45. Ambition
Looking at the Hun cavalryman who was obviously spreading the word, Zhang Qi stretched out his hand and held down the eagle's bow.
"There are a lot of them, don't mess around yet."
The eagle's temperament is very reckless, and they have always been slaves before, after having the ability to protect themselves, the eagle wants to do it when he sees the Huns.
But Zhang Qi can't, although he also hates the Huns, but there are more than 100 horsemen on the opposite side, once the conflict starts, Zhang Qi does not dare to guarantee that there will be no casualties on his side.
His brain was running rapidly, and Zhang Qi shouted directly to the cavalry who was passing the word on the opposite side: "We are from the Ding Ling clan, this time we want to go to the tribes of Zuo Tuqi and Zuo Gu Liwang to exchange for some rare goods!" ”
Zhang Qi's loud shout was clearly heard by the cavalryman, and he spun around twice on his horse, and then rushed back into the crowd over there.
The Hun cavalry who passed the word conveyed Zhang Qi's words beside Aguru.
The latter frowned and nodded: "Let them put away their crossbows, we will pass." ”
The Hun cavalry who gave the order went out again and conveyed it to Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words he sent back, but instead of ordering the NPC soldiers to lay down their weapons, he continued to shout loudly.
"We don't want to be embarrassed by Aguru Baichang, but the men of the grassland will not easily put down the weapons in their hands, the grassland men who put down their weapons are like lambs, they will be eaten by wolves and foxes at any time, we don't want to be eaten, but I swear to the gods that I will never attack Aguru Baichang!"
The Hun cavalry who gave the order nodded approvingly, and then returned to Aguru's side.
"Let's go!"
Aguru was not angry when he heard the words brought back by the Hun cavalry who gave the order, he knew that what the person on the other side said was right, it was unrealistic to want the real steppe man to lay down his arms, since the other party had sworn to the gods, plus the men on his side, they would not dare to attack their own people.
Both sides stared at each other and slowly approached, Zhang Qi's side was close to the Yuqu River, so Aguru's side passed by on the other side.
The formation changed little by little, and Zhang Qi and the others always maintained the posture of facing the Hun cavalry.
Until the two sides are staggered.
Looking at the Hun cavalry on the opposite side, Zhang Qi cautiously shouted: "Aguru Baichang, where are you going?" ”
Probably because there was no attack on Zhang Qi's side, and their personnel and equipment looked good, Aguru thought about it and shouted loudly:
"Shan Yu is gathering the grassland boys, ready to enter the customs and loot at any time after the beginning of spring, you Ding Ling clan should also receive the news, if you have the opportunity, you can also join in, you Ding Ling clan knows the wealth of Han land better than us."
The Ding Ling tribe is also known as the high car clan, and their daily habit is to do business while grazing on the high cart, and the entire grassland, including the Western Regions, is the trade range of the Ding Ling clan.
Zhang Qi chewed on the meaning of Aguru's words, entering the customs and looting?
He roughly knew from Lu Muma San's mouth that it was the early days of Emperor Wu's succession, and it stands to reason that the Huns had hardly passed the customs since Wenjing, but this time he heard what the other party said, and the military minister Shan Yu was summoning the grassland men to enter the customs.
"Could it be..."
A trace of inspiration appeared in Zhang Qi's mind, as if he wanted to catch something, but he didn't have time to think about it now, so he had to reply loudly: "Then I have to quickly exchange the goods for cattle and sheep, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with this great thing!" ”
"Hahaha, yes, the wealth of Han is not worth more than the things on the grassland? If you come, go to Zuo Tu Qi to find me Aguru, and I will invite you to drink!" ”
"Hahaha, okay, I'll definitely go over to find you then."
Zhang Qi laughed a few times, and then watched Aguru gradually walk away with the people.
It wasn't until they ran far away that Zhang Qi pressed his arm, and the NPC soldiers returned to normal.
Sitting back beside the fire, Zhang Qi thought carefully of the wars during the period of Emperor Wu, the wars of the Western Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu were almost all concentrated in the middle and early stages of Emperor Wu's reign, and there were few wars in the early days, or even none.
If the purpose of the Huns' entry into Han land this time was to plunder, then there was only one event that could be matched.
"Ma Yi's plan!"
"That's it! No wonder the military minister Shan Yu wanted to gather all the ministries of the grassland, this time his purpose was to take away a city completely, but if I remember correctly, the result of Ma Yi's conspiracy was that no one died, uh, no, the Han Dynasty died an unlucky guy on the other side,"
Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, if it was really Ma Yi's plan, it would be a golden opportunity for him, and the descendants of Zuo Tu Qi and Zuo Gu Liwang, who were directly under the Xiongnu headquarters, would definitely respond to the order of the military minister Shan Yu.
Then the whole Hulunbuir is safe for Zhang Qi, and he can rest assured that he can pass through the forces of these two departments and reach the territory of the Donghu people.
As for whether there will be danger in Donghu? Zhang Qi smacked his mouth, Donghu is now crippled by the Huns, only two people and horses are active in Xianbei Mountain and Wuhuan Mountain, and they have long been beaten by the Huns into grandsons.
"It's an opportunity! Hurry up and eat, we're going to speed up! ”
Zhang Qi shouted to a few people, and although everyone didn't know what was going on, they all nodded and started eating again.
It didn't take long for the meal to be almost finished, and the rest was not resting, so pack up the things, get on the horse and leave.
There are still 500 kilometers away from Hulun Lake, and after crossing Hulun Lake, they will be safe when they arrive at the Great Khing'an Mountains, and then whether they use the Great Khing'an Mountains as a base to develop their forces or continue to advance eastward to seize the Northeast Plain, it is a matter that can be considered.
As for the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qi said that he went to the Han Dynasty of TM, he couldn't stand being a slave for only one day, what could he do after going to the Han Dynasty?
Fight? He won't, all he has is cavalry and chopping troops, but can this be shown at will in the Han Dynasty? The sources are not clear.
Study? He thought about it, but when he thought of the language of the Han region now, he dispelled his mind again, and it was not a joke that the ten miles of different sounds were not a joke.
If the text can't be written, the martial arts can't be done, what can he do when he goes back?
It's better to shrink into a territory where the Han and Xiongnu don't have any ideas to do something, and when the development is almost over, the world is so big, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do a career?
With his golden finger, it only takes eight months to raise a child, and this child still speaks Mandarin and writes simplified characters, isn't it better than going back to being a dog?
Off-road immediately, Zhang Qi made up his mind, the territory of Donghu, he was going to decide!
With the advantages of the Northeast Plain, it is not impossible to feed millions of people with the labor force of this era, and with the advantages of the rivers of Heilongjiang and Songhua River, it is also a good choice to go out into the sea to develop the navigation industry.
"Drive!"
Zhang Qi held the reins, his heart surging, and the speed of the team's progress accelerated again.
