"This...actually..."
"After all, we don't have much preparation. It's not easy to come up with this food and grass in a short period of time."
"We still need to arrange the remaining parts from other aspects. If this happens, the food and grass in our own tribe will also be a bit troublesome."
"This time we just want to come over to discuss cooperation with you as soon as possible, so we will bring this part directly."
The leading messenger said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao and Fu Mingli looked at each other.
Listening to what this messenger said, I was even more certain of the news brought back by Zhao Gao and the others.
And the average tribe would not send so many things at once.
"So that's it."
"Of course I understand that, but the war cannot be delayed. So we will send some troops here first, and then your food and grass will be sent over at any time."
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"sure no problem."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir!"
"And I have already made an agreement with our leader about the debt you mentioned last time. There is no problem with the money."
"But in terms of time, it might be a little shorter."
The messenger said to Zhang Bao.
"no problem!"
"As long as the money comes, anything can be said."
"However, your leader promised to lend us one hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Zhang Bao said quickly.
This is just a joke. This Chi Na actually plans to borrow money?
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
The previous borrowing of gold from this prairie tribe was firstly to expose the illusion that their treasury in Daxia was empty, and secondly, it was to make some money. If this could be done, it would be a windfall.
This one hundred thousand taels of gold is an astronomical amount of money for anyone.
But what Zhang Bao couldn't figure out was that Chi Na actually agreed. Isn't he afraid that after taking the money, he wouldn't give it to him?
It's really flattering to believe in myself so much.
"That's natural. Our leader still believes in the integrity of you Daxia people."
The messenger said with a smile on his face.
This incident was also very unexpected for him.
If it really contributed to this debt, then he would have paid it off.
"Integrity?"
"Hoo ho ho, yes!"
"We have always been very honest!"
Zhang Bao grinned.
On one side, Fu Mingli's mouth twitched fiercely. Are these prairie people stupid?
Do you really think that with some kind of cooperation now, the previous hostile relationship between Grassland and Daxia can be completely changed?
Just kidding?
You prairie people have come to our Daxia border to burn, kill, and plunder several times. If you really agree to it, will we ordinary people here in Daxia agree?
Besides, the cooperation that was launched this time was not a very sincere cooperation, but it was just that each of them had their own agendas. Their identities were actually pinned on the two frivolous words of integrity.
It's simply incredible.
This doesn't seem like something a mature leader would do.
Fu Mingli shook his head in confusion.
That night, these envoys from the Kelie tribe were tricked by Zhang Bao into telling almost all the situation of the Kelie tribe.
It was also confirmed from the mouths of these people that the leader was none other than Chi Na from the Klei tribe.
"This is going to be troublesome, and we have to push forward the action."
"If that idiot Chi Na really sends over these one hundred thousand taels of gold, it will be a huge profit. Now is the time when we need money."
Zhang Bao and Fu Mingli were discussing in the big tent.
"Sir, tell me, the people on this grassland don't have mature business transactions like us. Where do they spend their money?"
"Even if we do business with our people in Daxia, most of them involve bartering for things."
"They actually understand the role of gold?"
Fu Mingli asked curiously.
"You are so narrow-minded. Gold itself has a unique charm."
"Who does not like?"
Zhang Bao rolled his eyes.
"But when you mention this, I do know something."
"The Hu people on the grasslands are not only masters of herding, but also proficient in gold panning and gold making. They even know how to use gravity to separate gold from sand."
"They use gold to make various utensils and decorations. Most of the utensils used by the nobles on the grassland are made of gold."
"There are also some brocade robes. There is a luxurious brocade robe on the grassland called the Nashi Lost Robe. Every thread in it is made of gold."
"They need more gold than we imagined."
"And gold is a means of trading. How do you know that they only interact with us?"
"Are there any other countries north of the grassland?"
"Is there any contact between them?"
"We don't know this very well, do we?"
Zhang Bao said to Fu Mingli.
"So that's the case, but how do you know about this kind of thing, sir?"
Fu Mingli was a little surprised.
As the state shepherd of Liaozhou, he often dealt with barbarians in Liaozhou. Even he was not very clear about these things. How come Zhang Bao knew so clearly?
"Lao Hu told me."
"How long have we been together?"
"We often brag together when we drink too much."
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"Oh oh oh, I forgot about this. No wonder you are so confident in attacking the grassland this time."
Fu Mingli said.
"Forget it, my attack on the grassland this time really has nothing to do with them."
"You said you are also a state shepherd. It is really inappropriate for you to make such a fuss over such a trivial matter."
"The older this person is, shouldn't he be more calm?"
Zhang Bao glanced at Fu Mingli, thinking about the time when he first met Fu Mingli. At that time, although Fu Mingli, the state pastor, was tortured by him, he still had the airs of a state pastor at the very least.
It was good to meet him this time. He was babbling like a person who had never seen the world before, leaving Zhang Bao speechless.
"You blame me?"
"You actually blame me?"
"Come on, come on, take a look for yourself. The thing that can fly is brought by you, right? The one that can explode is brought by you, right? Now you have made such a moving thing. Now you blame me for not seeing it. world?"
"Normal people behave this way, okay?"
Fu Mingli rolled his eyes and said.
After this contact with Zhang Bao, he completely changed his understanding of the army and his understanding of fighting methods, all of which he had never been exposed to before.
It was also hard for him to imagine what the situation would be like after these methods were used.
