The last three kingdoms

Chapter 793 Mixing in
The nearest county to Yeli Mountain is Nie County. For the Shu army, which does not have any source of logistical supplies, if they want to survive in Shangdang, they have to live on the enemy and grab food, grass and supplies from the tigers of the barbarians. In the poor mountains and remote areas, the supplies available are limited, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the [-] army. Although Liu Yin still has about three months of food and grass in his hands, he will eat less. Looting as much material as possible and attacking the county town occupied by the Hu people is the most ideal way.

When he first joined the Shangdang, the Shu army knew nothing about the local situation. Liu Yin urgently needed to find out how many Hu soldiers were guarding Nie County and how the defense situation was.Only by knowing the situation of the Hu people in Nie County can Liu Yin take targeted actions. Liu Yuan's army is behind him and may chase him at any time. If it is won, Liu Yin would rather walk around the city than take the risk of attacking.

Therefore, the task of exploring the way fell on A Jian's head. At the critical moment, only A Jian was the person Liu Yin trusted most.

A Jian didn't say a word, and immediately brought a few Qiang people under him, pretending to be Hu people. In fact, there was no need to disguise. , and those Qiang Hu are generally no different.

Leaving Yeli Mountain, walking on the mountain road for tens of miles, you can see the county town of Nie County. The small county town in the valley is very small, and there are few people coming and going. There are not many people in the empty city gate. film.

A Jian and the others disguised themselves as merchants and swaggered towards the gate of the city.

The defenders of the city were obviously not the Huns, with brown hair, blue eyes and a high nose bridge, they should be Jie people.Now that the Jie people are attached to the Huns, the Jie soldiers looked at A Jian and the others dressed as Huns, so naturally they did not dare to neglect, nodded and bowed their heads and said: "Masters, where are you coming from, where are you going?"

A Jian originally only knew the Qiang language, but after arriving in Guanzhong, he also learned to speak the Xiongnu dialect for the mission. At this moment, when the Jie soldiers asked him in the Xiongnu dialect, A Jian said in a calm manner: "We will fight against Jin Coming from Yang, going to Shangdang, there is a shortage of food on the way, and I want to buy some in an expensive place, I wonder if it will be convenient?" As he spoke, Ah Jian took out a piece of gold.

The Jie soldier's eyes lit up immediately, and he thought that the Huns were generous, and he said with a smile on his face: "Now in the time of spring famine, there is a shortage of food, and it is not easy to buy food in a small place in Niecheng, but there is a lot of mutton." , I wonder if the adults would like it?"

A Jian thought that although these Hu people have been in the Central Plains for a long time, their living habits have not changed much. They are also half-cultivating and half-grazing. Shangdang is mountainous and poor, and the food production is limited. It is normal for the Jie people to herd cattle and sheep. However, what's more, he came to Nirvana City only to inquire about news, and buying food was just a cover. At that time, he nodded noncommittally and said: "If there is mutton, it is very good."

The Jie soldier immediately courteously said: "I know that there is a good mutton shop in the city, adults please follow me." He led the way in front and led Ah Jian and others to look into the city.

When he arrived in the city, there were more and more people coming and going. A Jian looked at him coldly. In this Nirvana city, there were not a few guards, all armed with guns and bows, patrolling back and forth, and the guards were heavily guarded.

Ah Jian deliberately asked the Jie soldier: "Seeing that the army in this city is quite noisy, don't you want to fight?"

The Jie soldier said: "Isn't it? I heard that the Shu people have come to Jinyang. The King of Zhao has ordered that all cities strengthen their guard and not relax, so as to prevent the Shu people from coming to take advantage of the loopholes. Hey, my lords are not from Jinyang." How is the battle over there?"

A Jian chuckled and said: "Wars are about the army, not about our merchants, but there is indeed a huge formation in Jinyang, with tens of thousands of people facing each other there. If there is a fight, it must be Earth-shattering."

Jie Bing stuck out his tongue and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people, there are only three to four thousand people in our Nirvana City, if we really want to fight here, I'm afraid even Nirvana City will be turned into loess."

"Three or 4000 people? Didn't you say that Shangdang's Jie soldiers are said to be 4000, so how come there are only three or [-] people guarding the city?" A Jian deliberately set his words.

Jie Bing laughed and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know. Although there are many Jie soldiers, most of us went to Hanoi to fight with King Zhao. It was in the territory of Shangdang. King Zhao gave us Jie people more than ten counties. There are 5000 people to defend the city, which is a lot of people."

After Liu Yuan occupied Shangdang, he still generously gave more than a dozen counties in Shangdang to the Jie people as territories. As the vassals of the Huns, the Jie people were also willing to be driven by the Huns.

Talking and walking, they soon came to the front of a big house, and the Jie soldier said to Ah Jian: "This is the house of our leader Ge Likun. It has the best mutton in the city. My lords, please come inside."

Ah Jian couldn't help feeling puzzled. Looking at the house, it was clearly the mansion of a rich family. It is estimated that before the Hu people conquered the county, the owner of this house should be the richest person in Nie County, but even if it is the head of a Jie man If people occupy this place, they will not use it as a sheepfold.

"Are you sure there is really mutton for sale?"

The Jie soldier said with a smile on his face: "You little one dares to lie to your lord, the mansion of the head of Gelikun has the best mutton in the whole city, it is white and tender, your lord will be satisfied after seeing it."

While talking, a man came out from the mansion. He was full of fat and belly, looked down arrogantly, and said lazily: "What's the noise?"

The Jie soldier bent down and said: "Head Gelikun, there are a few Xiongnu adults from Jinyang here who want to buy mutton, so I brought them to your house."

Gelikun saw Ajian and the others. Although he said that the Jie people were only vassals of the Huns, Gelikun was also a leader after all. He needed a moment of flattery for the high officials of the Huns. I care, but my attitude is not as arrogant as before.

"If you want to buy mutton, you have come to the right place. My Grikun's mutton is the first in the whole Shangdang. You can choose it yourself, and we have our own butcher to slaughter it for you. We guarantee your satisfaction." Grikun He looked like a shrewd businessman at first glance. When he talked about his own mutton, he was spitting and full of spirits.

A Jian didn't bother to pay attention, but since he was at the door, it didn't hurt to buy some mutton, so he asked casually, "Then how much is one of your sheep?"

Grikun chuckled, and said, "The price depends on the quality. The cheap ones cost three to five hundred yuan apiece. If the expensive ones, one hundred and eighty thousand yuan is common."
