In the silence, Lu Zhi was the first to speak, and as soon as he spoke, the atmosphere dropped to a lower point:

"The iron in my hand is not so easy to hold, otherwise why would I use iron to trade with you this time instead of grain? In fact, this is the sincerity with which I recruit from you. Now that I'm here, who of you wouldn't want to take over the sincerity of this town? ”

After speaking, Lu Zhi stopped talking, and just played with the bronze jue in his hand.

Lu Zhi didn't speak, but the Hu chieftains present never dared to let Lu Zhi's words fall to the ground.

Not to mention that Lu Zhi is a behemoth like the Han family behind him, his five thousand Han cavalry in the city alone is a very powerful force.

In this world, a well-equipped Han cavalry can be a Wuhu with one ride, and the strength of 5,000 Han cavalry is comparable to that of more than 50,000 Hu people. And the most powerful Xianbei royal court on the grassland may also have the strength to control fifty or sixty thousand horsemen, so the strength in Lu Zhi's hands is not at all something that the Daidi Hu people can compete with.

Hu people are very practical, as long as you are strong, you can put forward conditions.

Soon, the Wuhuan chieftains, who were more pro-Han among the chiefs, began to take the lead in expressing their positions.

The one who spoke was a Wuhuan handsome man named Guli, who patted his chest and said to Lu Zhi who was on the top:

"Xiao Chen can provide 200 warriors for Lu Zhenbei."

According to the social organization form of Wuhuan, it can be divided into three levels, from top to bottom. Each part has roughly thousands of households to ten thousand. There are hundreds of people in each town, and each fall is about seven to ten people. And the length of a part is called an adult, the length of a town is called Xiaoshuai, and the length of a fall is called the account.

So since this Guli is called Xiaoshuai, it is said that he has at least hundreds of falls in his hands and thousands of people. In other words, the 200 dingkou that this person promised just now directly occupied 10% of the population, which cannot be described as insincere.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Li finished speaking, Lu Zhi, who was at the top, smiled directly at him.

Lu Zhi said to the bone:

"Well, you're the chief who walked past me before, I remember you. You are indeed loyal to the Great Han. I will never treat a loyal minister like you badly, and I will give you a survey later, and you can come directly to Daixian Hushi in the future. ”

After Lu Zhi said this, Guli had no scruples, and once again kneeled to the middle, bowing and thanking Lu Zhi.

And the chiefs of the other tribes sighed in their hearts after listening to Lu Zhi's words.

It turns out that Lu Zhi's words are too informative, what does it mean to investigate the bones? Will the mutual market need to verify the survey in the future?

Just when the chieftains were suspicious, Lu Zhi spoke:

"Well, by the way, a trifle. I just forgot to talk about it, but the town feels that there is still no rule in the past mutual market. Originally, His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty cared about the unity of the world, whether it was the grassland or the Central Plains, they were all his people, so he authorized the opening of the market on the border, so that the people of the grassland could also feel His Majesty's blessings. But what? ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhi looked around at the dozens of chieftains present and said coldly:

"But what about some people? While receiving the favor of my Han family, I want to be the enemy of my Han family. For these people, the town will not allow them to still trade with each other in the city. Therefore, the system of mutual market of exploration and cooperation is specially promulgated, and only in the future can the survey and cooperation issued by me be in the mutual market of secluded and border. ”

That's right, after using iron tools to exchange markets, Lu Zhi used a new trick, that is, to explore and merge the market. Of course, this hand is not just a threat, but once again chaotic Hu people.

Because Lu Zhi used a method, that is, the survey does not write the specific Hu tribe, as long as you take the survey into the city, you will recognize it. So what happens? It can be seen that the Hu people will fight again because of the survey.

So after Lu Zhi finished speaking, the Hao chieftains couldn't sit still. It's not that they guessed Lu Zhi's vicious intentions, but that they heard the threatening meaning of Lu Zhi's words.

Who is the loyal minister of the Han family, that is the tribe that agreed to give it this time. So who are the enemies? Isn't it just that you don't want to give soldiers?

But even if they saw this, what could these Hu chiefs do?

The current situation is that everyone can't be of one mind at all, and these Hao chieftains present can be divided into Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu in terms of race. Under the subdivision, each chief can be divided into royal species, small species, and other species.

The so-called royal race is a race that can be traced back to a certain Hu king. Now there are also Xiongnu and Xianbei people on the grassland, so these two ethnic groups have royal races.

The so-called small race means that it is another partial branch of this ethnic group, but it can still be traced back to the relationship. The other species are those who are mixed on the grassland after taking refuge in Xianbei, Xiongnu or Wuhuan. They belong to these three tribes, but in fact, no one can tell the origin of the clan.

And here in Daidi, there are thirty-eight tribes of other races, twenty-six small races, and even rare royal races.

It was when the Southern Xiongnu were attached, and a tribe of the Liji clan was moved to Daidi, and since then they have been the Xiongnu tribes in this area.

At this time, the Kuri clan also came and participated in this mutual market.

In fact, he had the heart to refuse Lu Zhi's recruitment suggestion, in the past, their Huns did work hard for the Han people, after all, the Han court did give more, which was much more stable than they took the initiative to rob it.

But with the decline of the Han dynasty in the past two years, and even the great gods have been divided into east and west, and there are more and more calls for the revival of the Xiongnu within the Southern Xiongnu.

"We Huns are the sons of immortality and the eagles of the steppe. At that time, the ancestors had no choice but to attach the Han soil, but more than a hundred years have passed, and the grassland is inhabited by those lowly Xianbei Donghu. Now that Xianbei is divided, isn't it the right time for our Huns to return to the grassland? ”

However, the voice of the Xiongnu Shaozhuang faction was suppressed by the Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu.

The old Qiangqu was reluctant to implement such a radical strategy, and now everything made him very satisfied. Therefore, the young Zhuang faction secretly shouted:

"Lao Shan Yu would rather be a hyena of the Han people than an eagle of the grassland."

The Li clan of Daijun knew about this undercurrent in the clan, so he was reluctant to express his position on this matter. If he agreed to Lu Zhi's suggestion, those young Zhuang factions in the clan would definitely target him.

Therefore, the Kuri clan is reluctant to wade into this troubled water.

But the Li clan silently glanced at the Wuhuan people opposite, and his heart became more and more cold towards his peers.

The Wuhuan people are famous traitors among the Hu people. Basically, the famous chieftains were canonized by the Han family, and they rushed to the front every time they recruited troops. In order to reward the "loyalty and bravery" of the Wuhuan people, the Han family specially opened a field in Guangning City in Shanggu, and exchanged markets with the Wuhuan people when they were young.

Therefore, the Li clan knew that Lu Zhi's request to recruit troops would definitely be satisfied, because those Wuhuan people would even go to the grassland to hunt slaves for the sake of the source of iron tools in the future.

And once the Wuhuan people take down the long-term iron channel, it is conceivable what the end of the Huns in that generation will be.

And iron will rot eventually. Even if they get more iron tools this time, it is still better to master a stable channel by themselves after all.

So, the Li clan thought about it left and right, and still said:

"Xiao Wang has been a loyal minister of the Han family since the beginning of his ancestors, and it is with the help of the Han family that we Huns can cultivate and live in the land on behalf of the people, and will not be harmed by the white wind. So Xiao Wang has been thinking about how to repay this kindness, and now Lu Shuai has a need, not to think that my Hu people are weak and despicable, Xiao Wang is willing to ride 3,000 for Lu Shuai to drive. ”

Here Li Ji thought about it, he knew that if he sent few troops, he would definitely be broken up by Lu Zhi. When the time comes, these soldiers and horses will definitely not come back. Therefore, the Li clan simply sent 3,000 troops, and they went out with people and horses. At that time, this soldier and horse still had to be led by the Huns themselves, and they also had a certain degree of autonomy.

He looked down on the obscenity of those Wuhuan people.

No one could have guessed their little bit of caution. For example, the seemingly respectful Guli just now watched two hundred soldiers come out. But he said two hundred, in other words, only people.

But these Wuhuan people are cavalry, and only on horseback can they exert their combat effectiveness. Then you, Lu Zhi, have recruited these two hundred Wuhuan people, how can you not match them with horses? And once the war is unfavorable, these Wuhuan people rush back to Daidi again, wouldn't they earn a war horse in vain?

This is the careful thinking of the bones, obscene.

Sure enough, as the Li clan spoke, the Hu chieftains present exclaimed, sure enough, it was worthy of the Huns, who were too broad, and as soon as they struck, they were two hundred cavalry, which was already the total strength of the ten chieftains combined.

Of course, Lu Zhi was happy, and directly poured the wine and toasted the Li family.

Later, the chieftains of the Xiongnu tribes and the Wuhuan tribes also opened their mouths to support their troops. This one gave a hundred, that one gave fifty, and after a while, six thousand Hu Qi were made.

The smile on Lu Zhi's face never stopped, his goal this time was to recruit eight thousand horsemen to be satisfied. But it's still that sentence, who thinks that there are few soldiers in their hands!

So, Lu Zhi set his sights on the last Xianbei Hu chieftain, and now he has sent them, and so far these people have not said a word.

This made Lu Zhi very unhappy, and a pair of tiger eyes stared at a black man at the front. His person is a sturdy man, and he is the Xianbei Zahu chieftain who lives in the Daidi and is a wild boar.

At this time, the face of the wild boar changed, and he suddenly stood up and bowed to Lu Zhi:

"Lu Shuai, the wild boar has admired Tianhan since he was a child, and he is willing to be born and die for Tianhan. Please ask Lu Shuai to allow me to take the 3,000 Hu cavalry of my department to be recruited into the army, and make contributions with Lu Shuai. The biggest pursuit of wild boars in this life is to be able to be a meritorious candidate of the Han family. In this way, it is enough for the wild boar to die. ”

Lu Zhi was also stunned at this moment, he didn't expect this man called Qigan Wild Boar to be so courageous, and he would take all the soldiers and horses to follow him into the Han land, just for Bo Fugui.

Lu Zhi looked at the wild boar repeatedly, laughed, and then personally poured wine for the wild boar, and said heroically:

"Drink to win!"

And the wild boar was also sincerely afraid, respectfully drank this wine, and finally added:

"Our Han family's wine is sweet!"

Lu Zhi laughed and patted the shoulder of the wild boar, everything was silent.

……

After the feast, the Xianbei tribe drove the cart and returned to the tribe with a cart full of iron tools.

On the way, the three younger brothers of the wild boar were all around the side of the wild boar.

One of the second brothers, the bison, asked puzzledly:

"Brother, why do we all have to follow that old man Lu Zhi. I don't look like a good person to this old Han man, and I'm afraid we're going to suffer a big loss if we follow him. ”

Not only is the second child saying this, but the third child is also echoing:

"Yes, brother. We just exchanged the cattle and sheep of the tribe for the iron weapons of the Han people, and we should build a good sword to annex several Yehu tribes near us, why follow that Lu Zhi. And the fight between them and the Han people has nothing to do with us Xianbei people. I wish they had died more! ”

Since the Xianbei people unified the Monan grassland 20 years ago, they have fought three wars with the Han people, and the tribes have suffered heavy casualties. Many of the clansmen of the Qigan family died in the battle with the Han Chinese, and now let them follow the Han people to fight, they can't accept it.

After speaking, the wild deer also hated and said:

"If it weren't for the death of the old king three years ago, and the death of the new king in the north a year ago, which would have torn our Xianbei people apart, how could the Han people be so arrogant, and what kind of survey would they come up with to pinch us? Wouldn't it be better for us to grab it directly? ”

The old king said that the old king was Tanshi Huai, and the new king was talking about Tanshi Huai's son and Lian. When he attacked the northern land last year, he was shot to death by the Han Chinese with bows and arrows.

And now Helian's son Qianman is still young and unable to assume the responsibility of the supreme leader, so the Xianbei lords publicly recommend Helian's brother's son Kuitou to inherit Helian's position.

And their cadres are the forces of Helian, and for fear of being purged by the boss, they raised their clan to the south to avoid trouble.

The wild deer has to say more, and the youngest of the four brothers, the dog, suddenly said:

"I understand, brother. Now we Xianbei major people support their own troops, each doing their own thing, and even the position of an adult has begun to take care of itself without being canonized by the royal court. And I think Prince Qianman will grow up in the future, and he will still have to fight with the puppet king of the head. When the time comes, I will be in civil strife, and it will be troublesome if the Han people intervene. ”

The second brother couldn't understand what the fourth brother said at all, and he snorted:

"What the hell are you going to say? Direct point. ”

The dry dog said excitedly:

"Now the Han people are also in civil strife, especially in the Youji area, which has been fighting for two years. But I heard from the people who came back that there was also a hero in that place, called the Taishan Army. I don't know where it came from, but it pressed them to fight the Han people, and it is said that they have occupied a large area. This time, the old man Lu Zhi came to us to recruit troops, just to bring him to fight the Taishan army. And ......"

"And if the Taishan army takes the lead in unifying the north, then our Xianbei people will be in danger. Therefore, my brother wants to take all of us to help Lu Zhi fight the Taishan army. Because only the Han people who are also divided will not pose a threat to our Xianbei. ”

The latter words were said by the third elder of the four brothers, Gan Yelu, and after speaking, he still had a serious face, obviously thinking that he and the others had already shouldered the fate of the Xianbei people.

Then, the three brothers looked at the wild boar with adoring eyes, and admired the brother's foresight.

And the wild boar over there coughed after some shock, and said calmly:

"Yes, that's the way it is."

But in fact, he was just watching the gang of Wuhuan people at the banquet looking at him with bad intentions. Obviously, the other side is going to take action to eradicate him as an outsider after obtaining the iron blade.

Don't look at the Wuhuan and Xianbei people are the same species, but they have always been their own people who kill their own people the most ruthlessly.

And at that time, Lu Zhi looked like he was going to eat people, and if you didn't take out one or two thousand people, you wanted him to look good. And the Qi Gan family has a total of only 3,000 horsemen, so it is better to press all of them than to divide the troops to Na Lu Zhitun.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to be able to leave the land of right and wrong in Daidi, but also to keep integrity under Lu Zhi's account, and to make a fortune in the Han land?

It's just that I didn't expect my two younger brothers to think so much? Did I think so at the time?

Sure enough, I am also a great hero of Xianbei, worried about the country and the people.

Not to mention the idea of killing wild boars, Lu Zhi's army, which was soon stationed in Dai County, recruited about 1,000 Zahu from Dai County after gathering the 9,000 horsemen sent by various departments.

The tribe of these Zahu had just been destroyed by the tribes that had obtained iron weapons, and these people had to wander and then recruit Lu Zhi's army.

It seems that the storm that was rolled up by Lu Zhi has been blowing in Daidi.

In the end, Lu Zhi recruited three thousand generations of Han rangers to form an army. On the one hand, these heroes want to be rich and wealthy with Lu, but more of them want to take refuge.

Lu Zhi is not the only smart person. Those Hu people lack power struggle, but there is no shortage of Han people in Daidi. They have already seen that with Lu Zhi's use of the so-called iron tools and exploration to exchange markets, this generation of land has become a land of right and wrong. The tribes that were able to get along with each other in the past will be fiercely bloodied.

And at that time, what should the Han people who have no pass to protect them?

Originally, they were smaller in number than the Hu people, and they were able to maintain the balance of power because they had the advantage of iron weapons. And now that this only advantage is gone, the result left to the Daidi Han people is only a dead end.

Therefore, the Han heroes who saw these could only enlist in Lu Zhi's army to seek refuge. Nearly 3,000 heroes who were well-equipped and dared to fight joined Lu Zhi's tent, which greatly enriched the strength of the Zhenbei Army.

And all Lu Zhi has to pay is some customs clearance diplomas.

Because in order to prevent the people in the border areas from fleeing to the mainland, the law strictly forbids the customs clearance diploma for these people. In particular, the customs and other places outside Daijun, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, etc., are even more strictly prohibited.

And the condition that the Daidi heroes negotiated with Lu Zhi was that their elite troops could accompany the army, but their family members would also move inland with them, and they could not be left to wait for death in Daidi.

For this condition, Lu Zhi agreed without thinking about it.

At this time, he still cared about the laws of the Han family. For him, if he wins the Taishan Army, the Han family can still be saved. If you lose, the Han family will die, what legal prohibitions are you talking about?

Therefore, Lu Zhi waved his way and allowed the family of Dai Di Haojie to enter the customs together.

In this way, Lu Zhi recruited a total of 13,000 troops in Daidi. Then he and his own 5,000 horsemen, a huge army of 18,000 people, and nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep entered the pass from the mouth of the wild fox.

Behind the army, nearly 30,000 Han people moved along the Flying Fox Road in the mountains and mountains, preparing to settle in the Zhongshan area.

By now, Lu Zhi is ready to go south to find Zhang Chong for a decisive battle at any time.

And at this time, what is our Zhang Chong doing?
