Chapter 3398 Years
Zhang He opened the passage in Youzhou, and Zhao Yun, who was in the north of the desert, did not immediately follow the passage into Youzhou, but met with several tribe leaders in the desert.
There is order in the desert, but there is no order.
The orderly one is the natural law of the strong prey on the weak. The reason for the lack of order is that the strong people here often take turns to take turns to the banker.
During the entire period of development of the desert, some heroes have appeared, but they often cannot continue the rules, and can only be fleeting like a flash in the pan. This has caused a rare form of order or concept of law in the desert. Taking advantage of the situation and holding the sheep, it is not a big problem in the eyes of the shepherds in the desert. The question is whether the robbery and holding the sheep will be caught.
If you don’t catch it, you’re capable, and if you’re caught, you’re unlucky.
If Zhao Yun wants to attack Youzhou, the main force will inevitably be placed in the Youyan area. At this time, these nomadic Hu people in the desert do not have any tradition of waiting for Zhao Yun and Cao Chun to decide the outcome. They may not have been prepared to take advantage of the situation and take the lead.
Zhao Yun summoned these herdsmen Hu Rentou to meet at the same time, in order to solve this problem.
Obviously, Zhao Yun cannot completely restrain the scattered Hu people, but these Hu leaders can do it. The premise is that these Hu leaders have a certain prestige.
The Han people have never had much understanding of the Hu people, until the emergence of the General of the Cavalry. If it weren't for Fei Qian's potential martial arts lecture hall pointing out the differences between the Hu people and the Han people, it would have been impossible for Zhao Yun to deeply understand the system and military system of these Hu people until now.
The Hu people's management system is very loose and has no necessary inheritance. At the last moment, they may be able to control 100,000 string control men, but at the next moment, they may immediately fall to the ground and have different heads.
This is the complete difference between the Hu people and the Han people.
Whether it is the Huns or the Xianbei, they are all composed of tribes after tribe. Although they are connected to one another to some extent, such as positions such as ten thousand households and thousands of cavalry, the Hu people's subordinates are still loose and still not centralized enough. The Khan's tribes are actually directly under their own tribes, and the rest are from other wise kings. Therefore, Khan either lives guarding against wise kings or is killed by wise kings in the end.
The herdsmen took women and children to fight on horseback, dismounted horses and grazed, and even women and children could hunt. The Hu people did not need to manage herdsmen, manage the army, and did not have the trouble of food, grass and supplies.
This is an advantage that the Han army will never have.
But this is also a disadvantage that the Hu people will never develop civilization.
Scholars who do not divide the work, do not specialize in their expertise, and do not have completely profession will never be able to climb the science and technology tree.
Without the ability to climb technology, we will naturally be unable to fight against the powerful technology and productivity of the Han area...
Therefore, when Gan Feng appeared in front of these Hu people with fully armed armored heavy cavalry, all Hu people seemed to be suddenly pinched to their throats, and even breathing was extremely difficult.
Anyone with a little brain knows that Zhao Yun's move is a demonstration, but what can he do?
The Hu people have no iron, and the Han people have iron.
If it weren't for the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the Hu people would have a harder time catching up with the Han people!
If you step slow, then you step slow!
As long as China does not stop, even if the Hu people have four legs, they will not be able to catch up.
"How?" Zhao Yun pointed at Gan Feng and said with a smile, "You think I, the generals, are you still interested in me?"
Leader Jiankun and Rouran immediately praised Zhao Yun as the divine envoy in the sky, while Gan Feng and others were the divine weapons in the sky...
What?
General Fei Qian of the Cavalry?
That is naturally the god in the sky!
People who brag don’t seem embarrassed, but people who listen to them are a little embarrassed. What’s interesting is that even the qualifications for praise are not available to every Hu leader. For example, the defeated Xianbei and Wuhuan people sit far away and can only be responsible for laughing.
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't praise you so much. I'll call you here today, not for the sake of other people's affairs, just for the peace and stability of the desert..."
Some of the Hu people's leaders changed slightly, and some of them moved their butts uneasily.
Because most of the time, with this slogan of "Anping in the Desert", it is to reduce manpower and hand over livestock.
Zhao Yun looked around and smiled, "Everyone, it's no point to say anything... Come on, present the head!"
The guard Zhao Yun took up three paint square boxes, then opened the lid, and pushed them in front of the leaders of the Hu people.
"Please take a look." Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to signal.
Whether it is Hu or Han people present, they have seen life and death, so naturally they will not feel any fear of the three shriveled heads, and they are all rumored to appear.
The head inside the box has very obvious characteristics.
『Semi-Man!』
"I know, this is a guy from Beimo!"
The hair and pupils are easy to identify.
Pale skin, light-colored hair, and the shriveled shape caused by long-term air drying make these heads unable to say anything beautiful from any angle, leaving only ugliness and cruelty.
"These semen people..." Zhao Yun said slowly, "Specially for people eating. When he found them, in his camp, there were limbs of cooking people, and shepherds hanging on trees with their belly hangings... That's right, it's like you hang cattle and sheep up and dry them...
Following Zhao Yun's description, a Hu leader who was holding a bowl of water was choked and sprayed out the water with a puff, spraying a large piece of the leather robe of another Hu leader next to him.
"These heads..." A Hu man picked up the head and looked at the degree of muscle atrophy and shrivelation of the broken head. "It's been at least half a year..."
Zhao Yun glanced at the man and met him.
Mo He of the Rouran tribe.
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "It was indeed what I won last winter."
"Last winter?" Kyrgyz, the leader of Jiankun, was also staring at the head of the Semen. "Most of the people we met before were red-haired Semen. These white-haired Semen rarely saw them... I heard that some herder tribes were attacked by Semen last winter... Could it be that these Semen?
『There are also differences among people with Seminar.』 Zhao Yun said, 『The enlightened ones know civilization, and those who are not civilized are like wild animals. Such Seminar people are not afraid of the cold and have strong strength, so even if my subordinates are alone one-on-one, they may not be their opponents. After being injured, they will become more and more crazy, as if they don’t know the pain, which is extremely troublesome."
The leaders of Hu people were talking about it.
"In order to capture these semen alive, I have ruined my sons." Zhao Yun said slowly, "These guys are speechless, have a savage and violent temperament, and cannot communicate at all. No one can understand the words they use. He gives this guy ordinary beans and millet food, but he only wants to eat raw and cooked meat..."
The leaders of the Hu people all looked a little bad when they listened.
Zhao Yun looked at it and threw weights on the balance of the Hu leaders' minds. "According to the scouts under my command, these Semen people had actually appeared in the desert a few years ago... The reason why they were not discovered was because the people who found them... Well, yes, they all died and were eaten by them... I believe you have heard of rumors that evil ghosts ate the entire tribe before, or some ferocious beasts attacked a place in the snow... In fact, it was probably what they did."
In an era when information transmission was extremely backward, and in the severe winter of heavy snow, even if some people could escape the evil hands of these semen attacking the tribe, they might not be able to go far in the wind and snow. Even if they had the luck to meet some people from other tribes, they might not be able to tell the matter clearly under strong stimulation.
What's more, in the desert, the tribes may not be harmonious, and languages ​​may not be connected. As for the words...
Chinese is the only standard, popular and practical "foreign language" for the Hu people in the desert today. Most tribal leaders and some tribal nobles all use learning and knowledge of Chinese as a manifestation of their own abilities.
『This winter…』 Zhao Yun looked around, 『Do you think this Semen people... will come? I ate this last year, eat one this year, and eat some next year... If these Semen people eat you, they will be able to survive the severe winter and reproduce, and what about you? How many tribes do you have to give them food?』
The leaders of the Hu people all looked more or less shaking.
The snow is similar every year, and people eat people every year.
The leaders of the Hu people looked at each other. After a while of silence, the leader of Jiankun Kyrgyz asked: "The Protector... I don't know, what do you want?"
Zhao Yun smiled like a Buddha picking a flower, "My lord, as long as the peace in the desert is peaceful, I will naturally be the same."
"Peace……"
The leaders of the Hu people murmured and repeated.
This thing is more expensive than anything else!
Suddenly, the Xianbei leader who was in the lower head sings, said: "Dadu, tell me, we should do whatever we need! We should do whatever we say!"
Zhao Yun pretended not to understand the implicit meaning of the Xianbei leader, and said with a smile: "When the Han Dynasty was founded, Emperor Gaozu entered Guanzhong and made three appointments with his elders. Those who killed people died, injured people and stealing were punished."
Zhao Yun looked around slowly, "Now my master's intention is to make three rules with you and all the tribes in the desert. That is, those who kill people will die, those who hurt people and those who steal theft will be punished. I wonder if you have any opinions?"
What else can I have to say about this?
And no matter from what perspective, these three rules are a good thing.
At least it seems like a good thing.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Zhao Yun pointed to the head of Seminren, "This is the murderer. According to the agreement, he will die! If there is a murderer again this year... What should you do?"
Rouran slapped his hands and 'kill him!'
"Yes! Kill these guys!" Jiankun Kyrgyz also shouted, "You can't let these guys harm our tribes at will!"
All the leaders also shouted angrily.
This is a very simple and very direct answer. There is no second choice. Could it be that these Semen people want to eat people and wash their necks and send them over?
These Hu people are not stupid. If they are timid and dare not express their attitude on this occasion, when others go back, they will say that they will collapse if they are rumored!
This is the desert. It is not the Han people who have any monarchs and ministers, nor does it have a household registration system. If the herdsmen pack their luggage and leave, who can tell who these people are? What is the value of following a leader who cannot even protect his own herdsmen?
So whether it is true or false, these Hu people must express their opinions.
After making a mess, someone said: "It's just... the Great Protector, it's not that I'm timid and afraid of things, but these semen... It's even troublesome to fight the men under the Protector. Those of me... I'm afraid I'll die if I go up..."
Zhao Yun smiled and waved his hand, "Come on, bring the armor!"
Soon, a guard lifted the armor bracket up.
On the bracket, there is a complete set of armor.
That is the set of armor that Gan Feng used before with his men.
A whole set.
From helmet to neck protection, to battle skirts, from top to bottom, a complete set.
"This kind of armor," Zhao Yun said, "It can be sold to you. It is my Lord's support for you."
The desert lacks iron and even more armor.
A set of armor passed down for three generations is really not a false statement.
"Ah? Not for me..."
Among the leaders of the Hu people, a voice blurted out, and after speaking halfway, he continued to whisper.
Zhao Yun smiled, "Is there anything in this world that can be obtained without any effort?"
The Hu people looked at the armor and looked a little greedy.
Although the armor did not clearly indicate the level, everyone present had been on the battle formation and did not need to get started. You could judge it with a glance.
"It's all like this... this kind of armor?" Rouran couldn't help asking, "I mean, the armor sold is the same as this one?"
The distance between the samples and the physical objects has always been a nightmare for trading, whether it is Hu or Han.
"We can't say that they are exactly the same, but they are almost the same." Zhao Yun said rigorously, "After all, armor production requires multiple processes, and it's really impossible to do exactly the same."
"No, no, I don't mean that..." Rouran Mohe quickly explained, "I mean... this... well, that..."
Zhao Yun nodded slightly, "I know that the quality of the armor is definitely the same as this one, and there will be no difference!"
After Zhao Yun said this, everyone's eyes became hot.
"But I don't know... how much does this kind of armor cost?" Kyrgyz asked, "If it's too expensive, we can't afford it if we are not afraid of laughing at the Protector."
『No need to worry.』 Zhao Yun said, 『Our Lord has an order to sign... This, well, the most favorable treaty will give you the biggest discount, and this is also available this winter...』
Zhao Yun pointed to the head of the semen, "Use this to offset the price... For the price, ten heads will be worth one!"
"Ten Semen Heads?!"
『Is this too much?』
"Semi people are not easy to kill!"
『That's it, that's it!』
"Five, no, no, how about eight?"
The chirping sounds sounded.
Zhao Yun waved his hand and his face sank.
Everyone couldn't help but gradually calm down.
"The price of these ten heads of Semen is only available this winter." Zhao Yun's expression eased. "No way, this winter, Semen will not come, or will not come in the future. Then the price will naturally be settled according to normal silver."
The Hu people looked around and fell silent, and began to think about it.
Speaking of which, if you really use the head of Seminren to exchange it, it would be a big deal to kill two birds with one stone. After all, Seminren eats all their herdsmen. Logically speaking, these guys should have been killed, and now you can use the head of Seminren to exchange armor. Wouldn't that be a bonus?
only……
"I dare to ask the Protector, I don't know if the General of the Cavalry did this, it was..." Jiankun's Kyrgyz asked cautiously, "It's just some heads... This, yes, haha...
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Didn't everyone say it just now? My master is for the peace and stability of the desert, and only has such discounts... Of course, I heard that there are gold, silver and gems in the deep desert, in the cold place... Well, this gold and silver theory is just something I heard, I can't do it really...
"oh……"
"Yes, yes, Protector said yes."
The Hu people whispered for a while, but they believed in what Zhao Yun said about gold, silver and gems.
Is this right...
At the end of the meeting, the discussion was almost done. Jiankun Kyrgyz, inspired by several Hu leaders, plucked up his courage and asked: "Major Protector, I want to ask, if we... this Seminar Man is too powerful, can it be? Well, I just ask, can we give us some... more powerful weapons?"
"What weapon? For example?" Zhao Yun asked.
"For example, this, for example...the Five Elements Thunder..."
The last three words were said, that a group of Hu people were quiet and looked at Zhao Yun with a gaze.
Zhao Yun's expression was neither sad nor happy.
This is actually expected.
The Five Elements Thunder, or gunpowder, seems to be a fatal material, but to put it bluntly, this thing is a consumable product and has extremely high requirements for storage conditions. The key is that the Hu people do not have relevant production conditions.
Nowadays, the Cavalry has completely formed a group production in the northern part of Guanzhong. The production process is not only safe but also fast. Not only that, the Huang's gunpowder workshop has even divided the manufacturing of black gunpowder into six processes, crushing, mixing, pounding, granulating, drying, and packaging. At the same time, each process has more detailed requirements and standards for implementing each process.
As long as the raw materials are sufficient, the production volume of this kind of workshop similar to the assembly line starts to operate.
Moreover, since Fei Qian brought out the cannon, he has gradually become dissatisfied with the power of the black gunpowder...
As far as Zhao Yun knows, research on new gunpowder has been carried out in the Northland.
The formula of gunpowder has actually been delivered to Shandong, but the gunpowder made in Shandong has always been much worse, which shows that even if these Hu people got the Five Elements Thunder or Gunpowder formula, they still have a very long way to make qualified gunpowder.
Unless one day, the Han people stopped running and fell to sleep under the tree...
"Well, this matter is...it's not completely hopeless, but I just need to report it to my master first and then make a decision." Zhao Yun didn't say it was no, nor did he say it was OK. "But you know, this Five Elements Thunder... is expensive and easy to break. If you want to change it, you have to think about it..."
『Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder of Protector…』
