Xiao Han knew everything about Liu Er's temper and character many years ago! I know that this is a fool who loves to show off, and he doesn't have any tricks in his stomach, so I can't get angry with him at all.
"Okay, okay, stop acting, I have something serious to tell you." Rolling his eyes at Liu Er's poor performance, Xiao Han coughed lightly and said seriously.
"Oh? What's the matter? Just tell me, Mr. Hou!" Seeing that Xiao Han's expression didn't seem to be fake, Liu Er immediately stopped joking and became serious.
"Hey, it's all about these cattle and sheep!" Xiao Han raised his eyes, looking at the snow-white sheep in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, we can return to the three hundred miles in one day! But now! With so many animals, we probably wouldn’t be able to finish the journey in four or five days!
And if you’re just rushing, it’s easy to say that it’s just a matter of spending more time! But so many livestock also need to eat. Now that the grass has turned yellow and only a few grass roots are left, what should we feed them in these four or five days? "
"hiss……"
When Liu Er heard this, he immediately gasped as if he had a toothache.
After wiping out the Red Wolf tribe, he saw such a large area of cattle and sheep, and all he wanted to do was drive these livestock back to Shuofang to improve the lives of his brothers in the city!
Now after Xiao Han reminded me, it suddenly occurred to me that although these livestock can walk, they still need to eat!
With more than 10,000 mouths, even if they eat grass, it is an astronomical number every day. Even if I bleed 300 people, I probably won't be able to feed them!
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I wish I hadn't set fire to those fodders!" Liu Er said regretfully, slapping his forehead hard.
Xiao Han glanced sideways at Liu Er: "I knew earlier that the fodder would not be burned? Even if we didn't burn it, there are only three hundred of us with so much fodder. How can we transport it later?"
The elder Liu Er was so angry that he said dejectedly: "What should we do now? How about we send people back to the city quickly and mobilize more people to greet us?"
"Inappropriate!" Xiao Han once again rejected Liu Er's suggestion and sighed: "In the battle last night, we didn't actually wipe out all those Turks. A small group of people still took advantage of the chaos and escaped! So we are now His whereabouts must have been exposed, it would be too dangerous for people in the city to come out now!"
"Oops! This won't work, that won't work! What to do now! We can't leave these livestock behind to take advantage of those Turkic barbarians!" Liu Er waved his fist angrily, with a hint of incompetence and rage.
With his character, it's okay to go into battle and kill the enemy, but if he is asked to use his brain to think of a solution, it is really like blowing fire with a mallet, which is very embarrassing!
"Actually, there is still a way!"
Xiao Han glanced at the irritable Liu Er and said slowly: "It's just a bit risky!"
Liu Er was overjoyed when he heard that Xiao Han had a solution, so why did he care about taking risks? He quickly glared and asked: "Oh? What can I do! Mr. Hou, just say, if there is danger, just let me, Old Liu, go! What I am least afraid of in this life is danger!"
"Fart! Even if there is danger, we will go together. It's nothing to let you die on your own!"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Liu Er again, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw this idiot rubbing the back of his head and giggling.
In fact, he had been thinking about this issue in his mind just now. During this period, he met Wang Cheng and had a detailed discussion with him, so it was particularly easy to talk to Liu Er at this time.
He bent down to pick up a piece of gravel and drew a few circles on the ground. Xiao Han threw away the gravel, patted the dirt on his palms and said, "My method is to strike first!
You see, this is our current location. On our way back to Shuofang City, we will pass by seven or eight Turkic tribes, large and small!
These seven or eight Turkic tribes are all closest to our route! When we came, we deliberately avoided them and did not expose our whereabouts, but now, they are likely to receive the news, or directly discover our huge team! So I thought...instead of them getting everything ready and running over to beat us, we might as well pick them out first! "
"Oh? Lord Marquis, what do you mean, we have to fight all the way back?!" Liu Er asked in an excited voice with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Nonsense, of course not!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes. At this time, he had no hope for Liu Er's IQ.
"How many people do we have now? Only 300 people, okay! These nearby tribes add up to almost 10,000 people! If we really encounter each other, it is estimated that even one of them can drown us by spitting. How can you Kill him back?
I mean, take the next tribe by surprise! As soon as we grab the supplies, we rush to Shuofang. Before others can figure out our reality, we can run as far as we can! If they catch up, we'll make other plans! "
"Oh, Lord Marquis, do you want to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and then grab fodder?" Liu Er's chaotic mind finally reacted, and he grinned: "No problem, just leave this matter to us! His grandma's, We just let these barbarians rob us before, now we are going to rob them too! Lord Marquis, tell me who should we rob!"
"Let's grab it this time...ah!" Xiao Han was almost led by Liu Er to tell the truth. When he realized something was wrong, he quickly swallowed the rest of his words and glared at Liu Er: "Remember our mission It's revenge, not robbing!
"Yes, yes! It's revenge! Then who should we seek revenge from first?" Liu Er grinned, thinking that you have more than one archway!
Xiao Han saw Liu Er's disapproval, but he was too lazy to correct him. Instead, he pointed to a circle drawn in front of them on the ground and said: "That's him, the Linghu Tribe! The time is set before sunrise tomorrow." ! This time it is still a quick victory, but we can no longer kill the prisoners, we have to keep the prisoners to pull fodder for us and feed the sheep!"
"Okay!" Liu Er stared at the circle with a cold smile on his lips. He would never pity any Turk!
After making a plan with Liu Er, Xiao Han called Ren Qing, A and a few others to plan the share of firearms.
Because this was their first expedition to the grassland, they brought a lot of firearms, so there was no need to worry about running out of them for the time being!
After all this was dealt with, the scouts who were sent out also reported back one after another, and no sign of the Turkic army was found!
This is undoubtedly good news for Xiao Han.
In his opinion, it must be that the Turks who escaped from the Red Wolf tribe were frightened, so they did not run to the nearby tribe to warn them.
Of course, it is also possible that they issued a warning, but the other tribes delayed sending troops because they did not have unified command.
After all, the social structure of the Turks is extremely loose. Each tribe can be regarded as a small vassal state, and there is competition and hatred among them!
In the absence of Khan's central control, they were doing well, let alone avenging neighboring tribes or joining in the fun with torches.
