I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 243 Cattle and Sheep

Shen Xiaoye wanted to rescue him, but she was not familiar with the environment. "No, I have to go find my uncle."

"There will be people in the army to rescue you. It's too late for you to look for your uncle now. Don't forget that water is flowing." Xuan Miao came out with a sword in his arms, not allowing her to leave the rescue team.

Shen Xiaoye pulled the reins and the horse pawed its way to a stop. "Uncle must be not far from here."

"That won't work either. After capturing the Northern Tartar Grand Tutor, His Majesty will certainly be guarding him more strictly. If you approach without the command talisman, do you believe you will be shot through by archers?" Xuanmiao was very calm. He was entrusted by his two uncles to be responsible for her safety.

"You're not going to choose calves? In my opinion, it's more important to select calves that have the potential to be domesticated as soon as possible.

As for Mr. Lu falling into the water, if he can swim, it is unlikely that he will be in any danger.

Your uncle received the news earlier than us, so he must have gone to look for her. If you go, you will probably find nothing."

"You're right." This is not Linghe County, and Shen Xiaoye knows that even if he has money, he can't afford to hire anyone to help find someone.

What's more, the defeated soldiers are now scattered, and the Dada tribe leads their troops to surrender from time to time. If she goes out alone, she may encounter those who really surrender or those who pretend to surrender.

The strong women of the Mori tribe whom she was familiar with were still in the Barhu camp in the rear, and Xuanmiao and others around her did not obey her orders.

She slid off the horse and was a little absent-minded when she picked up the calf.

Lu Guan, who fell into the water, was washed away for a long distance. Fortunately, he grabbed a broken log in the river and saved his life.

While there was no one around, he took off his clothes and hung them out to dry, and took a bath in the river before leaving.

As he went up the river, he met several disciples of Taixu Temple. He asked curiously, "Master, have you traveled so far north?"

Senior Sister Xuan Yue said helplessly: "We entered the ancient tomb by mistake and got lost after coming out."

Getting lost is very common in Mobei. For example, if the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the emperor leading and directing them as if they were entering the grasslands as if they were entering the back garden, who knows how many of them would have gone astray after crossing Hulun Lake.

"Ancient tomb! Is there gold?" Lu Guan immediately became interested.

The male disciple next to him said angrily: "Ghost's gold, we haven't even seen the main tomb chamber, no one has been in there for too long, and there are many people buried with the dead, and we might get sick if we're not careful.

Don't set your sights on the ancient tombs, or you may end up losing more than you gain."

When Lu Guan heard this, he knew that they must have dug up something, but the return was not high.

He didn't say anything more about it, but instead picked up some firewood with everyone to boil some hot water to drink, because Senior Sister Xuan Yue was already looking for herbs nearby.

The group of people lost their horses and walked up the river. When they met the fleeing Dada people, they saw that the old people were pulling the young ones and they didn't have much belongings. Xuan Yue was determined not to let anyone steal the horses.

Fortunately, a team led by Shen Changsui found them, so Lu Guan didn't have to measure the Ergun River Valley on foot.

On the way back, Shen Changsui approached him alone and said, "Guardian Xia said that you knocked Alu off his horse and he fell into the river when he counterattacked.

This great achievement was missed in a flash.

But why do I think it's suspicious? The water here is not flowing fast, and I was washed away by the water. "

"Hey, it just so happened that my leg cramped. Luckily Dadaqiong didn't give me armor, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me." Lu Guan also felt regretful: "However, even if I didn't fall into the water, the credit should go to everyone.

You may not know that there is another person hiding beside Aru, and it is because of him that we did not lose him."

But he immediately rode his horse closer to him and said, "I found some good things by the river while I was bathing."

He showed it to Shen Changsui behind his back, and the latter blinked: "Yuan Yu, there is a jade mine here?

Or was it abandoned by the fleeing Dada people?"

"I don't know. I found several pieces there, but this piece of topaz is quite pure. It can be used as a seal stone or a jade ornament." Lu Guan put it away and said, "Do you think if I give it to the emperor, will he give me an official title?

I don’t need a real job, as long as I can fool people and get free food and drinks, that’s fine.”

"You won't join the army to fight in the future?" Shen Changsui listened to his insincere nonsense and thought: It will take a long time for Dada to restore their morale after capturing the Tai Shi, the backbone of the Northern Tartars.

Next, Waqi in the west will surely take advantage of the situation. We can’t let Dada become too weak!

It seems that there is hope for opening a border market. Xiaoye’s cloth business can take advantage of this opportunity in the future!

……

A few days later, Shen Xiaoye picked out a large number of calves and was discussing with Master Lin how to drive them back to Da Zhou alive as much as possible when he heard the little black cat announce the good news: "Lu Guan is alive and has returned with Shen Changsui."

She couldn't help but jump for joy, while Master Lin remained puzzled and silent.

Shen Xiaoye knew she had lost her composure, but she couldn't say that she had heard the cat's report, so she just said, "Your method of using rations to hire the Dada people who have surrendered to you to drive the cattle and sheep is much easier than using a special vehicle to transport them.

Well, I will go tell the old military doctor the good news first, so that he can be happy."

But she changed direction halfway through her journey, and under the guidance of the little black cat, she finally found her uncle and Lu Guan.

Just live!

When the last battle of the Mobei extermination campaign was over, how many soldiers could never return home, and how many soldiers had not had a good meal because of days of pursuit.

Besides, Dada was very poor except for horses, cattle and sheep. The emperor's way of rewarding the soldiers was to cook the fat sheep and share the food with those who had won the battle.

The government troops ate as they marched south, and the well-fed troops also killed a group of Dada people who wanted to intercept the spoils and supplies on the way.

The emperor spared no prisoners and beheaded them all.

This was the first time Shen Xiaoye saw the emperor order the killing of those who surrendered. She was a little puzzled as to why all those who had come to surrender were dismissed without being killed.

Lu Guan gave her some basic knowledge: "This group of people are not from the Dada headquarters, nor from the Yongxie Ten Tribes, but from the three Wengniute guards adjacent to Liaodong."

Shen Xiaoye said: "The two Taoist priests mentioned that the Dada tribe is indecisive."

"Well, their grazing land was allocated by Taizu. The emperor thought they had done nothing for the Great Zhou, and he often flirted with Grand Tutor Alu until they got married.

This time I hid in the middle of the road, hoping to see both Dada headquarters and our side suffer losses, so that I can benefit." Lu Guan reminded her: "Don't pay attention to the Sanwei people when doing business in the future.

Whose family is that? Yes, it’s Master Wu Qi’s family. The reason why the emperor dislikes them is because of their unclear relationship with them.

The family of Lord Zhongqin was stripped of their titles and was to be exiled."

"If that's the case, then just don't open a market in Jizhen." Shen Xiaoye would not go against the trend. Even if he didn't open a market, he would try not to sell his own cloth to the wealthy families in Jizhen.

But the calves she chose this time could be sold in Jizhou, depending on whether the emperor would choose Kaiping or Daning on his way back south.

In the end, Da Ning was chosen, and as soon as he arrived at the place, the emperor issued another decree: all captured cattle and sheep should be slaughtered and distributed to the soldiers.

Shen Xiaoye immediately spoke to his uncle and asked him to persuade them not to eat all the cattle and sheep.
