Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 347
The negotiation between Gongsun Yuan and Helian was quite successful. When he learned that Gongsun Xu could provide more than [-] sets of equipment for the cavalry of the Northern Border Army in addition to agreeing to exchange [-] sets of equipment for the cavalry of the Northern Border Army, Helian was overjoyed flower.

Of course He Lian understands that Gongsun Xu has this capital and background. He simply doesn't like the equipment of those prairie cavalry, and only people like Gongsun Xu dare to say this. Moreover, when Gongsun Yuan says it, he can exchange it for salt , blankets and other strategic supplies, He Lian was already ready to withdraw without hesitation.

Perhaps the blanket was not important to him, at least he could use sheepskin instead in his own tribe, but this salt was different, it was a strategic material that could be compared with iron, and it was also one of the materials that was quite scarce in the grassland tribes.

Salt is essential for soldiers to maintain sufficient physical strength. If they did not consume enough salt for a long time, these brave prairie cavalry might not even be able to draw their horn bows, let alone kill the enemy bravely.

Although some natural salt mines can be found on the grasslands, they are rare after all. When cooking food or soup, many grassland tribes actually add some salty stones to season and ensure the intake of trace salt.

In fact, let alone grassland tribes, even in the Central Plains, many places lack salt. There are many natural salt mines in Bashu, and most of the salt produced there is high-quality refined salt, which is exclusively used by imperial families and officials.

The salt that ordinary people eat is basically coarse salt mixed with a lot of soil. It can be said that people in many places are not eating salt, but eating soil.Even many places near the sea eat this kind of salt with mud.

Gongsun Xu originally wanted to devote himself to solving the technology of refining refined salt, but these years, because of too many things, he couldn't handle it alone, so he handed over this matter to a newly established small department. Unfortunately, because no one Guidance, and Gongsun Xu himself did not explain much about the technique of refining refined salt in detail, so even the wealthy Northern Border Army only eats rough salt now.

However, although Gongsun Xu does not have the technology to refine refined salt, he does not lack this rough salt. After all, he has already occupied a certain sea area. In addition to going out to sea to inquire about the situation and assisting in fishing, the navy is more important in recent years. What's more, they want to protect the salt fields over there.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Xu dared to exchange salt with Helian for war horses. Helian didn't know this. No matter how wimpy you are, you will lose your temper, after all, bullying is not like that.

After Gongsun Yuan and He Lian settled everything, He Lian immediately sent Gongsun Yuan away. Although Gongsun Xu hadn't sent any equipment, salt and other supplies, He Lian didn't doubt that Gongsun Xu would go back on his word. is to deceive yourself.

Gongsun Xu may not take himself seriously, but he needs an ally who can provide him with enough horses, cattle and sheep. To be precise, Gongsun Xu has been looking for such a person, and now that he has appeared, Gongsun Xu will naturally not Deliberately obliterating himself.

After Gongsun Yuan left, He Lian went to Budugen's camp to find trouble. He argued with Budugen and Kebineng on the grounds that the food supply was unfair. Other tribal leaders rushed over to watch the fun. , Helian was unexpectedly tough, even Budugen and Ke Bineng were surprised.

However, if Helian refuted his face in this way, the two lords will really have no way to mix in the future. Although Helian also has the confidence to be arrogant, but now it is obvious that the two giants of the grassland have joined forces to punish him. Hit the muzzle.

In fact, this matter of embezzling food and grass is very common. Whoever has big fists and whose fists are hard must take advantage of it. Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng naturally take the lead, and other small tribes are bullied There is only silence.

He Lian has always been weak, Bu Dugen and the others don't bully him, who else could they bully? , Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng were almost frightened by him.

However, no matter how arrogant He Lian is, it is impossible to win over the two leaders. In addition, although the leaders of the small tribes have suffered a lot, they all came with the attitude of watching a show, so naturally they will not Who will come forward to help Helian.

As can be imagined, Helian's quarrel and toughness did not return in return. Finally, after being threatened by the two leaders, Helian had to leave angrily. Before leaving, Helian only left a sentence: "I Don't blame me for being unkind."

No one cared about Helian's words. This kid wanted to take the wrong medicine today. After Helian left, everyone continued to discuss the matter of attacking the Northern Xinjiang army camp. The [-] cavalry did not have any effect, so Budugen decided to increase the number of troops by [-].

The [-] troops went to attack the camp of the northern Xinjiang army. The momentum was not too small. After Helian returned to the camp, he secretly ordered the soldiers to count the supplies and prepare to retreat at any time. At the beginning, the camp was placed in a relatively remote place, so Helian's actions were not questioned by others.

At the end of the day, the Xianbei Allied Army did not make any progress. The camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army was extremely strong, and the [-] cavalry could not make any breakthroughs. At this point, the leaders of the Allied Army had to gather again to discuss the military situation. This time , everyone tacitly put Helian aside.

Because Helian's performance during the day made the two leaders lose face, and many leaders of other small tribes were jealous of Helian's wealth, so now they are all thinking whether it is time to take the opportunity to play tricks on Helian .

From the alliance until now, Helian's [-] elites have never been on the battlefield, and have not made any actual contribution to the allied forces. People selectively forget this point, and they all think about how to have a dumb loss with Lian.

At nightfall, in Budugen's big tent, all the leaders were saying in unison that it was Helian's fault. As for whether Helian was as embarrassing as they said, they didn't care. What can Lian do to them? Besides, so many people have said, what can He Lian dare to do.

Not to mention that the big drama of denouncing Helian was going on in the Budugen camp. In the Helian camp, [-] soldiers were ready to go before nightfall. Helian could no longer retreat during the day, otherwise it would cause a strong counterattack by the Allied forces.

He was waiting, waiting for the Northern Border Army to give him a signal. After nightfall, Helian had been waiting for more than an hour, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and Helian finally got the people who were waiting for him.

Gongsun Yuan led [-] subordinates in night clothes and was brought into the camp by Helian's patrol team. Many soldiers in the Helian camp saw this situation, but no one exclaimed or was curious. Helian had already issued an order. All soldiers are not allowed to leave the camp after nightfall.

Any soldier who wants to leave alone must obtain the consent of the chief and need to be accompanied by two other soldiers. Anyone who deliberately makes trouble will be dealt with decisively.

Furthermore, these ten thousand subordinates are the elite that Helian took over from his father, and they are basically loyal to him and the family of Helian. Therefore, the soldiers did not object to Helian's order.

After seeing He Lian, Gongsun Yuan just asked, "Are you ready?"

He Lian nodded and replied, "You can retreat at any time, and you can leave now."

"No, now is not the time." Gongsun Yuan waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way of the camp, there are already 3000 soldiers in ambush twenty miles away, and I have ordered [-] people to come first.

When the [-] frontier troops attack other tribes, you immediately burn all the tents and supplies that you can’t take away from your camp. In this way, you can be cleared of the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, and you can guarantee that other tribes will suffer a lot. confusion.

If someone blames you for this incident in the future, you can say that the camp was attacked, most of the camp was on fire, the sergeant roared, and you and your subordinates were scattered.As for the matter after this, let us solve it, how about it? "

After hearing this, Helian sighed in his heart that Gongsunxu's skill was so big that he wanted to go through his own camp and then attack the camps of other tribes. feeling of fear.

Seeing that He Lian was silent, Gongsun Yuan thought that he was reluctant to part with the supplies and tents that could not be taken away in the big tent, but helplessly, Gongsun Yuan scolded: "Aren't they just rags? That's it for you, okay?"

"What, you pay me." He Lian was stunned for a long time before realizing that Gongsun Yuan was referring to the tents in the camp and supplies that could not be taken away. Originally, he planned to discard these things. Walking will also affect the marching speed.

Fortunately, the Beijiang Army will compensate him, that is to say, the Beijiang Army will help them transport them to the Xianbei Grassland. If there is such a good thing, Helian immediately agreed.

These things are really nothing to the Beijiang Army, but they are also good things in Helian's eyes.He Lian didn't point out the key point. After he discussed with Gongsun Yuan, Gongsun Xu immediately sent someone to bring over [-] cavalry from [-] miles away.

When teams of elite frontline troops passed through Helian's camp, Helian's subordinates lined up and stared at twenty paces away. The soldiers on both sides were originally mortal enemies. Weapons faced weapons, eyes stared beyond eyes, and there was no conflict between the two armies.

In the middle of the camp is the most elite existence in northern Xinjiang. Whether it is soldiers, horses, equipment or other aspects, they are the best in the army in the world, and the two are elite soldiers who have been in the grassland for many years. They formed the most prosperous tribe in Tanshihuai During the period, there were no less than a hundred wars, big and small, and it also witnessed the prosperity and decline of the Tanshihuai family.

Even Gongsun Yuan couldn't help saying to He Lian beside him after seeing the performance of the two armies, "Your Excellency is really amazing to have such elite subordinates."

He Lian shook his head in embarrassment and did not answer, he understood that Gongsun Yuan was flattering him, the truly remarkable ones had already been buried in the soil, and he was just a ready-made one.

At this moment, the other leaders of the Xianbei Army were still discussing how to rectify Helian, but no one realized that the danger had come.
