Now it is becoming more and more difficult for the dovish people to survive on the grassland, not because of the shortage of living materials.

Advocating peace with Beiyan, they have a deep deal with Beiyan.

A variety of grassland specialties were exchanged for a variety of daily necessities, so they were little affected by horse plague.

It is for this reason that they have become coveted by people from tribes larger than them, or tribes of the same rank.

According to Wusu's knowledge, some of the small tribes of the dovish have been annexed one after another, although I have not heard of any medium-sized tribes being annexed, but when the small tribes are almost eaten, it will be their turn.

To this end, the Qingyang tribe must take precautions.

This time, he will choose a proper place to store the daily necessities he purchased.

At the same time, on the surface, it is necessary to change its dove approach, train troops similar to heavy cavalry, and make a sense of being ready to go south at any time, of course, it is necessary to use a lot of resources to bribe some big tribes, if possible, it is best to close to the thigh of one of the golden family, so that the Qingyang tribe should not be threatened by any mortal threat.

It's a pity that the things of the Qingyang tribe are limited, otherwise Wusu would not have made any competition to select the three chambers of commerce for trading, if the materials in his hands are sufficient, he can't wait to buy all the eight chambers of commerce here in the future and make a lot of money.

However, sometimes there is a gap between reality and ideals, so let's pass the current hurdle first.

However, Wusu may not have thought that his deployment, which could only be discussed with the core figures in the tribe, would be coaxed by his own daughter, Wusu, to be in a big mess by Tian Buqi's words, and he would say it all with a little introduction.

It is said that the daughter who married out splashed the water, this Una has not been married yet, but subjectively fell in love with Tian Buqi, and if he wanted him to be his lover, he took the initiative to reveal all these to Tian Buqi.

Can this be regarded as the treachery of Tian Bu Ren? Of course not, this is what the girl said herself, what does it have to do with Tian not abandoning?

However, Una still promised Tian Buqi that she would find a way to talk to Wusu and leave some for Tian Buqi, of course, the price was that Tian Buqi needed to stay here with Una for two days to play.

Compared to the value of a batch of goods, it is simply cost-effective to play with a girl for two days.

Of course, Tian did not give up, so he agreed.

Everyone kept eating, drinking, and having fun until late before returning to their station, and Tian Buqi found Chen Zheng after drinking some sobering soup and revealed the news to Chen Zheng.

At the same time, the two people also felt that the northern Xinjiang grassland was going to change again this time, although the direction of thinking was different, but the general result was the same.

It was true that the horse plague had caused the grassland people in northern Xinjiang not to go south according to the habits of previous years, which affected the combat effectiveness of their troops and delayed their attack.

But the same steppe people will not sit still, plunder is the best means, and by now they do not hesitate to use the various small tribes of the steppe to make up for their losses, it is known that they will not be stable.

One or two small tribes are fine, but too many times will definitely cause panic among the lower tribes, in order to stabilize the ruling structure of the steppe, and also to be able to divert the panic of the small tribes from the large tribes.

The steppe people will certainly transform internal contradictions into external contradictions, using war to divert the hatred of small tribes against them.

And the goal of the steppe people's war is nothing more than the countries of the Western Regions, or the south to the North Yan.

Something was wrong with their horses, but the people were still there.

When people are faced with life and death, they can do anything.

If these large tribes, after exploiting those small tribes, induce them to go south, needless to say, there must be countless small tribes fighting for them, although it is forced.

The strength of these small tribes is weak, and there is no way to resist against the larger tribes.

As for uniting against large tribes, if it is a medium tribe, it can still fight a dozen.

If it is a large tribe, there is no possibility at all, and the power of both is not of the same level.

Let's not talk about the difference in the cultivation of the personnel of the two sides, let's talk about the number of people.

Small tribes can pull out a team of 100 people, a team of 1,000 people, this is already all their combat effectiveness, and it is easy for a large tribe to pull out a team of 10,000 people.

And that's not counting their slaves.

If the small tribe wants to rebel against the big tribe, the only result is to be exterminated, the young and middle-aged will be killed, the slave will be slaved, and the old will not be able to do so, and they will be directly abandoned in the wild, and the women and children will be taken away as the strengths of the large tribe.

They can only choose to obey and choose to be at ease.

But what if there is no food for the winter? The tribe will have people starve to death, what can the small tribe do, where will they migrate?

The grassland is so big, there are so many pastures, cattle, sheep and water, it will not suddenly change out, and in the end there is no way, they can only find another way.

And at this time, there is not much need for the convocation of the big tribe.

They will very consciously move closer to the border of Beiyan, and then find a way to sneak into the territory of Beiyan to grab all kinds of resources.

The Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang defends an important pass in the north, the purpose is to prevent the army of the steppe people from moving south, as for one or two hundred people sneaking over the border line, it is difficult to find, if there is a patrol encountered, it may be attacked, otherwise it is really difficult to deal with.

As for why these small tribes don't go to the countries of the Western Regions, one of the main reasons is that the distance is too far and the time is too late.

Comparatively speaking, the Northern Swallow is close, and it is not difficult to sneak in.

There are not many people in the small tribes, so they can quietly enter the territory of Beiyan with a team of 100 people, and only attack some villages, cities or something, and if you are lucky, you will also gain a lot of money.

Of course, with more and more such things, the army in the north of Beiyan also has to make corresponding deployments, and this will also affect part of their energy.

It's not that you want to rob anything, it's just to reduce some unnecessary population and reduce expenses.

It may sound unbelievable to many people in the Central Plains, but in the eyes of the grassland people, it is a very normal thing.

There is a shortage of food, there are too many mouths to eat, and the easiest solution is of course not that it is too troublesome to buy food, of course, it is easiest to directly reduce the mouth of eating.

As long as the surplus people die, won't the rest of the people be fed and survive?

Of course, if they can get away with it, they will go straight into a big plunder.

Once the grassland people set off a wave of attack again, whether it is for Tian Buqi or Chen Zheng, it will have a certain impact on Chengdu.

Once the two sides start a war, the people of the Lian Chamber of Commerce will hardly run north on the bright side, one is afraid of being framed, and the name of a collaborator and treason will offend the Northern Yan court.

As a chamber of commerce within the boundaries of Beiyan, although they are very influential, they are just businessmen, and they are really not strong enough to compete with the imperial court.

On the other hand, once the war starts, the steppe is not safe.

After so many years of doing business with the grassland people, the Lian Chamber of Commerce has figured out the urine nature of the grassland people.

It's okay when you don't go to war, but when you start a war, you will always stumble on them in secret.

The stronghold of the Chamber of Commerce in the locations of the various major clans will have no effect.

But the caravans along the way suffered no less.

If you want to go to these people to ask for an explanation, they will only say that they are horse thieves or something.

In fact, everyone knows that some of them are the cavalry of some tribes, and the grassland people are all white-eyed wolves, and they will not remember how many benefits the Lian Chamber of Commerce gave them on weekdays, but will try their best to squeeze them.

Is such a big group as the Lian Chamber of Commerce swallowing its anger like this? Can Lian Changsheng endure it? Just looking at the goods and the loss of manpower in vain? I really have to endure it.

The Lian Chamber of Commerce started by relying on a variety of specialties from the grassland.

And these specialties are very few in the hands of some small tribes, not much, and most of them are in the hands of those big tribes.

Even if the Lian's Chamber of Commerce has carried out so many businesses so far, the product of the grassland is the product with the largest volume and the most benefits.

It can be said that the foundation of the Lian Chamber of Commerce is still on these grassland specialties, and if they have a conflict with those big tribes, it will definitely be the Lian Chamber of Commerce who will be injured.

People are the suppliers, and they have a firm monopoly on grassland specialties, and the Lian Chamber of Commerce can only choose to endure.

Lian Changsheng hoped that the grassland people would die as soon as possible, and then their chamber of commerce would not have to continue to be oppressed.

However, it is not a matter of a day or two to exterminate the steppe people, nor is it something that a chamber of commerce can do.

Now it seems that Beiyan is the most likely.

Therefore, the relationship between the Lian Chamber of Commerce and the imperial court is very good, after all, both of them have enemies that need to be dealt with together, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

As long as you can endure the pain for a while, there will always be a day when it will be resolved.

Lian Changsheng used to be a slave owner in order to be free, and now for the development of the Chamber of Commerce, he can also swallow his anger against the large tribes of the steppe people.

Tian Buqi, whether as the manager of a caravan of the Lian Chamber of Commerce, or as the son and nephew of Lian Changsheng, must support Lian Changsheng's decision.

For Chen Zheng, this is likely to mean the end of his leisurely time, maybe after Chen Zheng goes back this time, the entire military intelligence department of Jianzhou will be active, and Yan Xuelan will definitely take action, will he enter the stage of combat readiness when he goes back?

There are also some situations on the grassland this time, after Chen Zheng left the tent where Tian Bu abandoned, he immediately began to write a letter, writing down what he had seen and heard during this time and some speculations about the grassland people.

Then he called Hu Chun and asked him to personally go to deliver the letter back, and he wanted to deliver it to Yan Xuelan as soon as possible.

Because it was about the speculation of the grassland people, this letter had to be handed over to Yan Xuelan by hand.

For this reason, Chen Zheng also sent Zhao Wen, Zhao Wu and Dong Yang to accompany Hu Chun to Luanfeng City, and they had to be fast along the way.

This letter cannot be lost.

Hu Chun nodded, and then left with the other three people that night.

Although the people of the Qingyang tribe were a little puzzled as to why a few people ran away in advance, they were all members of the Lian Chamber of Commerce (because Chen Zheng and they concealed their identities and claimed to be subordinates of the Lian Chamber of Commerce) did not stop too much.

The next day is the day of the transaction, according to the number of transactions, the people of the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce will go first, and then the people of the Lian Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Zheng didn't have much interest in the content of the transaction, as long as the ice field cold bamboo was in hand, he simply didn't look at it, he was shy in his pocket, he couldn't afford anything, and to be honest, his knowledge was still less, even if there was a natural treasure in front of him, if there was no systematic cheat item interface, Chen Zheng would not be able to say one, two, three.

As for picking up the leak, it is impossible, if it is a stall, Chen Zheng may still go to see it.

This is a large transaction, every cent of the goods must be inspected, and it is impossible to find a leak.

Chen Zheng and Zhao Ying stayed in the station to relax, and finally they could relax openly, such an opportunity is rare.

When I get back, I'm going to get busy.

First of all, it is necessary to let the people of the Green Crow Chamber of Commerce pay attention to it, and stop doing business on the grassland, and the next time is mainly to develop in the direction of the inland.

As for why Chen Zheng didn't let the people of the Green Crow Chamber of Commerce go to find out the news, it was entirely because they were still very weak, and now was not the time for them to go deep into the grassland to find out the news.

Chen Zheng would not let the Green Crow Chamber of Commerce, which had just been established and had a little improvement, die because of the wrong order.

There are ready-made, well-developed embroidered guards and military intelligence divisions, and it is not the turn of the people from the Green Crow Chamber of Commerce to do these things.

Chen Zheng and Zhao Ying studied how to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the scope of the Green Crow Chamber of Commerce, not to mention the entire northern part of Beiyan, how to say that it should also be effective in Jianzhou.

You must know that last night in the system space, Chen Zheng had already got a good news, the Variety Jiao Niang successfully broke through to the early stage of the innate realm, and she was also the first martial artist among Chen Zheng's knights to enter the innate realm.

Originally, in the previous conflict with others, Bai Chang Jiao Niang was injured a lot, but during the period of recuperation, he had some understanding, not only did he recover from his injury, but he also finally found the way to the innate realm, and after a few days of retreat and polishing, he finally became a martial artist of the innate realm.

Chen Zheng was also happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, there was some emotion, sure enough, the knights summoned by these systems were extraordinary, they were just limited by that secret realm, otherwise they would have soared into the sky. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Jianghu Otherworldly", " ", talk about life, find a confidant~
