The corners of Mr. Hu's mouth twitched. Hearing Lie Chi's answer, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a moment. He was still a little unwilling, and looked at the other two deputies who were equivalent to Lie Chi. I wanted to see if they had any other explanations, if they would be more classy than Lie Chi.
To Mr. Hu's dismay, the two guys who usually had their heads sharpened to get the upper hand had their heads almost lowered to their crotches at this moment, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads to face Mr. Hu's gaze.
What kind of blood, what kind of superiority, in the final analysis, this is a matter of life and death. Especially when they heard the words "Arrow Wolf Tribe", the fear of being dominated swept over them, leaving them completely unable to muster any courage to face it.
They are not stupid either. Of course they know that Master Hu wants to get a different answer from them.
It's not that they don't want to show strength and bloodiness in front of Master Hu, but all this requires strength to support it. With my own strength, not to mention whether or not my subordinates are convinced, what chance do I have of winning against the Arrow Wolf Tribe, even if all my subordinates are united?
Master Hu's heart, which had been half cold, suddenly became completely cold.
These teams that usually think highly of themselves don't even have the courage to face a really tough battle? The leader is already in such a bad situation, how much fighting power can he show when he has to risk his life?
Lao Ba knew how frustrated and angry Mr. Hu was at the moment.
He couldn't help but said: "Everyone, Master Tiger has been raising his troops for a thousand days, but they only use it for a moment. How does Master Tiger treat you in normal times? Do you all have a good idea of what Master Tiger will do to you? Now it's time to fight a tough battle. You should be timid before fighting. Empower others with their ambition." If you destroy your own prestige, Master Hu will raise you all in vain."
When Lie Chi heard this, he was a little unhappy. He had a good relationship with Lao Ba, but he didn't expect Lao Ba to speak so mercilessly, and he was a little unhappy at the moment.
"Master Ba, it is precisely because Master Hu treats us well that I tell the truth instead of deceiving you with slanderous words. If I talk nonsense and talk big words, but in the end I cannot deliver, wouldn't I put Master Hu into a passive state? Arrow Wolf Tribe I believe Ba Ye also knows something about their fighting power. When we were at the Tiger Manor, we were deeply troubled by it. Now that they have come out in force, their fighting power alone is at least two or three times that of ours. Not to mention the folk customs of the Arrow Wolf tribe He is fierce and is no different from a mad dog in a fight. Under our current conditions, the chance of winning is really slim. I can't talk sweet words to Mr. Tiger, right? That would be irresponsible to Mr. Tiger."
Lie Chi is very calm.
If you can't beat it, you can't beat it.
Why should we pretend to be wrong and deceive ourselves and others? There is no shame in being unable to defeat the Arrow Wolf tribe. In the past, they were just a small harassing team, which caused Master Hu to suffer a lot. Nowadays, people are rushing out to escape the disaster of ground smoke. It is the time when they are most hungry and eager to occupy a territory for supplies. The fighting power must be the most ferocious and powerful stage. Facing such a hungry and warlike team, the number of people If they are still two or three times more powerful than them, how can we still fight this battle? No matter how I play, I'm afraid I can't escape a single word loss.
Therefore, Lie Chi did not have any inner pressure and seemed very calm when admitting this. Even though he knew that this was not the answer Master Hu was expecting.
Mr. Hu was still a little reluctant. He knew that time was too tight. After taking the castle, he didn't even have time to recruit troops. These people came to visit him, and Master Duo also turned against him.
As for the Arrow Wolf tribe, it is still unknown. Once established, it becomes even more passive.
If the situation is compared to a chess game, the situation that Mr. Hu is facing now is really passive. It is difficult to change the disadvantageous situation no matter how he plays. There is simply no way to break the situation.
If there was no Arrow Wolf tribe, Mr. Hu felt that even if Mr. Duo fell out, they would at least have the capital to fight. He didn't believe that Master Duo could convince the other party to work for him wholeheartedly in such a short period of time. Those people and Duo Ye were probably just using each other.
This is Mr. Hu's intuitive judgment on the relationship between Mr. Duo and that group of people.
Butler Lao Zhu had just defected to Master Hu not long ago. He was not one of Master Hu's old subordinates, so his knowledge of the Arrow Wolf tribe was obviously not very good.
However, this person is cunning and cunning, and he will not express his opinions easily until the situation is clear.
But Master Hu obviously had no intention of letting him go, and moved his eyes to Butler Lao Zhu.
"Lao Zhu, tell me what you think."
Worried about what he was afraid of, Butler Lao Zhu couldn't resist Mr. Tiger's staring eyes, so he had to force himself to calm down and said: "Master Hu, what is the origin of this Arrow Wolf tribe? I have never heard of it before. Judging from everyone's reaction, it seems that this Arrow Wolf tribe The fear of the tribe even exceeds the fear of the Baoshu tribe? Could it be that the Arrow Wolf tribe is more terrifying than the Baoshu tribe?"
As expected of a cunning old man, he answered questions with questions and cleverly avoided the risk of stepping into pitfalls.
This question is difficult to answer.
How is the Arrow Wolf Tribe compared to the Baoshu Tribe? That is naturally far inferior. But the Jianlang tribe's deterrent power against Master Hu and the others is greater than that of Master Duo of the Baoshu tribe.
Because the Arrow Wolf Tribe had beaten Mr. Tiger with real blows, leaving Mr. Tiger with nothing to do and driving him crazy several times.
The Baoshu Tribe is very terrifying, and even the ten Arrow Wolf Tribes cannot match it in overall strength. But the Baoshu Clan has never beaten Master Hu, and what Master Hu currently has to face is Duo Ye, a member of the Baoshu Clan.
Lao Zhu saw everyone hesitating and no one took the initiative to answer his question. He knew that his question might have touched something sensitive.
He immediately said hurriedly: "Since everyone thinks that the Arrow Wolf Tribe is a greater threat, what we should do now is to confirm whether the Arrow Wolf Tribe is indeed a thing? Will it really come here?"
"As far as I know, our castle is located in a hidden place. It is rarely invaded by other forces during normal times, and it has always stayed aloof from the outside world. It makes no sense that all the major forces would infiltrate here in just a few days, right?"
Mr. Hu nodded slightly, overall quite satisfied with Butler Lao Zhu's words.
"Yes, the top priority is to confirm whether the Arrow Wolf tribe is indeed real. What if it's just Duo Ye's mind-attacking technique?" This time, even Lao Ba agreed with Butler Lao Zhu.
Lie Chi also said: "You should check the truth and see it with your own eyes before you can believe it. In this case, you should really be careful of Duoye fabricating things to deliberately scare us and force us to give in."
Mr. Hu thought for a moment and felt that the most urgent task was to find out the reality of the Arrow Wolf tribe.
But he then added: "Master Duo is aggressive and demands that the group of people enter the castle before dawn, without giving any room for maneuver. Tell me, how should I deal with Master Duo?"
It's just possible that the Arrowwolf tribe exists.
And Duoye's threat is imminent. For a person like Mr. Duo, even though he is usually gentle and elegant, he seems to be very concerned about face and thinks he is aloof.
But if he really wants to get ruthless, everyone, including Mr. Hu, will be quite afraid.
"Master Duo is really pushing his limits. Master Hu respects him as a member of the Baoshu clan, and satisfies his excessive demands and gives him half of the benefits. I didn't expect that he would also interfere with military power and the jurisdiction of the castle. His appetite is getting bigger and bigger. It’s not a good thing.”
"Everyone knows it's not a good thing. How should we break the situation now?" Mr. Hu said with a solemn face.
"Master Hu, Master Duo is very strong. Is there really nothing we can do to deal with him? With so many powerful combatants among us, how can we not help Master Duo alone?" Butler Lao Zhu couldn't help but ask.
Master Hu sighed. Master Hu actually knew a thing or two about how strong Mr. Duo was. Duoye's true fighting ability is not necessarily much better than that of Master Hu, or even who is stronger.
But Duoye's unpredictable earthly skills are like ghosts. If the fighting power is equal, there may be a way to defeat him, but it is undoubtedly very difficult to kill the opponent and completely eliminate him.
This is why Master Hu can't make up his mind to fall out with Master Duo.
If he was sure of killing Master Duo, he would not be able to bear it anymore. A dead Baoshu Clan cannot pose much of a threat.
It's nothing more than blaming others for his death. Anyway, some people are taking the blame.
The problem is that he, Mr. Hu, has secretly done many battle deductions, and sadly found that he can't do anything to Mr. Duo.
If he wants to kill Duo Ye, he must first be able to match Duo Ye's ground skills, his difficult-to-prevent spirit vines, and his dazzling fallen leaf clones.
These methods were so confusing and concealing that even if he could defeat Duo Ye head-on, he would not be able to completely eliminate him.
Therefore, Mr. Hu once again set his sights on Lie Chi: "Our team that is good at underground operations also has dozens of people. These people swarmed up. What are the chances of winning against Mr. Duo?"
Lie Chi smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hu, with all due respect, our underground combat team is not professional in itself. Setting up this team is just for emergency response. It is still different from the real underground combat team. And Duo Ye is a treasure The tree tribe is not only professional, but also has outstanding personal strength. Let alone the dozens of people in our area, even if we double the number, I'm afraid it won't be enough. It's not that we can't beat them, we can beat them if we really want to surround them. The difficulty is, Maybe we can’t pinpoint their location at all, and we simply don’t have the ability to get close to them.”
Butler Lao Zhu asked: "Is there no way to approach him quietly and then surround him in one fell swoop?"
"First of all, you can't get close to him. He found you before you found him. How do you get close? And dozens of people approaching him at the same time are making too much noise. It is impossible to hide it from an expert of this level. Chapter 1 Second, even if the encirclement is successful in one fell swoop, he can still get out of trouble again by relying on his own abilities. We do not have the ability to kill each other at once."
Lie Chi is also quite outspoken, which is part of his loyal character.
But these honest and mature words sound like the excuses of an incompetent person to others.
"Your Excellency Lie Chi, according to what you said, dozens of people can't do anything to one person. Aren't we just letting others manipulate us? What else is there to talk about?"
Lie Chi's expression remained unchanged: "I just stated the situation truthfully. As for how to talk to Mr. Duo, this is a matter of collective wisdom and cannot be decided by me alone."
Obviously, Lie Chi doesn't want to take the blame. He also didn't think that the troops raised by Mr. Hu were qualified to provoke the Baoshu tribe.
I shouldn't have offended and alienated others in the first place.
Everything that happens now is just Duoye's revenge. And these could have been avoided. Master Hu's anger was completely aroused by Master Hu.
Of course, it is not convenient for Lie Chi to say these words directly.
Master Hu was in a disturbed mood, and naturally he was extremely dissatisfied with Lie Chi's answers. I always felt that Lie Chi was not completely standing in his Lord Hu's position.
But if you look carefully at the faults, you can't seem to find any major faults.
Lie Chi always tells the truth without any subjective emotions. Isn't this the quality a qualified commander should have?
What do you blame them for? Accusing him of not showing the courage to accept death? Not showing any determination to fight to the death for him?
A similar statement is suitable for the little soldiers below. A commander should always remain calm and not get ahead of himself. This is a valuable quality. It's hard to blame him for that.
Butler Lao Zhu said: "Master Hu, we can't do anything to Master Duo, but it doesn't mean that the castle cannot be defended. Master Duo is difficult to deal with, but we have the support of the castle. It will not be easy for hundreds of people to break through the castle. Could it be that Mr. Duo can't be defended?" Are you willing to use all your strength to fight us? Even if he can win, both sides will lose, what will they do to resist the Arrow Wolf Tribe in the end? Unless he made up the Arrow Wolf Tribe, Duo Ye will never be willing to fight to the death with us. Fighting."
The so-called bystander is clear.
Butler Lao Zhu has always analyzed the situation from the perspective of a bystander, and is obviously more thoughtful than people like Master Hu who worry about gains and losses.
Mr. Hu's eyes lit up and he thought about it carefully. Mr. Duo's words were indeed suspected of bluffing.
Even if those people took refuge with him, Master Duo, was he really willing to fight to the death? It wouldn't be of any benefit to Duoye if he ran out of manpower, right?
If he was really willing to kill all those men and horses, it would prove that the Arrow Wolf tribe was probably made up by Lord Duo to scare him, Lord Tiger.
Master Hu felt a little annoyed when he thought of this, feeling ashamed of being manipulated by Mr. Duo.
After all, I was still too afraid of Master Duo, so why did he make me uneasy after just one word from him?
Perhaps, this was a psychological war from beginning to end, and Duoye's intention was to crush him psychologically and force him to compromise.
Even if you want to compromise, you have to fight before compromising, right? He was intimidated by Master Duo and took the initiative to let people in without even being beaten. Isn't that making a joke?
Once Mr. Duo feels that Mr. Tiger can control him at will, Mr. Duo will definitely push harder and harder in the future, eventually leaving him with no way to retreat and no way out.
"We must not give in so easily." Mr. Hu finally came to a conclusion and said fiercely, "Even if those people are really subdued by Mr. Duo, this battle must be fought. If we don't fight, we will have no way out."
If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.
Mr. Hu himself is a ruthless person, but he was suppressed by Mr. Duo just now.
Now that his thoughts are clear, his blood has been stimulated, and his domineering attitude has returned, it is obviously impossible for him to surrender without a fight.
Even if I have to accept Duoye's unfair demands in the end, I still have to fight this battle!
