In fact, before King Su Zhao Hongrun arrived in Sanchuan Luocheng, there was already a huge quarrel within the "Sichuan-Luo Alliance".
In the final analysis, it was because the "Wuxu Tribe" communicated with the "Jie Tribe" and the "Ling Tribe", secretly colluded with the Qin State, and raised troops to resist the Wei State.
Yes, strictly speaking it cannot be considered a "rebellion". After all, neither the Wusu tribe nor the Jie and Ling tribes have joined the Sichuan-Luo Alliance and become affiliated allies of the Wei State.
But one thing must be admitted. The three major tribes of Wuxu, Ling, and Jie colluded with the Qin State and caused the Qin Army to set foot on Sanchuan again. This has violated the regulations of the "Luoshui Alliance".
The regulations of the "Luoshui Alliance" stipulate that Sanchuan belongs to the people of Wei and Sichuan. However, when a third party attempts to capture this land, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance must send troops to fight. If the strength is insufficient, it can send troops to the host country, namely Wei.
The country asked for help. Moreover, tribes that violated the regulations and did things that endanger the interests of Sanchuan and Wei should be expelled from Sanchuan.
Simply put, in accordance with the oath of the "Luoshui Alliance", the Sichuan-Luo Alliance should expel the "Wuxu", "Jie", "Ling" and other tribes that violated the regulations, and unite with Wei to drive out the Qin army.
Out of Sanchuan.
In this matter, a problem arose - the "Wuxu Tribe" is not an ordinary tribe in the general sense. It is the royal court of all the tribes in Sanchuan. It belongs to the Yi people, the Jie people, and the Yi people.
The leader of the royal family is equivalent to the royal family of the Central Plains countries.
Therefore, being an enemy of the Wusu Royal Court is something that many tribes in Sanchuan resist from their own hearts. After all, the Wusu Royal Court has ruled these Sheang, Jie, and Yi tribes for a long time, that is, the Wusu
The royal court is now getting weaker and weaker, but many tribes still regard the Wuxu tribe as their leader.
Otherwise, how could the Wuxu tribe, whose strength is far inferior to the three Jie tribes of Jie, Ling and Yi, get the natural pasture with lush pastures of the "Lushi"?
But now, the Wusu Royal Court has openly stood up against Wei, which has put the Sichuan-Luo Alliance into a dilemma.
In early September, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance held an emergency internal discussion meeting.
The so-called internal discussion meeting is nothing more than a meeting at the level of the chiefs of several large tribes that control the entire Sichuan-Luo Alliance, such as Amutu, the chief of the Qingyang Tribe, Halegoh, the chief of the Aries Tribe, Qi Muke, the chief of the Gray Sheep Tribe,
Meng Liang, the chief of the Meng tribe, Lu Balong, the chief of the Lun tribe, and Erdemo, the chief of the Yi tribe who joined the Sichuan-Luo Alliance after the last "Wei-Qin Sanchuan Battle", are just a few.
"Is there anything worth discussing about this? Just follow the "Luoshui Alliance". Didn't they all make an alliance based on blood?"
At the conference table, Lu Balong, the leader of the Lun tribe, who was dressed more and more like a Wei man, said slowly with a big belly.
It has to be said that as the Lun tribe has become more and more wealthy over the years, Lu Balong, a once heroic Sheang warrior, has inevitably deteriorated. The strong muscles in the past have gradually been replaced by fat, but this does not affect his role in the Lun tribe at all.
Prestige within the tribe.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Lun tribe is one of the tribes that "converted to Wei people" the fastest. In addition to retaining the culture of the Yi people, the rest of their living habits, words and deeds are all closer to those of the Wei people.
Because of this, some people who were targeting Lu Balong secretly slandered him: the Lun clan had been reduced to the lackeys of the Wei people, and the Lun clan of the Yi tribe had long ceased to exist.
Lu Balon just sneered at this, thinking that it was some people who were jealous of him who were gossiping behind his back.
In the past, the Lun tribe of the Yi nationality was just a middle-class tribe that was not as good as the superiors. Every year when winter came, they were wary of fear that a sudden snowstorm would freeze the tribe's sheep to death and cause the entire tribe to perish.
Today, the Lun tribe is one of the few large tribes in the Sichuan-Luo Alliance. Although there are still only about 20,000 tribal members, it has hundreds of thousands of livestock. More importantly, the Lun tribe is the largest tribe in the Sichuan-Luo Alliance.
One of several slave traders.
Therefore, Lu Balong did not regret at all that he had taken refuge in His Highness Prince Su.
Or to put it simply, if he had known that taking refuge with His Highness King Su would enable the people in the tribe to live such a wealthy life now, he would have taken refuge with him a long time ago. Why should he be an enemy of His Highness King Su?
Thousands of heroic tribal warriors died in vain.
"The patriarch of Lu Balong is right, everything can be done in accordance with the "Luoshui Alliance"." Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng clan of the Yi people, also supported.
Compared with Lu Balong, who had fallen into a serious state, Meng Liang still retains a strong body. It can be seen that this patriarch is not out of shape due to drinks and women like the former, but it cannot be denied that this man wearing Wei
A patriarch who wears uniforms, a jade crown, and meticulously combed hair, his values are not the same as those of the past.
Looking at Lu Balong and Meng Liang, Halegoh, the leader of the Aries tribe, frowned slightly.
Because he saw that except for him and Amutu, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, who were still wearing sheepskin coats at the meeting, many other tribe chiefs began to imitate the Wei people, wearing brocade clothes, jade crowns, gold and silver, pretending to be nobles -
—But these people haven’t learned enough yet.
The aristocrats of the Wei people don't know how to wear gold and silver, okay? Only the nouveau riche would wear it like that!
"Sichuan people are transformed into Wei" is a very common bad trend that has formed in Sanchuan, especially in Luocheng, in recent years.
The most direct manifestation lies in architecture and clothing.
In the past, Sichuan residents had always lived in felt tents, but now looking at the entire Luocheng, there are civil buildings with strong Wei culture everywhere.
In terms of clothing, Sichuan people gradually abandoned the traditional sheepskin jackets and switched to Wei cotton-padded jackets.
In the past, innocent prairie girls dressed themselves up with flowers on the prairie, but now, these girls have hairpins from Wei, pearls from Chu, and even some gold and silver bracelets, anklets and other accessories.
The criteria for choosing a mate for these prairie girls is no longer the strong warriors they once were, but depends on whether the man has the ability to buy Wei and Chu accessories for her.
What worries Harlegoch most is that the language of the Yi people is used less and less in Luocheng. More and more Sichuan people understand Wei Yan and use Wei Yan to trade with merchants from Wei.
This is wrong!
Halegoh, the leader of the Aries tribe, realized that their culture of the Sheang tribe was rapidly disappearing and being assimilated by the Wei people.
Maybe a few years later, there will no longer be any Yi, Jie or Yi people in Sanchuan, only a group of people with grassland ethnic origins, but their dress, speech and behavior will be exactly the same as the Wei people.
But Harlegoch had nothing to do about this, because the Wei State did not use any conspiracy to plot against them. They just used a more superior life to induce the Sichuan people to move closer to the Wei people step by step.
Will Sichuan people refuse a more superior and affluent life?
Won't!
Therefore, it is inevitable to be assimilated by the Wei people.
In Wei people's words, this is called Yangmou.
Looking at the large clan chiefs in the meeting hall, Halegoh was a little discouraged, because he saw that many of the chiefs at the meeting were imitating the Wei people, wearing brocade clothes, jade crowns, gold and silver.
Pretending to be a noble—but these people haven’t learned how to do it yet.
The aristocrats of the Wei people don't know how to wear gold and silver to show their wealth, okay? Only the nouveau riche would dress like that!
If he didn't know each other well, he doubted whether he was sitting with a group of Wei people.
On the other hand, Amutu, the patriarch of the Qingyang tribe, still wears a traditional sheepskin jacket.
However, this does not mean that the Qingyang Tribe has the same attitude as him. Everyone knows that Oona, the youngest daughter of the Qingyang Tribe's patriarch Amutu, married to the Kingdom of Wei and became the woman of His Royal Highness King Su.
With this kind of relationship, I believe that the Qingyang Tribe will never side with the Wu Xu Royal Court - even if the Qingyang Tribe is a tribe of the Yi tribe.
As expected, Amutu, the leader of the Qingyang Tribe, laughed and said some indifferent nonsense without any expression.
Suddenly, Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe, asked with a smile: "So, what does the chief of Halegoh mean?"
"What?" Harlegohe was stunned when he heard this.
Seeing this, Erdemo then pointed to the clan chiefs present and asked: "I want to ask, what do you mean by gathering the clan chiefs to discuss a completely unnecessary issue?... Could it be that...
The clan leader wants to support the royal court? Ha, I just asked casually."
After hearing this, Lu Balong, Meng Liang and other big clan leaders looked at Halegoch intentionally or unintentionally.
The Yi people don’t have much respect for the Wusu Royal Court. After all, looking back hundreds of years ago, the Yi people were oppressed slaves under the rule of the Yi people. Although the Yi people later resisted and were recognized, they also accepted the Wusu Royal Court.
rule, but this does not mean that the Yi people have eliminated their grudges.
It can only be said that the Yi people have no culture of their own and can only passively accept the cultural indoctrination of the Yi people. This makes this race lack of foundation. Therefore, even after becoming independent, they can only recognize the rule of the Wusu Royal Court - who told them to say that?
It’s the language of the Yi people, but what’s the culture of the Yi people?
Facing all kinds of distrustful looks, Halegoh, the patriarch of the Qingyang Tribe, said bravely: "I just hope that this time our Sichuan-Luo Alliance can restrain each other and remain neutral... As for the Royal Court, try to persuade as much as possible
They. Perhaps, we did lack respect for the Royal Court in the past... I think that if the Wei State could give the Wusu Royal Court generous treatment, imitate the title of "Wuxu King" awarded by the Wei State decades ago, and recognize the royal court's respect for the Royal Court,
Even if Sanchuan’s rule is nominal, I believe that Wang Ting will immediately give up being an enemy of Wei..."
"Ha!" Before Halegoch could finish speaking, Lubalon interrupted with a sneer: "Respect for the royal court? Does it mean that the tribes offer tributes every year to support the royal court like they have done for hundreds of years?
"
Saying this, anger flashed in the eyes of the chiefs of the Yi tribe. After all, when the Royal Court was at its strongest, it was when they oppressed the Yi people most severely.
"Times have changed, Halegoch, Sanchuan does not need two kings." Lu Balon said coldly, squinting his eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that even though they are Sichuan people, if there is a better choice, the Yi people will not hesitate to abandon the royal court of the Yi people. This is why they do not resist being assimilated by Wei.
"Is this the answer of you Sheng people?" Halegoh was a little angry.
"Keep what you have in mind and say it to "that one"!" After saying that, Lu Balong, Meng Liang and other clan leaders of the Yi tribe looked at each other, then stood up and left.
Looking at the departing patriarchs, Halegoch's heart sank.
Of course he knew who the "that one" in Lu Balong's mouth was referring to. It was a Wei man who held a money bag in his left hand and a sharp sword in his right hand, and forcibly made the tribes of Sanchuan surrender - Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
In Sanchuan, this name is louder than "Wuxu Royal Court".
