General Kali led the army to the rescue, and Dugan also wanted to help, no matter how bad it was, he could go to see if Burhan was secretly playing tricks, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by anxious nobles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info They don't dare to bother Burhan, then Dugan will naturally suffer.

That night, the entire Ejina camp was brightly lit, and the soldiers guarding the camp were all in good spirits to prepare for possible threats. Dugan and the other Turks stayed up all night, while Burhan lay asleep on his soft bed.

Early the next morning, everyone looked outside the camp gate with dark circles under their eyes, hoping that the Kali army would be able to rescue the supplies, and whether there were casualties in the Hechiti tribe was not their concern. From morning to noon and evening, when the sun was about to sink in the west, there was no news, and there was no news of the horses sent out. Many nobles can't eat and drink this day, and they really do their best. Some people even have a gloomy face, missing their family members who are far away. Think about the old and young in the family, think about the hungry people, tears are flowing down, at this time they can be regarded as the return of their nature, not cold-blooded and ruthless nobles. The feeling of loss spread through the crowd, and even Dugan sat weakly on the turf, wondering if he should discuss with Burhan and urgently transport a batch of supplies.

At this moment, the rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance attracted everyone's attention, and after a while, they saw the unique blue wolf banner of the Hechi Ti tribe rising on the horizon. The crowd could no longer hide their excitement and ran into the distance.

When Kali returned at the agreed time with Burhan, Burhan and Dugan went out to greet them, and as soon as they met, they asked, "General Kali!" What about the losses? ”

Kali had already been prepared, with a depressed look on her face, and then looked at the soldiers behind her who were also listless, as if they had lost the battle. Dugan was very surprised, how could the Hechi Ti tribe, which had always been known for its bravery, suffer in front of such an inaccessible tribe as the Mongols?

Kari said with a little sadness, "There is no big loss of personnel, but more than the usual supplies have been looted or burned, and by the time we go, the thieves have already retreated." ”

Burhan patted him on the shoulder and said, "All right! As long as people are okay. The two walked into the tent together, which was already full at this time, and when he saw Burhan enter, Dugan got up and said, "What about the loss?" ”

Burhan shook his head and said, "The loss of personnel is not large, but more than half of the materials have been looted and burned. ”

The nobles of Turghut had been prepared for bad news, but when they heard it with their own ears, the loss was even more intense. On weekdays, the loss of these supplies is definitely nothing, but in the days of extreme food shortages, it is very precious. People can't wait to eat a grain of rice in half, let alone be burned and looted? That heartache!

"Damn it, they're just a bunch of villains on the prairie, fox wolves, a bunch of beasts who make a living by plundering, they should really be cut with a thousand knives." "That's right! A thousand cuts! ”

Burhan never found out, when did the Turks have such a sense of justice? But then again, it's true that the set is not a thing, but as a blame-bearer, Burhan doesn't think he has done anything wrong. Scolding is enough, and what about the sleeve, Dugan is more concerned about how to distribute the remaining materials?

"Burhan Nephew! You see that the matter has come out, and it can't delay our transaction, right? ”

"Yes! The whole family is waiting for dinner! ”

Now how to divide the remaining supplies is the key. Dugan, as an elder and a Turghut Jinong, said unceremoniously, "Virtuous nephew of Burhan! I want all the remaining materials, and the price is still according to the previous agreement, okay? Gold and silver trading. ”

When Burhan heard this, he felt a chill, but Dugan could see that he encouraged others to trade slaves, while he represented the Khan with gold and silver, and made a good calculation. Originally, Burhan had endured his approach for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would be able to say such things at this point now, and his face was not ordinarily thick.

"Elder Dugan!" Burhan deliberately shouted his name in the hope of waking him up. "Elder Dugan! I've suffered such a heavy loss, you should always give me some compensation, right? ”

Dugan didn't speak, and someone immediately jumped out and said, "It's not the materials we robbed, why should we pay for it?" ”

Hearing this, Kali was immediately ignited: "Hmph! If it weren't for your lives, we'd have come all the way to deliver supplies here? How did they get looted by the traps? It's really kind and not rewarded! At the same time, he proposed to Burhan, "Childe! Let's go back! This business is doing angry. ”

"Hmm!" Burhan also felt that this was the case, and the two were about to leave together, but at this time they were stopped by a nobleman and said, "Burhan is a good nephew!" I, Bren, know that I am humble, so I will call you a good nephew. Virtuous nephew! I know that you Hechiti have suffered losses because of us, but we really need this batch of supplies to feed the old and young people. Saying that, he looked at everyone, and the other nobles responded with "Yes!" Oh, yes! ”

He continued: "That's it! It's not easy for everyone, the virtuous nephew handed over all this batch of grain to me and the other four, how about we let you get 20%? After saying that, the three nobles stood up again, and it was obvious that they had discussed it.

"Good!" Burhan actually waited for someone to come out and compromise when he couldn't hold his breath, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. For such a person who is on the way, Burhan will naturally not be stingy with "Good!" Uncle so declared that the righteous Boerhan was polite? He immediately made a big gift and said, "Just do what your uncle wants!" ”

Dugan, who was on the side, saw this scene in his eyes, and cursed angrily, "Bren! What are you doing? You are destroying unity. ”

"Solidarity?" Bren didn't plan to give Dugan face at this time, he retorted, "Elder Dugan! They say that you are merciful, but have you given us a small share of the grain you have exchanged for your gold and silver? No! We can only survive on our own, and if it weren't for the deal of the Hechiti tribe, we would all starve to death. ”

Bren's words made the Jinong blush, and at the same time woke up the other nobles. Since some people are willing to lower their prices, there are people who are even more ruthless. Immediately, someone shouted, "We all want it!" Give it to us! We make forty percent of the profits. Give it to us! "Forty percent here, and someone over there shouts "Fifty percent!" Immediately, someone said, "Sixty percent!" ”... Or even "Seventy percent!" "Eighty percent!".

Burhan and Kali looked at each other and laughed wildly, and this effect was exactly what they expected. Soon, the only supplies were snatched up, and Dugan, who had been buying with real money, did not get a single bit of food, and the competition was so fierce that he had to change his strategy and hold a grudge against the damned Buren and the cunning and treacherous Burhan to death.

The marketing effect of Burhan is obvious, and the nobles who originally intended to preserve their strength were unable to form an alliance and get rid of the influence of the Hechiti Department because of their competition with each other and the deliberate differentiation of Burhan. In order to be fed and clothed, they have no choice. After the residual heat of the old, weak, sick and disabled is released, only women and young people can survive. However, how many times can this kind of car loss be done?

This year's harsh winter seems to be unusually cold, and even in places where there is no heavy snowfall, it is common for cattle and sheep to freeze to death, which further exacerbates the food crisis in various departments. The Turghut tribe was better, they had the trade of the Hechiti tribe, and the losses were not great. However, the slave will always run out one day, and he can't lose all the youth, so what? Many of the Turks turned their minds on other tribes.

The Turgots are not all in the Turgots sphere of influence, and there are also many Dins and freedmen who are fleeing the brutal rule of the Khalkha Mongols, who are not affiliated with the Turks, and even the same tribe rarely moves around each other, and they are relatively independent and live in small groups of hundreds in this barren land. And now, they have to face the ferocious and powerful Turks.

"Chief! In front of it was a small group of four hundred people, all of whom had already been surveyed, and there were not many guards, and the camp could be taken down as long as the leader gave the next command. ”

The leader stood on the top of the hill and looked out at the place where there was a glowing fire in the distance, and his heart was quite proud. "It's another tribe of Zero Ding people, the number of people is okay, no more and no less, it's just right! Brothers! Take this camp with me, and our people will have no worries about food and clothing this winter. ”

After the leader finished speaking, the soldiers behind him brandished their sabers and let out a "Hula!" Is it a celebration? The leader stretched out his hands to calm the cheers of the crowd and said, "They are not worth mentioning in our eyes, but everyone should pay attention, if you can not kill people, try not to kill them, they are all our precious treasures!" ”

The leader began to fantasize about taking the camp again and harvesting more than 400 people, so that he could exchange enough food from the Hechiti tribe. Since the marketing strategy of Burhan**, the points strategy has also been introduced. That is, the more slaves traded, the higher the exchange rate will be, and they will also get good rewards, which makes many Turkut nobles ecstatic. As far as he knew, there were several slave catchers in the area, and he didn't want to delay the time and have another accident.

With a wave of the leader's hand, the cavalry rushed down the hill one after another, and with the momentum of the downhill, the camp of the Zero Ding people, which was not far away, arrived in an instant. When the rumbling hooves of horses were heard, the whole camp was in chaos. Experienced warriors are naturally able to discern how much of the enemy is from the sound of horses' hooves. Although they knew that they were invincible, they were still loyal to their duties and defended their homes and relatives with their own blood. When the horn of war sounds, men pick up their weapons, while the elderly and women hide their children and then find a place to hide from the fighting.

How many soldiers can there be in a small group of four hundred, and a hundred more people can afford it, and after a round of arrows from the Turk robbers, there are few people who can stand up and resist. The Turghut soldiers are already sophisticated, after all, after so many exercises, they are already able to do such things. They will only shoot at the rebels below the waist, so that even if they are injured, they will be easily healed and will not affect their appearance.

The wolf-like Turks used grappling hooks to pull down improvised fences and stormed the camp. The consequences can be imagined, what will they leave behind?

"Phew! This tribe is so poor that they don't even have food for ten days, it's poor! After cleaning up the battlefield, the leader couldn't help but scold, but seeing the three hundred and dozens of trophies behind him, this kind of complaint could be somewhat diluted.

The same tragedy was unfolding throughout the Zero-Ding tribe north of Kobdo-Benchagan, which provoked a revolt of the Zero-Ding. However, such a tragedy did not end there. It was not only the Turks who were affected by the disaster on the steppe, but who revealed the news of exchanging slaves for food, and gradually the scope of the trade expanded from the Turhut family to the Khalkha Mongols, the Tumut tribe, the Taobu and the Ordos tribes, and the slave hunting activities were also carried out among several large tribes.

Seeing the strings of slaves bound by ropes being sent to the Hechiti Department in a steady stream, Kali said worriedly, "Childe! You say, will we provoke a war among the Mongol tribes? ”

"Nope! ... I don't know! Burhan shook his head and said, "Whatever!" We didn't rob it, and we didn't offend anyone, and even if a war broke out, it wasn't our Hechiti tribe to blame. ”

"Hmmm! yes! When Burhan said this, Kari thought about it and stopped worrying about anything. But Burhan was a little uncomfortable, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Gali leave. He was calm in front of Kali just now, and he is also afraid now, these tribes are not something that the Hechiti tribe can provoke, and he will keep a low profile in the future.
