Jin Wu Dongsheng, a big battle passed, and the soldiers who had cleaned up the camp began to prepare breakfast.

A big victory also made the Xiaoguo army extremely excited, and the dilapidated camp was full of laughter. Of course, it was accompanied by the sound of the soldiers scolding the prisoners.

Zhao Xun sat in the position of the original leader of the Wei Department of the Southern Chamber, looking up and down at the captive in front of him, dressed in exquisite leather armor, as if he had been exchanged for it from a merchant in Youzhou. There is also a white mink fur outside, this thing is definitely a good thing, and it is not worse than Zhao Xun's body.

The tall and majestic man exudes a wild atmosphere. At this moment, he knelt on the bear fur carpet in front of Zhao Xun with a look of indignation.

"You're Mohofer of the South Chamberway?" Zhao Xun asked lightly.

The leader of the Nanmuro Wei Division, who looked lonely, but the fierce aura in his eyes was undiminished, snorted coldly and said, "Exactly! ”

"What? Not convinced? Zhao Xun smiled and said disappreciatively.

The head of the Southern Muro Wei tribe opened his mouth and said nothing. yes, not convinced? Is it really qualified to be unconvinced?

"What's your name? I heard that there are 10,000 households and 100,000 people in your southern chamber Wei department! Is it the strongest of the five divisions of Murowei? ”

The head of the Wei Department of the South Chamber didn't look at Zhao Xun, nor did he answer Zhao Xun's question.

Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate?" Now, outside the Great Tent, there are more than 13,000 captives, and they will all die here because of your uncooperation. Then, my army marched north and wiped out your southern chamber from the chamber and the chamber! You see, Pontus had the power! ”

Zhao Xun's words were faint, but they were a fatal blow to this leader.

The leader of the Southern Chamber Wei tribe gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "Meng Wu, the name of this leader's clan, Meng Wu! My southern Murwei tribe is the largest tribe of the Murwei tribe, with more than 30,000 households and 100,000 tribes. ”

"You've crossed the line! It stands to reason that the governor of Pontus should be annihilated by a foreign enemy like you who encroach on the territory of others. However, Pontus was merciful and decided to give you a chance! ”

"As the leader of a department, then you should also be able to understand the practice. Now I will give you two paths to choose, one is that you are determined to oppose me, I will fulfill you, and give you a good time, as for your tribe, even if I don't annex it, I think it will be swallowed by other tribes. The second option is for you to surrender to Pontus, remember, really surrender. Not only will the Pontus not kill you, but he will also trade with your troops, so that your troops will not worry about survival because of sudden disasters. What do you think? Zhao Xun gently stroked the Ling Xuan Sword in his fingers and said with a smile.

Meng Wu, the leader of the Wei tribe in the south room, changed his face constantly, and after a long time, his expression was relieved, and he said astringently: "I am willing to surrender, but you must provide food to our department immediately, and my department will exchange livestock, leather and war horses with you." Say, what should our ministry do? ”

"Oh? Quite self-aware! ”

Meng Wu sneered, "Offer us food, I don't think you just want to get a word of surrender from my mouth." ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "Okay, I can sell the grain to you." In addition, you are to provide five thousand cavalry for my use. They need to be stationed in my Youzhou, so those with families will also come along, and you need to provide war horses for these soldiers! ”

"In addition, I can sell you weapons, but I need you to echo the other Murwei tribes and start a war against the Black Water Warrior or the Liaodong Kingdom. With your relationship with the Tatars, they are definitely mortal enemies, so this is not a big problem for you, you say? ”

Meng Wu didn't know Zhao Xun's thoughts, not only to let himself provide troops to the Xiaoguo army, but also to let himself fight with the Yan people, so that he could fish in troubled waters. But what Zhao Xun said is also for the appetite of other chambers, if you can't get what you need from the Khitan territory, then sooner or later you will have to attack the Yan people. Now that he has the weapons provided by the Xiaoguo Army, he is naturally not afraid of the Tatans. But in this way, his own tribe will always be subject to the Xiaoguo army, and even ......

Meng Wu glanced at Zhao Xun deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how the Metropolitan Governor plans to do it in the future?" ”

Zhao Xun knew that what he wanted to ask was whether he also wanted to completely annex them like the Khitans. But Zhao Xun is still not interested in them. Not to mention the number of people, the main reason is that it is too cold here and not suitable for Han people to live. At the current level, it is difficult to connect directly with this place.

"Your Murowei will always be a vassal of my Xiaoguo army, of course, provided that you don't betray, otherwise...... As for those Murowei people like me in the Han Realm, my Xiaoguo Army naturally treats everyone equally, just like other races. Rest assured, Pontus has no interest in your affairs! ”

"Okay, I believe in the words of the Grand Duke, I am willing to surrender!"

"Well, the governor of Pontus will appoint you as the general of the Murwei Zhonglang, and the commander of the affairs of the Murwei, and I can open the trade between the two sides. Remember, you can raid anyone, but the caravan flying the Flaming Qilin Banner can't move. Not only must you not move, but you must also protect them, otherwise no merchant will want to come to you far away. ”

"Go and gather your men, explain the situation, and call up five thousand soldiers from here! Next time, you will bring their families with you, and at the same time prepare to trade materials and go to Dingbei City to exchange food. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

Meng Wu walked out without saying a word, ready to explain the current situation to his subordinates.

"My lord, why don't you recruit more soldiers from his subordinates? Will they fight the Devils? Zhu asked puzzled.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "There are only more than 100,000 people in their southern Wei department, and seven or eight thousand were killed, and five thousand were recruited by us, plus their families, how can they get it, it will also cost more than 15,000 people." In other words, they are left with just over 70,000 people. If they continue to be recruited, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the Murowei tribes. ”

"Actually, these soldiers have been recruited, and we also need to train ourselves, for us, it doesn't matter if there are these five thousand people, the important thing is to connect us with them, his people work for me, and you can also let other tribes know that the Southern Murwei tribe is a vassal of my Xiaoguo army!"

"Wei Dong, bring the seal letter we prepared! Originally, it was just a preparation, but it seems that this time it will come in handy. Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile.

"Yes! I heard that the people of Murowei still have deer, so get a few back and let the children play! Zhao Xun thought secretly.

Meng Wu quickly selected 5,000 people from among his subordinates, in fact, I heard that family members can also live in the land of Youzhou, and these people are not very difficult to accept. For surrendering to the Xiaoguo Army, the patriarchs of all clans just want to refuse, and they don't have the guts. Last night's battle was enough to warn them that this Xiaoguo army was not something they could provoke.

In addition, the tribal leader received the official position of Feng Yan State, and reached a trade agreement with the Xiaoguo army, which would also make their lives less embarrassing.

After the battle, Zhao Xun immediately led the army back to Dingbei City, and returned with 5,000 Wei troops. Of course, the current Murwei Army is far from being called an army, at least in Zhao Xun's eyes.

Meng Wu also brought more than 1,000 people with the army, with the purpose of getting a batch of grain back first. When he saw the life of those Khitan people in Dingbei City, he had an urge to stay here and not want to leave. The house is gorgeous and warm as spring. All kinds of delicacies make the tribal chiefs unable to find the north.

After staying for three days, Meng Wutong accepted Zhao Xun's appointment and accepted the position of general Wei Zhonglang of the guard. This protection of nature is not protection, but the meaning of care and guarding. Although Zhao Xun issued this appointment, it is not so legitimate, but who cares?

Meng Wu took Qiandan grain and thousands of livestock, returned to the camp in the north, and then slowly retreated into the Murwei Department. Naturally, they had to prepare corresponding horses and furs in exchange for these supplies. They lack others, but they really have a lot of all kinds of fur. For them, these are just things used to pave the floor and keep warm, which can be valuable, and they are already very satisfied to usher in the exchange for various Han materials.

Zhao Xun was in Dingbei City, and also met with the patriarchs of the Khitan Daji and the Kui Ben tribes. Maybe it's because of the strength of the Xiaoguo Army, which has made them lose confidence in confrontation. The patriarchs of both clans did not deliberately reorganize the armies within the tribes, and even relaxed the exploitation of the tribes. At the same time, he also cooperated with the Khitan Eight Banners to recruit soldiers, and some warriors from various departments joined the Khitan Eight Banners one after another.

Zhao Xun was very satisfied with the two of them, and encouraged them to open their own business. And gave them the same reward as the marquis, in Youzhou City, gave the mansion, and the other two were also treated equally.

The Mughal soon returned, with a large amount of fur and, in addition, a lot of medicinal herbs. Looking at some furs that have been put for I don't know how many years, Zhao Xun couldn't help but shake his head. In addition to these, some live roe deer, deer, were also brought.

It's a good thing, especially a roe deer, it's full of treasures. Seeing this, Zhao Xun remembered the idea of large-scale domestic raising. At present, there are many valuable animals and plants, which are hunted and gathered by people in the wild, and the concept of breeding has not yet been formed. Although there are some drawbacks to domestication, you can generate a lot of production and keep the wild ones from becoming extinct.

So Zhao Xun asked his Baiyu firm to order live deer and roe deer from Meng Wu to carry out controlled breeding in Dongsanfu.

"Governor, this time, we have also brought you three special gifts." Meng Wu said with a smile.

"Oh? What is it? Hearing that Meng Wu said this, Zhao Xun also became interested.

"This way!"

As Meng Wu moved forward to the rear of the convoy, Zhao Xun couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw what they had gotten. It turned out that there were three Siberian tigers, two big and one small.

You must know that this Siberian tiger is wild, and it is not a simple matter to capture it alive, it is much more difficult than killing it directly. Even if it's a kill, it's not easy.

Seeing that Zhao Xun was surprised, Meng Wu said: "This is me personally leading my subordinates to capture it, and I will give it to the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

"Good! Pontus took it! Looking at the big tiger with yellow and black stripes, Zhao Xun said happily.

Maybe he saw the enemy of the Mughul, or maybe he saw a group of strangers appear in front of him, and one of the big tigers suddenly roared.

At that moment, the war horses of the guards began to be irritable and beating, but the jade unicorn under Zhao Xun's crotch was silent, but Zhao Xun clearly felt that this guy was also a little nervous.

Stretched out his hand to wipe the long hair on the neck of the jade qilin, and said with a smile: "The king of beasts!" Yes, much tougher than the zoo tigers! ”

"Dadu, this war horse is a BMW!" Meng Wu looked at Zhao Xun's mount and couldn't help but sigh.

"Come on, bring these three kings of beasts back to me, and Pontus will get them back to Youzhou City!" King of Beasts! and submit to the governor of Pontus. ”

"Be careful, this tiger is not a good stubble!" Meng Wu said hurriedly. If Zhao Xun really encountered an accident in the tiger's mouth, then it would be bad for him.

"It's okay!"

Zhao Xun knew that under normal circumstances, the Siberian tiger generally did not harm humans and animals lightly, unless it was extremely hungry or felt threatened. They prefer to catch wild boars that destroy forests, roe deer hunters, and wolves more than humans. Besides, any animal, who gets along for a long time, will not hurt the owner who feeds him for no reason. He wasn't one of those people who sat tall in a room and thought it was a man-eating thing when he heard about a tiger.

As a result, the first formal trade between the Xiaoguo Army and the Murwei was reached, and after seeing that the Xiaoguo Army had no intention of interfering in its internal affairs and that its trade was fair, he let go of his worries. In the future, he naturally wanted to negotiate with Zhao Xun about the sale of weapons, and with the weapons of the Xiaoguo Army, he could not be afraid of other clans, and he also had the confidence to fight with the Yan people.

Zhao Xun also wanted them to compete with the Tatar people to reduce the pressure on his north. In response to their needs, Zhao Xun also agreed as appropriate, selling the scimitars and inferior weapons that he had replaced. Of course, bows and crossbows and armor are naturally not for sale. Merchants are also strictly forbidden to buy and sell such goods. Of course, Rao is only an ordinary sword, which is enough to make Meng Wu happy.

As for the detailed details of the transaction, the Chief Secretary for Administration and the Secretary for Commerce will negotiate with Meng Wu, and Zhao Xun only needs to take care of the general direction. Now the focus is still on the construction of the five prefectures in Beiding.
