235 Integration
Two days later, Zhao Hao and his party of four finally set off.
They rode four strange beasts, and within a few minutes they arrived at the Haotian River.
At this time, the bridge over the Haotian River was no longer as busy as it was when the Nether Valley was built, and there were no horse-drawn carriages on the bridge. There were only a few people from the Nether Valley or the Garuda Camp riding horses slowly on it.
step.
The reason why these people were walking on the bridge was not to enjoy the scenery on the river. This was a rule set by Zhao Hao. In order to prevent the bridge from being damaged, no one was allowed to ride horses on the bridge.
After all, this bridge is a purely wooden structure. If a horse weighing hundreds of pounds carries a person weighing more than a hundred pounds running around on it, it will probably not take long for the bridge to collapse due to the earthquake.
A group of four people followed the rules and rode their horses slowly across the bridge. Then they started galloping straight towards the Garuda camp.
It was both the first time for Ji Rushuang and Ji Wei to leave the Southern Barbarian mountains and enter the wild jungle. The towering giant trees and dense jungles that can be seen everywhere here are a bit novel to them.
Ji Rushuang was better, after all, she had a relatively calm personality, but Ji Wei's face was red with excitement, and she just wanted to run into the dense forest and have fun.
The speed of the alien beasts is not comparable to that of ordinary horses. Even though the four alien beasts are carrying people and hundreds of kilograms of meat on their backs, they still walk as fast as flying and as fast as thunder.
In less than two hours, the exit of the wild jungle was already in sight, dense stables and cattle pens gradually appeared on both sides of the road, and the number of tribesmen in the Garuda Camp gradually increased.
This is already the place where the Garuda camp spends the winter.
It stands to reason that once spring begins, the generals of each battalion will lead their tribesmen to graze northward, gradually entering into the grassland, feeding the livestock and at the same time looking for the herds of bison, wild sheep and wild horses scattered deep in the grassland.
However, at this moment, the generals of each battalion did not do so, because this year they had to subdue all the stubborn tribes and integrate all the forces in the southern part of the grassland, so they left most of their elites in the grassland and wilderness.
A winter place at the junction of the jungle.
This is the reason why there are more and more people in the Garuda Camp. If it had been any other year, I'm afraid we would have seen several teams of elite cavalry staying here.
The group of people came out of the wild jungle, and in front of them was the endless prairie.
At this time, Beishan's mother set up the tent not far from the exit, so the four of them quickly saw the huge tent.
Ji Wei had seen this tent before, but this was his first time seeing a tent as huge as Shuai Zhang.
When he saw the handsome tent, Ji Wei was stunned. When he saw the cattle, sheep and horses all around the handsome tent, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You actually have so many cattle, sheep and horses!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Our Haotian tribe has more than just cattle, sheep and horses. These are just from the Garuda Camp."
Is this a lot of cattle, sheep and horses?
There seemed to be many cattle, sheep and horses around the handsome tent, but in fact they were only more than ten thousand, which was nothing at all.
You know, when Zhao Hao led his elite troops into the Southern Barbarian mountains, the Haotian tribe already had 200,000 to 300,000 cattle, sheep, and horses. Now, the total number of cattle, sheep, and horses in the Eighth Battalion is probably 400,000 to 500,000.
Heads, these more than 10,000 heads are really nothing.
They had just rode horses and arrived near the commander's tent, and Beishan's mother was already rushing up to meet them.
When she saw the camp, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Big leader, Miss Rushuang, Ahua, why are you here?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "I have something to do at Tianshen Camp. I passed by your Garuda Camp and came here to take a look."
After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, wrapped the reins around the white dragon's back, patted the white dragon's back, and motioned it to go around by itself. Then he took Ji Rushuang and the others, followed Beishan's mother, and headed towards
Shuai Zhang walked away.
Everyone entered the commander's tent. Beishan's mother showed courtesy and insisted on letting Zhao Hao sit on the throne. After making some arrangements, she asked Ji Rushuang, brother and sister, and Ahua to sit down. Then she said curiously: "Why is the chief going to Tianshen camp this time?"
Is it because of the attack on Xue Man’s tribe?”
Zhao Hao said without hesitation: "Yes, I went to see the leader of the Nanjiang tribe. How are you? How are you prepared? How are you subduing those stubborn tribes?"
After hearing this, Beishan's mother said quite confidently: "I have led my people to conquer the largest tribe. I have asked my captain to conquer the other tribes. It is estimated that it will take less than half a year to conquer them all."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said: "Well, after the conquest, organize the young men of each tribe as soon as possible and practice them carefully. In the spring of next year, we will be ready to go to war. By then, each battalion will have to pull out at least five to six hundred elites."
Five to six hundred is actually a bit much. You must know that at this moment, the elite cavalry under the general of the Eighth Battalion is only about five hundred.
After hearing this, Beishan's mother frowned and thought for a while, and then carefully suggested: "Big Chief, can we select some elites among those prisoners? After all, they are already strong enough to go into battle to kill the enemy."
captive?
Zhao Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
He really forgot about these prisoners. These were not all captured from the battlefield.
He thought for a while and then said: "How loyal are these prisoners? This time, we are attacking their lair."
Beishan's mother estimated: "It is impossible to say that there are no problems for all of them. However, most people should have no problems. After all, they have been in our Haotian Department for almost a year. We treat them
Not bad."
Zhao Hao thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said: "We are not in a hurry for now, let's wait until I go to see the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe."
Upon hearing this, Beishan's mother nodded slightly, and then asked: "By the way, Chief, are you going to rest here for a day or are you going to set off later?"
Logically speaking, if you are traveling in a hurry, you cannot take a day off every time you arrive. After all, it is not even noon yet. If you work hard, you can cover seven or eight hundred miles in the remaining time.
However, Zhao Hao was not in a hurry because he still had a lot of time. It was still more than half a month before his appointment with Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang tribe.
Besides, they didn't bring tents or clay pots with them this time, so it would be quite troublesome to spend the night on the road.
The closest Asura Camp settlement to Garuda Camp was still thousands of miles away. If they set out now, they would definitely not be able to reach the Asura Camp settlement at night. Therefore, he decided to settle in Garuda Camp.
We will rest for a day and set out again early tomorrow morning to rush to the Ashura camp settlement.
So, what should you do with the remaining half of the day?
Zhao Hao was meditating there, but Ji Wei said excitedly: "How about we go hunting in the wild jungle. As soon as we ran here, I saw many wild beasts dodging in the jungle."
This guy just can't sit still.
The Haotian tribe really doesn't like the wild beasts in the wild jungle, because they can't eat all the cattle and sheep they raise, so why bother to go hunting in the wild jungle.
However, it's not bad if it's for recreation.
