Chapter 360: Who's the Fool
Lu Peng sat on a folding stool, facing a group of businessmen who followed closely, sneezed a few times in a very unsightly manner, rubbed his nose again, and muttered in a low voice: "I think I have been calculated." β
As soon as these words came out, the businessmen who were surrounding them immediately expressed their loyalty and sincerity to Lu Peng, and they all said that they had absolutely no intention of calculating the state pastor.
Lu Peng smiled and said, "You haven't calculated me yet? When this comes out of your mouth, do you believe it? Then he pointed to the horses parked outside: "One by one, they spared no expense to buy BMW horses, but they told me that they were donkeys, and they didn't just think that when I sold the grassland land, you could enclose a wider territory one by one." β
When they were told what they thought, these businessmen were ashamed one by one.
Lu Peng laughed: "You don't need to be too careful, because I have no concept of the number of acres of land, I can only use my old method to let you run donkey enclosure, of course, I see that behind you, there are all groups of healthy donkeys, as for the ears of donkeys are long or short, I have never raised livestock, how do I know?" Anyway, you say yes. β
After receiving such a generous explanation from the state pastor, the dozens of new merchants, as well as the representatives sent by various families, all laughed with confidence.
Lu Peng smiled more comfortably. These big families take themselves as fools, but who are the real stupid people?
I sold the land of the Wuhuan people, the kind that I still didn't get it, to them, and exchanged it for real money, and I will continue to fight, and within a month, it is estimated that I can even sell them the Arctic Ocean. The money earned, even if he no longer levied a penny of tax on his people, could completely calm the world. Greedy, I don't know if it's me, or the group of people in front of me?
So Lu Peng was verbose, continued to explain his original policy, continued to shirk his responsibility, and continued to say inexplicable things.
The sun was moving towards the top of his head little by little, and although it was autumn, these people in front of Lu Peng had already begun to sweat profusely.
They are in a hurry, because as time goes by, according to the rules, the horse staking must come back before sunset, otherwise it will be in vain, and their own state shepherd will go down so verbosely, it is estimated that everyone will already sunset before they can get on the horse.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Peng stood up and waved his hand generously: "Now, start running the donkey enclosure." β
As soon as this sentence came out, those excellent riders who were sent by various families disappeared immediately.
Lu Peng fanned the dust flying in front of him with his sleeve, and said to Xu Jie with a smile: "Take a horse with more than 100,000 yuan to act as a donkey, and use those hired best riders to act as a representative, to deceive me of the number of acres of land, they really treat me as a fool." β
Xu Jie laughed and quacked: "But this land is not yours yet, you sold it, but the land of the Wuhuan people, if one day when you and Badun sit together, you tell him that you have sold out his land, and he has no place to stand, in fact, you don't need to fight to the death with Badun, because Badun will definitely be angry." β
Lu Peng immediately became serious: "It's nothing for us to die, as long as Wuhuan is not destroyed, I will not be reconciled." β
Xu Jie sighed, now that his lord is becoming more and more extreme, why do he have to destroy the human race? This is not in harmony with the way of the saint's loyalty.
But who eats and who does it, and especially, in this war, there are also huge dividends? Although after marrying Mi Zhu's sister, the rich dowry made him one of the second generation of the rich Han, but who is afraid of money biting his hand? If you have money, you can be willful, can you pretend to be forceful if you have money, and when you have countless money, you can pretend to be willful.
"However, it's still far away, so let's face the tribe of Uyan."
Wuyan, a tribal group in the southern grassland, has become Lu Peng's first target, and at the same time, because of the existence of Lu Peng's army, countless horse bandits like mad dogs have begun to rush into the grassland and begin to wantonly bite this fat lamb.
In fact, not only horse bandits, but even businessmen have changed their careers to become robbers, after all, what they rob themselves is still more cost-effective than buying it in the hands of others, and they don't have the capital.
Among them, Lu Peng also encountered several spontaneous teams of border people, although the strength was not large, but it was enough for them to become little rich people by fighting the autumn wind and robbing the tribes that were left alone.
Just yesterday, Lu Peng met a team composed of border people and robbed a fish that had slipped through the net.
At that time, they sold the severed heads to LΓΌ Peng, but the cattle and sheep they seized were driven back to Han and not sold on the spot.
When asked why, one of them told him that the head was sold directly to the adults for cash, and the gold and silver were taken home for collection, and the cattle, sheep and horses should be driven back to be used as cattle and sheep for grazing and breeding.
On the one hand, Lu Peng is happy that these border people can participate in this feast of the strong, which can be said to be that all the people are soldiers, and at the same time, he is even more pleased to see that these border people are careful and calculating, and the Han people will live.
It is good to cultivate wolf nature, but all people lose their nature and become hungry wolves, which is a kind of sadness, and the consequences in the future will be difficult to manage.
But at this time, Lu Peng also saw one thing that he didn't want to see, that is, the news was constantly leaking.
Originally, his own team was strong, especially those brocade guards who were one in a hundred, and they covered the entire battlefield, even the horse bandits, one by one, they were ruthless, and implemented his policy of killing the enemy completely.
However, the addition of these border people has made their actions to cover the battlefield and become full of loopholes, after all, the combat effectiveness of these border people, as well as their organizational ability, is absolutely not good, when they rob a small tribe, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, and Uyan will get his own news and whereabouts.
"Just received a secret report from the Jinyi Guard, Wuyan's tribe group suddenly moved, their tribe shrank to the core again, and the released patrols began to become more frequent, and there is absolutely no one riding alone, it seems that our news has leaked out."
Lu Peng sighed helplessly, what he was most worried about had happened.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, we have killed tens of thousands of their clansmen, even if they are fools, they will be alert, but adults don't have to blame themselves." Xu Jie saw that Lu Peng's expression became heavy and explained him.
Lu Peng put his hands behind his back, looked at the north from afar, and said with a wry smile: "I understand this truth, after all, there are too few fools and too many smart people, what I'm worried about now is that Wuyan will start to search for their main tribal force, so that they are huddled together, and we will not have the ability to destroy them again." β
Your own strength is here, and using your own less than 20,000 soldiers to attack a tribal group of more than 100,000 people is simply asking for your own death, if you do this, you will become a fool.
I really can't think of anything about how to get them to come out and attack themselves again.
