Chapter 187: A Strange Cough
As for who the two women of the Khitan were, since they couldn't find out, they were put aside by Zhu Li. Vertices
After dinner, Zhu Li chatted with Gao Su about the wolf again.
Gao Su is different from Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao, although the two gentlemen have amazing intelligence, they have not been stationed in the grassland, while Gao Su, a strong general, has been fighting with the Di people on the grassland for many years, and he will be somewhat familiar with the habits of the creatures on the grassland.
"General, subordinates frankly admit that once a wolf is raised on a large scale, it is not a real wolf." Gao Su said solemnly, "I wonder if the general has heard the term 'seven wolves'?" ”
Seven wolves, Zhu Li has naturally heard of it, in later generations, this is a very fashionable clothing brand, as soon as he thought of this, Zhu Li nodded.
Seeing Zhu Li's acquiescence, Gao Su continued: "Since the general has heard of this word, he should know what it means, the number of wolves, the normal number is seven, and it is generally based on the family unit, the strongest couple in the family, or the strongest wolf, is the so-called head wolf." ”
"There is a strong competition between wolves and wolves, the smallest wolf pack is three or four, the largest is thirty or forty, one wolf pack, it is impossible to cooperate with other wolf packs, as for the matter of thousands of fierce wolves gathering together and attacking the target, it is a pure fictional thing, only a storyteller will say so."
"Without brutal competition for the survival of the fittest, wolves will soon lose their wildness, and without ferocious, bloodthirsty wildness, wolves cannot pose a threat to herders."
When Zhu Li heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was puzzled: "What do you mean, the wolves can't be raised?" ”
Hearing this, Gao Su pondered cautiously for a while, and then continued: "Yes, but the person who kept him must be trained and trained at the same time, and he must also live in the wild like a wolf. ”
"Only in this way can the real wolves be successfully raised on the premise of ensuring wildness; In this process, the person who keeps it can also help the wolves to annex other wolves, so as to grow the wolves themselves, but it is best not to exceed forty in a group. Gao Su sincerely suggested.
"If the general wants to have a large wolf pack to attack and harass the grassland Di people, he must train special guards, and each guard is responsible for a wolf pack."
"When attacking, you can choose different directions to attack, and never try to lead them to attack together, wolves are fierce beasts, not only within the group are clearly classified, but also very territorial."
"If they are forcibly gathered, they may attack each other first, instead of waiting for them to attack their targets." Gao Su said very solemnly, obviously quite familiar with the habits of the steppe wolf.
When Zhu Li heard this, his brows furrowed deeply, if the wolf could not form a large-scale accumulation, it would bring a lot of trouble to his plan, and it could be seen from Gao Su's serious expression that the other party's words were obviously not nonsense, and there must be some basis.
"Zhu once heard that during the Han Dynasty, there was Wusun King Kunmo, who grew up drinking wolf milk, and was very miraculous. Zhu also heard that the ancestors of the Turks were wolves, which were the descendants left behind by wolves and humans; Nomads worship wolves so much because of their fear of wolves. ”
"Wolves are herders' natural enemies, and it would be a pity if they weren't used for them." Zhu Li sighed, very unhappy.
This look in Gao Su's eyes made him feel enlightened, and then explained: "General, the words of his subordinates are not to comfort the general
Dispel the idea of the wolf, the subordinate means that if you want the wolf to drive away people, you must train a special guard, similar to the existence of the ghost guard. ”
"In this guard, everyone must be vigorous and very smart, and they must also adapt to survival in the wild, and every guard has the ability to act as the wolf king, only in this way can the effect that the general wants." Gao Su patiently explained.
When Zhu Li heard this, his expression moved, and he immediately said, "In your opinion, is it possible for us to train such a palace guard?" ”
"Yes." Gao Su affirmed.
"Hmm, how so?"
Gao Su didn't respond immediately when he heard this, but thought for a while, and then he spoke: "What does the general think of the ghost guard?" ”
Gao Su mentioned the ghost guard, Zhu Li didn't know why, but he knew that the ghost guard was the first to form an army, which started with Gao Su's hands.
After thinking about it seriously, he said solemnly: "Most of the ghost guards are elite people selected from the army, and now they are supplemented by the cultivation of the Seven Killing Sword, and their individual strength should definitely not be underestimated. ”
"Haha, yes, general, we can first select the elite from the ghost guards, and then select the elite, who can be called the elite among the ghost guards, individual abilities, it is definitely not difficult to deal with a wolf pack, as long as you cultivate their loyalty and the ability to survive in the wild, then it will not be difficult to make them become wolf guards." Gao Su bowed his hand and suggested, looking very confident.
After all, if you want to talk about understanding the ghost guard, even Guo Qizuo, the leader of the ghost guard, may not have Gao Su's understanding.
The plan was decided, Zhu Li just thought about it for a while, and then decided: "Okay, let's do it." ”
"This matter, you are in charge, the elite ghost guard selected will be named after the wolf guard you just said, I will tell Mr. Guo that you can pick people and train."
"Nuo" Gao Su immediately surrendered his order, and he was still very confident in cultivating a group of wolf guards, after all, the ghost guards were created by him.
At night in the grassland, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, especially now that it is just after the middle of winter and the early spring has just arrived.
In the evening, almost everyone in the barracks, except for the paradeing guards, entered the hot quilt early, otherwise they really couldn't stand the cold of the night.
Xin Qi Niang, as a craftsman, is responsible for the study of crossbow arrows, and the subordinates she led are also personally selected by her, all of whom are ingenious women, wearing soft armor, all of them look heroic.
In the barracks, a group of female soldiers suddenly appeared, which was easy to cause a commotion, which was a very rare thing in ancient times.
Under the arrangement of Zhu Li and Gao Su, the huge military camp opened up a vacant land of about 100 acres alone to house them, separated from other government guards, and issued a strict order that all other government guards who approached and approached the women's camp would be executed.
Only in this way can Zhu Li settle down.
Xin Qiniang didn't have any shelves, she and the little girl Yan'er, as well as several temporarily recruited subordinates, all stayed honestly in their one-acre and three-point fields.
With a huge tent and a big bunk sleeping together, Xin Qi Niang did not stand alone and lived alone.
During the night, around midnight, suddenly there was a noise outside the tent.
"Ahem"
A burst of coughing sounds, intermittently into the big tent, causing the more vigilant ladies to wake up one after another.
At first, they thought it was a patrol guard passing by, but after the sound passed, no one heard the footsteps, and the sound of "cough cough" was still intermittent
Came.
This can anger Xin Niangzi, I didn't expect that the first time I entered the barracks, I met a womanizer, this cough, since it was not from the patrol guards, it must be an unscrupulous person, quietly approaching their big tent, and even kept falling in love with the stack, it was just cowardly.
At this time, most of the little ladies who were subordinates woke up.
In the dark tent, they adapted to each other for a while, until they could see each other's figures, Xin Qi Niang immediately gestured to them, everyone understood, so they groped their way to get dressed and got up, ready to capture this bold "pervert" alive.
Everyone packed up and followed the sound of coughing, quietly approaching the crouching place of the "pervert".
"Ahem"
As soon as they got close to there, the coughing sound sounded, and the ladies suddenly opened the tent and rushed out.
But this rush out, everyone couldn't help but shudder, the temperature outside was too low was a reason, and more importantly, outside the big tent, there was no half of a figure everywhere.
This discovery made everyone instantly cold from their heads to their heels, and as soon as they rushed out, they immediately hugged each other like frightened rabbits.
Xin Niangzi was a little bolder, and besides, she was an official, how could she weaken her prestige, beat her spirit, and led everyone to search around the big tent, but still didn't find half a figure.
The group turned pale and entered the big tent tremblingly, but as soon as they entered the big tent, the sound of "cough cough" suddenly sounded again, and everyone heard it very clearly, and the direction from which the sound came was the place where everyone rushed out for the first time.
The women were frightened, but they still pretended to be strong, and when the sound of "cough cough" sounded again, they once again found the right direction and rushed out, the situation was still the same, the surroundings were still empty, not to mention people, not even a ghost.
At this time, a chill poured out in everyone's hearts, this strange encounter, it was because they couldn't hit the ghost.
Fortunately, these ladies have been trained, and no one made similar screams, or hysterical exclamations, and when they entered the big tent again, everyone looked at each other, but one by one they trembled like maple leaves in the autumn wind, and the two trembled, and it was difficult to sleep.
The women's battalion was quite far away from the big tents of the other guards, and it took a quarter of an hour to walk quickly in a straight line, and at night, even if you raised your eyes, you could only see some patrolling guards, so the movement here did not attract the attention of the other guards.
Xin Qi Niang comforted everyone, and said stubbornly: "Everyone stay here first, I'll go find someone to see if it's an evil thing, and I'll naturally understand later." ”
All the women of "Nuo" are her subordinates, and they naturally obey her orders.
After thinking about it, she felt uneasy again, and told again: "Everyone gather together, don't rush out, before leaving, the self-defense weapons issued to us by the general are all equipped on our bodies, and in times of crisis, it is good to be emergency, understand?" ”
"Understood." The women agreed with a bang, their voices were very loud, and they seemed to be bold.
"Ahem" At this time, the strange coughing sound sounded again, so that the girls who were still a little bold just now instantly turned into little quails that shrank again, this helpless and terrifying scene, Xin Qiniang frowned, but she still decided to find someone to come and see it as soon as possible.
