Chen Yue, supported by Adotu and escorted by the guards, returned to the tribe safely, but this scene was also seen by many people.

At first, it was only thought that the two of them were in danger. Later, a certain guard, drunk, told the story of what he had seen that night.

For a while, the matter of Chen Yue and Aduotu became a hot topic of discussion after dinner.

......

"Tell me about the tribe we are going to conquer this time. Chen Yue stood on the deck, with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed, commanding the people around him.

He was the general of the barbarian army at this time, and was responsible for foreign conquests, defeating and subduing other barbarian tribes.

It's been a month since Adotu helped Chen Yue back.

During this period, apart from being talked about and inexplicably becoming a barbarian general, nothing special happened.

"Commander Hui" The man who was one position worse than Chen Yue clasped his fists and said: "After a month of fighting, we have subdued most of the tribes of the Southern Barbarians, and now there are only three large tribes left, namely the Eternal Night, the Aurora, and the Atu Clan. ”

"Because the Eternal Night Tribe and the Aurora Tribe are allied and adjacent, our target this time is the Atu Clan. ”

"A-Tu, who is known for his bravery?" Chen Yue muttered in a low voice, then took out the topographical map of the location of the A-Tu tribe drawn by the scout.

As one of the three large tribes of the Southern Barbarians, Atu naturally occupies an excellent position.

The northwest side of their tribe is surrounded by endless mountains and forests, and according to intelligence, a large number of fierce beasts are domesticated in them, and these fierce beasts do not seek to kill the attacking enemy, but serve as an alarm.

The Atu tribe itself is a tribe with heavy force, as long as it is not quietly touched by others, with their strength, they can naturally easily repel the attacking enemy.

If Nanban has a force list, then the Atu tribe must be ranked first.

To the south of the Atu tribe is a turbulent river called the Erluo River, which is a relatively characteristic river with a large number of resources in it.

Although Elo is an inland river, the fluctuation of the river is not inferior to that of the Spirit Sea, and some low-level small boats cannot sail on the Elo River at all, and the ships are too large to be easily discovered, and they cannot have a surprise effect.

Chen Yue couldn't refine so many spirit boats in such a short time, and besides, the Atu tribe also had a good water army, so it was impossible to let Chen Yue and them go ashore.

Therefore, it is impossible to attack from the water.

Chen Yue analyzed according to the development degree of the Nanban civilization: "The news of the barbarian land is backward, they must not know that we have conquered almost all the tribes in a month, and they are still dreaming of their own clan." ”

"The order goes down. Chen Yue looked at the sun hanging in the sky, half of it had "disappeared" into the sky, and the red glow was reflected on everyone's faces.

Chen Yue turned to look at the ready captains behind him, and ordered:

"Stopping a thousand miles away from the Atu tribe, everyone gathered their breath, used the night as a cover, and after approaching the Atu tribe, I personally launched an attack on the Atu tribe. ”

"Ananda, this time it's up to you to guard their retreat. Chen Yue said to a young lieutenant: "According to intelligence, the Atu tribe has dug a tunnel in the mountains to the north as a way out when the tribe is in danger. ”

Ananda is a young man Chen Yue is more optimistic about, he is very brave in battle at a young age, and his tactics are also flexible.

After the young general named Ananda heard Chen Yue's words, his original excitement instantly dropped, and he said dejectedly: "Yes......"

"Remember, if you can be captured, you will be captured, and I will use them to persuade others to surrender. Chen Yue instructed: "The Atu clan is strong, except for the first wave of surprise attacks, we can't take advantage of anything at all, if we attack Atu, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses." ”

"So, we need to build momentum in the first wave and let them know that we are different from other raiders, that we are stronger, that we are strong enough to threaten the survival of their tribe, and that we will force them to transfer the old and weak women and children in their tribe. ”

"After the surprise attack broke through the perimeter of the camp, I besieged but did not attack, and at that time, I relied on the old and weak women and children you captured to persuade them to surrender. ”

"This ......" As soon as Chen Yue finished speaking, the people below all looked at each other, although they didn't speak, their eyes had already expressed their meaning.

They have a straightforward personality, and the previous conquest wars were all fought directly and hard, like this kind of thing that threatens others to surrender with the old and weak, they really haven't done it, and deep down they resist this practice.

After hearing this, Ananda directly said that he couldn't do it: "General, this is really not suitable for me, I would rather go to the battlefield and fight hard, even if it is to die on the battlefield, than to draw a knife against a group of old and weak." ”

Chen Yue glanced at Ananda and did not speak.

These days, Chen Yue has established absolute majesty in front of them, and Ananda was stared at by Chen Yue like this, his body couldn't help but tremble a few times, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Chen Yue ignored Ananda, looked around, and found that the captains below all had this attitude: they would rather die on the battlefield than do such "dirty" things.

Chen Yue looked at them quietly and did not speak for a long time. These people were all promoted by him, and they all made good military exploits before they were promoted to their current positions.

They lowered their heads under Chen Yue's gaze.

This was the first time they had disobeyed Chen Yue's orders.

"I can understand your feelings. Chen Yue said calmly.

"The Atu tribe is not comparable to the tribes we conquered before, he is one of the three major tribes of the Southern Barbarians. ”

"It is known for its bravery, and although the tactical level is very low, its combat power should not be underestimated. ”

"It can be said that our soldiers have been completely destroyed by them in all aspects! If we fight head-on, even if I defeat the true immortals of the Atu tribe in time, I will free up my hands to help you, and next time, it will be a miracle that half of you here can be here. ”

As soon as Chen Yue's words fell, some people wanted to say that they were not afraid of death. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Chen Yue.

"Jin Duo, Lu Lin, Ajie, Chihuo, Yin Ling, Dafeng ......" As Chen Yue said his names one by one, those who wanted to show that they were not afraid of death settled down.

The atmosphere on the deck fell to freezing point for a while, and no one made any more noise, until Chen Yue finished reading the names one by one.

"Ananda. ”

"Huh?" Ananda was in a sad state, and was suddenly frightened by Chen Yue's voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, Jin Duo died because of you, right?" Chen Yue looked at Ananda and asked, "Do you remember how he died?"

"Remember!" Ananda sobbed and said, "Jinduo was pierced by five spears to save me, and then an arrow pierced through the soul. ”

"And do you remember what he told you?"

"Yes. Ananda was reminded of the memories he didn't want to recall, his mood became more and more depressed, his eyes became more and more red, and he said with a trill: "He told me to live well and protect the people around me as much as possible." ”

He added. Ananda sobbed a little, and continued: "Let me live his share, he can't see the unified barbarian land, let me tell him to ask for a ...... at his grave when the time comes."

Chen Yue saw that Ananda was already like this, so he "let go" of him and asked others in the same way.

After a while, only a slight sobbing sound remained on the entire deck.

Chen Yue looked at the captains who hid their faces and wept, they were more or less saved by someone if they could get to this point today.

"You're not alone. Chen Yue said softly: "What you are carrying is the hope of countless dead people, they hope that there will be no more war in Nanban, no more random killing for a little resource, human life is not as worthless as weeds, you can cut it if you want." ”

"The reason why they took up arms and fought was because they wanted to see a new Nanban, a Nanban without war. ”

"For the sake of future generations, they have given their most precious lives, and you, if you want to do something, you are not willing. ”

"Really, I don't feel worth it for those people because they saved a bunch of hypocritical softasses. Chen Yue tried to keep herself calm.

"Today, for the sake of your hypocritical kindness, you sacrifice more people's lives, so that countless people will become golden flowers and countless people will become beneficial!"

"Think for yourself. Chen Yue sighed, looked at the sun in the sky, and said to them, "You still have half an hour to think." After finishing speaking, Chen Yue was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Ananda.

"General, can you promise not to kill them?" Ananda looked at Chen Yue with red eyes, and said: "I was too selfish before, but I really didn't want to stab the old and weak women and children, you also said, just let them persuade them to surrender, if the persuasion fails, I hope you can let them go." ”

"Seconded!"

As soon as Ananda finished speaking, someone chimed in.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

One, two, and finally it becomes the request of all the staff.

Chen Yue looked at them, both helpless and moved.

Helplessly, they never listen to their own words.

He just asked them to intercept the "tinder" of the Atu tribe and persuade them to surrender with the tinder.

Unexpectedly, they thought they would kill those old and weak women and children.

Am I so brutal? Chen Yue touched his nose, did he do something a little brutal?

What is touching is that these people have not lost themselves in the frequent killing of a month, and they all still retain some humanity.

In this short month, everyone experienced hundreds of fights, sometimes more than twenty fights a day.

Thankfully, none of them lost themselves and held on to their last humanity.

"Who do you think I am?" Chen Yue smiled and said to Ananda: "Are you afraid that I will fail to persuade you to surrender, and directly attack those old and weak women and children, right?"

"Yes. Ananda looked directly into Chen Yue's eyes and nodded.

"Oh, stinking imp. Chen Yue scolded with a smile, "Go ahead and prepare, I agreed to your request." ”
