……

At sunset, the soldiers of the three tribes who had been fighting all day separated and returned to their stations to rest, not because they were unwilling to continue fighting, but because they had to be separated due to night blindness!

After more than a year of replenishment of oil and water, the night blindness situation in the army is no longer the same as when the army was first established, but these Hu people are different, most of the people in the clan can't see at night, let alone fight, even walking is extremely difficult......

"Patriarch, let's go back to the station first, and then stay outside I don't know what variables will be."

A clansman beside Kumo suggested to him that today he had lost more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in one day, which was a pain break for the entire Ku tribe, and if he continued to fight like this, he knew how many casualties there would be.

"That's it!" Kumo looked at the less than 12,000 people under his command, each of them with exhaustion written on their faces, and knew that if they continued to dwell here at this time, it would only add to the variables, so he nodded his head in agreement.

Liu Ce, who was in the distance, saw the Ku tribe retreating towards his camp, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "If the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion are here, these Ku people will have to leave at least 10,000 dead bodies in today's battle." ”

As he spoke, he looked back at Xu Wenjing, who was still trembling, couldn't help sighing, came to his side and said, "Strategist, have you come back to your senses, I still need to discuss the next strategy with you." ”

Xu Wenjing heard this and said: "The general said that it doesn't matter, it's just the first time that his subordinates kill people, and they are still a little unaccustomed, just let me shake for a while, just say it, I'll listen......"

Liu Ce said: "The Ku tribe has returned to the garrison, but the loss of the Bo army is not as big as expected, I have promised the Spirit Clan to let the Bo army all fall here, I wanted to borrow the hands of the herdsmen and the Ku tribe to let them kill each other, but I still overestimated the combat power of the two tribes, so the casualties of the Bo tribe were only five hundred horses, I wanted to attack the night to attack the fire to cause its chaos and then lead the troops to collapse in one fell swoop, but ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Ce shook his head, first, the weather was too cold, often accompanied by wind and snow, the fire was not easy to expand, and the second, the herdsmen soldiers mostly had night blindness......

Xu Wenjing thought for a while and said: "The general doesn't have to be embarrassed, I heard that the tile under Chijin's command has always been angry about Chijin's position as the patriarch, why don't you go and provoke it?" Let them fight among themselves and mess with themselves. ”

Liu Ce heard Xu Wenjing say this, pacing back and forth: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?" ”

Xu Wenjing said: "General, leave this matter to your subordinates to handle it personally, and I will go to the Bo camp." ”

Liu Ce frowned: "Strategist, don't be rash, this trip is too dangerous!" ”

Xu Wenjing said with a smile: "The general can rest assured, his subordinates have their own measure, and they will hurry up to the Ku tribe station before it is too late to meet the Fu Ying envoy......"

Liu Ce stared at him in a daze for a while, and then spoke for a long time: "Commander, today's matter is difficult for you......

Xu Wenjing shook his head when he heard this: "General, don't mention it again, my subordinates know that the general's intention for me to do this is to let Zai Xia grow up as soon as possible and establish prestige in the army, right?" ”

Liu Ce nodded: "Yes, after all, you have not been in my Jingwei camp for a long time, and the officers and soldiers in the army are not satisfied with you, in order to block the mouth of Youyou, I can only make this decision, after today, I believe that you are already a qualified member of my Jingwei camp." ”

Xu Wenjing got up and said respectfully: "Thank you for the general for giving his subordinates a chance to prove themselves, don't worry, I, Xu Wenjing, will die here, and I will definitely fight the foundation of Jizhou for the general and the Jingwei battalion!" ”

Liu Ce stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, with a firm look in his eyes: "Strategist, let's work together, what is the success rate of going to the Bo Clan?"

Xu Wenjing said: "There is no plan to win, the subordinates can only magnify the mustard between Chijin and Wayan, as the saying goes, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, I have done what I should do, and the rest depends on how God decides." ”

Liu Ce couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this......

A mile outside the Ku tribe's station, tens of thousands of Ku people and horses walked towards their own tribe with a tired face, and when they saw a little spark in the clan, they cheered up.

Kumo looked at the fire in his stockade and couldn't help sighing: "It's really a huge loss today, when I return to the clan and don't go out, I see what those bastards can do to me!" ”

Several Ku barbarians around heard Kumo say this, and couldn't help nodding, compared with the battle between the herdsmen and the Bo people, the most surprising thing for them was the Jizhou Righteous Army, the combat power that broke out made them feel uneasy, if the people of Jizhou are so terrible in the future, let alone the Ku people, I am afraid that the Hu people on the entire Jizhou Plain will have no way to live.

Cuomo swept away the gloom in his head and said to his people, "It's already dark! Speed up the trip, go back to the clan to have a good meal first, rest for a while, and fight to the death with this group of mongrels outside the village tomorrow! ”

"Whoa......"

The Ku barbarians who had been fighting all day were already hungry at this time, and there was nothing more pleasant than drinking a bowl of hot soup and nibbling on a few pancakes.

……

"Patriarch, there is a Zhou man outside who claims to be a giant businessman in Jiangnan who has asked to see you!"

In the Bo camp, Chijin and Wayan and several high-ranking members of the clan were sitting in the Chijin tent, discussing the next battle arrangements, and suddenly heard that someone outside the tent reported that a businessman was coming to ask for a meeting, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Where is Gangnam? This group of people didn't know at all, but they still heard a little about the wealth of Jiangnan from the past vendor places in Jizhou.

Chijin pondered for a while and said, "Let him in!" ”

Immediately, someone whispered, they didn't have a good impression of this group of Zhou businessmen, they were all treacherous people who were mercenary, and they couldn't wait to get rid of them quickly.

But there is no way, since Jizhou was occupied by Hunu, various towns have been razed to the ground, the business and agricultural industry has regressed rapidly, and most of the resources are in the hands of the Hulan people......

The group of merchants can be said to be synonymous with treachery in any period, but if a dynastic country wants to rise rapidly, merchants are an existence force that cannot be ignored! Especially in Jizhou, which is now occupied by the Hu people, on the one hand, it is extremely guarded against the counterattack of the Zhou people and implements a high-pressure policy against the people of Jizhou, but on the other hand, it is open to businessmen, after all, they have their own things in the place, which can be described as full of contradictions.

However, this group of merchants is not a thing, an ordinary bowl can only be exchanged for a sheep or a whole animal skin, and as for pots and chisels, it is so expensive that they want to make them vomit blood.

One year, one of the tribes once killed the caravan that came to trade in a fit of rage and robbed the goods, as a result, all the merchants and tribes that came to Jizhou no longer interacted with them, a year later, the tribe of more than 10,000 people because of the lack of necessary materials to reduce most of their mouths, was swallowed up by the rest of the tribes, you can imagine how terrible the strength of the merchants is......

While everyone was pondering, the curtain was suddenly opened, and a young man in a black coat (newly changed) was seen walking into the tent under the leadership of a Bo soldier on the side.

"Hell, it's cold."

After Xu Wenjing stepped into the tent, ignoring the surprised eyes of everyone in the tent, he went straight to the middle bonfire, took a piece of firewood from the side and threw it in the fire, and baked his frozen hands unscrupulously, as if he was the master here.

"Bold, why don't you kneel when you see the patriarch!"

A Bo general couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but scold.

Xu Wenjing sneered and said in fluent nonsense: "Have you forgotten who revealed to you the news that the Ku clan had obtained grain, straw, salt and iron? How? It's only been a few days and I forgot about it! ”

When Chi Jin and Wa Yan heard this, they were immediately shocked, and after glancing at each other, Chi Jin said to Xu Wenjing cruelly: "So, you sent the Zhou people to tell me?" Do you know that your actions have cost me the lives of 500 of my people today, and believe it or not, I will cut off your head right now! ”

Hearing this, Xu Wenjing put away his hands that were baking on the bonfire, stared at Chijin coldly and said: "It turns out that the Bo people are so untrustworthy, I beg you to help me take back my things, and I also promise you to share half of the materials you get, what?" Now regretted it? Okay, if you want to kill, kill it, but I'll give you a thorough idea, in the spring of next year, my Xu family in Luzhou will conduct large-scale trade in Jizhou, and the price is fair, if I die, your Bo tribe will not have to participate, and I guarantee that in less than a year, your Bo clan will be annexed and exterminated by the rest of the tribes! ”

When Chi Jin heard this, his heart sank, and the general of the Bo tribe on one side immediately said to Xu Wenjing: "Jiang Xun strictly ordered merchants to come and go with Jizhou, and you still trade on a large scale?" Who to bluff? ”

Xu Wenjing glanced back at the Nabo people, and said with a look of disgust: "You're right, but if I can't get through these joints, I dare to boast in front of you?" Don't forget, the salt and iron circulating in Jizhou for more than a month have been brought by me, and next year there will be more than ten times as many goods entering Jizhou from all the passes, I really poured blood mold, and the goods were robbed by your group of robbers as soon as I came here......"

Everyone in the tent heard Xu Wenjing say this, and couldn't help but look at each other, originally the Hu people in Jizhou would not easily take the businessman no matter how chaotic they were, but who made the Hulan people press this year? Only then did he take a risk and began to rob the merchant's goods.

Seeing the dull atmosphere in the tent, Chi Jin said to Xu Wenjing: "Say, what are you looking for me?"

Xu Wenjing said to Chijin: "Patriarch, I came here to discuss with you, next year my Xu family wants to gain a foothold in Jizhou to do business, I heard that your Bo clan has a close relationship with the Hulan people in the north, I don't know if you can be accommodating, let them not fight my caravan's idea?" ”

Chi Jin couldn't help but disdain when he heard this: "Hmph, this group of businessmen is really unprofitable, and their heads are full of money, but it's okay, I just slaughtered a piece of meat from him." ”

Thinking of this, he said to Xu Wenjing: "You also know that the Hulan warriors have encountered some setbacks this year, and they hate the Zhou people to the core, and I am afraid it will be difficult for my people to meet your requirements." ”

Xu Wenjing made a look of embarrassment when she heard this: "How is this good?"

"But......" Chi Jin was very relieved when he saw his appearance, "For the sake of you providing me with information about the Ku clan, the patriarch can reluctantly lobby for you." ”

Xu Wenjing sneered in her heart when she heard this, and immediately pretended to be flattered: "Thank you to the Chijin Patriarch in this way......"

Chi Jin hurriedly stopped him and continued: "Do you really want to trade on a large scale in Jizhou next year?" Will there be more of this salt and iron than there is now? And food?"
