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

As for the official title and rank, it was not something Xia Yun was concerned about at all.

So what if he was a seventh-rank county magistrate? When he was an official in Dai County, he was also only a seventh-rank county magistrate. He still served as a prefect and governor in Hangzhou!

As long as you have enough ability, qualifications are not necessary at all.

"Also, I have something for you to do. After the army leaves, I will leave an exploration team in Gansu. You need to fully cooperate with the exploration team and ensure their safety in Gansu. Do you understand?"

Xia Yun continued to instruct.

Finding energy and mineral deposits is one of the things he is most concerned about now.

As long as there is enough energy and minerals, he can continue to advance the modernization of the army.

In his conception, when development reaches a certain stage, all the troops under his command must be modernized, and automatic rifles and new tanks are only the most basic equipment.

As for the cold weapon combat method, it is a product of the old era that must be eliminated!

"Don't worry, Marshal. I will fully support the exploration team's work in Gansu. No matter what you need, as long as you give me an order, I will do my best to help you!"

In front of everyone, Zhao Wuji once again expressed his loyalty.

There is no doubt that he has now made up his mind to serve under Xia Yun.

Without Xia Yun's trust and promotion, he would never have come this far!

Perhaps as early as when Pei Xingyuan led an army of 50,000 to attack Shuodong City, he would have become a pile of bones in this vast wilderness!

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The celebration banquet is still going on.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had won a great victory could not hide their excitement, and the dinner was filled with all kinds of noise.

However, Xia Yun left the banquet before the celebration banquet was over.

At the same time, Xia Yun also had someone prepare a table of good wine and food, and left with him.

After a while, Xia Yun brought good wine and food to the backyard of the county government office, outside a heavily guarded door.

Gently pushing open the door, the lights inside the house flickered, and a woman dressed in barbarian clothes was sitting on a chair, staring straight at Xia Yun who had just entered the room.

"I heard that you won a great victory. I'm surprised you still thought of me."

As soon as the two met, a resentful voice came out of Tuoba Weiwei's mouth.

Previously, when Xia Yun led his army on an expedition to the west, he took her away from the capital.

After arriving in Shuodong, Xia Yun left her in Shuodong City and let Zhao Wuji take care of her.

After that, Xia Yun led the army all the way to the west, and Tuoba Weiwei stayed in Shuodong City.

It was not until the army returned triumphantly that the two finally had the chance to meet.

Listening to Tuoba Weiwei's complaints, Xia Yun smiled slightly, did not answer, and then signaled the guards behind him to bring the food.

When the exquisite delicacies were served on the table, Tuoba Weiwei, who had been hungry for a long time, didn't care about her appearance and immediately wolfed down the meat and wine.

Apparently, Zhao Wuji was busy preparing a celebratory banquet for the victorious army, so he neglected Tuoba Weiwei's meal tonight.

"I heard that you, sir, wiped out 400,000 barbarian troops. Is this true?"

While Tuoba Weiwei was wolfing down the food, she was mumbling something.

"real."

Xia Yun admitted it directly without any concealment.

Tuoba Weiwei was stunned when she heard that, and even her hand that was eating stopped in mid-air unconsciously.

Then, Tuoba Weiwei's face revealed a rather complicated expression, which made people unable to tell whether she was happy or sad.

"After such a long time, the reply from the Tuoba tribe should have reached you by now."

After the atmosphere in the room was silent for dozens of breaths, Xia Yun spoke first and extended his right hand towards Tuoba Weiwei.

Tuoba Weiwei was a little surprised to see this. She didn't expect Xia Yun to be so cunning. But she still took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Xia Yun personally.

"The clan leader has agreed to cooperate, but we, the Tuoba clan, have two conditions."

"The first condition is that Daliang must guarantee the safety of our Tuoba tribe after the war. We want to have our own territory on the grassland, and Daliang must not abandon us."

"The second condition is that the Tuoba tribe can cooperate with the Daliang army's military operations, but you must pay enough silver, Marshal."

While Xia Yun was reading the contents of the letter, Tuoba Weiwei directly told him the main points of the letter.

After dozens of breaths had passed, Xia Yun read the contents of the letter with his own eyes, and then placed the letter directly on the flame of the lampstand and burned it.

"I can agree to your conditions."

After sitting down again, Xia Yun directly agreed to the Tuoba tribe's request.

No matter how you look at it, the Tuoba clan's demands are very reasonable.

Then, Xia Yun took out a silver note from his pocket and placed it directly in front of Tuoba Weiwei.

When Tuoba Weiwei saw the number on the banknote, the complicated expression on her face disappeared instantly.

Instead, there was a look of joy.

Because the number on the silver note was actually one million taels!

"This one million taels of silver is my gift to the daughter of the Tuoba clan leader."

With a smile on his face, Xia Yun pointed out the other party's true identity in front of Tuoba Weiwei.

In fact, he had already guessed about Tuoba Weiwei's identity.

Previously, during the battle of Shuoxi City, in order to verify Tuoba Weiwei's identity, he secretly asked Qin Tianye to capture a number of barbarian prisoners. Eventually, he learned a piece of news from those prisoners.

The Tuoba tribe is also a northern barbarian tribe. Its chief has a daughter named Tuoba Weiwei!

"I did not mean to deceive you, Marshal. Please forgive me."

Seeing that Xia Yun had discovered her identity, Tuoba Weiwei no longer concealed it.

He immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Xia Yun to apologize.

"No need to be polite in front of me, just follow the rules of your Tuoba tribe."

Xia Yun laughed.

"I wonder what instructions the Marshal will give us next that will require our Tuoba tribe to complete."

Tuoba Weiwei sat down again, carefully put away the one million taels of silver, and stopped wolfing down the food. Her eyes were fixed on Xia Yun.

There is no free lunch in this world.

Of course, the one million taels of silver notes that Xia Yun gave could not be just a gift for meeting as he said.

"I need all the information on the Mobei grassland right now! Including all the barbarian troops that can be mobilized, and the barbarian's next offensive plan."

Xia Yun stated his request directly.

Having paid one million taels of silver, the car must be worth the money.

"no problem."

To Xia Yun's surprise, Tuoba Weiwei directly agreed to Xia Yun's request.

The scene that followed made Xia Yun feel the Tuoba tribe's sincerity towards this cooperation.
