Chapter 138: Hunting the Bear and Subduing the Tiger
The mountains near Shanhaiguan are so majestic and steep!
The grain transport team from within Daqian had to go outside Shanhaiguan for a short distance in order to avoid the peaks and dangerous mountains.
This is such a short journey and is often plundered by Beiyuan people.
Therefore, there is no choice but to have a team of food and grass to support the camp.
Often this battalion is not very powerful in combat, otherwise it would have been killed by the regular army, so why would it come to provide food and fodder?
But now, such an idle job has fallen to Li Changkong and others and Qianlong Camp.
And in the blink of an eye, it’s seven days again!
On this day, when he saw the beam-carrying truck coming from afar, Zhu Ben stepped forward out of boredom and asked in a routine manner: "Name, place of origin, where are you from, and how much grain and grass are you transporting?"
The officer in charge of transporting grain replied honestly: "Zhang Quangui, a native of Yanzhou, came from Yanshan County to collect grain and transported a total of 20 million kilograms of grain and grass."
When Zhu Ben heard this, he nodded secretly. Obviously, the information was correct, so he shouted loudly: "Check the food and grass!"
As soon as this statement came out, the soldiers of Qianlong Camp also began to inspect the food and grass as a routine matter.
After about a quarter of an hour, the group was released.
Zhu Ben came back resentfully and glanced at Li Changkong, his face full of anger.
"In my opinion, it would be better to wait until the King of Zhongshan transfers us to the front line than to wait for the barbarians from the Northern Yuan Dynasty to come to rob the grain. Then we can take the opportunity to kill a few heads and bring them back, which can be regarded as a military achievement."
When Li Changkong heard this, he shook his head and said, "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
"Beiyuan's camp is only thirty or fifty miles away from Shanhaiguan."
"Sometimes, if you stand taller, you can see the whole thing!"
"Especially at night, you can see a lot of reality by looking at the camp torches."
When Zhu Ben heard this, he immediately knew that Li Changkong knew what he was thinking. He immediately put on a smile and said with a smile: "Old Li, what did you see?"
When Li Changkong heard this, his face darkened and he shook his head: "It is rumored that Beiyuan is a nomadic nation, and they march and fight without rules."
"When setting up camp, it's more about taking things as they come, without any clues."
"If it weren't for the large number of people and the vast territory, coupled with the wolf nature, it wouldn't be possible."
"But judging from the situation in recent days, I'm afraid it's not optimistic, or the rumors may be wrong!"
"Every night at midnight, I would climb up and look up. I saw that the torches in the Northern Yuan army were neatly lit, and they were often lit and extinguished together."
"The place where we set up camp is also very organized. We can avoid rocks, rolling trees, water and fire disasters!"
"Such a skill can be regarded as a sign of strict military discipline. It is not like what the barbarians of the Northern Yuan Dynasty could do in the past."
"I'm afraid that there is someone capable in the Beiyuan Army."
When Zhang Han heard this, his heart skipped a beat: "Before leaving, my father once mentioned this."
"They were said to be three major tribes, but they were unified in just one year."
"This man now unifies the northern grasslands and is known as the Lord of Northern Yuan - Tuoba Tian Khan!"
"Tuoba Tianhan?" Li Changkong couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this: "This Tuoba Tianhan is far away in the depths of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. With just a little prestige, he can make the military discipline of the Northern Yuan Dynasty look like this."
"This man should be considered an outstanding person!"
Li Changkong couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Originally, he thought that the King of Zhongshan called him here just because he wanted to gradually become his son-in-law and take a test at the school.
But now it seems that there is no intention to leave any last words.
"Under such military discipline, Beiyuan gives fewer and fewer opportunities. There will only be rushes between large groups of troops, and there will be no small conflicts. Naturally, we will have no chance to play."
"The only solution for now is to wait." Li Changkong said solemnly.
When Zhu Ben heard this, he immediately complained and complained constantly.
At this moment, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and hit the open space next to him, frightening his complaints.
What I saw that fell down was a majestic black bear!
It's just that the teeth in this black bear's bloody mouth were shaved off with sharp tools, and dozens of holes and scratches were poked on its body.
It was as if his soul had passed away.
"Brothers, eat bear paws today!" Jia Taisui, who was naked and holding a silver halberd, also descended from the sky, stepped on the black bear, and shouted to the soldiers of Qianlong Camp not far away.
The Shanhaiguan area is surrounded by high mountains and lofty mountains. There is nothing else but a lot of wild animals.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, a wild beast is nothing more than game in Jia Taisui's eyes.
So in the past few days, the soldiers of Qianlong Camp have been eating meat.
Yesterday I ate tiger whip and today I eat bear paws. How can such a good thing happen?
Even the resentment of not being able to go to the battlefield has weakened a lot.
And this was exactly the method Li Changkong used to eliminate the resentment of the soldiers.
It was just that after Jia Taisui landed, his expression was a bit off. He walked up to Li Changkong and lowered his voice and said: "I have killed all the tigers and black bears around here in the past few days. If I want to eat meat again tomorrow, I am afraid I will have to go deep into the mountains. "
When Li Changkong heard this, he frowned and said, "How confident are you that you can return home intact after entering the mountains?"
"Ten percent." Jia Taisui rubbed his head.
Li Changkong: "???"
"Then what do you say to me? Since those beasts can't hurt you, just go."
"Oh, I just want to say that the round trip requires an extra stick of incense, so you have to wait a little longer."
"This doesn't matter."
"Divide the bear meat among the soldiers."
"okay!"
With that said, Jia Taisui took up his silver halberd and skinned the black bear.
The black bear in the deep mountains and old forests has strong muscles and bones, and is difficult to be injured by ordinary weapons. Only his silver halberd can be called a magic weapon. It is perfect for disembowelling, and it can also sharpen the halberd technique. Why not for?
After a long time, the black bear, which had been chopped into more than eighty parts, was divided, and the three thousand soldiers of Qianlong Camp started to feast on the dry food.
Li Changkong and others were also eating bear paws and were very happy.
…
Roar!
In the forest, a loud roar came.
Then, there was a bang and the rice bowl in someone's hand fell to the ground.
The leader was eight feet tall, handsome and handsome, but he had obvious characteristics of the Beiyuan people. The hair on his temples was thick, hanging down to his ears and temples, and he was not trimmed, making him look quite rough.
It was Yelu Qi, the son of King Zuoxian of the Yelu tribe among the three major tribes!
After hearing the sound of the rice bowl falling to the ground, he stood up with a displeased look on his face: "It's just a little beast's roar, and it's so pale. How can it be a big deal?"
When the man heard this, he immediately looked ashamed. He followed the example of Da Gan and lowered his head and said, "The general is guilty. I beg the general to punish him."
Yeluqi waved his hand and said: "Forget it this time, be careful next time!"
"We spent two years studying the culture of the Central Plains and imitating the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Central Plains people, just for today!"
"You can make mistakes now, but when it comes time to take action, if you make even the slightest mistake, you will lose everything!"
