While Chu Xuan was thinking of ways to pull Yu Zai and the others into his own camp, the inner ghost began to observe silently from a distance again.
He felt that this group of people was really strange and annoying. On the other hand, there was the captain carrying strange weapons, the cheap archery brother, two strong old men with white beards, and a nine-headed tiger with an oracle bone. And a bull monster carrying a stick...
There are also two strange chickens, and a strange girl with small animal horns on her head who keeps making whining sounds. After looking around, the only normal person is the person named Liaozi.
The weirder the character setting, the more difficult the person is to mess with.
When you first get into the trap - equipped with original skins and novice weapons, Liezi and Shaoyu.
When you have a certain understanding of combat - Hongchao buying high-end weapons for the first time.
When you are at full level - two fit old men dressed in standard Qi Refiner green and red robes.
When you have become a boss and have your own unique aesthetic - holding a Gatling head with a chick on his head.
The specific manifestation is that the painting style is completely unsociable.
Ke first judged that the 绠绡子 was the weakest among the group, the two strange beasts and the leader with weapons were the hardest to mess with, the archer was second only to the first echelon, and then the two old men were the third. Echelon, ending with the little girl.
Especially these two old men. Although they are very well-dressed, it is obvious that the leader is the young man carrying the strange weapon. He cannot understand the Central Plains dialect, so he cannot understand the word "master", and He was far away, and many of his sounds were vague.
After a while, it seemed that the agreement was settled. Chu Xuan came over and told these people that it was the people in Juan Zai who had agreed to help them, the escaped slaves, to raid the warehouses of Wu Min. Many of the escaped slaves were a little excited. After all, Juan Zai The output on the river was really scary before.
With such strong support, Cangwu people are not their opponents, but the escaped slaves are not stupid. If the other party wants to help, there must be a price here. Nothing in the world is good without reason.
Then, among the escaped slaves, a man named "Fang" spoke up. He was Chu Xun's confidant and one of the three escaped slave leaders second only to Chu Xun in the forest.
Fang means a kind of good wood in ancient times. This kind of wood is very popular among people from the Pre-Qin Dynasty and the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Because this kind of wood is strong and can be used to make various wooden utensils and is not easily damaged, even the large wooden piles used to build embankments in the Central Plains. , the beams in Liangzhu City were also made of this kind of wood. Of course, this kind of wood was also the "useful wood" that Zhuangzi despised.
It is the most useful kind, and the leader of the escaped slaves, like his name, is from the Jin tribe. He used to be a carpenter for a big master among the Cangwu people, and he is very clever and handy.
The leader of his master is the big leader Cui Yu, so his status among the slaves is actually very high.
But he doesn't want to be a slave, he wants to be a human being.
Chu Fang told Chu Xuan that some people feel sorry for the slave, not because they are soft-hearted, but because they are afraid that if the slave dies, no one will help him work.
The close attitude between Chu Fang and Chu He caught Kao's eye, and Kao recognized it. This carpenter slave was the original slave of the war leader "Xi". He escaped two years ago and disappeared without a trace. Unexpectedly, he was in this forest. Among them, he got to the top.
The slaves gathered here also had different ideas. Chu Fang wanted to continuously rescue slaves. He never thought about how to liberate all three tribes: Gan, Xi, and Pai, because that was obviously unrealistic.
It is possible to save some people, as long as they yearn for freedom. People in this era, especially people in the wilderness, do not understand the political system and social conditions. Slavery is the highest level they can come into contact with, and it is also the most important thing in the world. Some of the best methods of rule one can imagine.
"Some people have been freed, but they have nothing, so in the eyes of most people, there is no point in being freed. When they are slaves, they have food and drink, and don't have to worry about getting sick and dying, because the people of Cangwu need them. If Without them, where will Cangwu people find new strong and obedient slaves?"
"Being a slave means you have everything, but not being a slave means nothing. All you have to do is humble yourself and fight with the priest. Although you may pay the price with your life, the probability is not high, right?"
Chu Xuan showed a ferocious smile to Chu Fang:
"I've told you several times, you have to listen to me here, and I am only responsible for killing Cangwu people, and the rescue is just a matter of convenience. If you want to rescue more people, it depends on your own ability. It’s not mine, I have my plans.”
"I am a madman, please remember."
Chu Fang chuckled:
"Of course I know. I followed you and never thought of living to the end. Of course, it would be best if I could live."
Among the slaves here, some want to take revenge and kill the slave owners, some just want to rescue and fly away, and some are not determined and think that as long as they occupy a hilltop, they may be able to slowly develop and form a balance with the other party. ....
They want the qualifications for equal dialogue, but Chu Xuan also scolded these people and told them that the reason slave owners are slave owners is because they never put you on an equal footing with them.
"The people of Hongzhou are very powerful. You have also seen that whether it is their weapons or their own force, they are very strong. As for my so-called senior brother, I don't care whether he is my senior brother or not. As long as he Help me kill Cang Wumin, then he is my biological brother, let alone my senior brother."
"Let me tell you what we just talked about..."
.......
The group of people on Ruzai's side also sat down and discussed what Chu Xuan had just talked to them.
Yu Zai said that fighting is all about surprise. As long as the opponent cannot predict where I will appear, then even if he inserts a ward, it will be of no use.
"You actually want to hire them and take them to Hongzhou? Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
Chisongzi expressed his surprise. The previous request from Yanzai was that he would help these people get revenge. After the revenge was over, they could be given a piece of land where they would not have to be slaves, and they would be able to stand up from then on. But the job was naturally to work for Hongzhou.
What Chu Yan told Yu Zai was that he was only responsible for killing people and not talking about politics. He was not the master of these escaped slaves. They could go wherever they wanted. After the revenge was over, they would die in the wilderness or become slaves again. It has nothing to do with me, I just use them, and they are willing to be used by me.
They were all willing to take what they needed. The escaped slaves had to rely on his skills and tactics, and he gave them a hope of escape.
If Yu Zai can really make those slaves follow him, then it is Yu Zai's own ability. This matter is about your own will.
Of course, Chu Xuan easily agreed to Yuan Zai's request, which was to let him work with Yuan Zai for a few years. He didn't care about this. Anyway, all the people in his tribe were dead and he could go anywhere.
As long as you can help me get revenge and have enough money, don't let me be your person, but don't treat me like a person tonight!
Just a dirty PY deal.
Yu Zai just thought that he had recruited a master of archery, but he had no idea that what he had recruited was actually a master of weapons.
But Akamatsuko thinks this is not advisable.
"What do you want the slaves to do if you take them back? These runaway slaves are very violent. If you rescue them, they will not be grateful to you. They will even think that Hongzhou is a new place to oppress them. They Maybe there will be riots, maybe they will destroy the farming equipment... In the mountains and fields, in fact, many of the tribes that robbed the Tao are gathered by this kind of escaped slaves. You have also seen that kind of refugees. When you We even went to encircle and suppress them.”
Akamatsuko feels that these people are unstable factors. Those who wait for others to passively save them are good people, and those who take the initiative to kill people and run away are murderers. There are various systems in this era, and slavery is one of them. There is no such thing. What is unacceptable.
But Yuzai said something unrelated.
"In the seventy-first year of Emperor Taotang, I made an oath to many tribes in Hongzhou that in ten years, I will not think about Du Guang, no matter Lingshan. Now it is the seventy-fifth year of Emperor Taotang, and it is already the fourth year, according to the plan that year, the middle three years will be 'dry', during which development will slow down to cope with the coming flood period."
"It's about to start from now on. Master, these escaped slaves are indeed different from the people of Hongzhou. They may be a little chaotic and disorderly, but also a little crazy. They have been oppressed for too long and have developed some seemingly distorted mental activities and behaviors. External behavior, but in fact... I want them because they are abnormal. If they were normal, I wouldn't want them!"
