Chapter 68: The Great Leader of the People's Heart
You can use javelins and bows and arrows to hit the army on the outer wall above the platform, but Yang Jiao has to take a detour from a path on the side to attack it, I have to say that this is a natural fortress terrain, after taking the recrossing river valley, even the strength of the castle site selection is saved, and it is right to build a city here.
Although everyone had the ability to attack it, they were stopped by Yang Jiao.
On the platform were all old and young women and children of the tribes that crossed the river, and now the remaining warriors had retreated to it.
Attacking at this time, the other party will fight against the enemy in order to protect his relatives and friends.
The siege and the use of starvation to force the defenders to surrender were the usual methods of the besieging side, but Yang Li did not intend to use them.
Because firstly, the two armies are staring at each other, and all they consume is food, and secondly, it is now the time of autumn logging and hunting, preparing materials for the winter, nearly 300 men are stranded outside for a day, and what is wasted is a whole day's labor, which is a big loss for Yang Jiao, the stingy village chief.
"Hey, who, Xuanyuan Guang, you come over to me!" Yang Li ran into a tent and kicked Xuanyuan Guang in the corner.
Xuanyuan Guang hurriedly got up and laughed: "Big leader, what's the matter." ”
Anyway, why did this Xuanyuan Guang come, this guy has low subjective initiative, except for the occasional convulsions and will work hard, he is usually thinking about life, planning to travel and sharing the story he just made up with the world, where is he willing to participate in the war, but the few Xuanyuan clan people who stayed with him are not a character.
These people are rigorous and pragmatic, and they want to understand why the Luohe regime has risen to such a point in such a short period of time.
Just now they witnessed Yulia's sniping a hundred meters away, and they were so frightened that they almost knelt down and said that the elder had received the supernatural powers, and I waited for it.
As for returning to the Xuanyuan clan, word of mouth said that it was the daughter-in-law of the great leader of Los Angeles who had green fangs, yellow hair and blue eyes, and a magic pestle in his hand that could lead to the thunder and split the people who did not want to make progress.
So Xuanyuan Guang also came with the team on this trip, he no longer had the enthusiasm that lived up to the head of the young man, and he was accompanied by his stout second cousin Jiang Huahua.
Jiang Huahua suffered from Stockholm syndrome after being kidnapped, and was so in love with Xuanyuan Guang that she was by her side whenever and wherever she was, taking good care of her, and everyone called it really a pair made in heaven, just like the screws with nuts, sockets with plugs, and turtles with hammers.
But when Yang Li went down, Jiang Huahua dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, because her favorite fat meat on weekdays was given by Yang Li.
Leader Yang asked kindly: "Comrade Xuanyuanguang, you must have a lot of experience from a hard labor prisoner to a free man, right?" ”
Xuanyuan Guanglian claimed that the democratic policies of Zhiquluo City were good.
"That's right, I also think that you young man is particularly conscious," Yang Jiao pressed his hand on Xuanyuan Guang's shoulder, "So the organization has decided, and the task of persuading the Yu Party to surrender to the rest of the river will be handed over to you." ”
Xuanyuan Guang was very modest, and hurriedly said that this is not good, I can't do the things that are prescribed.
Yang Jiao looked at Jiang Huahua and said It's better to be like this, girl, you persuade him, in view of the relationship between you and me, I will go out of the tent for a while.
Yang Li walked out of the tent, and heard a burst of ping-pong bells from inside, mixed with a few screams that were silenced, which gradually subsided, and under the inspiration of the fat meat, Jiang Huahua persuaded Xuanyuan Guang with reason.
The little couple came out of the tent, Xuanyuan Guang was in high spirits, and said that I had a sudden inspiration just now, that is, to persuade me to surrender, even if I put the knife on my neck now, it can't stop me.
Yang Li said that this is the right boy to change his evil spirits, I have prepared props and dubbing for you, hurry up.
With the sound of gongs and drums, Xuanyuan Guang hid behind a bunker erected by several wooden planks, and shouted to it with a trumpet-like megaphone rolled up with a few broad-leaved sycamore leaves.
"Listen up, folks, I'm Xuanyuan Guang, and I used to be a slave!"
Yang Li was shocked, I have always used a nice name to the outside world, calling slaves slaves hard servants, how did this kid know the correct name.
Forget it, let him go.
Xuanyuan Guang continued to shout: "Look at me now, if I want to have a status and a wife, I just need a child and a school district house, you can do it by farming and hunting?" He can't! ”
A group of people had already gathered on the platform, craned their necks to look down, bows and arrows and javelins in their hands hanging down, not ready to attack.
There are many reasons not to attack, such as the bunker is still relatively strong, and the elite of Los Angeles is temporarily evacuated, but the main reason is because Xuanyuan has small arms and legs, and a harmless expression on his face.
Xuanyuan Guang saw that the audience had increased, and his spirit was up, his face was full of red light, and his shouting was even more hoarse: "It's all up to our Yang Jiao Yang Chief, he got a yield of 100,000 catties per mu, he defeated 100,000 black blood soldiers, I, Xuanyuan Guang surrendered to him, it's really the most correct choice in this life!" ”
Yang Jiao pouted in the back, and said in his heart that your kid is not going back to the Xuanyuan clan, but I still wish you would leave quickly.
Xuanyuan Guang didn't know Yang Li's thoughts, he was like a river, and when he talked about emotion, he burst into tears, and praised the slavery in Los Angeles as a good system that is unique in heaven and earth.
Under this system, slaves could work happily without worrying about their lives, and they paid nothing more than a trivial amount of freedom, such as Xuanyuan Guang himself claimed that he did not need freedom at all.
Under this system, slaves can become slave owners, but it's simple, just go to the battlefield and kill a few enemies, for example, Xuanyuan Guang himself once killed all sides and defeated the 800,000 army of 18 mountains, if it wasn't for the Xuanyuan clan to call him back, he would have been the deputy head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Los Angeles.
Tsk, it's a pity, Xuanyuan Guang is really in love and can't help himself: "Fathers and fellow villagers, what are you still hesitating about, don't wait for the expiration, click to grab, miss today, wait another year!" Come join me in Los Angeles, fat cattle and sheep, fertile land is waiting for you, as long as you work for the big leader for a while, you can live a life ten times better than now! ”
The people of the tribes on the platform immediately talked about it.
Of course, the Xiling clan would rather be broken than broken, and want to fight to the death.
But the problem was that the chief of Xiling brought people from other tribes in order to gather all the living forces to fight against Yang Jiao.
The residents of other tribes don't have a homeland complex, and their hometowns are now in the hands of Yang Jiao, so they were a little hesitant, plus Xuanyuan Guang's ability to skillfully share the story he just made up, he drew them a golden and soft flatbread, and he was moved at the moment.
There was a disagreement on the platform, and a quarrel began, and the conflict occurred between the Xiling clan and other clans.
Some people said that you look at the obscene guy below can mix like a dog, we are all men who can go into battle and kill, how can we be worse than him under Leader Yang
Another part of the people said that the guy below must have been sent by the enemy army to entertain our family, and as soon as he laid down his arms and surrendered, he hung up the street lamp after a democracy came on the other side and hanged everyone to death.
Yang Jiao began to be entangled when he saw it, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and personally came over to persuade him to ensure the safety of the people who crossed the river, not to carry out cleaning, not to suppress rebellion, and to sign a contract, with a probationary period of three months, and then turn into a slave after the work, ah no, a hard labor prisoner, and then work happily.
The trapped people were even killed by the chieftain, but in fact, they didn't have much opinion, and after a while, they said that they would discuss it all night and give an answer tomorrow morning.
Yang Jiao expressed his approval, and also asked people to carry melons, fruits and grains to show friendship, and the tribes of Chongdu River also repaid virtue with virtue and sent Uncle Mi and his party back, but they were not abused, but they did not eat well in the past few days, and they lost weight from hunger.
From the lord's point of view, it is not necessary to avenge the death of his men in battle, or to punish the conquered tribes for the sake of Los Angeles.
Sitting in this position, it is more about considering interests, rather than ethereal things, and it will not be like a puppet who is angry and angry.
If Yang Jiao is still a hot-blooded teenager with empty hands, he may say, ah, I want to vent my anger to Los Angeles, if you offend my prospecting team, I will kill your whole family.
It's not like this, the ruler is more inclined to maximize interests, so Yang Li is still the same Yang Li, but in a different position, he thinks differently.
As a lord, he will take more into account the development of the economy and production.
There were five or six hundred people on it, that is, five or six hundred laborers, and if they were to be stormed, they might have to kill a hundred of them, but in fact they would have gained more than four hundred laborers, and they had lost a large number of young men. At the same time, the men who died in battle were not able to fully take revenge.
But if you are persuaded to surrender and do not do the massacre of the barbarian era, the disadvantage is that the mood of your subordinates may not be so high, but in exchange for a larger population.
There are pros and cons to both options, and what Yang Li has to do is nothing more than weigh the pros and cons, and then choose the more favorable option, and the judgment needs to reduce his subjective likes and dislikes as much as possible.
However, the above is just talk, and Chief Yang is not the kind of person who I can talk about a whole day after I simply say a few words.
"Fellow, surrender to me Yang Jiao, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but the rations are full. If you can hunt, you can also join the hunting team in Los Angeles and enjoy preferential treatment! In short, there is a large amount of flat and fertile land on the banks of the Luo River waiting for you to reclaim, and the grain I gave you this time is grown on those lands. ”
The people on the platform found that the grain sent by Yang Li not only contained millet, but also soybeans that they had never seen before, once cooked, the taste was good, and eating it could not only satisfy hunger, but also have a lot of strength, which was incredible, so they were even more shaken.
That night, more than a dozen people jumped off the platform and threw themselves into Los Angeles.
The next morning, the gang nibbled on millet buns in their hands, and the meat buns were fragrant, and the lean wild boar meat was sandwiched inside, which was really mouth-watering.
Seeing that the prisoners were treated so well, the people who had planned to put forward some conditions before surrendering suddenly lost their will, and said one after another, go down the mountain, what Xiling chief, see you in the next life.
So Yang Jiao paid the price of more than 10 people killed in battle and more than 30 injured to take the Chongdu River Valley.
This harvest is quite rich, the most important is the azurite mine, which is obviously more than ten times larger than the Lieshan tribe, and can launch hundreds of people to mine, even if there is no mining pit at present, judging by the naked eye, the copper production is enough to support the bronze demand of the entire Los Angeles.
