The spring grassland is full of wild cattle, sheep and horses.
This season is also the breeding season for cattle, sheep and horses. Groups of horses are leisurely choosing their spouses on the grassland in preparation to breed better next generations.
It's just that the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland didn't notice at all. When they were leisurely choosing their partners for reproduction, a Tang Army cavalry surrounded them from all directions.
"General, general, look ahead. There is a herd of wild sheep. There must be seven or eight hundred sheep at least."
Zhai Peng was yelling there, and Xu Yunyan looked at him and nodded.
"That's right! There must be at least seven to eight hundred sheep ahead, but how do you know they are wild?"
"It must be wild."
Zhai Peng was a little confused by Xu Yunyan's question, but he still spoke seriously here.
"If they are not wild, why aren't there any people watching from all directions? Don't they have to be watched by their owners?"
When Zhai Peng said this, Xu Yunyan was also puzzled here.
"Don't let anything happen. We have finally eased our relationship with the Turks. If I attack rashly, the flock of sheep in front of me will have another owner, and the excitement will be huge."
Just when Xu Yunyan was thinking this, the Tang soldiers who were surrounding him from all directions waved the Tang army flag in their hands to indicate that the ambush circle had been set.
Seeing that no Turks came to claim it, it was true that the sheep was ownerless.
After confirming that these seven or eight hundred sheep were wild, they might have belonged to a certain Turkic tribe in the past. However, due to the war, they were freed and could go wherever they wanted. It was just an unlucky thing today that I didn’t read the almanac when I went out. Xu Yunyan and his party were arrested.
However, no matter whether these seven or eight hundred sheep saw the Tang army coming from a distance, they were still there, lowering their heads and leisurely nibbling on the fresh and tender grass in front of them. With the sound of horse hooves trampling the ground one after another, they raised their heads in panic. , watching the grass in front of me sway here inexplicably.
There was no wind on the grassland. With their little brain power, they couldn't figure out what was going on. One after another, deadly arrows were already being shot at their heads.
"BAA Baa baa!"
The sheep had no choice but to use baa to reply to the deadly arrow. What did it matter whether Tang Jun understood or not?
Under the shooting of bows and arrows by the soldiers of the Tang Army, more than half of the sheep were taken away in one wave. After this scene, the remaining sheep were stunned in place and did not leave.
"BAA Baa baa?"
"BAA Baa baa!"
Both rams and ewes suffered heavy casualties, and some of the newly-paired sheep became single or leftover sheep.
Seeing how one of their attacks had turned out, the soldiers who followed their team and were recruited from the Turks were speaking in somewhat sloppy Chinese.
"Try not to kill those ewes with distended bellies. They already have lambs in their bellies. After driving them back to the camp, they will be able to give birth to a lamb in a short time."
After the Turks said this, these Tang soldiers were scratching their heads.
"This...that...we can't tell which one is the ewe!"
This Turkic man suddenly showed his skills.
“The one with the horns is the ram, and the one without the horns is the ewe.”
"Oh oh oh, I got it."
This group of Tang Army soldiers couldn't help but thumb up at the soldier recruited by the Turks.
"Astro Boy, you are so good, you know all these things."
The man called Astro Boy had never thought that these Tang Army soldiers were very friendly with him on weekdays. Once he made a mistake, he would admit his mistake and even give himself a thumbs up and say he was great. This made The Turkic man named Astro Boy was even more elated here, silently thinking in his heart what a right choice it was to join the Tang Army and become a Tang person.
Yinshan Mountain, the original holy land of the Turks, outside the Anbei Army camp.
Xu Yunyan led 500 soldiers and drove many wild cattle and sheep outside the military camp. As soon as he entered the patrol range, he was notified of the entire Anbei military camp.
Xu Yunyan was sure to be welcomed when he returned home with a full load, so Feng Tao rushed up with a group of people.
"Master Protector's action is really a success. It's an eye-opener for us."
Feng Tao was complimenting Xu Yunyan here, and Xu Yunyan looked at the group of cattle and sheep in front of him and asked.
"How can I say this? It's just good luck."
"You're welcome, Protector."
"It's really not a courtesy, it's just good luck."
After delivering the shot sheep and instructing Feng Tao to properly dispose of the meat and fur, Xu Yunyan looked at the remaining 300 lambs and ewes, and asked Feng Tao here.
"How to deal with this? According to the Turks, the ewes should be kept? Will they give birth to lambs? And killing these lambs now is a complete waste, and there will be only a few taels of meat. But who will raise them?"
Xu Yunyan encountered another problem. He looked at the sheep here without saying how to arrange them. The soldiers nearby saw that the arrangements for the sheep had not been completed, so they stayed here and did not return to the camp. After Zhai Peng returned to the camp, he came to Xu Yunyan's side.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"General."
Xu Yunyan, who was thinking about how to place these sheep, turned to look at him.
"What's wrong? Does your town general have any good suggestions?"
Xu Yunyan's unreasonable words stunned Zhai Peng.
"Ah? General, what good advice do you have? How can I come up with any good advice for you with my stupid head?"
Zhai Peng smiled awkwardly and said, "General, I think you are back now. Can you let me go back and take a look?"
"Oh, it turns out I'm not here to help."
Xu Yunyan looked at Zhai Peng with a strange expression: "It turns out that I want a wife. I thought you were going to help me. Go ahead, go ahead, but don't say I'm unkind. You two young couples won't let you be together." Stay."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Zhai Peng was about to leave, but looking at the proud Zhai Sui, Xu Yunyan suddenly had an idea.
He just couldn't bear to show off, so he said coldly.
"stop!"
Zhai Peng stopped for an instant and turned his head. The bitter melon lines on his face were clearly visible.
"General, I...I was wrong. I shouldn't be in such a hurry to see my wife-in-law."
The more Zhai Peng talked, the more he seemed to show off that he had a wife, which made Xu Yunyan's expression even more ugly. She looked at him and couldn't help but say it again.
"Now it seems that I can't let you go back directly. I have new arrangements."
No matter what Xu Yunyan said, Zhai Peng had no choice but to hold his nose and listen. Seeing Xu Yunyan talking more and more, Zhai Peng became more and more embarrassed. He dug out a three-bedroom and two-living room from the ground and couldn't get out. Xu Yunyan coughed.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore."
As soon as Xu Yunyan said such words, Zhai Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So the general was joking with me just now? Fortunately, he didn't really want to cause trouble for me."
While Zhai Peng was muttering here, Xu Yunyan pointed at the sheep.
"Leave these ewes and lambs to your wife and let her hire some people to take care of them on the grassland. I guess she, the former head of the Li family, always has a good mind, right?
I'm not giving it to you for free. How many sheep are there now? You have to return it to me at the end of the year, and the remaining sheep will be yours. However, if you eat the meat of this sheep in the future, all the skins will be handed over to the designated personnel in the military camp for disposal, and they are not allowed to be disposed of at will. Do you understand? "
When Xu Yunyan said this, Zhai Peng's brain capacity was a bit low and he didn't figure out what the account was, but those who were smarter were already here sighing at Xu Yunyan's generosity.
Seeing that Zhai Peng was still here, looking stupid, he immediately circled his fingers and talked to him about the benefits.
First of all, as long as these ewes give birth to lambs, as long as there are no problems, Zhai Peng and his wife can keep them, and the other sheep will grow fat and strong at the end of the year for the army to eat. Returning them will reduce their troubles. Whether they sell the remaining sheep at the end of the year or keep them for another wave of lambs next spring, they will definitely make a profit.
As for the manpower to be hired, how many sheep will be given to him at the end of the year, or how much will it cost? Isn’t this a very simple problem to solve?
Xu Yunyan drew a pie for Zhai Peng here, and Zhai Peng looked at Xu Yunyan with bright eyes.
After he understood what was going on, he nodded hurriedly.
"Don't worry, General, I will do this beautifully."
Zhai Peng rushed to the tent where his wife Li Xiaoheng was to report the good news. By the time Zhai Peng led Li Xiaoheng to take over the sheep, Li Xiaoheng had already brought a small group of several people to come and collect the sheep. Take over this matter.
Looking at the people Li Xiaoheng pulled over, whether they were the original Turks or the Han people who found something profitable, they were all women. Seeing these women coming and dressed in fancy clothes, some of them behind me didn't seem to have married yet, and I couldn't help but look at them looking like pig brothers.
Xu Yunyan didn't care about these things. He waved his hand and sent the sheep out, then took the group of soldiers who were about to be unable to walk back to the camp quickly.
While walking, Xu Yunyan muttered here.
"Now is not the time to relax. Don't cause bad things to happen because of these things and put Tang Jun in trouble."
However, Xu Yunyan said that Crow Mouth seemed to have the possibility of consecration and upgrade. After returning to his tent, Shi Jin came to him with an ugly face.
Xu Yunyan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Shi Jin's appearance.
"What happened to Deputy Protector Shi? I went out hunting today, didn't you? Tomorrow I will be in the military camp, and Deputy Protector Shi will lead the team to hunt. Isn't that good?"
Xu Yunyan asked Shi Jin here if he didn't want Shi Jin to have opinions about him by doing these things.
But Shi Jin looked at Xu Yunyan and shook his head.
"It's not these things, but something more serious than this."
"What?"
Xu Yunyan sat upright, "Could it be that some Turks are causing trouble?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Shi Jin and asked seriously, while Shi Jin looked at the murderous Xu Yunyan and slowly shook his head.
"As long as the Turks don't cause trouble for us and embarrass those Turks who love Li Tang."
However, Xu Yunyan just finished his emotion and continued to ask here.
"Then I don't know what it is?"
Xu Yunyan was still asking carefully here, and Shi Jin sighed.
"Does the Protector know that some of the newly recruited soldiers in the camp are young and vigorous?"
Xu Yunyan nodded and Shi Jin continued.
"They fell in love with some Turkic girls around the camp."
"This is a good thing."
Xu Yunyan said directly that this was a good thing.
"It is most appropriate for these Turkic women to marry unmarried soldiers. How can the word Turkic appear in the future? They are all serious people of the Tang Dynasty."
