Chapter 950: It’s Better to Do It Today than to Wait for a Day

50,000 people is not a small number, plus the soldiers they are raising now, the daily food consumption is very huge.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the full grain in the granary. It was because she had a golden finger. If there was no space, the huge food consumption alone would be enough to drag them down.

She didn't bother to cover it up now.

Of course, there is already a rumor around Yanmen Pass now.

Jiang Xiaoxiao of the Jiang Family Army is the reincarnation of the Thunder God.

Anyone who dares to go against the Jiang Family Army will be struck by lightning.

Before Jiang Xiaoxiao sent Li Yu to find a way to contact the guards in Yanmen Pass.

There was news from Yanmen Pass.

The prefect in Yanmen Pass personally brought his men to their Lijia Village, wanting to see the famous Jiang Gongzi of the Jiang Family Army.

Prefect Wang Caicheng came with the government officials and a team of 500 officers and soldiers from the city guards.

They came naturally to get the news.

Lijia Village was able to capture two capable Turkic generals.

This is definitely not the point. The point is that these villagers caught the Turkic king, but they didn't send him to their city to receive the reward.

And they sent a letter to the Turkic king privately.

The Turkic king sent 10,000 horses, 50,000 slaves, and countless cattle and sheep.

No matter how you look at it, this matter has become very big.

If the Turks took the two kings back and led their troops to attack the city in anger, wouldn't it be the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city who would suffer.

And can these villagers outside the village stop the Turkic army?

Of course, another question is how can these villagers accept these things without complaining.

Can these things be enjoyed by some small villagers?

That's 10,000 horses. If they were sent to the military camp in the city, how many cavalry could be expanded, and there are also cattle and sheep.

This year, there was a snow disaster. Not only the Turks suffered from the snow disaster, but also the soldiers and civilians outside Yanmen Pass.

These cattle and sheep can make up for a large gap in supplies.

Of course, the prefect can only think of how much wealth he can get from these things.

He could also give Shangfeng some silver to pay his respects, and transfer him back to the capital, so that he would not have to endure the wind and sand of the border, and be worried about the attack of the Turks and the unrest of the soldiers and civilians here.

The prefect thought so, and of course the garrison thought so too.

After a discussion, they immediately sent troops to the village to collect these things, and reprimanded these villagers for being so bold.

Although some of these border residents were as bold as the barbarians, they were weak after all. If there were no garrison troops, how could these villagers survive?

In their minds, these villagers were able to defeat the Turkic barbarians and get these properties, all thanks to their garrison troops.

What made people jealous was of course the rich supplies they got, 10,000 horses!

If these horses were put on the market to sell, every Turkic horse would be a good horse.

Even if the worst horse is sold at the horse market, it will cost between 200 and 800 taels of silver.

This is simply millions of taels of silver.

You know, the court cavalry is not much, just because of the lack of war horses, it costs a lot to buy good Turkic horses, which is also the reason why they can't win the war with the Turks every year.

The Turkic cavalry is much stronger than them.

The Turkic horses run fast and have long endurance.

The Turks are natural herders and horse breeders, and they have a large number of horses.

How can these horses not make people jealous, this is 10,000 horses.

In addition, there are countless cattle and sheep this time. Although those cattle and sheep are secondary, there are 50,000 slaves.

Although those are 50,000 slaves, they all look old, weak, sick and disabled. The problem is that the number of residents in the border is decreasing year by year, and they can leave early, and they are almost gone.

In order to stabilize the local stability, the army repairs the city wall fortifications.

Every year, a lot of labor needs to be recruited, and these labors have long been out of supply.

Now these 50,000 slaves, that's 50,000 people.

As long as they are given some food and don't starve to death, there will be people working.

This is definitely a great political achievement, and you can report your military merits to the court.

The garrison general Wang Siyi has already thought about it, and when the time comes, he will make up a war without any ulterior motives.

If he reports to the court that he captured the Turkic king in exchange for the Turkic tribute, then he will have made a great contribution. With such a great military achievement, he will definitely be promoted.

The group came directly to Lijia Village in a mighty manner. Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others had already received the letter.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't know the other party's intention, and didn't want to know the other party's intention. Anyway, she had already set her sights on the defenders of Yanmen Pass.

Li Yu has been in contact with his old subordinates recently.

Although the final surrender time has not been finalized, a large number of people have already made up their minds.

Especially after they got 10,000 horses, 50,000 slaves, and countless cattle and sheep with great fanfare, their small village had such ability, and the 10,000 villagers they trained on the spot could actually defeat the Turks.

Many officers who were still wavering and hesitant had already made up their minds.

"Sir, the prefect came with bad intentions, these people must have planned for the ransom in your hands this time!"

Li Yu knew too well that these officials, who were like blood-sucking leeches, embezzled money, falsely claimed military merits, and framed loyal officials. There was nothing they dared not do.

The current court was a quagmire.

It was difficult for people in it to stay out of it. Those who had ambitions and ideals had long been excluded from the court. Like them, they could only watch the court become incompetent day by day.

"If he dares to come, don't leave. I was just thinking about taking Yanmen Pass. Why not just do it today? Take the opportunity and take it all at once. We don't have to be always cautious. I want the flags of the Jiang family army to be planted all over the east, west, south, and north. We must cherish the fact that there is still a piece of pure land at Yanmen Pass.

The people still have a place to live and work in peace. Since the country is about to perish, let's change to a new world."

Jiang Xiaoxiao meant that the new world was naturally a new reform and governance policy. Unfortunately, Li Yu thought that Jiang Xiaoxiao was ambitious to be a monarch.

Although Jiang Xiaoxiao was a woman, there were examples of female monarchs in history.

Miss Jiang really has that ability, and has an outstanding business mind. Just look at how long it has been, and snowflake salt has spread almost all over the country. There is also glass cement, which was only available in the vassal state, but now they can be easily found here.

Don’t say that the black technology grenade is really worthy of its name.

Just like the grenade in his hand.

He didn’t know who was supporting Jiang Xiaoxiao behind her, because Jiang Xiaoxiao never bothered about food and grass.

It was as if Jiang Xiaoxiao had endless food in her hands.

Don’t say that Jiang Xiaoxiao really did that.

“Yes, sir!”

A great ambition surged in his chest, maybe the world would not be the same from now on.
