To fight a war is to make a fortune, Gu Chensha deeply understands this.
Although the wealth of thousands of boxes under the ground has not been liquidated, it must be estimated to be in the tens of millions. Although such a huge amount of wealth is not comparable to that of those wealthy families who have accumulated for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, it is not ordinary. The local tyrants are comparable.
Of course, if he didn't have the space for the Sun and Moon Altar, he would put the wealth in quickly and eat it all by himself. I'm afraid it would be difficult. At that time, there will definitely be princes fighting in the name of the court, but now he pretends not to know, and no one can check it. .
But even though he made a fortune, he was not satisfied, because the expenses in the future would not be small, first of all, the training of these two hundred and forty-three soldiers, food and drink expenses, and in the future they would all have their own families, marry wives and have children, set up a family business, He is required to provide for and reward, and besides, training needs, weapons, and salary are not small expenses every month.
Among the wealthy nobles, real warriors and armored soldiers don't need to do chores. They practice martial arts every day and carry out their master's fighting tasks. They even have servants to serve them. If they are real masters, they also have their own manors. They are completely superior.
It costs at least several thousand yuan a year to raise such a soldier, that is, thousands of taels of silver. This does not include rewards.
As for the five of Liu Yu, after Gu Chensha returned, he would definitely give them a house and a small manor, so that they could have a family business. This is the rule of the nobility. Only when you are given land and a manor can it show that you are your loyal retainer and cannot be shaken. You can't betray, if you betray, you will be cast aside, and you will never be able to raise your head again.
After everything was ready, Gu Chensha jumped up from the ground, "Yiming, from now on, you should be honest, hide your strength, don't come forward, and never expose it."
"Yes." Yoshiaki hid his breath, no different from those two hundred and forty-three people.
As expected, within two days of counting here, countless cavalry appeared on the road, rolling like dragons in anger, and the dust they raised went straight into the sky.
Leading hundreds of people, all of them were imposing. The one in the front was wearing a cloak, no armor, and a purple gold crown, riding on a huge golden horse. It was the third prince, Gu Fansha.
That huge golden horse, with scales all over and horns on its head, is even more handsome than the thunder beast of the barbarian marshal.
"Surround the county town, search one by one, all property is released, no private possession is allowed, otherwise there will be no mercy!" Arriving outside the county town, the third prince issued a murderous order, and Gu Chensha, Shi Zhongtie and others all had expressions on their faces. Change, this is obviously to them, warning them not to hide it.
"The third one is so domineering." Gu Chensha sneered: "But I have expected this trick a long time ago, you can search, the bamboo basket fetches water in vain."
He desperately killed the enemy and broke through the county seat. The third prince, Gu Fansha Kankan, arrived just to receive the wealth.
Gu Fansha was originally afraid of the barbarian god envoys and never sent troops, but now he came to pick peaches when he saw no danger. Although this kind of behavior is disdainful, it is also official practice.
Those soldiers immediately rushed into the county like wolves and tigers, ignoring the iron in the stone and the ancient dust resting nearby, and started searching everywhere.
"Hahahaha..." The third prince, Gu Fansha, entered the city with a big laugh, and walked towards Gu Chensha. Surrounded by densely packed soldiers, they vaguely surrounded the thousand people and prevented them from moving: "Old Nineteen, are you really You will take advantage of the explosion in Taoxian County, and you will come here immediately, and you will get the credit for recovering Taoxian County."
As soon as this remark came out, Gu Chensha knew that the old man was very insidious, and he described his behavior as taking advantage of it, and the implication was obvious, that is, after the explosion, the barbarian army retreated, and he regained Tao County.
But he didn't argue with the third child, it was meaningless, anyway, as long as the body of the barbarian marshal was handed over, it would be a feat, and the county king's hat couldn't escape.
Gu Chensha didn't care, but his subordinates were unconvinced and very annoyed, but he had explained in advance that he didn't care about it and only carried out orders, so they didn't move.
"Old Nineteen, your subordinates are not simple. They even wear horned dragon armor. Even I don't have this kind of armor." Looking at it in a blink of an eye, Gu Fansha's eyes were sharp, "I heard that it was given to you by the Lord of the Giant Stone Yes, there are 300 sets. You don’t have many people under your command right now. You might as well lend me the extra. I will equip the soldiers so that they will not be injured in the next battle with the barbarian army. For the lives of the soldiers, you will not do this, old nineteen. Be stingy."
"Where is the third brother? The Marquis of Jushi also lent me, but there are not so many sets of 300 sets. It is more than 200 sets at the moment, which is just enough. After the battle is over, I will return it to Marquis Jushi. Where is the extra? Lend it to the third brother." Gu Chensha refused to admit it after beating him to death, he sneered in his heart, this Gu Fansha had already started to attack him, and he was pressing every step of the way, but he would never be fooled.
"Shi Zhongtie, is what Master Nineteen said true?" Gu Fansha looked at Shi Zhongtie.
"Third Lord, everything was ordered by Lord Hou, and the general is only here to serve and kill the enemy." This stone Zhongtie is also a human spirit, knowing what can be said and what can't be said, he speaks as hard as iron and stone.
Gu Fansha's expression was cold, and he looked Shi Zhongtie up and down. He was always life-threatening, with great majesty. Even the Governor was sweating profusely and trembling under his gaze. Shi Zhongtie still responded calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Okay, Shi Zhongtie, I order you to immediately lead the troops to attack Cha County and attack the barbarians over there." Gu Fansha suddenly ordered: "I will arrive at any time, and you will be the vanguard."
"Third Master, before I came, Master Hou said that everything should be controlled by Lord Nineteen." Shi Zhongtie still refused to enter.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Gu Fansha narrowed his eyes.
"At the end of the day, I will obey Master Nineteen's restraint." Shi Zhongtie said loudly.
"Okay, very good, come here!" Gu Fansha's voice raised a lot, and the murderous look and majesty made the surrounding atmosphere dare not come out.
"Why should the third brother be angry? The military order of Jushihou is like a mountain, and Shi Zhongtie dare not disobey." Gu Chen said: "Since the strategic plan of the third brother asked us to go to Cha County, then I will take people there, and everyone will work for the court. , there is no need to pay for this, Shi Zhongtie, pass on my order, pack your bags, and set off for Cha County!"
"Yes!" Shi Zhongtie, like a wooden puppet, faithfully carried out the order.
"Third brother, I'm leaving now. You will guard Taoxian County." Gu Chensha took the lead to lead his troops to withdraw from Taoxian County.
The surrounding area was completely surrounded, but when the general saw him leading people over, he couldn't help looking at Gu Fansha, blocking or not blocking.
Gu Fansha frowned, and thought for a while: "Old Nineteen, if you are greedy for merit and delay the opportunity to fight, no matter how much credit you have made, you can wipe it out."
"Third Brother, I understand." Gu Chensha nodded.
Gu Fansha waved his hand.
The surrounding soldiers made way for Gu Chensha's men to pass, and then galloped towards Cha County.
"Third Master, why did you let him leave so easily?" A confidant general next to him asked, "What's the matter with getting those three hundred sets of horned dragon armor?"
"It's a gift from Lord Jushi to win over the old nineteenth, and you will be criticized if you grab it, and the things belonging to Lord Jushi are not so easy to grab." Gu Fansha watched a group of people leave: "I deliberately oppressed just now, just to see The old nineteen hole card, dare to contradict me, he killed the four old demons, and broke through Tao County, he definitely has a strong backing, but he deliberately showed weakness, but he didn't have any timidity in his heart, which made me feel confident, so I let it go He leaves."
"Your Highness, I quickly searched around and found no property, only a lot of swords and leather armor left by barbarian soldiers." At this time, the general who was ordered to search for the treasure came.
"Your Highness, we found an underground treasure house, but it is empty, and it seems that it has been removed."
Someone came to report again.
"What?" Gu Fansha was slightly startled: "I let go of the nineteenth so readily because of the treasure house here. I have already had information that the barbarian army sent a lot of materials to store here, and the nineteenth didn't take anything with me when I left. , I also have intelligence surveillance these two days, it is impossible for him to transport all the supplies away, why not now?"
"Your Highness, indeed not." Several subordinates also looked very ugly. Originally, they also wanted to make a fortune, but it's a pity that the place is clean.
"There are at least tens of millions worth of wealth here, and there are many rare treasures that can't be bought with money, but they disappeared for no reason?" Gu Fansha's face was livid: "What's going on here? Are you sure that the old nineteen There is no large-scale transfer of property?"
"Third Master, I'm sure." A general knelt down on one knee: "Our spies are everywhere. This wealth cannot be transported without a team of thousands of people. He doesn't have enough people now. Among the thousands of big boxes, each of those big boxes needs five or six people to carry them, and even a car to transport them. There are no traces of wheels here, so it is impossible for His Highness the Nineteenth to get involved."
"This matter is a bit strange. Could it be that this wealth was brought back when the barbarians retreated? Impossible, the portal cannot go back, it is a one-way transmission." Gu Fansha took a square step, "Also, the envoy, Where did the marshal go? Did they all die in the explosion? I am really puzzled, there is a lot of weirdness in the old nineteen."
"Third Master, what should we do now?" Several generals surrounded him, waiting for His Highness's order.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Old Nineteen. It must be weird for him to leave so quickly." Gu Fansha's murderous look made people terrified: "This wealth cannot fall into anyone's hands. With this wealth, I can Do a lot of things."
At this time, in the depths of the mountain forest, Gu Chensha's team was resting. Instead of going to Chaxian County, they turned back to the mountain to rest.
"Master Nineteen, are we not following His Highness's order?" Shi Zhongtie asked.
"The third child wants to command me, but it's not that easy." Gu Chensha said deliberately, he knew that Jushihou and the third prince were fighting, and he acted tougher in front of Shi Zhongtie, and it was easier to get the support of Jushihou: "The third is in such a hurry They came here just to get the wealth left by the barbarians, but it’s a pity to fetch water from a bamboo basket.”
Shi Zhongtie was also very puzzled. He didn't see what wealth Gu Chensha got. He is a smart man, and he would not ask for secrets. He would only go back and report the truth to Marquis Jushi. That's enough.
"Master Nineteen, how do we plan next?"
"It's very simple. Write a memorial, saying that I broke Tao County, killed thousands of enemies, beheaded the barbarian marshal, and dedicated the body of the barbarian marshal. Based on this, I can get great credit. The third child wants to compete with me , I'll see how he fights." Gu Chensha smiled.
