Chapter 286: The North
Three days later. When Wang He's injuries improved, Wang Lang ordered him to go to Wu Feng's house in person to apologize.
The Wu family was flattered by Wang He's apology, and Wu Feng was also very moved by Wang He's apology, and his hatred for Wang He in his heart also decreased a lot.
From this day on, the two seemed to turn enemies into friends. They also helped each other in the school, and soon after, Wang Lang personally went to the Great Xia School Palace to give lectures to these children.
These kids have been learning for so long. Having basically learned most of the words, he felt it was time to teach them mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Of course, natural science starts with mathematics, and Wang Lang's first class is to let them know numbers, from 0 to 9, four simple operations, magic numbers and operation formulas, so that these children deeply understand the mystery of mathematics.
The only headache for them was that they had to memorize the complicated multiplication formula table before learning math.
In the process of teaching, even if Wang He is his son, Wang Lang does not treat him differently, and if he answers wrong, he will be punished, and if he answers correctly, he will be rewarded.
Wang Lang's practice of treating everyone equally and caring for the people of the country was widely spread by the people of the Xia Kingdom soon after, and slowly in the mouths of the people of the Xia Kingdom, he became the embodiment of a saint.
While Wang Lang was teaching in the school palace, a new gathering point was erected in the north.
After the fifty soldiers who remained here, the other four hundred heavily armed soldiers, led by the two generals, marched towards the north with great momentum.
As you move further north, the temperature gets colder and colder.
The grass of the grassland gradually appeared to wither yellow, and at night, the thin linen clothes could no longer stop the coolness of the grassland at night, and the soldiers could only light a bonfire and sit around the fire to drive away the cold of the night.
"Do you say that if you are walking forward for a month, the weather will get colder and colder?" asked Shi Yue.
Feng Hu, the leader of the fourth expedition, nodded and said: "General Shi, General Zhao, this north is different from ours, the weather there must be extremely cold, and we must be dressed in animal skins, and the little clothes we have on us now cannot withstand the severe cold there."
Shi Yue thought for a while and said, "General Zhao, I think we should replenish the supplies here first, and when we have collected enough animal skins, we will continue to move forward, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Jian nodded and said: "It seems that it can only be like this, Your Majesty asked us to arrest those wild people as soon as possible, but now in this situation, it is understandable to think that Your Majesty can delay a little time." ”
With the agreement of the two generals, the captivating troops rested here for more than a month, collected about hundreds of animal skins, and prepared enough warm clothing, and then continued their march north.
Two months later, the grasslands were gone, replaced by coniferous forests with trees and strange beasts that no one had ever seen before.
In the middle of these leaf-like bushes, you can vaguely see some palm-sized squirrels jumping in the forest, the forest is covered with thick snow, white snowfield, and a different kind of scenery, watching everyone feel relaxed.
"General Shi, General Zhao, this is where those savages live, these savages are extremely tough, last time our expedition was probably ambushed by them near here, killing and wounding four companions, you must not be careless." Feng Hu reminded.
Shi Yue smiled when she heard this: "It's just a group of savages, how powerful can it be, we have four hundred elite soldiers here, and if they dare to come, they will be our prey." ”
Zhao Jian also smiled and said, "General Shi is right, on this continent, there is no one who can be the enemy of my Great Xia army, Feng Hu!" I think you're scared by them."
Feng Hu just smiled awkwardly when he heard this, looked at the neatly armored troops behind him, and felt that he was too worried.
At this time, Zhao Jian said: "General Shi, I think we will separate here, you and I will each leave fifty people here to build a stronghold and take care of the supplies, and we will meet here in ten days, and act at the same time so that we can arrest some more people." ”
Shi Yue nodded and said: "It's okay, look at the number of people we will arrest at will in ten days, if I win, when I return to Yancheng, you have to invite my soldiers to have a good drink on the day." ”
Zhao Jian said with a smile: "How can I let you win, you can prepare the copper coins when the time comes, I'm afraid that your copper coins are not enough!" ”
Shi Yue smiled: "Then let's see the results in ten days, General Zhao, Shi will go first." ”
After saying that, after leaving fifty soldiers, he led his men to the east.
The corners of Zhao Jian's mouth curled, and he also arranged for fifty soldiers to stay here, leading the rest of the people to search for the wild man in the opposite direction to Shi Yue.
Shi Yue led the army to step on the thick snow, searching for possible wild people in this forest, but at the end of the day, except for hunting a few brown bears, no one was found here.
Just when Shi Yue felt that his luck was extremely bad, the soldiers exploring the path in front suddenly sent back a happy news: "Back to General Shi, I found human footprints in front of me, the footprints are very clear, it seems that I have not left for a long time." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Shi Yue's mouth curled and said, "It seems that our good luck has come, and we order the whole army to cheer up and capture the prey!" ”
The excited soldiers followed the footprints on the snow, followed all the way, and finally found a group of wild people in a cave three days later.
The wild men in the cave looked at this group of strange-looking humans who suddenly appeared, and they suddenly panicked, huddled together and looked at Shi Yue and them vigilantly.
"We are the heavenly army of the Great Xia Kingdom, according to His Majesty's order, you have been classified as the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, and those who know each other will come out obediently, otherwise you will not be able to bear the pain of flesh and skin." Shi Yue shouted towards the cave.
The white men in the cave had no idea what Shi Yue was talking about, and at this time, a rather sturdy white man brandished a spear and roared at Shi Yue, his hideous expression was extremely angry at a glance.
Although the language barrier, Shi Yue could still see from their actions that they didn't want to be arrested obediently, and snorted coldly: "Arrest them all." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers took the order with a bang, and approached the cave little by little with neat steps.
Looking at the approaching army, the wild people in the cave became more panicked, and seeing that they had no way to retreat, these people who had been living in the wild for a long time suddenly burst out.
Men, women, and children all took up their weapons and rushed towards the army with their teeth and claws.
Seeing that these people still dared to attack him, Shi Yue sneered: "I really don't know whether to live or die." ”
But he knew that Wang Lang wanted the living, not the dead, so he ordered the army: "Try not to shoot them, just tie them up." ”
