In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Xia Yu heard Furen's words, and knew that Furen was eager to return home, so naturally she would not object, but murmured slightly: "Which way to go? To the north or to the east?"

At the beginning, I still didn't understand Xia Yu's meaning, but I remembered the military situation that Xia Yu reported to him-Tian Shu led the Qi army to defeat Sun You and Qin Kai, and had already crossed Yishui and approached Jidu. If this is the case, then the junction between Jin and Yan must have been controlled by the army of Qi at this time. If you return according to the route you entered Jin, that is, enter the border between Jin and Yan from the east of Jin, It must be impossible, Xia Yu asked "Which way to go?" It was because of this.

Thinking of this, Furen shook slightly, knowing that the situation of Yan State's defeat was critical for a while, but at this moment, he clearly felt that the land that was still in the hands of Yan State a few months ago was now occupied and controlled by Qi State. This kind of intuitive impact makes people really heartbroken.

Slightly clenched his fists, his whole body felt sharper, as if something was changing from the inside out, and slowly restrained all his emotions, he said: "I'm afraid that Xiangdong's army has already Strictly defend the border, Qi and Jin are in a state of confusion, and the concubine of the Zhao family has been classified as the ruling assistant of the state of Jin. I'm afraid someone would have reported the news of my return to the country since we left."

Xia Yu nodded and said: "Zhao's concubine is quite talented. It would be strange if he didn't stay in Jin to inform him. If we take [-] steps back, even if we travel day and night before the reporter returns to Qi. At the border of Qi and Yan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass through the place controlled by the Qi army and return to Jidu. Qi and Jin have been fighting each other for a long time. To guard against the Jin State, we will definitely send people to patrol day and night at the place controlled by the Qi army, at the border with the Jin State, and take strict precautions."

Fu Ren's eyes were deep, and he said: "Yes, Tian Shu is not a mediocre general, and he doesn't even have this bit of precaution."

When Xia Yu heard Furen mention Tian Shu, her brows twitched, but then she lowered her head and restrained her emotions slightly, saying, "It's too dangerous to go east, why don't you go north and go back to Yan by detour."

Furen slightly frowned and said, "North? Take the road from Zhongshan? No way, Zhongshan and Qi are allies, and it's too dangerous to go through Zhongshan."

Xia Yu also pondered slightly, and said: "Zhongshan may not have the same heart with Qi, but if Yan still fights with Qi, Zhongshan may wait and see. At this time, Yan is defeated. I am afraid that the Zhongshan National Assembly will take the opportunity to fall into the well, Mr. Therefore, if you want to go north, you can only bypass Zhongshan and go north, and take Beidi."

Gu Zhu Cun'a, who had been quietly listening to Xia Yu's discussion with Fu Ren, interrupted at this moment: "Rongdi people are barbaric and brutal. It's... too dangerous to go from Beidi."

Xia Yu didn't speak, just looked at Furen quietly, and Furen stood there, looking up at the vast world. It was still midsummer when he entered Jin Dynasty, and it was already autumn now, and the grass and trees had already turned yellow. The meaning was full of desolation and sadness, and he took a deep breath and said: "Let's go from Beidi, if the sky is full of swallows, we can return home smoothly, if the sky wants to kill the swallows..." Convincing didn't say anything after that.

half a month later.

Ama is the leader in charge of running business in the tribe, and he is very prestigious among the two major tribes of the Kui family and the Lu family, because when the guys on the grassland expanded to the grassland 20 years ago, there were many Population loss, and because of the severe crackdown by those called Jin in the south, many tribes can no longer buy goods from the southerners. Not to mention, salt is something that no one can lack, so it is difficult to sell it again. Bought from a Southerner.

Ama is the leader of the running caravan, shuttles back and forth between the Jin people and the major tribes, and knows how to transport salt from the Qi country back to the grassland, so although the Kui family and the Lu family are not in harmony, no one will reject Ama's running Caravan.

Ama has always been at ease, but recently Ama's life has started to be difficult, because Qi and Yan are fighting in the south. Originally, Ama trafficked salt back to the grassland from Qi, crossed Yan, and then returned to the grassland through Zhongshan. This road is the shortest way back to the grassland, but it is not smooth.

Although Zhongshan was also classified as the same kind as the Ama tribe by those southerners, just like the discord between the Kui family and the Lu family, the memory of Zhongshan’s treachery in the past was never forgotten by the grassland people. They don't like the prairie people, they denounce the prairie people as barbarians, and feel that they are already different from the prairie people.Perhaps because of this, every time the caravans of the grasslands, Ama’s caravans return to the grasslands from Zhongshan, they are charged heavy taxes and a lot of money is deducted, so the salt that is transported back to the grasslands in this way will be very expensive, except for Ama caravan.

No one knows how Amma did it. He can always pass through the difficulties smoothly, and he can return to the grassland with salt without paying a lot of money to the officials of Zhongshan Kingdom. Therefore, his Yanba clan is very cheap. It is also welcomed by all tribes.

However, Ama has encountered troubles recently, because Qi and Yan are at war. On the way to sell salt to the grassland, Zhongshan is not a problem, but the Yan land controlled by the Qi army cannot pass through. There is no way, Ama deserves He bribed the officials of the Zhao family of the Jin State with a lot of money, and traveled through the land of Jin State, the greatest enemy of the grassland people, all the way frightened. Fortunately, there was the pass token of the Zhao family that Ama bribed with a lot of money, otherwise I really don’t know what will happen. what happened.

Seeing that the border of the Jin Kingdom was approaching the grassland, the caravan led by Ama was resting at a water source. Some people in the caravan took their horses to drink water, and the other part began to set up tents and set up a fire to prepare water for cooking. After dinner, the guards of the caravan circled the people who were busy, and were surrounding the camp to guard against the sneak attack of horse thieves.

At this time, Ama took the soufflé and the roasted leg of lamb, walked out of her tent, looked at the sunset in the distance, and sighed, the grassland was already very cold at this time, seeing that it was still autumn in Jin and Qi, But in the prairie, it’s about to snow. In the past, this is Ama who has returned to his tent, drinking kumiss around the stove, but this year, because of the war between Yan and Qi, he was dragged down. Returning, delayed on the way.

When Ama was feeling emotional, she suddenly heard a whistle from the caravan guard, indicating that a stranger was approaching. Ama was startled, thinking it was a horse thief, and hurriedly called the people around her to take up their swords and take precautions.
