Zhou Zhi's words deeply shocked Jia Kui, he never thought that this expedition would be so complicated, even beyond the scope of his comprehension.

Since ancient times, there have always been Han people attached to powerful foreign groups, and the number is not small, either because of poverty, or because of war, or because of survival, or because of plunder, in short, for various reasons, so that they finally integrate into the grassland, which has existed since ancient times.

But there has never been a Han general who would take the initiative to integrate into it and use the rules and survival methods of the grassland people to achieve his ultimate goal.

At this time, Jia Kui finally understood more deeply why the high-level civil and military forces of the Chu State did not agree with many of Zhou Zhi's practices, but they always respected him and liked him!

This is because Zhou Zhi always makes the strangest moves at the most critical and important times, perhaps his actions are incomprehensible to many people, and even difficult to accept, but I have to say that when you judge with reason, you will find that its method is really a shortcut, and the impact is huge enough.

Jia Kui is a person with extraordinary talents, both civil and military, so his vision is naturally very high.

Although he respected Zhou Zhi earlier, he always stubbornly believed that Zhou Zhi was a close confidant of Wang Xu because he followed Wang Xu early, accumulated a lot of merits, and was an old confidant, so he was able to hold the position of General Wei and take charge of one of the three major generals' mansions of Chu State, with a high position. Wang Xu's praise, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other old ministers of Chu are all for this reason.

But now he finally realized that this is not only the reason!

Zhou Zhi may not be as conspicuous as Gao Shun and Zhao Yun and others, but he will always use ways that others can't think of or dare to do at critical times. Go and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Jia Kui carefully recalled what he knew about Zhou Zhi's deeds. Immediately discovered. In his life, he almost never singled out the town, and did not win any famous battles alone, but in every large-scale war of the Chu State, almost all of his voice and shadow were there, and every time he made a move, it must be to solve the most troublesome problem of the Chu State, and he always gave the enemy a sharp blow when the war fell into a tug-of-war. Let the balance of victory gradually tilt in favor of the Chu State.

The characteristics of danger, oddity and stitching have run through Zhou Zhi's decades of career!

Who doesn't like such a general? Compared to the generals who have achieved famous victories on their own, any lord often prefers this kind of person who can solve his problems for him!

Because this kind of person will not tell the lord how to fight, but always help solve the problem under the strategic goals set by the lord.

At this moment, Jia Kui's heart was really convinced, and he finally understood what Guo Jia and others often laughed at: If Chu is a martial arts master, then General Zhou is the only hidden weapon, and it is difficult to use it when attacking and defending, but if not. The lord will be very unsteady in his heart!

This sentence turned out to be not just a compliment, but a genuine thing!

Since then, Jia Kui has no doubts. Start doing your best to help Zhou Zhi!

In the next few days, Jia Kui slowly understood the true meaning of more of his actions in the process of helping Zhou Zhi, which seemed to be a lot of crazy behaviors, but they were really useful.

The soldiers of the Chu State who followed them were all carefully selected elite cores, even including Zhou Zhi's two thousand greedy wolf guards and Jia Kui's two thousand Qingyun horses, although they could firmly obey the order and keep their new identity and new mission in mind, but they were always very suspicious in their hearts, they didn't know the future, they didn't know the goal, and they didn't know why it took up to half a year to assemble in batches to the grassland! I don't even know how to become a rebel of Chu State for some reason!

They are afraid of revealing their identities on the grassland, afraid of these days without support, they are doubtful, sorrowful, fearful, depressed, confused, and at a loss! And such a warrior is bound to have no combat effectiveness, let alone complete the expected secret mission, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even survive on the grassland!

When Jia Kui completely stood on Zhou Zhi's side and thought, he gradually understood that many crazy actions were actually to change these things.

When Zhou Zhi arrived at the assembly site, he suddenly told all the soldiers that we were already rebels, and if we wanted to survive, we could only gain a foothold on the grassland!

At that time, Jia Kui and Zhou Zhi also had a fierce dispute in private about this matter, but in fact, Zhou Zhi did this in order to cut off the resistance of the soldiers to march into the grassland.

Because this sentence can make the soldiers lose their way out in an instant, they have to go if they don't go, and if they don't follow them on this grassland, they won't be able to live at all, and at the same time, they can be more cautious and careful, remember their new identity, and spontaneously keep their mouths, after all, the identity of the soldiers of the Chu army is leaked, and they will die soon, and their lives are involved, so they can naturally keep the secret!

In addition, he used singing and amusing to relieve the pressure of the soldiers, and subtly influenced everyone with his optimistic attitude.

He freed the soldiers to their heart's content, lived according to the rules of the steppe people, allowed them to fight bravely for women, fought for property, and gave them a reason and pursuit to persist in living. In a very short period of time, he made these soldiers of the Chu State, who were full of doubts and fears, spontaneously forget the past and began to live on the grassland.

People change with the circumstances, survival is the first need of people, Zhou Zhi used this to control the entire army!

In the next half month, he led the crowd to swallow four small tribes one after another, merged their living warriors, distributed the spoils evenly, let those single women choose warriors, and allowed the warriors with the greatest merit to give priority to women and property, which is also the consistent style on the grassland.

In a short period of time, almost all of the original Chu troops have subconsciously forgotten the past and integrated into a new life, and they are mixed with real foreigners, and it is difficult to distinguish them.

Perhaps, only in the middle of the night, they will be in a corner under the moonlight, thinking of their hometown, missing their relatives, and crying silently!

By the end of April, Zhou Zhi's tribe had developed into a tribe of more than 20,000 strong warriors, including the Qiang, Hu, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Ding Ling, as well as many women, children, and slaves.

In fact, their new tribe had long been known to Tuoba Xianbei, but they were not motivated by pure attack. It's about surviving and growing. Therefore, it did not cause Tuoba Xianbei and other large tribes to immediately send troops. Instead, they continue to monitor and observe, after all, on the grassland, such mobile migrations are frequent, and they need to find out where each other is coming from.

Tuoba Tribe, Council Hall!

"Father, the tribe led by the Han people, the child still thinks that it should be eradicated immediately, and the child is willing to lead the tribe. Defeat it in one fell swoop! ”

A middle-aged man full of muscles, so strong that he felt very oppressive, was murderous, and his words were fierce. This person is none other than the eldest son of the current Tuoba Xianbei Lord Tuoba Jiefen. In the pronunciation of the Xianbei language, bald hair is similar to Tuoba, but it can be transliterated into Chinese characters to become such a name, which seems a little strange.

This is not a small person, this man is brave and good at fighting, and he is one of the strongest warriors of Tuoba Xianbei now.

In history, because Tuoba Jiefen finally passed on the throne to the second son Tuoba Liwei. So the bald Pigu led his own tribe and migrated further west. is considered to be independent, but he has not had a slight relationship with Tuobali, and he has another identity, that is, the eighth ancestor of the bald and lonely founder of Nanliang during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms in later generations.

As he spoke, Tuoba Jiefen, who was already a little old, frowned, and his expression seemed to be a little displeased.

Just before he could speak, another big man sitting opposite the bald Pi Gu couldn't help but speak.

"Pigu! Your tribe seems to have expanded a little too fast lately? Already caused a lot of tribal dissatisfaction? ”

This big man is none other than the second son of Tuoba Jiefen, who is deeply valued by Tuoba Liwei, brave and good at fighting, loves to read Chinese books, and knows how to strategize. Historically, this second son is the successor of Tuoba Xianbei, and the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Jue, is his descendant.

At this time, Tuobali's slightly hidden questioning words suddenly made the bald man dissatisfied, and he said loudly at the top of his voice: "Prairie boy, strength is respected, they can't beat me, shouldn't they be merged?" Isn't it a good thing that the tribe is strong? ”

"Humph! Reckless fellow, do we now have the strength to annex all the tribes? Have you ever thought of causing public outrage with such a massive merger? There is still that guy in Putou in the northwest, if all the tribes are forced by you to cling to him, how can we Tuoba Xianbei match him? ”

"Liwei, you are just grinding like the Han people, and you are stupid to read the books of the Han people! Where are there so many bends? The strength of our tribe itself is strong, are you still afraid of him? At the beginning, Lord Tanshi Huai unified Xianbei, wasn't it because his tribe was strong enough? ”

"Stupid! Lord Tanshi Huai is eloquent, how can you compare? Tuobali said slightly annoyed.

"Why can't it be compared?"

"Enough! Don't be disrespectful to Lord Sandalwood. ”

Tuoba Jiefen, who sat on the top position, finally couldn't stand the quarrel between the two, and stopped drinking. He is an old man, when the commander of Tanshi Huai Xianbei was the strongest, he was young, so he was very revered in his heart, at that time, the five Western adults were Zhizhi, Luoluo, Rilu, deduction, banquet Liyou, Tuoba Xianbei is one of the deductions.

Tuoba Jiefen is a very intelligent person, and his prestige in the clan is extremely high, otherwise he would not be able to let Tuoba Xianbei survive in the infighting, and at this time, with his voice, no one dared to say much.

"Pi Gu, don't underestimate Putou, when he took advantage of the civil war of the five major ethnic groups in the west, he took advantage of the situation to rise, which should not be underestimated! For so many years, he has been trying to fight the Tuoba clan and dominate the west, if I wasn't still alive, I am afraid he would have fought a long time ago, you are not his opponent! ”

"Father, I ......"

As soon as the bald Pi Lonely's words came out, Tuoba Jiefen had already waved his hand to interrupt: "Now that the Xianbei tribe is divided, it is not easy for me to Tuoba Xianbei to keep today's situation, and you are not allowed to annex any tribe without my permission in the future." Putou is not to worry, if you let the central Budugen and Kirby can and others seize the opportunity, there will be no place to die. Especially Kirby Neng, who has the courage of Lord Tanshi Huai back then. ”

"Got it!" The bald Pigu did not dare to disobey his father's orders, and instantly lost his spirit.

Tuoba Jiefen didn't pay much attention to him, then looked at the others, and said calmly: "I don't care which tribe the new tribe is headed by, whether it is the Han people, the Huns, the Wuhuan people, or the Ding Ling people, this is insignificant, I just want to know his purpose and where he came from, and let him know who is the master here!"
