10. Imperial Recruits
"By the way, have you decided which way to go?"
Seeing that Hui recovered, Zhang Qi hurriedly changed the topic and asked.
Seeing that there was something going on, the eagle harrier stopped frolicking, put on the bow on his back, and came to Zhang Qi's side quietly.
Bo rubbed the bowstring and made a hollow sound.
"I discussed with Hui for a day and decided to set out east along the Kinabalu mountain range, where Zuo Tuqi (tu2qi2) was located.
And from the news we overheard from the Xiongnu nobles, there are still occasional conflicts with Donghu over there, and I think it may be easier to go over there and enter the territory of Donghu and then transfer to the Han Dynasty. ”
Zhang Qi nodded, thought about it, combined with the historical knowledge in his head, Zhang Qi roughly calculated that this era may be the heyday of the Xiongnu, but even so, the population of the Xiongnu will not exceed three million (increase).
Combined with their conquests and captures in the East and West, counting these tribes and slaves of various nationalities who were forced to submit, the power of the Huns would not exceed four million (increased).
This is the disadvantage of nomadism, the storage of various dairy products is a big trouble, once encountering natural disasters and diseases that cause cattle and sheep to die in batches, their disaster resistance is completely incomparable with agricultural civilization, so the population has not been able to develop.
But because of this, the Huns' combat effectiveness in survival and plundering is amazing, and the whole clan is a soldier on the horse, and a herdsman when he gets off the horse.
And the price at which they start a war is small and pitiful, and the mobilization has already been completed on the horse, which is their advantage.
Unlike the current Han Dynasty, whenever they want to start a foreign war, they have countless steps to complete.
The Huns worshipped the sunrise, so they respected the direction of the sunrise, plus they took the direction of the Han Dynasty as the front, so Zuo Tuqi was the first person under the Xiongnu Shan Yu, generally held by his sister-in-law or heir, the status was equivalent to the prince of the East Palace, and he was also respected by the Huns as King Zuoxian.
In addition to the left Tu Qi, there are also the right Tu Qi, the left and right Gu Li (li2) king, the left and right generals, the left and right captains, the left and right big households, etc., a total of 24 positions, known as 240,000 horsemen, is the Xiongnu Shan Yu's descendant force.
In the past, during the period of Emperor Wen, the Xiongnu Koubian was known as the 300,000 people who controlled the strings, and this is how they came.
The system of the Xiongnu is not much different from the structure of the court of the Han Dynasty, there is no way, and the system that the vast grassland can learn from them is only the Qin and Han dynasties, so the structure of these two powerful countries in the world is extremely similar.
The four million people sprinkled on the curtain were tantamount to a drop in the ocean, and it was not difficult for the five of them to escape as long as they were cautious, and the reason why they were so worried before was one of the food and the other was the direction.
And now from this side of Mount Kinabalu, the question of direction no longer exists, and it must be right to go to the place where the sun rises, and the food ....
Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi smiled and naturally understood what they meant, so he said easily: "Direction, food is not a problem, and if you have the opportunity, you may be able to get horses." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, especially the eagle harrier, unlike Zhang Qi, they stayed in the clan all the year round, and the two of them followed the Hun nobles to go out, so they were not bad at riding.
"Really? Open! That's great! ”
The eagle shouted excitedly, and if there were horses, he would be more confident in keeping everyone safe.
Zhang Qi looked at him with a smile on his face, today he found a way to prostitute wood, as long as everything goes well, it is really not difficult to bring out the horses in the riding and chopping world.
As for how the horses that ride and chop the world will change after they are given real attributes in the real world, he is not worried, and he is also a horse.
"Of course, can I lie to you?"
"That's good, that's good!"
This time, even Bo chattered, he didn't talk much on weekdays, but he was the calmest one among the few people, and he treated everyone as gently as his brother, doing the most things, and worrying the most.
Zhang Qi got up, everything that should be discussed had already been discussed, he couldn't waste time, every time he stayed in the outside world for a while, it was equivalent to twenty-four times less time in the world of riding and chopping.
"Okay, it's time for me to go, I'll come out at noon tomorrow, you guys get ready in advance, as soon as I come out, everyone will go!"
"No problem!"
The eyes of the eagle and the others were scorching, and even the wind and snow that were whistling outside the cave at this moment could not extinguish the burning flame of hope in their hearts.
Zhang Qi hugged them one by one, and then disappeared in an instant.
"Tomorrow, we will be free!"
In the cave, the teenagers laughed.
----
Back in the world of riding and chopping, the warmth is coming as scheduled.
There are still 431 dinars, and there is no iron ore left in Nortai.
Racing against time, even if Zhang Qidang decided to leave here and go to the next town, he didn't rush to leave, but waited at the city gate, sharpening knives and chopping wood, and having free bodyguards, no need to use in vain!
He didn't have to wait long, and it didn't take long for a neat army of lords to come out from the direction of the castle.
Zhang Qi didn't know who the lord in the lead was, and his memory was not good enough to memorize the names of all the lords in the game.
Looking at the leading lord and the dozen or so elite cavalry under his command and the half-hundred-and-half-hundred-and-half-hundred-lunge mixture, Zhang Qi once again showed an envious gaze.
"Dressed up pretty boy, the strongest heavy cavalry in the game, although he died a little faster, but I really want it!"
With a stupid face, Zhang Qi followed all the way, and when the lord's troops entered the village, he also entered the village to see if he could recruit NPC soldiers before the lord.
Not to mention, following this lord to rush into three villages in a row, he was really recruited by him.
[Imperial Recruits. 】
Looking at this stunned imperial recruit who followed him like a second fool, Zhang Qi couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Although he is called "Imperial Recruit", he carries a straw fork on his back, and his clothes are not tattered, but they are not much better.
Although Zhang Qi has experience in the game, he can't help but wonder if this guy can really fight?
But fortunately, the NPC soldier is dull but can complete the instructions he says well, and even if the instructions are complicated, he has a unique way of understanding.
For example, Zhang Qi asked him to cut down a tree, although he didn't know what it meant to cut a tree, it didn't prevent him from understanding the cut as an attack, holding a pitchfork and stabbing at a tree.
And Zhang Qi also found that the performance of these NPC soldiers was exactly the same as in the game.
When Zhang Qi was in a hurry, he asked him to follow, and he could follow Zhang Qi and the lord's troops wildly, and he didn't see any breath after running for thirty miles in a row.
A system soldier is a system soldier, and no other place can be considered a human except for looking like a human.
Following the lord's troops through two more villages, one of which happened to be a village with iron ore, Zhang Qi looked at his wallet, there were not many dinars, 48 dinars of iron ore could only buy eight pieces, although it was small, but it was able to start the plan to make money again.
Looking at the remaining fifty or so pieces of iron ore in the village, Zhang Qi wrote down this place on a homemade cloth map.
The cloth map is not perfect, only those places that Zhang Qi has walked through, but one day, this cloth map will be as complete as the map in the game again!
