Chapter 440: Shocking Tactics

In the past ten years, the Xia clan has not experienced a major war of more than 10,000 people, except for occasional small frictions with the Cao clan.

This is also the current situation on the mainland, as the status of the eight major surnames becomes more and more stable, it is impossible for ordinary tribes to challenge their dominance, either die or surrender, there is no third way to go.

However, this also has an advantage, under the pressure of King Zhao, that is, the war consumption between the major tribes is almost saved, and the aspect of competition has also become economic.

Because the Xia clan is located in the north, far away from the center of the territory of the Zhao country, there are not too many financial resources, Xia Wei claims to be the first chief of the Xia clan for a thousand years, and even intends to replace the king of Zhao, of course he is not satisfied with the status quo, and has always hoped to develop the wasteland.

The wasteland is an uncultivated virgin land, wild and dangerous, but it also means a huge opportunity, and he sent out his most valued Xia Wei, who intends to establish a large tribe that can be called the pearl of the wasteland.

"If it weren't for Xia Yunzhi holding me back, I would have become the king of the wasteland by now!"

Xia Wei pinched his eyebrows and looked into the distance: "It's been a year, Xia Wei, a bastard boy, don't say anything about sending a letter, let me feel at ease." ”

Broken thoughts, Xia Wei laughed again, Xia Wei has been talented and assertive since he was a child, and he has never let himself down.

"Maybe he'll become the King of the Wasteland!"

Xia Wei calculated the time, according to the usual practice, Xia Taiding's inspector should return from the wasteland at this time, and he would soon know how the plan was going.

The next morning, Xia Wei had eaten pickles and rice porridge, and when he was ready to start work, the bamboo slips from Xia Taiding had already been placed on the bookcase.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Xia Wei scolded.

The servant looked panicked and hurriedly bowed his head.

"It's stupid, get out. ”

Xia Wei scolded, opened the bamboo slip, and checked it first.

The bamboo slip is not the handwriting of the younger brother, but it doesn't matter, the final signature seal is on the line, with Xia Taiding's character, he has never liked this kind of rough work.

Looking at the handwriting of the engraving, it should be written by Xia Tuo.

The bamboo slip is not long, but the content written made Xia Wei breathe quickly after reading it.

Xia Taiding said that this year's trial was a bit miserable, and almost no newcomers showed up, because Xia Wei was too ruthless and surrendered those pawns.

Xia Shilian is a strong enemy, in addition, that Xia Wuyan's wild breed Xia Ye is also, I don't know what kind of shit luck he had, he actually built a tribe, and also started trade with the Wei clan.

"It's true!"

Seeing this, Xia Wei suddenly heard that there were a lot of good goods in Wei's before, paper, sanitary oil, and rare frosting.

Those frostings, even I, the great chief of the Xia family, have never eaten them, and it is said that the output is scarce, and they were all booked by King Zhao.

Who doesn't covet this kind of unique goods? Xia Wei also let people check the ins and outs, and in the end, they only knew that the Wei clan was trading with a tribe in the wasteland.

Don't look at the dozens of caravans in Chaoge, but who is willing to tell others how to make a fortune? Therefore, the owners of those caravans strictly ordered their subordinates to talk nonsense, and those who violated it were directly killed.

"It's actually that Natsuno!"

The corners of Xia Wei's mouth twitched a little, he also knew that he had cheated Xia Wuyan, and he sacrificed Xia Ye to King Zhao, making him lose his bloodline, this kind of behavior was very shameless, but as the leader of the tribe, he had to do it.

Whether it is a tribe or a country, the cake is only so big, and there are so many people to share, no matter how powerful Xia Wuyan is, but after all, he is not his own person, to say that Xia Wei does not protect him, it is nonsense.

Actually, Xia Wei admires Xia Wuyan very much, if he loses the identity of the great patriarch, he hopes to become friends with Xia Wuyan, but he is also the spokesperson of some people, whether to kill Xia Wuyan or not, not only he has the final say.

"That's dirty politics!"

Xia Wuyan sighed, he knew that in history, many great heroes did not end up with horse leather shrouds and died in battle, but in the internal struggle of the tribe.

Continuing to flip through the bamboo slips, Xia Wei's eyes widened and widened, and he even slapped on the table, and his excited face was dyed red.

Xia Taiding said that he sent a vanguard corps to take down Chaoge, and at this time he had obtained the recipe for frosting, other specialties, and was being pressed.

At the end of the bamboo slips, Xia Taiding expounded his strategic plan, taking advantage of this crusade, he wanted to use Chaoge as a base to conquer the surrounding savage tribes, in addition to plundering the wealth they had accumulated for hundreds of years, but also to have a group of vassal tribes, so that they could open up the wasteland for the Xia clan.

"Hmph, after seeing the recipe for the frosting, Xia Yunzhi shouldn't have the face to stop me, right?"

Xia Wei snorted coldly, and then looked through the bamboo slips again, and asked Xia Taiding to guard the border, which was really wise, but this army and materials, will it be too much?

Xia Taiding asked for 30,000 soldiers and horses, including cavalry and archers, and military supplies needed enough for 30,000 troops to eat for three years.

After reading it, Xia Wei didn't think it was much.

Fighting in the wasteland, it must be the cavalry and archers who have the advantage, as for the grain and grass ordnance, Xia Taiding also said that to recover the savages, you can't blindly kill, you have to pull a batch, fight a batch.

Many of these materials are intended to be used by the savages.

Xia Wei couldn't wait, and immediately asked the servants to inform the high-ranking members of the tribe that they were going to hold a tribal meeting.

An hour later, more than thirty people gathered.

"It's early in the morning, what are you calling us for?

An old man with gray hair fired directly, he has a habit of sleeping lazy, but the more important reason is that he is Xia Yunzhi's family, no matter what Xia Wei wants to do, it is always right to accuse him first.

"Nian Bo, if you go to sleep again, your body and bones will rot. ”

Xia Wei seemed to care, but he said it in a way that was neither yin nor yang.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"

Xia Yunzhi took the staff and poked the ground vigorously, making a thumping sound.

"See for yourselves!"

Xia Wei threw Xia Taiding's bamboo slips out.

The people who were originally careless, after reading it, immediately changed their expressions and began to whisper.

Xia Wei looked at these people and did not speak.

"Really?"

It was Xia Nian who was the first to speak: "For such an important matter, why didn't Taiding carve the bamboo slips himself?"

"When you were an entourage, didn't you carve enough bamboo slips?"

A strong man came back, his name is Xia Liqiu, and he is a family of Xia Wei.

"Yes, Taiding is a chief, there is no need to waste time on such trivial matters. ”

"Where's the blueprint for the frosting?"

"I've heard of that kind of frosting, which is the favorite of the magnates of Zhao Kingdom, but I didn't expect it to be invented by Xia Ye's wild species. ”

The top brass is gossiping, and the first concern is interests.

"Speaking of which, I should have noticed when he played with that hand of gold last year. ”

Xia Yunzhi frowned, he actually secretly sent someone to monitor Xia Ye at that time, but the blood survival trial was about to start, Xia Ye left the tribe directly, and then he didn't sell sugar, and he didn't dig deeper.

At this moment, Xia Yunzhi's heart was filled with deep regret, if he had gotten the formula for frosting at that time, it would be his own, and with it, he would definitely be able to win over more allies and successfully ascend to the position of the great patriarch.

"The recipe is in Taiding's hands!"

After Xia Wei finished speaking, he looked at these high-level executives with a calm face, but there was undisguised banter in his eyes.

"Huh!"

The senior members of Xia Yunzhi's family laughed awkwardly.

"I am the great patriarch of the Xia clan, so I naturally put the interests of the tribe first!"

Xia Wei said officially: "The distribution of frosting will definitely not disappoint everyone." ”

"I'll just say, the great patriarch has always done things fairly!"

Xia Nian touched his beard and slapped a sycophant.

Xia Yunzhi glanced at this old thing, closed his eyes very interestingly, and pretended to be recuperating, but in fact, he avoided it for the time being, he knew that today, Xia Wei came with capital, and he couldn't please him if he came out again.

"Well, everyone has seen Taiding's plan, right?

Xia Wei sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

The crowd was silent, weighing the pros and cons, but soon, someone spoke.

"Wouldn't it be too risky? 30,000 people are already half of our tribe's troops!"

"If you can take the wasteland, you won't lose anything. ”

"It's a pity that those savages have no use except for being cannon fodder, and the nobles don't like to use savage slaves!"

When it comes to major matters, everyone still has a lot of opinions, to put it bluntly, most of the people who can sit in this position are not stupid, sometimes they stumble, they just want to maximize their interests.

In fact, there is no point in discussing, Xia Wei, who holds many formulas, is already an absolute talker.

The meeting was over, and everyone didn't leave immediately, even Xia Yunzhi and his family gathered around Xia Wei and chatted with him.

Xia Yunzhi made a calm face and threw up her sleeves and left.

"Huh!"

For the first time in so many years, Xia Wei felt that his thoughts were clear, and he felt that in the future, Xia Yunzhi would no longer have a long or short capital with him.

"Xia Ye, your father helped me solve external troubles and internal worries, and stabilized the foundation of the Xia family, you sacrificed the bloodline in place of my son before, and at this time you came up with a frosting formula, so that I can suppress Xia Yunzhi and become the real patriarch of the Xia family, Xia Ye, your family is really my lucky star." ”

Xia Wei was secretly happy, he remembered that Xia Wuyan also had a daughter, so he began to hesitate, should he take that girl into the house, in case he brought another wave of good luck to himself?

In addition to leaving a thousand cavalry in case of emergency, by the way, Xia Wei sent all the five thousand cavalry of the Xia clan out.

Don't underestimate this number, cavalry is in this era, but it is the most expensive type of army, just the maintenance of war horses, and the daily food is better than that of an ordinary civilian in the Xia family.

In addition, there were 20,000 archers, and the rest was supplemented by infantry.

Xia Taiding didn't want the Molten Giant, and Xia Wei was not surprised, because this class was a big killer, and in his mind, the ones his brother had were enough.

It was already the height of summer, that is, there was still half a summer and an autumn to take advantage of, because by the time winter came, the cold wasteland was definitely not suitable for combat.

Therefore, in only five days, Xia Wei mobilized 30,000 soldiers and horses, prepared supplies, and asked them to rush to the Taiding tribe.

This is within the Xia clan's territory, so there is no need to worry about being sneak attacked, so the army moves quickly and marches unscrupulously all the way.

The Taiding tribe, the atmosphere is silent like a zombie.

Even though three days have passed since the slaughter order was issued, the strong smell of blood on Jiaduo's body has not dissipated.

The prisoners of war, who were held in the barracks without weapons and armor, had no power to fight back against the bows and arrows and ballistas of the savages.

"It's a pity that you can't be an undead soldier. ”

Friday felt a pity.

"What you say, it's really inhuman!"

The ghost lord despises it.

"Hey, hey, don't think I don't know who gave Jiaduo the idea. ”

Friday was depressed, and the ghost master was the blackest guy: "But then again, will the master's plan succeed?"

"You should ask why it didn't work out!"

The ghost master rolled his eyes: "The master has sent dragon people and air cavalry scouts to search the area leading to Xia City all day, as long as the news of the fall of the Taiding tribe cannot be transmitted, this plan will definitely succeed." ”

Xia Wei is the reincarnation of a god, and it is impossible to think that his younger brother has been killed and the tribe has perished, and he is probably dreaming of dominating the wasteland now.

In the midst of Friday's apprehension, the Dragonman scouts arrived, and a cavalry of 5,000 men approached the tribe.

There is no shortage of surrender factions at any time, and the chief guarding the city gate at this time is a coward who has succumbed to Xia Ye's butcher's knife.

After normal exchanges, the gates were opened and the cavalry entered.

"The tribe is too quiet, isn't it? Why are there so few people?"

The 10,000-man man watched left and right.

"We're all on the march!"

The chief explained, but his eyes glanced at Xia Ye beside him, who was now his lieutenant.

The doubts on the face of the ten thousand people did not subside, but at this time, Cheyenne appeared.

"Why are you so small?"

Cheyenne asked.

"Humph!"

As soon as the chief heard this, his face was unhappy, what does this gentleman know? But it was precisely because he saw Xia An that his doubts also dissipated.

The cavalry dismounted and entered the barracks arranged by Xia Ye.

"Was there a fight here?"

The commander frowned, although the barracks had been cleaned, the experienced generals could still see some clues.

"Cleaned up some prisoners of war!"

Cheyenne looked embarrassed.

"Oh!"

The 10,000-strong commander did not doubt him, thinking that Cheyenne was timid, and remembered some bloody scene, and was frightened: "What about the chief? I want to see him!"

"Father is working, I'll take you there!"

Cheyenne walked a few steps and couldn't help but look back at the barracks, where the cavalrymen were talking and laughing and walking towards their respective barracks to settle down, they didn't know that this would be the last day of their lives.

Today's dinner will add the poison made by the mountain ghost, ordinary people will have a seizure in half an hour if they eat it, even if they don't eat it, they can't escape, because around the barracks, there will be a lot of archers and axes.

"I ......"

As soon as Xia An wanted to speak, she saw Xia Ye's fierce gaze staring at her, this distance was enough for her to kill herself ten times before she could speak.

"No, I've already shrunk my eggs once, is it possible to shrink again? I'm also a good boy of the Xia family!"

Cheyenne's heart is roaring.
