seemed unfathomable, and although he was puzzled, he heard another deep meaning.
Li Huaitang didn't explain, and suddenly said loudly with a commanding 'tone': "Six monkeys listen to orders!" ”
"Here!" The six monkeys raised their heads like 'shooting' and 'chest'.
Under the terrifying and suspicious gaze of the generals, the Six Monkeys became the first governor of the valley!
This move shows that the general 'wants' to annex the place.
With Li Huaitang's instructions to the six monkeys, the generals were relieved. It turned out that the general was going to quietly swallow this piece of 'fat' and 'meat'. First of all, the Six Monkeys will recruit troops in the name of Pakistan and build a strong army in the local area. According to the general's intentions, this army will be used as a killer weapon, first, it can deal with the invasion of the Tibetans, and secondly, once the war between Ningyuan and Da Shi breaks out in the future, they will be a sharp knife to stab the big cannibal chrysanthemum 'flower'.
In order to paralyze the Great Cannibal, Li Huaitang decided that this army existed in the name of the River Valley Alliance, and the officers were all from the soldiers of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry. Li Huaitang allocated more than 100 people from the general's cavalry and the tiger cavalry to the six monkeys as the initial preparation personnel, and he also planned to successively select backbone cadres from among the graduated cadets of the military academy to strengthen the building of the grassroots officer corps.
On the day when the coalition forces formed their fighting power, the land of the river valley changed hands. Of course, nominally, the countries are still the countries, but the person who controls this place has quietly been Li Huaitang. The advantage of keeping a low profile is not to attract attention, before the big cannibals and Tubo people understand, Ningyuan's forces have gained a firm foothold in the local area, and then attack Tocharian in the north and south, and open up the 'Jiao' road to Ningyuan, and at that time, no one can shake the ownership of the valley.
"High! High! It's really high! ”
A voice of admiration surrounded Li Huaitang.
The first recruiting station of the Six Monkeys was the Karma Kingdom, and with the cooperation of Sujia, 3,000 strong men were successfully recruited. The recruits' Tubo equipment, from war horses, armor to weapons, are all trophies of the tiger horse.
Recruits face a terrifying challenge on their first day of enlistment. The battlefield that exterminated the Tubo people that day was full of corpses, and the six monkeys and others brutally 'forced' the soldiers to build a Beijing temple on the spot, and the material was the head of 3,000 Tubo soldiers, of course, the head had to be cut by these recruits themselves.
From the beginning of Jingguan, the prestige of the coalition army was first established.
In a few days, Pakistan returned and brought with him his father, a secret king.
Compared with Pakistan, King Suman is obviously much more sophisticated and cautious, and only after asking for a long time to determine Li Huaitang's intentions did he get to the point.
Weak countries have no foreign 'relations'. Su Man is old and sophisticated, in his eyes, whether it is the great cannibal's rampant conquest, the looting and killing of the Tubo people, or Li Huaitang's foresight, although the essence is the same, however, he can't choose, Li Huaitang does not wave his troops to sweep and loot is already blessed by God, and furthermore, Li Huaitang can choose dozens of agents, fancy him, that is his glory, is his opportunity, once missed, the consequences are even worse.
Choice is the result of trade-offs, comparisons, compromises, and concessions to reality. With Li Huaitang's cooperation, at least, his family's hereditary power can be continued, the family's interests are protected to the greatest extent, and as an agent of the strong, his status is naturally higher than that of the other dozens of countries, and the interests are naturally self-evident.
However, Suman also had concerns.
"According to the general's request, our caravan will be huge, how can we ensure safety on the road? How to control the territory through the Great Cannibal? ”
On this issue, Li Huaitang has a comprehensive plan.
"Security, the king can rest assured, I will send troops to the country of Gulu to meet and escort the caravan, and there is no need to worry about the rogue horse bandits in the territory of Dashi, I have my own arrangements. As for the level of the Great Cannibal, the king has to bother, there is a saying that money can make the devil grind. Great cannibals also need to eat the fireworks of the world, and in this regard, I think, the king is more 'proficient' than I am. ”
Suman thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Big cannibalism is easy to deal with, as long as you don't carry food, as long as you have money to open up the joints, it's not a big problem. He was most worried about the horse bandits on the road, although he couldn't guess what method Li Huaitang would use to deal with the horse bandits in Tocharo, but this was related to Ning Yuan's interests, and he believed that Li Huaitang would not use this as a joke.
Talking about cooperation, Su Man made a reluctant request.
"Tianzhu people? The Tianzhu people want to beat you? ”
In the angry and unwilling narration of Pakistan, Li Huaitang was surprised to hear the Tang version of the story of India and Pakistan, and heard the historical contradictions between the river valley countries represented by Pakistan Tie and the Tianzhu countries represented by Magadha, as well as the two major wars between them in the past.
As a result of the war, the countries of the valley were completely defeated and suffered heavy losses, and last year, the Tianzhu countries provoked contradictions again, and their armies were gathering and were about to launch an offensive.
"It seems that history always has a source." What Li Huaitang said made everyone 'touch' their heads.
"Who bullied our Batie brothers, beat the fuck!"
