"The freshly cut wood is too heavy! So there are these good ones that have long been dry? "Li You is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, since these Qiang people are the first to attack him, then these are the punishments they deserve! It's good that we didn't kill them all! But now that they have killed all the sheep of their tribe, they will inevitably take some horses away when the time comes! If their tents are dismantled again, they probably won't have a better winter, right?

It seems that the Han people have left the Hexi Corridor for a little too long! It's been so long that this tribe with only a hundred young and strong people dares to take the initiative to attack them, and this time it will be a lesson for them! Leave some old, weak, sick and disabled, and let them tell the nearby tribes about the courage and skill of the Han people! Let them know the horror of the Han people!

Chen Qingzhi has been fighting in the enemy's territory for a long time, and he is naturally not a pedantic person, and Pan Feng is used to fighting, let alone object! Tangyi's father knew that the Huns were more cruel to the enemy, and those evil young men in Chang'an who followed Li You didn't learn how to write the word forgiveness! Naturally, they came to dissuade them, so the fate of these Qiang people was decided!

No one stood up against it, not even those Qiang people dared not complain, in their concept it is natural for the strong to dominate the weak! If the Han people defeat them, not only will they not kill them, but they will also give them all kinds of benefits, they will either think that the Han people are brainbroken, or they will think that the Han people are weak and can be bullied! Li You didn't slaughter their entire clan on the spot, which already made them feel lucky! How dare you care about the loss of these cattle, sheep and tents.

slaughtered three sheep in a row, and didn't care about the distress, the old Qiang man began to attack the fourth sheep again! After the exploration of the first three sheep, he has understood the technical essentials of peeling!

He carefully entered the neck of the sheep, and little by little pulled out the bones, mutton, and internal organs from the sheep's breast! Eventually, a full sheepskin was peeled off.

"Nobleman, do you think this is okay?" He knelt on the ground, holding the sheepskin in both hands, walked to Li You on his knees, lifted it high, and asked with trepidation, this little sheepskin will decide the life and death of him and his family!

"Get some rope and a strip of cowhide! Tie your limbs and neck tightly, leaving a hole for air to blow inside! If this sheepskin can be puffed up, you and your family's lives will be saved! Li You waved his hand and said.

Immediately someone brought a rope and a strip of cowhide to tie the limbs and neck of the sheepskin, and the old Qiang man blew it on the mouth despite the blood, and in a short time his face turned red! Despite this, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and desperately blew into it! For fear that he would be dissatisfied with his work, he would be cut off by Li You.

"It's puffing up!" Pan Feng on the side opened his mouth wide and looked at the sheepskin that was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't understand what the lord was doing with this thing.

"Look, nobleman!" The sheepskin was blowing, and the old Qiang people didn't dare to rest, so they tightened their mouths and handed the skin to Li You.

I wonder if the newly peeled sheepskin can be used directly? Or do you have to go through the drying process? Li You also doesn't know the specific details of the production of the sheepskin raft! But he only plans to treat these as disposable items, and he can throw them away when he crosses the Yellow River! I can't care about so much at the moment! "Well, single out your family! Their lives were saved! ”

"Thank you! Thank you! The old Qiang people kowtowed again and again, and picked out their families from the group of captives.

"Teach others how to skin you, and teach you and your family to drink and meat!" He alone was not enough, Li You continued to order.

With the help of this old Qiang man, soon other Qiang people and the evil young men of Chang'an who had been butchers also learned the art of peeling off the sheepskin completely, and there were fewer and fewer sheep in the sheepfold, and more and more sheepskin bags were piled up around!

Li You divided the manpower into two groups, one group went to rest first, and the other group continued to supervise these Qiang people to kill sheep and skin them! Four hours later, there will be a shift change! By the next morning, the small tribe's sheep had been slaughtered! The mutton is piled up, and the sheepskin skin is stacked high.

"The women and children went to rub the ropes, and the men went to dismantle the tents, and took out the sticks and put them together!" Rest for the night and these tents are useless! It's also time to start making sheepskin rafts!

Those Qiang people did not dare to object, and began to dismantle these tents where they had lived for many years under the threat of knives and guns! Straight and dry sticks were removed.

The skillful Han Chinese in the mission were all gathered together by Li You, and according to his orders, these sticks were tied into wooden rafts with ropes, and then sheepskin leather bags were tied under the wooden rafts! Sixty sheepskin pouches make a sheepskin raft! By noon, after eating fresh roast lamb, the first raft was finally ready!

"Lord, I'll take a few good ones to try first!" Chen Qingzhi took the initiative to ask for his life, he encountered a flash flood during the crusade against Erzhurong, and the army that was crossing the river was swallowed up by the flood, and he himself was only spared, which shows the good nature of the water.

Therefore, Li You was more at ease with him, and selected five or six soldiers with good water quality, threw a large pile of ropes onto the sheepskin raft, tied one end of the rope to the big rock by the river, and watched them hold up the penny and carefully drive the first sheepskin raft in the history of China to the opposite side of the Yellow River.

"My lord! It's totally sustainable! Arriving in the middle of the river, Chen Qingzhi shouted loudly, until this time the sheepskin raft still did not appear unusual, and there were three or five such rafts, which could completely carry all the soldiers and horses across the river.

"Good!" Li You high-fived and praised, and then immediately ordered the Qiang people and soldiers to speed up the production of the new sheepskin raft! He's going to cross the river today! If you can cross the river a day earlier, you can ask for the pursuit of the Bank of China one day earlier.

Chen Qingzhi led six soldiers to the opposite side, took the rope from the sheepskin raft, straightened it, and tied it tightly on another stone on the other side of the river, and now when they returned, they could rely on pulling this rope to drive the sheepskin raft forward, which was much faster and more convenient than using a penny! Because bracing is a technical job, it is not easy to find a few people from the mission who can do this craft.

Chen Qingzhi and his soldiers kept going back and forth on the Yellow River, transporting ropes and some baggage to the other side of the river; The rest of the people were busy tearing down tents, rubbing ropes, and building new sheepskin rafts!

By sunset, the remaining five sheepskin rafts had been made, and there were more than a dozen long ropes on the Yellow River! All the preparations are done, and now they can start crossing the river!

But there is still a problem that needs to be solved before crossing the river, that is, what to do with these more than 100 Qiang people! Li You didn't want to cross the river, and halfway through the crossing, these Qiang people began to attack the men they left here!
