In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 26 Trading
"Abba, I'm afraid the Han people are going to be doomed this time."

"The leader of the Kashgar tribe is not stupid. If the harassment continues like this, the Han people will be unable to cultivate land or graze their cattle. They will be unable to fight again and again. In the end, I am afraid they will have no choice but to escape."

The Chattu Department had been paying close attention to the situation between Lin Rui and the Kashgar tribe, so when they saw that the Han people were blocked in the earth wall for several days in a row, the Hutch brothers and sisters immediately concluded that Lin Rui and the others would be doomed this time.

Old Chatu also nodded and said: "It seems that Nakashi has indeed learned the lesson. Hatch, please send more people out to investigate in the past few days. I estimate that most of the Han people will run away, and most likely to the south." Run, we can’t let all the advantages be taken by the Kashgar tribe, we must intercept this group of Han people.”

"Okay dad, it's just that I'm worried that the Han people will run northwest into the mountains." Hutch nodded, then frowned.

"Don't worry, you can think of things, but Kashgar can't think of it? Can the Han leader not think of it? That old guy in Kashgar will definitely move the camp to the northwest and block the way for the Han people to enter the mountains, so They will only flee southward back to the Ming Dynasty."

Chatu waved his hands, feeling a little regretful that the group of Han people did not cause greater losses to the Kashgar tribe.

"Abba, that pasture originally belonged to the Chak Tribe. When the Han people left, it logically should belong to our Chatu Tribe, but I'm afraid that the Kashgar Tribe will occupy it and won't leave!"

Hubbell is thinking about the pasture.

"I'm afraid we'll have to let the Jurchens decide this, hey!" Chatu sighed at the end, his tone full of helplessness and unwillingness.

When the brother and sister thought about the glory of the Chahar tribe under the leadership of the Great Khan and commanded the six tribes of Monan, they were relatively speechless and lamented.

At this time, a warrior from the clan opened the curtain and walked in to report: "Clan chief, two Han people have come outside the camp. They are the two people who came with the Han steward before. They say they have something to ask for and want to see you! "

"Oh? Haven't they gone back yet?" Chatu was a little surprised, and immediately asked someone to bring the two of them in.

"I've met the leader of the Chatu clan!" After Huang Ben and Zhou Meng were brought in, they performed Mongolian etiquette.

"You two, please sit down!"

"I wonder why Manager Liu sent you guys to my chart-chatting department?"

After the two sat down, Chatu asked directly, very curious about the purpose of their visit. Could it be that Manager Liu still didn't give up and wanted him to come forward to rescue the third son of the Fan family?

"Chief Chatu has misunderstood. We were not sent here by Manager Liu this time, but by my young master."

"Oh? Has your young master been rescued?"

"To be honest, now we have taken refuge with Mr. Lin, the Han leader who built the wall by the Northwest River. Mr. Hutch and Miss Belle should have met him."

The two of them were afraid that they didn't know Lin Rui, so they explained it in detail.

The three of them were stunned. How could they not know about the Han leader?
Habeier even exclaimed in shock: "How is it possible that you have surrendered to that group of Han people? Didn't they rob your caravan and kidnap your third son?"

Faced with Hubbell's question, the two of them remained silent this time and did not explain.

At this time, Chatu also came back to his senses. Seeing that the two of them were not joking, he asked curiously: "Then why did Mr. Lin send you here?"

"Kashgar Clan Chief, our young master wants to make a deal with your tribe." Huang Ben replied.

"What kind of deal? Could it be that they still want to unite with our Chatu tribe to attack the Kashgar tribe?" Habel thought for a long time, and only thought of this possibility.

"Miss Belle misunderstood. My young master just wants to exchange cowhide and your tribe for some cattle to open up wasteland for farming."

"What? At this time, your young master is still thinking about opening up wasteland for farming? Doesn't he know that even if he grows food, it will only benefit the Kashgar tribe in the end?"

Hubbell opened her mouth in shock again.

Chatu also frowned slightly. He didn't know what the Han leader was thinking, but he still asked, "How should I change it?"

"How about exchanging three cowhide for one cow?" Huang Ben stretched out three fingers and tried to say.

But Chatu shook his head: "It's too little. We need to add another hundred kilograms of grain and one kilogram of salt to be enough." Both brother and sister were frightened by the big mouth of their father's lion. Their tribe had no shortage of meat. A piece of cowhide for a cow is actually quite cost-effective.

After all, a piece of cowhide sold to Shanxi merchants can be worth a lot of food and salt.

"That's impossible. We don't have much food and salt, and we can't change weapons, iron, tea or cloth. If the leader of the Chatu clan is willing to change, we can add another horse."

Huang Ben shook his head and said.

Obviously Lin Rui had already explained the bottom line when he came.

Chatu thought about the fact that the Han people were now blocked by the Kashgar tribe. They really didn't know how to exchange for food and salt, and it was even less likely that they would have weapons and people, so he nodded.

"Okay, how much do you want to change?"

"As long as it's an adult cow, you can exchange it for as much as you want."

"Our tribe has four to five hundred cows. Are you really willing to trade three hides and one horse for one cow?"

Hubbell still couldn't believe it.

Even the Mongolians would not do such stupid things, which would obviously lead to huge losses, so what would the treacherous and cunning Han leader do?
"Of course it's true."

"it is good!"

Seeing that the two of them were confirmed again and that Chatu was not ambiguous, he discussed the details of the transaction with the two of them.

Although he didn't believe that the group of Han people exchanged cattle for plowing the fields, and he couldn't figure out why they exchanged the cattle, he didn't take advantage of it, and he wasn't afraid of the Han people cheating.

In the end, the two agreed that Lin Rui and the others would exchange 1000, [-] cowhide, plus [-] adult war horses with the Chatu tribe for [-] adult cattle.

Tomorrow night, both sides will send ten people each to trade under a mountain [-] miles southeast of Lin Rui's camp.

After the two left, Chatu said to Haqi: "Tomorrow you take people to trade, and I will take the warriors to ambush behind. If the Han people are cheating, you will blow the trumpet to warn them."

"What if they make the deal as agreed?"

"Then make a deal with them."

"Abba, they only have so many people, why don't we just grab them?"

Although he got a big advantage, Hutch still felt sorry for the four hundred cows.

"Brother, we have to be trustworthy, otherwise no tribe will be willing to trade with us in the future." Hubbell said anxiously.

"Amei, they are Han people, not us Mongolians. We don't need to follow the rules."

"Okay, that group of Han people have been forced to the point of desperation. There is no need for us to cause trouble. If they don't cheat, we will deal as agreed."

Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel, Chatu waved his hand.

He was not worried that Chatu would break his promise because of this, but he was worried that he would offend the Han people and fight them tooth and nail.

After all, there are dozens of people on the other side. Once they fight for their lives, even if they kill them all, a lot of people on their side will definitely die. For [-] cows, it is not worth it at all, not to mention that they already have a big advantage.

Early the next morning, Hutch led ten warriors and drove [-] cows and slowly headed towards the destination. By the time they arrived, it had been dark for a while.

Lin Rui also took his people and set off after dark, so both parties arrived at their destination at almost the same time.
