The cold wind was biting, the torch was swaying, and the cold light of the sword was reflected on everyone's faces, adding a bit of chill to the situation.
However, the quarrelsome scene gradually became calmer with Wu Yi's arrival. Everyone was waiting for Wu Yi's decision. With this battle, Wu Yi completely gained the prestige that his position of power should have.
No one in this army can disobey his will.
As mentioned before, the reason why the prisoners made trouble this time was because they didn't have enough to eat. It is basically impossible to solve the problem.
It's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. There is already little food, and her soldiers don't even have enough to eat. How can she share it with them? These prisoners are not her basic plate, at least not at the moment.
The problem cannot be solved, but it does not mean that it cannot be alleviated. As long as a few of the thorns are removed, comforted, and most of the people stabilized, the chaos can be calmed down.
In fact, Wu Yi also followed this strategy. However, the current food and clothing still had to be guaranteed. Wu Yi could not turn it into food. Without food, all promises would be empty words.
What should I do if there is not enough food? Kill horses for food! Let’s pass these days.
Although they were captured war horses, they were still treasured! Wu Yi was heartbroken to be killed like this.
When this decision was made, many people around him opposed it, and many suggested killing him on the spot. Those prisoners understood the meaning and were even more nervous, and conflicts were about to break out!
Wu Yi argued loudly with them, and finally insisted on carrying out this idea. After Wu Yi eased the tension, the tension of the prisoners gradually eased, and they were no longer in a tense posture.
Even though the soldiers were dissatisfied with this, they could only act accordingly, boiling water, plucking hair, and sharpening knives. The sharp edge of the knife pierced directly into the chest of the war horse, and the hot blood gurgled.
surge out.
It is actually extremely inhumane to let a soldier kill a horse for food, because one moment, he was your comrade-in-arms, and at this moment, you plunge a knife into his heart, which is completely devoid of humanity.
I'm just hungry. I even want to chop off my own hands and roast them to eat, let alone my comrades! Canglin knows etiquette well enough, but when you have a flat stomach, no steamed buns will help you!
That night, because of Wu Yi's order, many people killed the war horses in tears.
In fact, there were some corpses of dead horses on the battlefield before, but not only were they mixed with all kinds of dirt, they were also mixed with human flesh and blood. No one would want to find such "food" at all.
This crisis was over for the time being. A total of hundreds of war horses were killed. In front of this group of gluttons, not even a drop of broth was left. In order to feed these prisoners, Wu Yi's daily consumption was really too great.
In addition, killing the war horses for food will also expose the enemy's food shortage to the enemy, and the Rinan defenders may launch a second offensive.
Wu Yi thought about this. It cannot be said that Wu Yi did not take advantage of this and rob a wave of Rinan defenders. They had a lot of sheep.
Someone had used this to advise Wu Yi before. Among the many serious xenophobic suggestions, it was a breath of fresh air. Wu Yi finally felt that he had a confidant by his side.
Early the next morning, Wu Yi specifically searched for this person.
This man had not been well-known in the army before, nor was he a bandit leader. Wu Yi did not notice him at all. At this moment, looking at this man, well, he was still completely featureless, with a square face and delicate features, and he could not be remembered.
What words would describe this person?
It is hard to imagine that such a person could come from the gangster camp.
However, Wu Yi didn't bother to ask about his past, and he might not get an answer if he asked.
"What's your name?" Wu Yi asked sternly, sitting on the chair. This is a talented person, and Wu Yi is willing to treat him with courtesy.
The man knelt down and saluted and said, "I gave you a mean name for a small man, but it is not worthy of the ears of a great man!"
"Given to me," Wu Yi frowned slightly, considered it, and said with a smile, "It's a bit rare!"
What's so strange is that my surname is a major surname of the Rinan tribe, and this simple-looking man is actually a noble! Either he is lying, or he has something hidden.
"The boy's mother was a girl from the Great Ji people who was kidnapped to the North, and his father was a nobleman of the Ninan tribe! But he died in the war a few years ago."
"No wonder he has some knowledge!" Wu Yi said clearly. The meaning of Yu Wu's words had already hinted that he was an illegitimate child.
My mother was born in a humble family. She probably had a bad childhood and was bullied by others. She ended up being a gangster. This may also be related to the internal struggles within the Yuwu clan.
As for Yu Wuci's last sentence, Wu Yi began to think about who in the Yuwu clan had died in battles in recent years. Of course, he did not rule out that every word Yu Wuci said was a lie.
No matter what his identity is, he still wants to overthrow the world by his side. Wu Yi asked: "You said that killing horses for food will cause the Rinan tribe to attack again. In your opinion, when will the Rinan tribe attack again?"
An attack is coming? How should we respond?"
This is a question of advice. If Yu Wuci can answer it accurately, it will not be difficult to find a career under Wu Yi.
"The news of the horse killing will come out, it could be tonight, or it could be within five days!" Yu Wu said with confidence, his eyes like torches, and he didn't even blink.
Wu Yi sneered and said: "Previously, we defeated the Rinan bandits and killed them until they were in a panic. Do they still dare to sneak attack at this time?"
"The Rinan people all have the temper to retaliate, let alone the current situation, which is unusual. How can the leader dare to think that he is perfect?" Yu Wuci did not panic at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a tit-for-tat confrontation.
When he heard the words "Today is extraordinary," Wu Yi knew that this person was not comparable to other idiots. He really knew the general trend. It was obvious that the battle of Tianlang City was a political battle.
, is to promote conversation through chatting.
Wu Yi was not formal, stood up and bowed to Yu Wu, bowing almost ninety degrees, and said: "Sir, please give me some advice!"
See, even the title has been changed, sir. With one word, Yu Wuci successfully gained Wu Yi's respect.
Please let Yu Wuci sit next to him, and Wu Yi personally pours wine for him. After some negotiation, the atmosphere has become extremely harmonious.
Yu Wuci smiled and said: "From what I see, the general must have realized that the act of killing horses will lead to a sneak attack by the Rinan tribe. It is just to use the enemy's tactics and take advantage of the enemy's food and salary!"
Wu Yi listened, smiled and said nothing, and waited for Yu Wu to continue speaking. In contrast, before, his own side was in civil strife and had no defense. Even if the people of the Rinan tribe knew that Wu Yi had a plan, they would take the bait. This is a conspiracy.
,.
This time, although it is also a conspiracy, will they still be fooled after the previous losses? Wu Yi doesn't know, but it is obviously much more difficult.
