Chapter 12 Mind of a Thousand Miles

As soon as the people arrived, the news spread, obviously this was propagated by Feng Hao himself, wanting to coerce the public opinion of Yucheng, after all, Chen Jian talked about those things that everyone might not believe all day long, and if he didn't send troops, he would be slapped in the face.

For this kind of trick, Jian Chen smiled and didn't say anything, and asked someone to entertain Feng Hao.

"Leader Ji Xia, Windy City is dangerous, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken. also asked Ji Xia Nian to send troops to rescue the love of the Dahe tribes. ”

"The Dongyi tribes have been integrated so quickly?"

"Yes, there is a very powerful figure among the sons of the old leader of Dongyi, who was originally divided into a city of his own, with Qiong as his surname and Xi as his name. It is said that there were several chaotic battles on the Dongyi side, but many clan leaders supported Qiongxi. ”

"Dome?"

"Dongyi people are good at shooting, the sky is like a bow, and the dome is an honorific title in the Dongyi tribes, which means the best person to shoot. The meaning of the dome is that it can also shoot prey in the evening. I've just heard that he is good at archery, and how could he ever want to govern the city and integrate the various tribes with such means. ”

Feng Hao sighed, and said: "Now that the leader of Suyue is out on the expedition, I didn't have time to go to Sucheng to ask the leader of Ji Xia first, there are still thousands of clansmen in the city, and I also ask Ji Xia to remember the affection of the family!" ”

Chen Jian picked up Feng Hao and asked about the military strength of the Dongyi people this time, Feng Hao only said that he thought that Dongyi was powerful, so he did not think about foreign troops in the field but directly retreated to the city.

"The tribes were combined, to say the least, there were seven or eight thousand men, and there were many archers, and we were shot dead more than four hundred in one day of the siege. Their bows...... It's weird, it's curved on both sides. ”

Feng Hao drew an ugly recurve bow on the ground, and Jian Chen was not too surprised. There are bamboos and horns on the side of the Dongyi tribes, and there must be a lot of fish glue near the sea, so it is most suitable for making this kind of bow.

I'm afraid that the leader named Qiongxi is not only good at shooting, but also made this kind of bow with a recurved bow to have such a name. With the same power, the bow used by Yuxia was a foot longer than the bow that was recurved.

One weapon can't change anything, and Qiongxi's political skills must be mastered, but relying on bows and arrows may not be able to force it like this, so he asked one more question.

The place where the wind city was located was thick with mud, so the Dongyi people dug a tunnel into the city, although it was blocked, but they turned to dig the foundation of the city wall.

Feng Hao also knew that it might be difficult to hold on, so he quickly broke out of the encirclement with the help of the horses, otherwise there was only one possibility of being killed after the city was broken.

Jian Chen persuaded Feng Hao a few words, then asked him to rest first, and then summoned the people in the city to discuss countermeasures.

Several officers of the young black-clothed guards in Xia City, led by Ji Bai, quietly found Jian Chen and said, "Ji Xia, a good witch doctor, will never point out when a person's illness is revealed. Rather, it is necessary to wait until the person is sick and is about to die, and then he will be given medicine and his reputation will be revealed. ”

"Now that Xia Cheng is fertile and Yucheng is abundant, it is the time to be rich and powerful. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Su Yue's expedition to let the Dongyi people enter and capture the three or five cities. When the time comes, Zhuhua will panic, and we will send troops again, so that the Zhubu can be amazed and admired, and Ji Xia's reputation will not be weaker than Su Yue. ”

"Ji Xia likes the long run, in our opinion, making Ji Xia the leader of the tribes is the best for the relatives in the long run, and those relatives who have been plundered are like ...... The sacrifice is worth it in the long run. ”

"Moreover, Dongyi is powerful and has a sharp edge. If we capture the three or five cities, the spear will be dull, and the people will think of returning, and we can easily win. ”

These young people were the first to learn those dirty things from Jian Chen, and it was unreasonable to put forward such an opinion, Jian Chen smiled and was very relieved, and did not scold them.

These young people knew more or less about Jian Chen's ambitions, and also understood that the more fame and power Chen Jian had, the more troops he could command, and the greater the possibility of conquering the surrounding land and making meritorious deeds, and then they would be divided out.

Obviously, Xia Chengguan is not thousands of miles away, especially in the land of Yidi, there is constant resistance, the road is impassable, and if it is all controlled by Xia Cheng, there will be no good result at all.

Faced with such a proposal, Jian Chen only said: "Now is not the time, you are right, but you are too anxious." Besides, it's okay to think like this now, if our Xia City really becomes the head of the Great River Tribes in the future, and you divide it out, are you willing to be used as a sacrifice? ”

"How big the heart is, how great the merit is. If you really have such a mind, you will have to consider not only Yucheng Xia City in the future, but the entire Dahe Tribes, otherwise your horizons will be too small after all. ”

Several young people laughed: "Aren't we the heads of the ministries now?" Naturally, our minds changed......"

Jian Chen laughed and said: "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, where does it become so easy?" ”

Ji Bai shook his head and said, "It's not the same in other cities? Ji Xia asked about the war between Sucheng and Dongyi a few years ago, didn't Suyue say that Suyue had deliberately let go of some Dongyi people because Dongyi had made many cities seek alliances for the sake of Dongyi's threat? Furthermore, if Su Yue really believed that the intimacy of the clans could not be abandoned, where would he send troops to the cities that had withdrawn from the alliance before the army? It is precisely the ...... that should take advantage of the chaos after the death of the old leader of Dongyi to attack Dongyi."

These were all dark thoughts instilled by Jian Chen, Jian Chen smiled and waved his finger and said, "So he Su Yue has only a thousand miles in his mind, and he is destined to be the leader of a small alliance. And our mind should have thousands of miles, the coast of the East China Sea, the source of the great river, all in our hearts. If you don't even have a mind, how can you have vision? He Su Yue is old, I'm still young! ”

Ji Bai didn't say much, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yes, the leader is still young, why not himself?

"Ji Bai, you have been with me for a long time. From now on, you will treat our Xia Cheng as the head of the Zhuhua Alliance, and in the face of this matter, what should you do with such a vision? ”

Several people discussed in a whisper for a while, and finally Ji Bai summed up his opinions and said: "If Xia Cheng is the leader of the Zhuhua Alliance, he will naturally send troops to rescue." ”

"The Dongyi people obviously know about the expedition of the leader of Suyue, and they will not stop attacking Fengcheng, and they will definitely continue to advance westward. If we don't capture one of our relatives, they will have one more slave. By the time the leader of Suyue returned, it was already July, and autumn planting was needed in August, and it was rainy in September, and it was frosty and cold in October. If you want to fight back, you can only wait until next spring, and the Dongyi people have plundered so many slaves and worked for a year, and they can support more soldiers......"

Jian Chen smiled and said: "That's right, so if you have a thousand miles in your mind, you shouldn't be thinking about those flies and dogs." What should you do if you want to send troops? ”

Ji Bai's heart was pounding, since he joined the black-clothed guard for so long now, he has learned a lot from Jian Chen, this is the first time he has expressed his opinion, and he has taken out twelve points of ability to suppress his beating heart, but his voice trembled a little when he didn't want to speak.

"Five or six hundred miles from Windy City to Onozawa, to say the least, it will take seven or eight days. Besides, this time the Dongyi is very strong, and we can't only have three or five hundred people like the last raid, and the speed will be slow if there are more people. Moreover, the leader abandoned the city and ran away, but I was afraid that everyone's minds would be scattered, and when we arrived in Windy City, it would have been breached. ”

"Back then, Ji Xia defeated the Meteorite tribe and the White Horse attacked the grassland settlement...... The method used is pretty much the same. Qiongxi set out to fight, Dongyi City was empty, only women and children were left, old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were many slaves from our Great River tribes......"

"We have ships, gunpowder and ladders, so we can ignore the army of the dome and bypass them to attack Dongyi City. He knows that the news will be retreated, and we will plunder. If the dome retreats in a hurry, and the Dongyi soldiers are tired, we will ambush them halfway. Even if it can't be completely destroyed, it can be defended by the city, at least it can allow the dome to exchange the people who have been plundered by the Wind City. ”

"If we don't retreat, we will continue to attack Dongyi City. Bypass those cities that oppose Qiongxi and attack those cities that support Qiongxi, but I am afraid that if he does not retreat at that time, the leaders of the Dongyi tribes may not be his. ”

After finishing speaking, he peeked at Jian Chen with some anxiety, and when he saw Jian Chen clapping his hands and complimenting, his heart relaxed, and he only felt as if the pores of his whole body were stretched.

"Well said. As you said, if we want to win, we have to be as fast as possible, but where do the soldiers come from? Now there are thousands of Xia Cheng people in the city, but most of them must be left. There were 400 black-clothed soldiers from Xia City, and 700 soldiers from the rest of the cities that I had trained, but I couldn't use them, and they couldn't listen to me. ”

Ji Bai muttered, "Aren't there still those workshop workers?" They are all light and strong, and they can already hear the drum whistle in August last year, and now they have been training for half a year, and they are the most suitable for pressing the formation. ”

Jian Chen shook his head and said: "This can't be done, they said at the beginning that they would never go out to fight for ten miles in Onozawa." If I force them to go on the march, I am still unstable with these two thousand men, and where can I use the disgruntled soldiers? ”

Ji Bai gritted his teeth and said: "Our black-clothed guards have already secretly discussed, and there will definitely be many battles in the future, and what they ask for is the identity of a countryman." Now there are many workshops, and they earn a lot of money a year, so they are given a Chinese identity...... And how? ”

"Moreover, this group of people is not afraid of death, and they are willing to do things, which is completely different from other slaves. At the beginning, they all risked their lives to escape, and if such people become countrymen, they are the best soldiers. ”

Jian Chen only talked about strategy and tactics to the black-clothed guards, and rarely talked about conflicts of interest and the like, so he asked rhetorically, "What can it be?" At once, there were 8,000 more people, public property was divided, and military merits were awarded...... If you are a countryman, you can participate in national politics, study in the academy, accumulate meritorious deeds, and even become an official. There are more wolves and less meat, so naturally there will be people who are unwilling. ”

"The reason why you are willing is because your surname is Ji and you are my relative. You are a black-clothed guard, you can accumulate merits with your military exploits, of course, I hope that more spearmen will cover the flanks for you, but what about those who are not surnamed Ji? What about those who are so high-ranking and have a high profit share in public property? What about those who already have meritorious lands, do not want to be ambitious, and only think about the slaves of Qianbei? What about those who aspire to be elected to the rank of official, or even to make their children an official? ”

Ji Bai stepped aside gloomily, only to feel that Jian Chen's tone was very tired, as if he was a little tired. He also knew that it was okay for him to think about war, but he was afraid that he would not be able to figure out these things and would not speak.

As everyone knows, Jian Chen secretly snickered in his heart, what he was waiting for was the attitude of this group of off-duty soldiers, since this matter would be done sooner or later, it would be better to let this group of soldiers think first, and once something really happened, they would be able to make a choice instantly.
