The cold wind began to blow on the earth, which meant that the footsteps of the cold winter were a little closer, and the hunting flags were fluttering violently, and the ears were full of the sound of the cold wind.

Huang Taiji's mood at the moment was as cold as this cold wind, and the feeling of being controlled was really unpleasant. A second ago, he could still raise his head and compete with Mao Wenlong, but now he has to greet Mao Wenlong, the enemy, with a smile, and only he understands the taste.

After not seeing any response from Mao Wenlong for a long time, Huang Taiji became more and more uncalm, and the materials for winter were related to the life and death of many herdsman families. Whether you can survive this cold winter depends entirely on whether this interview goes smoothly.

Huang Taiji is a decisive person, he is not only ruthless to others, but also to himself. It is understood that this time it will not be possible to gain the upper hand no matter what, so there is no need to hold on.

Face can't be eaten, and thousands of herdsmen can't be saved, and it has become an indisputable fact to lower your body and take the initiative to cater to Mao Wenlong.

Letting go of all the reserve and suppressing the unwillingness in his heart, Huang Taiji became relaxed, and took the initiative to say to Mao Wenlong: "I don't know how General Mao thinks about it?" ”

Mao Wenlong read the roster of materials early in the morning, and he had already made up his mind a long time ago. If you don't respond just now, you're also pinching Huang Taiji. Seeing that he lowered his posture at this moment, Mao Wenlong was no longer silent, and immediately laughed happily: "Good general, the general soldier agrees to your request." Tomorrow you will send a messenger and then talk about the details. ”

Huang Taiji obviously didn't expect Mao Wenlong to agree so readily, he looked at Mao Wenlong in amazement, and was stunned for a while, forgetting to respond.

The deputy general reminded Huang Taiji in a low voice beside him, and Huang Taiji suddenly came over, and hurriedly and happily clasped his fists and saluted Mao Wenlong: "So thank you to General Mao, it's not early, take your leave." ”

Mao Wenlong returned the salute casually, and then watched Huang Taiji leave in a hurry with three thousand soldiers and horses.

Haoda whispered beside Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, why did you agree to him so easily? ”

Mao Wenlong laughed and said: "If you don't agree to him, how can you knock him hard." ”

Hao Dada was stunned for a moment, feeling that what Mao Wenlong said seemed to make sense, but there were many things that confused him.

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, don't think about it if you don't understand, you will be able to know tomorrow." ”

The short meeting went very smoothly, and after Huang Taiji left, Mao Wenlong did not stay outside for long, and immediately returned to Jiayuguan City.

Mao Wenlong called Chen Qiyu to the study alone, and the two discussed behind closed doors for a whole afternoon. It wasn't until the evening that Haoda saw Chen Qiyu say goodbye and leave.

Early the next morning, Huang Taiji sent an envoy, and the simple envoy team consisted of less than twenty people, except for a dozen guards, there were only three tribal elders left.

Ahanlie was the representative of the envoy group and was responsible for discussing with Mao Wenlong about the trade of goods between the two countries.

Seeing the arrival of these envoys, Mao Wenlong welcomed them very warmly. In Mao Wenlong's eyes, these people are here to give benefits to themselves, and there is no reason not to entertain them.

Before coming, Ahanlie and the others were ready to 'fight', but they didn't expect the Dongjiang army to treat each other with such a grand courtesy. It was completely like greeting VIPs, which made Ahanlie puzzled and relieved at the same time.

At least, judging from the current performance of the Dongjiang Army, he feels that this trade should be able to go smoothly. And he will also make another great contribution, and it will be worth the trip.

Eat and drink enough, the politeness has already been polite, and then we have to get to the point.

After discussing in a low voice with the other two elders beside him, Agulie said to Mao Wenlong: "Thank you for the warm hospitality of General Mao, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely invite General Soldier to the grassland to accept our hospitality." ”

Mao Wenlong laughed and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”

Agulie nodded implicitly, and then continued: "We need a lot of materials this time, I wonder if the general army has a way to meet our needs?" ”

Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "As long as you can afford to replace something, there is no problem with as many as you want." ”

When Agulie heard this, he was overjoyed, and he said, "But I don't know what the general army needs us to replace?" ”

Mao Wenlong let out a sinister smile in his heart, but on the surface, he said seriously: "Cow, the more healthy ploughing cattle, the better." ”

Less than a third of the arable land in the North is currently in short supply, not only because of the severe shortage of people, but also in the number of cattle. In fact, the problem is not very big when there are fewer people, as long as there are enough ploughing cattle, it can completely replace a lot of labor. It is no exaggeration to say that a strong ploughing ox is enough to withstand the labor of ten prime years.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong urgently needed to plough cattle this time, and it was for this reason that he agreed to exchange materials with Huang Taiji and them.

Agulie's old face smiled like a bun, the cow is not so important to the herdsman, its value is only the cowhide. Now that winter is approaching, the cattle raised can be slaughtered.

Mao Wenlong needs to plough cattle, and there are many herdsmen on the grassland. Agulie snickered in his heart, but on the surface, he was still strong and calm, and said to Mao Wenlong: "I don't know how many ploughing cattle the general army needs?" ”

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and stretched out a hand: "Fifty thousand healthy and strong cattle." ”

50,000 heads is not a small number, and Agulie didn't expect Mao Wenlong to ask for so much in one mouth? He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Can the chief soldier give us a little time to count, after all, this number is too big, and we have to confirm the number before we can give you a definite answer." ”

Mao Wenlong was very generous, and he agreed with his mouth. Time is something for Mao Wenlong, and the longer it drags on, the better it is for him. On the contrary, Agulie is different, and the closer they get to the cold winter, the more anxious they become.

The welcome banquet dispersed, and Agulie and the others also took their leave. In the hall of Nuoda, only Mao Wenlong and Chen Qiyu were left, and Chen Qiyu was full of doubts: "Chief soldier, why did you agree to them so quickly?" Moreover, isn't our main purpose to have their horses? ”

The war horse is Mao Wenlong's real purpose, but just now, Mao Wenlong never mentioned it, and Chen Qiyu felt curious.

Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "It's too late to take your time, grind them for more time, and put the most important thing to the end, so that you have a greater chance of success." At that time, seeing that the conversation is almost over, we will throw out the killer weapon again, and we are not afraid that Huang Taiji will not agree. ”

Chen Qiyu suddenly came over after hearing this, and he laughed and complimented: "The chief soldier is smart, and his subordinates are so impressed that they throw themselves to the ground." ”
