"Hey! I have long said that there was something fishy about the divine punishment we encountered when we reached the Weihe River! But no one believed it! And the tribes and horse bandits that suddenly disappeared on the grassland in the past two years, aren't these all? Is it the work of Tang people?"
Several leaders were silent together, and some of them were indignant and brought up old stories.
Three years ago, they followed the Great Khan to the outside of the capital of the Tang Dynasty. How powerful and domineering was that? But later, I was frightened back by something similar!
hateful! The great wizard at the time was still lobbying the Khan: It was the gods of the Tang people who were protecting their capital! Not easy to invade!
Now think about it, wasn't it the great wizard who was greedy for life and afraid that the thing would blow him up, so he deliberately made up the lie!
"Bah! What's the use of talking about this now! Do you show that you are capable?" Qi Jin was upset. When he heard this man's complaint, his face turned even darker. He pointed at this man and started yelling and scolding him!
"I, why don't I just talk about it!"
The leader was scolded by Qi Jin in front of so many people, and his face almost turned purple. But he also knew that in terms of strength, among these people, only the tribe of Pu Gu could be compared with Qi Jin! There is still a big gap between me and the two of them, so even if I am not angry, I can only shut up and dare not say anything.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
Just when he was about to fall into silence again, suddenly, Pu Gu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and stared at the person who had just spoken.
The man was frightened by Pu Gu and stuttered: "I said we attacked the capital of the Tang Dynasty. What happened?"
"That's not what you said!" Pu Gu shouted, still staring at him!
The man's eyes were confused, and he tried to recall, and then said: "Are those... the tribe and horse bandits that suddenly disappeared?"
"Yes! That's it!"
Hearing this sentence, Pu Gu seemed to have discovered the mysterious key to the key to the problem! He slapped his thigh hard, jumped up from the ground, and circled back and forth behind several people.
"He, what happened to him? He was stimulated and went crazy?" The person who spoke was stunned when he saw that the servant's bones were like a donkey. He thought that this guy was crazy.
"Shut up!"
Next to him, Qi Jin roared again, then stood up under his aggrieved gaze and asked Pu Gu: "Have you thought of any solution?"
Pu Gu suddenly stopped and his eyes flashed: "There is no way at the moment, but I thought of something!"
"What's going on?" Several other people were shocked and asked quickly.
Servant turned around, looked at the location of the battlefield, and said solemnly: "Do you still remember how those tribes and horse bandits disappeared?"
"Because they robbed a caravan protected by the gods!" It was obvious that a leader had paid attention to this matter, so he answered quickly.
"That's right! What they robbed was the Xiao family's caravan!" Pu Gu nodded and said through gritted teeth!
In the past two years, the most popular and fastest-growing caravan on the grassland has to be the Xiao family caravan!
The goods are cheap and come in a wide variety, as well as tea bricks, spirits and other Turkic people’s favorite products!
And because of various legends, even the most ferocious Turkic tribes on the grassland are unwilling to offend them, which makes their footsteps spread almost all over the grassland! In just a few years, they became the largest merchants on the grassland! Many tribes have dealt with them, and the people here are no exception!
"What does the Xiao family caravan you are talking about have to do with this time?" Someone beside him was wondering. He didn't understand why he suddenly turned to a caravan when he was talking about Tang people's weapons!
But Pu Gu sneered and said word by word: "Just now, did any of you see those people's flags clearly?!"
"Flag?" Qi Jin was startled. He thought about it carefully, and then his eyes suddenly widened!
During the charge, weren't the Chinese characters on the blood-red flag on the opposite side exactly the same as those on the Xiao family caravan? !
"They, they are a group of people! Those caravans also have the same weapons!" Finally, these people also thought of this key point and couldn't help but scream!
No wonder those tribes that disappeared in the past would leave large mottled pits!
No wonder these Tang people are so familiar with them!
It turns out that the root is here!
"Yes!" Pu Gu clenched his fists and said bitterly: "The Xiao family caravan has been running around in the grassland in the past two years, taking the roads that other caravans are not willing to take, and going to tribes that other caravans are not willing to go to. They go! Even in winter, they will risk their lives to do business on the grassland!
At first we thought they were true friends because of their bold nature! Now it seems that they are clearly using the name of the merchant to collect our information in private and draw a map of the grassland!
The two tribes of Red Wolf and Linghu that were slaughtered were obviously not the closest to their Shuofang City, but they chose these two tribes to attack. This was not accidental, but premeditated! "
"ah!"
Before Pu Gu could even finish his words, the faces of the others had already changed color! Some of them turned pale and shouted in surprise!
They all know the Xiao family caravan, and many of them have invited them to trade within the tribe before!
Now it seems, where is this invitation transaction? It was clear that he was inviting the God of Death to come to his house to check on the environment, and he was extremely polite!
"What should we do, what should we do! Winter is coming soon, and they know exactly where we spend the winter! We don't want to be like those tribes! We may be slaughtered one day!"
Some people thought of something even more terrifying, and looked extremely frightened!
You know, although the Turks are nomadic people, they are nomadic in spring and summer when the water and grass are abundant! In autumn and winter, they must go to a special place, that place is called Sheep Plate!
Sheeppan is not a place name, but a place that is sheltered from the wind and snow!
The reason why it is called "Sheep Plate" is because the Turks would collect cow dung, horse dung, hay and other things on weekdays and transport them here.
When winter comes, they migrate here, and the cattle and sheep that spend the winter will lie on these things to keep warm, so as not to lie directly on the ground, lose the heat too quickly, and freeze to death!
At this time, if you look at it from a distance, you will see cattle and sheep coiled into a disk, hence the name sheep disk.
Sheep plate is very important to Turks!
Some ancient Turkic tribes would even manage a sheep plate for decades or even hundreds of years!
If they don't have sheep plates, the cattle and sheep will die because they can't survive the harsh winter!
And people will also be frozen into popsicles because there is not enough fuel provided by the sheep plate!
So I want to rely on migration to avoid those Tang people who have the Xiao family caravan to guide them! This is absolutely impossible!
