Chapter 221 Zhang Shan Department

Twenty miles northwest of Tuoyuan Village, there is a strangely shaped mountain. The mountain is square and looks like a huge seal, so it is named Zhangshan. Decades ago, a tribe moved here, so it was named Zhangshan tribe with the mountain.

The cold wind in the mountains whistled by. Although it was early morning, the sky was still gloomy. The thin snow had not melted a few days ago, and there was a thin layer of white frost on the ground. However, the Zhangshan tribe was in full swing. The tribe members all came to the valley where they lived, stretched their necks and looked into the distance.

In a short while, a cavalry of thousands of people came from the mist, and the people of Zhangshan tribe also burst out with cheers and rushed forward to surround the cavalry. The people riding on the horses also dismounted and hugged the people who were welcoming them.

"Father, the Green Water Tribe has been destroyed by us. Food, women and property are ours!" A knight in the head pushed away the crowd and came to welcome a middle-aged man in the crowd and shouted excitedly. The knight was named Yonggu, and the middle-aged man in front of him was the leader of Zhangshan tribe who suddenly came to his father.

"Good job, Yonggu, you have grown up and will be able to stand alone in the future!" Suddenly, patted your son's shoulder, looked at his dark face and couldn't help but smile with a gratitude. Although Yonggu was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he had become a famous warrior in the tribe. This time he personally led his troops to destroy the Green Water tribe and brought the food that the tribe urgently needed.

Yonggu was even happier when he heard his father's praise. He waved his hand and asked someone to bring the things he had stolen. After a while, he saw groups of cattle and sheep being driven over, as well as women and children tied into a bunch of them, but there were no adult men.

"Why don't you kill me again without a man?" Shufu frowned as he looked at the stolen women and children and said, "Women can help the tribe have more children. As long as the children grow up in the tribe, they will be people in the tribe in the future. However, the tribe also needs adult male slaves, which are very useful in grazing or fighting, but he knows that his son is good at everything. The only problem is that it is too easy to kill. He even killed several small tribes before, and even the children were not left behind.

"I can't blame me. I took people to the Green Water Ministry. They dared to resist and even cut off my armor. Father, look, this is a gift you gave me, and it is also my most precious armor. If it is broken, there is no place to repair it." Yonggu showed a very aggrieved expression at this time, and even pointed to a crack in his armor for him to see.

Suddenly, he saw the cracks on his son's armor and his face darkened. This armor was stolen from a wealthy family in the Han area a few years ago. It was more sophisticated than the standard armor of ordinary Song generals. He was reluctant to wear it. He was not willing to wear it until last year. However, he did not expect it to be broken by people from the Green Water Division. No wonder Yonggu killed so many people.

"Forget it this time, try to bring more prisoners in the future. Both men and women are useful. Even if we don't use it, we can sell it to other tribes. At least an adult slave can exchange for a few sheep." He suddenly patted his son's shoulder and said again.

Seeing that his father no longer blamed him, Yonggu was even happier. He happily told his father about his attack on the Green Water Division. He suddenly had someone set up a banquet in the valley to reward Yonggu and his soldiers who returned victoriously.

The valley where Zhangshan tribe lives is very large. It is actually more like a basin than a valley. There is a river flowing through the middle. The basin is full of very fertile land, which can be grazed or grown. Originally, Zhangshan tribe did not grow grain, but they forced many Han people to be slaves from the Han area, so large areas of farmland were planted in the valley. Even in winter, dark green wheat still grew in the farmland.

Suddenly, he brought Yonggu and others back to the valley, and immediately raised a bonfire and started barbecuing meat. At the same time, the fine wine from the large jar was brought up and allowed to drink by the returned warriors. This is also the rule of the Zhangshan tribe. As long as the tribe who went out to fight returned victoriously, they would receive the highest courtesy of the tribe.

Seeing the soldiers returning from victory drinking and eating meat, there were female slaves from the tribe dancing beside the fire, Yonggu said to Chufu with some dissatisfaction: "Father, why don't we go to the Han area to plunder? The villages over there are much richer than tribes like the Green Water Ministry. Grabing five or six is ​​enough for us to celebrate the New Year!"

Yonggu's words actually represent the doubts of many tribesmen in the tribe. Because according to the previous rules, before winter came, they all liked to go to the Han area to loot. First, they were very close to the border of the Song Dynasty, and second, the Song Dynasty was rich, and the Song people had no horses, so it was very easy to grab them, so they all wanted to go to the Han area, but this year, they suddenly ordered that the tribes were not allowed to go to the Han area again, which made Yonggu a little puzzled.

Hearing his son's words, he suddenly felt a solemn expression and said, "Of course I know that the villages in Han area are fat sheep, but this year it's not possible. It's better not to provoke those Song people next year!"

"Why?" Yonggu asked again in confusion. He remembered that his father liked to rob the Han people the most. The reason why their Zhangshan tribe was today was because his father was brave and he dared not rob him, but why did his father seem to have changed someone else?

"Some time ago, I used a piece of silk to exchange for information from the Dangxiang people. Cao Wei, who was transferred before, was transferred back again. We can't afford to offend this person!" Shufu said solemnly again. Yonggu is young and may not know how powerful Cao Wei is, but he is very afraid of Cao Wei and even a little afraid. Of course, he was defeated by Cao Wei. Moreover, Cao Wei was mainly dealing with the Dangxiang people that time, and he just did it with his way. If he hadn't run fast, Zhang Shan tribe would have no longer existed.

"Cao Wei? He is old and there is nothing to be afraid of. Father, you are too careful!" Yonggu said indifferently. When he was an adult, Cao Wei had been transferred. Although he often heard about Cao Wei's deeds, he still didn't take it seriously.
