Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 32 32. The Uncooked Wolf Cub

in small tribes.

The corpses on the ground had already been packed up and buried. In such weather, the corpses would soon stiffen and freeze, and they would be thrown out at that time.

In the leader's yurt, the man who had talked to Zhang Qi before was sorting out the exchanged food here.

Nearly a hundred catties of grain, plus the output of cattle and sheep, saving a little food can almost last them, a tribe of only about forty people, until the beginning of spring.

Oh, there are only more than 20 of them now, Zhang Qi got rid of the six of them, plus the replacement of a dozen or so, the pressure in the tribe is already very small.

With a bang, someone slammed down the wooden box in the yurt.

The stubble-faced man glared at the man and said harshly: "Amutu! You are too cowardly. If you had cooperated with me to rob them before, our tribe would not only be able to live well until the beginning of spring, but also go out to trade population and replenish the tribe. strength!"

"You really don't deserve to be this leader!"

The bearded man stared at Amutu, his face was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Amutu smiled and waved at the bearded man: "Come here, I'll tell you why you can't do it."

Hu Channan heard the words and leaned over, just about to ask, a dagger pierced his chest.

"Because that nobleman said that a tribe can only have one voice. I really don't understand why you dare to come to see me alone after all your people are dead!"

"you"

The bearded man vomited blood and fell to the ground unwillingly.

"Idiot, I can't see the situation clearly, and I don't know how powerful the heavy armored cavalry is. I only know how to whine all day long. If your people were not useful before, I would have wanted to kill you a long time ago!"

Amutu wiped the dagger clean on the bearded man, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

"I don't know if I will have the opportunity to go to Han with that nobleman in the future. If I can get a piece of equipment from the cavalryman next to him, it will be worth it in this life."

The yurt was re-tied on the snow field, and the yurt surrounded by layers of leather gave people the first feeling of warmth.

The nine children had already been accommodated in the yurt, and Bo was getting food for them at this time.

On the other side, Zhang Qi and Ying were feeding the horses, Hui came over with the craftsman slave and the man slave, and whispered something to Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi nodded, indicating that he understood, and then waved, and the two slaves knelt down in front of Zhang Qi.

"Are you all Han Chinese?"

The two slaves kneeling on the ground kept nodding: "Yes, sir, we are all Han Chinese, the little old man knows some handicrafts, and his family is a groom who has raised horses for generations."

Among the two slaves, the middle-aged man who was obviously much older was talking to Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi didn't look back, and continued to feed the horse. The horse's tongue wetly licked the oatmeal in his hand, making Zhang Qi itchy.

"How long have you been plundered by the Huns? Where do you live?"

"Returning to Mr. Lang, the little old man is from Daijun, and his family may be gone now. When the Huns invaded the border that day, there were only a dozen people in the little old man's village alive. The vast grassland, the little old man also There is no wishful thinking that they will be found."

"As for him, the little old man only knows that he is from Shangjun, and the other little old men don't know."

Zhang Qi hummed, turned around, patted the bran on his hand, looked at the man who didn't speak much, and asked, "Are you dumb?"

Manu's eyes clearly showed fear, and he shook his head tremblingly: "Little, I don't know what to say, please forgive me, sir."

Zhang Qi nodded slightly, looked at Ma Nu and continued to ask: "Shangjun. If I remember correctly, the horse garden ordered by Emperor Wen to be built is in Shangjun."

"Tell me, Mado from Shangjun?"

"A lot, the decree given by the two Majesties to horse breeders is very preferential. Not only can raising horses reduce taxes, but they can also be exempted from corvee labor. Therefore, there are mostly horse farms in Shangjun, with [-] to [-] large and small.

As for how many small horses there are now, I don’t know. Before I was plundered to the grassland, there were more than 20 horses in Shangjun. "

Zhang Qi nodded. There are more than 20 horses. It seems that the time has passed when Emperor Wu first came to the throne. The number of horses is an obvious cause of events. What Emperor Wu is waiting for is enough horses to train the new army to deal with the Xiongnu. , that's why Zhang Qi asked this question.

"By the way, what are your names?"

When the middle-aged man heard Zhang Qi's question, he was still asking for his name, and he felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart. Slave masters don't care about their names, and they only ask for their names when they are talking to people.

"The little old man's surname is Lu, and the word for it is wood."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Manu followed suit and said, "The youngest is Ma San, the third eldest in the family."

Zhang Qi pondered for a while and asked them to stand up.

"Well, I see, you two will follow me from now on, Ma San will continue to be responsible for raising horses, Lu Mu, you will tell me later what kind of crafts you know, so I can arrange for you, do it well, and you won't be hungry Yours."

"Yes! Thank you sir for saving me. From now on, the little old man will definitely die for you."

"Small ones too!"

Zhang Qigang asked them to stand up, but as soon as they finished speaking, the two of them knelt down again. It wasn't that their knees were weak, but that these years of slavery had drained the last bit of their strength.

"Okay, let's all go down, Ma San, you come to teach eagles to raise horses, Lu Mu, Hui, you come with me."

After clapping his hands, Zhang Qi walked towards the yurt. Ma San stayed where he was, complimenting Ying on the side and began to take care of the horses, while Hui and the middle-aged man Lu Mu followed behind him.

Walking all the way to the yurt, he smelled a strong aroma before he entered. Lu Mu followed behind Zhang Qi and swallowed desperately. He hadn't eaten human food for several years.

Walking into the yurt, the exchanged children were devouring food with their hands in their hands. Because they were exchanged in the tribe, the ratio of male to female was about the same. There were five boys and four girls among the nine.

When Zhang Qi entered the yurt, Uncle saw that he was about to call the children to salute but was stopped by Zhang Qi.

After these children finished eating, Zhang Qi said: "Your parents handed you over to me, and you will be my property from now on. I will let you eat, clothe, and stop starving, and you need to listen to me. Yes, understand?"

All the children nodded and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Zhang Qi.

Taking advantage of the trend, Zhang Qi planted spiritual points for these children, and then sent them into the world of riding and hacking.

Of the nine children, eight were sent in, looking at the only boy left in the yurt, Zhang Qi showed a ferocious smile on his face.

"He's really an unfamiliar wolf cub!"
