I have a volume of demons

Chapter 647 The Choice of Da Yuezhi
When the emperor goes out to fight, he has his own guard of honor.

Unlike the quick battle against Dongyi, Lin Yi put up a full battle this time.

Out of humanitarian spirit, he gave the survivors of the Great Yue Clan a chance.

As a king, you must consider the national interest.

But as a human being, Ji Dong didn't want to be a cruel aggressor.

As for the hidden danger of not eradicating the roots, there is nothing to worry about.

It is too difficult for a remnant tribe with only a few hundred people to develop.

The final result must be to merge into other tribes, or to be extinct under the banner of the Great Yuezhi.

If such a small tribe can rise up and pose a threat to the big merchants in the future, then it is really destiny.

Among the mountains in the northeast, the sky is getting cooler and the autumn wind is picking up.

Jiang Linglong looked at the sky from a distance, and the dark clouds were getting thicker, which brought her a deep sense of suffocation.

Trapped in the mountains for several months, continuing to fight against the soldiers of the big merchants, the morale of the children of the clan is getting higher and higher, but Jiang Linglong is getting more and more desperate.

Enemies are almost endless, but the people of the Dayue Clan have only a few.

At first there were [-] warriors capable of fighting, but now, there are less than [-].

She has a very powerful commanding ability and the ability to fight in the mountains and forests, but the lack of troops is an absolute flaw.

And after using one's own methods once, the enemy will be careful to guard against them, and the same tricks will have less and less effect.

For the 1000 people who annihilated Li Hu's son for the first time, the Da Yue Clan suffered almost zero losses in the battle, but there were already casualties in the second battle, and although they still won the third battle, it was also tragic.

The continuous battle cast a shadow over the minds of the Da Yue clan.

However, the staunch Dayue clan members had no intention of surrendering.

They were just sad. Jiang Linglong had heard many times that they prayed for the blessings of the gods, and Jiang Linglong believed in herself even more.

If praying to gods is really useful, then Dashang will also have the protection of gods.

There are many of them, and there must be more protection from the gods.

Now that the war has progressed, Jiang Linglong has recognized the reality.

Da Yueshi is sure to lose.

However, they wiped out three waves of enemy attacks and killed nearly [-] enemies, which can be regarded as a bad breath.

Now, it was time for her, the princess, to make a decision on what to do.

"Princess, there is a new battle report!"

A girl in a grass skirt came in a hurry, stepping on a branch and swinging vines.

She is Ye Xiao, the most agile girl in the clan, Jiang Linglong sent her to find out about the military situation.

Now that Ye Xiao is in a hurry, there will definitely be no good news to come.

"Princess, the latest news is that the King of Shang personally conquered the Dongyi tribe. The entire Dongyi tribe was beheaded by the tyrant, and blood flowed like rivers."

This battle report sounds bloody and terrifying. That king of Shang must be a tyrannical and cruel person.

"The tyrant personally ordered an army of [-] to pacify our clan, and within ten days at most, he would be able to come down the mountain."

When Ye Xiao told the news, Jiang Linglong felt a burst of despair.

In fact, in the mountains and forests, the number advantage is not very big.

In the mountains and forests, there are various dangers hidden.

She was able to win three battles by using the terrain and mechanisms.

What really made Jiang Linglong despair was the constant flow of troops from the opponent, two thousand after one thousand, five thousand after two thousand, five thousand after five thousand, and now fifty thousand directly.

If she can kill the [-], how much more can the other party come?
Not to mention, she couldn't destroy the other party's [-].

"The enemy is coming fiercely. This time, we can't win."

Jiang Linglong said helplessly.

Ye Xiao didn't speak, but just listened quietly.

Jiang Linglong led them to three battles, and now they are very prestigious in Da Yuezhi.

Everyone listens to what she says.

And Jiang Linglong thought for a moment, and suddenly discovered a detail in the information.

When the Dongyi Rebellion started, she knew very well.

Because it was Dongyi who she sent someone to contact, instigated the war, diverted the attention of the big merchant, and won a chance for herself.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Dongyi was pacified.

The king of Shang personally marched, and Dongyi basically had no ability to resist in front of the Shang army.

Dongyi is farther away from Dashang than Da Yuezhi.

Why did Dongyi settle down so quickly, but it took ten days for King Shang to reach the foot of the mountain?

What's more, Dongyi's territory is also relatively close to the Dayue Clan. If the king of Shang wiped out Dongyi and came along the way to wipe out the Dayue Clan, he would be there in less than three days.

Jiang Linglong asked the doubts in her heart, and Ye Xiao explained: "The news is not wrong, I got it from the local population in disguise.

King Shang's guard of honor has already arranged an itinerary, and when and where to go is all pre-booked. "

When Jiang Linglong heard this, she felt that something was wrong.

If she was going to go on an expedition, she would definitely not make such a big fanfare and explain her itinerary clearly.

Unless King Shang is a fool.

Jiang Linglong felt that the other party must not be a fool, so there must be another reason for this abnormal situation.

"This may be a tactic of suspicious soldiers. On the surface, the guards of honor are arranged to walk slowly, but in fact they send troops to attack by surprise."

"Is the merchant so treacherous?"

After listening to Jiang Linglong's analysis, Ye Xiao also became nervous.

"Don't underestimate anyone!"

Jiang Linglong said seriously: "Gather the clansmen and prepare to make the final decision!"

Jiang Linglong didn't know that Lin Yi had no other conspiracy, he was just delaying time.

When he made this decision, he actually knew the answer in his heart.

Maybe, he also likes Lingyi a little bit.

When did it start?
Maybe it started from seeing the light in her eyes!
However, Ji Dong actually suspected that he was using her as someone's substitute.

Because Lingyi is so similar to her former self.

But no matter whether he empathized with another or used Lingyi as a stand-in, he actually hoped that Lingyi could find a way to combine man and god.

This kind of thinking is actually a bit selfish. You don't need to think about it to know it. If you want to combine humans and gods, you are doomed to have a bumpy road.

For her own good, she should stop thinking about it.

But in life, who can be selfish?
Ji Dong didn't want the other party to work hard alone, but wanted to confirm that the other party would work hard with him.

He just didn't think that because of some personal reasons of his own, Jiang Linglong of the Great Yue Clan would make him a sinister and cunning person.

At present, Da Yueshi is having a meeting to discuss how to go next.

In fact, there are only two choices, die in battle, or flee.

To Jiang Linglong's surprise, most of the tribe would rather die in battle than flee.

The reason they are unwilling to leave is because of the teachings of their ancestors.

This is the land favored by the Moon God, Da Yueshi is a believer of the Moon God, they cannot leave here, otherwise they will be punished by God.

These words were said by the priestess of the Da Yue Clan.

The clansmen who leave here will be punished by God.

Jiang Linglong scoffed at this.

They are almost dead, and they are afraid of God's punishment.

"The God of the Moon has given up on us. Staying here will only lead to death. We have a glimmer of life if we climb over this mountain."

Jiang Linglong had already thought of a countermeasure.

Although Da Yueshi is not a businessman, he has the same appearance as a businessman.

Putting on the clothes of a merchant, no one can tell the difference between them and a merchant.

Just climb over the mountain, sneak into the merchant's territory, dress up as a merchant, and they can survive.

Jiang Linglong didn't believe in the God of the Moon at all. If the Moon God was really useful, Da Yueshi would not be in such a predicament.

If you still don't want to leave at this time, the Da Yue Clan will be wiped out.

"If there is really a curse from the gods, let it come at me!
Everyone must survive to have the hope of revenge. "

Jiang Linglong already had enough prestige in the Great Yue Clan, even a witch could not go against her will.

What's more, the people who are alive now are all young people from the tribe. They have never seen a god, but they regard Jiang Linglong as a god.

Naturally, they did what Jiang Linglong said.

Thus, Da Yueshi started his journey across the mountains.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the businessman, Jiang Linglong divided all the clansmen into dozens of teams.

Each team consisted of three to five people, and they scattered to various towns in Dashang.

On the other hand, Jiang Linglong led 20 people and continued to fight against King Shang's team to cover up the traces of other clansmen fleeing.

Da Yuezhi originally had few people, and now there are even fewer people left.

20 people against 5 people, only Jiang Linglong dared to think about this kind of battle.

And it was precisely because Jiang Linglong always put herself in the most dangerous place that she was respected by so many people.

Among the mountains, Jiang Linglong watched the clansmen leave in different directions, and she didn't look away until their backs were no longer visible.

There was one thing she missed just now, and that was the signal to communicate with each other.

This is what she left out on purpose.

She knew in her heart that with the power of Da Yuezhi, it was impossible to pose too much threat to Da Shang.

Continuing to fight will only increase casualties in vain.

The people of the Dayue Clan are so stubborn that surrender is impossible.

From Jiang Linglong's point of view, they were not against the great merchant, but against Li Hu's son, or even the King of Shang.

With such a small number of clansmen, they killed eight thousand great merchants, which can be regarded as revenge.

That being the case, other clansmen should stop living in hatred.

After going down the mountain, living as a businessman and living a good life is the best choice for the clansmen.

However, no matter who said the words of giving up the war, there was no way for all the clansmen to accept it psychologically.

Therefore, Jiang Linglong could only be the villain herself.

She let all the tribesmen pretend to be merchants to live, and they can only respond when they are summoned by her, but they did not leave the method of summoning.

Moreover, Jiang Linglong also understood that other clansmen could run away, but she could not.

The businessman will not stop until he kills her, and under investigation, other clan members may be exposed.

So she had to die, and had to choose some other clansmen to die with.

It's a pity that she didn't dare to let others know about all these plans, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

This time, she deceived too many people.

Especially the ones who stayed and fought side by side with her.

"Let's prepare well, ten days later, we will face King Shang!"

"Yes!"

Time flies, ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Lin Yi led [-] infantry soldiers to the foot of the mountain slowly.

That's right, the so-called [-] army actually only brought [-].

Lin Yi is not stupid, the opponent has less than [-] troops, isn't it purely stupid to bring [-] troops?

Moreover, the opponent is good at fighting in the mountains and forests, so it is inconvenient to bring too many people.

The more troops, the greater the consumption. At present, the treasury of the big merchants is full, but it is not wasted.

If there were no courtiers to dissuade him, Lin Yi even felt that five hundred elite soldiers would be enough.

The Da Yue Clan didn't have many people at the beginning, and after a few fights, they must have suffered battle damage.

Take 500 people to fight, and they all have an advantage in strength.

In order to highlight the scene, Lin Yi announced that it was an army of [-].

After all, he is the king of the great merchants, and there are too few people brought by Yujia himself, and he loses face.

In this era, Ji Dong is the first sixth child who has not lied about his military strength.

5000 people arrived at the foot of the mountain, and there are already people here to meet them.

This is Li Hu's younger brother, Li He. According to the current inheritance system, the father dies and the son succeeds.

Both Li Hu and his son died in the mountains, so Li He has the right to inherit this line.

That's why Lin Yi led his own army from the capital to fight even though there were soldiers and horses available here.

The troops here have not yet been fully controlled by him.

Li He was very respectful in front of Ji Dong, which also made Lin Yi secretly think it was a pity.

This little brother is too sensible, and Ji Dong couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make things difficult for him.

With Li Hu dead, Ji Dong can clearly intervene in Dongfang's affairs, so naturally he won't let this Li He get in the way.

What's more, Li Hu was considered someone he secretly controlled, but Li He was not.

Instead of wasting time and buying him again, it is better to solve it directly, once and for all.

Li He was completely unaware of Lin Yi's malice towards him, and he was still introducing Li Hu's situation to Lin Yi with a sad face.

It could be seen that he was trying very hard to restrain himself from laughing.

"Your Majesty, the Da Yue Clan disrespected the King, and my elder brother launched an army crusade, and never thought of breaking the halberd here. Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for my elder brother!"

When Lin Yi heard this, he sneered in his heart.

This Li Hu was indeed his man, but the crusade against the Dayue Clan was all for selfish reasons.

On the surface it was for the sake of the king, but in fact it was just to curry favor.

And Li He didn't want to seek justice for Li Hu, but just wanted to get some benefits from him.

Lin Yi didn't tell the truth when he saw it through. He didn't follow Li He's words, but said regretfully: "Li Qing is indeed a pity. If he had told the widow about what happened here earlier, such a tragedy might not have happened."

Li He was suddenly covered in cold sweat.

Seeing that Ji Dong was young, he thought it was a fool.

Unexpectedly, the young king's flirtatious words turned his elder brother from a hero to a sinner.

Privately deploying troops and concealing military information are capital crimes of copying one's family and exterminating one's family.

Li He didn't dare to use Li Hu for his own benefit anymore, so he quickly separated the relationship: "My lord Shengming, brother was really confused for a moment, and he did such a wrong thing, which caused harm to his family and made the king go out to fight in person. .

The minister is really ashamed. "

Lin Yi said with a blank face, "Siren has passed away, regardless of the past, as Li Qing's younger brother, while inheriting his title, you must also inherit his loyalty. mistake."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your instructions."

Li He was very pleasantly surprised. What Lin Yi meant was that this matter had passed.

Little did they know, Ji Dong felt that he was ready to die.

He can't trust this kind of person who can even use his own brother and betray him at any time.

Before killing a person, let him relax his vigilance.

Next, the two chatted happily.

After listening to the combat intelligence reported by Li He, Lin Yi also learned a little more about the Da Yuezhi on the mountain.

These people were staunch, and none of them surrendered.

It's not that Li Hu has never caught the members of the Dayue Clan and asked them to help lead the way, but even if the members of the Dayue Clan were tortured, they never betrayed the interests of the Dayue Clan until their death.

Listening to this, Ji Dong felt very uncomfortable.

I feel like I'm the villain.

Of course, Ji Dong will not be kind to the enemy.

What is merciful is only the heart, the sword in his hand is not merciful.

After learning about Da Yuezhi's combat methods, Ji Dong quickly thought of a countermeasure.

"The enemy is already at the end of its strength, and five hundred soldiers can defeat it."

Lin Yi made a conclusion, and Li He quickly advised him: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the enemy. They are good at setting traps and using hidden weapons and poisons. They are hard to defend against!"

Li He said this for Ji Dong and himself.

If Ji Dong underestimated the enemy and died in the mountains, the fun would be great, and his Li family would definitely be implicated.

If Ji Dong really defeated the enemy with 500 people, it would be even more embarrassing.

You know, the Li clan used 8000 people and lost all three battles.

With such a comparison, doesn't it seem that the Li family are all trash?
Only when the enemy is said to be more serious, their failure will not appear so embarrassing.

But Lin Yi has made up his mind, so why listen to his advice.

"In the minds of the widows, there is a conclusion. They are good at hidden weapon traps, and we can send a team of [-] people into the mountain.

With these hundred people clearing the way and leaving behind the signal, the rest follow a safe path deep into the jungle, and the damage their hidden weapons can cause is limited. "

According to Li He, in the battle where Li Hu led 5000 people, the opponent also dragged the team into the deep mountains and nibbled away a little bit before finally winning.

Ji Dong also couldn't figure out how he lost. Isn't this easy to solve?
The Death Squad in front of the Hundreds, first crack all the enemy's traps, it doesn't matter if a few people die.

The next team followed the first team, breaking up the large army into many small teams, how could they lose?
It doesn't matter if you don't have experience for the first time, but if you lose after three consecutive times, that's the hell.

Ji Dong didn't understand, but Ji Dong was greatly shocked.

Lin Yi insisted on such an arrangement, and Li He was also helpless.

And Ji Dong even handed over the command of the advance troops to him.

In other words, Li He became the captain of the Hundred Death Squad.

That's right, Ji Dong let him die.

After such a long time, he wants to conquer the news of the Da Yue Clan. Even though the Da Yue Clan is in the mountains, he should have found out the news.

They will definitely be ready to deal with it. There should be traps everywhere on the mountain now.

Those who went up in the first wave all died.

Of course, Ji Dong would not choose his own soldiers, but let Li He choose his people.

Seeing Li He tremblingly leading the team up the mountain, Lin Yi didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.

He just felt that he had really changed. Although he used to plot against others, he rarely plotted against others to death.

Now his mentality seems to be a little different.

I don't know if this change is good or bad...
