Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 93 A Deal

morning three days later
A caravan from Bingzhou entered the Shuofang Grassland and easily found the people of the Huyan tribe.

The construction of the Huyan tribe cannot be regarded as a yurt, but the shape of this tent is quite different from the camp of the Han Dynasty army.

Near the gathering place of the Huyan tribe is a simple wooden fence.

After all, there are not only grasslands in the north, there are also many mountains and rivers, but there are not many trees.

A member of the Huyan tribe ran up to the patriarch and said in the Hun language: "Patriarch, merchants from Bingzhou came to visit the patriarch. They have a good relationship with the Xianbei tribe and have a good reputation."

"The Chinese name of this merchant is Liu Jie. If he is here this time to discuss important matters with you, do you want him to come in?"

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe had just woken up.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he heard the clansmen reporting to him.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! They slaughtered and captured five hundred of our warriors. What Han people do you see? Go out and kill that merchant!"

The Huyan tribe under King Zuoguli suffered heavy losses, so they bid farewell to King Zuoguli and returned to the tribe first.

King Zuoguli didn't leave these warriors of the Huyan tribe behind either. He knew that these guys had lost a lot and had to recuperate.

Therefore, the chief of the Huyan tribe already knew the loss of his tribe in the previous few days of fighting.

The member of the Huyan tribe hesitated for a second, and then said: "My lord, this person represents the person who controls a large area of ​​the Han people's land. The master behind him seems to be called Han Wu."

When the patriarch of the Huyan tribe heard the name Han Wu, he was shocked.

His own people didn't know about Han Wu, but the chief of the Huyan tribe did, and he also knew that he was in Jiuyuan County.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe gritted his teeth and said, "Let that merchant come in. Then let all the warriors come over and act according to my wink."

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe walked into his big tent for receiving guests.

It's neat and tidy inside, suitable for receiving guests.

Even if he doesn't like the Han people, the chief of the Huyan tribe must show his tribal atmosphere and luxurious decoration.

Liu Jie was taken to the reception tent. He glanced at the warriors of the Huyan tribe standing on both sides, and then smiled.

This kind of behavior of threatening himself with force has long been commonplace. Liu Jie has been traveling between the grassland tribes and the territory of the Han people for so long, so he is naturally used to it.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe sat on the ox bone seat and said to Liu Jie: "Han people, I know you, you are a person who has done business with Xianbei."

Although the head of the Huyan tribe could speak a little Chinese, he spoke the Hun language directly.

He knew that Liu Jie could understand the Huns, so it was more convenient to communicate in the Huns.

Liu Jie smiled slightly, and also replied in the Hun language: "The patriarch really has a pair of insightful eyes, and even such a small person as me is known by the patriarch."

"However, this time, I, a small person, come here on behalf of a big person from the Han Dynasty, and the patriarch will definitely be willing to trade with me."

Liu Jie is neither humble nor overbearing.

He already knew that if he was too polite with these Huns and barbarians, he would be bullied instead.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe snorted coldly, he understood that Liu Jie represented Han Wu, the governor of Bingzhou who was Han.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe didn't like to beat around the bush and asked, "Tell me, what does your master want to trade with me? Is it to return the warriors of our Huyan tribe?"

The real topic was directly asked. The patriarch of the Huyan tribe is not a fool, otherwise he would not be able to be the patriarch.

Liu Jie likes to deal with these Huns. They are more straightforward than Xianbei people, and they are easy to be manipulated.

Liu Jie smiled slightly and said, "Lord Patriarch, our Lord Inspector wants to make a bet with you."

"We want you to exchange three sheep for one captive, or one cow for two captives. If you agree, then the business will be completed."

Liu Jie didn't beat around the bush at all, he just said what Mr. Han Wu asked him to tell the Huyan Tribe.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe instantly patted the armrest of the seat and stood up. He was furious, obviously angry at Liu Jie's lion.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe roared: "What a joke! How many people can be fed by three sheep and one cow, don't you know?"

"Use these talents to exchange for a warrior, you are blackmailing! Come here, let me kick him out!"

After hearing the words of the patriarch, the warriors of the Huyan tribe immediately prepared to attack.

But Liu Jie smiled, appearing more calm and natural.

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe immediately calmed down after seeing Liu Jie's smile, and immediately stopped the warriors under his command.

"Stop it all! Merchant Liu Jie, you can still keep smiling, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

When Liu Jie heard the threat from the chief of the Huyan tribe, he was not afraid at all, because he was used to it.

Liu Jie replied: "Master Patriarch, I know that you just lost your sense of propriety just because of a moment of anger. I think you should remember what I said earlier was a bet."

"I haven't said this bet yet, so you are aware of this, so you hurriedly stopped your warriors from driving me away. And this bet, I will tell you right away."

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe was startled. He was really furious just now, but he didn't think about the bet.

Liu Jie just used this language to trick the chief of the Huyan tribe to make him calmer.

Liu Jie continued: "For the Huyan tribe, these cattle and sheep are indeed too many. However, the patriarch can ask King Zuoguli for help."

"The Huyan tribe is loyal to King Zuoguli, and he will definitely be willing to subsidize your cattle and sheep. After all, to the nobles of the Xiongnu, a thousand fat sheep are nothing at all."

"So, I want to make a bet with you, is King Zuoguli willing to trade and bring back prisoners for the Huyan tribe?"

After hearing Liu Jie's words, the chief of the Huyan tribe nodded slightly, and he agreed with Liu Jie's words.

The Xiongnu were originally nomadic people, and on average, almost one sheep could be grazed for every ten people.

King Zuoguli controlled one-fifth of the population of the Xiongnu, and there were more than 40 people, including [-] to [-] fat sheep.

From the 1000 to [-] fat sheep, more than [-] fat sheep were rewarded to the Huyan tribe. The head of the Huyan tribe thought this was really nothing.

After all, the Huyan tribe has made great contributions and has not been rewarded yet.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the chief of the Huyan tribe said, "Well! Then tell me how many warriors you have captured from the Huyan tribe."

Liu Jie checked his words and saw that the chief of the Huyan tribe was only slightly hesitant, so he replied with a slight smile, "280 people."

The chief of the Huyan tribe nodded, he thought this number was not too much.

After all, there were only more than 1000 warriors of the Huyan tribe originally under the command of King Zuoguli.

"Okay! If that's the case, then you go back and tell your master that the Huyan tribe is willing to exchange the prisoners."

"Besides, there is no need to bet! King Zuoguli has clear rewards and punishments, and he will definitely exchange the prisoners for us!"

"However, our Huyan tribe is a horse-breeding people. We need to ask King Zuoguli for fat sheep and cattle. I need time, so you go back first."

The patriarch of the Huyan tribe waved Liu Jie to leave first, and he had to think about it again.

Seeing that the chief of the Huyan tribe was still hesitating, Liu Jie walked out of the tent without saying a word.

Liu Jie believed in the reputation he had established among the grassland aliens over the years in business, and the chief of the Huyan tribe had no reason not to trust him.
