Chapter 193

Wealth and honor are in danger

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger.

But for Cui Lin, walking around the camp of the Lou Class is actually no different from going outings. Cui Lin knew very clearly that the Lou Class did not dare to touch him, and Cui Lin was also very confident in his eloquence. He believed that with his eloquence, even if he could not say that he would be reduced to the Lou Class, at least there would be no problem in self-protection, so there might not be any "safety", but "wealth" is expected!

Of course, Cui Lin’s wealth sought is not wealth in the ordinary sense. What he wants is wealth that is famous for his history, the second is wealth that is trustworthy, and the third is wealth that is recognized by his colleagues. With these wealth, Cui Lin and the Cui family will naturally not have a bad status in Fengning County in the future.

Cui Lin had few guards, only a team of 100 people, but these guards were all Murong Fang's personal guards, who crawled out of the sea of ​​blood with Murong Fang through life and death. They were all good at fighting. Although Lou Squad also set up elite troops in the camp and unsheathed swords and guns to add some pressure to the messenger, in the eyes of these guards, these bright swords and guns had no other purpose than good-looking ones.

No matter how powerful the sword and gun are, it depends on whether the master of the sword and gun is strong enough. The sword and gun itself have no power.

Cui Lin walked into the gold tent of the Lou Class with a little curiousness. This big tent was really inlaid with gold and silver, which shows that the Lou Class is indeed a person who focuses on enjoyment. Such a person is not suitable for survival on the grassland!

"Cui Lin, a member of Fengning County Government in the Great Han Dynasty, met the leader of the Lou Team!"

"Bold! Why don't you call yourself the king?!" A general next to him glared at him with his knife, his voice thunderously, and his aura was quite imposing.

Cui Lin smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the general and asked, "What do you call this general? Why do you have to answer on behalf of the leader?"

"Hmph! It is said that the Han family is a country of etiquette, but you are so rude with your envoy. I am Lin Ze, the general under the tent of the king. Since you are rude to me, I will naturally rebuke him. Don't you Han people pay attention to the master's lord's silence? Do you don't even know this common sense? Then what kind of messenger are you here to come here to send me!"

Cui Lin was slightly surprised. He couldn't tell that this stout man could even tell such a truth, which was completely inconsistent with his appearance!

Cui Lin nodded: "Yes, the Lord is humiliating his ministers to die! Our Han family emphasizes loyalty and righteousness, so there is such a saying. However, General Lin Ze, you must first find out a fact, that is, will I insult your master? The reason why I don't call the leader of the Lou Ban the king is because the word "king" is used to describe the leader of the thief in our Han area. If I call him the king, I am afraid that he is humiliating the masters who are waiting for you."

"Then...then you should also be called Lord. My lord is Lord Wuhuan in the middle. It's not an exaggeration to call him Lord!"

"No, the title of Lord is a title for people with official positions in the Han area, or a scholar with a high status. This is inconsistent with the facts. Louban is the leader of the Wuhuan tribe in the central region. Isn't it very appropriate to call him the leader!"

"this......"

"Okay, it's just a title. What's the point of contention? What's the matter with the entourage coming here??" Lou Ban made the final decision and ended the dispute that had already fallen into a disadvantage. In Cui Lin's view, Lou Ban's concession was actually an attitude, a compromise attitude, which already indicates that his task was likely to be completed.

"The leader of the Lou Ban, who is here, is here to come to seek a future for the 600,000 people of the central Wuhuan, and to seek a future for the leaders and all the generals here..."

"Bold! You dare to come and persuade me to surrender! I am no one in Wuhuan? Lord, if you kill this man to sacrifice the flag, the Han army will only have 200,000. We have 200,000 warriors, and we will definitely be able to win in one battle!"

Lin Ze took a step forward, interrupted Cui Lin loudly, glared at Cui Lin fiercely, and a bloody storm with a strong pressure rushed towards Cui Lin. Cui Lin's face slightly stern.

"kill!"

The generals in the tent shouted in unison, and they were quite powerful. Even the guards outside the tent were moved. However, the 100 Han army guards not far away just looked up and continued to feed black beans to their war horses.

Cui Lin glanced at the generals in the tent with different faces. Why did they look different? Because everyone has different thoughts, some really hope to fight with the Han army. Lin Ze said just now, there were indeed only 20,000 Han army a hundred miles away, and the Lou team could indeed gather nearly 200,000 soldiers. In this case, it seemed really embarrassing to surrender without fighting.

However, some people have the same mind as Lou Ban, knowing that even if they win, it will be a temporary victory. The war is not only fought once, and it is better than Tadun and let Fang Zhiwen destroy it. Is Lou Ban better than Tadun? Of course the answer is no, so the war is really a dead end!

"The leader of the Lou Team, I am now telling you. Please restrain the generals under the tent and do not always interrupt my statement. This is very impolite. If you want to object, you can wait until I finish speaking before objecting. Do you not even have the courage to listen to me?"

Pan Lou coughed lightly, waved his hand, signaled Lin Ze to retreat, and nodded to Cui Lin: "Please continue talking with your envoy."

Cui Lin smiled confidently and continued, "The leader must be very clear about the current grassland. Tadun has completely destroyed, and his millions of people have become the people of our Han Dynasty. Su Yanpu in the east is being attacked by our army. The Xianbei Murong family in the west is being forced by our soldiers and retreating westward. Now my lord is just preparing to conquer the lord. The lord once told me that he had a pleasant cooperation with the leader, so he knew that the leader of the Lou team was a smart person who knew the general and was kind by nature and did not like to fight. He would definitely not sacrifice the welfare of his own people and act as a thug for the lord, so he was sent to a mission."

The Lou Ban blinked his eyes. The so-called happy cooperation, I think about it, probably Fang Zhiwen, but he made up for the losses, but there were not many benefits. However, Cui Lin's compliments were quite helpful.

"Oh? Please tell me bluntly, what is your lord's statement?"

"Before I set off, my lord said to me, 'This is my only talk about inner support, not surrender'. The leader of the Lou team is stupid, but it can also be seen that your subordinate is now in danger. If he takes a wrong step, he will never be able to recover. On the contrary, if the handling is done properly, it will be a huge blessing for hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of soldiers."

"How do you say this?"

"I am bluntly speaking, your army's strength is never possible. Under the offensive of our army, we can only join forces with Nanlou. We Han people have a saying, "There is no other day. Since the two of us join forces, who should be the main one? To put it bluntly, the so-called joint forces are just another form of surrender. At that time, the leader may still be kept in the gold tent by the Lou team, and they will be frugal and frugal. These loyal generals will probably all be the heads of the people. As for the leader's soldiers, they can only become lambs in others' circles and swords and guns in their hands."

After Cui Lin finished speaking, the tent was surprisingly quiet. It was not that no one had thought about these things, but they were not told in person. Now Cui Lin's analysis shows the development of the matter before everyone's eyes. This kind of thing that is very consistent with the facts will not doubt the consequences of surrendering to the Nanlou, which made the generals in the tent feel heartbroken.

Lou Ban sighed, looked at the ugly faces of the generals, and didn't know what to say. In fact, this is the case. The annexation of tribes on the grassland was like this.

However, Cui Lin obviously felt that the destruction of their souls was not enough, and he needed to add another fire.

"Even if you are willing to sacrifice yourself to help them for the sake of hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers, let's see what Tadun will end up. In the end, these people are just ghosts on the battlefield. Everyone thinks that if they are both killed in battle, who will die first, is it difficult to lou or the leader of the Lou team?"

Lou Ban looked at the pale generals. He probably looked good at this time. He swallowed his saliva hard. Lou Ban tried to calm himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was very dry, as if he hadn't drunk water for a few days, and quickly cleared his hoarse voice.

"Well, I am a good man, can you just surrender to the Han people? Compared to surrendering to the Nanlou, at least we are still the same clan!"

"This is a bad statement! The leader did not surrender, but was an enemy. After the subordinate, the leader's subordinates were the people of the Han Dynasty, and the army was naturally the army of the Han Dynasty. How could there be a saying of alien races? Most of the strong soldiers and generals under my lord are grassland men. You can go and see, they are all proud of being Han people now."

"What will happen to the generals under my command?" Lou Ban actually wanted to ask about his treatment, but he couldn't ask so directly.

"If the leader sincerely attaches his heart and follows the regulations of the Han Dynasty, the leader will be appointed as a village marquis, and the fief of the township. The generals will be appointed according to their actual talents. The army will be re-examined. Those who pass the army can continue to join the army. Those who fail the qualification can retire and serve as the people. The subordinates are all citizens of the Han Dynasty, and they will move to various cities to avoid the suffering of wind, snow and wild wolves, and enjoy all the powers and obligations that the Han people should have. If the leader does not believe it, he can send people to Miyun City or Fengning City to see the situation of the original Wuhuan people who live in the city now. As for all the generals, I believe everyone knows Zheluo. Now Zheluo is a Fengning general with a rank of 300 stones. This is known to everyone, and he is a hundred miles away at this moment. All generals can go and verify it from him."

Lou Ban's eyes flashed. This condition was exactly the same as what Liu Yu said. It seemed that Liu Yu had indeed told Fang Zhiwen about his desire to surrender. Although Lou Ban was quite reluctant to lose his military power and status, Cui Lin's words made him understand that this military power and status could not be preserved anywhere.

The generals in the tent also began to make their own small plans. They naturally knew about Zheluo. Some people still saw Zheluo surrendering under Miyun City. Zheluo has now become Fang Zhiwen's favorite general, which is also clear about them. The capable generals naturally thought about whether they could make achievements in the future. Those who are not capable were planning to keep their wealth.

"If you defect to the Wandao, your wealth will be taken away by the Wandao. Your wives and daughters will be slaves to others and will be attached to the great man. You may lose your power for a while, but your property will be protected, your wife and daughter will be at peace, and your future will still have a future. Isn't it self-evident how to choose?"

Lou Ban tries to find bargaining chips, but he seems to have no idea what he has to use as a bargaining chip.

"What if I don't want to do it if I have hundreds of thousands of people?" Lin Ze helped find a bargaining chip.

"Haha, General Lin Ze, I wonder how much tax the people of your ministries now have to bear every year? How much does they earn in a year?"

"this?......"

"As a great man, apart from the normal one-month corvee, you need to pay 30 agricultural taxes and 10% commercial taxes. In addition, there are no other taxes in Fengning County and Miyun areas. You may also be able to figure out whether it is better to be a herdsmen on the grassland or a great man's people."
