Chapter 410: A Vain Dream (Seeking All Kinds of Votes)

"This is what Youfu said in the letter. He said he would take the team to take revenge and get back the lost livestock. He asked me if I agree. What do you two think?" Luo Chong put away the animal skin and said to the two.

"Leader, I think we should let Youfu come back first. Since most of the cattle and horses are still there, there is no need to chase them. After all, the caravan is short of manpower. After this battle, many people were injured. There are only more than 30 heavy cavalrymen left, and they are still injured. It will be too disadvantageous for us to fight again. Now the enemy has at least more than 300 people. We can't win even if we fight by consumption." Dashu immediately suggested.

"Yes, chief, I also think that Youfu should be allowed to return first. They are few in number and injured. They should focus on protecting the remaining cattle and horses and supplies and return to the tribe as soon as possible. Bringing back the remaining people and goods, and getting back so many seeds in advance, is already the greatest contribution to the tribe.

However, this time someone actually dared to attack the people of our Han tribe. We naturally cannot swallow this breath, otherwise the tribesmen below will definitely be disappointed. Please order the chief to let me lead the troops to fight. I must let those blind things remember well that our Han tribe is not easy to mess with."

Shu Da also spoke on the side. At first, he spoke very coherently, but in the end, his true colors were exposed in just a few words. Luo Chong smiled and shook his head.

"Let you lead the troops to fight? Where are your soldiers? How many people do you have now?" Luo Chong looked at Shu Da and asked with a smile.

"My soldiers, I have no one now."

Hearing Luo Chong's question, Shu Da remembered that basically all his soldiers had been sent out, and he had no one left. He was a commander without troops.

Not counting the heavy cavalry, there were only about 150 people in the full-time army. One group was sent to the two tribal alliances in the north to stay there. That group would not be back until the beginning of next spring. Another group was sent to support the Lu tribe, which not only had hundreds of farmed pigs, but also grain seeds just snatched from the Xin tribe, whose importance was self-evident. Another group was sent to Rumeng Water Valley to collect saplings, but no one knew if they had returned yet. There were only a few soldiers left to guard the city gates in the entire Xincheng, so where else could they be used?

But Shu Da was still unwilling to accept this. As the leader of the army, he watched the soldiers being sent out in groups every day, even his deputy Xue Tu and the quartermaster Shou Ya led the team out. He was here to lead a few soldiers to guard the city gates, and he had to teach the clan leaders and elders to learn Chinese characters. He was almost choking. How could he let go of the opportunity to fight now?

"Chief, why don't we gather all the tribesmen here to fight? Just give me 500 people, no, 300 will do, and I promise that the enemy will avoid our Chinese characters flag in the future." Shu Da said solemnly.

"No, let alone 300, I can't give you even 100." Luo Chong shook his head and said.

"Why, Chief, are we going to just let it go after we get beaten?!" Shu Da was immediately dissatisfied and his voice started to get louder.

"Da Shu, tell him why." Luo Chong took a sip of water.

"It's already late July, and our rice is about to be harvested. With so much grain to harvest, dry and store, all the tribesmen have to be mobilized. No one will let you go out to fight. And after harvesting this season's rice, we have to plant another crop. Winter doesn't come until November at the earliest. Even if we can't grow grain in these three months, we can grow some vegetables.

In addition, in the remaining three months, we have to store enough fodder and firewood. The houses for the new members who joined this year must also be built. We have to ensure that all the new clans have winter supplies. This is very important. If they can't live well in the Han tribe, then what 's the point of them joining our Han tribe?

This is the first winter for those clans after joining the Han tribe. I'm sure that if any family doesn't get enough food this winter, someone below will definitely make trouble."

Dashu counted on his fingers one by one, which made Shuda stunned. Why is it so difficult to get a few people to fight? The Han tribe has so many people and the number of livestock is enough to crush those ordinary nomadic tribes by several streets. The strength should be very strong, so why can't they send one person to fight? Is the strength of the Han tribe all rootless duckweed? All illusions? Destroyed at the touch of a button?

Luo Chong looked at Shuda's confused eyes and knew what he was thinking, so he started to talk to the two.

"Do you think the current strength of the Han tribe is fake? You can't even send people to fight."

The two nodded at the same time, and then looked at Luo Chong seriously, waiting for his answer.

"It is true. We have developed too fast, so our foundation is unstable. It is so difficult to mobilize a few people, but this is not your fault. You have done a good job. As long as we work hard like we do now, we will be able to gain a firm foothold by next year.

All we need now is time. Think about Hanyang City. It has only been established for a year and a half. In at most another month, all the construction projects in the entire Hanyang City will be completely completed. By that time, what else can the people of Hanyang City do except farming and feeding chickens? They will have free time.

So it is the same here in the new city. This year is the first year of the new city. "It will be a little difficult. We need to cultivate land and build. You have done a good job to settle tens of thousands of people in a few months. If

we work hard, as long as we survive this winter, the people in Xincheng will be completely stable next year. If we still grow rice, we can grow it for at least two seasons. If we grow new crops, we can grow it for three or even four seasons.

As long as there is no shortage of food and they have sturdy houses to live in, this group of people will follow us completely. At the latest, by the second half of next year, Xincheng will be able to free up its hands. By then, we can do whatever we want and we can send people." Luo Chong analyzed and encouraged the two people.

"Aren't we in danger now? If the enemy attacks at this time, the Han tribe will not be able to protect itself." Shu Da said with a pity.

"You, you, how can I say hello to you? Our inability to send out manpower this year does not mean that we are incapable of going to war, but it does not mean that we are incapable of defense. If an enemy attacks now, do you think these newly joined tribesmen will fight to the death with the enemy? This is their new home built by their own hands. Whoever dares to act wildly here will have his head knocked off.

Besides, there are more than 10,000 people in the new city. Who would be so blind and crazy to attack here? Do they think the food is not delicious or that they think their life is too long?" Luo Chong pointed at Shu Da and said.

It's free for a limited time. You can get it for free, but you must leave your ticket! Leave it! Go! Ah! (broken voice)
