Chapter 446 We are transporting cattle and sheep in the mountains
In the snowy night, the grassland is vast and empty.
The not-so-high snow wall keeps people and cattle and sheep together for mutual warmth.
The men in Xiao'an village distributed some of the dry food they brought to the children, and these children ran away immediately, handing over the tightly packed food to their mothers. Then, it was the men feeding them again. In their deer-like innocent eyes, there was fear, panic, curiosity and... longing!
The women roasted the dry food by the fire for a while, and when it was not so cold, they broke off the soft inner part with their hands and sent it to the children's mouths, while they ate the dry and hard skin on the outside.
While feeding, she told her child over and over in a very small voice:
The grassland is not my mother's home, but the other side of the mountain is.
That place is called Guanzhou. My mother is from Guanzhou. Knowing that my mother and aunts were kidnapped by Bei Rong, people from my hometown came to rescue them. From now on, they will never be beaten again, and no one will bully them. They will finally... go home up!
Yan Yu felt very sad.
She looked at the cows wagging their tails comfortably, and the sheep bleating who had always been very good-natured.
The reason why they will come is for these cattle and sheep.
There may be some thoughts of revenge on Beirong.
But the focus is indeed on cattle and sheep.
It was pure chance that would save these women and children.
Yan Yu: "Father, do you think the frontier army knows that there are people who were kidnapped in Beirong's tent..."
Yan Huaiwen looked at her thoughtfully.
"How can you not know." Yan Laoer lowered his voice: "But if you know, you can fix it. The grassland is so big, and they always change places, so it's hard to find."
Yan Yu moved her gaze away from the women and children, and landed on the fire, her eyes were illuminated by the burning flames, flickering.
"They said that a tribe in Beirong was assigned to graze cattle and sheep. The priests in the tribe predicted that there would be white disasters this year, and that the pastures they fixed every year would not be enough for cattle and sheep, so they would be assigned to nomadic herding.
There should be more people like this who are set aside for herding..."
Yan Lao Er frowned, understanding what his daughter meant, and it was precisely because of understanding that he was entangled.
"Xiao Er, they are too far away from us. Look at us this time, for fear of being exposed, the donkeys and mules stayed on the side of the mountain. We didn't even have a transporter. Those who came on legs, if they were farther away, the round trip alone would have to be done." Walking for several days, in this snowy day, people can't bear it for a long time.
Bei Rong was unprepared for the first time. Since they came out of the tribe, there must be a connection between the two. "
Yan Huaiwen suddenly said: "One can be two, not three times."
"The frontier army of tigers has not yet made up. If they act frequently and attract Bei Rong to invade the border, is it more important than saving a few people?"
"Uncle, I don't think it's good if we can't defend ourselves. The more we do this, the more presumptuous the Beirong will be!" Yan Yu said with a serious expression, "Huju frontier soldiers are not enough, but Longxing and Fengming have them, and Yongning City is not. There are also... At least, at the very least, let's go out of the customs regularly to clean up and suppress, and show off our fists to let Bei Rong know that we are not easy to mess with." Yan Yu waved his fist.
Yan Huaiwen smiled.
But still shook his head and said: "The border of Guanzhou is extended, once it is dragged by the Beirong to a certain place, it will be too late to regret it.
When we go out of the customs, the Bei Rong will scatter and escape in all directions if they lose the enemy, and they will not be able to catch up. On the contrary, if the Bei Rong enters the customs, where will the people of Guanzhou hide.
Master Tian's policy of repairing the border is indeed a method, first to secure the inside and then to fight the outside.
It doesn’t take a long time to build a strong army, Guanzhou has few people, its production is not rich, it is short of money and food, and there are unscrupulous generals..."
Yan Yu fell into deep thought.
Long Jiufang said again: "If one day, Guanzhou has a lot of soldiers, rich...maybe not much, but there is indeed some food, uh, enough to eat, and there will be another powerful general..."
Yan Huaiwen smiled lightly and said: "The army is strong, the horses are strong, the food and grass are sufficient, and there are good commanders to supervise the imperial guard, why worry about it?"
Yan Yu clenched her fist and subconsciously looked at her father.
Hey, Dabao, you are looking at your father at this time, and your father is very stressed.
…
The two brothers of the Yan family parted ways in the forest.
Keep going all the way, go back to the village through the mountains.
All the way back to Huju according to the original road.
The people of Xiao'an Village have had a hard time walking this way.
There are always large beasts falling far away, waiting for an opportunity to move.
There are also wolves, which are the most frequent visitors.
Yan Laoer complained to his daughter again: "Look at the eyes of those wolves, it looks like we are here to deliver meat to them, I am afraid that we will run away with the meat, staring at it..."
"Father, don't be distracted, they have been following for two days, and they can't bear it anymore." Yan Yu's small face was tense: "I'll go and have a look behind."
After speaking, he tugged on the rein, and the donkey understood and ran to the back of the team.
"Uncle Luo, light the torch." Yan Yu said.
In the past two days, they used torches to disperse the wolves. It is still daytime, so it should not be done, but she thinks it is better not to save it at this time.
"Well, I'll go and talk to them." Luo Da has always been calm and agreed to light the torch at this time.
Hu Er also fell at the tail of the team, and the longbow in his hand was replaced with a crossbow early on.
Crossbow bolts are faster.
Two teenagers, Da Gouzi and Wang Dahu, followed him, acting as Hu Er's "arrow boy".
Guaranteed the sweetness of the output of the strongest shooter, the people of Xiao'an Village have tasted it, and if there is no accident, they will keep it.
Cui Langzhong was originally arranged at the front of the line, but he was worried about his son, so he retreated a little bit, and finally fell in the second half of the line. The doctor is a fake, and his archery accuracy is not as good as his two dogs.
Yan Yu looked at the pack of wolves approaching from behind and on both sides, and the sense of crisis in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Yan Er was worried and ran over.
"How is it? I think the torches are all lit?"
"Father, we can't go any further." Yan Yu said quickly: "Find a place, let's stop and arrange the layout. If the wolves are really rushing, we should be prepared."
It's better than being suddenly attacked by wolves while walking. Villagers are not afraid of wolves. Although there are a lot of them, the people of Xiao'an Village are not vegetarians. The important thing is the cattle, sheep, rescued women and children.
The team is too long, and it is easy to be scattered by wolves.
Yan Laoer looked into the distance, and immediately shouted forward: "Everyone stop, center around me, surround, surround."
"Three treasures, go there." Yan Laoer pointed to a big tree that was not too tall but very strong.
The low height is compared with the surrounding trees. In fact, this old tree is more than ten feet long. Even if it withers in winter, the branches are still very luxuriant. At a glance, it looks like a hand blown by a strong wind. up umbrella.
