Wei Yan monitored Long Baozi and others to clear the obstacles, and ordered Wang Zhu to rush to Zhuwang Temple, and led the temple's temple's prayers, servants and two witches down, and took Long Baozi's wine and food to the temple.

As Wang Zhu said, the bamboo king temple has a good incense. The temple is full of fat heads and ears, and looks very rich, but now it is a little nervous, with a pale face full of oil and sweat, and it cannot be wiped off no matter how hard it is. Several servants were a little miserable and were injured on their bodies. Wang Zhu said that he was missing a young man, and it is said that he died of illness. No one dared to say what disease and when he died.

Wei Yan noticed that the two witches always looked at Long Baozi secretly with fierce eyes. He knew what to do. He asked Miaozhu to take the servile servants to work together, leaving two witches. After asking for a moment, he asked the whole story.

The young man played Saburo, the son of the Bamboo King during the Nuo Opera. He was handsome and was attracted by Long Baozi and forced to serve him. However, the young man vowed to serve the gods and refused to be humiliated. As a result, he was beaten to death by Long Baozi and threw his body behind the mountain. The temple was supported by the Long family, so naturally only Long Baozi's orders were followed. Several servants were slaves and were not qualified to speak. As soon as they opened their mouths, they were whipped by Long Baozi. Like that young man, they were people serving the Bamboo King, and they wanted to avenge the boy, but they only hated that they were not strong enough.

Wei Yan was very strange. Like Wuling, Jing Ke, with a strong witch style, and the Bamboo King is a very important god in Jing Ke. There is a Bamboo King Temple everywhere. Where did this dragon treasure son get the courage? He dared to mess around in the Bamboo King Temple and even let the people who serve the gods sleep with him?

The witch couldn't explain it clearly. She only knew that although the Long family had given incense money in recent years, they had never come to worship the Bamboo King.

Wei Yan was confused and felt that there was a need to investigate this matter deeply. He called Long Baozi over. Although Long Baozi was just a small role in the Long family, he was also a person with no worries about food and clothing. When did he suffer such hardship? Today, he was not lucky and kicked the stone slab and had to bite the bullet. After working for a while, he was so tired that he was sweating and panting. When Wei Yan called him to ask, he was full of joy and wanted to take a rest. He had almost no hesitation about Wei Yan's problem, and he said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Not only the Long family, but in fact, the many major clans of Jingke did not believe in the Bamboo King or other witches. Jingke was different from other counties. As early as the Mingzhang era, Yin Zhen, a Wulian man, went to Zhongyuan to seek the Yuan Dynasty and studied the Five Classics under the great scholar Xu Shen of Runan. From then on, he believed in Confucianism and did not say that strange powers were chaotic. The reason why he paid to support the Bamboo King Temple was because of the tribes, slaves believed in the Bamboo King, especially slaves. The big surname in Nanzhong had an unwritten rule that the same clan could not be slaves, so as to avoid internal strife and disperse the power and was taken advantage of by others. Later, it gradually developed into not using the Han people as slaves. The slaves were dominated by barbarians and Han people acted as tribes. The slaves believed in the Bamboo King and the big surname offered the Bamboo King, and let the Bamboo King speak for themselves, which was conducive to appease the slaves and prevent them from rebelling.

As for himself, he had no respect for the Bamboo King, and was ordered to ambush here. He was extremely bored and had a lustful heart. He attacked the young man who was pretending to be a god and the witch. When he was about to leave, he would kill these servants and witches together, and then he would arrange people. The gods didn't know it, and the ghosts didn't realize it. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Wei Yan, and then he fell to this point.

After listening to Long Baozi's disapproval, Wei Yan remembered what Deng Zhi said when mobilizing the generals and felt it deeper. He and Deng Zhi were both from Nanyang, and Deng Zhi was a few years older than him. Deng Zhi was also a servant by Zhou Yu when he was internship with Xun You, and he had a friendship with the same county. The two got along well and knew each other's knowledge and abilities very well. However, judging from Deng Zhi's performance, he had become a great success in his military service in the past two years. He had broken his inherent prejudices and discovered the differences between the Han people's surname and the local barbarians, and also saw the potential of barbarians and their impact on the army's conquest.

In contrast, local tribes such as Long Baozi have not taken the barbarians seriously. They have a strong sense of superiority and know nothing about the new situation and changes. They are simply sitting on firewood and playing with firewood.

Wei Yan didn't say anything and asked Long Baozi to go back and continue working.

In order to survive, Long Baozi and others worked very hard and took a long time to clear a small path that could be walked. Wei Yan kept his promise and did not kill them, but he could not let Long Baozi go. He asked someone to tie Long Baozi and others up and hand them over to the witches and servants to guard the temple Zhuze was taken away by him and acted as a guide.

Before parting, he said goodbye to the two witches and said a mantra that he had just learned: "The Bamboo King bless you."

The two witches understood God's heart and replied, "Those who believe in God will be blessed, and those who blaspheme God will be punished by God."

——

Wei Yan traveled day and night, rushed back to the central army, and reported in detail to Zhou Yu and Xun You. He suggested paying attention to Deng Zhi's opinions and adjusting the policies to the barbarians, not only to bring benefits to them, but also to respect their beliefs so that they can better fight for them from the control of the big surname.

Without respect, where can we get real trust?

Zhou Yu and Xun You were surprised. It would be fine if Wei Yan defeated Long Baozi, but this was just a normal performance. Although it was the first time to take action, years of training had laid a solid tactical foundation for him. In addition, with experienced knights as a companion, as long as he was not stubborn and self-righteous, it was not difficult to do this. What surprised them was that Wei Yan was quite politically wise, able to see the problems from the subtleties, and combined them with Deng Zhi's point of view to put forward new views.

"Boy, do you want to join the army?" Xun You touched his beard and said half-jokingly: "You are the job of joining the army."

Zhou Yu smiled but said nothing. Wei Yan was a little embarrassed and quickly refused. "Military advisor, this is all Deng Bomiao's opinion. I'll just retweet it."

"Just because Deng Bomiao is from Nanyang, do you want to help him?"

Wei Yan bowed his hand repeatedly. Xun You laughed, patted Wei Yan on the shoulder, and said to Zhou Yu: "Governor, such a good seedling should be sent to the King of Wu for several years. Even if it is not as good as Lu Gong, he should fight against Zhu Ran."

Zhou Yu understood it. As one of the nine generals in the army, he had the responsibility to recommend good seedlings to Sun Ce. If he kept all the talents by his side, he was suspected of cultivating personal strength and could easily cause suspicion. For Wei Yan, being around Sun Ce would also increase his knowledge and achieve higher in the future, which would also be beneficial to the growth of the Jingzhou Group.

"Chief Wen, it's rare for the military advisor to praise people like this. After this battle, you can go to Jianye to report the victory."

Wei Yan was overjoyed and bowed to answer.

After Zhou Yu and Xun You studied He Qi's combat plan, they approved it and would personally be responsible for blocking the Cao army in Lou Guan. At the same time, Xun You issued an order requiring Deng Zhi to make a detailed argument on the naturalization of the barbarians, and that the entire army would be copied at that time as a basic policy to implement.

One hand needs to be suppressed, the other hand needs to be caressed, and both hands must be hard, so that we can go further.

——

After receiving Zhou Yu's reply, He Qi was relieved and warned Fu Chong twice in succession, with his tone getting tougher and more and more, and ordered Fu Chong to surrender within a specified period of time. At the same time, Deng Zhi also taught the main content of the new policy to the dependent mountain people, so that they could spread it everywhere, so that ordinary people could understand that this attack was aimed at the big surname. They followed the order of the King of Wu and performed the king's storm for the welfare of ordinary people.

For a time, Xi County was talking about it and there was no consensus. Not only did ordinary people doubt the propaganda of the big surname, but the slaves of the big surname also began to shake. Regardless of whether He Qi was a real king's army, he treated ordinary people better than the local big surname. This is a fact that many people have personally experienced.

At this moment, He Qi released dozens of barbarian soldiers who were brought back to the camp to treat. These barbarian soldiers were ordered to attack He Qi's camp, but were shot in front of the camp. The Fu family they served was frightened by the strong crossbows in He Qi's camp and did not dare to save them, so they asked them to wait for death in front of the camp. Instead, He Qi sent people to take them to the camp and cured their injuries.

In the past ten days, they not only witnessed the superb medical skills of doctors, but also witnessed He Qi's strength. No matter whether it is military equipment or training level, they cannot fight against. Since He Qi was not targeting them, why did they still fight to the death?

The words of acquaintances are the most credible. After these dozen barbarians were released, they were like a dozen huge rocks falling into the water, which suddenly disturbed Fu Chong's morale. Although Fu Chong quickly controlled these dozen people and tried his best to refute the rumors and ordered the army to prohibit discussion of this issue, he could no longer control public opinion. No matter where he went, he felt that there were countless fierce eyes behind him looking at them, and his backbone was always cold.

Fu Chong did not dare to wait any longer, and was unwilling to surrender. He decided to retreat to his own village to defend himself and avoid He Qi's edge for a while. He had realized that the Wu army he faced this time was different from all previous enemies - no matter Wang Mang or Gongsun Shu, no one would treat the barbarians as human beings, or even provoke barbarians to deal with them - before figuring out the other party's true strength, it would be better to be more conservative.

But He Qi did not intend to let Fu Chong and others go like this. He found that Fu Chong and others showed signs of retreating, so he immediately launched an attack.

With the loud shouts of hundreds of Han and Barbarian soldiers selected, "the army of kings, to relieve the fire of the people" and "the Han and barbarians are equal and turn over as the masters", the two thousand elite teams of first-row climbed into Fu Chong's camp. Wu Gang's car was pushed to the front of the formation and fired with all his might. The dense rain of arrows made Fu Chong's subordinates unable to raise their heads. The soldiers holding a big axe and machete advanced like a wall, and quickly broke through Fu Chong's camp.

Under the mobilization of the two-lingual Han and Manchu formation, Fu Chong's troops with barbarians as the main body had no fighting spirit and were defeated one after another. Only the personal guard camps with family children as the main body had to fight, but they were far from the opponent of the Jiangdong troops led by He Qi, and were quickly defeated with heavy casualties.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fu Chong had to abandon the camp and leave. He had only one hope left, returned to the village, guarded the danger, and then negotiated with He Qi.

But he soon discovered that this wish had become a luxury. He had just escaped from the camp for less than twenty miles, and was blocked from a place called Huoshiba. He stood in a row in a row. Arrows on both sides were raining like rain on the hillsides. Fu Chong had no way to go. He was shocked and was shot by two crossbow arrows before he could even leave. He turned over and fell off the horse.

He never understood until his death why He Qi's subordinates suddenly appeared here.
