Honghui and Hongxian don't know anything about these things now. The two of them are running through the starry night with their men. The first thing they do is to intercept the person who captured Hongxi. This face must be regained!
How to find these people?
When they actually put it to use, Honghui and Hongxian realized that many of the things they usually listen to as stories are useful. For example, they can roughly judge from the traces left, how many people and horses, how long ago the traces were left, and where they were.
What has been done in this place, etc., can all be judged.
Then chase in this direction! Only chasing in this direction is the least way to alert the other party. The other party will think that this is revenge for burning food and grass, and will never associate it with other things. Even if there are scouts
If you inquire about the news, you will never think that these people are going for food and grass.
The other party didn't even think about hiding it. They were a very confident group of people, and they should be somewhat damaged. Now it looks like there are less than twenty people. The distance is far, and the other party's bow and arrow can't hit it, but it can, and the horse's target
Big, hit it along with the horse.
The horses were in pain and frightened for a short period of time and ran, but they would be exhausted before they could run very far. These people didn't have many arrow clusters left. They used up most of them when they escaped. Now they can only send
Hope in close combat.
As for being naked up close, this is what I'm least afraid of. If you don't care about your life, just take off your arms. Then dig a hole, and it's enough for one and a half people. Are you afraid that people will run away? It's easy to do, each person has a leg, and the calf is
As long as your knees are misaligned, you can't move them.
Still want to run? No one can escape!
They were all thrown into the pit and their mouths were gagged. "I hope we can fight quickly. In this way, you still have the possibility of being captured alive. Otherwise, if the wolf doesn't come to eat you, you will freeze to death and starve to death."
Hongxian called his bodyguard, "Go, find hay, put a layer of hay on the bottom, and cover it with a layer on top. Don't really freeze to death."
Then you have to make a disguise and hide it tightly first. In addition, sprinkle some powder on this circle. Don't really cry wolf or other things, these people will eat it.
We packed everything up and even killed the injured horses and hid them. These more than 20 horses were just meat after killing them! The current temperature can't damage it for the time being, so let's deal with it like this first.
Honghui leaned against the horse and did not move. There was a small map spread out in front of him, and he was currently staring at the map.
Hongxian leaned over, holding a piece of grass in his mouth: "How about pretending to be these people and sneaking in? How about pulling those people out alone for interrogation..."
It's true that you can get closer by being disguised, and it's easy to sneak in. However, if you think about it for a few more steps, you will find that the troubles caused by doing so are endless.
Honghui didn't speak, and it took him a long time to look at Hongxian seriously, "Dad once said that there are many ways in this world, but robbery is the worst method."
Yes, Amma said that. Hongxian pondered for a moment and understood what his elder brother meant, "No matter what time, robbing can easily cause hostility."
Yes! We shouldn't be hostile to so many people.
Hongxian whispered: "Eniang said, this knife can be divided into hard and soft. If it is irreconcilable, the knife must be hard and sharp, and you should not hesitate to kill. If it can be reconciled, then you must use a soft knife. A soft knife does not hurt, but
It's also fatal. Big brother wants us to use a soft knife this time."
Yes! The hard knife was used, and more than half of the 300,000 people were killed or injured. If this continues, the tribe will be wiped out.
We can't do this. Killing us is not the goal, and it can never be the goal.
Honghui put away the map and looked at Hongxian, "This time, how about we bring both soft and hard knives with us and go to the meeting alone?"
Hongxian understood in an instant that he was going openly without hiding anything. He was wearing two knives, soft and hard, in his arms. If the soft knife didn't work, he couldn't persuade the other party, so he would put the scene of kidnapping Hongxi in front of the other party.
Repeat it on the chassis.
As for whether the other party will meet people from the court, don't worry about that. The other party must still want to keep the hostages, and use them in exchange when the last resort comes.
Moreover, neither he nor his eldest brother can compare to ordinary hostages. As long as Amma has such important secrets, these people have no reason not to see him and his eldest brother. But at the same time, the risk is even greater.
He would think that as long as he captured his brother or himself, he could exchange for an equally important firearm.
On this point, the eldest brother knows it, and he knows it too.
However, the difficulty with the word benevolence is that it is easier said than done. Who can't speak the words of a saint when he is not a real person?
It is so difficult to put the words of the sage into practice.
Knowing that Hongxian understood this truth, Honghui didn't say much, but looked at the followers who were following him: "This trip, I have to ask you to go into danger with our brothers! Yes! It is dangerous to seize food and grass, and it is also dangerous to go to the meeting alone, but
Why did you choose the latter? This is not a show of heroism, this is a little careless, and you will really die. If you steal food and grass, if you miss, you still have a chance to escape. But going to the meeting alone is difficult! This time, no one will
There are three outcomes. First, I convinced the other party that they were willing to put down their swords and accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Second, the other party imprisoned us in exchange for bargaining chips with the imperial court. Third, the other party did not give us a chance at all and killed us directly.
It’s over.”
As he spoke, he paused and said, "Of these three, the second is the most likely."
If you follow someone, you will be anxious. If you are imprisoned, your good future will be ruined.
Honghui nodded, "So, we have to be prepared for both things! Let's divide our troops into two groups. One group will follow me and generously persuade you to surrender! The other group will follow the second elder brother, and he will tell you what to do."
, turned his face to look at Hongxian, but didn’t say a word that was superfluous.
Hongxian opened his mouth to say something, but shut up in the end, "Okay! Brother, be careful." Honghui nodded and took the lead in getting on the horse. After he got on the horse, he said: "Why don't I choose the first way to seize food and grass? Because Hongxian and I
Once we obtain food and grass, it means that we are very close to the enemy camp. At this time, General Wuya does not dare to be careless. In order to ensure that no accidents occur, he will use all available firearms as quickly as possible.
To end the war and ensure our safety! If so, do you know how many people will die? Do you also know how deep the seeds of hatred will be planted? This world must be governed eventually! Temporary
Surrender is not surrender after all. I don’t want to wait thirty or fifty years later, so many people will still die on today’s battlefield. The place we are going to today is also the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
The people are also the people of the Qing Dynasty, and people all over the world are treated equally. They may be deceived, coerced, or forced, but no matter what the reason, the court must tolerate it first with the mentality of parents tolerating their children. This time,
There are many dangers, but those who are afraid of the dead will stay where they are to repair. Those who are not afraid of danger, mount their horses and follow me."
After saying that, he only glanced at Hongxian and then left!
Hongxian didn't move. He looked at his eldest brother's entourage and said nothing. He jumped on the horse in unison, chased his eldest brother closely, and then rode away.
Hongxian stood there, his mind racing rapidly. What should he do at this time? First, make sure that his eldest brother doesn't get trapped and unable to get out. Second, he must ensure food and grass.
If the eldest brother fails, he must ensure these two points. Following Hongxian is a child from the Xitala family named Liushun.
Liushun asked hurriedly: "Master, what should I do?"
That's what Hongxian said. The thirteen of them must guarantee to accomplish two things, rescue the eldest brother and seize food and grass.
Liushun squatted and whispered, "We have the ability to burn food and grass with a fire, but how can we save the eldest brother and seize the food and grass? With such a small number of people... it is simply impossible to do two things separately.
of."
Yes! Impossible!
When he said this, no one who followed him was frightened.
But everyone can be afraid, but Hongxian can't. He was very sure, "Don't be discouraged yet, it sounds like one thing, but it's actually something different!"
What?
Yes! This is actually a thing!
All kinds of thoughts were rolling in his mind, and he picked up the rubbish at random, and then placed the small rubbish densely together, and then piled a layer of larger rubbish on top of it, and kept stacking it up. These things grew up in the house.
All the children have played with this, which is called building blocks. The seventh and eighth elder brothers in the family are still playing with this.
Hongxian built a trembling earth tower out of earthen rubbish, with a larger earthen earthen tower on top. He still remembered that when he and his eldest brother were playing this when they were children, E Niang was making Hongxu a bellyband and saying,
"What is the most important thing when playing with this thing? Is it to stand at the highest point? No! If you want to play stably, it depends on the lower layer. The more stable the lower layer is, the more solid the upper layer will be. If the lower layer shakes slightly, the upper layer will move.
The mountain shook."
At this moment, this is what he thought of! The elder brother went to find the top one and convinced him that he could temporarily take down all the ones with his hands. This is the best thing according to the current situation.
.
But if he can't persuade him to surrender, he has to force the other party to surrender.
How to force it?
He stretched out his hand and pulled out the bottom layer of earth and rubbish that he had laid out before. The top one immediately shook. He pulled it again, and the top layer shook even more violently. He pulled it one after another, and the piled up earth tower on the top began to shake.
It collapsed instantly, and then rolled to his feet.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the garbage, looked at it, looked up at the people in the circle, and then patiently explained the truth, patting the garbage in his hand to avoid being beaten, "Brother is looking for this guy, it's better if he obeys me."
, if he is disobedient, we will pull out the smaller ones below. Time is too tight, and we want to pull out more and make the top ones fall down. This is a bit difficult. But if we don’t ask him to come down, we will just move a little.
The purpose of these small ones is to make them shake. As long as they are shaken, they will be scared, and if they are scared, they will want to have a good talk with the big brother, and our goal has been achieved."
But what if the other party is not afraid?
Hongxian sneered, "That means you don't have to eat and drink as a penalty. When the time comes, I will destroy him from bottom to top."
But didn’t the eldest brother say, don’t kill people?
Who said that destroying the opponent's foundation is killing someone?
Hongxian jumped on his horse: "Let's go! I don't kill people, but I kill people's hearts!"
