In this way, hundreds of lives of the two teams of men and horses were lost.

Their death was definitely lighter than Hongmao, because when Li Shushi returned to Pingcheng later, he didn't hear any news about these people at all, and he didn't know if someone deliberately blocked it, or if there were too many similar things happening here.

Because their death did not serve as a warning sign for others to pay attention, Li Shushi's "caravan" still encountered their "peers", and there were more than one group, not even the same race.

In other words, this is the racial talent "Lucky E", or is it born with a mocking face (FFF group, how can there be no taunt effect when it comes out with a group of wings, burn!! Anyway, Li Shushi's trade route trip this time can be called a lot of disasters and difficulties.

Well, as long as he thought of this word, Li Shushi felt that he was not possessed by the soul of a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Well, that's right, the reason why Li Shushi thinks so is not only because of the many disasters, but also because he is surrounded by a group of all kinds of goblins along the way, although there are few to eat, but at least on the surface it still looks a little bit like Elder Tang - it's a pity that the version he plays is a funny "called beast" version, not the suave Xu Shaohua version.

However, in addition to being often coveted, this trip was at least commercially successful, not only did they sell the goods they carried with them to the steppe tribes in exchange for many grassland goods that were in high demand in the Central Plains, but they even sold the pastures belonging to two small tribes to five other small tribes. A medium-sized tribe was also sold to their enemies.

The last two transactions allowed Li Shushi to make more profits, and also made his team vent a lot.

The victorious warrior rode his horse back, leading a horse laden with booty in his left hand and a horse tied to his beloved girl in his right hand.

Although it is not a poem, and Li Shushi cannot write anything that moving, the description of this paragraph is at least accurate enough.

What the? Why is the beloved girl tied to a warhorse, you ask?

Oh, brother, you must know that sometimes you like someone but they may not like you, but considering that the environment on the grassland in this era and this era is so harsh, you must not let your beloved girl suffer on the grassland. Maybe she can't understand your thoughts. But as long as you sincerely let her see your shining points, there will always be a day when she opens up to you.

As for the use of "light" violence in the process of this conquest, considering that the purpose is good, the warriors are also kind-hearted. Don't say more about these details. It affects feelings, doesn't it?

Although it is a pity that Li Shushi does not know what kind of trade routes his caravan has established. I don't know if this action will wash away the Dragon King Temple, but considering that they are adhering to the principle of "people don't offend me, the teacher of civilization; If anyone sins against me. The spirit of "chasing the dead and chasing the north" should not be like the biggest boss that the protagonist needs to challenge in some novels.

It is said that since changing jobs and becoming a magical profession of a traverser, Li Shushi feels that his brain hole is getting bigger and wider.

In other words, if the common people's path to prosperity can be the same as their own brains, will the world be more peaceful?

Or will it create more pink eye, so why don't we just destroy it together?

Forget it, don't think about it so much, more than a month has passed, and it's time to go home.

"The situation in the north may be more chaotic than we expected, and it can even be said to be a little intense."

On the journey back to Pingcheng, Li Shushi seemed to be talking to himself, but I don't know when, two men with their faces covered, leaving only a pair of sharp and cruel eyes came behind him, one left and one right, like guards.

"Isn't that good for us? Those 'mysterious people' slaughtered the steppe tribes in this way, but they saved us a lot of effort. ”

"If it is placed on weekdays, filial piety is extremely reasonable, and this grassland civil strife can help us and others. It's just that if you expect it to be good, this time the enemy's purpose is not so simple, and it is precisely because of this that Yuwen Tuo's behavior is so weird. ”

"Do you think the other party will respond to the kindness you throw? Although he couldn't object, he still didn't dare to agree. ”

"Unless he is foolish and loyal to the Timber Man, or the Sandalwood Locust, like the Micah who has always stood firm, he should send us a friendly signal. He was one of those who witnessed the incident, and now it is becoming clearer, although I have only met him briefly before, but I think he should make the right choice in the face of such an enemy. ”

The cold wind gradually began in the north and continued to invade the south, and the meadows in the northern grasslands turned from tender green to dry yellow. Soldiers who have been raising war horses that have become fat and strong for a year, and warriors who have been recuperating for more than half a year, have the strongest strength in the grassland at this time.

Although the grassland does not choose to go south at this time of year, especially in the past few years, they have gone around the state, and it can even be said that the grassland has no ability to go south on a large scale - there are Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du in Youzhou, the former is a ruthless military nobleman, and the latter is an ambitious careerist who intends to divide one side. Bingshuo is Li Shushi's territory, he did not send troops to the north on a large scale has already made many people kowtow and burn incense, let alone go south, in fact, Lishi is still a sad place for Xianbei people, and Taiyuan is another place that they don't want to recall. As for the Yongliang area, not to mention when Dong Zhuo was there, even if Dong Zhuo was dead, those Hu people in the north still only dared to claim hegemony in areas where the Han people were basically not seen in the border area, as for continuing to develop inward? Those fierce generals in the Xiliang army can definitely teach them to be human again.

After the brief glory of the sandalwood era, the Xianbei people seemed to be pressed from the clouds to the ground.

However, with the emergence of the "mystery man" group, the steppe tribes, which had become a little hesitant and contradictory, began to move again. And the "mystery people" group also needs to prove that their massacres are not to harm the interests and rules of the grassland, but to better allow the grassland to develop southward. Drink the Central Plains and occupy the world of flowers.

Although it is not uncommon to say that the slaughter of the other tribe on the grassland is not uncommon, it is more because the two sides have reached the point of mortal enemies, either you die or I die. In addition, this method will only be used to deter the rest of the enemy when the other side is not willing to surrender at all. For the most remaining, annexation is done rather than massacre.

If the population of the steppe was really large enough to be slaughtered, those steppe tribes would not have plundered a large number of people when they went south, and just plundering a few women and artisans would have been enough to meet the needs of the steppe people.

It was precisely because of his understanding of the habits on the grassland that Li Shushi would judge that the other party would definitely go south, as they had done before.

Both for the sake of profit. It's also to show everyone something. Of course, there is also the ulterior motive.

Moreover, Li Shushi gave them a new reason - he was in Pingcheng - perhaps ordinary caravans did not know about this matter, and ordinary local Haoqiang did not know much about this matter, but Li Shushi never believed that the enemy in the north who regarded him as a great enemy of life and death would not know. Then they will face him. I knew it might be a trap and rushed over. Or is it a detour?

Li Shu really waited for the other party's action. He was eager to see how crazy those "mystery people" could be.

Then, not long after they returned to Pingcheng, the merchant travelers to the north suddenly returned in large numbers, some of them very calmly. Some are very wolf, and some have been killed in enemy territory. In less than half a month, the already lively Heijo became extremely crowded.

Even the steppe tribes, who had good relations with the Han Chinese, drove their men and cattle into their own Wubao near Pingcheng, where they prepared to defend their wealth along with the mixed Han and alien guards stationed there.

So much so that by this time, there were no people who could come back from the north, and everyone had basically acquiesced to their ending.

Because, all the caravans that fled back brought back a common news, that is, the Xianbei people have once again taken action!

Of course, it is said that this time it was only a few small tribes joining forces, presumably only the vanguard force, led by a general from a "mysterious man", who crossed the Great Wall to the north and entered the state of Koju, and seemed to be followed by a much larger army.

"Yuan Jian, don't be nervous. But it doesn't matter, you're only on the front line here, and there are Wen Qiao and Zihe's troops behind you to press the formation, and then there are Feng Xian and Han Sheng, so you can rest assured to do it boldly, let's see how you have grown over the years. ”

For Li Shushi's encouragement, this young man who looks a little younger than him is the county magistrate of Pingcheng, don't look at his age, but he is an old courtier next to Li Shushi, and he became a member of Li Shushi's soldiers when Li Shushi joined the Yellow Turban Army.

That's right, this is the original Liao Chun Liao Yuanjian, of course, what is more familiar to everyone is the name known as Liao Hua.

"I don't know if the lord is willing to obey the command of the lord as a merchant in this Pingcheng County."

After all kinds of experiences over the years, although Liao Hua still looks very young, his temperament has become calm and trustworthy, maybe his qualifications are not amazing, but he will not make mistakes lightly, in this situation of unclear enemy situation, he is on the front line, but it is more reassuring, even if it was originally a short board of force, it has become a stronger place under the "support" of Li Shushi. Probably because of this, he dared to joke with Li Shushi.

"I'm just a business traveler, not a regular army, so I'm afraid Yuan Jian will be disappointed...... Unless Yuan Jian can control the armament of all caravans, in that case, as a reward, it is not impossible for my lord to use it under your command. ”

"That's still it, at most we can only discuss, the military situation is urgent, the battlefield is changing rapidly, or the lord himself decides."

Li Shushi just came to cheer up Liao Hua, and didn't put forward too specific requirements for him, anyway, this time his role is to decoy, as long as he can lure the enemy here, even if the task is completed, so the only thing he is worried about now is not the arrival of the enemy, but that they just have such a wave. The rest of the main forces went to the Western Regions or something.

It is precisely because of this that it is clear that Shuozhou is close at hand, and Gao Shun also has a strong corps in his hands, but he can only stand still, and even Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, who are the second echelon, are actually ready to rush to the aid of other regions at any time.

Originally, Li Shushi arranged it like this, after all, Lu Bu's ability was strong enough, and Huang Zhong had fought with those "mysterious people", but sometimes the plan was always not as fast as the change, and Li Shushi was also very helpless about such a thing......

"Why be helpless? That's a tough bunch of enemies. It's a group of fierce people who can flatten Zilong and that old man! All right. Don't look at me like this, isn't there still Hansheng? He's more reassuring than me in the back, can't you still trust Hansheng? And Han Sheng doesn't still have that guy you admire so much that I don't want to trouble him. ”

Therefore, Li Shushi felt that he thought that Xiaoqiang would honestly stay behind and wait for an opportunity or something, it was too naïve!

Well, Li Shushi should have known about Yi Xiaoqiang's martial arts idiot a long time ago. I know that there are good opponents, how can I let it go?

It's just that compared to Li Shushi, it is quite easy to make various preparations. The guards of the other caravans were much more nervous.

"Uncle. Are we all going to fight? Can it still be the old rule this time? ”

A young man who didn't look very old, and the beard on his lips was only soft, asked the sturdy man beside him.

"Don't call me uncle, I'm only twenty-four this year. Even the daughter-in-law didn't get a room, it's worse than you bastard boy! However, I was right to ask me about the side plug. I tell you, you can not believe anything else, but if the government puts up a notice, you can put a hundred hearts, these guys have always had a good reputation in this regard. And this time the Xianbei people's actions are a little strange, the new Zhang Taishou heard that he suffered a small loss on the Xianbei people a while ago, and he will not reward our hard-earned money with this beheading. Hmph, as long as I can kill five Xianbei people this time, I can go back to my hometown and get married! ”

After the sturdy man finished speaking, he skillfully tied the trouser legs with strips of cloth. Even with stirrups, it can be guaranteed that even relatively wide trouser legs will not affect the control of the legs against the war horse and the balance of the body, but this habit has still been handed down, after all, the wide trouser legs are still a bit of a ride, whether it is on the run or chasing the enemy, it has a great impact, especially in windy weather.

"The newcomers have listened to me, we have our own rules while stuffing them, when the drums of the officials gather in the array, we caravan people are also qualified to participate in the war, we will not give us a reward for killing the Hu people, but the county magistrate and the Taishou Lord will open the treasury in exchange for our military exploits! After listening to it, I also remembered that the head of a Hu cavalry was worth five big coins and two sheep; The head of a Hu centurion is worth two silver coins, five sheep, and if you don't need money, you can also exchange it for a beautiful flower cloth, which can be given to your own mother-in-law or the woman you like. The official is not bullied in this matter, and he will definitely not let us suffer! ”

A middle-aged man who looked like the leader of the caravan guard was sorting out his bags while carrying out the work of "teaching and solving doubts" to the newcomers of the caravan, although the voice was not loud, but it was able to make everyone hear clearly.

The price in the middle-aged population makes many newcomers feel happy, and even have begun to fantasize about the good life after getting the reward.

But the old man didn't seem to be at all inspired by this reward, and continued to do what he should do.

"Uncle, why don't the old people seem to be excited at all, with so much reward, can't you go back to your hometown to get married and have babies if you kill a few more Hu people? And don't worry about those in power hacking our bounty. ”

"It's not an uncle, I'm young. Forget it, look at your little offspring, I'll only tell you one person. Look at the number of merchants in this flat city, and the warriors of the caravans, and the number of people who think the same way as you are simply countless. But you have also walked through the business, you should know that those grassland Hu people are terrible, even if they are suppressed by our official army, but the caravan that is plundered by them every year is still not a few. Those fierce and ferocious barbarians are faster than you can kill cattle and sheep, and they are all accurate. Moreover, there are many people in the Xianbei people's team who are called 'Condor Shooters', they are all sharpshooters among the Hu people, and I heard that few of the people who are targeted by them can or come back. It's still so chaotic on the battlefield that you won't even know who you're going to kill by then. ”

"It's more than that. Think about it, those Xianbei barbarians have been firmly suppressed by our state army and don't dare to raise their heads, and they haven't dared to go south on such a large scale for several years, but why is it suddenly abnormal this time? I heard that a while ago in Dai County, not only did a Taishou and several county magistrates die, but even the old general Tong Yuan and the famous god general Zhao Yun suffered a big loss, so I want to say, this time the Xianbei people are not good, don't think about how to kill the enemy, when the time comes, you will lose your life on the battlefield in this later life, you let your mother-in-law eat and drink in the future. Or do you want other men to sleep with your mother-in-law in the future? Hit your baby! ”

"Your big brother is right. And I heard that those Hu people will actually offer the same reward as us before the war, cutting off the head of a soldier in the Bingzhou Army, I heard that you can get a reward of a cow or two sheep, and you can become a 'lord' of Xianbei by cutting off a famous general, I heard that it is not lower than the Taishou level on our side. When the time comes, those Xianbei women will line up for you to get on. So don't think they'll let you go. Maybe it's for merit. Tear your corpse into several pieces, just like the overlord of Naxichu. ”

"Then the reward is for the state army, what does it have to do with the guards of our caravans?"

"What a young junior. Who cares if you are in the state army on the battlefield or not, anyway, you are all guys who are riding horses and holding weapons and planning to cut people, is there anything wrong with people saying that you are an auxiliary soldier of the state army? ”

As a result, a few newcomers with pricked ears were scared into quails by the old fritters, which made the veterans feel a lot easier - compared to trust, veterans are not only more important, but also have the highest survival rate on the battlefield.

"However, you little guys don't need to be discouraged, after all, we mainly follow the action of the state army, and we can be regarded as half of the state army, as long as we don't rush the military formation of the state army, those regular troops are our umbrella. And most of the time there is no need to listen to the orders of the regular army, and the degree of freedom is much greater. It's really not good, you can still run away. ”

"Won't you be killed by the law enforcement team?"

"You're stupid, why are you the first to run, and you have to run the fastest, don't you know that 'the rafters rot first'."

The situation of other caravans is also similar here, after all, many of the caravans here are from their hometowns that have been operating here for several generations, and they are naturally very familiar with many situations here, even if sometimes they have to retreat to Mayi or even Taiyuan County because of the strength of the Hu people, but as long as the situation improves slightly, they will return here, after all, the profits here are really amazing.

Even if the rookie caravan has not been here for a long time, as long as they walk a few times back and forth on the grassland, they have experienced enough courage and temperament to be unfazed, even if they are not familiar with some problems in this situation, they can go to the government to find out clearly, after all, if the official conceals too many things at this time, it is easy to affect the confidence and morale of the participants.

Of course, for some extremely important information, the official who should be withheld will not let people know lightly.

For example, Li Shushi, who was hidden in Pingcheng, and those very important entourages around him.

The entire Heijo Castle became a huge military camp almost in a short time, and although there was no explicit order to prohibit it, everyone became restrained and carefully prepared, lest they be treated as a chicken for monkeys by the military law of wartime.

"Yes, yes, Zilong is probably more than seventy percent, Ziyi is about nearly ninety, Gongming not only has no problem, but faintly gives people a feeling of being better than in the past, not bad, not in vain."

Li Shushi is also actively preparing here, but the method is ...... It just looks a little brutal.

Especially Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Xu Huang still failed to win Xiaoqiang by means of wheel warfare, but let Xiaoqiang be taught to be a man one by one, although there is naturally the reason why Xiaoqiang said that he did not fully recover, but I always feel that Xiaoqiang, who is full of fighting spirit at this time, is really as invincible as a god descending from heaven.

Maybe it's because he found a stronger enemy, so he will work hard to adjust his state and let himself face the opponent with the most peak combat effectiveness.

"It seems that Fengxian's morale is good, in that case, let's play with the old man and me a few times."

Just when Xiao Qiang put on an expression of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", there was a voice in his ears that although it was not very loud and did not seem to be very full of qi, it could still make his body tremble slightly.

Oh oh oh ~ Old man Tong, you finally can't sit still!

I feel like there's a good show to watch now~ (To be continued......)
