Naruto Puppet Master

But at this time, Ouyang Ke asked in person, could Yelu Jinshi really not tell him? .

Obviously this is not possible. No one is really a fool. Therefore, when Yelu Jinshi heard Ouyang Ke's questioning, he just gritted his teeth and confessed honestly. He understood that being asked meant that he still knew some information, but did he know anything? If everything is explained clearly, I'm afraid only he himself will know.

Anyway, Ouyang Ke thought it was impossible for this guy to tell the truth, and he was probably trying to survive by cutting off his tail.

But it doesn't matter. I don't intend to give him a way to survive anyway. I just need to verify the authenticity of his confession first, and then torture him to extract a confession. The Ghost Face Army, which inherited the drug torture method from the previous world, is the best at this.

"I will leave him to you for the time being. Make sure what he says is true. If it is true, reward him well. If it is false, you can figure it out." After listening to what Yelu Jinshi said a lot, Ouyang Ke said to Yinmian casually.

"Yes, Master." Ghost Shura responded respectfully.

"Well, the problem in the Western Region has been initially solved." Looking at the troops outside who began to clean the battlefield and collect arrows, Ouyang Ke's face showed joy.

Three days later, Ouyang Ke received the news that the Black Wind Bandits, who were attacked from both sides, had become history.At this point, Ouyang Ke had taken over the biggest resistance in the Western Region. The three major bandits had all fallen one after another. The entire eastern part of the Western Region and most of the central region no longer had strong resistance.

Half a month later, Ouyang Ke's main force reunited the three scattered armies and met with the Eastern Western Region and the Central Western Region. The heads of the various large and small forces were based on the intelligence collected by the Ghost Face Army to implement or implement plans for the leaders or kings of these small forces. After the beating or comforting meeting, Ouyang Ke sent them back to work.

Due to his own strength and manpower issues, although Ouyang Ke conquered these small forces, he currently does not have enough manpower to directly govern and control the vast Western Region. Therefore, he can only set up regulations and laws and send a small number of personnel as representatives. Stationed there to supervise the enforcement of regulations.

Of course, everyone knows that the people who were sent there are just representatives on face. In fact, the entire central and eastern and western regions are still monitored secretly by a larger number of ghost-faced troops. At the same time, they coordinate with the three troops stationed in The white camel cavalry of this place.

Relying on the intelligence of the Ghost Face Army and the camel cavalry whose number expanded to more than [-] people, they achieved substantial control over the Western Region.

Of course, in order to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, and to speed up the cultivation of his own power, Ouyang Ke also ordered that all children between the ages of ten and 15 and some young adults in these areas be transferred.

The former can be cultivated as one's central subordinates, while the latter can not only be recovered as subordinates, but if not, they can also be dragged to do hard work. At the same time, without these strong young men and children, those small countries that still have a lot of autonomy will rebel. The price immediately became a serious price that they could not bear in a short period of time.

At the same time, after roughly arranging everything in the Western Region and leaving behind his backup, Ouyang Ke hurriedly returned to Baituo with his 1000 crossbow troops, more than [-] miscellaneous soldiers, and the replenished [-] cavalry. Mountain.

It's not that Ouyang Ke doesn't want to stay in the Western Regions and arrange everything properly, but he has to consider the feelings of the Western Liao Kingdom, which is close to the Western Regions and even occupies some of the rich lands in the Western Regions.

Even though there were many internal conflicts in Xiliao at this time, the two fighting parties could not ignore each other and deal with him, but that was only if the barren Western Region would not threaten them. They defeated the three sand bandits and conquered the entire eastern part of the Western Region and a large area of ​​the central part. If Ouyang Ke in the region continues to stay in the Western Region and strives to rectify the population and military strength, he will feel very threatening.

Even if it is impossible to threaten the Xiliao Kingdom, it is definitely capable of threatening a certain force in its country.

When the time comes, the result that awaits Ouyang Ke is either to win over him from both sides or to strangle him under the joint efforts of the other party.

This is actually not necessary for Ouyang Ke, because it sits in the eastern and central parts of the Western Region. Although the population and materials are still scarce, the White Camel Mountain, which covers all the Silk Roads, will only become more and more popular in the future. rich.

As time goes by, as long as Ouyang Ke is willing to spend money, food, weapons and insufficient supplies can be bought and sold from the Central Plains. Neither the wealthy Southern Song Dynasty nor the corrupt Jin Kingdom will refuse such good things as money, and even Even the most troublesome population issue, Ouyang Ke had thought about it and went to the grassland tribes to buy it.

The tribes on the grasslands, where tribes are the way of civilization, still maintain the system of slave owners. They have been trading spirits or tea in exchange for horses for thousands of years, and it is absolutely impossible to refuse cheaper slaves in exchange. transaction.

Anyway, every year there are countless battles between tribes, and countless adult men on the grassland become slaves due to failure. For tribal adults, as long as all the slaves are not lost at once, they are really not even comparable to a lamb.

After the plan develops, within three to five years Ouyang Ke will even have the confidence to take over the entire Western Region by force and take a peek at Western Liao, or extend a hand to the grassland that is still in chaos.

Therefore, after roughly handling the land of the Western Regions, Ouyang Ke not only immediately led people back to Baituo Mountain, but also transferred a large number of people from the Western Regions back together. At the same time, he did not make any plans for the original area of ​​the Western Regions. No important government agencies were established.

Only about [-] camel cavalry were left stationed in the vast Western Region. They acted like the nomads who once occupied the Western Region. They only regarded the Western Region as a place of conquest. There was no blood-drawing pack. There is a hint of intention to directly rule this area.

Facts also proved that Ouyang Ke's worries were not unnecessary. Not long after he returned to Baituo Mountain, news came from the hidden line in Xiliao. Although the high-ranking nobles of Xiliao Kingdom did not think much of the people in the central and eastern parts of the country, The territory of the Western Region, but he was also very interested in the White Camel Mountain that suddenly appeared next to him and conquered most of the Western Region.

Some people even proposed to destroy Baituo Mountain and keep the Western Region in panic.

If it weren't for the internal division of the Western Liao Kingdom, neither party would be willing to send their own people to leave the country, so they wasted time arguing with each other. In addition, Ouyang Ke returned to Baituo Mountain in time, and he had no intention of returning to the Western Regions. With the news of great development, even if the Western Liao Kingdom does not send troops to intervene forcibly, it will at least exert pressure on this inexplicably rising force.

"Well, let the Ghost Face Army divide into three brigades to set up an underground department in the Western Liao Kingdom, specifically responsible for infiltrating the Western Liao King, the Western Liao Prince Consort and the neutral nobles."

"In addition to normal intelligence exploration, as long as it is not designed to target us or the Western Region and Central Plains region,

Let them do their best to deal with the incident and other matters. Their only main task is to ensure that no one of the leaders of the three parties, especially the king of Xiliao Kingdom and his consort, dies when they completely break up with each other. "In the vast hall, Ouyang Ke paused and continued to speak to Ghost Shura.

"Just in case, you send two Silver-faced Shura over there. The first one is responsible for what I just said. The other one should not interfere in anything. Just bring people to collect all the human and geographical information of Xiliao Kingdom for me. Especially information such as maps and martial arts treasures. Once collected, we will expand it to neighboring forces. Anyway, I don’t have too much information.”

"If the first silver face has an accident, let him step in urgently."

"It's the master." Ghost Shura below whispered respectfully: "I will let No. [-] and No. [-] pass."

As a mysterious Ghost-faced Army, what matters when performing tasks is discipline and the courage to sacrifice for the mission. Therefore, the upper and lower levels are clearly divided. In addition to Ghost Shura as the commander-in-chief, there are eight Silver-faced Shura envoys who are responsible for them. A ghost-faced army in an area.

Below the Silver-faced Shura there is the Bronze-faced Shura. During missions, the Bronze-faced Shura usually serves as the squad leader, and below that is the most common Iron-faced Shura.

In the Ghost Face Army, everything is calculated based on the task completion rate, whether it is rewards or positions. Therefore, those who can reach high positions in martial arts may not necessarily be very strong, but their abilities are definitely good.

"Well, let's do it! In Xingu, the land of the Western Region, the Ghost Face Army will send a large number of manpower there. Later, I will ask Afu to hand over a new batch of Ghost Face Army iron-faced novices to you as soon as possible. You can restore our presence in the Central Plains and the Central Plains as soon as possible. Super long-range strength." Ouyang Ke instructed.

"Yes, Master." Ghost Shura responded respectfully, and then left the hall with Ouyang Ke's wave.

After a while, Afu walked into the hall alone and said respectfully to Ouyang Ke: "Young Master, the princess has already made arrangements."

"Well, she will be one of my women from now on. Take good care of her, but you also have to teach her the rules. She must not touch things that he shouldn't touch." Ouyang Ke said lightly:

"Yes." Afu said respectfully.

"Also, how is the research on the precious snake prescription going?" Ouyang Ke asked again.

"After research by the medicine slaves, this prescription makes sense pharmacologically, but the various precious medicines needed to cultivate it are very large, and the innate nature of the medicinal snake as a seed directly determines the quality of the final product. Since the medicine is not effective, and it has not been actually cultivated, they cannot 100% guarantee that it will be successful." Afu said solemnly.

"I know this, but what about the time? Does it have to take about 20 years?" Ouyang Ke asked.

"Young Master, the medicine slaves said that it is difficult to change this 20 years, because it is a process of fusion and sublimation of countless strange medicines in the body of the medicine snake. Unless the fusion speed of the medicinal materials can be accelerated, we can only wait 20 years. Year."

"The speed of fusion of medicinal materials depends on the physical strength of the snake species that is cultivated as a medicinal snake. The stronger the body, the faster the fusion of medicinal materials in its body, and the stronger its toxicity, the final medicinal effect it can achieve The effect will be better.”

"A powerful snake species?" He frowned and relaxed, Ouyang Ke said with a sigh of relief: "I will go to the Central Plains in a few days, and I may bring back a snake species that is more venomous than ordinary snakes. Much stronger.”

"You go back and ask the medicine slaves to do more research and start collecting the needed medicinal materials. At the same time, you also send some ghost-faced troops to the south of the Central Plains to have a look. The climate there is warm and humid, which is very good for the living environment of snakes. It should be able to We have collected information about the powerful snake species." Ouyang Ke instructed.

"Young Master, you are going to the Central Plains!" Afu said in surprise: "What about the Western Regions! Even if there is a flying eagle to send a message, it is too far from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. I am afraid that the emergency situation will not be dealt with in time!"

"I know, but I left White Camel Mountain and went to the Central Plains just for the stability of the Western Region."

"Afu, although no one has intervened in our occupation of the Western Region, it does not mean that everyone is really relieved. If I just squat on the White Camel Mountain and there is no movement, I will not be able to reassure everyone. Yes, on the contrary, the smarter the person, the more doubtful he may be.”

"Subsequent temptations will definitely follow, and the more temptation we have, the more we may be exposed."

"But it will be different if I go to the Central Plains later. Although I really have something to go there, I believe that when the secret power information of the Xiliao Kingdom knows that I left my family business and went to the Central Plains to join those rivers and lakes, When we are in the muddy waters of reckless forces, the conspiracy speculations of those wise men who regard the country as their great cause should disappear."

"A person who abandons his family business and runs out to play at a critical moment is obviously not a very threatening person, at least not for now." Ouyang Ke said solemnly: "Only in this way, we have dealt with several batches Only after testing can you truly settle down.”

"As for the stability of the Western Region, I have established regulations before and they are enough to protect our interests. So although it is rough, you just need to abide by the regulations and do things. In that case, there may be small conflicts, but nothing will happen. Big problem."

"We who use our strength to convince people don't need to pay too much attention to the problems of those losers. If we find something wrong, we will kill them directly. The Western Region is not a place of benevolence, justice and morality. Whoever has the biggest fist will speak the truth."

"I understand, slave." After hearing Ouyang Ke's explanation, Afu could only respond respectfully.

Well, and I have collected tens of thousands of people in the Western Region this time. All the children under ten years old will be trained by you to become dead soldiers. Those over ten and under fifteen will be recruited into the group of strong men for training. Grant him superficial martial arts skills and train him to become a loyal subordinate.

"As for those over 15 years old, pick out a few quick martial arts books with strong side effects and let them do dangerous things for us while identifying their loyalty. If they are successful, we will collect them." Ouyang Ke listed them one by one.

"Yes, young master, I will definitely make arrangements." Afu responded again.

"Besides, I just told Ghost Shura that the Ghost Faced Army is relatively short of manpower. You should immediately send all your men there!"

"Yes, I met Ghost Shura when I just came here. Now my men should have sent Ghost Shura there." Afu replied.

"That's good." Ouyang Ke nodded and said.

"You go down first! I will set off the day after tomorrow, so you should prepare first."

"Yes, my lord."
