"...That's it for now. I hope you two can accept our goodwill."
In a fairly well-decorated felt tent, two envoys dressed as Sichuan residents were bowing to the two people in the tent in Sanchuan's unique way of saluting.
In addition to these two envoys, there were only two people sitting in the felt tent. The one sitting at the head of the table was an old man wearing a sheepskin coat with gray temples. The one sitting at the bottom was a man with a handsome face.
A man with deep eyes and a faint whip mark.
These two people are "Gu Yigu", the patriarch of the "Northern Sichuan Alliance", and Bosile, the commander-in-chief of the 50,000 "Northern Sichuan Cavalry".
After glancing at Bosile who was silent, Gu Yigu said to the two envoys in a deep voice: "You two envoys, please rest in the tribe for a few days and let us discuss it."
After hearing this, one of the envoys said: "Grand Chief, this matter is of great importance and should not be delayed..."
Guyi Gu smiled and said: "It is precisely because the stakes are so important that we have to be more calm and considerate, isn't it?... Come, please send the two envoys to the tribe to rest and entertain them."
As soon as he finished speaking, two big men with thick waists and round arms walked outside the felt tent. One of them said in a low voice: "Two distinguished envoys, please come."
Seeing Gu Yigu's resolute attitude, the two envoys looked at each other and could only obey the instructions and follow the two strong men out of the felt tent.
After they left, Guyigu picked up the croissant cup on the table in front of him, took a sip of goat's milk wine, and asked Bosile, "Bosile, what do you think?"
Bosile, the commander-in-chief of the 50,000 Northern Sichuan Cavalry, had a slight fluctuation in his eyes.
The two envoys just now, one is from the "Wuxu Tribe" and the other is from the "Jie Tribe", they are both distinguished guests in terms of status.
The Wuxu Tribe is the royal court, so it is natural that the Jie Tribe, if we go back several generations or more than a dozen generations, can be called the mother tribe of all the Jie Tribes in Sanchuan, whether it is the "Ling Tribe", "Shei Tribe", or
The former "Jiejiao Tribe" and so on can all be regarded as sub-tribes of the Jie Tribe.
In a sense, the Wuxu tribe is equivalent to the king of the Central Plains country, while the Jie tribe is equivalent to the powerful regent.
Of course, times have changed now, and the "Northern Sichuan Alliance" will not be afraid of the Wusu Royal Court or the Jie Tribe at all, because the Northern Sichuan Alliance also has powerful military power, such as the 50,000 Northern Sichuan Cavalry controlled by Bosile.
However, everyone knows that the "North Sichuan Alliance" is only powerful on the surface. It is controlled by the "Sichuan-Luo Alliance". Under the supervision and control of the latter, the "North Sichuan Alliance" has even been deprived of the right to own sheep.
You can get food from the Sichuan-Luo Alliance every once in a while.
Although the food is still sufficient, it is undeniable that this is a very humiliating thing, because according to the cultural customs on the grassland, only slaves are not worthy of owning sheep (equivalent to wealth).
Looking back, the reason was none other than that the "Northern Sichuan Alliance" was the loser. Therefore, they could only watch the prosperity of Luocheng dozens of miles away and watch the "Sichuan-Luo Alliance" become increasingly wealthy.
"..." Bosile had no expression on his face, just drinking by himself.
Seeing this, Gu Yigu did not rush him, and said as if talking to himself: "The situation of Wei State is indeed not good recently. It is said that South Korea has gone to war with Wei State again. I am thinking that maybe Wei State will indeed face
The situation of "Five Parties Conquering Wei"..."
When Bosile heard this, he glanced at Gu Yigu and said nothing.
"Five parties attack Wei", this is the top secret information revealed by the two envoys just now in order to persuade them to defect. Although Bosile does not know how these people did it, it is undeniable that the Wusu Royal Court did get Qin
With the support of the country, South Korea has indeed started war with Wei in the Hexi and Hedong areas.
Only Song County to the east of Wei State and Chu State to the south are still unclear whether they will join the crusade against Wei State.
However, judging from the sworn and confident expressions of the two envoys just now, I believe there won't be any big discrepancies.
This means that Wei is indeed facing a joint attack from five forces and is at its weakest time in history.
"...Then, what should I do?"
Bosile raised his hand and touched the whip mark on his face that spanned his entire face from his left forehead to his right cheek. Even though many years had passed, he had never forgotten the origin of this whip mark.
Those were the whip marks left on his face in anger by his adopted father, Bitatu, the chief of the Jie tribe, after his defeat in the battle.
According to the tribal shaman (witch doctor) who later treated him, he was just a little short of losing one of his eyes.
But even so, Bosile still had no intention of hating Bitatu's adoptive father. After all, on the day of his defeat, the latter killed all the children who were crying and clamoring to surrender, but he killed the last of the Jiejiao tribe.
The cavalry was handed over to his adopted son, Bosile, and he was asked to take these warriors to surrender to the Wei people. This already explained a lot of problems.
"...I'm done here, but you shouldn't die here."
Bosile still remembers his adoptive father Bitatu's last words before his death.
With these words, Bosile left the city and watched helplessly as his adoptive father was on top of the city, still provoking the Wei man. Then, the Wei man ordered the use of hundreds of catapults to attack Jiejiao.
The city where the tribe had lived for generations threw heavy fire oil, turning the entire city into a sea of flames.
To this day, there is still no grass growing in the area around the ruined city.
My adoptive father (Bitatu) is a warrior!
Only he refused to surrender to the Wei man at the last moment, killed his wife and children with his own hands, and died calmly.
"...So now, how should I choose?"
Holding the horn cup and drinking goat's milk wine one mouthful at a time, Bosile thought quietly.
It is undeniable that the two envoys were right. Facing the "Five Parties Attacking Wei", the Wei State is currently at its weakest stage. If his Northern Sichuan Alliance defectes, and with the 50,000 Northern Sichuan Cavalry in his hands, they can even
Collect 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry.
Leading this cavalry, they unite with the State of Qin, the Wusu Royal Court, the Jie Tribe, and the Ling Tribe, and maybe it is really possible to break away from the control of the Wei State and regain control of the land of Sanchuan.
It is even possible to take advantage of Wei's weakness and counterattack into Wei's territory, just like what happened in the "Era of King Wu Xu" decades ago.
but……
Taking a deep breath, Bosile turned his gaze to Guyigu and asked seriously: "What do you think? Uncle."
He was asking Guyigu very sincerely, because Guyigu was the only person at that time who was as willing as him to go to hell with Bitatu.
However, Gu Yigu did not directly say "stand by Qin" or "stand by Wei". He just said in a sighing tone: "Bitatu is headstrong and reckless, but his vision is not wrong. He once said
He said that he did not regret that Jiejiao went to war with Wei State. He just felt that the war came too late... because Wei State was already capable of going to war with other countries at that time. This was a very dangerous signal. You have to know that we
clan, is
After the war between the Wei State and South Korea, the land of Sanchuan was obtained during the period of Wei State's weakness. If Wei State had the ability to take it back, Wei State would take it back sooner or later... I thought Bitatu was right at the time, the shepherd.
Can we really live in peace with the farming people? We cannot understand their language, and they cannot understand our questions... However, we failed in the end, and the Wei man defeated us."
"..." Bosile remained silent.
Without waiting for Bosile's reaction, Gu Yigu continued: "I still remember that on the last day, Bitatu once said that after Jiejiao is defeated, the Wei people will gradually control Sanchuan. Those who follow others will prosper, and those who go against us will prosper.
Whoever dies, look at the Lun clan in Luocheng. They were once a middle-class tribe, and the powerful Jie Jiao could easily destroy them, but now? The Lun clan has become a behemoth...
But the once powerful Jiejiao could not even retain its tribal name... Last year, the Yi tribe also joined the Sichuan-Luo Alliance. This once again made me firmly believe that compared to Tatu's foresight, he once said that we will no longer have a chance.
Have true freedom. This incident also proves... Are those people in Luocheng who live in big houses, wear Wei clothes, and speak Wei dialect really still our compatriots?"
"..." Bosile touched the edge of the croissant cup and said nothing.
He has also seen the Weihuaization of Sichuan people. Compared with the Northern Sichuan Alliance, the "Weihua" situation of the tribesmen in the Sichuan-Luo Alliance is more serious, especially those of the Yi people, who also call themselves "Di people" in addition to external affairs.
’ In addition, other words, deeds, clothing, food, housing, and transportation gradually followed the example of the Wei people.
If things continue like this, maybe decades later, Wei will not need to go to war to take back Sanchuan, because the Sichuan people in Sanchuan will be almost the same as the Wei people by then.
Bosile felt that this might be the deep meaning of what his adoptive father said, "We will never have the opportunity to have true freedom again" because the entire nation has been kidnapped and assimilated by the Wei people, and there are no longer Sanchuan people in the true sense.
Thinking of this, Bosile couldn't help but ask: "So, uncle means to take this opportunity to stand on his own feet?"
"Self-reliance?" Gu Yigu smiled when he heard this and asked: "Do you have the courage to be an enemy of that Wei person? The Wei person who defeated Bitatu..."
Bosile's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He knew very well that "that Wei man" Gu Yigu mentioned was none other than Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
"……I don't."
In Bosile's astonished eyes, Gu Yigu sighed and said: "That young man from the Wei Kingdom... no, he can no longer be called a young man. He... is too strong. The city where you Jiejiao has lived for generations
"Henan" was originally a city built in the early Wei Dynasty.
Even in the early days of the Wei Kingdom, the capital was established in that city, but the Wei people did not hesitate to turn Henan City into a scorched earth. After the victory or defeat of the war, there was only Bita in the city.
When we were picturing a few of them, the Wei man
Without hesitation, he used hundreds of barrels of precious kerosene to destroy the entire city, leaving that area barren to this day... He was establishing his power and warning us Sichuan people, just like what he said at the beginning
, he can fight with us while calling soldiers
The soldiers sprinkled salt on the captured land to ensure that every inch of land conquered by the Wei people was barren of grass... I really felt scared at that time... Wei State is still Wei State without Sanchuan, and we have lost
After taking away Sanchuan, what’s left?”
Hearing this, Bosile couldn't help but feel goosebumps.
I believe that no Sichuanese would not be horrified after hearing the heroic words of Wei Gong Ji Run that day.
"Unless Wei Gongzi Ji Run dies, I dare not be an enemy of Wei." After taking a look at Bosile, Gu Yigu said seriously.
After listening to Gu Yigu's words, Bosile didn't mean to despise the other party at all. Instead, he felt relieved.
Because he had participated in the "Four Kingdoms' Attack on Chu", he knew very well that in that battle, Wei Gongzi Ji Run only led 50,000 Wei soldiers to attack Chu, but in the end, he had
With hundreds of thousands of troops, not to mention the Chu State, even he, Bosile, was dumbfounded - in this battle, more and more soldiers were fighting? It was not just about capturing slaves.
Based on his nature, Bosile really didn't want to be an enemy of that Wei Gongzi. After all, as far as he knew, there was a general of Chu State (Xiang Mo) with an army of 500,000, plus a general with an army of more than 200,000.
None of the princes of the army (Shouling Junjingshe) could defeat Wei Gongzi Ji Run, whose military strength was far less than the former two.
What's even more frightening is that this Young Master Wei has never suffered a defeat so far, even when fighting against the powerful South Korea.
"Since you don't intend to be an enemy of that person, uncle, why did you receive those two envoys?" Bosile asked.
Gu Yigu took a deep look at Bosile, and then explained: "I want you to understand the situation that I, Sanchuan, are facing now..."
Bosile was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood and said: "It's either Wei or Qin?"
"Well." Sighing with a bit of sadness, Gu Yigu said seriously: "When the Jie, Ling, and Yi tribes did not support Bitatu, our tribe's era would have been over. If it hadn't been for decades,
The nation that once dominated the grassland was caught between the Wei State and the
Qin, the two weak countries that struggled to survive before... Now, the situation is very clear. Either side with Wei or Qin. There will be no third way out... As Bitatu said
, we have lost our true freedom."
"Uncle, are you optimistic about Wei?" Bosile asked curiously: "Didn't those two envoys say that Wei is facing a crusade from five parties?"
Gu Yigu smiled slightly when he heard this and said meaningfully: "The more sheep there are, the more wolves will be attracted. If there is no special reason, will there be a situation of 'Five Parties Conquering Wei'?"
Bosile was stunned, and then nodded with deep understanding: If it weren't for the strength of Wei, why would South Korea, Chu, and Qin abandon the dignity of being a big country and unite to attack Wei?
"Bitatu once said to me, 'Go and work as a dog for the Wei people. Although you will lose your freedom, you may get good benefits.'... I used to think he was mocking us, but now it seems that
There is nothing wrong with Wei people being dogs. When I went to Luocheng a while ago, I saw Lu Balong from a distance. I was dumbfounded at the time. Was that fat man really the warrior of the Lun tribe back then?" Gu Yi Gu Gu said.
Zuo said in surprise.
Bosile smiled slightly. In fact, he also knew that many clan leaders in the Sichuan-Luo Alliance had fallen. In the past, tribal clan leaders were often the best warriors in the tribe, but now, those clan leaders may not be able to defeat a few of their own tribes.
The rich and even luxurious life of their tribesmen has corrupted these brave warriors.
At this time, Gu Yigu said again: "I used to be very afraid that Wei Gongzi Run would one day take back Sanchuan from us through war, but now it seems that I have to admit that I underestimated him too much.
He never thought of retaking Sanchuan through war. His ambition was even greater and he tried to annex us to the Wei people, but... there was nothing wrong with this. At least the tribesmen got a prosperous life. Just like we were dogs to the Wei people,
There's nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't make sense to be used as a dog for the Wei people, with Lu Balong eating the meat and us chewing the bones."
Seeing the glint of wisdom flashing through Guyigu's slightly cloudy eyes, Bosile immediately understood the attitude of the patriarch.
"The most tender internal organs are presented to the (wolf) king, and the fat and tender meat should be enjoyed by the wolf who takes the lead in charging." Bosile said a common saying on the grassland in the language of the Sheang people.
Gu Yigu smiled and nodded when he heard this.
After a while, Gu Yigu touched his beard that was soaked in goat's milk wine and whispered: "Wei Guoguo sent him here because he is the only one who can scare Sanchuan... After he comes to Sanchuan, he will contact us.
After all, the fifty thousand cavalry under your command are also an indispensable force."
"I understand what uncle means." Bosile nodded.
That day, Guyigu and Bosile chatted for a while and then parted ways.
A few days later, the Yanjiao Army, the escort force of the Wusu Royal Court, had a small-scale trial war with the Yi tribe, but neither the Sichuan Luo Alliance nor the Sichuan North Alliance showed any movement.
They are all waiting for someone, waiting for someone who will set foot on this land sooner or later - Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
The vast majority of Sichuan people are not afraid of Wei, but they are afraid of Wei Gongzi Ji Run because this man, wielding his money bag and sword, surrendered to the brave Sichuan people.
About two days later, Guyigu invited Bosile to the patriarch's felt tent again.
When Bosile arrived at the tent, he saw three Wei soldiers wearing armor standing inside the tent.
"Wei Guo Dangshan Army..."
Bosile narrowed his eyes and felt refreshed.
As the Wei army that once caused massacres in the land of Sanchuan, the Dangshan Army has a bad reputation in Sanchuan. Therefore, the Sichuan people pay special attention to this Wei army.
For example, Bosile could even guess from the carvings and styles of the armors of these soldiers that one of them had the military rank of uncle.
When Bosile secretly guessed the purpose of Dangshan's army, the Dangshan soldier, who was suspected to be an uncle, said: "His Royal Highness King Su has arrived in Luocheng, and I have been specially sent to deliver an order to invite you two to meet."
The implication was probably that Gu Yigu and Bosile were asked to go and greet them in person.
After hearing these words, Gu Yigu frowned slightly. It was not that he was angry because of the high profile of the Wei Gongzi, he just felt a little strange - when the Wei State was facing a crusade from five parties, the Wei
Why did the young master still have such confidence to put on a high profile and order the two of them to meet each other?
Is there something hidden in this matter that they don't know about?
But in general, when faced with the high profile of a certain Mr. Wei, Gu Yigu was not angry but rather felt at ease. After all, it stands to reason that Mr. Wei would be so high-profile only if he had a certain degree of confidence.
Looking at Bosile, Gu Yigu said respectfully in Wei dialect: "In this case, without further delay, please ask this soldier commander to lead the way. The two of us will go immediately."
"Immediately?" The Dangshan Army Chief was stunned. After all, although he was ordered to come to summon the messenger, his superiors did not ask him to immediately bring Guyigu and Bosile to His Highness King Su.
"You're quite knowledgeable..."
The Dangshan Army Chief muttered to himself, and said with a strange expression: "Then... prepare your horses, the three of us are all cavalry."
"Okay!" Gu Yigu nodded and said.
Immediately, he ordered people to prepare several fast horses, and with only a few soldiers for protection, he and Bosile followed the Dangshan Army cavalry to the place where King Su Zhao Hongrun was.
During this period, Gu Yigu asked the Dangshan Army Chief: "Hasn't His Highness King Su ever entered Luocheng?"
Perhaps seeing that Gu Yigu had a good attitude, the chief of the Dangshan Army gave a reply: "His Royal Highness King Su has not entered the city, and is temporarily stationed outside the city with our Dangshan Army hunting and cavalry battalion."
"Oh." A few glints flashed in Gu Yigu's eyes, and he nodded thoughtfully.
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was standing on a slope south of Luocheng City, looking at the prosperous city in the distance that was as prosperous as a beam.
The once-declined Luocheng became a prosperous city comparable to the capital of King Wei in just a few years, which gave Zhao Hongrun a great sense of accomplishment.
Not far from him, a big fat man who was out of shape, Lu Balong, the leader of the Lun clan of the Yi tribe, was reporting to Zhao Hongrun on the recent status of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance with a solemn expression.
"...Your Highness, I very much suspect that Halegoch has private connections with the Wusu Royal Court. At the clan leaders' meeting a few days ago, he hoped that we would remain neutral and not participate in the war between Wei and the Royal Court. He even
He wants to convince us to support him in negotiating terms with Your Highness..."
"What conditions?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a frown.
"Recognize the royal court's rule over Sanchuan, even in name only. He hopes that the Wei Dynasty can enthrone another Wusu King as it did decades ago, and donate part of the proceeds of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance to the royal court...
..." Lu Balon did not hesitate to tell Zhao Hongrun everything that Halegoh told at the meeting that day.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned, and after a while, his brows gradually relaxed.
He did not doubt that Halegoh would behave like this. After all, Halegoh was a member of the Yi tribe, and the Wusu Royal Court was equivalent to the royal family of the Yi tribe, just like the real Wei people, that is, the Zhao family with the surname Ji.
Even if the family is in decline, it is almost impossible to fight against the Ji Zhao royal family. This is a kind of closeness and recognition based on blood.
Of course, understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that Zhao Hongrun will accept Hallegohe's suggestions.
Use money from power to bribe the Wusu Royal Court? Hey, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the Wei State to take this opportunity to get rid of them?
Taking a deep look at Luocheng in the distance, Zhao Hongrun said expressionlessly: "The time has come to make a choice, Lu Balong. This time I set foot in Sanchuan, there are only three types of people in my eyes, friends, enemies, and...
…dead."
"I will stand firmly on your side, Your Highness." Lu Balong immediately knelt on the ground and said seriously.
Next to him, General Sima An of the Dangshan Army glanced at Zhao Hongrun, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Either friend or enemy, it's a simple and clear way to judge..."
Sima An must admit that he once misunderstood His Highness King Su. This Highness was definitely not a womanly person.
"The fear of Han and Chu is not unreasonable. Maybe the second "King of Qi Lu Xi" in the Central Plains has appeared..."
