Chapter 642 Dayuezhis choice(1/3)
When an emperor goes to war, he has his own ceremonial guard.
Different from the quick victory in the conquest of Dongyi, Lin Yi prepared his battles this time.
Out of his humanitarian spirit, he gave the survivors of Dayuezhi a glimmer of hope.
As a king, you must consider the interests of the country.
But as a human being, Lin Yi does not want to be a cruel aggressor.
As for the hidden dangers of cutting the grass without eradicating the root, 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 integrate into other tribes, or to be extinct under the banner of the Da Yueshi.
If such small tribes can rise and pose a threat to large merchants in the future, then it will be a blessing from destiny.
Among the mountains in the northeast, the weather is getting colder and the autumn wind is blowing hard.
Jiang Linglong looked at the sky, and the dark clouds were getting thicker, giving her a deep sense of suffocation.
After being trapped in the mountains for several months and continuing to fight against the soldiers of the Great Shang, the morale of the clan members became higher and higher, but Jiang Linglong became more and more desperate.
There is an almost endless supply of enemies, but there are only so many members of the Dayue clan.
In the beginning, there were three hundred capable warriors, but now, there are less than a hundred.
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.
After you have used your own methods once, the enemy will be more careful, and the same tricks will have less and less effect.
The Da Yuezhi suffered almost zero losses in the first battle when they annihilated the thousand men of Li Hu's son, but in the second battle, there were already casualties. Although the third battle was still won, it was also tragic.
The continuous battles cast a shadow over the hearts of the Dayue clan.
However, the stubborn Dayue clan people had no intention of surrendering.
They were just sad. Jiang Linglong had heard them praying for God's favor many times, and Jiang Linglong believed in herself even more.
If praying to gods is really useful, then Dashang will also be protected by gods.
The more people they have, the more divine protection they can get.
The war has progressed to this point, and Jiang Linglong has come to understand the reality.
Da Yuezhi will definitely lose.
However, they wiped out three waves of enemy attacks and killed nearly 8,000 enemies, which was a relief.
Now, it was time for her, the princess, to make a decision as to what course to take.
"Princess, there is a new battle report!"
A girl in a turf skirt hurried over, stepping on branches and swinging vines.
She is Night Owl, the most agile girl in the clan. Jiang Linglong sent her to inquire about military affairs.
Now that the night owl 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 and wiped out the Dongyi tribe. The entire Dongyi tribe was killed by the tyrant, and blood flowed like a river."
This battle report sounds bloody and terrifying. That Shang King must be a violent and cruel person.
"The tyrant personally ordered an army of 50,000 people to come and pacify our clan. It will take at most ten days for the troops to arrive at the foot of the mountain."
When Ye Xiao told this news, Jiang Linglong felt a sense of despair in her heart.
In fact, in the mountains and forests, the numerical advantage is not very great.
There are all kinds of dangers hidden in the mountains and forests.
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 other side. They killed one thousand to two thousand, two thousand to five thousand, five thousand, and now fifty thousand.
If she can kill these 50,000, how many more can the other party come with?
Not to mention, she couldn't destroy the opponent's fifty thousand.
"The enemy is coming fiercely. This time, we can't win."
Jiang Linglong said helplessly.
Ye Xiao didn't speak, just listened quietly.
Jiang Linglong led them to three battles and is now very prestigious in the Dayue clan.
Everyone will listen to whatever she says.
Jiang Linglong thought for a moment and suddenly discovered a detail in the information.
She knew very well when the Dongyi Rebellion started.
Because it was Dongyi whom she sent to contact, to instigate a war, divert the attention of Dashang, and give herself a chance.
Unexpectedly, Dongyi was pacified in just a few days.
The King of Shang personally conscripted the army, and Dongyi basically had no ability to resist in front of the Shang army.
The Dongyi people are further away from the Great Shang than the Dayue clan.
Why was Dongyi pacified so quickly, but it still took ten days for King Shang to reach the foot of the mountain?
Moreover, Dongyi's territory is relatively close to the Dayue clan. If King Shang wiped out Dongyi and came to wipe out the Dayue clan, it would take no more than three days to arrive.
Jiang Linglong asked the doubts in her heart, and Ye Xiao then explained: "The information cannot be wrong, I disguised myself and got it from the locals.
The Shang King's ceremonial guard has already arranged its itinerary, and it is all scheduled when and where it will go."
When Jiang Linglong heard this, she felt something was wrong even more.
If she were to go on an expedition, she would definitely not make such a big fuss and explain her itinerary clearly.
Unless King Shang is a fool.
Jiang Linglong felt that the other party was definitely not a fool, so there must be another reason for this abnormal situation.
"This may be a trick of suspicion. On the surface, the guard of honor is arranged to move slowly, but in fact, troops are sent to attack by surprise."
"Are businessmen so treacherous?"
Ye Xiao also became nervous after hearing Jiang Linglong's analysis.
"Don't underestimate anyone!"
Jiang Linglong said seriously: "Gather the clan members together and prepare to make the final decision!"
Jiang Linglong didn't know that Ji Yi had no other plans and was just stalling for 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 Yi actually suspected that he was treating her as someone's substitute.
Because Lingyi looks so much like her before.
But regardless of whether he was in another relationship or regarded Lingyi as a substitute, he actually hoped in his heart that Lingyi could find a way to combine humans and gods.
This kind of thinking is actually a bit selfish. You don’t need to think about it to know that if you want to combine humans and gods, you are destined to have a bumpy journey.
For her own good, she should give up her thoughts.
But in this world, who can be without some selfishness?
Ji Yi didn't want to let the other party work hard alone, but wanted to confirm that the other party would work hard with him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He just would not have thought that due to some personal reasons of his own, Jiang Linglong of the Da Yuezhi would conjure him up to be a sinister and cunning person.
Currently, Da Yuezhi is having a meeting to discuss the next step.
There are really only two choices, die in battle or flee.
What surprised Jiang Linglong was that most of the tribesmen would rather die in battle than flee.
The reason why they are unwilling to leave is because of their ancestral teachings.
This is the land favored by the Moon God. Da Yueshi are believers of the Moon God. They cannot leave here, otherwise they will be punished by God.
This was said by the witch of Da Yuezhi.
Tribesmen who leave here will be punished by God.
Jiang Linglong sneered at this.
He is almost dead, so why should he be afraid of divine punishment?
"The God of the Moon has given up on us. If we stay here, we will only die. After climbing over this mountain, we still have a glimmer of hope."
Jiang Linglong has actually thought of a countermeasure.
