Thirty-six finally came back, and also successfully caught the Xianbei witch who had been fighting with him for nearly a year, saying that it was a complete accident to catch someone, but on the way back, he accidentally met a few people who were about to freeze to death, and after rescuing them, he learned from those people that the current Xianbei witch and her subordinates were located, and when he went over with thousands of people, he saw more than a dozen people who were on the verge of death with hunger and cold, these are the Xianbei witch and more than a dozen of her most loyal followers.

It is said that at this time last year, there were still tens of thousands of followers of Xianbei Witch, who had been constantly suppressed and driven away over the past year, and were defeated and scattered, and now there are only a dozen people left, and they almost froze to death in the wild, which is really emotional.

In fact, they were able to end up where they are now, because the envoy group sent by Li Yunfei successfully bought off various tribesmen in Xianbei and signed a series of purchase cooperation plans, such as purchasing wool, receiving all kinds of furs, and even purchasing various dairy products, and in order to show their sincerity, they also brought a lot of exquisite glass products as gifts.

The evolution of the bottom of the kettle is extremely effective, the Xianbei Witch has changed from a leader admired by everyone to a wanted criminal that everyone shouts and beats, and it is a personal benefit, since it is mixed with the Chinese Empire, well fed and clothed, there are really few people who are willing to follow the Xianbei Witch and the Chinese Empire to the end, otherwise it is not impossible to be exterminated.

In other words, the Xianbei tribes seem to be barbaric at first glance, and from time to time they will think of coming to the Central Plains to rob, but in fact, the most fundamental problem is because they have not eaten in a disaster year, and the Central Plains is in some civil strife, and the defense will only take risks if the defense is loose.

In principle, no matter who it is, it is almost the same, if the people in the Central Plains have no food, they will become very barbaric and crazy, not necessarily much better than the Xianbei tribes, as long as the problem of food and clothing is solved, everything can be solved. As long as the people can be fed, clothed and warm, there are really few people who are willing to risk death to share to rob, of course, a very small number of people are not excluded, but those people will never become the climate, and any security team can destroy those scum.

Trading with the Xianbei tribes, of course, is to implement a long-term peace and stability plan, with strong force as a deterrent, coupled with the invasion of culture, plus those people who have followed the Chinese Empire to live better day by day, it will not take twenty or thirty years, and after the next generation grows up, they can completely assimilate the Xianbei tribes, and completely incorporate the grassland and desert in the north that is up to more than 10 million ordinary kilometers into the territory without bloodshed.

Cultural invasion and assimilation of the surrounding small countries, in fact, began as early as the Qin Dynasty, of course, it was not intentional, but the surrounding countries worshiped the powerful countries, so they sent envoys to learn Chinese culture, leaving a very solid foundation for the current China to assimilate the surrounding countries.

For example, the countries of the Western Regions have been operating for more than 100 years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the current situation is that when they saw the Chinese army in the past, they all regarded it as their own people, and now it is more appropriate to say that the countries of the Western Regions are countries, rather than small autonomous regions, and those small countries have made laws and military defense rights have been handed over to the Chinese Empire, and Chinese characters have also become the official language, and the currency has also been unified, so those countries are really not a country in the real sense.

……

It's very strange that after the Xianbei witch was caught, she didn't resist too much, at most she cursed a few words, eating and drinking, but she was soon alive again.

"Shrine maiden, you don't have to resent me, we are your saviors, if I hadn't arrived with someone, you and your men would have become popsicles." Seeing that the witch in the cage was looking at him with a very resentful gaze, Thirty-Six finally spoke.

"You ...... Abominable intruder...... Come to a sticky end. "The Xianbei witch can also understand Chinese, but she doesn't speak it well, and she scolds people quite awkwardly.

"Are we intruders, you don't inquire, we are here to trade and develop and build with the people of the Xianbei tribes, and now you are the street rats that everyone in the Xianbei tribes shouts and beats......"

"Damned invaders, your plot will not succeed." The witch retorted

"Wrong, wrong, this is a dignified and upright plan, how good it is for everyone to live a warm life with enough food and clothing, how can you be like you idiots, make a mess of a good territory, such a large territory can't even feed millions of people, are you also worthy of leading the Xianbei departments, I think you must have been a pig in your last life!" Thirty-six mocked, he just wanted to be angry with this witch, this year this woman led the camp in the middle of the night many times, although it did not cause too many casualties, but the mood is still very unhappy, if it wasn't for His Majesty's explanation, catch it alive as much as possible, and cut it off with a knife to avenge those brothers who died in battle.

“…… You asshole...... You are shameless......" The witch didn't know how to refute, she could only curse.

"Looks like you've been eating too much lately and have a lot of energy, maybe you can skip dinner." Thirty-six said very calmly, and immediately shut up the witch.

Although this witch's personality is very strong, and she can even put life and death out of the way, but I don't know why, after being caught, the most unbearable thing is hunger. After being caught, although he was ridiculed and ridiculed in every way, he never thought of resisting with hunger strike......

"Do you know, as long as the Xianbei tribes are integrated into the Chinese Empire, ordinary people will really have food and meat to eat every day in the future, and don't worry about whether they will freeze to death in winter...... Do you know that it is because of your troublemaking that this process has slowed down for more than a year, and the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people who died of hunger and cold last winter were actually caused by you. ”

“…… Dead liars! Of course, the witch couldn't say what Thirty-Six said, but she only cursed in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, lest she really annoy this shameless general and really starve to death.

……

Not to mention the two of them who raised each other along the way, and said that since Li Yunfei refined Mithril, it heralded the advent of a new era, and it was said that Mithril refining was very troublesome for a few days, and it consumed a lot of willpower, and the time was also very long, but with Mithril, you can build a larger magic circle and make some quite practical magic weapons.

Now what is built is a phoenix, with aluminum alloy as the basic material, and then set up several practical formations, and then wrapped in gold, a golden phoenix is also manufactured. Of course, this product is actually really impractical, it is not as easy to use as a flying sword, and it is a waste of time and materials, but seeing Lu Lingqi's face flushed with excitement, it seems that everything is worth it.

The volume of the golden phoenix is not large, the total length of the head and tail is only a little more than two meters, the wingspan is three meters, the wings can be expanded and retracted, the total weight is forty kilograms, as for the load, in fact, in principle, as long as it is within the three meters of the shielding gravity, no matter how many are not a problem, of course, the shielding is only gravity, not the shielding of the mass, so when the weight is loaded to accelerate and decelerate and decelerate, the effect will also be reduced, the preliminary calculation of 100 kilograms of weight when the acceleration and deceleration is ten meters per second, the acceleration is equivalent to a good sports car.

The shielded gravity formation is from the cottage of the warframe, of course, it only simulates the shielded gravity field, although it is more efficient than the previous repulsion field, but it still can't be self-contained, so it still needs to consume energy after activation.

Considering the safety issue, Li Yunfei also deliberately added a defensive force field array to the golden phoenix, which in principle can block the close-range shooting of the bed crossbow, and can also block the oncoming strong wind in peacetime......
