On the banks of the Nankang River, about 30 Nanzhao natives dressed in sackcloth and animal skins, armed with iron spears and stone knives, are roaring and screaming from all directions, like a huge net, hunting a group of demon beasts that eat grass and drink water by the river.

Then the encirclement shrank sharply, and the demon beasts that couldn't dodge were either killed with a knife or stabbed to the ground, blood flowed everywhere, and the strong smell of blood emanated out, which made them scream and excited.

On the banks of the Nankang River, about 30 Nanzhao natives dressed in sackcloth and animal skins, armed with iron spears and stone knives, are roaring and screaming from all directions, like a huge net, hunting a group of demon beasts that eat grass and drink water by the river.

Then the encirclement shrank sharply, and the demon beasts that couldn't dodge were either killed with a knife or stabbed to the ground, blood flowed everywhere, and the strong smell of blood emanated out, which made them scream and excited.

An older native, with a colorful tail feather on his head, probably the leader of this group, suddenly flashed a trace of doubt on his face, and scolded his companions to be quiet, and then the earth shook, and when he turned around, his pupils constricted, and a black tide came like a dragon, and he shouted in Nanzhao with all his might:

"Run, there are foreigners invading the territory of Nanzhao, go and tell the big chief. After speaking, he took the lead and ran frantically in the direction of the Nankang River.

At the same time, Lin Ze, who was galloping on a horse, saw the natives in the distance with sharp eyes, and laughed: "It's really lucky, I just met the natives." He immediately ordered loudly: "The first team and the second team will surround from the side and release fishing nets, and this army division will live." ”

The Celestial Wolf Army immediately split into three and surrounded it like the natives were hunting demon beasts.

Immediately, Lin Ze handed a fishing net handed over by the guards to Qingfeng, pointed to the little leader who ran the fastest, and said to Qingfeng: "Trouble elder, catch that one for me, and I want to live." ”

Breeze...... Then he sprang up helplessly, like a big bird, and tied the fishing net to the little leader, and gave him a few quick strokes on him, completely restraining him.

At the same time, the teams of the Heavenly Wolf Army gradually approached and quickly tied up the Nanzhao natives who had no way out, either with fishing nets or ropes.

Of course, there are natives who are dishonest and want to yell and rush up desperately, although the Sky Wolf Army strictly obeys Lin Ze's orders and fails to kill them, but they don't have their hands and feet, except for the one caught by Qingfeng, the others have more or less suffered a little.

Finally, 32 natives with blue noses and swollen faces were escorted to kneel in a row, anxiously waiting for Lin Ze's disposal.

The little leader with a feather on his head kept scolding with Nanzhao: "You bandits, get out of our homeland, or wait until the big leader is angry and kill you all." ”

Lin Ze asked Ren Huan next to him, "Can General Ren understand what he is talking about?"

Ren Huan listened carefully and said: "It seems to be Nanzhao, this time I happened to bring a few soldiers who can speak Nanzhao, so I called them over." ”

Later, a few soldiers who knew Nanzhao were brought over, and Lin Ze pointed to one casually: "Ask them who they are, which tribe they come from, and how many people there are in the tribe." ”

The soldier took a few steps forward and said in Nanzhao according to Lin Ze's meaning, the little leader's face changed greatly, and he said several words at the soldier.

The soldier then said to Lin Ze: "Tell your lordship, he refused to answer and scolded us for being robbers. ”

Lin Ze's face turned cold: "Come on, grab a native, and put the knife on the native's neck." Then he said to the soldier, "Tell him that from now on if you ask a question, and if he does not answer it for more than ten breaths, I will kill one of his people until all of them die before him." ”

The soldier said it to the little leader, and the little leader struggled non-stop, and even quickly said a piece of Nanzhao language.

The soldier said hesitantly, "My lord, he said that you are a devil and you must not die well." "Actually, what the little leader said was ten times worse than that, and the soldiers really didn't have the courage to translate it directly.

Lin Ze said to himself: "Ask him where he is from and where the tribe is." ”

The soldier relayed: "My lord, he still refused to answer. ”

Lin Ze stretched out his left hand, fell down, and said coldly: "Kill." ”

The soldier immediately raised his broadsword and fell, and then the head of the unlucky native, who was the first to be caught, rolled neatly in front of the little leader.

The little leader was even more angry, Lin Ze didn't understand it anyway, and said to the interpreting soldier, "Keep asking." ”

After cutting off three heads in a row, the small indigenous leader finally couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure and answered the first question.

Lin Ze learned from this that this group of natives came from a tribe called Tongguzhai, and the tribe was on a mountain in the middle of the mountains, only twenty miles away.

Lin Ze asked with a hint of a smile: "Ask him how many people there are in the tribe and what their strength is." ”

"There are more than 3,000 people in the Tongguzhai tribe in total, all of whom are above the level of beast blood warriors," said this, and the soldier then explained: "My lord, the beast blood warriors of Nanzhao refer to the fact that the men in the clan must hunt a demon beast alone when they become adults, and baptize themselves with beast blood. ”

Lin Ze nodded: "You ask him, how many people in the Tongguzhai tribe are like him?"

The soldier then muttered a few more words to the little leader, and replied: "A golden-feathered warrior like him, there are more than forty people in the entire Tonggu Village, including the big leader and the clan elders. ”

Lin Ze's face was a little dignified, one in a hundred miles is a medium grade, is the strength of a tribe in Nanzhao so strong?

"You ask him again, similar to Tonggu Village, how many tribes are there in Nanzhao?"

"My lord, as far as he knows, there are more than 100 tribes like Tonggu Village in Nanzhao, and the strongest is the Nanzhao Royal Court, with 60,000 beast blood warriors under his command. ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said to Chen Ping: "You take these brothers, take people down, interrogate them carefully, and let him draw out the map of Nanzhao, as well as other things he knows, and take them out." ”

Chen Ping took the order and left.

Lin Ze was not worried that this indigenous little head would not cooperate and betray this kind of thing, once it started, there was no way to stop.

Lin Ze then asked Han Xin to prepare to choose a nearby place to camp in response to the upcoming war.

Han Xin chose a sloping area near the river bank as the camp where the Sky Wolf Army was about to be stationed, and sent someone to draw a sketch to inform Hu Hai and Lin Ze. Hu Hai looked at the art of war, but he didn't have any other opinions.

After Lin Ze looked at it, he followed a circle: "The camp has been expanded three times, more wells have been dug, all the water used by the army is drawn from the wells, Qianyuan has arranged special personnel to guard it, and it is tested every day, so as to ensure that the water source is clean, and the water that the wolf army goes up and drinks must be boiled." ”

Hu Hai couldn't help asking, "Lin Ze, are you worried that someone will put poison in the river?"

Lin Ze shook his head: "It's not just poison, there are many wizards in southern Xinjiang, and they are the best at refining Gu, if someone puts Gu in the water, the whole army will be finished." ”

As for the construction and defense arrangements of the camp, Lin Ze handed them all over to Han Xin and Chen Ping, and only asked them to pass them six words: "Build a high wall and accumulate grain".

Lin Ze believed that with their ingenuity, they would naturally understand what they meant.

War is approaching.
