Throughout the spring, the Tang Dynasty was as calm as the previous three years!
This made Jieli Khan, who was originally worried that Datang would go to the grassland to find trouble this spring, completely relieved and prepared to continue enjoying his fairy-like life.
The troops who went to pursue Tuli had already withdrawn.
After a whole winter of white disaster, whether it is the surviving cattle and sheep, the carefully cared for horses, or the shepherds who have suffered from the winter cold, they all need to replenish their already empty bodies in this season of growth of all things.
.
The Abdul family is one such family of shepherds.
Just this winter, nearly half of the cattle and sheep in his house froze to death, as well as four robbed herdsmen and two women.
Such a huge loss caused Abdul, who was originally considered a wealthy family in the tribe, to fall below the poverty line in an instant!
After finally surviving until the beginning of spring, the first thing Abdul did when he emerged from the tent was to drive the obviously skinny livestock to the pasture and watch them greedily eat the newly grown grass, even the roots of the grass.
Don't let it go.
Shepherds who have lived on this grassland for generations know that cattle and sheep cannot be allowed to dig up the land and eat grass roots. This will make the land unable to grow new pasture for a long time.
But now Abu can’t control that much!
The grass in spring is not as lush as in summer!
Short, tender, with only a handful growing out.
In a seemingly vast pasture, a group of sheep will eat all the young leaves on the ground in just one day. If they don't eat grass roots, how can they feed the livestock that have been hungry for a whole winter?
If the livestock dies in the spring, how will he survive the next winter?
So now Abu not only lets cattle and sheep eat grass roots, but also sets his sights on the border with the Han people.
Under Shuofang City, the weeds in an open space grew extremely lush. The weeds that could not cover the insteps elsewhere were almost as high as the knees here.
Abdul was overjoyed when he discovered this treasure land. He hurriedly led his son to drive the cattle and sheep here. He seemed not to worry at all that the Han people on the city would pour out of the majestic city and take his cattle and sheep.
They all rushed into the city, took his son to prison, cut off his head along the way, and dumped him casually on the roadside.
"Humph, don't worry, they don't dare! Do you know why the grass here grows so lush? It's because their people are buried underneath! I think your father and I have killed in this city, okay?
There were many treasures, and many Han people who refused to hand over the treasures were dragged here and their heads were chopped off one by one! Hahaha..."
Abdu, who exuded a ferocious smell, waved his riding crop and pointed at the pass of the majestic city. Beside him, several grassland children not only showed no fear, but looked at him with fascination and greedy eyes.
That big city in the distance!
Even though they are young, the Turks' greed and bloodthirsty have been flowing in their blood vessels since they were born!
Moreover, they have heard so many stories like Abdul’s stories since they were young!
Among these stories passed down by word of mouth, without exception, they are all about how brave prairie men defeated their enemies and obtained trophies!
Over time, they have long ceased to regard the act of killing people at their homes and taking away other people's things as shameful. Instead, they are proud and complacent about it!
In the tribe, they compete with each other based on who can grab more and better.
Turkic children who have lived in such a deformed environment since childhood do not know how to be benevolent, righteous, moral, let alone compassionate!
They only know that the things of the Han people are very good! But they don’t have any! If they want it, they can only rely on the knife in their hands and the arrows on their backs to grab it!
How good are the things made by the Han people!
Take the iron pot for example. Before Dad snatched the dark iron pot, the whole family would not be able to cook it for half a day, either by roasting the black mutton or by getting a stone pot!
Since they got the iron pot, they can drink delicious broth and cook some wild vegetables occasionally. Although the broth is not as delicious, the advantage is that the quantity is large. If you eat more, you will always be full.
In addition to iron pots, there are also Han Chinese cloths and even silks that only the rich can enjoy!
Thinking of the dress worn by the tribe leader's wife, the children couldn't help but drool from the corners of their mouths.
God knows what kind of hands those Han people have, and they can make such exquisite flower cloth! If you have such a piece of cloth, are you afraid that the girls in the tribe won't cry and shout to stick it to you?
"Dad, can you take me with you next time you go on an expedition? I also want to defeat the enemy!"
"I want to go too! Last time, the child of the Mous family showed off to me a silver bracelet that his father snatched. If I go with him, I will definitely get a gold bracelet back!"
"I want cloth shoes and cloth clothes! A sheepskin coat is not as comfortable as cloth clothes! Daddy, the cloth clothes you brought back last time were full of blood, and they couldn't be washed away."
Several half-grown children gathered around the prairie man and kept jumping and begging. This made Abdul's dark and red face unique to the prairie people shine with a sense of deep pride!
"Okay, okay! When you grow up, daddy will take you out to fight! Then we will go to that big city and grab whatever we like! Don't say anything rare then, even women, we will grab a few for you.
Come back! It’s a good night to cuddle up with the warm quilt! Tsk tsk, the women of the Han family are not like the women on the grassland, they are called water spirits! Even if they are not resistant to torment, two of them can freeze to death in one winter."
Patting several little guys on the back of the head one by one, Abdul burst out laughing! There was no trace of guilt in his casual tone! It seemed that going to the city to rob things was just as normal as taking money and going to the market to buy things.
The two dead women were no different from the frozen lambs in the sheepfold.
From their ancestors, the Turkic people's brains, which are more than barbaric but lacking in wisdom, have only one belief: that the people of the grassland are born to be like the wolves on the grassland, running rampant! If there is a lack of utensils or food, go to those
Take it from sheep-like Han people!
As for whether those Han people are willing or not, this is a question that our ancestors have never thought about, and neither has Abdul!
In their rigid minds, as long as they have swords and arrows in their hands, as long as their horses are beneath them, and as long as the Great Khan is behind them, Turkic men have nothing to fear!
Are Turkic men really fearless? This question is hard to say clearly now!
But if someone could see the Xiao Family Village today, they might know that the time when the answer is revealed is not far away!
Those who kill will always be killed!
