Chapter 6 After drinking the wine three times, Li Xu began to discuss with the elders in detail the terms of the peace negotiation that were relatively beneficial to both sides. He had previously promised not to drive the warriors of the Sing tribe to fight for him. At this moment
Naturally, we must stick to this promise, but as the defeated ones, the Zhulin tribe must also pay the price for their recklessness. Especially the Su Chuifu family, which sent the tribes to the battlefield, even though they are not present today, must still assume the responsibility of the common leader of the tribe.
Responsibilities
Therefore, the thirteen major tribes of the Lin tribe must immediately break camp and retreat northward after the peace talks. Li Xu does not want them to immediately compensate for the war losses in the Central Plains with cattle and sheep, but the tribes must take one hundred good horses every year within the next five years.
One hundred strong cattle and one thousand sheep were transported to Boling to atone for today's recklessness. If the livestock suffered losses during transportation, the herdsmen of the Xi tribe would be responsible for making up for it. The Boling army would only accept the actual number of cattle and sheep that arrived.
The Boling Army does not plunder the women of the tribe, but while retreating, the thirteen members of the Lin tribe must explain the kindness of the Central Plains soldiers to all the tribes they meet on the way, and frankly tell the bravery of the Central Plains soldiers to those who meet them.
From the perspective of an onlooker, Dani saw that the Zhulin tribe took a big advantage in this clause. In fact, even if Xuzi did not ask for this, they would exponentially exaggerate the power of the Central Plains army. They could only exaggerate the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains army.
In the sky, the Zhulian tribe will not be discovered by their neighbors. Only then can they survive the blow of defeat and recover little by little.
The third condition proposed by Li Xu was too cunning in Dani's opinion. It was the cunningness of a mature man, and it was very exciting for women. The content of the condition was that the Boling Army did not kill the men of the Zhulin tribe in accordance with the grassland tradition.
Ding punished them for their offense, but the elders of the thirteen tribes must immediately send messengers to the foot of the Great Wall to withdraw the most elite warriors from each tribe. At the same time, the elders must depose Su Chu, the great Khan of the tribe, and re-elect Bai Bai.
leader of swans
"Fu Li, Master Fu Li, Su Chui, Su Chui Fuli has Ashina Gutuolu as his backer!" Na Miye and others did not dare to break the oath they had just made, so they had to beg Li Xugao to raise his noble hand in a supplicating tone.
One of the important reasons why the tribes abandoned their original common leader and chose the Su Chuo family was because of the marriage bond between Tao Kuo Tuosi and Gu Tuolu.
Even if the Lin tribe is the strongest, and with the support of the Turkic royal court, even if the elders reach a consensus to abolish the Su Chuai tribe, I am afraid that it won’t be long before everyone still has to succumb to the hooves of the Su Chu tribe.
"Even after you make a decision, the first person Gutuolu will look for is me, not you. If Gutuolu dares to use troops against you, I will lead the Central Plains soldiers to attack his lair!" Li Xu thought for a while and was very confident.
promise
"Thank you, Master Fuli!" Brother Shetosha was afraid that Miye would say something that would make Li Xu unhappy, so he quickly agreed on behalf of everyone that Su Chuanbu would have Gu Tuolu as his backer, but everyone could also let Master Fuli do it.
No matter how powerful everyone's backer Gutuolu is, he is just a small Turk. Master Fuli is now at least a small Khan in the Central Plains. In terms of strength, he is no worse than Gutuolu!
Moreover, in the fight with Lord Fuli, it is not certain whether Gutuolu and Suchufuli will return alive, so why should everyone lose the favor of Lord Fuli for the sake of two dying people?
There is another favorable condition that Li Xu can provide, but what Ashina Gutuolu cannot provide anyway is the food for each tribe to survive the next winter. In Brother Shetusha's memory, people in the Central Plains rarely suffer from food shortages.
Since it is impossible to obtain supplies for the tribe through war, other means can still be used to bring the tribe back to life.
Thinking of this, he rubbed his thighs that were numb from sitting on his knees and asked in a tentative tone, "Master Fuli, your warehouse in Suchuangbu has been occupied by Suchufuli. If the war is over, can you go back?"
Send people to open a warehouse in our tribe?"
"Yes, but you must ensure the safety of merchants in the Central Plains!" Li Xu thought for a while and agreed to pass another warehouse of the Khitan Department. He already knew the outcome of the warehouse he set up in the Su Chuan Department. Over the years, the two warehouses have not only provided
He provided a huge amount of wealth and raised a large number of war horses for the Boling Army. The loss of one of them by Leather would have a great impact on the future development of the Boling Army.
shortcomings
"Yes, is it possible? Can you ask Lord Fuli to show mercy and send a caravan to transport a batch of food in the autumn?" Seeing Li Xu's readily agreed, Brother Shetusha prayed again.
"Food?" Li Xulu was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered the important reason why various tribes moved south in large numbers. The population of each tribe was not large. If trading some grain could weaken the war, why wouldn't he do it? "Not in spring and summer.
After autumn, there will be caravans coming to your tribe to trade. If necessary, you can also send caravans to Zhuojun to exchange war horses, calves and leather for grain and salt, and spread the news. Anyone who has not followed Ashi
The tribes that the family invades from the south, or the tribes that return after getting lost, can go south to Zhuo County to buy life-saving grain. Those who insist on following the Ashina family to invade the south will only come with a knife and not a single grain of grain."
"Thank you, Master Fuli!" Brother Shetusha pressed his hands on the ground and knocked his head heavily. With Li Xu's promise, even if most of the thirteen tribes cannot breed many animals in summer, they will not starve to death in winter.
As long as too many people survive the most difficult period, the grass will sprout, the cattle and sheep will give birth, and the warriors of the Xi tribe will be able to conquer the weak and weak around them and ensure the continuity of their race with their accumulated strength.
"Fu Li, Master Fu Li treats us like reborn parents, and we are willing to worship you as the messenger of the Silver Wolf forever!" Yelibabiqi said, not wanting to let Brother Shetosa take all the benefits by himself.
"Master Fu Li is originally the Silver Wolf messenger designated by the Changsheng Heaven!" Bishi Na Miye glanced at him and said loudly, "It is the people of the Su Chuo tribe who were blinded by the devil and rejected the gift of the Changsheng Heaven. Therefore, I must
The Consciousness Department hereby swears that it would rather destroy the whole clan than obey the orders of the Su Chuu Department!"
"I swear this oath!"
"I swear by the Map Department!"
The ministers and elders knew that the situation of Su Chu's attachment was over, and they would simply cut off their wrists. But they could also see through the evil thoughts in the hearts of Brother Shetsha and Bishina Miye at a glance.
If the Suchu tribe loses the qualification to lead the White Swans, the next strongest ones will be the Shetuo tribe and the Bishi tribe. That’s why the two tribes are so fawning and flattering to Lord Fuli. But one of these two tribes became the White Swan tribe.
The leader of the swans is really unacceptable
The leader of the Shetuo Tribe is too young and a bit overbearing. The elder Shetuo Shage is too cunning. With this tribe as the leader, other tribes will definitely be oppressed. You must know the tribe, let alone mention it. Na Miye is known as the old fox and is born bright.
Take advantage and don't suffer losses. Let the people in the Must Knowledge Department wear swan crowns. The swans will definitely only fly in the eyes of money!
After much thought, everyone was hesitant about who to choose as the new swan leader. Although Li Xu did not order everyone to make a choice today, without a leader as the core, it would be difficult for everyone to jointly fight against the threat of the Su Chuan tribe.
The eyes must know that Mi Ye and Brother Shetsha are both mature people. How could they not guess what the other elders were thinking? They looked at each other, nodded to each other, then walked a few steps on their knees, and stood together in front of Li Xu.
I can't afford to kneel down, "The white swan has lost its leader, and I don't know where the road ahead is. Since Changshengtian has chosen Master Fu Li to guide us, we are willing to recommend Master Fu Li as our leader, and offer the swan crown with both hands."
!”
"The Yeli Department is willing to follow you!" Yeliba Biqi made a fool of himself before, and this time he immediately seized the opportunity to please Li Xu. If we are just vassals, everyone's future life and death will have little to do with the Silver Wolf Messenger in front of us. But if
Everyone has become his herdsman, so he can't just watch everyone starve to death
Anyone who can achieve the position of an elder is as cunning as a fox. Hearing the words of Brother Shetosa, Yelibabiqi and others, he immediately understood the twists and turns. Immediately, the thirteen elders immediately pushed away the table and arrived at the same time.
Li Xu knelt in front of him and vowed to represent the entire tribe and worship Lord Li as the head of the White Swan.
"When the white swans flap their wings, there is no mountain in the world that they cannot fly over. The white swans are lined up like a human being, and no wind or rain can stop them from flying..." Regardless of whether Xuzi agreed or not, the elders sang with tears in their eyes about Brother Shetsha's story.
They have all heard of the dream of a silver wolf with wings. Isn't Master Fu Li who flew over mountains and rivers a silver wolf with wings?
"Everyone, get up quickly, get up!" Li Xu didn't expect that the negotiation would end like this at the end. Being a general manager of six counties has exhausted him. If he also takes care of the chores on the grassland, he may be in trouble in the future.
Tired to death
"If you don't agree, the descendants of the white swan will lose their way. The white swans who have lost their direction will only fall into the hunter's trap!" Brother Shetsha cried and kowtowed, and his gray hair fell down like a scorpion trembling in the wind.
withered grass
Xuzi couldn't bear to let the other party beg her like this, and she didn't want to get more entangled in this matter. After thinking about it, she responded in a low voice: "This matter, this matter needs to be said slowly. The war is coming, and I don't have time to care about the people on the grassland for the time being.
matter"
"The Khans on our grasslands are not as troublesome as the officials in the Central Plains!" Bishi Na Miye heard Li Xu's loose tone and quickly reminded her loudly.
The Great Khan of the Lin tribe only has his own set of operating rules within the tribes' co-owners. The Great Khan rarely intervenes except when there is a dispute between tribes or when he declares war on tribes of other ethnic groups.
The Great Khan needs to come forward. In addition, the tribe where the Great Khan belongs is also responsible for the mutual cooperation between subordinate tribes, such as material exchange, disaster relief and other scheduling tasks, and draws a certain percentage of rewards from them.
If the Great Khan has a strong desire for power, such as Su Chuipei, he can use his authority to let the white swans fly in the direction of their own accord.
But for a person who doesn't have a strong desire for power, the Great Khan is actually a big shopkeeper who can't handle it, and he's very easy to do it.
