Chapter 781: Unblocked
He is also constantly recruiting troops, that is, recruiting from more than a dozen tribes that Chu State has already controlled.
Several of the more than ten tribes were not small in size, which made Chu State increase a large number of cavalry.
With more troops, the controllable area becomes more, so the army began to move forward. Of course, the amount of advancement was carefully calculated by the wise king.
In addition to finding a place with lush water and grass to settle down, these tribes who came to defect, in addition to paying taxes normally, each household would also take the initiative to hand in five cows or sheep as a token of honor.
For these Chu countries, they naturally received all the orders, firstly to reassure these herdsmen, and secondly to increase food.
Although the last time after copying the new royal court where the Yan Department had not yet moved over, there was plenty of food, but who would dislike having a lot of food?
Therefore, on the side of Chu State, all comers are welcome, and the tribes who come to defect are welcome, and those who voluntarily hand in their names are more welcome!
For these herdsmen, the virtuous king also began to order officials to register and make books, and to establish household registration for the nomads who surrendered now in the same way as the Han Dynasty established household registration for the surrendered nomads.
Household registration is essential for accurate tax collection.
Seeing more and more qualified cavalrymen, King Xian felt uncontrollable joy in his heart. He once again saw the hope of ruling the grassland. At this rate, even if the power of firearms will be greatly reduced in two months, then Chu State will also have enough cavalry to confront the grassland army head-on.
There are not only cavalry but also double insurance of the army formation.
At present, half of the main force on the grassland is controlled by the state of Zhou, and they only need to deal with half of the troops of the state of Chu.
It's hard not to seal the wolf's residence!
Thinking of this, King Xian's heart suddenly surged with arrogance.
The highest honor of a military commander is also his dream since he was a child. Is it the attention of this generation?
He stood up and walked out of the tent, planning to inspect the barracks.
Just when King Xian walked out of the tent, he seemed to think of something, and called Xue Zhi, his guard was also the commander of the five guards, Xue Zhi asked, "Where is the princess?"
Xue Zhi cupped fist and said: "Reporting to the lord, the princess is on the observation deck west of the camp to observe whether there is any enemy movement in the west with binoculars."
When King Xian heard Xue Zhi's words, his arrogance just disappeared without a trace, and he became worried.
My own daughter, ever since that kid Xu Qing left with Xiao Ye, she seems to have lost her soul. She goes to the west of the camp to look at the telescope without eating a few bites during the day, and she can watch it at night even if she doesn’t sleep. You can see it at night? Clear what?
Now that Xu Qing is gone, Xueer can't eat well or sleep well...
Not only did he become haggard, the dark circles on his face appeared, but it made King Xian feel distressed.
In fact, Xu Qing was no longer in the west of the barracks, and judging from his location, he should be in the northwest.
But he still didn't dare to tell Xueer where Xu Qing was now, because he was afraid that Xueer would miss her and go looking for it on horseback.
Although this girl has always been very obedient when it comes to military orders, the virtuous king dare not gamble!
What if something goes wrong?
King Xian walked all the way to the observation tower on the west side of the barracks, raised his head and saw Xiao Ruxue who was still observing the enemy's situation for the army to see if Xu Qing had returned.
Xian Wang is really worried that his daughter will become a husband-wife stone if he keeps looking at her like this.
He stood under the watchtower and sighed, raised his head and said, "Xue'er."
Xiao Ruxue immediately turned her head and said: "Father, everything is normal in the west of the camp, and there is no enemy coming!"
The Xian King sighed and said, "Xue'er, come down first."
Xiao Ruxue asked, "Father, what's the matter?"
King Xian couldn't help but slow down his tone and said, "Xue'er, come down first."
Xiao Ruxue didn't know why, so she came down from the observation tower, looked at King Xian and asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue's haggard face and even the faint dark circles under his eyes, and sighed, "Xue'er, you haven't had a good night's sleep for several days, right? Go back and sleep for a while."
Xiao Ruxue shook her head immediately, and argued: "It's okay, father, Xueer is not sleepy, Xueer is in good health! You can continue to observe the enemy's situation for our army. Xueer observed carefully, even yesterday The three returning tribes have come to see clearly, Father, don’t replace Xue’er, okay? Xue’er really read carefully.”
Seeing Xiao Ruxue's anxious defense, King Xian couldn't help but feel distressed: "Father didn't mean that, father meant..."
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue's ears moved suddenly, and she immediately said, "Father, I seem to have heard some movement from the west side. I'm going to see if there are any enemy troops attacking the camp."
Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue who climbed up to the watchtower and couldn't help but sighed heavily, he hadn't noticed it yet, what could Xueer notice?
But Xiao Ruxue on the watchtower said, "Father! There is another surrendered tribe from the west. They have a lot of people, and there are a lot of cattle and sheep. Xu Qing recruited a large tribe this time." .”
The virtuous king on the ground just looked up at Xiao Ruxue who was standing on the high platform, feeling distressed and helpless, and at the same time cursed secretly in his heart: Damn it, you brat!
Xiao Ruxue couldn't hear King Xian's answer for a long time, thinking he didn't hear, she couldn't help but looked down and repeated: "Father, a tribe is coming from the west, it's still far away, and they are driving cattle and sheep this way , the daughter is not lazy, right?"
Now King Xian feels even more distressed... Should we pay more attention to the west side? He didn't even hear it! Did Xueer notice the movement from so far away?
But at this moment, he could only smile at Xiao Ruxue who was conscientious on the high platform: "Xue'er has done a good job, Father is not wrong about Xue'er."
When Xiao Ruxue heard King Xian's praise, she was very proud and said, "Father, don't worry, leave the west side of the camp to Xue'er!"
King Xian had no choice but to nod his head, smiled wryly and walked towards the handsome tent.
Seeing the King Xian in such a state, Xue Zhi couldn't help but said: "My lord... Princess..."
The Xian King gritted his teeth and said, "You! Go and send cavalry to bring Xu Qing back to me! What kind of broken wolf lives in Xu Mountain, I won't seal it!"
Sealing the Wolf and Juxu is the prince's lifelong dream. Now that the number of cavalry in Chu State is increasing, the opportunity is in front of them.
Could it be out of anger?
Xue Zhi was thinking like this, and wanted to persuade him: "My lord...you..."
The Xian Wang waved his sleeves and interrupted Xue Zhi impatiently: "Hurry up!"
Not to mention a mere Langjuxu Mountain, even Mount Tai, the only one of the Five Sacred Mountains, can't compare with own baby girl!
