Xu Mabang's face sank: "If you don't say a word, there are no fewer cottage guards than Huluyan at the nearby peaks such as Mocone Mountain, Sow Ridge, and Daguding." We have gained a lot this time, once we find these peaks and unite to deal with us in one place, do you think we can resist it? If you act recklessly like you, you will die in less than half the way. ”

"But the first few times I went down the mountain to rob, no one dared to make up my mind!" Jiang San'er was not convinced.

Xu Mabang said sharply: "The first few robberies of wealth and goods did not reach the point of making people red, and besides, the big households you robbed did not go out of the range of Hulu Rock!" Okay, you are not allowed to say any more, Lao Hu, you continue. Xu Ma Bang turned his gaze to Hu Dadao.

"Great Commander, the key is not to leak the news, before we transport the goods and grain, we must not let the historian ventilate to the outside world."

Xu Mabang frowned and said, "This book of the Great Commander knows!" ”

Hu Dadao's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Therefore, it is the safest strategy to quickly transport a large number of seizures and leave the Shi family, and it is best to ship and leave overnight, and you must not delay and stop at the Shi family." ”

Xu Ma Gang was a little disappointed, and Hu Dadao had no more secure way.

However, Xu Mabang still nodded and said: "What Lao Hu said is very true, Xu Yannian, you go out and order the sentry brothers to speed up the loading of goods and grain, and prepare to return to the mountain overnight." ”

I saw Xu Yannian, a tall man standing behind Xu Mabang, agree, and turned around and walked towards the hall. Feng Jian knew that Xu Yannian was a confidant of the Xu Ma Gang, and he had seen him when he first saw the Xu Ma Gang, and he had the impression that this person was relatively cold.

Xu Mabang touched his chin and beard and groaned, "This commander always feels unsteady in his heart, if you brothers have any other tricks, tell me about it." ”

Feng Jian thought for a while and hugged his fist at Xu Ma Gang: "Great Commander, the villain has an idea, so it can be transported back to Huluyan more securely." ”

Xu Mabang looked at Feng Jian with deep meaning: "Oh, you kid, why didn't you tell me earlier if you have a good idea!" ”

Feng Jian coughed, touched his chin and said, "Since we are afraid that the seizure will be robbed halfway by other peak bandit forces, why don't we transport the captured back to Huluyan separately!" ”

Xu Mabang became interested when he heard this, and said loudly: "Feng Jian continued, what is the separation method?" ”

The other leaders also pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Feng Jian's explanation.

"The villain's idea is to divide the cottage guards into two roads, one of which is to go back to Huluyan in Sow Ridge Mill Cone Mountain, this road is the old road when it came, this road is close to Huluyan, but it is easy for thieves to ride. The other way to the north bypass Huanglianding back to Huluyan, this road is rugged, and you have to go around a big circle to return to Huluyan, but there are few thieves along the way, and it is safer to take this road to seize materials. ”

Xu Ma Bang urged: "Don't stop, tell all your ideas!" ”

Feng Jian thought for a moment, and then said: "Because it is easy to be robbed by thieves from other peaks all the way to Mocone Mountain in Sow Ridge, this road mainly attracts and confuses thieves, so it is necessary to be guarded by the cottage brigade and must be less expensive, but on the surface, it is necessary to make a posture of escorting a lot of goods all the way back to Huluyan." Because the guards of the cottage brigade are concentrated together, even if they are ambushed by thieves, they can at least retreat calmly, and they will not be heartbroken if they lose some goods. The other way of escort is to escort most of the goods and grain back to Huluyan, and the commander must send a part of the cottage elite to escort the goods and grain to set off overnight, bypassing Huanglianding and returning to Huluyan, so that it is safer to return to Huluyan by different routes. ”

Feng Jian finished his thoughts in one breath, and after speaking, his eyes were fixed on Xu Ma Gang. This is the first time he has contributed to a major action in the cottage, and I don't know if the Xu Ma Gang can adopt it.

Under the gauze lamp, the leaders of Huluyan had different expressions, and Yan Zhanwei, the leader of the second team, glared at Feng Jian with a grim look in his eyes, and then moved his gaze to the Xu Ma Gang, his expression seemed to be a little anxious.

Jiang San'er stared at Feng Jian for a moment, snorted in his mouth, and then looked greedily at the money and food piled up outside the hall.

Hu Dadao looked at Feng Jian with eyes full of joy, and nodded at Feng Jian vigorously.

Xu Mabang closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "Feng Jian said that this is a good strategy, the two roads are one virtual and one real, so that the harm can be dispersed, even if one of them encounters thieves halfway, at least there is a way to escort and transport the captured back to Huluyan." Very good, the commander decided to follow what Feng Jian said, and the soldiers were transported back to Huluyan by two routes. ”

He nodded approvingly to Feng Jian, signaling that he fully accepted Feng Jian's suggestion.

Then his expression changed and he turned his gaze to Hu Dadao: "Don't hesitate, everyone is ready to start acting immediately!" Lao Hu, you are in charge of Wu Whistle, Ji Whistle plus Jiang San'er Geng Whistle three posts of a hundred cottage guards, escort most of the captured detour Huang Lian Ding back to Huluyan, we desperately capture must not be in vain Those who have ill intentions, you have to ensure that you return to Huluyan safely all the way. ”

Xu Ma Gang entrusted such a heavy task to Hu Dadao, the intention was obvious, Huluyan belonged to Hu Dadao in addition to him, and Sun Fang and several family members were skilled in martial arts and took him.

Hu Dadao's expression was obviously excited, and he hurriedly left his seat and knelt on the ground: "The villain will definitely live up to the trust of the commander, and my old Hu will fight for his life to protect this batch of goods and food and return to the cottage." ”

Xu Ma Bang nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Feng Jian again: "Feng Jian is superior in both martial arts and knowledge, and it is a blessing for Huluyan to have you join, this time you will assist Lao Hu to escort the goods and grain back to the mountain." ”

Listening to Xu Ma Gang's earnest words moved Feng Jian, looking at all the leaders present looking at Hu Dadao and himself jealously, and listening to Xu Ma Gang's earnest words, Feng Jian was deeply moved in his heart.

Feng Jian hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The villain also lived up to the trust of the great commander, and cooperated with Leader Hu to smoothly transport the seizure back to Huluyan. ”

Xu Ma Bang nodded with satisfaction, and turned his gaze to Sun Fang for a moment: "Brother Sun Fang and a few brothers who returned to the family followed Leader Hu all the way back to Huluyan, Brother Sun, you take care of it more." ”

Sun Fang, who was sitting on the side, was a little surprised, Xu Ma Gang arranged himself to Hu Dadao's way, indicating that he and his subordinates were not guarded, and he and several family members were skilled in martial arts, and following Hu Dadao all the way was also a guarantee. He hurriedly left his seat and knelt down to accept Xu Ma Gang's orders.

Xu Ma Gang nodded, and then said: "The rest of the seven sentinels followed the commander along the way back to Huluyan, we can go on the road a little later, prepare more wheelbarrows and carts, and make a posture of escorting a large amount of goods and grain to confuse the other party, this time the thirteen war horses captured in Shijia Beiyuan will follow the way of the commander, and the twenty war horses captured outside the dense forest will follow Hu Dadao all the way, so as to pull the cart for transporting goods and grain." ”

Xu Mabang saw that everyone was listening to their own arrangements, and felt very satisfied, and continued to instruct: "Lao Hu, you must step up your supervision and supervision of the cottage guards, and you must prepare most of the money, grain, and livestock before the time of the child......

Soon, Feng Jian and Hu Dadao walked out of the hall together, and Hu Dadao instructed Feng Jian to quickly hand over to the guard post that changed guards, and quickly led his own guard to join him.

Feng Jian nodded in agreement, walked quickly to the Dongzhai Gate, and walked near the Shijia Beiyuan, and was suddenly blocked by a large group of cattle, sheep and livestock in front of him.

Among the herd, there were three cows with yellow and white fur that were particularly eye-catching, and Feng Jian noticed that these three cows were taller than the other cattle, and there were two huge cows hanging from the bottom of the belly.

Feng Jian was just curious about the difference between these two cows at first, and when he saw the two huge cows' milk, his mood suddenly stirred: "Cows, it's actually cows!" ”

The experience of later generations made Feng Jian deeply understand that milk has an immeasurable effect on the improvement of human physique, and that modern Westerners have become tall and strong because of drinking milk, and because of drinking milk, Westerners have avoided many plagues.

Legend has it that the first cows that appeared in China were introduced and crossed by early European missionaries and colonists in Southeast Asia during the Ming Dynasty.

Coming to this era, Feng Jian knew that people in this era did not have the tradition of drinking milk, perhaps because the local cattle with an annual output of hundreds of kilograms of milk were not enough for the cowboys to drink, as the owner of the cow was really shameless to earn milk with the cow, of course, it may also be because the cow is a production tool under the agricultural civilization, and there is enough food to grab milk from the calf to drink.

But the effect of milk on the body is undoubted, Marco. Polo said in his travelogue that Genghis Khan's troops carried dried powdered milk as food when they marched long distances, and the Mongol cavalry was invincible, so it can be said that milk played a great role.

Feng Jian was in a stirring mood, if a cow produces five tons of milk a year, then the two existing two cows of the Shi family can produce more than ten tons of milk a year, what kind of concept is this, that is, there are more than 4,000 people in the entire Huluyan, and more than ten catties of milk can be distributed per capita a year.

The stumbling upon a cow is definitely a lucky thing for the old and young of Huluyan.

Feng Jian knows that male cows do not produce milk, and their main role is to promote the female cows to always be in the lactation period, so that the lactating female cows can continue to produce milk.

There must be a male cow and two female cows in these three cows, and the cost of raising a cow is very high, and an adult cow needs more than 50 catties of roughage and more than 30 catties of concentrate and juicy feed a day.

However, Feng Jian is not worried about the feed problem of dairy cows, the most in the mountains is grass and wild vegetables, which can be used as the staple food of dairy cows, and the rest of the bean skin, bran, sorghum stalks, and wheat straw are not lacking in the village.

Having said that, even if the cost is high, Feng Jian must do everything possible to raise dairy cows. Because the power of milk is too great, the benefits are too many, and the two cows can continue to reproduce, with the expansion of the number of cows, milk can meet the needs of more people and improve the physique of more people.

In the future, it can also be made into a variety of dairy products that can be stored for a long time, whether it is a disaster or a military disaster, as long as there is milk and its dairy products, the farmers of Huluyan can have an additional way to survive; At the same time, in the future, Huluyan guards marched to fight, and these dairy products can also be used as military rations, Feng Jian looked at the information in later generations, and remembered that when the Yuan Dynasty army went on an expedition, the soldiers carried dairy products that could be stored for a long time as military rations.

He excitedly stopped the guards who drove the cows, asked where the cows were, knew that the group of cattle were going to follow him all the way back to Huluyan, and when he knew where the cows were going, he relieved himself and watched the three cows being driven past him, and he really wanted to find a place to laugh a few times.
