Chapter 158: Obstruction (Part 2)
[The three thousand words are updated first, tomorrow morning, and the latest morning is 3 thousand words. The month is midnight. In order to adjust the work and rest time a few days ago, the speed is slow. I'm sorry. We will accelerate the update from tomorrow.]
Wow, wow, two short horns came from the other side of the hills.
The sound of horse hooves coming from the same direction gradually slowed down, and the cheers rose up.
On this side of the hill, Hela and Alikhi got off their horses and stood bored.
Dozens of cavalry were scattered around the two of them, all of whom were Sola. Ali saw two tribe members who blocked the Bu Guiren, standing bored, guarding the boundary line of the hunting ground for hunting activities behind the hills.
In the early autumn of the northern grassland, you can already smell the smell of winter. The horses scattered around are lowering their heads, desperately resting on their nutrition for winter.
He La looked up at the setting sun in the west, and was bored to calculate the end of the hunting activity.
Ali looked back at the flaunting red flag on the top of the hills. Several soldiers stood at the top of the hills, raising the red flags alternately and shaking them, indicating the direction of the prey's escape.
Ali raised his arm and poked it: "How many heads are this?"
"Thirty? Forty?" Hula said casually. He did not go to the opposite side of the hills. How many elks had been hunted by Yilijin, but he always heard the horns after shooting the prey. "No matter how many heads he hunted, it will be thanks to Sala." The corners of his mouth were raised, and his bared teeth were sarcastic. "The salt was sprinkled so well. I saw that he had caught more than seventy deer in the morning."
Aliji also added: "I saw Sala take people to the east to the Fuchin Rabbit Cave yesterday."
Hula grinned, "I am worthy of being the number one hunter of the Bu. I didn't expect that Sala would even catch rabbits." He spitted hard on the ground, "Wuli led the team out and met the southern siege. He came back one of them, and the knife was hit by his nose, and he was still hunting here!"
Ali Kando looked at Hu La a few times, but Hu La was not so angry that he rolled his eyes, "What are you looking at?"
Alijiu said: "I see that you are talking more and more like a Han Chinese."
The tribes in Alikh frequently had frequent contacts with the Han merchants in the Song Dynasty, and the tone of the Han people when they spoke was very similar to the current Hola.
"Isn't it good?" Hula asked.
"It's nothing wrong." Alikhi didn't care. Nowadays, more and more people talked like Han people. Even he himself felt that he had started to speak like Han people. "As long as he didn't look like a Shubu people, it would be great. Like a Shubu people, there was no way to survive inside and outside of Heishan."
Hula remained silent, the muscles on the corners of his mouth twitched, obviously being spoken to his heart.
Suddenly, he pulled out his knife and slashed the short tree in front of him. His face was twisted and waved his arms wildly. The wood chips flew across the sound of Duoduo, and the short tree swayed. He La finally cut off the trunk in the waist with a forceful knife. The anger and madness on his face finally subsided.
Turning back, he said hoarsely, "Like the Bu people, there is no way to survive, like the Wugu people, there is no way to survive, just like the Khitan people, there is no way to survive, and the Khitan people don't think you are human, they only look down on the Zhenxi people, the real Han people. Only like the Han people, can still do business with the Han people. Like the Khitan people, they have to use so much salt to lure the deer, and turn to the children at home and drink sheep blood!"
Ali Kyuya looked up at the hills and began to shake the red flag again, "I'm afraid that he will please the noble people, so I will take the salt from our house when I look back."
Deer loves to eat salt, and using salt to lure deer is a common method of hunting, but this is not a common method used by hunters.
To stop people from hunting, they can use whistles to imitate doe to call to tempt, or they can lie in ambush beside rivers and lakes where the deer is drinking, or they can surround the forest where the deer is located and drive away bit by bit.
But today's hunting is just to make the nobles from the east happy. Sala sprinkled a lot of salt on the river where the deer often drinks water to set up traps to lure the deer. He caught dozens of elk alive in one breath and sent them to the hunting ground to let them go, so that the nobles could shoot happily.
Sala, who was in charge of this matter, paid such a great price. As long as the nobleman sent from the east was satisfied, the nobleman handed over the power to control the Bushi tribe to him, everything would be earned back.
Aliji said worriedly, "Do you remember Wuba from Nugudi? After hearing Sala's words, he went to steal the caravans of Han people, and no more than 200 sons came back. What did Sala do? He took Nugudi in one breath. Wuba was dead, and his wives, concubines, daughters and granddaughters all entered Sala's tent. That was a poisonous snake, and he would be poisoned to death by him."
"I'm not afraid of snakes." Hulaze said fiercely, "I don't have salt at home, only knives and bows, and there are eight hundred warriors waiting for him to come."
After saying that, Hula looked at Aliji. Aliji nodded and shared his hatred for the enemy. "My family sold 1,200 sheep and more than 60 horses in one go, and then exchanged ten stones of salt. There was no extra for anyone. Who would come to grab it? I would exchange my life for it!"
The current territory of the various ministries of Bubu do not produce salt.
In the past, there was a salt lake occupied by the King of Bu, but the quantity was small and the quality was low. The ministries of Bu basically had to buy salt from outside. Now this only salt lake was occupied by the Khitans and distributed to the Wugu tribe, and the ministries of Bu Bu tribes have become even more dependent on the outside world.
If you cannot produce salt by yourself, the price of the salt sold by the Shubu tribe becomes very expensive. The price offered by the Han merchants in the Song Dynasty required two top-quality sheepskins to exchange for one pound of salt. The salt transported by the Khitans was cheaper, but the taste was very poor and it was bitter.
The Song people's caravans have come a lot. The truces near the Yellow River have basically used salt from the Han people from the south. Khitan salt has no sales. Even the Wugu tribe, which just obtained a salt lake, has three salt lakes in the tribe, but they still buy the salt from the Song people and their own salt lakes, so they let them eat horses and sheep from each family.
On the grassland, when guests come to the door, they must serve salt and tea. These two things are more precious than gold and silver in the eyes of the slogans. They can be regarded as betrothal gifts and dowry like horses and sheep.
No matter who comes to rob the treasures of the family, as long as the men of the Bu tribe are not dead, they will always beat the thief back.
The two of them said very tough, but they were still standing guard for Sala and the Khitan nobles, guarding the hunting ground.
Both Hela and Alijiu knew in their hearts that if the Khitans really supported Sala, unless they had the intention to fight the whole clan, they could only let them ask for it.
The three branches of the east, west and outside were once pinched together by one person, and the reputation of the king Mogus of the Bu is still loud even thousands of miles away.
In the years when Mogus unified the Bud, fewer and fewer tributes were asked to be taken away by the Khitans, and the lives of various tribes became better and better. As King Mogus became more and more famous, other tribes began to be moved and planned to attack the Khitans together and eliminate the Khitan rule on the grasslands. But at that time, the prince of the Khitan came.
Yelu Long came from the east with only 10,000 people. They fought with guns and cannons in three consecutive battles. Mogus was defeated in each battle and fled. In the end, the king's tent was lifted up. Mogus himself died, and tens of thousands of Shubu men died on the grassland. From that day on, the various parts of Shubu collapsed and all became the dogs of the Khitans.
He rushed to the south of the Yellow River to guard the gate for the Emperor's Oluduo, and rushed to the southern mountains to block the road for the Emperor's Oluduo. There were many more, and they were slaves in the Emperor's Oluduo.
Anyone who stops the Bu wants to change the status quo. But the Bu people know that unless there is no longer only the Khitans on this land, the loudest voices of the Khitans will never be able to do anything to the Khitans by relying on the power of the Bu people.
The horn rang again, and it was the third time when the two of them were talking.
He La turned his head unhappily at the red flag dancing on the hills, "How many deer did Sala release? He planned to shine all the deer he caught today?"
The capture of Sala was prepared to be placed on the hunting ground. The two of them saw more than seventy deer and perhaps hundreds of rabbits, which was enough for dozens of people brought by the Khitan nobles to two or three days. But now it seems that they may be used up in one day.
Aliji laughed, "Sarah must not be able to sleep tonight. This noble man is not easy to serve."
"Aren't the noble people we serve the same as him?" Hula said, and stopped talking.
The hunting continued until the evening, and the results of today's Khitan nobles began to be spread everywhere on the hunting ground.
One man and one bow, shot three hundred rabbits, fifty deer, one fox and two wolves in one day.
The prey was tied up by ropes, carried by more than a dozen horses, and returned to the camp with great might.
He La was so nauseous that he was grinning and sneered. Ali saw his hands clasped and recited the Buddha, "Die early and reincarnate early. These rabbits and deer were tortured by Sala."
He La looked at the camp, with trenches, earthen walls, and cannons on all sides, and the lights inside were brightly lit. He sneered, "In the past, he cut down a treetop and made a bow and inserted it on the ground. He lie down and fell asleep. Now he still has to dig a trenches."
"Bowzi Shop? I haven't seen it for a long time."
The Khitans did not set up camp in the past, but made a soft branch on the treetops to make a bow and placed it on the ground as a place to gather. This is called a bow shop.
Now when the Khitan soldiers and horses move, as long as they stop and camp, there will be no shortage of railings and trenches. Whether they are Liao or Song people, they can't tell whether they are Liao or Song people.
"The Khitans learn from the Han people, but they still can't beat the Han people." Hula suddenly said, "If the Song people come, I will surrender. I will not die for the Khitans."
It can be heard that this is not a qi word, but a careful consideration.
"Ali Ji, where are you?" He La asked casually, but the corners of his narrowed eyes had already smelled dangerous.
Before Alijiu asked, he had already understood that it had reached the most critical moment. At this time, if he hesitated for a moment, the next moment, He La would draw out the knife.
Although the two met since childhood, exchanged tokens and became brothers, and the two tribes have been in-laws for generations, Hu La will never hold back. Ali Ji asked himself that if he was in Hu La's position, if he could not get a positive answer, he would immediately pull out his knife and cut it down.
Alijiu said quickly: "The Han people farm, we grazed, and they can't steal our land. We just need to sell them wool and sheepskin."
"You really think so?" He La stared at Aliji and asked.
"Who doesn't think so on this grassland?" Aliji shook his head, "Who doesn't understand when the two sides compare?"
"Sarah doesn't understand."
"Because he can steal us with the Khitan, it won't work with the Han people. We will kill him." Ali asked, "Hala, what are you going to do?"
He said, "Just remember what you said today." He looked south, "The opportunity is coming soon."
"Opportunity, what opportunity?" Aliji asked.
He La turned around and looked at Ali, showing a cunning smile, "If you read the newspapers of the Han people, you won't ask."
