As for the other 700 righteous followers who returned to the pass with him and got rid of their status as slaves of the Hu people, Major General Ling Buyi decided to focus on their opinions. If they are willing to serve the people, they will serve the people. The government will allocate land and farming tools to them.
Those who are willing to serve as soldiers are naturally the best. With their hatred for the barbarians in the grassland, after being trained well, they will be good soldiers.
However, there is something hard to say about this arrangement.
Yi Cong, after all, is Yi Cong, not a regular sergeant in the establishment. No matter how good a temporary worker performs, he is still different from an establishment worker.
At the suggestion of Major General Ling Buyi, Xie Yu, who did not want to farm, joined the border army.
Judging from Xie Yu's performance and the recommendation of Major General Ling Buyi, Xie Yu not only had a household registration in this world, but also got a position of chief or team leader who could manage ten people.
There is no need for a team leader. He reports to the central government and the border county governor directly accepts his fate. This is the highest official system. This is a treatment only based on the face of Major General Ling Buyi.
The higher level of a team that can control fifty people requires at least the consent of the state, not to mention the higher level of a village commander who can control two hundred sergeants, all of which have official imperial officialdom.
Coupled with some careful thoughts of Major General Ling Buyi, he felt that it would be good to let Xie Yu be the team leader now. When he made plans in the capital, he would also transfer Xie Yu there.
As for the others, they were dismissed as small soldiers. Those who were outstanding and had the blood of barbarians could also be made corps commanders. After all, military merit was the most important thing in the new dynasty, so it was relatively fair.
Xie Yu also didn't expect that even though he was in a very senior position, he was actually a well-connected household. After being received by the military commander of the county, he just refused his plan to arrange a ride.
Xie Yu took the paperwork with him and went to the military camp to take over. The nine sergeants guarding the border took three pack horses and supplies and set off.
Xie Yu was leading a green and fat horse, wearing leather armor, with a worn out and retired standard iron bow on his back, and a standard thick iron sword hanging on his waist.
He kept his wealth and gains in the open, but unfortunately, along the way, no enthusiastic barbarians came to thresh the grass.
Without starting a war, there would be no honest progress, let alone the fact that we are now formal soldiers with a formal establishment, and you can get promoted by killing the enemy.
This is the difference between military generals and civilian officials. Military generals may lose their lives quickly if they are promoted quickly, while civilian officials may not be promoted for many years, but at least their lives are still there.
Of course, the main reason may be that it was just after the war. Not only were there many relics after the war on the road, but there were also many soldiers in groups of several people who were rushing to guard the border, all in a group or a group.
These soldiers were released to the military fortress outside the wall, and their main purpose was to serve as warnings and inspections.
After checking the documents, Xie Yu, who did not get lost because of the presence of the pair of falcons, soon led his group to the small river beacon fort near the river beach.
Looking at the dilapidated and leaky fortress that had been ruined by the barbarians, Xie Yusong said: "We are finally here."
In fact, speaking of it, Xie Yu chose this place.
Although it is farther out and more dangerous, one day the river turns and passes by. This is an absolutely good land on the grassland. Unfortunately, it is on the border of the war and cannot be developed for the time being.
But isn’t Xie Yu here?
When I came here, I especially bought a lot of wild vegetables, alfalfa, rice, corn and other seeds.
Most of the people who came to guard the border were from farmers, so when it came to planting, there was still no problem.
After some simple modifications, on the first night, Xie Yu killed a peeping coyote to satisfy everyone's greed.
Then, schedule your work for the next day.
Make tools, remove adobe, repair beacon forts on the river, and plant all the seeds you can while the season is still suitable.
Because it is close to the river, although there is no chemical fertilizer, there is still plenty of harvest.
Then, Xie Yu let the others sleep while he meditated and stood guard.
On the second day, after eating breakfast cooked by Xie Yu, everyone started to get busy according to Xie Yu's instructions.
There are falcons on duty in the sky, so Xie Yu is not afraid of enemies daring to camp.
After adding a handful of beans to the young horse's fodder, Xie Yu also went out to explore the terrain.
After all, if something really happens, it's better to run away.
Soon, Xie Yu discovered some animal ways, and Xie Yu decided to make some traps to capture some living creatures.
If there are too few, they can be used as extra food for the brothers. If there are too many, they can be raised.
Just do it, think about it, see the long grass nearby, Xie Yu decided to get the materials nearby.
First, use long withered grass to knead the fibers, and then wind them into thread to make a trap. Although due to the material, it is unlikely to capture cattle, sheep, horses, or even coyotes.
But hares or prairie rats should be fine.
It was completed in one go, more than twenty animal traps, and two were just placed on the animal track.
Suddenly, something was shaking in the grass. Xie Yu immediately drew out the thick iron sword from his waist and became alert.
After a while, there was no movement. Xie Yu couldn't help but pick up the thick iron sword and slashed horizontally.
After cutting many blades of grass, many gray figures suddenly fled among the withered grass.
Xie Yu: "Are all the rabbits on the grassland so bold?"
So, he gave up temporarily, set up a trap and walked towards the fort.
Not long after, Xie Yu came out of the fort with an iron bow and white feather arrows.
When a garrison soldier saw Xie Yu dressed up like this, he couldn't help but ask: "Commander, what are you doing?"
"Did you encounter an enemy?"
When he came, he heard other people say that this unusual experience of Captain Xie was all kinds of awesome.
Xie Yu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I found some hares. I'll hunt a few. I'll feed the brothers at night. I can also save some rations."
Guardsman: "Commander, you have a good relationship. I know you are good, captain, so I'll kill a few more. The coyote brothers yesterday didn't even feel satisfied!"
Xie Yu: "No problem, I will cook in person to reward everyone."
Guard soldier: "Then the relationship is good, and the team leader's craftsmanship is certainly beyond words."
Sometimes, a man's happiness is that simple.
The conversation somewhat diluted Xie Yu's murderous background in the past few days, making Xie Yu feel relieved.
In a good mood, Xie Yu counted the heads and counted ten hares.
Although the ingredients are insufficient, we can find wild onions, leeks, and licorice, so we can pickle them first.
Then, Xie Yu took some mud from the mud embryo garrison and built an earth furnace.
Then, ignite the dry horse manure and throw it inside, add other firewood, and burn it halfway. Hang the ten pickled hares inside one after another.
After sealing the deal, Xie Yu decided to make roasted rabbit in a hanging oven.
Then, use a knife to slowly scrape off the rabbit skin and minced meat, rub it with salt, and then use a wooden frame to hold it up like a coyote skin.
Winter on the grassland can be particularly cold, so be prepared.
At night, the sky was dark, and the life in my hands came to an end.
Xie Yu has seen it, and no one is lazy. After all, everyone has signed up for a group to survive. If Xiaohe Fort is tidied up as soon as possible, their lives can be saved.
Xie Yu, he patted open the mud seal with great satisfaction. The aroma was fragrant. Everyone had a great time eating this night...
