Chapter 300: If you have money, you can buy anything you want
Chapter 300: If you have money, you can buy anything you want
No one cares whether they live or die.
Two years passed like this.
It's been two years.
There is not a single common person in the world who does not hope that this endless war will end soon so that they can have some breathing time.
Under such circumstances, the emergence of a wise ruler like King Xiaoshan naturally became the person that countless people had been looking forward to, the one who could stabilize the world.
Therefore, wherever Xie Lin went, many people surrendered.
Of course, there are still some people who are unwilling to surrender.
It seemed like the generals who were enjoying generous treatment from the enemy were unwilling to surrender. Instead, they ordered their soldiers to stop Xie Lin even if they had to fight to the last man.
For such people, Xie Lin would usually just lift them up without even blinking.
On the evening of the fifth day after Xia Chan and his companions left Xiaoshan City, Xie Lin received an urgent message from Zhao He, which was sent over a hundred miles away.
It is said that Xia Chan took his people to Mobei.
The moment Xie Lin saw the news, his brows frowned and his face darkened.
At this moment they are resting outside Chang'an City.
After preparing to rest, we will take Chang'an in one go.
But unexpectedly, his wife went to Mobei alone with the children.
Xie Lin had a rough idea of what she was going to do.
Xie Lin also knew her abilities.
But even though he knew that Xia Chan was very strong, so strong that she didn't need anyone's protection, he still wanted to go to her immediately and protect her behind him.
But now, he really can't leave.
“Wen Hao…”
Xie Lin frowned and called Xie Wenhao over.
Xie Wenhao stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Marshal."
When there are outsiders around, no matter whether it is Xie Wenhao or Xie Wenjun, they will not call Xie Lin uncle.
They all called Xie Lin by his military nickname.
This means doing business impartially.
Xie Lin nodded slightly, "Take an elite group to Tongtian Pass to pick up your aunt."
"Young aunt?"
Xie Wenhao was shocked when he heard this. "She went to Mobei?"
"Yes."
"Uncle, what about Huanhuan..."
Xie Wenhao was a little out of control.
There's no way. Who made the news Xie Lin said so shocking?
The Mobei Royal Court was determined to fight them to the death this time.
According to the spies, the Mobei royal court has gathered 500,000 troops, with the vanguard Zhennan King leading 200,000 troops. The Mobei King personally led 200,000 troops to follow.
Another 100,000 troops were led by the left and right princes to provide mobile support.
The goal is to swallow Chang'an in one breath!
Occupy Chang'an, and then head south to command the princes of the world...
It is no exaggeration to say that Mobei has mobilized all its forces this time.
Under such circumstances, his fiancée and his young aunt went to Mobei alone...
This made Xie Wenhao unable to help but be shocked.
Xie Lin said coldly, "Your aunt is not a reckless person. You just need to bring people to support and follow her arrangements."
"Yes!"
Xie Wenhao did not hesitate. He immediately turned around and left the tent to count the number of people and rush to Tongtian Pass.
Xie Lin watched Xie Wenhao's back disappear outside the big tent, and he couldn't help but let out a breath.
Seeing this, Bai Xuan on the side said hesitantly, "My Lord, do you need to go pick up the princess?"
"Need not."
Seeing that the war was about to begin, he couldn't let so many soldiers down because of his own affairs.
Besides, he believed in Chanchan.
"Chanchan, she can handle it."
Xie Lin whispered softly.
I don’t know if he is telling Bai Xuan or talking to myself?
In short, he did not immediately lead his troops to bypass Chang'an and rush to Tongtian Pass.
As for why the Prince of Zhennan had been keeping his troops there and not heading to Chang'an, he guessed that the other party wanted to wait for him to fight the three princes in Chang'an to the death, and then come out to reap the benefits?
Xie Lin sneered.
"Arrange a team of elite troops to head to Stone City!"
When going from Tongtian Pass to Chang'an, you must pass through Shitou City.
Xie Lin sent people to ambush in Stone City.
Not to mention annihilating all the Mobei soldiers, just let them block them for a while or act as a vanguard.
After he took Chang'an, he turned around and sent people to support him.
Bai Xuan nodded.
"Yes."
.........
At this moment.
Xia Chan and her friends also arrived at Stone City.
Shitoucheng originally belonged to Daqing and was under the jurisdiction of Chang'an.
But now there are three vassal kings in Chang'an, and everyone wants the territory of Chang'an, and no one wants to intervene here.
So this place has become a rather chaotic place.
Although there are still people in charge, it is still very chaotic.
It was almost night and no one dared to come out.
Without a curfew, no one would dare to come out.
Robbers and thieves can be seen everywhere on the streets.
A good town has become like this.
There are many empty courtyards in the city because people fled early for fear of losing their lives in the war.
Xia Chan went to the prefectural government and bought a total of ten shops on both sides of a street for a very cheap price.
Oh, it’s not that cheap.
Ten two-story shops with courtyards cost Xia Chan ten thousand taels of silver.
The price during the war was almost ten times lower than before the war.
So it can be considered a very low price, right?
After putting away the deed, Xia Chan turned around and was about to leave.
"This lady."
The prefect who was in charge of the matter rang out from behind her, "Now Stone City has almost become a deserted city. You bought so many shops at this time. If they are destroyed in the war..."
The prefect wanted to say that they were irresponsible.
Not to mention that he was responsible, seeing that the Mobei army was about to arrive, he was also ready to pack up and escape.
By the time Stone City is occupied by people from Mobei, Xia Chan's money will be given in vain.
After all, taking back a shop from the people in Mobei is harder than climbing to the sky, right?
Xia Chan hadn’t thought of this before.
After hearing what the prefect said, she turned around and walked back, took out a gold ingot weighing one hundred taels from her wide sleeves and slapped it on the table.
"How much does it cost to buy the entire Yongning Street?"
"what?"
The prefect didn't expect that his persuasion failed to convince Xia Chan, but instead made her want to buy the entire street.
"Madam... do you know... what is going on now?"
The prefect's voice trembled a little.
Xia Chan tilted her head slightly and said, "It's just that Stone City is almost becoming an empty city!"
Since the city is already deserted, there shouldn't be any problem for her to buy all those shops that are being sold at a low price, right?
"no……"
The prefect, who had already planned to flee immediately, frowned and said, "No, madam, everyone is fleeing now! This place is going to become a battlefield, and you still want to buy so many shops, you..."
He really wanted to know what was going on in the mind of the young woman in front of him.
It would have been fine if she didn't run away when others did, but she actually wanted to build up a large business in a place that was about to become a battlefield. Isn't there something wrong with her brain?
