Chapter 452: Just the Beginning

The Wu family has become a disease in Tang Gaomin's heart, and he always feels that it is because of his actions over the years that he has made Wu Huan bad, for fear that the Wu family will take refuge with more than a dozen small clans.

Bringing up this stubble at the dinner table is not without asking Tang Zhi for advice, when he thinks of bullying Wu Huan for so many years, he suddenly wants to come to the door to please him, and he always feels that he can't hold his face.

If there is a better way to solve it, it is better not to lose this kind of leather surface that should not be lost, so Tang Gaomin is very modest.

His little caution naturally couldn't hide from Tang Zhi, but the patriarch didn't care at all, and explained seriously: "If you continue to stay in Xiling, the Wu family that has come to the table will either be pushed by the Mi clan as the vanguard of the attack on our clan, or it will be difficult to survive under the pressure of the two clans. Yuxiling is located in the west, it is the center of the intertwined forces of the two ethnic groups in the west, there used to be towns separated in the center of the two ethnic groups, now there are only rivers and mountains, no matter which side starts to attack, Yuxi Ridge is the first battlefield. ”

"With Wu Huan's shrewdness, he will definitely not allow the Wu family's two hundred years of hard work to be lost on this meaningless battlefield, and he is now making such a big battle not to show his strength to the two clans, but to attract more small clans to join the army. Then take them out of Xiling, if nothing else, now the entire Yuxiling should be building ships, not casting troops. Tang Zhi seemed confident and was very sure of his judgment.

Now all the families in Xiling think that the Wu family is a rising new force, but Tang Zhi clearly knows that this is just a means used by the Wu family to confuse the two clans.

Because a family that has been lying on the salary for two hundred years will never let the clansmen who have worked so hard to cultivate be involved in an uncontrollable battlefield and become cannon fodder.

is just a few words, and now the Wu family, who is in the limelight in Xiling, was stripped of their clothes and pants by Tang Zhi and presented naked in front of everyone.

Tang Gaomin thought about the Wu family's actions carefully, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

In the past two days, he communicated a letter with Wu Huan in Yuxiling, on which Wu Huan spoke in a tough tone, saying that he would maintain neutrality if the Tang family took out two million catties of grain, otherwise he would raise the clan to take refuge in the Mi family.

Now that the patriarch was already confident, Tang Gaomin simply gave up thinking and asked directly: "What does the patriarch think we should do with the Wu family?"

"No negotiations. Tang Zhi shook his head with a smile: "Send warships to patrol to block the western waterway, and let Wu Huan hand over those small clans who have taken refuge in them to the Tang clan." ”

If there is no one in Xiling who is better at water warfare than Tang Mi and the two clans, the small warships of the embedded wheels carry a few mortal squads as fast as swimming fish, and they are very agile, and cruising the western waterway can make the Wu family unable to evacuate, unless the Wu family wants to start a war with the Tang clan, otherwise he can only accept the Tang clan's conditions.

Tang Gaomin's eyes lit up, compared to apologizing and repairing the relationship, the negotiation method given by the patriarch Tang Zhi was obviously more satisfactory, not only did the Tang clan not have to pay money and food, but also gathered more than a dozen small clans, although they did not have a fierce realm team, but nearly twenty fierce realm powerhouses were also a strength that no one could underestimate.

It's just that he still has some doubts: "Even if Wu Huan will agree, how can he press these dozen clans to Beishan?"

The Tang clan wants warriors, not corpses, and it is not difficult to defeat these unorganized fierce realms, but it is not easy to subdue them.

Just to suppress the five fierce realm martial artists of the Ji family, a full thirty martial arts sects of the Tang clan were dispatched, although they had the intention of taking precautions, but it also showed how difficult it was to subdue the fierce realm.

"Six Elders don't worry. Tang Zhi smiled dumbly and said: "With Wu Huan's ability, he will definitely be able to handle this matter properly, just wait to receive this batch of Xiling families." ”

Sometimes, it is not good for those in high positions to cultivate too high, because once there is a problem, they will subconsciously think in the most direct way, if the Wu family can press more than a dozen martial artists to Beishan, then what else to run, can't they stay in Chixia Mountain like the Xiao family.

Several Tang clan leaders at the table, after chatting about the Wu family in the west of the city, began to talk about some relatively light topics, such as the Zhu family and the Wei family were particularly active after the family moved to Beishan, renovated the original simple stone village and even began to reclaim the fields on the hillside, looking like they had lived for a long time.

Another example is that the Xiao clan went to the Chixia Mountain Range, divided the two mountains as their own territory, and drove away all the civilians who were originally avoiding trouble on it.

Chixia Mountain, which originally housed more than a million civilians, was even more crowded after the loss of two full main peaks, and the Du clan could only open the Du clan's land for civilians to live in, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, the people of the Du clan who practiced Chixia Gong continued to build caves on the cliff wall, which finally alleviated the housing problems of some of the old and weak.

When everyone talked about Chixia Mountain, they had been paying attention to Tang Luo's expression, but the new minister was eating with dishes and chopsticks, and he didn't seem to care at all, which made Tang Gaomin a little curious, so he asked: "Minister Luo has never been to Chixia Mountain since he spread the news of the whole city, and I don't see you talking about it today, why is this?"

The sixth elder asked the part that everyone was puzzled about, so he suddenly turned his attention to Tang Luo, and the new minister just put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said lightly: "The flood news has been notified three days in advance, and it has only been three days now, what is there to care about?"

A full three days of preparation time, even if it is all used to find food and dig vegetable roots, can reserve at least 100 days' rations for the whole family. If there is no resistance to the disaster after being reminded, then there is no need for this kind of fool to save again.

This cold attitude was completely different from the hysteria in the back hall that day, and Tang Gaomin was surprised when he met the patriarch.

Tang Gaomin thought that since he had already spoken out, he simply asked Tang Luo about his plans, so he asked again: "Minister Luo, because you announced the flood in advance, these 1.6 million civilians gathered in Chixia Mountain, but what will happen in the future?"

Why does the clan always suppress the news when facing large-scale natural disasters, although there is a plan to make a fortune, but more because once the world is destroyed, the clan is unable to take care of the massive number of refugees.

As a family where everyone practices martial arts, although the number of people is small, the food consumption is very large, an ordinary adult who has never practiced is enough for half a catty of food a day, but a twelve or thirteen-year-old mortal-level martial artist can eat three catties of food a day.

The destruction of the fields means that the stored food can only be consumed, and of course the family has to take care of the people, if they have to take care of a large number of civilians, no amount of food can be saved.

Therefore, saving 1.6 million people is just the beginning, if these people are allowed to starve to death in Chixia Mountain, how grateful they are to Tang Luo today, and how resentful they will curse tomorrow.

Have you thought about these? Tang Gaomin stared at Tang Luo, his eyes full of vicissitudes.
