At this time, everyone in the entire northern city was shouting and stomping their feet, and the voice was like a roar of thousands of horses: "Hey, hey, Huo!" ”

And the sergeants by the war drums at the head of the city all put down their weapons at this time, picked up the drumsticks, learned from Liu Yu, and knocked up, Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi brothers even shouted while knocking, and the slightly immature children's voices were actually deafening under the mixture of this drum.

Accompanied by these rhythmic drums, accompanied by the south wind, the wind and waves rolled up, heading towards the Qin army camp in the north, and the sound of the Qin army's battle cry was instantly suppressed and inaudible.

After Liu Yu knocked on this for more than a dozen rounds, he laughed and threw the drumstick to Zhi Yanzhi beside him, he immediately followed the knock, and the Qin army camp on the opposite side had gradually quieted down.

Murong Nan's voice sounded behind Liu Yu: "It's really yours, this can be thought of for you." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned around, and said to Xu Yuanlang on the side: "Master Xu, I'll leave it to you here, everyone's morale is good, keep this momentum, we will definitely be able to keep Shouchun." ”

Xu Yuanlang laughed: "Lord Liu, you really opened my eyes today, I will definitely promote this method in all cities when I go back, oh, by the way, when will we go to wipe the mud?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "The sooner the better, you can take those plasterers to set off now, first paint the head of the city, and then the houses in the city, those are all wooden houses, it is easy to catch fire, don't be careless." ”

A moment later, Liu Yu stood at the head of the hidden urn city at the beginning, leaning on the battlements, his eyes fell to the Qin army camp in the distance, his expression was calm, Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi brothers were following Xu Yuanlang at the head of the city, carrying a few buckets of silt at the bottom of the well, following behind those plasterers, smearing these cements on the wooden pillars one by one, and more than half of the wooden buildings in the north city had become gray.

Murong Nan sighed softly: "Liu Yu, where did you learn these ways of fighting and defending?" Look at your appearance of five big and three thick, you don't know a few big characters, how can you read so many military books? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly and straightened up: "You don't need to know many words to understand the art of war." Since ancient times, generals and commanders will not be like those masters of scripture and metaphysics, so they will be mysterious, because the military book is written for the generals to read, and the content written is how to lead the troops into battle, and many of them are faced with crops who do not know a single word, and what they want is simple and easy to understand. ”

Murong Nan's eyes sparkled: "Then where did you get these military books?" I don't think you have any books at home. ”

Liu Yu smiled: "What, have you been to my house?" ”

A look of panic flashed in Murong Nan's eyes, and he shook his head: "I've never been to Jingkou, where have I been to your house." It's just that the situation in your family, everyone in the army knows about it, saying that you are so poor that you can't open the pot, and you Liu Yu are not the kind of poor scholars, if you really want to have a book collection or something, it is estimated that you will have to exchange it for money. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, it's because I'm too poor that I want to come out and fight for wealth." But to be honest, those military books are not from my family, but from Liu Fatzi, and since I joined the army, Xuan Shuai has also given me a lot of military books and strategies from their family collection, such as Liutao. Both worked for me. ”

Murong Nan smiled: "Could it be that those you just saw, hey, hey, Huo, are also recorded in the military book?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "That's not it, when we Jingkou people are fighting in groups, we have to shout in unison before we shoot, to be precise, it is the trumpet that we shouted when we were farming in Qili Township." ”

Murong Nan's eyes widened: "What, the number when farming?" Can you still shout like that? ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "That's, Brother Murong, you haven't planted the land, you don't know how troublesome and painful it is to bend down and plant rice in the paddy field, those muddy fields are full of blood-sucking leeches, sometimes when the legs are pulled out, they can be stung with ten or eight on it, bloody, I don't know how scary it is." ”

As he spoke, he flicked his trouser legs, and on his hairy calves, he could see a lot of fine and linen cuts, which was shocking, even Murong Nan, who had experienced countless fights, couldn't help but change color when he saw it.

Liu Yu sighed and said: "I just don't want to farm, that's why I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Brother Murong, when you were on the grassland, you herded cattle and sheep, it wasn't so miserable. ”

Murong Nan sighed softly: "There are difficulties in the grassland. Liu Yu, in fact, when I was born, our Murong family had already entered the Central Plains, and my understanding of the grassland was still through the elders in my family. However, they said that in the grassland, cattle and sheep have to suffer from wind and rain, mosquitoes and gadflies are the size of little fingers, there are many poisonous snakes and insects in the grass, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the half-human-high weeds. Therefore, on the grassland, even children of three or four years old must learn to ride horses and shoot arrows, and try not to go down without getting off the horse, as for bows and arrows and knives, they are sharp weapons for self-defense. ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "No wonder you have to live on horseback all your lives, it turns out that because of these, it seems that the grassland is not more comfortable than the Central Plains." ”

Murong Nan hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's not just like that." You Central Plains people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, although it is hard, but there is no danger to life, and you don't need to look at the sky to eat, unless it is a big famine, otherwise you will not have no harvest in a year, even if there is a catastrophe, there is food in previous years to eat, and you will not starve to death. ”

"But on the grassland, when there is a heavy snowfall in winter, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep may freeze to death, and then the people in the tribe will die in batches, because the beef and mutton cannot be stored for more than a year, or the large-scale epidemic between cattle and sheep may cause a tribe of hundreds of thousands of people to fall apart in an instant."

Liu Yu nodded: "So I didn't eat or drink, if I didn't want to starve to death, I had to rob it?" That's why yours have this predatory nature? ”

Murong Nan nodded expressionlessly: "It's a reason." In the middle of the country, water sources have never been a problem, but on the grasslands, if you want to feed cattle and sheep, you must have pastures with abundant water and grass. ”
