Chapter 109: A misunderstanding However, the Great Elder seemed to understand something, and pulled up the young man named Lu Zhu: "Lu Zhu, did you personally see the tens of thousands of troops?"
” Lu Zhu nodded hurriedly, and said with fear on his face: "Yes, I was grazing cattle outside just now, and I saw many people in the distance rushing towards our tribe, and I didn't even care about the cattle, so I rode back to report the news." ” "Has anyone else seen it but you?"
The Grand Elder continued to ask.
Lu Zhu shook his head: "No, I was the only one there to herd cattle at that time, Ah Zhe and Ha Wu were both on the side of Xishan." ” "When you saw Tang Jun, how far was it from you?"
"It should be dozens of miles."
When the Great Elder heard this, he threw Lu Zhu on the ground and scolded with a smile: "You stupid, you almost didn't scare me to death." ” He turned around and said, "Don't worry, it's not the enemy who came, and there aren't so many Tang people." ” Wu Zheren, who was crying bitterly, immediately perked up and said, "Great Elder, what do you mean by this?
Is there a turning point for the better?
” The Great Elder pulled Lu Zhu and said, "Don't forget, it's Lu Zhu who reported the news, but he doesn't know how to count, and his eyes are not good, so it's very likely that there aren't so many people he sees." ” "Phew, how did I forget this stubble?"
Wu Zheren's panic suddenly disappeared, and he kicked Lu Zhu's ass: "Bastard boy, you almost didn't scare me to death." ” "Patriarch, don't blame Lu Zhu, after all, he is also kind."
"yes, it's not his fault that he doesn't know how to count."
"Okay, there's nothing to do, Lu Zhu, you should go back first, we still have something to discuss." “......”
"No, Great Elder, there are really a lot of people."
Lu Zhu said anxiously: "Although my eyes are not good, I can still see the smoke and dust in the distance, I really don't know how to count, but the smoke and dust raised by that team is very large, almost covering half of the sky, there is no scale of more than 10,000 people, it is impossible to raise such a large amount of smoke and dust." ” "What?
Why didn't you say it earlier?
My heart ......"
Wu Zheren said and covered his heart and was about to fall down again, but the Great Elder lay on the ground and listened for a while, stood up and said: "It's really okay, if tens of thousands of people gallop fast, they will definitely be able to hear the sound, but there is no sound from the ground, which means that this team is walking very slowly, which is not the style of the Tang Army."
And even if it is the Tang Army, it must be the infantry, and the infantry against the cavalry, even if we can't beat it, we can run. ” "So what do we do now?"
When Wu Zheren heard this, his heart attack was immediately cured: "Shall we send someone to investigate?"
” "Definitely yes, see if the person who comes is the enemy or ......"
"Patriarch, Great Elder, it's not good."
Before the Great Elder could finish speaking, another man rushed into the big tent shouting and shouting.
Before this person could stand firm, Wu Zheren grabbed him by the collar and scolded, "What are you panicking about?
Come on, what's going on, who is the enemy?
Is it cavalry or infantry?
How far are we from it?
” The person who came was almost lifted up by Wu Zheren, and when he heard this, he didn't care about struggling, but said strangely: "Enemy?
What enemy?
I didn't say the enemy?
” "No" then why do you say bad?
The Great Elder said, "Isn't it the enemy who came?"
” It's a caravan, a big, big caravan, there are thousands.
When the visitor said this, his expression was excited, and he shouted loudly: "With so many caravans, the furs we have accumulated will definitely be able to exchange for a lot of good things." ” "Really?
Great, it turned out to be a caravan, and another caravan is coming. ” "Haha, this time I can add a few pieces of jewelry to my family's Naya."
"My little Utu has been arguing for me for a new toy for a long time, and I hope I can buy it this time."
"Speaking of which, my Tumulia has also wanted a kind of silk for a long time." “......”
When the people heard the news, they all cheered, regardless of the two unfortunate ghosts on the ground.
Wu Zheren also cheered: "What are you still arguing about, don't you hurry back and count the things you want to exchange, such a large caravan, the items must be very complete, you can't let them go easily." ” "Oh!!"
"I said you're enough, so you have to pay attention to your identity, right?"
The Great Elder shouted solemnly to stop the forgetful crowd, and seeing that everyone's faces were ashamed, his face suddenly changed, and he laughed and said, "The most important thing for us at present is not to count the goods we need, but to hurry up and prepare a banquet to welcome guests from afar. ” "Oh!!"
"The Great Elder is so cunning."
"I almost got scammed."
"It's scary for the Great Elder to be serious." “......”
Li Daoan is a businessman, a businessman who specializes in running the grassland line, and he is extremely experienced, but unfortunately rich experience does not mean that the power is huge, in fact, he is just a small fight, his largest previous run businessman also organized a small caravan of more than 300 people, more often than not, it is simply a person to run, which is very dangerous.
The grassland is not peaceful, between tribes, between tribes, between tribes and horse thieves, between horse thieves and horse thieves......
Even if there is a Jieli pressure on it, it is impossible to put an end to the tribes fighting for profit or pasture, so don't look at the Turkic power, but the entire steppe is basically in a melee.

Traveling on the grassland where there are battlefields everywhere, the danger is self-evident, and it is good to say that the two sides can trade smoothly when they meet a friendly and hospitable tribe, but if they encounter an arrogant and unreasonable tribe, the big caravan is better, and paying some tolls can basically keep a peace, but the small caravan or a single merchant like him can really only wait for death, and the risk is extremely high.
But the big risk also represents the big interest, the grassland is scarce, for the daily necessities are very urgent, the price of goods is basically several times that of Datang, as long as you run once, you can basically make a fortune.
Li Daoan has been a businessman for five years, ran to the Turks ten times, and made a lot of money, and he was originally ready to stop after the last run.
As a result, at this time, the news came that the Tang Dynasty had won a great victory over the Turks, captured Jieli alive, and the Turks perished.
So Li Daoan, who originally planned to wash his hands of gold, moved again, Datang has incorporated the Turks into its territory, so it means that the Turks are already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so not only is there a layer of tariffs missing, but the security is much safer than before, and the profits will be greater......
In the end, he still didn't resist the temptation of money, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: Lao Tzu didn't die on the steppe when the two countries were at war, and now that the Turks have been wiped out, there is no reason to die there, right?
I just woke up, I'm really tired, I basically haven't written in the past two days, and I'm all supported by saving manuscripts, but now I don't have many manuscripts, and I really want to resign.
