Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 552 Hidden Prairie 2
After arriving in the woods, Gongsun Xu and the others quickly found their prey. A group of about fifty gazelles were grazing on the grass. If Gongsun Xu had encountered these gazelles before, he might have bent his bow and shot one of them, but now , what Gongsun Xu wanted was to take all these gazelles down.

"You three come here." Gongsun Xu said to the three teenagers: "Do you still remember the location of the trap in the woods? The three of you first detoured to other directions, and then charged at the same time, making sure to drive the flock to the woods." .

Remember, there is no need to rush into the flock, and don't waste arrows. Your archery skills are not up to standard. Just shout loudly. The flock will panic when they are disturbed. We just need to drive the flock into the trap. . "

"Understood, leader." The three teenagers nodded and said, "We'll do it now."

After finishing speaking, the three teenagers rode their horses and quietly lurked behind the flock of sheep. When the time was right, Gongsun Xu immediately ordered to charge at the same time.

Three teenagers appeared from three directions at the same time. They danced and yelled loudly. The sheep were not startled at first, but Gongsun Xu immediately rode his horse to charge and shot the head sheep with his bow at the same time.

After losing the leader, the flock lost its footing, and they were all driven towards the woods. Soon, there were screams in the woods, and it seemed that many gazelles had fallen into the trap.

Half an hour later, Gongsun Xu said to the youngest boy, "A Quan, hurry up and find someone to help clean up the prey. This time we hunted 37 gazelles, and 23 were alive. That's a lot." We can't take back the prey.

Big Niu, Xiao Ma and I are waiting here first. It’s getting dark, and this place is only five miles away from the camp. If we hurry up, we can transport all the prey back before dark. If it’s too late If it is not, I am afraid that there will be beasts infesting, and it will be difficult to handle at that time. "

"Don't worry, leader, I'll go back now." After finishing speaking, the boy named A Quan rode away. Although he was only 12 years old, his riding skills were really good, and he couldn't even ride on this bare horse. drop down.

"Boss, you are really good." Daniel looked at Gongsun Xu with admiration and said, "We managed to catch so many yellow sheep with almost no effort. In the past, when my father and the others were hunting, they would even dispatch them. It is impossible to catch so many warriors with more than 50."

"Hehehe, there is no way. Although your riding skills are good, your archery skills are too poor." Gongsun Xu shook his head and smiled, "And you don't have a suitable horn bow now, and arrows are so precious that they cannot be wasted.

These days you have to practice riding and archery well, and it will definitely play a big role at that time. Before it snows, we can catch more live prey, so that we can feed them. When we can’t hunt wild animals in winter, We can also eat some fresh roast meat. "

"Long live the leader, long live the leader,,,,,,," the two teenagers cheered when they heard that they could eat barbecue in winter. They have lived on the grassland for so many years, and they have an inexplicable fear of the cold winter in their memories.

Every time winter comes, people will die in the tribe, or many elderly people will disappear for no reason.In some years, their tribe even suffered from wolf disasters. The sheep in the tribe were attacked, and many warriors were killed by wild wolves.

Not to mention whether they can have enough food in winter, if they can survive the cold winter, they will all be glad that they have lived again.

In the evening, in the camp, everyone gathered around the bonfire to barbecue. Although there was no good food and wine, the joy in everyone's hearts was fully expressed. These women and children did not have high demands. They had already lost their relatives and the pillars of their families. Now, they I just hope to follow Gongsun Xu to survive this cold winter and the most difficult time.

"Husband, I don't know why I am very happy seeing their cheering expressions." Zhen Dao lay in Gongsun Xu's arms and said softly: "I used to think that barbarians in the grassland were scary, but when I saw these old and weak women and children When I was inexplicably soft-hearted.

They are so pitiful. The tribe was attacked and their relatives were killed. Although they survived by luck, they had nothing to eat or wear.Husband, let's not fight in the future, okay? We can coexist peacefully with the barbarians in the grasslands. "

"Don't worry, this day won't be too far away." Gongsun Xu stared at the fire and said, "After I took down the Hetao, I didn't cut off the livelihood of the grassland nomadic tribes, on the contrary, what I want to bring to them is survival and hope.

I hate that some people have to drive these herdsmen to the interior of northern Xinjiang for their own selfishness and ambition, coaxing them to plunder, fight, and work for them. Humph, this time, the Huns and Xianbei did it again , I will never let them go. "

"Boss, boss, we've already counted." Daniel ran over and shouted: "Just now my grandfather treated those injured gazelles, according to the method you taught, nothing will happen to my gazelles now .

We now have 32 live yellow sheep, six cows, five horses, and two deer. My grandfather said that there must be lonely cows and war horses around here. Tomorrow, I will talk to Xiao Ma and A Quan. Find it so we can have more livestock. "

"Hehe, you kid, you're so happy to hear that there are so many things." Gongsun Xu shook his head and smiled, "We'll go to the trap first after dawn tomorrow, and we'll move out of camp after breakfast.

Look along the road to see if there are any single cattle, sheep or war horses. The daily marching speed cannot be dropped. Your previous tribe is not too far away from here, so the enemies who attack your tribe are very likely to appear again. We It may be safe now, but if the enemy finds our location, everyone will be in danger.

These days you all can't relax, you must send someone to watch at night, change shifts every two hours, at least two people should be on duty each time, don't doze off at night, you are all warriors now, understand?The life and death of everyone in the tribe rests on your shoulders. "

"Daniu understands, leader, don't worry." Daniel said with a smile: "I promise not to doze off again."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. This guy, Da Niu, can eat and sleep. He dozed off when he was on duty last night, but was caught by Gongsun Xu. After a hungry meal, this guy promised not to doze off again. Dozed off, it seems that between eating and sleeping, he chose to eat.

More than 700 miles away, in a large camp, Zhang Fei was sorting out the information sent by the scouts. Up to now, he has not found the whereabouts of Gongsun Xu, but he has inquired about the whereabouts of the Huben Army.

"This place is still within the scope of northern Xinjiang. There is no news of the Lord here, which means that the Lord is far away." Zhang Fei dropped the information and said: "It seems that I need to go deep into the grassland to find it, otherwise How can I find the whereabouts of the lord?"

"But, my lord, our army is only 5000 people, and most of their whereabouts have been exposed." One of Youyun's Eighteen Riders cupped his hands and said, "If our army stays on the grassland for too long, it may not be a good thing.

Now that we have the whereabouts of the Huben Army, why not follow these clues to find out. If there is the whereabouts of the Huben Army, there must be the whereabouts of the general. Why should the lord look far away? "

"No, it's not looking far away." Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "The Huben army is brave and fierce. Even if there are only 1000 people, they can kill back to the northern border. Now they are still living in the grassland and there is no sign of going back. That can only show that they The lord was not found there either.

If the Huben army is going west, then we will go north. My lord will definitely not go to the east. Now we have to go deep into the northern grassland to see. Time is running out, and there must be no further delay. The Xianbei cavalry has already besieged Yanmen Pass, and the Xiongnu cavalry probably will not idle.

Five days, within five days we must inquire about the news of the lord, otherwise we will be in danger of being besieged.My lord, where are you? With your ingenuity, you will definitely leave a mark, and you will be found in the end. "

Two days later, Gongsun Xu's side continued to migrate north. In these two days, they encountered many women and children who had lost their homes. Now, Gongsun Xu's tribe has grown to more than 100 people.

But most of them are women and children. Now there are only six middle-aged men in the tribe, and two of them are seriously injured and unable to go to the field. Except for Gongsun Xu, the other three are also slightly injured.

Without exception, these people were attacked by the tribe. Others in the tribe were either killed or captured. They escaped by luck.Although Gongsun Xu still doesn't know who attacked these tribes, he understands that the grasslands are dangerous, and this mysterious tribe that attacks other nomadic tribes everywhere is definitely a very dangerous existence.

In addition to the increase in the number of people, Gongsun Xu has also gained a lot in the past two days. After those tribes were attacked, many cattle, sheep and war horses were indeed lost by running around. There are 23 oxen, twelve horses and three sheep.

It seemed that this mysterious tribe was in a hurry to march and did not clean the battlefield carefully. Gongsun Xu felt that as long as he was careful, he could definitely avoid them.

In any case, Gongsun Xu has concealed his identity now. Except for Zhen Dao in the tribe, the rest respectfully call Gongsun Xu the leader. In addition, all of them survived almost because of Gongsun Xu. , so everyone is absolutely loyal to Gongsun Xu.

Especially those children, they are already at the age of worshiping heroes. In the past, they worshiped their father and the warriors in the tribe, but now, for them, there is only one real hero, and that is their leader.

Their leader is not only kind and brave, but also wise and wise.No matter how difficult things were, their leaders could not stop them. Moreover, their leaders were knowledgeable and talented. These days, Gongsun Xu made some simple crossbows with local materials.

In this way, all the people in the tribe were armed. When they were hunting, Gongsun Xu taught them how to make traps. When they were free, Gongsun Xu taught them how to read characters, martial arts, and how to identify herbs and how to heal wounds.For the people in the tribe, Gongsun Xu is a god, an omnipotent god.
