The Khitan King welcomed Du He in very grandly, not because of Du He, the deputy general of Fuyu City, but because of the influence of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. Among the tribes in the northeast, who doesn’t know the Du Family Chamber of Commerce? It can be said that everyone relies on the Du Family Chamber of Commerce to become rich day by day.

Du He is the younger brother of the owner of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. In the eyes of others, this is a moving God of Wealth, shining and waiting for people to pursue the gold mine.

"Deputy General Du is a rare guest. You are not in Fuyu City. I wonder why you came to my Khitan? But what opportunities can you make money to use our place?"

The Khitan King was burly and fierce, but he was full of luxury with his jewels. He kept making money by saying three words, which showed his desire for money.

It was also because of the poor years and the years before the Tang Dynasty that the Khitans made a living by nomadic life. In the eyes of the Han people, they were uncivilized barbarians. They were in the wilderness and were extremely backward.

Although they were remote and backward, these barbarians became more and more eager to learn and yearn for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Especially after Du Shaoqing began to provide opportunities to communicate with them, it was not an exaggeration to say that the Khitan tribe was the only leader of the Tang Dynasty.

Du He knew very well that the Khitans were the best to handle because they had the least territory and were closest to the Tang Dynasty, but they were bullied by Goguryeo.

"There is indeed a huge opportunity to make a fortune, but I don't know if the Khitan King has the courage to take it?"

"Oh? Great opportunity? How great is it?" the Khitan King asked.

"One return can be ten times more than your Khitan's profits from the Tang Dynasty in a year." Du He threw out his bargaining chips.

What???

The Khitan King's eyes lit up and exclaimed, "Don't do it, Deputy General Du, you say, as long as you have money to make money, even if we are asked to send troops to kill people and set fire, we Khitan warriors are willing to take it. If you blink your eyes, you will not be considered a man."

"Okay! The Khitan King is so pleased, so I'll just say it.

This time it was a deal of murder and arson. My Du Family Chamber of Commerce paid for it and hired 50,000 elite soldiers and warriors with the Khitan King to help us solve the opponent Goguryeo. The price is... "

Before Du He could finish his words, the Khitan King almost fell from the throne.

Who should I hit? How can I hit Goguryeo?

Du He said unswervingly: "What? The Khitan King is a well-known man. His previous sentence has not yet fallen. Now he wants to go back on his word?"

The Khitan King was in a dilemma as if he had eaten a dead fly. He rubbed his hands and apologized: "Do not misunderstand Deputy General Du. Borrowing 50,000 troops is a trivial matter. Not to mention spending money to hire, even if you don't give money, our Khitan Lang is willing to help you serve.

But it’s okay to beat anyone, then Goguryeo is no joke. It’s the overlord of Liaodong. Apart from the Tang Dynasty, who is not afraid of Goguryeo’s strength?

How about we change our family? You just want me to take someone to rob the Shi Wei next to you once..."

Du He:...

This guy is also the best. He looks big and thick and sturdy, but why is he so brave? Why does he feel so timid when he hears it is Goguryeo, why does it look like a mouse seeing a cat?

After reaching out to interrupt the Khitan King's long-windedness, Du He apologized: "What? Are you afraid of this?

It’s not that you are asking you to fight Goguryeo, but that you are borrowing some people from you. Goguryeo is led by my Tang Dynasty. If you Khitan tribe don’t even have this courage, then we should not cooperate in the future.

Our Tang Dynasty did not interact with the bloodless tribes, but only knew that the fence-bearers who took advantage of us were not worthy of us to help us.”

This is a clear threat. The Khitan clan made money by the Tang Dynasty. Now, it is better if he doesn't help borrowing troops, he will cut off his future wealth. This method is also ruthless, but the Khitan king dared not even have resentment, because the Khitan was not only afraid of Goguryeo, but also could not afford to offend the Tang Dynasty.

After pondering for a while, the Khitan King suddenly woke up and said, "So, is the Tang Dynasty going to attack Goguryeo? Since that's the case, Deputy General Du is relieved. We must restrain our subordinates and draw a clear line with Goguryeo. We will never dare to get involved in the war between the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers attacking Goguryeo."

...This guy has too strong brain-sucking ability, what are you thinking?

"You misunderstood. It takes time to prepare for the mobilization of our Tang Dynasty heavenly soldiers.

But this incident suddenly happened. At the beginning of the year, Goguryeo was assigned to our Tang Dynasty. But a few days ago, they coveted countless wealth in our Beisha City and sent a large army to rob Beisha City. When they finally left, they burned Beisha City with fire. Our Tang Dynasty, especially the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, suffered heavy losses. How can we not revenge this revenge?

But our Du Family Chamber of Commerce can't wait for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize the army to revenge. Our method of doing so is to take revenge overnight. So my brother sent me a message saying that he would spend a lot of money to recruit soldiers at all costs. Even if he borrowed troops to take revenge, he would definitely destroy Goguryeo."

This, this... King Khitan was stunned by Du He's conversation, and his mind was almost out of reach.

The owner of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is too awesome, and his tone is so strong. It is Goguryeo, a powerful country, not a cat or a dog. Do you want to destroy the country? You Emperors of the Tang Dynasty dare not boast like this.

"Dare you ask, is this true? But Goguryeo is extremely powerful, how could it be destroyed..." The Khitan king hesitated and tentatively.

"Just 50,000 soldiers from your Khitan will definitely not work. Let me tell you the truth. This time we not only borrowed Khitan, but also borrowed soldiers from Shiwei and Martyrs, and borrowed a total of 200,000 soldiers. Together with the 50,000 troops mobilized by our Hebei Datang, we combined 250,000 troops. The small Goguryeo, the destruction is right in front of us."

Twenty, 250,000???

The Khitan King was stunned by the fright, and he quickly considered the outcome in his mind. Goguryeo was strong and might not be able to destroy the miscellaneous soldiers of 200,000 tribes. But with the help of 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be necessary. There is indeed a chance to do it.

"This... Deputy General Du, I am not timid, I am really not easy to mess with Goguryeo. I asked provocatively, if we can't destroy it, what should he do if he takes the revenge?" The Khitan king said cautiously. This is also what he is most worried about. Even if he is not the leader, he just shook the flag and shouted, he will still be hated by Goguryeo in the end. If he can get over the worries, the Khitan will send out 50,000 troops and take advantage of the opportunity to bite Goguryeo.

Du He said disdainfully: "Revenge? Are you kidding? Will the 250,000 army not be able to destroy Goguryeo?

If we take a step back, even if we cannot be destroyed, Goguryeo would have been greatly damaged by our energy and lost its territory. Only the rest of our lives can we survive and have the rest of our efforts to retaliate?

You look like a cheerful person, so why are you silly? If you do it, don’t do it!

We offer a big price to recruit people, but it’s not that we can’t recruit people. A person’s monthly military salary is three stagnant, which is higher than that of the normal soldiers of our Tang Dynasty.”

"What??? Sanguan of money? My God, that's... the person comes, calculate the price of how much pig it costs." The Khitan king shouted excitedly.

Du He was speechless, could not understand this arithmetic?

"Don't forget it. If it's replaced with food, it can fill up a small tent like yours. If you work for a month, you can't finish the three in a year."

"My God, so many? And you have recruited an army of 200,000? How much food did you need to go? The Du Family Chamber of Commerce has such a big investment? Can you give it out?"

The Khitan King gradually changed his expression, from shock to disbelief. After all, there were too many substances and too many food piled up into mountains. He could not imagine who had so many things.

"More? Can't come up with it?

Do you look down on our chamber of commerce?

To be honest, our Chamber of Commerce is doing business that is full of Tang Dynasty. Even if there is a famine in half of the Tang Dynasty, our Chamber of Commerce can support the affected people without starving to death in March, and the supplies of only 200,000 troops..."

Du He introduced arrogantly, "I'm afraid you haven't heard of Gaochang. There is a Gaochang country in the west that is twice as big as your Khitan. Once, we dared to block our trade routes west. At that time, our Du Family Chamber of Commerce paid money and directly supported the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to destroy them by 100,000. It is not an exaggeration to say that we spent money to buy Gaochang country.

Two hundred thousand troops? Are there many?

If it weren't for the sparse population of your Khitan, Shiwei, and Marty tribes, you might not be able to gather too many combat-capable troops. According to my wishes, at least 300,000 troops would be the foundation!"

Du He is also a talented person. Seeing that the Khitan King was already moved, he bragged hard and wanted to fool the Khitan King into the pit.

Sure enough, poverty restricts people's imagination. The Khitan King was tempted by the fooling of money and momentum. Before Du He finished speaking, the Khitan King shouted, "Don't do it! Grandma, Goguryeo relies on its strong force to rob and bully our Khitan tribe every year. This time, he took advantage of his opportunity to take revenge.

General Du, there are too few troops of 50,000. I will immediately issue an order to gather troops, and at least you will get 60,000 elite Khitan warriors who dare to fight."

This guy's face became so fast that he didn't even call the deputy general, but just called the general.

Well... um? Du He was stunned for a moment. There were still unexpected gains. I thought 50,000 was your limit. Does this guy still have a private army?

"This... the army of 50,000 is probably your limit. Is it too difficult to have 60,000? We don't want to go to death if we can't go to war. Besides, my brother told me that I expected that the space of 50,000 will be prepared for you..."

The Khitan King grabbed Du He and rushed to say, "Don't force it, absolutely not force it. Our Khitan is a horse tribe, and men all have the ability to fight on horseback. I will gather a 60,000 army immediately. You can call us and fight wherever you want.

The remuneration is okay, just calculate it at 50,000 shares. The extra 10,000 is considered a gift from the Khitan tribe to the Du family chamber of commerce, so don’t pay it.”

Seeing the Khitan King's indignation, those who didn't know thought that Goguryeo had dug his ancestral tomb. Du He couldn't help but sigh that the temptation of interests was indeed endless.

After pondering for a moment, Du He had already smiled in his heart. He borrowed troops to fight, of course, the more the better. He replied generously: "You can't do this. The Khitan tribe treats me with sincerity. We cannot be stingy. For the 60,000 army, I will immediately send a letter to my brother for good luck, and give it to the Khitan King alone to show your personal relationship."

"Okay, it's refreshing, that's it!

Let’s take a walk, General Du is a rare trip. I will hold a banquet to greet you, and let my princess serve you in person at night..."

Du He has never seen this posture and etiquette, but he has seen the Khitan princess. Tsk tsk, that image is really unique, but most people are really not used to it, so after Du He's banquet, he continued to go to Shi Weixing on the grounds of the urgent war.

Just when Du He was on his mission, a group of chariots and horses came from Fuyu City. They looked like carriages and horses, but they went straight to the residence of the Fuyu City guard general.

After seeing the seal, the guard general Su Lie hurriedly greeted him in person. It turned out that he was the former crown prince and the current eldest prince Li Chengqian arrived. Su Lie didn't need to guess that since this matter was reported to His Majesty for approval, then sooner or later there would be such a military supervisor. This is the custom.

When Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang heard this, Li Chengqian came and they rushed to greet each other. Princess Gaoyang was the most enthusiastic. She had been away from home for a long time and said that she didn't miss Chang'an's family was fake.

"Brother Prince, why are you here? Are you like your younger sister? You feel that Chang'an is bored and come to visit the border army?" Gao Yang asked with a smile.

Fang Yiai coughed lightly and said, "Madam, don't talk nonsense. What can be done to let His Highness come in person is definitely not a trivial matter. It should be for the sake of war at this time."

Su Lie smiled and said, "The Tang Dynasty is a practice that there must be a prince supervising the army in every battle."

Li Chengqian waved his hand modestly and said, "Chengqian was removed from the position of crown prince a few months ago. Now he is just the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty. You must not call him crown prince again.

This time I was indeed ordered to come for the war, but I am not a military supervisor..."

"What? The eldest brother was deposed and the prince was? How could the father..."

"Sister Gao Yang, don't talk about your father behind your back. You just have to step down from the position of crown prince. You are not being deposed and driven out. You are asking for your position as Minister of the Ministry of Justice for your brother. You are demoted. Don't discuss this matter.

Speaking of serious matters, General Su, this time I am not a military supervisor, but I am ordered to fight with you all against the enemy. From today on, Chengqian will be a deputy general under your command. Everything will be subject to order until the end of the war." Li Chengqian respectfully saluted Su Lie.

Su Lie was shocked, "How can this be? The eldest prince is a body of gold. Since he came here, he should be the position of commander, how can he..."

"So what? My father led his troops to fight at the age of nineteen, and he was still the leader? My father has no dog son. This time, my father also wants to train me. I don't know the military, so I have to rely on General Su to teach me more these days.

In addition, this time, many small countries around are involved. Maybe there will be some emergencies that require the royal family to come forward, so it is more convenient to have me here.

As for the position of commander, this time is not a war discussed by the Grand Court. The father’s emperor’s oral orders will be made by everyone in Fuyucheng, and the court will not interfere."

Li Chengqian brought a shocking news. It was not until this moment that Su Lie really saw Du Shaoqing's strength and realized how lucky he had to follow after meeting Du He. The eldest prince Li Chengqian had to learn from him. If he became an emperor in the future, he would be half of the emperor's military teacher. This status would be difficult not to rise.
