Chapter 104: The East Wind (3)

The conversation between Lu Yao and the others did not last long.

After a while, Xue Tong took the lead in saying goodbye.

Although he has taken Daiwang City as a foothold, the northern frontier is still dangerous for Lu Yao and others. The Hu coalition army, which should have been killed in a rage today, suddenly disappeared, making most of Lu Yao's previous plans useless. Obviously, the coexistence of countless forces in the vast northern frontier is not so simple to 'feel' clearly, and somewhere where Lu Yao has not yet mastered, there will be a dark 'tide' surging and turbulent.

Of course, this situation is not known to ordinary soldiers, they just need to fight bravely and celebrate victory after victory. But the tense nerves of generals such as Lu Yao and Xue Tong will never relax because of the small victory of Dai Wangcheng. Even on the day of victory, Xue Tong would still personally take on the guard function around the Daiwang City, and strictly guard every corner of the Daiwang City with 400 'elite' soldiers.

After another moment, Shao Xu also got up and saluted and said goodbye: "I know the general's intentions." This will be arranged as soon as possible. ”

He had already written down Lu Yao's various requirements, and then went to work. This new Changshi is also Lu Yao's only civilian staff member at the moment, and if you look at the workload, he will be the hardest in the past few days.

Behind the hall where Lu Yao talked with Shao Xu and Xue Tong was a large-scale platform. The platform is about half the size of the entire Fort Marshall. The platform is connected to the main hall by a wide walkway. The trail slopes upwards, so the platform is positioned higher than the main hall, surrounded by a triple base on all sides.

The platform is square in shape and large enough to accommodate thousands of people, and it is magnificent in scale. However, due to the careless daily maintenance of the Luochuan thieves, ruins are seen everywhere, which appear to be in disrepair, giving people a sense of desolation and desolation.

The floor of the platform was supposed to be covered with white 'colored' stone slabs, but at the moment most of the stone slabs were shattered, 'exposing' the rammed earth underneath. Scattered weeds and thorns grew haphazardly in the soil here, and in other places the crumbling rubble had piled up in thick layers that looked uneven and mottled from a distance. Throughout the platform, there are dozens of simple and clumsy foundation stones scattered around. Each of these behemoths weighs hundreds or even thousands of catties, and according to the specifications of the grooves on the foundation stone, it is estimated that the giant pillars that were jointed in the tenon and tenon in the past are only afraid of the thickness of the hug.

Obviously, this platform is where the main hall of the royal city of the Dynasty Kingdom, which used to dominate the northern frontier, is located. The main hall of the main hall of the main hall is just a small house built on the ruins of the building at the entrance of the main hall. This foundation alone is so majestic, and the beams and cornices it once supported must be even more magnificent. It's a pity that hundreds of years of time have flown by, and it has been wiped out without a trace.

Around the platform, there are stables, corrals, barracks and dungeons built by the robbers themselves. Shao Xu Shicai brought a number of soldiers to count and sort out the materials. The dungeon held the old and weak hostages who had been held by the Luo Chuan thieves, and according to Lu Yao's intentions, Shao Xu released them all and reunited them with their relatives.

Shao Xu himself found an empty house on the east side of the platform as the official office of General Pingbei Changshi. Under his jurisdiction, there are currently 20 'elite' soldiers transferred by Lu Yao and Xue Tong, and 50 strong men who are responsible for baggage. In addition, among the captives captured in the past few days, those who are old and weak are also under Shao Xu's jurisdiction, and some of them may be available and have not yet been screened.

These soldiers and strong men are all old men who can only fight, and none of them can read and write, so the current details and clerical work can only be done by Shao Xu, Shao Zhu and his son.

Two hours later, a grand banquet was held on the platform.

In northern Xinjiang, there is never a shortage of cattle and sheep, and the inferior 'milk' wine is properly distributed in leather bags. When the soldiers had almost eaten and drunk, several strong men pushed the heavy cart to the open space in the center of the platform, and then pryed the wheels and dumped the things piled on the cart to the ground...... It was the reward that Lu Yao was about to give, hundreds of thousands of coins.

Countless coins collided with each other as they poured down, making a crisp clanging sound; And the countless dingdong sounds converged together, and it became a dull bang!

Hundreds of thousands of coins, there are five baht coins of the Han and Wei dynasties, there are earlier Qin and Han half two coins, the number is less and particularly 'fine' beauty is Wang Mang's money, if the eyes are more favorable, you can even find that there are three points in the late Han Dynasty, when the thousand big money. These are the ill-gotten gains that Luochuan thieves have looted for decades, and they are all in the hands of Lu Yao at this moment. They slipped off the cart and hula-la-la-heaped in piles, each of which was a staggering amount of money, glowing with a mouth-watering metallic sheen in the light of the campfire.

Lu Yao coughed lightly and stepped forward, standing among the mountains of coins.

The soldiers who had been laughing and laughing suddenly fell silent. On the empty platform, only the crackling of firewood in the fire pit was heard from time to time. In the past few days of fighting, the soldiers have witnessed the uprooting of the once mighty tribes, and in their hearts, the young general has initially established his prestige.

Lu Yao pointed to piles of coins: "These are the secret treasures of the Luochuan thieves, and in order to transport them here, four carts were used. I haven't counted the exact amount of money. Because there are too many to count. ”

Lu Yao smiled, and around him, many soldiers laughed and nodded in unison. Whether it is in the north or the Central Plains, the people at the bottom will not have the opportunity to receive education; For the vast majority of soldiers, the maximum number they can grasp is probably no more than a hundred. Tens of thousands of huge coins, that is something they could never have imagined in their lifetime.

"In yesterday's battle, we seized a similar treasury from Doulu Ji; A lot of money was also collected from the elders of the Bomil tribe. Estimating the number, even if they are not as rich as the Luo Chuan thief's family, they are not too much. As these words came out, Lu Yao clearly heard the slight whispers around him. Those who were born in the Doulu Ji Department and the Bo Mei Department were unsurprisingly a little 'commotion'. Within the tribes of northern Xinjiang, the distinction between the noble and the low is the same as that of the Central Plains; Patriarchs, elders, and commanders greedily grab wealth, while ordinary herdsmen have no place to stand. Maybe the horse thieves would be better, but the desperate fight was only a little scrap left by the leader.

Perhaps in the past, the Hu warriors, whose way of survival was simple and monotonous, rarely thought of this. But at this moment, under the impact of the huge amount of money flashing with golden light, their 'chaotic' minds suddenly understood something.

"Now, it's all yours." Lu Yao grabbed a handful of five-baht coins and let them fall from between his five fingers: "These are the rewards given to you by Lu Yao, the general of my Great Jin Ya 'Gate'. ”

In the next instant, the sound of thousands of people hissing and inhaling at the same time merged into a strange wind, which swept past the many warriors.

Half an hour later, when Lu Yao retreated from the middle of the platform, all the money that was originally around him had been distributed to the soldiers. As a result, the morale of the soldiers soared to unimaginable levels. Someone held up the coins in his hand one by one to look at them, and when they looked at them, they began to cry. Many more cheered loudly, and some even danced the traditional dances of their tribes, as if forgetting that the rewards they had received had come precisely because of the destruction of their tribes.

Of course, the reward for the soldiers was not only about money. 'Fine' weapons, armor, and higher status are all kinds of rewards. But perhaps it was because Lu Yao's generosity of throwing thousands of dollars was too surprising, and after that, the reward for the fifty warriors did not achieve the expected 'inspiring' effect.

Lu Yao, who turned back to eat and drink, gulped down a bowl of 'meat' soup, and said excitedly: "These Hu'er live extremely hard, but they are fierce and good at death, and they only need dozens of five-baht coins to be given to gain the support of a brave warrior, driving them to fight, to kill, to die, and to do anything." And in Luoyang? The high 'gate' scholar clan who has no power to tie the power of the 'chicken' has a daily eclipse of ten thousand dollars, and they still claim to have no place to go down......"

He Yun and the others, who were sitting around Lu Yao, all smiled bitterly. Shao Xu lifted the wooden spoon with a long handle and added half a bowl of soup to Lu Yao, and sighed.

He was about to say something, but Zhu Sheng hurried over, took out a silk book from his arms, and presented it to Lu Yao with both hands: "General, the master of Huzhai is in a hurry." ”
