As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Of course they knew what Xu Yun meant.
They can take everything in Guangning City, including the population. In other words, after the city is broken, the Liaodong Army allows the undead army to loot the city and rob the wealth and population.
Buliudaren was not shocked that they could plunder, but that the Liaodong Army would use this as a condition to persuade the Undead Army to fight.
The northern grasslands are inherently difficult places, and the Buliuda people live among barren mountains and rivers, and the environment is naturally bitter and cold.
For the tribes in the north, plundering had no moral baggage. Just like farming in the Tang Dynasty, it was a means of making a living.
The war between tribes is to plunder each other's population resources so that their tribe can survive.
When the strength is weak, the tribes can only fight each other, rob cattle, sheep and women, and strengthen their own tribes. Once the strength is strong, they will have thoughts about the rich Central Plains in the south and tentatively plunder along the border.
If you encounter fierce resistance, you will naturally restrain yourself, but once the opponent's resistance is weak, you will push further.
In fact, before Wu Zong's Eastern Expedition, the situation in the Northeast was never peaceful. Although the Bohai people repeatedly invaded the border, the Xile tribes in the north also went south to plunder.
It was not until the Liaodong Army guarded the northeast that the surrounding tribes converged. In addition, the kingdom was divided, and the Xile tribes were fighting among themselves. Although there were still small groups of horse bandits attacking the border from time to time, the border area was generally peaceful.
But the wildness in their hearts has never disappeared from the Siler people.
Of course they know the wealth of the South.
Even though the four northeastern counties were not prosperous and prosperous places in the Tang Dynasty, in the eyes of the Xile people, they were still beautiful places.
If after the city is broken, everything in Guangning City can really be taken away, it will be an immeasurable amount of wealth for Bu Liuda.
Of course they know that Guangning City is the administrative seat of Western Liaoning. The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated. There are not many big cities with real reputations. And a large amount of wealth and population are concentrated in those few counties and cities. If Guangning's wealth is further improved,
, then it’s not just as simple as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Being able to plunder a large city in the Central Plains is a dream for any tribe in the north.
However, Buliudaren never expected that it was the Liaodong Army who proposed this suggestion.
The Liaodong Army was a frontier army stationed in the Northeast by the Tang Dynasty. Its duty was to protect the four northeastern counties from being invaded by surrounding tribes, and it also had the responsibility to protect the people of the Northeast.
Now the Liaodong Army actually took the initiative and allowed the Undead Army to plunder Guangning. Although Guangning was no longer in the hands of the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong Army's proposal still shocked the Buliuda people present, and they all looked at each other in shock.
"Master Xu, is this also what the general means?"
"That's what the Protector meant." Xu Yun said calmly, stroking his beard and smiling: "Forged the imperial edict, Qin Xiao is the number one rebel in the Tang Dynasty, and the undead army cooperated to suppress the rebellion. After entering the city, they will naturally help to exterminate the rebels.
Nowadays, many people in western Liaoning have defected to the rebels, especially in Guangning City. A large number of gentry and stupid people support the rebels. Therefore, it is natural to wipe out these rebels after breaking the city. The undead army will kill the rebels and obtain
The spoils of war are your tradition, and since you have invited the Undead Army to participate in the battle, the Liaodong Army will naturally respect your tradition."
The meaning of Lord Protector, of course, is also the meaning of General.
At this time, all the Bu Liu Da people present were already excited. Xu Yun's conditions made the looting nature in the blood of these Bu Liu Da people burn.
"Master Xu, you have worked hard all the way and are very tired." Shanyu said, "When you come, please prepare food and wine first, and treat us well."
Xu Yun naturally understood what Shan Yu meant.
The conditions offered by the Liaodong Army obviously relaxed Shan Yu's heart, but such a major matter would definitely not be decided easily. This was to convene his subordinates for discussion.
Xu Yun understood the idea, got up and led two of his men out of the tent.
His guess was not wrong. After Xu Yun left, Chanyu immediately sent people to summon all the elders and leaders of the camp.
The Chanyu organizes hunting every year, accompanied by a large number of people, including leaders of various tribes. Many elders of the tribe, Tutun, Qijin and even captains will accompany him. This is of course to show the Shanyu's majesty, but also to guard against the Chanyu.
After leaving the sweat tent, there will be tribal leaders with evil intentions.
Soon, more than twenty important tribal leaders gathered in the big tent.
The tent where Chanyu camped was naturally spacious. More than thirty people gathered in the tent, which did not seem crowded at all. They sat down on the left and right sides.
Xilin Khan replaced Shanyu and explained the requirements of the Liaodong Army in detail. When they heard that the Liaodong Army promised to sack Guangning City after breaking the city, almost everyone became excited.
Chanyu seemed to have long been aware of the attitude of his subordinates.
If you have the opportunity to go to the beautiful and prosperous western Liaoning openly, rush into the city to plunder property, and play with the women of the Tang Dynasty, and then snatch them back as slaves, this can certainly inspire the people living in the bitter cold land.
The rough men seemed impatient.
"If you have been to the Tang Dynasty, you will know the wealth there." A Tutun said with excitement: "Their treasures are piled up like mountains, and they can't be moved all. Their women are different from us, their skin is like the silk they are rich in.
She is smooth, has a good figure, and even has a beautiful voice. I went there a few years ago and played with a few women, and I can still think of her often."
In fact, the Northeastern Fourth Army was also a bitterly cold place in the Tang Dynasty. Women in the Northeast were definitely stronger than those in Jiangnan, and not as delicate and weak as Jiangnan. But compared to the women in Xile, the women in the Northeast were much more delicate.
few.
"Playing with women is not a big deal." Someone said: "I heard that in every city of the Tang people, there was a large amount of food stored in them, and there was no way to finish the food. In the event of a natural disaster, we would ask the Tang people to buy food to save our lives, then
The prices are extremely expensive. This time we will transport all the food from western Liaoning back. If we store it, we will no longer be afraid of food shortages in a few years."
Others said: "Don't you mean that everything in the city belongs to us? I heard that Guangning City has a population of more than 200,000. The old men and men were killed, and there were tens of thousands of women and children left. They were killed.
If we all drive them back, we can buy a lot of silver." We have already done the calculation: "If we return with a great victory this time, plus the silver reward promised by the Liaodong Army, we can make a profit of millions of taels. With this silver
Prepare the army for war and continue to buy food and grass. In less than a year or two, we can send troops to quell He Gu and Zhen Yu, unify Modong, and Chanyu can revive the kingdom."
This last sentence made the room even more excited.
Tatu Buliudazhang was extremely excited in this atmosphere. He stood up and said: "Father Khan, I am willing to personally lead the undead army to attack Liaoxi. If I don't win, I will never come back."
Shanyu seemed very calm, raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then slowly said: "The gods will never give you roasted lamb. The Liaodong Army gave you such a generous offer, it seems to be plump lamb, but
This piece of lamb may be coated with poison and will kill you if you eat it.”
Everyone was surprised.
"If Long Rui's army is just a mob, how come the Liaodong Army doesn't attack in person?" Shan Yu said: "We are allowed to take everything in Guangning City, and we are also given a bounty of 500,000 taels. The cost of the Undead Army after sending troops is also
Let them bear it...!" He looked around and asked: "Why did the Liaodong Army hand over such a huge amount of wealth to us? What they did can only prove that the Liaodong Army either did not dare to fight,
Either we can't fight and we ask the undead army to help us, not to help them attack Long Rui's army, but to use the undead army as the main force to fight against Long Rui's army."
Xilin Khan nodded slightly and said: "What Shan Yu said is right. The Liaodong Army was defeated by Long Rui's Army not long ago and suffered heavy losses. I heard that Huangfu Yunzhao stayed in Yingping and did not dare to leave the city."
"That General Anton is as fierce as a wolf and more cunning than a fox." Shanyu said: "The Shanyu knows his thoughts very well. Although the Liaodong Army is considered elite, it only has 20,000 soldiers and horses. If it is compared with Long
The sharp army fights hard and the main force fights decisively. Let's not talk about whether it has the strength to defeat Long Rui's army. Even if it really wins, the Liaodong Army will definitely suffer heavy losses." He stroked his beard and said calmly: "General Wang is worried that this is really going to happen.
The Bohai people will take advantage of the situation, and he is even worried that our Xile tribes will also take the opportunity to go south, so he does not dare to invest all his capital because of Long Ruijun."
Everyone nodded when Shan Yu hit the nail on the head.
"The undead army is worth ten." Shan Yu said proudly: "General Wang's purpose is to spend a lot of money to hire our undead army, so that the undead army can fight against Long Rui's army. Even if they cannot win, as long as the undead army can consume a large number of Long Rui's army,
With soldiers and horses, the Liaodong Army can defeat Long Rui's Army at the minimum cost. As long as they can defeat Long Rui's Army in the northeast, the price they paid can eventually be replenished." He sighed and said, "They sent two hundred thousand taels.
The next 300,000 taels of silver and the wealth after the destruction of the city are not in our hands yet. Things that are not in our hands will never belong to us." He raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the account and said slowly: "The 200,000 taels of silver are just for use.
Come and buy the children’s lives, send two thousand troops, and pay one hundred taels per person to buy their lives.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the tent, and the lively and exciting atmosphere just now disappeared.
"Chanyu, what should we do?" Xilin Khan pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "Reject the Liaodong Army's proposal and refuse to send troops? But if this happens, I am worried that there will be future troubles. If the Liaodong Army is defeated in the end
The Long Rui Army has regained control of Liaoxi, and we have rejected their request, and they will definitely retaliate. Even if they do not come out and fight directly, if they secretly collude with the Zhenyu tribe, or even cut off trade with us, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Chanyu, when we encountered natural disasters, if the Liaodong Army hadn't loaned us grain and grass on credit, we would have lost a lot of people and animals." Someone was obviously biased towards the Liaodong Army and loudly said: "Although the price is expensive, after all, it helped us in times of crisis.
Also, had it not been for the help of the Liaodong Army, the Zhenyu tribe would not have been defeated. The Liaodong Army has always supported us behind the scenes. Now that they need help, and they have offered such a high price, I think they should not refuse them.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately said: "He is helping us because he just hopes to use us to balance Zhen Yu and He Gu. If our strength weakens and we cannot compete with Zhen Yu, it will be of no benefit to the Liaodong Army."
"Yes, he is indeed using us." The man from before said: "But don't we also use them? Without the support of the Liaodong Army, our current situation will be even more difficult." He took a step forward and crossed his arms across his chest: "Single
Therefore, the general sent an envoy here, and we cannot let him return disappointed."
"You mean to let the undead army go and die?" Someone else said in a deep voice: "If the undead army goes to help the battle, the Liaodong Army will definitely let the undead army rush to the front, and there will definitely be heavy losses by then. Children will die fighting for the Liaodong Army.
, is it worth it?”
Someone immediately said: "You are just a coward. The Undead Army is invincible, how can you be afraid of Long Ruijun's rabble? If you are afraid, you can hide in the sheepfold."
"What did you say?" the man roared.
"You heard everything I said."
The two of them were about to take action, Shan Yu's face turned cold, and neither of them dared to say anything.
"If we send out the undead army, we can really defeat Long Rui's army. After breaking the city, General Wang will not break his promise." Shan Yu said: "We will have rich rewards by then, and the tribe will also be greatly strengthened.
This even gives us the opportunity to unify the Xile tribes as soon as possible." After a pause, he continued: "But if we lose the battle and fail to break through Guangning, not only will we not get a grain of food or a population in the city, but we will also get the three grains of food and people in the city promised by the Liaodong Army.
One hundred thousand taels of silver may not be repaid in full."
Xilin Khan said: "Chan Yu has made it very clear that whether to send troops or not is a big gamble. Once we win, our army will gain a lot and its strength will be greatly increased. If it loses, the two thousand undead troops may not be able to come back alive, and our army's situation
It will be extremely dangerous."

"So whether you want to bet on this game or not depends on everyone's choice." Shanyu said: "It is related to the rise and fall of Buliuda, this Shanyu will not be arbitrary, everyone...!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw one of his subordinates sitting in the row on the right suddenly turned sideways and fell to the ground, which was very abrupt.
When the Chanyu convenes a general meeting, the leaders can sit cross-legged on either side, but in order to express respect for the Chanyu, they all need to stand up straight. This person suddenly fell sideways, which is naturally very unusual.
After the man fell on his side, he didn't move. A person beside him reached out and shook his hand, thinking that the guy was asleep: "Karasuma Nobu, wake up, get up quickly... Karasuma Nobu...
..!”
But Karasuma Yan didn't move. Tadu noticed that something was wrong, immediately got up and went over, and turned him upright. Seeing Karasuma Yan's face turned black, his teeth clenched, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he turned to Shan Yu.
Said: "Father, Wuwan Tutun seems to be ill."
Wu Wanyan was the leader of the Wu Wan tribe and had a high status. Chanyu called people in and ordered Wu Wan Yan to be carried down and asked for diagnosis and treatment by the accompanying witch doctor.
Karasuma Nobu was just over 40 years old, he was in the prime of life, and his body was very strong. Suddenly he fell ill during the meeting, and he couldn't even hold on. He collapsed in public, which really surprised everyone present. When Karasuma Nobu was killed
After being carried down, the meeting continued. This little incident was quickly forgotten by everyone and no one cared about it.
