Chapter 399
"Princess, will they agree?" asked the maid who was following Jia Lina.
"I should agree." Gu Lina said indifferently: "If they agree, it doesn't matter if the gold mined from the gold mine is half of them. Although gold is very precious, it is more valuable in this world than gold. There are too many precious things."
The maid listened to the nodded: "But will this reveal our true intentions?"
"Don't worry, There is a Formation set up by the Master over there, and without a first-class Formation expert, it is impossible to discover the hidden things." Gu Lina said confidently: "In the world, except for the Imperial Teacher, no one can crack the finished apprenticeship. Formation, besides, what if they found Formation?"
"If they mine gold mine obediently and honestly, it will be fine to give them half of the proceeds of the gold mine. Mysterious iron ore, you can also divide some of them, if you are still greedy, don't blame me for being cruel when the time comes."
Gulina didn't feel a little worried, the Liangyuan Canyon is on the prairie, where it belongs to The Qing tribe's territory, she also has some status in the Qing tribe, and after discovering the gold mine, the Xuantian mine and the hidden thing.
She moved all the tribes under her control to the edge of Liangyuanyuan Canyon, which now belongs to her ruling area.
It's just that she didn't let her tribe enter the Liangyuan Canyon. The people in the tribe seemed to be loyal, but he couldn't guarantee that there would be spies.
Even her personal guards, she didn't trust them 100%.
That's why she went to make a deal with Zhuo Bufan. The secrecy of the Xiliang army is very strict. After they discovered the Xiliang army in the grassland, they have been thinking about inserting spies into Xiliang all these years. In the army, but so many years have passed.
In addition to inserting one person into the ordinary army of the ninth Legion, their Qing tribe has no spies in it.
And the spies who entered the army had no news at all except for the time period when they could come out every month to pass them a little news.
They can't get in touch with him either, they can only get in touch when he's out.
This shows how strict the Xiliang Army's secrecy system is, and they suspect that the Xiliang Army should have a huge intelligence network.
They found out that the spies were going to enter Jiuyuan City, and they would be captured by the Xiliang Army within two days. All these news were sent back by their caravans from the grasslands.
It can only show one thing that Xiliang's intelligence network is very strong.
Associating with such a force with a very good secrecy system, Gu Lina felt at ease, because the gold mine in her hands must not be leaked.
The things around the gold mine are too important to her, and it will take a long time to mine those things, so she is willing to combine the gold mines with the west before the things are mined. The cool army is divided equally.
After she wants to get something, she can kick Xiliang away, who made this gold mine in the Qing tribe's territory, and the Xiliang army can't follow him in this place. Right.
She can easily recruit the Qing tribe army, and the Xiliang army is far away from the Qingxi fortress in this place. Even if a scout is sent for help, the scout will not be able to spread the news to the Qingxi fortress in a short time. side.
It is estimated that while waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, the troops in the gold mine have already been wiped out by her.
Since she can think of this, then the generals on the side of Xiliang can also think of this, so how to get the army of Xiliang to mine gold is a problem.
So now she is not very sure whether the Xiliang army is willing to go to the Liangyuan Canyon to mine gold.
Zhuo Bufan immediately called together the high-level officials in the fortress.
"General Zhuo, these two original canyons are within the territory of the Qing tribe. Even if there is a real gold mine, you can't go there!" A middle age person said: "Now we can cooperate with him ,
After the gold is mined, the other party only needs to tell the Qing King of the Qing tribe, and the sons we sent over will never come back!""This is a trap!"
"I don't know Gulina Princess who made this suggestion. Is he really stupid or he treats us as fools?" A general said bluntly: "Although gold is very valuable, it is the life of our soldiers. Higher."
"But the subordinates feel that we can beat somebody at their own game." The general who spoke turned his head and continued: "Because of the boundary, it is difficult for our army to rush. Go to the prairie.
The other party asked us to go to the Liangyuan Canyon to mine gold. Less, all kinds of materials and tools for gold mining need to be prepared.
At least two or three thousand people are required to set off. It is better for us to disguise as mining people in the middle of the zone and place weapons and equipment. On the transport vehicle, wait for the border crossing, put on your weapons and equipment, and give the prairie people stationed at the border a backstab!
Take this opportunity to capture that place!"
Jiekou is the place where the Qingxi grassland and the prairie are connected. The Qing tribe sent 30,000 horses to garrison there, including 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. Not far from this army, there were ten others. several tribes.
The water and grass are abundant at the border.
Once the army at the border of Xiliang Jiekou clashes with the army of the Qing tribe stationed here, those tribes will come to support in the shortest possible time.
This is the price they pay for grazing around, a place with lush water and grass, if you don't pay a little price, you can get it.
The price paid by those tribes is that when the garrison here clashes with the garrison in Xiliang, they need to rush to support in the shortest possible time.
It's fine if we don't go to war. Once we go to war, with the military strength of both sides, one side will always lose, but the winner will not be much better.
Both sides are the elite of the elite, and they are both ruthless who are not afraid of death.
If these tribes are launched, they can mobilize more than 20,000 horses, so the number of grassland people stationed here should be between 30,000 and 60,000.
This is a huge number!
As long as the opponent sticks to it for a period of time, the troops on the grassland will continuously support it.
It's spring now, and major tribes are migrating continuously to find water sources and places where water and grass are lush.
In the past, the people of the Qing tribe on the prairie had to go to the Qingxi grassland to graze. There were not many tribes on the Qingxi grassland, and many places were not used.
It has naturally become a grazing land for these grassland tribes on the prairie. Unfortunately, since Xiliang occupied the Qingxi grassland, they have never been to the Qingxi grassland to graze.
There are fewer grazing places, and sometimes the two tribes often fight for a better grazing land.
When a battle occurs on the grassland, it is not a fight with wood, but a sharp long knife is drawn directly. The winner can annex the other's tribe and occupy the place where the water and grass are lush.
The losers, the young and middle-aged are all killed, and the little ones will be killed as long as they are taller than the wheels.
The woman of the loser will become the slave of the tribe of the winning side, producing offspring for them and strengthening the tribe.
The seven big tribes and the Golden Clan on the grassland were just a small tribe countless years ago. In the annexation wars, they have continuously expanded their ethnic groups and the number of ethnic groups has increased. , It was not until a thousand years ago that it grew into the Seven Great Tribes of the Prairie and the Golden Clan.
On the grasslands, only the fierce can survive. Cowardly people will be swallowed up in this land where powerhouses survive.
So to start a war with the grasslands, they must grasp the time and speed, and take down the defenders here before the enemy tribal army comes to support.
Otherwise, waiting for the other party to react, the thousands of people who stabbed the grassland troops from behind are likely to be eaten by the other party.
"They won't let us bring so many things over there!" Zhuo Bufan shook his head: "And only the soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters can complete this task. Do you think the other party will let the history of the Xiliang headquarters be free? Have you crossed the border?"
Others fell silent after hearing this, but the matter of the gold mine was already a thing of the past.
There is no place for the prairie people to trust them, and the other side will not trust them, both of you don't trust me, I don't trust you, how can we cooperate?
“Isn’t there any other way except to get to the Liangyuan Canyon from Jiekou?” Zhuo Bufan looked towards the prairie commander.
The one who was most familiar with the Qingxi grassland and the prairie was the commander of the grassland people.
"Return to General!" The prairie leader said: "The Qingxi prairie and the prairie are separated by a mountain range, and the only one that can reach the prairie is the side of Jiekou, otherwise we can only put To climb the ten thousand zhang high mountain, but I have never heard of anyone who can climb over it."
"If that's the case, then forget it!" Zhuo Bufan has given up the gold mine in his heart, even if What Gulina said is true, and he also impossible to let his subordinates risk mortal danger to go there to mine.
When the time comes, the gold that may be dug up has not yet been compensated, and the pension for soldiers who died in battle is too much, it is really a compensation for the lady and the soldier!
"No That's it!" Zhuo Bufan changed the topic: "It's spring, it's the busy farming season, and it's also the breeding season for livestock. Next, you all person will give me a good look at the places you're responsible for, and there can't be any mistakes. You can't relax for a moment."
Zhuo Bufan said and looked at the next young general, the young general immediately got up and said, "General, there is nothing wrong with Jiekou."
Zhuo Bufan nodded and continued. : "The lord took the army south to conquer Liang Province and Bingzhou. It is not advisable for us to fight again on the grassland, so as not to disturb the heart of the lord.
Faced with the provocation from the prairie, we can bear it as long as we can, But if the other party dares to step into our Qingxi grassland, then kill me directly.
We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. As long as the other party dares to cross the line, then call me fiercely. !
Did you hear everything clearly?"
"Listen clearly!"
....
"Gulina Princess, I'm really sorry, although Liangyuan Canyon is not very far from Qingxi Grassland, but that place is still under the control of your Qing tribe, we really don't worry about our people going to your side to mine!" Zhuo Bufan Said to Gulina apologetically.
"I can guarantee your safety!" Gu Lina listened a little anxiously: "I can assure you, General Zhuo, that no one can harm the mining personnel on the prairie, and the mined Gold is half and half, if the general doesn't believe it, I can swear to God."
"Princess, you and I are not children!" Zhuo Bufan interrupted immediately: "You promise you will not hurt us, but you There is no guarantee that others will not come. As long as the people I sent over are discovered by the people from the Qing tribe, they are like things called into a trap, and they will not be able to climb up, and we will not be able to go to support and save them!"
"The reward you gave is indeed a lot, but the life of my soldier in Xiliang is priceless, so I'm really sorry I can't help you!"
"Princess, if you like it, You can stay in the city for a few more days!" Zhuo Bufan said and turned to leave.
Gu Lina frowned and said to Zhuo Bufan, who was about to walk out of the gate: "I remember that you should have a lot of slaves in Xiliang, why don't you sell me some slaves!"
p>
Zhuo Bufan turned his head: "Here, I really don't know why Princess didn't use the hands of the Qing tribe to mine the gold mine, but did everything possible to let me mine in Xiliang, is there something this Zhuo doesn't know about? ?"
"I just don't want the father mother to know!" Gu Lina said directly.
"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Zhuo Bufan stared at Gu Lina's eyes and said, "If it's just a gold mine, I don't think King Qing will take it all, it's on the edge of the gold mine. There should be other ore veins derived, Princess didn't want to be known by Qingwang and Heiwang in that ore vein, so she has been looking for me to mine Xiliang."
"I don't know if my guess is correct"
p>
Gu Lina was a little stunned, bit her lower lip, thought about it, and said, "I can't hide it from you wily old fox people!"
"On the edge of the gold mine, There is a mysterious iron ore!" Gu Lina picked up the tea next to him and continued: "That is a large mysterious iron ore, the quality is Top Grade."
gu lu !
Zhuo Bufan swallowed his saliva. Xuan iron ore is the best material for weapons in Xuanjie. Most of the famous weapons handed down in Xuanjie today are made of Xuanjie.
The production of mysterious iron ore is very small and very rare. Most of them appear in iron ore. A large iron ore produces only ten kilograms of mysterious iron.
However, sometimes black iron will also form ore veins called black iron ore. Once it appears, it will be competed by all influence.
Without him, the weapons made are extremely sharp, and the armor formed has certain resistance to spell attacks in addition to fighting weapons.
So once this kind of ore appears, it will be contested by all influence.
