Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 456

The essence of war is plunder!
Once a war is launched, if there are no substantial benefits, how can we maintain the expenses of the war?
Foreign wars focus first on land, then on population, and third on all kinds of property.

This time, Lu Hao asked several lieutenants to sweep through various Turkic tribes. Although they did not kill many people, these guys gave in.

However, the major tribes still robbed a lot of valuable property.

Lu Hao asked Situ Tianyin to take it back and auction it, so that it could be used as war funds.

After all, this labor expedition consumed an astronomical number of guns, ammunition, and various thermal weapons.

Although Lu Hao is not short of money, who doesn't want to have more money?
For the huge war expenses, appropriate plunder is understandable.

……

Volabak is the hometown of Juli Khan.

After being occupied by Lu Hao during this period, it had a great impact on his reputation as a great khan. Therefore, he always wanted to drive away Lu Hao and recapture Wolabach.

What made him even more unexpected was that Lu Hao would actually hold a Turkic Tribal Alliance Conference in Volabak.

Said to be an alliance conference, it was actually a conference where Lu Hao asked the Turks to surrender. It was actually a surrender conference.

Once you fall into Lu Hao's trap, it will be even more difficult to turn around in the future.

It was getting late, and in the large tent of the Chinese army that had just been set up, Lu Hao put on a pair of exquisite armor, and his whole person exuded a chilling aura.

What Lu Hao didn't like the most was wearing this kind of armor. It felt stiff all over and it was inconvenient to hold anything.

However, once he put on this armor, Lu Hao looked a bit like a general.

"A man relies on his clothes, and a Buddha needs gold. General Lu looks so majestic when he puts on armor!"

Ashi Zenmei joked with a smile.

"That's of course. Tomorrow is the alliance meeting. He is actually the Prime Minister of the Great Yan Empire. Naturally, he cannot lose the empire's prestige."

Lu Hao's face was filled with embarrassment.

"Prime Minister, there are now 68 tribal leaders. The general will arrange them in the big tent. As for the surrender letter and the covenant documents, they have been drafted according to your wishes."

Xuanyuan Lingyu walked in slowly and reported.

"Lingyu, where are the basic information about these tribes?"

Lu Hao asked casually.

"This is the basic information of each major tribe, including detailed information such as population, cattle and sheep, men, women, old and young, and military."

Tantai Xiyao walked in with a stack of information and handed it to Lu Hao with a smile.

Lu Hao took it and took a look. What he saw were countless Turkic tribes, including the Tatar tribe, the Qiyuan Mir tribe, the Xuanliheng tribe...

"Princess Ashi Shanmei, do you only have so many tribes in your prairie?"

Lu Hao turned to look at the beautiful princess.

"How is that possible? There are hundreds of tribes in our prairie. Here are most of the tribes. There are still a few who haven't come. My brother must be behind it."

Ashi Zenmei responded loudly.

"Princess, this uncle is so ignorant of current affairs, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

Lu Hao's face darkened, and murderous intent emerged.

"What uncle? You are so shameless!"

Ashi Zenmei spat.

"Princess, aren't you worried that this ruthless and ruthless Prime Minister wants to kill your brother?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu joked with a smile.

"What are you worried about? Just kill him! My brother won't listen to advice anyway, so it's right to give him some suffering."

Ashi Zenmei was not worried at all.

"Sure enough, girls are outgoing, but even before they marry the Prime Minister, their elbows are turned outward!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu joked with a smile.

"General Xuanyuan, I am here to help you with your affairs, but not your relatives. Who told me that my brother would not listen to my advice and insist on hitting the stone with an egg?"

Ashi Zenmei said seriously.

"You are right. Juli Khan has fought with us several times, and every time we have been defeated and fled. Now he is still thinking about counterattack. Isn't that asking for death?"

Xuanyuan Lingyu said with a smile. "What? Is there any movement from Juli Khan?"

Lu Hao smiled indifferently, and with the help of Ashi Shanmei, he took off his clothes again.

"Yes, Prime Minister, there are several tribal leaders who are also ready to make a move. The general is worried that they will make some moves tonight."

Xuanyuan Lingyu nodded slightly and sat back on the chair, but she didn't mean to be anxious at all.

"Looks like tonight is going to be another sleepless night!"

Lu Hao shook his arms with a grimace, feeling that the armor was really uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Mr. Prime Minister, the generals have already arranged everything. We're just waiting for them to fall into the trap!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu grinned.

"What? Do you know that brother and the others will take action tonight?"

Ashi Zenmei said in surprise.

"Actually, threatening the alliance conference to the outside world is also part of the Prime Minister's plan. To put it bluntly, it is to force your brother to surrender!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu revealed the answer to the mystery.

"What? Part of the plan?"

Ashi Shanmei was shocked.

"Yes, this is a conspiracy. Your brother simply cannot refuse. After all, he is Juli Khan. How can he watch so many tribal leaders surrender to the Great Yan Empire?"

Thief Lu Hao chuckled.

"You are really a devil. Everything has been planned by you. No wonder my brother is no match for you."

Ashi Zenmei said angrily.

"Hahaha... Princess, you have no idea how powerful the prime minister is! I guess there are few people in the entire continent who can match him."

Tantai Xiyao laughed happily.

"Yeah, people say it's average, third in the world! How can it be worse?"

Ashi Zenmei rolled her eyes in anger.

"Princess Princess, why don't you tell your brother not to come tonight, or persuade him to surrender with those tribal leaders?"

Lu Hao looked at the beautiful princess and said with a smile.

"You asked me to inform you? Is this true?"

Ashi Shanmei looked confused.

"Of course it's true, but it's hard to say whether he will listen to you or not."

Lu Hao smiled calmly.

"Can my brother not listen to me?"

Ashi Shanmei said in confusion.

"Princess Princess, if you don't believe it, why don't you go see your elder brother in person? If the truth is correct, Juli Khan should be leading his army fifty miles to the west, waiting for dark to march towards Wo Rabac marches on.”

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"What? You can even guess my brother's whereabouts?"

Ashi Shanmei was shocked.

"Actually, it's not difficult to guess your brother's whereabouts. If Juli Khan wants to attack Wolabach, his infantry will definitely take action in advance, but they can't take action too early to avoid being discovered by our scouts..."

"So, he will definitely arrive fifty miles away before dark, wait until dark, and then march towards Wolabach, hoping to launch an attack around midnight."

Lu Hao analyzed with a smile.

"How are you going to deal with my brother?"

Ashi Shanmei's back felt chilly.

"I originally wanted to tie you up and send you to your brother to force him to surrender, but now I feel reluctant to let you go. What should I do if you tell me the truth?"

Lu Hao joked with a smile.
