The Minister of Finance of the Muscovy heard Kugroot's words and hurriedly nodded in response.

"Don't worry, my lord, the gift prepared by the servant will definitely satisfy you!"

As soon as the Chancellor's words fell, a group of graceful girls wearing face bandans walked out of the castle.

Although there was never a shortage of women around Hugroot, he was secretly taken aback when he saw such a scene.

"Your Excellency!"

"These jewels are a gift from a small country to the Great Horde Khan, and these beauties are also bothered by the lord to pass them on to the Khan."

"But the servant prepared too hastily, these beauties and jewels did not appear on the gift list, and we had to bother the lord to make up a ...... for us on the gift list."

As the Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke, he handed over a list of tributes.

When Hughroot looked at the list of only 5,000 grain carts and 500,000 gold coins, he finally understood in his heart.

Dare to love this guy is bribing himself!

However, just as he felt that his character had been offended and was about to be furious, he heard a smile and a groan on the side.

"General, Moscow is a small country after all, and it is already empty of our family to be able to take out these belongings, so let's not force it too much."

"Huh?"

Igroot looked at Eddie in confusion, and wanted to question why the other party said this, but when he saw that Eddy should give him a look and look in the direction indicated by the other party, his heart sank.

I saw the figures in the castle longing, and from time to time someone looked down through the arrow hole.

If his guess was correct, it should have been a knight under Grand Duke Dmiritjevich.

Seeing this, Hugroot hurriedly changed his words, and said with a smile.

"Since it's time for the lord to speak, General Ben won't be too harsh."

"It's just that your Grand Duke didn't come out to see us off, which made General Ben very unhappy!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer hurriedly explained.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, our Grand Duke has fallen ill because of the collection of grain and grass, and has a very severe wind chill, the kind of ...... that can infect people."

Gulroot snorted coldly in his heart, not believing a word of what the old man in front of him said. But he didn't bother to debunk it, as long as he received the tax.

"Since the duke is sick, let him recuperate, and General Ben will go back with the soldiers!"

"Congratulations to the general!"

At the sound of Hugroot's order, 100,000 soldiers drove 10,000 wagons, plus 100 chests of gold, silver and jewelry, and left Moscow for the next extortionary area.

As for the hundreds of beauties, they were also arranged by them to take them back together in the carriage.

Dmiritjevich let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that he had finally sent off this group of plague gods.

"I want to form an alliance with Daming!"

"I want to unite with the Ming Empire and exterminate the Golden Horde!"

After comforting the families of the dead people, settling the affairs of the kingdom, and handing over the military and political power of the kingdom to his queen and son, Demirit set out on a journey to the holy land of Kangju City with a hundred and ten knights.

Although both in the Islamic world and in the Christian world, there is only one holy place, and that is Jerusalem.

But for the current Dmiritjevich, Kangju is the holy place in his heart, a great city that can help him get rid of the enslavement and oppression of the Golden Horde, and can help him gain freedom and equality.

Hughroot left Moscow with an army of 100,000 men and drove mightily to Lithuania.

Along the way, he should have been persuading Groot to send someone to bring some of his belongings back to the royal court first, and give an explanation to the Khan first.

However, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was as if he hadn't heard.

It was not until he reached the vicinity of Lithuania that Khuglut ordered to be stationed on the spot.

"General, we can't win against Lithuania!"

"If you can't win, you have to fight!"

"Otherwise, this little bit of goods from Muscovy alone will not be enough to support a big war!"

When he heard this, he was so angry that he almost cried.

"General, it's not a humble thing to say cool things, the key is what we are going to fight......"

"You must know that the soldiers we brought, many people don't talk about armor, even the arrows are complete, and they don't have the strength to fight at all!"

"Didn't you?"

"Nope!"

"Don't we have money, we can buy it with money. It's really not good, sell the beauty for money......"

"Buy?"

Hugroot didn't follow Edi to explain, he came into contact with Edi along the way, and found that this man was extremely resourceful, but sometimes too greedy for money and timid.

Therefore, there are some things that do not need to be discussed with him at all, so as not to scare him into sleeping.

After setting up camp, Hugroot did not send scouts to investigate, but sent a team of envoys to Lithuania to gather merchants for trade.

and sent someone to inform the Grand Duke of Lithuania, saying that he was just here to do business, and if he bought enough supplies, he would lead a large army to fight the Ming Empire.

Lithuanian Grand Duke Vytautas had originally issued a conscription order, but after receiving the letter from Khuglut, he immediately stopped recruiting soldiers and summoned all the lords under his name in his castle.

"Lords, now that the Golden Horde's Prince of Khuglut is pressing the border, saying that he wants to trade with us and buy some urgently needed military supplies, should we sell them to them?"

Lithuania is not a centralized state, it is essentially a bulk feudal state based on and canonized by the Kingdom of Poland.

Vytautas's nephew, Shvetrigeila, was the first to stand up in opposition.

"Uncle, the Tatars have no intention or not, who knows if what they say is true or not, what if they sell them weapons and equipment, and they turn their heads to attack us?"

Vytautas nodded in satisfaction.

"Shvetrigeira is right, the Tatars really have no faith to speak of."

"But the rise of the Ming Empire is too fast, and it must be contained, otherwise the war will burn to us sooner or later."

"Therefore, if Prince Huglut can really lead troops to resist the Ming Dynasty, we might as well sell them some weapons and armor. We can even send some if necessary. ”

As soon as Vytautas's words came out, the Lithuanian nobles in the castle all smiled knowingly.

Shvetri Geira also understood that his uncle was planning to kill people with a knife.

"Uncle is wise!"

"If my uncle trusts me, my nephew is willing to take someone to the border to oversee the merchants' trade with Kugroot."

Vytautas shook his head.

"No!"

"It is not known what Kugroot's true intentions are, in case he takes you hostage......"

"Uncle doesn't want to lose a qualified heir for this!"

When Shvetrigeira heard this, her eyes turned red with emotion.

"My nephew listens to my uncle for everything!"

After Vytautas decided to trade with Khuglut, he began to organize merchants and supplies in the country, and went to the border to do business with Khugroot.

Business was going well, and even in the face of his malicious price increase, Hugroot did not show dissatisfaction.

However, just when Vytautas thought that the business was over and he could see off Kugroot, he was surprised to find that Hugroot turned his horse's head and slashed towards his territory!

Because Vytautas gave up the conscription order, he was unable to organize effective resistance in a hurry, and was easily broken through the border by Hughroot, entering his territory and frantically burning and plundering.

This made Vytautas very angry, and immediately issued a conscription order to mobilize all the men in the country to fight.

However, when his side finally organized an army of 300,000 and prepared to fight to the death with Kugroot, he did not expect that this goods had already been prepared, and ran away directly with the looted things......

When Vytautas got the news, he jumped to his feet and yelled at Hugroot, and at the same time completely blacked out Hugroot and all the Tatars.

"Damn it!"

"I shouldn't trust these damned Tatars!"

"This is a group of demons, a group of demons without faith!"

While Vytautas was tearfully cleaning up the mess, Hugroot sang triumphant songs all the way, drove tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and happily returned home with the looted grain, cloth, goods, women, slaves, etc.

Edija finally stopped chattering, but turned into a non-stop compliment.

"How did the general come up with such a clever solution?"

Ugroot smirked when he heard this.

"I once caught a Han man, this Han man studied in Daming for a few years, but he didn't get into the fame ......"

"He told me many stories, including one of the stories of the False Turva......"

Ediga happily praised Hugroot, only to throw out another question after the praise.

"General, have you ever thought about how to distribute the property looted from this expedition?"

"What do you mean?"

Hugeroot pretended to be puzzled and looked at Edi, in fact, he already had some restless thoughts in his heart, but in view of Edi's presence, it was not good to act rashly.

Hearing this, Edicai smiled meaningfully.

"Many of the troops we brought with us on this expedition are cowardly Xue troops, which directly belong to His Majesty the Khan's Praetorian Guard."

"But how their lives were, the general must have seen it."

"I mean, shouldn't you give them a portion of the seized supplies so they can improve their lives......

Hughroot had thought about this problem for a long time, but he was afraid that he should be informant by the prison army, or return to the Khan's court to say that he had evil intentions and bought the hearts of the army.

At the same time, he was not sure how many of the cowardly Xue army were close associates of His Majesty the Khan, and whether he would inform His Majesty of the Khan of this.

Once His Majesty the Khan is alerted, his future life will be miserable.

"That's ...... All right? ”

"Okay!"

"According to the rules of our Golden Horde, the leader of the army only needs to hand over thirty percent of the spoils to the Khan's court, and the rest can be distributed by himself."

"Don't talk about giving it to the soldiers, even if you take it all for yourself, it's reasonable!"

"This ......"

Of course, Hughroot knows this rule, but this rule is the rule of the ancestor Genghis Khan's time, and hundreds of years have passed since now, who would dare to take this rule seriously?

But he really wants to share the spoils privately, even if he doesn't want any of them, he wants to buy the hearts of the army with these spoils!

"Then General Ben will think about it......"

Hughroot thought about it all night, and the next day he gathered the high-ranking generals of the Cowardly Xue army together and revealed to them the idea of dividing the spoils of war privately.

Unexpectedly, these people unanimously agreed, and they were very grateful for their decision.

Seeing this, Hughroot did not hesitate, and immediately called the clerk who accompanied him to count the spoils of war, and then distributed the goods and goods to the whole army.

Amid the cheers in the Khughout camp, Chang Sheng, who was far away in Kangju City, was frowning at the intelligence.

The positioning of Kangju City is not only the window of Daming extending to Central Asia, but also the intelligence collection station of Daming based in Central Asia.

Therefore, when the Golden Horde had just sent a large army to attack Muscovy and Lithuania, Chang Sheng received detailed information.

But he didn't believe that Khuglut dared to take people to Lithuania from the beginning, because with the current national strength of the Golden Horde, it was simply not enough to support them to start a war with Lithuania.

However, what puzzled him was that the intelligence he had just received showed that Hughroot had arrived at the Lithuanian border with an army of 100,000!

After Chang Sheng received this information, he immediately took the information to his uncle Lan Yu to ask for advice.

"Uncle, where did you say that Huglut got the courage to attack Lithuania?"

Lan Yu took the information handed over by Chang Sheng, and put the previous information together to watch.

"Is there any information about Kugroot?"

"Yes, but not much......"

"Hughroot and Timur had a close personal relationship, and there seems to have been some kind of agreement between the two."

"In addition, Khuglut is cousin of Tokhtamysh, the current Khan of the Golden Horde, and de jure Khugroot is also eligible to inherit the throne of Khan......"

"Oooh......"

While listening to Chang Sheng's analysis, Lan Yu put herself in the position of Gulroot, thinking about how to break the situation in his realm.

"I'm in a situation where someone has horses, but no weapons and armor, and some military supplies......"

"I went to Muscovy with a large army to knock on bamboo, knocked out enough food, gold and silver treasures, and in principle, I am not short of money, food and grass, but I am short of weapons......"

"So, as long as I get enough weapons and arrows, I have an elite cavalry of 100,000 men......"

"But how can I do it?"

"Grab or buy...... If you buy it...... Oh oh oh, by the way I almost forgot, I'm not short of money now......"

"Then I'll buy it first, buy the equipment soldiers, and then grab back the money I spent!"

Lan Yu muttered to herself, and the more she muttered, the brighter her eyes became.

"I see!"

"This guy wants to eat two fish!"

"What is it called in our Chinese art of war?"

"Old man!"

Fu Youde heard Lan Yu call to him, and muttered unhappily.

"Fake Journey!"

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Chang Sheng listened to Lan Yu's analysis, and the whole person was stunned.

"Uncle, Hughroot may not be as smart as you think, can he really think of so much?"

Lan Yu sneered when he heard this.

"If he can't think of it, then it proves that he is a fool who went to Lithuania with an army of 100,000 to die!"

While the two were arguing, the herald ran over and handed Chang Sheng a copy of the latest information.

After reading the information, his face changed greatly, and then he bowed respectfully to Lan Yu.

"Uncle is right, Hugroot is the same as you guessed, buy first and then rob, and now he has taken people to share the spoils in the camp......"

Lan Yu laughed proudly when she heard this.

"Hahaha, good boy, have a bit of our style!"

Fu Youde muttered displeased when he heard this.

"What a demeanor do you!"

"Isn't it just a bandit!"

Lan Yu glanced at Fu Youde.

"Shut up, old thing!"

"Are we robbers, we are generous!"

The more Lan Yu spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but get up from his chair and stroll around the City Lord's Mansion with his waist crossed.

"This kid is good, yin and ruthless, he is a famous general seed!"

"Find time to send someone to contact you and see if you can dig our nephew back to be a general training!"

At the end of the month, ask for a ticket, make up a thousand, lalala
