Chapter 40: Growing Strength

"All the hands of Buyeo City, you can choose." Seeing that Qin Qiong agreed to take over, Zou Yu said happily.

"Good!" Qin Qiong, who has a straightforward personality, didn't say much, just kept this trust in her heart, nodded and agreed.

Su Dingfang was the same, just smiled and nodded, Zou Yu couldn't help but look forward to the cavalry led by the two famous generals.

"I'm so stupid! Next year we won't have to be afraid of the cold anymore! Zou Yu suddenly patted his forehead and said.

"Brother Zou thought of a good way?" Su Dingfang asked curiously, it was the first time he had seen Zou Yu so annoyed, excited, and with such a complicated expression.

"Alas, it's all my fault, such a good way, I didn't think of it, otherwise even if we slept in the snow now, it wouldn't be too cold." Zou Yu sighed and said.

"Oh! Is there still such a way? Qin Qiong asked in surprise.

"Not bad! The solution is right in front of you. Zou Yu pointed ahead.

"You mean the flock?" Looking at the fence that was being strengthened in front of him, Qin Qiong asked.

"Exactly."

"Aren't we wearing sheepskin clothes now?" Su Dingfang glanced down and said.

"Although the sheepskin is good, but after all, it is limited, I am talking about wool, soaked in salt and alkali, wool is not only soft, but also tasteless, added to the clothes, even if it is ordinary cloth, it is comparable to a sheepskin jacket, not to mention cashmere, the value is equal to the weight of gold." Zou Yu didn't sell Guan Zi either, seeing that there were no outsiders, he introduced the two in a low voice.

Not to mention the warmth effect, a single sentence equivalent to the same weight of gold is staggering.

"The key is that wool is something that no one wants, and every year nomads have a headache about how to deal with wool, especially in spring, summer and autumn, herdsmen must cut off the sheep's hair and throw it away, otherwise the sheep will get sick from the heat." Zou Yu continued.

"So we can get it at a very cheap price." Qin Qiong raised her eyebrows and said.

"Not only is the price low, but the key is the large quantity! Not only the Khitans, but also the Murowei, and the Murwei, we can all buy them. Zou Yu said excitedly.

"It's really good, not to mention that the effect is so good, even if there is only a three-layer effect, no one in the world will freeze to death in the future." Qin Qiong said with a look in his eyes.

Qin Qiong glanced at Zou Yu cautiously, and he secretly decided that if Zou Yu had always treated his subordinates so well, he would stay and help him wholeheartedly.

"Brother Qin, is there something wrong with me?" Seeing that Qin Qiong's eyes were a little strange, Zou Yu glanced down at his body, touched his face and asked.

"It's okay, I'm thinking that Brother Zou is really good at his head, this kind of method can be thought of, you must know that sheep have appeared for countless years, but no one has ever come up with the idea of using wool." Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"Hey, hey!" Zou Yu smiled embarrassedly, this was invented by someone else, but he couldn't say it, so he had to be cheeky and acquiesce.

"Not only wool, but goat's milk is also a good thing, and the herdsmen often have so much of this thing that they throw it away." Zou Yu continued.

"Goat's milk? The taste is too strong and I don't like it. Qin Qiong frowned and said with disgust.

"The taste is almost, but nutrition, good for the body, and we are not drinking fresh milk, after collecting it, let it stand overnight, you can get a layer of cheese, dried is milk powder, when you need it, you can take it with boiling water, which can effectively supplement physical strength and nutrition." Zou Yu excitedly explained, these are two ways of wealth that others don't know, even if they are not sold, they are all very good resources, and they are really good and cheap.

"That's a good thing! When marching and fighting, prepare some, and the soldiers will not be able to maintain their combat effectiveness for a long time. Qin Qiong's eyes lit up and said.

is really worthy of being a famous general, and he immediately thinks of the army, which is exactly what Zou Yu thinks.

"Brother Qin is right, wheat is fried and milled, milk powder and dried meat are added, as military food, it is most suitable for long-distance travel."

"Yes, yes, in the past, the soldiers had to suffer a circle, and if this effect really happened, it would be great." Su Dingfang nodded in agreement.

"Of course it won't disappoint you, but we will have to wait until next year." Zou Yu said confidently.

Arrange for the captives to dig cellars, cellars for the winter, in fact, than tents, warmer, nomads spend the winter, prefer to live in tents, rather than live in houses, is because most of the houses have to leak wind, even so, the tent is living on the ground, it is still very cold, digging a cellar in the tent, the effect is much better, not too deep, not only warm, but also breathable.

Collect all the weapons and leather armor of the captives, and then arrest the leader and dispose of it, no one takes the lead, there is no weapon, plus the weather is cold, there is no mount, and there is no way to escape.

After repairing the camp for three days, and then set off again, this time it was a smaller tribe, and under the raid, it was also not much difficulty, so several times in a row, four tribes, before the action was stopped.

It's not that Zou Yu doesn't want to continue, but there are not enough people, and there are not enough people to guard them, four tribes, nearly 60,000 prisoners, 40,000 horses, 20,000 cattle, and 500,000 sheep.

Such a huge harvest stimulated everyone's eyes to turn red, and they screamed to destroy the Black Water Clan. Fortunately, Zou Yu and the others remained calm and calmed everyone.

At this time, the time has entered the great cause of ten years, and even if the winter combat is fully prepared, it is inevitable that there will be non-combat attrition, and there will be a lot of frostbite.

Fortunately, the herdsmen have summed up a wealth of experience in countless years of life, and they will be cured in a few days by wiping it repeatedly after the old ginger and the heat, and even when they go out, they wipe the exposed skin with animal fat, which can also prevent frostbite, but Zou Yu will definitely not let the skin be exposed.

In February of the tenth year of the Great Cause, Zhang Zhongjian returned to Fuyu City with 50 people; At the end of February, Liu Jin returned with a sixteen-year-old boy; At the beginning of March, unexpectedly, Li Keshi brought dozens of people to Buyeo City.

said that it was unexpected, but everyone didn't expect him to come back, after all, Li Keshi's family still has a lot of status in the imperial court.

"This is my cousin Han Qianxun, cousin Han Zhao." Li Keshi looked tired and introduced to everyone.

"Could it be that it is a three-pillar country, the son of the great general Han Baohu?" Everyone has heard of Li Keshi's family affairs, so Zhang Zhongjian asked in surprise.

"Ashamed, ashamed, Han Baohu is my father." Han Qianxun is a sturdy man, although he has a scruffy beard and a somewhat unkempt appearance, he can still be seen to be a handsome man with an extraordinary bearing.

"I heard a little before that the general had made great contributions to pacifying Yang Xuangan, how did he come here? Could it be that the imperial court knows that we occupy Buyeo City and wants to use this to send troops? Liu Jin's face changed and asked.
