Wang Peng's current identity has not yet come into contact with the Khitan upper-class nobles, so he finally waited for Yelu Lisi, so he was ready to persuade Yelu Lisi first that as long as it was a war of the Khitans, the Yelu clan of the Diira Department must be the leader of this army, and Yelu Lisi was likely to be the vanguard of the army.

"Is this battle really inevitable?" Wang Peng put himself in the perspective of a businessman and said: "War is not good for both sides, I heard that the Murowei people are even more barbaric, they are a group of barbaric people, if you attack them, they will flee thousands of miles if they can't fight, and then they will wait until the Khitans are defenseless, and stick a knife ...... from your back." ”

Jerry smiled disapprovingly, feeling that it was also very interesting to talk about war with a businessman, who only had money in their eyes, and would not do anything that was not beneficial.

"Go on!"

"In Shangyan Shang, we shouldn't say these things, but if the caravan wants to make the most profits, it must consider the input and output, what can the Khitan people gain by attacking the Murowei people, and we also know that there is a constant war between you and An Lushan, and at this time, there is not much benefit to fighting with the Murowei people, this kind of loss-making business will not be done by a shrewd businessman, so why do you have to fight with the Murowei people?"

Yelu Lisi laughed, tears of laughter flowed out, a merchant is a merchant, and there is only money and benefits in his eyes.

"You're right, attacking the Murwei people will not do much good to the Khitan, but will add an enemy to us, but the Murwei people must teach them a lesson, so that they know that there is a price to be paid for occupying our Huanghe and Laoha River?"

"Captain Zhenwei, the Tang people have a saying called salute first and then soldiers, since the Murwei people occupy the Huang River and the Laoha River, why don't we go to the Murwei River and tell them the pros and cons of this, maybe the Murwei people will take the initiative to give up the Huang River and the Lao Ha River, if the Murwei people are unwilling, it is not too late for the Khitan to send troops?"

Yelu Lisi touched the beard on his mouth and said, "Aren't you afraid that the people of Murowei will kill you in a fit of rage?" ”

"The two countries will not fight each other, and we are a caravan, the Murwei people should not deal with us, if the Murwei people are not willing to listen, we will not force it, we just hope that the trade route opened up this time will not be cut off because of the war?"

At this time, the Khitan really can't use the sword lightly, Wang Peng is right, it's okay to teach the Murwei people a lesson, if it really becomes a protracted war, the gains outweigh the losses, and the Khitan's enemy is An Lushan, not the Murwei people who have nothing.

"Good! You go and tell those Murwei people that as long as they leave the Huang River and the Laoha River, we will not attack them, and if the Murwei people are still grazing in the Huang River and the Laoha River in a month's time, don't blame us Khitans for attacking them! ”

The war between the Khitan and the Murwei people can only be carried out to a minimum, and it is best to contain some tribes such as the Yellow Head, and there is a good relationship with the Khitan tribe, and when necessary, join forces with the Khitan people to attack some of the Murwei tribes, so that it is in the interests of the Uro Protectorate, this time can not be too long, once the Yellow Head tribes react, the Uro Protectorate will be wiped out.

Yelu Lisi is very smart, Wang Peng thought that he needed to spend more saliva, but he didn't expect that Yelu Lisi was not prepared for a war with the Murowei people at all, the more north the Songmo Governor's Mansion is, the colder it is, in addition to the Murowei people can continue to graze there, it is difficult for the Khitan people to adapt to the cold of the Far North, so the battle against the Murowei people will not be too big, which Wang Peng can hear from Yelu Lisi's words.

It is very simple to talk to a smart person, Yelu Lisi sees Wang Peng's behavior as a two-sided pleasing businessman for profit, the further north the caravan, the higher the profit, which is very clear to Yelu Lisi, the same is a pot of wine, in the Khitan you can exchange for a war horse, and when you get to Murowei, it becomes two, and there are a lot of deer antlers and mink in Murowei, and the colder the place, the better the fur.

Yelu Lisi threw Wang Peng a token and said: "You will be friends of the Khitan people in the future, with this token, you can be unimpeded on the ground of the Song Desert Governor's Mansion, I hope you can bring us good news when you come back from Murowei?" ”

Yelu Ryth rode away, and the trade on the grassland began, a cotton cloth for a sheep, two catties of salt can also be exchanged for a sheep, all barter, copper money has no purchasing power in the grassland, but gold is very valuable everywhere, when a herdsman holds a piece of dog's head gold for a jar, both sides are very happy, no one thinks that such a transaction will suffer anyone.

Three days later, when the caravan camped with herds of cattle and sheep, Wang Peng left the Dierabu and drove the herds of cattle and sheep to the north, and traced up the Huang River to Huangtou.

The arrival of the caravan made the Yellow Head lively, and like the Khitan, it had been a long time since the caravan appeared in the Yellow Head, and when I heard that the caravan was coming from the Khitan, the leader of the Yellow Head personally met with Wang Peng.

Wang Peng walked into the big tent and immediately noticed that the atmosphere here was a little wrong, and said to the high-ranking Huangtou leader: "The caravan from afar greets the Huangtou leader, we have brought the best goods in the Tang Dynasty, please allow us to trade with your herdsmen here?" ”

The yellow-headed leader Hecha sat on a bear skin, the whole person looked very tired, during this time, there were Khitan people constantly appearing on the upper reaches of the Huang River and the Laoha River, the war on the grassland is not a war to destroy the country, such a war will only be a way of tribal integration, the real terrible war on the grassland is the battle for grassland, it will happen every day, although it is not very tragic, but like a small wound constantly flowing blood on the body, such a war is the most terrifying, losing the grassland is equivalent to losing the chance to survive, Now that there are Khitans and Huangtou fighting for pasture in the upper reaches of the Huang River, it means that the two sides will fight to the death.

Hecha had no idea of doing business with Wang Peng at all, so he sat on the bearskin seat and said, "Your caravan came from the Khitan, have you heard any news from the Khitans?" ”

Wang Peng looked very humble, and immediately panicked: "The Khitan people are very angry when they hear that the herdsmen of the leader have occupied the place where their ancestors lived, and they are preparing to attack the Yellow Head, when the caravan comes from the territory of the Khitans, they let the caravan bring a message to the leader, and let the leader leave the Huanghe River with his herdsmen, otherwise they will be attacked by the Khitans, the Khitans have fed their war horses, polished the steel knives in their hands, they will kill all the men in the yellow head, and will bring death to the Yellow Head like a plague ......."
