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

The next day.

As soon as Jiang Zuo arrived at the government office, he heard Yang Feng report: "Sir, Suolu wants to see you. He also brought a cart of supplies, which may be the sulfur we want."

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Zuo hurried to greet him in person.

When they arrived at the city gate, Suolu was accompanied by dozens of followers, pulling several carts of stones, and was being inspected by the guards of Anding County.

Because Jiang Zuo had given instructions before, the officers and soldiers of Anding County were also very polite to Suo Lu.

"Jiang Zuo, this is what you want."

Solu stepped forward and showed Jiang Zuo the supplies in the carriage.

Jiang Zuo went forward to check and found that it was indeed sulfur ore.

Now Anding County is running out of gunpowder, and production must be accelerated.

"Okay, thank you Brother Solu, come here, weigh and pay."

Jiang Zuo was quite straightforward. In less than a moment, he had settled the gold and silver bills with Suolu, as well as some food and supplies, including a cartload of salt, which Suolu needed most.

Suo Lu wanted to say thank you, but after all, he was the Khan of the Karen tribe in Mobei, so he took back those sincere words and just said: "Jiang Zuo, our Karen tribe's cooperation with you does not mean permanent peace between the two sides."

"Of course I know that." Jiang Zuo knew it very well, and then asked: "I don't know about that matter, what do you think about it?"

"what's up?"

Solu didn't understand.

Jiang Zuo whispered, "Help me capture some laborers from the grassland. We are short of laborers in Anding County right now. You just need to capture warriors from their tribe. After all, these warriors are strong and healthy, and they are perfect for mining. Five taels of silver for one strong man? You can buy a lot of supplies..."

"Shut up! You have repeatedly asked me to help you capture slaves, but I absolutely do not agree."

Solu is quite righteous and is unwilling to do anything to harm the tribe.

"Although you think so, some tribes in Mobei don't think so. Perhaps some of them have already started to take action."

Jiang Zuo said.

"What do you mean?"

Solu was suddenly shocked.

Jiang Zuo said: "I have also said these words to other tribal leaders, and some of them have already agreed..."

"mean!"

Suolu cursed loudly, then jumped on his horse and led his people back to the grassland.

Returning with Solu were several carts of supplies, money and silver.

At this moment, Solu was quite worried, fearing that other tribes would fall into Jiang Zuo's trap.

Halfway through the journey, Solu's team had just returned to the grassland.

At this time, the masked cavalry suddenly rushed towards Solu.

"Khan, be careful!"

Solu's subordinates quickly reminded.

At this time, there were less than a hundred people around Solu, while the other side's cavalry had at least five hundred people.

"Draw your swords! Blow the horn!"

Solu ordered loudly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horn sounded.

Solu had already arranged for warriors from other tribes to provide secret protection around them.

How could he transport such important materials and money with only a few dozen people?

A moment later, a battle broke out between the two sides on the grassland.

Solu led the way and rode his horse towards the group of masked cavalrymen.

After fighting for a while, the number of enemy troops increased.

Moreover, it was obvious that this group of people were targeting Solu's supplies.

"Khan! Their troops are increasing in number, should we retreat?"

The subordinate asked anxiously.

At this time, Solu was already blood-thirsty and ignored his subordinates' words.

At this moment, one of the teams of masked cavalry rushed directly towards the cart of gold and silver and killed the Karen warriors who were responsible for escorting the gold and silver.

After several battles, the thieves stole three carts of gold, silver and supplies, then fled the grassland and headed north.

"Chase! Chase for Ben Khan!"

Solu was furious at the moment and shouted the order.

Even though he was stabbed, he still rode forward.

His subordinates quickly stopped him and said, "Khan, you are injured, don't take any risks."

Only then did Solu realize that his troops had also suffered many casualties, and he was afraid that if he pursued them rashly, he would fall into the enemy's trap.

"Where on earth did these thieves come from?!"

Solu said angrily.

It was always his Karen tribe that robbed other people's things, so he had never suffered such hardship.

"Great Khan, this person seems to be from the western part of the sea!"

At this time, suddenly one of his subordinates shouted.

"Haixin? Di Zhen!"

Solu was immediately furious.

After getting off the horse, I saw that the clothes worn by these thieves did have the characteristics of the western part of the sea.

He really didn't expect that Di Zhen would actually take action against the people of Mobei.

This cold winter hasn't even passed yet, and the people in Mobei have already started to fight among themselves!

Suolu doesn't want to kill each other, but now it was Di Zhen who started it first, so he must take revenge no matter what!

"Damn it! How dare you use dirty tricks! Go back and gather the troops!"

Solu rode back to the Karen tribe and gathered the remaining elite troops in the tribe, determined to teach Haixi a lesson.

In the previous battle at Black Waterway, he lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and the Karen tribe was just a small tribe. He gathered 3,000 elite soldiers from all over and marched aggressively towards the territory in the western part of the sea.

At this moment, Di Zhen, the leader of Haixi, seemed unaware of the coming danger.

Di Zhenzhen lay in the tent, closed his eyes and rested.

After a while, there were suddenly bursts of rapid horse hooves sounds, followed by the sounds of fierce fighting.

"what happens?"

Di Zhen suddenly woke up.

At this time, the subordinates came to report: "Report to the Khan, it is Suolu from the Karen tribe, he brought his troops to cause trouble!"

Before the soldier could report, another man came in and said in a panic, "Great Khan, the Karen tribe has kidnapped hundreds of us!"

Di Zhen immediately drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Damn it! Solu is so bold!"

"Gather the troops for this Khan and fight back!"

Outside the tent, the fighting had already begun.

Because Solu took the initiative, he led his men to kidnap hundreds of people from the western part of the sea.

At this moment, he still led his troops personally and confronted Haixi.

After fighting for a while, both sides seemed to have suffered heavy casualties, and they retreated to both sides.

"Di Zhen, I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to rob my supplies?"

Suolu rode his horse up to his tribe and questioned them sternly.

"Rob your supplies? Haha, you colluded with the Yan people and obtained the supplies by selling out our Mobei people?"

Di Zhen did not deny it, but instead questioned Suolu's loyalty to Mobei.

"You, Suo Lu Mo, have already surrendered to the Yan thief, and you dare to lead troops to attack my western part of the sea!"

Di Zhen was also furious at this moment.

"It's ridiculous that I betrayed the people of Mobei. I never offended you, but you attacked me first, and now you want to bite me back. If I don't destroy your Haixi region today, I will never be able to calm my anger!"

Solu spoke firmly.

Listening to Suolu's words, Di Zhen was even more disdainful and said, "Brothers, whoever can kill Suolu will be rewarded with 500 households and 1,000 cattle and sheep!"

Suo Lu was not willing to be outdone and also ordered: "Kill Di Zhen!"

An internal war on the grassland seems to be inevitable...
