Chapter 230: Exhausting the Prairie

Hong Zhu got the news and chased a thousand kilometers, but he didn't catch up with the wolf people.

Fearing that they had chased them, they made a roundabout way to find them, and thus delayed them on the grassland.

Their supplies were extremely depleted, and food, forage, and combustibles were scarce. Hong Zhu decided to kill the animals to eat meat, reduce the consumption of forage, and at the same time take oil and burn it. As the number of animals goes by, the number of animals decreases. So much so that in the end, everyone had to basically give up riding and ride a sled.

Before they encountered a blizzard, the sleigh that pulled the tent was left behind. When they found the sleigh in the snowstorm, they found that the sleigh had been attacked by wolves, and both humans and animals had been eaten. Even the tents were bitten to pieces.

As a last resort, Hong Zhu once again ordered the livestock to be killed, the belly of the animal was opened, the intestines were removed, and everyone squeezed into the belly of the animal to keep warm and survive the snowstorm.

This brought most of the people back to life, but the animals were naturally killed.

Later, they lost their cattle and had to give up the search and go back. People walk slowly and snow. If it weren't for the people who were looking for them, I was afraid that their losses would be even greater. It is estimated that it will take even longer to return.

Things will become clear by this time. The wolf people did not stay in the north for the winter, but quietly moved to the southwest, and possibly even to the south, in the mountains.

Probably because these mountains are also where wild horses spend their winters.

When they encountered Chuansheng's team, they destroyed Chuansheng's team. Later, they let the fox people repeat their old tricks and enter the team of Blazing, only to find that there are weaknesses in the Blazing that can be exploited or for other reasons, they have forced down in the Blazing.

Out of the feelings or pedantry of a literary and artistic youth, Chizhong also wrote a letter to Lin Ji to express his suffering. It probably also meant to explain to Lamb's daughter: Look, I may not be brave enough to fight, but I can still do something—I can take the king's troubled enemies to the edge of the sky.

Hong Zhu saw the danger of surrendering in the blazing and chased after him, but almost made himself unable to come back.

After asking these questions, Lin Ji put away the scimitar and took Hong Zhu's people down for treatment and rest. These people will go through some scrutiny. If Hong Zhu told the truth, not only would they have no fault, but they would have merit. However, this will be said after the review is over.

Lin Ji turned around and summoned people familiar with Blazing and the team to assess the dangers of the incident.

Familiar with the round smile in the blazing and the centurion in the blazing told the experience of the blazing one by one.

Before defeating the deer, most of the army was semi-professional, so he hauled mines, burned charcoal, beat iron, tamed elephants, and built city walls. Because people are more intelligent, more literate, and can count. As for farming, what everyone learns, of course, is no problem.

When such a person arrives in the enemy camp, it is naturally equivalent to leaking half of Huaxia's technology.

The most terrible thing is that he thought he was kind enough to bring the people of the wolf clan to the west, but he just won enough living space for the people of the wolf clan.

In order to cultivate everyone's broad vision, the forest site has popularized the general geography of the earth. Such a person in the blazing must have understood. It's hard to say where he'll take the wolf clan.

In other words, Lin Ji's plan to destroy the wolf clan has really appeared in a serious crisis.

Could it be that the wolf clan is destined to rule the grassland forever? Lin Ji wondered.

"Didn't he say that he still had his heart set on Huaxia? He's not going to leak all of this, is he? "Some people are lucky.

"Stupid, he can be blackmailed once, but he can't be blackmailed a second time?" Lin Ji is not angry.

He felt that this time it was his negligence. In terms of personnel management, he did not set reasonable restrictions, so that such a "generalist" appeared. Although many things in this blazing may be half-understood, as long as you are willing to take the time and effort to get them, it is still very likely to be made in the right direction. In the case of human life, sometimes a brutal approach does not produce bad results.

Maybe the wolf clan will be like a tiger from this time on, and become like the next generation.

"Is it really that serious?" Bayang saw Lin Ji's worries, and also paid attention to it.

Lin Ji said: "Strategically, you can despise the enemy, but tactically you must pay attention to the enemy. In my opinion, it is appropriate to pay attention to the enemy no matter how much you value. So let's take the worst of the situation and plan for it. ”

After the meeting ended, Lin Ji talked to Hong Zhu's people one by one, confirmed various news, and tried to find useful clues.

A day later, Lin Ji sent three hundred elephant soldiers with a round smile to the west to reconnoitre. Range of a thousand km.

Three days later, Lin Ji increased the number of people in the blacksmith workshop and began to build horseshoes on a large scale. Half a month later, the first team of 100 horsemen pressed all the horseshoes and began to train on horseback for a long time. After that, the number of training teams gradually increased, reaching the scale of 1,000 people before the beginning of spring.

In addition, the production of riding bows was increased, and the production of arrows and short spears was carried out according to the general rules.

This winter, Lin Ji also repeated with Bayang and Yuanxiao to sort out the work arrangements after the Spring Festival, how to assemble and connect the tribe if it produces and lives, how to expand and so on.

Lin Ji also decided to leave Yuanxiao on the grassland at this time, and the time would be at least three years. At least half of the elephant cavalry he brought with him will remain here. The mammoths will stay here.

The way of production and life on the grassland refers to the habits of the grassland in later generations, but the forest traces have made some detailed specifications.

The Mongol tribes will later be divided into ten branches. Each section is divided into a meadow from east to west and a mountain forest to the south.

The grazing range of each branch is 100 kilometers from east to west, from these mountains and forests in the south to the north and the North Pole in the north. Every year, everyone grazes their cattle, starting from the south in the spring and returning from the north in the fall. On this side of the mountain forest, a gathering point such as Juyingpo will be built for farming and wintering.

This kind of planning is somewhat like the division of the North American prairie, and the territory of these ten divisions is quite regular in the north-south direction on the map.

I believe that in this way, the grassland people who like to run around are basically fixed.

Later, as the population increases, everyone will naturally expand northward.

If it is to expand further westward, the number of branches will continue to increase. Until the entire Eurasian steppe is divided.

During this time, everyone saw the urgency of the forest traces, so everyone did not dare to slack off in this process, and tried their best to complete all the work assigned by the forest traces.

Plan for these, and spring has arrived. The wolves in the west are literally almost gone. No trace of them was found throughout the winter.

The thousand cavalrymen who had been almost tied to their horses for a winter by the forest traces also appeared as the steppe cavalry should be. They are all skilled in riding, and they communicate with horses as well as with people. Quite a few people were able to sleep on their horses, and most were able to ride and shoot.

Lin Ji took them to the grassland for three days and then returned to Juyingpo to rest, and then prepared to rope the entire grassland.
