"The Barbarian Cattle Department used five hundred high-grade war horses to exchange a batch of food and supplies from the dragon collar."

They traded with other Qianghu tribes, exchanging Han Chinese slaves, war horses, cattle and sheep from other tribes, and making the difference. There are not many large tribes in the south of the Hetao, although the strength of the Barbarian Cattle Department has been reduced because of the previous war, but it is still stronger than the average medium-sized tribe, and the Manniu Department and the small and medium-sized tribes trade fairly, rather than according to the rules of the grassland, the strong take all, and the small tribes are naturally happy. The use of grassland materials is relatively tight, not only is there a shortage of food, but also some daily necessities of the Han people are also in need, and the transaction is generally going smoothly. ”

Yu Buzhi frowned: "In that case, what is Yuan Zhi worried about?" ”

Zhululing hopes to enter the Hetao market, but the Hetao Qianghu is strong, and the dragon leader has always been tough to show people, and it was not long after the establishment of a few battles with Qianghu, it is difficult to reverse the image at once, so that Qianghu can rest assured to do business, so it is necessary to find a local intermediary to operate, and the Manniu Department plays such a role. The Manniu tribe is the first Qianghu tribe to establish trade ties with the dragon leader, but it will not be the last, and when the dragon leader establishes and maintains a good trade reputation in the Hetao, it is believed that more and more tribes will be willing to cooperate.

Maybe there is a process in the middle, and the deer leader is fully mentally prepared for this and is not in a hurry.

The market development of the Manniu Department is smooth, which is of course a good thing for Longling to open the market.

The situation is very good, but Xu Shu returned to the main base with a serious face, and Yu Buzhi was a little confused.

Xu Shu sighed: "I know from the past caravans that there have been some rumors on the grassland recently, most of which point to the Barbarian Cattle Department, saying that the Barbarian Cattle Department colluded with the Dragon Leader to plunder the wealth of the Qianghu tribes by means of trade, and helped the Dragon Leader gain more population, accusing the Barbarian Cattle Department of becoming a lackey of the Han forces. ”

"Stirring up ethnic antagonism? It's too vicious! Yu Buzhi gasped.

Ethnic hatred is difficult to resolve.

Hetao Qianghu is strong, Longling as a Han force, marching into Hetao and Qianghu many times, equivalent to giving Qianghu a few big mouths, as the most vulnerable ethnic group in the local area, Longling's performance is too high-profile, if someone deliberately instigates, Longling does have all the necessary conditions to become the target of ethnic struggle.

The Qianghu is composed of many ethnic groups, and there are internal contradictions, and they will also fight each other, not monolithic, but the difference between the nomads and the Han is too great, and it is the difference between different civilizations. Compared with the Han people, the Xianbei, Qiang and Xiongnu are properly in the same breath, and the agricultural civilization is the outlier of the Hetao, and because of the relative wealth of the advanced productive forces, the nomads have long been accustomed to robbing the Han people.

"My subordinates think so too."

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "The Barbarian Cattle Department has just cooperated with us, and in less than a month, rumors have appeared on the grassland, how can it be so fast?" At the beginning, the legend of the dragon led by the dragon was spread all over the Hetao for a month, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong! The subordinates thought that these rumors were probably premeditated. ”

Yu Buzhi's face sank like water: "It seems that we are being targeted?" ”

The cooperation between the Wild Bull Department and the Dragon Leader has just begun, and there is no fanfare, not many people know about it, and the importance and shock are far less than the original legend of the dragon, it stands to reason that it should not cause too much sensation, but the speed of transmission is faster, and I can't help but have the idea of "being targeted". You must know that before the battle of the four clans, the dragon cavalry first pursued the Zhehan Department for 800 miles, and not long after that, they attacked the Zhehan camp, and even the fox of the grassland was slaughtered.

"It's possible."

"Anything else?"

Xu Shu said quietly: "Wild Bull Department." ”

The fish was unwise and sighed: "Is it a barbarian cow? That's right, Wu Shuai, like Xi Shuai, wants to create a strong enough Xiongnu tribe so that he can have a chance to fight against the Qiang people and Xianbei people, and it is not unjust to be targeted. However, even against the Brute Bull Division, we will still be dragged into the water in the end. ”

The Manniu Department has officially cooperated with Longling, which is very important for Longling to open the Hetao market as soon as possible.

This is not a question of how deep the friendship between the dragon leader and the brute bull is, and whether it is worth standing shoulder to shoulder with each other.

It's about attitude.

If the cooperation between the two sides does not spread, Long Ling can choose one more thing than one less thing, and then find another collaborator. But now the rumors are rampant, if the Barbarian Bull Department is hit by cooperating with the Dragon Leader, but the Dragon Leader is indifferent and does not save him, who will dare to cooperate with the Dragon Leader in the future? The dragon leader can gain a foothold in the Hetao, relying on the tough attitude of never flinching when the enemy comes to attack, which determines that it is difficult for the dragon leader to retreat easily, once he begins to show weakness to the outside world, it is likely to be ruined, and the future troubles are endless.

Xu Shu nodded: "So we have to adjust the plan." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Complete the [Liberation of Shangjun] mission issued by Zhu Cheqi as soon as possible."

The mission of "Restoration of Shangjun" has a time limit and must be completed within one year, and at the rate of time flow in the game, a game year is a realistic time of one and a half months. The task prompt makes it clear that the earlier you complete the task, the higher the evaluation you get, indicating that the task reward is related to the task duration, and it is better to do it later than to do it early.

However, Xu Shu now proposes to complete Zhu Jun's task as soon as possible, obviously not to get the task reward early, but to quickly solve the important task in hand before the crisis caused by the rumors completely erupts, so that he can go all out to deal with the crisis in the future. Regardless of whether the rumor-monger's target is the Dragon Leader or the Wild Bull Division, it is difficult for the Dragon Leader to stay out of the situation, and after the crisis breaks out, it is difficult to get the troops out to fight the abandoned county town.

On the other hand, there are various indications that the early completion of the task is conducive to the improvement of Zhu Jun's strength.

After receiving the task of [Recovering Shangjun], Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu and others conducted an in-depth analysis, discussing from the task description, background, requirements and other related details, and the [Recovering Shangjun] task was full of doubts, which was different from the previous task of one task. Just saying that the prefix of the mission name, "Princes Promotion Mission", is enough to make people think about it.

Referring to the precedent of the East China Sea, "heroic return", "combat mission" and "war exploits against foreign races" have all been possessed, and at first glance, [Guangfu Shangjun] may indeed be a paving stone for Yu Buzhi to advance to the princes. But the deeper you analyze, the more far-fetched this statement becomes, like looking at flowers in a dream, full of fog.

It wasn't until Xu Shu thought of a certain possibility that the situation suddenly became clear.

The task prefix "Princes Promotion Mission" will not be untargeted, someone must use this to promote the princes. However, it is not necessarily the task performer who is promoted to the prince, but also the task publisher. Zhu Jun was a famous general of the imperial court, and his prestige, status and merits were enough to make many princes look up, but he was not a prince.

Never!

The task of [recovering Shangjun] may be an opportunity for Zhu Jun to change from an exiled minister to a prince!
