Chapter 340: The Cause of the Rebellion
After resting for a while, Adolf's face was already looking a lot better.
looked at Xue Li who walked in, and then at Tarke, who was still talking, and his heart suddenly became clear.
After signaling to the two of them, he told everything that had happened during this time.
The Third Elder Luke rebelled more than ten days ago, and as for the reason for the rebellion, it was naturally because Tarke had returned to Great Xia.
Initially, Talk's submission caused some commotion among the Wood Elves.
There are pros, disadvantages, and neutrals.
But in the end, most of the Wood Elves chose to accept it.
After all, if it weren't for the grain that Great Xia had aided, most of them would have starved to death.
But unfortunately, no matter what race it is, the perspective of the common people and the higher authorities is always different.
For the wood elves at the bottom, no matter who is the patriarch, as long as they can keep them fed and clothed, they are a good patriarch.
But for those in power, the meaning of this is different.
Although the Wood Elf tribe is not large, they have always had the final say here.
But once he submits to Great Xia, the rights in his hands will be greatly reduced.
Although the Wood Elves have reached the point of life and death, the Third Elder Luke is still unwilling to let go of the power in his hands.
So, Luke's heart gave birth to something different.
Half a month ago, he suddenly sent his cronies to forcibly take over the granary in the clan and control the grain sent.
At this juncture, food is the lifeblood of the wood elf clan, and if they control the food, they will have the greatest right to speak in the clan.
Coupled with his prestige as an elder, the part of the wood elves that were originally opposed to submitting to Great Xia naturally all sided with Luke.
And the wood elves, who had been neutral and even agreed, were forced to turn to Luke for food.
After Luke controlled most of the wood elves in the clan, he did not hesitate to remove Tarke, the patriarch!
During this period, Adolf certainly wanted to resist, but they were weak, and finally escaped from the forest dwelling with a group of people who were unwilling to submit to Luke.
In the process of fleeing, many clansmen also died.
As for Talke's die-hard Elk Knight, he was controlled by Luke at the first time.
"After this incident, I was going to look for you. But as you can see, I can't leave the people in this camp alone. ”
After listening to Adolf's description of the whole thing, Tarke's face was already full of anger at this time.
"I really didn't expect that Luke guy to dare to do such a thing!"
Luke had always been the most low-key of the three elders, who would have thought that he would be able to do such a thing?
It's true, biting dogs don't bark!
Then, Tarke, who suddenly remembered something, asked again, "Is the second elder Dixon involved?" ”
Originally, after the death of the Great Elder Walter, the remaining two elders, their rankings should have been predetermined.
But because everyone has been called like this for hundreds of years, it's really unaccustomed to changing it all at once, so everything is as usual, according to the previous name.
Adolf shook his head and replied, "I don't think so." Elder Dixon once rebuked Luke for bringing the Wood Elves into the abyss and was a sinner for the Wood Elves, and was placed under house arrest by the enraged Luke. ”
"It seems that there are still people in our Wood Elf clan who can see the situation clearly."
The expression on Tarke's face softened slightly, and then he couldn't help but start worrying about Dixon's situation.
"Then you say, will the second elder have already ......?"
Although Tark had not finished speaking, Adolf had already understood what he meant.
"Rest assured. In terms of strength alone, Luke was no match for the Second Elder at all. The reason why the second elder was reluctant to resist was simply because he didn't want to make a move with the clansmen. ”
Hearing this, Tark nodded and no longer worried about Dixon's arrival.
After the conversation, the two motioned for Adolf to get some rest, and then walked out together.
Walking outside, Xue Li looked at Tark and asked, "Patriarch Talke, what are you going to do next?" ”
"I ......"
Tarke opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
In fact, this can't be blamed on him, after all, in the previous hundreds of years, it was the elders who were in charge, and he, the patriarch, was like a logistics person.
Now when I encounter such a big thing, I have no idea.
Realizing this, the expression on Tarke's face couldn't help but become more bitter.
After shaking his head, Tark asked Xue Li with a face full of shame, "What can General Xue Li do?" ”
Xue Li wanted to say, you are the patriarch of the Wood Elf clan, and I am not.
But he didn't say it in the end.
However, compared to Talke, Xue Li at this time was already a general who could take charge on his own.
Since the other party asked, he didn't hide it.
He immediately said: "In my opinion, since the Talk Patriarch has already submitted to our Great Xia, it is better to temporarily settle the wood elves here in the elven administrative region first. Then write to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebel party! ”
In the end, a trace of murderous intent obviously flashed in Xue Li's eyes.
This sneak attack caused him to lose half of his troops, and this account must be calculated clearly no matter what!
"When the time comes, my Great Xia army will overwhelm the border, and a traitor like Luke will be able to exterminate it in a single hand!"
Xue Li's suggestion made Tarke's face change inexplicably.
The strength of Great Xia, he has seen it.
Therefore, on the issue of whether the Great Xia faction could send a large army, Tarke did not have the slightest doubt.
But the problem is that once Great Xia sends troops to encircle and suppress it, how can the Wood Elf clan suffer heavy casualties?
As if seeing Tarke's hesitation, Xue Li inevitably looked down on him a little in his heart.
As the head of the clan, Tarke's performance at this time is really a little unqualified.
"Tark Patriarch, don't forget, those people have deposed you, and you are no longer the patriarch of the Wood Elves. Think about it, in order to raise food, you did not hesitate to risk your life to go to the capital of Great Xia. But what about them? After getting the food, I will not recognize you as a patriarch directly. ”
Listening to what Xue Li said, Tarke was even more embarrassed, he wanted to refute, but found that what the other party said was right.
For a moment, a face was even more red.
Seeing this, Xue Li's tone couldn't help but soften a little, and said, "Although it's right to be kind, does the Tark patriarch still expect them to repent of their mistakes?" ”
"If you make a mistake, you have to pay a price. Patriarch Talke, don't forget, when those traitors attacked you before, LeTV didn't leave a little affection. Even before, many of your Wood Elves had died at the hands of those rebels. ”
"They won't remember it long without leaving them a hard lesson!"
In the face of Xue Li's remarks, Tarke couldn't refute it at all, but he was a little unable to make up his mind to encircle and suppress the rebels.
For a while, Tarke's mood was also entangled to the extreme.
"Please...... Please give me a moment to think about it. ”
Hearing this, Xue Li nodded.
The Wood Elf clan, after all, helped him treat a lot of wounded, and even saved the lives of many soldiers, and this bit of affection still has to be given.
"Tomorrow morning at the latest, I will send your first report to your majesty."
After speaking, Xue Li walked directly to the side and began to make follow-up preparations, while Talke, who stayed in place, fell into a deep entanglement.
After that, he struggled for most of the day, but he didn't get a reason for it, and finally found Adolf to discuss it together.
At the same time, what Xue Li said was almost untouched to Adolf.
Listening to Tarke's words, Adolf couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Adolf, Adolf?"
Looking at the stunned Adolf, Tark couldn't help but call him twice.
Adolf suddenly came back to his senses, compared to that Xue Li general, his patriarch was really more than a little bit worse.
Although Tark is the patriarch, he is inexperienced in this kind of thing because of the problems of the elders in the clan.
After a sigh in his heart, feeling Tarke's gaze falling on him, Adolf nodded.
"I think General Xue Li is right, he should teach those traitors a lesson. If they were to be spared so easily, they would probably make the same mistake a second, a third, or even a million times! ”
After getting his friend's answer, Tulk's confidence was obviously a little stronger.
Looking at Tarke's appearance, Adolf couldn't help but sigh, wanting to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say.
The next day, Tark gave a clear answer, encircled and suppressed the rebel party!
Xue Li, who got the answer, directly began to write the report, and then sent it out through the wind falcon.
I have to say, this wind falcon is really easy to use.
It's fast, long-lasting, loyal, and has almost no natural enemies.
Seriously, Xia Qidu wanted to meet the player who cultivated the Wind Falcon in person.
After the falcon was released, the people in the forest were not idle.
They began to pack their things and make their way to the location of the elven borough.
This forest is not safe, so the reason why Luke didn't come to encircle them is just because he has just successfully usurped the throne, and he is busy consolidating his position at this time, so he doesn't dare to leave the forest and run over.
It's dangerous to stay here for a long time, so it's better to leave quickly.
On the other side, after Xue Li and the others entered the border line south of the Elven Administrative Region, the Wind Falcon had also flown back to the palace of Great Xia City.
Looking at the letter in front of him, Xia Qi's mood was more or less complicated.
That Tark didn't have a problem, but it was the Wood Elves.
It seems that the internal situation of the Wood Elf clan is much more complicated than he expected.
Xia Qi decided in his heart that he would have to exercise this Talk in the future.
Otherwise, according to the description in Xue Li's report, this guy would really be difficult to take on a big job.
However, this was also after the Wood Elf rebellion was resolved.
As for resolving the rebellion of the Wood Elf clan, Xia Qi can currently think of two ways.
One, the siege of the city.
Now the reason why the wood elves dare to turn their faces is just because they have food in their hands.
But how much food do they have in their hands?
Even if they can barely survive the winter, how much strength will they have left?
As long as Xia Qi sends an army to surround their city, there is no need to attack the city at all, and when the ammunition is exhausted, the city will be destroyed!
The advantage of this method is that it can make the rebels surrender almost bloodlessly, and at the same time avoid casualties among themselves and the Wood Elf forces.
Of course, the disadvantage is that you have to send several times the enemy's forces to achieve the siege effect, and it is also time-consuming and laborious.
In addition, a large amount of supplies had to be consumed to support the besieging troops.
It will take five or six months to say that this comes and goes.
But with the current situation in Great Xia, Xia Qi is eager to race against time to develop, how can he have the spare time and extra troops to play any siege?
Therefore, this bloodless method is the next step for him.
In that case, the only way to do this is to be more direct.
directly fight those traitors and teach them to be honest.
If you want to achieve your goals at a small cost, you have to supplement it with targeted planning, especially when dealing with such an enemy who has the advantage of terrain.
