Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 567
On the grassland, the cold wind is blowing, and the pasture is withered.Snowflakes have already fallen on the grasslands, but there is no snowstorm yet. Those grassland herdsmen who are relatively poor or have not stored enough winter supplies are taking advantage of this last period to hoard food.Whether they were hunting or trading, no matter what method they used, they had to try their best to get food for their homes. As long as it was edible, they couldn't waste it at this time.

Since Gongsun Xu drove and rounded up a lot of gazelles last time, his tribe has grown stronger. Of course, the herdsmen who came to join him are still mostly women and children, and young and middle-aged are always a minority. When adult men come to seek refuge, they will always bring their families. Under normal circumstances, an adult man will bring at least two or three children and a woman.

Although this is a very uneconomical deal, Gongsun Xu never refuses anyone who comes.In this way, the reputation of benevolence in the Gongsunxu tribe spread. Not only the herdsmen of the Antelope tribe who had no food for the winter moved to the tribe of Gongsunxu, but the herdsmen within a radius of two hundred miles also went to Gongsunxu's tribe. Migration of side camps.

Perhaps not all of them want to come to seek refuge, and some of them are not short of food.However, as winter is approaching, herdsmen must rely on collective strength to fight against nature.

At least when encountering wolves or other wild beasts, they can take care of each other.Moreover, it is not without purpose that so many herdsmen are willing to migrate here.If they go to other tribes, they have to hand over half of their property to the tribal leader. If their wife or daughter is favored by the leader, they have to give it with both hands.

But there is no such regulation in the Gongsunxu tribe. Gongsunxu only asks everyone to love each other and live in peace. If they meet really poor people, the wealthier herdsmen can donate some food.Furthermore, the herdsmen who came to seek refuge with Gongsun Xu only had to hand in part of the food, and the specific amount could be decided by themselves.

These grains will be classified as collective grain and grass, temporarily hoarded, and will not be used until the snowstorm is serious and no grain can be found, and it will be used collectively, not the property of Gongsun Xu alone.

Whoever contributed the most will be recorded by Gongsun Xu. This is a kind of credit to the tribe. After the snow disaster or when meritorious deeds are rewarded, these good deeds can be used as capital for selection.

On a hill in the vast grassland, Gongsun Xu stared at the south in a daze.Every morning he would stare south and look out.So far, no soldier from the Northern Xinjiang Army has come to find him. Either the heavy snow covered the mark he left, or the soldiers did not come here.

"I don't know what's going on in my hometown, maybe my father is very worried, but is my mother still in good health?" Gongsun Xu said to himself, "How's the war on the frontier, Zhengfang should be able to hold the Hetao, right? The road was blocked by heavy snow, so the news couldn’t get through.”

"Report,,,,,," Aaron rode his horse over and saluted Gongsun Xu: "Boss, the warriors are all ready and ready to go, this time we go out to hunt again, and finally we don't have to worry about it. The situation is gone.

According to your instructions, Ah Hu led 120 warriors to stay and guard the camp, and the remaining 150 warriors, plus 270 warriors recruited by the Antelope tribe, a total of [-] warriors are already waiting for the leader's order on their horses. "

"Are you ready?" Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "Let's go when you're ready. The snow is getting worse. The number of hunts like this may not be many. If you can't capture more than [-] yellowtails this time If it’s a sheep, I’m afraid it’s not worth it, let’s go, and try to come back within four days to rest.”

Gongsun Xu turned his horse's head and left, while Aaron looked back at the southern sky and said, "What does the leader look at every day? I don't see anyone coming from the south. Could it be that the leader's hometown is in the south? Maybe the leader is homesick, ha ha, I’m also from the south, I’m from the same town as the leader, hehehe,,,,,,”

On the grassland, 270 warriors rode on horses and stared at Gongsun Xu. If it was 20 days ago, they might only have a respectful attitude towards Gongsun Xu. After all, after Gongsun Xu led his men to settle here, he could always give Those poor families donated some food to prevent the poor from starving to death. So far, no elderly person has taken the initiative to go out to seek death.

"Are you all ready?" Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and roared, "For our family and ourselves, we must have enough food to survive the cold winter. This time, we will continue hunting and we will be back within four days. Tell me Me, are you ready? We need to get enough winter food for our family, we need to feed and clothe our children and wives, tell me, warriors, are you ready?"

"Ready, ready,,,,,," these warriors all held up their weapons or bows and arrows. Needless to say, those warriors from their own tribe, they already worshiped Gongsun Xu infinitely, even those The recruited warriors of the antelope tribe also went crazy.

Every time they go hunting, each of them can earn at least one or two gazelles, the most valiant warrior can get ten, and the others can get more if they make more contributions. Because the old guy was familiar with the terrain, he helped Gongsun with many ideas. As a result, he got 23 sheep in the two trips, which made the young and strong boys crazy with envy.

Gongsun Xu clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments for his work. He will not be alienated because he is from an outside tribe, nor will he give others less credit because he does not know each other. But anyone who really contributes to things will always be rewarded accordingly.

Gongsun Xu rode up to the old man Bai at the front of the team and said: "Old Bai, why, are you going out with me again this time? You are not young, so don't fight so hard. Pay attention to your health. The last few times The gazelle you got is enough for your whole family to survive the winter, if you continue to fight like this and hurt your health, it won’t be good.”

"Hahaha, don't worry, leader, my body is still strong." The old man said with a smile, "I'm only 47 this year, but I'm a bit anxious about growing up. If I'm 20 years younger, I will definitely follow the leader and swear allegiance to the death."

"Follow the leader and swear allegiance to the death." The 120 warriors of the tribe roared loudly after hearing this. They were very glad that they could still meet such a good leader after losing their homeland. .

"Brothers, work harder, this time we are still hunting gazelles. How much you can get depends on your own ability. Don't cry to me if you can't get one." Gongsun Xu rode his horse and roared: "I I don’t show mercy, I’m not welcome to anyone who asks me to cry.”

"Hahaha,,,,,," everyone laughed when they heard this. Gongsun Xu is always so humorous, and he can always let everyone relax when they are most nervous.

Without hesitation, Gongsun Xu immediately gave the order to set off. Hai Dongqing had already been released by Gongsun Xu. This is necessary when participating in hunting. Hai Dongqing was inquiring for Gongsun Xu. Where is there a large number of livestock within a radius of twenty miles? It's all clear.

It was the first time for Aaron and Old Man Bai to see that someone could use an eagle to help them inquire about news. In their view, Gongsun Xu was the god sent by Changshengtian to save them. Otherwise, why would Gongsun Xu be so young and capable? It is so tall that it is almost omnipotent, and now it can drive eagles to assist itself in hunting.

Not only Aaron and the others think so, but other warriors also say the same in private. This is one of the important reasons why they are willing to go hunting with Gongsun Xu. With this firm belief, these warriors will not hesitate every time Carry out Gongsun Xu's order.

A day later, Gongsun Xu had led the people away from the camp for more than 100 miles. It was not that there were no livestock near the camp, but what Gongsun Xu did was to drive the yellow sheep to his camp, and then use the old method to kill all the yellow sheep. Drive the sheep into the valley, only in this way can there be a huge harvest. If you just rely on these 270 warriors to fight with weapons, bows and arrows, you may not be able to hunt a thousand gazelles in five days. Not only will someone be injured, but more likely Will make most soldiers exhausted.

"Report,,,,,," Aaron, who was out to inquire about the news, ran back and said panting: "Boss, there are wolves ahead, the number is about [-], and they surround a hill. There seems to be something on the hill. Everything is average."

"The noses of prairie wolves are sharper than ours. Since there are wolves here, there must be a large number of yellow sheep or bison. Brothers cheer up, we have found another target." Gongsun He continued to nod and smiled and said, "Let's go, take me to see what these wolves want to do. If they want to grab food from us, we will kill them first. Warriors, do you dare to go?"

"Kill, kill, kill..." Everyone shouted wildly, as long as Gongsun Xu gave an order, they would all be willing to follow Gongsun Xu to charge, let alone two hundred wolves now, even if it was two thousand of them Also dare to rush.

Not long after, Gongsun Xu and the others rode their horses to a hill. Outside a hill about [-] paces away, there was indeed a group of wolves surrounding it. Because the distance was too far, Gongsun Xu and the others also saw I don't know what is on the hill, but whenever a wolf goes up, there will always be prairie wolves screaming on the hill.

"Old Bai, you have a lot of knowledge, do you know what's going on?" Gongsun Xu looked at the old man beside him and asked, "Is that the wolf king on the hill, or are these prairie wolves competing here?" , I want to compete for the position of wolf king."

"It doesn't look like it." Lao Bai shook his head and said, "Maybe the guy on the hill is the natural enemy of the wolves or something, but if it can make two hundred wolves afraid to go forward, I'm afraid not even a lion will do it." It's a fierce tiger, or if we go up and have a look, maybe we can get some bargains."
