Chapter 583: Camping in the Mountains and Forests
The people sent by Wang Yue traced the place where Liu Xian and Wang Qing had gone into the mountains and forests.
There are not too many traces of fighting along the way, it should be that those Hun cavalry chased Liu Xian to these places, and then did not pursue any further.
For Liu Xian, those who know it are still relatively confident, because the people who have been following Liu Xian in the past two years have indeed seen Liu Xian's progress in martial arts, even if he has not broken through to the realm of second-rate masters, he can really feel that Liu Xian is improving every day.
A person who is difficult to assassinate even Wang Yue, they all believe that Liu Xian must have his own uniqueness and will not be easily killed. Because, in their minds, Liu Xian is actually a god-like person.
Looking at everything Liu Xian has done, perhaps, it will feel very ordinary, but all this is not something that ordinary people can do. It is equivalent to feeding thousands of people by one person, and if there is no Liu Xian, they still don't know where to live a difficult life.
Therefore, no matter what, they firmly believe that Liu Xian will not have any surprises.
Now, the whole county, including some people who knew that Liu Xian had been attacked by the Xiongnu tribes and horses of Yufuluo, were a little indignant, and they all hated to destroy the Huns who attacked Liu Xian.
Because they really didn't dare to imagine the consequences after losing Liu Xian. What they eat and drink now, what they live in, what they cultivate, etc., are all because of Liu Xian.
Some things are as simple as that, when they are most difficult to fall, who helps them, who can give them a bite to eat, who can let them survive, then they will support and support whom.
What's more, when Liu Xian gave them all this, he also paid special attention to publicizing them, of course, not to publicize the kindness he had exerted on them? Rather, it is to let these people understand some truths. Understand how they got what they had? Is that because of the policies that Liu Xian pushed out, it was Liu Xian who influenced their local government? Did Liu Xian withstand the pressure from the court? It would take Liu Xian to pay countless sums of money personally to be able to introduce policies that would benefit their people's lives, production, and their future.
If there is no Liu Xian? Then there is no way to talk about everything they have now. Without Liu Xian's influence and even control of the local government, who knows after changing the head of the government? What policies will be pursued?
What are the policies of rent reduction and interest relief? Is it still possible to execute? Will the houses and fields that have been allocated to them be repossessed?
Liu Xian is one of their backbones, and none of them allows this backbone to have a little accident.
After this incident, the entire Upper County? Are the Han people or tribesmen who have benefited from the current Shangjun government good? There has been a situation of unprecedented unity.
On the one hand, they are desperately developing production, and on the other hand, they are also paying attention to those tribesmen who are not united enough for the government, especially those tribesmen who have sneaked in to be spies. It will be reported to the government immediately, and all those who have bad intentions will be arrested. So? For a while, Shangjun was a bit like the whole people grasping the meticulous work.
But? That's all for later.
At this time, Liu Xian and Wang Qing were resting in a cliff cave in the mountain forest.
Liu Xian and Wang Qing are both second-rate masters? So? In the middle of the mountains? There's nothing to stop them.
Not to mention that those Hun cavalry did not pursue, even if they pursued, they could not imagine that they could catch up with Liu Xian and Wang Qing. What's more, what if you catch up? Not a dead yet?
Liu Xian didn't want to kill more, so it was best if those Hun cavalry didn't chase into the mountains and forests.
Of course, Liu Xian hoped that those Hun generals, such as those sharpshooters, would chase them in, because Liu Xian really felt that those sharpshooters were a threat. If there was a way to kill them, Liu Xian would be happy to kill them.
The Han and the Xiongnu have always been in a hostile position. In the future, if you can kill them now, you will be less of a threat in the future.
I am not afraid, I am afraid that my generals will encounter them on the battlefield in the future.
It's okay to have one and a half marksmen, but that's too much, and ten of them popped up at once.
It can be said that ten marksmen are enough to make super masters like Wang Yue, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei feel threatened, and even if one is careless and careless, he may be hated on the spot.
If it is an ordinary general, being targeted by so many marksmen on the battlefield, I am afraid that it is really difficult to escape.
The reason why the Huns have always been able to become the henchmen of the Han Dynasty is that in addition to their fierce fighting and ruthlessness, and everyone is proficient in riding and archery, there are indeed many marksmen among them.
There is no way to do this, these nomads, do not engage in production, only rely on grazing and hunting to survive. This herding doesn't have to be good, so they have been practicing riding and archery all their lives, from the time they can climb on horseback, and the whole people practice, it is their instinct, it is their life, and it has become a part of their daily routine. So, naturally, there are many marksmen with superb archery skills.
This situation is actually similar to a sport in later generations.
That's football.
For those football powers, football is equivalent to a national sport for them, and it has become a part of their lives. So, almost every one of them has been exposed to practice since they were young, and so many people practice football, there will always be someone who stands out from it and becomes a football star.
Now, aren't the shooters of the Huns equal to the football stars of later generations?
And now, when facing the Huns, the Han has always been in a relatively passive situation.
This is also a matter of no choice, after all, the Han does not have so many cavalry, and even if there are cavalry, the riding skills are not as good as the aliens who have lived on horseback all their lives. The cavalry of the Huns came and went like the wind, if they were in the territory of the Han Dynasty, it would be better, because in their own place, they were more familiar with the terrain and terrain, as long as they grasped the movements of the Hun cavalry, then there would always be a way to deal with them.
However, if it is in the desert grassland, then there is no way, it is difficult for the Han army to grasp their whereabouts in the vast desert grassland, and if the Han army goes deep into the desert grassland, then it may be attacked by the Hun cavalry at any time, and it is completely in a passive situation.
Moreover, if the Han army penetrates deep into the desert steppe, then logistics supply is also a problem.
Therefore, except for the heyday of the Han Dynasty, in peacetime, the Han Dynasty was basically on the defensive in the face of aliens on the desert grassland.
Therefore, there is a saying that Han people are good at defending and foreign people are good at attacking.
Of course, this good defense and good offense actually depends on the situation.
The so-called good attack of the aliens refers to attacking the shortcomings of the Han army with their strengths on the terrain suitable for their cavalry operations, which is naturally a good attack.
If you let them come to the Great Wall Pass to attack and see? Do you want to hit their heads against the thick walls of the Great Wall?
So, these are also relative.
Now that Liu Xian and Wang Qing have gone into the mountains and forests, do they still dare to pursue them? In the mountains and forests, the cavalry is completely useless, and when they enter the mountains and forests, they just wait to be slaughtered.
This is also the reason why the cavalry is not allowed to enter the forest.
Liu Xian originally planned to leave the mountains and forests before dark, to see if he could reach the official road to the Yellow River crossing, and then find some official post stations along the way, or directly find the local government offices, and ask them to report their safety to Shangjun and Zengshan counties. However, the reality made Liu Xian feel that it was easy to enter the forest and difficult to get out of the forest.
Drilling in the mountains and forests, sometimes it is indeed easy to get lost.
Especially after dark, if there are no stars in the sky to guide the way, you can't walk at all.
Therefore, even if Liu Xian and Wang Qing are both second-rate masters, they are not too worried about encountering beasts or anything in the forest, but after dark, Liu Xian is not ready to hurry. Then he found a cliff cave in the mountains and forests, and planned to spend the night here with Wang Qing, and then hurry to the Yellow River crossing tomorrow.
Liu Xian still had a bow and arrows on his body, and in this battle, Liu Xian didn't use a bow and arrow, and the arrows in the quiver were still full.
Before it got dark, Liu Xian shot some pheasants and other prey.
They were slaughtered and cleaned in the water of the mountain stream below the cave, and then taken to the cave to roast.
When they broke out of the encirclement, Liu Xian and Wang Qing both consumed a lot of internal strength. But Liu Xian is relatively quick to recover, so let Wang Qing recover his internal strength first.
Liu Xian baked and ate, so that Wang Qing stopped recovering.
After Wang Qing became Liu Xian's personal guard, he really didn't have any chance to see Liu Xian make something to eat with his own hands. In fact, she has been paying attention to Liu Xian's every move, and seeing Liu Xian busy and busy, she is still quite happy, because, at the beginning, this young man was a high-ranking figure, and she never thought that such a person would have such a careful and considerate time.
Even where she sat cross-legged to recover her internal strength, Liu Xian first made some soft and comfortable hay to lay on before letting her sit down.
Her heart has been difficult to calm down for a long time, and everything she has experienced today is like a dream. Liu Xian was really able to bring her out of the thousands of troops. You must know that Liu Xian is a person he originally wanted to protect, but now it has become Liu Xian who is guarding her.
If she didn't really like Liu Xian before, then now, one of her hearts has indeed been tied to Liu Xian.
Such a heroic boy is such a careful and considerate man, how could she not like it?
Liu Xian used a few big evergreen leaves to fill some clean water and let Wang clean his hands.
"Senior Sister Qing, let's go out, don't be too particular, just deal with a meal, deal with a night, tomorrow we leave the mountains and forests, and it will be easy to do when we get to the official road."
Liu Xian delivered a steaming roasted pheasant to Wang Qing's hands.
Smelling the fragrant roast chicken, Wang Qing's little stomach suddenly gurgled, making her blush all of a sudden.
Liu Xian pretended not to hear, and then tore off a chicken leg from the roast chicken in his hand, sent it to her small mouth, and said, "Come, take a bite first." ”
"I ...... Good ......"
Wang Qing refused a little at first, but when he saw Liu Xian's burning eyes, he couldn't help but feel confused, and lowered his head and took a bite.
A hot fragrance entered her mouth, lifting her spirits.
"So delicious, huh?" She couldn't help but urge.
"Hey, I have salt on me, and now between spring and summer, many plants have grown very well, and I saw some weeds by the stream that could be used as spices, so I picked and pressed them into juice, and smeared them on the pheasants and roasted them together, so it was so fragrant. Eat it. We were all covered in blood and uncomfortable. After eating, let's go to a pool of water below to wash up. ”
"Oh......" Wang Qing replied with some shame.
She was about to take another bite of Liu Xian's difficult leg that Liu Xian put on her mouth, but Liu Xian took it back, and took a bite on the traces of her bite, and then winked at Wang Qing and said, "Your liquid is the best seasoning, well, it's really fragrant." Eat it, I'll roast another hare in a minute. “
"Badass!" Wang Qing saw Liu Xian teasing her, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Xian, and then shyly concentrated on dealing with the roast chicken in his hand, as if biting Liu Xian.
I hadn't eaten for most of the day, and after a fierce battle, I was really hungry, and Liu Xian quickly killed a pheasant.
The girl ate slowly, Liu Xian asked her to eat slowly, and he began to get busy again.
Liu Xian and Wang Qing both brought their burdens, and Liu Xian took his own clothes from the baggage and went to the stream to wash them first.
Not long after, after washing, a large pile of hay and firewood was brought back from the mountains and forests.
At this time, the mountains and forests are already very dark.
Liu Xian made a torch with some resin, inserted it into the river, and asked Wang Qing, who had eaten well, to clean it.
Wang Qing has the experience of traveling with his master, and he is only a common thing for such things, and he does not pay so much attention to it.
She is not so weak, nor is she so pretentious as an ordinary woman, and she does not ask Liu Xian to accompany and guard her.
In fact, the cave is not far from the side of the mountain stream, and the surrounding conditions are all within Liu Xian's sensing range.
Not long after, after Wang Qing cleaned up, when he returned to the cave, he felt a hot air.
When she looked at it, she couldn't help but be a little speechless.
It turned out that Liu Xian had arranged all the caves.
Not only did two or three fires be lit, but the heat emitted from the fires made the whole cave look extremely warm.
And Liu Xian also deliberately laid hay in the middle of the cave, spread some clothes on it, and made it look like a big bed, and also used those large leaves to string up around it to make a screen, and surrounded the hay bed, making it really look like a bed.
