Chapter 159: Brilliant Blood
The end of this battle was only the beginning of the conquest of the deer.
At the foot of the mountain, after disarming, the deer people, who were forced to join hands, were escorted into the city. The city had already prepared a place of retention, right next to the corral.
After they are escorted in, they will be told how to sit together. If one person makes trouble or escapes, all ten people around him will be punished or executed. Ten people make trouble or run away, and the hundred people around them will be punished together, and a piece of meat will be cut off. If 100 people make trouble or flee, 1,000 people will be affected, and it is a hand or foot to cut off the mushrooms. If a thousand people make trouble or flee, they will kill all the captives of the deer, including the mushroom pickers.
At the same time, they were told that the mushrooms were recuperating on the hill outside the city. If she escapes, the remaining captives will die. Moreover, she had pneumonia, and she was already terminally ill, except that it was possible to cure it here, and she would die elsewhere.
There are some "smart" people in every tribe. The deer is no exception.
When these men saw that everyone had surrendered, they knew that the elephant cavalry would be difficult to match, so they also surrendered.
When they saw that they had surrendered, they only needed to disarm and not even have their hands tied, so they were ready to move. In their opinion, these tiger barbarians are really too stupid, as long as they dodge the elephant cavalry and say hello to their companions on both sides, won't they be free immediately, and then snatch the tiger barbarians' weapons, and then fight back?
Only two or three of the prisoners in each team of more than a dozen people were guarded, and the guards only kept reminding the prisoners to hold their hands tightly. Besides, there was no other defense, and they felt that it would not be difficult to escape.
However, when they formed a circle and entered the city hand in hand, they whispered to the two people around them to let go, only to find that the two stupid companions around them could not let go at the same time.
The escort can often quickly see the clue, and a knife or spear comes down and cuts the person to the ground. And, even if it is cut down, the person on the other side may continue to hold the corpse's hand.
As we entered the city, some people fell, reminding other smart people that this method was not feasible. They can only wait for other moments.
When they were imprisoned and the joint sitting law was announced, they found that there were even fewer so-called opportunities. The reason is that most of the people around me have become stupid companions.
Not to mention resisting, it is a little series to prepare to escape, or to make trouble in the city, and it will not be long before he will be denounced by these stupid companions who are afraid of death.
The accused will be dragged out and cut down. The whistleblower gets a few odd foods: stick-shaped, grainy-scented, old corn.
When night fell, countless torches were lit inside and outside the city, and there were countless bright lanterns sandwiched between the torches.
Torches and lanterns were constantly moving in and around the city, and people and information were constantly gathering and gathering between these lights.
Lin Ruins set up a tent on the hill outside the city and served as a temporary headquarters. It has also become a gathering place for lights, as bright as day.
"We lost two hundred and forty-eight men. Thirty-seven war elephants. About 320 of the wounded have been sent to the city for treatment. ”
"The interrogation revealed that about 17,000 people and 7,000 deer were dispatched. Almost all of them were south of the Thorn Line. ”
"Now our total number of prisoners is twelve thousand six hundred. The total number of deer captured was four thousand three hundred. ”
"The corpses of the sick deer people counted, including the seriously wounded, are 2,800, and the deer are 1,500."
"It is estimated that 1,600 people are still at large, and there are 1,200 deer."
Sixteen hundred men, and more than a thousand deer, were hiding in five or six hundred square kilometers of land south of the defensive line, and one bad could cause big trouble.
Lin Ji ordered: "Send a thousand more people with a smile to the front line of defense to prevent these people from escaping." Let the people of the city patrol continuously, without any relaxation. The Broken Tooth Department was divided into a team of 100 people to comb between the defense line and the city wall, and once it was found, it set off fireworks alarms and killed them. Others rested temporarily at the foot of the mountain or the city, waiting for the signal. ”
Broken Tooth felt that the killing was not enough, so he let him go on this trip.
Now there are only hills and darkness to cover the passages, and there are only a few small uninhabited villages, and if you search them, these people will definitely not be able to escape.
If they are willing to jump into a lake or enter a swamp at night, the forest trail is willing to let them go. It depends on whether they are brave enough or not.
Folded Tooth led the man down, lit the torch and began to comb.
Lin Ji put on his mask and went to the tent where he was picking mushrooms. In addition to the prisoners of war, Lin Ji wanted to leave some other people in the territory of the deer. These are best matched by mushroom picking.
In the tent, a nurse left behind by Shouli is changing the hanging of the mushrooms. The blood on Cai Rong's body has been wiped clean, and he is wearing a hospital gown to receive oxygen.
When Lin Ji entered, Cai Fu just woke up.
The effect of glucose and oxygen supply apparently made her body recover a little.
Cai Rong looked at a tent with a person wearing a mask, and blinked his eyes a few times. At the same time, I subconsciously want to remove the tube from my nose. As soon as she raised her hand, she realized that she also had a tube in her hand.
"If you want to live, it's better not to move. If you die, it's hard to say what will happen to these captives we capture. If you escape, I can tell you in charge, and I'll kill all the deer men I have caught now. ”
Lin Ji hit the flashlight on Cai Fu's face, looked at her complexion, and also took the earpiece to listen to Cai Fu's breathing and heartbeat.
He didn't study much of this, but he finally heard that Cai Fu's breathing was relatively stable, and his heartbeat was quite strong, so he shouldn't be able to die.
Lin Xi admired her tenacious vitality in his heart, and said out of tune in his mouth, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help but dislike the barren chest.
Of course, the words that don't make sense are obviously the most important. And no joke. The history of human conquest is a bloody one. When Lin Ji did not tell the leaders the story of Genghis Khan's conquest, when discussing how to assimilate the tribe of the deer, they proposed to kill all the men of the deer.
They may not realize that this is the best way to assimilate the race, and their starting point is that the women of the deer will naturally cling to them, so that they can avoid disasters to the greatest extent.
Later DNA tests have shown that this practice has had a great market in human history. Because it is true that there are many fewer types of men than women in the later generations.
Lin Xi did not adopt this suggestion because of the current small population. But if the mushroom pickers were rescued by the more than 1,000 sick deer people down the mountain, in order to avoid trouble, Lin Ji would not mind actually adopting this method.
Picking mushrooms didn't dare to move. The blood of the thirty people killed in cold blood in the afternoon may be at your feet.
The clever attendant who desperately stayed by Cai's side asked, "So what are you guys doing?" ”
For them, this kind of transparent tube is inserted around, which is really terrifying. Later generations who were put in a laboratory by aliens may feel the same way.
"I can't tell you. You know it's saving her. Lin Ji is too lazy to explain, and he really can't explain clearly.
However, Lin Ji still explained the condition of picking mushrooms: "Your disease is not small. In other words, people around you will have the same symptoms as you and will die at the same time. If you don't want the whole deer to die of coughing and coughing like you, you'd better be treated here for a few months and don't think about running. In a few days, when we are free, we will build you a house here. ”
"Of course, you don't have any crooked thoughts about going down the mountain to infect our people. If you dare to think so, well, or to say so, if you dare to go down the mountain before you get well, next time I will cut down ten of you. Cut twenty of them the next two times. This trick works so well that I'll use it a few more times. ”
In addition to the doctor, she ...... What is it called? Emerald #? That's called Xiaocui, she takes care of you. She is the same, if she dares to run around and make trouble, I will also cut people. ”
Cai Rong glared angrily at the forest traces, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
I haven't seen him for more than two years, and he is much more hateful than before. I knew this was the case, why did I run away instead of trying to kill him? Cai Fu felt remorseful in his heart.
After gossiping, Lin Ji began to get down to business: "If nothing happens, we will send someone to take over the entire territory of Jilu tomorrow morning. I need you to appoint a few respectable people to serve as my guides. You see? ”
The so-called guide is the one who persuades him to surrender.
Now almost all the men of the deer are here. There was no longer any problem in taking their stockade.
But Lin Ji is an economic person, and in his opinion, all people are useful. If you can die one less, you will die one less. Whether it's your own people or future slaves.
After all, if you attack, no matter how easy it is, you will inevitably die.
If some virtuous and respectable people lead the way and persuade them to surrender and join them as they wish, then these things can be avoided to the greatest extent.
Although Cai Fu knew that there would be this one, she still twisted her head away. She didn't want to cooperate.
Lin Ji sighed, in order to kill a few fewer people, he still decided to persuade this stubborn little girl first: "I came to discuss with you, it is really for your good, and it is also for the good of you people, don't know the hearts of good people." ”
"Come to think of it, most of your men are here now. We rode past on elephants, and will you women be able to defeat us? If that's the case, aren't you going to kill a lot of people? ”
"Now you send some leaders and make it clear to them that now the whole tribe of the deer has defected to me. Don't resist, be obedient, everyone will be well fed in the future, and there will be clothes to wear. How good is it that they can be spared from dying in battle? ”
"Oh, by the way, we're preparing for the founding of the country. It's a group of tribes coming together...... So you guys haven't surrendered yet. ”
"Let no resentment in your heart. You think, it's all like that now. Even if I don't want you to defect, the so-called hero leader in your north will let them go? Won't he attack the stockades one by one and force them to surrender? You will not die? ”
"I didn't understand how a person who raised starlings became a hero leader......
The bird that speaks is either a parrot or a starling. When Lin Ji heard these reports just now, he almost wondered if he had arrived in the cultivation world. Later, in the spirit of scientism, people asked two more questions, only to understand that it was a starling.
So, it's good to have a good mother.
It was also because he knew the existence of this person that Lin Ji knew that the matter of occupying the deer could not be delayed. God knows if this person will be the existence of the legendary Chiyou Yellow Emperor. If you go slowly, the salt mine of the deer may be given to him. When he turned back to the north of Gouhu, it became his land, and there was no place for him to cry in the forest tracks.
Hearing Lin Ji mention this person, Cai Rong's eyes flashed with hope, and he seemed to raise his neck. She felt that if there was any hope of defeating Lin Ji, it would be Bayang.
Lin Ji saw that he had been talking for a long time, and the effect seemed to be completely reversed, so he frowned again and said, "If you don't want to say it, let's play another game of beheading?" This time from forty people to chop? ”
One trick can be used all the time.
Lin Ji spread out the map, and with Xiao Cui's cooperation, he not only asked from Cai Fu's mouth who could help persuade him to surrender, but also improved his map and the detailed information of each village a lot. Of course, most of these things are said by Xiao Cui.
Sometimes clever people tend to think less about the consequences in order to show that they know more.
In this way, it only took Lin Ji more than half an hour to make the next plan to receive the entire territory of the deer.
Lin Ji ordered to go down, and immediately someone went to the prisoner camp in the city to bring out these persuaders. In front of Cai Fu, Lin Ji told them that the deer was willing to join the future kingdom, and after seeing Cai Fu nodding, they were naturally willing to "talk".
It's just that they ignore the statement that Lin Ji wants to make the deer into slaves and "work for a period of time for the defeat".
Cai Rong noticed this statement, but because Lin Ji had threatened to kill these people first as long as she didn't cooperate, she could only nod with hatred.
The men were trained, kept in solitary confinement, and given a small amount of food to wait for tomorrow's departure.
When Lin Ji was leaving, he said to Cai Rong: "You can think about it a little, you lost to me, it's really your luck." Although the process is somewhat painful, most people who are sick can still survive. As long as you get through it. The future will certainly be better than you are now. If you had been defeated by the others, there would have been few of you who would have survived today. Except for life and death, everything else is trivial. ”
Although the slaves lost their freedom, there were still a long slave ages in later generations, not that people were willing to be enslaved, but that this was really a little more advanced than primitive life, at least, it could feed more people.
Having come to this point, Lin Ji began to comfort himself like this.
He lifted the tent and went out, and outside the door, there was fireworks rising into the air.
"Wow." Xiao Cui let out an exclamation of amazement. Although today's experience is painful, she has really seen a lot of new things and new people.
Of course, she didn't know that under the brilliant fireworks was the blood spilled by the deer people.
