The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chen Mo naturally wanted to understand the difference between the culture of Mengqi Dune, which is thousands of miles away, and the culture of the Han Dynasty. What he wanted to understand was not just superficial exchanges between the two countries at the diplomatic level, but more through Bata I don’t know if there is any inherent merit in this culture. After all, it has been nearly four hundred years since the establishment of the Han Dynasty. The political system and thinking have been solidified. It seems rigorous, but there are invisible shackles that restrict today’s scholars. His thinking has lost a bit of the open-mindedness that the sages had when they founded the doctrine, and they have begun to reject foreign cultures.

This is not a good phenomenon in Chen Mo's opinion, so he wants to know more. Batagan is a rare entry point. Although Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions made people know that there is a wider land outside the Western Regions, it seems that no one I feel the importance of those foreign cultures, or in other words, everyone is rejecting these things.

Chen Mo wants to absorb more foreign cultures and integrate them into his own teachings, so Batagan is very important to Chen Mo, but if this puts Chen Mo in danger, it is impossible.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, will that Dugu tribe reject us because of our identity as Han people?" Dian Wei pulled Lao Zhu and almost pulled him off the horse.

"What? Are you scared?" Zheng Tu looked at Dian Wei and smiled teasingly.

"Am I afraid?" Dian Wei smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and patted the bag wrapped in sheepskin hanging on the horse's back, where his two iron halberds were wrapped: "If we really want to fight, we still don't know who will win and who will lose. !”

Although there are not many people brought by Chen Mo this time, they are all elite men who have followed Chen Mo for several years. Gao Shun personally selected and trained them. They can be said to be the elite among the elite. As long as the terrain is suitable, they can be equal to ten. No exaggeration.

"Brother Dian, don't worry, these Xianbei people usually don't dare to mess with my Han people." Lao Zhu said with a smile. Although the Han Dynasty has never been able to eliminate the grassland forces, since the Han Dynasty, although the evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been more derogatory than praised in recent years. , but when it comes to foreigners, the Han has always had an overwhelming advantage. After the decline of the Xiongnu, although they continued to fight for years, neither the Xiongnu nor the Xianbei have the courage to launch large-scale battles against the Han anymore. Lienan went to grab some food and then ran away immediately. The big man would be pulled over as a thug when needed. Now he had to rely on traders like them to exchange for some necessities. Most of the time, as long as he didn't mess with them deliberately, they would be fine. look for a job.

Of course, it doesn't mean to be groveling. The people on the grassland are tough and tough. Just because they don't offend you doesn't mean they are afraid of you. If you dare to go to other people's tribes and make unreasonable troubles, these people will never tolerate you.

"Brother Zhu, there are more and more people on the road today. How beautiful are the women from the Dugu tribe?" Chen Mo looked around and met many people, some alone and some in groups. They seemed to be a tribe. Yes, it was hard for Chen Mo to imagine that a woman could have such great charm.

"I have never seen this before." Lao Zhu shook his head and said, "But I heard that Tuoba neighbors from the Tuoba tribe are also here this time. The Tuoba tribe seems to be intending to move inward in recent years."

Tuoba Lin?

Chen Mo thought for a while and nodded: "This man is the son of Tuoba Yi, the leader of the Tuoba clan. I heard he is brave and good at fighting."

"You know what?" Lao Zhu looked at Chen Mo with some surprise. Why did he feel like Chen Mo knew everything.

"I know a little bit. After all, I am coming to Xianbei to do business, so I know more about it." Chen Mo laughed and said, before he came, he had learned everything he could about the situation in Guan Yuyunzhong and even the leader Shanyu. , Don't fight an uncertain battle, even if this trip is not a battle, Chen Mo will definitely be fully prepared.

"My dear brother, you are too cautious." Lao Zhu shook his head and said with a smile: "Trading businessmen like me, how can we usually see such people?"

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded, did not say anything more about the matter, and turned to ask some questions about the Dugu Department.

"Although this Dugu tribe has the blood of my Han family, after all, hundreds of years have passed, and this relationship has long faded." Lao Zhu shook his head and said, not to mention that hundreds of years have separated more than ten generations, even if it is two or three generations, If we don't interact with each other, the affection will be weak.

"Nowadays, the Dugu tribe is actually not much different from the Xianbei and the Xiongnu. You have to say how beautiful it is. It is common for tribes on this grassland to be attacked. Occasionally, the children of these tribal leaders are thrown out and sold. "Of course she is much more beautiful than ordinary Xianbei and Huns women, but it's not that mysterious to say how beautiful she is. These people are probably all looking for Tuoba Lin," Lao Zhu said with a smile.

Although the children of tribal leaders have been riding horses and shooting arrows since childhood, their food and housing are naturally much better than ordinary women. This is similar to the Han family. Women of ordinary families also have to work in the fields. It is difficult for you to work in the fields. When you see a beautiful woman, after all, women are generally judged to be fair and beautiful. Working in the fields every day basically has nothing to do with fair skin.

Not to mention other things, Chen Mo's mother also gradually became a bit noble in the past few years because she was well fed and clothed and did not have to work in the fields. When Chen Mo was a child, his skin was red and cracked.

As for why Tuoba Lin came here, from Chen Mo's point of view, it is most likely related to the Tuoba tribe's desire to move south. This place in Yunzhong is rich in water and grass, and there are several rivers. This Huanggan Water is one of them, nourishing This land, used for farming, still lacks moisture, but it is considered dry land and can be used for farming and grazing, which is more than enough.

Chen Mo still had a smile on his face, but his words gradually became less and less. There was a solemn look in his eyes that was difficult for others to notice.

Tuoba Xianbei is a large Xianbei clan in central China. If they intend to go south, does it represent the attitude of the entire Kuitou Royal Court?

Yunzhong is at least nominally the land of the Han Dynasty. It is not that Chen Mo would not accept it if he wanted to move inland. But as the governor of Bingzhou, he could accept that Xianbei was attached to the territory instead of moving into Han territory without anyone's order. Although this is now the case There are no more soldiers and horses stationed in the Yunzhong area, and there are more and more barbarians, but at least this thing in name, no one can touch it, it belongs to you.

"Lord, what's wrong?" Wang Biao approached Chen Mo and asked in a low voice. He had watched Chen Mo grow up, and no one else noticed anything unusual about Chen Mo, but Wang Biao was keenly aware of the aura emanating from Chen Mo. The momentum is different from before.

"I can't say for sure yet." Chen Mo fumbled with the mane of the war horse and looked at the road ahead and whispered: "But Tuoba Lin's appearance here makes me very worried."

The move of closing Yanmen first seems to be the right move. Although there is not much difference between the original luck and the change of closing the party, the system gods obviously cannot judge things further away. In other words, what the system gods judge is One's own status, but this kind of general trend thing requires one's own judgment.

"But it's necessary..." Wang Biao's eyes turned cold and he quietly made a motion of cutting his throat.

"We are not assassins, and we cannot put ourselves in danger. Even if we want to kill Tuoba Lin, we cannot die in our hands." Chen Mo still had a smile on his face: "It is best to die in the hands of the Xianbei people themselves or the Huns, Uncle Wang Remember to restrain everyone, I won’t offend others unless they offend me, we are here just to watch.”

"Here!" Wang Biao nodded and said no more.

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about?" Lao Zhu slowed down his horse and walked side by side with Chen Mo again, asking with a smile.

"Uncle Wang asked me how the daughter of a leader of a prairie tribe compares to the daughter of an official from the Han family?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"There is no comparison with this." Lao Zhu groped his chin and said, "This Xianbei woman has been riding horses and shooting arrows since she was a child. Although she is vulgar, she has a unique flavor."

As long as a man starts talking about women, he will always have endless topics to talk about. Therefore, if he wants to change the topic or break the awkward situation, talking about women will never lack things for men to talk about.

"What is the Dugu tribe doing to recruit relatives this time?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"I can't say for sure. According to their rules, there are competitions for everything, but most of them are competitions on horseback shooting, wrestling and horseback riding." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

"Archery is not good at this old school." Dian Wei said depressedly when he heard this. His skills were all above close combat, and he only started practicing equestrian skills after following Chen Mo.

"Hey, most tribes usually recruit warriors by selecting warriors within the tribe. Although they also invite outsiders, like this time the Dugu Tribe does not invite many from all ethnic groups and even Han people." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

"Why don't you come up? My master's archery skills are pretty good." Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and said.

"I already have a wife." Chen Mo smiled when he heard this and said, "I just don't know if the patriarch of the Dugu tribe would like his daughter to be my concubine."

"It depends on whether Brother Chen can control it." Lao Zhu laughed when he heard this: "This Xianbei woman is so fierce and cruel!"

"Then I really came at the right time this time. I want to see how fierce this barbarian woman is!" Chen Mo raised his neck and showed a smile that every man understands.

"Hahaha~ You are still young and you don't understand some things." Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and his smile was a little bitter.

Chen Mo glanced at Lao Zhu and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a group of people running towards them in the distance.

"What? Are you here to trade again?" Chen Mo looked at this group of people and dressed more like Han Chinese.

"It doesn't seem like it, Brother Chen. In this Hu people's territory, sometimes encountering Han people is more terrifying than meeting Hu people. They kill their own people, but they are not merciless at all." Lao Zhu frowned. Frowning and just about to say something, Chen Mo's expression suddenly changed and he pulled Lao Zhu over. Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow passed through the place where Lao Zhu had been.

"Protect the boss!" Chen Mo didn't need to say anything. Wang Biao had already ordered his men and horses to protect the surroundings. Chen Mo's eyes flashed with anger and he didn't waste any time. He just bent his bow and set an arrow. Lao Zhu wanted to stop it, but the arrow had already left the string and he shot an arrow from a distance. Seeing that the arrow failed to achieve success, the man was about to shoot again, but the cold arrow cluster had pierced his neck.
