Chapter 259: Grace and Might
After returning to the Great Horde, the various armies sent out to fight the Xiongnu also began to come back, some sent back a team of men and horses, and some returned as a whole team, without exception, each batch of troops came back, all brought back a large number of captured Huns, horses, cattle, sheep and livestock, vehicles and materials, etc. In a short time, more than 10,000 Xiongnu prisoners, hundreds of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep herds, as well as a large number of vehicles and materials were gathered, and they were still increasing.
However, the area of the camp of Tousu is not large, so it cannot accommodate so many people and livestock, so Gao Yuan ordered that the Xiongnu prisoners be imprisoned in the camp, and all kinds of materials and vehicles can only be stacked in the open space of the camp at will. Cattle were kept outside the camp, including some soldiers, who camped outside the camp for the night, and at the same time ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to celebrate the victory of the assault.
In the middle of the night, the various armies also came back one after another, but there were still two cavalry armies outside, but they also sent people back to deliver the letter, because they had pursued the Xiongnu tribe nearly a hundred miles away from the camp at this time, and they could not rush back tonight. By this time thousands of sheep and hundreds of cattle had been slaughtered, thousands of fires had been lit, cattle and sheep had been set up and roasted, and hundreds of cauldrons had been erected to cook broth. Of course, Gao Yuan did not let his guard down, leaving enough soldiers to patrol and garrison.
After a long march, although the soldiers rested for the night, they were not completely tired, and immediately fought another battle, and now the soldiers are indeed exhausted, and when fighting, the soldiers can still grit their teeth and persevere, and now they have broken through the camp of the Huns and achieved a phased victory, so the soldiers can finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a rare moment of relaxation.
And although the soldiers' rations were guaranteed during the march, they ate all the steamed bread at the time of departure, and at most they were roasted on the fire, and sometimes they could only eat cold food and drink cold water, which was comparable to drinking steaming broth and roasting beef and mutton now. Therefore, the soldiers also relaxed, gathered around the fire, enjoyed themselves, drank soup and ate meat.
In addition, the Wu'an army also collected more than 1,000 jars of wine from the Huns' camp, and the plateau was also scattered to the soldiers, but each person did not get much wine, only one bowl, because there was not much wine in the Hun camp, and now it is not really possible to sit back and relax, so the plateau did not dare to let the soldiers drink more.
Gao Yuan, Li Yinghong, Yuan Xuan, Jiang Huanwu and others walked around the camp and visited the soldiers before returning to the camp. At this time, Ling Feng had brought Ah Ran Shi Qimo and the others, all of them had washed the dirt on their bodies in Wuliangsu Lake, and everyone had changed into dry clothes, and the people with long hair had also tidied up their hair, and they all looked more energetic.
At this time, the barbecue dinner outside the camp began, and the strong smell of barbecue meat could be smelled in the camp, which also made these people salivate, because during their detention in the Hun camp, the food they ate was not much different from the feed of cattle and sheep, and at least they had not received the smell of meat for more than ten days, and now they were free, smelling the smell of meat, many people couldn't help it, and a few people who were impatient asked Ling Feng when they had something to eat.
At this time, Gao Yuan and the others came back, and immediately ordered, lit a few bonfires, set up cattle and sheep, set up a large cauldron, and began to cook soup and barbecue. And the group of people was also divided into five or six piles, more and some less, and sat down on their own seats, and then they all stared at the cauldron of barbecue on the fire, swallowing their saliva.
And Ling Feng also came to Gao Yuan and sat down, and said, "Brother Gao, how is it now." β
Li Yinghong said: "They seem to have divided into several groups?" β
Ling Feng said: "Yes, in fact, they are classified according to tribes, mainly divided into three groups, one is the Wusun tribe headed by that Ah Ran Shi Qihuan, there are more than 20 people; the other is the Lou Fu clan, the leader is the Heru and Heshu brothers, with more than 30 people, which is the largest group among them; There is also a Yiqu clan, the leader is called Tabby, and the number is also more than 20 people. The other tribes, because they were too few to form a group, gathered together, and although they were the most numerous, they had no leader, and they were very loose and could not be compared with these three groups. The people of these three groups had little contact with each other, and it can even be said that there was some hostility, and it was said that during their imprisonment, they often fought with each other over food, and the Xiongnu did not care, at least ten people were killed. And when I was taking a shower just now, I almost got into a fight. β
Li Yinghong said with a smile: "Xiaofeng is really good, with such more than an hour of effort, he can figure out so many things." β
Gao Yuan also smiled bitterly, sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, this sentence is really not wrong, it is a prison, more than 200 prisoners, and it is actually divided into three groups. He said, "Did the army's regulations tell them sΓΉ? β
Ling Feng said: "It's all said. β
Gao Yuan said: "How did they react? β
Ling Feng said: "Ah Ran Shi beggars are okay, others have some disagree, because they are Heru and Heshu brothers, they don't seem to be very satisfied, I seem to have heard someone say that there are such strict rules, let's just go, but I don't see who said it." β
Gao Yuan nodded, according to what Ling Feng said, he saw that the brothers Helu and Heshu were two big men, powerful and powerful, about thirty years old, with their eyes rolling, their lips were pursed, and their voices were the loudest, but they spoke in the language of their tribe, and no one could understand what they were saying, and they let out a burst of laughter from time to time, which was quite unruly; Ah Ran Shi and his gang were not as flamboyant as them, and they spoke softly; The other group had little to say, and Tabby was a man in the prime of his forties, looking around, and twice made eye contact with the plateau, but immediately avoided it. The others were divided into three piles, and they were separated from them by a certain distance.
Jiang Huanwu said: "It seems that the Helu and Heshu brothers are most likely to jump out." β
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "If it's just like this, I'm afraid it won't, but we can push them." β
At this time, some of the meat had already been roasted, and under the signal of Gao Yuan, Ling Feng also took a few soldiers to distribute the barbecue meat to them, these people had not eaten barbecue for a long time, so as soon as the barbecue was delivered, it was immediately torn apart by everyone, and they didn't care about the hot hands, and Long ate it happily. The brothers Heru and Heshu also tore a large piece of meat and chewed it heavily.
Now there is not much barbecued meat, so it will be eaten in a while, and the people of the other gangs are still sitting and waiting with peace of mind after eating the barbecue, but Heru and Heshu brothers are a little impatient, staring at the barbecue for a while, Heshu finally stood up and came to the barbecue rack, although he hesitated, but seeing that no one came to stop him, he still took a piece of beef that had been roasted, and also took away two sharp knives for cutting meat on the side. When Heshu returned to his gang, it also caused a cheer from them, and the two brothers immediately cut the flesh with knives and dispersed it to the others.
Seeing that Chishu went to get the meat by himself, several other groups were also a little eager to try, but Ah Ran Shi Qimo and Tabby both stopped the people in their own group and did not let them go to get the meat. After a while, one of the other group finally came out, took a piece of roast meat from the fire, and returned to his place. At this time, several other groups saw that the barbecue meat could be eaten at will, so they also sent people to the fire to get the meat.
At this time, the second piece of barbecue meat in the Lou Fu clan had been eaten, and Heru took the meat cleaver and came to the fire again, just at this time there was a group of people who were taking meat, and Heru pulled him by the back of the neck, pulled back a few steps, pushed it away, and was about to take the meat. Of course, the man couldn't hang up and shouted a few words to Heru, who immediately turned around and yelled at him.
The more noisy the two became, and the closer they got together, they were almost about to fight, but fortunately, at this time, Ah Ran Shi Qimo and Tabby both stood up and came over and separated the two of them, so they didn't fight.
Gao Yuan and the others have been secretly watching their actions, and Gao Yuan smiled: "This is a bit interesting. β
And Ling Feng was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and said: "It's a pity that there was no fight." β
Gao Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, this fire must be burned slowly." The broth is almost ready, Xiaofeng, go and give them the broth. β
Ling Feng nodded, immediately got up, and took the soldiers to distribute broth to them. Everyone was talking with their mouths full of oil, when the broth was delivered, everyone was naturally happy, and everyone made a bowl full of broth, and drank "Gollum" and "Gollum".
After a bowl of broth was put into the stomach, the whole body was warmed up, and everyone began to be a little excited, and the people who spoke quietly just now were louder, and those who spoke loudly were even louder. And with the experience of the last time, everyone was also let go, and after drinking the broth, they spontaneously went to the big pot to make the broth and drink.
Heru stood by the cauldron, drank two bowls of broth in a row, and touched his lips with his tongue, feeling that there was something unfinished, thinking about it, he took a few steps to the front of Gao Yuan and the others, holding the empty bowl and said: "Master, it's not addictive to eating meat and drinking soup, it's good to have some wine to drink, I see how many jars of wine there are, can you give us a little to drink." We have appointed you our master, and it is only right for us to give us a little wine to drink. And his eyes turned and stayed on Li Yinghong's face for a while, and there was a hint of obscenity in his eyes.
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Xiaofeng, go and give them wine." β
Ling Feng agreed, and immediately got up to get the wine again, and Heru went with Ling Feng, not forgetting to look back at Li Yinghong.
