The wooden barrel, which is almost half a person's height, squeezes the yurt so much that you can't move your feet.
Zhang Qi sat on one of the barrels and shouted several times: "Here comes someone."
Two female soldiers opened the door curtain and walked in.
"Owner."
"Go and call Hui over and ask him to bring a few people."
"As commanded."
The female soldier took the order and left. Not long after, Hui ran over with a few men.
"Qi, are you looking for me?"
Within a month or two, Hui, who was once thin, began to stand up, and her face was rosy and fleshy.
bang bang,
Zhang Qi patted the barrel he was sitting on twice, and said with a proud smile on his face: "Open it and take a look."
Hui didn't know why, so he stepped forward and pried open a barrel.
Suddenly, a sweet aroma filled the yurt.
"Is this...honey?"
Hui was greatly shocked. The red, translucent and viscous liquid was very beautiful, and it was also full of sweetness, which left people with an aftertaste.
Zhang Qi didn't say what it was, but smiled at Huihe and said, "Haha, try it."
Hui stretched out her fingers and scraped the syrup bucket, then put it into her mouth.
The sweet taste was intoxicating, and Hui couldn't help but close her eyes, chewing the sweet smell in her mouth.
After a while, he swallowed reluctantly and opened his eyes.
"It's delicious, it's sweet, hahaha." Zhang Qi laughed when he saw Hui opening her eyes.
The people at the bottom of this era have very little taste for 'sweet'. Apart from various fruits, they have no chance to taste any sweets.
As for honey, it was supplied to the rich and powerful.
Hui smacked her lips, savoring the taste in her mouth, and nodded: "Sweet, delicious, Qi, is this honey?"
"No, this is sugar syrup, leave it to you."
Zhang Qi waved his hand casually.
Hui looked shocked again.
"Leave all of this to me?"
"Yes, I'll leave it to you. From now on, in addition to supplying meals to the military camp, we will also supply syrup once a day."
"It doesn't take much. Let the craftsmen prepare buckets, ten pounds of hot water, and one pound of sugar syrup. Mix them well and let the soldiers drink them after training."
"Besides, hehe." Zhang Qi winked, and the few people who had followed Hui walked out knowingly.
"You can find something to decorate with yourself later. If you, Ying and the others are greedy, eat some, but don't eat too much, as your teeth may get damaged easily."
Zhang Qi patted Hui on the shoulder with a smile on his face. The latter was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "If the eagle and harrier find out about this, they will annoy me to death."
"Haha, I don't care about that, I'll leave it all to you for safekeeping. Anyway, they are being asked to bother me, or else I'll kick their butts!"
Zhang Qi laughed loudly, and Hui also had a smile on his face. Ever since he followed Zhang Qi and escaped from the clan, life has been getting better day by day.
They were once slaves, but now they have few people at their disposal. Needless to say, Eagle is now a military commander in charge of more than 600 people. He himself also manages the supplies of the camp. Harrier now also leads Hundreds of hunters hunt in the woods every day.
Even the uncle with the best temper has now become the teacher in the camp, teaching the words and knowledge learned from Zhang Qi and Lu Mu.
Now the brothers have found their favorite thing to do, and they are happy every day.
"Okay, I'll take it then."
Hui smiled and talked to Zhang Qi.
"Well, take them away. By the way, the number of ships is enough now. Tell Lu Mu and let him arrange for craftsmen to build the vehicles."
"I think spring will start in a few months, and then we will continue walking southeast."
"hurry up."
Hui said hello, and the few people who came with him outside started to lift the barrel.
After walking out of the yurt, Hui said to Zhang Qi: "Yes, I understand and I will make arrangements."
"Well, go get busy." Zhang Qi waved his hand, and Hui left with Tang Xi and others.
----------
Time passes day by day.
Things were in order in the camp.
The army has been trained well. After two or three months, the once skinny servants are now almost like normal people.
Several camps in the forest are filled with deafening shouts every day.
On this day, Zhang Qi inspected the camp as usual, and when he was about to return to the yurt to study, several people hurried in from outside the camp.
"Report! Urgent report!"
The visitor ran all the way, and after entering the camp, he saw Zhang Qi and the female soldier beside him at a glance.
The direction he ran towards the yurt immediately changed and he ran straight in front of Zhang Qi.
"Your Majesty! Urgent report!"
"Say!" Zhang Qi looked serious. The only thing that could be used to report urgently now was the movements of Zuo Tuqi's tribe.
"Your Majesty, reinforcements from the Zuo Tuqi tribe have arrived! They are now gathering on the east side of Hulun Lake!"
"how many people!"
"Report to your Majesty! I am the one who reported first. The specific number of people will have to wait for other sentries to arrive!"
"I know, let's go down, there's a reward!"
Zhang Qi patted the man on the shoulder, then turned to Na Qi and said: "Quickly pass, let Wang Li, Ying, Na Qi, whoever prepares the army come to see me quickly!"
"As you command!"
Without any hesitation, Naqi heard a rapid whistle from her mouth. Outside the camp, a free war horse came running after hearing the whistle.
Naqi also ran towards it, and just when the two were about to collide, Naqi twisted his body and mounted the war horse along the horse's back in a beautiful posture.
After adjusting his posture slightly, he ran out of the camp with the horse under his belly.
Zhang Qi also walked towards the yurt without stopping.
He had expected the return of support from the Zuo Tuqi tribe, and he was also waiting for two results.
He had learned from Aguru that the Xiongnu Chanyu was going to launch a border invasion against the Han Dynasty, and it was most likely a Mayi conspiracy in his mind, so he dared to provoke Zuo Tuqi's tiger beard at this time.
Now that revenge is coming, Zhang Qi is not too worried, because he knows that there will not be too many people returning to help the Zuo Tuqi tribe, and at most they will be the soldiers and horses of the Zuo Tuqi tribe.
Moreover, in accordance with the Huns' greed for the Han land, Zuo Tuqi would not even send his elite troops to return reinforcements, because in his eyes, the tribe's herdsmen were nothing more than grassland grassland, and the cattle and sheep would still grow after eating one crop. Make a difference.
The importance of Cao Ke is not comparable to the wealth of the Han Dynasty. Zuo Tuqi Yudan is now waiting to enjoy a bigger pastry and will not use most of his strength to protect Cao Ke.
"Number of people! Number of people is the key. As long as I know how many people from the Zuo Tuqi tribe have returned, I will know whether this battle can be fought!"
Zhang Qi paced anxiously in the yurt. As long as he could know the specific number of Huns this time, and as long as the number of people on the opposite side did not exceed five thousand, he would dare to lead people to fight and train troops. Only on a real battlefield could he Train elite soldiers!
"Your Majesty!"
"start!"
"Owner!"
Wang Li, Ying, who, and the other four came to the yurt, each of them wearing armor and looking heroic.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, another urgent announcement sounded outside the yurt.
