I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Si Yue?"

Seeing Chen Qingyun stunned, Jiang Zuo patted her shoulder gently, then took the fish food from her hand and sprinkled it onto the water in the distance.

"Now that you have the military power, what are your plans?"

Chen Qingyun calmed down, put away the murderous intent that flashed across his mind, and began to ask Jiang Zuo about his plan.

"plan?"

Jiang Zuo held a fishing bait in his hand and said, "The plan is to have the Six Towns Army return to where they came from."

"what?"

Chen Qingyun suddenly turned his head.

Jiang Zuo explained: "I ordered the Six Towns Army to withdraw from Anding County. What they plan to do in the future has nothing to do with me. I will leave it all to Yan Kang to command. I only need to defend the Anding County area, and then slowly deal with the Mobei tribes."

"Without the Six Towns Army, how could we possibly defeat them with only the few thousand men of your Anding Army..."

Chen Qingyun also began to doubt Jiang Zuo at this moment.

Jiang Zuo said, "I plan to use economic warfare to wear down those Mobei barbarians and defeat them without fighting."

"Economic war?"

Chen Qingyun didn't understand.

"It's just doing business with them, and then stirring up internal strife among them..."

Jiang Zuo gave a meaningful smile.

Chen Qingyun could not understand such a plan.

"You'd better not screw it up, or the emperor will definitely blame you."

Chen Qingyun warned.

"rest assured,"

"I heard that the tribes in Mobei have recently gathered their forces. Without the help of the Six Towns Army, aren't you afraid that the northern barbarians will attack Anding County?"

Chen Qingyun was worried and hoped that Jiang Zuo could withdraw the plan. She also didn't mind handing over the troops of the Six Towns Army to Jiang Zuo.

"If the northern barbarians dare to come, I will make sure they never return!"

Jiang Zuo was quite confident and threw all the baits in his hand into the pond.

……

One hundred miles away from Anding County.

On the vast grassland, thousands of war horses are galloping, and the scene is quite spectacular.

On horseback were burly men wearing fur sweaters.

On that grassland, there are tens of thousands of Mobei tribal warriors stationed.

In a large tent in the middle, the leaders of the twelve tribes were gathered.

The purpose of this gathering is to discuss the matter of going south again.

"The last time we went south, our twelve tribes had gathered all their elite troops, but we still failed to make it south. How did the Yan army know our whereabouts? Did someone leak the plan in advance?"

The man who was speaking was more than seven feet tall, with a rough face. He was Igna, the Khan of the Gul tribe, the largest tribe in Mobei.

The other tribal leaders looked at each other and talked endlessly.

Someone asked, "I heard that Suolu of the Karen tribe was captured by the Yan army. Could it be that he betrayed us?"

"It is a shame for the people of Mobei that Suolu, a useless man, could be captured by the Yan army."

As a small tribe, the Karen tribe was not included in the twelve-tribe alliance.

"Everyone, please come out for a moment."

I heard someone shouting outside the tent.

Everyone was puzzled and left the tent one after another.

"Your Majesty!"

I heard someone say that.

Five tribal warriors were kneeling in front of the tent.

"This is?"

Igna asked doubtfully.

"Reporting to the Khan, these people are all spies of the Yan army, and we have already found them out!"

Outside the tent, the man shouted loudly.

"Spies from the Yan army? Damn it, no wonder they know our whereabouts so clearly, it's because of these traitors."

"Maybe there are other spies in the army!"

All the Khans were furious.

"Bring me the knife."

Igna said angrily.

Those people knelt on the ground, trembling.

Click!

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

Igor raised his sword and chopped off the heads of all the traitors.

"Fuck them! Let these bastards die so easily!"

Di Zhen, the leader of the western part of the sea, also picked up a knife and vented his anger at the corpses.

"It was because of these people's leaks that we in Mobei lost tens of thousands of brothers!"

Ignat said loudly.

Everyone was talking about it again.

At this moment, the sound of a carriage was suddenly heard approaching the tent.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and only when the carriage slowly approached could they clearly see the face of the person in it.

It was the leader of the Karen tribe, Solu.

Solu jumped off the carriage and came before the leaders.

"Solu? Weren't you captured by the Yan army?"

Igna asked doubtfully.

"Jiang Zuo released this Khan himself."

Solu explained.

Di Zhen said with disdain: "That Jiang Zuo? He is full of tricks. I have fought him several times before. I made a mistake and was tricked by him. I absolutely cannot trust this man."

Suolu looked calm and added: "Not only did he let me go, he also gave me a lot of supplies. Look." As he spoke, he pointed to the batch of supplies donated by Jiang Zuo behind him.

"There is no such good thing in the world."

Everyone was surprised and went forward to check it out.

This grain, this salt, and this high-quality tea are all important supplies needed by their Mobei tribe.

Looking at the batch of supplies behind Solu, the tribal leaders in the northern desert were all jealous.

"Could it be that you, Soru, have already surrendered to the Yan army and are now acting as a spy for the Yan army?"

Di Zhen questioned.

"That's not true! I have always been loyal to Changshengtian!"

Suolu spoke firmly, and added: "It's just that I came here today to persuade you that there is no need to raise troops to the south. We only need to exchange other supplies with Jiangzuo for food and salt, and we can survive this cold winter."

Exchange supplies?

The twelve tribe leaders all disdained this proposal.

"It is absolutely unbelievable. This must be a trick of the Yan army. I'm afraid you have been fooled, Suolu."

Di Zhen waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Anding County is extremely rich. Jiang Zuo will not break his promise. He also asked us to find a kind of stone. One pound of stone can be exchanged for one pound of grain..."

Solu assured.

At this time, Yigena thought of another point and said, "Since Anding County is so rich, why don't we gather a large force and take Anding directly!"

"That's right!"

Everyone agreed.

These barbarians from the northern desert are plundering by nature, so if there is such a good place, they certainly won't let it go.

"The Six Towns Army was badly damaged in the battle of Deep Valley. Yesterday, our spies reported that the Six Towns Army had already withdrawn from Anding County. Now, there are only 3,000 people left in Anding County. We have more than 40,000 people in all the tribes in Mobei. Is it possible that we can't take down such a small Anding County?"

"But the magistrate of Anding County is no simple person."

"That's right. I heard that he was the one who captured Solu himself."

Someone said with a hint of ridicule.

Solu looked embarrassed and felt ashamed when he mentioned this matter.

"As long as we take over Anding County, our Mobei tribe will be able to obtain a large amount of food and supplies, and we don't have to worry about this cold winter."

Now that winter is approaching, the Mobei tribe must take risks, otherwise their people will face a disaster.

"The Karen tribe will not accompany you."

Suolu has already agreed to Jiang Zuo's request, so it is impossible for him to send troops together.

"It doesn't matter. You, a coward, are worthy of being the son of the Mobei Changshengtian."

It is clear that Solu has been isolated from other tribes.

A war is inevitable...
