Thanks to dwdw 20 days (Arctic crape myrtle) for a monthly pass!
A day later, it was time for the Jin people to divorce their daughters-in-law every five days, but the target did not appear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yan Xing was not surprised by this, and he asked Xin Kan to continue to monitor while the elite of the more than 200 Jinyi Guards waited closely for the order to attack.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the south.
The Xuzhou caravan, carrying 100,000 sets of armor and 200 catapults, finally arrived at the border town of Esek.
This Essec was originally a city in the center of the Rest Empire, its status was not very important at that time, but now it has become the dividing line between the Roman power and the Great Wei power, the Great Wei Empire not only greatly strengthened the Essec city defense but also stationed tens of thousands of heavy troops in the city, of course, the Romans also stationed heavy troops in the Essec City dozens of miles away from the Essec, the army of the Holca City is the regular army of Rome, with a legion, 50,000 people, although the Esseca City is also a strong city, but it is relatively thin compared to the Essex, It is located on the Great Plains and has no natural hazards to rely on, while the Essec River is relied on.
As soon as the caravan arrived at Esek, Mi Zhu immediately took Cao Cao's secret edict to meet the Esek's guards, who were Cao Ren's subordinate Chen Shi.
"Boss Mi, your boss is finally here!" Chen Shi greeted him.
Mi Zhu smiled and nodded, took out Cao Cao's secret edict, held his right hand high, and said, "Your Majesty's secret decree!" ”
Chen Shi hurriedly bowed and said: "The last general Chen Shi will meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
Mi Zhu said: "Your Majesty asked General Chen to fully assist me in my operation!" ”
Chen Shi hugged his fists and promised, "Yes!" I don't know what Brother Mi wants? ”
"General Chen, how many cavalry do you have?"
"Three thousand!"
Mi Zhu nodded, and asked the province, "Let all the cavalry under your command change into the costume of a caravan guard!" ”
"No! Do I need to move other troops? ”
Mi Zhu said: "I also have to bother General Chen to make all the troops under his command ready to fight at any time!" As soon as I raise the alarm, I will come to my aid!
"No!" Chen-style fists promised.
Mi Zhu left the Essec and came to the caravan station, and said to one of his attendants: "Inform Li Jian immediately!" ”
"No!" The entourage promised and sent a flying pigeon to Li Jian.
That night, Li Jian, who was in Dura Europos, received Mi Zhu's flying pigeon message, and after reading the book, Li Jian nodded and immediately went to see Karen Sa.
"Mr. Li, you must have brought me good news when you came to see me so late!" Karen smirked, a hint of hope in her eyes.
Li Jian nodded and said with a smile: "The general guessed well!" Our caravan has arrived in Esek! General, when do you see the trade? ”
Karen Sa thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Tomorrow, the defenders of Hoka will be on patrol, and this is not a good time to trade!" ”
Li Jian nodded.
"The day after tomorrow! We trade in the forest between Hoka and Esek! What do you think of this? ”
Li Jian thought for a moment, nodded, and said with his fists clenched: "Then it's decided!" I'll go back and inform the caravan! General, please prepare the payment! ”
Karen laughed, "Don't worry! I still understand the truth of doing business! ”
Li Jian gave Karen a fist salute and exited the hall.
After Li Jianyi left, one of Karen Sa's henchmen said a little unwillingly: "General, do we really give him 10 million taels of silver?" ”
Karen said unhappily: "Tony, you have to remember that if you want to achieve great things, you can't care about the little interests in front of you!" ”
Tony snorted, but it was clear from the way he looked that he didn't take Karen Sa's words to heart.
Karen Sa didn't say anything more, he didn't think it would affect his plans.
"Let's go down if there's nothing to do!" Karen said.
Tony bowed to Karen and stepped back.
Tony returned to his barracks, immediately called two of his cronies, and said in a deep voice, "The general has decided to pay the other party 10 million taels of silver!" ”
Both of them couldn't help but be taken aback, simply because of the number itself. The two exchanged a puzzled look, they didn't understand what Tony meant by suddenly talking about it?
Tony snorted coldly, "It's really depressing to give these ten million taels of silver to the profiteers of the Wei people for nothing!" ”
The two generals were stunned, and one asked, "Did the general persuade the general?" ”
"I have been persuaded, but the general will not listen to me! I decided to do it myself! Tony said flatly.
The two generals were startled, and one of the generals said urgently: "How can this work!" If the general had known, we would have ・・・・・・."
Tony said greedily, "I didn't plan to tell the general!" Think about it, 10 million taels of silver, we can live the life of an enviable rich man in Rome or Sardinia, and this huge amount of money is enough for us to be a rich man for a lifetime! What do you guys think? ”
The two generals couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and one of the generals said with bright eyes: "Since the general has decided, then let's do it with the general!" ”
"Good! Go and gather the cavalry at once! Hehe, thank you to the general for rejecting my proposal! Tony asked.
One of the generals said: "But with so many cavalry following, it is difficult for us to hide!" Do you want to divide this huge amount of money? ”
Tony smiled: "After the deed is done, take the hundreds of people closest to you and leave quietly!" ”
The two generals suddenly realized.
Tony's 3,000 cavalry quietly assembled without telling Karensa.
Early in the morning two days later, Karen Sa personally led 5,000 cavalry to the agreed place, carrying 10,000,000 taels of silver to be paid to Mi Zhu.
As the governor of Assyria, it was not uncommon for Karen to lead his men to inspect the territory.
Shortly after Karen Sa led his men out of Ming II, Tony, who was supposed to stay behind in Dura Europos, quietly left the city with 3,000 cavalry.
He lied that he was leading his army out of the city on the orders of the general Karen Sa, and none of the other soldiers in the city doubted this.
Tony and two of his cronies led 3,000 cavalry to the direction of Esek, and after half an hour came to hide in a forest near Esek.
This is a few miles east of the official trading place, in other words, after the transaction is completed, Mi Zhu and their huge sums of money will pass through here.
"General, have they arrived?" Tony asked the scout.
"It's not there yet! But the other party has arrived! ”
"Oh! How many people are there? ”
"Thousands of people, most of them porters, protectors! There are less than a thousand people! ”
Tony was overjoyed, "Great! It seems that this fat sheep can't run away! ”
The two generals nodded approvingly, their eyes shining greedily.
Tony ordered: "All teams are in ambush and waiting for my orders!" Scouts continue to spy on each other and report back as soon as there is a situation! ”
"Yes!" Several people agreed in unison. (To be continued.) )
