Five thousand soldiers started working together, and dozens of wooden platoons were quickly set up. Then, push the rafts down the river one by one and connect them with ropes to form a simple pontoon bridge.
If wooden rafts were used to ferry people across the river, it would take a lot of time for 5,000 people to cross the river.
But using these wooden rafts to form a pontoon bridge, five thousand people completed the crossing in a very short time.
During this process, the previous hippopotamus group did not bubble at all. Waiting for Xu Laoer to leave with the army, the hippopotamus group from before was sent ashore in the water and slowly entered the forest.
This scene was seen by the last soldiers and spread.
Originally it was just a simple thing, but after word of mouth spread, it became a little more mysterious.
Xu Laoer, a brave uncle, was covered with a sacred cloak. All the soldiers felt that Xu Laoer was a person favored by God, so he won many battles.
Accordingly, as long as they follow Uncle Yongwu's footsteps, they will be invincible.
When these words reached Xu Laoer's ears, he was really happy.
"Little sister, did you hear that, your second brother and I are also a very lucky person!"
Xu Laoer heard the rumors in the army and proudly showed off to Fubao.
Fu Bao gave his second brother an unambiguous look and said, "Second brother, don't you know how lucky you are?"
"Hehe, of course I am very lucky!"
Xu Laoer was not ashamed at all, "Think about it, if I didn't have great luck, how could I be your second brother!"
“…”
After hearing what his second brother said, Fu Bao was decisively convinced.
Well, to put it this way, everyone in my family is very lucky.
etc!
If this is the case, their family is really very lucky.
But ultimately this great blessing lies in their unfortunate grandmother.
If it hadn't been for my grandmother's self-sacrifice, neither brother nor sister would have appeared in this world. After all, in the original timeline, their father died for their grandmother.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Did the second brother say the wrong thing?"
Xu Laoer was originally talking and joking with Fu Bao, but suddenly he noticed that his sister's expression was a little gloomy, and he said that he said the wrong thing, which made his little sister angry.
"Second brother, we must destroy the path of luck!"
"Also, we have to kill the eldest princess and avenge our grandmother!"
"Don't worry, dad and we will take care of these things."
Xu Laoer answered confidently.
Although I don't know why my little sister suddenly said this, it is their common understanding that Jie Yun Dao and the eldest princess are the enemies of their family.
In the days that followed, the army moved slowly through the mountains and forests, truly finding its way in the middle of nowhere.
Make roads across mountains and build bridges over rivers!
Five thousand people, it was really hard work along the way.
The scouts sent by Xu Laoer to explore the river had no trace left when they encountered the river. After all, it was difficult to judge where the scouts would cross the river.
At this moment, the army's march no longer relied solely on the map provided by Bai Jin.
Because this map is of no use anymore.
A few days later, news came from the army outpost, and smoke rising from the mountains was discovered.
If there is smoke, that means someone is there.
"Everyone, cheer up, we're going out!"
Walking out of the mountains is Jiannan Mansion.
And Jiannan Mansion is now the country of Jie Luck Dao.
No one knows what the situation is like in the country created by the Jie Luck Dao. The Luck Path blocked the only way into Jiannan Mansion, completely sealing it off.
The order was quickly conveyed, and then Xu Laoer personally led a hundred elite men towards the place where the smoke was rising.
Fubao naturally followed Xu Laoer.
Cai's mother and Li Chun stayed in the army, waiting for Xu Laoer to investigate the situation before following up.
"It's a village!"
Soon, Fubao, who was following Xu Laoer, saw the situation where the smoke was rising.
Different from the villages over there in Xiangyi Prefecture, what appears in this mountain is a village.
All the houses are made of bamboo, which looks quite ethnic.
In the village, there were many children playing.
"Second brother, what kind of village is this?"
Fu Bao turned to look at his second brother and asked in a low voice.
"It should be Manzhai!"
Xu Laoer blinked, "There are many mountain barbarians here in Jiannan Mansion. They live in villages in the mountains. Although they are common people of the Tang Dynasty, they are basically not under the jurisdiction of the court. Even local officials have no control over the barbarians. Nothing can be done.”
"Second brother, do you think it's impossible for the people from the Luck Path to conquer them?"
"impossible!"
Xu Laoer answered very definitely this time.
"Little sister, don't you know this?"
Xu Laoer was quite proud, "The mountain barbarians in Jiannan Mansion and the Li people had the same ancestor a long time ago, and they all believe in Chi You, the ancestor of the Li people."
"It's just that the people chose to go out of the mountains, so they are called people!"
"As for the mountain barbarians, they stay in the mountains, have little contact with the outside world, and retain the traditions of many years ago. Therefore, they are called mountain barbarians by outsiders."
"Mountain barbarians will never betray their ancestors, and naturally they cannot believe in those things from the Dao Sect!"
Xu Laoer proudly gave his little sister some knowledge.
Fu Bao understood after listening to his second brother's words.
In fact, Fubao could guess what was going to happen from the moment his second brother said Chi You's name.
This time and space is a time and space that Fu Bao has never known. And the planet beneath her feet was not the Earth she was familiar with.
But now, the appearance of the name Chi You gave Fubao a different feeling.
Unfortunately, she is too young and it will take some time to let herself go.
"Let's go and visit the village!"
After confirming that the village in front of him was the mountain barbarian's village, Xu Laoer sent someone to send the news back, and the army was on standby.
After that, Xu Laoer led a team of personal guards and Fu Bao into the village.
Then, Xu Laoer suffered a tragedy.
Although the barbarians are not cruel, the problem is that the two sides do not understand the language.
The mountain barbarians have always lived in the mountains and have not had much contact with the outside world. Although they will go out to trade with people outside to exchange some daily necessities.
But unfortunately, when Xu Laoer and the others came, the only person in this barbaric village who could communicate with outsiders happened to take people from the clan outside to exchange daily necessities.
In the end, it was Fubao's gestures that finally made the other party understand what they wanted to do.
After the village owner of Shanman helped draw a map out of the mountain, Xu Laoer asked someone to send a lot of refined salt to the village.
In this attack on Jiannan Mansion, Xu Laoer asked the soldiers below to bring not only weapons and dry food, but also a lot of refined salt.
Refined salt is indispensable at any time.
The most important thing is that this thing is light and easy to carry. (End of chapter)
