Chapter 172: Why is this?
With the decision of the Dawu Dynasty to negotiate peace, the border army also transported all the spoils back to Tai'an City.
The carriages continued endlessly, spreading for nearly thirty miles.
It took hundreds of officials at the border to take inventory for two hours before the inventory was completed, and all the materials were put into storage, and Cheng Meng went to report with the documents.
In the General's Mansion, Cheng Meng said loudly.
"A total of 3.6 million stones of grain and grass, and 160,000 pairs of armor and weapons were seized in this expedition."
"There are also gold, silver, jewelry, etc., totaling 1.7 million taels."
The rest of the scattered objects were quickly skimmed by Cheng Meng.
He knew that Su Mo didn't care about these details, as long as the statistics of grain, grass, armor and weapons were correct.
Zhuge Liang said with a smile on the side.
"Your statistics are incorrect."
"There are also three million taels of silver compensated by the Dawu Dynasty, which should be four million and seven thousand taels."
Cheng Meng seemed to react and slapped his thigh violently.
"Yes, Master Strategist is right, I'll ask them to recount."
Su Mo beckoned to stop Cheng Meng.
"It's okay, let's finalize all the details with the Dawu Dynasty first."
"I'll leave this matter to the military advisor."
Zhuge Liang put down the feather fan and bent down to give up.
"Deliberating on the details is a trivial matter."
"The ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been out of the customs for a long time, and a few days ago, he personally presided over the early dynasty."
"The meaning of this is self-evident."
His words were not made up out of thin air, the scouts of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the border had already sent back relevant news, including some unknown inside stories.
Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is constantly dispatching the elite of the vassal kings from all over the country, the intention is very obvious, once the preparations are completed, it will definitely move troops to the border passes.
Now that the Dawu Dynasty has agreed to negotiate peace, everyone has solved their worries, and what they are about to face is the real strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor of the Xiao family!
Even if Zhuge Liang spied on many sides, he still failed to get more information.
I only know that the ancestor of the Xiao family has favored Xiao Xuan's harem one by one.
Other than that, there is no other hidden insider.
Such a lack of information made Zhuge Liang a little faintly uneasy.
For the border army, the real enemy has always been the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Especially now that Su Mo is about to become emperor, the Great Zhou Dynasty is naturally more anxious.
Looking at the worried expressions of Zhuge Liang and the others, Su Mo waved his hand calmly.
"It's okay, don't worry."
"Even if the ancestor of the Xiao family goes out of the mountain, it won't help."
"Just take care of your own business!"
Everyone nodded, left the Great General's Mansion quickly, and returned to the barracks to prepare for related matters, while the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into another shock.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the imperial capital, above the court, the military department Shangshu said with a smile on his face.
"Qi Qi Ancestor, 300,000 elites are ready, and they can go out at any time!"
On the dragon chair, the ancestor of the Xiao family nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay."
"The army will march out and march to the border in three days."
The voice fell, and the court was full of echoing voices, and all the ministers were boasting about the wisdom of the ancestors, the victory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and so on.
In the compliments of everyone, the ancestor of the Xiao family proudly left the court and went straight to the harem, leaving only a group of ministers to continue to compliment.
With the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty's mobilization three days later, the world shook.
In the court of the Xiongnu king, King Youxian said excitedly.
"Khan, the ancestor of the Xiao family made a move, this is my chance for the Huns."
"Why don't you mobilize a large army and wait for it at the border."
The Xiongnu Khan was also quite moved when he heard this, and planned to mobilize the army to the border pass.
"The Khan must not be moved in vain."
"We, the Huns, negotiated peace with the border not long ago, and now we must not easily cross the border."
"If you anger Su Mo, won't the gains outweigh the losses."
His words were extremely sincere, and his expression was full of worry.
Previously negotiated peace with Su Mo, the tribe under his command suffered the most serious losses, and now it is the time to cultivate and recuperate.
If a big war breaks out at this time, King Zuo Xian doesn't know when he will be able to make up for the cattle and sheep under his command.
Right Xianwang's current plan is obviously to tear his face with Su Mo.
The king of the left and the king of the right are insisting on their own words, and they are both unwilling to give in.
The officials on the side were divided into two factions, each supporting the left and right kings.
Looking at the situation in the big tent, the Xiongnu Khan was extremely irritable, he waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Don't talk about it again."
"The army shall not stand still, and shall not raise swords without permission."
After speaking, he motioned for everyone to leave, leaving only some retainers to discuss internal affairs.
……
On the other side, in the Liyang Dynasty, all the officials were quite worried, and the secretary of the military department handed over the collected documents, and then bowed his head and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, all the elites from all over the Great Zhou have gathered, and the border defense is weak."
"I can take the opportunity to send troops from the Yang Dynasty to attack the city."
The ministers flipped through the documents presented by the Ministry of War one by one, thought about it, and were quite excited in their hearts.
The Great Zhou Dynasty drained all the elites under its command, which was tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.
The Liyang Dynasty accumulated armaments for decades, and the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered repeated losses.
Under the advantages of one and the other, everyone is a little moved in their hearts.
As the secretary of the military department presented the document to everyone, all the officials were even more moved by this matter, and they couldn't hold back the restlessness in their hearts.
Hube Shangshu thought about it in his heart, walked in front of everyone, and said loudly.
"The household department now has enough money and food, and it can fight!"
Everyone was quite excited when they heard this, and the Liyang Dynasty had been tolerating everywhere before.
Now that they finally have the opportunity to send troops to attack other countries, all the officials can't hide their excitement.
The repeated failures of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the elimination of the army were the best opportunity for the Liyang Dynasty, and even everyone had strange thoughts about Xiangguan.
Above the court, everyone talked about how to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty and how to deal with the Sumo border army.
Some civilian officials are like generals who have been fighting for many years, with high spirits and high spirits.
Everyone wants to take this opportunity to show their strength and make contributions.
On the dragon chair, Zhang Wentian thought about it for a while, and felt that the situation was still not obvious enough.
The Liyang Dynasty should not easily mobilize a large army, he planned to wait until the Xiao Family Ancestor and Su Mo made a decision after separating the winners and losers head-to-head.
Looking at the arguing crowd, Zhang Wentian said coldly.
"Noise!"
"This matter is not settled, and it must not be discussed again."
"The general and the left minister came to the study with me."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Wentian dealt with everyone and then returned to the study.
Wait for the general and Zuo Xiang to come to the study to discuss the timing of sending troops to the Great Zhou.
In the border passes, when the people heard the news of the mobilization of the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they didn't care.
The people in the streets were busy as if they didn't know about it, and there was no sign of a big war about to come.
Some scouts of the Great Zhou Dynasty were extremely surprised when they collected information.
