Xiao Yuan stood on the city wall, looking at the empty grassland outside, occasionally with hares jumping and gray wolves hunting.

"Since there is no time limit, it means that it should be safe here, but what if the old man is not there? Could it be that there is a great Confucian true text to protect it? But I didn't feel it when I mobilized the official seal of the king just now. ”

Xiao Yuan once again held the official seal of the king of fortune, and everything in the entire cottage was in his perception, how many soldiers were practicing hard, how many were coping, how many people were sick, how many children were frail, how many talents were in the courtyard, and so on.

"It's a good kind of power, but why do I feel more pressure? ”

One is a cottage of thousands of people, and the other is the Ministry of Ten Thousand Souls, the deeper you understand, the stronger your sense of powerlessness.

"Alas......"

Xiao Yuan sighed lightly, and then took a deep breath to cheer up, the experience of the Dream Pavilion made him understand many things, a person can be depressed, can be angry, can be pessimistic, can escape, and can even despair, but, as long as he lives, there will be a turnaround!

Xiao Yuan thought in his heart, holding the official seal in his hand, and issued an order to all the people here who raised people and above, and asked them to go to the military courtyard.

Xiao Yuan went down the city wall and came to the main hall of the military academy, there was a large table in the middle of the main hall, and eight people were sitting on both sides, looking at the costumes, which were a Hanlin, two jinshi and five lifters.

"I've seen the Far King!" the eight of them stood up in unison.

The monarch is like a great Confucian, and the status of a prince is equivalent to that of a scholar.

Xiao Yuan looked at these people carefully, they were all higher than himself, but they did not have the slightest arrogance, they were solemn and respectful, and the military discipline was strict.

"Sit down, everybody. Xiao Yuan was not polite and stepped into the main position.

Xiao Yuan sat down, and the other eight sat down one after another.

There was an extremely rough map on the table, and Fang Yun saw that in the middle was the Spirit Clan, and there was no small tribe or Spirit Clan gathering place around.

This cottage is directly south of the Spirit tribe. There is no choke point to guard the choke point, and it is not a dangerous place, only a section of the city wall blocks the mouth of the valley, if there is no great Confucian Zhenwen suppression, it is impossible to stand.

"Tell me about the situation here. Xiao Yuan said.

So the generals successively gave a general idea of the situation here.

After listening to this, Xiao Yuan knew that those barbarians would occasionally come to harass this camp, and most of the time it would not exist, as for the things outside this grassland, the people in this cottage did not know, only knew that the Ten Kingdoms and the Holy Courtyard would come to send grain and grass supplies.

Although there is something spooky about it. But Xiao Yuan was not ready to delve into it, and it should be as the old man said, unable to get words from them. So he stopped being distracted by anything else, and just thought about how to destroy the barbarian tribe.

Xiao Yuan stared at the map, and after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see anything, with the power of this cottage, it was impossible to capture the Ten Thousand Spirit Tribe.

Mencius said that the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. The people in this stockade are working together. But the strength is too poor, and it can't compare to the 10,000-strong wolf barbarian tribe. ”

"As for the location, although the Spirit Race forced the Terrans out of the grassland, thousands of years have passed. They are also natives of the grasslands, and they live by grazing, and this is their homeland, and we do not occupy any geographical advantages. ”

"The time of the day. Not to mention this, at least it takes until the Great Confucianism can partially influence the heavens, and the other party's spirit king is only at the level of a scholar. Neither side can influence. But they often live in the grasslands, and they know more about the weather than we do. ”

"The time, the place, and the people are all suppressed, how can this battle be fought!

Xiao Yuan thought about it for a while, but he never knew how to win, so he asked: "It is impossible for us people to destroy the tribe of the Spirit Clan, you know very well, what do you think?"

"If you lure them to attack the cottage, you can kill them all, but the adults said they wouldn't do that. So, we can't help it. ”

Xiao Yuan said: "Even if there are no old people, I think this cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with the strength of a thousand people, and with a page of Confucian true texts, it can be defended." After all, the Spirit King is only equivalent to a scholar, and with the presence of the Great Confucian Zhenwen, he rushing in is tantamount to killing himself. ”

"The Great Confucian True Text is easy to obtain, but those Spirit Clans are not fools, and they will not desperately attack the city. Their purpose was clear, to trap us in the cottage. But with the presence of adults, there is the food and grass of the Holy Courtyard, and we will not starve to death, but we will not be able to grow. ”

Xiao Yuan nodded, he also knew that the Spirit Clan's means of attacking the city would inevitably break through the power of the Holy Temple in the city first, and then start attacking the city, but everything was based on the absolute superiority of the Spirit Clan. If the advantage of the spirit clan is not large, they will surround the three queyi, cut off water and food, and wait for the soldiers and civilians in the city to escape, and then they can capture the next city.

Even if this camp is not guarded by the old man, as long as there is a page of Great Confucian Zhenwen to suppress it, the ten thousand barbarians will have to lose at least five or six thousand before they can take it, after all, the power of Great Confucian Zhenwen is too strong.

"Anyway, as long as you attract them to attack, it's the only way to defeat them, right?" Xiao Yuan said.

"That's true, but unless the wolf tribe feels that they can't survive to kill it, they can't go to all-out war. The Spirit tribe is also like us, they have been guarding here for generations, and they are guarding the ancestral temple. ”

"None of you and the Eldars can leave?"

"Yes, and never left. ”

Xiao Yuan continued to discuss with everyone and clarified a few points.

Taking the initiative to fight will definitely die, any so-called military formation strategy will not work, and the Spirit Tribes have an overwhelming advantage.

If you want to win, you must force the spirits to attack the city, but you also have to weaken them.

At the end of the discussion, Xiao Yuan asked helplessly: "The only way we can do is to force the Spirit Clan to a dead end and let them attack the city?"

"There is no other possibility, unless you suddenly have the ability to be a scholar and lead us to kill us. ”

Xiao Yuan said: "I listen to the sound of the academy's books, in a few years, those students will be successful, right?"

A general said with a bitter face: "The people in the village can't leave, and they can't take the imperial examination." In the future, they will be saints at most, and it is impossible for them to go one step further. So you say don't count on them. ”

Xiao Yuan's heart was even heavier, which meant that even the most dignified and upright path of cultivating talents had been blocked.

"I see, you guys are gone. ”

When everyone left, Xiao Yuan sat alone at the top of the main hall of the military courtyard, staring at the map, constantly thinking, and gradually understood a lot.

"If it is to test my ability to lead the army into battle, there is no need to make the gap between the two sides so big. No matter how powerful the general in history is here, it is impossible to use war to slaughter the Ten Thousand Spirit Race. Therefore, to pass this test, war is by no means the most important means. ”

"Since you can't win by cultivating talents, then it is not enough to simply lead the development of the human race, or in other words, there are countless ways to cultivate talents in the Holy Academy, and I am not the only one. ”

"In that case, there's only one way. It's to weaken the spirits. Let's start with that. ”

Xiao Yuan entered the academy and searched for all the information about the spirit clan in the library for a full day, and then gathered the oldest people in the village together and listened to them talk about all the things in this grassland.

These old men were very shrewd, and they could see at a glance that Xiao Yuan was going to destroy the Spirit Clan, and they followed up with advice.

The old man talked about everything, and often quarreled with each other because of contradictions.

However, these old people have one thing very consistent, they know that the grass of the Spirit Lake and the grassland is the foundation of the Spirit Clan. As long as the spirit lake and grass are destroyed, the spirit demon clan will inevitably lose their support.

The old people said many ways to solve the spiritual lake and grassland, but they were not very reliable.

After chatting with the old people, Xiao Yuan walked up to the city wall. Holding the official seal, attracting the power of the official seal, the divine mind flies into the sky, and you can "see" the extremely distant places of the grassland.

In the center of the steppe. There is a large lake, and there is a demon tribe on the edge of the lake.

The spirit demons in the tribe multiply, and there are herds of cattle and sheep outside the tribe. A small number of spirit demons are grazing, which is the biggest difference between wolf barbarians and wolf demons.

The human race can use its talent to accomplish all kinds of incredible things, the spirit demons are different, most of the spirit demons have a strong body and blood power, the spirit saint barbarian saint can raze a high mountain under a punch, but even the simplest rain can not do, and the human race even if it is a talent has the opportunity to write a rain prayer poem.

In addition to being physically strong, spirit demons also have some natural demon arts, but those demon arts have many limitations, and they are far from being as varied as the human race.

However, the Spirit Race has always suppressed the Terrans with its strong body and talent.

Xiao Yuan looked at this piece of heaven and earth, and thought in his heart, at this time, this heaven and earth were extremely harmonious, as if everything could survive on this grassland.

A rabbit squirmed with a three-petal mouth and ate grass quickly, and a fox lurking in the shadows suddenly burst out and frightened the rabbit to run wildly. Eventually, the rabbit escaped the fox's pursuit, and as soon as he crouched down to rest, a goshawk swooped down, its powerful talons firmly holding the rabbit.

The praying mantis on the side was so frightened that it hurriedly flew away, startling the dragonfly not far away to flee with small insects in its mouth.

Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Food Chain!Ecological Balance!As long as the ecological balance here is broken and the Spirit Race loses the place they rely on to survive, even if not a single soldier moves, their strength can be reduced to the minimum!"

"The foundation of the grassland food chain is this grass, whether it is poisoned or burned, it is impossible to achieve the real effect, but the ecological imbalance can be boiled in warm water like a frog gradually changed, and when the spirit race realizes it, it is no longer able to return to the sky, and our human race can either take advantage of their weakest time to act, or wait for the rabbit to wait for them to fight hard!"

"So, let's take it one step at a time!"

Xiao Yuan thought in his heart, and immediately summoned the soldiers with civil positions to go to the main hall of the military academy.

After a short time, Xiao Yuan sat in the main seat, the general sat at the bottom, and the rest of the people stood on both sides, and the main hall was solemn.

"I already have a plan to weaken the Spirit Race, but the process is complicated and may take years to complete, so I hope you will cooperate. ”

"Yes. ”

"I heard that there has been a secret trade between the human race and the spirit race, and it is basically controlled by the wealthy families, but is there such a thing?"

"Yes. But those who do this kind of thing are all side lines of the big family, or those who can't take a step forward in the literary position, as long as it's not too much, the above will turn a blind eye. ”

"Good. You report to the Holy Courtyard and let those merchants spread the word, starting this year, they will no longer buy sheep from the Spirit Clan, only goats, and the price of goats is twice that of sheep, inducing the Spirit Clan to increase their efforts to raise goats. ”
