Chapter 602 Savage?

"A messenger sent by Yuan Shao?"

As Tadun spoke, he stretched out his big hairy hands, grabbed a handful of chopped mutton, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.

"Yes, sir." The herdsmen on the side said in awe: "Those people have hundreds of riders, all wearing armor and well-equipped. They seem to be protecting some important person under Yuan Shao's command."

"Hundreds of pieces of armor?"

Hearing this, Tadun narrowed his small eyes with a greedy look.

Armor, that’s a good thing! The Wuhuan people had many strong horses, cattle and sheep, but they did not have the various craftsmen of the Han people. It was easy to make simple weapons and bows, but it was not that simple to make armor.

Armor mainly consists of leather armor and iron armor. Iron armor is more difficult to make than leather armor, and chain armor is more difficult to make than pierced armor. A good pair of chain mail takes one to two years to make, and it requires an old blacksmith who is proficient in this art. Although chain mail is easier to make, these Han craftsmen are unwilling to spread the word, so The armor-wearing rate of the Wuhuan people was not high, and it was far behind the Han army.

Fortunately, Wuhuan warriors are proficient in riding and shooting, so they don't have to fight the enemy in close combat, Tadun thought.

Yuan Shao sent people to find him, what could happen?

"Invite the envoy from Yuan Jizhou to come in." Tadun ordered Nu Yan, the guard beside him.

"Yes, sir." Nu Yan nodded and walked out. Not long after, he led a well-dressed Confucian scholar in, and behind him were two armored Han warriors.

This Confucian scholar was Xu You. He smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I, Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, come in the name of Jizhou Shepherd Yuan Gong to pay homage to Chanyu."

"Hahaha! It turns out that he is a talented person under the command of Mr. Yuan. I am really disappointed to welcome him. Mr. Ziyuan, please take a seat quickly." Seeing Xu You come in, Tadun was extremely enthusiastic and greeted him quickly, as if he was talking to Xu You. Personal relationships are excellent.

Seeing Tadun being so enthusiastic towards him, Xu You secretly rejoiced: Tadun is so enthusiastic, it seems that the dispatch of troops later should be a sure thing.

Tadun smiled and said, "I live in a humble place, but Mr. Ziyuan makes fun of me."

Xu You waved his hand and said: "Where is it? Chanyu's residence has a unique and exotic atmosphere. It is an eye-opener for me."

"Haha, Mr. Ziyuan is our distinguished guest. Wuhuan people always treat distinguished guests warmly." Tadun smiled and clapped his hands.

"Come here, bring up all the wine and meat for the distinguished guests, and treat Mr. Ziyuan and his subordinates to a feast."

After hearing Tadun's order, it didn't take long for seven or eight Han women to walk in from outside the tent. They were painted with makeup and powder, and their skin was smooth. They were very different from the Wuhuan women who had been exposed to the wind and sun all day long. There was a lot to see. The Wuhuan guards were stunned.

Xu You was used to seeing the world in the Central Plains, so naturally he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he secretly laughed in his heart. After all, he was a barbarian, and he wanted to stare out his eyes even though he was just a little tall.

These Han maids were carrying trays with silver plates containing various cuts of beef and mutton, ingredients and wine. They gently twisted their waists and came forward to place the beef, mutton and wine on the table. Above, he whispered: "Please enjoy, sir."

Xu You nodded, showing a haughty expression, but said nothing.

After several Han maids retreated, Tadun smiled and said: "This Chanyu has nothing to entertain Mr. Ziyuan. There are many cattle and sheep under his rule. Let's invite Mr. Ziyuan to eat some beef and mutton and drink wine as a companion." .”

"Thank you Shanyu for your hospitality. I am deeply grateful."

Xu You smiled at Tadun, then picked up the knife, stuck a piece of mutton on it, grabbed the sleeve of the robe with one hand, and put it into his mouth with the other hand.

As soon as he chewed it, Xu You frowned. The smell of mutton was too strong, and he subconsciously wanted to spit it out. However, when he saw Tadun looking at him with a smile, he had to force out a smile. After chewing a few times, , barely swallowed.

That's all, for the sake of my lord's great cause, I, Xu You, will be patient.

"Haha, what do you think, sir?" Tadun asked with a laugh.

"Haha, the delicacies outside the Great Wall have a unique flavor, which really opened your eyes." Xu You calmly put down the knife, cupped his hand and smiled.

"That's it, let's eat!"

After Tadun gave the order, the Wuhuan people in the tent who could not bear it all cheered in low voices, and then lowered their heads to eat. Some people used a knife to pierce several stacks of mutton, stuffed them into their mouths, and chewed for a while, showing an expression of enjoyment.

What's more, they don't even use the knife prepared on the plate, just grab the strips of beef and mutton and stuff them directly into their mouths, and devour them. He nonchalantly grabbed the wine bottle with his big oily hands, poured wine into his mouth, and chatted with the people around him from time to time. He laughed and spit out beef and mutton foam, and Xu You couldn't help but frown.

Barbarians! They are really barbarians, with no grace at all. If it weren't for the Lord's great cause, a ghost would come to such a place to suffer.

Xu You snorted in his heart, but there was still no expression on his face, and he still had a smile.

Tadun was eating meat while chatting and laughing with the people around him. In fact, he was inadvertently observing Xu You's expression. There was a cunning light in his small mung bean eyes, which was completely inconsistent with his rough appearance. After all, the leader who could take over Qiu Liju's position and command the three counties of Wuhuan could not be a reckless man without any brains.

"Mr. Ziyuan, are you full?" Tadun asked with a smile.

Xu You cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Shanyu for your hospitality. I've had enough wine and food to fill you up. I'm really gracious to you."

"Oh?" Tadun frowned and said with a strange smile, "But it seems that the meat on Mr. Ziyuan's plate has not been used. Mr. Ziyuan doesn't seem to have a big appetite."

Most of the people sitting here were from Wuhuan, and they were accustomed to eating beef and mutton on weekdays. The meat in front of them was naturally swept away in a hurry. Even the two warriors around Xu You ate all the beef and mutton, but Xu You couldn't stand the smell, so he only ate a little.

Countless Wuhuan people looked over, but Xu You's head turned very quickly and said with a smile: "The Shanyu invites you kindly. If you don't eat enough to satisfy yourself, how can you eat beef and mutton?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Ziyuan is indeed a scholar. He is really eloquent. I admire him very much!" Tadun laughed, feeling really happy about Xu You's words.

"Remove all these things!"

"Now that Mr. Ziyuan is full, we should be able to talk about business." Tadun straightened his upper body and smiled.

Seeing Tadun being so solemn, Xu You also straightened his back and said, "It should be so."

"Mr. Yuan Gong recommended a certain Chanyu a few months ago. I am very grateful for his kindness." Tadun said, "But I don't know what the purpose of Gong Yuan sending Mr. Ziyuan is?"
