Eight hundred and two caravans

"Hebei, Zhen's family... It's really a point worth paying attention to and not being overlooked! ”

The face was completely hidden under the shadow of the city wall, secretly thinking about it, thinking about the high zhi of his mind, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the city wall of Hori County, and then as if he thought of something, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched a far-reaching smile.

Below him, in the distance, one by one with torches in hand, took turns to patrol the night, and several cavalrymen with excellent cavalry and archery stood on high places to patrol back and forth, and once they found danger, they immediately warned them!

The troops stationed here are all trained in the real battlefield of blood and fire, but they are far from being compared to the city garrison troops in those counties who have been hollowed out by their leisurely life.

The whole of Hori Prefecture is in silence, even if in the past, it was full of people and extremely lively, but now, the streets are messy, and the surrounding shops are closed early, and a breeze blows, with a little desolate feeling.

This is the masterpiece of war.

Look in a certain direction in the distance, staring slightly.

There, because of the special terrain, it has almost become the most chaotic area near Youji, and countless fugitives have fallen here, constructing the most barbaric rules.

There is no legal constraint, there is, just a law, the law of the jungle!

In other words, that is, the survival of the fittest!

???????? The weak, here, there is no right!

Because the Xiongnu people have only a tribal alliance for a long time, and there is no real sense of the country, and the tribes have been fighting endlessly all the year round, the big ones have annexed the small ones, and the new ones have replaced the old ones, and the remnants of the Xiongnu tribes who have been scattered often flee to the vicinity of the buffer zone, and make a living by plundering the passing merchants.

Even some of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who were wanted by the imperial court gathered in this area, and all kinds of forces have me, I have you, all rely on the saber in their hands to make a living, which can really be called a mixture of dragons and snakes.

However, such a gray area has become a secluded place, an indispensable place for both the Han and the Xiongnu, and some of the intelligence exchanges between the two sides, as well as many unseen transactions, were completed in these places.

Therefore, both sides slowly acquiesced to the existence of this place, due to the frequent turmoil in the interior in recent years, the Xiongnu tribes were also in dispute, which caused more and more "rationalization" of this area.

Gao Zhi was thinking in place, and Liao Hua was in the first place under Gao Zhi, his body was straight, and his face was very respectful.

"General." Footsteps hurried, and a scout walked up from the aisle on the side of the city wall, and bowed his hand closer.

"How's that going on with what I asked you to check?" Liao Hua pressed his palm low, stepped forward and whispered.

"The Zhen family's caravan is not far from here, and that area is empty."

Liao Hua nodded, and then reflexively reported to Gao Zhi.

"Okay, Gao Mu, Niu Mang! The two of you each speed up fifty horses, go to intercept the Zhen family's caravan for me, and the soldiers along the way can be called! ”

Gao Zhi came back to his senses and exhaled slightly. He gestured to the two people below the city gate, and the speed of the two skyrocketed.

Two streamers, like two meteors in the dark sky, flew out directly, and behind them, they also followed, groups of cavalry.

...

The land outside the fortress is not only a bitter cold place, but also full of dangers.

Here, there are not only the brutal Hu people, but also the horse thieves who come and go like the wind and loot the bloody wealth, the Xiongnu tribes who may turn their faces and kill people at any time, and the wild wolves that lurk in the dark night to sneak up on the caravans......

If you want to be in the vast steppe, a caravan of one hundred and ten people is a small boat, and it may be swallowed by danger at any time.

Therefore, some scattered businessmen will spontaneously organize together for safety reasons to form a larger group to deal with the dangers they may encounter; There is strength in numbers! No matter where you go, this is a wise saying.

Here, the composition of the runner is very complicated.

There are not only some privately hired wealthy merchants, but also swordsmen from Xiliang, and even some caravans organized by the big men themselves, when it comes to smuggling goods, those noble officials are also not left behind, such a fat piece of meat, who doesn't want to take a bite!

Those merchants traveled from south to north, and the news was the most well-informed.

Those wealthy businessmen from all over the world gathered together, acquaintances greeted each other, exchanged some information, and greeted each other with a little face, testing each other's bottom line, so that they could know in their hearts.

None of the smugglers who can be smugglers are kind-hearted, and the bones of those who still have good intentions have long been fed to the wild wolves outside the plug, and smugglers naturally barter and do some serious business on weekdays, but this does not prevent them from occasionally making cameo appearances as horse thieves and doing some black and black business.

It can be said that every year, at least one-third of these caravans die at the hands of their accomplices, and even if you don't want to kill people, people will come to kill you.

That is, in a war, to help a certain side, so as to get a huge reward.

Although this kind of reward is very expensive, but the danger is also extremely high, after all, in that battlefield meat grinder, a team of hundreds of people, even if one is not careful, even if they are all killed, it is not surprising.

This time, Gao Zhi was eyeing the Zhen family's caravan.

Of course, he didn't have the idea of soliciting, after all, the other party's roots are in Hebei, and they are inextricably linked with all parts of the place.

How could it be possible to give up the family business and follow yourself to the state?

But although you can't take it in and do some business, it's still okay to have a good relationship.

"Hmph... Even if I can't get your support, I have to cut a batch of meat from you local tyrants. ”

It is clear that in a month and a half at most, when the grass leaves turn completely yellow, the wolf smoke will rise, and those Hun cavalry will kill like wolves to the interior and plunder the Han people.

With the experience of plundering, these Huns who have tasted the sweetness will definitely gather more men and horses, and the plundering places will go deeper......

You must know that the Huns they defeated this time were just a temporary alliance of a group of Hun rangers, wandering Hu people, and galloping horse thieves.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated!

But now I know very little about the situation on the Huns, and these smugglers have the opportunity to go deep into the grassland to see the reality of the Huns, I have to say, this is an opportunity!

A bold plan began to form in Gao Zhi's mind, although it was a little crazy, but the more it was so, the more Gao Zhi had some ideas.
