After leaving the Linghu tribe, they met the Tang Dynasty shepherd slaves who had been notified and came on the road.
Xiao Han led his team and immediately rushed to Shuofang non-stop. After a day's journey, the vast team of cattle and horses was already less than 150 miles away from Shuofang!
The reason why they left in such a hurry was because the team at this time was too huge! It was impossible to be as silent as at the beginning!
So at this time, they must rush back as quickly as possible to reduce the possibility of being attacked by Turks.
He continued on the road until evening. Seeing that the people around him were really tired and sleepy, Xiao Han had no choice but to order to camp on the spot, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow.
When they heard that they could finally rest, the soldiers who fought a battle before dawn in the morning and then ran for nearly a hundred miles immediately breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off their horses, and lay down directly on the grass.
"Get up! Get up! Take a good look at those barbarians! If they run away again, you will feed the sheep by yourself tomorrow!" Liu Er strode past among the soldiers and kicked his imageless men from the ground.
This dangerous grassland is far from a place where they can rest as much as they want.
After being scolded, the soldiers had to get up and work no matter how reluctant they were, but after thinking about the dinner and the physical fatigue, it was not so hard to accept.
Because he was guarding tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, Xiao Han felt that all their dry cakes could be thrown away! He lit a fire directly and ate boiled food if he wanted, and grilled food if he wanted to eat it! Eat one of the cattle and sheep, and throw the other away.
!No way, it’s just such a luxury!
Of course, the big soldiers would not take it seriously when it comes to Xiao Han's wasteful things like eating one end and throwing one away.
If you choose an old cow and a hundred sheep from the livestock herd, it will be enough for everyone to have a full belly.
After a while, the strong aroma of meat filled the entire camp! In this era where people don’t even care about eating steamed buns, being able to have such a luxurious meal of meat really made these soldiers happy!
Even the captured Turkic prisoners also took advantage of it, holding some of the leftover meat eaten by the Tang people, biting and swallowing it with big mouthfuls.
"Master Marquis, why are you giving them meat? According to me, you can't even give dry biscuits to these beasts! Just starve them for a few meals and save them the energy to escape!"
Not far away, Liu Er walked to Xiao Han carrying a roasted golden leg of lamb, sat down, and then looked at the Turkic prisoners who were eating meat with a dark face, with resentment in his eyes!
In the past two days, he had seen too many miserable conditions of Tang prisoners! Liu Er did not rush forward and kill these Turks with a knife, but he was already quite restrained!
Now that he saw that these people not only did not suffer any punishment at Xiao Han's place, but could actually eat meat in large quantities, he was naturally so angry that he could not even swallow the food!
Xiao Han, who was next to the fire, saw Liu Er coming over, put down the beef in his hand, and smiled: "Let them eat, even if they eat all, how many meals can they still eat?"
"How many more meals can I have?"
After hearing Xiao Han's words, Liu Er, who was originally aggrieved, first frowned, then spread out, and finally looked at Xiao Han with a surprised look on his face: "Master Hou, what do you mean..."
Xiao Han did not hide anything from Liu Er, and sneered: "Don't worry, when we arrive at Shuofang in two days, it will be the time for them to be beheaded! If you have a good meal before you die, it will be your death."
Let’s have our first meal!”
"Oh? Mr. Hou, you don't plan to raise them?" Liu Er grinned and laughed.
He was most afraid that Xiao Han's head would get hot. Seeing how pitiful these people were now, he would let them go in the end.
"Raise them? Why raise them?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Liu Er. Do these idiots really think they are running a charity? When these guys get to Shuofang, their only purpose is to vent their anger to the people of Shuofang!
"Hey, I'm overthinking that." Liu Er scratched the back of his head and laughed foolishly. Then he came closer to Xiao Han and whispered: "But Mr. Hou, you only have one meal for decapitation. They go there."
Finally, but there are still several meals left, I, Old Liu, feel that it is still an advantage for them!"
Xiao Han shrugged this time and sneered: "Aren't one meal and several meals the same? You have to think about it, if we give them something good to eat and treat them a little better, they will have the illusion that they
We won't do anything to them!
Since their lives are not in danger for the time being, and escaping is a matter of death! Then who will risk their lives to escape? In exchange for a few meals, they can work peacefully in the next few days and not cause us trouble, you
Is this transaction a loss or a profit?"
"Oh? Mr. Hou is still smart!" Liu Er suddenly realized and gave Xiao Han a thumbs up! He is still thinking that you are evil. A rough man like himself would never give birth to so many crooked intestines!
"Haha, just average!" Xiao Han waved his hand proudly. This method of boiling frogs in warm water was something he had heard of in his previous life, but it worked so well no matter where it was placed!
After explaining the problem of the Turks, Liu Er felt his stomach growling with hunger. He took a big bite of the mutton leg and handed it to Xiao Han attentively, indicating that he should try it too.
Xiao Han naturally wouldn't refuse this. Brothers on the battlefield eat meat and drink soup together, it's all a matter of affection! So he opened his mouth and bit into the most plump piece of calf meat, and swallowed it into his stomach in a few times.
The sheep they captured had all grown up grazing on the grassland. They grazed and ran every day. The four legs of the lamb were the most delicious part of the body! After roasting, even if no condiments were used, just a pinch of salt was added.
Delicious.
"Ouch..."
Just when the team was having a delicious dinner, suddenly, a wolf howled deep in the grassland, shrill and fierce, as if it was issuing some kind of warning.
Ren Qing, who had been sitting quietly by the fire eating, twitched his ears, stood up and rushed in front of Xiao Han and Liu Er, with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "Someone should be coming from behind!"
"Yeah! And there are not many people. I think most of them are coming towards us!" Liu Er's face darkened at this time!
After being in the grassland for a long time, an eagle's call or a wolf's roar can tell them a lot of news!
The wolf howl just now is a very meaningful warning. Something must be passing through its territory! And judging from the way it dares to howl to warn, the number of things passing through its territory will not be too many! But it also makes it quite afraid!
In early winter, everything is dormant! The only people who can be treated with such caution by a wolf at night are humans!
"Send someone to go take a look!" After hearing the two people's judgments, Xiao Han didn't necessarily look too nervous.
This was not because he was arrogant, but because he had already anticipated being targeted, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
You have to know that this time, I wiped out three entire tribes on the grassland and seized so many cattle and sheep to show off in the market.
Whether those fierce Turks want to avenge their compatriots or are jealous of these cattle and sheep, they cannot let them go easily!
