The brainwashing of foreigners is far from as simple as imagined. Two or three sentences are almost impossible to change the fixed thinking that has been formed for a long time. But as long as policy propaganda is transformed into stories and wonderful performances, the audience will have a subtle psychological inclination. Whether it is storytelling or drama performance, they can more or less feel substituted, and then they feel that "the protagonist is me", and they are less resistant to the following slogans, and even think that the Dragon Clan people are justified and urgently want to get what the propagandists call "a happy life."

When the first snow fell, Iron Jaw City had already accepted more than 700,000 Tiger people. The fleet transportation model from Bucks City became single. When it came, the ship was full of food, and when it left, it was filled with tiger civilians. According to the work team and the propaganda team, "They carried hope for the future, led by the Regent, and rushed to a brand new and enviable life."

As the weather gets colder day by day, the number of tiger civilians coming from the south has also decreased a lot. Both the frequency and number have been greatly reduced. Even so, the statistics received in a single week are still as many as 140,000.

The civilians who fled to Tieja City were dressed in tattered clothes, and they were hungry and forced to walk until now. Yonggang ordered the people below to arrange enough rice porridge and soup. He couldn't help but become curious about the allies of the national teacher who had never met in Lifeng City.

According to the habits of the northern barbarians, they rarely go out in such severe and cold weather. But even so, a large number of civilians fled to Iron Jaw City.

This must be due to the Wulin.

How did he do it?

What kind of person is he?

...

Tiger tribe territory, Lifeng City.

The tiger king Yaoxian led a large group of troops into the city gate. Behind hundreds of elite guards was a huge transportation team that stretched for several miles.

From Blood Claw City to Lifeng City, Hu Yaoxian felt restless on the way, and felt indescribable anxiety and depression.

Along the way, he kept urging and ordered the transport team to speed up. However, the heavy snow in the sky hindered the road, and the bad road conditions kept the wheels in mud pits again and again. People braved the cold and tried their best to beat the horses pulling the carts. The animals that could not bear to suffer from their pain were using their strength to scream and staggered forward in an extremely difficult environment.

Along the way, Hu Yaoxian beat the horse under his seat like crazy. He abandoned his slow baggage and rushed in with hundreds of light cavalrymen. His heart was full of anxiety, as if his body was full of burning flames. Not to mention the severe wind and snow, even if the weather became worse than now, he would fight to the Lifeng City desperately with hail as big as fists.

Under the guidance of the guards, Hu Yao first walked into the city lord's mansion.

Wu Lin and the commander received the news in advance and were already waiting there.

As he strides through the living room, Hu Yao took off his cloak while walking and threw it on the ground. Several pots of charcoal fires were burning in the room, which was very comfortable to warm. The surface of his boots was covered with snow, which quickly melted under the heat of the room. Wet footprints were trampled on the floor of the living room, connecting from the door to the main seat of the high-back chair located in the middle of the hall.

The food on the table is very simple: a pot of hot porridge that has just been cooked, a large piece of meat that has been cut into thin slices. There is a small plate of pickles next to it, but it is not very well marinated and the color is dark.

Hu Yaoxian seemed hungry. He picked up the basin of the porridge and drank it in big gulp. He drank half of the basin in one breath before putting it down. Without using chopsticks, he reached out and grabbed the cooked meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls.

"What kind of meat is this?" Hu Yaoxian felt that the taste was a bit wrong, which was very different from the meat he usually ate.

Wu Lin stood on the side of the dining table and replied calmly: "Horse meat."

Hu Yao froze first, and his hand stretched out toward the meat basin was fixed in the air again, motionless. He slowly turned around, a trace of ruthlessness appeared in the depths of his eyes, locking firmly on Wu Lin.

Horses are the treasures of the tiger clan. The previous tiger kings, long before Hu Yaoxian, issued edicts: the entire clan has banned horse meat.

"These horses were frozen to death." Wu Lin's plain face was not visible, nor was hesitant or trembling: "The city has been out of food for more than two weeks. If he doesn't eat horses, he can only eat people."

Hu Yaoxian tried hard to control his emotions, but did not draw his knife on the spot to chop people. Although he wanted to do this, he wanted to cut off Wulin's head.

The secretly sent confidants conducted a comprehensive investigation of Lifeng City. Five reports sent back at different times showed that Wulin and the commander did not lie. Lifeng City's grain storage had long been consumed, and the current situation was in danger. If the grain and grass were not transported from the rear, the situation would be completely out of control.

By the way, he found out that there were other things. Hu Yaozong made a move in the plan to migrate south and privately swallowed up the property of hundreds of thousands of civilians. From food to livestock, from gold and silver to clothes, he spared nothing, exploiting all civilians completely.

The huge amount of property was shocking, and the royal nobles who were bribed by him stood up and spoke. Hu Yaoxian knew that it had made a big mistake. He was extremely furious at the time and his mind was full of the idea of ​​executing Hu Yaoxian in the silence. However, there were too many people who were persuading him, all of them were royal members who could not get by any means... With no choice, Hu Yaoxian had to order Hu Yaoxian to be imprisoned and seize his property. He personally led the guards and the imperial guards, and quickly rushed to Lifeng City with the food and grass sent from the Blood Claw City Warehouse.

He could understand the practice of Wulin. If he didn't eat horses, he could only eat people.

After suppressing the anger deep in his heart, Hu Yaoxian panted and asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

The commander stood side by side with Wu Lin, and did not dare to show off his might. Wu Lin put his hands in his sleeves, as if he had already seen everything, and asked lightly: "Your Majesty, what are you referring to?"

Hu Yaoxian knew that he was asking too general, but Wu Lin's cold attitude made him feel very unhappy, and he could even be said to be rude. But Hu Yaoxian knew that it was not the time to care about it, so he frowned: "Let's talk about the situation of civilians first!"

Wu Lin answered quickly, and he was always very sensitive to numbers: "There are still 250,000 people in the city, no more than 260,000 at most."

"Why are there only these?" Hu Yaoxian opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't help but raise his voice: "When you wrote to ask for food adjustment last time, wasn't there a million more?"

"That was the past, not the present." Wu Lin's tone was cold and rhythmic: "From Lifeng City to Tieja City, all refugees in the entire northern region were squeezed here. Without food, what should I use to support them?"

"Where are they now?" Hu Yaoxian had no intention of arguing with Wu Lin. He glared with red eyes: "More than one million to twenty-five thousand... Wu Lin, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Wu Lin nodded slowly: "I ordered the north gate to open and let them choose where to go."

"North Gate?" Hu Yaoxian felt his breathing frozen instantly. He finally relieved himself from his terrible thinking and asked incrediblely: "To the north is Iron Jaw City, the territory of the Dragon Clan. Hundreds of thousands of civilians, you...you just gave them to the Dragon Clan."

"It's not to give it away, but let them make their own choices." Wu Lin's face was not afraid: "If they don't want to leave, they can stay. But there is no food in the city, so I can't kill half of the people and feed the remaining half."

"You...you are a rebel clan!" Hu Yaoxian's face was ferocious, but he could not find evidence of Wu Lin's crime from the theoretical and realistic levels. He raised his hand and pointed at Wu Lin and roared angrily: "What you just said is all excuses. Even if there is no food, why not open the south gate and let them escape to Huangshi City in the south?"

"I don't have a rebel clan!" Wu Lin overwhelmed Hu Yaoxian with a higher tone. He looked weak and angry at this moment, and now he burst out with a more violent anger than Hu Yaoxian: "Do you think I don't want them to escape to Huangshi City? Do you think doing this will solve the problem?"

The furious Hu Yao asked without hesitation: "Why can't it?"

"How much food can Huangshi City have?" Wulin's rebuttal force was not weak: "I am responsible for the internal affairs of the entire north. Huangshi City has previously accepted a large number of civilians, and both endurance and food supply capacity have reached the limit. As early as three months ago, I proposed that the civilians gathered in Huangshi City should be diverted to receive immigrants from Lifeng City. I have been waiting, but I have never received a reply."

Hu Yaoxian's face was already gloomy, and he stared at Wulin with playful eyes. After a few seconds, he turned his gaze to the commander standing on the side: "Go down! Tell the guards outside that no one is allowed to come in without my order."

The commander nodded and turned away with relief. He knew that the tiger king Yaoxian had a good personal relationship with Wu Lin. Next, there were probably many conversations that could not be known to outsiders.

Hu Yaoxian waited patiently until the door was closed from outside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to stare at Wu Lin, his tone was cold: "You'd better give me an explanation, otherwise..."

"Even if you kill me, I still can't change the facts." Wu Lin interrupted the Tiger King without hesitation: "The God of Tiger is above, I am helping you solve the problem from a fair and just standpoint. You are very clear about the situation in Lifeng City. There are more than one million civilians. How do you ask me to resettle so many people? As you said just now, it will only cause an impact on a series of cities behind. At that time, the damage will not be as simple as a Lifeng City, and it may even cause new turmoil within the entire tribe."

Hu Yaoxian's eyes widened, and he wanted to make a few deterrent words at Wu Lin that made the other party speechless. However, he couldn't find a word.

After a long time, Hu Yaoxian let out a fierce roar: "Even so, why don't you allocate the existing military rations in Lifeng City to supply civilians?"

Wu Lin's ridicule was even louder: "You said that it was military rations, how dare I use them without any voluntary action? Although I am a national teacher, my responsibilities are limited to managing civilians. Your Majesty, you are very clear about the importance of the reconstruction plan of the Northern Defense Line. If the soldiers are not full of food and complaining, and then causing trouble, who will bear the responsibility?"

After pausing for a moment, Wu Lin continued: "What's more, there are not many military rations in Lifeng City. Together with the amount distributed today, the military ration reserves are only enough to last for one week."

Hu Yaoxian was speechless by him. Although there was anger on his face, he could not find a reason to vent.

A touch of sadness slowly climbed up to the wulin's eyebrows: "...you have become too many."

The angry Hu Yaoxian did not understand the meaning of this sentence: "What did you say?"

Wu Lin shook his head indifferently: "You have forgotten our original ideals and the dream of our desire to lead the tribe to a strong one. There is no problem with the northern migration plan itself, but you just put Hu Yaozong in charge. Do you not know him enough? In addition to taking the opportunity to fill your personal bags and embezzle immigrant property, he also used his power to turn more than 20,000 civilians into slaves and then sell them to merchants. I found out later about this matter, you must have wanted to know where those slaves were... They have now become dragon people... Yes, those merchants are from the dragon people. I don't know whether Hu Yaozong knows their identities, but he only has gold and silver in his eyes, and he doesn't treat our civilians as humans at all."

"We have reached a ceasefire agreement with the Dragon Clan. Even if the Regent wants to turn against others, he has to consider the political influence of all aspects. He will not tear up the agreement in a short time, so we have plenty of time. But look at Hu Yaozong, he led the army to drive all civilians away, and he is not allowed to carry gold, silver, and fines, or even food. You know very well what this means. Hu Yaozong got the property of as many as 800,000 civilians. At the cost, Lifeng City has endured unprecedented logistical pressure. The people complained about this, and some even shouted the slogan of rebellion. If I compress the military rations and provide them to the civilians at this time, the result will be that the army and the civilians will riot together, and there will be no more northern defense line. The Dragon Clan took advantage of the chaos to send troops, and the agreement was just a piece of waste paper."

Hu Yaozong felt a little faceless when he was criticized by Wu Lin. His dignity as a king made him unable to bow his head and admit defeat. He could only blush and roared anxiously in depression and rage: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier? You didn't even mention a word in several secret letters."

"Do I dare?" Wu Lin once again overwhelmed the tiger king with a violent roar, questioning: "Blood Claw City is the world of the royal family. I can't even protect my own family, so I can only watch them die tragically. Do you think I dare to stand up and speak loudly like before?"

"Secret letter? Hum... The officers guarding the city are all from Hu Yaozong, and he will read any letters from Lifeng City in advance. If there are any remarks that are unfavorable to him, he will directly detain the letters, and you can't even see a word."

Hu Yaoxian was shocked and angry. He asked in disbelief: "Is there such a thing? Are you sure you didn't lie?"
