Chapter 269: Visitors from the Prairie

In a grassland thirty miles outside the Blue Wolf City, Hawke led his cavalry and surrounded a group of men and horses who broke into the border of Great Xia.

There were only more than 20 people on the opposite side, so they could not pose any threat to them, and there were no attacks on the herdsmen along the way, so they learned that they did not give the order to do it directly.

Looking at the cavalry troops surrounding his group, in this cavalry squad, a middle-aged dealer who seemed to be the leader shouted loudly.

"I am Amosi of the Arata tribe! On behalf of the leader of our tribe, Shinar has come and wants to ask to see His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia! ”

Hawke was slightly stunned when he heard this, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

At the same time, he also has a certain impression of the name Amossi.

If I am not mistaken, the other party should be the younger brother of the former leader of the Aratha tribe, and the uncle of the current leader, Shinal.

But now, until the other party's purpose is determined, Hawke can't let his guard down.

"Lay down your arms and get off your horse!"

Hearing this, the rest of the steppe cavalry had a hint of resistance on their faces, but it was Amosi who behaved quite simply.

The main thing is that he figured out that they were a group of more than 20 horsemen, and in the face of these hundreds of cavalry, was there a big difference between holding weapons and not holding weapons?

If Hawke wanted to kill them, whether they had weapons or not, they would have to die, so it would be better to do it all.

When the rest of the steppe cavalry saw that Amosi had laid down their arms and dismounted, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they could only do it obediently.

After taking away the weapons and horses of Amosi and the others, Hawke took them directly back to the Blue Wolf City.

Then, a group of cavalry galloped towards the drop of Great Xia.

After nearly five days, Hawke's letter was finally delivered to Great Xia City.

When Xia Qi learned from the letter that the people of the Arata tribe on the grassland wanted to ask to see him, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

However, when he thought of the news that had come from the grassland recently, he had a little guess about the other party's intentions.

After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Xia Qi agreed to this Amosi request.

From Amoxi to Blue Wolf City, and then to Xia Qi's order from Great Xia to Blue Wolf City, Amoxi set off from Blue Wolf City to arrive in Great Xia City, and it took nearly half a month.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Aratha tribe has entered the city."

Xia Qi nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Zhang Liang, sort out the schedule for the next few days and arrange a time to come out." ”

"No!"

Although nothing happened when he came in, Xia Qi didn't rush to summon the grassland messenger, and let him dry him for two days first.

Then, in Amossi's anxious waiting, he was finally summoned two days later.

The Temple of Audience.

"Amosi, the envoy of the Aratha tribe, has seen His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor!"

Xia Qigao sat on the throne, and Xia Qi looked at the grassland people below with an expressionless face.

According to information from the grassland, this Amossi is the younger brother of Alat, the former leader of the Arata tribe, and the uncle of the current chief, Shinar, and should be between forty and fifty years old.

But to be honest, just looking at the other party's appearance and appearance, no one will doubt that he is an old man in his sixties and seventies.

At the same time that Xia Qi was looking at Amosi, Amosi was also looking at His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor, who had already been famous in the grassland.

To his shock, His Majesty the Emperor looked too young!

It's unbelievably young.

Along the way, Amosi had imagined the appearance of His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor countless times.

Originally, he thought that this emperor should be a middle-aged man at least forty years old, with a resolute face full of majesty, but now, sitting in front of him was a young man who was completely opposite to what he had imagined.

In fact, Amossi's guess was not wrong.

Xia Qi has entered the battlefield of civilization for nearly twenty years

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

years, according to his real age, he is actually about forty years old.

But because he had taken the Immortal Pill, his appearance was forever fixed at the moment when he ate the Immortal Pill.

Looking at Amosi who was stunned, Xia Qi took the lead in speaking: "Amosi, tell me what you mean." ”

Xia Qi's words were very direct, and he went directly to Amoxi, and most of the words he had thought of in advance on the road were invalidated on the spot.

Amossi's mouth was long, but he couldn't say a word.

Xia Qi didn't urge, just kept looking at him like this, as if he was watching an animal perform.

Amosi was at a loss and looked nervous.

Xia Qi only used one sentence to pull the other party into his own rhythm, which also made him master all the dominance in the following conversation.

At this time, Amosi's brain was already in a mess, and in the end, he simply chose a showdown.

"His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor, I have come this time to ask for help on behalf of the Alatta tribe, and I hope that His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor can send an army to assist our Alata tribe in defeating the Morhan tribe!"

Listening to this Amosi's words, Xia Qi's face was still calm, because after Hawke's report was sent, he guessed the other party's intention.

Intelligence sent from the steppe shows that the Aratha tribe and the Morhan tribe have been fighting each other in the depths of the steppe for several years.

However, the Shivaka of the Morhan tribe is obviously more capable of development than Shinar, and while dealing with Shinar's Arata tribe, his own development has not fallen behind at all.

Over the past few years, the Aratha tribe has struggled more and more, and in the last few battles, it has fallen into disadvantage.

Although it is not a short period of time, it will not be a complete defeat.

But in the long run, sooner or later, the Aratha tribe will be exterminated or annexed by the Morhan tribe.

All this is just a matter of time.

I don't know if that Shinar himself was aware of the problem, or if someone was helping him with advice and actually thought of coming to him to borrow troops.

After explaining his intentions, Amosi quietly observed Xia Qi's expression.

However, to his disappointment, the expression on Xia Qi's face was still calm as usual.

As a leader, especially the king of a country, it is only the most basic thing to be invisible.

Even, even laughing and scolding, they are deliberately pretended to be shown to others.

Xia Qi just sat on the throne like this, quietly looking at Amosi below, but he didn't say anything.

Amosi was tormented in his heart, and he was like a year, and just when he couldn't hold on, Xia Qi finally spoke.

"I'm Great Xia, and I refuse to send troops."

Hearing this, Amossi's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and then pinched it fiercely, and the whole person made a swing, and his face quickly turned pale.

Hurriedly said: "His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia, the leader of the Moerhan tribe, Shivaka, has annexed dozens of tribes large and small in the grassland, and now he has established a country in the depths of the grassland, and if he is allowed to develop like this, it must be a huge threat!" ”

"If you don't send troops to exterminate it now, in a few years, even Your Majesty the Great Xia Emperor will be threatened by its Grassland Country!"

Amosi exaggerated the threat of the Morkhan tribe in a loud voice, trying to attract Xia Qi's attention by this means, so that Xia Qi could send troops to attack the Morkhan steppe country.

However, Xia Qi, who attaches great importance to the grassland, will not know this news?

That Swaka is indeed called a country in the depths of the steppe, and even the system of the country is very similar to that of Great Xia.

From this point, it is obvious that that that Schwagka had studied Great Xia in detail.

Xia Qi admitted that Schvaka and the country he founded did pose a certain threat to Great Xia.

He also thought about raising troops to strangle this threat in the cradle.

However, this matter is not particularly urgent.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Xia Qi didn't believe that a mere grassland native could threaten his Great Xia in just a few years.

Not to mention the rest, a single bronze smelting technique is enough for them to learn for a lifetime.

Not to mention, the height of the walls of the border cities of Great Xia is not less than ten meters.

For the steppe people, who are all cavalry and are not good at attacking cities, this is simply a trench.

Before these steppe people developed siege equipment and formed a large number of infantry units, Great Xia could be said to be invincible!

Therefore, in the face of Amosi's remarks, Xia Qi can be said to be completely unmoved.

"Amoxi, you came all the way from the steppe to Great Xia City, and you sat down all the way, do you still think that a mere Schwaka and the so-called Molkhanate can pose a threat to my Great Xia?"

Hearing this, Amoxi's expression was obviously stiff, after entering the territory of Great Xia, what he saw and heard along the way could be said to have completely subverted Amoxi's entire worldview.

Compared with the grassland people, who have been exposed to the wind and sun on the grassland all the year round and have to worry about food from time to time, the people of Daxia live in two completely different worlds from them.

The prosperous and powerful Great Xia has too much impact on Amossi.

Therefore, in the face of Xia Qi, he didn't know how to answer at all.

Was Shivaka and his Morkhanate a threat to Bactria ?

He originally thought that there was, so he dared to come to Great Xia from the Arata tribe, wanting to seek support and defeat everyone's common enemy.

But the current situation is that this self-proclaimed common enemy of Amosi is completely worthless to Great Xia.

Looking at Amosi's face below, which turned white for a while, turned green for a while, and turned red for a while, Xia Qi laughed secretly in his heart.

For this Mor Khanate, he really wants to clean it up, but he can't spare his hands for a while, and if he lets the other party develop, it is not good to let this trouble continue to grow.

At this time, it would be good to borrow the hands of other steppe people to add a little blockage to that Swagka.

Immediately, Xia Qi suddenly spoke: "I really don't plan to send troops in Great Xia, but I don't mind selling some weapons and equipment to you, provided that you can afford the price." ”

Xia Qi's words made Amosi, who was standing below, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "I don't know what price His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor wants?" ”

Although reinforcements can't be pulled, it's good to get a batch of weapons and equipment!

The weapons and equipment of the steppe people have always been stretched, and the Molkhanate was able to gain an advantage in the battle with the Alata tribe, and the bronze weapons obtained from Bactria were of great merit.

If the Aratha tribe can also get a batch of bronze weapons, how can they save some of the situation!

When Xia Qi heard this, he said: "Cows, sheep, and horses, then these come to exchange with me." ”

The most abundant resources on the grassland are cattle, sheep and horses, among which Xia Qi wants nothing more than war horses.

Although the current three cities of Kereh, Blue Wolf and Mustang all have horse farms, there are not many war horses produced every year, and the reason is that the number of horses is not enough.

Moreover, the war horses that are replaced by the cavalry units every year alone occupy the vast majority.

For war horses, I think the more the merrier, anyway, the current Great Xia can afford to raise them.

Of course, cattle and sheep also play a big role in Great Xia.

The wool produced by sheep can be used to make bedding and winter clothing, and cattle can be used to cultivate fields.

For an agrarian civilization, ploughing cattle is, to some extent, more important than war horses.

But these things are also very important to the steppe people.

Xia Qi's words were like a basin of cold water, splashed on Amosi's face, making him sober up instantly.

He wanted to change the price, but after thinking about it carefully, he sadly found that they grassland people could no longer take out anything of value except cattle, sheep and horses.
