Chapter 313: Brand Building
Soon, the slave soldiers returned to the camp and returned to their lair. It's a canyon that requires a narrow cliff to enter, and then a swamp and thorny forest, and if you don't walk through it from someone who is familiar with the road, you will have to shed your skin.
"It's really dangerous here, one husband is the gate, and ten thousand people can't be opened!"
Zhou Yu looked around, and couldn't stop admiring, and he didn't know who chose such a place as a camp, and he really had some intention of making a long-term struggle with the Water King.
"It was chosen by the commander, and he said that this is called a fortress, and only if we go out to fight others, we don't need to think about defense at all."
Xerxes is indeed a once-in-a-century military genius, both in his judgment of the enemy situation and in his choice of terrain and natural hazards, which highlights his forward-looking and old-fashioned spiciness.
"The Grand Duke!"
Before entering the barracks, Lao Xue greeted him, his temples were as white as snow but his heroic appearance was radiant, and his appearance of being old and strong gave people a feeling of joy and convincing from afar.
"Boss Xue!"
The two of them hugged each other, although it was a year later, it was still a sense of title.
"Come on, come on, sit inside."
Xerxes's spirit gave Zhou Yu a strong confidence, and as soon as he saw Masha and them just now, the Metropolitan Governor suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and he spontaneously arose from the bottom of his heart. His stall was so large that he could not take care of it when he left Kuzsia, and he fell into a state of anarchy and acrarianism; After leaving Soracia, the place was in dire straits, even worse than it had been before he arrived.
Whether you are saving others or harming others is a question that cannot stand scrutiny. Any leader in any era will have this kind of thinking. However, what he was most annoyed about was that he did not have a false and wrongful snake at that time, pretending to join the Danya tribe and learn the secret language of mind reading, so that he could communicate with Zhang Jiao, Ran Min, Lu Bu and Zhang Xianzhong remotely, command remotely, occupy the commanding heights of the struggle, and grasp the initiative in the struggle.
However, there is no if in life, since there is no is nothing, he can't regret it and has no time to regret it, now pretending to be a sergeant to lead out of the guerrillas, seeing the immortal army he built with one hand being forced to go to Liangshan and tired of self-preservation, Zhou Yu's heart is indeed not a taste.
"Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency!"
Entering a thatched house, a few more people came out, and it was actually four of the five golden flowers, and the narcissus was naturally not there.
"Huh? Alas? Don't touch it! Rose! ”
"I'm not a rose, she is. My lord, you forgot about us so quickly, I'm Jasmine! ”
"Lao Xue, thank you!"
Xerxes glanced at him, and the two of them knew each other without words. If he changes his position and Lao Xue goes out to work alone, the Metropolitan Governor will also take his family members to his side without exception, so that he can settle down and avoid their worries.
Although they are just a few maids, Zhou Yu has never treated them as commodities, and they are indeed bought, but a few girls treat themselves like brothers, and Zhou Yu treats them more like family.
A sumptuous dinner is held in the open air in the valley, where the water and plants are fertile, the natural treasures are abundant, not only rich in mountain delicacies, but also the river flows, and the river fresh is also handy.
Roast pheasant, stewed lamb chops, fried river shrimp, mixed cordata, the gluttonous Tudajie Lang Hara flowed all over the place, and the Bang Shuai Taishan brain was full of fat. The most outrageous thing is the wine here, which was captured by the guerrillas who intercepted the transport of Ilek City, and the first-class wine has a long history, and the people are drunk and drunk.
Soon, several people were drunk and unconscious. As the commander, Marsha naturally took over the task of the main escort, and the deputy escort turned out to be Lily, since it is the brother of the Grand Governor, it is naturally a family, and at this time, a woman came out to stand and cheer, and the atmosphere is not the same, and you are not negotiable to death.
In the thatched hut, there were only Xerxes and the Grand Governor.
"Lao Xue, it's all up to you for the past year."
"Haha, what did my brother say? What does it mean to rely on me? This is what I should do, you and I have our own division of labor. ”
"Hey, it's a pity I didn't do that job well."
"Well, you saw it, and I'm not much better."
The two looked at each other, pursed their lips, and suddenly laughed together.
Zhou Yu told Xerxes how to find the Peak of Destiny, how to be attacked by the villagers of Bataan, how to accidentally discover the poisoning site, and how to take a wind wheel to Dubancia. The old man sometimes exclaimed, sometimes paused, and pinched a handful of old sweat for the governor.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, compared with my brother, the situation on the fool's side, uh, hehe, you've seen it too."
Old Xue blushed and spread his palms very apologetically.
"Lao Xue, this can't be blamed on you, after all, the water king has been working hard in Saurasia for so many years, and he has led more than 10,000 elite soldiers into the customs to fight, and it is not a big deal to eat a few defeats. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success! ”
"If you simply lose the battle, I, Xerxes, am not a person who can't devour heaven and earth, but the heart of the army and the people doesn't seem to be on your side!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Yu frowned, it seems that what Masha said about Lao Xue's blind pursuit of victory in battle still has a deep meaning, and he is only a rough person who understands less than half of it.
"The cruelty of the Water King is beyond my imagination, his arrival has brought an evil wind to the whole continent, from top to bottom and down, not so much that I am defeated by him but by that violence and fear. When many people heard that the water king was coming, they hurriedly built the rain temple again, and prayed and bowed day and night. What's more, the people who participated in the smashing, looting, and burning at that time actually committed suicide to apologize. ”
"Oh, that's it?"
"Not only that, as soon as the Water King Fu arrived, he ordered the killing of more than a dozen city lords who were divided into feudal domains, but there was only one reason, to participate in the Sima scam. Just because he followed the prince, he was brutally murdered, and even the nine clans, how vicious? How cruel? It's unheard of. ”
"Come to think of this water king, he is a demon-like existence in Soracia!"
"The Immortals you just saw had more than half of them killed or wounded in many battles, especially in the Battle of Electric, and now there are less than 5,000 people left, which is our entire strength. The army of the Water King, I fought with them, not only were they not afraid of death, but they were also well-equipped and uniform, and I did not even defeat the number of defensive battles. And even the burden, the same ... ”
Zhou Yu knew that he was trying to say that Kejin was killed in battle, and the rest of the people abandoned the city and fled. At this moment and here, Lao Xue can still take all the blame on himself, and he is also a good official in his previous life.
"Haha, Lao Xue, what's so embarrassing about this, everyone has a smooth divide, and there are times when they sail against the current. The mountains don't turn around, and if we lose, we will fight back, but it will only hurt Kezin and his family. ”
A hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the Grand Governor, Uncle Kejin was good to him, if he hadn't helped him at the beginning, he wouldn't have had any chance to get close to the princess, and he would not have been able to become famous and win the first place in the Tianmu Hunting Competition.
"I have naturally understood these truths in my life. But I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the people's fear is spreading like dry wood and fire. Not only did it burn to the city-states, but it even infected our soldiers, and that would not be good. ”
Yes, what Lao Xue said makes sense. If the army's heart is shaken, and every soldier thinks that he is fighting a war that cannot be won, then how can he wave his army to the north, and how can he be diligent and quell the chaos.
"Therefore, I think the most important thing now is not to preserve strength, but to quickly win a few key battles, establish our own brand, give confidence to the soldiers, peace of mind for the people, and peace of mind for the two of us."
"Oh? How to establish a brand? ”
"Rely on propaganda!"
"Propaganda?"
"Yes, we must carry out propaganda with our left hand and organize and mobilize with our right hand. Of course, the iron also needs to be hard, we have to come up with two decent products, otherwise it will not be convincing! ”
"Brother, you might as well say it directly, my old Xue is old, and I can't listen to so many twists and turns, you have confused me."
"Hahaha, that's easy to say. Didn't Electric City be captured by him? We will call back again, get up from where we fall, and let the people of the southern continent see hope and smell the flesh first. ”
"However, we are the defeated generals of other people, and besides, with the current remnants of the defeated army to meet the enemy, not only are the enemy outnumbered, but the enemy is defending and attacking, I'm afraid it is not so easy, right?"
Zhou Yu rubbed his chin and stared at the tea cup on the table in a daze. After a long while, he didn't answer Lao Xue's question directly, but opened his mouth to ask.
"Old Xue, what about Simang, Cheraiman, Zhanso, Bambur and Kazik? Why didn't I see them? ”
"Look at my memory, I haven't told you about the specifics yet. Cheraiman, Sman, and Janso are in the Bruno tribe, which is also one of our strongholds, and I have followed your advice when you left not to put your eggs in one basket, and created the three holes of the cunning rabbit, so that the great master cannot catch us all. ”
"How many people are there?"
"Less than a thousand!"
"What about Bambul and Kazik?"
"The two of them went to Drunken Flower City, I sent them to secretly investigate, and pass on the new information they have at any time, there is actually a secret information channel to me in Drunken Flower City."
The Metropolitan Governor admired Lao Xue's operational thinking very much, which was not only scientific and reasonable, but also comprehensive. Since we can't beat us, we will hide, and we will hide separately, so that you can't eliminate me at once, as long as we have a breath, we can breathe and come back to life. In addition, in the hinterland of the enemy, it is necessary to plant your own people, lay nails, dig holes, and steal deep manhole covers. Once something happens, it's good to have an inside and outside combination.
The most powerful thing is the smooth flow of information channels, it is hard to imagine how many scouts Lao Xue needs to rotate on the road to ensure the smooth flow of this postal route, these brothers are running around day and night, day and night, how hard it is for the governor to empathize with and immerse himself in the scene.
However, now that he's back, Aida of the Terrans is back, and Pachuya's convener is back, it's a bit too much to say if he doesn't fight a good fight, a turnaround battle, and a roll call battle.
