Chapter 361: On the Road
José smiled slightly, touched Xiao Maoton's head and said, "Although I don't know the traditions of your steppe people, if you are really just his nephew, it is unlikely that he will be so crazy to spare his life to save you." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I'm afraid this is not an ordinary kinship, but a deeper relationship. I could tell that Alam was a loyal and brave warrior, so judging by your demeanor and his reaction, I deduced that your identity might be unusual. Later, I heard about the turmoil between some tribes from the grassland, as well as the fact that the Loufu tribe rewarded the young son of the leader of the Duoyan tribe who was living in the grassland, so I can be more sure of your identity as a kid. ”
Although Jose was just talking, Xiao Maodun's face had already shown a lot of beads of sweat, and his face became very pale: "Teacher, I didn't mean to hide it from you! I really didn't mean to hide it from you!"
Xiao Maodun's face showed a somewhat painful look, and his tone was also mixed with a hint of crying: "But I promised my father Khan, until I have the ability to avenge him, I will never reveal my identity to anyone, I promised my father Khan, before he died, ......"
Jose sighed, looking at the resolute gaze in front of him, but the look on his face was obviously a little nervous and guilty, and finally he still didn't blame the child. He pondered for a moment, glanced at Xiao Mao Dun again, and said lightly, "You want revenge, don't you?"
Xiao Mao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes.
Jose shook his head, couldn't help but sigh for a moment, and then slowly looked at Xiao Maoton and said, "I can forgive you for hiding it from the teacher, but I don't want you to have so much hatred at such a young age." Do you understand?"
Xiao Maoton's brows furrowed, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Jose's calm look, he fell silent.
"Little one, you are now learning martial arts with Gould, and you must know the effect of your mood on you. You've just laid the foundation, and some hatred in your heart is used as motivation, which is naturally good for honing your mind, but if you keep taking this hatred too seriously, and prematurely develop anger and hatred, it's not a good thing after all, you know?"
Xiao Maodun heard Jose say this, and there was some hesitation in his eyes, but he took a deep breath, then lowered his head and thought for a moment, before he nodded as if he didn't understand, but the anger and anger in his eyes were a little less.
"That's right, the teacher promised you that one day he would let you return to your hometown, to your grassland, and let you get back everything you had lost. But before that, you have to have enough strength and capital, and it is useless to have empty blood and hatred. ”
Jose seemed to be talking to himself, and then shook his head as if laughing at himself: "Why am I telling you this, let's go, Xiao Maodun, you see how desolate this northwest desert is, but beyond this desolation, there is a great empire of rivers and mountains......"
A convoy of dozens of people, except for more than 20 cavalry, the rest were infantry pawns, and the speed of the march was naturally not very fast. And José also happened to take advantage of this opportunity, sometimes riding in a car and sometimes riding with the cavalry, but he surveyed the mountains and rivers along the way from José to Moduocheng.
Since the war in the northwest, Jose has been particularly attentive to Moxi, and after being sealed to Sadland, he has done a lot of knowledge about several counties outside this river valley. Moxixing Province is divided into six counties, and there are more than 50 large and small towns and fortresses under the county seats, and under the towns are hundreds of villages and millions of people.
Most of the county towns in Moxi Province were outside the Moxi Pass, which was built according to the remaining veins of the Aihang Mountains, and became a fortress connecting the valley corridor and the northwest of the empire. In the river valley corridor outside Moxi Pass, there are a total of four counties, namely Modo County, Nidro County, Sal County and Sadrand County, among which the Sadrand County is the most remote and vast, but because of the war, it is also the most turbulent county, and the geographical environment is far less convenient than other county towns near Moxi Pass.
Along the way, Qiao Se also quietly calculated in his heart, where the terrain is suitable for cavalry to charge, which hill has a steep terrain that can be temporarily guarded, and where the mountains and forests are quite dense, I am afraid that it is not easy to be found by hiding tens of thousands of soldiers, but it is a good place for ambushes......
Thoughts like these kept going all the way, and José felt that the pressure on him was enormous, most of the villages in the county were in the valley basin south of the county, while the military town of Moduocheng, the military stronghold of the Northwest Army, was relatively close to the direction of the steppe people to the north. In other words, if the Northwest Army suddenly attacked itself, the cavalry and horses would probably be able to attack the city of Sadland within a day.
However, this also has the advantage that the fighting will be less devastating to the villages south of the county, because the county town of Sadland will bear the brunt and can avoid the destruction of the villages in the county.
Thinking of this, Jose couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly: If the Northwest Army really wants to fight Sadland, I am afraid that what he should worry about the most is himself and the county town of Sadland. The people in those river valley basins are blocked behind the county town of Sadland, but they have to face the main forces of the Northwest Army!
After all, although there is no contradiction between the empire and the Northwest Army on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Northwest Army will cause turmoil sooner or later. The reason is very simple, the Northwest Army seems to want to secede the Guanwai, but the empire may not allow these guys to stand on their own. It's just that both sides have concerns now, and neither of them is willing to do it first, one is to wait for the opportunity to let themselves develop and grow, and the other is to have their hearts elsewhere and have no time to take out their hands to govern for the time being.
The relationship between the Empire and the Northwest Army is delicate and stable for the time being, at least only when one side decides to tear its face, and there will be war and conflict between the two. But before that, I'm afraid no one wants to break this balance rashly, and it is precisely because of this that Joseph dared to visit Ronkedo of the Northwest Army, one is to test the attitude of these guys, and the other is to explore the reality of the Northwest Army.
At least along the way, José had memorized the terrain and the villages and towns he had passed through, which he would use one day, he was sure of that. But thinking about it this way, José couldn't help but think of that Sophia, a girl who claimed to have traveled in the Northwest for two years, but she was very capable.
However, this also made Jose even more surprised by the details of the Kant master, and it was probably far more complicated than he imagined to be able to teach a teacher like Sophia......
