The brainwashing of foreigners is far from being as simple as imagined, and it is almost impossible for two or three sentences to make the audience change the fixed thinking that has been formed for a long time. But as long as the policy advocacy is translated into a story, coupled with a wonderful performance, the audience will have a subtle psychological tilt. Whether it is storytelling or drama performance, it can more or less make them feel a sense of substitution, and then feel that "the protagonist is me", and they are not so resistant to the next slogan, and even feel that the dragon people are reasonable, and they are eager to get what the propagandists say, "a happy life." ”

By the time the first snow fell, Ironjaw had already taken in more than 700,000 Tiger Clansmen. As a result, the fleet from Bucks City has become monolithic. When he came, the ship was full of food, and when he left, it was full of Tiger civilians. According to the task force and the propaganda team: "With hope for the future, they rushed to a completely new, enviable life under the leadership of the regent." ”

As the weather gets colder day by day, the number of tiger civilians coming from the south has also decreased a lot. Both the frequency and the number have been greatly reduced. Even so, the number of statistics accepted in a single week is still as high as 140,000.

The civilians who fled to Ironjaw City were dressed in rags, and they looked like they were starving and starving to the present day. Yonggang ordered the people below to arrange a sufficient amount of rice porridge and thick soup, and he couldn't help but be curious about the ally of the national teacher who had never met in Lifeng City.

According to the habits of the northern barbarians, it is rare to go out in this kind of windy and snowy cold weather. But even so, a large number of civilians fled to Ironjaw.

There must be a credit to Wulin in this.

How did he do it?

What kind of person is he?

……

Tiger Clan's territory, Mighty Wind City.

Tiger King Yao first led a large group of men and horses into the city gate. Behind hundreds of elite guards was a huge convoy that stretched for miles.

From Bloodclaw City to Mighty Wind City, Hu Yaoxian has always felt restless on the road, with an indescribable anxiety and depression.

Along the way, he kept urging and ordering the convoy to speed up. However, heavy snow has blocked the road, and the poor road condition has caused the wheels to sink into mud puddles again and again. People braved the bitter cold to beat the horses pulling carts, and the animals that could not bear the pain stumbled forward in extremely difficult conditions.

Along the way, Hu Yao first slapped the horses under his seat like crazy. He abandoned his slow-moving baggage and galloped forward with hundreds of lightly armed cavalry. His heart was full of anxiety, as if his body was full of burning fire. Not to mention the wind and snow, even if the weather gets worse than now, braving a fist-sized hailstone, he will desperately rush to Mighty Wind City.

Under the guidance of the guards, Hu Yao walked into the City Lord's Mansion first.

Wu Lin and the Commander got the news in advance and were already waiting there.

Striding across the living room, Hu Yao took off his cloak as he walked and threw it on the ground. There were several pots of charcoal burning in the room, and it was very comfortable. The boots on his feet were covered with snow that melted quickly in the heat of the room, and damp footprints were trampled on the living room floor, leading from the doorway to the main seat of the high-backed chair in the middle of the hall.

The food on the table is simple: a pot of hot porridge just out of the pan, a large piece of meat that has been cooked and cut into thin slices. There is a small plate of pickles next to it, but it is not very well pickled and the color is dark.

Hu Yao first looked hungry, he directly picked up the basin of porridge, "snoring" and drank it in a big gulp, drank half of the basin in one go, and then put it down, and without using chopsticks, he directly reached out and grabbed the cooked meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it in a big gulp.

"What kind of meat is this?" Hu Yaoxian felt that the taste was a little wrong, which was very different from the meat he usually ate.

Wu Lin stood on the side of the table and calmly replied, "Horse meat." ”

Hu Yao froze first, and once again the hand stretched out towards the meat basin froze in mid-air, motionless. He turned around slowly, a trace of fierceness in the depths of his eyes, firmly locked on Wu Lin's body.

Horses are the treasure of the Tiger Clan. The previous tiger kings before Hu Yaoxian issued edicts: the whole clan is forbidden to eat horse meat.

"The horses were frozen to death." Wu Lin's plain face showed no joy, anger, sorrow, or fear, or trembling: "The city has been without food for more than two weeks, and if you don't eat horses, you can only eat people." ”

Hu Yao first tried to control his emotions and did not pull out a knife and cut people on the spot. Although he really wanted to do it, he really wanted to cut off the head of Wulin.

The secretly dispatched cronies conducted a comprehensive investigation of Mighty Wind City. The five reports sent back at different times showed that Wu Lin and the Commander had not lied, the grain reserves in Lifeng City had long been depleted, and the current situation was precarious, and if the grain and grass were not transferred from the rear, the situation would be completely out of control.

There are other things that have been ascertained in passing. Hu Yaozong carried out his plan to move south, secretly swallowing up the property of hundreds of thousands of civilians. From food to livestock, from gold and silver to clothing, he spared nothing and exploited all civilians cleanly.

The huge amount of property is jaw-dropping, and the royal nobles who have been bought by him have come forward to speak. Hu Yaoxian knew that he had made a big mistake, and he was extremely angry at that time, and his mind was full of thoughts of executing Hu Yaoxian Ling Chi. However, there are too many people who persuade them, and they are all members of the royal family who can't get around it no matter what...... As a last resort, Hu Yaoxian had no choice but to order Hu Yaoxian to be imprisoned, his property was seized, and he personally led the guards and forbidden army to quickly rush to Lifeng City with the grain and grass sent from the warehouse of Bloodclaw City.

He could understand what Wulin was doing. If you don't eat horses, you can only eat people.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Hu Yao first gasped and asked, "How is the situation in the city?" ”

The commander and Wu Lin stood side by side, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. Wu Lin clasped his hands in his sleeves, seemed to have seen everything away, and asked lightly, "Your Majesty, what are you referring to?" ”

Hu Yao first knew that he was asking too generally, but Wu Lin's indifferent attitude made him feel very unhappy, and could even be said to be rude. But Hu Yao knew that now was not the time to care, so he frowned: "Let's talk about the situation of civilians first!" ”

Wu Lin replied quickly, he was always sensitive to numbers: "There are still 250,000 people in the city, and the most is not more than 260,000." ”

"Why is that all there is?" Hu Yaoxian opened his mouth in astonishment, and involuntarily raised his voice: "The last time you sent a letter asking for grain adjustment, didn't there be more than one million?" ”

"That was before, not now." Wu Lin's tone was cold and rhythmic: "From Mighty Wind City to Iron Jaw City, all the refugees in the entire northern region are squeezed here. Without food, what shall I feed them? ”

"Where are they now?" Hu Yao didn't have the heart to argue with Wu Lin first, he stared at his reddened eyes: "More than one million to two hundred and fifty thousand...... Wu Lin, shouldn't you give this king an explanation? ”

Wu Lin nodded slowly: "I ordered the north gate to be opened and let them choose where to go." ”

"North Gate?" Hu Yaoxian felt his breath freeze instantly, and he finally relieved himself from his terrifying thoughts, and asked in disbelief: "To the north is Iron Jaw City, which is the territory of the Dragon Clan. Hundreds of thousands of civilians, you ...... You just gave them to the dragons. ”

"It's not about sending, it's about letting them make their own choices." Wu Lin had no fear on his face: "If they don't want to go, they can stay." It's just that there is no food in the city, and I can't kill half of the people and feed the other half. ”

"You...... You're a traitor! Hu Yaoxian's face was full of hideousness, but he couldn't find evidence of Wu Lin's guilt from the theoretical and practical levels. He raised his hand and pointed at Wu Lin and roared angrily, "What you just said is all an excuse. Even if there is no food, why not open the south gate and let them flee to Yellowstone in the south? ”

"I'm not a traitor!" Wu Lin overwhelmed Hu Yaoxian in a higher tone, and he who was weak in appearance erupted into a more violent anger than Hu Yaoxian at this moment: "Do you think I don't want them to flee to Yellowstone City? Do you think this will solve the problem? ”

In a rage, Hu Yao asked without thinking, "Why can't you?" ”

"How much grain can I have in Yellowstone?" Wu Lin's cross-examination was not weak at all: "I am in charge of the internal affairs of the entire north. Yellowstone had already taken in a large number of civilians, both of its capacity and its food supply capacity had reached its limit. As early as three months ago, I proposed that the civilians gathered in Yellowstone should be diverted to receive immigrants from Mighty Wind City. I've been waiting and haven't gotten a reply. ”

Hu Yaoxian's face was already gloomy, and he stared at Wu Lin with playful eyes. After a few seconds, he shifted his gaze to the commander standing on the side: "You go down!" Tell the guards outside that no one is allowed to come in without the king's orders. ”

The Commander nodded, and turned away with relief. He knew that Tiger King Yaoxian had a good personal relationship with Wu Lin, and then, it was estimated that there were many conversations that could not be known to outsiders.

Hu Yaoxian waited patiently until the door was closed from the outside, then he breathed a long sigh of relief, he continued to stare at Wu Lin, and his tone was cold: "You'd better give me an explanation, otherwise you'll ......"

"Even if you kill me, I still can't change the facts." Wu Lin unceremoniously interrupted the Tiger King's words: "The Tiger God is above, I am standing in a fair and just position to help you solve the problem." You know the situation in Mighty Wind City very well, there are more than a million civilians, how do you let me settle so many people? To Yellowstone as you just said? That would only have an impact on a series of cities in the rear. At that time, it will not be as simple as a strong wind city, and it may even cause new turmoil within the entire race. ”

Hu Yaoxian's eyes widened, and he wanted to burst out a few threatening words at Wu Lin that would make the other party speechless. But when he searched his intestines and stomach, he couldn't find a word.

After a long time, Hu Yaoxian let out a vicious roar: "Even if this is the case, why don't you transfer the existing military rations from Lifeng City to supply the civilians?" ”

Wu Lin's ridicule became louder: "You said that it was military rations, how dare I use it without permission?" Although I am a national teacher, my duties are limited to the management of civilians. Your Majesty, you are well aware of the importance of the plan to reconstruct the northern defensive line. If the soldiers are not able to eat enough because of the transfer of military rations, and then cause chaos, who will bear the responsibility? ”

After a pause, Wu Lin continued: "What's more, there is not much military rations in Mighty Wind City, and together with the amount distributed today, the military ration reserves are only enough to last for a week. ”

Hu Yao was speechless by him first, although there was anger on his face, he couldn't find a reason to vent.

A touch of sadness slowly climbed up Wu Lin's eyebrows: "...... You've become too much. ”

Hu Yaoxian, who was angry, didn't understand the meaning of this sentence: "What did you say? ”

Wu Lin shook his head indifferently: "You have forgotten our original ideal, and we have forgotten the dream that we wanted to lead the race to strength. There is no problem with the northern relocation plan itself, but you have appointed Hu Yaozong to be in charge. Don't you know him well enough? In addition to taking advantage of the opportunity to enrich himself and embezzle the property of immigrants, he also used his power to turn more than 20,000 civilians into slaves and sell them to merchants. I found out about this later, and you must be curious to know where the slaves were...... They are now dragons...... Yes, those merchants are from the Dragons. I don't know if Hu Yaozong knows their identities or not, but he only has gold and silver in his eyes, and he doesn't treat our civilians as human beings at all. ”

"We have reached an armistice agreement with the dragon side, and even if the regent wants to turn his face and deny people, he will have to consider all aspects of political influence to a greater or lesser extent. He won't tear up the agreement anytime soon, so we have plenty of time. But look at Hu Yaozong, he led the army to drive all the civilians away, and he was not allowed to carry gold, silver, or even food. You know very well what this means, the Tiger Yao Sect has obtained the property of up to 800,000 civilians, and in return, it is the Mighty Wind City that has been subjected to unprecedented logistical pressure. The people complained about this, and some even shouted the slogan of rebellion. If at such a time, I compress the military rations and provide them to the civilians, the result will be that the army and the civilians will riot together, and there will be no longer any northern defense line, and the dragons will take advantage of the chaos to send troops, and the agreement will only be a piece of waste paper. ”

Hu Yaozong felt a little shameless when he was accused by Wu Lin, and the dignity of being a king made him unable to bow his head and admit defeat, so he could only blush, and let out an anxious roar in depression and rage: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? You didn't even mention a word in your letters. ”

"Do I dare?" Wu Lin once again overwhelmed the Tiger King with a furious roar and asked, "Bloodclaw City is the world of the royal family. I can't even save my own family, I can only watch them die tragically, do you think I dare to stand up and speak out like I used to? ”

"MeSign? Hum...... The officers guarding the city were all from the Tiger Yao Sect, and he would read any letters from Lifeng City in advance. If there is anything unfavorable to him, he will detain the letter so that you can't even see a word. ”

Hu Yaoxian was shocked and angry, and he asked in disbelief, "There is such a thing?" Are you sure you're not lying? ”

"You should ask Hu Yaozong about this."
