184 Invitation letter from the grassland

Cheng Jian, Jianba, and quickly rushed to the valley where they were located to find Pei Yuanshao. This valley was a little far from Xiaobai Village and had been running for almost a day before they arrived. At this time, the horse thieves were packing up their supplies and preparing to evacuate.

Cheng Jian and the others found Pei Yuanshao and told him Xiaobai’s advice.

Pei Yuanshao faced a lot of extra supplies, and how to deal with some headaches. Since Xiaobai wanted it, he was generous and nodded and said, "Okay, these supplies will be sold to Xiaobai at a cheap price. 1 stud of oxen, 500 copper for carriages, 200 copper for sheep, 100 copper for dogs, 200 copper for cloth, 300 copper for silk, 1 stone, 100 copper for grain, 50 copper for wine, 20 copper for earthen pottery, etc. " (1 stone grain, 200 copper for copper, is a relatively cheap price in the Eastern Han Dynasty.)

Jianba roughly counted the total number of items and calculated it. There were 20 oxen, 100 carriages and horses, 20 sheep, 20 dogs, 920 stones of grain, and 20 silk. The rest of the things that are useless are not included. Xiaobai Village can now take out 150 guan to purchase these precious items.

He said: "It's just that the ox is too expensive. I hope the leader Pei can reduce the price. I will buy all the ox, grain, cloth, etc., and buy a few more sheep, carriages, horses, and dogs. How about it? I can't buy any extra items."

Pei Yuanshao knew that unless he found other buyers in a short time, all these items would be discarded, and said, "It's okay to reduce the price. Then let's get half the price of the plowing ox."

Jianba picked up many items, calculated the total price, and converted them into 120 chunks of copper coins to Pei Yuanshao, and paid them in Xiaobai Village.

Pei Yuanshao just sold these stolen goods and got so many copper coins at once. He was very satisfied. 120 jin of copper equals 1 gold and 2 taels of silver.

There are also many sheep, carriages and horses. Xiaobai Village doesn’t have that much money and can’t buy it. Pei Yuanshao can only slaughter and eat it himself, which just saves a lot of food from the horse thieves.

The horse thieves pulled a large amount of food on horse and ox carts. Those who could not load the vehicle on the backs were driven by some beasts and transported them to Xiaobai Village. A deserted valley and a little inconspicuous property left behind. Soon they were swept away by players from the villages near the valley, leaving no residue left behind.

After Jiang Hu and Jiang Ti became the leaders of the township chariots, they were responsible for training the bloody militia in Xiaobai Village.

Although the young heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period, A Fei and others were able to lead militias to upgrade, they were not good at training. The rest of the NPC King Guns, Zhao Wu and others had never brought soldiers and were not suitable for training. Therefore, these two NPC generals from Jiangjia Village shouldered the important task of training militias.

A village chariot militia battalion was built in the village. Every day, Jiang Hu brought the fiercely bloody militia to practice, familiar with the formation, assassination, and fighting. Then he patrols in and outside the village and changed guards with militias who had stood guard all night.

At Jiang Ti's strong request, Zhan Xiaobai agreed to let her form a 10-person NPC female militia, led by Jiang Ti, and under the jurisdiction of Qiu Shui. She is considered Qiu Shui's NPC female guards.

Zhan Xiaobai's guards were the warrior Zhou Meng, and there were also the Fierce Blood Militia No. 1 to 5. They usually stayed in the administrative courtyard and guarded to stand guard. Zhan Xiaobai was with him when he was out and was responsible for security.

The militia guards came to report: "Report, sir! A Qiang man sent a letter, please check it out."

Zhan Xiaobai took it and saw it.

It is a simple invitation letter: I heard about Xiaobai's name for a long time, but I was very sorry that I could not see it at first. Five days later, there will be a grand event in the Xiliang tribes, which will be held in our tribe. I hope that the village chief Xiaobai will attend on time and will definitely be entertained with great enthusiasm. Signature: Beigong Boyu.

"Where is the Qiang people?"

"Sir, after sending the letter, this person has left and headed south."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded. The Beigong tribe was in Qinghai to the west. After the messenger sent the letter, he went south, probably to other villages. It seemed that he would not be the only village chief who received the invitation.

Five days, one day of deducting the letter, which means there will be a grand event for all tribes in four days. Although I don’t know what the Beigong Boyu is doing, I will definitely go there if I go there.

The Qiang people have great value in utilization. Horses, wealth, and military sources must eventually be obtained from the Qiang people to achieve their own expansion goals.

"I notify all the officials in the village, the commander of the army, and the backbone members that I want to arrange some village affairs and then go to the grassland to be a guest."

"yes!"

......

On the Qinghai grassland, a large Qiang tribe. Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and several Qiang and Hu chiefs from other tribes are discussing matters.

"The opportunity for my tribes to form a Qiang tribe alliance is ripe. A total of dozens of large tribes have replied to join. This grand event will surely gather the power of our Qiang people. Even Zhang Jiao, a great wise and wise teacher, sent someone to send a letter to join me. I think the rest of the tribes on the grassland that are still watching will be quickly convinced by our strength."

Beigong Boyu kept a letter and took it out for everyone to admire. While looking at everyone's expressions.

The chiefs of the Qiang Hu took it respectfully, looked at each other, whispered, and looked at Beigong Boyu, and they couldn't help but feel a little more awe. Even Li Wenhou was no exception. Among the Qiang tribes, he and Beigong tribe were the most powerful and were also the natural candidate for the leader. However, Beigong Boyu's prestige and Zhang Jiao's alliance secret letter, I'm afraid that this leader must be Beigong.

"This is all the reputation of the Great Chief Beigong. Even the great wise and good teachers want to join the Great Chief and raise an army together. This matter will definitely be accomplished."

"Yes, Chief Mu Baohan is right. Now we are getting stronger and we have stronger allies. The court has bullied me for a long time. My grassland tribes should unite as soon as possible, raise troops together, kill the officials in Liangzhou, and give me a clean grassland."

"That's right! All of my Qiang and Hu men can fight well, but with the words of the Great Chief of Beigong, they will kill the government and destroy the officials."

"Okay, it's all up to you!"

"Brother Bo Yu, except for the imperial government. How do you deal with the thousands of villages in Liangzhou? Although a village is small, the number of thousands of villages is as high as millions, which is far more than our number. Moreover, they are spread all over Liangzhou and can meet them when they go there. Their strength cannot be underestimated. If they interfere with it or turn to the court, it will cause great obstacles to our uprising. If we win over them one by one, we will not have so much wealth."

"Well, Brother Wenhou doesn't need to worry. I have already had an idea for these villages. There are hundreds of villages in each of the seven counties of Wuwei. However, there are not many villages with strength. The dozens of the most powerful large and medium-sized villages in our seven counties have been brought over, and then the villages will definitely follow the trend and fall to us. In this way, the villages are not afraid. At the same time as my Qiang Tribe Alliance, I have contacted fifty villages in Liangzhou to come to the grassland to attend this grand event. As long as they are given a little benefit and let them stand on our side, the entire Liangzhou is our possession."

"I don't know which villages have been invited?"

"For example, the famous Xiaobai Village in the world, the Warring States Village in Wuwei County, the Hubao Village, the Dihuang Village in Xiping County, the Yelang Village, Jincheng County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County... etc. Xiaobai Village can be waited for our benefits and rebelled together, and it will surely attract a lot of villages to join us. Humph, if any villages dare to go against us, then we are not polite."

"Brother Bo Yu is brilliant!" "Big Chief Beigong is brilliant!"

"Haha, wherever you are! It's too late today, everyone should take a break early. I'll send someone to contact the tribes tomorrow, and call them all over as soon as possible to discuss the alliance."

.............

Cheng Jian, Jianba and Pei Yuanshao transported a lot of supplies back to Xiaobai Village. After Pei Yuanshao received 120 guan, he took Wang Laohu and the horse thieves brothers and disappeared in the Western Liang Wilderness, not knowing what he did.

Zhan Xiaobai convened the players and NPC backbone of the village, held a small meeting, and arranged tasks for everyone. Now the village’s civil and military officials are ready, and all work is in progress in an orderly manner. There is nothing important now, and nothing can be missed.

Nothing was found outside. There was Hubao Village in the south, Wutong Village in the east, Hualing Village in the west, Daqi Village in the south, Hutoushan Village in the south, all of which were under construction and were being prepared. No village has had this ability to break through the defense line of the peripheral Allied forces and directly invade Xiaobai Village.

So Zhan Xiaobai is also at ease and can go to the grassland with peace of mind.
