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

After a while, Solu returned to the vicinity of the tent.

"Solu, what did that Yan thief say just now?"

Di Zhen questioned.

"What do you say has nothing to do with you? You are such a selfish person, you are forcing us Mobei people into a desperate situation."

Suolu was also quite dissatisfied with Di Zhen.

In his heart, he actually agreed to negotiate with the Yan people so that the people of Mobei could survive this cold winter. He did not expect Di Zhen to be so opposed, which led to the failure of the peace talks.

With such a warmongering attitude, I wonder how many soldiers will be sacrificed.

"What did that Yan thief say to you just now while pointing at me?"

Di Zhen was extremely confused.

"No comment."

However, Suolu didn't want to talk too much with Di Zhen.

"You traitor, don't let me find out that it was you who betrayed us!"

Di Zhen gritted his teeth.

"Get out of the way. I don't want to waste time talking to you."

Solu shrugged.

"Everyone, let's gather our troops again, and in a few days, we'll head south to rob them."

Di Zhen suddenly shouted loudly, completely not caring that Jiang Zuo and his group were still nearby, as if these words were meant to warn Jiang Zuo.

Hearing this, Suolu frowned immediately and said with some helplessness: "You will lead Mobei to a dead end sooner or later."

"What did you say?!" Di Zhen was still furious, "As for your Karen tribe, I only need 3,000 soldiers to crush it!"

Suolu didn't want to pay attention to him and rode away, leaving Di Zhen roaring helplessly there.

Jiang Zuo saw everything they said and did.

Jiang Zuo deliberately walked to a place not far in front of Di Zhen and stopped.

Then, Yang Feng walked in front of Jiang Zuo. At this time, Jiang Zuo spoke: "Sulu has already promised us five taels of silver for each laborer. He said that there are enough people from other tribes on the grassland, enough to capture 20,000 or 30,000 people. These grassland people are all strong and healthy, so they must have the strength to work..."

"Your Excellency is wise. This Solu is really cruel. He actually directly did this to his own..."

"Shh!"

Jiang Zuo deliberately asked Yang Feng to speak in a low voice, and then turned his gaze to Di Zhen.

Di Zhen saw everything they said and did.

These words immediately shocked Di Zhen.

"What are you talking about, twenty or thirty thousand? What is a strong body? What are you talking about?"

Di Zhen frowned and stepped forward to question.

"I'm sorry, the cattle and sheep we're talking about are very strong, and we want to buy them for 20,000 or 30,000."

Jiang Zuo quickly explained.

"Bullshit, I clearly heard someone talking about laborers and grassland people."

Di Zhen was quite serious and was determined to explain it clearly to Jiang Zuo.

"You heard wrong, you heard wrong. We didn't say we want to capture the Mobei people and take slaves away from them..."

Jiang Zuo said this and walked away quickly.

Di Zhen was immediately furious and cursed: "You Yan thief, believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"

Jiang Zuo nodded and said, "I believe it, I believe it. Goodbye."

After saying this, Jiang Zuo mounted his horse and left with his subordinates.

Di Zhen's eyes were fierce as he stared fiercely at Jiang Zuo's leaving figure.

"Could it be that this Yan thief is deliberately trying to sow discord among our Mobei tribe?"

Di Zhen quickly realized this.

"Five taels of silver for a laborer... Pah!"

Di Zhen spat and returned to the tent.

The peace talks broke down, but Jiangzuo did not gain nothing.

Not long after, a piece of news suddenly spread across the grassland.

"As long as you capture a slave and sell it to Anding County, you can get five taels of silver and a large amount of supplies..."

Jiang Zuo and his group left the Northern Barbarians' camp and headed south back to Anding County.

"Sir, we have come here for nothing."

On the way, Yang Feng said to Jiang Zuo.

"It wasn't a wasted trip." Jiang Zuo said, "At least we know what the internal structure of the Mobei people is like. I know clearly which people can be trusted and which ones can be cooperated with."

Yang Feng also nodded and said, "Sir, Solu's character seems okay, you can consider cooperating with him."

"Solu is not a good person either."

Jiang Zuo shook his head.

Yang Feng asked in confusion: "Why do you say that, sir?"

When facing the dozen or so tribal leaders just now, Solu's attitude towards the Yan people was obviously the best.

Jiang Zuo asked back, "Do you still remember what happened in Rongtou Town three years ago?"

Yang Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly he was startled and said, "Are you talking about the massacre in Rongtou Town three years ago?"

Jiang Zuo looked solemn and nodded.

"Does this matter have anything to do with Solu?" Yang Feng didn't quite understand.

Jiang Zuo said: "That time, it was Suolu who led his troops to plunder that town, killing thousands of people and even abducting hundreds of women and children."

"This group of northern barbarians really deserves death!"

Yang Feng suddenly felt angry.

"He is cooperating with us now, just to buy time."

Jiang Zuo knew very well what these northern barbarians were thinking.

"Then why did you agree to the request of these guys?"

Yang Feng was quite confused, thinking, isn't this just raising a tiger to cause trouble?

"You don't think I really want to negotiate with them, do you?"

Jiang Zuo said calmly.

"Isn't it? My Lord should give Sol a lot of supplies."

Yang Feng was puzzled.

"No rush, just give them a little sweetness first."

Jiang Zuo gave a meaningful smile, then spurred his horse and galloped across the grassland.

The setting sun shines on the vast wilderness.

Anding County.

The county magistrate's residence.

At this moment, Chen Qingyun was extremely anxious. He kept wandering in front of the door of the mansion, waiting from noon to dusk, but still did not see Jiang Zuo returning.

"Nothing can happen to Jiang Zuo..."

She was extremely worried and blamed Jiang Zuo for being reckless and for daring to bring such a small number of people to negotiate with the people of Mobei.

Jiang Zuo is really crazy!

Is this grassland so far away?

After waiting for another half a minute, Chen Qingyun finally heard the sound of horse hooves.

It was Jiang Zuo riding a horse, coming towards the mansion.

Chen Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but did not go forward to greet Jiang Zuo. He just pretended that he had just returned to the mansion and opened the door.

"Si Yue."

Jiang Zuo called her.

"you are back."

Chen Qingyun put away his previous nervousness and became very calm at this moment.

"Yes, I just came back from the grassland."

Jiang Zuo nodded, then got off the horse and was led away by the servant.

"How are the peace talks going?"

Chen Qingyun is very concerned.

If Dayan really doesn't have to worry about this cold winter, the imperial court can also save a lot of military expenses.

"It's going very smoothly. More than half of these Mobei tribes still don't agree to negotiate."

Jiang Zuo said calmly.

Chen Qingyun couldn't understand this sentence, so he asked, "Disagree? What do you mean by very smooth?"

"What we want is for them to disagree."

Jiang Zuo said.

"What does this mean?"

Chen Qingyun couldn't understand for a moment.

Jiang Zuo explained, "When I went to the grassland today, I found out the relationship between these tribal leaders. As long as I lay out a plan, they will definitely fight among themselves."

"It took you half a day, and you just figured this out?"

Chen Qingyun couldn't help but wonder whether Jiang Zuo's trick would work...
