503 - Stop fighting with war
Ah Ju's words can't be said to be unreasonable.
In fact, after the loss of Babu, Ah Ju's impulsive and belligerent personality in the past has changed a lot.
This was seen by the thief when he was fighting against the White Fox Alliance last time.
At that time, Ah Ju, although he was still indomitable in the battle, but before and after the battle, he always showed a hesitant and unbearable look.
In the past, Ji Thief didn't care about this problem, but now that Ah Ju talked about it again, Ji Thief felt the need to make it clear to him.
Ji Thief himself is not a belligerent person, and he corrects Ah Ju, not to change Ah Ju's mind and turn him into a warmonger like Tushan.
It's okay to love peace, but blindly avoiding war is not the right way after all.
You can hide from war, but war won't hide from you.
Ending war is also a way to pursue peace.
So, I saw Ji Thief nodding: "That's right, but Ah Ju, one thing you have to remember is that we don't advocate war." But if war comes, we won't choose to hide from it. The Bone Wasteland invades our territory, and if we avoid war, it will only make them think that we are weak and can be bullied! Peace is not something that can be won by lip service, peace is something we have won back through our own efforts. In the past, a large area of the mountains wanted peace, but did Montenegro give it a chance? Didn't we still defeat them and get the hard-won peace? I hope you can figure this out. ”
Ji Thief's words made Ah Ju lower his head, and it took him a long time before he raised his head: "I, I understand the patriarch." ”
Ji Thief nodded: "In this battle against the White Bone Wasteland, in addition to the hussar department that has not yet been formed, the four departments of the army, military fighting, and military hunting are all dispatched to expel the enemy. ”
Everyone clasped their fists in unison: "Yes, Patriarch!"
Ah Liang thought for a while: "Patriarch, I think it's too cheap for us to expel them, it's better to defeat them and subdue them, and strengthen ourselves, how can these more than a thousand people make us stronger." ”
Ji Thief shook his head: "No, now, if they are subdued, it will inevitably cause an extremely serious burden to our tribe, so we only need to expel them simply, and now is not the time to subdue them." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Ji Thief then continued: "Originally, I wanted to wait until next year's wheat harvest and the tribe had enough food, and then set out to collect these earthen buns from the Bone Wasteland. Hehe, I didn't expect that they were sent to the door first to ask for education. In that case, then I'm not welcome. Listen to me!"
The six people in the room, except for the thief, all stood up: "Patriarch!"
"Ah Liang, Tushan, Hunt, Ah Hu. ”
"Patriarch. ”
"You are leading the three departments of military fighting, military royal, and hunting, and marching north with me, converging with the military department of the Copper Mine Valley, and facing the White Bone Wasteland. Ugly, you go ahead of others to inform the military department. Ah Ju, you go to the south of the plains, bring the elites left behind by the Lin Patriarch, and join us to expel the Bone Wasteland. ”
"Yes!"
Ji Thief turned around and looked for it, and then took out the double knives that had been sharpened in the past two days and handed them to Hunt, saying, "This battle depends on your performance." ”
Hunting happily took the double knife that had been made into a scabbard by the thief, put it on his back and smiled: "Don't worry, patriarch, I promise not to disappoint you!"
The thief nodded, stood up and led the people in charge outside, but when he opened the door, he saw that Snow, the witch, and Usma were all standing outside.
At that moment, Ji Thief couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you doing here?"
Usma changed her usual hippie smile and asked with a serious face, "Patriarch, is it time to start a war?"
Ji Thief looked at him suspiciously: "You eavesdropped just now?"
Usma hurriedly waved his hand: "No, patriarch, we guessed it. ”
Ji Thief sighed, just briefly explained the situation, he didn't say that there were thousands of enemies, although in Ji Thief's opinion, the enemy of these thousands of numbers was a little big, but others didn't necessarily think so.
"The enemy is about three hundred, and it is difficult for the military department to deal with it, so I have to bring people to support. Ji Thief said.
Oga stepped forward and said, "Patriarch, the hussars are ready for battle at any time. ”
Ji Thief shook his head: "There can't be no one in the tribe to guard. ”
As he spoke, the thief looked at everyone: "After I leave, all the affairs of the tribe will be decided by the snow, and Hazel, Usma, Azai, and Oga will be the auxiliaries. Ox Achi, your security and resources department must help Oga protect the tribe. ”
Everyone nodded when they heard the words and agreed vigorously.
Then, the thief turned around and ordered the army to fight the army and the personnel of the hunting department to assemble.
Carrying the iron spear, the thief stepped on the blade-toothed tiger, slapped its neck, and said softly: "Sisters, it's up to you." ”
There had been no war for a long time, and the fat and strong blade-toothed tiger that had been raised for two months roared with some excitement.
Just as he was about to leave, Usma suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Patriarch, wait first. ”
Ji Thief turned his head to look at him suspiciously...
The eastern plains, at the junction of the mountains and the Bone Wastes, are located in the Copper Mine Valley.
On the cross bridge, Ah Cai grabbed a wooden spear and stood on it, and inside the valley, forty members of the military department were busy.
A few days ago, when he heard the news of an enemy invasion, Ah Cai immediately sent the news back to the tribe and gave the order to prepare for battle.
Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many enemies, with Ah Cai's violent temper, he would have led someone to do it first.
It's just that although he is as impulsive as Ah Liang, he is not a fool.
On the contrary, in many cases, Ah Cai will think things through before he does it.
To put it nicely, it is mature and steady.
To put it too far, he will not fight a battle that he is sure of winning.
Ogar was an accident that time, after all, his companion who got along day and night was injured first, and Oga and they were not many in number, so Ah Cai misestimated Oga's combat effectiveness and made a mistake for a while.
But this does not hide his merits, otherwise, he would not have recommended Ah Ju to temporarily lead the military department, and the thief would agree without thinking about it.
The clansman in charge of finding out the news was called, and Ah Cai asked him about the situation of the enemy.
This habit is still advocated and promoted by Ji Thief.
In the past, there were basically two kinds of battles between the two sides, one was to make an appointment on where to fight, and you could bring as many people as you could.
The second is that the two sides happen to meet and start an encounter.
Until now, a large area of the mountain range, except for the Lihuo tribe, the other eleven tribes have upheld such good habits.
But the thieves are different, basically, each combat department is equipped with about five shrewd people, who usually participate in training with everyone, but as soon as the battle begins, they become everyone's eyes and pass back the news to the military commander, so that the person in charge can more easily judge the gap between the two sides and the current form of the war.
Ji Thief calls this a more formalized division.
Although everyone doesn't understand what it means, this approach of Ji Thief still avoids the possibility of everyone suffering losses because of impulsiveness.
"Where is the enemy moving now?" asked Ah Cai.
A clansman in charge of inquiring about the news thought for a moment and said, "In the past two days, they have been generally active under the mountains, and every day they seem to be looking for something other than food. ”
Ah Cai was a little stunned when he heard this: "Apart from food, what are they looking for?"
The man nodded: "Yes, in the beginning, they would still have infighting over food, but these days, these people seem to be much quieter, and they will not fight because of food." ”
Ah Cai lowered his head, and suddenly remembered that the direct patriarch said that when he went to look for Lord Xue, he encountered a group of primitives from the White Bone Wasteland to the north of the mountain range.
Enemies, could it be them?
"What else is there that isn't?"
The clansman shook his head, and just wanted to speak, but outside the valley, a clansman hurriedly ran over, and shouted at the bridge in a panic: "No, it's not good, Lord Acai, the enemy, the enemy is coming towards us!"
