Chapter 1024: Entering the hinterland, Shen Tang requested
"how?
We are here, isn’t Clan Chief Ma going to let us sit in the clan?”
Murong Zhong laughed and said.
Ma Xinghua's face was full of bitterness. These people seemed to be coming with bad intentions! But, could he disagree now?
"Clan Chief Ma, after all, everyone is one of our own! With Chief Ma's hospitality, naturally he won't refuse!"
Shentu Mou on the side said calmly, "General Division, our army will go directly to the Mahu tribe's ancestral land to camp and renovate, so that we can renew our old friendship with the leader of the Mahu tribe!"
"wait wait wait!"
Ma Xinghua quickly spoke!
"Ma Xinghua, are you planning to shut us out? The Jiazong tribe is your clan, and I, the elder, and General Shen are guests from afar. Is this how your tribe treats guests?"
Or are you saying that what you said before were just words and not true?"
Seeing the indifferent look on Shen Tang's face and the joking expression on Shen Tumo's face, especially the murderous aura emanating from the army behind them, Ma Xinghua finally understood that no matter what these people were here to do, he had no reason or strength to refuse.
In other words, what if he really blocked these people out this time?
I'm afraid that when they come again next time, they will attack directly! Even if it is just these soldiers and horses in front of me, it is a question whether my tribe can resist it.
"Don't dare!"
Ma Xinghua gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, please!"
With a look of despair, Ma Xinghua led the army slowly towards the ancestral land. He knew very well that when this army entered the tribe's ancestral land, the entire tribe would be at the mercy of others.
However, the only thing that made him somewhat confused was whether the purpose of these people was to help the Jiazong tribe annex the Mahu tribe, or to completely annihilate the Mahu tribe!
"Brother, our Mahu tribe has always been respectful to the Jiazong tribe in the past few months! Brothers, if you come here, we will never shirk any requests you have!"
Ma Xinghua came close to Murong Zhong and said with a bit of flattery! The situation has changed. Previously, he wished he didn't even know the name of this small person in the small clan. However, now it is possible to decide the fate of the tribe, and he cannot tolerate Ma Xinghua not being able to do so. Bow your head.
"This time Elder Shentu and General Shen came here, what happened?
If there is anything that needs help from the Mahu Department, we will naturally do our best. Whether it is money, food or people, as long as I, Ma Xinghua, can provide it, I will never refuse it! Although I, Ma Xinghua, are not a good person, I also know that loyalty is two things. Since we have become a subordinate tribe of Jiazong tribe, we will naturally not disobey orders."
"Do not worry!"
Murong Zhong laughed and said, "Coming to your Mahu tribe this time is not a bad thing! Maybe it will be of great benefit to your Mahu tribe! You are right, you are a subordinate tribe of Jiazong tribe, In this case, we are a family!"
After listening to Murong Zhong's words, Ma Xinghua felt a little relieved and could only bite the bullet and lead the army into the tribe.
After entering the hinterland of Mahu tribe, Shi Ying led the army to camp and rest, while Shen Tang and his party, led by Ma Xinghua, entered the attic where he lived to discuss matters!
After everyone sat down, before Ma Xinghua could speak, Shen Tang said bluntly, "Clan Chief Ma, this time I personally came to the Wumeng Mountain area to completely wipe out all the tribes of this generation! These tribes may be attached to me, but they are not. If you obey, even though I don't want to, I have no choice but to kill you.
Ma Hubu is considered his own family, so I don’t need to beat around the bush!"
"Now, I want to know the choice of Chief Ma!"
Shen Tang's words made Ma Xinghua's heart skip a beat. Not to mention Shen Tang's purpose, he knew very well that this time was definitely different from the last time, and just a verbal agreement was enough!
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Xinghua asked anxiously, "General, we are a subordinate tribe of the Jiazong tribe, so we naturally surrender to the general! No matter what the general orders, all of us in the Mahu tribe will obey!"
Shen Tang chuckled softly, "I am naturally most satisfied that Chief Ma has such a choice! Then, from now on, the Mahu Tribe will merge with the Jiazong Tribe!"
"ah?"
Ma Xinghua exclaimed, "Fusion?"
"Excuse me, General, how to integrate?"
"The ancestral land of the Mahu tribe can be retained, but some tribesmen need to migrate and integrate directly into the Jiazong tribe! In addition, all the finances and grains of the Mahu tribe will be uniformly distributed by the Jiazong tribe! The Mahu tribe's All warriors will directly join my army and accept my dispatches and orders!"
Shen Tang said calmly.
"This..." Ma Xinghua's face was full of horror. Although this is not considered genocide, what is the difference between it and genocide?
"General!"
Ma Xinghua gritted his teeth and said, "I, the Mahu tribe, have inherited it for many years. Please ask the general to leave us a way to survive! Otherwise, how can I, Ma Xinghua, face my ancestors!"
"We are willing to accept the dispatch of the general, and all our forces can obey the orders of the general! However, please allow our Mahu tribe to continue to survive independently. We will always admit that we are a subordinate tribe of the Jiazong tribe and will never rebel!"
"Chief Ma!"
Shen Tang sneered, "Do you think I am here to discuss with you?
In the rear, I still have tens of thousands of troops on standby. The reason why I personally came here and was willing to give you a chance instead of directly sending troops to exterminate the clan is because you understand the current situation.
I will not kill anyone from your Mahu tribe, nor will I let the Jiazong tribe suppress you, this is the bottom line!"
"You have no other choice, fight or surrender! I will give you one hour! Now, you can go and discuss with your subordinates!"
"This..." Shen Tang's words made Ma Xinghua despair. He smiled bitterly, "General, please wait a moment. This is a big event for our clan. I will discuss it with the clan and then I will reply to the general!"
After saying that, he walked out of the room with a bit of dejection!
"General, do you think the Mahu tribe will successfully join us?"
Shen Tumou asked curiously.
"This Ma Xinghua is a smart man. Last time, he did not hesitate to admit that he was a subordinate tribe of the Jiazong tribe. Moreover, during this period of time, he was extremely obedient to the orders of the Jiazong tribe! Therefore, he will make the right decision. Choose! This person can tolerate it, or in other words, as long as you are stronger than him, he will be obedient.
However, if there is a chance, he will never mind stabbing you in the back!"
"However, it is a pity that I will not give them this opportunity!"
"Later, gather the elite troops of the Mahu tribe and join forces directly with the division commanders and your troops. Disperse them all and don't give them a chance to rebel!"
