In the early morning, when the 12,000 Han troops who feinted to attack Chenggu County were exhausted from the overnight march, quietly and slowly drove into the east gate of Nanzheng, a long and thick horn sounded outside the north gate.

Nearly 3,000 black-helmeted and black-armored Eagle's Nest warriors lined up in two phalanxes on the left and right, sandwiching the phalanx composed of more than 1,000 city guard soldiers and soldiers in the middle, and in the rear were thousands of city guard family members who dragged their children and daughters, supported the old and the young, and the whole scene looked nondescript.

Although Taishou Sugu made a hoarse speech, to the effect that he was ordered by the peak to secretly transfer some elites to temporarily garrison a key pass in the surrounding area, and at the same time, in order to commend the heroic performance of the soldiers of the city guard army in the battle of Nanzheng, an exception was made to allow all the families of the soldiers to be relocated together, so as to calm the hearts of the soldiers.

However, on the faces of all the Nanzheng soldiers and people, one could only see sadness, doubt, reluctance, and even despair. Some suspicious soldiers are already secretly linking, and if they find out that something is wrong, they will take action.

Nan Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head, if it were him, he would also be suspicious, just because this series of things came too suddenly and too weirdly. First of all, the 12,000 army in the city suddenly pulled out, followed by less than a day there was a Heavenly Master Dao army poured into the nest to attack, and the city and outside the city fought for nearly a day, and then inexplicably came the news that the 10,000 army of the Heavenly Master Dao had been completely annihilated, just a few hours after the peace, there were officials in the city with lanterns, door-to-door notice, early in the morning to move the family, but not even to inform where to migrate, how can all this make a normal person feel calm?

What's more, the thousands of Eagle's Nest warriors hidden under their armor, although they stood as tall as a mountain and were silent, they exuded a sharp aura like iron. Being surrounded by such an army in the middle made thousands of soldiers and civilians feel breathless and fearful, and all kinds of whimsical ideas followed.

Nanying really hated Jia Xu so much, everything was tossed by this old boy, which caught him off guard. At this moment, the poison man was smiling and standing far away, looking lively.

He secretly cursed in his heart, if this old boy can't give himself a reasonable explanation for a while, he must be in a dilemma of life and death.

Sighing helplessly again, Nanying waved his hand, and the huge team of seven or eight thousand people gradually began to move slowly.

All of a sudden, thousands of people were in mourning, and more than 1,000 soldiers also looked at death as if they were about to embark on the road of no return. Alas, it seems that this part of the journey is difficult to travel!

Nan Ying was bored in his heart, looked at Wang Ti who was gradually approaching, and frowned: "Wang Juncheng, you have to work!" Please go back! ”

Wang Lei shook it to the ground and said respectfully: "Please allow the grace of the envoy, and allow the officials to have the honor to send each other for ten miles!" ”

At this time, more than ten miles away from Nanzheng City, on the side of the water, more than ten dilapidated flat-bottomed boats slowly docked.

A brocade-clad boy jumped lightly without waiting for the boat to approach the shore, completely ignoring the mud staining his brand-new boots.

Although his face was still immature, there was a look of courage that made people dare not face it, showing a fortitude that did not match his age, and his eagle-sharp eyes carefully observed the situation around him.

In the distance, a few shrill waterfowl chirped from the reeds.

A hint of joy appeared on the brocade-clothed boy's face, and he inserted two fingers into his mouth, pursing his lips and letting out the same scream.

Several black-clothed teenagers emerged from the reeds and rushed over.

They all bowed respectfully to the brocade-clothed young man and said, "Big brother! ”

The young man in brocade said softly, and said in a deep voice: "How is the situation?" ”

A young man said excitedly: "Back to the eldest brother's words, the younger brothers have just found out that yesterday the 10,000 army of the Heavenly Master Dao suddenly waved the army to Nanzheng, and attacked for a day, and the victory was already in sight, but it was copied by a cavalry, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the army of the Heavenly Master Dao was killed without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

The brocade-clothed boy raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? The official army of Hanzhong actually has a brigade of cavalry? This is unheard of! ”

He thought for a moment and said, "So how is the Han army moving now?" ”

A thin young man hurriedly said: "Until two hours ago, the Han army still didn't make any moves, thinking that after the bloody battle, I was also anxious to rest!" ”

The young man in brocade laughed, stretched out his hand and patted the young man's head and said, "Silly brother! Two hours ago, it was still the middle of the night, and the Han army was also a human being, and he also had to sleep, so of course he would not take action! ”

The young man was unconvinced and said, "But big brother, you don't often teach us, saying that those who use soldiers are expensive and fast!" Now, the Han army has completely annihilated the main force of the Heavenly Master Dao under the city, and I heard that Zhang Xiu has been beheaded, and the entire Heavenly Master Dao can be said to exist in name only! Only Chenggu, Baozhong, and Chuyang still have a few remnants of the defeated army to defend the city, but they are just waiting to be killed! If I were a general of the Han army, I would take advantage of the victory! And it must be fast, without giving them any respite. In this way, Hanzhong can be determined! ”

The young man in brocade clothes had a bright eye, and cheered: "Okay, you Xiaofei, you just want it!" It's not a small growth! ”

The thin young man said proudly: "Of course, otherwise I, Su Fei, wouldn't I have followed a good big brother for nothing!" ”

The brocade-clothed young man laughed, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around his shoulder and said, "Okay! Good brothers! I'll test you again! If you are a general of the Han army, if you want to take advantage of the situation to capture the three cities of the Heavenly Master Dao now, which city should you attack first? ”

The thin young man thought for a while and said, "Then it depends on how the troops are, if the troops are sufficient, it is natural to divide the troops and attack at the same time." ”

He hesitated for a moment and said, "If the troops are weak, I can only attack first!" ”

The brocade-clothed young man was in high spirits and said, "Oh? Why not Chenggu? There is the farthest distance, and it can't echo with Baozhong and Canyang, isn't it the first choice? ”

The thin young man rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother is really good at laughing!" Although Chenggu is a lone army, there are still 4,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhang Lu, the No. 2 person in the Heavenly Master Dao, is in charge. If there are not enough troops, how can they be easily captured? It's just a matter of increasing the number of dead and wounded! ”

He said confidently: "On the other hand, the two counties of Baozhong and Chuyang are all Zhang Xiu's descendants, not to mention the loss of the main force, Zhang Xiu's death is bound to cause an unimaginable blow to them, at this time, I am afraid that it is already a mess, and it can be said that it can be broken with a snap of a finger." Among these two counties, the city defense of Baozhong is the weakest, and of course it is the best choice to attack! ”

The brocade-clothed boy laughed loudly, and the laughter spread far away, startling all the waterfowl in the reeds far away.

He laughed and said, "That's a good point!" Worthy of being my good brother! ”

A scorching battle intent flashed in his eyes: "Since you said that the Han army did not make any moves, then, let us help them complete this mission!" ”

Several teenagers exclaimed in unison: "Big brother, what are you talking about!" ”

The brocade-clad boy turned around and yelled at the boats lined up along the shore, "Brothers! It's out! ”

The curtains of more than a dozen small boats were lifted at once, and more than 100 teenagers of 16 or 7 years old jumped out of the boats one after another.

The brocade-clothed young man looked at the young and enthusiastic faces, slowly stretched out his right fist, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers! Today is the time for us to serve the court and become famous! Come on! Fight with me! ”

More than 100 bright steel knives were raised together, and more than 100 young voices converged into a majestic shout: "Fight!" ”

The southern eagle galloped on a low hill, looking at the long line that was difficult to take care of, and the heart was even more depressed, which had already set off for half a day, and had only traveled more than ten miles, according to this calculation, I was afraid that it would be three or five days later to return to the eagle's nest at the earliest.

A long-lost voice finally sounded behind him: "Lord, have you been waiting for my explanation?" ”

Nan Yingtou didn't reply: "Give you one last chance, if you can't convince me, be careful that I will give you another injection of that miracle medicine!" You can't survive, you can't die! ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "If I survive one more level, maybe I can become a flyless immortal and be immortal!" ”

Nanying said angrily: "Aren't you worried about turning into a green-haired monster?" ”

Jia Xu smiled, and finally said with plastic surgery: "Lord, aren't you strange?" Why can't I even look down on the 4,000 men and horses under Zhang Lu's command, but I only made a temporary decision and hit the idea of defeating these more than 1,000 remnants of the army? ”

Nanying snorted heavily from his nose and said, "Yes! And it also put on thousands of mouths for eating and drinking for nothing! What do I want these old and weak women and children to do? ”

Jia Xu sneered: "Lord, I have to say, you are still simple and cute in some aspects, if you don't have a deep meaning, how dare I make a mistake?" ”

His eyes flashed with deep worry: "As I said earlier, I am afraid that these more than 1,000 Han troops will expose the military secrets of my Eagle's Nest, and this reason is completely a pretense. In fact, we are now under the banner of the secret envoy of the Son of Heaven, and we are not afraid that someone dares to dig into the bottom of the inquiry, what can we worry about? Does anyone really dare to go to the Son of Heaven to find out our authenticity? No! No one dares to do this, and even if they do, the Son of Heaven will never condemn him, because we have indeed done the Son of Heaven a great favor by quelling the rebellion of the Heavenly Master Dao this time! What's more, the Son of Heaven also has a true affection for you. The real reason why I did this is that I am afraid that in the entire eagle's nest, only Zhongde can understand my mind! ”

Nan Ying was aroused by curiosity and wondered: "Why the hell? I really can't figure it out! ”

Jia Xu burst out two words: "Balance!" ”

Nanying blurted out: "Balance? What does that mean? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So, lord, you are still innocent!" ”

He looked in the direction of the eagle's nest from afar, and said faintly: "Have you never thought about what kind of people my eagle's nest is composed of?" ”

Nan Ying was shocked, and finally faintly grasped Jia Xu's true meaning.

Jia Xu looked at him quietly, nodded and said, "You finally understand!" Now there are 40,000 soldiers and civilians in my Eagle's Nest, including 23,000 Barbarians, 14,000 Wolves and Qiangs, and the Han people are only 3,000! Among the 4,000 soldiers, there were only more than 300 Han soldiers. Whether it is the military or the people, the Han people are not even a single percent! With such a disparity in proportion, are you really not worried at all? ”

Nanying's face turned pale and he was speechless.

Jia Xu sighed and said: "It's not that I'm seriously suspicious, in fact, after such a long time, these three clans have been fighting side by side, and they have already established a deep relationship. If you want to talk about people who are not of my race, their hearts will be different, and at this moment, even I can't say this sentence! ”

He paused and added, "But we can't help but face up to the fact that most of the leaders of the Eagle's Nest led by the lord are Han Chinese. We can temporarily lead these alien soldiers and civilians out of the bitter days of hunger and cold, but we can't always stay strong and lead them on the road to world domination! As they gradually rise to power and make outstanding achievements, there will definitely be an embarrassing situation in which the powerful minister overwhelms the lord! How will the lord face it? Do we want to take precautions and eradicate them one by one? ”

Jia Xu had a wry smile on his face: "Can't!" I can do this kind of thing, but you can't do it, my lord! ”

"The only way is to continue to absorb the Han people, increase the number of the Han people in the total population, especially the army, until they completely surpass the Bandun barbarians and the three wolf Qiang people, and form an alliance group dominated by the Han people in my eagle's nest! In this way, the soldiers and civilians of different races will unconsciously solidify the idea of serving the Han people, and our eagle's nest can put an end to the possible separatist crisis in the future! And this process must not be rushed, but can only be gradual, otherwise it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of people of insight in different races. This is what I call the way of equilibrium, and this way will also become the unchanging iron law of my eagle's nest in the future! ”

He said softly, "This is our best chance." It was easy to obtain more than 1,000 long-trained Han soldiers, which completely broke the situation of foreign races as the main force in our Eagle's Nest Army, and at the same time, introduced thousands of Han military dependents, greatly increasing the proportion of Han people in the total number. You say, how can I easily let go of such a good opportunity? I had to cut it first and then play it! ”

Nan Ying was sweating when he heard this, he was indeed too naïve before, thinking that he could use food and grace to tie tens of thousands of people of the three tribes together, but completely ignored the possible changes in the future. No matter how strong the fortress is, it will be easily destroyed from the inside, which is indeed the biggest crisis of the Eagle's Nest in the future.

He stayed for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Wenhe, Wenhe!" What would I do without you? ”

Jia Xu regained his usual composure and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, we are each other." The lord once said that the rumor is like drinking fine wine, and he is intoxicated! That is the world has Bole, and then there are Maxima, Maxima often has, and Bole is not often! ”

PS: Bai Xue is really panicked, Nanxi's old husband and classmate are already the fifth time to reward 588 starting coins! I am very grateful to you, and I would like to sincerely say to you: this book is not on the shelves yet, and I am really worried that I will not live up to your expectations.
