Chapter 68 Unexpected(1/2)
Since everyone has successfully negotiated the price, the rest is very simple.
Yu Dun is very smart, so he will suppress the price.
But he didn't know the real purchase price of Liu Mingqi and the others, so there was a kind of information difference here.
Fortunately, for this trip to the Western Regions, Liu Mingqi prepared a lot in advance, and only one-fifth of the 80,000 taels of silver was given.
But Liu Mingqi made a special trick when trading.
He loaded all the goods in a carriage, then transported them out of the military camp and handed them over to the guards of Shache Kingdom.
This move was seen by many people, and countless people were conveying the news that "the little Tubo prince is rich enough to rival a country."
That's it!
The goods in a carriage are enough to pay for ten thousand pizza, so how much can they buy if they have more than ninety carriages left?
The merchants with ideas were thinking about how to sell goods to them in exchange for treasures from the Dakangyu Prince's Mansion.
Of course, people with other ideas have different thoughts.
Liu Mingqi naturally had some tricks in doing business. He ordered his soldiers to be prepared at any time. If Shacheguo dared to be evil, he would directly destroy them.
As a result, Yu Dun didn't want to do anything, so their Shache Kingdom could continue to survive.
Perhaps these people who have seen along the way have never thought that the three thousand people of the little prince of Banqu Danzeng were enough to defeat their 30,000 people.
When leaving Shache Kingdom, a few more noble children in the team were added, including two noble ladies.
Needless to say, they were all attracted by Liu Mingjing.
Of course, these noble children and ladies were not on the way alone. They also brought a group of slaves and guards. These people now have more than 200 people in total.
Liu Mingjing is still responsible for the food and drink of these people.
A Shanghai-style person like Liu Mingjing can have a lot of friends wherever he goes without many powerful relationships.
Such people are the best for diplomats.
Unfortunately, there is no room for him to play now. If he goes to modern times, he will definitely be a good player.
In April, the weather has become hotter in the Western Regions.
While walking on the road, a group of noble children took off their outer robes and just wore tight beard clothes.
Their servants and guards were even more diverse, and there were shirtless people.
As a result, when I turned to the three thousand troops, I honestly wore thin leather armor, and acted neatly and meticulously.
Especially when camping at dusk, they all have standard marching and fighting patterns, trenches, wooden railings, horse-resistance... and so on, all of them are available.
This surprised a group of noble children.
While sitting in front of the campfire and eating, a nobleman from Khotan couldn't help asking, "Little Prince, your army is so rigorous and serious, and it is obvious that it is an elite army. How did it be defeated by the Dakang army?"
Liu Mingqi was funny and thought that he would not be slapped in the face. If he was really a Tubo, if you said this in front of them, it would be just a slander.
Of course Liu Mingjing was not angry. He seemed a little furious: "Do you want to listen to the situation of the battle that day? What I heard from my father may not be true."
"Little Prince, tell me! We want to hear it!"
"Tell me, how comfortable it is to drink and listen to stories?"
A group of people seemed very gossipy and started to make excuses.
Anyway, the pain is not theirs, but Tubo.
Liu Mingjing originally wanted to brag, so he followed the good deeds and then began the process of self-boasting.
"You don't know that this Dakang Imperial Guard is really like a god descending to earth!
When our Tubo army encountered them, they had already fought seven consecutive battles with the Uighurs and Western Qiang!
They have strangled 50,000 elite troops from both countries on the scale of 3,000 people!
…………”
This guy was so exaggerated that Liu Mingqi couldn't listen after listening to a few words from the side. She turned around and went outside to inspect the defense.
After a while, he saw Zhang Qin meticulously guiding the soldiers to prepare for defense.
This is not the first time. Zhang Qin will definitely do this every day when he sets up camp.
And he basically won't rest. He will return to the tent after knowing that everything is arranged.
Then the next morning, Zhang Qin must have appeared first for inspection.
He is like a tireless robot, and he will appear in advance no matter when and wherever he is needed.
So at any time, you can trust Zhang Qin.
It happened that at this time, Xiong Dabao had already returned from outside.
He smiled and said to the two of them, "Our location is quite good. Behind it is a river, two or three hundred meters away from the avenue, and there is no support around it... If the enemy wants to attack, it is best here."
"But we have only been less than fifty miles away from Shache Country, right? Are they not afraid that Shache Country will send troops to support us?" Zhang Qin asked.
"Which army in the city dares to come out for rescue at night? After an ambush, many people will collapse... What should I do if they are taken to their nests by someone?" Xiong Dabao said with certainty.
"Well, Brother Bao is right." Liu Mingqi just agreed to Xiong Dabao's words, and then said, "But I don't think they will attack at night."
"Why?" Xiong Dabao was curious.
Liu Mingqi asked back, "Think about it, if the enemy came to attack us, whether it was the officers and soldiers of Shache Kingdom or the horse bandits and robbers, what were they doing for?"
Xiong Dabao said without thinking: "Of course it is for the goods of our 100 carriages."
"right!"
Liu Mingqi said: "So they shouldn't come to sneak attack at night. If the war is in chaos, the carriages are damaged, or they are burned down by accident and fall into the water... What's the use of them coming to sneak attack us?"
Zhang Qin expressed doubts: "But we still have 3,000 people! They want to eat us without any effort. Is this possible?"
"Greed is to destroy a person's caution and caution." Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "The goods in a carriage can be worth 80,000 taels of silver! How many people can be crazy about eight million taels of silver? If it were me, I would also consider whether to rob!"
Perhaps God wanted to make Liu Mingqi look ugly. Just as he finished speaking, a few miles southwards opened, a "bang" sound lit the red fireworks.
The warning is here!
An enemy is coming from the south!
Xiong Dabao immediately ran to a horse circle and greeted people while running: "First to the tenth Army Marquis, quickly prepare the equipment and follow me to attack!"
Zhang Qin also turned around and ran in another direction.
He needs to prepare for defense, and only if an enemy comes from another direction can he react.
Both of them were busy with their responsibilities, so they didn't care about Liu Mingqi.
Damn!
Liu Mingqi's face looked very bad.
Of course he was not against these two, but against these gangsters.
You guys shouldn't be so idiotic, okay?
The night attack was to kill people!
It’s better to grab things during the day!
Without any logic or brains, how can you be an excellent robber?
At this time, a group of noble children who were listening to Liu Mingjing's bragging in the distance also made a move.
When Liu Mingqi returned to them, she found that they were all a little panicked and unconsciously moved closer to Liu Mingjing.
The militant Liu Mingjing, the militant, resisted the urge to go to the battlefield, and wanted to punch and kick all the boys to open them.
He could only pretend to be dissatisfied and smiled and said, "Don't panic, everyone! Believe in the army I train! They are stronger than ordinary army!"
"But little prince, what if they... they can't resist it? Let's go back to Shache City!" A female young man from Shache City suggested tremblingly.
"Lesari, don't worry, brother, I will protect you safely." Liu Mingjing laughed and patted her hands, "Wait! Let's talk about it if you can't."
Seeing that he was still so confident, the big guy's heart gradually became more stable.
But just two or three miles away, there were bursts of shouts of killing, and the screams were endless, which made everyone nervous again.
The conflict came quickly and ended quickly.
Almost just after a pot of tea time, the sound of shouting and beating and killing gradually faded away.
"What's wrong? Why is there no sound?"
Someone asked.
Another person with some knowledge gave him a blank look: "Can you not be so idiotic? The sound of shouting and shouting and killing is getting farther and farther away, does it mean that we have retreated the bandits and chased them out? If the sound of shouting and shouting and killing is getting closer, we can't stand it!"
"Oh, prince, you are so awesome! You can understand this!"
"Haha, what am I? The one who wants to be powerful is the little prince!... Your army is indeed extraordinary. Once you move, the enemy will be beaten away!"
Liu Mingjing laughed and stood up, "Let's go! Let's go outside the military camp to welcome the triumphant soldiers!"
To be continued...
