Northland.
Xu Yunyan just led his soldiers forward aimlessly.
However, Xu Yunyan didn't have any face to look back to take a look at the people behind him who had been staring at him. Although he didn't have eyes behind him, Xu Yunyan could still feel the feeling like a wolf staring at him.
Xu Yunyan was so embarrassed. Looking at the endless wilderness in front of him, he couldn't help but complain.
How did he become a general, and he didn't even have any food, so he let these soldiers follow him and starve for nine meals in three days?
Could it be that they were so hungry that they sliced themselves into pieces and ate them with dipping?
Just when Xu Yunyan was complaining about his bizarre experience and worrying about his own safety, the Tang army in front of them was still moving forward as before. The further they moved forward, the more uneasy they became.
"What's going on? Isn't this general going to find some supplies for us? There isn't much else on this grassland, so why can't we still find those ownerless cattle and sheep?"
If these Tang Army soldiers knew that because of their actions, they defeated the Turks and made many of the Turks' original cattle, sheep and horses ownerless on the grasslands. Many people with the idea of getting rich overnight came to the grasslands and would The ownerless cattle, sheep and horses were captured and purchased.
What's more, their current location is close to the Tang Dynasty. The original counties and counties were garrisoned by Tang troops, which made these people even more unscrupulous to capture them. Now even if someone really appears, A cow or a sheep will not be ownerless.
However, the more everyone followed Xu Yunyan forward, the more they felt a little uncomfortable in their energy and spirit, and the more they stared at Xu Yunyan, making Xu Yunyan extremely embarrassed, suddenly Xu Yunyan pulled out his waist as if he had thought of something. weapons between.
The defenders who were staring at Xu Yunyan with eager eyes trembled instantly after Xu Yunyan drew his weapon.
"That's not true, is it? Didn't I just stare at you a few times? What are you doing? What do you want to do when you draw your weapon?"
Although Xu Yunyan did not speak, he drew the weapons from his waist. The soldiers behind him, and of course the old soldiers who followed him, also drew their weapons from their waists and stood on guard.
However, Xu Yunyan had just been on guard here for a short time before inserting the sword back into the scabbard. His old soldiers also imitated Xu Yunyan's actions. Although they didn't know why, they just did what their general did.
This suddenly made the original Su Dingfang cavalrymen who were staring at Xu Yunyan resentful tremble with fear.
"Draw out your weapon to warn us, right? We are helpless!
If you ask us to listen to you, we should at least take care of the food, right? "
But just as they were complaining about letting Xu Yunyan take care of the meal, Xu Yunyan suddenly pulled out the spear hanging next to the saddle.
This suddenly shocked these people even more.
"What are you doing? It's endless. You just pulled out a sword to scare us. It was already outrageous. Now you pull out a spear. What on earth do you want to do? Can't we just stop talking?"
Just when Su Dingfang's cavalry were complaining, Xu Yunyan threw the spear in his hand forward.
With a whoosh, after the sound of breaking the air, the spear hit a black figure running on the ground in front of him.
Xu Yunyan gained something and hurriedly rushed forward.
This suddenly made the soldiers very curious about Xu Yunyan.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why did you suddenly attack the ground? Is there something to eat on the ground or something?"
However, although these people were puzzled, they quickly drove their horses to the place where Xu Yunyan had just attacked.
On the ground, Xu Yunyan actually stabbed a creature with a spear. Seeing the rat on the spear that Xu Yunyan pulled out, everyone couldn't help but complain.
One mouse is not enough to share it. Even if it is boiled into soup, one person will not be able to share a mouthful!
Some people complained again, and Xu Yunyan waved the spear in his hand.
"Soldiers!"
At this moment, everyone looked at Xu Yunyan, and those who had been complaining couldn't help but complain even more.
"Does the general really want us to eat rats? There are really not enough rats to eat! Even the tooth-beating ceremony is not enough!"
While they were looking at Xu Yunyan here, Xu Yunyan said to them.
"Do you know why I took you north without supplies?"
What Xu Yunyan said was very straightforward, and those who complained endlessly looked at the rat on Xu Yunyan's spear.
You're not just going to let us eat this mouse to last us until you reach your Anbei Protector's Mansion, are you? By then, maybe all of us will be as hungry as a mouse.
Some people kept complaining here, and Xu Yunyan didn't pay attention to these people's complaints. Instead, he raised the mouse in his hand to the sky, and when he retracted the spear, the sword at his waist was unsheathed.
A flash of cold light flashed, and the sword flashing with cold light had split the mouse into two pieces from the middle, and a faint smell of blood began to permeate the scene.
"You are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
Everyone who said this sentence nodded. Of course they were soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they were also fearless soldiers.
Xu Yunyan continued after finishing speaking.
"You will face many serious difficulties in the future, such as lack of food and grass. This is just the simplest. The most difficult thing is that you have lost the battle, have no food and grass, and are surrounded by the enemy."
When Xu Yunyan said this, these men of the Tang Dynasty didn't know who was taking the lead.
"We are not afraid. Even if we are surrounded by enemies, we will fight until the last moment and will never let the enemies get any benefits."
】
Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction.
“I believe you will do what you say and do it even more beautifully.
But I also want to teach you a lesson. Even if you are really out of ammunition and food, you will not be able to fight after being surrounded by the enemy.
Just like this food and grass, we didn't bring any food and grass with us this time, but I will definitely bring enough food and grass to take you safely to the Anbei Protectorate. "
Xu Yunyan said this. The soldiers in front of him looked at me and I looked at you. They all saw incredible things in the eyes of their companions across from them.
As for the old soldiers who followed Xu Yunyan? But he didn't care at all what Xu Yunyan said.
They had been following Xu Yunyan for a day or two. Didn't Xu Yunyan do enough shocking things?
They had seen Xu Yunyan's ability many times. It was true that he could talk about it for three days and three nights. Even if he could conjure food and grass out of thin air, they would believe it.
Although Xu Yunyan's boss firmly believed that Xu Yunyan would definitely bring them enough food, although the cavalrymen like Su Dingfang knew that there was such a general with astonishing power and hands and eyes, they did not know Xu Yunyan's methods. Here he looked at Xu Yunyan with suspicion.
Xu Yunyan didn't argue much with them. Instead, when they looked at him with confusion, he started talking to each other.
"There are many rats on this grassland."
"mouse?"
They know this thing. They are good at stealing food in their hometown, and there are rats on this grassland. Eat the roots of the fodder of cattle and sheep, and compete with them for food.
"But you're not going to let us eat these rats, are you?"
The Tang army in front of them was very curious. Could it be that the general in front of them was really forced to run out of food and asked them to catch mice in the pasture?
Just when they were wondering here, Xu Yunyan looked at them and continued talking.
"Since you know that there are many rats in the pasture, you might as well practice your martial arts.
It can not only improve your archery and throwing skills, but also supplement some food. What do you think? "
When everyone heard Xu Yunyan say this, their expressions became very unnatural.
“What you said is really confusing us as if we were children.
You also asked us to catch mice to supplement our own food. You just said you wanted to starve us to death, didn't you?
Why do you look like a flower to make fun of us? "
Just when these soldiers were complaining like this, Xu Yunyan continued to speak in their disbelieving eyes.
"This mouse is a good thing. It eats the essence of heaven and earth and is full of good meat..."
Xu Yunyan's mouth is full of protein and so on.
At first glance, it seems that I learned it from some people who ate too many rats in the wilderness.
However, Xu Yunyan is also self-aware. After he talked about rats, he continued.
"Actually, this rat meat is not for you to eat."
"Forehead?"
This suddenly surprised these people even more.
"If it's not for us to eat, then who should eat it? Should it be for our war horses to eat?
Can they eat meat? But don't think that after eating your rat meat, you can still ride it and become a meat-eating animal. What if one day there is no more meat and you bite us? "
These soldiers were worried here again, while Xu Yunyan was talking there.
"You can smell it, a mouse has a faint smell of blood."
Everyone didn't know why.
But there is still common sense.
Definitely, as long as you see blood, it must smell like blood, no matter how big or small it is.
After they finished speaking, Xu Yunyan looked at everyone nodding and then said with a smile.
"The smell of one mouse is a little lighter, but if you get ten or eight of them, the smell will be stronger. What if you get a hundred of them?"
At this time, everyone was even more confused.
"What on earth do you want to do? With a hundred rats, we can really make soup and drink a portion of them and we will be full."
Just when everyone looked at me and I looked at you and were surprised, Xu Yunyan said.
"The bloody smell of these one hundred mice is enough to attract wolves on the grassland. Do you think we will still lack meat when these wolves come?"
Wolves?
A term that made everyone tremble uncontrollably. It was quite frightening. Of course, there was no way for a single person to survive, but that was not the case when their army encountered a pack of wolves. , to them the wolves are nothing more than brought lambs.
After understanding the source of their meat, everyone couldn't help but applaud.
"It turns out that the general intends to train our archery and spear and javelin throwing skills, and as the general said, as long as our spear throwing and archery skills improve, our combat power will be greatly improved! "
One person said this, and another person next to him hurriedly echoed it.
"Yes, yes! As long as our archery and throwing skills improve, and if we encounter wolves and fight bloody battles with wolves, and hone our skills, our combat power will skyrocket!"
These people finally understood Xu Yunyan's good intentions, and Xu Yunyan finally wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Fortunately, the food issue is easy to solve. If there is really no food, these rats in front of me should be able to accompany me for a day or two. First, Bai Huode will starve for nine meals in three days, and recently, the champion will starve for eight meals in three days. Dun, no problem!”
