More than ten miles west from Eagle Claw Fort, Ah Man and his men met the rangers of Tawolfwa, and the rangers who had received the report did not embarrass them, but only collected the weapons of the four men and took them to the main camp.

Although there was no nervous expression on his face, Aman's big hand holding the reins was still tight and tight, and he, who was following behind a dozen rangers, suddenly regretted this military mission; But now that he was almost at the camp, he was too late to run.

Even if Baihu transferred Atta over to accompany him on this trip, Ah Man still didn't think that he could get out of the way, after all, he had heard of Ta Wolfwa's reputation in this grassland for many years.

If it weren't for the pitiful size of the Galen tribe, perhaps he would have been drafted into the army of Tawolfwa and became a cavalryman.

Atta, who followed closely beside Aman, as a strong man in the Galen tribe, although he was selected into the personal guard of the hundred households, but the things in the personal guard, Ah Man really didn't know very well.

It's just that Atta, who was originally silent, walked to Ah Man's side this time, not only his expression was more indifferent, but the momentum exuded from his body, Ah Man faintly understood that Baihu was still not very at ease with him, this seemingly reliable guard, if he didn't deal with any of them, he would immediately turn his face.

"Hey, let's take one step at a time, whoever is the subordinate must not fight, life and death are fate, Changshengtian will not easily take me away," Ah Man, who knew that the strength of the grassland was superior, swallowed a mouthful of saliva sourly, and clamped the war horse with his legs, urging the horse to speed up.

An hour later, when Ah Man and his party arrived outside the camp, several fierce Tartar swordsmen stepped forward, shaking their pigtails and shouting for them to dismount.

"Pap, papa," the big hand slapped on them, the half of the leather armor under the leather jacket, the Tartar soldiers didn't care, but Ah Man's face shook a few times, and the sturdy cloth armor was tied under the leather armor, and the heavy circle of objects on it had already made fine sweat break out on his forehead.

After a cursory inspection, a centurion led them into the camp, passing through the rows of cowhide tents, smelling the familiar smell of cattle and sheep, Ah Man suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach, yes, the military camp he had envied earlier, now he didn't seem to be able to see it.

The Tartar soldiers on both sides with fierce eyes, the leather armor and iron armor with rough eyeholes, the scimitar, horn bow, mace, and dirty leather boots on the body, made Ah Man stomp his feet subconsciously, and the short-waisted leather boots on his feet were exactly the same as the three guards behind him, black hard soles and soft bodies, strong and durable, far from being the different lengths and colors of these Tartar soldiers.

When a tall cowhide tent appeared in front of him, with long black tassels hanging from the spire, Ah Man knew that this tent in the middle of the camp was the leader of this army.

Outside the big tent, thirty Tartar knife hands with big shoulders and round waists, surrounded by the tent door violently, led by a tall man, bald with oily pigtails around him, a pair of gloomy eyes on his face, stared at Ah Man and they looked at them for a while, waved his hand, and a knife hand next to him turned around and entered the tent.

The centurion who led the way, after leading Ah Man and them outside the tent, left without saying a word, and did not greet Ah Man at all.

Ah Man, who was surrounded by these knife hands, his face turned white, he was not frightened, he was choked by anger, and the two sides negotiated on the grassland, at least the subordinates would not be rude, but these knife hands pressed the scimitar handle on their waists, provocatively blocking all sides, I am afraid that they would like them to scream and cause trouble.

In addition to the indifferent Ata, the other two Aman's guards, their cheeks puffed out a few times, and they lowered their heads with anger, now is not the time to make trouble, if it ruins the big things of the hundred households, it will be an unforgivable crime.

"You guys, take off your armor and go in on your knees," the tall man stared at Ah Man with his head tilted his head for a while, and then he popped out a few words hoarsely, and Ah Man looked at the tent with blank eyes, and there was not even a little movement in it.

This is the center of the camp, not to mention that there are countless Tartar soldiers around, but there are these thirty or so people in front of him, Ah Man is not an opponent, and the other party doesn't even need to move the guy, just with his fists, he can beat him to the ground.

With a sweep of the corner of his eye, Ah Man found that behind these people, there were four wide leather bags, and he couldn't help but buzz in his head, and his fists were clenched; If they can't get through this level, they will be stuffed into leather bags and trampled to death by horses' hooves.

"If any of you can fight with me, as long as you can win me, you can stand and walk in," said the tall man, shaking his neck from side to side, making a crunching sound, and grinning with big yellow teeth.

Boom, the Tartar swordsmen next to them giggled, and directly dispersed, giving way to a clearing; In their opinion, the lieutenant general of the guard, this is to tease people, of course, the means will not be so peaceful, and it is normal to see a little blood.

As long as you don't kill people, you won't blame the captain, but I haven't seen the summons from inside.

"You," looked up at this tall man, Ah Man's chest was full of anger, and he was doused with a burst of ice water, and he only now realized that it seemed that people really didn't value this negotiation.

The trembling shoulders were held down by the big hand, and when Ah Man came to his senses, he found that his hand had reached into the leather jacket and pinched the bundle of fire ropes, and suddenly sweated like rain.

"Brother Man, I'll come," Atta pulled Ah Man behind him, looking at Ah Man's eyes, with a slight smile, the people in Baihu's eyes are different, if the enemy can't be defeated, he wants to die together, and he can't suffer at will.

Perhaps, that precious is a potion, and Baihu will give one to Brother Man, thinking secretly in his heart, Atta stepped forward, his brown eyes, and looked directly at this tall man coldly, "Talking counts?" ”

"Phew, Lao Tzu spat a nail in one mouthful, and the soft egg knelt down and took off his leather armor," spat disdainfully and thick phlegm, and the tall man tore open his leather jacket in a loud way, revealing his strong tendon flesh.

"Good," after a stingy remark, Atta slammed into it, and the fist that was shrunk at his side slammed into it.

Before the tall man could take a stance, the guy on the other side arrived in front of him, like a stone hitting him in the chest, and what annoyed him the most was that he was punched hard above his collarbone.

"Bump, poof," the tall man Uhamu, as the deputy general of the personal guard of the captain Ta Wolf Wa, was directly knocked into the air, crackling and knocking over several personal guards. The Tartar swordsmen in Ah Man's eyes, that is, the guards of the Tawolf Wa, suddenly fell silent.

The first warrior in the camp, Uhamu, was hit like this and rolled to the ground with a disgraced face, but it was the first time he met him.

"Ahem, ahem," Uhamu, who was clutching his sternum, stood up with a flushed face, and the anger in his eyes made the stuffy air suddenly scorch.

"You, dare to sneak attack?" The Uhamu, who couldn't hold his face anymore, pointed at Atta, who was standing still, and after taking a few breaths, he tore off his leather jacket a few times, took off the scimitar at his waist, and threw it to the guards on the side, "Come, let the deputy general try your skills,"

The corners of Ata's mouth twitched slightly, if he was in the field just now, he could smash this tall man's throat bone by moving his fist up an inch, but he couldn't kill this guy at once, he could only wait for the opportunity later.

"Ah," a strange scream, waving his fist Uhamu, bully forward, the big fist hung with the sound of the wind, slammed into Aman's head, eager to smash Aman's head with a punch.

If Atta tries to dodge the fist, Uhamu has a chance to strangle or even strangle him with bullfighting as long as he holds the opponent.

The empty door is wide open, in the eyes of Aman, not only is his speed a little slower, but his fighting skills are also poor; You must know that the hunters in the Hundred Household Guards are all dealing with wild boars and wolves all year round, and although the fighting skills brought by them are ugly and unsightly, they pay attention to the fastest and effective killing, saving time and effort.

"Peng," Aman's fist and Uhamu directly collided, and with the crisp sound of bone cracking, Uhammudeng took a few steps back, holding his injured right hand, and looked at Atta with a blank face in horror.

"Who won?" Atta squinted at the Uhamu, if this thing wanted to step forward again, he wouldn't mind jumping up and punching him a few times, there were dead and wounded during the fight on the grassland, and the death of those who didn't admit defeat couldn't blame others.

Atta didn't see the murderous intent in his eyes, but he could feel that he had kicked the iron plate today, and he hurriedly retreated to order the guards to do it.

"Hahahaha, yes, it's my warrior on the grassland, and only on the grassland can there be such a wrestler," At this moment, there was a surprised laughter at the door of the tent, and Lanelt had been watching the battle for a while.

The tower wolf tile next to Lanelt, at this time, his face was as heavy as ink, and he glared at Uhamu viciously, this Mongolian warrior, he still used a lot of money to recruit him, it turned out to be just a showman.

In the face of Ranelt's compliment, Atta just bowed, took a few steps back, and retreated behind Aman.

"The leader of the Galen tribe, Manshanzi, has seen two elders of ten thousand husbands," Ah Man saw that the main lord had come out, and hurriedly stepped forward, raised his feet and bowed, and raised his hands in front of him with a deep salute, full of steppe Tatar etiquette.

Originally, he was the tribal leader in the territory of Tawolfwa, and he wanted to kneel and bow when he saw Tawolfwa, but now the two sides are not so friendly, since they are going to negotiate, then the identity is reciprocal.

"Hmph, come in and talk," Tawolf Wa glared at Ah Man unkindly, and turned into the big tent; If it weren't for Uhamu's promise, he would have had someone pull Ah Man under the flagpole and whip him first.

"Haha, my family has a little conflict, just put it out and say it's good, come on, come in and talk," Aman's humility and arrogance made Lanelt's heart move, and he stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Aman's arm, and enthusiastically let him into the big tent.

In the big tent, Ta Wolf Wa sat on the head, Lanelt and Ah Man sat on both sides of the head, Atta and the three of them had no weapons on them, and no one stopped them when they followed Ah Man in, so they stood directly behind Ah Man.

In the wide tent, Ta Wolf Wa looked at Ah Man, and snorted coldly a few times, without a good face at all, "Leader of the Barbarian Mountain, that stone castle is owned by your tribe?" ”

"Yes, we asked someone to build it," Ah Man nodded.

"Well, within a radius of thousands of miles here, it is the grassland that Jinong is assigned to Captain Ben Wan, your stone fort has been recruited, and it will be given out immediately, and all the materials in it must not be moved," Ta Wolfwa's words not only made Ah Man's face change, but even Ranelte, who was sitting with him, also sneered in his heart.

"Captain Tawolf Vawan, that's not what you said in your letter,"

"So what, hum, if it weren't for Jinong's military order this morning, my army would have swarmed up, a stone fort, and trampled on a meal of effort,"

"That's what you don't have to say?" Ta Wolfwa's words made Ah Man unable to sit still, and suddenly stood up, "Since we can't talk, let's see you on the scimitar,"

"Tsk, want to go?" Ta Wolf raised the corners of his eyebrows, and sneered, "This official's big tent, how can you let you leave if you want, come here, drag it down and beat a hundred horse whips first,"

Hula, more than a dozen guards broke in with waist knives, and surrounded Ah Man and them.

Made, knowing that it was no good to come, Ah Man, whose face twitched non-stop, snapped and pulled open his belt, revealing the yellow leather armor under his leather jacket.

His actions made Ta Wolf Wa even more furious, and he slapped the wooden case, "Presumptuous, pull down the official and beat him hard, kill him and drag him out to feed the wolf,"

"Hey, hey, slow, slow down," the red-faced Lanelt hurriedly stood up and bowed to Ta Wolf Wa, "Captain Ta Wolf Wawan, since the leader of the Barbarian Mountains is here to talk, give him a chance, let him finish his words, it is best if he can not use swords, everyone is a brother on the grassland, why bother to fight to the death,"

Under the persuasion of Lanelt, Ta Wolf Watt suppressed his anger, waved his hand to let the guards out, picked up the silver bowl on the table, drank a bowl of milk wine, wiped the wine stains on his chin and beard, and squinted at Ah Man, who was sitting still, "Okay, let's talk about compensation first,"

"This official has thousands of dead and wounded subordinates, since your Galen tribe wants to reconcile, come up with benefits,"

"Nearly half of the warriors in my tribe have been killed or wounded, what should the captain say," Aman did not show weakness, he understood, anyway, this negotiation is to put it bluntly, everyone is not benefited, so it is necessary to seek the greatest benefit.

In a-for-tat situation, even Ranelte rubbed his teeth, this small Galen tribe, the head of the group turned out to be a stunned young man, and he didn't know how he mixed up on the grassland.

Seeing that Ta Wolf Wa was about to get angry again, Lai Nert had to stand up again, "The leader of the Barbarian Mountain, the head of Ta Wolf Wawan has the responsibility of defending the land, if it weren't for Jinong's urgent call, he wouldn't have given up easily in this conflict,"

"But my tribes on the grassland should unite with each other and unite with each other, and it is right for your tribe to be recruited as warriors and sacrifice cattle and sheep,"

"Now that Captain Tawolf Wawan is merciful, he doesn't want your department to dissipate on the grassland, and your department shows sincerity, then there is no need to talk about it,"

Like the interior of the Ming Dynasty, if the small tribes on the grassland do not belong to the big tribes and hand over a certain number of people, cattle, sheep and horses on time, it is inevitable that they will be annexed, and the leaders must naturally be destroyed.

"Our people are scarce, so we will be exempted from recruiting warriors," Atta thought for a moment, shook his head and rejected Ranart's kindness, "However, you can hand over your cattle and sheep to Captain Tawolf Wawanfu in order to gain shelter,"

Spending money to eliminate disasters is also the last word on the grassland.

However, Tawolfwa and Lanelt were not interested in the so-called cattle and sheep and property, but the firearms in the stone fort.

"I want the firearms in your hands," Tawolf Wa was not as slick as Ranelte, and he said his thoughts directly.

"Firearms can be traded, they are the goods left by the Persian caravans, and my tribe can't afford to lose sincere friends," Ah Man nodded, and responded to Ta Langwa's strong request, which was also explained by Xiao Ye.

Anyway, the rear loading fire/gun has been discovered by the two major forces in the north and south, and there are even some of them in hand, if Xiao Ye hides the buckle and rope again, the consequences are unpredictable, so it is better to take it out and exchange it for what he needs.

"Persian caravans? No wonder," Tawolfwa and Lenert looked at each other, and did not speak thoughtfully, in the bottom of their hearts, both of them were thinking that in the future, they must intercept the Persian caravan, and the benefits can be held in their hands to be at ease.

This stone fort covered in thorns, and the stone fort in the valley, if they don't cause trouble, Tawolfwa doesn't mind keeping them for a few more days, and when he has the artillery, he will come back to the pot completely.

Seeing that the two captains didn't speak, Ah Man took out a few lists, which indicated the types of goods that could be traded, "We need herbs, cattle, sheep, horses, and minerals, and the future trade will be near Eagle Claw Fort,"

Talon Fort? Hmph, Ta Wolf Watt pursed his lips disdainfully, "How to compensate the warriors who were killed and injured by this official?" ”

You're not done yet, Aman's head is full of green tendons, and he was about to burst his mouth, when Atta coughed behind him, blocking the words behind his front teeth.

"Well, this time my tribe brought a gift to the captain, it depends on whether it can be like the magic eye of the captain, and the right is regarded as compensation," gritting his teeth, Aman lowered his head and endured it.

The two leather bags on the war horse outside were quickly taken in by the guards, and the leather ropes were untied and the contents fell to the ground with a bang.

"Ten pocket watches, worth 50,000 taels of silver, Captain Wan can send someone to Gansu Town to inquire, fifty short fires/guns, two thousand projectiles, after the Captain's personal guard is equipped, the defense will not leak,"

"The warriors who died in battle in the stone castle, the dead have been buried in the ground, and the wounded thirteen have been properly healed, and they can be sent back at any time,"

A few simple words made Tawolfwa's face a lot more relaxed, and he also knew that now that the weather was hot, what kind of Eagle Claw Fort didn't want to have a plague, but he still had to dispose of the corpses as soon as possible, and it was unexpected to treat the wounded.

"Okay, the area from the Gobi Desert to the southern foot of the Altai Mountains is 300 miles, and it is divided into the pastures of the Galen tribe, and the annual tribute is 5,000 taels," Lisuo responded to the forgiveness of the Galen tribe, and Tauraowa unceremoniously distributed the tribute according to the maximum tax limit.

This was originally the pasture where the Cailun tribe had lived for generations, and the water and grass conditions were rough, but the largest fist of the Tawolf tile didn't care who the grass under his feet should belong to; From ancient times to the present, even hundreds of years later, the natural law of the jungle is still valid, but the sharp claws and sharp teeth have been replaced by chopsticks, knives and forks.

The negotiations on the grassland, once reached, will be effective verbally, and the implementation is much more sincere than the agreement on the paper of the Ming Dynasty, but there is also a time limit, maybe the winter Tawolf tile will regret it, but fortunately, everyone can put down the knife and gun.

The negotiation with each mind ended quickly, and just as Aman got up to say goodbye, Ta Wolf Wa said gloomily, "There are a lot of Han people in your tribe, and the fire/gunners were trained by them."

If he hadn't stormed that stone fort, the damage would have been small, and he would have been able to negotiate with a small tribal leader, a young leader who was stubborn and not afraid of death, and it would be useless to keep it in his hands.

The unruly tribal leader on the grassland, Ta Wolf Wa has seen a lot, not only is he not worried, but he appreciates it very much, this is the source of his cavalry in the future, if Xiao Ye sends an old and sleek person, maybe Ta Wolf Wa will not let people go easily.

"Hehe, the gunners brought by Captain Wan last year are probably all Ming people, amazing, almost knocked down Shiguantun," Ah Man smiled, took off his leather jacket, and slowly untied the leather armor on his body.

The three guards behind him took off their leather armor at the same time when they saw this, revealing a circle of earth-shattering thunder on their bodies, and the fire rope was held in their hands.

Although the two sides reached an agreement, whether they can all go back alive depends on Ta Wolfwa's mood, he is obviously in a bad mood today. As long as he lets someone go back, it doesn't count as a breach of contract.

When they saw the earth-shattering thunder on the four of them, Tawolfwa and Lanelt's faces shook, but they didn't expect that these four people were all dead, so the threat didn't matter.

The four fast horses galloped away, and the tower, who was standing in the camp, had a twinkle in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, and Ranelt seemed a little anxious, and hurried back to his camp.

Needless to say, from today onwards, monitoring the caravan coming from the north on this grassland has become a private contest between the two.

"Stomp, trample," a team of fast horses galloped over, Wo Haoge jumped off the war horse from a distance, and quickly ran close to the front to salute, "Master Wanfu, the grain and grass of the rear team have arrived, and we can pull out the camp and return to Yinshan tomorrow,"
