Looking at the charging cavalry, the leader did not panic.
He calmly comforted his men: "Don't panic, these troops will not harm us.
You can even ask them for directions and find a suitable tribe for trade."
Soon the other party came to the front.
The leader walked forward with a smile on his face, holding the prepared gifts.
"Greetings, officers and soldiers, we are a caravan from Dayuan, and we have brought you the goods you need most.
Could you please tell us where we can find a tribe to buy goods from?
Our products are of good quality and reasonably priced.”
A smirk appeared in the army commander's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"It's a caravan, great! Your goods from Dayuan are in short supply, come with us.
I promise to accept all your goods."
After hearing what the other party said, everyone in the caravan was very happy.
I didn't expect to meet customers as soon as I entered the grassland. After all, the entire caravan consumes a lot of money every day.
If you can sell them out earlier, you can save a lot of money and make more profit.
The leader immediately called on everyone to follow the cavalry to find the tribe.
He also inquired about the news from time to time and asked about the prices of cattle and sheep on the grassland.
I want to buy a batch of sheepskins and ship them over.
If you can buy cattle and horses, you can earn more by taking them with you.
The other party answered intermittently, with a smirk of triumph in his eyes.
The caravan quickly arrived at a place where the army was stationed.
The leader of the caravan was very confused.
Are they looking for the tribe to negotiate with? Why are there only troops here?
I quickly asked, "Why did you bring us here, sir? Does your army want these goods?"
"Of course. The army has so many people, so of course they need everything."
The team leader was relieved a little, forced a smile, and said quickly: "That's good, let's do the business quickly, we have to go back after we sell the goods."
"Where are you going? Where are you going?"
The team leader was stunned. "Of course it's Dayuan! Now that the road is repaired, we have to transport the next batch of goods."
The barbarian cavalrymen were too lazy to pretend at this moment, and a ferocious look appeared on their faces: "You are all slaves now, you can dream on if you want to!
Someone come, arrest them all.
Put them in shackles and send them to work."
Everyone in the caravan was stunned.
This was also their first time to do business on the grassland, but they had heard that doing business here was very profitable.
As long as you don't encounter horse bandits on the grassland, you will be very safe.
Unexpectedly, he encountered barbarian soldiers who not only wanted to rob his goods but also wanted to capture his people.
If the goods are lost, the most you can do is pay compensation, but if people are left behind as slaves, that would be worse than death.
The team leader hadn't expected the situation to get this far, and asked hurriedly, "Why are you arresting us when we're here to sell goods?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Anyone who talks nonsense will be executed on the spot!"
A horsewhip came over and knocked the team leader to the ground.
A deep red mark appeared on his face.
His skin was torn and blood was all over his face.
The others were so frightened that they stood there in silence, not daring to say a word.
Looking at the ferocious barbarian cavalry around them, everyone was trembling with fear.
Now they finally confirmed that the barbarian soldiers were not joking.
But they really wanted to steal the goods and arrest everyone.
I really don't understand why this happened.
If they do this, who will dare to ship goods to them in the future?
Caravans from other places suffered the same treatment.
Next time, we will trick them into joining the army and seize the stolen goods.
Either keep it in the army or sell it to the tribe.
Those who stayed behind were in a miserable state. Some of their clothes were even stripped off and they were shackled and enslaved.
If you dare to run away and are caught, you will be beaten up, and in serious cases, you will be killed.
The scale of the caravan of Ye is relatively large.
The opponents they do business with are all large tribes.
We have reached a long-term cooperation.
After the goods are delivered, we will directly contact the tribe to trade.
These tribes will also be prepared with money, sheepskins and livestock.
In addition to using the purchased goods themselves, they will also sell them to other small tribes, thus making another profit.
But this time when the caravan arrived at the grassland, they also encountered barbarian cavalry.
"The caravan from Dayuan is great! Our tribe is in need of goods. Come with us."
The leader was a strong middle-aged man who said with a bow, "My lord, I'm very sorry, but our caravan is heading to the Ada tribe.
These goods were reserved by them in advance and cannot be delivered to your tribe.
If you need any goods, please leave a list and we will send you the next batch."
Seeing that they could no longer deceive the caravan, the barbarian cavalry stopped pretending.
He drew his weapon and gave the order: "Take them all down!"
The people in the caravan were shocked.
He often traveled on the grasslands, and even encountered the military, they were very welcoming.
I've never seen anyone forcibly snatching goods.
However, they have undergone rigorous training and can deal with any emergency.
When they saw the cavalry, they were all standing next to the carriage.
For where they stood there were crossbows and weapons.
When you encounter danger, you can immediately pick up weapons and fight.
All ready to take orders from that guy.
The leader did not immediately order a resistance.
Instead, he continued to explain patiently, "What does this military sir mean? We have been supplying goods to the grassland for many years to help your tribe survive.
We have no way of treating the Ada tribe well by forcing our goods away.
Please give me some convenience, General, and tell me the location. We will definitely deliver the goods to you next time."
As he said this, he took out a bag of silver and wanted to bribe the other party.
I didn't think too much about the situation and thought the other party was just looking for trouble and extorting some benefits.
This kind of situation has not been encountered before on the grassland.
But this time the barbarian cavalry was not as easy to talk to as before.
Holding a weapon, he threatened, "We'll give you one last chance. If you don't follow us, don't blame us for being rude."
Feeling the other party's murderous intent, the team leader was extremely shocked.
The forced seizure of goods indicates that something must have happened on the grassland.
After all, the Ada tribe that they need to supply goods to is quite large, and even if they encounter barbarian soldiers, they will give them face and will never steal their goods.
We do support it but we can’t just sell the goods.
In order to make the other party let down their guard and seize the opportunity, the team leader pretended to surrender.
He quickly said, "Sir, calm down, we will go with you.
Let the Ada tribe wait a little longer and we will supply them with goods next time."
Seeing that he was willing to follow them, the barbarian general's expression relaxed a lot.
He didn't want to take action right away.
After all, the caravan is large and has many people.
If a fight breaks out at this time and someone is killed or a horse is injured, it will be inconvenient to take the matter with you.
If someone takes the opportunity to escape, the news may be leaked.
Once they are brought to the military camp, they have no way to escape and can only surrender obediently.
"You're quite sensible. Come with us. The price we offer will definitely not let you suffer a loss."
