Chapter 177 Entering the Outer City
"Woo~~" The huge war elephant shook its nose and roared for a long time.
"Boom~!" A huge rock was trampled by it and collapsed with a bang.
Judging from the remaining shape, it was originally a small hill, but now it was dug up and broken by a group of strong soldiers holding the giant god's iron bones, becoming scattered and scattered giant rocks.
More than a dozen giant elephants with heads and shoulders over twenty meters high may destroy huge rocks, load and unload gravel, and some oxen with manes as flames all over them, dragging rolling wood to flatten the land, or dragging plows to open wastelands on another place.
A bridge was vaguely seen in the distance, but the scene further opposite the city ditch made a group of people's eyes widen.
"Haha, that's from Hujia Village. They were lucky. The children in the village followed Mrs. Jiao to make contributions. The prefect assigned more than ten elephants to the village to fight. They followed the soldiers to sort out the designated village."
"Hmph, when we look back and wait for the people in our Lijia Village to come out, we will definitely compare them." The old man looked at the scene opposite and was still dissatisfied while talking and laughing.
"Old Li, is that rushing to the city a mount? Can mounts be used like this?" Zhang Wentao asked.
He heard from his subordinates that there was an elephant in Donglai, but he couldn't figure out what kind of existence this elephant was.
"Cast? Well, our Donglai has elephant soldiers, but these are ordinary elephants and the fire cattle there are all able to be raised and bred. With these guys, it is much easier to farm and transport." The old man smiled.
"Ordinary creatures? How much do these giant beasts eat? How can they keep them in captivity in a village?" Kong Rong asked.
"Haha, I don't know this, but unfortunately, our Li Village did not receive such a reward." The old man thought to himself and picked out what he could say.
Most of the things the old man said were situations that ordinary people could observe along the way. He felt that they had a bad impact on Li Ling, or he thought they were magical, but he didn't know what he thought was magical.
"If it is food, Lord Taishou will be kind and transplanted many grain-producing crops to our Donglai. On the way, you will see elephant-food trees. A village with large trees that produce very high grains and are divided into war elephants, and one or two plants will be assigned to plant them."
The old man drove the cattle, and Kong Rong looked in his carriage and asked, and came all the way to the suspension bridge. He said it was a temporary suspension bridge. When he walked closer, he saw a solid bridge that was enough for three or five carriages to run in parallel. There was a team of soldiers guarding the bridge, with a number of about thirty people.
"Oh, Mr. Li, are you going to see your grandson again? Our eldest grandson is not young anymore. You said that you are old and it is difficult to stay at home. Why are you running around all day long?"
Seeing the old man approaching, a young team led a team to look at the old man from afar and shouted and joked at the old man.
"Go away, damn child, my Li Hu and the prefect are the ones, and they learn their skills from adults. They won't be able to deal with you. The old man went to see my girl. It just so happened that I have something here, you will bring it to my Hu." The old man smiled and scolded the team. As he spoke, he turned to greet Kong Rong.
"Kong Beihai, wait a moment, I ask that kid to help bring something."
The old man drove the ox cart a few steps away, and then stopped driving the ox cart. He jumped out of the ox cart, carried a package, and walked towards the team leader near the bridge. The ox cart was not sure whether it was coincidentally or intentionally blocking the way Kong Rong's cart.
"Brother Zhao, the person in the car over there said that he was Kong Rong from Beihai, and said that he wanted to visit Cai Yong and Cai. Along the way, I felt that they seemed disrespectful to Prefect Li." The old man walked to the team leader, winked at him, and whispered.
"And they were carrying their troops, and there were a few people riding horses beside the car, all of them were players. If you have a fast horse, go and find a patrol cavalry to report the news. The prefect of the branch, I will take them to delay time along the way."
"Kong Rong? Is there a general named Bao Xin?" Zhao's team leader asked in a low voice.
"Well, yes, there is another officer in the car saying it was Bao Xin from Luoyang."
The old man didn't know what official position the Duwei was, but only knew he was an officer. For the common people, those who led the troops were called generals.
"Hmph, recently notified that the relatives of the foreign country were deceived by His Majesty, and Bao Xin was under the command of He Jin. It was them, the army of players gathered in Jiaozhou, which was attracted to them, and they wanted to be unfavorable to Donglai."
"The cavalry patrol has notified me before. The lord has already known about them and his party, so he had just let them go. But..." The young team leader said, looking at the old man hesitantly, and continued.
"Old Li, why are you getting together with them? The lord told me to take some precautions against them. I think it's not a good person, why don't I... I'll transfer a team of soldiers to accompany you?" The team leader was a little worried.
"Haha, OK, Zhao Liwu has the right to transfer troops? I will be a general in the future. I will say that you are smart and more successful than my Ahu." The old man's face was filled with praise, which made Zhao Liwu scratch his head with a silly smile.
"No need to dispatch troops. My green cow is a reward for the child's monthly exam. If there is danger, I can drive the cow to escape. There are many soldiers and generals along the way, so why are they afraid of them?" The old man said angrily.
"Haha, Mr. Li is mighty, brother Li Hu is probably following you." Zhao Liwu praised with a thumbs up.
"Haha, that's right, our Donglai Old Li family, how can there be someone who is afraid of trouble? But..." At this point, the old man's eyes turned again.
"I said General Zhao, look..."
As soon as the old man spoke, Zhao Liwu hurriedly interrupted: "Oh, my master, what is your name? Will you live a life-long life?"
"Oh... Forget it, you can't sit on the dog meat." Seeing that Zhao Liwu reacted so much, he was scolded and was happy. The old man curled his lips and continued.
"Brother Zhao, I'm risking my life to lead them. I asked if you should report the incident of this pedestrian passing by here, and by the way, I mentioned the old man." The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"..." Zhao Liwu.
"What do you think? Boy, I have to teach you this? We naturally cannot add any falsehood to the prefect, but we still have to fight for the credit you should fight for."
"Even if there is no credit, show your face in front of Shangguan more and let Shangguan listen to your name more. Will it be harmful to you? Look at the war elephants that Hujia Village makes, you guys are not enlightened." Seeing Zhao Liwu stunned, the old man was so angry that he couldn't stand the steel path.
"Master, you are so wise. Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll send someone to the post station to report." Zhao Liwu said with a black line on his forehead.
"Remember to report your name, and I have old ones. Well, forget it, just report Li Hu's name." The old man said.
"...Is this considered lying about military information?" Zhao Liwu said weakly.
"I'm just lying, I don't have two taels of ink in my stomach and I'm talking nonsense. Isn't you tell me, Li Hu's grandfather?" the old man glared.
"...You are wise." Zhao Liwudao.
