Chapter 201: Transactions
In the barracks, Mu Yi held a banquet.
During the banquet, Guo Jia and Xu Huang accompanied each other.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Mu Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be saying to Yu Fuluo.
"Luan Ti Yufuluo, King Zuoxian, crusaded against Zhang Chun when he sent troops to aid the Han, the second year after the Southern Xiongnu coup d'Γ©tat, Qiangqu was killed, the Southern Xiongnu supported the 'Xu Bu Gu Du Hou' for Shan Yu, and the people prevented King Zuo Xian from returning to the royal court, in desperation, he could only collude with the Yellow Turban Yu Party and live a life like a rogue. Until last year, the bones of Xu Bu were waiting to pass away, and the position of the Southern Xiongnu was vacant, which made King Zuo Xian see the hope of recovering the country. β
Yu Fuluo's hand holding the wine bottle suddenly froze in the air, laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "Alas! Originally, there weren't many people under his command, but now ......"
Mu Yi raised his hand and interrupted Yu Fuluo's words: "King Zuoxian, with all due respect, your position is just self-proclaimed, and no one in the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court recognizes it. Before, the prime minister had the means to kill all the Southern Hun cavalry under your command, but after thinking about it, I still felt that you should be let go. In addition, this phase wants to make a deal with King Zuo Xian, I wonder if King Zuo Xian is interested? β
was told that it was a sore spot, and Yu Fuluo's face instantly became gloomy. However, there are Mu Yi's people all around, no matter what Mu Yi says, he can only endure it. What's more, what Mu Yi said is the truth.
Raising his neck and pouring a bottle of turbid wine into his mouth, Yu Fuluo let out a long sigh and said, "What deal is Mu Xiangguo going to do?" β
Mu Yi smiled slightly, got up and walked in front of Yu Fuluo and said: "It's very simple, this prime minister sent troops to help King Zuo Xian regain Shan Yu's position, I don't know what King Zuo Xian wants?" β
"Is that true?" Yu Fuluo suddenly stood up when he heard this, if he could get Mu Yi's help, why didn't he worry about not taking back Shan Yu's position?
Seeing that Mu Yi didn't seem to be joking, Yu Fuluo stabilized his excited emotions and forced himself to calm down and asked, "How is Mu Xiangguo going to help?" β
Mu Yi pointed to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army and said: "The Southern Xiongnu is now at most a population of hundreds of thousands, and the prime minister sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to help King Zuo Xian sweep the Southern Xiongnu and let King Zuo Xian be the top Danyu." β
Since his family knows his own affairs, Yu Fuluo knows that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Southern Xiongnu today, and I am afraid that the old and weak women and children add up to less than 200,000, and if they can go on horses to fight, it is estimated that there are less than 50,000.
If Mu Yi can really send 100,000 horses to help him, it is a sure thing to regain Shan Yu's position.
"Since it's a deal, Mu Xiangguo will definitely not help for free? Mu Xiangguo still talks about the conditions! β
Mu Yi nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Refreshing!" To tell the truth, now that the state is developing, it needs a large number of cultivated cattle, and after the matter is completed, it will require 300,000 cultivated cattle. As he spoke, Mu Yi stretched out three fingers.
"Ahem, ahem...... What the? β
When Yu Fuluo heard this, the wine he had just drunk in his mouth suddenly stuck in his throat, and he choked and coughed again and again.
"Mu Xiangguo is joking? 300,000 head of cattle? I'm afraid that there are no 300,000 cattle in the entire Southern Xiongnu! β
Mu Yi made a pitiful look and said, "Alas! King Zuoxian! Ben Xiang sent 100,000 troops, which is in need of grain and grass, the army goes to war, people and horses need money to eat and drink, weapons need money, soldiers who died in battle need pensions, and 300,000 cattle are already a preferential price! β
Speaking of this, Mu Yi made a concession and said, "That's it!" Benxiang also made concessions, 100,000 cattle, 20,000 war horses, 100,000 women, this is the lowest bottom line, and it can't be compromised! β
Yu Fuluo still said with a bitter face: "100,000 women are easy to say, but if you really want to give 100,000 cattle and 20,000 war horses to Mu Xiangguo, even if you get the position of Shan Yu, how will the clansmen make a living in the future?" β
Mu Yi stretched out his hand and patted Yu Fuluo's shoulder and said, "Hehehe...... King Zuo Xian just rest assured, the prime minister is not the kind of unkind of person, and so on to help Zuo Xianwang when the order is in the back, this minister will set up a market in Taiyuan County, when the Southern Huns only need to use all kinds of leather, wool, cattle, sheep, mules and horses, etc., you can exchange for grain, cloth, salt and other materials in the market, all kinds of items will be clearly marked with prices, there will never be a phenomenon of forced buying and selling. β
Yu Fuluo was moved, if Mu Yi could really set up a market specifically for the Southern Xiongnu, then in the future, the clansmen would not have no food to survive the winter because they froze their cattle and sheep to death. As long as he does this, he will definitely increase his prestige among the clan in the future.
After a long silence, Yu Fuluo finally made up his mind and said, "Okay! According to Mu Xiangguo. β
β¦β¦
At the end of the banquet, after Yu Fuluo left the big tent of the Chinese army, Guo Jia asked puzzledly: "The eldest brother wants cattle and war horses, these are urgently needed things, but what is the use of asking for 100,000 women?" β
Mu Yi looked at Xu Huang and the others, and saw that everyone had the same gaze, so he said: "Don't underestimate these 100,000 women, this is more important than the role of war horses and cattle." β
"What do you say about it, big brother?" Guo Jia was even more puzzled.
"Feng Xiao! Tell me, what is most lacking today? Mu Yi did not answer Guo Jia's words, but changed the topic and asked rhetorically.
Guo Jia answered this question without thinking about it: "Of course, it's 'territory', 'population', and 'money and food'!" β
Mu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I think the most important thing is the population, and only someone can give birth to all things." Nowadays, seventy percent of our soldiers in the state are singles, and if there are a large number of women, the population of the state will increase greatly in a few years, which is definitely beneficial and harmless to us. In addition, at least half of the 100,000 women were Han Chinese robbed by the Southern Huns, and letting them return can be regarded as a great achievement. The other half may be the Southern Huns, or they may be the Xianbei people who robbed, in short, with less than 100,000 women, the Southern Huns will have the disadvantages of population multiplication in a few years, or even decades, and their strength will become weaker and weaker. What's more, we also asked Yu Fuluo for 100,000 cattle and 20,000 war horses. Maybe they will find out about this problem after a long time, but a certain special market has been opened, and they can exchange it for grain cloth, and after a long time, they will be slowly assimilated, and it is estimated that there will be no more Southern Xiongnu in many years! In short, as long as Yu Fuluo agrees, then the Southern Xiongnu will not be afraid in the future! β
Guo Jia and Xu Huang were shocked after hearing this, Mu Yi's move was more ruthless than sending troops to attack the Southern Xiongnu. This is planning to exterminate the Southern Huns!
"Since the eldest brother can help Yu Fuluo regain Shan Yu's position, why don't you directly destroy the Southern Xiongnu?" Guo Jia frowned and asked.
Mu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Even if we capture the Southern Xiongnu, we can't send people to govern the grassland, so it's better to keep them and let them contain the 'Xianbei', 'Wuhuan' and other alien races, so that we have enough time to recuperate." β
When everyone heard this, they nodded and said no more.
The White Polish army was defeated, and all but those who fled surrendered.
The next day, Mu Yi set up camp and returned to Taiyuan, preparing men and horses to help Yu Fuluo regain Shan Yu's position.
β¦β¦
However, it is said that after Guo Tai and Yang Feng fled into the mountains, they left a large number of footprints in the places they passed because the mountains were covered with thick snow. As a result, Gao Shun didn't have to deliberately look for it, he knew the whereabouts of Mrs. Guo and the others.
Chasing and fighting all the way, the Baibo army lost thousands of people, Guo Tai died in the chaos, Yang Feng served as the big leader, and fled to Yuncheng with the remaining seven or eight thousand people, and took refuge in Niu Fu.
After pacifying the internal worries of the Bai Bo army, Gao Shun and Hu Che'er also returned to Taiyuan with the army. The remnants of the Bai Bo Army and Niu Fu were blocked by Huang Zhong from Yuncheng, and the latest chapters of the "Three Kingdoms and One Small Soldier Claw Book House" were read for free for the first time.
