Chapter 219: Trade

As soon as Alina's order to retreat was issued, the barbarian army collapsed on all fronts, and everyone began to flee desperately back.

However, the defenders in Shahe Pass obviously did not intend to let go of the barbarian army so easily, and the trebuchets and heavy crossbows still greeted the barbarian army vigorously.

Looking at the falling barbarian soldiers, Alina's face became very pale, she understood that after this battle, the barbarians no longer had the strength to compete with the great cadres.

Half an hour later, the barbarian army finally retreated to the camp.

But at this time, the barbarian army has long lost its former majesty, whether it is a general or a soldier, there is an unconcealable horror on their faces, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a remnant of the defeated army.

The shock of this battle was too great for them, and the weapons used by the defenders of Shahe Pass had greatly exceeded their understanding.

They even linked these weapons to the gods, believing that they were helping the defenders of Shahe Pass.

"Yu Hao, those weapons should have been invented by you, right?" Alina looked at Yu Hao bitterly.

Yu Hao nodded undeniably, he saw the tragic situation of the barbarian soldiers, and he could also understand Alina's current mood.

But war is like that, either you die or I die!

Although these weapons of mass murder made by Yu Hao brutally killed hundreds of thousands of barbarians, Yu Hao did not have the slightest guilt in his heart.

Because these are the enemies of the Great Qian!

"How majestic my barbarian army of 400,000 is, I didn't expect to be defeated by you alone." Alina smiled wryly.

In her opinion, the Yunzhou army has been in a slump since the first battle of Peacock Mountain, and if it wasn't for Yu Hao's timely arrival, Shahe Pass would have been lost long ago.

As for the 20,000 Jianwei troops, do they really have combat effectiveness?

If it weren't for the fact that they had such a powerful weapon in their hands, would they be the opponent of the barbarian army?

Therefore, the barbarians were not defeated by the army of Daqian, but by the hands of Hao alone.

At this moment, Ah Rilang walked over with a gloomy face, and said to Alina: "Sister, the number of people has been counted, the forward battalion, the beast army, and the left guard battalion have all been wiped out, and less than 80,000 people have escaped alive from the other departments, including many wounded. ”

"According to the preliminary count, at least thousands of wounded are seriously injured, and I am afraid that they will not last long."

Saying that, Ah Rilang looked at Yu Hao, his eyes were full of coldness: "You big cadres slaughtered our barbarian warriors like this, one day I will kill all of you big cadres to avenge my brothers!" ”

"Hmph, since you have chosen to invade Daqian, this is the price you should pay! If you still don't repent, Lord Ben doesn't mind destroying your barbarian clan directly! Yu Hao said coldly.

"You...... I'll kill you now to comfort my dead brother's soul in heaven!" Ah Rilang was furious, and he grabbed Yu Hao and was about to do it.

In the next second, three short arrows stretched out from Yu Hao's arm guards, directly against Ah Rilang's neck.

"If you don't want to die, try it!"

"Stop!" Alina opened Arrilang's hand, "As the general of the barbarians, you should go and comfort the wounded soldiers now, instead of acting as a bully here!" ”

Ah Rilang gritted his teeth, let go of Yu Hao, and turned away angrily.

Alina breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that Ah Rilang would clash with Yu Hao in a fit of anger, no matter who suffered in the end, it was not what she wanted to see.

"You're right, success and defeat, this is the price we should pay! But if there is a choice, who wants to fight? Alina looked at Yu Hao, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Our barbarian land is barren, resources are scarce, and we have been living by plundering since ancient times, coupled with the continuous natural disasters in recent years, our barbarians have just ended hundreds of years of civil strife, and we are in urgent need of a lot of resources."

"We also don't want to be enemies with the big cadres, but the surrounding countries are poorer than the other except the big cadres, and if we want to plunder resources, we can only invade the banner."

"Actually, if you want resources, you don't need to plunder at all, you barbarians have cattle and sheep and vast forests, as well as all kinds of mountain goods and herbs, these things can be taken to our Daqian territory, and our Daqian merchants can exchange what you need." Yu Hao hurriedly said.

Although Daqian has a large land and abundant resources, animal husbandry is very backward, and this has led to the fact that cattle and sheep are very precious livestock in Daqian.

If you can get the barbarian cattle and sheep to Daqian, you can definitely sell them for a good price.

Moreover, the barbarian territory is full of dense primeval forests, whether it is yam mushrooms, or log animal skins, it is a rare treasure to get to the big dry, and it has high economic value.

"Although you barbarians have barren land, they are not without grass, as far as I know, the sugarcane, rubber, tea and all kinds of fruits in your territory grow well, if you are willing to take these things out and trade with the great cadres, I can help you match the bridge." Yu Hao continued.

His Haoyue store has been opened to Yunzhou, which is the closest to the barbarians, and if he can open up a trade route with the barbarians, it will be a great thing for both the two countries and Hao himself.

Of course, Yu Hao is not to help the barbarians, but for the interests of Daqian and himself.

After all, if you can trade with the barbarians, Daqian will have one less enemy, and he can make a lot of money, so why not do it?

"But you can't eat fruit for dinner, right? And sugar cane is everywhere, and we can use it to quench our thirst at most, and it has no value at all! Alina frowned, she really couldn't understand what could be traded with the Great Qian.

In fact, before this, there were also many barbarian merchants who would do business with the Great Qianren, but they usually traded some animal skins and mountain goods.

Cash crops such as sugarcane and rubber have never been traded, so in Alina's opinion, sugarcane is not worth anything at all, and Yu Hao is probably deceiving her.

Yu Hao smiled slightly, sugarcane can make sucrose, in this period when there is only maltose, sucrose is definitely a hot commodity once it comes out!

Thinking of this, Yu Hao hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, if you want, I can make a list for you, you can use the things on the list to exchange with me, except for strategic resources such as iron, whether it is cloth, food, or daily necessities, you barbarians can exchange whatever you want." ”

Iron is a very important strategic resource, so it is naturally impossible to trade it, not to mention that even Yu Hao's own iron is bought, even if he wants to trade it, he can't do it!

Listening to Yu Hao's words, Alina's eyes moved slightly.

Although the barbarians suffered heavy losses this time, if they could open the trade route between the two countries, she would be worthy of the barbarians' people.

Moreover, what the barbarians lacked most was food and cloth, and if she could really exchange these things that she thought were worthless for food and cloth, it would definitely be a good thing for the barbarian people.

It's like she said before, if everyone can be fed and clothed, who wants to go to war?

However, Alina didn't rush to agree to Yu Hao, but Yu Hao took it to the king's tent, and she found an excuse to sneak out, planning to ask Wu Miaomiao if what Yu Hao said was true.
