The team started roughly from the later Achit town of the western foothills of Sazedeg Mountain, and then walked all the way to the northwest.

"About three hundred miles, we will encounter a big river, which is called the Kama River by the Bulgarians south of the dark forest, and in front it is called the Perm River."

"Perm River? What's the point?"

Hearing the three words "Perm", Sun Zhaoxi suddenly became interested - on the world map drawn by his father, on the west side of the Saridege Mountain, there was the name Perm. Of course, this map is only one in this world. Sun Xiurong passed it to his eldest son, which was a secret map.

As for why he had never been to those places, Sun Xiurong had always been very secretive. Sometimes when he was really impatient, he would send it with a sentence "Jewish merchant".

If it weren't for the safety of his son, Sun Xiurong wouldn't have made this map public.

Of course, since there is "Perm", there is naturally "Moscow", although these places are still a forest.

Bayan said: "The dark forest looks like Slavs. In fact, there are some people living among them. These people also have white skin, but they look like Xianbei people in the East, with wide faces and prominent cheekbones."

"It is said that they originally lived in the lower reaches of the Kama River, but now the Bulgarians stayed. After the Bulgarians arrived, they retreated to the north. After the Viajikis came, although the levels of spiritualization between the two sides were similar, the Viajikis were large after all, so they rushed into the upper reaches of the Kama River until they were close to the Sazedeg Mountain."

"When I came here a few times ago, I happened to meet the Bulgarians who came to catch their lives. The people here only left their shacks and rushed into the dense forest..."

Sun Zhaoxi asked, "How could the Bulgarians not wait for you?"

Bayan smiled and said, "I am also the son of the Khan of the largest tribe of Kimak. I brought dozens of people, all of whom are warriors of the tribe. Even if I meet the Bulgarians, I am not afraid. In fact, in the last encounter, our tribe defeated them and killed them about 100 people."

“The Bulgarians have rarely arrived in the upper Kama River since then”

"These people call themselves Ugors, but the Bulgarians call them Perm people. In the Bulgarian language, Perm has the meaning of a white Xianbei, which means these people. It is strange that these people are raising cattle and sheep, but not horses, and can also raise wild boars and reindeer in captivity, and farm the land. The level is higher than that of the Varyags."

"They also respect women, and their weapons are mainly wooden sticks and stones, but they are not long houses, but shacks. A couple and their children live in a large shack. Although they are still mainly mothers, with the arrival of the Viajikis and the Bulgarians, the status of men in the tribe has begun to be highlighted."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Bayan's face.

Sun Zhao cursed: "Did you think of something good again? Why don't you tell me it out quickly!"

Bayan quickly accused him of crime, "Crown Prince, I didn't mean to hide it, but I just remembered that I followed the people from the clan here a year ago to come here with them. By the way, I'd better call them Perm people and exchange supplies with Perm people."

"They don't care about clothes and other things, but they are extremely jealous of iron tools, especially iron weapons. The one-handed horizontal knife produced by our Great Qin Kingdom can be replaced with three girls in one hand, and there are iron pots, hatchets, iron hoes, etc., which are nothing like gold in their eyes."

Hearing the word "girl", Sun Zhaoxi suddenly thought of the Viajiki people with more women and fewer men, and asked: "Are they also more women and fewer men? How many people are there?"

"Of course there are fewer people than Viajiki, but it is said that north of Viajiki, from the dark forest to the tundra, ice fields, and sea, there are still many people like them, and there are still 100,000 people. The Perm tribe is the largest, and there are tens of thousands."

"Of course there are more women and few men. There should be two or three thousand people in Perm, and the entire Perm tribe is spread throughout the upper reaches of the Kama River."

Sun Zhaoxi thought to himself: "Is my father just for the population here? They are all wilderness people, and it is very difficult to tame them. It is better to search from the Tang Dynasty and Tubo."

In this way, the team walked northward at a speed of thirty miles a day in the dark forest of winter, and ten days later, a strongly frozen river finally appeared in front of them!

In order to avoid conflicts with the Perm people, before approaching their stronghold, the team deliberately circled around about ten miles downstream of the stronghold. When the Perm people discovered them, the team had already appeared on the river surface of the stronghold.

"Dongdong..."

Although the Perm people were still in the Stone Age, it did not prevent them from using big drums made of wood and cowhide. When the team appeared on the ice of the Kama River, a large group of people wearing thick animal skins sounded in a shack on the north bank of the river, similar to the later Soren people, and a large group of people wearing thick skins appeared on the bank.

At this time, the Perm stronghold was not in the city of Perm in later generations, but in the place where the Chusovaya River, a tributary of the Kama River, flowed into the mainstream. In addition, not far away, the Selva River, a tributary of the Chusovaya River, flowed into the mainstream. At the intersection of the three rivers, fishery resources are naturally extremely rich. In addition, the nutrients brought by the river water are also rich in animals and plants. At this time, building a stronghold at a high point in the river bank will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Especially in high-altitude places like Perm, when the river surface is frozen strong in winter, it is a good time to fish.

A large hole was created on the ice surface, which was so refreshing to lure, fish or fish with light. At this time, because human activities were not too frequent and fish resources were extremely abundant. When a large hole was opened, the oxygen suddenly became abundant here, and a large number of fishing catches could be caught without light.

Furthermore, the intersection of the three rivers can create a large number of swamps and sandbanks. The soft soil can grow various grasses and bushes. It is a paradise for minks, birds and foxes, and is naturally also an excellent place for humans to raise livestock.

Therefore, whether it is primitive humans or later generations who have firearms and wield the Chasic Saber to explore everywhere, they will choose to build strongholds where the rivers meet. Of course, using the river channels to explore everywhere in winter to facilitate the retrieval of the way.

Seeing this, Sun Zhaoxi was not panicked.

Since it is the intersection of the three rivers, the river surface here is extremely wide, almost three or four miles away. On the ice surface of the river center, Sun Zhaoxi raised his telescope.

"Well, there are about two or three hundred young men and women wearing reindeer leather coats and holding single bows with only two feet of bow. Look at that look, at most three or four fighting power. The arrow branches are thick and short, and the arrows are mostly made of bones or stones. There is no tail of arrows, and the range is really worrying."

"People's hands have cut wooden spears one by one. Some of them are holding short axes with sharp stones tied to them. Most of them are painted with black and red in various eye-catching colors, and are filled with ghost-like figures."

One of them attracted him.

It was a woman, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her outfit was completely different from that of others.

The white mink hat and the fiery fox skin protect the neck, but it was a coat that seemed to be made of snow-white animal skin. If Bayan hadn't lie, it would have been the huge white bear's fur on the north seaside.

A red gem hung on her forehead, the gem was heart-shaped and was very eye-catching in the telescope.

It really looks like a "white Xianbei":

Her skin is fair, with a blush in the cold weather, thin eyebrows and big eyes, but her face is similar to the Tieli tribe where Bayan is located. Such a face is everywhere among the Turks, Khitans and Mushi people in the north of the Mobei!

But such a face seems very decent to such a girl. By the way, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as beauty.

This person's plump chest was covered with various decorative ornaments made of gems, and it was a bit inconsistent when suddenly appearing on her in white clothes.

"Shamanism"

Sun Zhaoxiu, who has been practicing shamanism with Sun Xiurong since childhood, can see the origin of this person at a glance.

She is a great shaman of the Perm tribe!

“Fight our flag!”

Sun Zhao issued an order.

So, a flagpole was about one zhang high, the flag was about six feet long and three feet wide, and it was red all over. The golden tiger gun and cannon were crossed and embroidered, and the white flag appeared on the river surface!

The total weight of this big flag is about twenty kilograms. Gao Juren held it with one hand effortlessly, and then a group of people walked towards the stronghold in the north.

Even the Viajiki people in the wilderness era, the Perm people should have heard of it, although it is still circulating in the tribe in the form of a "legend".

Although wild, after facing enemies like the Bulgarians, the Permians would instinctively ask where the Bulgarians came from, who were in the south, and who were the enemies they were afraid of. Moreover, at some times, out of greed for cherishing animal skins, many Xhosa merchants would also take the courage to go deep into the dense forests for trade, which would allow the Permians to get some information outside the dark forest.

For them, the Bulgarians were invincible, while the Khosa people were even more unattainable. The Kimak people were both enemies and friends (under the influence of the Snow Ye Army, the Kimak tribe of Huriji began to give up using force to suppress the surrounding tribes, but instead exchanged more valuable things with the tribes with the supplies they got from the Snow Ye Army). The Snow Ye Army and even the Great Qin Kingdom were existences that could only be looked up to.

And this flag is the symbol of Shattered Ye Jun!

In the telescope, the girl's tense face seemed to relieve a little, but for a moment, then someone shouted again.

At this time, Bayan, who knew a little about their language, could only go on.

Because these tribes have been in a state of seldom interacting with the outside world for a long time, they use very few words in daily life, but there are still words like "friends, enemies, trade".

With Bayan's mastery of Perm's language, these words can only appear intermittently.

"Shred Ye Jun-Friend-Trade-Not afraid!"

But the other party was still silent. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot from the Bulgarians or Viajikis.

After a while, Sun Zhao took out something from his waist loop. It was one of the few short guns in the world. All of them were made by Sun Xiurong himself. There were not a few of them in total, and one of them was given to Sun Zhao.

Sun Zhao pulled out the thin wooden stick inserted into the muzzle and raised the short gun.

When they saw the short gun, everyone in the squad showed a look of awe. They had only seen such short guns on the King of Qin!

"Bang......."

A special muffled sound echoed along the empty river surface with yellow smoke.
