Chapter Eighty-Six: Moving Forward
The hyena robbers deserved the classic water dungeon treatment, and thankfully all of them persevered until noon the next day, finally earning the right to go ashore and rest.
This result surprised Councillor Karl slightly, and while watching the miserable image of these hyena bandits sitting on the shore crying and whimpering and stuffing food into their mouths, Councillor Carl was already considering whether to reduce a few "VIP slots".
As long as they can persevere, then Captain Cao will not be stingy with a little food to help them continue their lives. Since he is determined not to do things, Commander Cao will not fake the chaos of the ghosts.
But more than a hundred mouths are not a small number after all, and it is an indisputable fact that they consume the food of the looting group. What made Commander Cao a little unhappy was that the food and ≧≦ food captured during the defeat of them were not much, and according to the scale of their 3,000 people at that time, they could hold out for two or three days at most before they had to go hungry. Of course, if they can deliver food in time to survive a protracted war, they will not be unable to hold out.
In short, food seizures are limited. Thinking that the captured food would at most last last for a while, Commander Cao decided to pry some valuable information out of the mouths of these prisoners.
What made the prisoners speechless to the sky was that Captain Cao not only tortured them physically, but also mentally never let them go. When they were struggling in the water prison, as long as the head of the regiment Cao was idle, he would often bring a group of fierce thugs to come over to "greet" them cordially. Captain Cao's smile on these prisoners was as bright as if nothing had happened to them.
Captain Cao often cordially pulled up a few prisoners, and then chatted with them about life, asking them all kinds of unbelievable questions with a pleasant face, showing that he was very concerned about their lost children. One by one, the teachings of the temple, every word and every word, tell that he is a temple priest with a kind heart.
But discerning people have discovered that the problems of Commander Cao can be compiled together. Those problems are enough to make any normal person have a nervous breakdown and cry.
For example, how many robbers and bandits are there in this vast area. The number must be accurate to two decimal places, and the name of each of these robbers and bandits is what.
For example, the robbers and bandits in the Exiled Realm usually rob in what way, and whether they are creative. Will you dance if you succeed, and will you cry bitterly if you fail? They have been in the business for so many years, and what is the success rate of robbery.
Another example is the equipment of these indigenous robbers and bandits, whether they eat well every day, and whether they are warmly dressed. How to spend time in your spare time, why is the hairstyle such a non-mainstream style in the countryside. In addition to robbery, they also have a life without personality and a noble pursuit at the spiritual level.
For example, whether they have relatives and friends. Do they have the heavy pressure of supporting their families, and do their relatives and friends know that they are doing this promising career of robbing families and giving up all their money. Is there a house at home, is there a car, is the object of inheritance to be found through a blind date arranged marriage, or is it through guò own love style you and I want to realize.
There are also more advanced questions, such as from the perspective of life philosophy, where did the past time of these robbers and bandits end, and where will the future time begin?
Whether their daily work belongs to the harmony of yin and yang, or to the cycle of the five elements.
For example, are there six reincarnations in this world, and if so, what is the causal connection between the robbers and bandits in this life and the next life? Their descendants will follow in their footsteps and repeat the mistakes of the past. Or will it bring a different kind of vitality to the industry?
Head Cao also felt that in the friendly relationship with each other, he was more or less inevitably a little inconsiderate, which must have left a certain psychological shadow on the prisoners, but how big is the area of this shadow?
These are all questions that need to be verified in front of Head Cao. The only person who can answer his question is the person concerned.
Every question must be answered, and the thinking time should not exceed ten seconds. Once the person being questioned shows signs of confusion, Captain Cao and a group of followers will look at them wrongly, and they will use some "kind" physical contact to give them a hint.
After several days of torture. All the prisoners learned to answer.
The code is also indispensable, and the head of the Cao regiment will find people one by one to match the code, "Di Zhen Gaogang." A faction of streams and mountains through the ages".
The prisoners whose literary background is not as rich as the soldiers of the plundering regiment naturally can't answer "The door faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for ten thousand years."
If you hesitate for a second, you will immediately be put on the hat of the remnants of the previous dynasty and dragged out for a fat beating.
Since that series of cruel tests, whenever Commander Cao really wants to know any questions, all the subordinate prisoners have rushed to tell the answers, hoping to enter a new round of safe areas.
If they are happy, Captain Cao will pat their heads and pinch their buttocks, and they will smoke and hook their shoulders and call each other brothers. Not only does it save them from the pain of a meat meal, but it also makes them feel like they're dreaming with delicious food and drink.
All the prisoners understood that this big back had an extremely contradictory two-faced personality, and that he was the product of an alliance between angels and demons. At the same time, they also understood that in front of this big back, all the cunning and the city government were a joke.
Playing with people's psychology has always been a major strength of Captain Cao, and these prisoners are obviously not strong-willed heroes. You just need to let them understand what cooperation means first, and then the rest of the matter is much simpler.
The information that these subordinate prisoners can bring to Captain Cao is actually very comprehensive, just because they have always been bandits floating around. Compared with the old man Ao, who has lived here for many years and doesn't like to walk around much, their information is fresher and more flavorful of current news.
Commander Cao's ambition can be seen, and after crippling the Jinzhou bandits, Commander Cao did not stop his thoughts of preparing to expand his sphere of influence. In addition to the former overlord of the Golden State Gang, there are many small bandit gangs here, and these information needs to be provided by these subordinate prisoners.
Commander Cao stubbornly believes that now is the time to let the raiding group and these target gangs get to know each other, and before letting them know the raiding group, the people of the raiding group must understand them first, which is in line with Captain Cao's strategic plan to know himself and his enemy. No matter how small the bandit gang is, Captain Cao will not take it lightly.
After a few days, when those subordinate prisoners could not protect themselves, where would they think about the life and death of other bandits, and they all searched their stomachs and sold out all their peers who could be betrayed. Looking at the more and more detailed and detailed markings on the military map, Regiment Commander Cao smiled with satisfaction.
For the contributions of these subordinate prisoners, Captain Cao also gave them a certain amount of reward. From now on, they will double the number of "VIP seats" in the water dungeon, and double the time they spend resting every day. Just such a decision that didn't cost money, but it made the prisoners grateful to Dade, and they couldn't wait to kneel down and kiss Captain Cao's boots.
What a good child! It doesn't cost them so much to make them so happy, and if it weren't for their appetite, they would have been relatively easy to feed.
Holding the military map that was regarded as life, Commander Cao found Old Man Ao and Sect Leader Pi. Spreading out the results of many days of hard work, Head Cao's affectionate eyes seemed to be looking at his lover. This made Luo Han's little hand on his shoulder suddenly heavier, obviously Xiao Nizi was a little dissatisfied with his incomprehensible style.
It's a pity that with the strength of Luo Han's small hand, the aggravation was only exchanged for a comfortable moan from this thing. Old man Ao held a bowl of steaming soup, looked at the young man and woman, and suddenly lost his smile.
"Dude, this time...... It's really going to be on fire! Come on, you see. One of the fingers of the head of the regiment moved again and again on the map that he had marked secretly, and said, "This, this, and this." Can you imagine how many bandit gangs coexist in the territory controlled by the Jinzhou bandits? There are more than 40 bandit gangs of various sizes! There are 500 or 600 more people and dozens of fewer people. ”
Listening to the overjoyed tone of Head Cao, he was obviously not complaining.
"Why can't you imagine? What do you think this is? This is the land of exile, not Sri Lanka. Tilt Church rolled his eyes.
"That's right, but now this area is the scope of our raiding group's activities, and these bandit gangs that are not competitive will be important customers to increase the gross production value of our raiding regiment and generate income for us!"
"Don't you continue to toss the Golden State bandits?" Sect Leader Pi thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Captain Cao's smiling face a little strangely.
It's not just that the head of Pi Jiao is a little puzzled, but Old Man Ao is also a little unbelievable. With the personality of Regiment Leader Cao, the Golden State bandits' large-scale attack this time has already made this thing angry. Now that the Golden State Bandits have been disabled, this thing does not mention the barren mountain where the Golden State Bandits are located, but targets those small bandit gangs, which is indeed very different from his style.
"If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?"
"Not bad, yes, worthy of being a quirky little bastard......" Unlike the head of the leather sect, Old Man Ao pondered for a moment, and an old face also smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were almost squeezed into one place.
The appearance of the head of the regiment and the old man Ao made the Pi Jiao even more confused.
"Pi Er was stunned, don't say that I belittle you, you are a good hand at fighting. But in the heat of controlling the overall situation, you must also have a lot of further education to get it. Cao Dabang glanced at Pi Jiaotou with disgust, and without waiting for Pi Jiaotou to speak, he patted the table again seriously, and said: "Listen, from now on, our plundering group will become the No. 1 bandit in this land." The first step of the long march, we are going out!" (To be continued......)
