Chapter 1199 Khorasan Ji Clan

Chapter 600 Khorasan Ji Clan

"How much food do we have outside the city now?"

Ji Yao asked.

One of them stood up and said: "We have eight castles with a total of more than [-] acres of fertile land. Due to climate reasons, we can only grow wheat and corn. Now we have a total of [-] shi of flour and [-] shi of corn. This It's what's left after we sell a lot of grain. In addition, there are [-] cattle and [-] sheep."

"Well, take out [-] kilo of flour and [-] kilo of corn, and slaughter the cattle and sheep immediately and smoke them into bacon. Just prepare [-] kilograms!"

The steward who managed the farm just hesitated for a moment and then agreed. In this way, their contribution was considered within the acceptable range and it was not a big deal.

"How are the preparations for the station going?"

"Go home, Master, we have built a large castle on the side of Herat, which is enough to hide tens of thousands of people. It is also among the mountains. As long as you are careful, you will never be discovered."

Ji Yao nodded. In fact, the owner only wanted them to prepare supplies and find a few guides. He did not ask for anything else. These were all prepared by him.

What a joke, it would be a big joke if he couldn't seize such a good opportunity.

Can you win against the giant cannibal?Haha, in his eyes, there is a family leader who is commanding the army in the Western Region, and he wants to take advantage of the cannibal?There’s no telling whether I’ll be able to come back.

Once Da Shi is defeated, it will be a piece of cake for the forces now conquered by Da Shi.After Dashi's defeat, those forces and remnants of the country that were oppressed by Dashi will surely rise up and deal a fatal blow to Dashi. It can be said that they will attack in groups!
At that time, Dashi will be in chaos. Once Dashi is in chaos, his opportunity will come.

Nowadays, the Persian Ji family branch only has [-] guards on the surface, but secretly, he has already trained [-] cavalrymen, who are also elites trained by the family soldiers. In the past few years, they have been fighting outside, and they are all fierce soldiers who have seen blood.

Once the chaos comes together, that's when the wind will rise!

There must be a place for him in the Khorasan region!
Yes, he just wants to build a country and build a country of his own.

With Ji's support and the support of a large number of talents, isn't it possible to build a country on this land?
As for why he strongly supports Su Lie and his party, that is his plan.The more powerful the Tang Dynasty cavalry becomes in Dashi, the more benefits it will gain. For example, Datang cannot take away the castle it has built, right?You can't take away much of the plundered wealth, right?

What if I can’t take it with me?You can't burn it, right?What a pity!
So, if they come out to take over these things at this time, and then contact Chang'an to give these soldiers some benefits, wouldn't these things all belong to them?
In this way, they can obtain a large amount of materials and wealth in a very short period of time!

Some people say what to do if the big eater discovers it?Aren't you afraid of people's revenge?

Of course he had considered this, but he didn't need to bring everything back. He could just find a place to bury the things, and when the food was in chaos, he would lead his army to attack the city. With these supplies, he didn't even need to bring food.What kind of combat power will an army without logistical pressure exert?
Therefore, he must have good dealings with the other party this time. The head of the family does not know about this, and he is not prepared to talk about it.Everything is my own decision and has no connection with the Ji family of Tang Dynasty. This is not only an arrangement for future hidden dangers, but also to avoid the trouble that may bring to the Ji family of Chang'an in the future.

Once you successfully establish your own country, this matter will basically not be hidden.If someone in the Tang Dynasty makes a fuss about it, it will not be a good thing for him or the Ji family of the Tang Dynasty.

He needs the long-term and stable cooperation of the Ji family of the Tang Dynasty, and in a sense, his existence adds a talisman to the main line.No one in a clan is willing to die for offending a clan that has someone outside to build a country.

He believed that even if the head of the family knew about this in the future, he would be happy to see the results. For the head of the family, he never worried about being plucked by the family.

"Very good, what we are going to do has never been done by anyone since ancient times. If you want to force it to be far-fetched, the state of Wu in the pre-Qin period is an example. But what is different from them is that we have a stronger foundation and the support of our family. , whether it’s talents or materials, these are not problems. Even if we fail by then, it doesn’t matter, the worst case scenario is to return to Datang.”

Ji Yao looked around and said in a serious voice: "But, what I want to say is, if you want to do it, then use all your strength to do it. Even if you fail, you will not regret it! The big cannibal is powerful, and Seld He is also a handsome man, but I don’t think he can defeat the head of the family.”

"We have reason to believe that there is a family leader in the Western Region, and Da Shi people can't get any benefits. But we can't all count on the family leader. That's why the family leader sent a large army to attack the rear of Da Shi. And we are familiar with Da Shi. With us Now, we will definitely be able to expand the results of the war quickly. The more chaotic the country is, the more beneficial it will be for us. Therefore, I want you to use all your skills to kill for me and cause earth-shaking."

Everyone looked excitedly at Ji Yao, the head of the family who led them to create miracles.

When they came to this foreign land with trepidation, they thought it would take a lot of time to gain a foothold. However, under the leadership of Ji Yao, they defeated one competitor after another and quickly accumulated a large amount of wealth by relying on their connections with the Central Plains. and power.

Not only did their business spread across major cities in Dashi, they also purchased large amounts of land in various places. They even had considerable influence in the Eastern Roman Empire.

In this way, when the family owners said that they wanted to build a kingdom belonging to them, how enthusiastic they were!
Here, there is no such thing as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. There is only the law of the jungle. If you are strong, you should have more wealth and wider land.You are weak, that is what you deserve!

"I will obey the order of the Patriarch!"
-
Between the mountains, a huge army was sneaking with difficulty. It was the dawn of the day, and there was already light on the horizon.When he saw a relatively flat place, Su Lie ordered the army to stop advancing.

"Go quickly and check the surrounding situation. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately!"

"promise!"

Soon, the army began to set up camp, and after eating, the army began to rest.

Just when Su Lie had arranged for the army to rest, a scout suddenly came to report.

"Manager, we caught a spy, but"

Seeing the strange color on the soldier's face, Su Lie was startled: "But what happened?"

"Yes, General, the other party can actually speak the Central Plains dialect, and it is also the authentic Guanzhong dialect."

Swish!
Su Lie immediately stood up excitedly and shouted: "Bring people here immediately, go quickly!"

While waiting, he immediately asked someone to call Xue Wanche. Xue Wanche, who was sleeping soundly, came to the tent with a curse and cursed at the beginning: "Are you sincere? I am sleeping soundly. Wake me up." , What are you worried about?"

Su Lie didn't want to get angry with him and said directly: "We may have met someone we can connect with."

"What? What kind of connector?"

Xue Wanche didn't react yet, but he soon remembered it, widened his eyes and said, "You said it was them?"

"You'll find out later!"

Soon, when the two of them were waiting impatiently, when the soldiers brought a man wearing foreign clothes, but looking like an authentic Chinese from the Central Plains, they no longer had any doubts in their hearts! "You all go down!"

The soldiers looked at each other, but when they saw the general's resolute attitude, they retreated outside the door.

After the irrelevant people left, the person they brought looked directly at them and said, "Dare you ask the names of the two generals!"

Su Lie and Xue Wanche looked at each other, and Su Lie said: "General Su Lie, this is General Xue Wanche!"

Hearing Su Lie's words, the other party looked surprised and said with relief: "Ji Wang is a member of the Ji clan. I have been waiting for the general for a long time on the orders of Ji Yao, the head of the Ji clan branch in Persia!"

"What? You said there is a branch of the Ji family here?"

Xue Wanche opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief.

You must know that this is a foreign land thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty. He knows that the Ji family has branches all over the Tang Dynasty, but who would have thought that he could meet members of the Ji family here?There is actually a branch here?
"It's a long story."

For a long time, after Ji Wang finished talking about the experience of this branch, even Su Lie's perseverance felt panicked.A member of the Ji family not only came here, but also took root here and developed well?

"I have informed the head of the family of the general's arrival, and he will come in person to discuss the next steps with the general."

"In addition, we have a castle not far away. We have a large amount of supplies stored in it. Someone will deliver it soon. General, please wait a moment!"

If the other party hadn't produced a wooden sign unique to Ji's family, they still wouldn't believe it was true?
But Su Lie was quite cautious. After arranging for Ji Wang, he immediately sent out a large number of scouts to investigate the situation. When he learned that many carriages were coming this way, he was even more surprised!
"What do you think we should do if there's a scam?"

Xue Wanche still can't believe it and is a little worried.

He glanced at the idiot and said angrily: "If the other party can really pull off a scam like this, even if he dies, it won't be unfair."

"That's right!" Xue Wanche said with an eyebrow.

At this time, the two of them were no longer sleepy. At noon, a group of carriages arrived at the station. Su Lie immediately went to greet them after hearing the news.In any case, since the party has given them such great help, he should personally welcome them.

Just now, the other party not only sent a large amount of grain, but also [-] sheep and [-] cattle.There is no need to thank the other party for such a great gift.

When he arrived outside the station, he saw one person waiting here. The person was wearing a Hanfu and wearing a crown. He was about twenty years old. If he hadn't been in a foreign land, he would have thought that he had come to the Central Plains and met a noble prince who was traveling.

The other party also saw Su Lie and his entourage. He calmly stepped forward and said, "Ji Yao, named Guiren, has met Uncle Xue and Uncle Su!"

"Huh? Do you recognize me?"

Xue Wanche was stunned for a long time and couldn't remember when they had met?
"Uncle Xue has come to my Ji's village many times. I was still young at that time, but I have met you a few times. I am just an ordinary member of the Ji clan. It is normal for my uncle not to know you."

"This is the first time I've met Uncle Su. I've long heard that Uncle Su was a rare general in the Tang Dynasty. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. He was able to go deep behind enemy lines regardless of safety. This kind of bravery and benevolence made me admire him very much. !”

Su Lie smiled and said: "It's just praise from the world, it can't be taken seriously, it can't be taken seriously."

"Who is your father?"

Xue Wanche suddenly said.

Ji Yao was stunned and said without hesitation: "The boy's father's name has the Chinese character for mountain!"

"Ji Shan? Are you Ji Shan's youngest son?"

He finally remembered, looked at the other person's face that obviously had a foreign look, and asked in surprise: "You have grown so big?"

Seeing the doubtful look in the other person's eyes, Xue Wanche stepped forward and hugged him and said: "Good boy, you have forgotten that I hugged you when you were a child. Your father was a rare wealthy businessman in Chang'an at that time. Anyone who wanted to buy meat would not follow him. Did your father deal with it? It’s not surprising that you don’t remember it. I remember that you were still two or three years old at that time. You looked like a porcelain doll, and you would be liked at first sight! "

Ji Yao was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly: "What about that, how about we go in and talk about it?"

"Hey, look at my memory. Come on, let's go in and have a good chat about how you've been living these past few years. Good guy, what do you think about running so far alone?"

"That's the thing. Although it was very difficult at the beginning, it's getting better now. Now my nephew has a lot of land, and there are mountains of food. Even the Eastern Roman Empire has many industries."

"So, don't be polite when you come. Just tell your nephew what you want to eat or drink, and I'll keep it to your satisfaction!"

After talking about his experiences over the years, he took charge of everything, as if all he had left was money, which made people want to beat him up.

But even if this kid downplays what happened, they are all people who have experienced the storm and know how difficult it is for a person to achieve something in a foreign country.From his words, we can know that these years have been full of ups and downs and have experienced many crises.

"I have suffered so much for you these years. When I get back, my uncle will talk to you about your bastard father. Why can he bear to let you run away so far?"

Ji Yao shook his head and said: "This is what my nephew wants to come. My father tried his best to stop it at first, but the kid is not willing to live an ordinary life. Although this place is dangerous, it is also full of opportunities. No, if he hadn't come here, the kid would have been here at most. When a small official in the Tang Dynasty lived a miserable life, how could it be as exciting as it is now?"

Speaking of this, he said with some emotion: "What's more, the head of the family didn't treat me badly. He even brought the soldiers of the Ji clan to me here. If they hadn't protected me all these years, I might have died at some point."

"In short, this is my kid's decision. No matter how difficult it is, I have to go for it on my own. I don't want to go back to Chang'an in despair. I can't afford to lose that person!"

Xue Wanche patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Good boy, it seems that you Ji clan members don't spend money wherever you go. Whether it's a branch of the Tang Dynasty or you, everyone makes money in a good way. Tell me, what's the matter? Any tips?"

Ji Yao smiled bitterly: "What's the trick? The clan stipulates that no one has a craft to make a living before reaching adulthood. Otherwise, even if it is listed in the family tree, he can only become an ordinary clan member. Only with more than one craft Only then can we get support from the clan, otherwise we will just have to wait for death!"

"Young man is not talented, he has three skills!" Ji Yao said with a smile.
