When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 333 Confrontation

Shi Wu and the others were planning a search on the mountain road behind them, but Atan in front had already sent someone to invite a fight.

"You still have to go to war."

Shu Yan said to Shi Wu: "If we don't go, the other party may suspect what we are doing. They know the roads in the mountains better than we do, and we can't guarantee that they don't know what is in the mountains."

"In this matter, let the elders of the Lingzhi clan come to play the home game, and we will be the raiding array." Shi Wu thought for a while, "Delay time, there is no need to fight hard. If the other party asks you why you don't rush to save people, you Just say that I have Xin’s wishes, saying that the future is unclear, and we will wait for news from the right wing.”

"Understood." Several elders nodded.

"The right wing..."

But there were also many people looking at each other, and there was probably no one on the right.

No matter how fast Xin Qu was, he couldn't really dispatch his troops and rush into the mountains.

Not to mention, until now, Xinqu has not made any moves or thoughts.

"Then go."

Shi Wu gave an order, and many elders of the Lingzhi clan led their respective tribes to control the main traffic road ahead, and then shouted among the mountains, followed by Atan and the others of the Wu Zhong clan to start a fight.

Taking a closer look at the battlefield, it was scattered and crowded. There were only three or five young people holding weapons to attack each other, while the rest were occupying high positions and shouting and encouraging.

"This is the fighting method of the people in the mountains. So, it seems that even in the mountains you don't have to fight to the death." Shu Yan suddenly realized, no wonder he felt strange every time he saw the war situation.

Why is it that every time they have a big move from Xin's, others say they are a waste.

Now it is clear that the Xin family has mobilized too many manpower, and the input and attack are not directly proportional. To a large extent, they are crushing them with manpower.

Therefore, in order to solve the disproportionate consumption of the attack, the method advocated by Xin Qu was to massacre people and destroy the stronghold, causing maximum damage as quickly as possible, forcing the opponent to surrender, and then killing more slaves and prisoners of war without sacrificing them. The slaves were turned into serfs by Xin warriors.

Then through the servants joining the army, both the master and the serfs benefited, and the snowball continued to grow.

But the tribal era, especially the blood tribe era in the mountains, would not do this.

Because after defeating the opponent, the opponent can also run. Since he can run, unless it is really a moment of life and death, he will never fight head-on.

Therefore, the war in the mountains, unless the water source is snatched, is a touch and go. After a few rounds, the two sides stop fighting.

Seeing the elders coming back, all of them looked unhappy, which showed that they had lost this game.

But only three people died in the battle, five people were captured, and the other party also captured five people. After the exchange between the two sides, it was equal to three people of the elders died.

No wonder he is so unhappy.

"Do you want to continue fighting?" Shi Wu asked Shu Yan.

"No, since the battle is blocked, let's stop fighting. We are not the ones who are really anxious. We have the food supplied by Huairou City and can hold on for a while. When the construction here is completed, let the Lingzhi family stay here. In the future, this place can become Check out the stronghold in the mountains."

Shu Yan looked at the slips and said: "The patriarch once said that the Yanshan Mountains are comparable to Taihang for the Xin family. If we have no chance to leave Shannan in the future, then we must completely control the north of Yanshan and western Liaoning. Prepare.

Because this is related to traffic safety and food production in our south.

Therefore, for the mountains, rivers and valleys of Yanshan, we can arrange the nodes one by one to build a fort, place several Chinese people’s household registrations, and form an integrated farming and animal husbandry strategy. "

"It seems that you have learned a lot during this time." Shi Wu was a little surprised.

"Hey, this is all superficial. It's rare for a clan leader to have free time, so it's appropriate to summon us military staff members for training."

The speed of Shu Yan's speech and various words were completely in Xin Qu's style, which showed that the education they received was largely from Xin Qu's teachings, and the effect seemed pretty good.

Of course, with Xinqu's teachings, Shu Yan and the others knew very well why Xinqu was said to be a person blessed by the "Emperor". Anyone could summarize these remarks, but who could teach them easily?

This is a test of one's level.

And Xinqu did it.

Therefore, after being taught, they believed that Xin Qu was the one who could lead the Xin family to a bright future.

Many people are imitating Xin Qu's approach.Because for them, Xin Qu's method is the optimal solution at this stage.

Even the merchants of Dayi in the south are not more useful than the fusion of various clans with the Xin clan now.

All in all, war only serves politics. The reason why Xinqu helped Lingzhi was because he needed Lingzhi to help him internally fight against the Shanrong tribes.

In order to prevent the Shanrong tribes from suddenly becoming bigger.

Otherwise, with the current size of the Xin clan, he could directly annex the Lingzhi clan and replace them.

"Thank you for your hard work. We need to fight a few more games in the next few days. If we don't hurry up, they will become more and more anxious." Shu Yan came to these elders, presented some delicate meat, and then said to them with a smile, "This is Xin's honey-glazed deer meat jerky. It is made from carefully selected full-term deer. Only the best meat from the belly and chest is taken. It is made at full term and is made through 81 processes. You can try it."

Shi Wu stood and watched as Chu Yan was trying to get along with the elders. Even the dogs wouldn't eat the honey-glazed deer meat. It was prone to maggots and would cause stomach upsets.

But for mountain people who don’t have much taste, the sweetness of honey, the pungency of dogwood, the sizzling salty taste and the satisfying feeling after eating the meat are absolutely delicious.

Several elders ate it, and when they went to fight the next day, they invited Chu Yan to accompany them. Then they asked the price of the dried deer meat, and they also wanted to buy it.

"That's really not cheap." Shu Yan said with a smile, "One pound requires three slaves, and you have to wait in line. Usually we can only get the production method if we have Sir Xin. Of course, even if there is a production method It’s no use, the best quality ones can only be made from young deer. The clan has recently been trying to think of ways to raise deer, but deer are not easy to raise. They need mountains and forests to raise them.”

"Can we still raise deer?" The elders looked at Shu Yan in shock.

"Of course, we have the Xin clan who has already tamed a batch of...cough cough cough. Hahaha, that, say less, say less."

Shu Yan stopped quickly and could not continue talking.

But the speaker has a heart, and the listener has an even more heart.

With Xin's meat, just the piece of meat from the deer's chest can be sold for the price of three slaves. If you raise more, doesn't that mean -

"By the way, how come you have so many of these?"

"Oh, the Youxin clan members who hold the title of knight need to offer this kind of preserved meat as a sacrifice every time their ancestors celebrate their birthdays or death. Whoever has money and ability can offer more, so that they can show their I’m living a good life.”

Shu Yan said with a smile.

"Every knight has to have one?"

"Of course, you have to have it from the beginning, Corporal." Shu Yan curled his lips. Of course, it could also be a roast chicken or roast duck, but he didn't say it because his idea was to give these people of the Lingzhi clan some benefits and let them Knowing that the mountains are actually not all bad, they tricked them into going into the mountains to raise deer.

When the time comes, you can handle them however you want.

After all, there are a lot of deer in the mountains, and they will face shortages of wolves and grains, so they can negotiate prices at that time.

After a group of people chatted, and then a round of fighting started, after returning, Shi Wu looked at the information sent from the rear, then glanced at the group of elated elders, handed the slip to Shi Yan, and asked: "Didn't they lose again today? Are they still so happy?"

Shu Yan talked about the preparations for the past few days with a smile, and Shi Wu raised his eyebrows: "In other words, you plan to trick them into entering the mountain?"

"Having a foundation is better than anything else. The clan elders have long wanted the red stone mountain in Miyun." Shu Yan came up and said, "It might be an iron mountain."

"You mean..." Shi Wu knows iron, and Xin Qu's two knives are iron!That's a really scary thing.

"Well, so we need to take precautions for them in advance so that they can go into the mountains willingly. By tricking them into raising deer, the meat will grow slowly, so that they can rely on the food we provide to feed them." Shu Yan finished.

Shi Wu's eyes flashed, and then he nodded: "It's your arrangement."

"Well, now that we have found the road, let's make arrangements. I will take the people away, and you stay here to control the battle situation and delay the confrontation. The longer it takes, the better it is for us."

Shi Wu sent Shu Yan away, and then he was silent for a moment before sighing. He didn't know whether Xin Qu did the right thing. If most of the military staff were like Shu Yan, then the Xin family's atmosphere would be completely reversed. .

"That's all, I am a military commander after all. The mission of a military commander is to fight at the minimum cost... Well, haha, isn't it the same for me?"

Shi Wu shook his head slightly. He could also feel that he was about to be assimilated by Xin Qu.

Fighting, do whatever it takes to reduce casualties, whether it is for yourself or for the Xin family.
