The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Did something happen?" Wang Zifa asked.

"I don't know either." Shopkeeper Chen shook his head.

Due to trade reasons, the tribes in the North had been moving south. If Chen Deng hadn't stopped them, they would have entered Pingzhou to survive.

But the news that Wang Zifa got was that more and more tribes moved south, which was not what the businessman said at all.

Wang Zifa raised his doubts.

"Oh, it's like this. Now there are two forces in the north, one is Goguryeo, and the other is Xianbei people. The ones who trade with us are the remnants of the Wuhuan tribe and some small and medium tribes of Xianbei. They suddenly disappeared. Naturally, there will be no trade. If you want to do business, you can only go to countries such as Korea, Baekje, and Samhan.”

Hearing this answer, Wang Zifa fell into deep thought, why is it like standing in line?

One side is desperately heading south, the other is desperately heading north, and there is no man's land in the middle.

Wang Zifa sensed the unusualness and reported it to Chen Deng.

"Prepare the horse, let's go to the tribe outside Xuantu County to find out."

Chen Deng made a quick decision.

"Yuanlong, you are busy with business, why don't you let me go." Wang Zifa said.

"Things are unclear, and I'm not in the mood to deal with official business." Chen Deng said helplessly.

Trade is the lifeblood of Pingzhou, and there can be no problems at all.

If Chen Deng wants to govern Pingzhou well, he must bring a better life to the people of Pingzhou.

Reclaiming wasteland and farming is not enough, only trade can support it.

So Chen Deng and Wang Zifa took their personal guards and galloped to Xuantu County.

Along the way, I met many disappointed businessmen who sighed.Their transportation costs are not low, but no one buys them when they arrive in the Northland, so they can only be sold to Korea and Baekje at a lower price.

Koryo and Baekje have established a system in the years of trade, and the prices have tended to be stable. There are also many merchants in Yangzhou, and their competitiveness is strong. Only the nomads in the North will charge higher prices.

It's a pity that these fools actually moved the tribe.

Of course, in order to prevent the enemy from becoming an enemy, Chen Deng strictly controlled the trade in the Northland, and the goods were all concentrated in luxury goods, tea, porcelain, etc., and all iron wares were prohibited.

Chen Deng collected intelligence along the way, and the message of war became stronger and stronger.

"This is not a good thing." Wang Zifa sighed.

"This is just our guess." Chen Deng was still thinking about luck.

It wasn't until he left Xuantu County and found some Xianbei tribes that Chen Deng learned part of the truth.

Xianbei people and Wuhuan people are fighting!

From the end of the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan and Xianbei were jointly known as Donghu.They are from the same branch, both evolved from Donghu.

Now that they are actually fighting, will it affect Pingzhou?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Dereliction of duty! Dereliction of duty!"

"Wuhuan and Xianbei are fighting. We only got the news now. I, the governor of Pingzhou, are really confused."

Chen Deng blamed himself a little and was very emotional.

Wang Zifa was a little puzzled, and said, "Yuanlong, what does it have to do with us if they bite dogs?"

Wuhuan and Xianbei are both alien races, and their fight is great news for the big man.

The harder they fight the better.

"Zifa, the advantage of being a fisherman does not exist. Even if it exists, it is only temporary. If Wuhuan and Xianbei are defeated too thoroughly, there will be an overlord in the north, which will be a great threat to Pingzhou and Youzhou."

"The most frightening thing is that we don't have any intelligence, and we don't even know how far they have hit. Isn't this dereliction of duty?"

Seeing Chen Deng's loyalty, Wang Zifa felt relieved.

"It's not too late, it's not too late! As soon as the businessman made a change, Yuanlong noticed it. The battle must be within a month."

"A lot can happen in a month."

All Chen Deng could do was to mend the situation, return to Xuantu County, and send out all the scouts to investigate the news of the Northland.

These scouts are not lacking of Wuhuan people, who are familiar with the road.

Then Chen Deng received news from Youzhou, and the letter came from Lu Xun, the governor of Youzhou.

Lu Xun can be called the youngest governor. At the beginning, he recommended himself and stayed in Youzhou to serve.

Chen Deng is also a young man, but Pingzhou is different from a big state like Youzhou.

Youzhou is one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, with a high gold content.

Compared with Youzhou, Pingzhou is more like a rural place in the Northland.

The two states are in competition.

The merchant has two choices, because there are two trade points, one is Youzhou and the other is Pingzhou.

In the past two years, Chen Deng and Lu Xun have also met several times, and the two discussed border issues and tax issues many times.
