The army instructed the captain and steward: "Put the nine men into the dungeon, separate the monks of the Bao family, the Sima family, and the Xiang family, and put them in three cells, and keep them under strict guard, but they will be served with good food and drink, and they will not be allowed to die early." In addition, go to their respective stockades and find out all their immediate family members, and put them together with them as bargaining chips to make them obedient. In a few days, I will be useful to them. As long as they cooperate well, they and the family members they brought will be released.

As for the nine people in the village who are not their family, they are of no use to us, and when the battlefield in Central City is cleared, they will all be wiped out. ”

The army was addressed to the stewards and captains, and it was also focused on the nine chess pieces.

The nine of them could no longer care about the indignation of the uncultivated clansmen who were about to suffer their doom, and they urgently needed to protect themselves, and their families by the way.

In order to save their lives, they volunteered to be the guides of the slaughtering army in the central city, and went back to coax their own protective formations that had not yet lost their effectiveness, and made great contributions to the central city and the elders of the army.

The nine of them only need to find out their own families, and the rest of the life and death will not be able to fluctuate the blackened iron hearts they embroidered.

"Words count" has never been the life motto of the army, and the army advocates "usefulness first"!

The performance of these nine ant-like people was quite satisfactory from the point of view of the army itself, and these people were quite familiar with current affairs. But when they are used up, they will also lose the value of their existence, and they will be slaughtered along with their families.

The rest of the story, the Legion didn't say it in front of the nine fools, who were locked up in the dungeon, and they only deserved to know what the Legion wanted them to know.

The army has his own unique analysis of the situation in the city of Caves:

"According to the current form, there are still monks below the three levels of qi refining in the Nanzhai households, the whole family of the Lang family in the west has fled, the Chai family in the east has been wiped out, the Bao family in the north village, the Sima family in the northeast village and the Xiangjia family in the southeast village have all died in this battle except for the nine goods just now, and the Shi family in the northwest village has already become the central city companion village.

In the entire Dongwu City, only the Central City and Yangjiazhai are still strong.

Although the ground of Yangjiazhai is small, its strength is unfathomable, and it has become the biggest winner of Dongwu City quietly. Yangjiazhai has the power of heavy treasures from the sky, and can extinguish the Lietian Banner and the Lietian Fire. The central city also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and it must be faced that the central city is no longer the opponent of Yangjiazhai. How should we handle the relationship between the central city and Yangjiazhai? The army asked and answered itself.

Central City needs time, as long as there is enough time, Central City will first invest the main resources in him alone, improve his cultivation, and even surpass the cultivation of the old city lord, and the central city will be able to keep it for a long time.

So how should we buy this time? The analysis of Yang Mu, the ruler of Yangjiazhai, is crucial.

At first, the Yang family wiped out the 4,000 armor soldiers of the Shi family with a thunderous force, but they were able to take the initiative to give up the sanctions against the Shi family, and even interceded for the Shi family's women, old and young, and gave up asking for the Shi family's territory and resources.

At that time, everyone agreed that Yang Mu was currying favor with the old city lord Lie Tianhuo in exchange for the old city lord's leniency and keeping Yangjiazhai.

More than half a month ago, Yang Mu didn't know what means he used to kill the old city lord and the left and right envoys, killed Lang Zhi, the owner of the Lang family, and killed the owner of the Hu Xiaolin village and the elder of the Hu family. With the strength of Yang Jiazhai, which was already against the sky, he could have taken advantage of the situation to destroy Langjiazhai and Hujiazhai, and then attacked the central city and established his dominance status as the leader of the city.

However, the course of action that everyone thought of in their hearts, Yang Mu did not do that, Yang Mu let the whole family of Langjiazhai in the neighboring village migrate without killing, and he did not hear that Yang Jiazhai continued to find trouble in the village.

If it weren't for the fact that our central city couldn't hold its breath first, I personally led a team to Yangjiazhai to inquire about the news, and I would not have known that Lie Tianhuo and the others had undergone abnormal changes. Yang Mu even promised that we would not deliberately leak the news, judging from the nine goods that were interrogated just now, Yang Mu did keep his word.

Yangjiazhai was relocated hundreds of years ago, but at this time, it was able to turn against the guest and develop into the strongest force in Dongwu City. Yang Mu is indeed an outlier, with forbearance and means that others cannot.

The heavy treasure from the sky must still have certain limitations, and they can't leave the village to expedition to other places, so Yang Mu put on a lofty posture that stands out from the world. ”

After careful analysis and careful consideration, the army decided to have a strategic wrestling with Yang Mu.

The army began to announce his decision, and given the shortcomings of his people's IQ, his speech was very precise and detailed:

"I have to admit that Yangjiazhai is very strong now, and the central city has not yet reached the time to confront Yangjiazhai head-on, and the central city must recognize this reality and must be soft first. Let's take out enough chips and make peace with Yang Jiazhai first, according to my analysis of Yang Mu, Yang Mu should agree.

In this way, enough time will be bought for the central city, but the central city must not always rely on the handouts of poplars, and the central city must take the initiative into its own hands. I want to become stronger first, absorb a lot of cultivation resources, and only when my cultivation reaches a height equal to Yang Mu, can we have the confidence to win a head-on battle with Yang Jiazhai.

Let me now talk about the specific implementation methods.

First, the promise of heavy profits, this is the first step to show weakness.

Bao, Sima, and Xiang brought in a large amount of resources to show their intentions to the central city, which was equivalent to the original four-year tax quota of Yangjiazhai, was divided into four parts, and three of them were allocated and sent to Yangjiazhai. I set up a clear goal for this, which is called the return of Yangjiazhai's taxes for three years, which shows the position and sincerity of the central city;

Second, give it heavy power and show weakness again.

The original Shijiazhai and the current central city companion village were also given to Yang Mu, as a reasonable trophy of Yangjiazhai's battle that day. It was renamed Yangjiazhai as "Yangcheng", and the central city bowed to the Yang family.

In the bright side: The central city agrees with Yangjiazhai to have absolute control over the other villages in Dongwu City, and Yang Mu is the city lord of the Bazhai combination, and the central city will never interfere. In this way, it is equivalent to Yangjiazhai actually controlling half of the area and resources of Dongwu City, and even after Yangmu completes the reception work, the central city will be in the encirclement of Yangjiazhai's sphere of influence in the future.

Privately:

First, there are monks below the steward level in the village, and without the blessing of the village owner and the clan elder for twenty days, it is a big deal if the village protection formation is still a little effective. The central city sent eight clan elders to lead the team, bombarded the battle formation of the village, wiped out the entire clan of the village with the power of thunder, brought back all the cultivation resources of the village, and finally burned the empty shell of the village to the fire, leaving the poplar with the slightest resources to use.

Second, the current formation of the Central City has long been replaced by the Central City's own, and there is no obstacle to our people, and all the old and young people of the original Shi Jiazhai are not left, and they are all killed. scraped back all the cultivation resources inside, and also left a piece of ash for the poplar.

Third, Langjiazhai has long been empty of people, there is nothing to kill, and there are no cultivation resources to scrape, but Langjiazhai still has fresh land, and with a little management, some new cultivation resources can be produced after half a year or even a few months. All the things that can be enjoyed directly in the future should not be Yangjiazhai's, and several captains took people to Langjiazhai to prevent fire, and things should be done in concealment, and the fire should be burned thoroughly.

Fourth, all the monks in Baojiazhai, Sima Zhai and Xiangjiazhai died, but because they had just died, the formation of protecting the village in their village was the strongest. Take those nine men and nullify their cultivation. In view of these three villages, six clan elders were sent to preside over the overall situation, and the soldiers were divided into three ways, all of whom changed into their clothes in the village, and led by them, coaxed their respective village protection formations, except for the designated direct family members of the nine people, the other clans were exterminated. The same snatched up resources and burned down the stockade.

Treating all the villages, creating the illusion of fire between other villages, the focus is to confuse Yangjiazhai and not leave a handle.

In this way, except for Yangjiazhai, the resources of all the villages in Dongwu City have entered the pocket of the central city, and the breakthrough of my last breath has been completed in these few days. In fact, all Yang Jiazhai got was ghost villages, and Yang Mu could not get new resources from there for two years. Even if Yang Mu sensed that something was wrong, he didn't grasp the handle of Canterlot and didn't dare to risk the expedition.
