Since the Nanjiang Tribe has agreed to join the Haotian Tribe, it will not be too difficult to capture the western wing of the Xue Man Tribe.

After all, the entire western wing of the Xue Man tribe only has a population of 50,000 to 60,000 at most, while the Nanjiang tribe has a population of tens of thousands.

In other words, the young men that can be drawn from the Nanjiang tribe account for about 20% of the entire western wing of the Xue Man tribe.

Last time, nearly half of the young men pulled out by Xue Man's tribe from the west wing were captured by his Haotian tribe. Now it would be good if other tribes could pull out 5,000 young men.

Zhao Hao estimated that it should not be a problem for the Nanjiang tribe to pull out two thousand young men. If he could equip these two thousand young men with swords, spears, swords and halberds, then the Nanjiang tribe would be enough to withstand all the other tribes on the west flank of the Xue Man tribe.

, and all he had to do was lead his army to attack Tu Meng's lair.

Of course, if more tribes can be won over, this battle will be easier.

After all, it is basically impossible for Wu Nanjiang to lead two thousand young men to deal with dozens of other tribes. At most, the Nanjiang tribe can contain other tribes and prevent other tribes from participating in the war. After taking Tumeng, there are still

He had to personally lead his troops to deal with other tribes one by one.

If so, it will take a long time.

Zhao Hao pondered for a while and then asked solemnly: "Nanjiang, if I ask you to persuade other tribes to join our Haotian tribe, how many people can you persuade? In other words, how many people can you persuade to join our Haotian tribe?"

department."

this!

When Wu Nanjiang heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He even came to meet with Zhao Hao in fear, fearing that others would know. If he went to persuade other tribes to join the Haotian Tribe, he would not be telling Tu Meng that he was a traitor!

If Tu Meng knew that he was a traitor, I'm afraid he would be dead before the Haotian army came over.

This matter is really difficult to handle!

He frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said carefully: "If I run to persuade other tribes now, Tu Meng will definitely receive the news, because he has bribed spies in various tribes. With his temperament, if he knows that I am

The traitor will not only kill me, but our Nanjiang Department will also be in trouble!"

This is indeed a trouble. He can't let others take risks. Zhao Hao thought for a moment, then took out a parchment roll, unfolded it, and took out a brush? Dip it in ink? Then he waved: "Here, give it to me.

Tell me? Where is Tumeng's lair probably? Where is your Nanjiang tribe, and where are the other tribes? Do you know the locations? Tell me all."

What does it mean?

Wu Nanjiang stood up curiously. When he walked to Zhao Hao and took a look, he suddenly understood.

This is a map, a map centered on the prairie.

But, right now? There are no markers on the entire north side of the map.

And this piece? It should be the west wing of Xue Man's tribe.

After all, the Nanjiang tribe is a large tribe with a long history. They also have a simple map, but they are not as good at drawing it as Zhao Hao.

He carefully looked at the wild jungle in the north of the map, then pointed to a place and said: "Our Nanjiang Department is roughly at this location? It is about four to five hundred miles away from the edge of the prairie."

Zhao Hao nodded slightly when he heard this, and then picked up a pen to mark the location of Nanjiang Department on the map.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Nanjiang pointed to a place east of the center of the west wing of Xue Man's tribe and said: "Tu Meng's lair is roughly here, about a thousand miles away from our Nanjiang tribe."

Zhao Hao nodded slightly again? Then he picked up the pen and marked Tu Meng's mark.

That's it? The two of them said something and drew a picture. Soon, the location of Xue Man's western wing was covered with marks on the map.

Finally, Wu Nanjiang concluded: "Tumeng is surrounded by tribes that are basically loyal to the Xue Man tribe, and those of us who have different intentions are almost all placed in the south. As for the north, because of the relationship with the Taihua tribe,

There are basically no tribes at the border, only the elite soldiers under Tu Meng are stationed there."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao nodded slightly and pondered for a while, then put down his brush and said decisively: "In the spring of next year, we will organize a large army to rush to your Nanjiang region. By then, you can persuade the tribes in the south to join us.

Haotian Department, do you think they will agree?"

With the protection of Haotian's army, he naturally doesn't have to worry about Tu Meng's revenge.

Wu Nanjiang thought for a while and then said slowly: "It's really hard to say. If I go to persuade them to side with us and not to help Tu Meng, they will generally agree and persuade them to give up their current territory and join Hao

Tianbu, I'm afraid it's difficult. After all, they have been living in this wild jungle for hundreds of thousands of years. As far as I know, many leaders don't want to leave their current territory. Even Tu Meng doesn't have this.

Method."

That's it.

Zhao Hao stared at the map and frowned in thought for a while, then continued to ask: "Then I just ask them to join the Haotian tribe without leaving their existing territory and follow us to the prairie. Will they agree?"

In fact, there was no need for him to move all these people to the prairie, because the western wing of Xue Man's tribe was also a large territory and needed people to garrison it.

If these people want to stay here, they can stay here. He has also saved a lot of cattle, sheep and horses.

Wu Jiangnan heard this, thought about it again, and then said cautiously: "If that's the case, I think they might agree, but if we can give them enough benefits, they will definitely agree."

benefit?

Zhao Hao asked: "What are the benefits you are referring to? Can you give an example?"

Wu Jiangnan said without thinking: "For example, cattle and sheep are what they need most. If we promise to provide them with how many cattle and sheep they need every year so that their people will not go hungry, they will definitely agree to join the Haotian tribe."

Cattle and sheep?

Zhao Hao asked again: "Approximately how many people are there in these tribes in total?"

Wu Jiangnan estimated: "The total number of people in these tribes is probably about 30,000."

About 30,000, which means at least 60,000 kilograms of meat is needed a day, which is equivalent to fifty or sixty cows or five or six hundred sheep. In one year, that is nearly 20,000 cows or 200,000 sheep. So much.

He can’t afford to provide human meat!

How to do it?

Zhao Hao couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought, and didn't say anything for a long time.

At this time, Ji Wei was already a little unable to sit still, because Zhao Hao and Wu Nanjiang had been discussing for a long time. He had such an active temper, so it was considered good to be able to sit still for such a long time.

When he saw that Zhao Hao seemed to be unable to think of a solution, he couldn't help but become anxious.

If you haven't said anything for a long time, how long will I have to sit here?

He couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? There are only 30,000 people. I, Western Qin, can support them. How can you not afford them?"

Yes, you can exchange beef, mutton or even horses for rice!

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ji Wei with approval, and then solemnly nodded and said: "No problem, I will help them raise these tribesmen. I can guarantee that these tribesmen will not be hungry, but I will not provide them with enough food."

It must be meat."

When Wu Nanjiang heard this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "If it's not meat, what is it?"

Zhao Hao explained: "As for meat, I definitely can't provide so much, but I can find a way to exchange it with the Taihua tribe for some rice. Rice is the staple food of the Taihua tribe. It can fill the stomach just like meat, but

It’s just not as delicious as meat.”

It doesn't matter if it tastes good or not, as long as it can fill the stomach. Since the people of the Taihua Tribe can eat it, the people of other tribes can naturally eat it too.
