They are all from the Central Plains. When considering the human settlements within the spheres of influence of Tubo and Huangtou Uihe, they naturally assume that they are settled. In fact, whether it is Tubo or Huangtou Uihe, their so-called spheres of influence are just that they have the same existence here.
ethnic group.
They are all herdsmen and have no habit of settling down. In the settlements in Tubo and Huangtou Uihe, they are basically only settled by tribal leaders who have established regulations.
For those wandering herdsmen, this passage is a place where they do regular transactions. At regular intervals, merchants will always pass by and exchange goods, and the herdsmen will get some useful goods.
There are also times when you can't see a single merchant for a year or two. For herdsmen, this is normal.
At this time of year, it was the time when merchants were expected to pass through. Then some herdsmen approached the edge of the passage...
"Heroes, these are all herdsmen, ignorant herdsmen, they just exchange some goods..."
Wang Shunchen was about to take action, but was stopped by the guide.
Wang Shunchen was worried, what should he do? The guide was very familiar with this scene and always thought that Wang Shunchen was just another group of horse bandits occupying this passage...~Here, the horse bandits and merchants were so stupid that they couldn't tell the difference between the herdsmen.
.
The guide chattered and traded with the herdsmen, turning green salt and iron tools into animal furs, and even unconsciously shared some fine wine with the herdsmen.
Wang Shunchen stared blankly, really unable to make a move!
At this time, Wang Shunchen had to turn himself back into a businessman, and was patted on the shoulder by the stupid herdsmen and laughed. At that moment, Wang Shunchen was about to take out a knife.
The guide hurriedly came over and started chirping again.
"He said we are horse bandits..."
The interpreter translated the guide's words to Wang Shunchen.
"He also told those fools that we need to control this road and let them stock up on supplies. He also said that this passage will not be peaceful in the next two years, and asked them to wait until it stabilizes before coming here. Don't go this way if nothing happens.
Stay close."
Each team of pathfinders brings its own interpreter, a soldier who understands Tubo dialect.
"Still within the Tibetan sphere of influence?"
"It's hard to say. It's also possible that Huangtou Huihe, everyone in this area probably speaks the same language..."
The interpreter is not sure. It is said that they should have passed through the Tibetan sphere of influence. Yesterday, the captain looked at the map and told everyone to cheer up and consider encountering the Huangtou Uighurs.
Wang Shunchen was also confused. He hurriedly avoided people and looked at the map again... The map jointly drawn by Gongfangcheng and Jiangwutang should be correct.
Unable to kill, and having to complete the task of clearing the passage, Wang Shunchen and his team had to spend some time here.
This may be a good thing. The guide talked nonsense with the herdsmen and made it clear that the road had been unstable in the past two years, which also served the purpose of clearing the passage.
Wang Shunchen couldn't think about too complicated problems, so he could only look at it and see what would happen.
As a result, the subsequent situation became even more difficult for Wang Shunchen to handle.
The Shaque guide confronts the Shaque herdsmen because he spread the news that the past two years have not necessarily been peaceful...~
Other tribes that were slowly approaching the passage also sped up their journey, dragging Wang Shunchen and unable to leave.
Dog Day’s Guide!
Wang Shunchen still couldn't bring himself to be cruel! There were hundreds of people there, all of them were idiotic herdsmen, and they would show their teeth and smile at him from time to time. He really couldn't bring himself to kill him.
"Heroes, just for the next few days, when we get the instructors the goods they need, they will disperse."
"Heroes, if you want to make a fortune on this channel, you'd better not kill these herdsmen. Their goods are very cheap and it's easy to make money."
"Every few years, there will be trouble in this passage, and different forces will fight for it. They are all used to it, even their sect masters don't care..."
"Even if it takes a few years, their sect leaders will bring people here to rob these horse bandits. This time the heroes strike first, and those sect leaders will wait for a few years..."
Along the way, the guide watched how Wang Shunchen and others killed people. Those arrogant horse bandits were no match for this group of heroes. They pulled them out four times in a row and killed all of them without leaving a single one.
The guide felt that he had made the right bet this time. As long as he relied on this group of heroes and worked for a few more years, he could live in Baghdad.
From what the guide said, it seemed that he had made a mistake this time? Wang Shunchen could only comfort himself in this way.
There is no other way! Not to mention that I can't do it myself, even the brothers probably don't want to do anything to these idiotic herdsmen.
After a delay of four or five days, we finally hit the road again.
The guide was delighted, but Wang Shunchen looked depressed.
…
Zhe Xing and his team could only capture two bandits on horseback. Although we knew from the information left by Wang Shunchen that they could not compete with the first team and should be luckier than the following three teams.
He also did the same thing as Wang Shunchen, leaving a large part of the supplies to the rear team, and they also had spare horses to ride on.
Zhe Keke has been communicating with the guide these days because he found that although the general direction map given by the official can also pass through, the guide's understanding of this passage is not comparable to the direction map.
The guide consciously believed that Wang Shunchen and his team wanted to occupy this passage, but Zhe Keke actually told the guide personally that they wanted to make a fortune in this passage, and even exaggeratedly told the guide that there were two or three warriors like them.
Hundred...~
Zhe Keke pretended to be pulling him in, but he just made the guide faint with his talk.
The two horse-riding bandits that their team killed were all recruited voluntarily by the guide, so they could be regarded as a sign of recognition.
As before, Zhe Keke rode horseback with the guide, and Zhe Keke wanted to empty out all the goods in the guide's belly.
At this time, suddenly a warning came from the scout in front...
All the soldiers immediately entered the state and were ready to attack at any time.
"Caharman, they are not horse bandits or road thieves, they are herdsmen, herdsmen who come to trade on this channel."
The guide was already preparing for battle, so he took a look at the surrounding terrain.
It's a compliment to be beaten, but the guide has completely forgotten what he is supposed to be doing.
Only then did they realize that they had arrived at a place where they were used to gathering herders to trade.
Wang Shunchen was forced to do nothing, but Zhe Keke and the others set a trap for themselves...
Since they want to occupy this road, the herdsmen should be their source of income. Even if they want to kill them, they can't do it at this time.
With a dark face, Zhe Keke began to look for the information left by the previous team...
It turned out that these people were left behind by Wang Shunchen and his team.
Wang Shunchen's goods transaction was almost over, but before these herdsmen had time to disperse, they ran into Zhe Keke and the others again.
Who is lucky?
"Kahaman, the herdsmen said that there is a group of horse bandits ahead, saying that they want to occupy this road, saying that there will be no peace in the past two years..."
"They all traveled hundreds of miles to trade. The gang of horse bandits didn't get the goods from the trade, so they couldn't bear to leave..."
"You handle it!"
Zhe Keke already knew the situation and just let the guide do the work.
Who could have expected this situation? I guess the officials didn’t expect this, right?
