138. Present with the enemy
"Hey, I said that you are not honest, I said that one person and one and a half buckets of food, I gave you all new food, what do you mean by giving some old and weak?!"
Grassland.
After a month or two of large-scale Koubian, the famine on the grasslands was alleviated, but there was still not enough food to eat.
It was also from two months ago that more than a dozen groups of merchants who exchanged grain for people appeared in half of Monan.
At the beginning, the grassland people who lacked food still had many evil intentions, but as the people with bad intentions slowly died, the rest were good.
In front of a tribe.
The spy merchant who weaved the net reprimanded the leader of the tribe without showing any face, and the two hundred tiger eagle strikes mixed guards stared at him, making the entire tribe silent.
The head man licked his face: "The nobles are good, there are too few warriors in our tribe, and many Han people can't be brought back from a raid, so these are all brought back by picking others who don't want them." β
"Fuck off, a certain family is not a good house, if it weren't for the scarcity of miners, I would have to come to this shitty place?!
Just you old and weak, what's the use of me taking it back, take it away, and then be nonsense, beware that I robbed the people of your tribe and brought them back to pay for the errand! β
"Noble, noble, you will be kind, accept these old and weak, our tribe really can't hold on, if you don't help, the people of our tribe will starve to death, or you look at this, half a bucket of food alone, what do you think?"
In the pleading voice of the leader, the spy merchant pretended to hesitate to look at the dozens of skinny Han people, old and weak, most of them were young children and old people.
After dealing with the grassland people for a month or two, the spy businessman felt that he could still press it again, so he shook his head after hesitating: "It's still the same sentence, it doesn't have much effect for these people to bring back, don't accept it, say goodbye!" β
As he spoke, he shouted: "Collect the team, go to the next tribe!" β
The Tiger Ben Eagle Strike Army withdrew neatly, and the tribal leader wanted to cry, gritted his teeth and grabbed the secret agent merchant again: "Nobleman, one bucket of grain for three!" β
The spy merchant looked at him and frowned, seeing that the spy was like this, the leader had already knelt down and kowtowed: "Noble, you can show kindness for the sake of our tribe who has contributed two hundred young people to you." β
"Alas, you old thing, forget it, there won't be such a good thing next time.
Give food! β
The spy merchant shouted, and more than a dozen people ran out of the guard, exchanging the price of a bucket of grain for three people, in exchange for dozens of old and weak.
Such scenes are being staged all over the grassland.
It's just that in some places, it is still necessary to cooperate with force, and the steppe people are not so honest, especially the big tribes.
Fortunately, the Tiger Ben Eagle Strike Army is not a problem with one as ten, and with sophisticated equipment, it can deal with it when the number is not overwhelming.
It has been almost two months since these secret agents and merchants came out, and during this time, they have also sent back a group of Han people, and a dozen caravans have brought back tens of thousands of Han people.
This is already the second round, and as long as the grassland Koubian does not stop, then this replacement business can continue to be done.
Don't be afraid that the population of the border county is not enough, the grassland here is plundering, and the court over there will migrate the people to the real side, and the Han Dynasty has been consuming the population like this for 70 years.
Western liaoning.
Five hundred Guyi troops, one man and two horses, entered Liaoxi County through the gap in the Great Wall.
They dress like most steppe people, and they loot like most steppe people.
It's just that their direction is getting closer to Liaodong County little by little, and some grassland people who have seen the strong strength of the Guerrilla Army also follow to pick up the bargain.
ββ
Liaodong.
Taishou House.
Zhang Qi and Zhang Yi exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went directly to the topic.
"Qi Ke has the confidence to defend the gateway to western Liaoning for me?"
"This is nature, and if I dare to come, it means that I am sure of everything."
Zhang Qi's face was indifferent, judging from his performance, Zhang Yi believed six points.
"But you only brought five hundred men, this."
Zhang Yi didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood the meaning.
"There are not many soldiers, just a few grassland border soldiers, a certain 500 can break tens of thousands!"
"Hmph, hubris!"
As soon as Zhang Qi's words fell, Zhang Yi didn't answer, but the young general behind him couldn't hold back his voice.
Zhang Qi stared at it, and the man only felt cold.
In the outside world, in the inner world, Zhang Qi has killed countless people, and after staying in the top position for a long time, he has developed an awe-inspiring momentum, which is not something that this defending general who only stays in the city can bear.
"Bo'er-" Zhang Yi reprimanded, he communicated with Zhang Qi, and it was a big faux pas to speak out without his approval.
Zhang Qi waved his hand, then continued to look at the young general who was called Bo'er, and asked, "Now the little general is credible." β
The young general nodded with an annoyed face, but the glance just now scared him.
"Hahaha, with good means, you can bluff my unsuccessful child at a glance."
Zhang Yi played the round field, Zhang Qi smiled: "Taishou doesn't have to worry too much, I will be, it will be useful to Taishou, I can't do it, Taishou will not be whispered, after all, the land of the five counties is like this, who can blame Taishou." β
"It's extreme, it's reasonable, it's the old man's daughter's attitude, there is Qi to help, and my Liaodong is stable!"
"Report ββββ"
Just when Zhang Yi wanted to talk to Zhang Qi about the scene, a hurried communication came from outside the door.
"Emergency military situation, more than 10,000 thieves have gathered in Liaoxi County, and the county has passed without worry!"
"What!"
Zhang Yi got up in shock, the gateway to western Liaoxi that he was talking about just now was Wuxian County, but he didn't expect that tens of thousands of grassland thieves would gather at this moment.
They can defend the city, and they can only look away in the field.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Qi, and Zhang Qi smiled.
"Hehe, I'm going to earn a military merit for Taishou!"
With that, he got up and left.
The street in front of the Taishou Mansion.
Zhang Qi yelled: "There is an enemy coming, get on the horse, crush them!" β
"Roar ββ!"
The sound of neat and powerful footsteps made the roof tiles on both sides of the street tremble, and Zhang Yi and others who followed also intuitively felt a sense of bravery.
Zhang Qi turned around and arched his hand: "Please be too obedient!" β
Zhang Yi hesitated slightly, but soon he beckoned, and a token representing his identity was handed to Zhang Qi.
After getting this land and the pass equivalent to the land of the five counties, Zhang Qi smiled slightly, turned over his horse, and took people away.
A day later.
Villages outside of Wuxian County are miserable in the countryside.
Women are raped, and men are swordsmen.
Tens of thousands of grassland people poured into the land, and they smirked and vented.
Property, population, grain, livestock, they robbed everything they could, but the countryside of a county could not satisfy their appetite, and everyone's eyes were on the grassland force with the greatest harvest.
Seventy percent of the wealth of a county fell into their hands, and they approved of it.
Hu Shui laughed with a hideous face: "What are you waiting for? Follow me in the next county! β
"Roarβ"
