Five days passed by in the blink of an eye, and Li Shushi's survival learning ended. So because of Lu Bu's existence, the so-called "survival" became a joke, but Li Shushi still learned a lot.
Although Lu Bu came from a wild background, it was because he was wild enough that he was different from many generals with orthodox backgrounds. Many of the key points and skills of survival in the wild were experiences that needed to be gained at the cost of life. Now Lu Bu has no reservations about them.
He taught it to Li Shushi. As for the identification of wild fruits and vegetables, the identification of poisonous species and some first aid knowledge, it was an eye-opener for Li Shushi. Even finding and setting up a campsite has many things to pay attention to.
The two people returned home with a full load of prey that had not been consumed for several days, but they could not keep their happy mood at home. They smelled an unusual smell from outside the gate of Zhuoxian County.
At this time, a large group of people gathered outside the gate of Zhuoxian County, and bursts of noisy discussions came from the crowd. However, the people around him did not point at the crowd as if they had nothing to do as usual. Instead, they had different expressions on their faces.
In a hurry, many people with their families drove out of the county town in large cars, with children crying loudly in the cars.
Li Shushi and Lu Bu looked at each other, then immediately put away their leisurely mood. After the soldiers at the city gate checked the ultimatum, they rushed home immediately.
There were no changes at home, except for some dust accumulated in certain places. But as soon as the two arrived home, their neighbor, Uncle He, hurried over.
"Little plum, something big happened~" Li Shushi, who was far away, had already heard Uncle He's obviously out-of-breath shout.
Li Shushi asked Lu Bu to go into the house to pickle the prey he brought back, and he went out to meet Uncle He. He was also a little curious about what happened to make Uncle He, who always did things slowly and leisurely, so flustered.
"You little plum, how crazy have you been these past few days? Do you know that it's spread all over the city now that the Karasuma people are coming. I heard there are hundreds of thousands of them. Hey, no
Do you know if Mr. Gongsun of our county can hold on?"
The Karasuma people are coming to attack the city? This is really a big deal. However, Li Shushi always felt that he had forgotten something, and he always felt that he did not need to panic too much.
"The Wuwan people only have two ways to reach Zhuojun. One is to attack Juyong in Shanggu County, and the other is to pass through Yuyang County. Both of these routes will pass through Guangyang County. Let’s not mention anything else, at least Guangzhou
Liu Yan, the governor of Yangjun, and Mr. Guo Xunguo, the governor of the state, would not sit idly by and ignore the situation.
. Besides, Ji County and Yuyang County are far more prosperous than Zhuo County. Even if the thieves come just for robbery, they should attack these two places. Therefore, Zhuo County will at most have a partial enemy force. With the height of the county seat of Zhuo County, those
Foreign races that lack the means to attack cities are not enough to be feared."
Huh? Lu Bu's shoes, weren't you supposed to go in and pick up the prey? Why did you appear here? Li Shushi looked at Lu Bu who appeared behind him and complained in his heart.
"So there is no need to panic. If you escape out of the city, you may encounter a small group of Karasuma people's scouts. At that time, you may not have a chance to escape."
Lu Bu ignored Li Shushi's malicious look and continued to talk to himself. However, seeing Uncle He's surprised look, Li Shushi had to admit that what this guy said made sense.
Thanks to Uncle He for reminding him, Li Shushi walked out for a long time before returning to his home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Bu's face full of doubts.
"Is there something fishy about this time?" Lu Bu gave Li Shushi, who had just entered, a heads-up.
"How do you say this?" Lu Bu has dealt with several ethnic groups on the grassland, so he has a more or less understanding of their habits. At this time, he felt that there was something wrong with the Karasuma people's actions, so he
There must be his reason.
"Although the grassland peoples live in no fixed settlements and are prone to looting, they still have certain rules. For them, the most important thing is their livestock, which is not only their rations but also their wealth and a symbol of their strength.
, so all the actions of the grassland peoples are centered around livestock and wealth."
Lu Bu turned around and sat back on the bed. Li Shushi also found a seat under the bed, poured a glass of water for Lu Bu, and then quietly listened to Xiaoqiang Laoshi's popular science talk.
"The grassland people are accustomed to going south in spring and autumn. Because summer is the most abundant time on the grassland, the grass grows best at this time. Whether livestock can grow well this year depends on the summer pasture. In autumn,
, in order to cope with the lack of food in the winter, the grassland people will go south. In addition, after a summer of rearing, the horses at this time are also the fattest and strongest. The actions in the spring largely depend on the winter.
How, as
If it is still passable, then each tribe will focus more on competing with other tribes for control of good pastures, because no matter what, going south will cause the tribe's precious adult men to suffer losses. And if winter is difficult to endure
, in order to ensure survival, you must go south, otherwise there is only a dead end. Even sometimes, you must go south to rob in winter, but that will put too much pressure on the attackers, and they will not do it unless it is a last resort."
Li Shushi nodded to express his understanding.
"That's why I said it's strange for the Karasuma people to go south at this time. Instead of taming their livestock on the pasture, they go here to participate in the war. So how do these tribes spend the winter? Or are they being manipulated by some people?
Are you driving me here to die?"
"Is it possible that it is fake news?" Li Shushi raised a question.
"It's not impossible, but it shouldn't be big, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people gathered at the city gate. It should be that there was an emergency recruitment notice posted on the city gate that so many people gathered. This means that the government has confirmed
The truth of the matter."
"In that case, let's go take a look later." Li Shushi felt that seeing is believing, and Lu Bu nodded.
Outside the east gate of Zhuoxian County, the crowd gathered at this time had reduced a lot. With some effort, Li Shushi and Lu Bu successfully squeezed into the innermost part of the crowd. There was a small wooden board hanging on the city gate, with a piece of paper attached to it.
Zhang notice.
"Hereby, the Wuwan people have invaded our county, and the people and gentry of this county should jointly fight against them. Now, in order to protect the territory and the people, the county magistrate Gongsun has recruited good families from the Han Dynasty and all the border areas to kill the barbarians together and promote our Han Dynasty."
It also has the official seal of the county government and the county magistrate's personal seal and signature to prove the officialness and correctness of the notice.
Li Shushi looked back and happened to see Liu Da'er who often sold straw sandals at the market. He immediately left Lu Bu and went up by himself. Speaking of which, Liu Bei and Li Shushi were familiar with each other, and they had many business contacts.
Because Liu Bei's straw sandals are of good quality and have a good reputation, they are put on consignment in the grocery store when there is no market on weekdays, and the money from selling the shoes is exchanged for some daily necessities.
"Brother Liu Bei~ (so embarrassed) Why are you here too?"
"Hey, Bei said that he was also the queen of Zhongshan King Jing. He is a little bit sad to see the country in trouble." Liu Bei first showed a gentle smile, and then his face showed concern for the country and the people.
"Then why doesn't Brother Liu Bei join the army and fight the bad guys? I heard that both County Magistrate Gongsun and you are disciples of Lu Shangshu."
Lu Zhi and Lu Ziqian, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty when there were few official figures in the border areas, had a great reputation in Youzhou. All Youzhou scholars who could enter his sect were all proud of it. Although Liu Bei was only in his sect
Having attended classes under the wall for several months is also an important qualification. It can be said that this is another position that Liu Bei can use after being a member of the Han clan.
"Haha, Bei is really powerless. I think back when I was under Master Lu's sect, even though Magistrate Gongsun was not of high birth, the Gongsun family was also a well-known family in western Liaoning. Naturally, he looked down on me, a student from an extremely poor family. Now he has
I am in charge of a county, but I am still doing nothing. Going to meet each other is just making people laugh."
At this time, Liu Bei was bitter. Perhaps because he was just a young man in front of him, he did not pretend to be himself. Li Shushi rarely saw his unwillingness and loneliness.
"It's the Great Immortal Zhang Jiao who's here, it's the Great Immortal Zhang Jiao who's here..."
A burst of shouting broke out from nowhere, and then the sound became louder and louder, spreading wider and wider. After a while, Li Shushi saw that the people who had originally surrounded the city gate had left, and they were shouting desperately from inside or outside the city.
Rushing south, only a mess was left.
"Why is Zhang Jiao here?"
Just when Li Shushi was confused, Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Daozhang Zhang is a good man. He must have come here because of the Karasuma people's invasion."
