The Ryker tribe and Lahok were at a standoff in the mountains, and the remnants of the Lü clan finally returned to the Chicken Coop Harbor after a lapse of more than a month.

Compared with the pride when he went out before, Lu Yu, who finally came back alive this time, and his more than 300 remnants are a lot of feelings.

One hundred of them were sent by Lu Yu to join the Bengang team, and finally came back with the Bengang team to rescue Lu Yu, so they were lucky to escape the tragedy of being surrounded and suppressed, but the remaining more than 200 people were survivors of this battle, and dozens of them were seriously injured by their companions after the war.

A few families were happy and a few were sad, two thousand people went out, and only 1/7 came back, and a snow-white color rose in the homes of the people in Hong Kong, and the cries of women, girls and children were endless, which made Li Tianyang and them all upset.

"I'm sorry, hall master, I have no way to lead the team this time, led everyone into a trap, and failed to live up to your expectations of me, I am willing to be punished." I haven't seen it for more than a month, and Lu Yu's whole person has aged a lot, and standing in front of Li Tianyang, the whole person exudes a strong atmosphere of decadence.

"I also know the ins and outs of this matter, although you also have mistakes and omissions, but to be honest, without understanding the surrounding situation, I sent you out, if you are responsible, we are all responsible!" Li Tianyang comforted Lu Yu and said: "However, you fought bravely and were able to hold out for more than half a month despite the lack of food and supplies and heavy casualties, which is worthy of our praise!" ”

"But there aren't many of the players who went with us to survive!" Although Lu Lu was grateful to Li Tianyang for his tolerance and comfort, when he thought about the group of subordinates who sacrificed, he always felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

"Life and death are fate, and we don't want everyone to sacrifice like this, but who makes our opponent so strong and so forbearing." Li Tianyang also sighed, if he didn't feel sorry for the sacrifice of his subordinates, it would be false.

Nowadays, the recruitment of the Hongtang team needs to be recruited from the inland outcasts and pirates of the daimyo, and the people of Hong Kong will not go to this fire pit at all, and it is difficult to recruit, and each batch of recruits needs at least half a year of training before they can join, and there are not a few of them who have poured their efforts.

Moreover, every time a group of team members is sacrificed, the pressure on the team's logistics department is even greater, because Hongtang's bereavement is not only for their team members, but also for their relatives and children. So far, there are more than 5,000 team members who have sacrificed in Hong Tang, and in addition to those who have no relatives and no reason, there are at least 3,000 team members who have family members, which is also a big burden for the team!

In order to accommodate the families of so many sacrificed soldiers and provide them with the ability to take care of their families and children, the team has set up a lot of work for these military families, but even if they arrange a lot of logistics work and the work of the Qixintang workshop in the two places, they will soon not be able to accommodate so many military families.

Therefore, when Li Tianyang said this, it was completely sincere, and there was no adulteration at all.

"But Hall Master, why don't we let our warriors directly destroy this group of rabbit spirits and avenge our warriors, and instead let Captain Wu and them show favor to each other?" It seems that Lu Kui still didn't think about this matter, and at this time, he finally couldn't hold back and asked about Li Tianyang.

"Hey, you shouldn't ask!" Li Tianyang sighed, looking at Lu Yu with a little disappointment in his eyes.

I thought that Lu Kui chose to take refuge in Li Tianyang because of his unique vision and extraordinary knowledge, and he has been honing in the middle and high-level over the years, working hard and complaining, and he is not greedy for merit, he is a material that can be made, but now it seems that he is just a person with a slightly narrow-minded vision.

Of course, morality is a good thing, but it is a taboo as a commander to ignore the interests of the team and not put one's position right.

Li Tianyang retracted his gaze at Lu Yu, and said with a deep thought: "Commander Lu, you are now also a high-level officer with thousands of troops, have you ever thought about how much trouble it will bring to our team if we really go to war with this indigenous tribe?" ”

"Just according to what the warriors you sent back earlier, I can understand the strength of this tribe, I can throw two thousand baits in one breath to lure you into the urn, and then besiege you with several times the advantage of troops, dialect In the battles over the years, we have never encountered such a strong team." Li Tianyang looked up at the sky, although his face was calm, but his eyes were a little more solemn, but he seemed to be a little excited: "Among our opponents, the most powerful is the Dutch fleet in the Netherlands, but they are better than the strength of the ship, not the number of people, if they can have a team of this size, I am afraid that the year before last there would have been no Hongtang and Bengang and Jilong Harbor bases!" ”

"Think about it, if we start a war with the other party at this time, where will the troops we rely on come from, the elite of the Whale Division will help the Ryukyu Kingdom resist the invasion from Satsuma before the Ryukyu Naval Division is perfected, and the rest will be taken away by you, leaving only 500 people to guard Huludao, what have you done!"

"In the end, it is not only possible to rely on the Shark Wu Shu and the Bengang indigenous team, but if you start a war with this tribe, tell me from the perspective of your many years of fighting on the battlefield, how much blood of soldiers will our troops have to pay to win this war?"

After Li Tianyang said this, he looked straight at Lu Lu with his eyes to see how he answered this question.

"......" was as silent as death, because of the death of his soldiers these days, Lu Lu was full of only thinking about avenging his brothers, and he was missing a string in his mind, so he basically didn't think about the problem so pertinently.

Dong Haoran, as the director of the staff department under his command, had analyzed these problems with Lu Yu, but when he was angry, and Lu Yu, who was frustrated and guilty, could not listen to it, until he was preached by Li Tianyang at this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses, pondered carefully, and finally was speechless and silent.

"A thousand? Two thousand? Or do you want 3,000 soldiers? Seeing that Lu Lu was speechless, Li Tianyang's words intensified, and he asked a few rhetorical questions, which made Lu Lu dare not speak: "This battle is over, even if you win this tribe, can you guarantee that you can completely annihilate the other party?" With so many fighters lost, what area do you want me to take to protect our base camp Bengang? ”

"That's all I have to say, I don't want to say anything else, you can go down and understand it yourself! When you figured it out, when will you write me a report focusing on the gains and losses of the war with the natives! Li Tianyang's tone finally eased up, and he waved his hand to send the silent Lu Kui away, letting him figure it out for himself.
