Chapter 31 Escort
"Second brother, Jimo has transported so many cows again!" Xiaohu looked at the black herd of cattle and felt a little proud in his heart. Those Mahan people were already dumbfounded, and the five hundred cows of the previous day had already shocked them. Just a few days later, another thousand ploughing cattle were transported. Could it be that the Yun family can't herd cattle.
"A few days ago, we had to transport a four-wheeled carriage, so it took up a lot of space. This time, it was all ploughing oxen, and there were no other supplies, and a thousand heads were all transported. I heard that the Hou of Jimo looked greedy and sent someone to ask the Hou Ye for it.
I heard that the third uncle sent more than 3,000 heads in Chang'an, and he must have arrived in another ten or twenty days on the way. Just in time for spring sowing, the fields here are different from those in Guanzhong. You have to soak in water before planting, but the rice is much better than that in Jiangnan. But we Guanzhong people still like to eat pasta. Hundreds of bags of Shandong flour were brought with the ship, and you and the fourth uncle took some. ”
Little Bear looked at the Mahan people who were cultivating cattle as if they were alien creatures. His eyes were full of disdain, and there were tens of thousands of cattle in the Yun family's herdpen, and there were no sheep. If these turtles saw this, they didn't know how to feel.
"Second brother, I see that there are a lot of sneaky people in this city. Could it be the spies that Dai Ye said? Xiaohu squinted at the bustling idlers on the periphery of the docks, who neither worked nor did business. Just sitting there and looking at these ploughing cattle can light up in their eyes.
"Master Hou won't let these people move, but these guys are honest. If you really dare to make trouble in this city, see that I don't take their eyes out and step on them as a cannon. The bear glanced at the idlers. Yun Xiao's order he had to carry out, but these Benhan people really didn't have anything to do. It's just that the sunrise goes into the city to sit idly, and the sunset goes out of the city to go home. It's also a good thing.
"Hou Ye said that spring sowing is a big plan that cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, what will we use to feed these hundreds of thousands of mouths, and wait for the autumn harvest to clean them up. The rabbit's tail can't grow, so you don't have to worry about it, second brother. I heard that the eldest brother cut off the arms and legs of the old man of Jiujiang in Jiangnan, and the Hou Ye was worried about this matter. Afraid that the King of Jiujiang would wait for an opportunity to retaliate, he had already asked the eldest brother to hide on the island in the middle of the lake.
The thirteenth uncle is in charge there, damn the king of Jiujiang, if the old Wang Ba dares to touch the eldest brother, a single hair. Lao Tzu burned his palace of the bird king and peeled off the skin of this old bastard. ”
Xiaohu's whip was flicked. He said viciously.
"Rest assured. Big brother will be fine there. I don't dare to borrow that old Wang Ba, but you should be careful on the way back. Don't be like your second brother, who was ambushed. ”
Little Bear still remembers the last attack, but Evil Sun Ridge is the only way to get to the Great King City. No matter how you go. I still can't avoid it.
"It's okay, second brother. If these bastards dare to beat the master's idea. See? The 500 brothers were not vegetarians either. Xiaohu nodded at the guards who were eating and resting.
"Xinding! Hou Ye sent someone with 500 new dings to hold these thousand cows? Little Bear recognized at a glance that these were not veterans who had fought on the battlefield, but recruits who had only been recruited last year. Although outsiders can't see it. But the people of the Yun family could see the difference between the two at a glance.
These newcomers are more immature, and less calm and murderous in those veterans. Moreover, none of these newcomers have their own mounts. They can only sit in four-wheeled carriages and improve their mobility. At this point, there is still a gap with the old guards of the Yun family, who are extremely mobile.
"Master Hou is training these people for military formation drills, and these five hundred people are chariot soldiers. You don't need to participate in drills, that's why you're sent. Otherwise, you have to send someone to escort you, second brother. A few days ago, when Hou Ye was taking the school exam, I watched it. These new guys are well trained, at least not bad at crossbow skills.
There are a few archery skills that can catch up with the fourth uncle, that's it. Three arrows with one stone, and the arrows can hit the heart. The fourth uncle said that when he was young, he might not be able to do it now. ”
"That's the humility of the fourth uncle, killing three birds with one stone. When you really go to the battlefield, in addition to wasting arrows and having a bird, spend time practicing this flashy thing. One arrow can kill, why use three arrows. Anyway, you take these new dings with you, and be careful. ”
"Knowing the second brother, these guys have also eaten well. I'll go first, and I'll have someone bring you some rice wine from the palace's secrets." I heard that the cellar has been stored for more than ten years, before the Hou Ye ordered the cellar to be sealed. I made a few jars, and the wine was so good! ”
Xiaohu looked fascinated, and Xiaoxiong slapped Xiaohu viciously.
"You kid, why didn't you bring it to my brother this time. Underwhelmed! "The little bear has a virtue with the bear, and he has a soft spot for wine, and it is natural to hear that his cousin has good wine to hide.
"When I went out this time, I was called by the Hou Ye to give a lot of instructions, so I didn't have time to take it. When you return to Dawang City, I will definitely send someone to bring it to you. Well, it's not too early. I'll go first!"
It was very warm at noon in early spring, and Xiaohu took a large cart with five hundred soldiers. Hundreds of other servants drove their cattle out of Seoul.
The chariot soldiers are divided into three sections, front, middle and back, guarding the huge herd. Xiaohu rode a horse with a dozen followers and walked in the middle of the team. The sun in the sky was shining brightly, and it was very warm on my body.
"Little Tiger Master, are we really not going back to Guanzhong?" One of the attendants asked as he walked.
"The imperial court doesn't want to see our Hou Ye, and the hundred miles around Lishan Mountain are our family's. But the Empress Dowager has to send us to the Xiongnu border. It's a fucking place where you fight with your brothers all day long, and it's cold in the winter. The princes of the imperial court did not see the past one, and he damn let our Hou Ye go and fight the Huns.
If you go to that hellish place, you might as well make your own place here. Why, there is a little lover in Lintong. Got it on track? ”
"Little Tiger really guessed, but it's not our Lintong, it's in Chang'an City. I am going to be accepted as a concubine after the New Year, and you see that it will be delayed when he comes out with the Hou Ye. ”
"It's okay, Master Hou can't lose you. When there is nothing to do in the summer, you can ask someone to take it. In addition to the steamed buns in this place, there is no need to be strong. Hou Ye said, there is still a piece of land over there. There is gold and silver growing in the ground, as long as we take it, it will be delicious and spicy. You can fuck it and spend it however you want. ”
"Really ......" The entourage all gathered around and listened to Xiaohu tell these secrets.
"That is, when did Master Hou deceive you Qiu Ba. If you look closely, there is the Evil Sun Ridge in front of you. My second brother has suffered losses here, and they all cheered up. Don't follow the villain's way, and shout out to those sleeping in the car. All the fucking eyes widened for Lao Tzu. ”
The afternoon sun was warm, and the soldiers in the carriage had just had lunch. One by one, they slept salivating in the carriage, and the entourage listened to Xiaohu's words. Hurriedly slapped one carriage after another, so that the soldiers cheered up.
However, many of the chariots just opened their eyes, changed their positions and fell asleep again. I woke up early this morning, so it's a good time to catch up on sleep.
"What's the matter! Isn't it the Evil Yang Ridge, and we ...... it when we pass in the morning."
One of the guards stood up on the cart and stretched his waist widely. A bolt slammed into his neck, causing his voice to cripple out. He collapsed in the carriage with a twist.
Almost at the same time, countless arrows flew out of the woods on either side. The cart's box board was shot with a crossbow arrow, making a "do" and "do" sound. The guards around Xiaohu were immediately shot down five or six, but fortunately, Xiaohu was quick to hide in a stirrup and dodge.
But the mount under the crotch was instantly filled with arrows, and the horse fell down with a scream. One of Xiaohu's legs was suddenly pressed underneath, and he couldn't pull it out.
The whole team exploded in an instant, and the ones immediately scattered and fled. The already chaotic formation was even more chaotic, and some of the ploughing cattle who were hit by the arrow ran around even more frantically. It doesn't matter if it's a person or a car, it's all going to hit it to the death.
Xiaohu roared loudly on the ground, but no one could hear his roar in such a chaotic situation. Just as a few attendants pulled the little tiger out from under the horse, rain-like stones fell from the high cliffs on both sides. (To be continued......)
