Returning to the camp quietly, Ling Yi did not go to find Jiang Yuan or Li Zhishu, but went straight back to his own tent.
In the entire camp, there was no joy after victory, but instead was immersed in the grief and anger of losing three thousand robes.
Confucius said: "When chaos arises, words are regarded as ranks. If the ruler is not secretive, his ministers will be lost; if the minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if several things are not secretive, it will cause harm. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and does not go out."
The days spent in the library with the girl from the Chinese department were definitely not in vain!
Amid the low sadness all around, Ling Yi felt that her heart had become clearer.
It wasn't until the next day, when Ling Yi walked out of his camp, that everyone in the camp discovered that the military doctor Ling Yi, who had been assigned to perform a secret mission in the rear, had returned.
Unfortunately, the battlefield situation of the main army this time was extremely overwhelming, and there were almost no casualties. The injured had received effective treatment long before Ling Yi's military doctor returned.
It's a pity that the three thousand robes who were sent out to lure the enemy troops to separate forces were all killed in the battle. Even their bones were burned cleanly by the fire, and there was no chance of treatment.
In the general’s tent.
"Ayi, can this method really hide the truth?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Ling Yi, with anxiety and expectation on his face.
He could not forget what he said when he faced Baqian Paoze at Ling Yi's signal.
"The whole army obeys the order! Those who have parents, wives and children at home, come out!
If you are an only son in the family, or if you have a wife but no heirs, come out!
If father and son, or brothers are both in the army, the son or brother will go out!
Anyone who goes out will stay at the headquarters, and anyone who doesn’t go out will perform a life-or-death mission——!"
Jiang Yuan said that his heart was pounding at the words "come out", because he saw the scared but determined eyes of those who were not listed.
Fortunately, under Ling Yi's plan, these people did not really go to die, but gave up their former identities, left their hometowns and went to a completely unfamiliar place to start a new life.
However, Jiang Yuan always felt unsure, worried that there would be some unpredictable consequences.
The battlefield is definitely one of the easiest places to cultivate feelings!
As a general, Jiang Yuan must take the lead in every battle. He treats the soldiers under his command as true brothers, and the soldiers below also support him from the bottom of their hearts.
Running in both directions belongs to yes.
Therefore, even if he saw Ling Yi's calm expression and knew that things should be going smoothly, without hearing Ling Yi's affirmative answer, the stone in his heart could not fall.
Under Jiang Yuan's expectant gaze, Ling Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, we've sent them all over. Senior Brother Lou Gao is there, and there are only three thousand ordinary people there. It can be easily arranged."
This is the Douluo Continent where the people are in dire straits. There is no census and there is no perfect household registration system. It is not even as good as the ancient feudal dynasty in Ling Yi's previous life.
To give a chestnut:
If a villager from the [Shuimu Principality] moves to the territory of the [Tian Dou Empire], as long as he has a local residence and a job that can support himself, whether it is farming or other crafts, it will not take long for him to be able to integrate.
Go in and naturally become a citizen of the [Tian Dou Empire].
Can you believe this?
It's just the lack of education that makes many ordinary people have no idea of leaving the one-third of an acre of land where they live.
People always have a fearful mentality towards unknown places in the outside world and dare not step out of their comfort zone.
That is to say, some powerful soul masters can wander around various places on Douluo Continent at will, and finally stop and take root in a strange place that may be thousands of miles away from their birthplace.
Therefore, as long as they escape the initial minefield on the front and enter the peaceful area behind, the three thousand soldiers who have given up their original identities will be able to merge into the river as easily as a handful of water without much effort.
Not to mention, there is a local snake-like [Blacksmiths Association] secretly accepting and supporting us.
Today's [Blacksmith Association], with the vigorous development of Lou Gao, is changing day by day. Although it is still only a third-rate force in the entire [Star Luo Empire], that is only because of the lack of high-level combat power.
If we talk about the middle and lower-level members, the number of members of the entire [Blacksmith Association], as well as the scope of influence throughout the [Star Luo Empire], is a level higher than those of the first-rate forces!
The divine craftsman is the belief in the blacksmith’s heart!
And among the [Blacksmiths Association], there are two master craftsmen, Lou Gao and Tiefu Tu!
More importantly, under the leadership of Lou Gao, the members of the entire [Blacksmith Association] have experienced more or less positive changes. There are many who have achieved economic benefits, blacksmithing skills, and both.<
/p>
"Don't worry~" Ling Yi said with relief again: "You only need to know that there are indeed three thousand soldiers left in our military camp, and in the previous main battlefield, you also wiped out all the [North Vietnam Kingdom]
]’s army, that’s it—!”
"Neither the people on the [North Vietnam] side nor those behind them care about the disappearance of these three thousand soldiers..."
Listening to Ling Yi's words, Jiang Yuan nodded bitterly.
Seeing this, Ling Yi just continued: "What you need to consider now is whether there will be new battles to be fought in the future, and how to arrange the remaining five thousand people in the army..."<
/p>
"You have to know that many of the three thousand people before were their brothers, loved ones, relatives and friends. Not only those who were sent away were fine, but the rest were thrown into a battlefield like a flesh and blood mill.
”
"I understand." Jiang Yuan nodded, with a solemn expression, and said with a heavy face: "According to my previous experience, after destroying the [North Vietnam] army, now we just need to wait here peacefully.
On the main battlefield on the Douyu Xingluo side, the top management held several battles to determine the winner and loser, and decided on the priority rights of both sides in the exploitation of border resources in the next few years, and we can go back home——"
"Sure enough!"
After listening to Jiang Yuan's words, Ling Yi shook his head, and with Jiang Yuan's confused expression, whispered:
"This so-called war between two empires is actually just a show. In addition to actually grabbing resources and redistributing them, it also consumes the vitality of the subordinate kingdoms and principalities below."
"How can the gentlemen be willing to watch the steady development below, accumulate strength bit by bit, and strengthen themselves?"
"The Douluo Continent is only so big, and a batch is consumed every once in a while. How can those limited resources be enough for the gentlemen to be full and always full?"
Having said this, Ling Yi did not look at Jiang Yuan, whose face turned pale again, but continued to read in his heart:
"This is true among humans, and I'm afraid it's also true among humans and spirit beasts.
After all, if it can really develop steadily and steadily, after so many years, with the abundant aura of heaven and earth in Douluo Continent, the population should have exploded long ago, and there is no family planning here.
No matter how small the chance of soul master qualifications appears, as long as the base is large enough, how can the number of soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent be so small?
There are more soul masters, but the number of soul beasts, especially the number of senior soul beasts, is far from enough——!"
