Chapter 148 Visitors from the North
On the other side, Amur also bid farewell to his brother Saihan and embarked on a journey to the Central Plains with a few followers.
They rode their horses, galloping across the grassland, leaving behind a series of deep hoof prints.
The figure left a long trail of afterglow in the afterglow of the setting sun.
After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the border of Cangzhou.
This is a vast plain, adjacent to the grassland, but with a completely different appearance.
The plains are planted with rice and wheat, and the green fields look like a beautiful picture.
The mountains in the distance appear so peaceful and mysterious under the setting sun.
At this time, Amur was standing on the edge of Cangzhou and the grassland, looking at the towering pass in front of him - Taiping Pass.
It is like a sleeping giant beast, lying across the road to Cangzhou, blocking all outsiders.
Taiping Pass is an important pass in Cangzhou of the Daqian Dynasty in the Central Plains. It is also the border between the grassland and the Central Plains. It is heavily guarded and strictly guarded all year round.
Amur looked at the majestic pass in front of him where countless young men from the grassland had failed.
There was no expression on his face.
But it is clear that it is not easy to enter Cangzhou through Taiping Pass.
The attire and identity of these grassland people could easily arouse the vigilance and questioning of the garrison. Once their whereabouts were exposed, not only would the transaction be hopeless, but it might also bring unnecessary trouble to the tribe.
So, Amur thought about it and finally decided to take a detour.
They chose a small road leading to the northern border. Although the journey was much longer, it was relatively safe and could avoid the inspection of Taiping Pass.
There weren't that many people in their group, so it was a bit troublesome to take a detour through the northern border.
But the advantage is stability.
Although it was a long detour, it was all worth it.
Not only did they successfully avoid the inspection at Taiping Pass, but they also gained valuable experience and insights.
As he approached Cangzhou, Amur also began to prepare for the upcoming transaction.
He once again sorted out the tribe's specialties and advantages, thinking about how to better present them to the Prince of Yun who was temporarily serving as the governor of Cangzhou.
We also specifically learned about Cangzhou's market demand and conditions in order to gain an advantageous position in the negotiations.
Although Amur will be the number one war god of the grassland and the one with the highest military power in the future.
But he will not rely solely on his extraordinary martial arts power.
Instead, I prefer to use a more detailed approach to solve problems.
This is the summary of his master Ling Tian Zhiying's life.
And it’s different from Xiang Yu, who was invincible in an era.
Since childhood, Amur has had a master who is also the ceiling, teaching him day and night.
Tell others that there are always people better than you.
So this also made him develop a habit.
I won't just rush forward by relying on force.
So in summary that's it.
Amur compared people like Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.
He has an extra brain.
Coupled with his ceiling combat power.
His threat level increased several levels.
In comparison, an opponent like Li Si the Fool is simply too friendly.
At least Li Erfeng is not around.
The threat level posed by the fool Li Si dropped sharply.
And if the fool Li Si had always followed Li Er.
That invisibly restricted his range of movement.
After all, it is impossible for Li Er to sit idle and do nothing.
Keep going to the most dangerous places on the battlefield.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Cangzhou Governor's Mansion was solemn and dignified.
Su Ye sat upright in the main seat, while Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Li Shanchang and other civil officials sat on both sides.
They are handling all government affairs of Cangzhou in a tense and orderly manner, discussing how to better govern this important frontier town in order to deal with the threats from foreign enemies and the many challenges of domestic affairs.
Just as everyone was busy, there was a sound of brisk footsteps suddenly heard outside the door, accompanied by a faint smell of wine.
The door curtain was lifted, and a figure staggered in. It was the drunkard Guo Jia.
His face was flushed, and he was holding a wine gourd in his hand, obviously he had just had a few drinks. "Haha, everyone, good news, good news!"
While yelling, Guo Jia staggered to the center of the hall.
"Fengxiao, why are you so happy? Did you find some good wine somewhere?"
Su Ye frowned slightly, but then relaxed and asked with a smile.
"No, no, this time we brought a big deal to Cangzhou."
Guo Jia waved his hand and said.
"The Longyao tribe, which is far away from us in the northern prairie, sent people here to conduct long-term trade with our Cangzhou."
He paused, looked around, and seeing that everyone was attracted by his words, he continued triumphantly.
"Oh? The Longyao tribe?"
Su Ye was stunned when he heard this.
The Longyao tribe was a powerful nomadic people in the north, known for their bravery in battle and their proficiency in riding and shooting.
Their relationship with the Central Plains dynasty has always been up and down. Sometimes they surrender and pay tribute, and sometimes they invade the border.
As the governor of Cangzhou, Su Ye naturally knew the situation of the Longyao tribe very well.
And there's more than just the superficial news.
Su Ye also deduced this from several prompts from the system.
The prairie emperor star that originally unified the entire northern prairie.
Also in this Longyao tribe!
"Yes, it is the Longyao tribe."
Guo Jia nodded, "They sent an envoy this time, hoping to trade with us."
“This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for us.”
Xun Yu and others thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Establishing trade relations with the Longyao tribe will do more good than harm to Cangzhou now.
The bordering area between the Longyao tribe and the Central Plains Dynasty is not large.
Most of the territory is on grassland.
Neighboring with various tribes on the grassland.
Once the Longyao tribe becomes strong and powerful.
The first to suffer will definitely not be the Central Plains.
But the tribes on the grassland.
This is also the original trajectory in which the Northern Emperor Star will be the first to unify the entire grassland.
The reason why they invaded the Central Plains at last.
Therefore, Cangzhou entered into a long-term transaction with the Longyao tribe.
Not only can it strengthen the economic ties between the two sides, but more importantly, it can make the grassland more chaotic and reduce the risk of war between the grassland and the Central Plains dynasty.
"So what exactly do they want to trade?" Su Ye asked.
"Horses, furs, medicinal herbs, and other things."
Guo Jia replied, "The Longyao tribe is located in the heart of the grassland, rich in fine horses and high-quality furs."
"And our Central Plains region is rich in medicinal herbs and handicrafts."
"Both sides can get what they need and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."
Su Ye nodded upon hearing this.
Horses and furs from the northern prairie have always been popular in the Central Plains market, not to mention the powerful tribe like the Longyao tribe located in the fertile land in the heart of the prairie.
The medicinal materials and handicrafts from the Central Plains are also deeply loved by the people of the grassland.
The deal is undoubtedly profitable for both parties.
"Where is their messenger now?"
Su Ye asked again.
"Rest at the inn."
Guo Jia replied, "They have come a long way and need to rest for a few days before they can have a formal negotiation."
"In that case, let's make good preparations to welcome these distinguished guests from afar."
Su Ye smiled slightly when he heard this, his expression a little subtle.
