235 Consolidation

Two days later, Zhao Hao and his entourage finally set off.

They rode four strange beasts, beat their horses and galloped wildly for a few minutes before they came to the Haotian River.

At this time, the bridge on the Haotian River has long been less busy than when it was built in the Netherworld, and there is no horse-drawn carriage team on the bridge, only a few people from the Netherworld Valley or the Garuda camp are slowly pacing on it.

The reason why these people are pacing on the bridge deck is not to enjoy the scenery on the river, this is the rule set by Zhao Hao, in order to prevent damage to the bridge, no one is allowed to beat a horse and run on the bridge deck.

After all, this bridge is a pure wooden structure, and if hundreds of pounds of horses and more than 100 pounds of people run around on it, it is estimated that it will not be long before the bridge will be shaken loose.

The group of four also slowly paced across the bridge according to the rules, and then began to gallop wildly, heading straight to the garrison of the Garuda camp.

It was the first time for Ji Rushuang and Ji Wei to leave the Nanban Mountains and enter the wild jungle, and the towering giant trees and dense jungles that could be seen everywhere here were really a bit new to the two of them.

Ji Rushuang is better, after all, her personality is relatively calm, but Ji Wei's face is flushed with excitement, and she just wants to go into the dense forest and have a good time.

The speed of the alien beasts is not comparable to that of ordinary horses, although the four alien beasts are carrying a person on their backs and carrying hundreds of catties of meat, they are still walking like a fly, as fast as thunder.

In less than two hours, the exit of the wild jungle was already in sight, dense stables and cattle pens gradually appeared on both sides of the road, and the people of the Garuda camp gradually increased.

This is already the place where the Garuda camp spends the winter.

It stands to reason that once spring begins, the generals of each battalion will lead their tribesmen to the north to graze their cattle and gradually penetrate deeper into the grasslands, feeding their livestock while searching for the herds of bison, wild sheep and wild horses scattered in the depths of the grasslands.

However, at this time, the generals of the battalions did not do this, because they had to subdue all the stubborn tribes this year and integrate all the forces in the southern part of the steppe, so they left most of the elite in the wintering place at the junction of the grassland and the wild jungle.

This is the reason why there are more and more people in the Garuda battalion, and if it were to be changed to another year, I am afraid that a few teams of elite cavalry left behind here will be seen here.

The group walked out of the wild jungle, and in front of them was the endless prairie.

At this time, Beishan's aunt set up the tent not far from the exit, so the four of them quickly saw the huge tent.

Ji Wei had seen this tent, but it was the first time he had seen such a huge tent as the Shuai tent.

When he saw the Shuai Tent, Ji Wei was already dumbfounded, and when he saw the cattle, sheep and horses all over the Shuai Tent, he couldn't help but exclaim: "You have so many cattle, sheep and horses!" ”

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Our Haotian Department doesn't just have so many cattle, sheep and horses, these are just from the Garuda camp." ”

Is this a lot of cattle, sheep and horses?

The cattle, sheep and horses around the tent seem to be a lot, but in fact, there are only more than 10,000 heads, which is almost nothing.

You must know that when Zhao Hao led the elite into the Nanban Mountains, Haotian already had two or three hundred thousand cattle, sheep and horses, and at this time, the cattle, sheep and horses in the eight battalions added up to four or five hundred thousand, and these more than 10,000 heads are really nothing.

They had just beaten their horses and arrived near the handsome tent, and Beishan's mother had already hurried up to meet them.

When she looked at this camp, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Big Leader, Rushuang Girl, Ah Hua, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Hao smiled and said: "I went to the Heavenly God Camp to have some business, and I passed by your Garuda Camp and came over to take a look." ”

After speaking, he directly turned over and dismounted, wrapped the reins around the white dragon's back, patted the white dragon's back again, and motioned it to go around the neighborhood by itself, and then took Ji Rushuang and them, followed behind Beishan Aunt, and walked towards the handsome tent.

Everyone entered the handsome tent, Beishan's mother gave in politely, insisted on letting Zhao Hao sit on the main seat, and arranged again, and invited Ji Rushuang's brothers and sisters and Ah Hua to sit down, and then asked curiously: "The big leader went to the Tianshen camp this time to attack Xue Man's department, right?" ”

Zhao Hao did not shy away from saying: "Yes, I went to see the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe, how is it, how are you prepared, how are those stubborn tribes subdued?" ”

When Beishan Auntie heard this, she said quite confidently: "I have already led people to take down the largest tribe, and the other tribes, I have let my subordinate lieutenants be responsible for subduing them, and it is estimated that it will take less than half a year to subdue them all." ”

Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said: "Well, after the subduation, organize the young people of the tribes as soon as possible, and practice well, in the spring of next year, we will prepare for war, and at that time, each battalion will pull out at least five or six hundred elites." “

Five or six hundred, which is really a lot, you know, at this time, the elite cavalry under the commander of the eighth battalion is only about five hundred.

Hearing this, Beishan Auntie frowned and pondered for a while, and then carefully suggested: "Great Chief, can we choose some elites from those captives, after all, they are the elites who can go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Captive?

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He really forgot about these prisoners, aren't they all captured from the battlefield?

He thought for a moment, and then muttered, "How loyal are these captives, this time, we are attacking their lair. ”

Beishan Auntie estimated: "If you want to say that there are no problems with everything, it is naturally impossible, but most of them should have no problems, after all, they have been in our Haotian Department for almost a year, and we are not bad to them." ”

Zhao Hao thought about it again, and then slowly shook his head and said, "This is not in a hurry for the time being, let's talk about it when I go to see the leader of the Nanjiang Clan." ”

Hearing this, Beishan's mother nodded slightly, and then asked, "By the way, big leader, are you going to rest here for a day or will you set off later?" ”

This, logically speaking, if you are in a hurry, you naturally can't rest for a day every time you go, after all, it's not yet noon at this time, and if you rush desperately, it won't be a problem to run seven or eight hundred miles the rest of the time.

However, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry to leave, because he still had a lot of time, and there was still more than half a month before the day of meeting Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe.

Besides, when they came out this time, they didn't bring tents or clay pots or anything, and if they stayed overnight on the road, it would be more troublesome.

And the closest Asura camp settlement to the Garuda camp is still thousands of miles away, if they set off now, they will definitely not be able to reach the Asura camp settlement at night, so he still decided to rest in the Garuda camp settlement for a day, and set off again tomorrow morning to rush to the Asura camp settlement.

So, what do you have to do with most of the day?

Zhao Hao was pondering there, but Ji Wei said excitedly: "Otherwise, let's go hunting in the wild jungle, just ran all the way over, I saw a lot of beasts dodging in the jungle." ”

This guy just can't be idle.

Haotianbu really can't look down on the beasts in the wild jungle, because they can't eat all the cattle and sheep they raise, so why bother to hunt in the wild jungle.

However, if it's a pastime, it's not bad.

Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to hunt, it just so happens that I haven't eaten the mountain treasures in the wild jungle for a long time." ”
