Back Off, Let Me Come

Kang State, Wuzhou.

Wuzhou used to be called Shiwu instead of Wuzhou.

Why Shiwu changed its name and why it was merged into the territory of Kang State, this matter starts from the battle of Yonggu Pass.

At the end of this battle, Shiwu's elite vitality was severely damaged, many nobles died, young men suffered heavy casualties, and Shiwu Royal Court's control over all tribes completely collapsed. Eighty percent of the middle and lower-sized tribes rose up in resistance and began to compete with the largest tribes.

The two sides fought fiercely for a series of conflicts such as water sources, food, mineral veins, and military power. Su Shiyilu, the original general of the Royal Court, took the lead in breaking away from the Royal Court, gathering a group of tribal forces who were dissatisfied with the old Royal Court, and established a new Royal Court. War broke out between the old and new royal courts in various places, and slaves from the bottom of Shiwu took advantage of the situation, spreading the legends of their ancestors everywhere and uniting people's hearts with their faith.

One ebbs and flows, the other ebbs and flows, and in the end the three parties work hard.

However, the foundation of the faith sect is the inscriptions of the ancestors, and everyone has their own understanding. This leads to internal strife and division among the believers when the three parties fight the most fiercely. After several years of fierce fighting, Shiwu's population dropped sharply to 50% of its original size, splitting into fifty or sixty mutually hostile factions. This year we experienced bad weather again, and the forces with poor geographical location and lack of resources were the first to be unable to hold on. The big forces relied on swallowing up the small forces to maintain basic operations. However, this is ultimately just drinking poison to quench thirst, and it cannot last long.

The forces headed by Su Shiyilu came up with the idea of ​​attacking Longwu County, even though they knew that this battle would be defeated.

If you fight, you will most likely lose.

If you don't fight, you will be surrounded to death.

Since the establishment of Kang State by the surnamed Shen, they no longer rely on returning blood from Shiwu, and have strictly restricted the supplies entering Shiwu. Lack of supplies was also one of the main reasons why Shiwu was forced to fight internally.

In order to survive, fighting is the only way out.

However, all the soldiers and horses sent out were wiped out by Zhechong Mansion on the border. The two sides worked on the border for half a year. Su Shiyilu was captured and escorted to Fengluo, the capital of Kang State. Su Shiyilu was a prisoner here for a month and met the leader of Kang State, Shen Youli.

[Shiwu has come to this point, whether you want to exterminate the species or massacre the clan, huh, you will be a king or a bandit, I will do whatever you want. 】Although Su Shiyilu has been busy with internal fighting and fighting in recent years and has no spare energy to think about other things, it does not mean that he does not know who created the current situation in Shiwu. She knows best what kind of tricks Shen did here!

Su Shiyilu had no intention of living after being captured.

【Genocide? What you said is too serious. Although Gu didn't have a good impression of Shiwu and the two sides had deep grudges, they were not so cruel. 】The young king dressed in ordinary clothes and personally untied Su Shiyilu. He was not afraid of his sudden violence. Su Shiyilu was not that stupid. "With Shiwu's current population, I will let you continue to fight among yourself." , or within ten to twenty years, the race will be exterminated, right? 】

Su Shiyilu's face was ashen.

He really didn't pay much attention to the population issue.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but after these years of frequent wars, his troops have been greatly reduced, and there are too many divided forces in Shiwu. He knew the affairs of his own department, but he didn't know the situation of other departments, but he could also guess that it was not optimistic.

Su Shiyilu: [How are you doing? 】

The young king raised his lips and smiled, making his face even more confusing to all living beings. He threw him a scroll of letters and said with his hands behind his back: "What do you want me to do?" No matter what, I want to give Shiwu a way out. It's just that this road has many restrictions, I don't know if you are willing to do it. 】

Su Shiyilu opened the letter in his arms.

Read everything in one glance.

The voice of the young king came to his ears: [As long as Shiwu's forces are willing to rely on him, Gu plans to gradually relax various restrictions on Shiwu. It's just that the two places had too much resentment in the early years, and neither side would be able to accept the hasty integration, so they have to work on it slowly. 】

It sounds nice, but actually he just wants to cannibalize Shiwu.

Su Shiyilu sneered and said: [Your Highness is very good at calculating, but you don’t know that there is a saying that ‘leads the wolf into the house’ and ‘raising a tiger creates trouble’? In the past, many powerful countries in the northwest had no idea, but His Highness dared to speak arrogantly...]

Within the pass, Shiwu was classified as a foreign race.

Alien, haha.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

How easy is it to nibble, devour, and digest? Not worried about indigestion? How did you eat it and how did you get it out?

The young king's eyebrows were filled with dazzling pride: "You can think of things, so why can't I think of it?" 】

Su Shiyilu said: [I would rather die. 】

The young king chuckled and said: [Death is such a simple thing, the knife falls with the hand, and the head rolls to the ground. Su Shiyilu, you should think carefully before choosing. Today's Shiwu is no threat to Gu, but - this does not mean that Gu is willing to have a bad person sleeping soundly next to his bed. There is such a hidden danger on the border! Shiwu can be an uninhabited wasteland, but it cannot be that bad guy. 】

Use the gentlest voice to say the harshest words. She didn't want to have an emergency on the front line in the future, a fire suddenly break out in the rear, or someone robbed her home.

Su Shiyilu's pupils trembled suddenly.

General Shiwu, who was kneeling on the ground in a captive posture, now focused all his attention on the young king in front of him.

He was breathing rapidly, panting uncontrollably.

The young king chuckled: [Do you doubt that Gu can't do it? 】

Su Shiyilu lowered his head after a long while and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "No - I have never doubted that His Highness has this determination." 】

Just a few words contain too much reluctance.

The young king: [General, don’t worry too much. This matter has only advantages and no disadvantages for Shi Wu now. 】

She promised that Shiwu's life would not be more difficult than now.

Su Shiyilu lowered his eyes to calm down all his emotions, and his voice became a little more depressed: "To make His Highness laugh, I can only be the leader of this tribe, and I cannot interfere with the attitudes of other tribal forces." 】

The young king doesn't mind either.

[Then let’s use your headquarters as a pilot, and then I’ll trouble you to lobby other tribal forces. ] She threw several baits at Su Shiyilu, [As long as you agree, you can go back! In the future, Zhechong Mansion will be established in Shiwu, and you will be the captain of Zhechong. 】

Although Shiwu Diguang is sparsely populated now, judging from the size of Zhechong Mansion, Shiwu Zhechong Mansion must belong to Shangfu!

This is only the most basic commitment.

If Su Shiyilu succeeds in lobbying, he will be credited separately.

It is not impossible to enter the seventh guard and fourth rate.

Half a month later, Su Shiyilu was released to Shiwu.

After another half month, we successfully lobbied the three tribes to join.

As expected, Kang State kept its promise and took the initiative to relax the control of resources in Shiwu. As long as private merchants in the country can get a business guide to do business in Shiwu and pass the border inspection, they can enter Shiwu to do business. However, the quantity is still limited.

This is still a drop in the bucket for the food shortages in various places in Shiwu.

At this time, Kang State promulgated new policies.

Tribes willing to rely on Kang State can send young men to work to make a living, and each family can bring two children. These Shiwu people will be placed in a new town under the jurisdiction of Longwu County. These people can stay here temporarily and be sent to other places according to arrangements.

Kang Guo is willing to provide them with one month of funding.

Food and accommodation are included for one month.

When this policy reached Shiwu, Su Shiyilu and others had different reactions, and most people still didn't believe it. The scattered young men who entered the Kang Kingdom did not wait to die? They firmly believe that this is Kang Guo's conspiracy to kill all the young people in Shiwu.

Su Shiyilu was also suspicious.

After all, the people in the pass have always been cunning.

In the past, there was Zheng Qiao who received a thousand sword blows, and in the back there was Shen Youli who received a thousand sword blows. Those who can become the leader of the country are the most evil people in the world!

However, if he didn't agree, he was afraid of angering Shen Youli.

Too many people starve to death in Shiwu.

He closed his eyes hard, then opened them suddenly, and the staff suggested: [How about letting the slaves of this headquarters explore the way first? 】

Since the slave rebellion, the number of slaves in each tribe has dropped sharply, and many things have to fall on the people of other tribes. In order to solve this problem, the tribes did not exploit slaves so harshly.

As long as the squeeze is not too harsh, the slave will not resist.

Therefore, a delicate balance is maintained.

However, the tribes treated the slaves well not because of sincere pity and repentance, but because they still did not treat the slaves as human beings.

Push the slave out to test the waters and kill two birds with one stone.

Su Shiyilu nodded: [Alright. 】

But they can’t all be slaves.

In addition to slaves, many people who were too poor to open the pot were also sent out. If Shen Youli plays tricks, these people won't feel too bad if they are killed; if Shen Youli keeps his promise, he can still eat and drink for free for a month. No matter what happens in the future, he is no longer a starving ghost.

Speaking of which——

Does Shen Youli have a lot of food?

Su Shiyilu didn't believe she would be so kind.

In fact, this policy was also opposed by ministers.

They didn't understand why they didn't use heavy troops to clear out Shiwu. After all, the feud between the two sides was inextricable, so it was reasonable for them to be ruthless. The Lord is kind and unwilling to do this. If he wants to fuse Shiwu to avoid future troubles, he cannot give him so much preferential treatment.

Another purpose is to establish special towns and settlements.

Food and accommodation are provided again for one month.

Are these people worthy of Shiwu?

The young king smiled at the end of the quarrel among the ministers and said: [Well, what you all said is reasonable, but do you know why they are allowed to take care of children as long as they are young and strong? 】

Baiguan: [……]

I don't want to be young, but I want to be elderly. Can I work?

Young King: [It must be more than just for them to be able to work, the real reason for being lonely is for the children they bring with them. Shiwu is barren and hard, but the territory of Kang is prosperous and rich, and Shiwu is the most powerful. What do you think will happen to these children? With the caution of people like Su Shiyilu, the first batch of people sent will definitely not be young men who are loyal to the headquarters, so that - it will be easy to handle. 】

As long as the people sent have no filter on Shiwu's old forces and see the prosperity and wealth in Kangguo, it will be much easier to alienate them. Of course, there are certain risks in this move.

When a poor man sees a rich man, he may be flattering and dependent, or he may harbor ill intentions.

The young ruler bet on the former.

Su Shiyilu and other established forces bet on the latter.

In a flash, half a year has passed.

Just when Su Shiyilu and others thought they had been deceived, the selected people came back one after another. The man came back and brought a lot of things with him. In just half a year, the originally skinny and dark-skinned man had gained a lot of weight, and now has a strong adult body. The materials on his body are not expensive, but compared with the tribesmen who use cowhide and sheepskin to make clothes, they are indeed wealthy.

Also brought back were salt, tea, rice, cloth, needlework, spices... These things could only be bought when merchants came over. Not only have the adults gained weight, but the children they took out have also grown strong and healthy. Some of them can even count, understand the characters in Guan Nei, and can speak elegant language decently...

You know, these children are all the sons of slaves!

The children of slaves are naturally slaves.

If you stand next to the children of rich tribesmen, it is difficult to tell who is the son of the master and who is the son of the slave just by looking at the appearance.

Class prejudice among children is not as strong as among adults.

Within two days there were many children surrounding these children.

Listen to the latter talk about what he has seen and heard in the past six months.

A child asked: "Have you seen the capital of Kang State?" 】

Answer: [I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard people say that the main road in Fengluo, the capital of the country, can allow eighteen double carriages to run in parallel. Where my parents and I live, the widest road is only six cars wide! 】

Children don't know how wide a six-wheel drive is.

The slave's child looked at the simple and poor tribal tent, raised his finger and pointed at two places: [Liujia, from here to here! 】

【Only that much? It’s not as big as us at all. 】

They can run around while riding outside.

You can drive as much as you want!

The slave child said with slight contempt: [The road is for people and carriages to walk, and it is the distance between tents. 】

The child's eyes were too obvious, which angered the son of a wealthy tribe who came to listen to the fun. The latter swung his fist at me and cursed: "I've blinded you with your dirty dog ​​eyes, how dare you look at me like this!" 】

The situation escalated from individual fights to group fights.

If this matter had happened in the past, the son of a slave would have been beaten to death if he dared to fight back, but now he was only punished and scolded, and his life was spared. The parents tremblingly begged their master for mercy, but when they heard the pardon, they were so afraid that they cried. Their children looked cold.

They came back to visit relatives and bring some things to improve the old man who stayed at home. After this incident, they did not dare to stay. After staying for three days, they hurried to Kangguo.

I'm afraid that if I take a step slowly, my master will regret it.

Similar things happen frequently.

What Shen Tang wanted was achieved.

Through the words of these young men, Kang's reputation among various tribes quickly changed. Regardless of Su Shiyilu's side, there are many young people who can't survive and want to make a living in Kang State. Su Shiyilu was slightly worried about this situation, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

The staff comforted him: [Shen Youli is arrogant and arrogant, allowing our young men to enter the border, and wait until the time is right...]

Kang State will eventually fall like countless other countries in the past.

As long as it is weak, the young man who enters Kangguo's territory will turn into a poisonous dagger that stabs Kangguo's heart!

Shen is digging her own grave.

In the spring of the fourth year of Yuanhuang, Shen Youli relaxed the restrictions again, allowing Shiwu Qingzhuang, who had performed well and lived a stable life in Kang State, to take over the elderly people left behind in his hometown to live together. Although there are restrictions on the scope of residence and activities of these people, and they are not allowed to cross counties without the consent of local government agencies, judging from the current policy situation, they believe that the restrictions will be relaxed sooner or later.

Yuanhuang fifth year, early summer.

The thirteen tribes headed by Su Shiyilu unanimously agreed to attach themselves to Shen Tang's Kang state, and the opposition forces were forced to retreat towards the Shiwu Western Territory. In another month, Shiwu was renamed Wuzhou.

In the same month, Shen Tang led the mobile royal court to secretly inspect Shiwu.

As the head of the country, Tang Mei can also be called Your Highness, Lord or Lord.
