Chapter 182: Trading
With so many people in the Tuyuhun army acting together and entering the border of Minzhou, if the border government doesn't know, Xuan Shijing doesn't believe it, since he knows, then come over and clean up the aftermath for their people.
"Did you pack up all the loot you brought back that day?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Back to the Hou Ye, it has been cleaned up, except for the weapons, what is left is some tattered armor." Gao Jun responded.
"When I went to deliver the letter, tell the government over there that Benhou has a batch of weapons and armor here, and ask them if they want it." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "The rags of the Tuyuhun people, we Datang can't look down on them." ”
What Xuan Shijing said is not nonsense, the standard equipment in the Tang Dynasty army is not comparable to these Hu people, the sophistication of the weapons of the Tang Dynasty is far more than those Hu people, and these trophies this time, in the eyes of the Tang soldiers, are just some broken copper and iron, and the weapons and equipment that have long been eliminated in the Central Plains.
"Master Hou wants to resell military funds? This is a great crime, if the ministers of the DPRK and China know about it......"
Xuan Shijing waved his hand and interrupted Gao Jun's words: "It's just to sell the things of the Tuyuhun people to them again, military funds?" This is not Datang's military funds, this is the spoils of war for the soldiers, we have the right to decide how to deal with it, if someone in the DPRK gossips, then the entire Minzhou military spending, let him come out, as for the price to negotiate with us......" Xuan Shijing smiled: "This kind of thing will be handed over to the Minzhou county order to do, he is more experienced." ”
Minzhou County Commander is still an old oilman, and he will definitely not let the people of Tuyuhun feel any better.
"Yes, Master Hou." Gao Jun responded.
Xuan Shijing's handwriting was sent by Gao Jun to Tuyuhun, and the next day, Tuyuhun patted the messenger over, saying that he wanted to see Xuan Shijing, and Xuan Shijing asked people to lead the messenger directly to Minzhou City.
The place where the army is stationed is secret, and the people of Tuyuhun are not allowed to investigate, if they know the location of the military camp, how can they be tricked in the future?
Qin Bingyue returned to Minzhou City with Xuan Shijing's intentions, and she needed to go to Tuyuhun's messenger with the county order to do what Xuan Shijing wanted.
As for Gao Yuan's side, Gao Yuan has not come back yet, and Xuan Shijing naturally can't get the news from the Tuyuhun Palace.
"Report~~~" The scout ran into Xuan Shijing's tent from outside: "Qi Qi Hou Ye, General Qin's urgent letter." ”
"Bring it in." Xuan Shijing said.
After taking the letter from the scout's hand and inspecting the fire paint, Hyun Shijing opened the letter.
It turned out that yesterday, another Tuyuhun army moved the road to enter Minzhou, but was intercepted by Qin Huaiyu and his troops, but the results were not as gratifying as Xuan Shijing's side.
Qin Huaiyu was facing a large force of Tuyuhun, the number of which had reached five thousand, and it was estimated that he had not received the news of the previous two thousand people, and Tuyuhun was a little unable to sit still, so he simply changed his way into Minzhou.
"Quickly bring a message to General Qin, when cleaning the battlefield, except for the enemy's corpses, as long as you can take them, bring them back to the camp, and hand over the rest to us." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes." The scout departed.
Now these things on Tugu's body, Chiguoguo's are all money.
Up to now, the team of 7,000 people has been planted on the border of Minzhou, and the loss of personnel and military funds is a large amount for Tuyuhun, but it is a large sum, Tuyuhun is not much in the country, and the number of people is only as large as that of the Tang Dynasty, plus Tuyuhun mineral resources are scarce, so iron weapons are also relatively nervous for them, Xuan Shijing is not afraid that they will not pay for these things in their hands to redeem, if they don't pay for it, then Xuan Shijing can return all these weapons to the furnace and smelt them and hand them over to the Ministry of War. In exchange for a certain amount of money and food from the Ministry of War, Xuan Shijing still has the relationship with the Ministry of War.
In this way, even His Majesty Li Er will not say anything, and Xuan Shijing is not greedy himself, but for the welfare of the soldiers in the army.
Tuyuhun has no food, and maybe not much money, but it can be offset by other things, such as cattle, sheep, gold, silver and jade in the treasury, and it is impossible for a Tuyuhun to not even be able to get this little money.
However, Tuyuhun is also unlucky, there is such a behemoth as Datang in the east, and Tubo in the west, which is also not easy to mess with, the land is small, not suitable for farming, every year in winter, if you don't come to Datang to fight the autumn wind, it must be sad.
But who made him run into such a hard stubble as Xuan Shijing.
The envoys of the Tuyuhun government stayed in Minzhou for a day and then returned, and two days later, there were more Tuyuhun people on the border, but these were all unarmed civilians who had been called by the government to dispose of the corpses left there.
Xuan Shijing didn't stop him, he just asked Gao Jun to take some people to watch in secret and not let them make any small moves.
As for the results of the discussion between the envoy and the county order, Tuyuhun side, the government can give a batch of money, buy back part of the military funds first, and let the government pay so much money at one time It is definitely impossible, so it can't be forced.
How much money you have, how many things to take, this is Xuan Shijing's principle, since there is no money, then the rest, wait until you have money, and then redeem it is not too late, there is no shortage of space in the army, just save it for you, if Tuyuhun doesn't want the rest of the things, anyway, it's all iron, go back to the furnace, and the army can't pay for it.
Either how to say that reselling arms is the most profitable, this battle not only pushed Tuyuhun's army back, but also picked up the equipment and military funds, but also made a lot of money for Tuyuhun people, it doesn't matter if the government can't afford it, didn't Gao Yuan go to send a letter to the people in Tuyuhun's palace?
From the military camp to Minzhou City, it takes a day and a night to ride a fast horse, and since the two sides have made a fuss, then next, either Tuyuhun will honestly retract it, or, the soldiers and horses, and the losses this time will be all brought back next time.
Judging from the current situation, the latter is more likely, otherwise what would you live on in winter?
The transaction of military funds was completed in the open space on the border line, and Xuan Shijing personally took people there, and the expression on the faces of Tuyuhun's people when they spent money to buy their things back, Xuan Shijing's heart was relieved.
After the inventory was finished, Xuan Shijing arched his hand towards the other party, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou is here for the soldiers of our army, thank you for your generosity, in the future, this kind of business, Ben Hou hopes that it can be less, and everyone is safe, which is also excellent." ”
As soon as Xuan Shijing's words came out, the official on the opposite side of Tuyuhun had a black face, and he hurriedly arched his hand towards Xuan Shijing, and then took people and pulled supplies in the direction of Tuyuhun's territory.
