Chapter 375

It takes ten days to run wildly from the grassland to Chang'an, and it also takes ten days to go from Chang'an to the grassland. It takes 20 days for Hongling to go back and forth in this way, plus the time for the army in the middle to fight, it adds up to more than a month. .

When Hongling's emergency envoy saw Han Yue, it was the end of May in the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty!

This is the end of May in the lunar calendar, the Central Plains is gradually entering summer, and the northern land is as warm as spring.A large amount of snow melted a month ago, rivers thawed, herbs germinated, flowers bloomed everywhere, and it was a sight to behold.

What is the Han Yue army doing now?

The army is now divided into three, each busy making a fortune.

First of all, the 26 cavalry under Han Yue's command ran wildly on the grasslands every day to arrest slaves. Almost all of these cavalry were of Turkic origin, but they were more ruthless in arresting their compatriots.

There is no reason for it. The reward Han Yue gave was too greedy. The reward was so generous for a slave. The result was conceivable. The Turkic cavalry became blood red when they saw the same clan, and often fought for the slave.

At the end of the war, there were 300 million captives, but now the number of captives has soared to 400 million, so the Turkic cavalry has not stopped, they are crazily arresting people every day, and the iron hooves have touched the foot of Yinshan Mountain...

Some of the daring ones even ran all the way to the west of Yinshan Mountain and captured Tuyuhun people to pretend to be slaves.

For example, today, the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Department captured five thousand Tuyuhun slaves, and then salivated and asked Uncle Tian, ​​Tian Ergou and others to register.

"No, this is obviously not a Turkic." Uncle Tian was loyal and silent, but Tian Ergou scolded loudly, "My brother-in-law only asked you to arrest Turkic slaves, but you even arrested Tuyuhun. Turkic slaves can be exchanged for [-] guan, but Tuyuhun doesn’t have that price, they only herd cattle and not sheep, we don’t need cow hair, but wool is useful.”

This guy is now completely pulled, pulling Han Yue's banner into a tiger's skin, and his face is full of majesty.

The cavalry of the Wild Wolf Division was a little dejected. A big warrior with three blood engravings on his forehead bowed and smiled flatly: "Uncle Tian, ​​raise your hand once and register these five thousand slaves, okay?"

He suddenly reached into his arms, took out a beautiful golden cup, and then shoved it into Tian Ergou's arms, whispering, "You don't know, the White Bull and the Evil Tiger are crazy, they If you see a head, you will grab it, even a ten-year-old Turkic baby. Now the entire grassland is almost empty, and now that there are fewer and fewer Turkic slaves, we have no way to catch a few Tuyuhun people..."

Tian Ergou weighed the golden cup in his hand, handed it to a clerk who was in charge of registration, and said with a smile: "This cup is inlaid with a lot of gems, it is barely a small thing, you send it to the prince's tent, Remember, this is the prince's private collection!"

The clerk grinned and said with a grin: "Our lord has made a lot of money these days. Agate the size of a grinding plate, a complete set of silver cups and silver cups, and various gems the size of the belly of a finger are filled with several sack."

Tian Ergou hadn't spoken yet, the three blood-carved warriors of the wild wolf tribe first stared at the bull's eye and shouted: "The entire grassland is the owner's wealth, what if he collects some secrets, who dares to refuse, Ah Chi Lie slashed him with a knife."

The clerk let out a heck, grabbed the golden cup and went to Han Yue's tent.

The wild wolf warrior's eyes flashed, and suddenly he reached into his arms again, but this time he took out an egg-sized agate.

He smirked and said, "You don't dare to ask for the golden cup, this agate gadget is worthless, you keep it for the ladies at home to play with!"

Tian Ergou laughed and said, "You guys seem to have made a fortune this time!"

The great warrior was not without pride, he said: "We captured a middle Tuyuhun tribe."

Tian Ergou let out a "hmm" and rushed towards the sunlight with the agate in his hand to look at it for a long time. He laughed and said, "There are natural gem patterns in it, which is barely a good thing. I will give it to my cousin Tian Doudou later..."

The great warrior was overjoyed and trembled: "Do you want to give it to the mistress?" He suddenly reached into his arms, took out an agate of the same type, and said eagerly, "Brother Tian, ​​take this as well, two Agate beads are a pair!"

Tian Ergou let out a "ha", turned to Uncle Tian and said, "Uncle, you see this kid is so good, should we register them?"

"Come on!" Uncle Tian was counting the goods. He heard the words and pondered for a while, and said honestly: "The wild wolf clan is the direct line of the prince, and they should be given some face..."

When he said that, he glanced at the big warrior, smiled and said again: "That is, your wild wolf clan only has this kind of treatment, if the white bull clan and the evil tiger clan capture the Tuyuhun people and pretend to be Turkic slaves, I Laotian will definitely not register it. ."

"That's what it is!" The big warrior of the wild wolf clan was full of joy, and couldn't help holding his chest high, and said loudly: "The wild wolf clan is the first tribe to defect to the master, where are the white bull clan and the evil tiger clan? The kind of guy who surrendered halfway, although there are many of them, their loyalty is not comparable to us."

Uncle Tian smiled, reached out and took a ledger and handed it to the big warrior, he said with a smile: "Old rules, you write the numbers, I will stamp it, after the registration, the money will be accounted for, and your Bison Department can withdraw it at any time. …”

"Don't withdraw, don't withdraw!" The warrior shook his head again and again, he took a pen and wrote a line of slanted Chinese characters on the ledger, and then said: "Our Bison Department is not that stupid, the money will be spent when it is withdrawn, investment Only the property given to the owner can make more money. Only the poor ghosts of the White Bull and Evil Tiger Department will pay the reward, and they will spend it all when they get it."

"You're a smart guy!" Uncle Tian praised with a smile, reached into his arms and took out a seal, spit on the ledger, and then said, "I see clearly, this is the confirmation of the prince's military exploits. The seal, after it is printed, it means that you have captured [-] slaves, and you will write down a hundred thousand pieces of wealth to the Buffalo Department on the book, and the manager will be you, Achilie.”

The great warrior Achili nodded like a chicken eating rice, and his chest became more and more straight.

Uncle Tian thought for a while, suddenly took out a key from his waist, went into the tent next to him, opened a cabinet with a click, and then came out with a shiny scimitar.

"My Laotian is in charge of the treasure house of the prince. This time, I brought two boxes of treasures. This is the magic sword made by the prince!"

The machete reflected the light of the sword in the sunlight, and the eyes of a group of bison warriors were straight.

Uncle Tian smiled and said: "This kind of magic weapon is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and only the prince can make it in the world. Even if the princes of the Tang Dynasty are very envious, I will give you one today. Ten thousand enemies, only then can I help the lord to do more important things..."

As he spoke, he handed the machete to the other party.Achilie opened his mouth wide with a wide-eyed smile.

"The treasured sword made by the master, this is the treasured sword made by the master!" He raised the machete high and shouted loudly. "There is only one in the Buffalo Department, Achi's sacrifice, Ada's leader, and now I, Achilie, also have one. Ouch, long live the lord!"

"Ouch, ooh!" The surrounding wild wolf warriors cheered at the same time, and said loudly: "Long live the prince, Achilie is mighty..."

A group of people left happily!

Judging by their galloping stance on horseback, I am afraid that another Tuyuhun tribe is going to be unlucky.

Tian Ergou laughed, suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, what do you think of our acting? Do you have the golden horse actor's posture that my brother-in-law said."

"It's okay!" Uncle Tian laughed straight, and said honestly: "This great warrior is not bad. Although he is less than 20 years old, he has three blood carvings on his forehead. He has the potential to become the enemy of thousands of people."

Tian Ergou gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Uncle gave out a machete and directly helped his brother-in-law to deceive a fierce general of ten thousand enemies. We don't lose this deal..."

Uncle Tian kicked him and scolded with a smile: "You talk too much, and you're not afraid of being heard? Hurry up and organize people. These [-] Tuyuhun slaves will be sent to the mutual market for brainwashing for a month before they can be distributed to pastures for grazing."

Tian Ergou said "hmm" and ordered a group of Xuanjia cavalry to escort the slaves, and he himself got on a horse and followed...

……

As mentioned earlier, the army is now divided into three, and each is busy making a fortune. Among them, the Turkic cavalry under Han Yue is the first part, and they mainly capture slaves to make money.

The 30 regular army brought by Li Jing was the second part. After the war, they were also assigned a new job by Han Yue, mainly responsible for searching for the second-generation Han slaves, and then escorting them to the northeast to mine.

At the same time, they also searched for Han women and children, and then gathered together to escort Chang'an.

Every second-generation Han slave is rewarded with five guan, and every Han woman rescued is given ten guan. In less than half a month, the imperial army has captured 50 Han slaves and rescued a million Han women. The pours are full.

The third part is the 70 auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers are actually civilian husbands. They have no combat effectiveness, but this time they also made a fortune.

Han Yue issued an order to let these auxiliary soldiers go everywhere to harvest wool, and give two hundred money for a pound of wool. This is simply giving away wealth in vain.

Special sheep can shear three kilograms of wool at one time. The sheep on the grassland are not special sheep, but they can also shear about one kilogram.

The auxiliary soldiers went crazy. They got up almost before dawn, and worked until they couldn't see the planets at night. Some people could shear ten kilograms of wool a day, and they couldn't believe how much money they made.

In this war, both the regular army and the auxiliary soldiers made a fortune, and the whole grassland was full of laughter, not the laughter of the Turks, but the laughter of the Han family...

Li Ji and the others stood in front of a tent. The dukes looked at the wool that was piled up like a mountain in the camp, and then looked at the bright colors on the faces of the auxiliary soldiers and the civilians. Lao Cheng suddenly grinned and said, "His grandma, the old man is more and more now. I have come to admire King Zhao of the West Mansion more and more, the army of millions is willing to do things, and all of them don’t want cash, I never dared to think about this kind of thing before!”

Everyone nodded, Li Ji stroked his long beard with a light sigh, and said meaningfully: "This is prestige, it is the most powerful force in the world!"

Suddenly there was dust flying in the distance, and a red lingering emissary came frantically. The horse under his crotch was so tired that he foamed at the mouth. , is obviously on the way with a willpower.
