"ah?"

"What?"

...

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, the Hu people gathered were shocked and made voices of dissatisfaction or resentment.

All of this was expected by Zhang Liao, or in other words, in Lu Bu's instructions, so there was no accident.

He just squinted his eyes and stared at the Hu man opposite him.

This was the first Hu tribe informed by Zhang Liao. According to expectations, it will most likely attract resistance.

It doesn't matter, the general is ready.

"Quiet, give me peace of mind!"

Noting the murderous intent hidden in Zhang Liao's eyes, Hedadu shouted loudly to stop the noise of the tribesmen behind him.

After calming down, Hedadu bowed to Zhang Liao again and asked:

"Please give me an envoy to show you what is the 21 ratio? How to distinguish between cattle, sheep, and horses that pay tribute?"

Zhang Liao looked at Hedadu in surprise, pondered for a moment, and immediately said:

"Of course, it is calculated by two people and one sheep. How to give it to you? You can decide internally, but every year, you must pay enough sheep to my general!"

"You can also pay tribute to cattle and horses!"

Glance at Hedadu, Zhang Liao continued:

"One ox can match twenty sheep, and one horse can match ten sheep. My general can match all kinds of cattle, sheep and horses, but half must be cattle or horses!"

After hearing Zhang Liao's request, Hedadu did not show any anger, and his expression did not change at all.

"Empress!"

Hedatu said slowly, bowing:

"It is a blessing for our Heda tribe to be able to serve the 'Flying General'!"

"But our Heda tribe is weak and pays tribute to the Koda tribe every year, this...!"

He looked up at Zhang Liao and said:

"The Koda tribe is greedy and after paying tribute to them, we really don't have the ability to pay tribute to the 'Flying General' again!"

"joke!"

Zhang Liao understood the meaning of this cunning Hu man and said with a smile:

"Since you have paid tribute to my general, you will naturally be protected. Who dares to ask for tribute to you?"

"Don't worry, wait!"

Zhang Liao smiled and said:

"As long as the tribute to my generals every year, no one can ask you for tribute to you or others!"

"I see!"

Hedadu's expression was not obvious, but his brain was running wildly and he calculated quickly.

"Compared with the Kodak tribe, the requirements for the 'Flying Admiral' are much lower!"

He thought to himself:

"The Koda tribe requires 3,000 sheep every year. Basically, as many people in our tribe have, we have to pay tribute to them!"

"The 'Flying Admiral' only has half the amount, and the proportion of cattle and horses is far better than the requirements of the Kodak tribe!"

"If you pay tribute to the 'Flying General', you can get the reward of not paying tribute to the Kodak tribe, why not do this?"

“The problem is…!”

Heddadu hesitated when he secretly looked at Zhang Liao.

"Can the 'Flying Admiral' guarantee that the Koda tribe will not come to harass our Heda tribe? Don't end up in the end that both sides will not please each other, and you will have to pay tribute!"

The grassland is good at producing cattle, sheep and horses. On average, every Hu person can have more than a dozen sheep, one, two cows, two, and three horses.

Therefore, based on the number of people, tribute to a sheep every year is actually within the tolerance of these Hu tribes.

The question is, these property are basically the property of a Hu man for the rest of his life. Who would like to share one tenth of it every year?

Moreover, it seems that there are a lot of sheep, but there are actually not many Hu people who can actually eat mutton.

Only the clan leader and the few great nobles in the clan can ensure that they can eat mutton. The rest of the Hu people eat on weekdays are just various dairy products.

Sheep give birth to two babies every year, one baby or more, and it seems that they have a lot of births, but it is also very expensive!

Those who slaughter and eat, those who freeze to death in winter, or starve to death, will also pay tribute to the powerful tribes.

All these things, calculated that each tribe will increase by no more than 30% in a year.

That's all, it's still normal.

Many times, the number of cattle and sheep will not increase but decrease!

So, although the Hu people are robbed, their lives are not easy.

Of course, no one's life is easy these days.

There is nothing right or wrong in the grassland, only strength and weakness!

The weak must bow to the powerful and endure exploitation, otherwise they will not even have the basic right to survive.

"If, if the 'Flying Admiral' can really guarantee that the Koda Tribe and other powerful tribes do not force tribute to our Heda Tribe, then...!"

Thinking of this, Hedadu was moved and had a bold idea.

"Empress!"

Hedadu bowed to Zhang Liao, took a step forward, looked up at him and said:

"The villain has a plan to allow the 'Flying General' to get more cattle, sheep and horses every year!"

"Um?"

Zhang Liao looked at Hedadu strangely and asked in confusion:

"What's your plan?"

"this……!"

Hedadu glanced left and right, moved his footsteps closer, and whispered:

"This plan is not easy to publicize. Can the emperor recommend villains to the 'Flying General'?"

“…!”

Staring at Hedadu, Zhang Liao pondered.

…………

Jiuyuan.

Lufu.

"Master, this is the case. The disciple has brought Nahedadu here. Look, do you want to meet him?"

Zhang Liao told Lu Bu all the way and asked him.

"hehe!"

After listening to Zhang Liao's narrative, Lu Bu chuckled.

"interesting!"

Without answering Zhang Liao directly, Lu Bu put his hands on his back and forth in the hall, thinking secretly.

He understood this kind of thing as soon as he heard it.

There is no doubt that the one named Hedadu is planning to be a "human traitor"!

"Take him to the horse farm outside the city to see me!"

After a moment, Lu Bu stopped and walked, instructed Zhang Liao.

…………

Horse farm.

Under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Hedadu came to the Wuyuan Han Army Horse Farm.

Looking at the Han soldiers on guard with guns around him, Hedadu was cautious all the way, afraid of getting angry.

"Get in, the general is inside!"

Zhang Liao said expressionlessly when he took Hedadu to a place where he ran and arched.

"promise!"

He bowed to Zhang Liao, walked over the door to escort the guard, and Hedadu walked inside.
