Chapter 334 Loyalty
The fire is burning, burning in the cave
"What do you people from Shushan mean?"

Li Mang looked at Yu Qing, his face turned blue.

Not long ago, Limang learned that Yu Qing had brought [-] bolts of brocade to the territory where the Qin people made the king, and exchanged for [-] hu of grain.

Moreover, Yu Qing chatted happily with him, and even stayed there for a few days before returning to Shushan with food.

You know, the Qin army camp in Yingshanjian has already been built.In the meantime, it's not that Limang didn't think about destroying it again, but his vassals didn't dare to approach that reed wall again, fearing like a god.

Even a mighty wolf king can't run amok on the grassland if he can't drive the pack of wolves.Although Zhu Rong's people are very powerful, they are not numerically superior to the Qin army.

Therefore, Limang could only let it go, watching the Qin army build up the camp.

After that, the Qin army had the strongest line of defense, and it only needed to spend a small amount of troops stationed to contain Zhu Rong's offensive.

According to the latest information, the tribes of the Qin people who enshrined the emperor have already started to plan the land, cultivate and build it, and they are extremely busy.

At this time, the people of Shushan left with a large amount of food from the territory that the Qin people had entrusted to the king.You know, with Shushan's prestige here, as long as they make such a statement, the surrounding tribes, large and small, will all lower their vigilance and communicate with that Qin man to become the king.

"I just kept my promise and gave what should be given to Lord Hanyang. As for the food, he gave me Shushan."

After talking for several days, Yu Qing had a good impression of Zhao Shuang.

"Gift? A joke!"

Limang didn't believe that the man from Qin would have such a good heart, and he would pay such a large amount of food when he made a move.You know, it will be winter soon, and all the tribes in Bashu are short of food.

In the past, many businessmen would drive up the price of grain and buy special products such as herbs and brocade from them at low prices.But now, the Qin man actually took the initiative to give them food. If he said there was nothing in it, Li Mang would not believe it.

"Do you think I'm a fool? If there is no secret agreement, would that Qin man be so forthright?"

"That's the truth, it's useless to say more."

After Yu Qing finished speaking, she turned and left.Li Mang saw it in his eyes, and was even more angry in his heart.

"Get out, get out!"

…………

Nanzheng land.

"Yu Qing left from Zhu Rong's department?"

Mo Crow stood beside Zhao Shuang with a faint smile on his face.

"Our spies in Zhu Rong's department saw Yu Qing walk out with a sullen face. Afterwards, Limang became even more furious, and the fire festival held by Zhu Rong's department was suspended."

Zhao Shuang smiled and glanced at Mo Crow.

"It seems that the [-] hu grains are worth it!"

Mo Crow smiled softly, then raised his head again and asked a question.

"What about the [-] bolts of brocade?"

You know, such a large amount of goods is difficult to "digest" here for a while, and must be transported to Xianyang.

But the problem is that Zhao Shuang's 20 troops migrated here, which cost a lot of money. At this time, it is the time when there is a shortage of money and lack of funds.Sending these ten thousand pieces of brocade to Xianyang can be exchanged for funds as soon as possible.

"It's okay, I just received the news that the envoys sent by Da Yuezhi have returned and brought with them the envoys of King Yuezhi. It seems that they also intend to do business with Qin."

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"The price of these [-] bolts of brocade is only five times higher if it is shipped to Xianyang, but if it is shipped to Da Yueshi, then it may be more than ten times or even dozens of times."

Although Zhao Shuang did not have the spare energy to do this at this time, once the trade route was opened, the brocade and ironware in central Shu could go to Longxi through Guanzhong and then to Dayuezhi.Or, it is possible to directly establish a commercial road from Shu to Long to Da Yuezhi and even the Western Regions.

Once successful, perhaps Zhao Shuang will not have to worry about the funds in the territory in the future.

"Transport the [-] pieces of brocade to Xianyang first, and store it in the warehouse."

"promise!"

Longxi.

There are continuous camps and flocks of cattle and sheep.

Since Mo Kedu retreated from Moon Wolf Valley a few months ago, he led his army back to the edge of Longxi and Da Yuezhi's territory.

Nomadic tribes live by water and grass, and when the grass in one area is eaten up, they go to the next place. They have strong mobility and strong military strength.

However, there is a lack of materials, especially some necessities of life, such as silk, salt, iron... .

Of course, if the powerful tribes such as the Yuezhi, Xiongnu, and Donghu all had their own fixed pastures, it was enough to feed the tribesmen.They even started to build a city and had a fixed royal court.

But a small tribe like Mo Kedu is very embarrassing. Fortunately, he is related to the royal family of the Dayue Clan. Although he is in the territory of Qin State, he can join the Dayue Clan at any time.

And as long as they don't cause trouble, the officials of the state of Qin will not take care of them.

Seeing his teacher Tudor coming from outside the tent, Mo Kedu seemed a little impetuous.

"Teacher, have you found out the details of the group of Huns?"

Mo Kedu led his own army, but was blocked out of the valley by several Hun women, and returned to the territory in despair, which was a great shame.

Tudor looked at his disciples, he seemed a little too concerned.

"I have secretly checked the tribes in the north, and they don't know when the mysterious Xiongnu tribe came? Later, I sent spies further north into the Huns' Henan land, and finally found some traces."

"what?"

"A few years ago, the Xiongnu went south to the land of Zhao, but they returned in a disastrous defeat. At that time, a tribe of the Huns, the 'Descendants of the Moon Wolf', broke away from the control of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and disappeared afterwards."

"Descendants of the Moon Wolf?" Mo Kedu read the name, somewhat puzzled, "How about this tribe?"

"Although this tribe is small, it is very powerful. It is good at repelling wolves and medicine. It is very similar to the Huns tribe we saw back then."

"If this is the case, why did such a tribe live in the North? Also, what happened to the slave mark?"

"This matter is actually very simple."

Tudor analyzed it, and seemed to have seen the inside story hidden in it.

"It is impossible for such a tribe to settle down in the north without the support of external forces. But since they have betrayed Touman, only Da Yuezhi and Qin are left to support them. Gu's incident, the 'Descendants of the Moon Wolf' probably have taken refuge in a person or force within the Qin State and become slaves."

"No surveillance, no family members fleeing, and they are very loyal. They don't look like slaves at all."

Mo Kedu smiled softly, seeming very interested in the details.

"King Yueshi has already sent envoys to Qin, intending to open up a business route and become friendly with Qin. Maybe we will know in the future."

"Open the business road?" Mo Kedu was somewhat dissatisfied, "That old thing likes the exquisite and meticulous utensils of the Qin people. Don't even think about it, can these be used for war?"
