Generally speaking, Li Shushi's trip to the Jie clan was a near miss, and the final ending can be regarded as a happy one for everyone.
As Li Gan said at the beginning, it is true that if a caravan wants to stably obtain a trade route, it must pass the test of iron and blood, especially if this trade route is to be built in a country like Jieren, who not only has to ensure that they have enough food and clothing every year, but also need to go through the test of iron and blood.
This is especially true for the people who surrendered a lot of supplies to their overlords, the Xiongnu. After all, if you pay less, your tribe will have more room for maneuver, not to mention there will be some unexpected gains.
Unless they clearly know that the result of robbery will be meat buns and dog beatings - no return, these barbarians are definitely more adventurous than those businessmen. After all, they who survive in the bitter cold land seem to be living a better life just looking around.
Take care of yourself.
Li Shushi had a deep understanding of this after following these two caravan operations. He believed that this was also why the Mongols laid down such a huge empire - for the Central Asian desert, which was considered barren in the eyes of the Central Plains people, was in Mongolia.
The wealth gathered in the eyes of the rulers is more than what they could get back after spending several lifetimes as shepherds. Of course, Master Ma's soul must shine in the sky.
Therefore, Li Shushi's caravan, which left Lu Bu, whose evil reputation had begun to spread in Bingzhou again, in Lishi, naturally experienced the test of blood and fire again, but this time with the presence of experienced personal guards.
It was easier for everyone to deal with it than last time, not to mention that compared to Wu Luan, the horseback strategist who followed Li Shushi last time, this time the person following Li Shushi was Jia Xu, whose skill in magic was very suitable for his personality.
Here we have to mention Jia Xu’s signature strategy of seduction. Although Jia Xu is just a rough and arrogant man, he does not have the graceful figure of a dancer, nor the charming appearance of Mori Ranmaru (
Perhaps the example of "Slag Sparrow" Chiha Minase is more appropriate), so there is really no bonus in this strategy.
But who is Comrade Lao Jia? He smiled contemptuously. Although he didn't look back with a charming smile like a fierce lolita, his calm expression let everyone know that he didn't care about the nonsense in front of him.
He was completely ignored. Of course, it didn't take long for this smile to become a standard "devil's smile" in the eyes of the enemy.
And when Jia Xu's temptation came out, Li Shushi knew how powerful this skill was. Because this skill did not extract a certain amount of the enemy's vitality to replenish himself as Li Shushi had imagined before, but instead
Directly and temporarily control a certain number of enemies. The most important thing is that this kind of control completely ignores whether the enemy is organized. As long as the enemy's forces are not too scattered, the controlled enemies can suddenly switch sides.
Of course, except for a very few identical entities or those that are too unruly, controlled enemies will instinctively resist this control to varying degrees, so there will be some obvious pauses or delays when they take action.
, so that it cannot reach a certain point of the controller
This kind of purpose. This small flaw does not damage the result of his magical skills. Coupled with the ebb and flow, coupled with the unpredictability of a close comrade suddenly stabbing a knife in the back, the morale of the Hu people was hit because of Su Xiaoluo.
Li's powerful treatment made her reluctant to give up, and she immediately took action.
However, although the temptation strategy is very powerful, after the battle, Li Shushi felt that it might be a double-edged sword, because everyone looked at Jia Xu with fear in their eyes. Obviously, everyone's minds were filled with fear.
Thoughts like "What if this guy is an enemy" or "What if there are Taoist priests among our enemies" came up.
Even Jia Xu, whose face is thicker than a city wall, can't stand that kind of bad look that is mixed with fear, unwillingness and desire to get rid of it. After all, when the eyes of everyone are focused on his face, he is like the one admired by all people.
Spirit-like abilities can be improved rapidly, but the little-known Chuuni Shining
Although a certain Ying X king himself had amazing strength, he was beaten quite depressed by a short, stupid (hooded?) king whose wife, who was originally willing to have sex with him, was NTRed by his subordinates. So even though Jia Xu is so thick-skinned,
Even the city walls cannot withstand an attack as powerful as the heat vision of Superman wearing red underwear.
"How should I put it? Temptation is originally a very effective way to save life by using mental power to extract the enemy's life force. But because Xiliang is relatively chaotic, I often need to use this skill, so during the process of using it,
Zhong then gained a deeper understanding of it, and finally transformed into this result. However, this skill is only for those who are not strong-willed.
Or guys with low mental power are of some use. I can't control guys with excellent mental power. Even if I can control the determined ones, they can resist my orders or even break away from my control. As for whether other Taoist priests have mastered similar abilities.
That is beyond my ability to understand. After all, with how big the Han Dynasty is and how many heroes there are, there are countless strange people and strangers."
Although there are still many people who can't let go of Jia Xu's explanation, their eyes are not as dazzling as they were at first. After all, Jia Xu is one of our own, and it is not that easy to do it. But in the future, Li Shushi's subordinates will
Everyone will develop the habit of carrying identification talismans with them, and Jia Xu was strictly ordered to add identification talismans to all of his clothes.
Of course, the above are all delusions. Although Jia Xu is low-key and appears to be very insidious, and uses all kinds of strategies, most of them are focused on fighting the enemy and protecting his life. Under normal circumstances, Jia Xu will not only disseminate them habitually.
Apart from having a strong sense of presence and kicking him away, he also has no ambition to overthrow this one and defeat that one. To a certain extent, he is actually a lazy person.
Precisely because of Jia Xu's existence, Li Shushi's trip to the Jie tribe was smooth sailing and smooth. Even in the end, Li Shushi hoped that there would be a few more blind thieves to give himself and his subordinates a little more experience.
It's a pity that the evil reputation of his caravan has obviously been spread by his defeated generals.
It was broadcast to the entire Jie people gathering place, and even Shi Le, the leader of the tribe they planned to visit, hesitantly asked about Li Shushi's ability to devour other people's hearts during the conversation, which made Li Shushi's
The negotiation process became smoother than expected.
Therefore, like Xihe Karasuma, Li Shushi's return trip was not only loaded with goods exchanged from the Jie people, but also received more than a dozen Jie tribe youths and dozens of Jie tribesmen provided by Shi Le and their friendly tribes for protection and care.
their soldiers.
Of course, Li Shushi was not worried that these guys would cause trouble in his own territory, because before these soldiers set off, they were clearly informed that the leader of the place they were going to had the ability to devour living people. Well, it seems that the rumors changed after a few days.
It's even more exaggerated. It's just that Li Shushi feels that it's lucky that this is not a different world (isn't it?), otherwise, how many guys claiming to be brave will pop up from nowhere and form a group to attack him. But the brave girl should be cute.
Breast bar.
It's just that plans never change as quickly as they do. Although Li Shushi returned to Lishi City with full confidence and planned to make final preparations, and then prepared to perform surgery on Jieren under Shi Le's internal and external cooperation, a piece of bad news hit him like a bucket of ice water.
It poured water all over him from body to soul, making him feel so bright that his heart felt cold.
"I'm talking about Tamago-chan, when will this snowstorm stop? It's so hard to carry out the plan to the most critical moment but something unexpected happens like this. It's really unpleasant."
Listening to the whistling wind outside the window and the snowflakes that were constantly afraid of the crackling sound caused by the wind, Li Shuyi, who was sitting on the warm fire bed, stared at the other end of the fire bed with his melancholy eyes, not knowing how to hum.
Su Xiaololi was sewing clothes to some tune. From the cheerful rhythm of the song, we could tell that her owner was in a pretty good mood.
"Even if the snow stops, the army will not be able to march under such thick snow, let alone how can you let those soldiers survive in the wild in such a cold weather and such strong wind. Speaking of which, if General Yan Liang hadn't sent us
If there were less medicine to treat frostbite, I’m afraid the soldiers would be more resistant to winter training.”
Perhaps because she couldn't bear the stimulation from Li Shushi's resentful eyes, Su Xiaololi stopped her singing angrily, put down the clothes in her hands, and helplessly looked at Li Shushi on the other side, who seemed to be "coquettishly" toward him.
"I'm just not willing to give in. I'm really not willing to give in."
"In fact, if you think about it, such a heavy snow might be a good thing. At least it can cause those barbarians a lot of losses, and then you can take this opportunity to continue training your soldiers. You can provide funding after next spring
Those tribes that are at peace with us are also provoking fights between tribes that are not on good terms with each other. For us, the pressure on defense is always much less than on offense. Anyway, similar things have already happened.
Hundreds of years."
"But what about your Majesty's mission? If those Hu people and Qiang people join forces, it will be very bad no matter where they attack. I'm afraid you will be buried with me."
Li Shushi rolled his eyes at Su Xiaoluoli, obviously disapproving of her statement.
"If the Hu people in Xihe raise an army, they only want supplies, so they can't go to the remote countryside of Xiliang and have to compete with hundreds of thousands of Qiang people for food. And if the Qiang people come to us, do you really think we
Can't you defend Lishi City? You can actually do a lot of things in one winter. As long as I
We will spread the news that Lishi City has a large amount of supplies. With the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands, I believe that even if the captain's mind is not clear enough, he will not lack capable people. As for me, I don't need it.
You're worried, but if you die, be careful what knitwear will appear on your head."
You want me to be NTRed, that must be what you mean. Li Shushi looked at Su Xiaololi with a sly smile and had the urge to hit a wall.
But obviously with the coming of the snowstorm, especially not knowing what the weather will be like in the future, Li Shushi knew that his plan might have to be redrawn.
"It's just that it feels bad to have to start over again..."
Li Shushi, who didn't know when he snuggled into the warm quilt, sighed lazily.
