The vast grasslands are home to nomadic tribes of seventeen different ethnic groups. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

These peoples, large and small, are scattered across the steppe. As large as a royal court, there were as many as nine tribes, each of which had at least 70,000 people.

There are only 10,000 small nationalities, and there are only more than 1,000 young and middle-aged people.

The grassland is located in the north, and in winter, the climate is extremely harsh. Few of these ethnic groups had any intention of establishing cities, and the few cities they had were at best the size of towns in the Central Plains. It's not really a big city.

The royal court, the main ethnic group is the broad people, they have the largest number of people, and naturally the army is the most powerful.

And Duolun is a member of the royal family in this powerful tribe.

This prince admired the culture of the Central Plains when he was very young. His mother was a woman from the Central Plains who was plundered from the border and was well-informed. Since he was a child, he has taught him a lot of culture from the Central Plains.

This makes Duolun yearn for the prosperity of the Central Plains and the brilliant culture of the Central Plains.

He has always wanted to go to the Central Plains to see.

As a winner!

Yes, even if it is a culture that yearns for the Central Plains, Duolun is not a native of the Central Plains. He was a steppe man throughout. Thinking about the problem with their ideas, since the other party is strong and rich. So why don't you just grab it?

The Fire Phoenix Army is stationed at the border pass, but it is not a soft persimmon.

For many years, the steppe tribes wanted to use this as a breakthrough, but each time they returned with a feather.

But the grassland never gave up. Especially the royal tribes of the grasslands, they knew how rich the Central Plains really was, and there was a wealth there that could only be found in the heavenly nature of their beliefs. As long as they can break through the border barrier, in their opinion, the wealth of the Central Plains will be at their fingertips.

That's what Duolun thinks, too.

But he was educated since he was a child, and unlike other steppe people, his people advocated hard-fought wars, fighting for blood and life. Doron, on the other hand, disdained this approach, as his mother had taught him strategy, taught him strategy, taught him to understand that there was more power in this world than just muscles.

And wisdom!

This time, he defied public opinion and instigated an all-out attack on the entire grassland. It's because he has been planning for seven or eight years that he has settled.

Doron is smart. He never restricted the greedy Central Plains people from doing business with the countries of the Western Regions through the grasslands. He was also involved in collecting tolls from all parties and even ensuring the safety of these merchants.

By chance, he heard that there was a merchant group in the Central Plains, which seemed to have the ability to pass through dangerous places and enter the Central Plains without taking the official road. This intrigued Doron.

In order to find out whether this news is true or not, he even formed a caravan on the steppe himself. Through continuous contact with the merchants of the Central Plains, I finally got the exact news of this passage.

And this news came from a businessman named Luo Hao.

Like many merchants in the Central Plains, Luo Hao was particularly greedy for wealth. Duolun let his caravan promise the other party a lot of benefits, and from his mouth, he learned the news of the true existence of this trail.

Duolun couldn't be more excited, but he still held his breath.

He continued to arrange his caravans to communicate with each other, and the two became very good friends and allies. It had been three years before Duolun had let the caravan leak. If Luo Hao can get the exact map and information of this trail, Duolun is willing to exchange the wealth he has accumulated over the years for this news!

This wealth is not a small number.

The cavalry of the royal court was not only aimed at the Central Plains, and the wealth that Duolun had plundered over the years was comparable to the tax revenue of a rich city-state.

Such wealth will definitely make Luo Hao a wealthy man in the Central Plains. Luo Hao worked hard under Prime Minister Lu Cheng, just to one day be able to obtain a lofty status and a lot of money. Now that he has the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, how could Luo Hao miss such an opportunity.

A powerful person in the Chu State also contacted him and was willing to accept Luo Hao in the name of the Chu State. and promised the position of a city lord, which was also the main reason why Luo Hao felt that this deal was promoted.

Luo Hao spent half a year to establish a good relationship with the little prince, he was a businessman, so he naturally knew that the palace was also doing foreign business. At the same time, however, he noticed a discrepancy between the expenses of the royal palace and the money earned by the Gentiles on the surface. Luo Hao naturally knew that the palace must have its own way. And this is exactly the information that Prince Duolun of the grassland wants most.

After half a year, Luo Hao has been making unremitting efforts. Finally, after giving a lot of money and beauties, let the little prince agree to let him also participate in the use of the channel. Obviously, this little prince doesn't know that his actions can simply become a collaborator and traitor.

Luo Hao was ecstatic. In the past few days, he successfully contacted the guide sent by the little prince, and obtained all the information about the path. However, if this business is to be completed, if it is just to provide information, the grassland will not buy it. He needs to take the guide and go to the grassland together to clear the way for Duolun himself.

The Fire Phoenix Army arrived at the border pass and garrisoned it, blocking the army of the grassland tribes. Duolun and the 120,000 vanguard army gathered by the steppe tribes have been encamped for more than ten days twenty miles away from the checkpoint. Duolun was very patient, he knew that with Luo Hao's greed, this guy would definitely come to trade with him!

"Karcha, that merchant from the Central Plains, don't you have any news yet?" Doren inspected the barracks and paced back to the tent. Looking at the leader of the guards guarding the tent, Duolun asked silently.

Karcha looked at Duolun with a respectful expression, "Your Royal Highness, the merchant sent news two days ago. He was on his way to the grassland with a guide who knew the way, and he believed that he would arrive soon. ”

"Good. Duolun nodded with satisfaction, "This time, I gave a military order in front of my father, or I broke through the Central Plains and went back with glory." Or, just die here!" said Doron, looking at Karcha with burning eyes, "So, no matter what happened in the past, this time, we have no way out. ”

"And that greedy Central Plains merchant. It's an important part of our plan. With his improved road and intelligence, our warriors can drive straight into the entire Central Plains without having to fight with the Qin air force at the border. The warriors of the steppe cannot afford to consume, they cannot die on such a senseless siege, they deserve greater honor. ”

"Think about it. The grain, wealth, and women of the Central Plains have been conquered, and everything will be at our disposal. The people of the Central Plains will only know how to use the city wall to resist our warriors, but when their wall does not work. In the entire Central Plains, there will be no more existences that can resist our soldiers!"

The reverence in Karcha's eyes shone even brighter. He lowered his head, fully immersed in the glorious prospect depicted by Duolun, "His Royal Highness the Prince will be invincible and invincible!"
