Zhang Yunyi and the others discussed for a moment and decided to respond to all changes with the same.

The formation of the caravan was not untied for the time being, and the caravan remained on alert. However, except for the personnel who are on duty on guard, other personnel take shifts to rest.

The veterans organized a reconnaissance team and went out to explore the movements of the surrounding enemy.

As the veterans of the investigation sent back the news, Zhang Yunyi and others found that the Zalut Department had really withdrawn.

The Zarut Division, under the leadership of Battle, cleaned up their dead soldiers and really withdrew from the siege.

Battle also left a few men, sent 10 horses to make amends, and asked the caravan to prepare the trade materials as agreed.

Everything seems to be reacting very normally. But the bloodstains on the ground clearly remind everyone of what happened just now.

The more Battle withdrew his troops in this way, the more Zhang Yunyi and Zheng Ping did not dare to relax. They always felt that there would be some conspiracy in the Zarut Ministry.

The tension did not subside until near evening.

The veterans of the reconnaissance reported that the Zarut division had indeed gone far.

Battle didn't have the slightest intention of turning back. After gathering the team, the Zalut division had already walked more than 60 miles before stopping to set up camp.

This distance, even if it is all light riding, cannot be reached in an instant. Battle's intention to strike is quite obvious.

The caravan temporarily returned to calm.

Li Zhao took 10 veterans and escorted a batch of supplies to the station of the Duoyan Department.

The old shopkeeper Zheng Ming is still in the Duoyan Department, and he has to be taken back to the caravan.

"What? You repeat? ”

In the camp, Hua Chihu yelled at the scouts, he really didn't believe his ears.

The Zalut division withdrew like that, they were still not the men of the steppe, and it was a real shame for the Mongols.

Hua Chihu irritably whipped the grass in the camp and flew around.

These cowardly Zalut people, in vain the great Hua Chihu, thought that they were going to do some tricks when they retreated.

Unexpectedly, these Zalut people really admit defeat like that?

What conditions did the Han caravan promise to them, so that the Zalut tribe would be so willing to retreat.

In fact, what Hua Chihu is most irritable about is that his wishful thinking of reaping fishing profits has been shattered.

As soon as the Zarut Department and the caravan went to war, Lao Huadang's summons returned. As Hua Chihu expected, Lao Hua should hope that Hua Chihu would wait and see before making a decision.

Hua Chihu did not hesitate to begin to prepare silently. He is ready to surprise the winning side and snatch the greatest fruits of victory into his arms.

In Hua Chihu's view, this is the best opportunity for him to make a name for himself in the grassland.

He only needs to wait for the Zalut Department to win, and then take advantage of the night to carry out a sneak attack and completely defeat the Zalut Ministry. Use the blood of the Zarut people to achieve his reputation as a red tiger.

What kind of hero is a sneak attack caravan?

Defeating such an army as the Zalut Department is the battle feat that Hua Chihu dreams of.

It's a pity that the Zaruts are too uncooperative. After only a small setback, he accepted the conditions of the caravan and retreated.

As soon as the Zarut people retreated, they also retreated 60 miles, which made Hua Chihu still have to attack them again.

This situation is too disappointing for Hua Chihu.

What disappointed Hua Chihu even more is still to come.

The Han caravan had come to pick up the old man.

The Han people spoke very nicely, and they brought a little gift, but even the old man kept silent about the conditions mentioned in advance.

What about the half of the supplies?

If it weren't for our Duoyan Department sitting here, would the Zalut people be able to retreat so happily?

Hua Chihu's heart was not happy to the extreme.

Hua Chihu didn't consider the fact that he didn't send troops at all, he just subjectively thought that Zheng Ming had broken his trust in him.

"If you don't give it to me, then don't blame me for getting it myself."

Let Li Zhao take Zheng Ming back, Hua Chihu has already made up his mind. He wants to give the Han people some color to see, and let the Zalut people see what the art of war is.

"Tonight I will send troops to attack this caravan. Halfway? Hmph, everything in the caravan is mine! Thinking of the caravan's rich assets, Hua Chihu's eyes were already terrifying.

According to Hua Chihu's small abacus, the caravan had just finished a battle today, and even though it was a defensive operation, the caravan's guards would definitely be very tired.

And judging from the results, the caravan can be regarded as a small victory.

Tonight, no matter how vigilant the tired caravan is, it will no longer be able to achieve the highest level of vigilance.

Hua Chihu planned to take advantage of the caravan's tightness and loosening to make a surprise attack. Hua Chihu believed that as long as he could break into the caravan's defensive circle in one fell swoop, victory should be secure.

This, did you use the banner of the Zarut Department during the raid? Hua Chihu is really a little entangled.

Returning to the caravan camp and listening to Zhang Yunyi and their account of dealing with the Zalut Department, the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming's eyes widened in surprise.

The siege of thousands of people from the Zarut tribe passed like this.

Is the caravan defense too strong?

Or is the Zarut Ministry too weak?

After only one major attack and then retreated, the reaction of the Zarut department was really not tough.

No wonder the Mongols are now being beaten by Houjin and are powerless to fight back.

It turned out that even the strongest wings of the Mongol Great Khan had fallen to this step.

"Thankfully. God forbid. ”

Zheng Ming, the old shopkeeper who consciously figured it out, was full of happiness in his heart.

If Khalkha was still the strongest Mongolian wing, then the caravan would be unlucky this time.

"The Zarut ministry should be very short of food."

After listening to the agreement reached by Niu Jinxing and Battle, Zheng Ming's happiness became even stronger.

With such harsh conditions, the Zarut Ministry can agree to it. It seems that the Zalut tribe is really having a big problem, at least they are very short of food.

Maybe the Zarut Ministry really wants to make a deal. Zheng Ming couldn't help but think.

However, the exchange of slaves for food was not a good deal. Even though you don't need much food, what are you going to do with those slaves?

A big tribe like Zarut who knows how many slaves they will have. If a few thousand people are brought in, what will happen to the caravan?

Then, if the Zarut tribe really came to trade, it would have to trade something else with them. At the very least, you have to add some bad horses to trade with them, and as long as you have horses, even if you have more food, you can consider it.

Anyway, His Royal Highness King Xin also needs a large number of horses to pull the cart. Like a horse that can only pull a cart, the steppe tribe should be able to trade some.

The old shopkeeper Zheng Ming, with the experience accumulated by so many years of merchants, put several patches on the transaction negotiated by Niu Jinxing in an instant, so that the caravan could get real benefits from the transaction.

It was already getting dark, and the veterans of the expedition had gradually returned.

The news of the veteran's return was encouraging, and the Zarut Department showed no signs of turning back.

"Make a fire to roast horse meat, and give each person a bowl of wine. Let everyone relax a little. Zhang Yunyi gave the order to lower the alert level.

You have to let everyone relax, people who are bare and thin will get tired easily, which is not conducive to everyone's preparation.

The rising light of the fire and the wafting aroma of wine and meat made the entire caravan camp present a scene of celebration of victory.

After receiving the spies' return, Hua Chihu's heart was full of excitement. His plan was correct, and the caravan began to celebrate. As long as the caravan relaxes, he will be able to seal his throat with an arrow.

What Zarut, what a disgrace to the Mongols. Let the great Flower Red Tiger teach you how to fight!

With the support of the Zalut Ministry, the prestige of my Hua Chihu will be even louder.

Tonight is the beginning of me, Hua Chihu's fame in the grassland.
