The northern region is covered with ice and snow, officially entering the extremely cold time.
Su Lu issued a military order. It was difficult to walk on the snow and ice day. 100000 troops ate in Rouran. There was no need to withdraw immediately and return to Xuanfu.
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team, the troops were dispersed, changed their costumes and no longer wore iron armor.
Carry out large-scale winter training to eliminate horse thieves and bandits in Rouran. In the spring of the next year, when the ice and snow melt, go back to the south.
All the herdsmen in Tule have returned, all the bandits have been swept away, and the opposition forces have completely disappeared.
Su Lu is ready to return to Beijing immediately. It's too cold in the north. He can't use his internal breathing. If he stays any longer, he is bound to be frozen to death here.
The land war immediately prepared to return to Beijing. The land war nodded: "that's right. It's not easy for anyone who has seen the prince to admit his mistake. The prince is the only one who wears the same clothes as the ball in ice and snow."
Su Lu waved his hand: "identify yourself and let him in if there is no problem. We will take control of the grassland in the future. These are our people."
Lu Zhan got up: "second son, you accompany the Lord. I'll go and screen it."
After about a cup of tea, a voice sounded at the door of the tent, and the land war led several herdsmen over.
Huzi led several bodyguards into the camp, set the table and stood on Su Lu's side.
The land war led the herdsmen into the tent.
The head herdsman's face was dark. Seeing Su Lu, he did not wait for Su Lu to speak, so he took a few steps and fell on his knees in front of Su Lu.
"The herdsman Zha rihe has seen the Lord, the Lord is Jin'an, and his life is Qi with the sky."
Sulu called zharihe up and ordered everyone to come and have a fire.
"It's too cold. Zari and you don't have to come specially. You all have parents and children. The whole family is counting on you to live. If something happens to you in the dark, I can't explain it to your family."
Zha rihe was moved with tears in his eyes: "the grass people thank the Lord for his concern. Zha rihe is used to walking around a hundred miles. Even if he closes his eyes, he can know where there are snow caves and high slopes. There will be no accident."
The herdsmen nearby also said with a smile: "we accompany zarihe. Even the blind bear dare not come out to find us trouble. The king can rest assured."
"This is the beef and mutton and horse milk wine brought by zari and them. Please have some, Lord."
The land war brought up the processed meat and wine, and several herdsmen looked at Su Lu eagerly.
Su Lu thought that the herdsmen were so hospitable that he couldn't do it without saying it. So he took two bites of beef, took up the horse milk wine and drank it.
Well, the taste is average. The beef has only salt. The taste is more average.
Eh, Zhari and several herdsmen still look at themselves as before. They don't look at themselves eating because of their hospitality.
"You haven't eaten yet. It's better to have some together."
Su Lu was polite.
Zhari nodded with several herdsmen, and his saliva almost flowed out.
"The Lord is so polite. How nice."
"We didn't send much food. How nice."
With all kinds of words, several herdsmen gathered around and ate the horse milk wine and beef and mutton in the stunned eyes of several guards of the land war tiger.
Su Lu looked at several herdsmen with an unfinished face and suddenly understood that NIMA was not giving me food. It was food that worried about me.
"Go and bring up our food in large quantities."
Su Lu ordered.
After meeting, Lu Zhan turned and went out. About half a cup of tea, he came in with a large basin of baked potatoes and sweet potatoes and put them among several people.
Zarihe took the lead, picked up a baked sweet potato, broke it into two sections, and said excitedly to his companion:
"This is roasted sweet potato, the top delicious food in South China. Try it."
With that, Zha rihe ate a mouthful of roasted sweet potato, and his face looked satisfied, as if he had eaten something unspeakable.
Other herdsmen began to eat sweet potatoes one after another, and their faces were also satisfied.
"Delicious, delicious."
When several herdsmen finished eating most of the pots of potatoes and baked sweet potatoes, Su Lu asked.
"Zarihe, do you still have enough food to eat?"
Zha rihe blushed: "I dare not hide from the Lord. We really don't have much food. If the white disaster continues for a few more days and slaughters cattle and sheep, we won't be able to live next year."
The herdsman next to him said, "at this time in previous years, Han merchants brought grain. During the war this year, those bastards of Wu Gutu killed many Han merchants again, and they didn't dare to come."
Su Lu nodded and ordered Lu Zhan to say, "write this down. When we return to Xuanfu, we will order the government to buy potatoes and sweet potatoes and transport them to the grassland."
"By the way, didn't we save yuan Zhang of Dafeng? The prophet told him to organize a chamber of Commerce to lower the price so that the people on the grassland can't have enough to eat."
Su Lu ordered so. Zhari and several herdsmen were moved one after another. They all knelt down and kowtowed to Su Lu.
"Lord, something bad happened. General Cao's urgent letter came from the West. There was a change in the Qin army in Liangzhou."
