2830 Winter
Xiao Han didn't expect that Liu Hongji would slept for a whole day and a night!
It was not until the next day that Liu Hongji woke up from his deep sleep. The first thing he did when he got up was to rush out to pee at a lightning speed.
"Have you prepared for me? I'm full after a while and I'm going to set off again in the afternoon!"
When he came back comfortably with his pants, he saw that Xiao Han had already brought food, Liu Hongji sat down next to Xiao Han without even washing his hands, grabbed a piece of dry cake and stuffed it into his mouth!
Seeing this, Xiao Han gave Liu Hongji a disgusted look, moved his butt, and then said, "Let's leave in the afternoon? Why are you so anxious? Don't you have to rest more?"
Liu Hongji has long been used to Xiao Han's stinking habit of being clean, and he is too lazy to care about him. He just reached out and grabbed a piece of mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a few times and muttered: "Your mutton is so bad! It's the same as eating minced meat! It has no taste!"
"Nonsense, it's great that I can still have a meat look since I cooked yesterday!"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes again: "Also, I'm asking you something! Let's leave this afternoon? Don't be so anxious!"
"No hurry?"
Liu Hongji's mouth was stuffed with food and said vaguely: "Can you do it if you don't hurry? Now when those Tuguhun boys see us, the first thing they do is to set fire! Damn, I don't know what the bastard taught me! I would rather burn the things than give them to us!
Fortunately, now, we know that there are not many Tuguhun people who have entered, and they have not had a large-scale fever. Only those sporadic tribes have burned some pastures. If we know that we are coming, we are afraid that they will be cruel and burn everything. By then, we will be sad!"
Burn things?
This is indeed a tradition passed down from Tuguhun since long ago.
Unlike the Tubo people, they burn things not to sacrifice to the gods, but simply to protect themselves.
It is said that Tuguhun, who migrated to this land at the beginning, was still very weak, and they had no ability to resist after encountering the invasion of the enemy.
The only thing you can do is to ignite your pasture along with your tribe!
So that those enemies who come from afar cannot get supplies from them and finally play a role in blocking the enemy.
To put it simply, it is the most commonly used strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness in the Central Plains.
This move seems to kill 800 enemies and lose 1,500 yuan, but it is extremely useful on this grassland!
If the enemy comes to attack them, he will definitely ride a horse!
Burn the pasture.
The enemy's war horses have nothing to eat!
Originally, it was very difficult for foreign enemies to replenish supplies, and the logistics camp could only focus on people's food transportation first.
You can't let the logistics camp bring nothing else, just pull the fodder to feed the horses, right?
And on this vast grassland, once the horse is gone, the enemy will be limping and will not be able to go anywhere. In the end, they can only retreat in shame.
It is also with this trick that the Tuguhu people survived many times the crisis of destruction in the country during the more than 700th period of their founding of the country!
So now, they also use this method to deal with the Tang Dynasty. It’s no wonder that Liu Hongji is so anxious!
"That should be faster!"
After knowing the reason, Xiao Han nodded in fear, then called Xiaodong and whispered a few instructions to him, then continued to watch Liu Hongji swallowing her voraciously.
"Slow down and have some soup!"
When he saw Liu Hongji choking and rolling his eyes by a piece of dry cake, Xiao Han quickly handed over a large bowl of mutton soup that had been boiled into milky white and asked him to go with the food in his mouth first.
"Himmer...we are outside these days, try to get as much forage as possible!"
After filling half a bowl of mutton soup in one mouthful, Liu Hongji widened his eyes, burped loudly, and then continued to stuff food into his mouth and said:
"Don't raise the sheep I sent this time, let's kill them all! Anyway, it's almost cold this day, and the meat will not break easily if it's left like this. Save the grass for war horses to use!"
"I know this! I will let the people here go out to harvest the forage matters!"
There is no need to say about this, Xiao Han didn't plan to raise those beasts.
Because winter is about to begin, the winter clothes that are just running through logistics are not enough. I just happened to kill these sheep and use sheepskin to make leather jackets to keep warm.
I heard that the winter here is extremely cold! He must also take precautions in advance and save himself from waiting for the cold winter to freeze himself into a dog.
"By the way, there are those cows. The person who reported the news said you were useful, so I rushed all of them back. I forgot to ask you, what are the uses of those cows? They can't be used to eat them, right?" After stuffing a few bites of meat into his mouth, Liu Hongji suddenly remembered about those long-haired cows and couldn't help asking.
Xiao Han scratched his head irritably: "Hey, those cows are not for eating! Then you will know what they are useful, and you must be sure to use them!"
Liu Hongji was not as curious as Cheng Yaojin. In addition, he always trusted Xiao Han, so he didn't ask questions when he saw this. He continued to eat, but pointed to the dense tents outside and said, "Oh, there are so many people in your team. Is Old Cheng and Old Duan also coming? Where are their people? Why didn't they see?"
Xiao Han pointed to the east with his chin: "Like you, they have also gone out to collect things!"
Liu Hongji suddenly realized and smacked his lips and said, "So that's the case, that's a pity! If they were all here, they could be a companion!"
"Be a companion?"
Seeing Liu Hongji's regretful look, Xiao Han's mouth twitched a few times, and hummed in his heart: "If they were really here, they would probably have rushed forward and beat you, the guy who stole their top skills, to the point that he didn't even recognize his mother! Still be company! Go to the underworld to be company!"
Time is tight, and almost finished the meal, Liu Hongji was busy organizing people to set off again.
As the vast yellow dust rolled up by the horse's hooves gradually faded away, Xiao Han behind him smiled bitterly and sighed and returned to the lakeside.
Harvest the grass!
This is Xiao Han’s latest order.
Anyway, it’s not enough to use those big cars to use so many people. Finding something for them is better than being idle all day long and causing trouble.
In fact, before this, Xiao Han always felt that Li Zi valued Tu Guhun too much! He actually sent a hundred thousand troops to come at once, which made nearly half of them do nothing now.
Fight! I can’t find anyone to beat me at all. I guess even if I look for me, I can’t catch up!
Defense? If you are all cavalry this time, you don’t need to defend yourself. Just learn the sixteen-character mantra of a great man!
When the enemy retreats, we advance, when the enemy garrisons, we disturb us, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we chase!
