At the same time, in order to deal with the wild beasts on the grassland and the remaining survivors, the original tribal barbarians, or the relatively close tribe barbarians.
Many people have chosen to gather together to face the danger and the cold winter that has arrived...
On the vast grassland.
A small tribe of two to three hundred people gathered together, constantly chasing water and grass, heading towards Rouge Mountain.
Rouge Mountain is rich in natural resources, including forest resources, wild fruits, and edible prey such as birds and animals.
There are also water sources, minerals, etc.
It’s a huge treasure land!
The Xiongnu regarded it as a sacred mountain, as did other tribes.
It's just that the Xiongnu occupied Rouge Mountain before, making it impossible for other tribes to survive here.
Now that the Xiongnu has perished, many tribes formed by the remaining barbarians from the grasslands have begun to pay attention to this area.
I want to occupy it, survive as a basic base, and grow stronger!
And just when this small tribe came to the foot of Rouge Mountain.
However, they were intercepted by a team of a hundred people who suddenly appeared. Each of them was wearing armor, either copper, iron armor, leather armor, rattan armor, etc.
A third of the men were on war horses.
The leader is a strong man who looks like a Qin man. He holds a sharp knife in his hand, a bow and arrow on his back, and rides a strong horse. He looks very majestic.
"stop!"
Zhang Teng raised his long knife and shouted loudly: "My eldest brother has taken over Rouge Mountain now. If you want to live here, you must join us!"
Liu Ji and others have now occupied Rouge Mountain, and their team has grown a lot.
Various armors, weapons, horses, etc. were all scavenged from the battlefield.
"snort!"
However, the people from the opposite tribe were very dissatisfied and snorted with disdain.
"Rouge Mountain belongs to the Xiongnu. Now that the Xiongnu is gone, it is a property without an owner. Why do you occupy it?!"
"No big deal, let's have a fight!"
There are more than two to three hundred people in the small tribe, and most of them are young and strong.
Because old age has no value and is abandoned.
The rest of the people are also women with reproductive value, as well as teenagers and children who represent the future.
Those young men are also very powerful and fierce!
The living environment on the grassland is harsh, so they often practice riding and shooting skills from an early age.
Therefore, although they only have about three hundred people, there are nearly two hundred of them who can fight!
Naturally, he is not afraid of Zhang Teng and others.
"Yeah, then look at the back!"
Zhang Teng stroked the long knife with one hand and said disdainfully.
He has seen many people like this.
What? !
Everyone in the small tribe was confused when they heard this, and several people turned their heads and glanced.
But he saw a dark crowd behind him, surrounded by hundreds of people, half of whom were cavalry.
"this……"
The leader of the small tribe panicked.
There are two hundred people on the opposite side, and they are all strong men, with nearly a hundred cavalry!
Their tribe only had more than twenty cavalry, and they were unable to resist.
Moreover, I'm afraid there are more than just these people on the other side.
really……
Right now!
I saw another strong man coming with hundreds of iron cavalry. At first glance, he was extremely capable and different from the others.
It's just that the strong man doesn't have a long beard.
The person who came was none other than Liu Ji. He was holding a wolf in his hand and was returning from hunting not far away.
"Ah!"
Liu Ji pretended to smile cheerfully and said, "There's someone here again!"
"Hey, what are you doing? Put down your weapons quickly!"
The words fell.
Zhang Teng and others put down their weapons.
The people in the small tribe were confused, not knowing what was going on, and their eyes were puzzled.
The leader stared at Liu Ji with great caution. In his opinion, this person was extremely dangerous!
"Hehehe!"
Liu Ji smiled, looked down at the small tribe, and said loudly: "Fellow grassland warriors, I have already occupied Rouge Mountain. I'm sorry!"
"If you want to enter Rouge Mountain, you can rely on me."
"Although I am a Qin person, I was a Chu person before that. I have an sworn hatred with the Qin people, just like you."
"Everyone has taken refuge in me. I will lead you through this winter. I have many cattle and sheep, as well as weapons and armor, which can be distributed to you..."
First, he announced the ownership of Rouge Mountain, and then he empathized with the other party, while describing a beautiful picture, and began to draw the pie.
This is the method Liu Ji has researched over time on how to absorb these remaining barbarian tribes.
What these grassland barbarians care about most is staying alive!
Then it just snowballed.
When encountering a force that is inferior to the other party, it is to lie dormant, pretend to be obedient, and while facing a life and death crisis, surrender to the other party...
Everything is for living!
The leader of the small tribe did not want to agree, and even looked embarrassed and refused.
No, no!
The sound of weapons sounded.
Zhang Teng looked at them meaningfully, chopping the tall grass with a big knife in his hand.
The sword flashed, and it was extremely cold!
Everyone in the small tribe instantly felt a crisis. While each one of them became vigilant, their expressions were also hesitant as to whether to surrender to the other party.
If you refuse, it will be a life and death battle. If you take refuge, you will not only survive, but you can also get cattle, sheep and other livestock and materials...
For them, as long as they are alive, it is more important than anything else.
"I……"
The leader frowned, knelt down and kowtowed: "We are willing to submit to you, sir!"
"We are willing to submit to you, sir!"
The rest of the people also knelt down one after another.
In the end, they chose to live.
"Hahaha, okay!"
Liu Ji smiled and ordered his followers to help the leader up and everyone to stand up.
During this period of time, many barbarians from the grassland who came to Rouge Mountain were coerced and subdued by Liu Ji.
There were also those who were unwilling to submit and wanted to occupy Rouge Mountain or leave, but they were all killed by Liu Ji's men.
Liu Ji's power continues to grow. After taking over this small tribe, it has reached 10,000 people!
Among them, there are more than 6,000 young and strong people, more than 2,000 women, and more than 1,000 young children!
In other words, those who can fight can form a ten thousand knights, which can be regarded as a large tribe.
At the same time, occupying Rouge Mountain, Liu Ji also obtained a steady stream of natural materials, treasures, herbs, minerals, etc.
Relying on those heavenly materials and earthly treasures that contain spiritual energy, such as elixirs, spiritual stones, etc., as well as herbs and materials stripped from many poisonous insects and beasts, etc., to make elixirs and medicinal powders for medicinal baths.
His strength is also growing.
As a basic official of the Qin Empire, he was originally only a seventh-grade warrior.
Now he has a fourth-level cultivation!
And for some reason, he felt something was wrong with his body.
He always dreamed of a long red sword landing on the grassland and being picked up by him.
Rouge Mountain.
A series of houses, endless...
This was built by Liu Ji and his men.
