Chapter 148: Retrieving the Skeleton Soldiers
The empire has not expanded to the outside world for many years, and there have been no border nobles for many years, if Zhang Zhongjun really does this, then he will definitely cause the empire to shake with a baron. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But it's a pity that it's too troublesome to manage this Bali Pavilion, and it's even more impossible to think about expanding the territory, so it's better to find Yuanzhu to cultivate if you have this time.
Anyway, in this world, as long as you are a cow and your strength is strong, how many territories do you want?
Besides, that feeling of being in power, Zhang Zhongjun has not experienced it, he has been a god in the little green world! But compared to the feeling of killing the heavenly soldiers, the feeling of being in power is not worth mentioning at all!
The big head clock who was killed by the heavenly soldiers, how awesome he said before, not only controlled Xili behind the scenes, but also had a good relationship with the military of Tunshi County, and was a real powerful person in Baliting.
Such a character should be regarded as in power, right? But to give the heavenly soldier a move, dozens of qi blades flew wildly, and he hung up before he even had time to scream.
So, strong oneself is really strong!
Moreover, Zhang Zhongjun dared to guarantee that if he really wanted to occupy the five northwest countries, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
There will be no obstacles on the Empire's side, and it will change its territory information as soon as possible, and make a big deal to determine its ownership of the land of the five northwestern countries.
But after that, the forces within the empire will send a vote to help them get a piece of the pie, or make trouble for themselves and make themselves unlucky.
At the same time, all kinds of forces on the bright and dark sides will incite the people of the five countries to make trouble, and even the forces in the north and west of the five countries will also send large armies to attack.
At that time, these five countries will be a mess, and it will be impossible for them to calm down and cultivate.
Therefore, to covet the land of these five countries is to be an idiot and to ask for trouble!
So wouldn't Zhang Zhongjun's practice of not occupying land and only killing all the leading figures of the Five Kingdoms break through the barrier?
The same will, but after he completed the task and earned a lot of merits, he ran back to Bali Pavilion to stay, what does it matter to him what happens to these five countries?
Now this thing is a bear child who runs away when he sets fire, he only cares about lighting the fire, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to what it will become.
Zhang Zhongjun and his entourage rushed towards the level of the Grass and Tree Tribal Alliance at a swift speed, and were thinking about whether to rush over in one go? Or take the bean soldiers back to their brains and lurk in by themselves, when they were suddenly stopped by hundreds of people dressed as nomads.
Zhang Zhongjun was dumbfounded, "Rely on! How do I look at the mighty army here, these nomads actually dare to stop themselves?
However, Zhang Zhongjun is not a person who kills indiscriminately, and he treats people who are not enemies, and his mentality is very peaceful, so he stepped forward curiously and prepared to ask.
But before he could say anything, the nomad directly knelt on the ground and shouted: "My lord, evacuate quickly, there is an army of skeletons besieging Longkou ahead!"
Zhang Zhongjun couldn't understand Kurosawa, so naturally he was very excited to be the interpreter.
Under the translation of Elisat Arres, Zhang Zhongjun learned that Longkou is the pass between the Grass and Wood Tribal Alliance and the Kurosawa Kingdom, because the terrain resembles a winding dragon, and the level is just set at the location of Longkou, so it is named Longkou.
It's just that Zhang Zhongjun was dumbfounded when he heard that "the skeleton army is besieging Longkou", and looked at Xiaobai who was a satellite a little sluggishly, and Xiaobai screamed, but he actually hid behind Zhang Zhongjun and didn't come out.
"Ask what's going on with this skeleton army?" Although Zhang Zhongjun released 900,000 skeleton soldiers before entering the Kurosawa Kingdom, he really didn't care about them, so he directly asked Elisat Arres to ask those nomads.
Seeing the nomadic outfit, it was obvious that the local people of the Kurosawa Kingdom should have regarded their team as Kurosawa lizard cavalry, so they dared to stop themselves.
"I don't know where these skeleton armies came from, wandering around our Kurosawa country, as long as they don't attack them, they won't hurt ordinary people, but any small boss will be cut off by the skeleton soldiers. This news has spread throughout the entire Northwest Region, except for us who have been ravaged by skeleton soldiers, the other four northwest countries have already made preparations, and even heard that this skeleton soldier was sent by the Empire, and someone has already sent an envoy, ready to cry to the Empire and ask them to take the skeleton soldiers away!"
The nomad spoke upside down, and Elisat Arres's translation made it even more difficult to understand, but Zhang Zhongjun still understood.
This made him break out in a cold sweat, and the remaining four countries in the northwest actually sent people to the empire to cry and complain? He took the task of the Black Ice Terrace, and he just handed in a task, isn't this equivalent to telling the people of the empire that these skeleton soldiers have something to do with him!
Zhang Zhongjun is not worried about being dealt with by the evil guys of the empire because he summoned skeletons, after all, there are thousands of years of zombies among the nobles of the empire, so what is the big deal about summoning skeletons to help fight the war?
What he was worried about was that the Imperial Court would regard these 900,000 skeleton soldiers as its own strength, and then increase the amount of tribute in Bali Pavilion! This is sad, his Bali Pavilion has just survived the catastrophe, and it is the time to rest for health, where can he increase the amount of tribute!
At the beginning, the amount of tribute given by the empire to itself was calculated according to the population of the Baliting Empire, because there were many foreigners here, and there were few people registered in the empire, so it was just an estimate at that time, so that he only needed to pay a tribute of 10,000 silver cakes every year.
But now that there is an extra strength of 900,000 skeleton soldiers, what if the Zong Court counts these skeleton soldiers? That's the tribute amount of 910,000 silver cakes!
If it's just money, it's fine, but if you change this money tribute to a soldier tribute, do you have to send skeleton soldiers to the Imperial Army? This is obviously impossible, then you have to recruit another army to form a force and send it out!
But who doesn't know that military tribute is equivalent to sending troops to the empire, and there is no return! Who doesn't do everything possible to exchange military tribute for money tribute or material tribute!
So he didn't even think about it, and directly asked Xiaobai to take back all the skeleton soldiers.
Damn, Lao Tzu directly turned the skeleton into nothing, and then the empire sent someone to investigate, Lao Tzu pretended to be stupid and didn't know, and he didn't admit it even if he was killed!
Zhang Zhongjun passed on his guess to Xiaobai, and Xiaobai was immediately frightened to tears, and took back the skeleton soldiers as soon as possible.
On the contrary, Zhang Zhongjun had to appease Xiaobai, of course he knew that Xiaobai wanted to work for himself, so he deliberately controlled the skeleton soldiers to wander around.
The big frog, who had a clear idea of Zhang Zhongjun, smiled and laughed, but it didn't pay attention to it or explain it, just laughing while smoking.
