This year, most areas in northern Xinjiang are experiencing drought. In particular, the Helan tribe has very little hay in the autumn, which is not enough for the tribal livestock to survive the winter.
If we encounter another heavy snow disaster in winter, we don’t know how many cattle and sheep will starve to death!
Instead of doing this, it is better to sell a large number of cattle and sheep to Xiao Chen, so that the loss can be minimized, and there may even be no loss...
"You think it's strange. As soon as I saw Brother Huyan, I felt familiar, as if we were brothers in the previous life... No matter what the outcome of our negotiation is today, your friend and I, Xiao Chen, are determined to be yours.
I want all your cattle, sheep and horses! As much as you want, I can give you gold and silver to settle the settlement, or exchange them for goods!"
Xiao Chen said that we two brothers are personal friends. Since I consider you a friend, the benefits will definitely be great. Then you will see how I behave!
"Hey, Xiao Chen, you can't just trade with him. We all are negotiating together, how can we favor one over the other?" Gai He also became anxious. The situation of his Wuhuan tribe was similar to that of Helan. They were all fighting for cattle and sheep.
I have a headache because I have no grass to eat during the winter.
This year is the worst drought in decades. The elders in the tribe say that after the severe drought there will be heavy snow!
The hay that was originally harvested is not enough. If we encounter heavy snow again, life will be difficult for everyone this year.
A large number of cattle and sheep died of cold and starvation, so thousands of tribal people who made a living by shepherding would not be able to survive. If they could not survive, they would definitely cause trouble, and the rule of their tribe would also face great challenges.
The reason why they are willing to go out with Wanyan Pingqiu is actually to solve the big hidden danger they will face this year.
Waging a war can divert the internal conflicts within the tribe. Secondly, if they can rob some supplies and bring them back, it can also appease the emotions of the tribesmen. As long as they have food to eat and can survive this severe winter, they will not
There was a riot and rebellion.
"Prince Wanyan, look at this..." Even the cripple Bu He started to worry.
"Are everyone willing to negotiate peace with Xiao Chen?" Wanyan Pingqiu asked nonsense.
Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement. If, as Xiao Chen said, we can guarantee the supply of all the materials we need, and can exchange our cattle, horses and sheep, then we are willing, willing, willing!
"Since everyone means this, and I can't act arbitrarily, then just listen to everyone." Wanyan Pingqiu finally spoke up.
But he also has conditions.
First, it may be difficult for us to survive the winter this year. If we sell a large number of cattle and sheep to you, food will become a problem, so we need you to provide enough food to help us survive this cold winter.
Second, the conflict between us and the Xianbo tribe must be resolved. No matter who is right or wrong, this matter ends here. We can't rehash old scores in the future, and the Xianbo tribe can't send troops to attack any of our tribes. Otherwise,
This matter is also out of reach.
But for this we must exchange blood oaths with Prince Tuhungu of Xianbo!
Because you, Xiao Chen, can only represent Uluolan, but you cannot represent Tuhungu.
Third, we trust Li Tanhua, and we reluctantly trust you, but we don’t trust the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty either. We can refrain from sending troops to invade your Yanyun County for five years, but if the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty mobilizes an army to Yanyun County during this period,
What should we do? Can we just wait at home for them to attack us?
Therefore, it must be stated in the contract that as soon as we learn that Dazhou has sent an army to station in Yanyun County, our agreement will be immediately void!
fourth……
Xiao Chen agreed to the following conditions without hesitation.
But the first three conditions still need to be discussed.
The first is the food problem. Xiao Chen cannot guarantee this at the moment. He can only try his best to do it, because it is simply impossible to transport so much food by land. Firstly, the journey is long and it is even more difficult to travel after snow. Secondly, Li Wanjiang
It will definitely not be allowed.
Can only be shipped by sea.
Shipping must go through downwind ports. Now Old Man Chen is negotiating with the Russians, and the outcome is yet to be known.
Xiao Chen told the truth, because that's the truth.
Xiao Chen can't give a guarantee for the second article, because this must obtain Tuhungu's consent in advance. As Wanyan Pingqiu said, he can only represent Uluolan and cannot represent the entire Xianbo tribe.
If we estimate according to common sense, Tuhungu should agree to the reconciliation. He is not willing to be enemies of Wanyan Pingqiu and so many other tribes, isn't he?
But until we make a blood oath with him, all this remains unknown.
It cannot be written into the covenant.
The third item is the most important, and the situation is also the most complicated. Xiao Chen is a little hesitant to tell Wanyan Pingqiu and the others directly?
"Haha, your first two explanations are quite reluctant, but why are you hesitating on this one? Do you also know that once the Emperor of Zhou breathes his last breath, he will immediately send troops to attack us? And now you have formed a bond with us
Is the covenant just a tactic used by Li Wanjiang to delay the war?" Wanyan Pingqiu sneered.
"Let's form an alliance." Xiao Chen pondered for a long time and made up his mind, "A life and death covenant!"
"Hahaha, you want to form an alliance before this is settled, you are... what did you say?" Wanyan Pingqiu laughed for a long time before realizing that Xiao Chen was talking about a life and death covenant!
"I do not represent the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, but only represent me, Xiao Chen, to form a life-and-death covenant with all of you here! No matter who invades any of us, others must send troops to try their best to help. If this oath is violated, heaven will strike with thunder.
, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and he will enter the eighteenth level of hell after death!" Xiao Chen said.
"Representing you personally? Then if Emperor Zhou sends troops to wipe out us, you will also..." Wanyan Pingqiu looked in disbelief. Is Xiao Chen crazy?
"I said, no matter who attacks any of us, they are our common enemy!" Xiao Chen said.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and looked at each other in confusion.
Does your boy want to openly rebel and establish himself as king in Yanyun County?
"If Li Wanjiang sends troops, the first one to attack will not be us, but Mr. Xiao." Dugulou, who had been silent, spoke again.
One sentence hits the point.
Oh...it seems like you guys understand a little bit.
But he still expressed shock. Xiao Chen is very ambitious!
Is this because he wants to sit down in Yanyun County, but I don’t know if he has such a big butt?
"The one who knows me is Mr. Dugu." Xiao Chen could only say this.
If Wanyan Pingqiu is smart enough, he will immediately agree to form an alliance. If he is a useless snack, then it is okay not to conclude an alliance with him!
"Okay, let's form an alliance!" Wanyan Pingqiu thought for a moment before agreeing, "But this matter is important, and I can only make a verbal contract with you on my behalf!"
Wanyan Pingqiu is just a little prince, and he cannot represent the Mojie Kingdom.
But he agreed to form an alliance with Xiao Chen in his own name.
The two of them could only understand the subtleties here leisurely. This chapter has been completed!
