Chapter 762: Make a Deal


Under the city of Mayi, the 90,000-strong army of Tuli blocked the water of the siege of the city of Mayi, which was four miles in circumference.

If the city is not attacked today, it is still early, and some Turks will not be able to sit still.

According to the old practice, when you go to one place, you have to go to the grass valley.

The so-called grass grain is to search for and seize grain and grass on the spot for the enemy's grain.

Generally, the task of beating the grass valley is handed over to Hu Cong to do.

A sturdy cavalryman will not waste his physical strength and the physical strength of his war horse at will, and they will usually take two servants with them.

It could be his younger brother, or his older son, or his own house slave.

One of them was specially responsible for the grass valley, and everywhere he went, he went out with the other cavalrymen's servants to go out to the grass valley, plunder the village fairs, and loot grain.

The other servant was responsible for feeding and washing the horses for the cavalry, setting up tents for the cavalry to guard the camp, and even cooking for the cavalry.

These miscellaneous tasks of grabbing food and defending the camp were all done by the servants, and the cavalry were responsible for fighting, and the rest of the time was spent recuperating.

However, along the way, although the servants went out after camping every time, they couldn't find anything at all.

From Yinshan Mountain to the Great Wall, all the way over, it is like a ghost domain.

Originally, it was sparsely populated, but now it is often impossible to see a person for half a day.

Not to mention cattle and sheep and food for houses.

Even fetching water has become troublesome, many water sources have been destroyed, and they sometimes have to leave the main road and go to some places far away to find water.

"Go get some water, find fresh water, see clearly, don't soak the bad water of sick and dead cattle and sheep again."

A Turkic detachment wolf rider commanded his servants.

Some people didn't pay attention to it, and as a result, the water they brought back was polluted, and some people in the camp didn't boil the water, which caused many people to vomit and leak, and many people were pulled to death because of this, and many of them were weak and stayed in the rear, so they lost thousands of troops at once, plus the 5,000 Khitans who were lost before, plus the 100,000 strikers who stayed to take care of the wounded, and the 100,000 strikers who stayed behind to take care of the wounded, so they were reduced by 10%.

Now these Turks have also learned to be obedient, not to drink raw water, let people go to fetch water, but also to carefully investigate, but also to check whether there is poison, let the livestock taste first.

The cattle and sheep are fine, they have to boil the water before drinking, and they don't dare to drink raw water anymore.

"By the way, let's see if there is any grain and grass nearby, and if so, find a way to get some."

The knight looked at the backpack in his tent, which contained a bag of dry rations, some jerky and cheese, but not much.

And there is not much material for the horses, damn Nanban, the grass has almost burned these hundreds of miles, and the cattle and horses can't even chew some hay roots.

It all depends on the hay he carries, but there is even less grass left.

The knight's servants were two young men who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and these two men were actually the sons of the knight.

In the Central Plains, the two children may have been apprentices in shops or helping with farming at home.

But on the grassland, boys of this age have become men, they help shepherd sheep at home, help set horses, and in case of war, they follow their father to ride horses to the battlefield, become their subordinates, and learn war with them.

After a few wars, the children were older and would become knights.

But becoming a knight, especially a wolf rider, is not that simple.

They have to be able to kill at least one enemy soldier and take off his head when they are servants, so that they can be considered officially qualified to break away from the status of servants and become a warrior.

The two Turkic teenagers laughed and ran into the distance, always in this way, deciding who would go out to fight the grass valley.

The person who runs to the bolt horse the fastest gets a chance to get out.

They always prefer to go out and hunt grass valleys, which is more exciting, and he always hopes to cut off the first head as soon as possible.

"I won again."

The eldest mud said to his brother Rand with a smile.

He was a few months older than Rand, and these were brothers with different fathers and mothers, and the brother Mud was a little stronger than Rand.

Rand pouted in disappointment, "Next time, I'll definitely be able to win you." ” "Haha, then I won't know until the next competition, don't worry, if I can find the Han village market, I will definitely grab a lot of loot and come back, I know you like Han female slaves, I'll grab one for you when I arrive."

"No, keep what you grabbed for your own use, I'm going to grab one back with my own ability.

Anyway, this time we are going to Luoyang, I heard that there are many Han people in the Central Plains, as many as cattle and sheep.

When the time comes, you can grab as much as you want, whatever you want, I plan to grab ten and go back. ” The boss shook his head, "What's the use of robbing so many women, women don't need too much, it's good to have four or five, I want to grab more Han men and bring them back to herd cattle and sheep and shear sheep, they have a lot of strength and are much more useful." ” After saying that, the boss untied the reins of the horse and turned over on the horse.

In the distance, there were already servants of the same tribe shouting that they would meet and act together.

"Come back early, it's getting dark."

"It's okay when it's dark, the Han people here have long lost their hearts, how dare they resist.

I wish I could meet a few Han Chinese who resisted, preferably a Han soldier, so that I could cut off their heads and get the opportunity to compete on the grassland next year, and at that time, I would hopefully become an official affiliate. ” "Be careful, don't let the Han cut off your head."

"Shut your foul mouth, Rand, the Southern Barbarians don't have the ability to cut off my head."

With that, Mud swung his whip, and the brown-red horse galloped forward.

Nid caught up with his companions, left the camp together, and headed south.

Dacao Valley is generally near the big camp, and it is more casual, they are mostly more than 100 people in a team, spontaneously walking in groups, and most of the people in the team are older and bold.

Although most of the young men were teenagers, these newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, and they were fierce, even more fierce than the adult warriors.

All the way south, they rode their horses and ran merrily.

After leaving the camp, they were more unrestrained, more wanton, without the discipline of their fathers and brothers, they were free.

The horses had been running south for a long time, but there was not even a man to be seen. 、 "These southern barbarian dogs are so ruthless, they actually burned down all the villages, and no one was gone."

"It looks like there's no harvest today, what the hell."

Mud and his companions cursed that they hadn't gotten food for days, and that if they continued like this, there wasn't much to keep in stock.

"It's getting dark, or let's go back" "yes, it seems that these southern barbarians are too afraid of us, so they burned everything."

Mud shook his head, "I don't want to go back empty-handed like this, or I'll definitely be beaten by my father." ” "But it's dark."

"What are you afraid of, let's just light the torches, and if we go further south, I don't believe it, the southern barbarians have burned down all the villages.

Maybe someone is hiding in the valley woods, but if we find one, we will have a good harvest. ” Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Nid said excitedly, "You can't be cowardly and scared, right?"

Immediately a couple of Turkic teenagers jumped up, "Nonsense, how can we be afraid." ” "If you are not afraid, then you dare not go" "Go and go" A group of teenagers turned over and jumped on their horses, lit torches, then turned their horses' heads and continued their search south.

It's just that this night is destined to be a night without harvest, although they have been going south with torches, but at dawn, there is no harvest at all, they turn around in disappointment, hang their heads and sigh.

"There's movement there" Mud suddenly let out a low sigh.

A group of exhausted Turkic teenagers were shocked when they heard this.

"Where" "Over there, in that valley, there seem to be people."

"Ah, it's really good that we ran into the Southern Barbarians who were hiding, and now we finally don't have to go home empty-handed."

"Be quiet, let's sneak closer and touch to see how many people are there.

If there are too many people, we will send someone back to inform them, and if there are few people, we will do it ourselves.

"Nid De is tall and burly, although he is young, but in this group of teenagers, he has a faint temperament of a leader.

After some brief deliberation, it was decided to proceed with the Mud's approach.

They crept close to the valley, bows in hand, and ready to fight if something went wrong.

It was a small valley, and at the mouth of the valley was a wooded area, and in that woods a group of people had just woken up in the morning mist.

Some people are lighting fires, some are putting water, and some are feeding horses.

They were still cautiously approaching, when suddenly a sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a sharp arrow shot half a step in front of Nid's horse with a strong sound.

They all stopped their horses at once, and raised their bows.

"A friend on the other side, but a subordinate of the Turki Khan" Nid was surprised, the group of people on the other side were obviously Southern Barbarians, but why did they speak Turkic.

Several teenagers looked at each other, and finally Mud said, "They have found us, but they have not attacked, I think we can listen to them before making a decision." ” Nid has the courage to say such a thing, mainly because the team on the opposite side is not very numerous.

There are more than 100 people in the team of Nide, but there are only more than 10 people in the opposite team.

He believes that they will not suffer if they really fight, but since the other party is greeting in Turkic, it is better to listen to the situation first.

Approach carefully.

"Who are you?"

On the opposite side, a man with a curly beard stepped forward, he was wearing a silk robe, and a mink was draped over his shoulders, and what impressed Nid the most was that this person did not look like a Han man, with red hair, blue eyes and a high nose, but like a bearded man.

But the dozen or so people behind this person are all Han Chinese.

"We are friends, and I am on my way to see the Second Khan, and I have an important deal to discuss with him.

You're a subordinate of the Turki Khan, can you show us the way?"

Nid relaxed a little, but still asked, "Who are you?"

"I," the bearded man laughed, "I'm just a merchant, and now I have important deals to talk to the Khan of Tuli."

Rest assured, I am not an enemy, I am your friend. ” As he spoke, the merchant smiled and waved his hand, and behind him a Han man of unsightly appearance came over with a small box, stopped a few steps away from him, and then opened the box.

A golden light.

"This is a small gift, for all little brothers, not a tribute."

Mud looked at the golden light of the box and swallowed.

There are so many taels of gold, it is estimated that there are several hundred taels, and each of them can share a few taels.

A few taels of gold, for them, is not less.

"You're really going to see the Second Khan to talk about buying and selling at this time" "That's right, little brother, if you take us to see the Khan, we will still have a lot of thanks when we arrive."

The bearded man said with a smile.

Mudd was a little moved, he turned his head and discussed in a low voice with a few of his companions, and finally he felt that there were only a few people on the other side anyway, and they did look like merchants.

You might as well take them to the camp, anyway, just these few people, they can't make any waves when they get to the camp, if they really talk to the Khan about business, then they won't have time to go back this time. t1706231537:
