Saying that, Yang Yi nodded his finger to the bull, and Tie Niu had to take the big knife and walk to the side of a strong man on the edge with a smile, and then raised the knife holder on his neck.

The big man who spoke in the middle finally closed his mouth, just staring at Yang Yi's eyes with even more anger and despair.

Yang Yi nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The strong man was furious, looked at the iron bull staring at him and the big knife in his hand on his companion's neck, almost squeezed out three words between his teeth, and said: "Zmoyo"

Yang Yi nodded again, as long as he could understand what he said, it would be easy to do, and after thinking about it, he said to Nazi Moyo: "You listen, I will only say it once, it is up to you to decide whether you and your companions live or die." ”

Regardless of whether Zi Moyo agreed or not, Yang Yi said to himself: "I want to see your leader Shama Nagu." ”

Without even thinking about it, Zmoyo gritted his teeth and said, "Hugh... Think! He thought that Yang Yi wanted to kill Shama Naigu.

Yang Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to reject me first, I see that your leader has no other meaning, just a simple conversation, you can understand it as peace, and the way to meet is determined by Shama Naigu, of course, the premise is that I must feel reasonable." ”

Zmoyo obviously didn't expect Yang Yi to have the intention of making peace, paused, and was about to speak, but Yang Yi said again: "I'll give you three days, and I will get an answer after three days." As he spoke, he pointed to the group of Han men who were tied up and said, "If you come a day late, I will kill someone, and if you haven't brought news within ten days, you won't have to come." ”

Immediately, Yang Yi said to the monkey on the side: "Let him down, give him a bowl of rice to eat, and then let him leave." After saying that, he ignored Zmoyo's heart-rending scolding, turned and left the room.

Of course, Yang Yi didn't eat too much to support this, and in the past few days since he entered Connecticut, he already has a general understanding of the Di people.

Since ancient times, the Zhen people have been very martial, and they value affection and trust, and are very friendly to friends, but they are merciless to enemies.

The leader of this generation of the Zheng tribe, Shama Naigu, is not very old, only about 30 years old, is the son of the leader of the previous generation, he inherited the tradition of his father and the Zheng people, not only brave and good at war, but also attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has a very high prestige among the Zhen people.

Such a young and vigorous stunned youth, as long as Zmoyo brings his own information, Yang Yi is very sure that he will agree to his meeting.

This is actually Yang Yi's last resort, now that the war in Kangzhou Mansion is rotten, the angry Zhen people have occupied a large area of land, if it weren't for Ma You's quick opportunity to withdraw most of the Kangzhou Army to Kangzhou City, I'm afraid Yang Yi has now become the commander of the light pole.

Yang Yi still didn't know what Tao He wanted to do, but judging from the current situation, he was forcing himself to fight with the Di people.

Since he didn't know the enemy's final plan, the only way was not to follow the enemy's routine, which was obvious, since Tao He wanted the Connecticut chaos, then Yang Yi had to quickly quell the Connecticut war.

And in Yang Yi's view, whether it is the Zhen people or the Guang people, they are their future people, future soldiers, and each of them is so precious.

Gao Zuozhen, Yang Yi will not mind how many corrupt officials like Dou Xu die, he will only clap his hands in his heart, even if they don't die, Yang Yi will get rid of them after sitting in Shuzhong, and then he will have to think about the problem of not being able to lose the tail, they will die in the fight at this time, Yang Yi is naturally the most happy.

But these people and soldiers have long become Yang Yi's heart, and now Shuzhong is like a rice tank, and the people and soldiers are the white rice in the rice tank, Yang Yi will have to point to them to live in the future, and he will be heartbroken if he has one less grain at this time.

The already small population of Shuzhong is pitiful, how can it withstand the toss of a meat grinder like war? Therefore, no matter what, Yang Yi must prevent this war from continuing to expand.

The next day, Yang Yi took Monkey Jian'er and others to various city walls early in the morning to check the city defense, and began to understand the deployment of Connecticut and Connecticut troops.

"There are 27 counties under the jurisdiction of Kangzhou Prefecture, with a population of nearly 110,000, of which 38,000 are of the Zhen nationality, who have lived in Lin'an and the two large counties in the south for a long time.

In the nearly month since the rebellion, the Di people have occupied most of the county towns in the southwest of Connecticut, and now only the fourteen counties in the north and east are still under our control. ”

Ma You followed behind Yang Yi, reporting on the situation in Connecticut, and leading Yang Yi to inspect the city defense in various places.

"How many troops do we have now?" Yang Yi walked with his hands behind his back and asked sideways.

Ma You replied: "The Kangzhou army originally had more than 30,000 people, and not long ago it lost nearly 10,000 people in the battle with the Zhen people, and now excluding the defense forces of each county, the maximum force we can use is about 15,000 people. ”

"Nearly 10,000 people were lost in just one battle?" Yang Yi turned his head and stared at Ma You with some surprise, and wondered.

Ma You thought that Yang Yi was blaming him, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the general!" ”

Yang Yi glanced at Ma You, who bowed down, he had already sent Monkey Jian'er to inquire about Ma You, according to the generals of the Connecticut army, Ma You does not like to use dangerous tricks, and he is a cautious general. It is said that not long ago, if it weren't for Ma You, the Connecticut Army might have been wiped out, and his reputation for prestige in the Buckshire Army was good.

And after observing for a few hours, Yang Yi found that this Ma You still has some talent for leading troops, at least the defense of Connecticut City is still basically in place, and there are few loopholes.

Seeing that Ma Youbai confessed his guilt, Yang Yi immediately waved his hand and said: "You misunderstood what I meant, I was just a little surprised that the Di people were so strong, I heard that they only had more than 10,000 soldiers to fight?" ”

Ma You glanced at Yang Yi with some strange eyes, and saw that Yang Yi only had a puzzled expression but no sense of blame, and hurriedly said: "The Di people have been fierce and good at fighting since ancient times, especially the battle in the mountains and forests is more terrifying, in the words of the Di people, they have the protection of the mountain gods, as long as there are mountains, they will be invincible." ”

Yang Yi nodded, and said to himself with a little excitement: "Whew... The elite mountain division that has been reorganized is definitely a treasure, and sooner or later it will have to be Lao Tzu. ”

Seeing Yang Yi's eyes shining, Ma You muttered something to himself, and said strangely: "My lord...?" ”

Yang Yi smiled and said, "What is the current military goal of the Zhen clan?" Just to take revenge on my head? ”

Ma You hesitated and said: "Since Emperor Taizu, the people of the Zhen tribe have never been at peace, and this time the general... The general took the lead in starting a war with them, I am afraid that it has aroused their ambitions, and they must take the Connecticut Mansion, and the general will not be able to say what will happen after that. ”

Yang Yi couldn't hear the blame for his "culprit" in Ma You's words, and now the whole Connecticut was scolding him.

Yang Yi felt that the ambitions of the Di people were probably not only in Kangzhou Mansion, they controlled nearly half of Shuzhong a few decades ago, and even if it wasn't for Tao He's arrival, even Chengzhou Mansion would have been occupied by the Di people.

So, what made Tao He, the original peacemaker, release this group of wild beasts with his own hands at this time? Yang Yi really couldn't figure out how much interest was enough to make Tao Hexing such a risky move.

"General, if the Zhen people are really mad to attack Kangzhou City, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long, I don't know when Lord Assassin Shi will send reinforcements?" Ma You worried.

Since the Zhen people killed out of the mountain, Ma You would send an urgent military report to Chengzhou Mansion for help almost every day, but he only hoped for Yang Yi and dozens of people, and the rescue army was still nowhere to be found.

Yang Yi didn't tell Ma Youkang that the state government has now been locked up in the Colosseum by Tao He, let alone reinforcements, it may be impossible to escape, and the only way is to subdue the beast of the Zheng tribe.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, you see that I am here, and the reinforcements will naturally come, but my opinion is very clear, if you can turn the conflict into a jade silk, everyone will put down the knife and shake hands with a friendly attitude, this is the best result." The swords and soldiers never die when they see each other, and they will never take that step until they are forced to do so. ”

Ma You glanced at Yang Yi suspiciously, and said in his heart: "Didn't you provoke the war?" At this time, how can you turn the war into jade silk again. ”

Ma You thought about it and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy, if the people of the Zhen tribe are so good at succumbing, they won't be tossed in Shu for hundreds of years." ”

Yang Yi smiled, he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted the Zhen people to put down their knives, the entry point must be on their leader Shama Naigu, and only by convincing this person could the war have any hope of stopping.

"If there is a man from outside the city who wants to see me in the next few days, you will let him in."

"The people of the Zhen tribe want to see the general?" Ma You exclaimed.

Yang Yi nodded and said, "When the time comes, you can just bring it over to see me." ”

Yang Yi didn't know if Shamanagu would agree to see him, but Zmoyo was sure to come back, even if he didn't invite Shamanaigu, he would still come back to save his partner.

Sure enough, on the third day after Zmoyo left, the guy returned, and not alone.

But when Zmoyo led a sloppy long-bearded Taoist priest to Yang Yi, Yang Yi was a little disappointed, Shama Naigu could definitely not be a Taoist priest.

"Poor Dao has seen the commander." The long-bearded Taoist priest brushed the dust with a smile on his face and saluted Yang Yi.

Before Yang Yi could speak, Zmoyo next to the Taoist priest chattered and talked to the Taoist priest, and then anxiously motioned to the Taoist priest to translate the words to Yang Yi.

"My lord, Zmoyo said that he did as you commanded, and is his companion still safe?" The Taoist priest looked at Yang Yi and asked.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "I've always been a talker, and those people of the Zhen tribe were raised by me for nothing, and their lives are good." ”

Hearing this, Zmoyo hurriedly said, "I... Want... See..."

Yang Yi waved his hand and motioned for Monkey Jian'er to take him to meet the assassins of the Zhen Clan. Zmoyo didn't hesitate to follow Monkey Jian'er away, seemingly not worried about the safety of the bearded Taoist priest at all.

Yang Yi leaned back in his chair, stroked the fat coffee in his arms, looked at the long-bearded Taoist priest and asked, "The Taoist chief won't just come to be a translator, right?" ”

The bearded man smiled and replied, "Of course not, Poor Dao was also entrusted by the leader of Shamanaigu to give a word to the lord. ”

"What?"

The long-bearded Taoist priest paused, looked at Yang Yi and said with a smile: "Your Excellency's head, the people of the Di clan are going to be decided...."
