Chapter 344: Retreat from Hibernation
It's just that at this time, Ouyang Ke personally asked, can Yelu Jinshi really not say it? . Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Obviously, no, no one is really a fool, so when he heard Ouyang Ke's question, Yelu Jinshi just gritted his teeth and explained honestly, he understood that if people asked, it meant that he still knew some news, but whether he made it all clear was probably only known to him.
Anyway, Ouyang Ke thinks that this guy can't be honest, and he is playing the trick of breaking his tail to survive.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to give him a way to live, first verify the authenticity of the part he confesses, and then torture to extract a confession, the ghost face army that inherited the drug torture methods of the previous world is the best at this.
"He will leave it to you for the time being, make sure that what he said is true, if it is true, reward him well, if it is false, you can do it." After listening to Yelu Jinshi Balabala's words, Ouyang Ke said casually to Yinmian.
"Yes, master." Ghost Shura replied respectfully.
"Well, the problem of the Western Regions has been preliminarily solved." Looking at the troops outside who began to clean up the battlefield and pack up the arrows, Ouyang Ke's face showed joy.
Three days later, Ouyang Ke received the news that the Black Wind Thieves who were attacked from both sides had also become history. At this point, Ouyang Ke won the biggest resistance in the Western Regions, and the three major bandits all fell one after another, and the entire eastern part of the Western Regions and most of the central region no longer had strong resistance.
Half a month later, Ouyang Ke's main force gathered the three scattered armies, and met with the minds of the Eastern Western Regions and the Central Western Regions, the minds of various large and small forces, and after the leaders or kings of these small forces met or beat or appeased according to the information collected by the Ghost Face Army, Ouyang Ke sent them back to do things.
Because of his own strength and manpower problems, although Ouyang Ke conquered these small forces, he did not have enough manpower to directly govern and dominate the vast Western Regions for the time being, so he could only set up laws and regulations, and sent a small number of people to be stationed there as representatives to supervise the implementation of laws and regulations.
Of course, the people who were sent on the bright side, everyone knew that it was just a representative of the face, but in fact, the entire central and eastern Western Regions still relied on a larger number of ghost face troops to secretly monitor, and at the same time coordinated with the white camel cavalry stationed in three places.
Relying on the intelligence of the Ghost Face Army and the expansion of the number from the total number of camel cavalry to more than 1,000 people, the actual control of the Western Regions was completed.
Of course, in order to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, and at the same time to speed up the cultivation of his own forces, Ouyang Ke also ordered the transfer of all children between the ages of ten and fifteen in these regions, as well as some adult young people.
The former can be cultivated as their central subordinates, and the latter can not only be regained as subordinates, but if not, they can also be pulled to work as coolies, and without these strong young men and children, the price of rebellion by those small countries that still have a lot of autonomy will immediately become a serious price that they simply cannot afford in a short period of time.
At the same time, after making general arrangements for all the affairs in the Western Regions and leaving behind him, Ouyang Ke hurriedly returned to White Camel Mountain with the 3,000 crossbow team he had personally trained, together with more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers and 500 re-replenished horses.
It's not that Ouyang Ke doesn't want to continue to stay in the Western Regions and arrange everything properly, it's just that he has to take into account the feelings of the Western Liao Kingdom, which is close to the Western Regions and even occupies a part of the rich land in the Western Regions.
Even if there are many contradictions in the Western Liao at this time, the two sides of the struggle can't leave each other to deal with him, but the premise is that the barren Western Regions will not threaten them, and Ouyang Ke, who defeated the three major sand thieves and conquered the entire eastern part of the Western Regions and a large central region, if he continues to entrench in the Western Regions to reorganize the population and troops, it will be very threatening.
Even if it is impossible to threaten the Western Liao State, it is definitely capable of threatening a certain force in its country.
When the time comes, the result of waiting for Ouyang Ke will be either the pull of the left and right, or the strangulation of the other party's joint efforts.
And this is actually not necessary for Ouyang Ke at all, because sitting in the eastern and central parts of the Western Regions, although the population and materials are still scarce, but the White Camel Mountain, which includes all the Silk Roads on the road, will only become richer and richer in the future.
Time drags on, as long as Ouyang Keken spends money, then food, weapons and insufficient materials can be bought and sold from the Central Plains, whether it is the rich Southern Song Dynasty or the Jin State that has begun to corrupt, they will not refuse such a good thing as money, and even the most troublesome population problem, Ouyang Ke has thought about it and went to the grassland tribe to buy it.
The steppe tribes, whose tribes were civilized and existed, still maintained the system of slave owners, trading liquor or tea for horses, which they had been doing for thousands of years, and it was absolutely impossible for them to refuse to trade cheaper slaves in exchange.
Anyway, every year there are countless fights between tribes, and there are I don't know how many adult men in the grassland have become slaves because of failure, and for the tribesmen, as long as the slaves are not lost all at once, they are really not even comparable to a lamb.
After the plan is developed, within three or five years, Ouyang Ke is even confident that he will forcibly take over the entire Western Regions and then peek into the Western Liao, or extend a hand to the grassland that is still chaotic.
Therefore, after roughly dealing with the land of the Western Regions, Ouyang Ke not only immediately led people back to the White Camel Mountain, but also transferred a lot of people from the Western Regions back together, but also did not make any plans for the original area of the Western Regions, and even the most important government was not established.
Only in the vast Western Regions, about 1,000 camel cavalry were left to garrison, making it look like the nomads who occupied the Western Regions in the past, and they only regarded the Western Regions as a place of conquest and the existence of blood packs, without the slightest intention of directly ruling this region.
And the facts also proved that Ouyang Ke's worries were not superfluous, not long after he returned to the White Camel Mountain, news came from the dark line of Western Liao, although the high-level nobles of the Western Liao Kingdom did not look down on the territory of the Western Regions in the central and eastern regions, but they were also very interested in the White Camel Mountain, which suddenly appeared and conquered most of the Western Regions.
Some people even put forward a proposal to destroy the White Camel Mountain and let the Western Regions continue to be in a panic.
If it weren't for the split of the Western Liao, the people on both sides were unwilling to send their own people to leave the country, so they wasted time by pulling each other's skins, plus Ouyang Ke turned back to the White Camel Mountain in time, and there was no movement to develop in the Western Regions, even if the Western Liao State did not send troops to forcibly intervene now, it would at least exert pressure on this inexplicably rising force.
"Well, let the Ghost Face Army divide into three brigades to set up a dark department in the Western Liao Kingdom, which is specifically responsible for infiltrating the Western Liao king, the Western Liao concubines and neutral nobles."
"In addition to normal intelligence investigations, as long as they are not designed for us or intelligence incidents in the Western Regions and the Central Plains, let them do other things well, their only main task is to ensure that no one dies when the heads of the three parties, especially the king of the Western Liao Kingdom and his concubines, completely tear their faces apart." In the vast hall, Ouyang Ke paused and continued to say to the ghost Shura.
"Just in case, you go and send two silver-faced Shura, the first one is responsible for what I just said, and the other one is not involved in anything in the past, just take someone to collect all the human and geographical data of the Western Liao Kingdom for me, especially the map and martial arts treasures and other information, and after collecting it, it will expand to the border forces, anyway, I don't have too much information."
"If the first silver face has an accident, then let him rush to the top."
"It's the master." The ghost Shura below said in a respectful whisper: "The subordinates will let the number one and number three pass." ”
As a ghost face army with a mysterious situation, the emphasis on discipline and the courage to sacrifice for the mission is what is important when performing tasks, so the upper and lower hierarchies are clearly divided, in addition to the ghost Shura who is the commander-in-chief, it is divided into eight silver-faced Shura envoys, each responsible for the ghost face army in a region.
And the silver-faced Shura also has a bronze Shura under it, and the bronze Shura is generally the duty of the team leader during the mission, and then the most ordinary iron-faced Shura.
In the Ghost Face Army, everything is calculated by the task completion rate, whether it is the reward or the position, so the martial arts that can be in a high position are not necessarily very strong, but their ability is definitely good.
"Well, so be it! In the land of the Western Regions, the Ghost Mask Army will send a large number of people there, and I will ask Afu to hand over the new batch of Ghost Mask Army Iron Mask Novices to you as soon as possible, and you will restore our strength in the Central Plains and Chaoyuan as soon as possible. Ouyang Ke instructed.
"Yes, master." Ghost Shura replied respectfully, and then left the hall under Ouyang Ke's wave.
After a while, Afu walked into the main hall alone, and said respectfully to Ouyang Ke: "Young master, the princess's side has already been arranged." ”
"Well, she will be one of my women in the future, take care of her, but you also have to teach her the rules, and you must not touch the things that he shouldn't touch." Ouyang Ke said lightly:
"Yes." Afu said respectfully.
"Besides, how is the research on the Treasure Snake prescription?" Ouyang Ke asked again.
"After the research of the medicine slaves, this recipe is pharmacologically reasonable, but the various precious medicines required for cultivation are very large, and how the medicine snake as a seed directly determines the efficacy of the final product treasure snake, and it is not actually raised, and they cannot be 100% guaranteed to succeed." Afu said solemnly.
"I know this, but what about the time? Does it have to take about 20 years? Ouyang Ke asked.
"Young master, the medicine slaves said that this twenty years is very difficult to change, because that itself is a process of fusion and sublimation of countless miracle medicines in the body of the medicine snake, unless the fusion speed of medicinal materials can be accelerated, it can only wait for twenty years."
"The speed of the fusion of medicinal herbs depends on the physical strength of the snake species that has been cultivated as a medicine snake, the stronger its physique, the faster the fusion of medicinal herbs in its body, and the stronger its toxicity, the better the final medicinal effect will be."
"A powerful snake species?" Frowning and loosening, Ouyang Ke said with a sigh of relief: "I will go to the Central Plains in a few days, and then I may bring back a snake species, which is much stronger than ordinary poisonous snakes." ”
"You go back and let the medicine slaves study more, and start collecting the medicinal materials they need, and at the same time send some ghost face troops to the south of the Central Plains to have a look, where the climate is warm and humid, and the living environment for snakes is very good, and you should be able to collect news of powerful snake species." Ouyang Ke instructed.
"Young master, you are going to the Central Plains!" Afu said in surprise: "What about the Western Regions!" Even if there is a message from the Flying Eagle, it is too far from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and I am afraid that there will be no time to deal with the emergency! ”
"I know, but I left White Camel Mountain to go to the Central Plains for the stability of the Western Regions."
"Afu, although no one has come forward to interfere with our occupation of the Western Regions now, it doesn't mean that everyone is really at ease, if I just squat on the White Camel Mountain and don't move, I can't reassure everyone after all, on the contrary, the smarter people may be, the more suspicious."
"Temptations will surely follow, and the more temptations there are, the more we may be exposed."
"But if I go to the Central Plains after that, it will be different, although I really have something to go, but I believe that when the intelligence of the forces in the Western Liao Kingdom secretly knows that I left my family business to go to the Central Plains to participate in the troubled waters of those reckless forces, the conspiracy and conjecture of those wise men who regard the country as their great cause should disappear."
"A person who leaves his family business behind at a critical moment and runs out to play is obviously not going to be a threat, at least not for now." Ouyang Ke said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can we really settle down after dealing with several batches of temptations. ”
"As for the stability of the Western Regions, I have set up laws and regulations before and have enough to protect our interests, so although it is rude, you just need to abide by the laws and regulations, in that case, there may be small contradictions, but there will be no major problems."
"We don't need to care too much about the problems of those losers who are persuaded by force, if we find something wrong, we will kill them directly, the Western Regions is not a place to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality. Whoever has the big fist, whoever says the truth is the truth. ”
"The slave and maid understand." Hearing Ouyang Ke's explanation, Afu could only respectfully respond.
Well, there are tens of thousands of people in the Western Regions this time, among which all the children under the age of ten are handed over to you to train as dead soldiers, and those over the age of ten and under the age of fifteen will be pulled into the group of strong men who are trained in the group, and they will be given rough and shallow outer martial arts to train them into loyal subordinates.
"As for those over fifteen years old, select a few quick martial arts with strong side effects and give them them, let them do dangerous things for us, and at the same time identify their loyalty, and then compile them if they can." Ouyang Ke said one by one.
"Yes, young master, the slave and maid will definitely arrange it." Afu answered again.
"In addition, I just told the Ghost Shura, the Ghost Face Army is relatively short of manpower, you should immediately line up all the people you can send!"
"Yes, I met the ghost Shura when I first came, and now my subordinates should have sent the ghost Shura over." Ave replied.
"That's good." Ouyang Ke nodded and said.
"Go down first! I'll leave the day after tomorrow, so you can get ready first. ”
"Yes, young master."
