Chapter 529: Hush Money


On the morning of the seventh day of September, Zhao Ziliang led his army to Tuozhe City.

When they arrived at the gate of the north city, Wei Meng, Mohe Chu Tutun, and the civil servants and generals of the Shi Kingdom came to greet them.

Zhao Ziliang stopped his horse and saw soldiers from the Tang Army and the Shi Army carrying corpses in strange clothes to bury them outside the city from time to time.

He couldn't help but wonder.

Said: "What's going on?

Those corpses don't seem to be cannibals?"

"Ahem!"

Wei Meng covered his mouth and coughed twice, then stepped forward and whispered: "General, those are the bodies of horse bandits and robbers."

Zhao Ziliang felt relieved after hearing this, nodded, and asked Mo Hechu Tutun: "Have our accommodation been properly arranged?"

Mohechu Tutun quickly saluted and said: "General, the residence has been arranged.

The general and the leaders can move in now."

Zhao Ziliang turned around and raised his hands and shouted: "King Shunyi has prepared a place for us.

The army is looking for a place to station outside the city.

The leaders of each department only brought their own soldiers to escort them into the city to rest."

After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, the leaders of various ministries arranged for their trusted generals to lead the army to find a place to station outside the city.

They themselves entered Tuozhe City with Zhao Ziliang with their personal guards.

The Tang army was led by the marching Sima Chen Qing.

Responsible for overall management of camping, defense, patrol and other matters.

Mohechu Tutun was quite sensible.

He gave up his palace for Zhao Ziliang to rest.

In fact, his palace is now empty.

The only decorations were brought in from captured materials, and the palace maids were even more beautiful.

There was no one, and the ones who came to serve were some rough-and-tumble village girls and women.

After repelling the waiters, Zhao Ziliang picked up the tea cup and looked at Wei Meng while drinking tea without saying a word.

Wei Meng felt uncomfortable looking at him, and with a thought in his heart, he knew the meaning in Zhao Ziliang's eyes, and said quickly: "The last general is about to report to the general that the cannibals invaded the Tocharo and Zhaowu kingdoms and then captured them.

A lot of property, these properties are basically hoarded in Tuozhe City.

After Tuozhe City was raided by us, these properties also came into our hands.

According to our agreement with the leaders of the horse bandits, after the city was broken, All the property and supplies captured by the Great Eaters must belong to them, but the amount of property is too large and unimaginable.

King Shunyi is not willing to give them all the property, and if they get this property After that, he could quickly recruit troops and buy horses, and his strength increased greatly.

King Shunyi was worried that his rule would be challenged by them, so he promised the last general 20% of the benefits and asked the last general to help him deal with the horse bandits."

Zhao Ziliang looked calm, took a sip of tea and said: "If the horse bandits get this property and use it to recruit troops, their strength will threaten the rule of King Shunyi.

This shows that the amount of this property is indeed not small.

How much is it?"

Wei Meng shook his head and said: "The general has seen it with his own eyes.

The specific number cannot be estimated, but the general is sure that if this property is used to build 30,000 cavalry, there will be no need to worry about military expenditures within ten years."

The teacup in Zhao Ziliang's hand trembled, and the tea spilled out.

He laughed and said: "It's true that wealth touches people's hearts.

Does he think he can swallow such a huge sum of money alone?"

Wei Meng cupped his hands and said: "So I suggested that he leave this property to the general for disposal, and send some of the chiefs back to prevent them from being instigated and causing more trouble.

King Shunyi may come over later to report this matter to the general." .

Zhao Ziliang looked up at Wei Meng: "How much did you take?"

Wei Meng immediately bowed down and said: "General, it is clear that I have not taken any money from you.

I feel that if the general is disposing of this property, he will naturally be indispensable.

Why should I be a villain in vain?"

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Wei Meng and said with a smile: "You seem to be honest and honest, but in fact you are as careful as your hair.

However, you must remember not to be too smart, otherwise you will only harm yourself."

"Yes, the general's teachings will always be remembered in his heart."

Sure enough, not long after, Mo Hechu Tutun came over to say hello.

Zhao Ziliang asked someone to bring him a stool and asked him to sit down.

After he sat down, he said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the little king has something to report to the general.

Please let the general make the decision."

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand: "Given the relationship between you and me, if there is anything you can tell us directly."

"That's okay."

Mo Hechu Tutun nodded, immediately told the story about the property, and asked Zhao Ziliang to dispose of the property.

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "King Shunyi, with such a large amount of property, have you ever thought about hiding it?

In this way, the strength of your Stone Kingdom will be doubled."

Mohechu Tutun smiled bitterly and said: "General, greed is human nature.

Who doesn't have it?

But Xiao Wang knows that if I swallow this batch of property, as long as the news is leaked, I, Mohechu Tutun, will definitely not survive for a long time."

God, my wife, sons and daughters will also be killed to death.

As long as people are alive, they can find ways to make money, but if people die, no matter how much money they have, others will take it away.

For such a batch of property, Xiao Wang is not that stupid to be killed."

Zhao Ziliang applauded and said: "King Shunyi can maintain such a clear mind in front of such a large amount of property.

He is really not an ordinary person.

I admire him.

Since King Shunyi has decided to leave this matter to this general, I will take it for you."

In addition to you, Shi Guo, who is participating in this battle for this hot yam, there are also King Asilan of Bukhanna, as well as the leaders of the ten tribes of the Western Turks and the leader of the Geluolu tribe, Qu Tu.

How do you think this batch of property should be distributed?

" Mo Hechu complained: "General, since Xiao Wang has left this matter to the general, wouldn't it be a good idea to express his opinion on this matter?"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I have the right to handle it.

I just let you put forward your ideas and opinions.

I don't mean that the distribution will be based on your ideas."

"If the general says so, Xiao Wang can just say what he thinks."

Mohe Chututun said, stroking his beard, thinking for a moment and said: "General, if you want to follow the principle of fairness, the best way is of course Evenly divided, but if it is divided like this, many tribal leaders will definitely not agree, because they are In this battle, the greater the effort, the greater the loss, but some tribes have less effort and less loss.

However, if it is not divided equally, the people who receive less will definitely quit.

This is another trouble.

But to be honest, if such a large amount of property is used scatteredly, The effect is not big, but if it can be used concentratedly, the effect will be unimaginable."

"Old fox," Zhao Ziliang cursed in his conscience.

Mohechu Tuton said a lot, but there was no specific distribution plan.

However, his last few words made Zhao Ziliang hear it in his heart.

The centralized use of a large amount of property can play a big role, but the dispersed use will be much smaller.

This is the same as the reason why later consortiums can get the maximum benefit by holding most of the money in their hands for investment, but if the money is used Distributing it to the common people will basically have no effect and they will soon spend it all.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Mo Hechu: "King Shunyi, I'll give you 10%.

Shut your mouth."

Mohechu Tutun had no intention of getting a part of it.

The Tang army and other tribal armies were helping him fight the war.

How could he be qualified to share the spoils?

Now he can actually get 10% of the spoils.

Of course Mohechu Tutun was overjoyed, but he knew This was hush money, so he quickly agreed: "Deal" Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "If the news leaks out from you, you will know the consequences."

Mo Hechu Tutun said quickly: "I understand, I understand."

After resting for a day in Tuozhe City, on the afternoon of the eighth day of September, Zhao Ziliang sent people to summon the leaders of various ministries to discuss matters at the palace of the King of Shi Kingdom.

Among these leaders, only Mohechu Tutun and Asillan have their own palaces.

However, the palace of Mohechu Tutun is more luxurious than the palace of Asillan, so these leaders are very excited after entering the palace.

They were quite curious and looked around as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

After all the leaders came to the palace hall happily, Zhao Ziliang came over and said: "Chiefs, I have called you here today because I have two things to discuss with you: The first thing is that I, the general, will lead his troops to the Zhaowu Kingdom.

Together with Tocharo, on the one hand, we will attack the remaining forces of the Great Food Army in that area, and on the other hand, we will promote the power of the Tang Dynasty to the Zhaowu Kingdoms and Tocharo.

Therefore, I hope that you will lead your troops and accompany me.

The second thing is, this war, I We have captured a lot, including gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, armor, bows and arrows, as well as grain and grass supplies.

My general has long said that as long as you follow me to send troops, as long as there are seizures, the spoils can be distributed.

Now is the time for my general to fulfill his promise.

However, the loot we captured has not yet been calculated to a specific number, so we can only temporarily formulate a distribution plan.

After the statistical results are available, we will distribute them to you according to the plan.

Can you trust me, Mr.

Zhao?"

The last time he attacked the powerful troops, Zhao Ziliang's distribution plan was very fair.

All the tribes who sent troops together received a lot of benefits.

Therefore, the leaders of these tribes all said: "The general is a fair and honest man.

We are convinced."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, in that case, let's distribute the spoils according to the number of troops sent, the amount of credit, and the losses.

What do you think of this distribution plan?"

The leaders looked at each other and nodded: "Agree."

"In that case, you all have no other opinions.

I would like to ask one more question.

Among the spoils this time, there are gold and silver jewelry, weapons, armor, bows and arrows, grain, grass and other supplies.

If you only want gold and silver, it is very simple.

The spoils of war can be converted into gold and silver.

If you choose food, that’s fine too.

I can purchase food and grass from King Shunyi and the Zhaowu Kingdom and distribute it to you.

I don’t know what your choice is.”

It is already September, already late autumn, and winter will soon enter.

The winter on the northern grasslands is very cold.

After the heavy snow cover, there is a lack of food and grass.

Not only people are not full, but livestock are also seriously short of fodder.

Thinking of this problem, the leaders of each department said that they only wanted food and grass.

In addition to food and grass, several leaders also asked for some bows, arrows and armor
