Finally, Aruka persuaded the leader of the tribe.

Trading with the south is a normal thing for the grassland.

Although this is all done in private.

In the past, as long as large groups of nomads did not appear, and dozens of ordinary people appeared, the Qin army at the Great Wall could only come out to drive them away.

If you bring cattle and sheep, there will be a tacit understanding there to send people out to negotiate, and after negotiating the price, the transaction will be done directly on the spot.

It's impossible to eat them all. What you raise yourself is simply not enough to eat.

If you only have enough food for a year or two, how can you have so much time to graze?

So the deal is the most cost-effective.

Because the leader was persuaded, the trading activities this time naturally escalated.

Aruka took the lead, leading more than 200 young men from the tribe, riding nearly a thousand horses, and driving thousands of cattle and sheep to the south for trading.

It is precisely because of the shortage of essential supplies needed for life that it is unrealistic to prevent tribes near the border from trading with the Han people.

Therefore, the Luantang family directly issued an order this time not to allow a single horse to stray into the Han Kingdom, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Obviously, Mr. Luantang also acquiesced to this kind of transaction, but only gave a condition. As long as this condition is not touched, there will be no big problem.

What's more, Aluka also used it as an excuse to spy on military intelligence?

Although this time is a bit late, if you go faster, you can still make it back within half a month.

We can almost come back before the coldest.

Before Aruka left, he also taught the tribe how to build a shed.

After all, this is a job with no technical difficulty.

Eight days later, Aruka and his party arrived at the Border Great Wall in Yunzhong County.

The Great Wall has not been completed, but this section of the Great Wall has been repaired long ago.

After all, in Qin Shihuang's presupposition, Yunzhong County was one of the main troop dispatching points for the Qin Army, and it was also the easiest place for nomadic people to move south, so all aspects of matters were resolved first.

Standing under the Great Wall at the Border Gate, Aluka couldn't help but feel excited.

Two years later, I finally returned to the place where I left my homeland.

Although I don’t know how long I will stay on the grassland.

At this moment, Aluka couldn't help but think of what the governor told them before leaving seclusion.

Or to be more precise, the governor told them what the king wanted to tell them.

"Although no one can see your contribution, Gu knows that Han Guo knows that this trip is out of the fortress, life and death are unknown, and the future is unknown. Gu will take good care of your parents, wives and children. No matter what you do on the grassland in the future

It is decided that I will not blame you, let alone anger your family. I will set up a longevity plaque for each of you in Luoyang, and wait until fifty years later to announce it to the public and tell the world that the Han Dynasty

The stability and peace that have existed for so many years is because you are out there carrying the burden for them..."

Will Luoyang's longevity card be leaked and will it be known to the Huns?

None of this is important. They used false names before leaving the customs, and they took on the grassland name again when they arrived in the grassland. Even if they were holding their own longevity tablets, the Huns would not know that the person on the tablet was them.

"Aluka, let me and you go over and communicate with them!" The team stopped, and the leader's son Muren came out on horseback and said.

There are trading rules, and they must be communicated in advance, otherwise what awaits them will definitely be a rain of arrows from the Great Wall defenders.

Muren is not the leader's only son, but he is the son he values ​​the most.

The main reason why he was sent here was to have a personal look at Han's deployment.

Aluka nodded and followed Muren towards the Great Wall pass. Muren walked half a step behind Aluka with a wink. Obviously, he did not want to expose his noble identity to avoid attracting attention.

trouble.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The two of them were still dozens of steps away from the Great Wall when they were stopped by the defenders on the Great Wall. Everywhere they looked, there were bows and arrows aimed at them.

"We are here to trade! Trade! Trade!" Aluka responded loudly.

"Wait..." the defenders on the Great Wall replied, and then they could see some heads moving around.

After a while, a gap opened in the city gate, and two Han army officers walked out on foot, but they did not come in front of Aluka and the other two.

He stopped just a few dozen steps away from the city gate, and then shouted to Aluka and the others: "Get off your horse and come over here!"

"Muren, are you going there or should I?" Aluka looked at Muren and asked.

"Go ahead!" Muren shook his head. He didn't understand Chinese. He could only understand a few words and couldn't communicate.

Let Aluka communicate and observe here first.

Aluka nodded, and then said: "Okay, I'll go over and talk to them first to see if we can let the two of us in."

Aruka immediately dismounted, handed the horse to Muren, who also dismounted, and walked slowly over alone.

"What did you bring?" the Han army officer asked.

"Cows, sheep, more than a thousand in total, and what you want!" Aluka replied calmly.

"Then what do you want to exchange for?" the Han army officer then asked.

"Grain, salt, and other things we want!" Aluka continued.

"How much do you want to exchange for?" the Han army officer continued to ask.

"We have two hundred people and one thousand horses, just fill them up. I think this is fair, what do you think?" Aruka said still maturely and solemnly.

"How many horses can we carry?" the Han army officer still asked.

"It's only five stones for carrying, but now it's snowing, we can make some rafts and drag them on the ground. A horse has to carry seven or eight stones, right? You are short of meat, we are short of grain and salt, this

The numbers are fair," Aruka said.

"But I don't think this is fair!" the Han army officer suddenly said.

"We have traded with an officer in black clothes before, and it was at this price." Aruka said still calmly.

"Welcome back!" The Han army officer still had a serious expression on his face, and even his tone did not change much, but his voice was slightly lower.

After such exchanges, they have confirmed the identity of Scout Aluka.

There are many code words here, which can be changed at any time according to any situation.

For example, the person who made the three transactions just now told the Han army his identity as a scout, so the one who came down to meet him was naturally a scout officer.

What you want, what I want, is fairness twice, and an officer in black clothes. The officer who meets you will guide you and give you a chance, and you have to follow this idea and say this.

Only after a complete explanation can the identity be finally confirmed.

The officer in black clothes, who is this person?

There are no fixed people, but those who can wear black clothes in the scout system include Governor Peng Yue, the governors in Luoyang, and the chief and deputy governors in charge of each branch.

"The Luotang clan killed Touman Chanyu a few days ago and established themselves as the Great Chanyu. They are currently undergoing rectification. Touman Chanyu's loyal ministers are being purged. This person must pay attention. After the spring, they will launch an offensive against the Yueshi. Some time ago,

This is to attract the attention of the Han army. The purpose of my coming back this time is to explore the strength of the defense. The Xiongnu does not want us to help the Yueshi. Over there is the son of our tribal leader. If possible, it is best to let us go in and move around.

One circle." Aluka said in rapid succession without any pause.

"Okay, you go first, be careful!" The Han army officer nodded.

Aluka turned back to Muren's side.

"How was the discussion?" Muren asked with concern.

"There is basically no problem. In addition, I told them that if possible, we can trade with them for a long time, but we hope to talk to their general in person. They went back to ask the general. If they agree later, be careful when you go in. Don't

After they saw our purpose, if we could talk about it separately, I offered to load one of our horses with eight stones of grain, but I guess it's unlikely, and besides, the weather might not bring us back," Aluka said simply.

"We can take as much as we can, but I feel like the Han people won't easily agree to let us in, right?" Muren said.

"I don't know, it depends on what their general thinks. If I had known earlier, I should have brought more cattle and sheep. This should have scared them, and even made them think that we have a good impression of them. If we want to get it

Some news would be easier." Aluka said with some regret.

Soon, the two received a notice from the defenders on the city gate tower.

Tie the war horse to the horse at the bottom of the city, and then enter the pass on foot.

And when I walked to the city gate, I was told again to take out all the weapons.

Even to be on the safe side, Han soldiers even searched the two of them, and only after confirming that they were correct did they take them in.

After entering, it is naturally impossible for the two of them to wander around inside.

But it is necessary to reveal some information to them, whether it is true or false, what is said may not be true, and what is seen with one's own eyes may not be true.

So, the two of them were led directly to the city gate tower. The terrain here is the highest and they can basically see everything.

The moment he climbed onto the Great Wall, Muren was immediately stunned.

The top of the Great Wall is very spacious and stable enough for two carriages to drive side by side. There is also a parapet behind which soldiers can hide and fire arrows.

This is Muren’s first time standing on the Great Wall and looking at it from a distance is different from the past.

Standing on it and looking at it, the impact is even more shocking.

And looking around, the interior of the Great Wall is densely packed with neat and orderly houses. It seems that someone is repairing and reinforcing it?

"Aluka, what are they doing?" Muren asked subconsciously.

"We are building a house, but in such a large area and people are so scattered, the situation may not be good..." Aluka also pretended to be surprised.

"Why?"

"A house can accommodate fifty people, and the larger ones can accommodate a hundred. Such a large area, and there are repairs everywhere, means that there are many Han troops coming later. It seems that there must be at least ten
Chapter completed!
