Chapter 23: Neighbors

"Lord, don't you really need to clean up these things?" North of Macheng, around a field where chickens are raised, hens with a group of chicks are swaying in the surrounding fields, catching insects in the crops from time to time to eat, not only raising chickens, but also helping the crops to get rid of insects, just looking at the feces left by those chickens, Guan Hai and others always feel a little disgusted.

"No, have you noticed that the crops are growing well in these places where there is a lot of manure?" Ye Zhao waved his hand, turned his head to look at the respectful farmer beside him, and said with a smile.

"What the adults said is true, and I didn't realize it before, until the adults mentioned it and asked me to pay close attention to it, I found that the crops in this field where the chickens are active do grow better than other places." An old farmer who followed behind Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"This kind of land is also a science, you have to know the weather, know the atmosphere, and now I'm afraid there will be one more." Ye Zhao is quite satisfied with this, this farmer every household can not only improve their lives, but also get rid of insects, add some fertilizer to the field, and promote the growth of crops.

"Lord, something is wrong!" Just as the group was walking in the field, Qiu Chi hurriedly walked over with a few guards and said with a serious face.

"What's the matter? Don't panic. Ye Zhao waved his hand and motioned for the farmers to leave before turning his head to look at Qiu Chi.

"Dig the bald and send people to report that recently, the Mohan tribe under the command of Wuhuan Qiuliju is gathering in the area of Qiushui, and it is suspected of plotting against our Macheng." Qiu Chi said with a serious face.

"The Mohan tribe?" When Ye Zhao heard this, he frowned: "I heard that it is a big tribe in the Wuhuan Mountain area, how could they come here?" ”

Wuhuan and Xianbei are all nomadic people, and generally have no fixed borders, but it's not really that there are no rules at all, generally unless they encounter natural disasters, otherwise, there are still some default areas of activity between these tribes, and they rarely cross the border.

"I'm afraid that someone is secretly communicating with the Mohan tribe and wants to seize my horse city." Qiu Chi thought for a while.

"Joke, what do they want the city to do?" Ye Zhao shook his head, even if it was the digging bald or the previous Aguli, they only stationed some people in Macheng to be in charge of the transaction, they all said that they were nomads, and naturally the most important thing was to be nomadic and occupy the city, for them, it was equivalent to digging their own graves.

"Could it be a bald digging?" Guan Hai frowned and said, after all, there is Aguli as a lesson from the past, and Ye Zhao also said that digging bald is not a peaceful person, and digging bald knows the meaning and power of Macheng better than other tribes on the grassland, and it is not impossible to occupy Macheng.

"Whether it is or not, inform Ding Li and let him move the camp to the main road of the water in the water, there are still several months before the autumn harvest, if there is a war here, the harvest in the north of the city this year will not be wanted." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Qiu Chi hurriedly sent someone to Ding Li's military camp to give orders.

"Lord, are you going to war!?" Guan Hai said a little excitedly.

"To fight a war is to kill people, and if you can't fight, you won't fight." Ye Zhao glared at Guan Hai angrily, it was not that he was instigated, but that at present, Macheng is in the development period, and the people's hearts are gradually gathering, just waiting for the autumn harvest, the ecology of this Macheng will be completely formed, if there is a war at this time, then all his previous operations will be wasted.

Turning his head to look at Qiu Chi, Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "Let the dwarf come over immediately, I want to know why this Mohan tribe gathered here this time?" ”

"Whoa!"

……

Since he became the leader of the tribe, he has migrated the tribe to the area of Yunqiushui, and it is precisely because of this that he can detect the movements of the Mohan tribe for the first time, Qiu Chi sent someone to inform the dwarf in the morning, and in the afternoon, the dwarf has brought two guards to meet Ye Zhao.

"Excuse me." Above the county government hall, Ye Zhao left Guan Hai, Meng Hu, Qiu Chi, and Gao Sheng, and all the other subordinates retreated, waving at the digging bald.

"Yes." Qiu Chi stood up.

"Do you know how many people and horses the Mohan tribe has gathered in this area of Qiushui?" Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi and said.

"Back to the Lord, the Namohan tribe has gathered two thousand people this time, all of them are elite warriors, and they are still in contact with the Xianbei people recently, and their subordinates feel that something is wrong, so they sent someone to report." Dig bald and bow.

Two thousand?

Ye Zhao frowned, don't look at the last time he won more with less, and defeated Aguli easily, that was because he had already figured out this person, and there were hidden dangers within the Aguli tribe itself, so he had a chance to take advantage of it, if it was really a confrontation between the two armies, even if there were twice as many troops at that time under the three thousand iron hooves, unless there was a particularly good terrain advantage and enough sophisticated equipment, otherwise it would only be crushed.

Now he doesn't know anything about this Mohan tribe, it is not easy to deal with these two thousand cavalry who come and go, it also takes time to prepare for trapping horses, and his recruit training has not yet been completed, at this time, even if he can win, it will be quite unfavorable to himself.

The most important thing is that the Mohan tribe is not nomadic this time, they are all strong people, and it is so close to Macheng, Ye Zhao doesn't think they are here to travel.

"Then the people of the Mohan tribe have been in contact with you?" Ye Zhao looked at the digging bald road.

"They have been here a few times, saying they want to move a group of herders here." The dwarf nodded.

"Qiu Chi." Ye Zhao turned his head to look at Qiu Chidao.

"Yes." Qiu Chi hurriedly stepped forward.

"Follow the digging and visit this new neighbor." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "Guan Hai is with you." ”

"What does the lord mean ......" Qiu Chi raised his head and looked at Ye Zhao.

"Let's see if there is a chance to cooperate with the Mohan tribe, if they really come to settle down, it is naturally best, if not, try to stabilize him, I will immediately leave for the bald tribe, you go there directly to find me." Ye Zhao stood up, turned his head to look at the dug bald and said, "How many warriors are there in the tribe now?" ”

"Back to the Lord." He smiled bitterly: "In the last battle, most of the warriors in the tribe were lost, and now there are only more than 500 people to fight. ”

"More than five hundred people...... Ye Zhao nodded and said: "Enough, inform Ding Li, and then lead five hundred people to the tribe of digging bald to join me, remember, go to the Mohan tribe, don't have a conflict with them, if he is not willing to cooperate, come back directly." ”

"Whoa!" Qiu Chi nodded and said.

"When necessary, you can show weakness." Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "Don't conflict with them, everything will be talked about after you come back, Guan Hai." ”

"Yes." Guan Hai took a step forward and bowed.

"Remember, the purpose of your trip is to protect Qiu Chi, no matter what happens, as long as you don't threaten Qiu Chi's safety, don't make a sound."

"Whoa." Guan Hai nodded.

"Go ahead." Ye Zhao waved his hand, motioned for everyone to leave, closed his eyes, and silently pondered about this matter.
