Chapter 575: Reaching the Tribe

"Things are a little wrong, come and have a look."

After Li De said that, he showed them the map on the desktop, which marked the area of ​​the tribe, the approximate number of people, the approximate dressing style, living habits, and the estimated number of cattle, sheep and horses.

"Grandmaster, we have met at least one tribe, with so many tribes, with a population of no less than 100,000."

Shi Huaiyi understood that if he was to go out rashly, it might trigger a bigger battle situation.

"I'm sending some people to check and touch their details." Shi Huaiyi said.

"It's good, but you can't send a caravan to investigate through trade. I will lead the team myself." Li Dedao.

"If the Grand Governor is in danger, how can we explain to the Zun's wife?" In fact, they did not explicitly say that Li De's wife had a lot of them, but the ones who had to explain more were Pei Qingxuan and Princess Lanling.

One is a married couple, the eldest lady, and the other is naturally a princess with a unique status.

"When will you be so stingy when you do things? Besides, am I that weak? I am worried that I will protect you then." Li Dedao.

No matter what Li De said, they could only accept it. Li De is no longer the same as before. He used to be a governor who led troops, but now he is a person in charge of one side.

If they made some fork, it was not what they wanted to see. No one was a fool. If the forces in Youzhou could be brought to the Liaobei forces, the benefits to the development of the vanguard troops would be no small part.

After a while of Qiaozhuang, the caravan selected soldiers who looked a bit foreigner-like. There were many such people, and many of them were Hu.

There is nothing strange about it, even the Li family of Tang Guogong has the Hu bloodline.

Some of the soldiers of the Sui Kingdom looked very special and were too normal, most of them were descendants, and they had an advantage in language at this time.

As early as the vanguard army was formed, we knew that we would face tribes such as the Turks, so we would talk about these in previous meetings, and the common language of foreigners played a very important role in the several night attacks.

Scouts need to master a lot of languages ​​so that they can be used in an emergency.

The caravan was composed mainly of these soldiers, and many scouts were drawn, Shi Huaiyi and Luo Song personally guarded the outpost, and He Bida and Li Jing were responsible for specific affairs, while the other was responsible for the staff general to manage the internal affairs.

The carriages of the convoy have been modified. Most of them are special carriages from the vanguard and the baggage soldiers, and many things are hidden in the carriages.

People who don’t understand the mechanism of wood can’t solve it at all. If they were replaced by modern children, they would be able to solve it easily. However, even if they are masters of mathematics, masters of building blocks may not be able to solve it. If they give skillful craftsmen some hope.

The distance is not far.

The caravans dressed in various styles, and they did this on purpose, because most of the merchants who tried to hang out on the border of the Sui Kingdom were like this.

If you encounter a Turkic horse team, you can deal with it. If you see that it is all caravans from Sui State, then what will happen next may be very bad. Either you snatch it or you will directly solve the problem of robbing goods.

So, dressed in a Hu Shang look, at least in danger, you can deal with it.

The weapons guarded by the vanguard soldiers were all replaced by weapons from the Western Regions, with various spheres, mostly mainly scimitars, and the Hu people dressed up as merchants from the Western Regions.

Li De followed suit and put on makeup. He didn't say anything about it, but also guided others. The caravan looked like Pirates of the Caribbean, all full of smoked makeup.

It looks very alternative, at least it can cover up the faces of the Sui people.

"How far is it?" Li De asked.

"Not less than three miles." The scout replied.

"Shi Huaiyi asked the convoy to speed up, reminding everyone to relax and not expose their legs, and let those who know how to speak Hu's words negotiate." Li De sat in the carriage like a rich and generous young man who was pampered and lived in poverty.

Such a character setting is to prevent him from speaking easily, or even disdaining or even dislike the poor tribe, so that he will not be exposed because of language barriers.

Li De was not idle. When he was in the car, he wrote a common language script for foreign languages. Now he is a Hu Shang, so he took advantage of the time he was traveling and memorized more common sentences so that he could use falsehoods to be real when communicating with his own people.

I believe that the languages ​​of northern Liao and the Western Regions should not be incompatible.

Li De's recording method is very simple. He uses pinyin annotation method. All sentences are basically recited like this. Even if you don't remember it, you will take out a small notebook and recite it accordingly.

"Boss, someone is here." The person following the carriage reminded.

Li De could see through the specially designed refractive window without pulling the curtain in his carriage through the observation hole in the carriage.

As soon as the convoy stepped onto the edge of the tribe, a small team of cavalry came over before they could even see the tribe. Looking at the weapons on their waists, you could tell that it was not that kind of formality.

Seeing that the leather jackets on them were not armoured, the vanguard guards were not nervous when they saw the visitor. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were all good at matching ten. In addition, they were wearing chain mail, and no one could find these armors hidden under the clothes.

Although it is not as hard as the plate armor, it is sufficient to provide a certain amount of defense.

Ordinary swords do not cause much damage to them. The outer part of the chain mail is leather armor and thick cloth clothes inside, all of which have defensive power.

"Who are you? Our tribe does not welcome outsiders." The visitor said a lot, not to mention Li De, even many people who know Hu language were a little confused.

However, this just avoids embarrassment. If you don’t understand Hu Yu, then even if you say something wrong or just talk about it, the other party will not notice it.

Among the scouts of the Pioneer Army, there were really people who knew some foreign languages, which were very messy, but they just came over and could communicate and talk and gesture.

Li De saw that they had a good communication, but he didn't know what the scout said, but the person who came actually invited the convoy to the tribe.

After walking for a while, I saw the tribe. The tribe felt very peaceful. The number of people could not be counted at the wooden house they lived in for a while.

Seeing that the population is at least 5,000, it is strange that it is different from the tribe discovered by the scouts. Perhaps it is because of the wrong marking or they are going wrong.

Li De found that there must be some mistakes in this, and now is not the time to think about these things.

The scout said in detail about his communication with the other party on the side of the carriage. The scout actually didn't understand the other party's language very much, but he could communicate with each other by hand.

The caravans who said they were coming to trade were put in.

As soon as he was a businessman, he could not make the other party suspicious, so he just entered the tribe and found an open space not far from them to let the convoy stop.
