Chapter 452: Quick Sword
Civil strife will always make an otherwise strong force weak, and at the same time, a weak force must be due to internal disunity, as long as everyone understands that a straw is easy to be torn off, and a lot of straw can become very resilient when they form a rope.
Everyone understands the truth that unity can be strong, but as long as people will have thoughts, a person has an idea, two people will become two ideas, the more people will have more ideas, the more chaotic the ideas, especially when there is no strong person to suppress everyone, what unity is just a slogan to shout when bored, but after shouting what to do, it will still be done.
A country, a nation, a leader, there are a bit of brainwashing slogans, but if you want to do something, you really can't do without a strong figure. Because people are inherently selfish, when they think that they can make a difference and achieve more benefits, they have no fear, respect, and obedience, and everyone will want to be the boss, and the result is that their hearts are not aligned.
Lu Zhe did not form a mentality of looking down on Baiyue from Baiyue's barbaric social system, or because Baiyue people were too heavily equipped. He knew all too well how fragile an alliance could be, especially if it wasn't strong enough to subdue everyone.
There are many people in the Baiyue tribe, and this state has been maintained for nearly two hundred years, during which there may be many heroes and heroes who want to unite all the Baiyue people, but according to the actual situation now, those heroes and heroes who have appeared have not succeeded, otherwise Baiyue will not maintain a scattered appearance.
If the alliance can go smoothly and the alliance leader has superb political ability, then it is really possible for the tribal leaders to have a centripetal force (that is, submission) to the alliance leader and evolve into a merged ethnic group. For example, before the Xia Dynasty appeared, the Xuanyuan clan was also allied with many tribes, and Chiyou was also in a tribal state, and each ethnic group started with a tribal alliance. Eventually, it was called a new race under the killing of powerful people.
Now there are not many forces of tribal alliances, according to Lu Zhe's knowledge, Baiyue is one, Xiongnu is one, Yueshi is also one, and the Donghu and Qiang people are also in the state of tribal alliances. Perhaps in the far west, in addition to the Roman Republic and the Greek Confederation, the Germans, Thracians, Celts, and Euris were ...... A chaotic group of tribes, they are also in the form of tribal alliances.
Qin Empire...... Perhaps counting the re-established nations, the Roman Republic and the Greek Confederation, the Assyrian Empire, the Persian Empire, and ......, during this same period, Lu Zhe was more or less able to hold his head up and say to his subordinates that they did not understand: "We are more advanced than too many ethnic social systems. ”
Advanced civilizations will be defeated by backward civilizations. Barbarian civilization destroyed advanced civilization, Lu Zhe thought of these later, but he didn't think that "barbarian civilization" would be called Baiyue Clans.
A war that is destined to be won is no longer worth thinking too much about Lu Zhe, what he should devote the most effort to thinking about how to cultivate the foundation.
Soldiers who obey orders, qualified officers, and excellent generals have a future before there is no weapon of destruction in this law of the jungle. These are even more important than the social productive forces, at least the Song State, which has historically accounted for at least forty percent of the world's productive forces, lacks an army that can protect herself, and in the face of aggression, she resists and resists again, or more than 100,000 people, who are not even afraid of death, but are afraid of fighting with the enemy. Choose to jump off a cliff for the funeral and end.
Lu Zhe didn't know how far he could go, but the Baiyue people would definitely not be able to stop him from moving forward. However, the enemies in his path will not only be Baiyue, but there will be a very, very many obstacles. lacks sufficient foundation to move forward rashly, and the result is nothing but being torn apart and devoured by the roadblock.
It took a day to complete the communication with Luo Shao, but Lu Zhe did not immediately set off for the battlefield on the west bank of Xiangshui, he was waiting for the official letter of receipt from the Jingling Water Army. I also want to see what the situation on the front line will develop without my own command.
It's ridiculous to say, the more capable people under Lu Zhe's command seem to be all generals who have surrendered or surrendered, and Sima Xin handed in a flawed but amazing answer sheet. What kind of answer sheet Zhou Wen will hand in has also become a little exciting.
No one knew what Lu Zhe wanted to do, and the patriarch of the three clans, who had been in the camp here in Zishui for a few days, didn't know even more.
When Luo Shao led more than 100,000 people to arrive, the patriarch of the three clans was surprised to find that there were also Baiyue people under Lu Zhe's command. They were far clearer about the ethnic structure of Baiyue than Lu Zhelai, so when they saw so many Baiyue ethnic groups working under Lu Zhe, their heads were a little dazed at that moment.
In fact, the name of Baiyue is not static, they will change their names appropriately when changing habitats, the three clans intentionally or unintentionally understood, they found that those Baiyue people under the command of Lu Zhe are very complicated, there are quite a lot of tribes originally belonged to Guiyue, Ouyue, Nanyue, Minyue, of course, now they are no longer part of the original Baiyue tribal alliance. It may be a bit of a twist, but these Baiyue people, who were formerly known as other tribal alliances, are basically from Qianzhong.
The Baiyue people over there in Qianzhong are loyal to Lu Zhe, can it be understood that Lu Zhe actually doesn't hate Baiyue so much? Then another meaning is derived, these Baiyue people who once invaded the north and fought with Lu Zhe's army can be accepted, so there should be no problem with people like the three clans, right?
The three clans who guessed this were a little more stable in their hearts, as long as Lu Zhe was not so love-hate or something, and could accept people with stains, and they also heard that Sima Xin, who had made great achievements in Luo County, was a general, they finally had some hope.
"If we can be useful, we must be able to accept and reuse it, right?" This idea is very important to the patriarch of the three clans, who are already in a nervous mood.
Lu Zhe's senses were very keen, and when he summoned the three clans again, he immediately noticed the change in the demeanor of the three patriarchs.
How so? That kind of trembling is still there, but the three of them have less of an inexplicable fear, and more of it has been replaced by fear. Fear and fear are two different things, it's not that you're playing with any words, having fear in your heart must be a wandering desire to resist, but fear is an attitude that comes after surrendering or not daring or not wanting to resist anymore.
After a long time, Lu Zhe has finally developed some sense of smell that he should have as a human master, and he found that the three clans had such a change, and immediately seized the opportunity, asking the three clans to gather the corresponding troops, and at the same time let the three clans take out grain to supply the troops that have become huge.
Gather troops? Since the patriarchs of the three clans had already been mentally prepared to fight together with the army, they simply responded to the order.
Grain ...... Take out the food that belongs to the family as a supply? Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and it took a long time before Lian An cautiously asked how many quantities.
As soon as Lian An's words fell, Huang Ping's face immediately changed, and Huang Ping didn't know what he wanted to prompt with his eyes just now, but Huang Ping was prompting Lian An and Ning Benliao to hurry up and agree together.
Lu Zhe dragged on for so long to talk about the matter of providing supplies, which meant that this monarch, who had five counties and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, did not believe in the sincerity of the three of them, and now it was finally brought up, just when it was time to show sincerity without any conditions to cooperate!
Lian An asked how much, and Lu Zhe, who heard the question, looked at Huang Ping, who was panicked, and Ningbenliao, who was a little hesitant.
"How much can you come up with?" There was not much emotion in Lu Zhe's voice.
As soon as the words fell, Huang Ping immediately rushed to say: "Lord, the Huang family is willing to give everything." ”
Well, he is a discerning one, knowing that such a choice is right at this moment, Lu Zhe did not speak, glanced at Huang Ping, and then looked at Lian An and Ning Benliao.
What do you mean? Speaking of advancing and retreating together, isn't Huang Ping's statement a betrayal of the alliance? Even An didn't have time to be indignant in his heart, and Yong Benliao also expressed his willingness to give everything.
Okay, the two guys who know the current affairs understand what Lu Zhe means, only Lian An is still there with a tangled face.
Lu Zhejun, who opened the road to make Linyuan, Cangwu County, a transit station, under the deployment of many animal forces, although the transportation of grain is not too smooth, but there is no shortage of food, Lu Zhe has such a request to remind the three clans, saying that he already has a little bit of faith in the sincerity of the three people's investment, but no one is at ease if they do not pay the investment, let them show their hearts.
Huang Ping was the first to realize the hidden meaning of Lu Zhe, and he knew that he was not smart but felt that it was not wrong to follow Huang Ping to make a decision, and both of them had already expressed their attitudes, leaving only Lian An, who was still hesitating and tangled, was very "eye-catching".
"So...... Huang and Yong's food donations, Lian's grain will be purchased. Lu Zhe doesn't care what Lian An is thinking, he has already given the opportunity, the Huang family and the Yong family seize the opportunity, and the Lian family wastes this last opportunity no matter what it is, then the result is doomed.
"Contributions?" Lian An was happy at first, and then suddenly felt wrong, "This ...... No, no ......," he said, his footsteps kept retreating, and his eyes were scanning around to see if there was an ambush or something.
Lu Zhe didn't smash the cup or anything, and there was not a single knife and axe hand in the so-called tent.
Lian An was flustered for a while before he realized that he was suspicious, he felt that the Lian family was only a tyrant in Changsha, and Lu Zhe would be able to use the Lian family no matter what, and finally greed defeated reason.
Lu Zhe didn't say anything more, he said "waving the army tomorrow", and asked the three of them to retreat.
There was no sword and axe hand pouring out, and Lian An, who had withdrawn from the tent, was extremely happy and relieved, and he suddenly felt that the lord of the five counties and the master of hundreds of thousands of male soldiers were too weak, and this thought waved the sword in his hand while standing guard outside the tent and became the eternity in the flying head.
The soldiers of the Lian clan who had been arranged to be surrounded by the army early, when a desolate horn sounded, 5,000 people were also engulfed by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. (To be continued......)
