Lian Chengbo found out that something was wrong when the scout cavalry reported that he did not find the surrounding enemy, but he thought that it must be the hidden troops of the Han Department who hid too well, and he did not believe that the army of the Han Department left like that.

It was not until the early morning of the third day that Liu Yan returned from leading the expedition, and Lian Chengbo proudly told his nephew.

"See, we're more patient than they are." Lian Chengbo didn't know that he was being tricked: "They were ambushed for two days, and they lost patience and came out on their own." If we really thought they weren't there and attacked the camp, we would be under siege. ”

Liu Yan's army really "took" Jijin City, and all the Hu people there could run had already run, and they were occupied by the Han Department without any resistance at all.

After the city was occupied, the local Hu people expressed their submission. This time, Ji Chang did not suggest that the Hu people in the city be killed as if they were not in the city, but suggested that Liu Yan express the attitude of not being blamed for the past to the greatest extent to those Hu people.

The Han Department is still weak, and it can't be too repulsive to the Hu people, too much exclusion of the Hu will make them isolate themselves from the world, and the Hu people in Jijin City should be treated like Cabinet County, supporting a family to destroy the original largest family in Jijin City, and borrowing the hands of the Hu people to rule the Hu people.

The Hu people will support the Jin people to suppress the Jin people, why can't the Han Ministry support the Hu people to suppress the Hu people? After finding out which was the largest family in Jijin City, Liu Yan quickly chose a midstream Hu family, destroyed the original largest family in Jijin City, and got things done within a day, leaving the necessary guard troops behind, and led the troops on the way home.

In fact, Liu Yan was looking forward to the occupation of Jijin City, but unfortunately, until the occupation was settled, he did not wait for any "reward", just that the occupation of the county in his mind changed from 1/24 to 2/24, and then there was no more fart.

Returning to the camp, the troops drove in to do the necessary rest, Liu Yan asked Li Kuang, and learned that the Hu people and horses outside had been tossing and turning vigorously within three days, but there was not a single real-time test attack.

"Sir's clever calculation!" Liu Yan never hesitated when he should praise: "So, let's do it according to the plan next?" ”

Ji Chang was extremely happy that his judgment was correct. He made a suggestion to Liu Yan, not to let the Hu Centaur team follow like a fart, that would cause great inconvenience to their next series of actions. His suggestion was to send scouts to find the location of the tribe of the Centaurs and try to make contact with the Centaurs as well. It's good to be able to solve it peacefully, but if you can't, start with the tribe of that horse team.

In this way, Lianchengbo ushered in a group of people from the Han Department to invite dialogue.

It was Li Kuang, who went out to talk, and he didn't bring many people, just a dozen or so people who rode horses well.

Lian Chengbo had long doubted his judgment, but he couldn't show it. In the face of the Han Department, there were more than ten horsemen who showed a negotiating posture, he frightened him very deliberately, and saw that he didn't seem to be able to scare the Han people, and he wanted to surround them and be charged with horses to leave, and he tossed for most of the day, and chose to take twenty or so to ride over.

"Deal or war?" Lian Chengbo didn't have any surprise on his face, but he took it for granted, and asked, "If you trade, what is the trade?" ”

Li Kuang looked at the Hu leader who was more than five meters away and looked at the somewhat cunning Hu leader, and shouted: "The Han Ministry produces weapons and salt, and you can exchange slaves, cattle, sheep, or whatever we think is useful." ”

"Weapons and salt!?" Lian Chengbo was finally surprised at this time, but he was not surprised that the Han Ministry was willing to trade these two things, it was the Han Department that was able to make weapons and produce salt. His eyes rolled for a moment: "It's okay to trade, but you have to compensate us for a hundred weapons first!" ”

"My lord knew you would say that." Li Kuang appropriately showed disdain, and shouted: "My lord doesn't care about the fact that you and others have been magnanimous and compensated. In the case of trading, twelve oxen and one sword or sword, or thirty-five sheep, and three horses were traded. Yanba ......, slave ......", shouted a large string of data, and calmed down to look at Lian Chengbo.

Lian Chengbo just talked about the compensation casually, but he didn't intend to finish it like that, and threatened: "You trade with us, but you are afraid of us, if you ......"

"Well, just keep fighting. We don't have to graze, we can find out where your tribe is anytime, anywhere, all the time, and then you don't want to graze in peace! Li Kuang looked disdainful and arrogant, pulled the reins and shouted to his companion: "Negotiation failed, go!" ”

"Wait!" Lian Chengbo's attitude was a little more correct: "How do I know that you are not trying to deceive us?" ”

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Whether you like it or not, it's up to you. Li Kuang didn't mean to stop leaving, and turned his head to explain: "We are willing to wait for you for three days, and we want to trade and bring the goods according to the amount just now." I don't want to trade, you and I continue to fight. ”

Lian Chengbo looked at the dozen or so horsemen galloping away and fell into deep thought.

Weapons and salt! The importance of weapons in troubled times is needless to say, even the regular army of the imperial court does not everyone have weapons. As for the salt? Not many people are selling salt at all, and most people are replacing it with other salty things.

"Uncle?" Liancheng Boda licked his lips: "This is a rare opportunity. ”

If it's not rare, will Lian Chengbo hesitate? He was really worried that it was just a trap set by the Han Ministry, and any transaction was fake, just to set up a situation to kill them. But that's weapons and salt! No amount of wealth is something that can be bought if you want to!

"Immediately send someone to ask the family over there in Cabinet County to see if the Han Department really produces weapons and salt in large quantities!" Lian Chengbo chose a more secure method: "If it is really ......, it must be traded!" ”

It's a little far from the cabinet county, but you can go back and forth in a morning with a fast horse. Lian Chengbo soon knew the answer, more than one family in the county was trading weapons and salt with the Han Ministry, and the number of weapons was limited, but the number of salt transactions was not limited.

On the other hand, Ji Chang was communicating with Liu Yan, looking for the Lianchengbo tribe and not relaxing, and he was also planning to have the opportunity to destroy the Lianchengbo tribe, so it depended on whether Lianchengbo was really so cautious.

"It's okay, if you can't extinguish it, it's really a deal." Of course, Liu Yan will control the number of weapons, and he will release the supply of salt: "We need a large number of people, and if we can't destroy this tribe, we will tell more tribes from their mouths that we can exchange slaves for weapons or salt here." Even if it is not all people, horses, cows, and sheep are desperately needed. ”

Ji Chang immediately looked excited: "Jun Shang is wise!" He bowed, and then said, "In this way, the benefits of not destroying the Zahu tribe outweigh the disadvantages. We should not take the initiative to fight again, but we can use them to transport people. O population, Your Majesty! With the population, we will continue to grow, and when the time comes, we will ......"

"Capture the entire peninsula first!" Liu Yan looked excited, but his heart was extremely entangled, there was no reward for building another town center for attacking Jijin City, and the upper limit of the system's population did not increase. He said with great firmness: "It is impossible to capture the entire Qingzhou in a short period of time, so build a stable rear!" ”
