Chapter 73: Dark Tide Erosion
The figure wearing a cloak walked out of the wolf's den, and the sunset was followed by the noise and noisy voices among the hills, which were even more lively than before.
The wolf rider who had already slept was surrounded by the fire and chatting with others. Most of the people who stayed around were no relatives.
Han slaves, both men and women, gathered together in ragged clothes. Soon after, hot porridge and a little barbecue were delivered to them. In a noisy and angry environment, they filled their stomachs and gradually got used to it. Occasionally, they began to communicate with others.
"I thought I would never live in this life... I didn't expect that I could get out one day."
"... Are these horse thieves? When that day passed, I saw a horse riding the Xianbei people in half, and the knife was fierce... The Xianbei dogs and scattered can't react."
"Or, let's join in too? Yan Rou, what do you think?"
"......Let's take a look at it later. After all, horse thieves are not all good..." In the crowd, a young man with a pale face and skinny face was staring at the fire. His temperament was probably a bit dull. Most of the simple huts were filled with noisy sounds, but it made people feel at ease.
On the other side of the pool, Gongsun Zhi looked at Cao Chun who was talking about arguing, Gao Sheng and the other two waved. They looked at each other, then put down the things in their hands and followed, stepped on the dark red soil on the ground, and chatted while walking. Gongsun Zhi first learned about some of the situations of the people who stayed in the past two days and the food problems. Then he was silent for a while with his hands in his arms, and a smile appeared on his face: "Before coming here, I went to see the scholar. Before Ke Bi Neng would come west, we still have time to prepare the food for this winter. After Bu Dugen died, his tribe was in a state of chaos. It was the best time. Kill and snatch it a few more times. It would not be cheaper for Ke Bi Neng."
Gao Sheng touched his bald head and then laughed.
"There are many people who have been rescued this time, and some of them have been left behind, but there are only a few who have the courage to carry a sword and get on the horse. It is still the same rule. Take people to explore their words first, train them first, and then join the wolf cavalry. The rest of the old and weak are engaged in some white wolf cavalry." After Gongsun Zhi smiled, his expression became serious, his words paused, and his body turned around and looked at Cao Chun. The other party subconsciously straightened his chest with a solemn expression. The figure over there continued: "If you want to learn cavalry and train cavalry, you have to abandon all etiquette. There are never politeness and rules on the battlefield. You can't just kill people because of your high martial arts skills. You must also let your soldiers be able to kill people with you."
"Yes." Cao Chun bowed behind him.
The fallen leaves stepped on their feet and walked through the shed built in the forest. These people who had been bullied and stayed behind held tattered pottery bowls and looked at the hot porridge inside, silently. At this time, someone saw the figures coming from over there and shouted. Everyone noticed the three people walking here, then approached and cried hoarsely with tears in their eyes.
冷眸扫过周围一圈圈,一排排站立凄惨可怜的身影,手朝他们猛的一挥:“滚回去吃饭.”
The vast crowd calmed down, and then they squatted on the ground one by one, pulling the hot porridge in the pottery slices. The figure walked past them. When they reached the hills, Gao Sheng thought for a while and whispered: "What should those Gentiles do? It seems that they don't plan to leave. We can't communicate in words, and we don't know what they are doing here."
"When I arrived at my Gongsun Zhi, how could I let them eat white rice?" Under the tree, the cloak was raised and the figure sat down. "Don't return the horse to them. These people stay in the White Wolf Field for the time being, just be the guardian. I have heard from the people below about my previous performance. There is a good defense, which is exactly what I lack."
Cao Chunwang came over: "The leader is learning..."
"That's right." Gongsun Zhi slapped his knees on the stone and nodded: "All good things must be absorbed and integrated into ourselves, of course it's not just that..." He looked at the skylight that was falling and narrowed his eyes: "I'm going to take some cavalry things out and let the Black Mountain Army help build them. The day before yesterday, I realized my shortcomings. Rangers alone are not enough, and a cavalry that can make a final decision."
"Heavy Cavalry?" Cao Chun, who reacted quickly, continued. Gao Sheng squatted on the ground like listening to a book of heaven, staring at the two of them in the clouds and fog. After a moment, Gongsun Zhi looked at him: "I can trust Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, but I can't trust the rest of the leaders, so Gao Sheng, you go over to supervise and pull five hundred horses first. The things I want cannot leave in your eyes for a moment."
Gao Sheng stood up with his bald head and grinned: "It's finally my turn... Chief, please give me a hundred hearts and make sure to bring all the things back. How long will it take to set off?"
"Tomorrow morning."
The figure under the tree said this. Not long after, the two of them took the task and left, and the skylight also darkened. The flames in the forest were spotted with spots, and the wind blew over the cloak, stroking the fluff on the cloak. Gongsun Zhi came in the face of darkness, pressed his fists on his knees, and the back of his hand was swollen due to the force, and his eyes were fierce and majestic. Facing such a chaotic world where the waves were washed away, his nerves were tense.
"Even God doesn't want me to compromise..."
.........
On the east side of Youbeiping, in Gongsun’s mansion, the lights were dim. The woman wiped her tears and told her silent figure there: “He is a son, isn’t Xu’er? I’ve given him all the benefits. What should Xu’er do? I’m just a son, and one day I will have a good life, so I can have a support.”
Gongsun Zan walked with his hands behind his back, and the wind blew the candles. He stopped and raised his hand: "I was confused back then, why did you let you act recklessly? You and I are wrong after all. How could I let my Gongsun Zan's son do that horse thief again?"
"Then you can't give him everything..." The woman covered her face and cried, "Otherwise, with his cruel nature, if he comes back to avenge his mother, how should I live with me and Xu'er? Give him an official position, don't bring it to your house..."
Outside the window, the branches brushed across the eaves, Gongsun Zan had never been so exhausted before. He sat down behind several cases, touched his swelling forehead, and the fire swayed. A little, he closed his eyes and sighed.
Outside the house, the woman was walking under the eaves, and the tears were gone. A figure turned around the corner in front and stopped him, whispering: "Mother."
The woman nodded and sorted out the hand-to-collar work on the figure's chest, with a cold face: "Mom has told your father that everything will not change. I will only give Gongsun Zhi an official position. As long as my mother is there, no one can shake your status."
