Chapter 446 We are transporting cattle and sheep in the mountains
On a snowy night, the grassland is vast and empty.
The not-high snow wall keeps people, cattle and sheep together, keeping each other warm.
The men in Xiaoan Village gave some of the dry food they brought to the children. The children immediately ran away and handed the food they were holding tightly to their mothers. They looked at them one by one and wrapped them up and carried them on their backs.
Here, again, were the men who were feeding them. In their innocent deer-like eyes, there was fear, panic, curiosity and... desire!
The women put the dry food by the fire and roasted it for a while. When it was not so cold, they broke off the soft part inside with their hands and put it into the children's mouths, while they ate the dry and hard outside.
While feeding, she told her child over and over again in a very small voice:
The grassland is not my mother's home, it is the other side of the mountain.
That place is called Guanzhou, and my mother is from Guanzhou. I know that my mother and aunts were kidnapped by the Beirong, and the people from my hometown came to rescue them. From now on, they will no longer be beaten, and no one will bully them. They will finally... go back.
Home!
Yan Yu sounded very sad.
She looked at the cows waving their tails comfortably and the sheep, who were always good-natured.
The reason why they came here is for these cattle and sheep.
There may be some thoughts of revenge against Beirong.
Continue moving forward through the mountains and back to the village.
After saying that, he pulled the reins, and the donkey took the lead and ran to the back of the team.
Building a strong army does not happen overnight. Guanzhou has few people, poor production, lack of silver and grain, and no good generals..."
There are always large beasts hanging far away, waiting for an opportunity.
The people of Xiao'an Village have tasted the sweetness of ensuring the output of the strongest shooter, and will continue to do so if nothing unexpected happens.
Hey, Dabao, if you look at your father at this time, he is feeling very stressed.
Cui Langzhong was originally arranged at the front of the team, but he was worried about his son, so he retreated little by little, and finally fell into the back half of the team. Although he also held a crossbow in his hand and fiddled with it nervously from time to time, everyone in the village knew that Cui
The doctor is a fake, and his archery accuracy is not as good as his two dogs.
In the past two days, they had relied on setting fires and torches to drive away the wolves. It was still daytime, so logically they shouldn't light it, but she felt that it was better not to save it at this time.
Yan Yu clenched her fists and looked at her father subconsciously.
"How's it going? I see the torches are all lit?"
Hu Er also fell at the end of the team, and the long bow in his hand had been replaced by a crossbow.
Yan Laoer looked at her in horror.
Yan Huaiwen smiled lightly and said: "We have strong soldiers and strong horses, sufficient food and grass, and good commanders to supervise us. Why worry about being victorious?"
Yan Yu looked away from the women and children and fell on the fire. The burning flames illuminated her eyes and flickered.
Yan Huaiwen had a smile in his eyes.
"They said that this was a tribe from Beirong that was set up to herd cattle and sheep. The priest in the tribe predicted that there would be a white disaster this year. The regular pastures every year were not enough for the cattle and sheep, so some people were sent out to herd.
Yan Yu: "Dad, do you think the border army knew that there were people kidnapped in Beirong's tent..."
The two brothers of the Yan family parted ways in the forest.
"Uncle, I don't think it's good to just defend and not get out. The more we do this, the more unbridled Beirong will be!" Yan Yu looked serious: "The soldiers on the border are short of troops, but Longxing and Fengming have them. Yongning City is not
There are also... at least, at least we should go out on time to clean up, show our fists, and let Beirong know that we are not easy to mess with." Yan Yu waved his fist.
Two young men, Da Gouzi and Wang Dahu, followed him and acted as Hu Er's "arrow boys".
…
Yan Yu looked at the wolves surrounding him from behind and on both sides, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Mr. Tian's policy of repairing the border is indeed one method: first make peace with the inside and then attack the outside.
Crossbows are faster.
But the focus is indeed on cattle and sheep.
"Dad, we can't go any further." Yan Yu said quickly: "Find a place, let's stop and make arrangements. If the wolves do come, at least we will be prepared."
There are also wolves, they are the ones who visit most frequently.
"Uncle Luo, please light the torch." Yan Yu said.
"The tiger troops on the border have not yet been replenished. If they act frequently and attract the Beirong army to invade the border in large numbers, which one is more important than saving a few people?"
Yan Laoer frowned, understanding what his daughter meant. It was precisely because he understood that he was so entangled.
When we leave the pass, if the Beirong army is outnumbered, they can flee in all directions and cannot be pursued. On the contrary, if the Beirong army enters the pass, where will the people of Guanzhou go to hide?
Retrace your steps and return to Huju.
Yan Laoer once again complained to his daughter: "Look at the eyes of those wolves. They look at us as if we are here to deliver meat to them. They are afraid that I will run away with the meat and stare..."
The people of Xiaoan Village have had a difficult journey.
Yan Huaiwen looked at her thoughtfully.
Yan Huaiwen suddenly said: "You can do it once, you can do it twice, but you can't do it again."
"Well, I'll go talk to them." Luo Da was always calm and agreed with lighting the torch at this time.
Yan Laoer was worried and ran over.
"How could I not know?" Yan Laoer lowered his voice: "But what can we do if we know? The grassland is so big and they always change places, so it's hard to find them."
Yan Yu fell into deep thought.
This time Beirong was unprepared. Since he came out of the tribe, there must be a connection between the two sides. If no one is seen for a long time, he will come out to look for him. Next time, he will not be so easy to succeed."
"Dad, don't be distracted. They've been following you for two days and they can't bear it any longer." Yan Yu's little face tightened: "I'll go take a look at the back."
"Xiao Er, they are too far away from us. Look at us this time, for fear of being exposed, we stayed on the edge of the mountain with donkeys and mules. We didn't even have a means of transportation. We came here on legs. If we were further away, the round trip alone would take us
We walked for several days, in this heavy snowy weather, it was unbearable for a long time.
There should be others who are separated for grazing like this..."
The team is too long and can easily be broken up by wolves.
Liang Jiufang added: "Then if one day, Guanzhou has a lot of soldiers, money... maybe not much, but it does have some food, uh, enough to eat, and a powerful general..."
But he still shook his head and said: "The Guanzhou border is extended. Once the Beirong forces are dragged to a certain place, it will be too late to regret it.
It is better than being suddenly attacked by wolves while walking. The villagers are not afraid of wolves. Although there are many of them, the people of Xiaoan Village are not vegetarians. What matters are the cattle, sheep, and the rescued women and children.
It was purely a coincidence that these women and children were saved.
Yan Laoer looked into the distance and immediately shouted forward: "Stop everyone, surround me with me as the center, surround everyone."
"Sambo, go there." Yan Laoer pointed to a big tree that was not too tall but very strong.
The height is compared with the surrounding trees. In fact, this old tree, which looks very old at first glance, is more than one foot. Even if it withers in winter, its branches are still very lush. At a glance, it looks like a tree that has been blown away by the strong wind.
