Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 821;

Chapter 770 seven;
"Where's the imperial army? How's the fight with Jieli Khan?"

Sitting in his room, Li Yu continued to ask about the situation on the grassland, wanting to see how it was different from the history recorded by later generations.

The Great Elder responded to Li Yu's inquiry in an unhurried manner;
"Returning to Commander, because Ashinasheer's tribe can't escape, Xue Yantuo is busy expanding his territory, and the nine surnames of Tiele are also following suit, so only Jieli Khan is left with his tribe to fight against the Han court. Now The court has gained the upper hand."

Li Yu's nose twitched a few times, a little indifferently;
"Oh, it's already February, why is he gaining the upper hand? You're so stupid, everyone says that Er Li's ability is unrivaled in the world, I can't see it that way!"

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, the third elder below came to laugh and make fun of him;

"The commander-in-chief doesn't know that Jieli's tribe is not a vegetarian, and he manages nearly a million tribesmen. Even if Xue Yantuo, Tiele, Ashina and other ministries don't obey the Khan's order, his own tribes can also be transferred. Sending out enough warriors to fight against the imperial court is nothing more than lacking the confidence before, he was used to having a large number of people before."

The voice of the third elder fell to the ground, and the fifth elder who had been friends with him immediately took up the quarrel;

"Yes, Commander, the third elder is right. Jieli Khan is not easy to deal with with a few words. Then Li Jing came from Han Qinhu, a famous general in the former dynasty.

His uncle, Han Qinhu, was a famous general who never came out of the world. Even the elders of the Lin family of the Second House Guard said that he was extremely powerful and that he was rarely rivaled.

Then Li Jing got his uncle to teach him carefully, so of course she won't know what to do, but this Xieli Khan is not easy to mess with, so the two sides got mixed up, and they have been arguing for several months.

The minister felt that if the other tribes on the grassland did not listen to his orders, the Han court repeatedly used divisive tactics.
It is almost impossible for Er Li to bring the 10,000+ soldiers into the depths of the prairie to kill Xieli. "

Li Yu nodded;

"That's right, I thought the same way. The territory of the prairie is no smaller than that of the Han court. Although the population is not as large as the Han people, it is not a minority. If it is easy to clean up with a few words, why bother for thousands of years?

How many dynasties have been in trouble, and there is no permanent solution!

This time is indeed a rare opportunity, otherwise Er Li brought those 10,000+ people in. Without the exquisite armor and strong bows and crossbows we built, it would be a dream to kill Xieli, and it is unknown how much he can go back alive. ! "

"Yes!"

"See you, Commander."

"After all, the sharp weapons we built have enriched the imperial court with many factors of victory."

"That's natural."

"Okay, no matter how they fight, let's start tomorrow to do our serious business. An'an will catch the sheep, and I'm afraid we will be able to eat sheep cakes when we rush back."

"Yes."

Li Yu yawned and stood up;

"All the generals, go back and prepare everything, and the hunt will officially start tomorrow."

"only!"

Li Yu, who hated meetings the most, was so tired after half a day's work that he sent away a group of senior managers. He lay down and fell asleep without eating, and slept until the next morning.

After getting up and dressing up, I asked Xichun next to me;

"Tajiguli hasn't come back yet?"

"If you go back to Mr. Lang, you won't be able to come back for the time being. He said that he needs to conduct a complete inspection of the tribe and care about some poor herdsmen. I heard from Khan yesterday that it will take another month to complete."

"Oh, yes, the Hulunbuir Prairie is such a large area, and the tribes don't live close together. The inspection work is a bit heavy."

The people around Li Yu have long been used to the terms that my husband pops up from time to time, and they are no strangers to them.

Xichun instructed the maid to serve Li Yu's meal, while coping casually;

"Yes, sir, it's really hard work for the princess to carry the heavy burden alone."

"That can't be helped. His father died early, and his younger brother is still so young, so he can only rely on her to support him. Fortunately, she is smart and smart. As long as she listens to my arrangements, they will return to the tribe in less than 30 years." It will become stronger, and you will no longer have to worry about being bullied by other tribes, and you will no longer need to seek protection from the nine surnames of Tiele."

"The servants are surprised. In other tribes, everyone is vying to be the khan. In this Huihe tribe, it's really strange. The old khan is dead, and no one is fighting for it. They all respect the princess and the little khan. What a tribe of friendship, sir."

Li Yu, who had just swallowed a mouthful of rice, leaned back and forth with a smile;
"You don't understand that. Those who are vying to be a khan are all people with the blood of the khan. For example, the old man is the son of the former khan, and the little Tuli khan is also the son of the former khan. Bloodline, how can someone without Khan's bloodline be a great leader on the grassland? It's best not to even think about it.

This Huihe tribe had just been separated from the nine surnames of Tie Le for less than a hundred years, and it has only experienced three generations. The blood of the leader is weak, and now only Tajiguli and his younger brother are left, so no one is fighting for it.

To be honest, if they don't loyally protect their little khan, they will be inferior people after the tribe is wiped out, they will be slaves, so they have only one way to go, and that is to protect their own khan desperately!
Wait until Tajiguli's younger brother has seven or eight sons, and then you just wait and see, the competition for the next generation of Khans is also cruel and scary, and it is guaranteed to be the same as other tribes. "

Xichun suddenly realized and nodded;

"Oh, is that so?"

"Of course it is. This is the same as the five surnames and seven Wang clans in the good man's court. They are all patriarchs. It's nothing more than the patriarch on our side and the Khan here. They are all big leaders. It's nothing. difference."

"That's right, sir, you should eat more, I don't know where to eat the lunch at noon, so try to eat as much as possible for this breakfast, so that you can carry it for a while."

"Yeah, don't worry about me, you can go eat too, eat for a while before you can go on your way."

"The servants have already eaten, before the Lord is awake, the servants have already eaten."

"Oh, that's good. Are you full?"

Hearing his husband's concern for Xichun, he was very happy, but he was still a little shy, and responded with his head down;
"I'm full."

"Oh."

Li Yu, who was not in a hurry, ate and drank, sat and watched the servants pack their things, and finally set off on the road. During the 20 days when Li Yu was recovering from his injuries, the Great Elder had already sent people out to find out what Li Yu had said. A habitat for wild animals.

Early this morning, the front army, the left, the middle, and the right armies had already set off on the road after eating, and the rear army stayed in the Huihe tribe and stood by at any time.

The [-] troops in charge of protecting Li Yu waited for the sun to rise before surrounding Li Yu, dragging along the small river on the grassland.

For the wild animals in the Hulunbuir Prairie, Li Yu has no specific concept, and he has never been to these places in his previous life. He only saw a few general introductions on TV, and he has forgotten all about them. Li Yu remembered it clearly.

For Li Yu, hunting is all about looking fresh and exciting, and he doesn't need to ride a horse to herd sheep, nor does he need to hold a big net to intercept the flock of sheep, he just rides on the horse to watch the scenery.

Three fast horses came galloping in the distance.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the former army has surrounded a large group of yellow sheep, among which there are moose and reindeer. Do you want to watch the battle, Commander-in-Chief?"

"Oh? Did you find the yellow sheep so quickly?"

"Returning to the commander, the deputy commander arranged people who are familiar with the habits of wild gazelle. They are all skilled hunters. They have been moving with the gazelle flock. There are messengers reporting back and forth every day, so it is not difficult to find those flocks. .”

"Oh, that's it, go forward and see how the clansmen catch the sheep?"

"Yes, Mr. Lang, you came here with the minister. The deputy commander said that you can go to the small hill ahead to see the panoramic view."

"Okay. Drive! Drive!"

As soon as Li Yu moved, hundreds of personal guards around him moved together, and followed Li Yu up a small hill.

Li Yu, who got off his horse, stood on the small mound and took out the third-generation binoculars in his arms to see the distant scene clearly.

What the messenger said surrounded the flock of yellow sheep was quite different from what Li Yu saw.

An unknown number of wild yellow sheep were on their way, and Li Yu couldn't see any signs of it, so he could only turn around and ask the messenger next to him;
"Didn't you say it was surrounded? Why can't we see our people?"

"Return to Commander, our clansmen are surrounded from a distance, these wild gazelles are very clever, and they can't get close to what they can see.

Therefore, we can only drive and encircle from a distance. The deputy commander has mobilized more than 6 tribesmen to drive them away. Commander, don't look at it now. When our tribes slowly close together, the encirclement will become smaller and smaller until the end. There are two or three villages left, and they won't be able to escape by then. "

"Oh, so that's the case. Fortunately, there are enough people in our clan, otherwise, wouldn't it be impossible to catch sheep?"

Li Yu continued to check the flock of sheep in the binoculars while nodding, some ate while walking, some stopped and walked, and some looked around.

Several messengers scrambled to explain to the patriarch how to hunt.

"It's not the commander in chief. In the past, our clan also came to catch wild yellow sheep. There were tens of thousands of people, and there were hundreds of people. If there are fewer people, we can use the forage that yellow sheep like to eat all the way to seduce them, or make traps to catch them." Chase them to the vicinity of the trap, but the number is too small to catch a few, and the more people there are, the more they will be caught."

"Oh, the Great Elder mobilized tens of thousands of tribesmen this time, which is really majestic. The flocks of sheep seem to be quite a lot."

"Yes, Commander, these are six sheep flocks, not one, and there are tens of thousands of sheep together. The tribesmen who have been following say that there are more than a dozen reindeer herds in the encirclement, so they dare not easily disturb them. In the early morning, everyone followed the order of the deputy commander and ran a hundred miles away to start the siege, and now the encirclement should be as big as several Chang'an cities."

"My God! This huge circle is enclosed? How long will it take to catch the sheep?"

"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief said so that the sheep would not feel the danger, and then they had to close the encirclement to make sure there were no gaps in the circle to escape before they could start hunting."

The other messenger saw that this didn't answer the patriarch's question clearly, so he quickly answered;
"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the Great Elder said, make the encirclement well today, check it carefully, start to gather it up tomorrow, and shrink it to a certain extent in two days, and catch the sheep on the third day."

Li Yu nodded, and continued to ask;

"A layer of encirclement is probably not enough?"

"Yes, Commander, the Great Elder has set up a three-layer encirclement, just to prevent any sheep from breaking through the encirclement."

"Third floor? It's amazing. It's really amazing. It seems that there are many benefits to having enough staff."

"That's right, Commander, the Great Elder said the same thing. The elders all said that this is the first time that they have led so many clansmen, and that this is the first time that they have had such a hearty hunt."

After Li Yu lamented the importance of the human head, he asked another question;
"The final hunting location is chosen here?"

"Yes, Commander, the left and right are only a dozen miles away. The hunters who followed said that these sheep came to this place only yesterday. According to their inference, the water and grass here are rich enough for these sheep to eat. There is no need to change places for ten or eight days.”

Li Yu nodded;

"So, as long as there is no chaos in the flock, they will stay in this radius of more than ten miles to eat in the past few days?"

"Yes, Commander, that's what it looks like, but the encirclement has already been formed, and even if these sheep find out, they won't be able to escape all of them."

"That's right, it's too late to find out, even if you run, you can catch more than half of them. By the way, you go back and tell the elders that you can't kill them all. Get some old sheep to go back and slaughter them, and then catch some mature rams." The ewes go back to breed, you can't kill every flock you come across!"

"It's handsome."

"And those reindeer, and the moose herd is arranged in the same way, don't forget."

"only!"

The messenger who received the order left the slope, Li Yu turned his head and ordered Liang Bold behind him;
"Set up camp here, just in time to observe their hunting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"It's handsome."

"Don't come any closer, or you'll startle the flock."

"I know, Commander, be careful, you can't walk forward, use this mound as the boundary."

"only!"

After Li Yu finished explaining, he looked at the herd of reindeer in the binoculars happily, and was still muttering to check the number;

"One, two, three... 85, 86, um, not bad, I think there are more than 100 deer in that herd alone."

Li Yu, who was finally tired after watching for a long time, finally put down the binoculars, and the clansmen behind him had already set up their tents.

Li Yu, who was resting in the tent, was still sighing;

"Many people are really powerful. If you expect ten or eight people to hunt wild gazelle, you won't get anything."

Xichun next to him nodded and took out a pot of freshly warmed goat milk and brought it up;

"Yes, I heard that there are hundreds of clansmen who go out to drive the sheep. If there are fewer people, nothing can be done."

"That is. That's why I have the foresight to arrange so many people to come to the prairie, hahahahahahahahaha!"
