Nie Yi's face changed at that time."
The Dawan people are rich but weak, if the Huns really use the Dawan soldiers to attack the city, whether they can capture Suye City or not, their ferocity will definitely frighten the Dawan people, and the Dawan people are likely to collapse without a fight.At that time," Nie Yi gasped and didn't dare to say any more.Liang Xiao was also very uneasy.Nie Yi's worry was not groundless, he also rushed to discuss with Nie Yi because of this worry.Nie Yi thought for a long time, and then asked, "What can you do?"
"We have to find a way to make the Dawan people realize that if they can't attack those Dawan pawns, Suye City will fall into the hands of the Huns."
When the time comes, the jade will be burned, and it will be too late to regret it. ”"But how can we make them realize this?"
"I haven't thought of it yet. ”Liang Xiao hesitated.Perhaps, this is not something that can be clearly said in words, only bloody facts are convincing.However, I don't want to go to that point, and if I really get to that point, I'm afraid there will be no place to go back. ”Nie Yi nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "My lord, maybe we should prepare more." ”Liang Xiao was puzzled.Nie Yi looked at the guards under the corridor, his eyes flashing slightly."
My lord, the Han is more than 10,000 miles away from Suye City, and it has to pass through the territory of the Huns and Wusun people, and there are countless horse thieves and bandits, and it is very common to encounter robberies, so every time the merchant will hire some mercenaries as guards.There are many hooligans and scoundrels among these people, but in order to make a living, most of them have good martial arts.If you can organize them, it will be a big force. ”Liang Xiao was overjoyed: "How many people are there?"
"Three or five hundred people is not a problem. ”Nie Yi said: "But."
There are two things to work out.First, who paid these people to lick their blood at the head of the knife, for money, the commission is far more expensive than ordinary mercenaries, and now they are fighting viciously with the Huns, and they are dying.I'm afraid the price will be doubled.The second is whether the city guard can allow it, after all, three or five hundred people is not a small number, and all the soldiers in Suye City add up to just over a thousand. ”Liang Xiao understood.With the strength of three to five hundred people, it is enough to occupy a place in Suye City.It's impossible not to watch out for Creon, the defender of Suye City.In order to establish such a makeshift force, Creon must have the nod of Creon."
You estimate how much it will cost to recruit a person" "Less can not be less."
Seven or eight gold is required, and some masters may need more than ten gold. ”Liang Xiao frowned.Seven or eight gold for one person, two or three thousand gold for three hundred people, and four thousand gold for five hundred people, which is not a small amount.I'm afraid there aren't many people who can come up with so much cash at once.Nie Yi took out 10,000 gold last time, and he already needed to borrow from others.He thought about it and came up with a plan."
We might be able to."
Liang Xiao said: "You find a few friends to raise about a thousand gold as an advance, ask the city guard to allocate some, and finally use the loot to offset a part." ”Nie Yi smiled."
That's right, it's just that these have to be agreed by the city guard, and we are very willing to help."
Liang Xiao smiled.He understood what Nie Yi meant.Money wasn't an issue, and getting Creon to agree to form such a mercenary group wasn't the point.The key is that the businessmen who contribute to it must make a profit, and no one will contribute in vain.The mercenaries had to get a share of the spoils, and the merchants had to get enough of the benefits.The benefits aren't just about the money.They want more.However, he was confident that for Creon, as long as he could keep Suye City, these losses could withstand the god of loneliness for a thousand years.He was able to get to this point, which is also the result of the full support of all Han businessmen.It is also his duty to be able to fight for some benefits for Han merchants.Liang Xiao came to the city guard's mansion.Ask to see Creon and tell Creon what the scouts have just heard.Creon was shocked.Sweating coldly.The reason why he had the confidence to defend the city was that he recognized that the Huns were not good at attacking cities.There is a good chance of holding Suye City.If Wudan used Dawan infantry to attack the city, the result would be difficult to say.First, the Dawan infantry is good at attacking and defending the city, and the attack power is definitely stronger than that of the Huns.Second, the cannibalism of the Dawan people will also be a heavy blow to the morale of Suye City.When Creon was at a loss, Liang Xiao said Nie Yi's suggestion.Creon's brow furrowed when he heard this.He weighed it for a long time, stared at Liang Xiao and looked at it, and suddenly laughed."
Your Excellency, I can accept this suggestion, but I have two requests.""
Your Excellency, please speak.""
One.The businessman who contributed could only be a Han businessman, and it had to be a big businessman like Nie Yi.Second, these mercenaries are to be commanded by a true warrior. ”Creon looked at Liang Xiao intently."
Since the king trusts your envoy, I am willing to pin this trust on your envoy."
Liang Xiao thought about it and understood Creon's thoughts.Even if it's risky, he wants to keep it to a minimum.Nie Yi and other Han merchants had rich property in Suye City, and the Han and Xiongnu were mortal enemies, and the Han people were the least likely to collude with the Xiongnu.He is an envoy sent by the Great Han and has won the trust of the King of Dawan, and it is also his expectation to hold Suye City, and handing over the mercenaries to him can guarantee that he will not be perfunctory."
Since the adults trust me so much, then I might as well be respectful.""
There are noble envoys."
Creon smiled: "I hope that the flower of our friendship will be watered more vividly by the blood of the Huns." ”With Creon's permission, Liang Xiao immediately returned to Nie Yi's house.Nie Yi was very happy and invited a few Han businessmen who had a deep friendship to discuss together.Seeing Liang Xiao, they were all very excited and inquired about the meaning of the imperial court.Shinong industry and commerce, business is the end of the four people.The Qin and Han systems have always had a tradition of suppressing business.For example, merchants are not allowed to ride in cars, they are not allowed to wear silk clothes, they have to pay double their mouths, and so on.Although most of these rules have been broken, compared to the government, businessmen are still rich but not expensive, and their economic strength may not necessarily change to their lowly status.There is only one way to be secure: to be linked to power.To become a truly wealthy businessman, it is difficult to achieve without a power background.Without the support of nobles, even if it is a rich party, a county order may clean you up.The real wealthy businessmen are either powerful themselves, like Liu Ling.Either there is a powerful person behind it.Most of these people who went to the Western Regions to do business and seek wealth did not have a strong background, otherwise they would not have taken such a big risk, suffered so much, and went to Dawan, thousands of miles away, to do business.To put it mildly, it's a begging for money with your head tied to your belt.The imperial court intended to fight back against the Xiongnu.To open up this grassland trade route, of course, they can't ask for it.If they can climb to a certain power because of this, they are willing to pay any price.Don't look at Liang Xiao as just a Lang official, but he has such courage and ability at such a young age, and his future is promising.can climb up to friendship when he is not yet visible and has to ask for others.It's a godsend.The businessmen smelled Liang Xiao, talking and laughing, and were very enthusiastic.In the face of this group of businessmen who are desperate for the support of the government, Liang Xiao is very emotionally desolate.He thought about it for a long time and said very sincerely: "The heart of the Son of Heaven."
I don't dare to speculate.However, it is imperative to fight back against the Xiongnu, and the humiliation of Emperor Gao Bai Deng has been a piece so far, and there is no reason not to repay it.I was ordered to send an envoy in order to unite the Yueshi and Dawan and cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu.For your help today, I will go up to heaven to hear and ask for credit for you. ”Liang Xiao looked at everyone.He also said: "I am a martial artist, and I haven't read many books, but I know a truth: the duty of a martial artist is to protect the family and defend the country.You are all subjects of my great man.We have a responsibility to protect you.This time has been, and it will continue to be so.One day, our Han soldiers will run rampant in Mobei, and they will turn this 10,000-mile trade route into a thoroughfare.Please witness that the 100-year plan will start from this moment. ”At last.Liang Xiao promised again: "If I can hold Suye City this time, I will make a request to Creon and King Dawan as an envoy."
The Dahan Chamber of Commerce was established in Dawan to give special benefits to businessmen from Dahan.To repay your sacrifice today. ”The merchants looked at each other and were delighted.They have three hundred, and I have five hundred, and they quickly raised three thousand gold, far exceeding Liang Xiao's expectations.They split up to negotiate with mercenary groups who often do business.Nie Yi vacated his own compound for Liang Xiao's use.To be on the safe side, Creon sent a close confidant, Ampas, to assist Liang Xiao.Ampas was about fifty years old, of medium build, with a dark look in his eyes and a hint of suspicion.There were twenty warriors around him, all of them with fierce expressions, and they were rare warriors among the Dawan people.Ampas and Liang Xiao live together, but Ampas doesn't talk much, even if Liang Xiao takes the initiative to talk to him, he is dry and never says much.Tu Niu'er, Pang Shuo and others scoffed, but they didn't bother with him.The four Alpha were very annoyed, and asked to call the door several times to give them a little color, but they were stopped by Liang Xiao."
Save your effort.When the mercenaries come, you will have a chance to show your skills.The Huns arrived outside the city, the battle began, the hero was still a dog male, and when the time came, it would be clear that now the nest is horizontal, what's the use" Although Alpha and the others were not convinced, they did not dare to disobey Liang Xiao's order, but they just seized the time to prepare, sharpened the weapon to a cold light, wiped the armor and wiped it, and the Sigma even checked the arrows that Liang Xiao wanted to use one by one to ensure that it was correct.Soon a mercenary came to the door.These people come from all over the world, and their members are complex, including Han Chinese, Greeks, Cypriots, Yueshi people, and Xiongnu people.Most of them came from different teams, ranging in number, and the strong ones were thirty or fifty people, who were able to protect a caravan as far as the Great Han; There are only a few small people, and they can only take on some small businesses.At this moment, for the same task, gathered in front of Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao asked Nie Yi to come forward to arrange their food and lodging, but he never showed up.These people have no discipline at all, and some of them still have hatred for each other, and when they meet, they can't help but be a little red-eyed, and verbal disputes are inevitable, and in just half a day, there have been seven conflicts of varying degrees, resulting in casualties.Even so, Liang Xiao did not come forward, even if someone died, he did not say a word.The worry in Ampas's eyes grew deeper.A day later, a total of 431 mercenaries accepted the mercenary and came to Nie's house.The compound couldn't stay, so he could only set up a tent outside Nie's house.For a while, the Nie family became a small military camp.Knowing that all the hired mercenaries were in place, Liang Xiao sent Guo Wenbin to invite Ampas."
Please go with me to review the mercenaries."
