There are also many Yuezhi tribes. This time it was because of the conflict between the Agudamu and Hadanbaater tribes that they met here to discuss and resolve it.

Now is autumn, a good time to fatten the cattle, sheep and horses.

Once this time is missed, this winter will be even more difficult for them.

If cattle and sheep don't have fat, they won't have much meat. They will lose fat in the winter, but it can't be improved. In the end, it's not an exaggeration to say that they have no meat, but that they are skin and bones.

Originally, one sheep was enough to eat, but now two had to be slaughtered.

As a result, the tribe's strength will be greatly reduced in the coming spring. This is a series of tricks.

It’s not just cattle, sheep and horses that are damaged, winter also poses a huge threat to people.

In the past, winter was also the season with the worst population losses.

Therefore, according to the rules on the grassland, grazing is usually dispersed in autumn so that the cattle, sheep and horses can eat fat.

When winter comes, we gather together to keep warm and support each other to survive the winter.

Now it is somewhat difficult to send people to find those scattered tribes, and it will also take longer.

But regarding the issue of the Yuezhi's future destiny, the Yuezhi King had no choice but to agree.

As for the Han envoys, King Yuezhi did not neglect them. He had enough beef and mutton to feed them every day, and drank mare's milk as he pleased.

In addition to being uncomfortable eating, the biggest problem faced by the Han mission was indigestion...

The Han envoys who used to be unable to walk and drooled all over the place when they saw the meat now stretched out their hands and pushed it to others.

"Han Envoy, it's time to eat..." Achar walked into the tent carrying a roasted whole lamb and looked at Lu Jia happily.

"No... I won't eat... You can eat..." Lu Jia looked at the roasted whole lamb that Achar was carrying, and suddenly felt timid. Looking at the clear soup boiling in his pot, he felt extremely...

of kindness.

"Hey, just eat a little bit. I can't finish such a sheep. If the king knows that I have eaten all the sheep, I'm afraid he will die." Achar still put the sheep on his own.

on the pallet.

Taking advantage of the situation, he glanced at the pot set up by Lu Jia.

The so-called pot is actually the helmet of a Han soldier.

Wash it clean, turn it upside down, and put it directly on the fire to cook.

There are two types of helmets worn by Han soldiers, one is made of leather and the other is made of copper. There are very few iron helmets. Except for generals, no one wears them and they cannot afford them.

The one in front of Lu Jia is made of copper. After all, it is also a traveling group, so it still needs to be strong.

"Huh? Han envoy, do you want to eat this?" After seeing what was in the pot clearly, Achar's expression suddenly changed.

"Yes, this meal of meat is too much for your body. Eat something else to get used to it." Lu Jia stirred the soup in the pot and planned to eat it after a while.

"Han Envoy, you can't eat this. This stuff is poisonous. Even a horse won't be able to survive if you put this pot into it." Achar quickly took the pot down and poured the pot of soup directly on it.

On the ground.

"Poisonous?" Lu Jia was slightly panicked. Fortunately, he thought about letting him cook for a while. Fortunately, Achar came, otherwise...

The consequences are disastrous...

"Of course it's poisonous. Last year, several of my sheep ate this and died. They didn't even dare to eat the meat. It's such a pity!" Achar said, pointing to a green plant on the ground.

Then I felt that just saying this was not enough. What if the Han envoy ate other poisonous things?

These days, he has been taking advantage of the Han envoys. His treatment in the royal court has skyrocketed. He has meat to eat and wine to drink. These days are so comfortable that he doesn't even want to go back.

Of course, the most important thing is that his mission is to accompany the Han envoys, chat with them, and see if he can come up with something to say.

Well, Achar feels that his efforts are useful.

Although I also talked a lot to the Han envoy, what did I say?

Parents are short-tempered, some tips on life, are they called secrets?

But it was different when it was phrased out. Every sentence made King Yuezhi feel that it was worth it.

Achar felt that it must be his sincerity that impressed the Han envoy.

So, he went on to say: "Han Envoy, there are still a lot of poisonous things on this grassland. If you want to eat some wild vegetables or something, you can tell me and I will go outside to find some for you. Don't do it in the future."

Dare to find and eat it by yourself."

Lu Jia suddenly had an idea.

The food culture in China is different from that in the grassland.

The main food here is meat and wild vegetables, while in China it is all kinds of grains.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. To sum up, the grassland people are mostly quite strong, their bodies are shiny, and they even look oily.

Typically there is no shortage of oil or meat, but indigestion is also very common on the grasslands.

In China, there is no problem of indigestion. Grown food is easier to digest, supplemented by wild vegetables, etc.

But because of the lack of meat, people look thinner.

Today I almost ate these poisonous grasses, so in the future when the Han army soldiers send troops to the desert, they will definitely encounter these poisonous grasses.

At that time, the rations of Han soldiers will definitely change to meat and wild vegetables.

Then they will face two problems, indigestion and how to identify poisonous vegetation.

If he hadn't encountered this problem today, Lu Jia would not have thought of it for a while.

If this problem is discovered after the army goes out for battle, it will be too late, and this problem may directly lead to the failure of a war.

So, Lu Jia asked directly: "Achar, what do you think of the armor and weapons on him?"

"Okay, very good!" Achar nodded repeatedly with gleaming eyes.

The elite troops of the grassland peoples wore leather armor, and to show off, the regimental guards wore iron armor.

The two are not at the same level at all, although the armor of the missionary guards has been weakened for the convenience of the mission, and the total weight of the whole body only weighs twenty kilograms.

But even so, it is not comparable to those leather armors.

The weapon is a sword. The sword is made of iron, polished to a sharp edge and shiny.

There are also iron weapons on the grasslands, but there are very few, mainly because the smelting technology is not up to par, or the conditions are too harsh and there is no way to concentrate a lot of manpower to make them.

So copper weapons are the main theme here, and only some high-ranking officers and generals use iron weapons.

Lu Jia not only coveted the war horses of the Yue clan, he also coveted the iron weapons of the Yue clan.

He asked the accompanying guardsmen, and after witnessing it with their own eyes, they unanimously concluded that the hardness of the Han sword was not as good as the Yuezhi's iron scimitar.

But things had to happen one by one, so Lu Jia decided to focus on solving problems that were easier to solve first.

"If you can find me some of the poisonous plants on the grassland, when I go back, I will give you the armor and weapons he is wearing as a gift." Lu Jia said directly.

"Seriously?" Achar suddenly became excited. What a rare opportunity.

Just find some poisonous plants to exchange for a set of exquisite armor and Han sword?

He didn't know how to use the Han Sword, but he knew that it was exquisite and beautiful, like a work of art.

"Of course it's true. Han people never talk nonsense, let alone lies. If you can do it, I will give you a set. You might as well do this. If you can find ten different ones, I will give you a set."

If I can find twenty different sets, I will give you two sets, and for every ten more types, I will give you one set, how about it?" Lu Jia promised directly.

It's just a few sets of armor. If you can exchange for so many poisonous plants, even a hundred sets or a thousand sets are still worth it.

"Okay! Okay! I'll go look for it right now..." Achar was so excited that he didn't even bother to eat the mutton, he just stepped out and ran out.

For a person who grew up on the grassland.

It's not difficult to find poisonous grass plants.

It is as simple as an experienced farmer who can tell at a glance what kind of crops they are, which ones are edible and which ones are not.

Our ancestors have grown up here for generations, and they all know some of the experiences passed down by word of mouth.

Therefore, any skill that an ordinary person can master on the grassland is what the Han people need to learn.

Lu Jia was more like being obsessed now. He felt that he couldn't just do one thing during his trip.

The King of Han is about to ascend the throne, and he is still waiting for the leaders of the various tribes of the Yuezhi to come over for discussion. Only when they come up with the results of their deliberations can the King of the Yuezhi give him an answer.

You will decide what to do when the time comes, and then return to Luoyang to resume your life.

It is not certain whether Lu Jia will be able to catch up with the King of Han to ascend the throne, but if he cannot do more work and do more practical things this time, then it is hard to say what rewards he will receive when he returns.

As for whether it's too tacky to always think about fame, that's a matter of opinion.

Without any benefit, who would be willing to take the risk and run so far?

No name, doesn't he feel good lying on the hot bed with his wife and children comfortably at home?

I give, I get, I enjoy, these three values ​​are very correct.

Therefore, Lu Jia is now like a clockwork machine.

Work hard to understand everything that you think is valuable and needs to be understood.
