Seeing Amin lost in thought, Jia Cong felt happy.
I'm afraid that if he doesn't change his mind, as long as he changes his mind, he will leave a seed in his heart, which will slowly take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree.
That alone is not enough, you need to add more fire.
"In terms of ability and merit, you don't have to be inferior to anyone else, you even have to be above them. It stands to reason that you are also qualified to inherit the position of Great Khan. You now have two paths.
One is to be the Great Khan yourself, the master of the barbarians, and control the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people. The other is to let others be the Great Khan, live in fear, and beg your master like a dog to spare your life. "
Since ancient times, the change of power has been accompanied by bloodshed.
As the saying goes, once the emperor comes to power, almost none of his former competitors will be able to die a happy death.
Amin's father rebelled against the old slave because he wanted to replace him, but he just missed a move and became a prisoner.
After listening to Jia Cong's words, Amin's face became increasingly ugly.
I don’t want to know this, I’ll be frightened just thinking about it.
What this kid said is really very possible, and his final ending is probably not going to be good.
"I am your prisoner now. What you are saying to me shouldn't be of much use. What exactly do you want to do?"
"I need an ally in the hostile camp who can help me when I need it. If you are willing, I will not only let you go, but also help you ascend to the position of Great Khan."
"It's not that easy to get the position of the Great Khan. It's impossible as long as the Great Khan reigns for a day. What do you want me to do for you?"
It seems that Amin is really tempted. A person in a high position knows the beauty of power, and there is nothing he does not yearn for for greater power.
"There are some things that are inconvenient for you to do, but I can help you do it. For example, I can prevent your Khan from returning to Hetuala, remove the biggest stumbling block for you, and give you a chance to fight for your position. .
Similarly, I need you to do things for me that are not convenient for me to do. Help me eliminate some of my enemies. You can also send your enemies into my hands and become my military merit. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. .
In addition, we can start trade with each other and develop each other faster. I need some thousand-year ginseng and century-old ginseng. I also hope you can help me collect some. "
Jia Cong's proposal was still very tempting to Amin.
He raised his head and took a deep look at Jia Cong, nodded and said: "I promise to cooperate with you and be your ally. There is no shortage of century-old ginseng. I have several plants at home, and I can help you collect some.
However, Thousand-year-old ginseng is too rare to come by. I only know that the Great Khan has two plants in his hands. I don’t know whether they have been used. The leaders of the big tribes should also have some in their hands, but I am not sure. "
Jia Cong was very satisfied with Amin's response.
Originally it was a shot with jujubes but no jujubes, but I didn't expect that I actually hit jujubes.
This Amin is much more useful than Borchi. His status is high enough and he has a certain say among the barbarians, which can help him gain more military exploits.
With Amin as his ally, his purpose of joining the army to obtain military honors has basically been achieved.
Next, the two people discussed the follow-up plan with each other, worked out a plan that both parties recognized, and left contact information.
Amin led the remaining men to leave, returned to Lao Nu's camp, and lied about destroying the invading Mongolian cavalry.
Let Wang Shun and Zhang Hu lead the cavalry team, return to the camp with the loot, and rest temporarily to wait for orders.
Let one hundred soldiers return to Guangning with their battle reports and the heads of five hundred barbarian soldiers to report their merits to He Shiyuan.
Jia Cong did not return with everyone, but took Qingwen, Li Biao, Chun Xia Qiudong and others, as well as thirteen special forces members, a total of twenty people, and rushed towards Hetuala.
······
Amin surprised everyone when he returned to the camp.
Amin's achievements are obvious to all. He followed Lao Nu in the north and south, made great achievements in battle, and rarely suffered defeat.
This time they left with an army of 3,000 people, but more than 200 people came back. Could it be that they failed?
The old slave was a little surprised when he saw it, and asked doubtfully: "Amin, what is going on? Have you been defeated too?"
Amin took a step forward, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "General, I have paid homage to the Great Khan. The two thousand Mongolian cavalry have been completely wiped out by our troops. Because they had firearms and resisted tenaciously, my subordinates lost troops and generals. Please give me some thanks." Forgive me, Khan."
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the group was wiped out, everyone would have no worries.
The old slave nodded expressionlessly, as long as he didn't lose, morale was needed at this time, but the result was too tragic, and he still understood Amin's abilities.
"Now that the bandits have been eliminated, there is nothing wrong with them. Get up. You have worked hard this time. When there are prisoners of war, priority will be given to replenishing your team."
"Thank you so much for your grace. I served the Great Khan until my death."
The old slave was still very satisfied with Amin's attitude. He looked around at everyone and said, "Now that the worries have been eliminated, you can fight with peace of mind. When Horqin's reinforcements arrive, it will be time for us to launch a general attack.
Daishan, today your troops will go out to fight, to frighten the Mongols, to instill fear in their hearts, and to reduce their morale. "
"I obey the orders of the Great Khan!"
······
He Shiyuan looked at the battle report in his hand and felt as if he was in a dream. He couldn't help but pinch his thigh and "hiss" it really hurt.
This kid actually made a meritorious deed, earning five hundred barbarian heads. This is not a lie.
Moreover, one hundred soldiers actually came back intact, which is really incredible.
Although the battle report said that an ambush was set up in advance and gunpowder was used, it is very impressive to achieve such a result.
Not to mention, this guy really has some skills and is a good soldier.
He was just a little too courageous. He didn't come back with the soldiers and went to Hetuala with only a few people. I don't know what this kid wanted to do? Hope you don't get into trouble!
There are heads to prove that this credit is real and there is no water in it.
He Shiyuan immediately wrote a report of victory, one to be reported to the Liaodong Jiedu Envoy, and the other to be sent directly to the capital to be reported to the Ministry of War on a six-hundred-mile rush.
This is the benefit of having people above, and no one takes credit for their own achievements.
At this time, Jia Cong had already entered Hetuala.
On the luxurious carriage, Qingwen was dressed like a barbarian noblewoman, and the others were also dressed as guards and maids, accompanying the carriage.
Most people would hide away when they see this posture, for fear of getting into trouble.
Not long after entering the city, people from the special operations team came over, and Jia Cong followed them to their destination.
Tie Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Third Master, why are you here in person? If something happens, we can't afford it."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "What can happen? You will be safer with me here. How is the investigation of what I asked you to do?"
"Back to Third Master, we have already inquired about the entire defense situation in Hetuala. There are five thousand soldiers and horses stationed in the entire city, and the defense and patrol personnel in various places rotate every two hours.
We have also investigated the location of Baylor's mansion. We have focused on the old slave's palace. There are two hundred guards stationed in the front hall. I heard that there used to be a thousand people. The old slave took them away when he went on an expedition. The harem is The old slave's family volume.
We focused our investigation and found that there were several palaces that were relatively tightly guarded. We couldn't be sure whether they were the inner treasuries of Lao Nu. "
Tie Zhu said and handed a defense map to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong unfolded the picture, looked at it carefully, and said: "Inform me, we will take action tonight, targeting Lao Nu's palace. There are two thousand-year-old ginseng there. We must find it.
In order to prevent being discovered and causing trouble, we should first deal with the two hundred guards and use the one-step attack configured by Miss Han. After dealing with them, we should first search the palace in front thoroughly. It's enough for the old slaves to be fascinated by their family records. Spare their lives. "
"Yes, Third Master, my subordinates will arrange for someone to notify them and ask them to come and gather at night."
There are only iron pillars in this yard, and four or five special forces members live here. The others live scattered in other places. If there are too many people living together, it is easy to arouse suspicion.
Jia Cong took Qingwen and the two of them walked around Hetuala. It took a lot of effort to come here. It would be a pity not to look around.
To be honest, there is really nothing to see in this small broken city. It is directly incomparable to the Shenjing City, and it cannot even compare to some ordinary cities.
However, this architectural style is different from that in the mainland. It is more rough, bold and grand.
The two of them visited the shops here and tasted the special snacks here. They didn't return to their base until late in the evening.
At the third watch, more than 40 people took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked into Lao Nu's palace.
Tie Zhu led his men to kill the night watch and patrol guards first.
Then he sneaked into the barracks and blew a step into the house through the crack in the door. After a few minutes, he entered the house with his mouth and nose covered and eliminated the sleeping guard.
It took two and a quarter of hours to get rid of all the guards, and then started searching palace after palace.
Lao Nu's palace is equivalent to Emperor Longqing's palace. Although it is not comparable in size, it is not small either. It took more than half an hour to search the inner treasury.
The collection of an emperor is not a small amount. After everyone entered, they were all stunned.
I saw countless ginseng piled in the warehouse, like a hill, weighing at least two to three thousand kilograms. Jia Cong picked it up and looked at it. These ginseng were at least several dozen years old.
There is also a small pile of velvet antlers next to it, all of which are selected from the finest velvet antlers, which the slave can enjoy by himself.
Opening all the boxes on the ground, most of them were silver, and there were a few boxes of gold. Some of the boxes contained Dongzhu, which weighed several hundred kilograms.
There are also some gems and some jewelry packed in several boxes.
There were more than a dozen boxes on a shelf. Jia Cong opened them and saw that they were all ginseng that was over a hundred years old. The lowest ones were one or two hundred years old, and some were seven or eight hundred years old.
In a box next to it were twelve Dongzhu, which were larger than pigeon eggs. They were round in shape and sparkling with a charming light. Jia Cong took them directly into his arms.
The other side is full of mink skins, neatly stacked against the wall, just like a wall. I don’t know how many there are.
There were several tiger skins and bear skins beside them.
These supplies are used by the old slave himself and the women and children in the harem, and they can be said to be the best.
In addition to these, there are some other supplies in the warehouse next to it. There are indeed a lot of good things.
Jia Cong searched for a long time but couldn't find the thousand-year-old ginseng. Could it be that the old slave had eaten it? This old guy was really unreasonable.
Unwilling to give up, Jia Cong took people to search the harem again. In the largest palace, they finally found two thousand-year-old ginseng plants. Strictly speaking, they were more than one and a half plants, and a small part of one plant had been used. .
Jia Cong was so distressed that he wrapped it up and put it in his arms. If it weren't for these two ginseng plants, Jia Cong would not have come here.
Anyway, the old slave may not be able to come back. Keeping it will give others an advantage, so it is better to take it yourself.
Gather everyone, find all the carriages in the palace, and start loading them.
First, they loaded the ginseng, dongzhu, deer antlers, jewelry, etc. on the cart, then loaded the boxes of gold on the cart, and finally started loading the mink furs. A total of twelve carts were loaded.
Tie Zhu said worriedly: "Third Master, how are we going to get back with so many things? I'm afraid we can't get out of the city, right? We can't hide it here for long, and we don't have to be chased all the way."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "We will definitely be chased, but it's not a big deal. Let everyone put on the clothes of the barbarian guards and escort the convoy out of the city after dawn. If anyone comes to chase, use grenades to greet them."
"Yes, Third Master, my subordinates know this and will go down to make arrangements."
It was already dawning at this time, and Tiezhu asked everyone to put on the armor of the palace guards.
They also asked people to go to the kitchen to find some food, and everyone ate a hurried breakfast. Waiting for daylight, the motorcade left the old slave's palace and rushed towards the city gate.
It was really easy to wear this kind of clothes. The city gate guards didn’t even ask, and everyone left Hetuala in a big way and headed north.
It wasn't until noon that the women in the harem woke up. When they went out, they saw that the sun was already in the sky, and it was almost time to have lunch.
As several screams rang out, the harem suddenly became a mess.
"Kill, kill, all the guards were killed."
After a while of commotion, they calmed down and found someone to notify the officials in the city and the generals who defended the city.
Everyone rushed over and saw that except for the guards who were standing guard and patrolling, everyone else was dead on the kang and had been killed in their sleep.
Then I saw the warehouse door open, and there were very few things left inside, and the more precious materials were gone.
Afterwards, they continued to investigate and found out that there was a convoy leaving the city in the morning, and it was guarded by palace guards.
It was obvious that someone had robbed their Khan's belongings and left the city in disguise.
It's not bad. When the Great Khan came back and found out, he and others suffered a lot. Fortunately, the Great Khan's family was okay.
Knowing that there were only dozens of people, everyone didn't care. They sent a thousand cavalry and chased them separately.
