Chen Jian hid in the distance and watched all this coldly, he was not sympathetic to these Xirong people, but he was used to seeing this kind of coldness and was numb, because he had killed a lot of people, but he would never kill like this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info are all killed, and then divide the high and low from the same clan in order to exploit them, it's too stupid.

In this era, whoever wins and loses will be reduced to slavery or killed. In the previous life, too, those who were able to persist in the protection of their own race and culture from extinction in thousands of years of conquest could never be innocent people who were harmless to humans and animals.

It can be seen that not all of these relatives surnamed Wei are killed, and making this gesture is a kind of deterrent. Slaughtering one side is something that can only be done when the population of one's side is sufficient, and the upper class can maintain the pyramid by exploiting the lower classes.

When the population is insufficient, all the rebellious slaves are killed, who will do the work? If there is less work and less exploitation, the class contradictions between slaves and aliens who are usually exploited will appear and expand, and there must always be someone at the bottom.

The three days of killing and intimidation took a heavy toll on the rebellious villages, seemingly stable but surging.

In three days, Chen Jian led Xia Cheng's army to capture nearly 1,000 slaves from the village, and although those relatives surnamed Wei were in pain, they were helpless. Now that Xia Cheng's soldiers are strong and strong, and he has helped the Acropolis a lot, he thinks that he is not Xia Cheng's opponent, so he can only accept it.

Three days later, the coalition forces of Esha gathered at the agreed place, and some of them were sent back to escort the slaves back, while the rest marched towards the Acropolis.

"With this great victory, the people of Xijon near the Acropolis should have fled. I wonder if the people of the Acropolis seized the opportunity to go out of the city and attack those Sijon people and capture slaves? ”

Chen Jian asked E Yue in the car, and E Yue didn't know that when the wolf skin led people to attack the Xirong people that day, he had already sent riders to rush to the Acropolis, and it was unknown whether he entered the city or not.

A total of six messengers were dispatched, and only two ran into the acropolis. Although the Sijon people did not have horses, because they were unfamiliar with the route, the Sijon people took advantage of the terrain to capture three horses and kill four people.

The two messengers who had run to the Acropolis easily entered the city, because they were on horseback, and because they wore their hair tied and their sackcloth garments.

There are only two people, but the Acropolis sees hope, and the two cities of Xia E have really sent troops.

When the rider reported the news, before the battle began, Wei He dragged his wounded body to meet them, and loudly told everyone that the two cities of Xia and E would soon be able to drive the Xirong people away, but did not ask how many people had come from the two cities of Xia and E.

When the Acropolis began to cheer, the two messengers were invited into the room by Weihe, leaving only the most trusted relatives in the room.

"How many people did the two leaders of Ji Xia and E Yue bring?"

"One thousand eight."

The messenger reported a number very plainly, and the hearts of Wei He's relatives trembled suddenly, and the original hope was now disappointed.

One Thousand Eight ...... The Sijon people were four or five times as many as they were.

Wei He was also slightly disappointed in his heart, but he was still constantly grateful, and sighed: "Okay, let the two leaders retreat into the Acropolis, let's defend the city, have enough food, and wait until the Xirong people are tired before attacking." ”

The envoy paused for a moment and said, "Retreat into the Acropolis?" Ji Xia didn't say that he was going to retreat into the Acropolis, he asked me to tell the leader of Weihe that he would lead people to fight the Xijon people in the wilderness. Let the leader of the Weihe prepare soldiers, and once he finds that the Xijon people are retreating, he will immediately pursue them and capture the slaves. Ji Xia said that he was not familiar with the terrain here, and if the Xijon people fled and retreated, the Acropolis had better pursue, so that it would be difficult for the scattered Xijon people to gather, and this Xijon settlement could not pose a threat to the Acropolis for several years. ”

"Decisive battle in the wilderness?"

The people next to him gasped and shook their heads. They had fought with the Xijon people for many years, and these Xijon people became more and more difficult to deal with day by day since they learned to grow corn, and they also learned methods such as ambushing and luring the enemy, and the last time the valley was ambushed was a great lesson.

Besides, 1,800 people, which seems to be a lot, but there are even more Xijon people. Could it be that the soldiers of Xia City and E City can defeat three with one?

They didn't know what the soldiers of Xia Cheng were, at most they had heard about the last battle of Yangguan, but most of the Acropolis thought it was a coincidental victory, maybe the grassland tribes they hadn't seen were too stupid to fight.

As for the soldiers of Echeng, although they have not made friends for more than ten years, among the relatives on both sides of the river, Echeng is not famous for being brave and good at fighting, they are famous because of black pottery and silk, otherwise they would not have moved away but would have chosen to compete for the position of the leader of the alliance.

Wei He felt that Chen Jian might be too young, and was carried away by the first two victories, he pondered for a while and asked, "You two may go back and tell Ji Xia that don't despise these Xirong people, it's best to withdraw to the Acropolis, and the three cities will rely on the city to wait for the opportunity." ”

The envoy shook his head and said, "Ji Xia didn't let me go back, he only asked me to rush into the Acropolis and tell the leader of Weihe these words. Besides, Ji Xia said that if you can win, you can win. You don't know yet, do you? When we set out on the expedition, the ancestors actually asked the ants to tell us about this great victory. On the day of the expedition, he had to cross the Grass River, and Ji Xia said that he would make the moat a thoroughfare within three days, and the result really changed. Is the leader of Weihe afraid that Ji Xia will not be able to defeat those Xirong people? Don't be afraid, I'm sure I'll win, but it's a pity that I can't hunt down those Xijon people, and I have lost a lot of merits......"

He didn't think about the possibility of failure at all, but was worried about his own merits, and even felt a little irritable in his heart.

Wei He shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of leader has what kind of clansmen, the people of Xiacheng have always been above the top, whether it is those merchants who have come and gone or the messengers who have been in contact with them a few times, they all respect their leaders like gods, if someone inadvertently expresses distrust, these Xiacheng people will be very dissatisfied.

Now it seems that everything is irreparable, once the Xirong people defeat the Xia'e coalition army, the momentum is great, and there is no force that can be rescued within hundreds of miles.

Now the only variable is that the commander of the Xia E coalition is the older E Yue instead of the young and vigorous Chen Jian, Wei He asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Before you came, the leader of E Yue also agreed to Ji Xia's method of fighting a decisive battle in the field?" ”

"That's right."

The envoy agreed as a matter of course, and Wei He suddenly felt a feeling of depression in his heart, and it was a little difficult to breathe, he sighed, and waved his hand to let the messenger go out first.

After the envoy left, several relatives looked worried and asked, "Leader of Weihe, have all the rafts burned?" ”

They expected Wei He to just make a show, and it was better to leave some behind, so that they would leave on a raft when they couldn't hold it anymore. Now it seems that the Xia'e coalition army is afraid that it will be defeated by the Xirong people.

Wei He nodded and said, "It's all burned." The city is in the people. If the Acropolis is gone, there will be no land, no people, no slaves. On weekdays, we don't notice it when we're in the city, but once the city is gone, what are you and me? Hiding in the mountains to pick roses and quench your thirst by eating and drinking in the spring? ”

"We can go to other cities, when we used to go to other cities, those leaders were very polite, and they had food and shelter."

Wei He shook his head and said, "At that time, there was food and lodging to treat you politely, because there were thousands of Acropolis behind you, and they could take up arms at any time to take back the insults and contempt of other cities. When we leave them, will the leaders of those cities really be like this? ”

It was difficult for these people to understand the truth, and Wei He didn't say anything more, sighing: "Didn't that Xia Cheng man say it? Before they set out on the expedition, heaven and earth had already divined for them, and perhaps they could really win. ”

At this time, only the expectation of the gods and ancestors remained, which was the last straw for the Acropolis.

After everyone left, Wei He alone took out the jade mountain that his father had left him to be given in Hwaseong and played with it, and said in his heart: If the city is really broken by the Xirong people, he will jump into the river with this jade mountain, and he will not fall into the hands of the Xirong people.

It's not tragic to think like this, but I'm ashamed, ashamed to meet my ancestors in another world, and when the time comes, I can only use this seemingly ridiculous tragedy to resist the criticism of my ancestors.

Two days later, Wei He was ready to use a final measure to arouse the fighting spirit of the whole city: promising those who had no surname to have the same rights as the old Acropolis, promising that the spoils of war in the future and the labor in peacetime would be equal to the old Acropolis.

This will cause great dissatisfaction among the relatives surnamed Wei, but this is also the last resort, it is impossible for them to let go of their own interests before they are completely desperate, their eyes are very close, and it is too late when they feel completely desperate.

Just as he was about to use these words to unite the Acropolis and go out of the city to fight while the Xirong people were far away to fight with Chen Jian, a relative stumbled in from outside and shouted, "Chief! Chieftain! Something seems to have happened to the people of Xijon! There was a mess on their side, and today they didn't even come to the vicinity of the city to provoke and shoot arrows...... Will...... Could it be that the people of Xia Cheng and Echeng really defeated the Xirong people? ”

When Wei He heard this, he followed him to the city wall, and looked out from a distance, those Xijon people who were far away seemed to be really confused, and it seemed that they were leaving?

"Impossible...... It's only been a few days, and even if Ji Xia and E Yue win, it is impossible to have results so quickly. ”

He would never believe that an expedition of 1,800 laborers could defeat several times the number of Xijon.

The envoy of Xia Cheng was also on the city wall, pointing at those Xirong people and shouting: "Leader of Weihe, it seems that Ji Xia has won, and now is the best time. Let's go out of the city and chase it. Ji Xia said that when the enemy retreats out of fear, they must be pursued, they will flee like rats, and there will be no resistance at all. In the last battle of Yangguan, our fifteen cavalry pursued those grassland tribes, killing and capturing nearly eighty people in a row......"

Wei He shook his head and said: "The last time I pursued those rebellious slaves, they were ambushed by the Xirong people in the valley, if those warriors didn't die, why were they besieged by the Xirong people?" This may be a trick by the Sijon people to lure us out of the city. ”

The messenger said hurriedly: "Last time it was deliberate, this time it must be true." ”

"Why?"

"Because Ji Xia said that he will definitely be able to defeat the Xijon people, let us pursue it."

This reason is ridiculous, but the messenger said it loudly, as if it were thin in the summer and thick in winter, and there was no reason.

Seeing that Wei He was still hesitating, the two messengers shouted: "Okay, please open the small door, we will go after us, even if we can't kill them, we can make them unable to take away the grain, cattle and sheep." This time, neither of us can participate in the decisive battle with the Xijon people, and we have lost a lot of credit, so how can we get land slaves when we go back? We went out with Brother Muma, but we were no better than those who were still in the tribe......"

"That is, the leader of the Weihe River will not go out, but we will go out ourselves. We are from Xiacheng, and we only listen to Ji Xia, but the leader of Weihe can't control us......"

The two of them watched as those Xijon people were retreating in a panic, impatient. Wei He was a little angry when he heard these words, the people in the rest of the city would not be like this, Xia Cheng still lacked too much etiquette.

However, the two begged again and again, Wei He had no choice but to open the corner gate, and the two rode their war horses, shouting and rushing out......

Wei He looked at the fleeing Xirong people with some stunned eyes, and muttered, "Could it be ...... Really won? ”

When the sun set, the two men had not returned, and Wei He knew that he was afraid that the Xijon people were really trying to lure him out of the city, as he thought, and the two men believed in their leader so much that they gave their lives.

But this thought lasted for a moment, and was interrupted by a shout from under the city, where six or seven horses came running and shouted from afar towards the acropolis: "Great victory! Victory! Ji Xia and the leader of Eyue defeated the Xirong people forty miles away! Chief Sijon was killed, and all of them were scattered! ”

For a moment, the entire Acropolis city wall was extremely quiet, and then a burst of cheers broke out, Wei He held the flagpole beside him, his body shook slightly, and when the guards next to him wanted to come to help, he waved his hand and pushed it away.

"Really won?"

Looking at the empty outside of the city, those Xirong people had no time to carry after retreating, and said angrily: "Weihe, Weihe, how did you become as timid as a rabbit after a failure?" You don't have to go through the courage of two soldiers in Xia City......"

He laughed self-deprecatingly, looking at those riders in Xia City, relieved.

The Acropolis will not be threatened by the Sijon people, but ...... Today's Acropolis, how should it face Xia Cheng and E City?

After a moment of distraction, he hurriedly shouted, "Open the city gate quickly, and invite the messenger of Xia Cheng to come in." Spread the news of Ji Xia Eyue's great victory in the whole city, kill the sheep and worry about wine tonight, and all the expenses will come out of the public property...... By the way, there are surnames and no surnames, and they are all the same tonight. Enough meat tubes, an urn of wine! ”

After speaking, he personally went down to the city to meet the envoy of Xiacheng, and the envoy of Xiacheng dismounted according to the rules and saluted Wei He, and said respectfully: "The two leaders of Ji Xia and E Yue are taking the relatives surnamed Wei to pursue the scattered Xirong people, this expedition is too far, we put the grain in Heyin and it is difficult to transfer, and we also ask the leader of Weihe to prepare the food of the army......"

Wei He said with a smile: "Of course, you work hard, go and rest first, and I will prepare the food for the army." When will the two leaders of Ji Xia and E Yue arrive? I'm going out of town to greet you! (To be continued.) )
