Chapter 154

"Hehe, the city lord has a heart, let's talk about it after the battle is over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI think that your general is in danger, he is no match for the barbarian general. Yun Fei glanced at the general of the city guard who was fighting with the barbarian general and said.

"How does the hero know? General Pang Rong is fighting a battle, and he doesn't show his defeat!" said Xi Ju strangely. At this time, Pang Rong, who was fighting with the barbarian general, did not show his defeat, but with Xiju's eyesight, he had not yet seen that the barbarian general was playing tricks on him. Xiju can't see it, can't Yunfei still see it?

Yun Fei dropped the bladed scimitar in his hand and took a hard bow from the hand of the soldier next to him. "City Lord, please look. ”

I saw the barbarian general who was fighting with Pang Rong, the corners of his mouth were hideous, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. The giant hammer in the barbarian general's hand flipped over and went straight to Pang Rong's head.

Pang Rong fought the barbarian generals for a long time, and he was very anxious. At first glance, when he saw the barbarian general attacking with a giant hammer, his chest was wide open, and he thought that he had an opportunity. In fact, the barbarian general opened the door on purpose, deliberately revealing the flaws, just waiting for Pang Rong to be fooled.

Pang Rong was really fooled!

Pang Rong danced with a jujube lance in his hand, clamped the horse's belly between his feet, and hit the barbarian general's chest with a lance. When the jujube lance was still a foot away from the barbarian general's chest, Pang Rong could almost imagine the scene of the barbarian general's chest shattering and dying. Killing the enemy's main general on the battlefield is a huge credit. Think right away

"Whoosh" A black light flashed.

Xi Ju saw it clearly, was shocked, and said hurriedly: "General Pang, be careful of the hidden weapon!"

The barbarian general deliberately exposed his flaws, and Pang Rong was really fooled. When Reshuge heard Xiju's shout, Pang Rong felt bad. However, the barbarian general's hidden weapon shot out from his giant hammer, and Pang Rong was so close at hand, how could he dodge?

"My life is at rest!" Pang Rong lamented. Pang Rong has been fighting against barbarians in Yingcheng for more than ten years, but he didn't expect to die on the battlefield today, or because of carelessness, Pang Rong was unwilling.

"General Pang, don't worry, I will take good care of your wife, children and mother. Xiju secretly made up his mind. According to the law of Great Qin, officers and soldiers who died on the battlefield were exempt from tax for ten years, and the state also had to support the old and young in their families. It was with this law that the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army was strong. The officers and soldiers have no worries, who still does not fight bravely to kill the enemy and charge ahead?

"Whoosh" an arrow is like a meteor catching the moon, and the last one comes first.

The sound of the metal striking of the "bell" was deafening, and a splash of sparks.

"This" Pang Rong escaped from the scythe of death, and he didn't react at all in his heart. An arrow that suddenly appeared hit a three-inch-long black cone, which surprised and delighted Pang Rong. "When did we have such a marksman in Yingcheng?" Pang Rong said secretly.

"Hiss" Xiju gasped. "Hero, not only are you strong in cultivation, but you are also very good at shooting bows and arrows, admire!" Xiju was shocked.

"It's not good, the enemy has a marksman, retreat!" the barbarian general was so frightened that his soul was scared. If the arrow just now was not aimed at his black cone hidden weapon, but at his head, then how could he have his life? Although the barbarian general was rough and irritable, he was by no means a fool, and he knew that a master had come to Yingcheng today, so he didn't dare to fight, gave up Pang Rong, and retreated.

As soon as the main general withdrew, the barbarian soldiers immediately scattered into the 100,000 mountains.

When the fighting stopped, some of the soldiers who survived looked at the cold corpses of their former comrades and wept, some collected the heads of barbarians and asked for merit, and some carried the corpses and cleaned up the battlefield. Tens of thousands of soldiers, mercenaries, and ordinary people in Nancheng are busy with their own things, so let's not mention them for the time being.

"Today's repelling the attack of the barbarians, the heroes have made a lot of contributions. Xi Ju smiled happily.

"Hehe, Xiju, don't you know me?" Yun Fei asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Bold, dare to call the name of the city lord!" shouted the military general next to Xiju.

Xi Ju glared at the mouthy general, and then asked tentatively, "I don't know who the hero is."

"Hehe, who do you think I am?" Yunfei said, removing the disguise from his face.

"You, you are Lord Zhenguo!" Xi Ju looked at this handsome and immature face, recognized Yun Fei, and exclaimed in surprise. The military general who scolded Yun Fei just now was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to pass by Yingcheng, but I met barbarians attacking Yingcheng, Xiju, can you tell me why?" Yun Fei ignored the military general who kowtowed and bled blood, and said directly to Xiju.

"Lord Zhenguo, please come with me. The city lord's mansion is described in one word, simple, very simple! The furnishings and decorations in the mansion are inferior to those of ordinary wealthy families. In this way, it can be seen that Xiju is a usable talent who governs honestly.

"Lord Zhenguo, ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. Xiju invited Yunfei and the others into the hall of the mansion. A servant brought tea and retreated, and there were guards standing outside the door, and there were five people left in the house, plus Xiju, a total of six.

"Xiju, you have managed Yingcheng well, I am very satisfied. Yun Fei nodded in praise.

"Lord Xie Zhenguo praised falsely. However, this winter, the barbarians are extremely short of food, and counting today, they have attacked a total of three times. Relying on the patronage of Lord Zhenguo, Yingcheng's strength increased greatly and repelled the first two attacks of the barbarians. Today, the barbarians are all strong troops, and if it weren't for the presence of Lord Zhenguogong, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to repel the barbarians. Xiju said truthfully.

"Oh, the barbarians are so desperately short of food, would they rather sacrifice the lives of their clansmen than attack the city and plunder the land to grab the food?"

"Your Excellency is right. An adult barbarian can definitely eat ten times more than us in a day, which is too good to eat. Relying on the products of the 100,000 mountains alone, they can only guarantee that they will not starve to death, and if they want to eat, they can only stretch out their claws to Yingcheng. ”

"It's so edible!" Yun Fei was shocked. How can a hundred thousand mountains, which are already short of resources, be able to support barbarians if they eat the food of ten people? No wonder they would rather come desperately to grab food.

Speaking of being able to eat, there is something more edible here than the barbarians, and that is Xiaohuo. Jin Zilan looked at Xiaohuo playfully at this time, and Xiaohuo lowered her head in shame. If others dared to look at him like that, he would have to break the other person's neck. But Jin Zilan looked at him, he didn't dare to let a fart go, the boss's woman, he couldn't afford to hurt it.

"How many barbarians are there, and if we can provide them with food, won't we be spared the chaos of war and the calamities of war? Yun Fei had a bold idea in his heart.

"Lord Zhenguo, how can we give them food?" Since ancient times, the contradiction between Yingcheng and the barbarians has been irresolvable, all for food, how can Yingcheng compromise and send food to the barbarians?

"Let's be honest, I've got my own opinion. ”

"Yes. "Xiju can only do what Yunfei wants. "No one knows how many barbarians there are, but the total number should be no less than 10 million. However, there are more than 100,000 barbarians in the hundreds of miles around Yingcheng, which can be regarded as a big force in the 100,000 mountains. If Lord Zhenguo wants to give food to the barbarians, this is not a small amount. Xiju said. Indeed, 100,000 barbarians, equivalent to millions of Great Qin people, consume more than a fraction of the grain, and Yingcheng cannot afford to provide it.

"100,000 people, a little more, but it's not impossible. Compared to fighting every year, with countless casualties, what is a little food?" Yun Fei weighed the pros and cons.

"Could it be that Lord Zhenguo has a way?" asked Xiju.

"What is the attitude of the common people towards the barbarians?" Yun Fei did not answer Xi, "The barbarians have robbed grain and killed countless people every year, and of course the common people hate them to the core. ”

"Grievances should be resolved, not settled. Xiju, as the city lord, you must think about the people. Do you see how it can be done: we will open the city to the barbarians around Yingcheng and let them come into the city, so that "Before Yunfei finished speaking, Xiju was shocked.

"Lord Zhenguo, don't do it. If the barbarians entered the city, it would not be overturned, and more people would die. Xiju didn't dare to imagine what it would be like for the barbarians to enter the city.

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to what I've to say. The barbarians have great strength in life and are not weak in cultivation, and when they enter the city, they can be mercenaries, guards, and city guards, so that they can not support themselves? In this way, the barbarians no longer have to worry about food, and their livelihood has been settled, can they continue to attack Yingcheng?"

After Yunfei finished speaking, Xi Ju's eyes lit up, and he said worriedly. "After all, there is only one city in Yingcheng, and the place is small, so it can't solve the livelihood problem for so many barbarians. ”

"This is simple, open all the five cities under my hands, and I believe there will be no big problem. "Yunfei plans to open his territory to the barbarians.

"But can the barbarians agree? Can the people of the five cities agree?" Xiju considered the problem more comprehensively, thinking about both the other party and himself.

"I can issue a lord's decree that the common people must not discriminate against and hate the barbarians, and if anyone violates them, they will be killed. As for the barbarians, I can go to their tribes and consult with their elders. This is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, I believe they will agree, after all, there is no benefit to anyone by calling around. ”

"Lord Zhenguo is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, in this way, won't the problem that has been unsolvable for thousands of years be solved? Not only can the barbarians and the people of Great Qin live in peace, but they can also enhance the national strength of Great Qin, after all, barbarians are the best soldiers. Xiju said in surprise. The rulers of the past dynasties did not want to live in peace with the barbarians, but blindly suppressed and killed, although this means can temporarily stabilize the situation, but after all, it is not a long-term peace and stability, once and for all.

"Well, let's do it. After we have lunch in the house, we will go to the barbarian tribe, and you will be ready to inform the people about it. Yunfei finally clapped his head.

There was not much time, and someone served wine and food, and Yunfei and they had a big meal. Although the wine and food were not particularly rich, it was better than the barbecue that Yunfei and they usually ate, so everyone ate to their heart's content.

"Xiju, you can post my meaning to the common people, and at the same time convey it to the other four cities, so that they must obey. Let's go to the barbarian tribe and discuss the opening of the five cities. After Yun Fei finished explaining, he set off with Iron Spine, Linghu Yanyang, Jin Zilan, and Xiaohuo.

Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Sect Master Aurusgao sat in the hall, and below him were the elders, worshippers, and disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. I saw that Aurus's face was sinking like water, and his eyes were gloomy, "Great Elder, have you done what this sect has ordered you to do? Now not only is there no news of Foss, but even those few strong people have not heard from them, what are you doing to eat?" Orus was furious, slapped his chair with his hand, and stood up. The chair was slapped angrily by him, and it suddenly turned into fine crumbs and scattered on the ground.

The people below were silent, and they didn't even dare to come out. The suzerain is angry, and it will kill people.

"Sect Master's anger!" the Great Elder stood up from his chair tremblingly, bowed down and said. "Those strong men are not idle people, otherwise we would have caught them a long time ago. I have sent my subordinates to investigate and covert visits, and I believe that news will come soon. As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, a flying eagle flew outside and landed on the Great Elder's arm.

"There's news. There was a commotion in the crowd.

The Great Elder hurriedly took down the letter tied to the Flying Eagle's leg and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Sect Master, there is already news. The letter said that those powerhouses made a big fuss in the Huang family in Qinglong City, and then the people from Kuaidaomen and Wuji Dao chased all the way to Optimus Peak. Our people have seen a lot of undead corpses on Optimus Peak, and we don't know what's going on. After that, the people of the Quick Knife Gate and the Wuji Dao disappeared along with those few powerhouses. ”

"Gone? Is there any news from Foss?"

"Back to the sect master, our people have not seen the shadow of the young sect master. ”

"Foss, I'm afraid," Orus said softly. "The Huang family of Qinglong City, Optimus Peak, and this sect know, they must have gone to the south. Aurus thought.

"South?"

"Yes, if this sect is not mistaken, they must have gone to the Savage Lands. ”

"Savage Land?" The powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were all taken aback.

"Sect Master, are you saying that they took refuge in the Savage Land?" the Great Elder asked.

"Yes! They must have gone south. If you want to avoid our capture, the Savage Lands is the best choice. But don't think that we won't be able to catch you in the wilderness, huh!" said Orus angrily.

"Sect Master, are we going to the Savage Land? Wouldn't that cause misunderstanding among the powerhouses of the Savage Land? We and them are not in the well water, and there is never a conflict of interest, so we rush forward," the Great Elder said worriedly.

"Yes, the Savage Land is a terrifying place, if it causes their misunderstanding, our Ten Thousand Demon Sect will be suspended. The Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect also agreed.

"If a large number of strong people rush in, it will definitely arouse their hostility. But what if we only send a few strong men, and the gods don't know it? You know, those strong men have a lot of artifacts on them. At that time, the sect was worried about Fus, and he was so angry that he simply ignored the artifacts on their bodies. Especially the young man, "Yes, we didn't pay attention at the time, it turned out that those strong men had a large number of artifacts on their bodies, otherwise it would be impossible to run." Artifact, artifact, we must get it in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. Everyone below thought to themselves.

"Great Elder, this time I will make a hard trip for you, taking the Second Elder, the Third Elder, and ten strong people to the Savage Land. Aurus ordered.

"I will live up to the order of the sect master!" the three old men replied loudly at the same time. The three of them are the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. It's fat to hunt down those strong people, of course they gladly agreed.

Yun Fei didn't know that the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had chased them to the Savage Land for the sake of the artifact on their bodies. At this time, he took Iron Spine and the others and was on his way to the barbarian tribe.

Yun Fei and the others didn't know that the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect coveted the artifacts on their bodies, sent the three major elders, and the ten powerhouses quietly sneaked into the barbaric land. At this time, Yun Fei was taking Tie Zhi and others to intersperse in the 100,000 mountains, looking for the barbarian tribe.

"Brother Yunfei, the 100,000 mountains and forests are dense and endless, where can I find the barbarians?" Iron Spine asked impatiently. A dignified god realm sub-god general-level powerhouse is actually looking for barbarians in the mountains and mountains, if his friends in the god realm know, he won't laugh off his big teeth?

"Soon, we have now penetrated into the 100,000 mountains for dozens of miles, and we should have arrived at the gathering place of the barbarians. As soon as Yun Fei finished speaking, he heard Linghu Yanyang exclaim.

"Look, there's a stone house there. With Linghu Yanyang's gaze, everyone saw that there was really a stone house in a hundred zhang ahead. This stone house is a few points taller than the stone house inhabited by humans, and at first glance it is known to be the residence of barbarians.

"It's easy to have a stone house appear, which means that the barbarian tribe is close at hand. Yunfei said happily.

Yunfei and the others flew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the door of the stone house. At this moment, I heard the wooden door of the stone house squeak open, and out of it came two barbarians armed with giant axes.

"Ah, it's an innate powerhouse!" The two barbarians exclaimed when they saw Yun Fei and the others standing in the air, and quickly threw the giant axe in their hands on the ground, trembling with fright.

Two twin barbarian brothers with only sixth-level strength, how dare they resist when they see the five innate powerhouses at first glance?

"Whatever I ask you, you must answer truthfully, or you will bear the consequences!" do you understand?" said Iron Spine with a fierce look.

How dare the two low-level barbarians say a word, and nodded vigorously in agreement.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Abu, and he is my brother, and his name is Ashan. A barbarian with a centipede scar on his face replied with a shudder.

"Where is your tribe?"

"In"

"Say it quickly, or burn down your house and sell your wives and children!" Iron Spine threatened through gritted teeth. This trick really worked, and the barbarian, who was going to squeak and not say anything, confessed truthfully.

"Not far ahead, our tribe. Kill us, and don't hurt our wives and children," said the barbarian. The barbarians have a small population, and they attach great importance to reproduction, and passing on the lineage is their top priority. They would rather die themselves than let the descendants of the barbarians suffer a little harm. The barbarian child is the hope of the revitalization of the barbarians, and he can't bear the slightest loss.

"As long as you can say what we want to know, we will not embarrass you. This time, we will not be hostile, on the contrary, we will give you great benefits, such as food. Yunfei took over and said.

"Really?" asked the brute at the mention of food. Food is too important for barbarians, and it is the foundation of the barbarians' bloodline.

"True" then you ask, we must know everything, and we must know everything. ”

"How many people do you barbarians have?"

"I don't know about this, this. ”

"And how many people does your tribe have?"

"Probably less than 100,000. ”

"How's the strength?"

"My lord, we are the lowest barbarians in the tribe, how can we know such secrets?" Yun Fei's question made the barbarian twin brothers miserable, and they couldn't answer at all.

"How many innate strong people are there, you should know a little about this, right?" Yun Fei wanted to ask how many strong barbarians there were, in case the conversation collapsed, he could know himself and his opponent, and he would not be defeated in a hundred battles.

"I only know that the elder is an innate powerhouse, and the others really don't know. The barbarian said helplessly, for fear that his answer would not satisfy the strong man in front of him, and thus invite death.

"Well, you're very cooperative, and we're going to give you a good reward. Yun Fei said, and took out ten bags of grain from the space ring, about three thousand catties, enough for the barbarian brothers' family for a month. These grains are just a drop in the bucket in Yunfei's space ring. In order to persuade the barbarians to enter the Five Cities, Yun Fei specially asked for hundreds of thousands of catties of grain from Xiju in case of emergency.

"This food is just your reward this time, if you are willing to work in human society, there will be more food waiting for you. Yun Fei hinted.

Looking at the ten bags of grain in front of him, the barbarian brothers cried with joy and hurriedly kowtowed to thank them. When they finished kowtowing and stood up, they found that the innate powerhouse standing in front of them just now had disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Long, why do you want to give those two barbarians food?" asked Xiao Huo puzzled.

"Yes, these grains are of great use, didn't the two of them just answer a few questions from us, why give them food?" Ling Hu Yanyang also asked suspiciously.

Yun Fei listened to Xiaohuo and Ling Hu Yanyang's suspicions, and said with a smile: "We discussed with the barbarians about opening the Five Cities, this is not only a matter for the high-level barbarians, but also for the low-level barbarians. When the two brothers got food, they believed that they would support the move into the city, and when the time came, they would spread it to ten, ten, and hundred, even if it was for food, and they would approve of it. ”

"My husband is so smart, I even thought of it. Jin Zilan chuckled and praised.

With this move, the success rate of this matter will be greatly improved. Iron Spine also gave a thumbs up.

"You see, those two brothers really didn't lie to us, and there is a barbarian tribe ahead. Yun Fei looked at the countless stone houses in front of him and said in surprise.

The stone houses here are taller and stronger, and the number is too numerous to count. These stone houses, all built on an open field, are scattered, row upon row, and are magnificent.

"To show our sincerity, let's walk in. After Yun Fei finished speaking, he fell from mid-air and strode towards the center of the stone house. "Stop!" Yun Fei had barely taken a few steps when they were stopped by a loud voice like thunder.
