Chapter 92 Turkic Wolf Riding
In the grass market, the disputes between the Hu people and the Han people for buying and selling have never stopped.

Listening to all this, Li Chongjiu sat in the thatched hut beside him, drinking buttermilk peacefully.

Raw sheepskin with intact fur can be worth 150 yuan when transported to the customs, but only eight spoons of Lu salt or three bricks of Shu tea can be exchanged outside the customs.This profit is more than ten times!
Li Chongjiu thought of this when he heard the report from the guy on the side.

Less than a month after the trial operation of the grass market, Li Chongjiu collected no less than three or four hundred furs of the best quality, not counting other furs.The person in charge of the grass market at the side is one of Lin Dangfeng's subordinates. Because the Cantou Army and the bodyguards are all rough, he was seconded by Li Chongjiu from the chamber of commerce.

In the chamber of commerce, shopkeepers, tents, etc. abound, where is it the turn of a young man to come forward.

But after Li Chongjiu came to Mobei, it was different. He could do accounts, he could calculate, and he could read four or five hundred characters. Where can such a person be found in the Cangtou Army.In the eyes of the Han people, his status is extremely lofty. Apart from being in charge of the grass market business for Li Chongjiu on weekdays, he can even read letters for others.

"Boss, now the herdsmen have a lot of demand for Lu salt and tea bricks. I think we can take advantage of this to lower the price." The guy boldly suggested to Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu snorted and asked with a smile: "It's surprising that there are so few things. Why didn't they raise the price instead of lowering the price? This is not just a loss of plain money."

Seeing Li Chongjiu's question, the man said loudly with a showy look: "Young escort, that's the case. First of all, our supply is still sufficient. Our grass market has just opened, and we are not well-known on the grassland. It can be supplied at a low price, leave a good reputation, and open up a reputation on the grassland."

Li Chongjiu nodded approvingly. It is quite insightful for this guy to say such a thing.

In fact, regardless of any era, businessmen are doers in society, and they are also the class most likely to produce elites.Because of this, merchants have been suppressed by those in power with various excuses, and merchants are suppressed at the end with the four ranks of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

"Well, very good, what's your name?" Li Chongjiu asked with a smile.

The clerk was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "The villain's name is Chen Liangxing."

Li Chongjiu thinks that this person is very smart, and he can hand over the matter of the grass market, but he still needs to tap it, saying: "If we suddenly lower the price, how should those herdsmen who bought goods from us before feel? Do you think they The previous deal with us was a big loss."

Chen Liangxing was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "That's true."

Li Chongjiu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Come up with a way, if it is done well, I will appoint you as the steward of Caoshi."

"Thank you, Young Escort." At that moment, Chen Liangxing stepped back with a refreshed look.

Just as Li Chongjiu was busy with business, desolate horns sounded from outside the city.

Li Chongjiu frowned suddenly, the sound of the horn was used as a warning, and it was usually used when unknown forces approached.

At this time, the sound of the horn on the sentry tower in the distance, and the sound of the horn from Xibu on the other side of the lake came over and over again.This Huaihuang town has only been established for less than two months, could it be that there are hostile forces coming to attack.

Li Chongjiu immediately put down what he was doing and ran to the isolated five-story enemy building in the south of the city.Right now, in Huaihuang Town, there is only this enemy building, the only fruit left.

Li Chongjiu stepped up to the enemy building, looked into the distance, and saw the direction of the north, suddenly smoke and dust billowed up, this is the scene of the cavalry marching.

The smoke and dust rolled up by the cavalry was very high, and their whereabouts were erratic, so it was difficult to judge the number at the moment.Without hesitation, Li Chongjiu picked up the horn hanging on the enemy building and blew it.When the people in the city saw it, they were in a state of confusion and entered the city from all sides.As for the people who were grazing and farming in the distance, they even desperately rushed to the city.

Inside and outside the city, dozens of shepherds were chasing their own flocks outside the gate, unable to advance or retreat.

These stupid sheep are usually not very effective at chasing them, and in this critical situation, they even bleat and babble around, blocking the outside of the city and crowding people out.

Li Chongjiu shook his head when he saw it, if so, what if the sheep were still outside the city when the enemy army came.

Li Chongjiu immediately ordered Wang Mahan, who had been hunted and rushed back, the cavalry regiment did not need to enter the city, but the infantry regiment of Tanzong guarding the city directly deployed in the sheep and horse wall.

Tan Zong even ran up to the enemy building and asked Li Chongjiu: "Brother, where did this come from? Han people or Hu people?" Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "I don't know for now."

At this moment, Xi Renfang suddenly came over with more than 50 riders and rushed directly to the city.

Li Chongjiu was wondering where the enemy soldiers came from, but Xi Ren's sudden approach made him more suspicious.

The leader of this group of Xiren cavalry was Shi Deyun, who saw Shi Deyun at the foot of the city, beckoning to the surrounding people with his hands and shouting: "Come into the city quickly, it's the Turkic people who are coming, everyone, come into the city quickly!"

Turks?It is the most powerful Turkic force in the grassland.Li Chongjiu's heart was shocked, and on the enemy tower, he shouted to Shi Deyun: "What are you doing here?"

When Shi Deyun saw Li Chongjiu, he was overjoyed and said, "Brother Li, the Turkic wolf cavalry arrived suddenly. I don't know where they are coming from. Let me remind you to be careful."

Li Chongjiu nodded when he saw it, and Shi Deyun saw the Turkic wolf riding, regardless of his own safety, first came to remind him, which was enough to acknowledge her affection.But the Turkic people, this is not their range of activities, why their wolf riders appear here.

The people in the city heard that they were Turkic people, and they were even more afraid at the moment. Except for the cattle and sheep that had to pass through the city gate, the returnees simply climbed and rolled in through the sheep and horse walls.

Li Chongjiu asked: "Do you know how many Turks have come?"

Shi Dexi said: "I don't know, Brother Li, you just have to be careful, I'll go back and see my mother."

After speaking, the room learned that he whipped the horsewhip and turned back.

As a Turk, Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that although he was based on the grassland, he didn't know much about this great enemy.

After all, he has been away from the campus for too long, and he doesn't remember a lot of knowledge. As for the Turks, he only knows that the other party defeated the Xianbei Rou and then became the overlord of the grassland.The Turks have the blood of the Scythians and the Huns, and at this time they were divided into two parts, the Eastern and Western Turks.

When Li Chongjiu thought about it so carefully, the Turkic cavalry in the distance ran away from the grassland, but their goal was not Huaihuang Town where they were.Just when Li Chongjiu was rejoicing, the Turkic cavalry who had gone away suddenly came back and went directly to Xibu by the lake.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help feeling tense when he saw this, Xibu and Huaihuang Town are already on the verge of death, if the Turks attack Xibu, he can't just sit back and watch.

But Li Chongjiu also knew that his current power was not worth seeing in the eyes of the overlord of the grassland and the Turkic people who controlled hundreds of thousands of strings under him, so when he chose the base area, he also kept far away from the Turkic area, but Unexpectedly, the Turkic people still came to the door.

So at this moment, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel uneasy.

When the Turkic people came close, Li Chongjiu also saw their details clearly.There were no more than 300 Turkic people who came from afar, but each of them brought at least five horses. No wonder they were able to gallop all the way, and just now they rolled up so much smoke and dust.

I saw one of the hundreds of Turkic cavalry holding a golden wolf flag, stopping in front of Xibu's camp.

In the double car camp, there was a commotion among the people of the Xi tribe. Soon after, the gate of the car camp opened, and Amu, who lived in Deyun, and the current female Qijin, led more than a dozen elders in the clan, together He went out and knelt before the Turkic horse.

And a few people who looked like Turkic officials sat high on the horses, and seemed to be asking the people of Xibu something.

All the people in Xi's department, including the female Qijin, were all fearful, kneeling on the ground to listen.
