After the words fell, everyone was stunned.
"What does it mean to strike first? Xiaofan, you mean that we should strike first?" Liu Yong opened his mouth wide.
"Yes,"
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at the people in Lijiazhai in the distance. He said, "Because the result is the same. Whether we go or stay, we will be caught up by the people in Lijiazhai and a conflict will break out. The only difference is the intensity of the conflict. In this case, let's take action first."
“The people of Lijiazhai are keeping their troops in place on the surface, because they are not sure whether we will go to help Gujiazhai. Even if we go over, they are probably speculating whether we are going to help the people of Gujiazhai and will never see through our true purpose.
Therefore, we will just pretend to be passing by, and when we get close, we will suddenly attack. I will shoot the two archers immediately to prevent them from posing a threat to us. At a distance of 200 meters, there won’t be many of them left when they rush over. Then, Uncle Liu, you guys can go up and catch them all in one fell swoop.”
After saying that, Chen Fan felt somewhat fortunate that the opportunity to strengthen his skills was not used.
Now, it comes in handy.
"hiss…"
Everyone understood what Chen Fan meant, including Chen Guodong, who all gasped.
This is to kill people.
And it’s not just killing one person, it’s killing dozens!
"Dad, uncles, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to do this."
Seeing this, Chen Fan sighed, "But we have no choice, unless we are willing to hand over the prey to others."
As soon as these words were mentioned, the anger of everyone present suddenly rose.
"Xiao Fan is right!"
Gao Yang was the first to speak up: "Damn it, although these beasts have never killed anyone, they have robbed so many people of their prey and killed so many people. Killing them is also the way of justice!"
"That's right! Don't you know the people from Lijiazhai? Last time, not only did they steal our prey, they also mocked us, saying that if they had done this earlier, nothing would have happened. This time, they will definitely not let us go. In that case, we should strike first!"
"Yes, I have tolerated them for a long time! We all have one head on two shoulders, so who is afraid of whom?"
Five or six people followed suit,
Only Chen Guodong and the bald man were left.
"Guodong,"
Feeling the gazes coming towards him, the bald man said, "I think what Xiaofan said makes sense. Even if the people of Lijia Village let us go today for the sake of our prey, what about next time, and the time after that? They will only get worse. Unless we move our entire village, it's probably more dangerous outside than here."
"But, wouldn't it be too cruel for us to do this?"
One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but said, "They did steal our prey, but, but they didn't intend to kill us. We can just help the people in Gujiazhai, beat them up and drive them away, right?"
"After stealing the prey, you still say you haven't killed it?" Gao Yang snorted coldly.
"Yes, how many people starved to death because of them?"
The man suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Guodong.
Chen Guodong's expression was complicated at this moment.
He knew that what Chen Fan said made sense and was the most beneficial choice for the village.
But isn’t this method really too cruel
There was one more thing that he couldn't bear.
That means there are nearly a hundred people in Lijiazhai. These people are the sons of the elderly, the husbands of the women, and the fathers of the children. If they die here, how will the people in Lijiazhai survive
"Guodong, don't hesitate!"
Gao Yang said anxiously: "If we delay any further, the people in Gujiazhai will give in and we will miss the opportunity."
"Yeah, Guodong, have you forgotten how he ridiculed us last time? He even slapped you before he left. Have you forgotten all this?"
"Guodong, take a step back, or else it will get worse!"
Chen Guodong clenched his fists, his face showing a look of struggle.
"dad,"
Chen Fan saw the struggle in his heart and advised him again: "I know you may be worried about these people getting into trouble. How will the people in Lijiazhai survive? Actually, I don't know either, but I think that at this time, the first thing we should consider is whether our own people can survive."
These words seemed to touch Chen Guodong's soul.
He was startled.
Yes, hasn’t he always wanted to keep the people in the village alive
If we bring back less prey, one more person will starve. If we bring back half as much, half of the people will go hungry. If we can't even protect the people around us, what's the point of talking about protection
"good."
He nodded heavily, his eyes showing the same determination as always.
Seeing this, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chen Fan and Chen Guodong, father and son, had different opinions, it would be difficult for them to do anything.
Fortunately, the team reached a consensus.
As for whether they could defeat Lijiazhai, they felt that it would not be a problem. After all, Xiaofan's strength was obvious to all.
But at this moment, Liu Yong thought of something. He glanced at the people from Gujiazhai and said worriedly, "Xiaofan, the people from Gujiazhai are with the people from Lijiazhai. If you shoot arrows, will you accidentally hurt them?"
Chen Fan was also stunned by this question.
He instinctively thought that the possibility was not high, but it is better to be safe than sorry. If the situation gets chaotic, it is really uncertain. Besides, the bow in his hand has a pulling force of 100 kilograms, which can shoot through ferocious beasts, and it is not difficult to shoot through people who are not wearing protective gear.
If we accidentally hurt people from Gujiazhai, it would be hard to explain.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and things seemed to have reached a deadlock again.
“Yes.”
An idea suddenly occurred to Chen Fan. "Then we don't need to use the plan of surprise attack. Instead, we should lure the enemy deeper into our territory."
"Lure the enemy deeper?"
"How do you lure the enemy deeper into your territory?"
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears and asked at once.
"It's very simple, just ignore Gujiazhai for now..."
At this point, only Chen Guodong's face changed slightly, but he did not interrupt and continued to listen.
"Seeing that we have so many prey and we can't run fast, if nothing unexpected happens, the people from Lijiazhai will definitely catch up with us. We will pretend to run away to let them down. When they are all within range, I will take action decisively. In this way, we can not only eliminate the people from Lijiazhai, but also ensure that no one is injured by mistake.
The downside is that it might make the people in Gujiazhai feel a little disappointed, but when the dust settles, we return their stolen prey and it won’t matter anymore.”
Chen Fan smiled.
“That’s a good idea.”
Chen Guodong let out a long sigh.
If he really gave up on Gujiazhai, he wouldn't say much, but when he thought about it later, he would inevitably feel a little guilty.
“I think this method is good too.”
"That's it!"
Liu Yong, Gao Yang and others all agreed.
