Zhidu gave an order, and immediately a staff officer led the order, and in a short time, a carrier pigeon flew from Shunde City to Taiyuan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the hall, Zhang Wen and Peng You, you and I, introduced the current situation of the various departments in the south of the scene and the division and relationship of other forces like everyone.

After listening to this, Zhi Du couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this time, judging from the introduction of Zhang Wen and Peng You, it is really a mixture of fish and dragons, and cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are dancing everywhere.

Except for the super tribes such as Changlin, Creeping, and Linhu on the bright side.

There are also seven or eight other large tribes of about 3,000 to 10,000.

These tribes, there were large tribes that were already strong in the Xiongnu era, such as the Nazhanghu tribe, which was prominent in the era of Lao Shangdan.

There are also some ethnic groups that have been chased by the Huns in the past and have no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the earth.

For example, the Xiaoyue clan and the Ding Ling people have established some tribes with thousands of people and occupied some relatively fertile pastures.

In short, the current Makunan is an era of demons dancing wildly.

After listening to Zhang Wen and Peng You's introductions, Zhidu and the generals all fell into deep thought.

The complexity of the situation in Makunan is far beyond imagination!

Even the loyal brave army and the Lou Fu army, who have been stationed in Shunde, could not have imagined that such a pattern appeared in the vast grassland outside their sight.

"Guan Gong...... Captain Li Duwei ...... "Zhi Du turned his attention to General Guan He and Li Zhe, the commander of the Loyal and Brave Army, and instructed these two people: "Please work hard for the two Ming Princes these days, discuss the military strategy with the staff officers, and see at least three plans within ten days......"

It's already September, and snow has begun to fall outside the plug, and soon, the snow can be several feet deep.

In such a situation, the Han army's ability to act would be greatly reduced.

Historically, snow and ice have begun to melt as soon as the first month, and in some areas to the north, the snow on the grasslands may not melt even in spring and February.

Therefore, in fact, the Han army's clean-up operation in the south of the Makunan will take two months at the earliest!

But the preparation needs to start right away.

Food, grass, equipment, the preparation of the army, and the route of the march all need to be planned.

Fortunately, today's Han family basically doesn't need to worry about getting lost.

The compass invented by the Mohists has been equipped with field officers at the rank of captain, and with its help, the army is unlikely to lose its way.

This gave the Han army great flexibility in its movements.

"No!" Guan He and Li Zhe got up to receive the order.

For today's senior generals of the Han family, there is no better stimulant than war.

Especially for Li Zhe, he desperately needed a brilliant victory to pave the way for himself to become a liege.

Zhi Du nodded, then turned his head and looked at the merchants on the other side, he showed a smiling face, and said to these Jia people in a very kind manner: "Princess, I invite you to come here today, because I want to ask you for help......

When Zhidu said this, he was actually a little shy and embarrassed.

After all, he is a famous minister of the Legalist family and a famous general in the world.

But now he has to degenerate to the point of talking to a group of lowly businessmen, asking them to provide all kinds of supplies and even support some military expenses.

With his character and personality, such words cannot be spoken.

But there is no way, it is impossible for the court to allocate too much money for this war.

In fact, when he left Chang'an, the Son of Heaven gave him a total of 50 million yuan in war funds.

Obviously, this amount of money is far from enough for the expenses of the army.

Not to mention, a cavalry of 10,000 people, in a combat state, may consume millions of dollars every day.

And that's not even counting the consumption of forage and dry food.

What to do?

I can only discuss with the big dogs.

In fact, Zhi Du even felt that this was the Son of Heaven deliberately forcing him to find merchants to apportion military expenses.

Borrowing money from merchants to fight wars?

This has a long tradition in the Han family.

During the Wu Chu Rebellion, Zhou Yafu, Dou Ying, and even borrowed usury from businessmen!

Zhi is shy, but the businessmen are not shy at all.

As soon as Zhidu's voice fell, Zhang Wen immediately shouted first: "General, my lord has said it, once the general asks for something, my lord should do everything!" At this moment, my lord has more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass in Shundetun, and more than 3,000 horses of various colors of cloth, and the general can take them all...... It's not enough, I'll transfer it from Taiyuan ...... next."

Peng You also shouted: "General, the same is true for the villain!" Outside the city of Shunde, there are 200,000 stones of grain and grass, and 2,000 horses of cloth, and the general can send someone to take over now...... In addition, in the villain's basement, there are five hundred gold gold, ten million money, which the general can use for military expenses......"

As soon as these two people took the lead, other businessmen could only follow suit, even if they were reluctant.

What's more, everyone is very willing to make a 'small contribution' to the great cause of the empire.

However, Zhi Du didn't even say anything to ask the big dogs to support the national defense construction, and the businessmen took the initiative to claim more than 1.3 million stone grain and grass and tens of millions of dollars.

Just this money and grain and grass are enough to support a medium-intensity battle.

What's more, these guys all looked at Zhidu with blank eyes, as if to say: General, such a little thing must not be enough, right? It doesn't matter, the villains still have a lot of good things in Taiyuan and Jinyang, as long as the general sends a word, the villains will transport things to the general when they die......

Zhidu suddenly became a little messy in the wind.

What is the rhythm of this?

I have never heard of the group of merchants since ancient times, can they behave like this?

In other words, if the Jia people are so anxious for justice and righteousness, for the country and the people, why were they sprayed into dogs by all the sons and hundreds of schools in the past?

As for being named the head of the five beetles by Han Feizi, the scourge to the country and society is even higher than that of Confucianism, rangers and corrupt officials!

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or ......a thief," Zhi Du thought in his heart, so he bowed his hand and said: "You Ming Gong is well aware of the righteousness, and I will thank you on behalf of the world...... But what do you ask for in such a generous offer? ”

No requirements, hell!

At that time, the soldiers on the side of the Great Wall were hungry and their intestines were blue, and there was no merchant to relieve them.

As a result, as soon as Chao Cuo introduced the policy of donating corn to the lord, the granaries in the border areas were immediately filled with grain.

Since then, the history of starvation of the Great Wall garrison has become a thing of the past.

Businessmen, naturally, will not go around in circles with Zhidu.

Zhang Wen bowed his head and said, "If it's a wish...... I hope that the general can allow me and other vulgar villains to share the worries of my father...... We and other merchants' guards can also go into battle with the general...... Even if it's just to do something to deliver food and grass and information, we are satisfied......"

The others nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.

As soon as Zhi Du heard it, he understood what these guys were thinking?

They are exchanging money and food for meritorious deeds!

Especially the Cheng Zheng family, the Zhuo family, and the Shi family, for Wu Xun, I am afraid that they have been hungry to the point of hunger.

After all, the Cheng Zheng clan and the Zhuo clan now have everything, but there is no marquis of liehou, not even a marquis of Guannei.

The Son of Heaven firmly controlled the power of the knighthood.

But the merchants' desire for Gao Jue is irrepressible.

It's just that......

There is a question that Zhi can't figure out.

It is understandable that the Zhuo family, the Cheng Zheng family, and even the Shi family are so active in wanting to earn some martial arts.

But what did the others do?

It's unlikely that they will be able to get a businessman in this life!

To them, Wuxun is just an ornament at best!

But Zhidu knew that the reason why these businessmen were so active was entirely because of fear and fear.

What they want is not Wuxun, but a talisman, a life-saving document.

It was really the bloody storm set off after the transformation of Chang'an City last year that frightened the entire Han family.

So many illustrious heroes collapsed with a bang, and so many famous giants were pulled to the vegetable market and cut in two.

Everything they once had, came to naught in an instant.

No one wants to taste it themselves.

What to do?

Of course, I can only desperately tell the master of Weiyang Palace: I am a good citizen, I am a loyal minister, and I am a loyal minister!

However, how could the master of Weiyang Palace know that he is a good citizen, how can he know that he is a great loyal minister?

Without evidence, the devil believes you!

Therefore, this martial honor and the official document that once helped the Han army are very important.

With this thing, once something happens, the owner of Weiyang Palace will take a look: Yo, loyal minister, well, punish three glasses of wine, don't take it as an example.

At worst, you can use this impression to pick up a life!

Therefore, the enthusiasm of the businessmen is completely imaginable.

After all, it's buying their own lives.

Your own life is always precious.

Even if it costs a lot, they will buy it.

What's more, this martial artist is not completely useless, at least, as long as the martial arts accumulate to a certain extent, even if he is the son of a businessman, he will have the opportunity to go to Wuyuan for further study.

Therefore, for the sake of Wu Xun, the madness of Shang Jia can be imagined.

But Zhi didn't know this, yes, he was a little hesitant, after all, there was no precedent for this kind of thing to allow Shang Jia's personal guards to go into battle.

Besides, these guys have to share the credit of the army.

Even a slight, I'm afraid the military will not agree.

Those military judges with elm brains will definitely not agree.

Seeing Zhidu's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Wen immediately bowed empathetically: "Don't worry, general, I and other Jia people are now in this Shunde City, there are hundreds of carriages, all of which are heavy-duty carriages from Shaofu, and one cart can transport dozens of stones...... The little people use these wagons to transport military supplies to the army......"

Well, in the process of transporting military funds, if some Yidi have to jump out and embarrass the big guys and obstruct the transportation of military food, it is normal to kill them naturally, and naturally these Yidi heads must also be regarded as military merits.

Although, in the Han military law system, the specific beheading credit is directly assigned to the individual beheader.

But as a general or organizer, he can share some feats such as commanders and strategists, although they are few, but they can accumulate a lot.

As soon as Zhi Du heard this, he knew that he had no excuse or reason to oppose the 'legitimate demands' of these businessmen, so he could only nod and say, "That is the case, Ben will agree......"

Although I know, these scum will definitely play tricks.

But, as a general, all he needs is victory, not justice.

For the sake of victory, a general can do anything.
