The weather is slowly getting colder, the leaves are gradually turning yellow, and winter is coming

At this time, the general tribe will quickly organize the young and strong to hunt, try to store more food for the winter, sometimes, the young and strong in the clan will go out for a few days, and even, there will be casualties.

At this time, none of the young men and women of the Black Stone Department went out to hunt, including middle-aged men and women who were no longer young but still had the strength to be strong, and they were all practicing desperately outside the main gate of Salt Stone City at this time.

They don't need to worry about food at all, because the salt department has already prepared all the food for them for the winter, and the only thing they have to do is to keep practicing, practicing desperately!

The effect of this desperate exercise is naturally quite good, and in less than two months, they have practiced decently.

On this day, Zhao Hao suddenly called Cangwu to the city wall, as if he wanted Cangwu to see the results of the exercise.

Cangwu is used to being a shopkeeper at this time, and every day, he also manages the old and weak women and children in the clan, helping them to do their best, carrying beams, putting tiles on them, and he is very comfortable all day.

He hadn't seen the sturdy drills in the clan for a long time, because it looked like just a few movements, and everyone would get tired of it, not to mention, he just had a fiery temper with little patience.

Of course, Zhao Hao asked him to come over and take a look, he still had to watch it, after all, to resist Xue Man's Department, he was counting on this heavenly general.

To be honest, although Zhao Hao's training of the elite in the clan seemed simple and boring, the effect was surprisingly good, and at this moment, the strength of his Black Stone Department looked even better than the soldiers of Xue Man's department.

He looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "General Tian, you are still powerful, now, I am afraid that the elite in my clan is not worse than the soldiers of the Xue Barbarian Tribe, right?" ”

Zhao Hao looked at the Black Stone Fifth Battalion that was practicing, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, at this time, if the number of people is about the same, they will definitely win against the soldiers of the Shangxue Barbarian Division." ”

Do you need to have about the same number of people to win?

There are more than 1,000 soldiers in the Xue Man's Department, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers in the west wing of the Xue Man's Department alone.

Cang Wu was a little worried: "Then when will they be able to defeat the two thousand soldiers on the west flank of Xue Man's army?" ”

Zhao Hao estimated: "If you insist on practicing, it should be almost the same after this winter." ”

When Cang Wu heard this, he subconsciously said: "Can you still practice in winter?" ”

Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Of course you can, although you can't practice all day, but during the noon time, you can still practice, don't worry, they are all wearing their shoulders, and they won't freeze when they come out to practice for a while." ”

At this time, the sturdiness of the Black Stone Department is all the same sheepskin shoulders, and it looks neat, of course, these are provided by the Salt Department.

In winter, he still runs outside with his clansmen, Cangwu really hasn't tried it, and as for how to practice in winter, he doesn't know how to practice.

These things, anyway, Zhao Hao is in charge, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

He nodded very dryly and said, "Well, you can come as you say, but then I will have to work hard for you again." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao shook his head and said: "What am I working hard, what is the hard work is Ah Hua and a few of them, I came to you today just to tell you, wait a minute, I will go back to the Ministry of Salt, after all, I am the leader of the Ministry of Salt, no matter what, I have to take my own people to spend the winter." ”

Yes!

When Cang Wu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "You went back, what should they do?" ”

Zhao Hao said lightly: "Don't worry, I have already explained to Ah Hua and them, and they will not follow me back, and it is no problem to hand over the winter exercises to them." I really want to go back, and if I don't go back, I won't have time to prepare. ”

He was really in a hurry to go back, because the people of the Yan tribe were already preparing to move.

It is definitely not possible to leave all the clansmen near the lake where Kui was located for the winter, because there is nothing to cover there, and in winter, it is definitely cold and cold, even if people are fine, cattle, sheep and horses can't stand it, especially cattle and horses, they don't have thick fluff, and they stay in the snow without any shelter for the winter, and they have to freeze to death in a large area.

Therefore, he had already planned that during the winter, all the tribesmen and livestock would be moved to the jungle near the grassland to avoid the cold wind.

The place he chose was on both sides of the creek near the bamboo forest where Meng Lan and Meng Bao were.

At this time, the grassy jungle over there has been built into a cow pen, a sheep pen and a stable, and the people of the salt tribe are waiting for him to return and lead the migration.

After Zhao Hao explained to Cang Wu, he directly took Ah Yun and Ah Yue, crossed the original Black Stone Ridge, rode on the white dragon that had been waiting there for a long time, and went straight to the lake where Kui was located.

After they arrived at the gathering place of the Salt Tribe, they rested in a hurry for the night, and the next morning, he and his people began to dismantle the tents and prepare to migrate.

There is nothing to say about this migration, the nomads are already living in constant migration, and it is not the first time that the people of the salt tribe have migrated, plus their population is not large, and there are so many horses that they are scary, and at this time, they are basically able to skillfully control the horses, and the migration is naturally much easier than before.

The whole migration process lasted about five or six days, and after the cattle, sheep and horses were herded into the cow pens, sheep pens and stables in the jungle, the people of the Youyan tribe also began to set up tents on both sides of the river to prepare for the winter.

At this time, it seems that there is nothing to do, but Zhao Hao is quite clear that next, it is called busy.

Because, cattle, sheep and horses have to eat for the winter!

In winter, the snow covers the entire grassland, and if you want to graze easily, let the cattle, sheep and horses graze on their own, it is definitely impossible, and it is impossible for the cattle, sheep and horses to cut through the thick snow and eat the grass below.

Therefore, at this time, they must prepare a large amount of hay to ensure that the cattle, sheep and horses will not starve to death due to lack of food in winter.

This thing is commonly known as grass beating.

As for how much grass to be freshed, it depends on the number of cattle, sheep and horses.

This guy, there are as many as 40,000 or 50,000 cattle, sheep and horses here in the salt department, and the amount of hay that needs to be prepared can be imagined.

After the migration was completed, Zhao Hao took his mother and Ah Yue every day, constantly waving divine weapons, squatting on the grass and desperately cutting and cutting, three people, it was just like three lawn mowers.

Ah Yun led the other clansmen to lead the horses to follow behind, constantly baling the cut hay, loading it on the horse's back, and pulling it back.

The process of beating grass lasted directly for nearly a month, until the first heavy snow of winter came, and the grassland had become white, Zhao Hao had to stop mowing the grass, and took the clansmen back to the vicinity of the bamboo forest, ready to spend the winter.

The forage they beat is definitely not enough for forty or fifty thousand cattle and sheep to eat for a winter, but, fortunately, there are weeds in the jungle, and the jungle naturally has the effect of sheltering the wind and snow, even if the snow is heavy, it can generally only cover the top of the trees, as for the bottom of the trees, there are still many places that will not be covered by ice and snow, and the grass there can also be beaten in winter.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Hao migrated all his cattle, sheep and horses to the jungle for the winter, without these weeds in the jungle, he really didn't know if he could let forty or fifty thousand livestock survive this winter.
