Chapter 249: Leaving Jinshan, King Sui welcomes him
Although he was worried about the real use of Lu An's acquisition of sulfur, in the face of Lu An's scheme, Shaporo Khan could only choose to compromise and start a business with Lu An in exchange for sulfur for snowflake salt, just like other tribal chiefs.
Even Erma didn't have a good response for a while.
After all, if they don't cooperate with Lu An, they won't be able to stop other tribes from cooperating with Lu An!
What's more, they had just reached an alliance with Lu An, and if things got bigger, it wouldn't be good for anyone.
As a result, Lu An easily obtained a large source of sulfur, and no longer had to spend a high price to buy it from the Western Regions.
On this day, the Jinshan Tooth Tent was full of joy, only a few miles away, the Lord of Phantom Cloud and the Great Xia Sending Relatives Mission were deserted.
Until early the next morning, Shaporo Khan sent people to send the Great Xia family delegation away from Jinshan, and returned to the capital of Great Xia through the area of Difuchi.
There is no way, who made Shaporo Khan finally choose to form an alliance with Chu Yin, even if the Lord of Phantom Cloud stays here, there is nothing else but humiliation.
A team of nearly 200 relatives, escorted by the Turkic cavalry, gradually disappeared in the afterglow of the eastern sun, as if the Great Xia Empire was in decline, bleak and desolate.
From beginning to end, the Phantom Cloud Lord in the sedan chair did not show up......
"Alas!"
Lu An sighed, "Ah Da, is Brother Lei ready over there?" β
"An Shao, don't worry, Xiao Qi has already informed General Lei three days ago."
It's time to leave.
The purpose of the trip to Jinshan was basically completed, and by the way, a sulfur deal was reached with various Turkic tribes, which was an extra joy.
In addition to Ah Wu, Ah Da and other twenty-nine people, Mu Lingfeng, and Lu An held Hai'er, escorted by a group of Turkic cavalry sent by Shaporo Khan, and began to embark on the road back to the Central Plains.
Four days later, Lu An and his entourage rushed to the north of Shengzhou, and a team of cavalry greeted them at the right time, and the first general stepped forward and bowed his hand, "The last general, Pu Feng, is here to greet An Shao on the order of General Lei." β
Lu An looked at it for a moment, and Tima asked, "General Park, how many people did Brother Lei bring to rescue the Phantom Cloud County Lord?" β
"General Lei only brought three hundred people over, leaving the last general here to greet An Shao."
"What about the rest? Lu remembered that Brother Lei brought 50,000 soldiers and horses here? β
"An Shao didn't know that just ten days ago, the Great Xia Imperial Court marched into Huizhou, and King Sui had mobilized all the soldiers and horses to the front line of Huizhou, leaving less than a thousand men and horses here.
An Shao, before General Lei leaves, the special commander will wait here, and please go to Suizhou to wait for a few days. β
Lu An nodded when he heard this.
Because of his prejudice against King Suizhou, he didn't want to go to Suizhou, but Lei Jin only took 300 people to save people, but he left so many people just to welcome him here.
For that alone, he couldn't help but receive this affection.
Besides, the two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Okay, General Park, there is Lao."
"An Shao is polite, please-"
The two rode side by side.
"An Shao, the last general has sent someone to inform His Royal Highness King Sui in advance, His Royal Highness learned that An Shao is about to return, and he also instructed the last general, be sure to take care of you."
When Lu An heard this, he smiled politely, "His Royal Highness King Sui has a noble status, and Lu is a grass person, where can he afford His Highness's grandeur?" β
"An Shao doesn't have to be too humble, His Royal Highness King Sui knows that you and General Lei are sworn brothers, and General Lei is the first fierce general under King Sui, and he is deeply trusted by His Highness.
For example, this time the lord of Huanyun County was taken to Jinshan, and after General Lei learned about it, he directly rushed to Shengzhou with an army of 50,000, and almost had a direct conflict with the Turks.
If it had been someone else, King Sui would have punished him with capital punishment a long time ago.
But in the end, King Sui acquiesced to General Lei's actions, which shows how high General Lei's status in King Sui's mind is.
You are General Lei's brother again, and of course King Sui will not snub you. β
Lu An just smiled when he heard this, but did not continue to talk.
King Sui's attention to Lei Jin is nothing more than using Lei Jin's hatred for Xia Chun.
However, I have to say that Lei Jin has indeed been reused here in King Sui, giving Lei Jin a chance to take revenge.
From this point of view, the two sides can be regarded as using each other.
As for himβ
Hehe.
Lu An is still a little self-aware.
King Sui's release of goodwill is nothing more than a gesture of goodwill to Lei Jin.
Most...... Coupled with the relationship between Chu Yin and Ermana.
After all, now because of his relationship with Erma, Chu Yin has reached an alliance with the Turkic Shaporo Khan, and Pu Zhen is here in the north, and he has already secretly communicated with King Sui.
According to the situation he saw now, Chu Yin, Turks, and Sui Wang temporarily formed an alliance to jointly deal with the Great Xia court.
In this way, the Great Xia Imperial Court will definitely have a bad situation, and one day it will be overthrown by these three forces.
But once the Great Xia court is destroyed, what happens next?
At that time, the alliance between the three parties will inevitably break down, and whether it is King Sui or Chu Yin, they will inevitably find ways to unify the Central Plains.
At that time, the two sides will definitely find a way to win over the Turks and jointly deal with the other side.
Irma's scheming, coupled with the benefits of the Turkic cavalry, will gain huge benefits no matter which side he stands on at that time!
Every time he thought of this, Lu An felt a headache.
Calling and calling, it is the people of the Central Plains who suffer losses, while Chu Yin and King Sui only care about their personal interests, and would rather collude with foreigners, and sit on the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan at the expense of the people of the Central Plains!
Therefore, as soon as he touches these, Lu An will subconsciously deliberately avoid these sensitive topics.
- How they are willing to fight to the death is their business, and he, Lu An, should continue to do his business and live his own happy life.
In the evening of the next day, the group finally arrived at Suizhou City.
"Young Master An, look, His Royal Highness King Sui has personally come out to greet you."
Following the direction of Pu Feng's finger, I saw that the gate of Suizhou City was wide open, and King Suizhou personally led people to greet him outside the city.
This scene couldn't help but remind him of the scene when he first arrived in Jiankang, when Chu Yin also greeted him ceremoniously outside the city like King Sui.
Chu Yin's actions at that time were understandable, but this Sui Wang ...... Could it be because he is the messenger of Chu Yin?
Thinking in his heart, Lu An rode his horse to speed up, and when he reached about fifty meters away from King Sui, he turned over and dismounted, and bowed to salute.
"Grass people Lu An, see King Sui."
"Hehe, Brother Lu is too outward." Suiwang Xia Gang dismounted at the same time, and the horse came up quickly, pulling his arm enthusiastically and said with a smile, "After a year or two, Brother Lu's demeanor is still the same." β
Lu An hurriedly took a step back, "Your Highness's status is noble, how dare Lu Moujie grass people, dare to call your Highness a brother and sister?" β
Xia Gang deliberately straightened his face and said unhappily, "Lei Jin is the brother of this king, and Brother Lu and Lei Jin are sworn brothers, you and I are commensurate with each other, why not?"
Could it be that Brother Lu disdains to make friends with this king? β
"The grass people don't dare."
Xia Gang smiled at this time, pulled Lu An's arm, and looked in the direction of Mu Lingfeng, "I heard that Brother Lu picked up the child back, right?"
This king has already found the best old woman in the city to take care of in advance, and someone is comingβ"
Beckoning, an old woman in her forties ran to the front, "Slave and maid, see Your Highness." β
