Qirige replied: "It's called the Sangye River. It is said that its source is in the legendary holy land Sangye, which is the largest and oldest holy place in Zen Buddhism."
Lin Ye nodded and looked around. There was no trace of joy on the faces of these herdsmen, even if their cattle and sheep were fat.
There is only worry on their faces, and they are no longer worried all the time.
The clan is weak and weak, so life depends half on luck and half on luck.
In fact, if a large group of horse thieves comes, the people of these small tribes can still resist if they unite.
But it is impossible for them to unite. When one tribe is attacked, other tribes still hope to take this opportunity to run farther.
However, the river is curved, and hundreds or even thousands of members of their tribe are blocked at the bend of the river, as if they are being held in a pocket. How can they escape?
Lin Ye asked Qirige: "Can you summon all the leaders of these tribes as a captain?"
Qi Rige nodded: "Okay."
Lin Ye said: "Then help me gather them together and tell them that all the cattle and sheep of their small tribes have been selected as commercial goods to be sent to Dayu."
Qi Rige was stunned and asked Lin Ye: "Do you really want it?"
Lin Ye said: "If I can win, of course I will. If I lose..."
He looked at the mountains opposite.
Of course Lin Ye couldn't see if anyone was watching them in the depths of the mountain forest, but he knew there would be someone watching.
Qi Rige turned around and left. As a captain of the Dongbobian Military Academy, it was indeed not difficult to convene the leaders of these small tribes for discussion.
Lin Ye and his men sat and waited by the river. Pang Panghai took off his shoes and soaked his feet in the cool and clear river water.
It was rare to rest, and I felt the coolness coming from the soles of my feet reach straight to my heart. That feeling really refreshed my whole body.
He couldn't help but hum a little tune, looked this way, looked that way, and then saw a few people downstream holding water to drink.
He quietly took his feet back.
When he soaked his feet and rubbed them, the water flow became muddy one by one.
"General, are we really going to fight here?"
Pang Panghai probably felt a little guilty and sorry for the good guys drinking water below, so he deliberately found a topic.
Lin Ye didn't answer, just nodded, and he still looked into the mountains with his clairvoyance.
In the mountain forest, on a big tree, there was a man who looked particularly majestic, and he was also looking at the forest leaves with clairvoyance.
"Something's wrong."
The man muttered to himself.
Sitting next to him was a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He raised his head and asked, "Brother Su Sang, what are you saying is wrong?"
The man named Suesang is the eldest son of the leader of the Lulan tribe and the number one warrior of the Lulan tribe.
He looked at it and said: "Look at the attire, the guy with the clairvoyance is just the captain of the frontier army, how can he have clairvoyance?"
The young man nodded when he heard this: "People in the border army, not even generals, don't have that stuff."
After the Lulan tribe was killed several times by the Dongbo army, only one or two thousand men in their prime were left.
There are only two clairvoyants in the entire tribe, and one of them was captured when they resisted the Loufan people.
"These people think they are so smart."
Shusang pointed to the other side of the river: "A group of soldiers were sitting there to rest, but the captain went out to do business alone."
The young man's name was Chi Yan. He asked, "Brother Shusang, do you mean that those guys are not soldiers at all?"
Shusang replied: "I don't know if they are soldiers, but I know they are definitely not Dongbo soldiers."
He put down his clairvoyance and said, "Go and ask my father to come. I'll keep an eye on it from here."
Chi Yan immediately stood up, moving as nimbly as an ape, scurrying back and forth on the tree at an extremely fast speed.
On this side of the river, about half an hour later, Qirige summoned the leaders of a dozen nearby small tribes.
Some of these tribes have more than a thousand people, while some only have a hundred or eighty people. A dozen tribes together cannot have a total of seven or eight thousand people, and the number of strong men who can fight is estimated to be less than a thousand and five.
After Qirige brought everyone over, he introduced them: "This is General Lin from Dayu."
Lin Ye stepped forward and said: "I am here to purchase supplies on behalf of the Beiye Army. For convenience, I changed into the clothes of the Dongbo Border Army."
These tribal leaders nodded repeatedly. It seemed that because they knew that Lin Ye was Dayu's general, the expressions on their faces and their eyes also changed, especially after hearing the words "purchase".
Lin Ye looked at one of them: "How many cattle and sheep can you sell now?"
The leader of the small tribe must have understood what Dayu said, so he quickly replied: "There are more than thirty cattle and seven hundred sheep."
Lin Ye pretended to be dissatisfied: "So few?"
Another tribal leader quickly said: "I have more here. We have more than a hundred cattle and more than a thousand sheep, which are very fat."
Lin Ye didn't mention horses, and they didn't mention horses either, because there was no need at all, because one of the few things in Dongbo that strictly prohibited private transactions with beauties was horses.
Lin Ye said: "It's not big enough."
He looked at Qirige: "Let them all talk about it, and then count how many cattle and sheep there are."
Qi Rige then asked again, and those people responded in a variety of ways.
Qirige looked at Lin Ye and said, "Rough calculation, the cattle and sheep of these dozen tribes exceed 20,000."
Lin Ye said: "Then tell them that I want all 20,000 cattle and sheep, and let them allocate manpower to gather all the cattle and sheep."
Just as Qirige was about to speak, Lin Ye said, "Tell them again, because our team is still halfway there, so they have to send out their prime men to escort the cattle and sheep to the border."
Qi Rige looked at Lin Ye: "Do you really want it?"
Lin Ye: "Just tell them what I said."
After Qirige finished speaking, the tribal leaders were obviously happy, and the gloomy look on their faces suddenly disappeared.
They warmly invited Lin Ye to have dinner with him tonight. They wanted to prepare a bonfire for Lin Ye and prepare delicacies from each tribe.
Qirige whispered to Lin Ye: "Are you going or not?"
Lin Ye said: "There is no need for a campfire, and there is no need for delicious food. As long as we can eat enough, tell them to just prepare a tent for us to rest."
Qirige nodded and went to talk to those people again.
Lin Ye turned back to Pang Dahai and said: "Divide the people into three teams and take turns on duty tonight. Tell everyone not to leave the tent too far. Even if you are defecating and peeing, you must stay nearby."
Pang Panghai responded and immediately went to deliver the order.
Lin Ye called another young man over: "Su Mohai, do you still remember how you came here?"
Su Mohai nodded: "Remember, you can't make a mistake."
The best thing about this young man is his memory. No matter how long he walks, he can remember the place he goes to for the first time.
Because of this, he was selected by Lin Ye to join his personal army.
Lin Ye said: "Call Li Da and Wang Qingshou. You will eat more in a while, and then rush back after dark to deliver a message to General Feng."
Su Mohai responded immediately.
Lin Ye looked around and saw faces that were a little distorted because of happiness.
It is naturally a good thing for people from these small tribes to be able to sell their cattle and sheep at once.
The most important thing is that with the foundation of doing business with a beautiful woman once, they feel that they can still do business with a beautiful woman in the future.
When another group of cattle and sheep grow up next year, they may be able to sell them all to beauties.
Lin Ye sat down by the river, took off his boots, and put his feet into the cold river water to relax.
He couldn't help but let out a low groan, and then he saw Pang Panghai drinking water from his hands about two or three feet away.
Lin Ye silently took his feet back.
In the forest, an old man with the same majestic figure came next to Su Sang. He looked to be in his fifties.
Although his hair is somewhat gray, his complexion is dark, and his face has many wrinkles, he does not look old.
"Daddy."
Shusang pointed to the river: "Those wearing border army uniforms are probably not real border troops. As soon as they arrived, they called the leaders of the small tribes by the river over, as if they were discussing something."
The old man beside him is Aijin from the Lulan tribe, named Berkner.
"Don't worry even if you are not a frontier army in winter, the things we have saved this year are enough."
Berkner said: "Last year, the border army ambushed in Xingyue Lake. Bo Chi and Gu Yuanqu's troops were completely wiped out. The border army got an advantage. There is no doubt that they will come again this year."
Su Sang nodded: "Then don't touch them, I just feel something is wrong."
"Brother Su Sang, look."
Ruler Yan pointed to the other side of the river: "People from various tribes seem to be driving their cattle and sheep to one place. Why is this?"
Berkner said: "Maybe someone came to collect it... No, who would collect so much at once."
Suesang said: "Dad, how many people should I bring over to have a look at it at night?"
Berkner hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Go, be careful, and try not to cause any trouble."
"knew!"
Su Sang responded and looked at Chi Yan: "Go and pack your things and come with me tonight."
Che Yan immediately laughed, turned around and ran back to pack his things.
Early the next morning.
Lin Ye stretched his body after getting up. He walked to the river and took a deep breath of the sweet air here.
At this moment, the beautiful girl who stopped him yesterday came over, and several men on horseback came with her.
She jumped off the majestic war horse and walked directly to Lin Ye alone, without any shyness or coquettishness of a Central Plains woman.
The few fierce-looking knights did not dismount, but just watched from a distance.
She walked up to Lin Ye and smiled without saying anything, her eyes seemed to be filled with light.
"You must be a beauty."
She suddenly asked in Dayu's words, which surprised Lin Ye.
"I can speak your words. Every year, many caravans from Dayu come to our tribe to do business. Your words are very nice, so I have been learning."
She reached out towards Lin Ye again, but Lin Ye, a coward, subconsciously took half a step back.
Seeing Lin Ye's reaction, the girl couldn't help but laugh again. She wasn't angry at all. She showed her beautiful little tiger teeth when she smiled.
"My name is Shise, ten of ten, color of color. I asked a learned old gentleman among you beauties to pick this name for me."
Lin Ye: "Why are you named Shise?"
The girl said: "The old gentleman said that there are ten colors in the world, divided into upper five colors and lower five colors, which add up to ten colors. He also said that I was born beautiful, and even all the colors in the world are not as good as mine."
Lin Ye nodded: "What a good name."
Shise asked Lin Ye: "What are you here for?"
Lin Ye: "I just came here to take a look."
Shise raised his finger and pointed at himself: "Then look at me. I'm prettier than them all. Don't look at them, just look at me, okay?"
