As Zhu Ti approached, the road gradually began to become smoother. It was not because the road construction people were lazy. Most of the roads here were stepped on. Just as Lu Xun said in his previous life, there was no road in the world, and when more people walked, there was a road.

Guan Xing looked at the village in front of him, looked at the sky, and said to Zhang Bao: "Xingguo, go and discuss with the people in the village to see if we can set up camp here tonight?"

"Why should I listen to you?" Zhang Bao glared and said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Uncle asked me to be a pioneer." Guan Xing said naturally.

"Absurd, what my uncle said at the beginning was that you and I were both pioneers, and there was no division between the primary and secondary. Why are you the only one left here?" Zhang Bao said with disdain.

"Even so, I am older than you, my father is also the brother of Uncle Yide. My martial arts are better than you, and I am better in commanding troops than you. Of course you should listen to me!" Guan Xing looked at Zhang Bao with dissatisfaction.

"Ha~" Zhang Bao was angry and retorted: "I would admit that you were older, but this martial arts and military tactics are not necessarily related to age. My uncle also said that having ambition is not about being old, and living for a hundred years without ambition is not necessarily awesome. At the age of age, it may not be that it is powerful. If I were stopped by Auntie, you would have been my defeated general. Now how dare you make such a fuss in front of me?"

"Okay, then today we will fight to see who is the elder brother, so that you can know how to talk to the elder brother in the future." Guan Xing raised the knife on the horse's back and said coldly.

"Just to my wish!"

...

"Marty Ting, the two major generals are fighting again!" Liu Yi was discussing with Ma Liang about how to change the next time when he arrived in Zhuti County, but saw a team leader coming and clasped his fists.

"Madam, go and see who wins. The loser will bring you back and beat him!" Liu Yi shook his head and said to Lu Lingqi: "Give them a wooden weapon."

"Yes." Lu Lingqi nodded and agreed, got off the carriage, rode her own war horse and left.

"Why don't Ting Hou decide the primary and secondary?" Ma Liang looked at Liu Yi in confusion, not understanding why these two little guys had fought all the way, so why did Liu Yi not set the primary and secondary for them.

"I forgot at the beginning." Liu Yi said calmly. At the beginning, he did ignore this point.

"What about it later?" Ma Liang was speechless. Why can such a thing be said so calmly?

"I think it's good to do this." Liu Yi touched his chin and thought, "If there is no surprise in the future, they will be the pillars of Wang Ting. Instead of forcing them to distinguish the main and secondary, it is better for them to solve it themselves. Of course, we cannot waste too much time. They are the commander and are not reckless men. Forget this kind of scene of winning the coach."

Ma Liang nodded, and he also agreed with Liu Yi's statement. After all, they are all commanding generals, and they are not just brave generals. How could the commander of the three armies be a joke?

"So, in order to decide the higher, they must come up with a solution, but they must come up with the quickest way to solve the problem." Liu Yi smiled.

"What if Ruoting Hou is coming to break up?" Ma Liangqi said.

"It's simple. Since you are a general, you must first know how to order troops. In the heavenly craftsmanship, you have recorded many detailed usages of how to order troops. How to order troops Han Xin was asked to calculate them for me. The winner was the fastest to calculate." Liu Yi smiled.

Although leading troops to fight wars is not just about ordering troops, it is definitely a basic foundation. Even if you don’t know how many people you have or whether they have any or not, what else can you talk about leading troops to fight wars?

Lu Lingqi came back soon, and Zhang Bao obediently ran to discuss camping with the locals, while Guan Xing was responsible for investigating all sides and arranging sentry detectives to ensure that the large army had a stable environment.

When Zhang Bao, who had been bruised and swollen, arrived at the barbarian village, he won some sympathy for no reason, and the problem of getting there was a relatively smooth journey.

The leader of the barbarian tribe was very enthusiastic and personally brought the strong men from the tribe to help.

"These barbarians are quite enthusiastic." Liu Yi looked at the barbarians who helped transport goods or wood and smiled.

"They are here to ask for things." Ma Liang smiled.

"Ah?" Liu Yi looked at Ma Liang in confusion: "What's the solution?"

"Although the southern central area has abundant resources, it is because of too much miasma and farming is not prosperous. If the ethnic groups in the southern central central area want to eat enough, they have to exchange various rare products for food in the southern central area. It is not free to help these people. Tinghou remembers to order some food to give them later." Ma Liang said with a smile.

"Brother Ji Chang, it's your first time in Nanzhong, why are you so clear?" Liu Yi looked at Ma Liang and asked.

"It's actually no different from Shanyue." Ma Liang sighed and said, "If these people of the barbarian and Yue are honest, they are indeed simple, but they are not stupid. If they break this rule, they will regard you as their enemy."

Isn't this forced sales?

Liu Yi didn't like this very much. Even if he felt that the barbarians in the South China were pitiful and wanted to help them, this semi-compulsive method was difficult to accept.

Although he didn't say anything, only looking at Liu Yi's face, Ma Liang could guess what he was thinking, and quickly persuaded: "This is their rule. If you don't want to, they will be disappointed if you refuse at the beginning, but you won't bother you. But if I don't stop them from helping, I'm unwilling to pay the reward afterwards, that's the rule here."

Liu Yi felt a little more uncomfortable when he heard this. Although he was still a little awkward, at least he could refuse. He blamed himself for not understanding this rule at the beginning.

"Okay, let's go to the village and bring the guards." Liu Yi nodded, and greeted the tribe leader with Ma Liang, Lu Lingqi, Guan Xing and several guards, and went to their village.

The military camp was just camping nearby, but it was impossible to be next to the village. On the one hand, it was inconvenient, and on the other hand, it was not at ease. There was at least ten miles apart between the two sides.

In fact, there are not many commendable villages built by the barbarians in the South Central. At least in Liu Yi's eyes, this place does not have basic defense in addition to sheltering from wind and rain. There are many loopholes in the design. Not to mention the army, jackals, tigers and leopards may not be able to defend against them.

"I discovered something. Why have we never seen a decent beast along the way?" Liu Yi suddenly looked at Ma Liang beside him in confusion.

"This..." Ma Liang didn't know how to answer for a moment, nor did he know.

"Husband, most of the beasts in the mountains are smart and know how to seek profit and avoid harm. Generally, unless you are extremely hungry, they rarely hit places with crowds." Lu Lingqi smiled. She was very knowledgeable in this regard.

However, Liu Yi couldn't help but think of the big tiger that killed Wukong's mother back then. At that time, he also had many guards around him. Seeing the big tiger, he didn't seem to be very hungry. Could it be... it is confident that it will beat so many people?

"But most of the beasts have never eaten humans. I heard that beasts that have eaten humans will take the initiative to attack humans." Lu Lingqi added.

Well, that tiger has eaten someone depending on the situation!

The village was simple. Liu Yi found that most of the villages were women and children. Men went to the military camp to help, but it was rare for the elderly. There was no need to ask about this. Nanzhong was full of miasma, so there were not many people who could live until they were old.

The clan leader seemed to be the longest-lived one in this village.

"Go and have someone give them some food. If they have fur and are willing to exchange it, the price is right, so they can exchange it with them." Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Guan Xing.

"Here!" Guan Xing nodded and agreed, turning around and leaving in the direction of the military camp.

The barbarians in the village looked at them as if they were looking at animals. The brave children would come over and carefully touch his armor or sword, which made Guan Xing very uncomfortable.

"Husband, let's go back." Lu Lingqi looked around, obviously unable to stand that kind of gaze, and looked at Liu Yi and said.

"Well, wait." Liu Yi's eyes stopped on the totem pole of the village for a while, and nodded.

"This father-in-law!" Liu Yi found the oldest old man, pointed to the totem pole and said, "What kind of totem is this?"

"Dangkang~" the old man said in a half-baked official speech.

Dangkang is also a strange beast recorded in the Shanhai Jing. It is like a pig, with green all over, two big ears, and four fangs in its mouth. According to folk legend, in the harvest years, Dangkang would dance by calling his own name, and its appearance usually indicates the arrival of a good harvest.

Although the totem may not be useful, it can also show the people here’s desire for a good harvest.

The elderly don’t talk too much, and their expressions are a little numb. In such a harsh environment of survival, the elderly are the least valued group. No matter how glorious they were when they were young, but when they are old, in order to support more young and strong people, the elderly often don’t want to eat more themselves. This is also a kind of helplessness.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Liu Yi brought Ma Liang and Lu Lingqi back. Along the way, Liu Yi was thinking about some questions. When he returned to the camp, the outline of the camp had already stood up.

"Go and call the clan leader, I have something to discuss with him." Liu Yi also thought about something along the way. Since he wanted to change the status quo of the Southern Barbarians, the wealthy families in the South obviously had a connection with each other. Even if he arrived in Zhuti, it might not be of any significance. It would be better to start from here to help these small tribes develop and cultivate the foundation on his side.

"Send someone to prefect Zhuti in copper juice. We will not go to Zhuti for the time being. Let's move in this area. Send people to explore the nearby areas and record the arrangements of nearby barbarians."

"Here!" Ma Liang agreed and went to find the clan leader, while Guan Xing went to arrange for someone to go to Zhuti.

"You are looking for me, General?" The patriarch came to Liu Yi and asked with a smile on his face with a pleated face.

"Not bad." Liu Yi nodded and said, "I hope to do some construction here to help you farm and increase your grain production. I wonder what the patriarch wants?"

"You want to help us?" A look of vigilance flashed across the patriarch's face.

"Well, this time, I entered Nanzhong to help all ethnic groups in Nanzhong develop and prosper without suffering from life." Liu Yi nodded.
Chapter completed!
