The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1124 Fanyang Lu Clan
At this moment, there was a lively greeting outside the tent. Not long after, Zhuolibuhua and several tribal leaders lifted the tent curtain and walked in.

"Oh, look who it is?"

An old man in armor who was talking to an acquaintance greeted enthusiastically: "Isn't this General Zhuolibuhua, the first general beside the Khan?"

"I haven't seen you for the past two days. Where have you been?"

Zhuolibuhua greeted everyone with a smile that showed he was no different from everyone else. He came to Shiluodie, put his right hand on his chest, bowed and saluted, saying, "Zhuolibuhua, under the order of the Khan, led an army of 100,000 to attack Zhuo County. We had already taken it before the sun set yesterday."

"After a night of reorganization, I now report to the Khan."

Zhuolibuhua then reported to Shiluodie the battle process and harvest. The harvest in Zhuo County was no worse than that in Ji County. Finally, Zhuolibuhua said, "Great Khan, in the battle of Zhuo County, we lost 6,000 men and killed 5,000 Tang soldiers."

"Great Khan, I have followed your request. All 120,000 taels of gold have been sent to the Khan's tent. The food has been distributed to the various tribes, and the property has also been distributed."

"Very good, Ben Khan was not wrong about you."

Li Yan personally picked up the copper wine pot on the table, poured a full bowl of mare's milk wine, and handed it over: "Zhuolibuhua, have a bowl of wine to warm yourself up?"

"Thank you, Khan, for the reward."

Zhuolibuhua took it with both hands, looking a little excited, and then drank it all in one gulp. He put down the bowl, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and sat down in the vacant seat on the right: "Khan, the army is stationed in Zhuo County to rest and await your order."

As soon as the words fell, the big tent that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet. In just two cities, there was a loss of 10,000 people. There were countless such cities in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. There were hundreds of them in Hebei alone. If the fighting continued like this.

Even if the Turks had 300,000 people, they would be wiped out.

"Okay, good job."

Shi Luodie took everyone's expressions into consideration, and then calmly said, "The Tang Dynasty's heavy troops are all gathered in the border cities, such as the various passes in the Yanshan Mountains in the north. Generally, there won't be too many troops in the inner cities. Even if there are, they are just some bloodless soldiers guarding the city all year round."

"Fanyang is the core of the Tang Dynasty noble Lu family. Zhuo County and Ji County are where they rose to power, so there is a certain scale of regular soldiers defending it. Other towns may not even have a thousand soldiers, and they don't have much combat power."

"Next, we need to divide our forces and attack different places before the Tang army arrives, and try to conquer the entire Hebei province within a month."

"The Khan is right."

Zhuolibuhua quickly added: "Before leaving, we left all our supplies to the women and children. Aren't we coming to the Tang Dynasty to spend the winter? The Tang Dynasty has countless food and wealth. Our good days have just begun."

"We have 300,000 cavalrymen. Who can stop us?"

"When the ice and snow melt in the spring of next year, we will return to the grassland with countless gold, silver, treasures, and food supplies, and summon a million troops to eliminate the traitor Youxian Wang."

After listening to Shiluodi and Zhuolibuhua's words, the depressed expressions of the crowd finally recovered. At the same time, everyone showed fierce and brutal eyes, just like a wolf rushing into the sheepfold, about to start a feast of killing.

Shi Luodie saw that the morale was lifted again, and looked at Zhuolibuhua with satisfaction. This Gou Ri is indeed worthy of being a "three-dynasty old minister". He is very good at observing the expressions of others and providing timely assistance, and is not inferior to Zhisi Shili beside Jie Li.

"Great Khan, I have something else to report."

Zhuolibuhua saw that the Khan was in a good mood, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Khan, when I attacked Zhuo County, I captured an old man who claimed to be the head of the Lu family. He hopes to meet the Khan, present a great gift, and discuss important matters with the Khan."

"Oh, in that case, bring him up here?"

To get Zhuoli Buhua to help speak for him, this person must have given him a lot of benefits.

Shi Luodie looked at the other person meaningfully, which made Zhuolibuhua blush. He looked embarrassed and smiled twice in a flattering manner.

There are no fish in too clear water. As a superior, he is not afraid of the greed of the people below him. People who work for you naturally want benefits. If you don't reward them, you won't allow them to go out to eat. But you have to let them know that you are deliberately letting them off the hook, and not being deceived by them.

There was a flash of tacit understanding between the two.

Shi Luodie withdrew his attention, thought for a moment, and nodded. He knew that a noble family that could be passed down for hundreds of years and survive through many troubled times must have a set of rules for survival in troubled times. He also wanted to see from the enemy's perspective how these people did it.

Not long after, an old man with white hair and beard, vigorous spirit, and extremely neat and casual appearance came up.

"Lu Yigong, the 36th generation head of the Lu family's Northern Ancestor Branch, pays respect to the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate."

The old man wore a tall hat and a wide belt, and waved his sleeves. With every move, he exuded the aura of a nobleman. Just by showing up to see the emperor, the savages in the Khan's tent felt ashamed of themselves.

The previous scene of wanton howling was no longer there. Even the tribal leaders of the Khitan and Jurchen peoples showed envious expressions. They sat up straight unconsciously, fearing that they would be looked down upon and regarded as savages.

Shi Luodie narrowed his eyes and curled his lips. He didn't care about these so-called nobles who were particular about everything and set up layers of barriers. Their family rules were stricter than those of the royal family, and their thoughts were more conservative than stones. He ignored Lu Yigong who was bowing respectfully, but leaned on the tiger-skin couch, calmly picked up the wine bowl, sipped it gently, and looked up at the roof with his head tilted, as if there was something attractive on the dome inside the tent.

All the beasts in the tent knew that the Khan was trying to intimidate them, so they kept silent and stared at Lu Yigong in the middle with a mocking look on their faces.

The two seemed to be competing secretly in momentum, but Lu Yigong remained calm, holding his hands up and maintaining the original posture without moving.

But Shi Luodie seemed to be asleep and didn't say a word.

Gradually, the two more imposing men did not do anything, but the leaders in the tent became restless. Slowly, people started talking in low voices, and the heavy and stagnant atmosphere was diluted and began to flow.

Lu Yigong thought it was over and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Humph"

Shi Luodie snorted coldly, and a depressing aura emanated from him. It was fierce, domineering, and full of bloodthirsty murderous intent, which continuously flowed towards the people below. The leaders in the tent felt their hearts sink.

This suffocating atmosphere made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Shi Luodie used his power as a single man to overwhelm all the beasts. Some of the tribal leaders who had originally thought that he was too young and secretly looked down upon him were all startled and unconsciously shut their mouths, never daring to take him lightly again.

Lu Yigong, who was the first to bear the pressure, could not bear the pressure and fell to his knees with a plop.

The aura of a king was immediately suppressed, and the arrogance and rebelliousness of the tribal leaders that had arisen from their successive victories were also suppressed.

When everyone looked at Shi Luodie again, no one dared to underestimate this lord of the grassland who had been a puppet for ten years, but truly regarded him as the Great Khan.

"Master Lu, what do you want to say? Tell me!"

Shi Luodie still looked absent-minded, but the atmosphere in the entire tent had become serious.

Except for him, no other leader dared to relax.

Lu Yigong also wiped the sweat off his forehead nervously. He did not expect Shi Luodie to have such a strong aura. It must have taken so many lives to condense this aura. He was indeed a powerful overlord who could rise again under the command of the Right Wise King who swept across the world.

He quickly stood up and said, "Lu learned that the Khan was coming to Hebei, and I failed to welcome him from afar. I came here specially to offer you a valuable gift. Please forgive me, Khan."

"Oh, what are they?"

Lu Yigong doubled the gift he had expected in his mind, and said with a smile: "Lu knows that the Khan loves gold, so we are offering all the gold that the Lu family has accumulated over the generations, a total of 500,000 taels, for the Khan to use, and ten carts of various rare treasures and jewelry."

"There are also 30 gorgeous ladies in their twenties. I hope the Khan will accept them."

Lu Yigong smiled slightly, with a proud look on his face. The more gifts you receive, the less blame you will get. If you give so many benefits right away, any enemy will probably feel in favor and regard the Lu family as one of their own!

What about these northern barbarians?

Over the past few hundred years, the Turks were not the first to enter Hebei, nor were they the last. The Lu family had already had a wealth of countermeasures. If they could not deal with these people, how could the Lu family stand firm in Hebei for hundreds of years?

Lu Yigong's trip was not only to preserve himself, but also to use these Turks for his own benefit, to eliminate some competitors for himself, and to deal with some people who were usually inconvenient for him to deal with personally after he had set up a memorial archway for them.

'call'

When the beasts in the tent heard this, their eyes widened rapidly, and they all showed extremely greedy expressions, with saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths. If it weren't for Shi Luodie's previous shock, I'm afraid everyone would have started to make a fuss now.

However, everyone then began to feel disappointed.

They knew that the Great Khan, Shiluodi, and the Right Wise King were both gold lovers and had a hobby of collecting gold. Before starting the rebellion, Shiluodi had said that he wanted to build a Khan's court made of gold.

Therefore, all the gold obtained during the march south must be taken by us, and the other property will not be taken at all and can be divided among everyone.

As the Great Khan, Shi Luodie's request was not excessive, and his strength was enough to suppress the beasts, so no one dared to disobey. Especially when two Jurchen tribes with more than a thousand tribes secretly hid gold in the battle of Xincheng, and were inhumanely killed by Shi Luodie in front of the three armies.

Everyone knows that this is the bottom line and anyone who violates it will die.

From then on, people were no longer interested in gold. As long as the tribe could offer a large amount of gold, it would be appreciated by Shi Luodi and given a greater reward. They could even be given the opportunity to lead troops to attack the city and have priority in the distribution of supplies.

I didn’t expect that even the natives of Hebei know about it now.
