At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Half an hour later, the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Xia Yun completely left the capital.

In particular, the hundreds of chariots led by Xia Yun and Qin Tianye personally entered the Zhili area directly in one breath.

The distance from the capital to Shuoxi is about a thousand kilometers.

According to Xia Yun's estimation, if hundreds of thousands of troops wanted to reach Shuoxi, it would take at least ten days.

They could travel one hundred kilometers a day, even though Xia Yun's troops were equipped with hundreds of tanks.

At this moment, in the chariot that Xia Yun was riding, in addition to the driver and the pilot, there was also a woman.

This woman was no one else but Tuoba Weiwei, whom Xia Yun had captured in Fenglai Pavilion that day!

So many days have passed, and Tuoba Weiwei has been kept in Xia Mansion by Xia Yun. This time when he led the army to Shuoxi, he also took her with him.

Xia Yun has always wanted to find out what Tuoba Weiwei's identity is in the Tuoba clan.

According to his guess, Tuoba Weiwei might be the daughter of the Tuoba tribe leader.

But Tuoba Weiwei remained silent on this question from beginning to end, even though he answered other questions in detail.

This was also the first time that Xia Yun felt wary of a woman since he came to this world.

Tuoba Weiwei arrived in the capital with only a few followers. With his social skills, he actually made a group of princes and nobles fall under his spell.

If someone else were to use such a method, not only would they not be able to do it, they probably wouldn't even dare to think about it!

"Master Xia, you are taking so many people to Shuoxi. Are you planning to fight from Shuoxi to Mobei?"

Tuoba Weiwei suddenly asked in the car.

When she first saw Xia Yun's troops and the hundreds of tanks, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

But this is also what makes Tuoba Weiwei different from ordinary people.

Her apparent shock lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and then she accepted it all calmly.

Sitting in the car, Tuoba Weiwei imitated Xia Yun's posture, as if she had done this kind of chariot countless times.

"What? Can't it?"

Xia Yun raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"There is a large wasteland between the Hexi Corridor and the Mobei region. If Lord Xia leads hundreds of thousands of troops to the north from Shuoxi, it may not be a good choice."

Tuoba Weiwei shook her head.

In front of Xia Yun, she did not pretend to be a naive person, because that was only used to deal with those ignorant young men in the capital.

This won't work for someone like Xia Yun.

"You are very knowledgeable about the art of war."

Xia Yun still did not give a direct answer, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes when he looked at Tuoba Weiwei.

"Master Xia, you are joking. I grew up in the Tuoba tribe. If I didn't understand these things, I would have died somewhere long ago."

Tuoba Weiwei smiled.

"The barbarian troops in the Hexi Corridor suddenly increased to 300,000. Do you know why?"

Xia Yun then changed the subject and asked the reason why the barbarian troops suddenly recruited soldiers.

Perhaps only Tuoba Weiwei knows the answer to this question.

As expected, Tuoba Weiwei was stunned at first when she heard this, but soon a look of relief appeared on her face.

"Have you ever been to Mobei, sir?"

Tuoba Weiwei asked with a smile.

"Never been there."

Xia Yun shook his head.

"The Mobei area is as large as the Central Plains. There are at least 800 barbarian tribes living there, if not 1,000. Both men and women ride horses to fight and dismount to herd livestock. It is not surprising to have an additional 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers."

Tuoba Weiwei explained.

“However, judging from the situation, the reason why the various barbarian tribes are fighting so hard is probably because the Dune Dynasty has promised to stop at the critical moment.”

When it comes to this, a very rare solemn look appeared on Tuoba Weiwei's face.

Xia Yun noticed the change in Tuoba Weiwei's expression.

It is obvious that Tuoba Weiwei is very wary of the Dune Kingdom in the far north.

He immediately ended the topic and asked another question.

"When will the Tuoba envoy reply?"

"Maybe a month, maybe two months."

Tuoba Weiwei shook her head.

The Tuoba tribe is located deep in the northern desert. Even under normal circumstances, it would take at least a month to reach the capital from northern desert.

Now that the war in the northern border has begun, there are countless variables added along the way, so Tuoba Weiwei cannot guarantee when she will receive a reply.

Before this, when she was still in the capital, she had already sent out her guards, with Xia Yun's willingness to form an alliance, and embarked on the road of returning to the Tuoba tribe.

"After the alliance, if I want the Tuoba tribe to formally declare war on the barbarians, will the Tuoba tribe agree?"

Xia Yun suddenly asked again.

In his opinion, the Tuoba tribe and other tribes are both barbarians, so there may be a certain degree of fraternity among them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, a silver bell-like laugh came out of Tuoba Weiwei's mouth.

"The Tuoba people have a proverb."

"With enough cattle and sheep, and enough money, there is nothing that cannot be done."

Tuoba Weiwei smiled.

The Tuoba tribe was a barbarian race that lived on the edge of a knife. In fact, the people they killed the most were the barbarians, not the people of the Central Plains dynasty.

"How many do you want?"

Xia Yun understood the proverb that Tuoba Weiwei said.

After all, as long as the money is enough, it is not impossible to let them directly enter the Dune Dynasty!

"Hehe, I know that Lord Xia Yun has plenty of money. Just sprinkle some water on him and it will be enough for our entire clan to survive."

Tuoba Weiwei chuckled.

During the time she was under house arrest in the Xia Mansion, she also indirectly understood one thing.

Apart from the empress, in the entire Daliang Dynasty, the most powerful minister is not necessarily Xia Yun, and the richest person is not necessarily Xia Yun.

But the most powerful and wealthy person must be Xia Yun!

The bustle of the Xia Mansion on weekdays with people coming and going was beyond his imagination.

Those who were once considered very prominent by some young masters, once they entered the Xia Mansion, all behaved very respectfully and humbly.

When seeing Xia Yun, the first and second rank ministers in the court did not dare to show the slightest arrogance.

Even Qin Shun, the steward of the Xia Mansion, was an object that almost all the wealthy businessmen in the capital tried their best to curry favor with.

There were a few opportunities when he had seen Qin Shun negotiating business with others. Once Qin Shun opened his mouth, the amount he would mention would often be tens or even millions of taels of silver.

This made her, who had lived in Tuoba since childhood, even begin to doubt the reality of this world.

"Haha, you are a smart woman."

Xia Yun laughed.

Tuoba Weiwei's approach of not directly bidding is actually the most expensive!

But he didn't care about it.

Money can be made at any time. As long as he can win the war smoothly, he doesn't care how much money he spends!
