Under his description, everyone gradually realized that Yangcheng had not had much better in recent years, under the persecution of the Holy Alliance, Yangcheng's sphere of influence was getting smaller and smaller, and many of the existences that originally belonged to their sphere of influence were taken away, which made Yangcheng's strength gradually decrease, which is why they wanted to contact Black Iron City, obviously they wanted to open up this path, and then use the iron ore of Black Iron City to develop themselves.

But it's a pity that the speed of the Holy Alliance is much faster than them, and Yangcheng has no choice but to cancel the originally scheduled plan to attack the Yuren, so as to ensure that Yangcheng has enough troops to deploy, but in the end, for what reason, Yangcheng did not contact Heiti City, which is a bit strange, Liu Sanyi thinks that the other party may not want Heitiecheng to know the situation in Yangcheng, so as to ensure that there will be no two-sided attack.

But Zhang Ruoming disagrees with this, the strength of the Holy Alliance is so strong, it is absolutely impossible to stop it with the strength of Yangcheng, so they can only rely on foreign aid to ensure that they can support the attack of the Holy Alliance, in this way, they shouldn't actively contact Black Iron City, and let Black Iron City send troops is the right reason?

After all, if it is eliminated by the Holy Alliance, Black Iron City is obviously a better object to cooperate with, after all, Black Iron City cooperation, at least the possibility of turning the other face will not be so great, and the possibility of failure in the face of the Holy Alliance alone is very large, standing in the logic of normal people, of course, they will choose to tell Black Iron City about this matter, why keep silent, and even cut off all the passages, there must be something greasy in this.

But these three Yangcheng people obviously don't know, they only know that during this period of time, the Holy Alliance officially attacked Yangcheng three months ago, and the whole Yangcheng was full of life, those landlords and well-connected farmers had already entered the city, and the rest were abandoned here, and then the people of Yangcheng came to slaughter them, and good-looking children like them were left behind, suffering inhuman abuse, and living a very hard life, in the end, the two children next to them cried, and Liu Sanyi and others were not comfortable on their faces.

Although they are Skywalkers, high up, but looking at the skinny appearance of a few children, with scars everywhere on their faces, they feel very pitiful in their hearts, but at the same time, several people also noticed that the child who spoke, it seems to be a little unusual, it stands to reason that these children of peasant families are all children who have not seen anything in the world, and according to the system of Yangcheng, it is the traditional parent-parent lineage system, under the preservation of this system, there is naturally no such thing as compulsory education, This child is able to talk eloquently in this situation, which not only requires good courage, but also has enough text description skills to be able to speak so clearly, and at the same time the logic is rigorous, and there are no big mistakes and omissions.

Shu Han asked with interest, "Little friend, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Wu Zhang." The kid looked at Shu Han, his eyes were shining, Shu Han nodded, and said with appreciation: "You have suffered so much, and now you can explain things clearly in front of us, you have done a good job."

"Nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do." The young man looked at Shu Han with some expectation in his eyes, as a precocious child, he knew very well how important it was for the superior to have a good impression of him in such a strange environment, which is why he said a lot of grievances that he was unwilling to tell others when he was talking, in order to win the sympathy of these people, so that he could live a better life, otherwise these strangers in the Black Iron City, I am afraid there is only one way to go, that is, death.

Sure enough, Shu Han looked at him with great appreciation, and then said, "Have you read a book?" ”

"I studied with the old gentlemen in the village for a few years, but I didn't learn well." Wu Zhang said a little embarrassed, but Shu Han nodded and said, "Okay, how old are you this year?" Wu Zhang replied truthfully: "Eleven years old." "It's very small, do you want to go to Yangcheng?" Shu Han asked.

Wu Zhang shook his head and said: "Now Yangcheng has been surrounded by those beasts, I can't go back, not to mention, my parents have been killed by those people, I have no home, and please take me in, I Wu Zhang is willing to be a cow and a horse and serve the adults." ”

Saying that, Wu Zhang knelt on the ground, his eyes were full of tears, the tragic death of his parents and his own tragic experience made Wu Zhang continue to grow in a difficult environment, those who were tormented by pain and could not live had already chosen to end their lives in the dark, and those who were willing to survive, which one was not a person with a firm will, Wu Zhang was the same.

But at this moment, thinking of what happened to him in the past few days, thinking of his father being killed alive in front of him, his body being burned by the enemy, and his mother being plundered, he still doesn't know life and death, and himself, that dark day, when he dreamed back at midnight, Wu Zhang could hear those heavy gasps and the feeling of rough palms sliding over his body, that feeling made him only feel disgusted, wanted to vomit, and felt even more wronged, why did he suffer all this, at this moment, he, After all, it was still an eleven-year-old child, one didn't hold back, tears fell to the ground one by one, and the two children next to him simply cried.

Shu Han looked at Wu Zhang, and couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart, he was different from Liu Sanyi and others, there was almost no change on their faces, even if there were, it was very small, after all, they did see a lot, this world, dark and cruel so that kind people couldn't live at all, the people here, which one of them was not covered with blood, which one was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, ruthless people, in the face of these children's crying, there might be touch, but more obviously there would be.

Shu Han turned his head to look at Liu Sanyi and said, "These children, let me take care of them, they can't get in the nursing home, what do you think?" Shu Han was indeed moved by compassion, but more of an appreciation for Wu Zhang, in his eyes, this is a very smart child, mature, and has great rights and wrongs, and is a good child. Book Bar

Liu Sanyi looked at Shu Han, with a little doubt in his eyes, but he didn't ask more, just a few children, Liu Sanyi didn't care at all, so he said: "Of course, you can, but you're afraid you can't take care of the three children, so let's do it, you choose one of the three to take it away, and the remaining two, I will hand it over to others to take care of with the other children, anyway, their age is almost the age of the nursing home, so it doesn't matter." “

Shu Han hurriedly said, "Then let Wu Zhang come to me." Liu Sanyi didn't refuse, nodded and agreed, Wu Zhang heard this, immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Shu Han, and said while crying: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Shu Han walked over to support him, and then said to the soldiers outside: "Take these three children down and let them rest well." “

Wu Zhang and the other three children were taken away, and Liu Sanyi continued: "Okay, let's talk about it now, what should I do about this matter?" I'm afraid the current situation in Yangcheng is not good, whether we continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, or make other plans, you can talk about it casually. “

Yang Yi's grandfather, Yang Wangdi, was the first to speak: "This holy alliance is so powerful, I'm afraid Yangcheng won't last long." Liu Sanyi nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, so we have to make a decision as soon as possible, whether it is to help Yangcheng or not, we must be fast, so as not to delay the opportunity." “

After that, everyone fell into a discussion, and some of them also raised the question of whether they could cooperate with the Holy Alliance, but soon this idea was abandoned, after all, the Holy Alliance is so brutal, even if they surrender, they will miss the best time to surrender, and when the time comes, they will mix with the lowest city-state qualifications, then their treatment and status, isn't that a plummet, and they will only be pawns in the future?

This can't be said to anything, and now that the Holy Alliance hasn't discovered them, they are the first to rush up and say that they want to surrender, how can there be such a truth in this world, even if the other party accepts, they will feel that the people of Black Iron City are too weak to bully, then in the Holy Alliance, what status do they have at all, they are just a group of mermaid garbage, so even if they want to surrender, they will fight with these enemies, let them know that Black Iron City is not easy to bully, so that if they surrender, they can have more chips in their hands, the conditions obtained can be better, right?

Of course, the more important thing is not these, but through the description of Wu Zhang, they know that the Holy Alliance and most other city-states are adhering to the traditional theory of blood families, believing that children should follow their biological parents, so the regime change of the Holy Alliance is also very fast, coups d'état, riots in the city also often occur, but these have nothing to do with Black Iron City, what these families are afraid of is that if they really surrender, Blue Pigeon City asks them to give up the current maintenance system, And what do they do when they follow traditional parenting styles?

This point touches on the core values and interests of the Black Iron City, and these families in the Black Iron City will not agree to it anyway, after all, they can exist for so many years, because the maintenance system allows them to exist forever, one to ensure the stability of the Black Iron City, and the other is to maintain the dominant position in the Black Iron City, if these are lost, then they will never be able to tolerate it, so join the Holy Alliance, or in this way of rushing to seek annexation, None of those present here agreed.

Therefore, there are only two ways left, one is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watch from the side, sit nothing, and wait for Yangcheng's action, and the other is to take the initiative to attack and give the Holy Alliance a fierce blow, so as to let the other party know the power of Black Iron City, so that the other party can win over Yangcheng and let the two sides reach a real alliance, and retreat can make the Holy Alliance jealous and dare not attack rashly, of course, you can also wait for the opportunity to increase your bargaining chips and ask for more treatment to enter the Holy Alliance.

However, in this way, if the battle is defeated, the result may not be optimistic, and then Yangcheng will not only not be able to save it, but will also expose the situation of the Black Iron City in advance, and when that time comes, the situation of the Black Iron City will be very complicated, so the parties are also arguing, but one thing is certain, that is, if you just do it, the situation will only get worse and worse.

Liu Sanyi waved his hand to stop everyone from speaking, and they all looked at him, and then Liu Sanyi said: "Okay, I think, we can first advance our troops beyond the territorial boundaries of Yangcheng, so that Yangcheng and the Holy Alliance know about our existence, in this way, the Holy Alliance will inevitably divide troops to observe us, and Yangcheng can also get a chance to breathe, when the time comes, we will take a closer look at the situation and deal with it, what do you think?" “

Some disagreed, saying, "Aren't we exposed to the Holy Alliance?" I think we should first contact the people inside Yangcheng to see what they think, otherwise even if we want to unite with them, we don't know what their attitudes are? “

Zhang Ruoming opened his mouth and said: "This is impossible, the entire Yangcheng has been besieged by the people of the Holy Alliance, and we can't get out or enter at all, it is difficult for us to communicate with the inside, all the behaviors can only be guessed, or they are the first to contact us, so we must show our existence, only in this way can we find out the attitude of Yangcheng, at this point, I support Marshal Liu Sanyi's opinion." “

Liu Yangkai's father, Liu Ran, who was on the side, said: "I also quite agree, but how many troops do you have to send to be enough?" We now only have seven thousand troops in the entire Black Iron City, and according to Ruo Mingxian's nephew, the other party is equipped with a large number of muskets, and we are still in the era of cold weapons warfare, so if a large number of corps appears, I am afraid that the enemy will seize the opportunity to create large-scale destruction. “

When it comes to war, the faces of everyone present are a little dignified, especially the strength of the enemy has exceeded their imagination, if it is not for the Holy Alliance will shake their dominance, and even shake the inheritance system established by Black Iron City for more than three hundred years, most of them are actually more inclined to surrender in their hearts, after all, after surrendering, although the treatment will become relatively poor, but to be able to keep up with such a strong master, it is a big deal for them to conquer other city-states, so as to make up for the loss.

But it's a pity that they are destined to be unworkable by surrendering this way, at least in the short term, it will not work, unless the Black Iron City can make the Blue Pigeon City pay attention, so as to promise the Black Iron City not to interfere with the system of the Black Iron City and the status of the families, otherwise they will never surrender.
