Chapter 256: Intricate Relationships
"Chief, Duan Yu Clan's Karma team has come out"
Qi Qiu quickly reported to Gu Yi, who was sitting in the temporary station, Gu Yi stood up with a hey and said with a smile: "Finally can't hold it back, right?"
After a week-long arrest of the Wuhu thieves, the sub-surname branch of the Duan Yu clan and the people scattered in the Tianmu clan were captured in large numbers by the wandering beards, which caused panic among the tribesmen, and began to abandon the small settlements, and instinctively converged to the large gathering area, like a flock of sheep targeted by wolves, hoping to rely on the huge number of clans to ensure their own safety.
The Duan Yu clan, who was unwilling to sit still, did not send a large number of Zhan Qi to patrol around, but these beards were as smooth as loaches, and the small number of Zhan Qi teams with poor strength would be gradually eaten and swallowed by the other party.
And the strong and powerful team can't even touch the shadow of the other party, but will be scattered around the bearded people, carry out harassing attacks, dragging back and forth tiredly.
If the Duan Yu clan gathers all the clansmen back into the clan city, with their food and material savings, it is enough to last for several years, or even longer, and Gu Yi, who has no experience in siege, unless he uses the field army of the bluestone leader to attack with the tactics of crowds, it is almost impossible to defeat Duan Yu clan city.
Can Gu Yi blatantly use the field legion?
Can't he dare to do that, not to mention that all the clans in the territory of Iron Fort JT will unite to resist, and Rong Wei, who has long been eyeing him, dares to lead the army straight to the bluestone leader, even if he has long known that the Wuhu thieves are Gu Yi's ghosts.
To put it bluntly, Rong Wei is now a poor and crazy fly, just waiting for the crack of this fat egg, and the Lord Bao Zheng, who has a good relationship with the bluestone collar and is so good that he mixes oil in honey, will also unceremoniously take the opportunity to stab a few knives in the back of the bluestone collar.
But fortunately, the Duan Yu clan did not "sit still", but instead sent out the high-end combat power in their hands, and it seemed that they were planning to fight the Wuhu thieves
When Gu Yi heard the report of the enemy, he immediately stood up excitedly: "Have you seen clearly how many Qiang Rong and how many Qi Rong are in the other party's team?"
"A team of five karrongs, each with five hundred karma, divided into ten squads and went to the tunzhai of their sub-surname branch"
Qi Qiu also said excitedly: "Leader, shall we do it now?"
Gu Yi frowned: "Their Biao Rong didn't come out, it seems that the ancestral temple of the Zong family is very important, it's already here, or are you reluctant to send Biao Rong out?"
Ziyu, who served as Gu Yi's "assistant" and concurrently served as the "dog-headed military advisor", said with a smile: "This is normal in the clan......, right?
Gu Yi was stunned: "What else do you say?"
Ziyu nodded: "Yes, but all local clans will try their best to cultivate some 'family Rong', or invite some Bu Rong, as their own offerings, these people are the foundation of their clan, even if the branch of the surname is dead, as long as the clan does not fall, the clan can be passed on, and once the worship of the clan is also defeated, then even if the clan is complete, it will soon be defeated...... Without enough deterrence, it has long been annexed by other clans, so we can do it. ”
Gu Yi's eyes widened, it was the first time he had heard of such a thing, he rubbed his chin and said in confusion: "That means, even if we swallow up all the branches of their surnames scattered outside, their Biao Rong will not come out to hunt us down?"
Ziyu thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily, it depends on what the head of the sect family pays, and ask those worshippers to help." ”
Gu Yiqi said: "This is strange, since the Zong family commanded the immovable worship and made a move, they were all caused by our calamity like this, why are they still not convinced? Send someone to Baozheng or Rong Wei for help, won't they be able to break the siege?"
Their purpose was not to exterminate these clans, but to threaten them to join Gu Yiji's strategy of drawing up the Lu, so there was no need to resist so desperately to the end, right?
Ziyu smiled bitterly, the leader of his own family really didn't know anything about the world, no wonder the merchant would send him to follow him left and right, and solve his doubts at any time, so he could only explain patiently: "It's not that they don't want to be soft, but they can't be soft."
Shaoyi, do you think that we're five thieves, we can mix in the territory of Iron Fort JT, if no one doubts it, then it's called hell. ”
The Five Hu thieves are so rampant in the territory of the Iron Fort JT, but the Rong Lieutenant who has the responsibility of defending the land does not care, and the discerning person knows that there is a problem with it.
And with such an obvious flaw, how could the people of the 丨 clan not suspect that it was not the 丨 Shi clan and 丨 Rong clan represented by Bao Zheng and Rong Wei who attacked them, and asked the official for help in this case, but instead fell into the official trick that had been plotting to disintegrate the power of the local clan and sect.
Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings, rather than luring wolves into the house, it is better to fight one's own strength and have a glimmer of hope.
Only then did Gu Yi understand that why these big clans were powerful, in the face of such a ferocious bandit like the Wuhu Thieves, they would show such a stubborn resistance mood, and the left and right were dead, so it was better to fight for a good deal.
The reason why those small clans will surrender to Baozheng is probably also forced to be helpless, rather than their clan being wiped out, it is better to live under the people to survive, as long as the inheritance of the clan continues, there is always a chance to make a comeback.
Gu Yi was puzzled: "Is it such a simple reason? Could it be that before us, no one thought of using this method of pretending to be bandits to deal with the clan? I remember that whether it was the Rong clan represented by Rong Wei or the scholar clan represented by Bao Zheng, they had long wanted to solve the intricate clan power in their homeland, right?"
Ziyu didn't answer the rhetorical question: "Shaoyi, which side do you think we are the power of the bluestone leader?"
Gu Yi blinked his eyes, and he couldn't answer at once, 丨Qingshi Ling丨 is neither a scholar clan丨, nor a Rong clan丨, not a Shang clan丨, not a simple craftsman clan丨, naturally not a local 丨 clan丨, it is purely a force that emerged out of thin air, but it has something to do with "scholars, Rong, merchants, and craftsmen", but it has nothing to do with the local clan.
"This is just like whether it is Rong Wei or Bao Zheng, or the local clan, they all covet the wealth of our bluestone collar, it's not that no one has thought of making a profit from it, but they all have scruples"
Ziyu said with a smile: "Rong Wei and Bao are clamping each other, if they both make a move against the local clan in private, they will be worried that the other party will stumble on themselves, and wait for the opponent to show their feet so that they can give a fatal blow."
"No matter what you say, the clan also belongs to the people of the Great You Dynasty, after all, everyone still belongs to the same rule, as long as the Great You Dynasty does not collapse for a day, they have to abide by the rules of the day.
"It is impossible for the two sides to join forces to deal with the clan, because they also have to worry about the strength of the soldiers and forces behind them, and wonder if they have fallen to the other party...... Shirong has a long history of contradictions, and for the sake of his own position, even if he has no direct contradictions and hatred with the other party, he has to pretend to have an attitude of hatred and bitterness
"The local clans are even more cautious, for fear that they will be branded as rebels by the authorities, and find a high-sounding excuse to seize their clan property and destroy their sects. ”
Ziyu spread his hands: "It's not that the Shi and Rong clans have not supported the bandits and rogues to deal with the clan, but the power of the bandits is too small, and the clan's own combat power is not weak, so they are not afraid at all, but the power of the thieves is too great, but it is the dereliction of duty of the Shi and Rong clans to defend the territory, which will bring trouble to them." ”
In this way, the three parties can only stalemate with each other and play the game within the scope of the rules.
At this time, the three parties do not rely on the bluestone collar, but they are related to the strange power of the four clans, and the financial resources are enough to compare with the Shang clan, to talk about force, and to compete with the Rong Captain, to talk about power, and to hold the 丨 soldier talisman 丨 丨 Zhengyin 丨.
The strange thing is that the bluestone collar has no direct subordinate relationship with either party, so there is no need to be responsible for anything, and the strength is strong enough to threaten the local clan, Bao Zheng and Rong Wei will so condone the existence of the "five Hu thieves", it is not the intention of using the bluestone collar to deal with the local clan.
Even if it is exposed and debunked at that time, it is nothing more than the contradiction between the local power of the four different Qingshi Leaders and the local clans, and Rong Wei and Bao Zheng do not even have the obligation to mediate in the middle.
As for the joint defense and security fortress that Gu Yi made to defend against the enemy, he even sent a very comfortable "step" to both sides, and even if he was punished from the peak, he couldn't blame them
Raids, you say?
Lieutenant Rong said: I have sent two battalions to fight against bandits, exterminate bandits, and arrest thieves and bandits, and the results have been remarkable
Bao Zheng said: I paid out of my own pocket to repair the horse road, build a war fort, protect the villagers, and achieve good political achievements
In this way, they don't need to spend a penny of effort, they can also harvest a lot of battle medals and political achievements, and solve the local stubborn tumor of the clan, why not?
After listening to Ziyu's explanation, Gu Yi couldn't help but be speechless for a while about this intricate relationship: "It's not easy for everyone to live."
But immediately, Gu Yi's eyes burst with excitement: "In other words, in this regard, we can let go of it, right?
