184 Invitations from the steppe

Cheng Jian, Jian Ba, and hurried to the valley where he was located, looking for Pei Yuanshao. This valley is a little far from Xiaobai Village, and it took almost a day to get there. At this time, in the valley, the horse thief was packing up his supplies and preparing to evacuate.

Cheng Jian and the two found Pei Yuanshao and told him Xiaobai's suggestion.

Pei Yuanshao faced a large pile of excess materials, and had some headaches on how to deal with it. Since Xiaobai wanted it, he was also generous, nodded and said, "It's okay, these materials will be sold to Xiaobai cheaply." 1 ploughing ox, 500 copper for chariots and horses, 200 copper for sheep, 100 copper for dogs, 200 copper for cloth, and 300 copper for silk. Grain 1 stone 100 copper. 50 copper for wine, 20 copper for clay pottery, etc. (1 stone grain 200 copper, for the Eastern Han Dynasty low price.) ）

Jian Ba roughly counted the total number of items, and calculated that there were 20 ploughing cattle, 100 chariots and horses, 200 sheep, 20 dogs, 920 stones of grain, and 20 cloths. The rest of the things that are not of much use are not counted. Xiaobai Village can now spend 150 guan to acquire these valuable items.

He said: "It's just that ploughing cattle is too expensive, and I hope that the leader of Pei Da can reduce the price." How about I buy all the cattle, grain, cloth, etc., and a few more sheep, horses, and dogs? Excess items can't be bought. ”

Pei Yuanshao knew that unless he found other buyers in a short time, these items would be discarded, and said: "It's okay to drop it, it's half the price of the cattle." ”

Jian Ba picked a lot of items, calculated the total price, and converted a total of 120 copper coins to Pei Yuanshao, and paid it again in Xiaobai Village.

Pei Yuanshao just sold these stolen goods, and he got so many copper coins at once, and he was very satisfied. 120 copper is equal to 1 gold and 2 taels of silver.

There are also many sheep, chariots and horses, and Xiaobai Village does not have so much money to buy them. Pei Yuanshao could only take it and slaughter it himself, which just saved a lot of food for the horse thieves.

The horse thieves pulled a large amount of grain with horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, and those who could not be loaded on the carts were carried on horsebacks to drive some animals to Xiaobai Village. Leaving an empty valley and a few humble possessions left behind. It was soon swept away by players from the villages near the valley, leaving no scum behind.

After Jiang Hu and Jiang Ti became the leaders of the township, they were responsible for training the bloody militia in Xiaobai Village.

Spring and Autumn Shaoxia, Ah Fei and others, although they can lead the militia to upgrade, they are not good at training. The rest of the NPCs, such as Wang Gun and Zhao Wu, have never led soldiers and are not suitable for training. Therefore, these two NPC generals from Jiangjia Village shouldered the heavy responsibility of training the militia.

A village militia camp was specially built in the village, and every day at dawn, Jiang Hu led the bloody militia to start "drilling" training, familiarizing themselves with formations, assassination, and fighting. Then they made routine patrols outside the village and changed the guard with the militia who had stood guard all night.

At Jiang Ti's strong request, Zhan Xiaobai agreed to let her form a 10-member NPC female militia, led by Jiang Ti and under the jurisdiction of Qiushui. It's an NPC female guard in Qiushui.。

Zhan Xiaobai's guards are the warrior Zhou Meng, and there are also bloody militia No. 1~5. Usually they stay in the administrative compound, guarding and standing guard. Zhan Xiaobai accompanied him when he went out and was responsible for security.

The militia guards came to report: "Report, sir! A Qiang person sent a letter for your lordship to look at. ”

Zhan Xiaobai took it and took a look.

It is a simple invitation letter: I have heard the name of Xiaobai for a long time, and I am very sorry that I have not been able to see it. Five days later, there will be a grand meeting in the Xiliang tribes, which will be held in our tribe, and I hope that the head of Xiaobai Village will participate on time, and he will definitely be hospitalized. Signed: Beigong Boyu.

"What about the Qiang?"

"My lord, after this person has delivered the letter, he has already left and headed south."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded. The Beigong tribe was in Qinghai to the west, and after the messenger sent the letter, he went to the south, but he was afraid that he would go to other villages. It seems that he will be the only village chief who has received the invitation.

Five days, deducting the day to deliver the letter, that is to say, there are four days before there will be a grand meeting of the tribes. Although I don't know what kind of famous hall Beigong Boyu is doing, I will definitely go there in the past.

The use value of the Qiang people is very large. Horses, wealth, and soldiers will eventually be obtained from the Qiang people. in order to achieve their own expansion goals.

"Inform all the officials, army commanders, and key members in the village that I will arrange village affairs and then go to the grassland as a guest."

"Yes!"

......

Qinghai grassland, a large Qiang tribe. Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and several Qianghu chiefs from other tribes were deliberating.

"The opportunity for our tribes to form a Qiang tribal alliance is ripe, and a total of dozens of large tribes have replied that they are ready to join, and this grand event will surely unite the strength of our Qiang people. Even Zhang Jiao, a great sage and mentor who is wise all over the world, sent someone to send a handwritten letter, wanting to be an alliance with me. I think the rest of the tribes on the steppe who are still waiting and seeing, they will also be quickly convinced by our strength. ”

Beigong Boyu saved a letter and took it out for everyone to admire. While looking at everyone's expressions.

Chief Zhuqiang Hu respectfully took it, looked at them one by one, talked in a low voice, and looked at Beigong Boyu's gaze, which couldn't help but be a little more awe-inspiring. Even Li Wenhou is no exception. Among the Qiang tribes, he and the Beigong Department are the most powerful, and they are also the natural candidates for the leader of the alliance. It's just the prestige of Beigong Boyu, and Zhang Jiao's secret letter of the alliance, I'm afraid that this alliance leader is none other than Beigong.

"This is all the prestige of the Great Chief of the North Palace, and the great sage and good teacher still want to ally with the Great Chief and raise troops together, this matter will definitely be done."

"Yes, Grand Chief Mubaohan is right. Now we're getting stronger, and we're getting stronger allies. The court has been bullying me for a long time, and my grassland tribes should unite as soon as possible, raise troops together, kill the officials in Liangzhou, and return me a clean grassland. ”

"Exactly! I, the Qiang Hu boys, can fight well, but with the words of the big chief of the Beigong, I will not hesitate to kill the officials and destroy the officials. ”

"Okay, it's all up to your support!"

"Brother Boyu, except for the imperial court. Look at the thousands of villages in Liangzhou, how to deal with it? One village may be small, but thousands of villages add up to millions, far more than we have. And they are all over the territory of Liangzhou, and they can meet them when they go there, and their strength should not be underestimated. If they get in the way, or if they throw themselves on the side of the court, it will be a great obstacle for us to raise troops. If we win them over one by one, we don't have so much wealth. ”

"Well, Brother Wen Hou doesn't need to worry. For these villages, Brother Wei already has an idea. There are seven counties in Wuwei, each with hundreds of villages. But there are not many powerful villages among them. Dozens of the most powerful large and medium-sized villages in our seven counties have been brought over, so the villages will definitely follow suit and fall to our side. In this way, the villages have nothing to fear. At the same time as our Qiang tribal alliance this time, I have contacted 50 villages in Liangzhou to come to the grassland to participate in this grand event. As long as they are allowed a little benefit and let them stand on our side, then the whole of Liangzhou is in our pocket. ”

"I don't know which villages were invited?"

"For example, the world-famous Xiaobai Village, Wuwei County's Warring States Village, Hubao Village, Xiping County's Dihuang Village, Wild Wolf Village, Jincheng County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County...... Wait a minute. Xiaobai Village can wait for our benefits and rebel together, which will surely attract quite a few villages to join us. Hmph, if any of the villages dare to oppose us, then we're welcome. ”

"Brother Boyu is clever!" "The Great Chief of Beigong is smart!"

"Haha, where, where! It's getting late, so let's rest early. Tomorrow, I will send people to contact the various tribes and gather them all as soon as possible to discuss the alliance. ”

...........

Cheng Jian, Jian Ba and Pei Yuanshao had three hundred horse thieves and transported many supplies back to Xiaobai Village. After Pei Yuanshao got 120 yuan, he left with Wang Laohu and the horse thief brothers, and disappeared into the Xiliang wilderness, not knowing what to do.

Zhan Xiaobai summoned the players and NPC backbones in the village and held a small meeting to arrange everyone's tasks. Now that the village has all the civil and military officials, and all the work is being carried out in an orderly manner, there is nothing important now, and there is no leakage.

No movement was found on the outside. There are Hubao Village in the south, Wutong Village in the east, Hualing Village and Daqi Village in the west, and Hutoushan Village in the south. No village has yet had the ability to break through the outer Allied defenses and directly invade Xiaobai Village.

Therefore, Zhan Xiaobai can also rest assured that he can go to the grassland with peace of mind.

Zhan Xiaobai said goodbye to everyone in the village, took a few items from the secret vault, and went to the southwest steppe with Ah Fei, NPC warrior Zhou Meng, horse thief Cheng Jian, old hunter Lu Shan, and five members of the light and dark team. One is to look for grassland wild horses to see if they can be tamed and establish a base. The second is to participate in the grand event invited by Beigong Boyu to see what kind of fame they are doing.
