On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 488 Showing Wealth

In winter, the Monan grassland has a harsh climate and is full of wind and snow.

Thanks to Dahe Jinzhong as his guide, Cui Yanqing did not get lost in the vast white grassland.

"Mr. Boling, the Dahe tribe is ten miles ahead."

Dahe Jinzhong, who was leading the way, rode back and came to the carriage in front of him to remind him.

Cui Yanqing opened the curtains, and the cold wind took the opportunity to get in, making him shiver.

Cui Yanqing tightened the mink fur around his body, nodded and said:

"Congratulations to the general for your hard work along the way. When I return to Jinyang, I will definitely ask for credit for the general."

There was no peace along the way. Due to the previous competition between Dulan Khan and Qimin Khan for the position of Great Khan, a civil war broke out in the Eastern Turks, which also caused the Monan grassland to lose order.

Many soldiers who lost the battle and fled became horse bandits.

There are more than 10,000 iron men in Shuozhou, and there are wheat and iron staffs standing guard. The horse bandits are afraid of his name, so they naturally dare not invade.

But some small tribes on the grasslands are not so lucky.

Cui Che sent Dahe Jinzhong to accompany him with two thousand Khitan knights with silver saddles, not only to serve as guides for Cui Yanqing, but also to protect his safety.

There is also a hidden meaning, which is to allow this group of Khitan people to return to the tribe and show off the wealth they have earned through previous wars.

Of course, showing off is only secondary, the main purpose is to attract Khitan youth through this kind of behavior.

In the future, there will be vacancies in the Silver Saddle Khitan Army and the Pishi Army. If they go to the Eight Khitan Tribes to recruit people, those young people will naturally rush to participate and sign up enthusiastically.

Therefore, before the mission set off, Cui Che specially made an advance payment for next year's military pay for two thousand cavalrymen.

This move is also in line with their wishes.

As the saying goes, wealth that does not return home is like walking in brocade at night.

Even if you are not rich yet, you still need to dress well when you return to your hometown.

Even in later generations, there are still people who choose to rent a good car and go home to celebrate the New Year just for the sake of face.

These two thousand Khitan cavalrymen had already received large rewards in the battle in the desert, and now they had received military pay in advance. Although it was not as good as those wealthy families with millions of dollars, they still had a lot of money in their pockets.

They went on a shopping spree in Jinyang, and with the two thousand as the main force of consumption, prices in Jinyang soared at that time. Fortunately, Cui Che dealt with it in time, which at least stabilized the prices of food and cold-resistant commodities.

Logically speaking, two thousand silver-saddled Khitan guards would not even dare to take a look at the horse bandit.

But wealth is attractive to people, and so much wealth also blinded their eyes, driving the horse bandits to take risks.

He didn't dare to take action during the day, so he chose to harass him at night, waking Cui Yanqing from his deep sleep several times, making him tireless.

Fortunately, the negative impact caused by the harassment of these horse bandits was limited to this. After all, there were two thousand Khitan soldiers with silver saddles accompanying them. Moreover, these properties were the private property of the soldiers themselves, so they naturally had to fight to the death to protect them.

For Dahe Jinzhong, who had experienced the battle at Gaobiling, this was just a small scene.

Furthermore, since the mission entered the Laoha River Basin, the horse bandits have spontaneously retreated.

In Dahe Jinzhong's view, the harassment by horse bandits was just a matter of stretching his muscles. Facing Cui Yanqing's praise, Dahe Jinzhong said calmly:

"The king ordered me to protect Duke Boling. This is the duty of the general. I dare not take credit for it."

Now Dahe Jinzhong can speak Chinese very clearly, but his accent is still a little weird.

After that, Dahe Jinzhong asked Cui Yanqing to resign and returned to the front of the team to lead the way.

As the saying goes, people are more timid when they are close to their hometown, but Da He was very loyal and calm.

He was from the Dahe tribe. In the early years, Cui Che conquered the eight Khitan tribes. The chiefs of the eight tribes sent their nephews to Cui Che to serve as personal guards. It was at that time that Dahe Jinzhong surrendered to Cui Che's command.

Dahe Jinzhong followed Cui Che in raising troops, fought fiercely at Gaobiling, and made many meritorious deeds. Now he has been awarded the title of Marquis for his achievements.

Although he is the nephew of Da Hemo Hui, Da Hemo Hui has many children and grandchildren. How much wealth can a mere nephew get? It is better to stay in the Central Plains and use his military exploits to become a founding father.

With the current situation in which Cui Che and Yang Guang are competing against each other, there will be many battles in the future. Dahe Jinzhong's desire to win over a founding father is not just a dream.

Therefore, although Dahe Jinzhong is a Khitan, his position is now completely on Cui Che's side.

As for bribing the nobles of the eight Khitan tribes, Cui Che also handed over to Dahe Jinzhong instead of Cui Yanqing.

To recruit warriors to Khitan, it is not enough for the people to sign up enthusiastically, but also the Khitan nobles must be allowed to do so.

In the previous bloody battle at Gaobiling, the three thousand Silver Saddle Khitan soldiers who blocked Yang Su's retreat suffered heavy casualties. Dahe Jinzhong was sent by Cui Che to return to Khitan to recruit new soldiers. During the process, he encountered many difficulties, including the unwillingness of the Khitan nobles.

Let him go.

It was Dahe Jinzhong who used Cui Che's name to threaten everyone, and that made it happen.

Although threats are effective, but if they are repeated too many times, the Eight Tribes of Khitan cannot afford to offend him, so they cannot afford to hide from him.

If they really were forced to Goguryeo, it would be too late to regret it.

Dahe Jinzhong was already prepared to spend a lot of money. This trip was partly to bribe the higher-ups and secondly to lure the lower-ups.

The mission was still five miles away from the residence of the Dahe tribe. Dahe Jinzhong, who was at the front of the team, saw his uncle, Khitan King Dahe Mohui, from a distance.

It turned out that the Dahemo Society knew that the Eastern Sui Dynasty delegation was coming, and that Cui Che's third son was the chief envoy. They had already found the leaders of the other seven tribes and were waiting in the Dahe tribe.

Dahe Jinzhong had no time to step forward to salute his uncle, so he quickly drove his horse back to the team and reported to Cui Yanqing.

As soon as I got close to the carriage, I heard a low groan again. It was windy and snowy outside, but inside the carriage was a scene full of spring.

The third son of King Yan has always had a debauched private life, so Dahe Jinzhong was not surprised.

He coughed heavily, and the groans in the carriage suddenly stopped. Cui Yanqing inside could only hear Cui Yanqing saying displeasedly:

"What's the matter?"

Dahe Jinzhong informed Dahema that Dahema would be waiting at the front.

"knew"

Cui Yanqing replied in a low voice, and then whispered to the beautiful concubine sitting on him:

"You come down first. I have some business to deal with. I'll be with you again at night."

Cui Yanqing is indeed lustful, but he also knows the priorities of things.

If it really happened because of women's lust, the leaders of the eight Khitan tribes were left waiting in the cold wind for a long time, which would make them resentful.

If the incident is reported back to Jinyang, Cui Che will definitely be furious, and he is afraid that he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.

The girl nodded obediently. She turned over and sat aside. After tidying up Cui Yanqing's clothes, she carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Cui Yanqing did not keep Da Hemohui and others waiting for a long time. He opened the door curtain and stepped out of the carriage. Under the introduction of Da He Jinzhong, he greeted the leaders of the eight Khitan tribes.

Ohama would praise:

"The Third Young Master is worthy of being from a noble family. He is born with a dignified appearance that makes people look up to him and respect him."

Although Cui Yanqing's appearance took after that of his parents, and he was indeed born with a good skin, he is only seventeen years old now, so the so-called respect begets respect is nothing more than flattery from the Great Hemo Society.
