Sisi let Sun Xingyao and Yun Ruibo choose two horses, and then gave the remaining horses to Master Yang, who taught riding skills to the women and children in the family.
Master Yang was delighted to see so many fine horses. "These horses look fast."
"Of course, if someone comes to steal something, you have to run fast, otherwise you'll have worked for nothing if they catch up with you."
Sisi chatted with Master Yang for a while and then went to find Yun Yuqi.
Yun Yuqi was very happy to see Sisi take the initiative to come to him.
As soon as he smiled, Sisi looked at him and said, "When you were fighting those barbarians, I noticed a lot of problems. Call the others over and I'll tell you about them."
Yun Yuqi: "..." Daughter, can't you talk to your father about something private? "Okay, I'll go and call your uncle and the others right now."
Sisi listed out all the problems Yun Yuqi and the others had, and then told them how to fix them.
Meanwhile, the tribe that came to steal grain today had already roasted their sheep, but the people who went out to steal the grain hadn't returned yet. In previous years, the people who went out to steal grain would return before the sheep were even cooked.
Many people are starting to worry, but they dare not say it.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Finally, even the leader began to worry.
So the leader sent a few people to see what had happened.
Soon, the people who went to see them returned.
Upon returning, they reported that the people of Jinchao were harvesting crops, while their own people had vanished without a trace.
The leader was a little confused.
Could it be that their people got lost?
But that shouldn't be the case. They go to rob grain almost every year; they wouldn't make a mistake even with their eyes closed.
Could it be that their people had a conflict with other tribes and were captured by them?
Thinking of this, the leader sent a few more people to inquire with the nearby tribes.
After asking the question, the leader was even more confused.
Could it be that we're really lost?
The leader hesitated for a moment before sending someone out to search.
They searched all day but couldn't find it.
The leader knew that there was basically only one possibility left.
But the leader thought it was impossible.
The Jin Dynasty was rich in resources and wouldn't risk their lives for a little grain. Therefore, they were able to plunder some grain every year.
After considering it all night, the leader decided to send another group of men to seize the grain.
However, the purpose this time was not to seize grain, but to test the attitude of the Jin Dynasty.
If the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were to fight to the death for that little bit of food, then those who went the first time would have fallen into the hands of that general surnamed Niu.
If the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty didn't fight them to the death, their men would either be killed by other tribes or encounter special situations like quicksand.
Sisi was chatting with the soldiers who were helping their family collect grain when the sound of horses' hooves rang out again.
This time, Yun Yuqi told Sisi to "be careful" and then went with Yun Yuxuan and the others to fight the enemy.
Sisi could tell from the fact that only two-thirds of the other side had rushed over that they were trying to test them.
The young general responsible for protecting everyone while they collected the grain saw that the enemy hadn't all charged over, so he sent some of his men to keep an eye on the other side, in case they fired a sneak attack.
History repeated itself, and Sisi and Lao Hei quickly seized six horses.
Those who were observing the situation discovered that Sisi and Lao Hei were a powerful weapon, so they ordered the attackers to retreat.
The attackers also wanted to retreat, but the Jin Dynasty soldiers, encouraged by their victory, were unwilling to let them go.
Those who were watching wanted to come and rescue them, but with Sisi and Lao Hei as their powerful weapons, coming over would be like walking into a trap.
Those who were observing silently apologized to those rushing towards them and then wanted to retreat.
When Sisi saw that they were about to leave, she looked towards the city wall.
General Niu nodded to Sisi. "Go ahead and shout."
The soldiers beside General Niu answered "Yes" and shouted in the barbarian language, "Hey, don't go! Don't you want your comrades? If you do, trade them horses. One prisoner for five horses, one corpse for one horse. Hey, don't go..."
Those who were watching immediately stopped. "Have you already arrested a group of us?"
"Yes. You've come to steal our grain, so of course we won't be polite to you. You can choose between the horses and your companions."
Five horses are too many.
"If you think there are too many, then we'll kill them all, and you can exchange them for just one horse."
The other person is trying to insult me!
Can the living and the dead be considered the same?
What's the point of them exchanging a bunch of corpses for a body?
The other side pointed to their comrades who were fighting and said, "Where are they? They're not your prisoners yet."
"It will be soon."
The other party might be thinking, "That's not necessarily true."
But……
The other party glared fiercely at Sisi and Lao Hei.
Lao Hei and Sisi ignored him completely.
The other party turned away in frustration. "You're asking for too much. I can't make that decision myself. I have to go back and ask our leader."
“Okay. By the way, they need to eat while we're here, right? We'll give you a discount, one sheep weighing over 100 jin a day.”
Do you still want money for food?
More than 100 jin?
The other person cursed General Niu in his heart. "I understand, I'll go back and ask our leader."
After saying that, the other person stormed off in a huff.
Sisi pointed at the charging barbarians and looked at the soldier who could speak the barbarian language, saying, "Ask them if they want to become five horses or one horse?"
"good."
After the soldier translated Sisi's words into the barbarian language, the barbarians who had rushed over stopped in frustration.
