Honglou: I am the legitimate son of An Guogong!

Afterwards, Jia Hong left Ranna’s tent。

Follow the maid for a while and walk to a large blue and white tent at the back, guarded by several guards with swords outside.。

After entering the tent, Jia Hong raised his eyes and saw Ermin. He was about forty years old and had a strong build, looking like a tough guy in the desert.。

“Sir, people have brought it。”

Ermin raised his head slightly and hummed, raising his hand to ask the maid to leave.。

“sit. "Ermin raised his hand and said。

“I heard that you are a businessman from the east? Where is your home and how do you usually do business?”

Jia Hong sat on the blanket cushion and said nonsense: "My home used to be in Tangnu Ulianghai, but now I have no fixed place. I travel back and forth between the Tsarist Kingdom, Mobei and Wu Dynasty, living wherever I go."。”

“Um? Ermin became curious after hearing this, "The Uighurs, the ancestors of the Uighurs, indeed once lived in Tangnu Ulianghai." Nowadays it is rarely heard of。”

“No wonder your accent sounds so weird。”

Jia Hong naturally laughed and let Ermin think about it, "Indeed. People often said this after coming to Huozhou.。”

Ermin threw a few tea leaves into the milk pot, put it on the fire to boil, and then poured a cup of milk tea in front of Jia Hong.。

“Have you had any contact with Wu Dynasty recently?”

Jia Hong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and thought, What a good topic!

“Yes, when I came from the east, I just went to Anxi of the Wu Dynasty and took some preserved fruits, dried meat and fruit wine.。”

“Does Mr. Ermin have anything to ask?”

Ermin took a sip of milk tea, nodded and said: "Well - the Wu Dynasty army, have you heard anything?。”

Jia Hong pretended to be nervous and said: "That posture is a bit big! A few months ago, a team of light cavalry from Moxi was ambushed in Barkol. The Wu Dynasty had more than a thousand people and killed tens of thousands of people in Moxi!”

“I passed by there once! There were corpses everywhere, haha, I even picked up two pieces of armor.。”

Ermin was immediately embarrassed when he heard this and said: "It won't be that many people will die, at most more than a thousand people will die."。”

Jia Hong chuckled, waved his hand and said: "That's almost it! Master, you still have to be careful. Huozhou is too close to Zhenyuan。”

“When I went to Anxi, rows of Wu Dynasty soldiers were about to leave the customs. I heard that there were at least hundreds of thousands of troops. I might call you someday.。”

Ermin finally figured it out. The young man in front of him was not very sensitive to numbers.。

He raised his eyes and said: "Oh - that's right. We might start fighting one day.。”

Jia Hong asked: "What is the master's plan? Are Moxi's troops in Huozhou enough to cope with it?"”

Ermin said casually: "If the Wu Dynasty really has hundreds of thousands of combat troops coming, Moxi will stop fighting as soon as possible.。”

“The people you see a lot on the road are usually transporters and cooks. If they are really used for fighting, these soldiers will just run away. When the Wu Dynasty went on an expedition to the west, there would be more than 100,000 people at most.。”

“Huozhou is worthy of having two thousand permanent residents. Counting the tribesmen, there are four thousand more. There are more Dihua, just so-so. Moxi doesn’t pay so much attention to it。”

“That's it! That's a lot of trouble! "Jia Hong expressed deep concern.。

Ermin shook his head and said: "I am a small tribe in the northwest. How many times have my ancestors moved? I would rather not get involved in the affairs of Moxi and the Wu Dynasty in the Central Plains.。”

Jia Hong took a sip of milk tea and said: "That's true. The war here is not of much benefit to ordinary people. Perhaps the Great Khan of Moxi was too impulsive! The attack on Guge aroused a strong reaction within the Wu Dynasty.。”

Ermin sighed, shook his head and said: "If the situation in Wu Dynasty is so fierce as you said, just take the tribe and run away. Moxi's jurisdiction over Huozhou is very loose. It's too far away and they can't control it.。”

“That's all, that's all. Ermin waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter." What are your plans for my daughter Ranna?”

“this……”Jia Hong was very embarrassed and said: "To be honest with Mr. Ermin, I was just passing by today. I am an ordinary businessman and I dare not have any extra thoughts about the lady."。”

Instead, Ermin chuckled and said: "Zanna is my little daughter. My mother left after giving birth to her. I heard that she even let you into the tent. Why do you say that again? She thinks it's fine, it doesn't matter if I am the father!"”

“You, a young man, besides being a big talker, are actually quite good. If you stay in the tribe, you can indeed be taught how to lead troops. Even if we want to continue doing business, the tribe can support it.。”

Jia Hong was puzzled. After boasting for a while, he asked about the situation in Huozhou.。

But why does Ermin really want to marry his daughter to him! And the professor leads the troops? Do you still support Hongshang business? What a great way to recruit a son-in-law!

However, suddenly, an idea flashed in Jia Hong's mind, and he hurriedly asked: "Master Ermin, we will talk about this later."。”

“Let me ask you a situation. Can the entire tribe move to the territory of Wu Dynasty?”

“The situation in Wu Dynasty, especially around the Great Wall, was much more stable than in Moxi.。”

Ermin was shocked when he heard this. He frowned and said: "If you say yes, it will definitely be yes. No matter what, the Central Plains Dynasty has always controlled the Western Regions. Compared with the nomadic Mongols, life is still much easier.。”

“However, your statement is too whimsical. How could the Wu Dynasty accept it? Furthermore, no matter how stable the Wu Dynasty was, how could the land be taken away? Fighting for land with the Wu Dynasty people?”

Jia Hong touched his chin and pretended to be confused for a while.。

Then he said: "Master Ermin, let's do this! After leaving, I will go to Wu Dynasty to sell goods. Then I will go to Zhenyuan to see the officials of Wu Dynasty.。”

“The migration of our tribe will be good for the Wu Dynasty! There is no reason not to accept it!”

“Tell me? Ermin said with wide eyes.。

Jia Hong rubbed his chin and said slowly: "Once the northwest of Wu Dynasty is sparsely populated, we will definitely be able to arrange the farm matters."。”

“Secondly, if one tribe is willing to submit, more and more tribes will naturally be willing! Wu Chao can concentrate its strength to fight against Moxi!”

“Furthermore, if the Wu Dynasty really wanted to attack Moxi, the tribe must be familiar with the surrounding terrain. The tribe provided a small group of soldiers, and the Wu Dynasty could not refuse!”

After a brief explanation, Jia Hong added: "After the Ermin tribe surrendered to the Wu Dynasty, they set an example and took the lead. Maybe there will be more favorable treatment."。”

“Moreover, even if the war ends in the end, if the Wu Dynasty arranges to move back, the locals of the tribe will still need to govern!”

The more Ermin listened, the brighter his eyes became!

Jia Hong's words were completely different from his bragging earlier!

There are real benefits to this!

As a tribal leader, he must want to protect his people。

According to Jia Hong, it is indeed more beneficial for the Ermin tribe to submit to the Wu Dynasty!

Jia Hong could clearly see Ermin's reaction. Haha, you want me to be your son-in-law? forget it! Why don't you submit to my court, it will be easier for my father-in-law!

At this time, Ermin's mouth opened slightly, and she felt a little excited in her heart.。

But he still endured it, thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Xian son-in-law! What you said is extremely appropriate.。”

“But the biggest problem turned out to be the Moxi army in Huozhou. If forced to relocate, with the tribe’s size of more than a thousand households, it would be impossible not to attract attention.。”

“Even if one day we move with our tribe, we will have to pay the price with our lives!”

“But if you submit to the Wu Dynasty, do you think there is a foolproof way?”

The corners of Jia Hong's mouth couldn't help but twitch. The title of "virtuous son-in-law" was really too affectionate for Ermin to call him!

He suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, taking the overall situation into consideration and said: "Master, I think so!”

“If you really consider surrendering in order to protect your tribe and people, then you only need to express your willingness to surrender in advance!”

“When the Wu Dynasty dispatched troops from Zhenyuan City, it only needed to send a small team to join forces and cooperate with logistical supplies to help capture Huozhou.。”

“Master, you also said that in Huozhou City, there are not even as many soldiers in Moxi as there are in the tribe! If the tribe doesn't cause trouble, how much trouble can the Wu Dynasty save!”

Hearing this, Ermin took a deep breath.。

The more I look at Jia Hong, the more satisfied I am with this son-in-law who fell from the sky!

“well! Ermin patted Jia Hong heavily on the shoulder, "He is really a good man who travels all over the world!" The stakes are explained very clearly!”

“If I hadn’t often gone to Wu Dynasty to do business, I wouldn’t have had this kind of insight!”

Ermin thought for a moment and said: "Just... try it as you said.。”

“A good son-in-law! After your marriage to Ranna, you can contact Zhenyuan City!”

Wedding strip! Jia Hong was sweating profusely!

He said righteously and solemnly: "No, no! Master, how can we be more anxious about marriage than important matters in the clan!”

“I think this should be done sooner rather than later! I'll leave tomorrow...no, I'll leave in the afternoon!”
