Section 206 Politics
As he walked into the room, the leader of the pigs felt the light behind him suddenly dim, and he instinctively turned to take a look, and found a strong Ox soldier closing the door. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The captain of the Niu Clan's personal guard, who was clinging to him, quickly turned around, and his nimble left arm went around the injured leader's body, like a strong steel cable, and wrapped his arms around his neck tightly, while raising his left leg, bending his knee, and fiercely pressing against his lower back. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The two Niu Clan warriors cooperated very tacitly, grabbed the injured leader's hands respectively, locked the wrists with strong force, rotated nearly 180 degrees like screws, and pushed upwards backwards. The ligaments, which were extremely taut, did not loosen the slightest gap, and the arm and wrist bones were misaligned on the spot. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
It all happened so quickly and without warning, that the wounded leader of the pig people had his eyes wide open, and his throat was stuck with death, and it was difficult to breathe, let alone make a sound. He could only twist his body desperately, and let out a muffled grunt of pain and fear from the depths of his nostrils, the volume was so small that even the people around him couldn't hear it clearly, let alone the pig captives who were more than thirty meters away from the heavy door. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
In the struggle, the leader of the pig people saw Zonggu slowly walking in front of him, and he was still smiling, but there was a little more sarcasm in the depths of his smile. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
He wants to kill me, they want my life! &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The thought was firmly in his mind, and the terrible thought was becoming a realityββββ a bull warrior pulled out a dagger, ripped off the bandage wrapped around the belly of the pig leader, and stabbed it into the middle of the triangular wound with the muscle valgus, and the right hand of the knife quickly shook to the left and right, and turned a few times flexibly. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The leader of the pigs felt his intestines be severed, and his liver was shattered by the terrible sharp solids. The nerve convulsions were so violent, the tip of the knife that penetrated directly into his body even touched his spine, he struggled desperately, but was held by the strong captain of the guard, and the last return of light only lasted less than thirty seconds, his body first stiffened, and then trembled like boiling water rising at high speed. The suffocation and fatal injuries worked at the same time, and when the shaking stopped, he completely lost the last breath of life. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Zonggu looked down at the deceased lying on his side on the floor, and sighed, "You forced me to do this. β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Blacktooth stood beside him, feeling that this was very strange, like a person who had made a mistake in repentance to the gods, but there was a hint of ridicule in his tone. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"Wrap him up, at least it looks like that." Zong Gu slowly rubbed his hands, looking like an old man who had been immersed in gambling for many years touching mahjong tiles, "Move lightly, be careful, wipe the blood on the ground, and not be seen by those guys outside." β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Zong Guang was a little stunned. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
From the time he walked into the room and things changed abruptly until now, he had been trying to control his emotions, without speaking or moving. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
He wasn't stupid, he knew that it was all arranged by his father, but it felt bad to be kept in the dark, and Zongguang couldn't find a reason why he had to do it. He looked up and asked, "Daddy...... He...... He has already surrendered, why kill him? β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"He's not the kind of person I want." Zong Gu took a step back, avoiding the dark blood that meandered from the floor, "Actually, I don't have much interest in him, I want those captives outside." β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
ββ¦β¦ Wouldn't it be enough to recruit them directly, so why bother? Zong Guang still didn't quite understand. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Jongu smiled. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
In the face of his son, his smile was not sarcastic and hypocritical, only the kindness and love from his father: "This man is a warrior, and he will not retreat." When we attacked, he fought desperately with dozens of men, buying time for others to escape...... This person has the qualities of a true leader and is easily embraced. β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Zong Guang was able to penetrate it at one point, and he suddenly realized, "So he must live?" β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"Live for the time being." Jonggu agreed, adding, "More than 2,000 captives are not a small number, they can be of great use, and this is the meaning of war, the winner strengthens himself by plundering, and the loser who refuses to surrender with a tough attitude will of course die." Only before that, he has to play his due value. β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"This guy speaks very well." Zong Gu glanced down at the gradually cold corpse on the floor, "He saved us a lot of trouble, otherwise those captives outside would not be so easy to obey, even if they sit and kill each other, it will only provoke their anger even more." β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"In that case, why did Daddy kill him?" After going around in a circle, Zong Guang still returned to the question just now. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"The most direct way to move people's hearts is to give benefits, either to give him power or to give him benefits. If it is an ordinary civilian, they will not ask for too many benefits, ten heads, or a hundred heads. But he is different, he himself is the leader of this stockade, the real head of a thousand people. The starting point (harmony) itself is very high, and the space to go up is very limited. I'll admit that he's really capable, so he wants more. We worked hard to build a stockade and get more than 2,000 captives, and as a result, we had to fill in another 8,000 people, and make up 10,000 to give up the position of a city lord, just to get the so-called allegiance that he was ambiguous and perhaps unwilling to give up a blood oath...... Hehe, is it interesting to do this? Zong Gu looked at Zong Guang with the expression of looking at a child. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"So he must die." Zong Guang felt that a door had been opened in his brain, and many cruxes that he had not figured out before suddenly became clear. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"Even if we die, we can't let the captives outside know that we did it. The next step is to disguise him to create the illusion that he is too injured to die. Anyway, he has done what we need to do, and for whatever reason, as long as he accepts the reality of surrender, the idea of resisting and fighting will be diminished. The captives knew that he was wounded, and no one had anything to say about it under this pretext...... Hehe, that's politics. Zong Gu smiled and raised his right hand and gave his son a thumbs up, "You are still young, you have a lot to learn!" β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Blacktooth saw everything from start to finish on the side. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
He didn't speak, his lips were tightly closed, and even the rhythm of his breathing was deliberately suppressed, and he didn't make a sound. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Shudder. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Ah Hao is right, this kind of thing is too profound, and the transition between back and forth is unexpected, and it is difficult to accept. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
I'm still honest about what I do, a heavy infantry commander. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
β¦β¦ &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Wu Yuan did not enter the City of Red Hooves. He led his guards day and night, and soon left the border of the Niu Clan's territory and headed for Fangfang City, the capital of the Pig Clan. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
After two days of hard work, Wu Yuan deeply understood the true meaning of the words "the world is impermanent". &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
It's a time of barbarism and obscurantism, and on a primitive basis, a lot of things don't go the way you think they should be. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
It is a secret that the Three-City Alliance of Panshi, Thunderhorn, and Mishui launched a military campaign against the Pig Clan. Despite the large number of participants, the concentration, march, deployment and logistical support of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is difficult to achieve the secrecy of the direction like the war of the civilized era, Tianhao still tried his best to maintain a calm posture, at least before the troops were dispatched, the whole of Rock City adhered to the principle of secrecy, and the sentinels carefully checked the people who went out of the city every day, trying not to reveal the news, so that the opponent could be aware. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Zonggu and Niu Weibang have also done a very good job in this regard. In particular, Niu Weibang sent troops twice before and after on the grounds of "winter training", except for his cronies, no one knew where the main army of the Lei Jiao Department was and what it was doing. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Traveling all the way from Thunder Point City, Wu Yuan was keenly aware that something was not quite right. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The number of villages passing along the way is too small. He deliberately went into several stockades and inquired carefully, and the answer was the sameββββ the king ordered the army to be concentrated for training, and I heard that it would be a while before he returned. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The whole training is normal, and in order to maintain combat effectiveness, the Niu warriors will conduct similar large-scale training all year round. Wu Yuan has a suspicious personality, he vaguely feels that this matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface, he immediately sent his henchmen to other nearby villages to investigate, and the reply he got was the same, no difference. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Terrible conjectures grow like plants from the depths of the mind. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Who is Niu Weibang going to deal with? &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
What is his goal? &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Could all this be related to the pig people? &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
There is no network in this world, there is no telegraph telephone. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
It's winter, and the snow is so heavy that it slows down movement, not much faster with a horse. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
With his instincts, Wu Yuan changed his initial goal and went to Fangs City instead. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Entering the territory of the pig clan, I found out more news. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The war had already broken out, the army of the King of Thunderhorn had breached several villages, a large number of prisoners of war had been taken to the rear, and the victorious army was resting briefly to concentrate on the next target. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Wu Yuan felt deep remorseββββ if he hadn't turned his face with Niu Weibang and remained in the power center of the Thunderhorn Ministry, these news would not be a secret to him at all. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
He actually avoided me, avoided my eyes and ears, and made such a big move alone. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Intense anger ran through his body like an electric current, and soon turned into deep fear. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
This means that Niu Weibang no longer believes in me, and even kicks me away from the center of power. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
How dare he attack the Pig Clan? &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
This is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, there are only 100,000 people in the entire Lei Jiao Department, and the combat effectiveness of the pig people is well known, the contrast between the egg and the stone is not appropriate, and the saying that the walnut smashes the hammer is barely appropriate. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
By the way, we must also add Rock City, that young city lord is arrogant, how can this kind of thing be missing him? &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Maybe it was his idea! &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Wu Yuan sensed that things were spiraling out of control, and he regretted staying in Thunderhorn City for too long. The plan to spread rumors seemed to him to be a good move, which could plant a thorn in Niu Weibang's heart and make him jealous of the young Rock City Lord. However, the disadvantages of this are equally obvious, it is equivalent to self-isolation, wasting months in Thunderhorn City in vain, ignorant of what is happening in the outside world. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Wu Yuan raised his whip and whipped the horse under his seat fiercely. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"Damn brute, run faster!" &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
He had never been more angry than he was now, and the psychology of being deceived was tearing blood like a claw deep in his brain. I should have been in control, and the whole plan had to be carried out according to my will, but now it has been disrupted, and even the Pig Clan, who has a significant proportion of the Wuyuan plan, is in deep danger. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
God has always favored the persistent and tenacious person, even if he is a madman who does not care. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The territory of the Pig Clan is vast, and the objectives of the three-city alliance are different in the early stage of the war, coupled with the primitive and backward contact methods between each other, it is inevitable that there will be an uncontrollable travel gap, just like a computer simulation game shielding the fog of the battlefield where the other party is, shrouding the Wuyuan team of only a few dozen people, successfully avoiding the reconnaissance post and entering Fangfang City. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
β¦β¦ &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The residence of the national teacher. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
When he saw Wu Yuan, Wu Mane, the national master of the Pig Clan, was taken aback. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The handsome and dashing young man was gone. The Wu Yuan in front of him was dirty and smelly, God knows how long he hadn't taken a shower, and the strong smell of sweat was absorbed by his clothes, forming a disgusting smell that covered his nose. The face is black and white, and there are even obvious abrasions. The clothes are dirty and torn, especially the area between the legs and crotches, which has a lot of wear and tear, and even shows a little skin color. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Witchmane has no voyeurism (and) yin (harmony) fetish. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Wu Yuan has kept his feet apart since he came in. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
After several days of riding without rest, he felt like he was about to fall apart. Desperate to maintain speed, no matter how good the horse is, he can't stand it, Wu Yuan had to leave half of the people behind and let them come on foot, and he took the guards back and forth to change horses, but despite this, several horses were still exhausted and thrown on the road. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The two legs can only be spread out, not closed, otherwise the skin will come into contact and it will be hot and painful. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"Great Master, the Pig Clan is in danger, you must send troops immediately, otherwise it will really be too late." Wu Yuan gasped heavily, and his whole person was extremely nervous. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Witchmane's eyelids jumped, and she frowned slowly, and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?" β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Wu Yuan opened his mouth and asked in disbelief, "What...... Didn't you receive the message? β&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"What's the news?" Witchmane began to develop a slight dislike for Wu Yuan. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
"Niu Weibang sent troops to attack the Pig Clan, and he sent the main force of the Thunderhorn Department to pour out of the nest...... Don't you really know? Wu Yuan immediately figured out the key. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
The sheer size of the territory makes it difficult to deliver messages in a short period of time. It's winter, there's snow everywhere, not to mention humans, and even ferocious beasts rarely go out to hunt at such times. The autumn harvest lasts for a while, and the pigs are taller than the other tribes and have a greater need for food. In order to reduce consumption, they spend the winter as little as they can and eat as little as possible, like a hibernating species curled up in a nest. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
Wu Yuan didn't know how many troops Niu Weibang had sent, but it was speculated that it should be no less than 80,000, and with the strength of Rock City, the overall strength would be at least 120,000 or more. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
With the unpreparedness to fight and the unpreparedness, the villages of thousands of people in the territory of the Pig Tribes are not opponents at all. They couldn't even run away, like a lonely reef that was quickly swallowed up by the rising tide. &a;lt; r /&a;gt;
&a;lt; r /&a;gt;
