Chapter Seventy-Three: The First Gold Outside the Plug

The living habits of the Xianbei people were inherited from the Huns, living in the grass and migrating at four times. With the exception of a few exceptional cases, there is no fixed city.

The Nado clan is a typical nomadic tribe, the whole tribe is composed of a tent, a tent is a family, densely packed with a large number of tents also looks magnificent.

Of course, Shang Ji didn't dare to rashly lead the Black Armor Xuanqi into it. He excused himself to Nadoland and said that he was afraid of disturbing the women and children, so he stationed his army on a high ground not far from here.

It can be seen that Nadorand is also jealous of the Black Armor Xuanqi. pretended to invite him, and then didn't say a word about letting the Black Armor Army enter for repairs.

"After a while, Chen Mo and I will enter it, and you will lead the army to be vigilant!"

Taking advantage of Nadorland's unpreparedness, Shang Ji whispered.

"Lord!!" As soon as these words came out, the generals under his command were shocked.

"The lord's body is in danger of the safety of the army, how can he be in danger, it is better to order the last general to go on behalf of the lord." Zhao Shen spoke first.

"Yes, yes, let's go." The other generals also chimed in.

"Nonsense, the next meeting with Xianbei is very important, who of you can make the decision for me?" Shang Ji snorted softly and interrupted the generals' petition.

When the generals heard this, they immediately stopped talking, and Shang Ji talked about it, and if he insisted on attending on behalf of Shang Ji, he would have the meaning of seeking power and usurping the throne.

"After I leave, you should be on guard, and once you find that there is an unexpected situation in the city, you will immediately rush in and answer me and General Chen."

"Also, assuming that we have been in for an hour and there has been no movement, you will immediately lead your army back to Blackwater Plug overnight. I ordered my brother-in-law Deng Yan to temporarily take charge of everything in Heishui and wait for me to return. ”

"Lord ......"

"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say it anymore!" Shang Ji waved his hand and interrupted several generals who were still about to speak.

The generals glanced at each other helplessly, and arched their hands: "The last general will take the order!" ”

After the arrangement was made, Shang Ji and Chen Mo walked side by side to the Nado clan's settlement.

"Chen Mo, this trip is not a small risk, do you blame me?"

"Where the general is, it is my honor to be able to walk with the general, but if I don't walk with the general, there may be trouble in the end. Speaking of which, I have to thank the general for his understanding. ”

Shang Ji nodded when he heard this, and did not say anything more.

Chen Mo is right, in addition to being a player, and being able to resurrect even if he dies, the most important thing is to show his innocence.

Shang Ji planned to join Xianbei as a rebel. Then in the form of mercenaries, they fought against Xianbei. In this way, it can not only collect the spoils of war, but also avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Xianbei army, and disguise their own conquest and killing as Xianbei's internal contradictions.

But then identity becomes a big problem.

Shang Ji must ensure that Yan Huang does not think that he is in contact with foreign countries. Although strictly speaking, Xianbei is not a foreign force, but it is better not to misunderstand.

Yan Huang can tolerate Shang Ji being the black glove of a certain bigwig, and can allow him to be an unborn Chinese folk genius. But he will never be allowed to collude with foreign powers.

Once it is confirmed that Shang Ji really has such signs, it will definitely be a large army that will not leave an inch behind!

And Shang Ji definitely can't afford to declare war with Yan Huang, so it is necessary to take Chen Mo with him, so that Chen Mo can participate in his plan throughout the whole process, so as to prove his innocence.

This is very helpless, but it is the best way at present, and no one can afford to provoke Yanhuang at this stage.

Chen Mo understood what Shang Ji meant, and he was happy to do so. Of course, there will be no complaints about going into danger.

After the two Shang Ji and the others left, Gao Xiang was on high alert, and the whole army of the Black Armor Xuancai maintained the highest state of combat readiness, always ready to rush in to rescue Shang Ji as soon as there was a disturbance.

Time passed minute by minute, and Gao Xiang and the others became more and more anxious. Due to Shang Ji's military orders, he couldn't do anything, so he could only stare wide-eyed, staring at every move in the Nado clan's town, and always ready to get on his horse and fight.

In the distance, in a trance, he saw two figures riding horses, and Gao Xiang immediately looked at it carefully. The night was dark, and it was impossible to confirm who was coming for a while.

"Alert!" Gao Xiang gave the order, and then rode out.

"Shugu, can there be an accident?" The visitor asked aloud. Shugu is the word of Gao Xiang.

When Gao Xiang heard this, he immediately dismounted and saluted, and replied: "Lord Qiqi, there is no accident. ”

"Okay, come back to camp with me."

Gao Xiang stepped onto his horse, followed behind the merchants, and returned to the camp.

The other generals in the camp also found out that it was Shang Ji and Chen Mo, and their hearts were finally put down temporarily.

Although he was very concerned about the safety of the merchants, he did not flock to it due to military discipline.

"All the soldiers have worked hard, now start to set up camp, except for the necessary guards, you can rest, and in addition, you will hold a military meeting in the Chinese army tent in the future!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers replied in unison.

In a short time, the Black Armor Xuanqi had already completed the work of setting up camp, and at the same time, temporary fortifications had been set up, and the scouts had been dispatched. Shang Ji looked around and found that there was no problem, so he returned to the military tent to start this military meeting.

The generals had been waiting in the camp for a long time, and the merchants did not talk nonsense when they arrived, and threw a big bomb at the beginning.

"I am now a thousand-person elder under the command of the Xianbei Jie Drum Department Naduo Clan, don't be mistaken in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the camp tent suddenly fell silent, and the generals looked at Shang Ji stupidly, and looked at each other stupidly, not knowing if they were dreaming.

"Lord, please also ask the lord to solve the doubts of the last general." In the end, Gao Xiang asked out loud.

For a while, the generals focused on Shang Ji, hoping that Shang Ji could give a reasonable explanation.

Fortunately, the loyalty of the generals under Shang Ji's command is generally above ninety, otherwise this sentence may directly lead to a mutiny.

At present, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not yet broken out, and the prestige of the Han court is still quite high, and there are countless loyal people. The player's brain is pumped to lead the army under his command to rebel, and nine times out of ten it may directly lead to a mutiny in the army, and the general takes the initiative to arrest it and dedicate it to the government.

Only after the outbreak of the "Dong Zhuo's Rebellion", the majesty of the Han Dynasty was lost, and the players chose to stand on their own to have the possibility of success.

Now that Shang Ji has spoken of treason against the enemy, the generals under his command are just puzzled and questioned, which is already a blessing for Shang Ji's super high prestige and loyalty. In general, even if an NPC has already been recruited, the player is likely to leave or even betray if they do something that seriously violates their philosophy.

"Don't worry, this is just a superficial identity, I have discussed with the head of the Nado clan, we pretend to be Han rebels who defected to their tribe, but in fact remain independent. Helping the Nado clan to conquer other Xianbei clans, seizing the spoils of war, etc., are all kept by ourselves, and the Nado clan also has to pay an additional employment fee. In this way, we can not only play the purpose of accumulating wealth and training troops, but also exacerbate the internal friction of Xianbei and weaken the strength of Xianbei. ”

After listening to Shang Ji's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

"The master's clever plan, I admire it." The generals said in unison.

This model can effectively reduce the possibility of being surrounded and suppressed by the Xianbei army, but there are great hidden dangers.

First of all, in the Han court, Shang Ji, as the general of Heishui Sai, led the army to fight privately, and at least one crime of leaving his post without permission could not escape. If you dig deeper, if you don't do it well, it will be self-defeating, and if you really bear the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, you can't even wash it away even if you jump into the Yellow River!

However, fortunately, Shang Ji is the guard of Heishui Sai, and Heishui Sai has been deliberately ignored by all parties for a long time, and it is Shang Ji's sworn brother Liu Yi who is directly responsible for Heishui Sai, and the possibility of Shang Ji's exposure is greatly reduced.

Although there are still some risks, in the face of huge returns, this risk was decisively ignored by Shang Ji.

"In today's battle, our army annihilated hundreds of enemies, and in order to win us over, Nadoland, the head of the Nado clan, handed over the spoils of these hundreds of enemy troops to us, which is also the first harvest of our expedition."

Shang Ji ignored the compliments of the congregation general and continued to speak.

"Oh? Lord, I don't know how much our army has gained this time? Gao Xiang asked excitedly when he heard this, he seemed to have a great interest in this kind of looting of foreign property.

"A total of six hundred and seventy-two war horses, as well as a corresponding number of weapons and equipment. Because the level of these equipment is too low, our army wants to be useless, and I exchanged two hundred war horses with Nado! ”

"Hiss ......"

For a moment, the tent was filled with the sound of inhalation.

"So, we have gained more than 800 horses in this battle?" Gao Xiang swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief.

"That's true, and most of them are medium-grade war horses!" Chen Mo, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected.

"It's gone!" Liu Meng muttered unconsciously.

The others immediately felt the same way.

Eight hundred medium-grade war horses, at the current market price, are almost equivalent to nearly 20,000 gold coins! And what about Shang Ji's losses today? Only a dozen or so black-armored Xuanqi were injured, and not even a single one was killed!

Immediately after the First World War, the tight financial situation of the merchants was greatly improved, and even funds were available for further expansion.

"Lord!" All the generals aimed their blazing eyes at Shang Ji, and their eyes were red!

"Don't be in a hurry." Shang Ji waved his hand, calming down the generals who had been stimulated by the huge gains.

"I have some things to explain before I play again."

"My lord, please command!" The generals stood up and said.

In order to prevent a long night and many dreams, Zhao Shen led a hundred black-armored Xuan cavalry to escort back the loot obtained this time overnight, and ordered Su Huan, who stayed behind, to immediately start training and recruiting light cavalry. There were not enough personnel to go to Wangquan County to recruit, and all other armies that exceeded the establishment were transferred to the reserve. When you return, bring all the cavalry forces in the Blackwater Plug! ”

"The last general commands!" Zhao Shen was born.

"The confiscated war horses will be handed over to Deng Yan for processing, and the excellent war horses will be selected first to ensure the needs of our army. Sell surplus war horses to supplement military funds. Note that priority is given to Liu Yi in Wangquan County, Li Taining in Baiyun Village, and Eagle King in Liaodong County, and the excess is sold to other forces. Glancing at Chen Mo, Shang Ji finally added Yanhuang's Liaodong representative Eagle King to the priority list.
