Chapter 378: Hai Dongqing and the Dehaired Chicken
readx;
War is brutal and hard, especially on other people's turf. In the territory www.biquge.info of Xianbei, there are vast grasslands everywhere, although it is the middle of winter, there is not much grass, but that vast area makes people feel lonely and desolate. In less than half a month, Liu Zhang has fought more than ten times with foreign armies, and slaughtered more than ten foreign tribes, the largest tribe has nearly 100,000 people! Now, Liu Zhang's corporal is at least one person and three horses, and the cattle and sheep have surged to more than 100,000, and the army is several miles away, which makes Liu Zhang a little worried! If you lose your mobility, and then you encounter the Xianbei army, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die!
"Zitai!" Liu Zhang called Tian Chou and asked, "Do you know where to place these cattle and sheep?" ”
"Champion Hou, now that we are in the territory of Xianbei, the whole Xianbei is our enemy, how can there be a place to place cattle and sheep?" Hearing Liu Zhang's question, Tian Chou smiled bitterly.
At the beginning, Tian Chou heard that Liu Zhang was going to conquer Karasuma, and he happily came to help, but he never thought that Liu Zhang would be so crazy, and he would fight Karasuma, and he would provoke big clans like Xianbei and Xiongnu. Now, except for Liu Zhang, who has not yet gone to the Xiongnu Shan Yuting near the Wolf Juxu Mountain, the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes on both sides of the Krulun River have almost been slaughtered by him!
"That's right!" Liu Zhang touched his chin, he hadn't trimmed it for half a year, the beard under his chin was already half a foot long, if it took a while, he would be able to catch up with Guan Yu. After thinking for a while, Liu Zhang said: "Since it's too much of a hindrance, let's kill it!" Kill everyone, let alone brutes! ”
"This..."Tian Chou said: "This is more than 100,000 animals, it's a pity to kill them!" ”
"So what do you say?" Liu Zhang glanced at Tian Chou and said, "I can't harm my subordinates for a few cattle and sheep." The speed of the foreign cavalry is already above our army, and if we lose our mobility, we can only wait for death when the foreign army arrives. These cattle and sheep will also become the spoils of war for the foreigners! ”
"It's pedantic under it!" Tian Chou has been by Liu Zhang's side for nearly half a year, and he has already adapted to Liu Zhang's brutality and blood. It can be said that he is already a little numb!
"Zi Taiyan is serious!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." Zitai and I are in different positions, and the way we see things is naturally different, and the means of dealing with things are different. Someday, when you sit in my place, you will be able to understand my heart! ”
"Champion Hou Tianzong's talent, how can I..." Tian Chou wanted to be modest, but Liu Zhang's face suddenly changed and stopped him! Tian Chou asked, "Champion Hou, what happened?" ”
"Listen..." As soon as Liu Zhang's words fell, an eagle roared in mid-air. Tian Chou looked up and saw a small dot floating by in the sky!
"It turned out to be an eagle!" Tian Chou smiled: "There are not many things on the grassland, just these things!" ”
"No!" Liu Zhang said: "Zitai has heard that someone from another race can train eagles for communication!" ”
"This..."Tian Chou thought for a while and said: "I have heard of it a little, but I haven't seen it, so it must be a false rumor!" ”
"It's true!" Liu Zhang sneered: "Not only an eagle, but also a bird, which can also be used to transmit messages!" ”
"I've heard of the kind of bird that Champion Hou said!" Tian Chou said: "According to legend, Gaozu and Xiang Yu competed, and when they were defeated and hid in a waste well, they once released a bird to ask for help. However, I have always thought that it is a legend to show that Gao Zu is destined to return! ”
"That being the case, it is better to believe what it is than to believe what it is not!" Liu Zhang called the junior colonel and said: "Pass my order, if you see a bird flying in the air, shoot them all!" ”
Liu Zhang's order soon spread throughout the army, although everyone was very puzzled, but Liu Zhang's good habit of obeying orders in the army made them carry it out without hesitation. Along the way, the birds in the sky are out of luck! Among them, the most died tragically at the hands of Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were very depressed, because their bow skills were not very good!
"Look, lord!" Zhang Fei ran to Liu Zhang with an eagle and said, "This eagle is so big!" ”
"Hai Dongqing?" Looking at the eagle in Zhang Fei's hand, which was about three feet long and grayish in color, Liu Zhang frowned, because this eagle was very similar to Hai Dongqing in his memory, and the nobles of foreign clans liked to raise this kind of eagle the most!
"The lord knows this eagle?" Even Tian Chou only knew that the thing in Zhang Fei's hand was an eagle, but Liu Zhang could call its name, how could everyone not be surprised?
Liu Zhangdao; "The nobles of the foreign race like to raise this kind of eagle the most, you see that its claws are pure white, also called 'jade claws', it is the top grade in Haidong Qing, I suspect that the foreign race is using it to probe our army!"
Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Liao gasped, they had lived in a place where foreigners gathered, and they had heard that birds could communicate and transmit information, but they all thought it was a legend, just like a wild goose passing a book, but they didn't think it was true!
"No wonder the lord let us shoot birds, it turns out that there is such a thing!" Everyone looked at Liu Zhang, and they couldn't help but admire it in their hearts.
"Now that everyone is here and we've found this bird, we have to speed up so we don't get caught up by the foreigners!" Liu Zhang said: "Pass the order, kill half of the cattle and sheep in our hands, remove the bones, and make jerky!" ”
"This..."Ma Chao asked, "Lord, what are you doing to kill so many cattle and sheep?" ”
"Didn't you notice that these cattle and sheep were slowing down our army?" Liu Zhang said: "Execute the order immediately, don't ask why!" ”
"Yes!" Seeing Liu Zhang's faint glance at himself, Ma Chao felt a chill on his body and hurriedly acted according to the order.
What is the concept of slaughtering tens of thousands of cattle and sheep at a time? Anyway, the final beef and mutton obtained were millions of catties. Fortunately, Liu Zhang has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and the number of people allocated is not more than 100 catties, which is only half a month's military ration according to five catties per person per day. However, this is only half of the story, and there are still tens of thousands of animals that need to be driven.
Removing the beef and mutton, Liu Zhang's very vulgar order to pile up the bones with blood and shredded meat into a hill, and at the top of the mountain is the Hai Dongqing, but the hair has been stripped off, and it looks like a chicken that has lost its hair! Most of the cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and the speed of the army's march suddenly increased considerably. I don't know if it's the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, but the remaining cattle and sheep seem to cooperate a lot!
Eighty miles away from Liu Zhang's army, the foreign coalition army stopped, and they lost the trace of the Han army. Su Li hurriedly called a big man to his side, and it turned out that the Hai Dongqing shot by Liu Zhangjun was indeed raised by Xianbei people! Without Haidongqing's lead, the foreign coalition army will become blind! I heard that Hai Dongqing had a problem, and Su Li and Hu Chuquan were also a little helpless, after all, there were more ferocious birds of prey on the grassland than Hai Dongqing. For example, a golden eagle with a length of one meter and an arm span of more than two meters!
"What should I do?" Hai Dongqing is very difficult to train, even Xianbei only has three top-grade ones, since there is something that may threaten Hai Dongqing, it is impossible for Su Li to take the other two out to die!
"Scatter the detectives!" Hu Chuquan said: "Liu Zhang's army has brought so many cattle and sheep, we only need to find the footprints of the cattle and sheep, as well as the dung, we can find their direction." Anyway, in the territory of Xianbei, their army will only decrease, not increase! ”
"Good!" Sully immediately scattered a large number of scouts, and soon found a large amount of livestock manure twenty miles away. According to the degree of dryness of the feces, the Xianbei scouts could easily judge how long Liu Zhang's army had left.
"Shan Yu, what do you think it is?" Following the manure and footprints of the animals, and led by hunting dogs, the foreign army came to the place where Liu Zhang slaughtered the livestock. Standing a mile away, Su Li and Hu Chuquan's personal guards saw a mountain of white bones!
"Shhh
"Huh!" Suddenly, another person was very surprised and said, "Why is there a dehaired chicken on the bones of cattle and sheep?" We in Xianbei seem to have very few chickens! ”
"Chickens?" Everyone raised their eyes, but before they could see clearly, a big man rushed to the foot of the White Bone Mountain, hugged the dehaired chicken and howled, the cry was quite poignant.
"What's going on? Lao Tzu is not dead yet! Seeing so many cattle and sheep being slaughtered, Su Li's heart was already dripping blood, and he couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw his heavy falcon keeper actually holding a bald chicken and crying.
"Shan Yu, this is my Hai Dongqing!" The eagle keeper snorted and cried, just like a dead man. Su Li's face turned blue when he heard this, the value of Hai Dongqing is incalculable, especially the top-grade jade claws, which can be met but not sought!
"Liu Jiyu, I swear not to rest with you!" Su Li roared, jumped on the war horse and said, "Hu Chuquan, I must let Liu Zhang die!" ”
"I'm not the same!" Hu Chuquan smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't think they have gone far yet, let's chase!" ”
Su Li stopped talking, and he commanded the army to find the footprints of the Han army with an iron face. Perhaps chasing too closely, Liu Zhang ordered the slaughter of livestock again, and set up a mountain of white bones, but there was one less dehaired chicken! Looking at another pile of white bone mountains, Hu Chuquan and Su Li's hearts twitched.
Livestock is the lifeblood of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, Liu Zhang slaughtered more than 100,000 heads in this way, he simply wanted the two clans to be wiped out! In order to stop the brutal Liu Zhang, Hu Chuquan and Su Li accelerated the pursuit. can get rid of the burden, and Liu Zhangjun's speed is also accelerating.
On the grassland, the two armies launched a hard pursuit battle, Liu Zhang led 300,000 foreign troops around the grassland, he once said to the generals around him: "To drag these foreigners, the fat ones into thin ones, and the thin ones into death!" ”
Liu Zhang didn't say much, since he began to fight with foreign armies, he no longer killed the Xianbei people on the grassland, he just robbed the cattle, sheep and horses of these tribes, killed the people who resisted, and burned everything that could not be taken away. The unlucky Suli and Huchuquan often meet some tribes that have nothing on the road, and the people of these tribes are often indifferent. Of course, if Liu Zhang is in a good mood, he will leave a fig leaf for the women of the tribe...
