"From today onwards, the Ma family's wool purchase, I only recognize you Tuoba Department!"

The battlefield that was full of blood and bloody smell before naturally couldn't stay. And Ma Chao didn't immediately talk about business with Tuoba Ying at the beginning, but just talked and laughed with him. Subsequently, Ma Chao, who was refreshed and sullen, lit several prosperous bonfires by the shore of the lake where he hunted.

The Xianbei people skillfully handled the prey that still had their body temperature at the lake, so that the nobles of the Han Dynasty who sat cross-legged on the skins of the animals by the fire could enjoy the delicious food.

But as soon as he sat down, Ma Chao didn't have any foreshadowing, and he came up and said these earth-shattering words. It's just that when he said this, Ma Chao's brows wrinkled slightly.

It's not because he has any dislike for Tuoba Ying, in fact, after this period of contact, Ma Chao found that although Tuoba Ying was young, he was also sharpened into a qualified leader under the cruel law of survival on the grassland. Moreover, what makes Ma Chao even more appreciative is that Tuoba Ying has a faint sense of complex and indescribable melancholy for his ancestors and the land of the Han Dynasty.

This point is a crucial point for Tuoba Ying's great victory over Fu Luo: his bloodline and identity are destined for him to struggle between the alien race and the Han nationality! And now, what Ma Chao needs is to show him a clear way.

The reason why Ma Chao frowned at this time was because he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the treatment of those prey by those Xianbei people not far away: chopping and chopping, and the treatment was still very rough and unclean. Not only is it unpalatable, but it may also be infected with some disease. Therefore, Ma Chao quietly glanced at Chen Haojie beside him, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "Tuoba leader, let you taste the Ma family barbecue today, it is definitely more delicious than the barbecue on the grassland!" ”

At this time, Tuoba Ying, where do you care about what barbecue? Ma Chao's words just now had already made his whole heart skip a few beats. And the Li family doesn't have a deep city government, so when Tuoba Ying heard Ma Chao's last sentence, he actually said something about barbecue that is not related to wind and cow and horse, and couldn't help but say in a hurry: "General Tian, what you said before, but is it true?" ”

"What I Ma Chao said, is there any falsehood?" Ma Chao saw that Chen Haojie had taken over the work of the chef, his face couldn't help but become happy again, took out a delicate small pot, poured out the white and translucent crystal liquor, and motioned for Tuoba to taste it, before continuing: "There are only more than 10,000 people in your Tuoba Department, and the wool produced is naturally not enough for the Ma family. But as long as the Ma family wants wool, they won't interfere with how you get wool........ Do you understand this? ”

Tuoba Ying had long heard that the Ma family had a magical technique that could spin wool into thread and then weave it into clothing, which was thick and soft, and had an excellent effect on keeping out the cold, called 'sweaters'. Unfortunately, although sweaters have been prevalent in the steppe for several months, Tuoba has not worn them once.

There is no other reason than that Tuoba Ying is only the leader of a small tribe. There are more than 10,000 people in the tribe, and there are only 3 or 4,000 strong people who can fight well. Moreover, his tribe, in the Xiongnu and Xianbei, was still very embarrassed and excluded: in the eyes of the Xiongnu, the Tuoba Department was the Xianbei people; In the eyes of the Xianbei people, the Tuoba Department is the Huns. Moreover, the prestige of the ancestors declined, and the Xiongnu had several turmoil, and his embarrassing bloodline made it even more difficult to gain a foothold on the grassland.

Therefore, when Tuoba Ying heard Ma Chao's faint hint, a flash of the imminent rise of the Tuoba Department appeared in his mind. Shocked and ecstatic, I don't know how to express it. He only smelled the rich aroma of wine overflowing into his nose, and his Adam's apple stirred for a while. Excited, he raised his hand and poured a glass of liquor directly into his throat!

But Tuoba Ying didn't know that Ma Chao drank the best distilled liquor of the Ma family, and the strength of the wine was not comparable to the faint mare's milk wine on the grassland. After a glass of wine suddenly entered the abdomen, Tuoba Ying's handsome and healthy face was a little distorted in an instant, and it seemed to be a little purple, and after recovering his breath for a long time, Tuoba Ying, who was soothing and happy, couldn't help but shake his head: "What a strong wine, it's really ........ Please, please give another one from the Heavenly General. ”

Ma Chao looked at Tuoba Ying, who was dancing excitedly, and couldn't help but feel good about his true temperament. After casually throwing his wine jug to Tuobaying, he said: "Don't be greedy, soon, you can drink as much as you want with this kind of wine........

Ma Chao's words were very seductive, and his face was smiling like a demon who committed a crime. He knew that his negotiation with Tuoba Ying had been successful - although this result had long been expected, Ma Chao saw Tuoba Ying's excited expression with his own eyes, and naturally felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

What's more, he was only throwing out a little sweetness at this time.

Of course, Ma Chao also knew that the benefit of wool alone was enough to change the entire grassland of the Xiongnu: when the plan to use wool to weave cloth and make clothes was introduced, Ma Chao knew that if it went smoothly, the Huns would never get out of the control of the Ma family again, and could only graze and shear sheep on the grassland for the rest of their lives! The so-called Kou Bian entering Chang'an will never appear in the history books in the future!

"The husband doesn't know that the income on the grassland is very large, if it is really as the husband said, he can make sweaters and sell them to the grassland, the Western Regions, and the Han land......... From the experience of the concubine's mother in the silk business, in addition to the freight and processing costs, a small amount of capital is required, and the rest is a million profits. The concubines didn't dare to say more, but at least, there was no problem in paying the military expenses of the Ma family's 150,000 elite soldiers! ”

I remember that after I returned to Chang'an, when I first told Fu Shou about the wool plan, Fu Shou just stared at the big eyes of surprise, and even jumped to himself so excitedly.

Whether the grassland and the Ma family can be closely linked and become a common chain of interests depends on whether the Xiongnu can supply a large amount of wool every year. Once this matter is successful, it will be a terrifying nightmare for the grassland peoples.

Since Europe can stage the tragedy of "sheep eating people", there is no reason why that a large vast grassland will not appear, the Han nation is not because there is no strength to invade the grassland, but because there are not enough interests, with enough interests, even if all the grassland people are hiding in mouse holes, the red-eyed Ma soldiers who need someone to herd sheep for themselves will dig them out one by one and send them to their own pastures.

At that time, the wasteland was no longer a wasteland, and the vast barren land became a garden flowing with milk and honey. Cowards will no longer be cowards, but will become unbeatable warriors. From the Mongolian steppe to the Arctic land, it will be the Ma family's pasture.

Of course, this process will definitely be very long. And it will certainly be full of fighting, revenge, betrayal, intrigue, bloodshed......... And death!

Especially in the initial stage, when the concept of the Huns was still at the stage where they were wolves and the Han were sheep, the Han-Hun contradiction between the Koubian and the Han people would intensify even more. Therefore, what Ma Chao has to do is to reshuffle the forces on the grassland, find a qualified support agent, and make the Huns aware of the change in their roles!!

Therefore, Ma Chao has never changed his plan to let Wang Huayu trouble the Huns. He knew that the old king of the Huns was not a spokesperson who could sincerely cooperate with the Ma family at all.

Before today, the spokesperson of the Ma family chose Yu Fuluo, because Yu Fuluo has vision and means, and is a steppe wolf who can see farther. But now, when Huvro revealed his ambitions prematurely. Ma Chao is going to abandon him and re-establish a new tribe, a tribe that is willing and can work closely with the Ma family to destroy Yufuluo!

Now, it seems, everything is going smoothly and happily. What's more, after Li Zihao's news, he is even more driven by the interests he has to fight for in manipulating the grassland!
