Molested Zulong at the beginning

"The financial operation of the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion can be based on trade. The goods from the Central Plains will be continuously shipped in. Here, we will trade with the locals. If we want to enter the city to trade, we need to pay a certain amount of taxes."

"The local people can exchange the cattle, sheep, and leather in their hands for the salt, silk, and lacquerware of the Central Plains. In this way, the economy is in our hands."

"At the same time, with the Duhu Mansion as the center, establish a private school, let the educated people in the Central Plains follow the example of Lao Tzu, go out of the customs and transform the Hu, and promote the local system of changing customs and learning the Central Plains characters, culture, clothing and etiquette."

"Some local Xiongnu people can pass the exam rankings in private schools, not only can they be officials in Beiting Duhufu, some outstanding students can also go to Xianyang to continue to take the exam. If they pass, they can leave a rich family. The Central Plains is an official."

"In this way, in less than ten years, countless Xiongnu nobles in Monan area, as well as local young talents, will yearn for Xianyang, eager to pass the exam, and go to the rich Central Plains to become a part of it."

"In this way, we can completely incorporate the land of Monan into the territory of the Central Plains through economic, cultural, and military aspects. So far, there will be no royal court in Mobei."

"There are only Beiting Protectorate of my Great Xia, the No.30 eight counties in the future world, and... a group of people from the Central Plains who are good at riding and shooting!"

"However, if you want to accomplish this goal, you can't do it overnight. After returning to Xianyang, I will discuss it with His Majesty..."

Listening to Bai Su's eloquent narration, Meng Yi had a confused expression on his whole face.

She couldn't help swallowing for a while, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This Mr. Bai is really a genius in the world."

All she thought was to burn down the royal court of the Huns, maintain peace on the border for 30 years in World War I, and then withdraw to the Central Plains.

But Bai Su was lucky, she directly set her sights on the entire Monan Grassland and the local Huns, wanting to swallow them all up, and her appetite made her dumbfounded.

However, if it is really achieved, it will be a monstrous feat comparable to His Majesty.

After all, once the Beiting Protectorate Mansion is really established, then Zhengjie will no longer be the lord of the Central Plains, but also a part-time Chanyu of the grassland, becoming the real lord of the world.

Compared with Wang Jian's achievements in destroying the Chu country, this battle achievement is not much less.

No wonder Bai Su said just now that she overlooked a huge battle achievement.

Compared with this proud feat, the materials she seized seemed dimmed at this moment.

Chapter 96 Being a dog is actually pretty good

It took a long time for Meng Yi to recover from the shock.

She swallowed her saliva, and stammered a little: "Young master, we are here for the first time and we don't have any foundation in the local area. If we want to gain a foothold here for a long time, we still need someone who is quite famous among the Huns to act as a puppet. Stabilize people's hearts."

"I don't know if you have a suitable candidate in your heart, young master?"

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a while and said, "There is really one candidate."

Meng Yi looked stunned: "Who?"

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "The Xiongnu Zuoxian King who was captured by us was caught in a trick to lure the enemy. She should have a reputation that can stabilize the local area."

"is her!"

Meng Yi thought of the Zuo Xianwang who was captured by himself, and frowned: "She does have enough reputation, she is a good candidate, but I am afraid it will not be easy to recover her."

Bai Su smiled: "It's okay, I've already thought of three ways to get it back."

Meng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking curiously: "I don't know which three methods?"

"Treat guests, behead them, accept them as dogs..."

Bai Su snapped her fingers and said, "I believe she will figure it out."

......

......

In a dark dungeon.

A woman with a cross scar on her face and a rather gloomy appearance was sitting in a corner covered with straw.

She was a little distraught, she never imagined that a few days ago, she was the aloof Zuo Xianwang, but now she was reduced to such a situation.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the dungeon.

King Zuo Xian was taken aback for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look up.

Meng Yi, who was wearing a skirt and a long sword around his waist, came in after a young man in white.

King Zuo Xian couldn't help being surprised, she knew Meng Yi's status, as Meng Tian's younger sister, her prestige in the army could be said to be below one person and above ten thousand.

But such characters, like guards, willingly followed behind this man.

What is the origin of this person?

Bai Su came to the front of the dungeon, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said with a smile on his face, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Su, and I am now an official to the chief envoy."

"You should be more than just an envoy!"

King Zuo Xian frowned, and glanced at Meng Yi who was standing beside him: "A small envoy is not treated like this."

Meng Yi smiled: "You have good eyesight. Don't look at Mr. Bai, of course he is not an ordinary envoy. He is the biggest contributor to defeating you and Maodun Shanyu this time."

King Zuo Xian looked at Bai Su in surprise, and asked, "So you are the one who defeated Shan Yu. Why do you want a prisoner like me?"

Bai Su was not too polite, and said bluntly: "I will give you three choices, treat, behead, accept as a dog, choose one."

King Zuo Xian was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

Bai Su smiled slightly: "I want to establish the Beiting Protectorate in the local area. From then on, the Monan land will be under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will give you a chance to continue to be Zuo Xianwang."

Zuo Xianwang's complexion changed, and he was a little cloudy and uncertain for a while.

She is also a smart person, once Bai Su said that, she already understood what it meant.

This man named Bai Su in front of him wants to take her as a dog.

In name, he is King Zuoxian, who seems to have a high status, but is actually just a puppet without military power, helping Xia Jun to stabilize the situation in the royal court.

As a vassal who depends on others to live, for a person with such a high status in the past, such a result is really unacceptable for her.

King Zuo Xian gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't want to be a dog or be beheaded, what will you do with me?"

Bai Su rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment and said: "Then I will treat you to a meal, and then send you to the land of Mobei to meet Maodun."

"Let...let me go, are you serious?" King Zuo Xian was stunned.

Don't talk about her, even Meng Yi on the side couldn't help but looked at Bai Su with a puzzled face, he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

How could this captured prisoner be let go casually?

But Bai Su looked at it with a half-smile, and Zuo Xianwang glanced at him: "The reason why Maodun was defeated so quickly this time is because you underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. Not only did you damage the elite army of [-], A large number of weapons were also damaged.”

"You made such a big mistake, but I didn't hurt you at all, and even took the initiative to send you back. What do you think Mouton will think, and how will she treat you?"

King Zuo Xian was taken aback for a moment, and thought about it carefully, Shan Yu Maodun's suspicious, fierce character like a hungry wolf.

For the sake of military power, Mingdi killed his father, and after defeating Donghu, he had people cut off the head of Donghu king as a sacrificial object.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead, and her face turned pale.

If she stays here as a dog, at least she still has a way to survive. If she is sent back to Shan Yu Modun, she might not even be able to keep her head.

After all, she, who lost all her soldiers and horses, is of little value to Mao Dun.

Bai Su looked at her with a smile: "How about it, do you want me to take you back?"

King Zuo Xian's eyelids twitched: "That... well, I suddenly feel that staying here is actually quite good."

Bai Su sneered and said: "You are indeed a smart person. Now Beiting Protectorate is short of people. If you are smart, you can be a dog to me honestly. I guarantee that you will be rich and honored all your life."

"If there are any crooked thoughts, I will abandon you at the worst, and choose another Hun noble to train. You must know that without you, it is not important to me, but without me...then the entire grassland will not have you for half an inch, and there will be no room for you." place."

King Zuo Xian: "..."

She wanted to cry, but even though it was true to say so, she still choked in panic when she said so bluntly that she wanted to be a dog.

Bai Su smiled: "You don't need to show an expression of grievance. If you behave well, you will be allowed to run the local silk and lacquerware business in the future, and you will have a lot of money, and it is not impossible for you to be well-clothed and well-fed."

King Zuo Xian was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise: "But... can it be?"

Bai Su nodded: "It's possible. For you, this may be a windfall, but for me, it's just a small profit. It's not worth mentioning at all."

After hearing Bai Su's words, King Zuo Xian froze in place.

You know, the silk, lacquerware, and wine vessels of the Central Plains are precious on the grasslands. Even Maodun, who is the Chanyu, can't give much silk to reward his subordinates.

But now Bai Su said that the silk would be shipped in large quantities from the Central Plains, and she would be in charge of the management.

Doesn't that mean that satin and silk can be worn by oneself every day, and commodities that are scarce in the Central Plains can be enjoyed at will.

Zuo Xianwang blinked blankly, looked at Bai Su in front of him, as if he saw a big, thick and shiny thigh.

She suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with being a dog.

Although he lost his military power, the material treatment he enjoyed seemed to be better than before.

Chapter 97 You have nothing to say, do you want to tell me?

"Finally back!"

Bai Su rode on the horse, overlooking the majestic city Xianyang in the distance from the high hillside.

The city wall, which is more than six battles high, can't see the end at a glance. The tall city gates, with three gates in the east, west, south, north, can be described as a thoroughfare in all directions and the majestic capital of Kyushu.

After getting used to seeing the low-profile cities outside the Great Wall, a sudden look at the majestic Xianyang City in front of him can't help but give people a strong visual impact.

Even Bai Su couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

It's no wonder that the small foreign countries in the surrounding area will show such surprised expressions when they come to Xianyang.

This gap visible to the naked eye is indeed easy to shock people.

"Bai Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Bai Su standing there blankly, Meng Tian rode his horse over and asked with some doubts.

Bai Su looked at the female general in front of him, who was wearing a black skirt and armor, with a glamorous expression and a heroic appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "I was just thinking, the general has made such amazing achievements this time, I don't know if His Majesty will seal it for you." The general is Wu Chenghou or something."

Meng Tian thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "Although I have contributed a lot to this battle, it is far from enough to be compared with Wu Chenghou Wang Jian."

A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Su's face: "The Northern Expedition against the Xiongnu is comparable to the achievement of destroying the country, isn't it enough to be a Marquis?"

A trace of regret flashed across Meng Tian's autumn-like eyes, and he said: "This Marquis Wu Cheng is one of the highest honors among the twentieth-class military exploits. Wang Jian was only awarded after he destroyed Zhao, Yan, and Chu back then. His Majesty conferred the title of Marquis of Wu Cheng."

"Her daughter Wang Ben, even though she participated in the war against Yan, Wei, and Qi and made great achievements, now she has only won the [-]th rank. Marquis of Guannei wants to reach the [-]th rank. How difficult it is."

When Bai Su heard this, his tongue clicked in his heart.

No wonder all the generals in Daxia are ruthless. If this Nima wants to reach the twentieth rank, how many enemy troops need to be beheaded, it is simply killed from the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and the bones piled up under his feet.

It is no wonder that the ancients often said that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up.

Meng Tian looked at Bai Su with his eyes, and said with a serious face: "Young master is only a leader of the weak crown, and it is the first time to go to the battlefield, and he has made great achievements one after another. Given time, you may have a chance to become the second Wu'an Lord of Great Xia in the future." .”

Bai Su raised his brows, and said with a strange expression: "No, forget it, I would rather continue to be my envoy than be Lord Wu An."

Meng Tian was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why, this is the highest honor for a general."

"The title Wu Anjun is a bit unlucky."

Bai Su's expression was a little subtle.

There are four people who have been named Wu'an Lord in history, Bai Qi, Li Mu, Su Qin, and Xiang Yan. They were either killed or committed suicide. None of them ended well.

He didn't want to repeat the tragedy himself.

It's still okay to fish, flirt with the political sister, and hold the little hand of His Royal Highness Nephrite, which is even more fragrant.

Between these jokes, the army quickly entered Xianyang.

Bai Su pulled the reins, and saw from afar that the city gate was opened, and the Imperial Forest Army had cleared a long path through the street.

The welcoming team arrived early, waiting in front of the city gate.

In the center of the team, there was a black and gold-colored Luanjia, and a graceful and luxurious woman was sitting on it.

Who is it if it's not the political sister?

Meng Tian and Meng Yi hastily dismounted from their horses, bowed to Sister Zheng and saluted under the watchful eyes of everyone: "I will see Your Majesty in the end."

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be too polite. This time you led the army to attack the Huns. It's been a long journey. It's hard work."

While Sister Zheng was speaking, her phoenix eyes unconsciously glanced at Bai Su who was riding a horse and following behind the team in the distance.

It has been two full months since I saw him. He is still dressed in a white robe, and he stands out from the crowd, but it seems that he has experienced a lot of wind and sun, and his whole body seems to be slightly tanned than before. healthy.

Seeing that this courtier was only a little darker, but still alive and kicking, and there was nothing unusual about it, her heart that had been suspended for many days relaxed a lot.
