Leaving the Linghu tribe, they met the Tang Dynasty Mu Nu who had been notified and came on the road.
Xiao Han led his team and immediately rushed to Shuofang non-stop. After a day's journey, the mighty team of cattle and horses was already less than 150 miles away from Shuofang!
The reason why they left in such a hurry was because the team at this time was too huge! It is no longer possible to be as quiet as at the beginning!
So at this time, they must rush back as quickly as possible to reduce the possibility of being attacked by Turks.
After driving until evening, seeing that the people around him were really tired and sleepy, Xiao Han had to order to camp on the spot, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow.
Hearing that they could finally rest, the soldiers who had fought a battle before dawn in the morning and then ran for nearly a hundred miles immediately breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off their horses, and lay down directly on the grass.
"Get up! Get up! Take a good look at those barbarians! If they run away again, you will feed the sheep by yourself tomorrow!" Liu Er strode past among the soldiers and kicked his imageless men from the ground.
In this crisis-ridden grassland, it was far from a place where they could rest as much as they wanted.
After being scolded, the soldiers had to get up and work no matter how reluctant they were, but after thinking about the dinner, the physical fatigue was not so unacceptable.
Because he was guarding tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, Xiao Han felt that they could throw away all their dry biscuits! Just light up the fire and eat boiled food if you want, grilled food if you want to eat it! The cattle and sheep eat one and throw the other away! There's nothing you can do about it, it's just such a luxury!
Of course, the big soldiers would not take it seriously when it comes to Xiao Han's wasteful things like eating one end and throwing one away.
If you choose an old cow or a hundred sheep from the livestock herd, it will be enough for everyone to have a full belly.
After a while, the strong aroma of meat filled the entire camp! In this era where steamed buns are not enough, being able to have such a luxurious meal of meat is really satisfying for these soldiers!
Even the captured Turkic prisoners also took advantage of it, holding some of the leftover meat eaten by the Tang people, biting and swallowing it with big mouthfuls.
"Master Marquis, why are you giving them meat? According to me, you can't even give dry biscuits to these beasts! Just starve them for a few meals and save them the energy to escape!"
Not far away, Liu Er walked to Xiao Han carrying a roasted golden leg of lamb, sat down, and then looked at the Turkic prisoners who were eating meat with a dark face, with resentment in his eyes!
In the past two days, he had seen too many miserable conditions of Tang prisoners! Liu Er didn't rush forward and chop these Turks to death, but he was already quite restrained!
Now seeing that these people not only didn't suffer any punishment at Xiao Han's place, but could actually eat meat in large quantities, he was naturally so angry that he couldn't even swallow the food!
Xiao Han, who was next to the fire, saw Liu Er coming over, put down the beef in his hand, and smiled: "Let them eat, even if they eat all, how many meals can they still eat?"
"How many more meals can I have?"
After hearing Xiao Han's words, Liu Er, who was originally aggrieved, first frowned, then spread out, and finally looked at Xiao Han with a surprised look on his face: "Master Hou, what do you mean..."
Xiao Han did not hide anything from Liu Er, and sneered: "Don't worry, when we arrive at Shuofang in two days, it will be the time for them to be beheaded! Before you die, you have a good meal and you have the right to die." Let’s have our first meal!”
"Oh? Mr. Hou, you don't plan to raise them?" Liu Er grinned and laughed.
He was most afraid of Xiao Han's head getting hot. Seeing how pitiful these people were now, he would let them go in the end.
"Raise them? Why raise them?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes at Liu Er. Did this idiot really think he was running a charity? When these guys arrive at Shuofang, their only purpose is to vent their anger on the people of Shuofang!
"Hey, I'm overthinking that." Liu Er scratched the back of his head, laughed twice, then approached Xiao Han again, and whispered: "But Mr. Marquis, you only have one meal for decapitation. They go to Finally, but there are still several meals left, I, Old Liu, feel that it is still an advantage for them!"
Xiao Han shrugged this time and sneered: "Aren't one meal and several meals the same? You have to think about it, if we give them something good to eat and treat them a little better, they will have the illusion that We won't do anything to them!
Since their lives are not in danger for the time being, and escaping is a sure thing! Then who would risk their lives to escape? In exchange for a few meals, they can work peacefully and not cause us any trouble in the next few days. Do you think this transaction is a loss or a profit? "
"Oh? Mr. Hou is still smart!" Liu Er suddenly realized and gave Xiao Han a thumbs up! My heart is still yin. A rough guy like me would never give birth to so many crooked intestines!
"Haha, just average!" Xiao Han waved his hand proudly. This method of boiling frogs in warm water was something he had heard of in his previous life, but it worked so well no matter where it was placed!
After explaining the problem of the Turks, Liu Er felt his stomach growling with hunger. He took a big bite of the mutton leg and handed it to Xiao Han attentively, indicating that he should try it too.
Xiao Han will naturally not refuse this. Brothers on the battlefield eat meat and drink soup together, it's all affection! So he opened his mouth and bit into the fattest piece of calf meat, and swallowed it into his stomach in a few times.
The sheep they captured had all grown up grazing on the grassland. They ate grass and ran around every day. The four legs of the sheep were the most delicious part of their bodies! After roasting, even without condiments and just a pinch of salt, it is supremely delicious.
"Ouch..."
Just when the team was having a delicious dinner, suddenly, a wolf howled deep in the grassland, shrill and fierce, as if it was issuing some kind of warning.
Ren Qing, who had been sitting quietly by the fire eating, moved his ears, stood up and rushed in front of Xiao Han and Liu Er, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "There should be someone coming from behind!"
"Yeah! And there aren't many of them. I think 80% of them are coming towards us!" Liu Er's face darkened at this time!
After being in the grassland for a long time, an eagle's cry or a wolf's roar can tell them a lot of news!
The wolf howl just now was a warning, it meant something was definitely passing through its territory! And judging from the way it dares to howl in warning, the number of things passing through its territory won’t be too many! But it also makes it quite fearful!
In early winter, everything is dormant! The only people who can make a wolf treat him so carefully at night are people!
"Send someone to go take a look!" After hearing the two people's judgments, Xiao Han didn't necessarily look too nervous.
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but that he had already anticipated being targeted, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
You must know that this time, I wiped out three entire tribes on the grassland and seized so many cattle and sheep to show off.
Whether those fierce Turks want to avenge their compatriots or are jealous of these cattle and sheep, they cannot let them go easily!
