223 Creek Rosa
Xi Luosa, the leader of the nearly forty years old, his ancestor bullied the south of Lingwen once brilliantly, occupied the Hehuang region, set up the royal city in Qingtang, led hundreds of thousands of tribes, the east of the Great Song Dynasty, the north of the Xia people, relying on the east and west of the Hehuang trade road, rich on the side.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, since the death of Nan Lingwen, his three sons fought for power and vendetta against each other, and never gathered the strength of the clan together.
Not only was he deprived of the titles of General Ningyuan, Aizhou Regiment Training Envoy, and Miaochuan Leader by the Great Song Dynasty, but he was also often attacked by the Xia people in the north, and had to shrink the area of activity to the south of Nanshan, and most of the former territories were occupied by the Great Song Dynasty.
In his generation, there were only more than 10,000 people left in the Dialo tribe, scattered in the plateau and mountains on the north bank of Huangshui, living a precarious and starving life.
The Song people in Huangzhou never hated or drove away these Tibetans, because their numbers were too small, and they were only concentrated in and around a few major walled cities, and basically did not set foot in the depths of the mountains. It's not so much that you don't want to drive away, but that you can't drive away or have no time to drive away.
However, without the valleys and gentle slopes with abundant water and grass, the tribesmen have lost their wings to fly, and they either tend to work hard under the Song people to change their food, or they have to enter the mountains to fight against God.
Many of the tribesmen died in the cold, avalanches, disease, and starvation, and it was said that this was the punishment of the gods for the evil deeds of those who fought each other for power.
But Xi Luosa did not accept his fate, and since he was elected as the leader of the Na Luo tribe, he has been thinking about how to change the fate of himself and his people, and fantasizes that one day he can establish his own dynasty like his ancestor Bullying Nan Ling Wen.
But this idea is very difficult to implement, and it is obviously not a good choice to be the enemy of the Great Song. The Zara tribe was very poor, and many of them did not even have an iron sword, so they could only use animal bones as bows and arrows, and animal skins as armor. The Song people are the only trading partners they can find, and they really won't get anything if they make a fuss.
The Xia people are not good people, they have always excluded foreign races, even if they lead their troops to serve the Xia people, they can't get much benefit, the only thing they can get is the souls of the warriors in the clan, this road can't go through.
It seems that the timing is not quite right, because at this time, the Hehuang region is already the territory of the Song people, even if people are willing to let the Ngari tribe continue the glory of their ancestors, they can't take so many people to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty.
There seems to be only one road in front of Xi Luosa, leading his troops west to the west of Cuowenbu, fighting for pastures with the Xiqiang people, and then multiply, temporarily avoiding the Song and Xia people, these two behemoths can not be provoked by anyone at present.
But if you want to move west to other people's homes to smash and rob, you have to have a certain amount of force. There is no shortage of warriors among the clansmen, but they have no weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies, so how can they fight the equally fierce Qiang people with only flesh and blood?
In the end, Xi Luosa still hit the Song people with the idea, to be precise, he planned to exchange gold with several walled fort defenders by the Huangshui to exchange armor.
Despite the harsh conditions in the mountains, but not for nothing, the generous god did not completely abandon his faithful people. Over the years, the tribesmen found gold in the flowing water of the ravine, and went up the river to find two gold mines.
This beautiful metal was of no use to the Xiluosa and the Nadira tribes, but the Song people liked it, and the two sides hit it off. In the first year or so, the people of Xiluosa exchanged gold for hundreds of swords, bows, and armor from Tongchuan Fort and Zongcheng.
But this speed is far from meeting the requirements of Xi Luosa, and the tribesmen are also very difficult to mine gold, and the Song people are even more greedy, unwilling to reduce prices, and want to meet the needs of westward migration is far away.
But all this seems to have taken a turn for the better, the previous winter Xi Luosa inadvertently saved Liao Chun, the guard of Tongchuan Fort, who was almost buried by an avalanche, during a hunt, this fat Han man finally told the truth in order to thank him for saving his life:
Even if Xi Luosa could come up with more gold, the Song people's walled fort would not be able to take out more armor. Because they are not a combat unit, the number of armor is already small, and there is a detailed registration, so it is not easy to get additional supplements, and they cannot take out too much.
But Liao Chun also said that there is a way to get more armor, and that is to plunder the passing convoys. Most of them were transporting armor and food to the border gates, and no matter what commodities were urgently needed by the Xiluosa people.
As for whether this will lead to the extermination of the imperial court, Liao Chun said that as long as he acts according to his instructions, it will not attract the attention of the imperial court. Of course, all this is not done in vain, and Xiluosa still has to pay gold as a reward, regardless of whether the robbery is successful or not, and whether there are any casualties among the Sadoros, as long as the information he provides is correct, this reward cannot be less.
The two sides have cooperated several times, and the results are indeed very satisfactory. Xi Luosa got the armor and food, and Liao Chun sat at home and had gold in the account, and each got his place.
There are bandits in the Black Tiger Mountain, or the Fan people who ran over from the Xia people, this is the result of the investigation that Liao Chun reported to the forbidden army. As he had predicted, the Forbidden Army did not intend to take it seriously after hearing that it was a small group of people from the north.
The mountains north of Tongchuan Fort and all the way to the territory of Western Xia were continuous, and the large army could not pass through, but the Tibetan tribes who were accustomed to this environment could live in them.
Just to the north of these mountains, there lived a Tibetan tribe known as the Liugu Tribe, who was originally fighting with the Western Xia for Liangzhou, but was defeated and scattered into many small tribes. Because it's not worth it for such a small group of people to make a move, as long as you don't make too much trouble, you don't have to deal with it.
In this way, Xi Luosa and Liao Chunan started to do business without capital with peace of mind. Liao Chun's Tongchuan Fort was the first walled fort to enter Huangzhou, and all the logistical transportation and caravans of the Song Dynasty had to pass through here.
He would carefully inquire about the truth of the comer, and then make a final judgment based on the number of escort troops and the type of goods, and then send his henchmen to inform Xi Luosa to go down the mountain to rob, and almost once the robbery was successful.
Of course, there are times when you miss, just once. On that occasion, Liao Chun sent someone to report that there was a camel caravan heading along the Huangshui River towards Jiangzong City, and since this caravan did not stop at Tongchuan Fort, it was not known what it was transporting, but judging from the size of the caravan, it should be valuable goods.
Moreover, this camel caravan is not like the military's, let alone the imperial court's, the private caravan is robbed, no one will be overly investigated, and those who dare to come here to do business are also outlaws.
When Xi Luosa heard this, he immediately led people down the mountain, and also found and followed the caravan, but before he could find a suitable place to intercept and kill, he was discovered by the other party and was warned. Not a verbal warning, but a weapon, a crossbow!
This weapon is incomprehensible in the eyes of Xi Luosa, even if he wears iron armor. The other party not only has a strong crossbow, but also everyone wears full-body armor, and that kind of armor is stronger than the one Liao Chun exchanged for himself at a glance, I don't know how many times.
Then Xi Luosa was instigated, although the opponent was small in number, but the equipment was too strong, even if he could rely on the number of people to win in the end, it would definitely be a disastrous victory.
Is it worth exchanging the lives of dozens of tribal warriors for these armor? Xi Luosa felt that it was not worth it. There is no armor to change or rob, and there is always a time when it is enough for one, two, or three years.
But if the people are gone, it will take at least ten or even twenty years to grow up, and there are less than 10,000 people of the Nadiro tribe who are still obeying their orders, and more than half of them are women and children, who cannot withstand this fearless consumption.
Since that fight, this camel team has passed by here again, Liao Chun still hasn't figured out the origin of the people, and Xi Luosa simply didn't even go down the mountain.
This time, Liao Chun actually risked falling into the abyss, and sent someone overnight to inform him that he was in big trouble! His new boss arrives at Fort Tongchuan and has to thoroughly check the accounts.
As long as the accounts are checked, the armor in the warehouse of Tongchuan Fort that was resold by Liao Chun without permission will immediately be exposed, not only his life will not be guaranteed, but even the various walled forts may be implicated. Maybe this new Song Dynasty official will also send the forbidden army into the mountains to exterminate himself, after all, intercepting and killing the Song people's convoy is also a capital crime.
