Chapter 11 It's better to be a wolf than a dog

"That's how it is!"

Shu Prisoner Mi felt a little strange, and said in his heart, is there anything to doubt this?

Two people's understanding of the world is similar.

But the process of understanding is different.

The education that Shu Prisoner Mi has received since he was a child is like this, the world is like this, and the truth is like this, so he feels that this is the truth.

Solushen walked half the world, walked tens of thousands of miles, and saw with his own eyes that the world is like this, and the truth should be like this, so he finally understood why the giant's words came out.

It's like the geometry that the captives have never learned. A person who spent a day learning the truth of hooking three strands and four strands, but a person who spent nearly half a lifetime pondering this truth after thinking about it for a long time, the truth itself has not changed, but the process of understanding is very different.

Hearing what should have been such an evaluation from the captive of Shu Qi, Suo Lushen smiled and shook his head: "You guys are lucky, so you take all this for granted. But in this world, some people are born with the feeling that there is a difference between high and low, and then feel that this is a matter of course......"

Still puzzled, Shu Prisoner Qi asked, "Actually, this truth only needs to be seen in the Zhuxia Kingdoms. ”

Solushen asked rhetorically, "Is Zhuxia the world?" If the will of heaven is applicable to the whole world, then do you say that thousands of miles away is not the world? If there, the will of heaven does not apply, can it be said that the will of heaven is applicable to the whole world? ”

If the captive has realized, he seems to understand the key to this.

Xu is Suo Lu Shen has not communicated these thoughts with people other than those familiar faces for a long time, so he has a lot of words, and said with a smile: "You are still young. Luckily, I learned the right thing from an early age. You are an inker, but it takes a process to become a real inker. ”

"From thinking that it should be so, to one day finally understanding why it is the right thing to do."

Shu Prisoner Mi recalled this sentence in his mouth, and felt that there seemed to be a difference, but there seemed to be no difference, so he remembered it firmly.

Suo Lu Shen patted the captive on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then walked to the leader of the team, and had already said hello, so Su Lu Shen did not say any more pleasantries.

"I just came here and I'm not familiar with it. It's your business to bring us people back. I will only say that of the more than 500 people I brought back, more than 300 have become my Mohist comrades. More than 300 people were able to use firearms, and the rest, except for women and children, were also able to use spears. ”

"It has long been organized, each has its own branch, and the arrangement is."

After ten years, the rules of the Mo family have become more perfect, but the foundation has not changed.

The 500 people he brought back respected him, but they naturally obeyed the decision of the "organization", especially in this kind of matter.

The committee, which was originally commanded by nine people, specially added Solushen and another old ink man who had returned from the west, and eleven people discussed it in the car formation.

What seems to be half the battle is now just the beginning. If the Hu people were really so honest, then there would be no need to send so many people at all, and a large army would have to be raised to respond later.

Since Solushen was already a member of the commanding committee, he said: "There were nearly 300 of you, and all of you who returned from the westward journey were all dead and alive, and there was plenty of gunpowder and food, so if they really regretted it, we should not be afraid." ”

"But if you are attacked by the Hu people during the march, you are prone to danger. We can't hope for the Hu people to keep their word, I have lived with them for a while, and they are far from being as rustic as they seem. ”

Another asked, "You mean, we can't leave yet?" ”

Solushen snorted, and said: "If we go now, the team will march, once the Hu people repent, we will not have time to defend, and it will be easy to be scattered." ”

"Or, send someone to negotiate now, let the Hu people retreat, and after we confirm that they can't raid, send scouts to investigate the surroundings and we will leave."

"Or, just wait here. These Hu people have what they want, and if they really don't have any ideas about us, they will naturally leave. If you have any thoughts about us, you won't leave. ”

"Is there enough food?"

One person said: "It is enough for more than 800 people to eat for more than ten days." There are also iron tools, which can dig wells. ”

Solu said: "That's it. For more than ten days, it was enough for Takayanagi's army to come. Be careful, I don't want to walk tens of thousands of miles back, only to be captured by the Hu people three hundred miles away from Middle-earth. ”

The rest of the people discussed for a while, and the prisoner Mi said first: "I think Suo Lushen's words make sense. As long as we defend to the death, if we have a favorable location, there are more than 800 people, and even if the Hu people are 5,000, it will be difficult to break through. But if once they march, the Hu people rode back and forth like the wind, and once they were not well prepared, they would be in danger. ”

The rest of the people thought about it for a while, and they all felt reasonable. The Hu people will not be idle to play here, if they really want to trade, and the things have already arrived, there is no need to stay here. It's like having a piece of gold, and others may not have the heart to fight, but if you let a weak child walk in the market, it is easy to encourage the generation of some evil intentions - at this time, giving up the car and setting off is like becoming a weak child.

After all, Suo Lushen was a man who had seen the vastness of the world, and his consideration of the problem was far more far-reaching than that of these young people, and after discussion, he decided to let the prisoner and mare's milk take a few people to negotiate with the Hu people, and let them retreat thirty miles.

Ma Milk is proficient in Hu language, and Shu Prisoner is one of the previous nine members, he must stand up and bring people over this kind of thing, once Hu Ren has other thoughts, this is nine deaths.

Seven people were chosen, all of them were armoured, and the prisoner took out the iron thunder from the box on the car, put it on his body, and took the fire rope and hid it.

The mare's milk also draped these things on, and the prisoner said, "If they have different intentions, they must fight to the death." I don't want to die yet, I just live towards death, and the more I fear death, the easier it is to die. If they really play tricks, they will be splattered with blood in five steps and persecuted them! ”

Mare's milk nodded, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

…………

In the tent of the Hu headman, the leaders and priests of seven or eight tribes gathered together, looking at the iron pot tea leaves and silk cotton cloth piled up, and smiled from ear to ear.

If these things were exchanged for horses, it would be a lot of money, and some distant tribes had no chance to exchange them.

Sometimes a tribal merger and a grab of an iron pot is considered the best trophy...... They have nothing, even the arrowheads are still bones, and there are few bronzes, this is not the Xiongnu who had agricultural areas in later generations, but the Lin Hu who are far from being unified.

Looking at the belongings, the clan leaders glanced at each other and discussed what had been discussed a few days earlier.

When the news came from Takayanagi that they could be exchanged, they were discussing the matter: if these people could exchange so many pots and cotton cloth for several tents, why couldn't they exchange them for more? Moreover, those who came to exchange had weapons, clothes, chariots, and horses, all of which were a fortune.

During the exchange, the southerners were cautious, hiding on the top of the hill to form a chariot, and said that if they broke the contract, they would smash the goods of the trade, so that they would get nothing.

The three tribes north of Takayanagi have been saying that once these people form a formation, it will be difficult to break through, and they are not prepared to be defaulters at all. A fair deal is fine, but it's impossible for them to provoke Takayanagi's people, especially if they're on guard.

However, the other five tribes had never fought with Takayanagi's people at all, and after laughing at the timidity of these three tribes, they had a different mind.

Even if what these three tribes said is true, then it is more powerful when they form a formation, and once they disperse, what is the difficulty of raiding on horseback? A few tribes, tens of thousands of people are strong, are they afraid that there are only a few hundred people?

If you can capture them, you can continue to ask Takayanagi for more things, since they changed it once, why can't they change it a second time?

Holding on to the top of the mountain, it is difficult to attack, and if it is sneak attack in the middle of the march, it is not like a wolf rushing into a flock?

What they were discussing was to take advantage of the fact that while these people were leaving, they suddenly broke their promises and surrounded them.

The leader of the tribe who first came into contact with Solushen said: "Even if those southerners don't change, we rob the weapons, leather armor, horses, and vehicles, migrate to other places, and several tribes form an alliance, won't there be a shortage of pasture?" ”

"Now one tribe can divide so many ......"

He gestured and said, "If they are still willing to change, we can share more." Besides, I look at them very strangely, they are very concerned about some things that seem to be sheepskins, and we promised to change people, but we didn't say that even those thin sheepskin-like things will be replaced, so we should ask for more. ”

The tribal leader who had been grazing cattle near the South China Sea and had been in contact with the Takayanagi garrison early on looked at his "allies" and thought, "Elsewhere?" We can take the iron pot here to other tribes to change horses, and we can exchange more things in Takayanagi. Let's go to the north and suffer? That's not going to work. This iron pot is a trade, we can ask for it, if we really rob it, my tribe will not be able to go with you. You don't know the terrible ...... of those people in Takayanagi."

But he didn't say this, just shook his head and said, "This is something that the gods and ancestors don't like." We should not break our oaths. ”

What you think in your heart, but what you say in your mouth, is often not the same thing, but the purpose is the same.

The tribal leader who gave the opinion scoffed: "You are a flock of sheep, we are wolves. Sheep shouldn't be with wolves......"

The leader who was ridiculed smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "Should we be together, we must first give us the iron pot that we have promised to give our tribe, and then separate." Wolf...... Is there anything powerful about wolves? How many wolves were killed by those men's muskets? If you are willing to be a wolf, you will do it. ”

"My tribe is here and honestly obeys Takayanagi's rules. If you are close, you can change the pot for tea, and then go to other tribes to change more horses. Who wants to go to those bitter cold places like you? Robbed them, Takayanagi's people came to retaliate, is there any other way but to escape? Shall they hang on the trees at the head of the city? ”

"What's so good about being a wolf? If it weren't for Takayanagi's side not wanting us to be dogs, my tribe would have been dogs a long time ago. ”
