Chapter 106: The Source of the Five Hus
Dai Yu came back, and the carriage was filled with more than 200 war slaves of 100 people. Qing Jianu was tied by ropes and walked at the forefront of the team.
The residents of Dawang City looked at these ghostly people and whispered to each other. The marquis of this great man always seems to be able to win battles, and his soldiers come and go. Every time he returned, he took prisoners and captures with them.
It seems that the safety of Dawang City is absolutely guaranteed, but it is a pity that the marquis of the Han family does not believe in his people. He did not allow the people of Dawangcheng to join the army, so he could only take a hoe to farm the land or do some manual work and small business. In this regard, the young descendants of those Great King City were deeply resentful. They also want to take up arms and gallop on the battlefield.
"Master Hou, fortunately, I am not dishonored. Brought back the dog and the people that Hou Ye wanted, and confiscated some silver money and leather goods by the way. Dai Yu jumped off his horse and walked to the door of the palace and bowed to Yun Xiaoshen. The bear next to him seems to have a much bigger belly, and it is a little difficult to bend over.
"You have divided the money, and the leather goods will find someone to make some hats and gloves or something. Winter was approaching, and the cold of the day was so cold that the brothers bought something to keep them warm. ”
Yun Xiao glanced at the leather goods in the cart, thinking that the winter in this big royal city was also quite cold. So he used these things to make leather gloves and hats, and gave some benefits to the soldiers.
"Master Hou, how to deal with these people."
"The one called Qing Jianu brought in, and the others were taken into custody. There are iron mines in the mountains to the north, which require a lot of manpower. I've already sent someone to explore, and I think the results will be soon. When the exploration is over, let the sledgehammer pass them. This steelmaking is the foundation of our family, and without this steel, you will have no saber in the future. ”
The iron ore resources of the peninsula are much richer than those of the Central Plains. Yun Xiao remembered that the grade of the Maoshan iron ore mine was quite high. In later generations, it can be directly entered into the blast furnace, presumably under the refining of the sledgehammer, the Yun family's steel can go to a new level.
The generals followed Yun Xiao to the council hall, where a table of wine had already been set up. Just wait for these triumphant heroes to come back and wash the dust.
"What is the situation on the other side of the Northland, and how are the armaments of the Prudent people?" As soon as he sat down, Yun Xiao asked about Dai Yu's cautious situation.
As a nomadic people in the north, the Sushen people were able to stay close to the Xiongnu without being harassed by them. It can be seen that they have their own unique place, the Central Plains melee at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The powerful Xiongnu defeated Donghu, dividing it into two parts. All the way to retreat to Su Shen to recuperate, he attached himself to the Su Shen people, and went all the way to the Western Regions. became the current Donghu people. But Mao Dun is so fierce. but did not attack in vain. Instead, they withdrew their troops back to the steppe. did not care about the remnants of Donghu who were allowed to be kept by the prudent people.
"How can I say it? The Su Shen people are actually very loose, even looser than the Huns. The Huns had a large single Yu, while the Sushen people had many heads. These leaders sometimes fall into each other's hands. There was no unified command at all.
As for armament. Their smelting is still primitive. But there are bows and arrows and crossbows. And the power of the crossbow machine is still very strong. It's just that most of the arrows are made of stone or bone, and the penetration is limited. If you use an iron arrow, you will have no problem penetrating our armor. ”
"Oh. You mean it's even more powerful than the crossbows of the Han army? Yun Xiao listened with some concern.
"The crossbow of the Han army should be portable, and the physique of the Han army should also be considered, so it is not very strong. But the difference between the cautious people is that the cautious people are burly, and the crossbow arrows are mostly used to shoot fierce beasts. So no matter what portable or not, just seek to be full of strength. Therefore, it is more powerful than the crossbow arrows of the Han army.
However, on the whole, the armament of the prudent people is not worth mentioning. However, if they master the smelting technology, they will probably be fierce opponents. ”
"Oh, tell me a lot about the situation there."
"The people of Su Shen are divided into many tribes, and the one who attacked us was a tribe led by a man called the Qingjia Nutou. The most powerful tribe of the Sushen people is called the Tuoba clan, and I heard that there are more than 20,000 people who control the strings.
In fact, pick up the armament of the prudent people, whether it is the Han army, the Huns or our family. It's not too hard to beat them, but these people live in the mountains on weekdays. Those old forests are full of dangers, and some places have been covered with leaves for an unknown number of years. Stepping on it is like stepping on a pile of cotton, and it is impossible to walk at all.
Those prudent people usually use Lu or dogs as animal power, pulling something called climbing plows. It was summer and autumn when the last general went, and he hadn't seen that thing. However, I heard that you can walk like flying in the snow. ”
"Well, I know that. When Ben Hou has free time, draw a pattern for people to make. You go on to say. ”
"Master Hou even knows this!" Dai Yu was obviously surprised, but he didn't expect that he could tell this thing by just mentioning one name, Yun Xiao. He also wanted to force Qing Jianu to speak out.
"Master Hou knows what's strange about this. These cautious people hide in the mountains on weekdays, and Dai Ye asked me to pretend to be a merchant who collects skins. Qing Jianu, who fished out this dog's day, took someone to catch this guy. Those people are very loose, and Hou Ye doesn't have to worry. ”
In Xiao Xiong's eyes, Yun Xiao is a figure who has known 500 years before and 500 years later. Knowing the means of transport of the Prudent, this is not surprising.
"Oh, tell me. How did you fight this battle? What are the casualties? Yun Xiao saw the bear interject and turned his head and looked at the bear with a smile.
"It's still the same as in our family, first shoot with a crossbow and then charge with cavalry. There were no deaths, more than a dozen brothers were wounded, and now they are almost fine. 5,000 people fight 1,000 people, but it's not enjoyable. The bear only snatched eight heads, and the wolf couldn't rob them with more meat and less meat. ”
"Hahaha......" The little bear danced with his hands, and his honest appearance made Yun Xiao laugh.
Goshawk reprimanded on the side: "As long as you talk a lot, you don't have a proper way to talk to Hou Ye." Sit tight! ”
Xiao Xiong heard his fourth uncle's reprimand, so he had to sit down and stop talking. That simple appearance made Yun Xiao laugh again.
"Good! You're all old enough to be on your own. Your eldest brother is back too, you brother Lele. Your eldest brother will take a boat to Chang'an in two days, and you are familiar with the ground and take your eldest brother around. Yun Xiao glanced at Cang Lan, who was at the bottom of the seat, and next to him sat Zheng Bin.
Dai Yu's return is very different from them, not only did he receive the wind and feast, but he also received the palace gate in person. Canglan's heart couldn't help but be a little sour, and he only cared about eating vegetables by himself. Seeing Yun Xiao mention himself, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks. But a mouthful of food is full of words.
Yun Xiao didn't pay attention to it, and led his subordinates to drink and feast. The beauties of Jiangnan brought by Canglan and the dancing girls of Dawangcheng danced separately. The meaning of the competition is very strong, and everyone has their own unique skills. It was fascinating to see these Qiu Ba.
The feast will not stop until the lanterns are on. The autumn evening breeze was already a little cool, and the clouds whistled out of the temple gate, and a cool breeze blew. I felt a little cold on my body, and the slightly drunk drunkenness had been blown away by this cool breeze.
"Bring that Qing Jianu here, Ben Hou will try it for the first trial."
Dai Yu's words Yun Xiao listened to all in his heart, especially the Tuoba clan. History records that they flourished in Daxianbei Mountain, and later historians have verified it. Daxianbei Mountain is now the Great Xing'an Mountains.
If they have mastered the technology of iron smelting, they will still be a little skilled. Yun Xiao also remembered this sentence that it was the invasion of China by the Hu people led by the Xianbei people that made Ran Min appear in China hundreds of years later. A killing order made many Han people cry and break their liver and intestines.
The southern invasion of the Xianbei clan almost destroyed Chinese culture, and the Han people north of the Yellow River were almost wiped out.
For the sake of future generations, for the sake of the Han nation. Yun Xiao was thinking about whether to strike first.
The dense forest blocked Yun Xiao's ambitions, and the Yun family's cavalry was of no use there. Maybe this Qing Jianu is a person who can be used to contain the Xianbei clan. Stand in the way of the Xianbei Clan, for only those who belong to the forest can fight in the forest. In Yun Xiao's eyes, Qing Jianu is the one who belongs to the forest.
Qing Jianu was pushed up, and it seemed that Dai Yu hated him extremely. It can be seen from the whip marks on his body that this guy has suffered a lot.
"Let go of him." Yun Xiao commanded.
The two guards stepped forward and cut the ropes that bound Qing Jianu's body, and Qing Jianu tried to stand up while rubbing his numb wrists. But as soon as he stood up halfway, he was kicked by the iron guard in the crook of the leg, and he knelt down again with a "poof".
"Don't do that, let him sit down and talk. He may not have eaten yet, so someone will get him something to eat. ”
Yun Xiao is kind-hearted, but these guards are Dai Yu's sworn friends. got Dai Yu's order, just waiting to give this Qingjianu a click.
But Master Hou wanted to give this guy something to eat, and the guards stared at him and didn't know what to do. Dai Yu has already returned to the inner house, and it is obviously inappropriate to disturb it at this time, and it is too late to say more.
"If Master Hou wants to get food, I'll get it for him. Put a lot of spicy seeds, and besides, this guy may not know how to use chopsticks. Let's ...... Hey, hey, hey."
"Wonderful, that's a great idea."
Yun Xiao looked at the sluggish Qing Jianu and didn't know how to speak. Qing Jianu sat on the chair, and was uncomfortable with Yun Xiao. At the same time, I'm also curious about this four-legged thing under my ass. Not to mention, it's quite comfortable to sit up.
A short time later, a steaming bowl of noodles was served. There are still two large slices of meat floating on it, but this bowl of noodles looks oily and delicious, but there is a huge amount of chili oil underneath. It's just that I didn't dare to let Yun Xiao see it, so I had to put it at the bottom of the bowl. This bowl of noodles is absolutely spicy enough to be the limit of human tolerance.
This Qing Jianu was also very hungry, but he couldn't use chopsticks. I didn't know what to do with the steaming noodles, so I grabbed it with my last ruthless heart.
His action startled Yun Xiao, and he immediately reacted. This guy definitely doesn't know how to use chopsticks, and he sees that this Qingjianu is as hot as a monkey. couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and suddenly Qing Jianu shouted "ah". The soup bowl in his hand was pushed to the ground and shattered, and a tongue stuck out like a dog. (To be continued......)
