Chapter 1355: Finding Some Fat Women

"Alright, then I will make the arrangements, let them send out more people to carry our Bombs, and we will set off immediately tomorrow."

Afterwards, Lu let Shaoyin go get busy without making any further arrangements. Shaoyin found one of the Leaders of the Tribal Alliance and said bluntly: "We are setting off tomorrow, but the Logistics Team is moving too slowly. It is necessary to have people walk to carry our things. You should find people within your tribe; I see that at least two hundred people are needed to carry thirty days of food and some of our Weapons for us."

Shaoyin added another sentence: "Women are fine too, as long as they have strength."

The Leader's face turned dark: "This Leader, we really can't do it. We don't have that many people, and besides, we should listen to our Tribal Chief. You are not from the Xuanyuan Tribe, so how can we listen to your arrangements?"

"Because we are allies with the Xuanyuan Tribe, and what I am proposing now are all normal requests. It is just asking your people to put in some effort; it is not requiring you to do anything else, nor are we asking your people to go to war. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"Right now, the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe are pulling carts loaded with our food and Weapons, and we can order them around, so why can't you?"

"Do you think we, Huaxia, are fighting for ourselves? I am doing this to catch up with your Tribal Chief quickly to help them. If they have already started fighting, without our Weapons and without our Soldiers, wouldn't their casualties be even higher?"

"By the way, among those people, there are also many of your Soldiers, right? There are your tribesmen, right? I am helping you right now, going to help your tribesmen, so why are you still acting like this? Do you have any dissatisfaction?"

After being lectured directly and harshly by Shaoyin, this Leader had nothing to say. He felt that what Shaoyin said was truly very reasonable and that he must support it.

So he immediately changed his attitude and said: "Okay, okay, Leader, I will go prepare now. I will try my best to find people with greater strength to transport things for you."

"Is it only women you want? I will find some fatter ones."

Shaoyin knew he had misunderstood, so he explained: "It is not that I only want women; it is that I am afraid your tribe does not have enough men, which would affect your lives. If it can be men, that would be best."

"If your tribe does not have many men left and you cannot send that many men, then women with great strength will do. Do you understand?"

The Leader nodded repeatedly: "Understood, understood, I will go prepare right now."

This time he truly understood; it was he himself who had thought wrong. However, if the men of Huaxia could pass on their genes, that would actually be a good thing. After all, anyone could see that these men of Huaxia were all built so sturdily, looking like excellent men at a glance. The children they sired would certainly be good too. As a Tribal Chief, he naturally wanted such excellent Wax Seeds; he alone could not produce that many people.

Added to this was the fact that the tribe already had a situation where there were more women than men, with the number of men not even half that of the women. This was all because they had died in previous wars, and the ones who died were the best Soldiers. Therefore, these women urgently needed someone to get them pregnant to produce descendants for the tribe and maintain the tribe's development.

Jiebing took Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng along the path from last year to retake the lost territory.

They brought more people this year, with the number of men and women reaching almost forty thousand. Of course, the vast majority existed to serve the war.

They were like a moving tribe, constantly gathering food that could be eaten on the road. Once they arrived at a place, they had to immediately start hunting and gathering to accumulate food.

However, they could not eat most of the food; even if they were hungry, they had to endure it. They had to save the most and the best food for the few thousand Soldiers who needed to go to the battlefield.

Originally, in Jiebing's mind, there was no need for so many Soldiers; two or three thousand would be enough. But the desperate persuasion of Jiang Cheng and Jiang Ming, along with the fear in the eyes of the Soldiers who had participated in the war, forced Jiebing to attach more importance to it and bring more Soldiers.

But bringing Soldiers meant needing more people to maintain logistics. However, when there were many logistics personnel, the consumption of resources was even greater. It was difficult to find enough food in the surrounding area to sustain tens of thousands of people, so they had to keep moving and collect everything edible they saw on the road.

Of course, they also had a lot of stored grain themselves. As an ancient tribe, it was impossible not to have stored grain. For the two tribes of Jiang Ming and Jiang Cheng, not to mention the ordinary tribesmen, at least the stored grain could ensure that the Leaders and the main Soldiers would not have to worry about food for two or three years.

Because the vast majority of tribesmen were gathering food to support them, keeping only enough for themselves to eat, and handing over basically everything else. Soldiers who were not fighting usually also needed to hunt; after the prey had eaten its fill, the rest was also handed over.

With such accumulation, as the Tribal Chief who controlled the distribution of food, one could naturally accumulate a lot of food. It did not matter if ordinary tribesmen starved to death in Winter, as long as the Soldiers were not allowed to starve to death. As a Leader, there was even less need to worry about food problems; it was impossible for it to be lacking.

In such a time of war now, it was naturally necessary to take a large portion of the stored grain to ensure that the tribesmen and Soldiers still had food to eat in the event that no food was found.

But this food would never be distributed to ordinary tribesmen. Everyone knew this, but they had long been accustomed to it because their lives only had two things: living and procreating. Every day was a state of being half-full and half-hungry, so they naturally would not consider other things.

Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe had already broken away from this situation. They did not need to take their tribesmen on expeditions; as long as the Logistics Team did not stop, they could use a small number of people to maintain the food supply for a large army.

It was just that because the distance was very far, the consumption was also high. Occasionally, there would still be a shortage of food. Every supply of food was basically on the edge; once it was delivered a few days late, the entire army would be in danger.

Therefore, in daily life, when there was no war, they needed to hunt. All prey encountered on the road was hunted one by one. If it could not be preserved, it was eaten on the spot. Eating a little meat meant eating a little less grain, saving the grain that could be preserved for a long time, which gave them more confidence when fighting.

War at this time, besides comparing numbers and Weapons, also compared logistics. It was just that the Shennong Clan maintained it by exploiting the tribesmen, while Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe relied solely on the constantly moving Logistics Team.
