After Zhao Jun left Shangdang, it didn't take long for him to enter the Taihang Mountains, the mountain road was rugged and dangerous, with rolling mountains on both sides, ancient trees covering the sky and the sun, and vigorous and powerful roots clinging to the rock wall.

From time to time, you can meet pedestrians in twos and threes, or merchants pulling goods, who have received the news of the herald in advance, and have found a spacious open space to stand and wait for the army to pass.

This is the second time Zhao Kuo has walked to Fukou, and it is also the first time to carefully observe Fukou, the last time he passed by Fukou, he still participated in the Battle of Changping, and his life was almost unsaved, how could he have the leisure to see the scenery.

Some places in Fukou have been widened a lot, or mountains have been opened, or bridges have been built, and the cement pavement is wide and flat, which is obviously a newly built road.

However, the road does not completely follow the Fukou Valley, but some places coincide, and if you follow the Fukou Valley, some places are too narrow, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, and it is difficult to widen.

Elsewhere it is even more steep, making it difficult to build roads.

In the end, after discussion between Wei Qi, Chen Heng, and Mo Feng, it was decided that the new road would generally follow the path of Fukou, but not completely follow the path of Fukou.

Towards evening, the roar of beasts was heard in the mountains, blowing far and wide in the breeze.

"Are there many beasts in the mountains? The widow heard Feng Ting say that there were often people who disappeared when they entered the mountains to hunt, or that tigers came down the mountains to attack people. The eldest son even had a family broken into by a wild boar and killed an old man and a child." Zhao Kuo asked suddenly.

"A lot." The most experienced Yan Xiong said, "In the past, everyone lived inside the city, because it was very dangerous to live outside the city, not only to face the threat of enemies, but also to be infested by wild beasts. At that time, everyone called those who lived outside the city wild men."

"Due to the existence of the aura of heaven and earth, the strength of the beasts has greatly increased, which seriously threatens everyone's survival, and later the people who live outside the city began to join the group to keep warm, move together, and build a plate outside the village to defend against foreign enemies and beasts. Sometimes, the state will regularly arrange personnel to clean up wild beasts, or reward warriors who hit wild beasts such as tigers and bears."

"But fortunately, when the strength of the beast reaches the transcendent realm, it will give birth to a certain amount of intelligence, and it will generally not take the initiative to hurt people, and will stay away from the crowd and live in the mountains. Otherwise, the pressure on countries will be much greater. In general, people are afraid of these beasts, and these beasts are even more afraid of people. But even so, there are still a lot of beasts hurting people every year."

"What do you think?" Zhao Kuo looked at everyone.

"Is the king planning to encircle and suppress the beast?" Xunzi asked.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuo nodded.

Xunzi looked at the high-spirited soldiers behind him and shook his head, "King, although my Zhao army is elite, but let them go to the mountains to fight the beasts, I'm afraid they are still a little powerless."

Do you really think that the countries have not thought of encircling and suppressing wild beasts with their armies? The combat effectiveness of the army is strong, but when thrown into the mountains, those ordinary soldiers may not necessarily kill who when they encounter wild beasts.

Especially in a large mountain range like Taihang Mountain, I don't know how many fierce beasts are hidden in it, even if an army of 100,200,000 is thrown into it, it will not make much splash. ….

Moreover, there are not many beasts of prey in the elite areas of various countries, and the ones that often haunt the borders or mountains and forests are sparsely populated and the output is low, and no monarch will do such a thing that outweighs the losses.

"What does Xunzi mean, or is it the same as before?" Zhao Kuo frowned and said.

"Since ancient times, people have been fighting wild beasts, and in the process of fighting, they have domesticated wild beasts such as cows, sheep, horses, dogs, pigs, etc., and at the same time, countless people have died at the hands of wild beasts. At that time, there was no Reiki yet. Reiki only intensifies this struggle."

"This struggle is, to put it bluntly, a struggle for territory, between nations and nations, between men and beasts. Unless all the beasts are killed, there is no way to avoid this. But we can't do it, and we can't do it."

"Although the minister has not studied it in depth, he feels that man and beasts are part of heaven and earth, and they are indispensable, and if all the beasts perish, we humans are likely to suffer greatly

crisis."

"But now that wild beasts are rampant and injuries are happening, it is not appropriate for the government to be indifferent. The minister believed that the king could select strong warriors in the army and encircle and suppress them in areas where fierce beasts appeared more frequently. At the same time, the people are encouraged to hunt wild beasts, and the warriors who hunt large beasts such as tigers and bears, or wild beasts with internal energy, are rewarded."

"In this way, after a few years, the size of the beast can be kept under control."

"My lord, I am willing to go." Flame Bear immediately shouted, "And I'm so experienced, if I go into the mountains, I don't need a quarter of an hour, and I'll be able to find out where there are beasts nearby."

He didn't brag about this, every evening as soon as the army set up camp, Yan Xiong took Meng Wu and others into the mountains, and in less than half an hour, he came back with a few prey. The worst ones are all from the Gangyuan Realm, and sometimes they can catch fierce beasts from the Transcendent Realm.

And then after a while, Le Yi, Lian Po, Xunzi and others came over with chopsticks, and they didn't need to be invited, they consciously sat next to the pot and waited for the meat to be cooked.

They have no psychological pressure on rubbing rice, what do courtiers do with the monarch? Isn't it just a mixed meal? Otherwise, what are you going to do?

Later, everyone found out that Zhao Kuo didn't mind, so they also ran over to eat, and the number of people increased.

Zhao Kuo didn't say anything, Yan Xiong was not happy, no matter how much he could hunt, he couldn't satisfy so many people, besides, these people were all big-bellied men, the kind who ate with buckets.

Later, all these people were driven to hunt, and then they gave up.

Zhao Kuo hadn't thought about the method Xunzi said before, but this method was too slow to work, and there was no way to completely eliminate the beast attack on the village.

However, after hearing what Xunzi said, Zhao Kuo found that what he had thought before was a little too ideal, this is not the afterlife, it is impossible to completely put an end to beasts killing people and hurting people, especially after having aura, the difficulty has increased a hundred times.

"What Xunzi said is that beasts can't be killed, and it can't be killed. But the threat of the beast must be kept under control." Zhao Kuo said.

With such a large mortality rate in these years, it is not easy to raise a person to adulthood. The population of Zhao is small, and everyone is incomparably precious.

"King, how do we begin?" Yan Xiong said eagerly.

"I'll talk about it when I get back to Handan." Zhao Kuo glared at Yan Xiong, it was impossible to select soldiers on the road, besides, everyone had been on the expedition for so long, and they also wanted them to take the reward, go home happily to report their safety, and then arrange the hunting of beasts after they came back.
