Chapter 397: Do you want to rob the military camp?
"You are such a waste! You can't even do such a small thing. What should we do now?" Shen Chongshan's face turned red and he kicked the stool next to him.
Shen Chongshan was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room: "I always feel that this incident is a bit similar to the last time. Why is it so weird?"
Su Yu had been silent the whole time, but now he nodded slowly and said thoughtfully, "I also feel that something is fishy. Could it be that someone is targeting us from behind and deliberately causing this chaos?"
Shen Chongshan kept tapping the table with his hands: "Who could it be? Who is behind this?"
Su Yu shook his head slowly:
“We don’t know yet, but as long as they take action, they will always leave clues, and it will be exposed sooner or later.
The most urgent task is to resolve the issue with the Xiongnu."
Shen Chongshan sighed and said, "Then what do you say we should do? The current situation is simply a mess!"
Su Yu took a deep breath and said:
"We must be on good terms with the Xiongnu, there is no doubt about that. Otherwise, we will not be able to gain benefits from them, let alone support our army.
The current imperial court is so busy taking care of itself that it has no time to take care of the army. The army needs money to maintain daily expenses, food to fill its stomachs, and even more so, sophisticated weapons and equipment.
Without these, the army would be like a toothless tiger, completely powerless. If a war breaks out, what will we use to resist the enemy? "
Su Yu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he couldn't help but blurt out:
“I do have a good idea, I still have to use Huo Jun.
Let's provide more support to Huo Jun. With his abilities, he will be able to contain the Huns.
You know, he hates the Xiongnu, and the Huo family has had a blood feud with the Xiongnu for generations."
Shen Chongshan frowned slightly when he heard this and questioned, "Will Huo Jun be so obedient? He is not someone who can be manipulated by others. This matter may not be that simple."
After hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but chuckle, with a confident expression on his face, and said:
"Have you forgotten the generations of hatred between the Huo family and the Xiongnu? That's not something that can be easily let go.
Huo Jun grew up listening to the bloody stories of his ancestors and witnessed the brutality of the Huns with his own eyes. The tragic death of his family was an unforgettable pain for him.
As long as we show him that we are sincere in helping him to seek revenge and provide him with the support he needs, he will spare no effort to fight against the Huns.
Driven by hatred, he will cooperate more than we imagine, and this hatred is the most powerful bargaining chip in our hands."
Huo Jun stood on a tree in the military camp, trembling with anger. He never imagined that he would become a chess piece, and his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism became a weakness.
Soon everyone in the military camp was knocked unconscious. Actually, Lin Wanwan didn't want to do this, but now the milk candy, milk tea, and pacifier no longer listened to her.
Lin Wanwan said helplessly: "What on earth do you want to do? Are you planning to rob the military camp?"
Milk tea laughed out loud and said, "Robbery of the military camp..."
Huo Jun, along with several hundred of his men, said, "Let's see if their barracks are really so poor that they can't even afford to eat."
But as soon as you step into the warehouse, you will see mountains of food and all kinds of grain, with sacks stacked up layer by layer, reaching the ceiling of the warehouse.
On the side, the clothes issued by the army were neatly stacked, layer upon layer, in an orderly manner, enough to equip an entire army.
"This is what they said about there being nothing in the military camp. What are these things? How could this old dog Shen Chongshan do this?" Jiang Lin said with red eyes.
The other soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and began to accuse:
"I never thought they were so wicked! We are so poor that we can barely afford to eat.
But they hoarded so much food and refused to share any with us.
This time they only gave us a tiny bit, this is like sending away beggars!"
Huo Jun stood aside, his eyes red with anger. This winter, too many brothers could not survive, and some even starved to death.
Others lost their lives to diseases in the severe cold. Those tragic scenes made Huo Jun feel heartbroken.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred, waved his hand violently, and roared, "Move all these things back!"
The soldiers had been holding back their anger for a long time, and upon hearing the order, they gathered their strength and rushed towards the warehouse.
Bags of food and bundles of clothing were carried onto the army's carriages. Everyone worked together and the transportation was quick and orderly.
The stables in the army were opened and thousands of horses poured out one by one.
These horses are usually well-trained, but at this moment they were a little at a loss. They stood blankly in the open space, paddling the ground with their hooves restlessly and neighing.
Cheese stood in front of the horses and kept talking to them.
As time passed, the horses, which were initially restless, gradually calmed down.
Their originally confused eyes became docile, and one after another, they slowly lowered their heads towards the cheese, willingly submitting.
Led by Cheese, thousands of horses marched in an orderly manner towards their camp.
The sound of horse hooves clattered, raising a light cloud of dust, and the scene was spectacular.
Master Bai brought a group of people to Shen Chongshan's tent.
This tent is very tall and stands out among the many military tents.
Master Bai stretched out his hand and pushed open the door curtain of the tent. A light and elegant sandalwood scent wafted in his face, refreshing him.
As they stepped into the tent, a warm atmosphere instantly enveloped everyone, forming a sharp contrast with the ice and snow outside.
Inside the tent, the floor is covered with thick carpets, which are soft and comfortable to step on, showing luxury.
At the four corners of the tent, there were blazing charcoal braziers, the flames jumping happily, lighting up the entire tent.
There are several huge military maps hanging on the walls, densely marked with various symbols and routes, showing the identity and responsibilities of the owner of the tent.
In the center of the tent, there was a large solid wooden table, piled with various military documents and letters.
Master Bai and Prime Minister Liu picked up the documents and letters and examined them carefully.
Master Bai's face instantly turned as dark as ink, and he gritted his teeth and spat out four words: "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! This Shen Chongshan really doesn't want to live anymore!"
His eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he stared at the letters.
The content was shocking. Between the lines were all evidence of Shen Chongshan's secret collusion with the Xiongnu Kingdom. The transaction terms, the time and place of the secret meeting, one by one, were all ironclad evidence.
Liu Xiang found another sheepskin map. When he unfolded it, he saw the location of a mine marked on it.
This mine is not simple. It is actually a tin mine, and tin has a wide range of uses.
It is a key raw material for making bronze. After adding tin, the hardness and toughness of bronze are greatly improved, which can create sharper and more durable weapons.
From long swords to armor, with the blessing of tin, the army's combat effectiveness was enhanced.
