You know, he doesn't have much time right now. In four days, he only explored the area less than a thousand miles to the east, and the east is as wide as the west. By the time they return, winter may be coming. It is basically impossible for him to explore the grassland this year.

This matter is really troublesome.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to ask Ah Shan to bring back the injured horses and most of the smoked wolf meat with his men, and then bring a batch of new horses, while he brought the remaining three teams Continue to explore east.

It took another two days to go east on this road, and they still basically only saw the grass, but not the cattle, sheep and horses.

It seems that the range of activities of this group of wild wolves is really not small. Basically, they have taken care of almost all the animals within a radius of more than a thousand miles.

Fortunately, after passing through this vacuum area, they encountered herds of bison, sheep, and horses again, and the frequency of encounters was quite high. Basically, they encountered a herd every day.

After going on like this for four or five days, Zhao Hao had a headache again, because he sent the fifth team of cavalry back to the fourth team, and the remaining team had to take care of a large group of newly tamed wild sheep.

If this team is sent back again, wouldn't he become a polished commander!

In desperation, he had no choice but to order the last group of cavalry to find a source of water, pitch their tents, and wait for the other four groups of cavalry to turn around.

This waiting always makes people feel anxious. Early the next morning, Zhao Hao couldn't help but come to the edge of the camp and look westward.

Originally, he wanted to see if the four teams of cavalry sent back had returned, but looking at the endless grassland, he suddenly thought of a problem.

How big is this grassland?

Calculated according to the speed of galloping horses, the two horses take turns to transfer, and the cavalry can advance at least [-] miles a day.

It took them ten days to run back from the west of the grassland to the settlement of Yanbu.

That is to say, the grassland to the west of the Yanbu settlement is nearly five thousand miles away.

He has also been there from Yanbu or Heishibu to the north, and it will take about ten days to reach the northern edge of the grassland on horseback.

In other words, the width of this grassland is about five thousand miles.

But at this moment, they have all traveled eastward for nearly five days, but they have not yet seen the eastern edge of the grassland.

In other words, the grassland is at least [-] miles long and [-] miles wide.

Such a large grassland, later generations, he has never heard of it.

There seems to be something wrong with this map!

In later generations, let alone such a large grassland, there is no such a large plain!

He was a little skeptical whether this was Earth.

Because there are too many places here that are different from the ancient records on Earth.

For example, the magic weapon, this thing is a super memory metal, and he has used it for several years, and there is no sign of rust at all. If this kind of magic weapon appeared in the ancient times of the earth, it would definitely be handed down, not to mention handed down After thousands of years, it will definitely be no problem to spread to Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties or even Qin and Han Dynasties.

However, during the Xia, Shang, Zhou and Qin and Han dynasties, there is no record of this kind of magic weapon at all.

There are also ancient characters. It stands to reason that the ancient characters written by the young master Yinglou would not appear until the Qin and Han Dynasties at the earliest, but they appeared here in this ancient period.

There are also titles, such as son, general, and lord of a thousand households, these titles should not have appeared in ancient times, but at this moment, Xue Man's tribe is popular in this way of addressing.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?

Everything seemed to linger around him like a cloud of fog, making him more and more confused.

Ugh.

Forget it, it's useless to just think about it. Now, he can only explore the grassland as soon as possible to prepare for the next round of revenge from Xue Man's men.

He just waited in place with the remaining cavalry for a day, and finally another cavalry turned around.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to explore eastward with a group of cavalry.

Unexpectedly, after less than half a day of exploring, they encountered a group of wild horses again!

This group is also guarded by a strange horse, but it is a male, and Bailong doesn't seem to be interested in it at all, not even interested in going up and beating him down.

After Zhao Hao rode on it and managed to subdue it, he had no choice but to give it to Ah Hua, because he didn't want a foreign horse to destroy Bailong's "family" harmony, and Ah Hua's body was too strong If she is big, a normal horse will be out of breath and sweat profusely after running with her for an hour. If it is a foreign horse, it is still very easy to carry Ah Hua.

After subduing the wild horses, he had to wait for a day with Ah Hua and his men. It was not until Ah Shan came with his men that he led the team to continue exploring eastward.

This journey, he can be said to be both happy and troubled.

To his delight, the herds of bison, wild sheep, and wild horses in the east of the grassland were obviously more than those in the west of the grassland. Almost every day, he could subdue a group of them, and his strength was constantly growing.

What annoyed him was that the farther he was from the settlement of the Yanbu, the longer it would take for the team sent to drive away the wild cattle, wild sheep, and wild horses to turn around. If he didn't stop and wait, he would only have to take Watching Ayun and Ayue continue to explore.

Later, he was forced to have no choice but to leave one hundred of the five cavalry battalions each, forming a temporary team of 500 people, led by him, and continued to explore eastward, while Ah Hua and the others were responsible for driving away the cavalry in turn. Harvested livestock returned to the settlements of the Ministry of Salt.

In this way, he continued to explore eastward for more than ten days, and finally, there were continuous mountains in front of him, and beside the mountains, there was a big river several miles wide.

This should be the eastern boundary of the grassland.

Zhao Hao stood on the horse on the bank of the river and looked at the majestic and rolling mountains on the opposite side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There are so many splendid rivers and mountains, which has attracted countless heroes.

This majestic mountain and river can indeed arouse people's great ambitions. At this moment, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​​​conquering the world!

Chapter 137

Zhao Hao finally led his cavalry back from the eastern side of the grassland to the settlement of Youyanbu. This time, they harvested more than the last trip. The livestock in Youyanbu more than doubled, and the livestock in his hand was even bigger. There are as many as one hundred thousand heads.

This is a good thing, but it is also a headache, because livestock need people to guard and graze them, and the more livestock, the more people they need.

At this moment, there are more than [-] livestock in the Yan and Heishi tribes, and all the people from the Yan and Heishi tribes who can be recruited together seem to be insufficient to guard and graze so many livestock.

This is not the most troublesome thing, the most troublesome thing is that winter is coming soon.

In winter, livestock can only be kept in captivity. That is to say, people with Yanbu and Heishi tribes must build a lot of sheep pens, cattle pens and stables, and prepare enough hay. Otherwise, the livestock may die in winter. Freeze to death or starve to death.

Seeing the pasture on the grassland gradually withering and turning yellow, Zhao Hao couldn't help but frown. It was almost winter, and they had just started preparing the fodder.

At this time, almost all the clansmen of the Heishi tribe and the Youyan tribe were mowing grass. Regardless of whether they had livestock or not, as long as they had time, they were all mowing grass.

Those who have livestock at home have thawed grass for their own livestock to use in the winter, while those without livestock have thawed grass in exchange for winter meat. At this moment, the price of a basket of grass has even risen to about a catty of meat. One person can harvest more than ten baskets of grass a day, and the meat in exchange can last for three or four days. That is to say, even if the clansmen of the Heishi tribe have no livestock at home, they only need to take advantage of the one month before the winter to go to the grassland. By cutting grass on the ground, the meat for a winter can be easily stored.

The problem is, even if all the people from the Black Stone Department come to mow grass, the grass is still not enough to feed more than [-] livestock in the winter!

Moreover, the sheep pens, cattle pens and stables for these livestock to spend the winter have not yet been found.

There are seriously not enough staff, what should I do?
