In the next few days, Batagan stayed with Chen Mo, even closer than Dian Wei, the personal bodyguard. However, although this man could not understand what he said, he was quite diligent in his work and could be said to be hard-working and uncomplaining. No matter who in the team

He works very hard when asked to do something. Even if someone occasionally scolds him for doing something wrong, he just shows a naive smile, which makes people feel helpless and funny.

"Hey, Batagan, where did you come from?" That day, Dian Wei, Wang Biao, Zheng Tu and Chen Mo were sitting on the ground eating together, looking at Batagan who was holding a piece of dough and munching on it while laughing.

, couldn’t help but ask again.

"Mengchiduna." Batagan replied.

"Ah?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo, what did this guy say?

"Mengqi Dune is a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty. I have read in a historical book that in the twelfth year of Yonghe, Mengqi Dune came to Luoyang to pay tribute. At that time, Emperor He used to guard the golden seal and purple ribbon." Chen Mo said with a smile.

.

"Master, can you understand what he said?" Dian Wei asked in surprise.

"I can only understand a little bit." Chen Mo nodded. When communicating with Batagan these days, it turns out that Batagan doesn't understand Chinese. Chen Mo relied on guessing most of the time, so he didn't learn much, but it's been a long time since he learned Chinese.

Chen Mo found it quite interesting to learn something so strenuously.

"I am...a scholar!" Batagan saw Dianwei looking at him, patted his chest and said, in Mengqidoune, he is a noble, but for the big man, he is not a scholar.

"Is that what you look like? You're just like someone fished out of a mud pit, and you're still a scholar?" Dian Wei curled his lips disdainfully, then turned to look at him with wide eyes: "You've become a spirit!"

"Do you think I'm from Bai Jiao these days?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei in a funny way, and then looked at Batagan with some confusion and said: "I just don't know why, Batagan has been trying to learn Xianbei's language from me these days.

"

"What's the use of learning that stuff? You're not the boss. It's good if you can speak good Chinese." Hearing this, Dian Wei glared at Bata Gan angrily, and instead of learning Chinese, he went to learn some bullshit.

Xianbei dialect.

Batagan looked at Chen Mo blankly. He had only learned Chinese for a few days. Dian Wei still spoke with a local accent. It would be okay if he spoke slower. How could he understand Dian Wei when he spoke so fast.

"I can't tell, he seems to have something to do." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "He doesn't know much to say now, he can only communicate briefly."

"Where is this Meng...Qidou...Na?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Xibian'er, let alone me specifically, he doesn't even know it himself. He came here from his hometown and walked for more than three years." Chen Mo shook his head. Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions as an envoy for more than ten years, but among them

There were a lot of twists and turns, and now it seems that Batagan was about the same. He spent half a year as a slave among the Xianbei people.

But no matter what, the distance in between is too long, and it is difficult to estimate how far it is. It may be more than ten thousand miles.

"Tsk, tsk~" Dian Wei glanced at Batagan sympathetically: "Can he find his way back?"

"It's difficult." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"It's not easy either." Dian Wei couldn't help but touched Batagan's bare head. Although it was not very polite, Batagan didn't seem to care about it.

"My boss, now we are deep in the Hu land, where should we go next?" Wang Biao looked at Chen Mo who was taking notes on bamboo slips and asked.

"First find more comrades and go together. Further north, there are fewer and fewer cities and fewer Han people. I wonder if these Xianbei people will still be so disciplined! The more people there are, the more courage they will have."

Chen Mo said casually.

"No...Master...Master, if you are afraid, why do you still go?" Dian Wei said incomprehensively.

"There are some things that you can't just do if you're afraid. First there were the Xiongnu and then there was the Xianbei. This evil has been bothering me in the Central Plains for hundreds of years or even longer. Someone has to solve it." Chen Mo tightened the cloak on his shoulders and looked at it.

Front said: "To defeat your enemy, you must first understand him."

"What's the use of just understanding? Just like others who want to defeat me, what are they capable of?" Dian Wei shook his head, somewhat confused. How could Chen Mo solve something that no one has been able to solve for hundreds of years?

"It's very simple. It's not difficult to lie to you. There are many ways to kill someone, including poisoning, traps, and group fights. But if you and I are enemies, I won't deliberately target you." Chen Mo glanced at Dian Wei and said: "

In matters of military strategy, you actually can't play a big role."

Dian Wei's face suddenly darkened: "Can't you be upright?"

"Knowing that you can't beat but still fighting... Using your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points, such a person usually doesn't live long." Chen Mo was probably afraid of hurting Dian Wei's self-esteem, so he thought for a while and said: "Of course, if I want to capture him alive or

Killing the enemy general is still a headache with a strong general like you by his side, so in this case, the previous methods will be effective."

Poisoning, traps, group fights...

Dian Wei suddenly felt that his safety was not guaranteed. After thinking about it, he looked at Chen Mo and said: "My boss, I think that the strategy of the King of Yue to defeat the King of Wu that you told me some time ago..."

"Beauty trap?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said.

"Yeah!" Dian Wei nodded repeatedly: "This is good!"

"This will test your wisdom." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said with a smile: "Just think, a woman who is as beautiful as a fairy, has a gentle and considerate personality, and is versatile must have some intention to suddenly approach you."

"What if someone likes this~" Dian Wei said unconvinced.

"Oh~ I hope so too." Chen Mo nodded and continued to move forward.

Wang Biaoce immediately stepped forward, looked at Dian Wei and said with a smile: "You are as beautiful as an immortal and have a gentle personality?"

Zheng Tu said cheerfully: "Being considerate and versatile? Haha~"

Hao Zhao stepped forward and looked at Dian Wei, whose face turned dark. Dian Wei glared and said, "What are you looking at? You want to humiliate me too?"

"No, General Dian, the King of Yue used the beauty trap to target the King of Wu." Hao Zhao quickly shook his head, then galloped away.

Dian Wei's face turned darker and he turned to look at Batagan. Batagan didn't know why and grinned at him.

"You're laughing your ass off, you ugly ghost!" Dian Wei snorted and rode his horse a few steps faster, leaving Batagan looking at Dian Wei's back inexplicably.

"Brother Chen!" Everyone was laughing all the way, but then they saw the merchant who had promised to help Chen Mo come forward on horseback.

"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?" Chen Moce immediately stepped forward, looked at the other person and said with a smile.

"I found it. It's a big deal this time." The other party smiled and said, "Have you heard of Tuoba tribe?"

"Aren't they in the north?" Chen Mo asked curiously. The Tuoba tribe is a major clan in this area, and Kuitou also paid three respects to Tuoba Shi, the leader of the Tuoba tribe. According to historical records, Tuoba Xianbei's ancestors can be traced back to the period of Emperor Wu.

, originated from the Liaodong area, also known as the other tribes of Xianbei. Over the years, they have experienced the Xiongnu from being weak to strong and now divided.

Duo has a very strong influence in this area today, not much weaker than Shanyu.

"Big tribes like that deal directly with wealthy merchants. How can we contact people? But this time we met a tribe of a thousand people under the Tuoba tribe. There are more than 2,000 tribesmen in this Yunzhong area.

They can be considered a big tribe. If you can get in touch with them, you will not have to worry about selling your silks and porcelain every year in the future." Xingshang said with a smile.

"Oh?" Chen Mo smiled and said, "What tribe is it?"

"Dugu."

"It's still a big tribe." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"How to say it?"

"This Dugu tribe has a deep connection with our Han Dynasty. It was created by Liu Jinbo, the great-grandson of Emperor Guangwu. He was General Du Liao at that time. He was defeated and captured when attacking the Xiongnu. He was imprisoned under Dushan and could not return to the Central Plains for the rest of his life.

Later, he married a wife and had children in Dushan. At that time, Shanyu Shili was the King of Guli. You must have heard of this, right? From then on, he was called the Dugu tribe." At the end, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh. Although the cultures of the two countries are different,

However, this bloodline has been intertwined with each other since the time of Emperor Gaozu. Not only the Dugu tribe, the Xiongnu, and many nobles in Xianbei actually have Han ancestry, the bloodline of Han clan clans is really spread all over the world.

"Brother Chen knows so much. What were the two books you read back then?" Lao Zhu asked curiously. Chen Mo told him that he had only read two volumes, but what were these two volumes? It seemed to cover everything.

, everything is there.

"There are some miscellaneous stories in the historical records." Chen Mo touched his nose and smiled.

"It's not accurate to say this, but you are lucky. The Dugu tribe is currently choosing a bride, so Brother Dian can try it out." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

"Oh?" Dian Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Chen Mo diligently.

Chen Mo nodded and glanced at Batagan who was standing aside with confusion. He seemed to be a little excited. He thought that Batagan had always wanted to learn Xianbei language from Chen Mo. Could it be related to the Dugu tribe?

"Just in time, it would be nice if we could use this to establish contact with the Dugu tribe." Chen Mo smiled and glanced at Dian Wei and said, "How far is it from here?"

"This is about fifty miles to the east, in the Huangganshui area." Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Brother Chen, we have agreed that the profits from this trip..."

"Don't worry." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Although I am young, I will practice what I preach, and I will not miss 30%!"

"Yes, I know Brother Chen is a man who can do great things! He will definitely have a bright future in the future!" Lao Zhu said with a smile.

"I accept your good words." Chen Mo smiled, without comment, and immediately led everyone on the way, heading east along the Huanggan River. Along the way, Batagan became taciturn, and even when Chen Mo wanted to chat with him, he became taciturn.

Be absent-minded.

"Do you know the Dugu Department?" Chen Mo asked suddenly while looking at Batagan.

Batagan was startled when he heard this, looked at Chen Mo, and then nodded, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Is there anyone you care about?" Chen Mo asked again.

Batagan looked at Chen Mo, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Mo.

"It doesn't have to be like this. If I can help you, I will help you. But if I can't, I won't interfere, but I won't risk our lives to help you."

"Thank you... thank you!" Bata Gan said with difficulty.
