At noon on this day, a few scrawny war horses, carrying a few ragged clothes, covered with wind and frost, looked like beggars, and described as peculiar people came to the city of Liangzhou.

They came from the west, looking at the Tubo battle flag fluttering in the northwest wind at the head of the city, some fearful, but some joyful, each with complicated expressions.

They patrolled outside the city for a long time, and they got together and muttered for a long time, whether it was the Tubo people in the city or the Tubo camp outside the city, there was no movement.

If the Qin army is stationed here, it must be an incredible thing, someone snoops on the military camp and the city, and describes it as sneaky, and they will definitely not let them go.

But at this time, the Tubo people have become lazy and slack, not like a military army on the battlefield at all, more like a tribe grazing here, and the murderous spirit was completely released in the battle of entering the city a few days ago.

However, the group did not leave......

Several people dismounted, sat together, took out milk pieces of jerky and wine bags, and while comforting their stomachs, they debated whether they should go to the city to call the door at the risk of being shot by those Tibetan barbarians.

After talking for a long time, none of the other people was willing to muster up the courage to negotiate with those Tibetan barbarians who were likely to kill the red-eyed.

The black strong man led by him was very helpless, and scolded them sharply, but to be honest, the effect was not good, and several other people were either indifferent or repeatedly shirked, it can be seen that although he is the leader of this line, his majesty does not make several other people risk their lives to do things.

After a while, the black strong man led by him sat on the ground deflated, panting heavily. Sweat left on the face. Mixed with dirt. Punched out a few marks, looking a little wolf.

If the Tatar Khan didn't pity Ban Khan here, he would quickly recognize him, although this guy has lost a lot of weight and dresses very differently, but the unique tone and overly shrewd eyes will definitely quickly evoke the memories of the disgraceful Ban.

That's right. This is the Uighur merchant who once went to the Yunwai steppe and came from the Western Prefecture as an envoy of Asalan Khan and entered his tent, Ajian Sulu.

After a year, the Uighur merchants, who had not gained much in the Yunwai grassland, now appeared under the city of Liangzhou in the northwest, which has to be said to be a surprising thing.

However, for Ah Ken Sulu himself. It's very reasonable that he's here......

As a group of Uighur merchants, he has an extraordinary political eye and a keen sense of business. He also had the trust of Asalam Khan, and although he was not a wealthy merchant among the Uighur merchants, he was also working hard to achieve this......

He risked his life to come to this war-torn land, bringing with him the will of the Uighur Great Khan.

This year's rush has made him tortured, and even his round figure has changed, but the burning fire of ambition is getting stronger and stronger.

It is difficult to say how satisfying his gains are compared to his efforts, but he believes that he has finally grasped the skirt of the goddess of business, and as long as this trip can be reciprocated or even promised, then the past year of running around will not be in vain, and a road made of gold will be displayed in front of him.

And his name of Ah Jian Sulu will also be admired by those peers......

Perhaps, he can get more out of it, of course, it depends on the next effort.

The reason why he has such confidence is not based on the blind pursuit of money and wealth by merchants, but on his judgment......

Yes, although I have endured a lot of hardships this year, from the Yunwai grassland to Liangzhou, I have seen countless people of all kinds, Han people, Tatars, Mongols, Nai barbarians, Dangxiang people, etc.

In the steppe outside the clouds, he met the Great Khan of the Tatars, the new leader of the Naibarbarians, Ruur Abat Wanhu, the Khan of the Kereb Khan, the Prime Minister of the Mongol tribes, Borshu Wanhu, and the leaders of the various steppe nobles.

Of course, the most important thing is to meet those Han people, when such a grassland wedding and the grand grassland alliance will appear on the grassland outside the clouds, he will understand that the sunshine on the grassland will not belong to other tribes in the future.

Bitterly, the days of Uighur traders walking the steppe seemed to be coming to an end, and it was probably the world of the Han Chinese merchants who flocked to it, because the Han people were closer to there and could give more and better things to the steppe tribes.

Perhaps, in the near future, there will still be a place for Uighur merchants in the steppes, but now it seems that it will no longer be in the interests of the Uighur merchants to cross the Western Liao and trade with the steppe tribes or the Han Chinese, yes, it will be a loss-making transaction, and the Uighur merchants never trade at a loss.

Back in the Uighur Khanate, the news from the steppe in the spring also made it clearer for him to see that the war had not stopped, and the conquest between the steppe tribes had become less chaotic and disorderly, but had also become more grand and crazy.

The new tribes were expanding their pastures and wielding scimitars at the tribes that did not submit to them, and these were even more detrimental to the caravans.

The Uighur caravans were growing more and more, and they no longer dared to enter the central steppes, and the tribes there no longer seemed to welcome them......

In this spring, the sweat tent of Asalan Khan often resounded with the characteristic roar of Asalan Khan, of course, this was the effect of the merchants who were involved in the sweat tent in one way or another.

However, the roar of the Great Khan sounded more like the dying wail of an old lion king to Sulu, yes, Asalan Khan was too old to protect the Uighur merchants.

More than ten years ago, the wise and ambitious Asalan Khan, who overrode public opinion and waved his troops to attack the Western Xia, has died, perhaps, it was the defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops that returned to China, which gave Asalan Khan a fatal blow, and the Western Xia party used steel knives and blood to kill the wise Great Khan......

Of course, these thoughts remained in his mind until he saw that person, or rather a group of people, on the grassland outside the clouds, and it became extremely clear.

The Venerable Messenger of the Gods, as well as those who submitted to him, had a vigorous ambition and enviable vigor, and more importantly, a greater majesty.

The Uighurs had lost the glory of the Uighur Empire, and the Uighur Khanate, which had nothing to argue about and had been suppressed by the Khitans, had become a nation of merchants, and as a member of this group, Ajian Sulu himself had nothing to complain about, and he was very proud.

Because this khanate was made out by merchants with pack horses and camels, and its roads were trodden out by merchants with goods and golden sands, and its name was also spread by merchants, with a golden smell.

Merchants had an unrivalled status in the kingdom, no different from the nobility, and the Uighur dignitaries must have had the support of the merchants, even their Great Khan.

In other words, merchants are the cornerstone of the kingdom......

When their Great Khan could not guarantee the interests of the merchants, could he still be called a wise Great Khan?

The merchants were frustrated, because the steppes had been at war for too long, and the caravans that could go to the steppes and bring back enough goods and slaves were becoming fewer and fewer, and now they were completely cut off, which was really not good news for the Uighur merchants who roamed the steppes all year round, and it was desperate that their Great Khan could not do anything but comfort the merchants with roars and curses......

At this time, Ah Jian Sulu felt that his opportunity had come, and all he needed to do was to go into the sweat tent and persuade the old Khan to get his promise to make a deal with someone else.

After much deliberation, he did.

In the extremely luxurious sweat tent soaked in the blood and sweat of the merchants, he used clever words to appease the anxious Khan King, and then used exaggerated words to attract the attention of the Khan King.

After that, he showed the way to the old Khan king, who was already not very clear in his head, with great patience.

He almost exhausted all his skills, and in three days, he persuaded the increasingly stubborn old Khan King, obtained the identity of the envoy again, and clearly obtained the promise of the Khan King, and then set off for the west.

Of course, there are many prerequisites for this, and a large part of them is his own speculation.

This is undoubtedly a gamble, a gamble with his life as a bargaining chip, and if this trip fails, then he will have nothing, and the increasingly greedy Asalan Khan will not hesitate to deprive him of a qiē to decorate his increasingly luxurious tent......

When he went to the Yumen Pass, which was said to have been built by the Han people, but was now occupied by the party members, he was still thinking about how to get to the country of the Han people, and what kind of words should be used to impress His Majesty the Han Emperor, who was obviously countless times more noble than Asalan Khan and could be called the darling of heaven.

It must have been a great man with unimaginable power and wealth beyond the reach of merchants, and it must not have been a man completely different from Asalan Khan.

The only criterion for the authority of that man was the man he had seen in the steppe, and the majesty of that man far surpassed that of their Uighur kings.

And what should it be like to have such a noble person loyal to the Han Emperor?

This is already something that is hard for Ah Jian Sulu to imagine, and the Han people ...... It is said to be very unfriendly to merchants, and in the country of the Han Chinese, the status of merchants is ...... Very humble, this is one of his gains on the grassland, and he is not without a little understanding of the Han people.

It was this that made him feel cold all over his body when he thought about it, and he didn't have the slightest confidence about this big gamble...... (To be continued......)
