Chapter 41—Destructive Pillage

Rushing on the prairie requires absolute patience, not only because the prairie is so vast, but also because the speed of the lele car can't keep up with the speed of people's progress.

Walking into the other green from a piece of green, as far as the horizon is concerned, there is only green and blue in the world.

After staying on the grassland for a long time, the dogs no longer suffered from their first arrival, but instead began to enjoy such a magnificent scene.

The cow dragged the Lele cart and walked slowly. The war horse followed slowly. The only milk sheep was held in the arms by Lan Ying. Rancho sang unknown songs to coax the puppies to sleep. Such a life Gouzi is still satisfied.

Of course, it would be nice if it were as rich as home.

Finding a nomadic tribe is not an easy task. Most of them live by water plants. The cattle and sheep will leave after eating all the grass. Therefore, only herdsmen like Lanying and Rancho can judge the tribe's Approximate location.

The Hatong Department is a tribe that is neither large nor small. After listening to Lan Ying, the entire tribe is about 500 people. However, the reason why this tribe dares to shepherd near the border of Dahan is based on More than one hundred fierce Xiongnu warriors.

"The women in Hatong are very powerful and good warriors. They have also learned to ride and shoot since childhood. If men go to the battlefield, women will ride horses to hunt and shepherd. Therefore, Hatong is a very wealthy tribe.

The patriarch of the Hatong Department can sit in the tent at Shan Yu's banquet. If we want to leave peacefully, we cannot anger the people of the Hatong Department. Whether it is a man or a woman. "

Lanying jumped from the Lele car, carefully observed the grass on the ground, and then solemnly said to the dog.

"So, Hatong Department is nearby?"

"Well, the grass here was eaten by cattle and sheep. Five days ago, Hatong Department should have grazed here.

Look, that hillside should be the camp where they were stationed. "

Gouzi nodded and drove the bullock cart to the hillside.

The contract department may be the last place for their family to supply. After leaving the Hatong department, the family will really enter the no man's land.

After turning around the hillside, Gouzi saw a large messy camp, but no one could see a cow or a sheep. Even the shepherd dogs that were common in the shepherd's camp were missing.

The dog stopped, and his heart was drawn together at once, because he smelled the familiar smell of corpses ...

Gouzi took the knife slowly up the hillside, and the scene in front of him shocked him.

The huge vultures are covered with hillsides, and there are three or five gray wolves in between. These two creatures are eating the corpses everywhere.

A swollen dark arm with half of the meat exposed to the sun is at the foot of the dog ...

The wolf's blood-red eyes stared at the hurried intrusion into the dog, and the vultures twitched their wings uneasyly, making a sharp cry.

The dog slowly withdrew from the beast's cafeteria, and sweat dripped.

Perhaps it was the reason that there was enough food here. The wolf didn't chase it. The dog fled back as fast as possible, holding the bull's head and quickly escaping away.

The Lele car ran wildly on the grassland. Lanying and Rancho hugged the two shepherd dogs so as not to let them scream.

Running all the way, until the bull pulling the cart gasped, the dog stopped urging.

The sky above the head is so blue, the green grass underneath makes the scalp numb, and the mood changes, which makes the family of dogs who have just been relaxed and happy become frightened instantly.

The Hatongs should have died out ...

In the evening, Gouzi found a very hidden mountain depression, settled the whole family, and came to the mountain depression with a knife.

The two sheep were nibbling the grass there, and it could be seen that this was not a wild sheep. Even if the dog was close, the two sheep bowed the grass without raising their heads.

When the dog was easily tied with a rope, he followed the dog's footsteps and returned to the camp.

"Where's the sheep?"

Rancho asked.

"What Yamaguchi saw was like a sheep lost by a shepherd."

Rancho shook his head: "Two such big sheep, the wooden man will not be lost."

Gouzi said to Rancho: "All the people in Hatong are dead."

Rancho was silent, but hugged his son in his arms.

"Did the horse thief kill it?" Lan Ying whispered.

Gouzi shook his head and said: "No, the horse thief has no ability to deal with such a large tribe, only the army!"

"Han's army?"

Gouzi thought for a while: "It should be that if other tribes slaughtered Hatong, the purpose could only be these animals. Now, since we can all pick up sheep, the people who slaughter Hatong can only be the army. "

Lan Ying involuntarily leaned into Gouzi's arms, worriedly: "Will they also kill us?"

"If I had a chance to speak, we would be fine. If we hurriedly approached the army, we would be killed immediately."

"In this case, do we still have to find the army?"

Gouzi shook his head and said: "No, the Han army's military law is strict. Anyone who is close to the army for no reason can kill without amnesty!

"Dan Yu's army is not like this, as long as there are herders willing to join, it will become a mixed in, Shan Yu will like it very much."

"This is why Shan Yu's army can't beat the Han army now. These years, the Han army is very different from the previous Han army.

In the past, the Han army was mostly a farmer. It usually cultivates and fights in wartime. The current Han army is no longer responsible for farming, but specializes in learning the skills of combat. The real elite army looks like you cannot imagine. "

"I'm a little scared to go to the Great Han Kingdom. You have too many rules. If it's what you said ..."

Gouzi smiled slightly and reached out to hold Rancho: "There are many rules, and the government has more control, but as long as we return home, it will be completely different."

Lan Qiao laughed loudly, patting the dog's chest and saying, "Tell your family the same as Kunlun Palace."

Gouzi laughed: "For me there is my shrine."

When people are in fear, they always want more comfort. This is true for men and women. After some passion, the three people lie in a small tent and hug each other to sleep peacefully.

This night, the blue wolf howled all night near another mountain.

At dawn, the sun is shining and it's another excellent weather.

Gouze was repairing the axle of the Lele car early in the morning, but there was no better way. The so-called repair is to apply oil to the axle.

The axle made of charred wood is already terrible. There is no way for dogs to have children. Taking a car is the best way for women and children to travel.

After hesitating again and again, Gouzi was ready to go to the camp of Hatong Division again. It would be the best result if he could find a better Lele car.

You can see it yesterday. The dead bodies have been eaten up by the wolves, and the howling of the wolves for one night shows that they may be leaving this place. The howling is just the last intimidation.

Gouzi comforted himself like this, leaving Lanying and Rancho with a long knife and went to the death camp carefully.

The situation was not as good as he expected, and it did not get worse. The blue wolf left after he was full, leaving only the nasty vulture pecking at the last trace of flesh on the bone.

Although the vulture's cry was very noisy, the dog walked around the camp to search for what he could use.

When he saw a wok still hanging on the shelf, the dog's pupil began to shrink.

The people who despise the important production tool of iron pots are only the Han people. Only they will not lack iron pots, and only they will not throw this heavy iron pot on the grassland ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ He seemed to have thought of something, so the dog set his eyes on those bones, and soon he saw some hair remaining on the bones, most of which were bleached, and most of them were men's skeletons.

Basically, you can't see the corpse of a woman, or the corpse of a child ...

The Han army has no place to go. This is the iron law enforced against the Huns in the military. If a woman or young child is taken into captivity, then there is only one possibility, that is, someone is looting the population.

After getting this information, Gouzi's footsteps became a lot lighter. If the people who destroyed the Hatong Department were the Han's slave-hunting groups, then it would be much easier to go home, because all the slave trade in the Han Dynasty They are inextricably linked with their owners.

It's a pity that Gouzi didn't find a Lele car when he went around the camp. This is actually an inevitable result. Lele car is the most important means of transportation on the grassland. If the slave trapping group of the Han Dynasty caught slaves, naturally They must be transported away by Lele car.

After finding some barely usable blankets, the dog hurriedly ran into the col, leaving Lanying and Rancho's children in the wilderness.
