Chapter 16 Tough Business
Chapter 16 Hard Business
Ever since the moment this guy with high nose, deep eyes, gray eyes, yellow hair showed a slutty smile, Yun Lang knew that the business might not be as easy as he thought.
"The Emperor of Han said that our army is the imperial guards of the Han Dynasty. Shouldn't we be robes?"
Jie Jia smiled and bowed, and the etiquette Zhou Xiang.
Yun Lang smiled and said, "Take one hundred and twenty war horses to us, this camp is yours."
Jie Jie said again: "The Han Dynasty in Wuhuan has been fighting in the east and west for 60 years. During this period, there were more powerful tribes who died in battle than on the mountain. The blood of the warriors could gather into a lake. The Emperor of Han said: Can you! He said: "Zheng, ", ", brave, this is not as good as a military camp established in a hurry?"
Yun Lang smiled and said, "Give me one hundred and twenty war horses, this military camp is yours."
Xia Jie stood up straight, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked at Yun Lang coldly and said, "My Wuhuan clan is not good at trading. Every time he trades with the Han people, we suffer a loss..."
Facing the bloody mouth and the yellow teeth full of mouths, Yun Lang said like a repeater: "Give me one hundred and twenty war horses, this camp is yours."
Jie Jia was extremely angry and punched a wooden stake and roared: "Even if we have more blood for the man, you will not regard us as a robe. We are still cattle and sheep that you can slaughter at will, are you?"
Yun Lang smiled and said, "You can do it, you can try to build a military camp by yourself, so that no one will ask you for war horses."
Jie Jie smiled and said, "What a stubborn young man. Why is there no good boy like you in my clan?
Well, you won. When we return to Chang'an, you will get one hundred and twenty war horses that belong to you."
Yun Lang still smiled and said, "No, give me one hundred and twenty war horses, this camp is yours."
Xia Jie frowned and said, "Young man, I have agreed."
Yun Lang smiled and said, "I have said it many times, if there are horses, you have camps. Without horses, you have no camps."
Jie Jie was furious, shouted, clenched a pair of huge fists, and walked towards Yun Lang.
Yun Lang's eyes were cold, and he waved his hand gently. With a "swish", an iron feather arrow penetrated under Shi Jia's feet. The three-foot-long iron feather arrow was more than two feet deep, and only a piece of arrow tail was exposed outside.
Jie Jie stopped suddenly, looked at Yun Lang and said, "I don't believe you dare to shoot the crossbow arrow on me."
Yun Lang frowned and said, "You can try!"
Jie Jie did not move forward, but looked at the sky and let the rain fall on his face, and said sadly: "The Hu people's life is as cheap as a dog. It seems that what the Huns are saying is right."
Yun Lang looked at Jie Jie calmly with his hands behind his back and said, "With the arrogant nature of the Huns, they generally don't say such things. If I insist on guessing, I think the original words should be that the Donghu people are as cheap as dogs.
You fought bloody battles for the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty also sacrificed countless good men to protect you. Don’t say that you are so tall. Don’t think that the Han Dynasty owes you anything. If you think your tribe likes to live in Wuwan Mountain or in Youbeiping?
What we are doing is a fair deal, and there is no question of who bullies whom. I heard that the Wuhuan people have always been generous, and Chang'an City has spent a lot of money on their faces to make beauty smiles and make them look like they never change their faces.
I even see the lives of my own tribe more precious than gold. From you, I have not seen the magnificence of the Wuhuan people, nor have I seen the actions of the Wuhuan people to cherish their tribe's lives. I have only seen a rogue Wuhuan person who is determined to take advantage of it.
Please leave our military camp. If you think we are deliberately exploiting you Wuhuan people, you can see how we sold this camp to the brothers of Beidaying or Xiliuying."
Shi Jie looked around and pointed to the high platform not far away and said, "Do you have many crossbows?"
Yun Lang said lightly: "Not too many, there is no problem leaving you six."
Jie Ji stared at Yun Lang and waved his hand to let a tribe out of the camp, saying, "I hope you can protect these war horses."
After saying that, he went straight to the wooden house in the middle, closed the door heavily, and never came out again.
One hundred and twenty war horses were removed from their saddles and squeezed into the gate of the camp. Huo Qubing sat on the horse and watched the war horses being pulled away by his subordinates. He watched his subordinates evacuate the camp. Then, with Li Gan and others, they went down the hillside.
Yun Lang had no time to see the Wuhuan people entering the military camp. The Cavalry Commander lost the military camp and he had no place to settle down. Fortunately, there was a tall earth cliff not far away.
The loess here are very thick, not soft or hard. With a shovel and a hoe, one not-so-large cave after another can be easily dug out on the soil cliff.
At sunset, all the soldiers and war horses had a simple place to settle down.
Yun Lang was extremely tired, and Huo Qubing, Li Gan, Cao Xiang, and the soldiers who had dug a cave for a day were even hurriedly having a simple supper and then went into the cave to rest.
It was still a little cold on a rainy spring day. Yun Lang and Huo Qubing and the other were sitting around a bonfire, looking at each other, and not in the mood to speak.
Huo Qubing finally broke the dullness and smiled and said, "We got 120 war horses in just two days, which is a good start."
Cao Xiang looked at the cave where he lived and shook his head and said, "We cannot always rely on building camps to earn war horses.
Alang, you won’t sell the place where we live tomorrow, right?”
Yun Lang forced himself to sit up, leaned his back against the wall of the cave and said, "If someone was willing to trade a war horse, I would do this."
You don’t know that our cavalry commander has actually reached the end of his life. We have no shortage of food and fodder, and we are all in short supply.
After the soldiers trained hard for a winter, most of the materials we accumulated were consumed. Not to mention anything else, they just equipped the soldiers with enough clothes. Relying on the power of the general, Huibing had already asked the linen for four years from the Central Army Mansion to get the linen for the Cavalry Commander for four years.
In other words, my brothers' summer clothes are now gone.
The medicinal materials, military equipment, armor, beans for war horses, saddles, belly bands, and bridles in the army all look inconspicuous. Once the quantity is too high, the consumption will be amazing.
The brothers' training was hard and they could not save them from their mouths. In addition, we privately supplemented the brothers with a little salary, which consumed 70% of the accumulated money and food.
If it wasn't for being crazy about poverty, what would you think you came here to get sick?"
Cao Xiang looked at the cake in his hand and said in surprise: "We are not short of money..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yun Lang and Huo Qubing look at him fiercely, and quickly changed his words: "Okay, I'll contact the people from Xiliuying and ask them if they want these earthen caves."
Seeing that Cao Xiang wanted to leave, Huo Qubing said in a deep voice: "Sit down, don't rush for a moment. Now, we should plan carefully to see if we can get more war horses. With war horses, we will solve the rest of the troubles slowly.
Yun Lang smiled bitterly and said, "You can watch it, this battle may take a long time.
When Lei was brought to the Huhu Land, he built a camp. This was clearly intended to seize the city and fight to the death with the great soldiers who came to seize the treasures from all walks of life.
I even suspect that this guy is going to use this camp and his five thousand iron armor to make the Han Kingdom suffer an unprecedented pain.
We cannot be anxious now. The war has not begun. If we are in a mess, we don’t have to do what will happen next.
I think there are two more things we can do, one is to provide meals to the iron armored troops, and the other is to rescue the wounded soldiers so that they can concentrate on fighting.
In this way, after Lei was defeated, we could get some spoils, and then exchange them for war horses and iron armor."
Li Gan looked at the cake in his hand and trembled, "You won't sell cakes in front of the two armies, are you?"
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "If I can exchange the sesame cake for what we need, I can also help bake the sesame cake.
Cao Xiang pressed his chin with both hands and said quietly: "I thought there would be a big battle in the Crouching Tiger Land, but I didn't expect that I would actually sell sesame cakes."
