"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 who suddenly disappeared on the grassland in the past two years, isn't this?
Are they all made by people from the Tang Dynasty?"
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 they were? But later, they were frightened back by similar things!
Hateful! The great wizard at that time still lobbied in front of the Khan: It was the gods of the Tang people who were protecting their capital! It should not be invaded!
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 reprimanded 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 servant tribe could be compared with Qi Jin! He himself
There is still a big gap between 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, Fu 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 the case!" Pu Gu shouted, still staring at him!
The man's eyes were confused, and he tried to recall, and then said: "Those are... the tribe and horse bandits that suddenly disappeared?"
"Yes! That's it!"
After hearing these words, 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 around 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!"
Qi Jin, who was next to him, 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 happened?" Several other people were shocked and asked quickly.
Pu Gu 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 were unwilling to offend them, which made their footsteps spread almost all over the prairie! In just a few years, they became the largest group on the grassland.
Traders! Many tribes have dealt with them, and the people here are naturally 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 lies 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. They took the roads that other caravans didn't want to take, and they took the tribes that other caravans didn't want 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 bold and bold by nature and were true friends! Now it seems that they are clearly using the name of the merchants to collect information from us 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 is not an accident, but a premeditated plan!"
"ah!"
Before Pu Gu could even finish his words, the faces of the others had already changed color! Some of them even turned pale and screamed 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 that this is not an invitation transaction? It is clearly inviting the God of Death to come to the house to check the environment, and it is extremely polite!
"What should we do, what should we do! Winter is coming soon, and they know all about our wintering places! We don't want to be like those tribes! We will 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 manage a sheep farm 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 you want to rely on migration to avoid those Tang people who are guided by the Xiao family caravan! This is absolutely impossible!
