Lin Bin felt that the word 'Xingshi asked for guilt' was very bad in the current situation, and it was the three coalition forces that took advantage of the main force of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to go deep into the grassland to fight thousands of miles to the West River to besiege Shiyan, which was an unforgivable thing in anyone's eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He didn't care what Lu Yan cared about the ancient generals of the Imperial Tomb, he only knew that if he didn't let the three alliances pay the price this time, it would give many tribes in the grassland the impression that 'the West River can be entered at any time', prestige is more important than life in the eyes of nomads, because prestige can deter enemies who intend to invade and reduce a lot of unnecessary disputes.

Lu Yan planned to blur the past, he knew what Lin Bin wanted to do next, and thought that Lin Bin would not have a bad relationship with the forces on his side, so not mentioning who offended whom was obviously the best solution, but what he didn't expect was that he miscalculated again, Lin Bin not only mentioned it, but also mentioned it very domineeringly.

They were sure that the information they had obtained before coming to Xihe was that the Haw Par Cavalry had less than 10,000 combatants, and that the so-called war servants were only 15,000 troops, and that the Haw Par Cavalry did not have the ability to include Xihe in their sphere of influence at that time, so there was no offense.

The grassland is a world where strength speaks, and if the strength is not enough, only by pretending to be a grandson, asking for forgiveness from the strong in a soft posture, and offering enough apologies, it is possible to settle the dispute.

Now, Lu Yan has to think about it clearly, should he still wishfully think that the man in front of him is a fierce general who does not surrender to the Han State in Gongsun Hong's mouth?

Lin Bin didn't pay attention to Lu Yan and the others whose faces were constantly changing, he needed to show enough patience to talk as little as possible. This gives a sense of impenetrable posture and can gain many advantages in negotiations. He had no interest in fighting the tripartite coalition at the moment, and the main purpose of this judgment was only to establish the first step of contact. It can be regarded as getting to know Lu Yan positively and preparing for future plans.

Because of Liu Jing's presence, Lin Bin was subject to too many restrictions, and he couldn't discuss the possibility of joining forces with the three grassland forces in the presence of a Han princess, right? The consequence of that is to make the mother-in-law in her arms think that this is to unite against the Han State, and she will definitely not think in the direction of dealing with the Xiongnu, after all, Liu Jing has a preconceived idea that Lin Bin is going to embark on the road of confrontation with the Han State.

Azam couldn't swallow his saliva. He muttered in his heart, firmly believing that Lin Bin had something to say, and he was pursuing the siege of the city. With the cultural level of the Qiang people, they are destined to not be able to conceive too many beautiful words. But it doesn't mean that being uneducated is stupid, will Azam be a fool if he can lead one alone? He blinked his eyes and looked at Lu Yan, he keenly found that Lin Bin didn't want to embarrass Lu Yan very much, and at this time he was ready to push Lu Yan out as a substitute for the dead ghost.

Lu Yan didn't like the feeling of being shocked. "General Lin. What do you want? ”

Lin Bin showed a harmless smile, "Not much, really not much...... All the war horses of the Qin people here, the pre-Qin and Di tribes each left 2,000 war horses. At the same time, the three departments left a person with a high enough status. ”

The Northwest Wolf raised his eyebrows, "We'll lose if we fight, but you can't capture everyone!" ”

The implication is that as long as one of the three coalition forces escapes back, a series of retribution will come.

Lin Bin simply ignored the threat of the Northwest Wolf. "I've had countless enemies from the beginning and don't care about three more. Others can run back. Not necessarily for the three of you. ”

The Northwest Wolf wanted to attack, but was pulled by Lu Yan when he was about to stand up.

"Why should General Lin be too strong, is it true to hear that the general intends to set up a border city in Xihe?"

Lin Bin knew that Lu Yan was an understanding person, and he must have gotten enough information from Gongsun Hong, and what he wanted was Lu Yan's current attitude, after all, no matter how strong the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was, it was a newly rising force, and there was a big gap between the connections and the old forces, so it was better to let Xian Qin take the initiative to come in than to impose oppression.

On the other hand, Lin Bin felt that Lu Yan knew the rhythm of negotiation very well, and it can be seen that Lu Yan had experienced such a scene before, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides dissipated with a single sentence, and was replaced by a period of suppressed silence.

The border city on the border of the Han State is very important to the grassland tribes, the nomads have low productivity, there is no commendable production technology, which is destined to not be able to make exquisite utensils like the Han Kingdom, the nomads have a great demand for exquisite utensils, brightly colored cloths, ornaments, etc., and the merchants carry goods to venture into the grassland to sell can not meet the needs of most of the nomads, and most of the cheap ones are close to the border tribes, and a little farther away is that there is a lot of wealth that cannot be obtained.

There is a saying in the steppe that whoever has more precious items will become more powerful, because the steppe tribes have no racial concept, and they don't mind joining a tribe when they want to get what they want.

The color of the women's clothes of a certain tribe represents whether the tribe is strong, and the more beautiful jewelry a woman wears, the more courageous her man is, and this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There is another one, not every tribe can be like the Xiongnu and other tribes to raise troops into the Han realm to rob, which constitutes the need for border cities.

Liu Jing squinted at the Northwest Wolf and Azamu who were in a state of dazedness, and she looked at Lin Bin who was full of smiles, and muttered in her heart: "Rong Di is still beautiful, likes colors, and likes accessories, this is nature." Could it be that they want to trade with them in exchange for livestock and horses? She felt a little strange when she thought of this, but she just couldn't think of what the fault was.

Of course, Lu Yan also saw the smile on Lin Bin's face, he felt that the opening of a border market would be beneficial to everyone, the question was whether the Han Congress would allow it? He couldn't help but glance at Liu Jing in Lin Bin's arms, and found that Liu Jing showed a confused expression, probably knowing why Lin Bin forced himself to speak.

The same topic is raised by different people, and the effect will naturally be different, if Lin Bin opens this topic, Liu Jing may not show a confused expression.

The Northwest Wolf changed his previous angry posture and couldn't wait, "General Lin, who is good at fighting, is going to open a border city?" Wow! It's just that General Lin has any way to get those Han merchants who left back? ”

Lin Bin did not answer directly. He shifted his position to Liu Jing's ear, "As far as I know, the civil officials from Chang'an all have a mission. They need to buy as many horses as they can and deliver them to the servants, right? ”

The Taifu was the department in charge of Ma Zheng in the Han Kingdom.

Liu Jing also whispered: "That's right. ”

Lin Bin smiled reservedly and said, "Then there is an opportunity in front of us." ”

Liu Jing still feels weird, she finally figured out where the blame is, the livestock and horses of the tiger and leopard cavalry are all looted, and they didn't spend a copper at all, according to the current strength of the tiger and leopard cavalry, they should be more capable of plundering, how did they think of opening a border market? She wondered. "Is it to curry favor with the Han Kingdom?"

Lin Bin stopped talking when he saw that Liu Jing was pondering, he seemed to be casually picking up inch by inch of green silk and playing with it, but in fact, he was waiting for Liu Jing to think about it and make a promise. In this way, we can continue to talk with Lu Yan and others.

Not long after, Liu Jing reached out and hugged Lin Bin's neck and pulled Lin Bin down, "The border city needs to be managed by civil officials. ”

Lin Bin did not open the border market for trade profits. He just wanted to build a platform to communicate with the nomads. "Okay, the tax will also be given to Han."

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then showed a charming expression, "This is the Han realm, and the tax is naturally taken by the officials of the Han State." ”

Liu Jing's hostility slowly faded because of Lin Bin's words, and judging from the opening of the border market, Lin Bin did not seem to have any intention of becoming an enemy of the Han Kingdom, at least not for now. Otherwise, there is no need to ask Han Guo if he wants to buy horses. Her understanding is that Lin Bin should not have the desire to open a border market privately. It was only after knowing that the Han State was hostile to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that he came up with a way to improve relations, and in terms of practical actions, this was just to give the Han State one more channel to obtain horses.

Lin Bin looked up at the Northwest Wolf, "This is my own business, the opening of the border market will only be good for you, and there will be no harm." ”

Lu Yan and the Northwest Wolf opened their mouths almost at the same time and asked, "What are the conditions?" ”

Lin Bin stretched a tail note with a "hmm......", "I want you to contact the tribes on the grassland as much as possible and tell them the fact that the border city was established." The Haw Par Cavalry welcomes any non-hostile tribe to send a permanent presence in the border city, which means that they can set up offices in the border city......"

Lu Yan interjected and asked, "What is the office?"

Lin Bin explained: "The office is a name, and its main function is to allow the people of each tribe to have their own office location, record the trading of goods, and carry out business in it. ”

Did Lu Yan understand it......

"Let me put it this way, it is a shop, and the people of all ethnic groups who live in the border market are the shopkeepers in it, and they can put samples on the counter or something, and it is a place to entertain guests when they negotiate and buy and sell. Of course, Han merchants will also set up offices in border cities, which will play the same role. ”

Now he understood everything, Lu Yan was silent, he guessed Lin Bin's intention in his head, and felt that the establishment of the border city did not seem to be of much benefit to the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the establishment of the border city would not only make the West River become a mixture of snakes and dragons, increase the risk of infiltrating the spies, but also make the grassland tribe turn their attention. Being noticed on the grassland is not a good thing, it means being spied on, and if you don't have great strength, you will become someone else's prey sooner or later, and he began to wonder Lin Bin's intentions in doing this.

It takes time to establish a border city, and it is the Han State that gets the greatest benefits, and then the tribes of the grassland, and people who don't know what Lin Bin wants to do certainly can't see that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has benefited.

The direction of Lin Bin's thinking has been changing, judging from the current dangerous situation, any benefits are fake, and it is only right to keep the tiger and leopard cavalry from being hostile. The establishment of the border city is a signal to the surrounding forces that the Haw Par Cavalry is going to consolidate its sphere of influence and will not expand in the short term, which will have the effect of allowing those nervous tribes to relax and try to contact the Haw Par Cavalry, which is also the result that Lin Bin wants. The second is to use the establishment of the border market to start contact with the gate lord forces behind the Han merchants, once the interests are linked, although the Haw Par Cavalry may not be able to get much support from it, but at least it will make the Han family less hostile to the Haw Par Cavalry.

There is always endless trouble after the scenery, and now everyone is afraid of the rapid expansion of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the most obvious of which is the reaction of the Han State, if you don't do something to show when the matter can be reversed, wait for the time when the son of today sends troops to come over to crusade. The Haw Par Cavalry could not sit idly by, and once a civil war broke out, no one could predict what the outcome would be.

Let's be honest. Lin Bin is now hesitating, everything he does is a subconscious reaction, there are only two thoughts left in his head, and any idea will be implemented at a huge risk, and the result will be completely different.

Lin Bin said countless times that he didn't want to be an enemy of the Han State, and he wanted to hover on the edge to help the Han State defeat the Xiongnu before leaving, but when Liu Jing asked if he wanted to raise an army to rebel. Only then did he realize that this was a very stupid and naïve idea, and if he continued the so-called wandering strategy, it was estimated that he would soon die without a place to be buried.

"Can the pre-Qin, Qian, and Di also send people to stay there?"

"Of course!"

"That's very good."

Lu Yan stood up, and he gestured to the Northwest Wolf and Azamu with his eyes. The three of them stepped aside, muttering something they didn't know what they were talking about.

To be honest, Lin Bin felt that it was actually very hard to wear armor and lie down like this, and since the play had already been played, there was no need for him to continue to pretend. When I wanted to push Liu Jing away. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing's mother-in-law held on tightly.

Liu Jing seemed to enjoy the feeling of being hugged by Lin Bin, she had just seen Lin Bin negotiate with the leaders of the three departments with a high profile, and behaved very calmly and calmly, suppressing the leaders of the three departments from beginning to end, and found that Lin Bin was no longer the elm head who could only fight, and felt that Lin Bin in this state was very attractive.

"Jun once said that one day he will lead his troops far away from the Han Kingdom to the west, is this true?"

Lin Bin looked down. Liu Jing had a confused expression now, and she was looking at her eyes with a serious face. Although I wondered why I suddenly asked this, I still answered honestly: "Yes!" ”

Liu Jing pressed step by step, "What is Jun Fang thinking about?" ”

Now Lin Bin showed a confused expression......

"Don't be stupid, the slave will know that there is something to hide when he sees Jun's expression constantly changing."

Lin Bin was silent.

"Don't say anything, the slave will guess, if you guess correctly, you can just nod. Luckily? ”

Lin Bin looked at the three leaders who were still next to him, and he didn't know how long he was going to discuss, and felt that he was also idle and bored, so he simply nodded.

"Those who know the slave, Jun previously wanted to turn the land into a boundary and place the 'Ten Divisions and Five Armies', so that he could move troops against Heshuo, I don't know if it's right?"

Lin Bin instantly understood that it was Qingshui who told Liu Jing that since he was known, there was nothing to hide, and nodded at Liu Jing.

"According to the king's policy, within three years, the 'ten departments and five armies' will be effective, and immediately there will be a new rise in the grassland, deterring small and medium-sized tribes from obeying the king's orders, and the 'five armies' will be established into one, and the servants with the war will become supernumerary private troops, whether it is to conquer the grassland or self-protection, they have the strength, I don't know if it's right?"

Lin Bin hesitated, but finally nodded.

"That being the case, the slave speculated that it was going well, and within three years there would be more than 100,000 warriors to be sent by the king. I don't know if it's right? ”

Lin Bin didn't nod this time, "If things go well, there will be 100,000 people under your command in less than two years, after all, the population base of the subordinates is large, and it will not be a problem to expand by another 30,000 or 50,000." ”

Liu Jing was secretly happy in her heart, she knew that Lin Bin would not be silent forever, "If you want to buy 100,000 string control armor and weapons, you need to have 10 billion dollars." There is no shortage of livestock and horses, but what you need is craftsmen and raw materials, so you want to establish a border market, sell livestock and horses in the border market, and exchange money to attract craftsmen to buy metal from merchants? ”

Lin Bin has always known that Liu Jing is very smart, and it is not surprising that she can deduce so much from a small matter. There was no displeasure in his heart, and he felt that it was better to talk about some things, "There is one more thing you don't know." ”

Liu Jing touched Lin Bin's nose with her slender jade hand charmingly, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Bin stretched out his right hand and grabbed the jade hand that was constantly shaking in front of his eyes, and his left hand was also placed on Liu Jing's abdomen for the first time and kneaded rhythmically, "According to my preliminary judgment, in another month or two months, at least 200,000 Chinese people will pour into Xihe." If the original plan is carried out, the annexed nomads and the influx of Chinese people will not be a problem to break through the population of 600,000 combined. I also want to select at least 50,000 young and strong soldiers from among the influx of Chinese people to train into soldiers, and without calculating the law of elimination, it is conservatively estimated that 20,000 qualified soldiers can be trained to supplement the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the others will be selectively selected as lower-level officers in the establishment of the 'Five Armies'. So the 100,000 troops you guessed earlier, excluding the Haw Par Cavalry, should total more than 150,000. And it's all cavalry. ”

Liu Jing showed an incredible expression, she didn't even notice that Lin Bin's big hand was moving upward, and she kept repeating the words "150,000 cavalry" in her mind. Until he reacted, he grabbed the big hand that was about to fall on his chest very quickly, "You...... You, 150,000 cavalry? ”

"Yes, 150,000 cavalry is the highest number." Lin Bin had an indifferent expression, "According to the development plan, if it is estimated, 150,000 cavalry is already the upper limit." If the training works. 150,000 cavalry is enough. ”

If others said these words, Liu Jing would not hesitate to laugh out loud, but the person who said those words was Lin Bin. She didn't know why, she just believed that Lin Bin could do what he said. She looked at the man in front of her with an indifferent expression in disbelief again, and said in a tone full of shock, "Why tell me frankly?" ”

Lin Bin looked unusually single, "Because you've already guessed what I'm going to do." ”

Liu Jing felt that the big hand had a tendency to withdraw back. I felt the change in Lin Bin's demeanor again. The woman's sixth sense told her that she might never be able to hold it again when the big hand was withdrawn. She pulled Lin Bin's left hand vigorously, stuck it on her crisp chest without caring about anything, and asked eagerly: "So frankly, do you want to lead the army away from the Han Realm and do that westward thing?" ”

Lin Bin has never been an emotional man, and asked calmly: "Isn't this the result you want?" ”

Lin Bin had no plans for long-term development in the Han Realm, and the original purpose of the Tiger and Par Cavalry to stay in Xihe was just to rest. If it weren't for the sudden invasion of the Han border by the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other coalition forces later, this army that had no belonging would have left a long time ago. Fight in Heshuo or any other place.

Lin Bin rose up and led the weak tiger and leopard cavalry to fight deep into the grassland, not only subdued as many as hundreds of thousands of troops in the battle, but also defeated the alien alliance army that invaded the Han border in the later counterattack, so that Lin Bin and the tiger and leopard cavalry The reputation of good fighting spread all over the grassland and the Han country, so that many unpleasant things happened later.

Victorious and famous, Lin Bin and the Haw Par Cavalry were also seen as a new threat by the Han State. The Haw Par Cavalry needed to wait for the families of the servants accompanying the war for a while, and the situation also developed in the direction that it had to stop and rectify, giving the Han State an impression, as if the Haw Par Cavalry wanted to occupy the West River for a long time, and from here Lin Bin began to fall into a dilemma, forming an embarrassing situation.

Now that Lin Bin has figured it out, if he lingers any longer, he is looking for death, why not decisively carry out the steps that have been planned?

"Gongsun Hong, Chen Yi, Xiao Yu, Chen An and others will stay in Shiyan, and of course those in the Northern Army will stay. They will be responsible for the defense of the city of Shiyan and the security of the border city, and I will lead the whole army to ......"

Liu Jing suddenly reached out to cover Lin Bin's mouth, she didn't know when her eyes were red, "Why are you leaving?" ”

Lin Bin held the jade hand covering his mouth in the palm of his hand, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't plan to leave so soon, can I do it if I don't leave now?" You are a person who knows me better, and as soon as you meet, you ask if you want to rebel, and those who don't know me can guess what they want to use their kneecaps. Well, don't look at the posture of fighting with death, in fact, I'm very afraid of death, but I'm not a person who sees death as home. ”

Lin Bin didn't give Liu Jing a chance to speak, "I'm guessing, your little brother must be thinking about what to do to trick me into going to Chang'an and get a dog's head or something." Why bother? I have no interest in Han at all, what kind of rebellion? Of course, no one will believe these, I don't have the strength to be slaughtered, and if I have the strength, I can't slaughter others, so I can only lead the butchers under my command who can only kill people away from the Han realm. ”

Liu Jing listened quietly, she felt that what Lin Bin said today was very strange, and she said that Lin Bin was explaining something rather than talking to herself. She has considered whether Lin Bin is taking retreat as advance and creating an illusion to confuse herself, but she feels that the sense of vicissitudes is not something that can be pretended to be if she wants to. She blinked, tears streaming down her cheeks, stuck to a rough finger, and down the finger was a resolute face with a faint smile of indifference, full of a strange sense of relief and ease.

"Binjun ......"

"Honestly, the name 'Jun' sounds strange, and it always reminds me of a nasty island nation in our country. When I first came here, I thought that when I was strong enough, I would go to the Korean Peninsula and build enough ships to cross the sea to destroy the Naya species. By the way, there are now thousands of ant nations of all sizes in that island country. I haven't learned the writing from the Han Kingdom, and I haven't got the broken swords, broken mirrors, and miscellaneous jades that are regarded as heirlooms. Now the largest country is called Yamadai, and a mother-in-law named Himiko is the queen? It doesn't seem right, it's still a stick savage at the moment......"

Liu Jing turned over and sat up regardless of her manners, and reached out to touch Lin Bin's forehead. "Binjun, don't scare the slave." As he spoke, he actually sobbed, which made Lin Bin scramble for a while.

It took Lin Bin a while to comfort Liu Jing that he was not crazy, he was just relaxing and saying something casually.

"Bin Jun just said that the slave couldn't understand the words, as if he was haunted by the devil, so it was not scary. Isn't it possible to believe Binjun's words? The slave will write straight and tell Yu'erjun that he has no objection. but for the villain to be framed. Jun has made great contributions to the Han State, if it weren't for Jun leading the army to raid this time, the border counties would be in danger! It's not good to be a slave. Don't scare the slave anymore. Slaves are determined to seek justice for the king......"

“……”

Lin Bin still looked at Liu Jing with a crying and smiling face at first, and after Liu Jing for a while, he knew that it was the Gongsun Gate Valve and the Su Gate Valve behind Gongsun Ao who were active in Chang'an, and these two gate valves were constantly stirring up the relationship between the Han State and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. released rumors that Lin Bin was buying people's hearts and wanted to raise troops to attack Han and so on.

"You mean. All of this was done by the Gongsun Gate Valve and the Su Gate Valve? ”

"Don't be angry, the slave will no longer believe the words of the villain......"

"I just want to know what else the Gongsun Gate Valve and the Su Gate Valve have done!"

"Slaves are not good, they are all slaves who have listened to the slander of villains......"

Lin Bin was completely bored, he reached out and grabbed Liu Jing's shoulders, and looked at her eyes fiercely, "So, your little brother must have believed the words of the Gongsun Gate Valve and the Su Family Gate Valve, and is ready to send troops to attack?" ”

Liu Jing finally stabilized. "Yu'er didn't send troops, slaves who know. Yu'er has sent an envoy to reward his vassals, and he will arrive at Shiyan in three days. ”

Lin Bin still wanted to ask something, but he saw that Lu Yan and the others had already negotiated and were walking towards this side, so he had to forcibly endure the evil fire that kept coming out of his patience: "When the negotiation is over, tell me everything about 1510." Got it? ”

Liu Jing only nodded.

Lin Bin was still wondering why the Gongsun Gate Valve and the Su Gate Valve had not moved, it turned out that they were lurking and waiting for the opportunity, but now Lin Bin has a great reputation, and there are tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is the most doubtful moment, how can they not jump out and bite people?

In fact, a burst of nonsense to get this information was the result that Lin Bin did not expect, he began to know how defensive Liu Jing was before, thinking of the hostility of the three guards in the tent, so as to speculate that the city tower hall in Shiyan City must also ambush the armor soldiers to lock him, after all, when he returns to Shiyan, he must stay in the city tower, and that is the moment when he has the least personal soldiers around him, which is the most suitable for arrest.

Lin Bin couldn't help but secretly say, "It's dangerous", and sighed that the cold hair stood up, "The swallow and the tomb are still in the city!" ”

Lu Yan approached and was surprised, why was Lin Bin's face hideous, and why did Liu Jing look like a lost soul again? He clenched his fists and said, "General Lin! ”

Lin Bin was extremely irritable, too lazy to make meaningless politeness, "Tell me, the result of your discussion." ”

The Northwest Wolf obviously also saw the strangeness of the two, and even more saw Lin Bin's impatience, and pulled the corners of Azamu's clothes, "Have you seen it?" The tiger's woman told her that you were going to rob her, and now the tiger was full of anger and ready to choose someone to love. ”

Azam swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to speak, just because Lin Bin's hideous face was really terrifying.

"General Lin, we are willing to contact the many tribes of the grassland for you, and in return, we ask for the right to have the right to purchase the goods of the Han merchants in the border market."

Although Lin Bin was full of anger by the Gongsun Gate Valve and the Su Family Gate Valve, it did not mean that he had lost the ability to think, he looked at Lu Yan coldly, "You are very smart, and you also know the term right of first refusal. ”

The three leaders laughed in unison, and Azam was the most smug because that was his idea.

"Good. I agree that you have the right of first refusal. ”

Lin Bin's next words made the leaders of the three departments unable to laugh......

"The cavalry of the Qin tribe handed over all the war horses, and the Xianqin and Di tribes each left two thousand war horses. The three tribes left a person with a noble enough status as a hostage, the pre-Qin and Di tribes handed over 500 people, and the Qian people handed over 1,000 people, and they will all be branded as slaves, which is a punishment for your invasion of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's sphere of influence! ”

(To be continued,) (To be continued.) )
