Chapter 1357: Recruiting the army (2/2)
...
For the next ten days, he stayed dormant in Master Lingjiu's cave, analyzing the techniques left by Master Lingjiu, and simulating the sound and light effects that would be released during the display of these magical powers.
At the same time, he also reviewed the many classical magical powers in the Liantian Tower in Ou Yezi's memory.
Afterwards, he re-refined many magic weapons left by Master Lingjiu, and refined several brand new ancient magic weapons.
Li Yao reflected on his battle with Master Lingjiu, and felt that he had revealed too many traces of moves that did not belong to this era. When he fell into the eyes of the caring person, it was inevitable that some flaws would be exposed.
For example, the worst possibility is that if there is already a scout from the Expeditionary Force of the True Human Empire, lurking in this world, he may be able to see through his identity.
Therefore, Li Yao decided to use classical magical powers and ancient magic weapons to deal with the enemy without exposing the moves and magic weapons he brought from the Federation without any last resort.
In this exploration, it is very likely that you will encounter a strong person above the high-level metaphysical infant. Therefore, the disguise of disguise must also adopt an unusual method, and slowly change his appearance from the cellular level.
This is also a meticulous embroidery skill, which took Li Yao half a month.
For more than half a month, he certainly would not let go of the traces of the envoy, and sent Xiaolong to search for the traces of the opponent's crush in the jungle, not too far away from behind the opponent's ass.
After a **** battle more than half a month ago, especially after beheading a master of the pill formation level, the local barbarians seemed to be deeply jealous of recruiting and making the army. Since then, there has been no head-on conflict, but they have turned into small stocks and concealed. In the jungle, if they didn't guard against it, they would sneak attacks, beat them piecemeal, kill one or two, and three or five people escaped.
This kind of warfare is extremely difficult, and coupled with the natural miasma and poisonous mist in the Wuman Mountain forest, it makes the army miserable. The original strong and strong top warriors have become thin and weak. .
However, not all forest witches are against the ”Master of the King”.
After half a month of observation, Li Yao gradually discovered that the barbarians in this area are roughly divided into two types, one of which is a thoroughbred and blood-drinking tattoo, a tattoo with broken hair, and a bone-pierced nose ring all over, living in a cave tree deep in the forest. In the nest, live on safari.
This type of barbarian has the deepest hostility towards the king's master.
There is also a type of barbarians who live in places with a slightly better environment, such as beside streams and valleys. They also reclaim farmland, grow crops, and lead a relatively stable life.
This kind of barbarians are more civilized, and their daily utensils are relatively exquisite. They also know that they use rattan armor and cloth to cover their bodies. They even have a concept similar to ”towns”. In towns, there are some faces and clothes that are no different from the king. The ”Central Plains” of China, engaged in such activities as iron-making and commerce. In a relatively large stockade, Li Yao even saw a white-haired old Confucian who looked like a ”master” with more than a dozen barbarians. Child, study shook his head.
It seems that the concepts of ”shengfan” and ”familiar fan” also exist here. There are savages who are rebellious and resist the king's master, and there are also obedient people who admire the culture of the Central Plains and obey the rule of the central dynasty.
Sure enough, Li Yao discovered that the marching route of this recruiting army seemed to be targeting these ”cooked fan” castles in the hundred thousand mountains.
Every time they visited the walled city, although the local natives could not be said to be ”eating pots of pulp in order to welcome the king,” their attitude on the surface was fairly respectful.
In particular, the envoy surnamed Ling picked up the flagpole of the barbarian pill-forming monk ”Black Ah Noi” who had been killed more than half a month ago. After going around the village, the natives in each city were all stunned. His complexion was earthy, and he dared not commit any disorder.
They recruited all the seriously wounded in the army to stay for recuperation, and prepared sufficient food, clean water, and medicines that are indispensable in the jungle for the army, and even many barbarians took the initiative to join the ranks of the recruits. The flamboyant banners flying all over the sky have made the army more powerful.
And the envoy surnamed Ling did not live up to the ”expectations” of these natives. Everywhere he went, as long as the locals were superficially obedient, he would take out some from the camp... Anyway, in Li Yao's eyes, it seemed to be a ”sacred decree.” ”In short, the imperial court canonized the local barbarian king Dongzhu.
Man Wang Dong, who was granted the canonization and awarded the official position, was overjoyed and worked harder to prepare supplies and soldiers for the king.
This was also the conventional method used by the Central Dynasty to deal with barbarians in many ancient worlds.
How do you say ”recruit and discuss”? It is the barbarians who are obedient to the court. They ”recruited” and incorporated them into the bureaucratic system of the court, making him an official, and then join him to ”punish” those disobedient barbarians.
Taking advantage of the opponent's internal contradictions and using barbarism to control barbarism is the clever trick. Otherwise, how can the unacceptable Central Plains army be able to completely quell the many barbarians who are poor?
Li Yao didn't care much about ordinary barbarians joining the ”Master of the King”.
However, in addition to the ordinary barbarians, as the news spread that the army was going deep into the jungle, every city visited, there were also many aura-shrouded “wonders” of the barbarians who came to take effect.
Snakes, tigers, ghosts, hippos, buffaloes, crocodiles, sika deer, and all kinds of strange barbarian monks emerged from the horns.
