Han Dao world

Chapter 492
Ke Zui rushed back to the tribe, and rushed to Ke Bineng's big tent as soon as possible.

After listening to Ke Zui's report, Ke Bineng was not too surprised, but showed a helpless wry smile.

"Before you came back, I had already received the news. The wolf rider circled me half a circle, and the closest time was less than fifty miles away from me."

Ke's heart skipped a beat.Fifty miles, is this equal to face to face?I am afraid that the wolf riders are not going for the Xianbei people in Junji Mountain, but for the commander.

"Master, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, it's fine for now." Ke Bi Neng comforted Ke Zui while pinching his sore brows. "No matter how brave Lu Bu is, he would not dare to fight me with a hundred cavalry."

Ke was hesitant to say anything.Lu Bu didn't dare to fight against Ke with a hundred riders, but how about a thousand riders?
He has seen the fighting power of the wolf cavalry with his own eyes. The hundred cavalry assaulted and killed most of his five hundred subordinates in a few words, which was more than a pack of wolves.If there are thousands of riders, I am afraid that they will dare to face an opponent ten times their size head-on.

"You said just now that Lu Bu has seen the tax we received?"

"Well, there is a long history named Huang Yi, who seems to be a scholar."

"He is indeed a scholar, and he is Yuan Shu's son-in-law."

Ke's heart skipped a beat.He chatted with Huang Yi for a long time, but he didn't expect that Huang Yi would be the son-in-law of Yuan's family.

"Clean up and tidy up the best things. I'm going to Xiu Tuze to meet the emperor of the Han family." Ke Bineng stood up. "There was a snowstorm this year, and next spring will be very difficult. I just took this opportunity to ask for help and see if I can ask for some food for emergency."

"Can the Han family have food for us? They don't even have enough food for themselves."

"I am also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, what if I can ask for it?" Ke Bineng sighed: "Under the blade, you can't bow your head."

Ke felt the most reasonable and nodded in agreement.

Ke Bineng then ordered his subordinates to prepare to slaughter all the frozen animals and send them to Han.It's useless for him to keep these livestock. Although he doesn't have to worry about rotting, they won't last until next spring.Take it to Han, maybe you can exchange it for some grain.

When asking for help, you can't do it empty-handed. Equivalent exchange is the most reliable way.

There were not enough livestock, so Ke Bi Neng picked out some more horses, and barely made up the amount that could be exchanged for food.

Ke couldn't rest the most, and he rushed to Xiu Tuze first with the most expensive gift.Ke Bi Neng had to wait a little longer, at least until the wolf rider was far away from his station.If the wolf cavalry suddenly attacked while he was away, it would be a catastrophe for the genocide.

Ke knew the burden on his shoulders the most. He took gifts, traveled day and night, and arrived at Xiu Tu Ze in early December.

Liu Xie quickly received Ke Zui.

Liu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the wolf cavalry was active in the Junji Mountain area, and the results were gratifying.The wolf riders did not return for a long time, and his heart was hanging in the air, for fear that Lu Bu's departure would be unfavorable, there would be major losses, and even the entire army would be wiped out.

Now it seems that the effect is better than expected, even the brave Ke Bi Neng on the grassland is afraid, so he rushed to see him.

"Is the snowstorm serious?"

"Seriously, it snowed several times in succession, lasting for two or three days." Ke Zui sighed. "Almost all the livestock died of freezing. If there is no relief, at least half of them will die next year."

"No." Liu Xie said.

Ke is most hopeful.It seems that the emperor of the Han family is still trustworthy, and this is going to rescue him.

Liu Xie went on to say: "The vast majority of them will not live until next year."

Ke Zui's smile froze before it even bloomed, and he didn't know how to comment for a moment.

"After you go back, tell the commander-in-chief a way: go to various tribes to collect livestock that have been frozen to death, the more the better. I will send someone to send you some salt. Use salt to pickle these livestock so that they can be preserved for a longer period of time. It will be no problem to persist until next spring. By next spring, the imperial court’s disaster relief food will almost be delivered.”

"Your Majesty, pickle... with salt?" Ke Zui's eyes widened.

Liu Xie was surprised. "You won't?"

Ke Zui shook his head repeatedly. "No, and I can't afford it, how much salt does it cost?"

Liu Xie thought for a while before reacting.For the peoples on the grasslands, salt is too precious, far more valuable than the livestock themselves.Curing meat with salt is putting the cart before the horse. It's better to take advantage of the cold on the grassland and freeze it directly.

It's just that although the grassland is cold, it will warm up in March and April, and frozen meat can no longer be preserved.In this case, they also don't use salt, but air-dry, or smoke, which makes sense.

I took it for granted.

"In a word, tomorrow spring, the government's relief will be sent to the grassland." Liu Xie said: "I think you can understand that it is not so easy to transport grain from Guanzhong and Hedong."

Ke nodded with the most satisfaction.As long as the emperor of the Han family is willing to provide food, his mission will be completed. As for whether the other tribes will be driven to extinction by the wolf riders, that is their business.It may be better to kill them all, and no one will fight for the ranch in the future.

Of course, this is only an intentional decision.How much food the court can provide in the end depends on Ke Bineng's sincerity.

Ke Zui asked Liu Xie again, hoping that the wolf riders would not "accidentally injure" Ke Bineng's tribe.

Liu Xie agreed, and at the same time he issued an edict to the wolf rider, he asked Kebi to write Chinese characters on his battle flag according to Lu Bu's suggestion.For this reason, Liu Xie also specially handwritten a character Ke to Ke Bineng, which is regarded as a surname. He hoped that Ke Bi could abide by the courtiers, assist Han and Tibetans, suppress evil and promote good.

Then, Liu Xie told Ke Zui the good news that a large number of mulberry trees were planted in Hedong and Guanzhong. Within a year or two, a large amount of silk would be on the market, and then it would pass through the grasslands and be transported to the Western Regions.There are several rivers near Junji Mountain with lush water and grass, which are the places where caravans must pass.If Kebi can manage well, there is an opportunity to profit from it.

Ke Zui was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked for details.

Liu Xie was not afraid of trouble, and personally explained the specific arrangement to Ke Zui.After listening to Liu Xie's explanation, Ke knew that it was not a lie. The emperor of the Han family also eagerly hoped to profit from the silk trade and solve the current predicament.

Thinking of the benefits that the silk business could bring, Ke was most elated, and felt that it was right to move here to listen to the edict of the emperor of the Han family.

This is a way of making money.

Ke Zui immediately ordered someone to return Ke Bineng, and asked him to come to Xiu Tuze as quickly as possible to discuss the details with the emperor of the Han family.The opening of the commercial road is imminent, and there must be many people who want to profit from it. If you take the first step, you will be one step closer to a prosperous life.

There is an edict from the emperor to guarantee that the threat of wolf riders can be basically ruled out. After receiving the news from Ke Zui, Kebi Neng ordered someone to forward the edict of the emperor to Lu Bu, and set off with the prepared horses, cattle and sheep, and rushed to Xiu. Tu Ze.
