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

Following Solu's order, thousands of Karen warriors rushed towards the Haixi West camp with great momentum.

Di Zhen was not willing to be outdone, and personally led his subordinates to fight.

The two sides fought for several rounds, but still the winner was not determined.

"Great Khan, look, those are our supplies!"

Suddenly, Solu's men shouted loudly.

Solu killed one man and then looked in the direction of the sound.

Those trucks of supplies were apparently what they exchanged from Anding County.

"This Di Zhen is really shameless! If you are ruthless first, don't worry about my disloyalty!"

Solu was furious, and the saber in his hand was even more majestic, and he became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

As a newly-appointed Khan, he relied on his fearless courage.

For a time, the Karen tribe was defeated in the western part of Haixi.

"Khan, please retreat first. Our reinforcements from the western part of the sea will arrive soon."

Someone said to Di Zhen.

Di Zhen naturally knew his disadvantage at the moment, so he quickly rode away on his horse to avoid the enemy's attack.

"Let Ben Khan chase them all!"

Theulu moved forward.

His subordinates quickly dissuaded him, "Wait a minute, Khan! Their reinforcements are on the way. Why don't we take those prisoners and supplies away first to avoid falling into their trap again!"

Solu killed a few more enemies and finally calmed down. Seeing the Haixi people scattering like birds and beasts, he did not rush to pursue them. Instead, he turned around and ordered: "Take the supplies and prisoners and retreat!"

Although the Karen tribe was slightly outnumbered, their morale was high and they actually defeated the Haixi tribe.

At this stop, Solu not only took back his own supplies, but also captured more than 700 warriors from the western part of the sea, including some younger teenagers.

Solu was relatively merciful towards the teenagers. He gave them horses and let the tribal teenagers go back.

Looking at the group of captives from the Western Hai area, Suolu gritted his teeth and murmured, "Now the Karen tribe and the Western Hai area are already at loggerheads, so I won't be polite either. After all, it was Di Zhen who provoked the Khan first."

Solu already had an idea in his mind.

Since Jiangzuo wants slaves, the captives from Haixi are the best slaves.

Thinking of that time, Suolu ordered his subordinates to always guard against sneak attacks from the western part of the sea, and then sent an envoy to Anding County.

At this time, Anding County has regained its former vitality.

Merchants from all over the country gathered in Anding County, waiting for tomorrow's commodity exhibition.

These businessmen all know that the products of Anding County are quite famous. Apart from being a little expensive, they have no disadvantages at all.

Jiang Zuo was also preparing for the exhibition when he suddenly heard Yang Feng coming to report: "Sir, the envoy of the Karen tribe is here to see you."

"Oh? Have they figured it out?"

Jiang Zuo went to meet the envoy of the Karen tribe with some doubts.

The messenger got straight to the point and said, "We, the Karen tribe, have just captured several hundred prisoners. You said earlier that each prisoner was worth five taels of silver. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true!"

Jiang Zuo was delighted when he heard this.

That Solu was so righteous before, but he didn't expect to take action so quickly. It was really beyond Jiang Zuo's expectations.

"You'd better keep your promise," said the messenger.

Jiang Zuo nodded: "Of course, I'll hand over the person and the money at the same time."

The messenger said: "Okay, you can bring people to our Karen tribe tomorrow."

Jiang Zuo shook his head: "No, I want you to bring the prisoners here in person. Don't worry, I will send people out of the city to meet you in advance. No Yan army will stop you."

The messenger looked a little worried: "How do I know if this is a trap?"

Jiang Zuo said: "What are you afraid of? Your Khan has come to Anding County so many times. If I wanted to harm your Khan, I would have already done it."

"Then I will go back and report to the Khan. Whether I come or not is up to the Khan to decide."

The messenger said this and turned away.

The next day.

Suolu personally led the troops and escorted hundreds of captives from the western part of the sea towards Anding County.

Jiang Zuo learned the news in advance and went out of the city to welcome him personally.

"Sulu Khan, how are you?"

Jiang Zuo stepped forward and bowed.

"No need to waste time, I've brought you the captive Khan, where are the supplies?"

Solu said calmly.

"The supplies are all here, let's go into the city first."

As Jiang Zuo spoke, he took a quick look and saw that all the captives were strong and healthy grassland people.

With some of these prisoners, the iron and salt mines in Anding County will not be short of labor.

All the hard work is left to this group of cheap labor.

Solu said coldly again: "Seven hundred and twenty-three prisoners, please settle the silver."

"No problem, this way please."

Jiang Zuo said.

The group slowly entered Anding County, attracting the attention of others.

"Sir, is it really appropriate for us to do this? It would be better to just kill these Mobei people..."

Yang Feng came to Jiang Zuo and whispered in his ear that, for him, he would rather kill all these evil northern barbarians than take them as prisoners.

"These northern barbarians have so much blood on their hands. It would be too easy to kill them. We must reform them through labor."

Jiang Zuo said with a serious face.

After locking up the captives, Jiang Zuo settled the bill with Suo Lu, and then said, "We just had a commodity exhibition in Anding County, and there are many good things for sale. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Solu thought for a moment, and adhering to the principle of "since I'm already here", he nodded and went forward.

At the exhibition, there were all kinds of goods from Anding County, including necessities such as grain, salt, tea, silk, cloth, glass, and even all kinds of things that Solu had never seen before.

Looking at the dazzling array of supplies, Solu, who was born in Mobei, was stunned.

Supplies are scarce in Mobei, so where can you find so many good things?

Now the Karen tribe is short of money and can only buy some food, salt and clothes for the winter.

Walking to an open space, Solu looked at the things on the long table and was immediately surprised: "There are weapons for sale here?!"

The weapons in this area were specially prepared in advance by Jiang Zuo.

Their current arsenal has a very high production capacity, and the weapons on the table are all old models left over from a few years ago.

At this time, Jiang Zuo also stepped forward and said, "Yes, anyone can buy these weapons."

"Sure?"

Solu expressed doubt.

"I heard that you are now at war with the Western Haixi region. How can you not buy some good weapons? A few days ago, the tribal leader of your Mobei region came to me and wanted to buy these weapons. What are you waiting for..."

Jiang Zuo encouraged from the side.

After hearing what Jiang Zuo said, Suo Lu was immediately excited. He picked up a crossbow he had never seen before and asked, "What is this?"

"Xiao Yang, come forward and show it to me."

Jiang Zuo turned around and gave instructions.

These are all old-style crossbows that cannot penetrate the newly made armor in Anding County. Even if they are sold to the grassland people, Jiangzuo is not worried that they will use these weapons to invade Dayan.

Jiang Zuo already had a special plan in mind...
