Chapter 2O3: Warriors and Boys (Ask for subscriptions, recommendations, favorites)
The people who went out to clean up the battlefield were all veterans, and Zhang Yunyi's instructions were thorough.
A small gap opened in the car formation, and Li Zhao and a few people walked out of the car formation.
Under the control of Battle, the Zalut Department allowed Li Zhao and the others to gather the ownerless war horses that had run away.
It wasn't until Li Zhao and the others retreated into the chariot formation with dozens of war horses that Zalut sent empty-handed soldiers to remove the wounded who were still screaming.
There really weren't many wounded. Most of those who were shot with muskets died on the spot.
When the battlefield was completely quiet, Battle rode alone and slowly entered the battlefield.
Battle was seen entering the battlefield alone, not wearing any weapons on his body. Zhang Yunyi understands that this is the other party's negotiator.
Zhang Yunyi was about to go out, but Zheng Ping stopped him.
"Head, you can't mess around now. Isn't it just negotiation? Just call Ox Venus to go. Zheng Ping said in a low voice.
Seeing Niu Jinxing looking at him with blank eyes, he looked eager to try. Zhang Yunyi thought for a while, and then readily agreed: "Niu Jinxing, you go, you must pay attention to your own safety." ”
Anyway, this kind of negotiation can't talk about anything, so why not let these daring teenagers try it, and it can also give them a little more experience in coping.
In this way, a Mongol warrior who was not good at negotiation and trading, and a fledgling hairy boy, came together on the battlefield and began an unexpected business negotiation.
"I, Battle, the first warrior of Zarut. Boy, I appreciate your tenacity, and I can give you the right to trade. Battle opened his mouth with a condescending air.
"What did he say?" Niu Jinxing asked with a confused expression.
Accompanying Niu Jinxing, a veteran who knew Mongolian translated the meaning of Battle.
"Deal? What do you have to trade? Niu Jinxing asked with a disdainful expression. For the title of Battle's first warrior, Niu Jinxing is even more dismissive.
"We need food, a lot of food. Can we trade livestock for you? Seeing that he couldn't scare the other party, Battle changed to a flat tone and said.
O humiliation of the warriors!
Battle was filled with helplessness. He, the first warrior, couldn't even scare a hairy child.
"Livestock? What kind of livestock? Niu Venus didn't seem to be interested, and asked as if it were routine.
Before Battle could speak, Niu Venus added, "If it's just cows, sheep, etc., don't talk about it, we're not interested." ”
Bull Venus's words almost choked Battle to death. Not to mention cattle and sheep, then what are their livestock, then only horses remain.
Although he is not good at trading, Battle also knows very well that horses cannot be traded indiscriminately.
In this era, horses are a very important strategic material, and they are also the only material that overwhelms the Central Plains in the grassland.
Although the tribe was in danger, Battle did not dare to trade horses casually.
In fact, Battle doesn't trade horses, and it has nothing to do with the grassland affairs, just because the Zalut Department also needs to reserve war horses now.
Seeing that Battle was reluctant to trade horses, Niu Venus didn't care. Anyway, he came out just to talk casually, to see the world, and he didn't plan to talk about anything at all.
Niu Jinxing's indifferent attitude just hits the nail on the head of the advanced skills of negotiation.
Bull Venus can be indifferent, but Battle can't. Battle is also in dire need of supplies for the Zarut Ministry.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't come up with anything else to deal with except Mabatel.
It's no wonder that Battle has little knowledge, compared to the Central Plains, the production of the grassland is really too barren, and there is really nothing else to trade except horses.
Seeing that Battle was embarrassed, Niu Jinxing didn't want the negotiations to break down so quickly, so he found another topic.
"Do you have any?" Niu Venus had a whim, and he asked Battle casually.
"People?"
People, of course there are Zalut Ministries. But Battle didn't understand what Bull Venus meant.
Not only did Battle not understand, but even the veterans, who were translators, did not understand the meaning of Niu Venus.
Niu Jinxing still looked indifferent: "We are not rare for cows and sheep, and you are reluctant to trade horses." So what else do you have to trade?
Then you may trade people. Han Chinese are the best, and so can others. ”
When this sentence was translated, Battle immediately understood.
This man was originally a slave. It is possible to trade slaves as a trade.
"How do people count food?" Battle asked awkwardly.
"Well, I'll give you a reference price."
Niu Jinxing recalled that the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming had said that he had repurchased Hermes-Epitek, and then said lightly: "One pure Hermes-Epitek, two sheep." Those who can speak Chinese, 1 sheep per 1. Those who can understand Chinese, 2 sheep each. I don't know Chinese at all, 3 sheep and 1 sheep. ”
Niu Jinxing's conditions were actually just what he said casually. Bull doesn't think he can make a deal with Battle.
Are they still good on the battlefield?
The bloody corpse not far away had not yet been cleaned up, and the smell of blood was still everywhere in the air.
Talking about a deal?
Joke!
Everybody is just playing a little delay.
You need time to adjust and rearrange your offensive tactics, and I'm happy to delay a bit. If you like me, let's just talk about it.
Who would take it seriously?
Whoever takes it seriously loses.
Hearing Niu Jinxing's conditions, Battle's heart jumped a few times.
The lack of supplies in the Zarut department is obvious, and the most important thing is rations. This year, Kim harassed the Khalkha Ministry several times, mainly against the Zarut Ministry.
Under the blow of Houjin, the Zalut Department suffered great losses in livestock, and the remaining cattle and sheep fat was not good. This makes the Zarut Ministry face a brutal challenge in the coming harsh winter.
Although the four tribes of Bahrain, Hongjira, Bayout, and Uziyat, which also belong to the five Khalkha departments, support the Zalut ministry militarily, they are also powerless in terms of people's livelihood.
It can be said that the coming harsh winter is a ghost gate for the Zarut Ministry.
What's more, if the Zalut Department only barely survives the Ghost Gate Pass in a way that is greatly injured, then in the spring of the next year, the Zalut Department may have to bow to the enemy Houjin.
Although the Zalut Department and the Houjin are already regarded as a deep blood feud, as long as the Zalut Department still wants to survive, when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the Zalut Department can only take the method of bowing to the enemy.
Of course, if it weren't for the point where it was really cornered, the Zalut Ministry would never give in to Houjin.
Therefore, the Zarut Ministry is now in dire need of outside support.
Although Battle didn't know much about the livelihood of the tribe, he knew the harsh environment of the tribe. Among the 5,000 soldiers he led, some families did not have enough food.
You know, it's the month of autumn fat for cattle and sheep!
At this time, we are about to run out of rations, so what about winter?
Battle led his troops out this time, and the main target was food.
Isn't it for the sake of the caravan that the caravan car
Hundreds of cars, how much food there must be!
