"I think you're all right, we don't have supplies, we can't trade, so we only have to rob, first find a target, grab a batch of supplies, and then trade with what you steal, and see what others are missing? I know how to trade, as for salt, there are not many of these barbarians, and they also need to inquire about the source, which needs to be considered a lot. Zou Yu thought slowly and said.

"I'll think about these later, can you tell me if there are any other ways?" Liu Jin asked as he tapped the table lightly.

"Does anyone know how to burn a kiln? We can open a simple kiln, and the pottery can be exchanged, right? Barbarians don't need to be too good anyway. Zou Yu asked, he remembered the earliest clay kiln with few bricks and tiles in his hometown, which did not have much technical content and did not lack materials.

"No problem with this! If it's too good to burn out, some pots and pots can still be cooked. Liu Jin said happily.

"Okay, so decided, I'll personally take someone to find out the news and see who it's appropriate to trade with." Li Keshi clapped.

"It's better to choose smaller tribes, and we will give them some money, and let them come forward and trade with the big tribes." Zhang Zhongjian suggested.

"Well, I've thought about it a long time ago, the most suitable is the Khitan, they are few and mild, and the relative Murwei and the Yan clan are definitely not suitable for us to trade now." Li Keshi nodded.

"Yes, Xi Ren is also called Xi Man, and it is very possible to use the knife if you don't agree with each other."

"In this case, it is better to choose the Yan tribe to start and grab one or two tribes, otherwise I am afraid that there will not be enough food in winter." Zhang Zhongjian said.

"Okay, let's act together, and the family will leave someone to burn the kiln, and everyone else will go out." Li Keshi agreed.

After the discussion was made, the next day, four hundred and twenty warriors, followed by Zhang Zhongjian, Li Keshi set off, of which Li Keshi would take twenty people to load the goods of the merchants, order the things of the tribe, first book to see what others lacked, and then send them over, this is the normal mode of running merchants.

As for Zhang Zhongjian, he will lead people to sneak attack the Yan tribe, the Yan tribe is divided into two kinds, the black water Yan Yan has a brutal temperament, which is the sworn enemy of the Central Plains, and the Bai Mountain Yan people are used to communicating with the outside world, they farm most of the time, and only hunt when they are idle, and they belong to a semi-agricultural nation.

Baishan Heishui, that is, the area of Changbai Mountain, the Heishui Ya tribe lives by water, grazing and hunting, occasionally making cameo appearances as horse bandits, robbing small tribes or villages they meet, and because of this, Goguryeo except for the vicinity of Buyeo City, the people in other places have long not been relocated.

After parting ways with Li Keshi, Zou Yu and the others changed into Goguryeo clothes, which were collected in the first two months, and because of the lack of supplies, they have been retained, at least in winter.

As for the lack of clothing, this is also very easy to do, just wear animal skins, as long as you don't wear Sui Dynasty clothes, it doesn't matter. It's not necessarily about blaming others, it's just trying to minimize some of the troubles so as not to add to them.

The water, a big river, the Tatar people live here, human habitation must first have a water source, this is the same regardless of nomadic or farming people, so most of the cities are built on the edge of the river.

Zou Yu's biggest disadvantage is that they don't have war horses, they are slow to travel, and it is not easy to find out the news, but fortunately, the Ya people in that water are mainly grazing, and they can judge the direction of their residence from the ground traces.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, which is a true portrayal of the whole world, which also causes a lot of wild animals, especially a lot of fierce beasts, many tigers and bears in the mountains, leopards, crocodiles in the water, wolves in the plains, these are things that endanger human life, so nomads, even if it is not a time to fight, is also a large family living together, grazing together, if the family is too small, they will live together with other herdsmen, and generally at least five or six middle-aged men.

After 20 days of traveling and eight days of hard searching, Zou Yu and others finally found a herdsman settlement.

Following the scout, Zou Yu looked at the tent on the hillside and said to Zhang Zhongjian beside him, "Uncle Zhang, what do you think?" ”

"Look at the number of people, all of them are women, and the men shouldn't have gone home yet." Zhang Zhongjian analyzed. "Look at the tent, there should be twenty or thirty young people, it's not easy to do it now, so it's better to wait until all of them come back, and catch them all."

Zou Yu took a look, there are eleven tents here, the branch is on the side of the mountain, under the big tree, scattered within 200 meters, although the place is not big, but now to do it, I am afraid that it will startle the snake, so I also agreed with Zhang Zhongjian's decision.

Nomads out of dinner, other times will not go home, lunch is also very casual to eat a little dry food, drink some milk or water, this era, the general landlord family, will only eat two meals a day, and ordinary people, before dawn to eat and go out to work, close to noon, go home to rest, wait for the weather is not hot, in the afternoon (three o'clock) will eat lunch, and then continue to work in the field, at night, hehe, drink some water to sleep, fall asleep is not hungry.

Nomads have a slight difference, drink milk for breakfast, eat a handful of fried wheat or barley, and then go out, the same is true for lunch, eat in the grazing place, eat lunch when you are rich, lie down when you are poor, anyway, grazing is not much physical exertion.

After determining that the people of the Yan tribe would not leave immediately, Zhang Zhongjian took Zou Yu and a few of them, left the place, cautiously, and went back to join the others without a trace, chose a place with deep grass and lush forests, and hid.

In this operation, Zhang Zhongjian was much more cautious, mainly because the Tatar tribe had horses, and it would not be cost-effective if he escaped, so he waited until the time before setting off and touching the station of the Tatar tribe.

According to the impressions left during the day, manpower was allocated, including where they kept the cattle and horses, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

The night was silent, and in two days it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moonlight was very bright, which did not affect the action at all, only the war horse was slightly restless, and slightly restless with their hooves to plow the ground, as if they were worried about the master.

After everyone was in place, Zhang Zhongjian asked people to wave a white robe as a signal and launch the order to do it together.

Soon, the curtains were lifted in every tent, and five or six warriors rushed in, while the people outside were not idle, clenching their weapons, ready to rush in to support.

In order to survive, Zou Yu and they had to be reduced to robbery, but fortunately, this is between races, in this era of estrangement from families, villages, towns, and fellow villagers, the other ethnic group does not care at all, and does not treat them as human beings in their hearts, so no one has a burden in their hearts, and soon someone walked out of the tent and sent a signal to complete the task.
