Chapter 625: The Way Home (2)

In mid to late May, the barbarian king Brenduo was far away, the situation further improved, Bailiyan was anxious to return to China, and after reaching an agreement with Gongliangwen, Bailiyan shared more than 600,000 people from the Central Plains, more than 57,800 old soldiers, tens of thousands of wounded and sick people, and the old soldiers were mainly naval troops and most of the craftsmen. Zhiguo will provide roads and transportation capacity for grain and grass to facilitate the return of the Xian army.

All the spare pack horses and unicorn horses were handed over to the royal guests, and all the Jin Xuedi war horses were confiscated, and the Xian army received 20,000 uneven Central Plains war horses as exchange compensation, and Gongliangwen was much better, and got 50,000 better Central Plains war horses in exchange.

At the same time, the Xianguo State finally only got more than 12,000 female unicorns, 14,000 male unicorns, and 30,000 pack horses, and the right to graze livestock and horses in the territory of Yuke without compensation, including the grazing rights of Jianbao horses and thousands of horses.

At the beginning of June, the brigade was handed over to Sikong Nan, Bailiyan with 20,000 cavalry, and borrowed 30,000 war horses from Yuke, and 50,000 people arrived at Jichi with valuables, arrested Wang Tan for interrogation, not only did he refuse to admit it, but Bailiyan acquiesced in what he did.

The reason is that in order to gain a firm foothold in the south, Bailiyan did acquiesce in the deduction of medicinal materials and military funds in order to make it better. But he was never allowed to sell all the army's grain and grass, and the whereabouts of the money were unknown, and Wang Tan refused to admit it, so Bai Liyan had no choice but to kill him to calm the army's heart.

originally wanted to escort him back to Xianguo and hand it over to King Xian, but Bai Liyan was only worried that it would be very closely implicated and make it difficult for King Xian, so in the end it was self-defeating, so he had to be hastily beheaded without getting a confession, and appointed Jiang Zhan as the overseer.

Jiang Zhan was not allowed to return to Xianguo because of the anger of the King of Xian, and he complained to Zhao Xun many times about Wang Tan, all of which were suppressed by the Marquis of Dingyang, who offended a lot of magnates in the court, and there was no way to return to Xianguo, so he left him in Qianyue Mountain to live, and at the same time handed over the unicorn, Jianbao, and Maxima to his stocking.

In May, the king of Xian was about to return north, and he was ecstatic for several days.

In mid-June, Baili Yan sent Lu Gao 100 people, rode a strong BMW to hold the Yuke Fu Festival, borrowed the Song Kingdom, and galloped north through Zhiguo to report the victory, and arrived in Qiling in early July.

"Great king, good news, good news......" Gao Xun shouted loudly and quickly ran towards King Xian.

King Xian's face jumped with joy, and he put down his fishing rod and hurriedly walked towards Gao Xun:

"Gao Qing, but Yan Gongzi has entered the country!"

"King Qiyu, Yan Gongzi has not yet entered Xianguo, it is General Lu Gao who has reported the victory in advance."

"Oh, quick, bring the Lark Garden to the widow."

"No!"

King Xian rubbed his hands and was in high spirits, and after waiting for a long time, Lu Gao led a horse to the garden:

"Minister Lu Gao is late, see my king!"

Lu Gao bowed, and King Xian hurriedly helped him up:

"General Lu, hurry up and excuse me."

As soon as the words fell, King Xian's eyes were suddenly shocked by the tall horse behind Lu Gao:

"Obediently, General Lu, this horse is so strong and majestic, and the horse's hooves have a huge head, it is really a strange beast in the world!"

"King, this is a healthy BMW, also known as Qianli Yue, faster than Jin Xuedi people's thousands of miles, a day galloping 500 miles without tired, a day slow more than a thousand miles of land, is a hundred miles of general return to the north, occasionally get a BMW.

This horse is the most docile and fastest of them, and it is carefully selected by the general to give to the king, and if you get this horse, the king can reach any place in my Xian country within two days. ”

"It's really a good horse...... King Xian took the BMW and stroked the horse's neck.

The next moment Gao Xun asked:

"General Lu shouldn't have many good horses."

"Don't hide the king, the tall man, this horse has a total of thousands of male and female horses, and nearly 30,000 male and female unicorns, because this horse is not suitable for the climate of the north, the long-term domestication of the north will no longer be able to do so, so if you want to get its good breed, you can only domesticate it in the southern plateau, and after its descendants are in a herd, you can get one of them, for the use of my Xian country.

At that time, our Xianguo can build an elite iron cavalry with this horse, and it will be invincible in the world. ”

"Good, good ......"

King Xian praised his good words again and again, and his heart was overjoyed.

"General Lu, where is Gongzi Yan now?"

"The general personally escorted all the valuable materials to the north, and it is still in the south of Zhiguo."

"The widow heard, heard the ......"

King Xian looked at Gao Xun, Gao Xun understood, and immediately retreated, and there were only three people left on the scene. At this time, King Xian continued:

"The widow heard that there was a ransom, is it true or not?"

"The king of Qiqi, the general sent his ministers to meet the king first, and it is precisely for this matter. During the four years of going south, the income was huge, and the wealth of the Jinxuedi people was really shocking. ”

"So, Gongziyan has brought back all the huge wealth he has gained?" Gao Xun asked hurriedly.

"The general had a secret agreement with the Yuke and the Gongliang clan, so the gold and silver treasures were divided among the three parties, and one was taken out to house the new vassals and the old and disabled prisoners of war. In addition, during the period when the north returned to the south, the countries pressed urgently, and almost went to war for this, so they lost some more. ”

"How much did you bring back?"

Gao Xun asked again, and King Xian glared sideways and said:

"Ahem, Gao Qing, go and prepare a banquet for the widow, it should be sumptuous, and the widow will treat General Lu and others ceremoniously."

Gao Xunmeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses:

"Oh, get ready immediately."

Gao Xun hurriedly retreated, King Xian waited for a while, and made sure that there was no one around, King Xian was impatient, approached Lu Gao and asked:

"Let's talk about it now, how much did Yan Gongzi bring back from the bottom, is there 500,000 inches of silver?"

Lu Gao rolled his eyes, his face was shocked, and King Xian saw that his face was wrong, and said:

"There are no 500,000, there should be 200,000 or 300,000."

"Back to the king, not counting other jewels, jade, and goods, there are 475,600 gold coins alone, and 8,367,800 silver coins. In addition, more than 40,000 gold coins and 920,000 silver coins were used for the new vassals and the settlement of foreign troops and their families. ”

King Xian had no concept of gold and silver coins, but thinking that it was impossible for a gold coin to be equal to an inch of silver, he was anxious when he heard it, so he hurriedly asked:

"This barbarian's gold and silver coins are about the same as the gold and silver of the Central Plains?"

"Five pieces of gold are about three more inches of gold, and five silver coins are about two more inches of silver, so if you don't count the placement fee, there should be at least 290,000 pieces of gold and 3.35 million pieces of silver, and the gold and silver of the Jinxuedi people are better than those of the Central Plains, so in fact, because of the weight and fineness, after casting the Central Plains gold and silver, there may be more."

When Su Fangyi, Gongliangxiu, and Bailiyan divided the spoils, each family received more than 355,000 gold coins and more than 6.51 million silver coins.

The total amount of ransom for the armistice agreement is a certain amount, but no one knows how much the three families divided, and Lu Gao will not know about it.

The 475,600,000 gold coins and 8,367,800 silver coins he told King Xian, the extra part was naturally transferred from Bailiyan's secret account.

In private, Bailiyan still withheld 400,000 gold coins, 3 million silver coins, and all industrial diamonds and countless other goods, which can be described as a rich country.

Because the outside world does not know how much of this ransom has been divided between the three families, the Gongliang clan has not been less intercepted from the ransom, and the Gongliang clan has not been plundered privately before, and no one knows how much it has been hidden, which has laid a huge bane for the suspicion of the monarchs and ministers of Zhiguo in the future.

At this time, King Xian only felt that he was in a trance in front of him, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked urgently:

"General Lu, the widow heard me right!"

"If you count the other jewels and goods, as well as the gold and silver in the hands of the soldiers, the new subjects, and the family members, I am afraid that the wealth will increase by at least thirty percent. In addition......"

Lu Gao paused, wanted to speak and stopped, and King Xian was anxious:

"What else?"

"General, he may still have interceptions, maybe a lot."

When King Xian heard the news, he laughed:

"Hehaha...... Yan Gongzi has a credit for the widow, a credit to the Xianguo, and even more to the world, how can the widow treat him lightly, the widow has his own measure. ”

"King Shengming!"

"Hehaha...... By the way, does General Lu know about black fire powder and earth-shattering fire? ”

"The minister knows that he has seen it in the barbarian land and Qianyue Mountain, but the general also has the secret recipe of black fire powder, and it is more powerful than the Changsun Kingdom, and the general said that in the future, the Xianguo will have a new method that is ten times more powerful than the victory."

"Okay, great. These snobs, the widows will have to return them sooner or later. ”

While speaking, the crown prince Jiang Yu hurriedly broke in:

"Son-in-law, see father."

At this time, Lu Gaotong saluted the prince, and King Xian restrained his joy, and said:

"Didn't Sting'er observe the people's situation in Xishi, why, it was done so quickly?"

"Back to my father, my sons heard that General Lu Gao had won the victory and returned to the capital, so I came to congratulate my father."

"Oh, yes, yes...... General Lu, the crown prince has not been seen for many years, and now he is assisting the widow in the government, if the prince does not notice anything in the future, General Lu can pay more attention to the widow. ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the prince is young and sympathetic to the people, it is really the blessing of the king, the luck of the Xianguo, how dare the minister advise His Royal Highness the prince."

"General Lu has made outstanding achievements, so he should ask General Lu for advice." The prince said, and he also found an amazing BMW on the side, and asked again: "Father, is this horse ......?"

King Xian looked happy and said:

"This is a thousand-mile leap, galloping five hundred miles without getting tired, slowing down for more than a thousand miles a day, better than the barbarian thousand-mile horse, it is a BMW selected by Yan Gongzi to dedicate to the widow."

"It's really amazing, boy, congratulations to my father for getting this good horse."

The prince congratulated again and again, but King Xian faintly saw the covetousness in his eyes, as well as the edge that was always in the depths.

"The widow set up a banquet today to reward General Lu Gao, and the prince accompanied the widow to have a banquet."

"The retainers obeyed."

……

At this time, Baili Mansion was busy, and all the women thought that Baili Yan was back in the capital, and she was busy:

"Chunyu, you see that my hairpin is not beautiful, is it not right."

Jiang Rong fiddled with the hosta on her head and asked Xiao Chunyu, Xiao Chunyu pouted and said:

"There is no hairpin more beautiful than my sister's hosta in the world, how can there be no reason why it is not beautiful."

While the two were talking, Tang Tao ran to the house out of breath:

"The eldest lady, the second lady, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's not an adult, it's General Lu Gaolu."

Jiang Rong hurriedly said when she heard the news:

"What, you say it again?"

"It's not my lord, it's General Lu Gao who came back first, and my lord is still in Zhiguo."

"Okay, I'm so angry that I've been walking for so long, and I don't know how to come back quickly!"

Jiang Rong smashed the table with one hand and pulled out the hosta angrily. Xiao Chunyu said at this time:

"Sister, don't blame the adults, this is thousands of miles away, adults are burdened with heavy responsibilities, where can you get up quickly."

"You always speak for him, all these years, whoever has not guarded the empty house, you have benefited." Jiang Rong said angrily, her whole body was on fire, and she couldn't wait to drag Bailiyan home immediately.

At this time, Xiao Chunyu said aggrievedly:

"My sister is angry again, and I'm also thinking about my sister and adults."

"Okay, okay, I really can't help you, let's scatter, let's disperse."

Disperse the crowd, Jiang Rong walked around with nothing to do, and the center of her chest was annoyed.
