The distribution of benefits is the issue that everyone is most concerned about, including population, land, property, etc. All the elders straightened their backs and pricked up their ears.
"Let's start with the sheep."
Guo Song specially slowed down his speech so that everyone could hear clearly. He said slowly: "The Tang army in Yiwu City captured 1.5 million sheep and 70,000 horses. I believe everyone knows it. Chu Yuebu
There are a total of 5.3 million sheep, 200,000 war horses, and a population of more than 70,000 people. In other words, the Tang army took less than 30% of the sheep and horses, and the remaining 70% was divided up by your tribe, so Yi
I don’t plan to share the sheep and horses in my city with everyone, do you have any opinions on this?"
The elders of the Secret Service Department and the Advance Branch Department exchanged glances. They originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they didn't expect that Guo Song had found out the details. If they proposed to separate the sheep, they would be humiliating themselves.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Guo Song nodded and continued: "Since there is no objection, it is settled. Then there are the armor, supplies, and money. The armor in Yiwu's warehouse is gone. I believe they are all in your hands.
I won’t come back, I’ll leave it to you.
I will give half of the ten thousand tents to you. The Tang army will keep five thousand tents. I will also give half of the one million sheepskins to you. In addition, I will also give half of the jewelry, porcelain, and silk of the Shatuo tribe to you, but thirty
I have decided to use the ten thousand pieces of colorful silk to reward the army and will not give it to everyone. Then I plan to use the gold and silver as military expenses and will not participate in the distribution. Do you have any opinions?"
The director of the Secret Service couldn't help but said: "When the envoy wrote to us and said that the Yue Department should be divided equally, we raised our troops to respond. We didn't mention the colorful silks and hedged them with the soldiers. But the gold and silver should be divided into half for us.
!”
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "You can divide it in half, but the ransom for the prisoners of war in the Shazhou Battle is not generally high. You should think about it carefully."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. They had forgotten this. The elder of the advance payment quickly asked: "If we give up the gold and silver, will all the prisoners of war be released?"
Guo Song nodded, "Not only are they all released, but the two thousand Shatuo prisoners of war in our hands are also handed over to you."
After everyone deliberated for a while, the Minister of Secret Service said: "We agree with Guo Shijun's plan, give up gold and silver, and implore the prisoners of war to be released. We also hope that the pig iron and copper can be distributed equitably."
In fact, what everyone is more concerned about is pig iron and copper. These are strategic materials and are extremely expensive to buy from the Sogdians. When they negotiated with the Chuyue Ministry, one of the most important conditions was that half of the copper and iron should be taken away.
Guo Song said slowly: "There are two options for you to choose from. One is that I give you half of the copper and iron, and the mine belongs to the Tang Army. The second option is that the mine is given to you, and the copper and iron in stock belong to me. You can choose for yourself.
one."
The elders of the Secret Service Department jumped up immediately, "Why should all the mines belong to the Tang Army? This is unfair!"
Guo Song looked at him sharply, "Since we want to talk about fairness, please give me half of the people and livestock you plundered!"
The elder of the pre-branch branch next to him also waved his fist and shouted: "Our secret department, the pre-branch branch fought against Zhu Xie Jinhai, but nearly 10,000 people were killed or injured. We paid a heavy price, and we should get more!"
Guo Song responded tit-for-tat: "The Tang army also made heavy sacrifices in Shazhou and Tingzhou. How to count?"
The two sides were in a quarrel, neither of them willing to give in on the copper and iron plan. The elders of the Secretariat and Preparatory Branch were not stupid at all. They had obtained the mine, and they had to organize manpower to mine it. The key was that they were incapable of smelting, so they had to ask for help.
Tang Jun, Tang Jun wanted to take away at least 30%, so they were determined not to give in to the 800,000 kilograms of pig iron and 300,000 kilograms of blister copper in stock.
Guo Song then suggested to suspend the discussion today and ask them to go back and discuss with their respective chiefs before continuing to discuss the copper, iron and land issues.
The elders of the Secret Service Department and the Advance Branch Department left angrily. Guo Song looked at their retreating figures with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
.........
At night, Guo Song was sitting in his tent and wrote a brief letter to Zhang Qianyi and Pan Liao in Hexi, instructing them to send a convoy to Yiwu to carry supplies.
At this time, the soldiers said at the door of the tent: "Your Majesty, they are here!"
Guo Song put down his pen and said with a smile: "Invite them in!"
The soldiers brought in two old men, one was the elder Wusun who took the lead in expressing his stance today, and the other was the elder Lieshan. The Wusun people mainly live in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. They have been closely related to the Beiting Tang Army for a long time, and Lieshan
The Flame Mountain in Turpan is located at the junction of Xizhou and Tingzhou. It also has a very close relationship with the Tang Army. They are actually Wusun people.
Guo Song asked the two elders to sit down and said with a smile: "The harvest is not small!"
Minister Wusun nodded, "The harvest is pretty good, but compared to the losses we suffered from being exploited, this gain is insignificant."
"You will still gain something."
After saying that, Guo Song added: "I invite you two here this time because I want to know the current situation of the Secret Service Department and the Advance Branch Department. I believe you should be very clear about it. Can you tell me about it?"
The two elders looked at each other, and they immediately realized that the Tang army was going to attack the Secret Department and the Advance Branch Department.
Elder Lieshan didn't have much enthusiasm, but Elder Wusun became excited. The Secret Service still occupied half of their pasture!
Minister Wusun said quickly: "These two tribes and the Chuyue tribe are actually from the same roots and species. They are three tribes that were formed after the brothers separated decades ago. Regardless of the Chumi tribe or the pre-branch tribe, their biggest dream is
One of the reasons why they were willing to send troops to help the Tang army to destroy the Chuyue tribe was to replace the Chuyue tribe as the lord of Shatuo."
"What about the other reason?"
"Another reason is the personal grudge with Zhu Xiejinhai. The Yizhou mine originally belonged to the Chumi tribe and was occupied by the Chuyue tribe. In order to compete for the mine, the two tribes fought a war fifteen years ago. Zhu Xiejinhai led his army
After defeating the Chu Mi tribe, he massacred more than 6,000 Chu Mi tribe prisoners of war in order to serve as a warning to others. The old chief of the Chu Mi tribe died in the hands of Zhu Xie Jinhai, and his head was smashed with a stick by him. This is the hatred of the Chu Mi tribe against Zhu Xie.
Because of the golden sea.”
"But they haven't learned their lesson and still want to continue to fight against the strong." Guo Song said sharply.
Elder Wusun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty said it very profoundly!"
"How strong are they now? It gives people the feeling that they seem to have endless troops."
"How is it possible? The weakest among the six departments now is the Chumi Department. Their main force was wiped out by Zhu Xie Jinhai. Zhu Xie Jinhai was vicious and almost killed all the Chumi Department troops. I guess the Chumi Department can now gather together
Three thousand people would be good.”
"What about the advance branch?" Guo Song asked again.
Next to him, Minister Lieshan said: "The pre-branch branch is a little better, but not much better. They also suffered heavy losses. This time Zhu Xie Jinhai's goal is to attack their two tribes and knock them down, so that the sand can be rebuilt."
Tuo, in fact, Zhu Xie Jin Hai almost succeeded. At the critical moment, the Tang army occupied Yiwu City, and the morale of the Chuyue tribe suddenly collapsed, leading to a great defeat."
Guo Song unfolded a map and pointed to the Zheluoman Mountain Road in the north of Yizhou: "The troops of the Chumi Department and the Preliminary Branch are currently located in the south and north of Zheluoman Mountain, right?"
Elder Wusun and Elder Lieshan looked at each other and nodded slowly together, "That's right!"
Guo Song looked at the map and said calmly: "Persuade the other four tribes to send troops together! The Tang army will be responsible for destroying the army, the population and pastures will belong to you, the cattle and sheep will be divided in half, and other property will belong to the Tang army!"
Elder Wusun and Elder Lieshan discussed for a while, and Elder Wusun said: "Two of our departments agree, and we will convince the other two departments, and we will reply to the envoy early tomorrow morning!"
Guo Song smiled slightly, "Then just wait for the good news!"
.........
Zheluoman Mountain is located two hundred miles northeast of Yiwu City. It is a famous pasture in Yizhou. There is Pulei Sea to the north and Yiwu River to the south, nourishing this lush land with rich pasture and flocks of cattle and sheep.
On the west bank of the Yiwu River, Garan, the chief of the Chumi tribe, led four thousand troops and was stationed here. This was their home base. Thousands of dome tents were scattered along the river, extending for fifty miles to the south.
The northernmost part of Yizhou is Jinshan, where there are larger areas of high-quality pasture and the nine tribes of the Chuyue tribe. Over there is the home base of the Chuyue tribe, and it is also the place where the two tribes of Chumi and Anhui are preparing to divide it. As for the Tianshan Mountains
Pieces of pasture in the northern foothills were given to the other four tribes, including Wusun and Lieshan, for distribution.
Garland is about forty years old, short in stature, but very strong, with a broad face, flat nose, slender eyes, and a typical appearance of a fern man.
At this time, Garland was pacing back and forth in the big tent, listening to his uncle's briefing on the negotiations with Tang Jun. Angry eyes flashed from time to time in his eyes.
Garland said with anger on his face: "This Guo Song is very cunning! What's the use of jewelry and satin? They're just women's playthings. But he refuses to take out the gold and silver. What's more important is pig iron. Eight hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron. Does he want to keep it all to himself?
?”
"He is making a fuss about the mine, but all the miners have fled, and we have to find people to mine. Where can we find people? I have seen through him. He talks beautifully, but in fact he has no sincerity at all."
Garland snorted heavily, "Driving away the wolf to welcome the tiger, if I had known earlier, I should have joined forces with Zhu Xie Jinhai to deal with the Tang army!"
At this time, Garland suddenly felt something. He saw a bowl of milk tea shaking slightly on the table. He stared at the milk tea for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "No!"
He turned around and rushed out of the tent, and saw screams and howls suddenly coming from the distance. A cavalry force rushed into the army camp. The soldiers were unprepared and fled in all directions. On the other side of the Yiwu River, there were also
There were constant sounds of women's screams and cries.
Garland clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. The man named Guo is really ruthless!"
