Chapter 243 The conditions that cannot be refused, escape from death
Where is Pinggu?
It is the old nest of Zhaoyang Camp!
This place name is inside Longyou. Except for the twelve camps, there are very few people who know it, but Qiu Peng knows it.
This is undoubtedly another proof that Daxia knows much more about Longyou than they imagined.
Daxia sent two special envoys.
One is Qiu Peng, who comes to find them.
And the other one, went to Pinggu.
What else can I do when I go to Pinggu? Of course, I am looking for Zhaoyang camp.
If you dare to kill him, Daxia will definitely stand with Zhaoyang and rebel against Longshan.
How could the eight people present not hear the subtext in Qiu Peng's words?
If it is just a single camp, to be honest, the strength shown by Daxia is not enough to make Longshan afraid.
But the problem is that Qiu Peng had just said that both Beehive and Wushuang had signed an alliance with Daxia, and the two families will be mainly Daxia in the future.
In other words, Daxia can already represent three giant camps.
The three families turned to Hou Hu at the same time, and then Longshan would be much more troubles!
So the seven people who were about to attack Qiu Peng just now stopped.
"Daxia is a guest from afar. What are you doing? Sit down!"
Fortunately, Li Xuanling above gave him a step at the right time.
The seven people either snorted coldly or looked unwilling, but they all sat back.
"So you Daxia want to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"
Li Xuanling's words hit the vital point made Qiu Peng's expression slightly change.
Daxia sent two special envoys, one looking for Longshan and the other looking for Zhaoyang. The intention of sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight was very obvious, and it was not surprising that Li Xuanling could see it.
The real reason why Qiu Peng was frightened was that when Li Xuanling said this, his tone was very threatening, which immediately reminded him of the conversation he had with Xia Chuan just before leaving Wu Shuang.
…………
"Sir, at this time, we took the initiative to find the people from Longshan and said that we would not interfere in the Longyou dispute. Isn't it a bit like not to tell oneself?"
"Of course, I will send you and Zhao Long, one to look for Longshan and the other to look for Zhaoyang. Even a fool can see our intention of watching the tiger fight in the mountains, and no one will believe it!"
"Then what is the meaning of Zhao Long and I going to the two families?"
"Adhere to their hearts, at least let them know first that we have not cooperated with another one. We now hold the Wushuang honeycomb. It is considered to be three giant camps. We already have the ability to affect the current balance of Longyou. What attitude will Longshan and Zhaoyang take towards us under this situation?"
"If you win over, you will be appeased and you will not get along with evil."
"There is a high probability, but it is not entirely true. Longyou has strong xenophobic attributes. As an external force, Daxia can easily become the target of public criticism. What's more, we won the two families of the Beehive Wushuang, Longshan and Zhaoyang with the thunder. If we are smarter and know the situation, we will definitely be extremely afraid of our Daxia.
If the attitudes of the two companies are the same, then the unlucky one is us! ”
Fisherman is not that easy to be a fisherman. As an external force, as a foreign force, once Daxia arouses the fear of both companies at the same time, the greater possibility is that the two companies will first take Daxia.
Of course Qiu Peng understood such a simple truth.
So his face also changed. After thinking for a moment, he had some speculations about Xia Chuan's true intention of letting him and Zhao Long go on mission.
"My lord means, let Zhao Long and I test, and test Zhaoyang and Longshan's attitude towards Daxia. If we are both afraid, we must change our strategy and do our best to make Daxia the common goal of the two families?"
"It's just that you, Zhao Long, are different. I thought that Zhaoyang was the dominant one at the moment, but judging from the fact that the Longshan army was stationed here last night until now, the Zhaoyang families have not made any moves. This idea is obviously wrong.
Since Zhaoyang is at a disadvantage, then our three families are life-saving straws for him. Therefore, he must rely on it and win over it. Therefore, Zhao Long's mission will inevitably be regarded as a guest of honor by Zhaoyang, which is much easier than you! ”
With Peng Bo and Chen Yingyuan in the past, and with personal participation, Xia Chuan already has a clear control over the situation in Longyou, which is also the biggest basis for him to follow up and step by step.
"Take a step back, Zhaoyang is in the north, and it is still far from us. Even if he is temporarily afraid of Daxia, he will not pose a threat to us. But the army of Longshan stationed north of Wushuang is different. So the mission you are going to this time is to inquire about the strength of that army, and secondly, to test Longshan's attitude, and to do it according to their strength and attitude..."
……………………
As the chief of the battalion department of one of the six ministries of Daxia, Qiu Peng knew more than just hunting and practicing.
The massive amount of materials managed in the camp had already allowed him to train an extremely clear brain; at the same time, the long-term cooperation with Xia Chuan also gave the two sufficient tacit understanding, and he could accurately understand the meaning of Xia Chuan's dialect.
Therefore, Xia Chuan was given such an important task to Longshan.
Qiu Peng is also a cold-resistant class. As soon as he approached the wooden house, he had already sensed the general strength of more than 2,000 people in the wooden house. Combined with the threatening attitude in Li Xuanling's tone at this moment, he quickly made a decision in his heart.
"Young master was joking. You need to have strength when you sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. I, Daxia, just want to live a life of one acre of three parts. I will never dare to have this idea. I hope Longshan will be proud of my efforts. My elders promise that as long as Daxia can not get involved in this dispute..."
Qiu Peng paused at this point, stretched out three fingers, and continued:
"First of all, the three families of Daxia, Beehive and Wushuang are willing to remain unchanged from the past and continue to respect Longshan as the lord of Longyou, and the three families will pay their tribute as usual;
Secondly, the three Daxia families will not cooperate with Zhaoyang in any form;
Finally, Daxia is willing to set the entire Wushuang area into a neutral zone and manage it together with Longshan. In the future, Longshan personnel can freely shuttle and travel.
As long as Longshan agrees, Daxia can implement these three points immediately! ”
After Qiu Peng said the three conditions, Li Xuanling and the seven people under the hall changed instantly, especially the last sentence, as long as Longshan agreed, Daxia would implement it immediately, which made everyone's expressions move.
It seemed that the heat was not enough, Qiu Peng continued to add: "I'm here, there is another news about Hanqiong Camp, which should be of great help to Longshan. To show my sincerity, I gave it to Longshan directly..."
Qiu Peng paused, and then continued: "On April 11, Wushuang and Han Qiong have joined forces to destroy Yang Campground. Wushuang drew 800 people, Han Qiong drew 1,000 people, Wu Xiong, Wu Ying, Han Jiuli, Wu Lin, all four of them are stationed in Yangyuan Peak at this moment."
Bang…………………
Li Xuan stood up directly, and the other six people also reacted greatly.
All seven people looked at the top, but found that Li Xuanling's eyes were staring at Qiu Peng without moving, obviously thinking about something.
……………………
While Qiu Peng was on his way to Longshan Military Camp, Wushuang Bishu Station was stationed.
After Xia Chuan arranged the migration plan for Wushuang personnel, he was taking Luo Yuan and other members of the cold-resistant group to observe the surrounding environment of Wushuang while chatting.
From the smile on his face, it is not difficult to see that he is in a good mood at this moment.
"Sir, respect Longshan as the lord of Longyou, and continue to pay the annual tribute; we will not cooperate with Zhaoyang to deal with Longshan in any form. These two conditions are indeed good, but Longshan is not stupid. Why do they believe in Daxia?"
Thinking of what Xia Chuan said to Qiu Peng just before he went on a mission, Luo Yuan finally couldn't help it and started asking.
"I have said that I want them to believe it?"
Xia Chuan asked back, confusing everyone.
Among the eight people around Luo Yuan, only Peng Bo's expression was slightly condensed. Obviously, he had some speculation about Xia Chuan's intentions.
"Showing weakness, these three conditions are all showing weakness to Longshan!"
Xia Chuan turned his head slightly, and when he saw what Hong Guang said, a hint of praise suddenly appeared in his eyes and nodded slightly.
Some people already understood something and showed a sudden enlightenment, but more people still looked at Xia Chuan with confusion, obviously waiting for him to explain.
"You said that when Longshan heard these three conditions, he would have any thoughts about Daxia, especially in the end, what would they feel after hearing the news about Hanqiong Camp that I asked Qiu Pengbai to them?"
There are three conditions: one is to continue to respect Longshan as the lord of Longyou, and the annual tribute will continue every year; the other is to promise not to cooperate with Zhaoyang; the last is to set Wushuang as a neutral area and manage it together with Longshan.
This is obviously giving things and being grandson, and there are quite a few things given.
Combined with the last message, we told Wushuang and Hanqiong's families how many people had sent to fight Yanglu. On the one hand, of course, it was to inform Longshan that Hanqiong did not have many defenders now, but on the other hand, it was equivalent to making a clear statement from Longshan that the reason why Daxia could defeat Wushuang was because there were not many people in Wushuang's family.
How would Longshan feel after hearing this?
Of course, I feel that Daxia is very weak and can win the Honeycomb Martial Shrimp, which is due to chance and luck. Even if there are three families now, they are still afraid of Longshan, so they come to ask these three conditions.
"Longshan will not spend a lot of effort on a Daxia who is willing to give up so much benefits to Longshan and actively show weakness. At least not at this stage, their main enemy is always Hou Hu.
Moreover, after giving up part of Wushuang's rights, Daxia has nowhere to be worthy of Longshan's attack. If he forcibly attacks us, it will only force us to Hou Hu's side. As long as the other party, the person in charge of the matter, is not stupid, he will not refuse. ”
"Sir, is Wushuang so important?"
Zhao Hu turned around and looked at Wu Shuang's Stonehenge wall, looking a little confused.
Among the three conditions just now, he always thought that Wu Shuang was the most useless. At this moment, he heard what Xia Chuan said, Wu Shuang's condition was the most important.
"Of course it is important. Yucheng has been defeated by Li Xuantian. If nothing unexpected happens, it may be attacking Yanglu or has been defeated. At that time, the people from these two camps want to go north to join the Longshan army. It is the fastest and most convenient to walk in Wushuang."
As soon as Zhu Yuan finished speaking, Zhao Hu immediately picked up a broken wooden branch and drew a few strokes on the snow. When everyone saw it, they suddenly realized it.
Wushuang is located in the central part of Longyou, with a branch of Longshan from Zhaoyang in the north, which is impossible to pass through, but there is a small piece next to Baiyuan in the northwest. The Longshan army is now stationed in this position; Yanglu is in the south; Yucheng is in the southwest; Songyuan is first on the west side, and then Changning is in the east.
In other words, not only Yucheng and Yanglu, but even if a large number of people were sent from Songyuan and Changning families, Wushuang was the fastest and most convenient to go there.
"It's not all. Have you ever looked at the Longyou map carefully?"
Seeing that everyone seemed to have not really realized how important Wushuang was, Peng Bo finally couldn't help but interject.
When everyone heard his inquiry, they were a little confused.
Peng Bo shook his head gently, saw Xia Chuan laughing and nodding at him, and immediately took the branch from Zhao Hu, and added the simple picture he had just drawn.
He directly drew a simple map of the mountain range on the far left, and he could tell at a glance that it was Longshan Mountain, and then divided the entire Longyou into three parts: north, central and southern.
“Longyou has more than 13,000 square kilometers, with three sections in total:
There are only two companies in the north, the largest one, Zhaoyang, and Dongkang on the northeast;
The central area is larger, with Changning on the west side. The territory of Changning is characterized by its narrow and narrow north and south. Its northeast is Xiling, Baiyuan in the east, Songyuan in the southeast, and Wushuang where we are now, and Hanqiong Camp is the east.
The south is relatively simple. From west to east, there are three companies, Yucheng, Yanglu and Fengcang. ”
As Peng Bo said while drawing, everyone looked at the ground that he gradually added complete Longyou overview, and his eyes slowly changed.
Especially in the end, Peng Bo pointed at the area where Wu Shuang was with a branch.
"Now, do you understand?" There was no need to answer Peng Bo's question at all. The simple picture on the ground was already clearer.
The territory of Wushuang Camp is located in the center of Longyou.
"From Wushuang and going to any camp in Longyou are the fastest and most convenient, so if you set Wushuang as a neutral zone, Longshan will inevitably be moved, especially at this critical moment."
At this moment, everyone completely understood where the essence of the three promises Xia Chuan made to Longshan was.
However, everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Peng Bo sideways.
grown ups?
They heard correctly what Peng Bo called Xia Chuan just now?
Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Peng Bo with anticipation.
Peng Bo seemed to have finally figured out something, bowed to Xia Chuan, then bowed and said in a deep voice: "Peng Bo, I am willing to serve Da Xia in the future!"
"Okay, okay!"
Xia Chuan said three good words in a row. He proposed to recruit Peng Bo as early as last night after he captured Wu Shuang, but Peng Bo did not agree at the time.
At this moment, he didn't understand why Peng Bo agreed again, only full of excitement and joy. He was a late-stage master of the winter-resistance level with the power of Eight Berry, and he was also the leader of a former giant camp. Peng Bo's joining was of great significance to Daxia.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Moreover, Peng Bo is different from Chen Yingyuan, Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing. The three of them are all controlled by their families, so they were considered to be coerced by Da Xia;
Peng Bo, first of all, Daxia has no grudges with Yang Lu, and secondly, Yuan Cheng and others have been kind to him, so his joining is basically nothing.
Moreover, Peng Bo's addition will also play a role in Yanglu later, which is what Xia Chuan values the most.
"Peng Bo, it's time for war, so I won't make any position arrangements for you. When the Longyou work is over, I will return to Xiacheng and then go to resettlement. How about it?"
Since he chose to join Daxia, Peng Bo naturally bowed and nodded without saying a word.
The expressions of the eight people including Luo Yuan, Zhao Hu were also excited. Obviously, they all knew in their hearts what Peng Bo's joining meant.
……………………
The 48th year of Longyou, April 17th, during the day
In the snow three or four kilometers east of Yanglu, the edge of a big tree with a diameter of seven or eight meters was covered with broken arms. With a rough look, there were at least a thousand people.
If you look closely, you will find that these corpses are still different.
The surroundings of the big tree are mostly broken corpses, with signs of knife slashing and sword slashing on their bodies. You can tell at a glance that they were killed by man. The outer edges of the big tree are basically full corpses. Judging from the frozen body of their limbs, it can be concluded that the cold air of the sunlight entered the body during the day and was frozen to death.
The plasma inside is mixed with the snow on the ground, and it has long been air-dried into ink, and the air is filled with a disgusting and unpleasant smell.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."
A violent cough suddenly sounded in the middle of the inner corpse.
Snap………………
Two big hands covered in blood suddenly stretched out from under a corpse.
Yuan Cheng suddenly stood up from the middle of the corpse mountain, looking very frightened. He first took a big breath a few times, then turned around and saw that there were corpses around him. The frightened slight disappearance on his face.
But there was obviously a strong sense of fear and vibration in his pupils.
"How are you?"
Suddenly, Yuan Cheng thought of something and quickly turned his head and shouted at the big tree behind him.
Seeing that no one responded, he stood up in a panic expression, walking towards the big tree while continuing to shout.
"All dead?"
"Is anyone alive?"
…………
"Sir, we are still alive!"
Finally, after Yuan Cheng shouted for more than a dozen times, a weak reply came from the big tree.
Yuan Cheng heard the sound and his face was full of surprise. He walked directly to the big tree, followed the big tree for a while, and finally found a small hole covered with wooden boards on the south side.
"Sir, you are still alive, it's great!"
The hole was opened from inside, and Yuan Cheng immediately staggered in.
The interior of the tree with a diameter of seven or eight meters has been emptied.
There were seventy or eighty people inside, many of them stood directly on the edge and stacked together. Some of the wounded were lying in the middle, with little space and being squeezed so hard that they could even breathe.
Although he couldn't walk after he got in, he saw so many people living in the tree hole, and Yuan Cheng's expression still relaxed a lot.
Suddenly thinking of something, Yuan Cheng immediately looked up and asked:
"Where is Yu Wentao, how is he?"
The man at the entrance of the cave immediately turned his head and pointed to the ground behind him, saying, "Mr. Yuwen is fine, but he has been in a coma and has never woken up."
Yuan Cheng looked in the direction of his finger and saw Yu Wentao lying on the ground with his eyes closed, his expression completely relaxed.
Huh……………
He took a deep breath, looked up and saw the terrifying expressions on the faces of the Daxia people in the tree cave. He felt extremely guilty and had not spoken for a long time.
Wrong!
Last night at Yang Yuanfeng, his last soft-heartedness turned into a big mistake.
In the last ten minutes before dawn, he took more than a hundred people from Daxia and hugged Yu Wentao in the coma and withdrew from the periphery of Yangyuanfeng.
Originally, as planned, I found a big tree at the last moment, and then a hundred people started working together to make a simple tree hole, spend four hours during the day, and then return to the beehive when it is night, and it will be basically fine.
But I never expected that something terrifying happened.
A large part of those who were rescued by them from Yang Yuanfeng were actually followed behind them. Their bodies were covered with dewdrops. How could Yuan Cheng let them get close to them?
He warned loudly at first, and then suddenly felt a murderous shock.
It still works to start first, scaring those people.
But gradually, the situation was wrong.
Those people seemed to suddenly become unafraid of death.
One after another, they rushed towards Yuan Cheng.
There were thousands of people, and there were no excavation areas among them. No matter how strong Yuan Cheng was, he would not be able to kill them all.
Moreover, it is getting closer and closer to dawn. If the hundreds of people in Daxia don’t make the tree holes before dawn, they will all die.
At that time, Yuan Cheng had already started to regret it. He felt soft-hearted, but regret was useless. He could only grit his teeth and persevere, relying on the giant axe, and after the last few minutes, letting all the people in Daxia hide in the tree hole.
He didn't know how many people he killed, but he only knew that at the end of the day, the people who besieged him screamed, and many people even ran away. Before he finally got out of strength, he hid himself under the corpse.
"Sir, your body..."
When Yuan Cheng was stunned, he was suddenly awakened by the person in front of him.
Seeing him looking frightened and pointing at his body, Yuan Cheng hurriedly looked down and looked at him. When he saw that his body was frozen.
He was besieged by so many people last night, and he suffered a lot of injuries. Just a brief look at the five positions, there are at least forty or fifty cuts.
Before he fainted, he must have taken the Blood Sore Pill, so the wounds on his body showed signs of initial healing.
What made his body stiff was not these wounds that were about to heal, but the nearby wounds, which were covered with white dewdrops at this moment.
Moreover, the dewdrops seem to have undergone some new changes. The dewdrops grown on everyone on Yangyuan Peak last night were as big as the fingernails of the thumb, and were transparent;
At this moment, the dewdrops near the wound on his body were at most one-fifth of last night, and they were still milky white, thicker than before.
While Yuan Cheng's expression was shocked, the man who had just pointed at him also looked down at him and looked at him.
At this moment, his expression instantly subsided.
"Sir, I have it too."
Not only him, but the rest of the people in the tree hole began to screen themselves,
"I've grown too."
"I have, too, near the wound."
"I have no wounds on my body, but there are not many."
"Mr. Yuwen Tao also has it."
……………………
"Calm down, don't panic. Do you still have tincture oil on your body?"
Without everyone's answer, Yuan Cheng realized after asking, this was nonsense.
When he was besieged by those people last night, dewdrops were constantly emerging on his body. The tincture oil on these people was basically used by him alone.
"I have to rush back to the hive first. You can wait for me here. I will bring the turmeric oil here soon. Don't run around!"
"Sir, let's talk about it when it's dark. Your injury has not healed."
"Yes, it's dawn now, and it's not safe outside."
Seeing Yuan Cheng dragging his wounded body out, everyone in the cave immediately spoke out to dissuade him, but Yuan Cheng ignored him at all. He just waved his hand at them, then staggered out of the tree hole and walked towards the hive on the east side.
