"There is a saying in the Central Plains that "when things go wrong, there will be monsters". Now that our Jiejiao tribe is declining, these three people still take the initiative to come together and want to cooperate with our Jiejiao tribe to deal with the Wei people. Chief, you can't
Do you think this is strange?"
"..."
After hearing Bosile's words, Bitatu remained silent.
Indeed, in this world, after all, "there are many people who add icing on the cake, but few people who provide help in times of need." Not to mention snobbery, in fact, if something is unprofitable, how many people will do it? It is human nature to seek profit.
But as Bosile said, Sayin, Aru, and Shuerha were not there when they first arrived in Luocheng in Jiejiao and when their military power was at its peak, they secretly sent people to contact them.
Coming to a private meeting, it is certainly a lie to say that Bitatu has no doubts in his heart.
At this time, Bosile said something that Bitatu deeply believed.
"If they really wanted to join hands with me, Jie Jiao, and cooperate inside and outside to deal with the Wei army, they should have found a way to contact us long ago."
After hearing this, Bitatu turned to look at Sayin and the others, frowned and asked: "This clan leader is also a little confused about this matter. Why didn't Gaqihan contact me, Jie Jiao, earlier?"
"Because the Wei army was on tight guard in those days." Sayin bowed his head and saluted, and explained: "The chief of the tribe, did you remember that after Gaqihan sent the news to the chief of the chief, the chief of the tribe ordered the warriors of your tribe to attack me?
The soldiers of the Lun clan and the Meng clan, and at that time King Su of the Wei Kingdom began to suspect that one of us must have delivered the message to you, the patriarch.
... Therefore, although the Wei army is in harmony with us on the surface, secretly they are also on guard against us. I am afraid that the patriarch does not know that on the first day when the patriarch stormed Luocheng, even though the battle situation at that time was quite unfavorable to the Wei people,
King Su of Wei State still left five thousand men behind and did not go to the battlefield... because he did not trust us completely."
Bitatu nodded slowly, accepting Sayin's explanation. Then, he asked: "What about today?"
Hearing this, Sayin's face flashed with a trace of embarrassment, and he said cautiously: "Say something that might make the patriarch unhappy. At present, the Wei people in Luocheng no longer value Jiejiao as much as they did a while ago.
, the patrol was much weaker than a while ago, so we got the opportunity to sneak out of the city."
"……hateful!"
After Bitatu heard this, his face turned pale.
Of course he understood what Sayin meant. It was just that after the Wei army defeated Jiejiao three times, they no longer took them seriously.
Looking at Bitatu's changing eyes, Sayin, Aru, and Shurha seemed to be beating drums in their hearts.
To be honest, they are willing to shoulder the task of "defrauding" the Jiejiao Army. Their wives and children no longer need to be implicated by them. They can still stay in the tribe and live in the land of Sanchuan without suffering the pain of being expelled.
.
But the problem is, just doing this doesn't allow them to atone for their sins.
At most, he was spared the punishment of "bewildering". From then on, he left his hometown, wandered around, and eventually died of old age in a different place.
Unless they make great achievements.
Only by making great achievements can they continue to stay in the tribe by being "relegated to slavery" with a smile on their faces.
They are said to be slaves, but in fact, what is the difference between them and the tribesmen? At most, the original leader's position has been abolished, and he can still live in the tribe and see his wife and children every day.
If we make some contributions in the future, there is a chance that we can recover as before.
But the prerequisite was that they had to convince Bitatu to lead the Jiejiao cavalry into Luocheng and step into the trap prepared for them by the Wei army and the Hehuang warriors.
But what makes Sayin and the three secretly resentful is that they had originally persuaded Bitatu, but unexpectedly Bitatu's adopted son Bosile had doubts about them, which made them unable to persuade Bitatu so far.
Sayin, Aru, and Shurha looked at each other, and they felt that at this point, the only way to use the "big killing weapon" that King Su of Wei personally taught them was to use it.
Thinking of this, Sayin deliberately said with a gloomy expression: "After talking for a long time, I didn't expect that the patriarch still didn't believe what we said. In this case, let's just pretend that this incident never happened. Let's say goodbye and return to Luocheng."
After saying that, he, Aru, and Shurha pretended to be angry and bowed to Bitatu, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Bosile immediately shouted: "Stop!"
Sayin and the other three turned around and said angrily, "What else is there?"
Bosile looked at the three of them and said coldly: "Tell the truth about the intentions of the three of you on this trip... What exactly did the Wei people ask you to do?"
"It's ridiculous!" Sayin and the other three argued, "Are we here for the Wei people?"
Seeing this, Bosile immediately called the tribal warriors outside the felt tent and tied the three of Sayin with ropes.
Then, he turned to Comparison Tatu and said: "The patriarch, if you torture them severely and extract confessions, you will be able to force them to tell the truth."
Bitatu's eyes moved slightly.
But at this moment, Aru suddenly heard angrily scolding: "I didn't expect the Jiejiao people to be so indiscriminate and actually say that we are doing things for the Wei people. Do the Wei people still need to use this kind of trick to defeat Jiejiao now?"
?!"
"..."
After hearing this, Bitatu was stunned, and then his eyes flashed with deep anger. However, this anger was mixed with a bit of sadness.
Yes, Jie Jiao's defeat has been decided, and the Wei people do not need to resort to deception to defeat Jie Jiao.
"Let them go." Bitatu waved his hand sadly.
"The patriarch..." Bosile wanted to persuade him again, but in the end, he had to order people to release Sayin, Aru, and Shurha.
After loosening the rope, Sayin, Alu, and Shurha looked very angry, especially Sayin, who pointed at Bosile and said coldly: "Young boy, do you think you guys are still the same as before?"
Is it so prosperous? Don't think we don't know that the Wei army's Dangshan army attacked the tribal camps behind you. Many tribes, including Wujiao and Wutu, were slaughtered by the Wei people. The next one will be you, Jiejiao!... And
, do you Jiejiao people still have enough food to feed tens of thousands of tribal warriors and hundreds of thousands of slaves? You are almost finished!"
His words, even though they were directed at Bosile, made Bitatu look livid.
Because this is indeed the current bad situation of Jie Jiao.
Finally, Bitatu couldn't help it anymore, and said with a sullen face: "Leader Sayin, are you here to join hands with the leader of the clan, or are you here to humiliate Jijiao?"
Seeing Bitatu getting angry, Sayin was pounding in his heart, but in order to achieve his goal, he had to bite the bullet and continue to stimulate Bitatu according to what Zhao Hongrun taught.
"Chief Bitatu, Gaqihan and those of us who are not willing to surrender to the Wei people do hope to join hands with Jiejiao to defeat the Wei army. However, one thing I hope the chief can understand is that we do not necessarily have to fight with Jiejiao.
Hand in hand... Our patriarch has gained the trust of King Su of the Wei Kingdom. Just as the patriarch said, if we put down our pride and become dogs for the Wei people, we can still survive and continue to live in the land of Sanchuan.
Go up, and the Jiejiao tribe... hum, in a few days, I’m afraid it’s still unknown whether there will be any Jiejiao tribe!”
Hearing this, Bitatu turned livid with anger. He stood up suddenly, kicked over the short boy in front of him, and stared at Sayin, as if fire could burst out of his eyes.
Seeing this, Sayin turned pale with fright and said timidly: "I...I am telling the truth..."
"The truth..."
Staring at Sayin angrily, Bitatu felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Yes, what Sayin said is indeed true. At the moment, it is Jiejiao who have no way out, not the tribal chiefs in Luocheng who surrendered to the Wei people.
"Say your conditions." Bitatu said with a gloomy face.
The implication was that he had agreed to the plan to attack Luocheng at night.
Seeing this, Sayin and the other three looked at each other, saluted and said: "After the war, we will take over those tribes that are really attached to the Wei people, whether they are men, women, or sheep."
"Okay." Bitatu nodded slowly.
A few people talked for a while, and Sayin, Aru, and Shurha left with heartfelt joy.
Looking at their departing figures, Bosile couldn't help but advise again: "Grand Chief, attacking Luocheng at night is too risky..."
"But this is our only chance." Bitatu sighed.
Bosile frowned and continued to persuade: "It's just a short-term defeat. We still have tens of thousands of brave warriors and hundreds of thousands of slaves. Even if the tribal camp is attacked by the Wei people, we still have what we lost."
You can plunder them from the barbarians in the north, whether they are women or sheep."
"No, the Wei people will not give us a chance to breathe." Bitatu shook his head and said.
Bosile frowned and advised again: "It's better to reconcile with the Wei people. Didn't the leader of the Yi tribe, Erdemo, say that he is willing to take the lead for us and reconcile with the Wei people?"
"Hmph." Bitatu snorted, a strange look flashed in his eyes, shook his head and said: "The Wei people can reconcile with any tribe in the land of Sanchuan, but they will not reconcile with me, Jiejiao."
"Why?" Bosile asked puzzledly.
"Why..."
There was a trace of confusion in Bitatu's eyes, and the short Wei Wang family he saw when he was hunting came to mind.
"...I wonder where your tribe is located?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Of course I am going to visit the Jiejiao Tribe... If this meeting does not go well, I will lead my most elite soldiers in the Wei Dynasty to find the place where your Jiejiao Tribe lives and kill the people of your Jiejiao Tribe."
A perfect sight."
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
Bitatu laughed heartily at that time.
At that time, the young royal family of the Wei Kingdom also laughed.
Who is laughing at the other person's overestimation?
Until now, Bitatu finally figured it out.
"This is our last chance. If we fail, Jiejiao will cease to exist... I have decided to attack Luocheng tonight!"
"Grand Chief!" Bosile seemed to want to persuade him again, but Bitatu stopped him.
"Those three people are right. Now that our Jiejiao power is declining, we are no longer as strong as before. Even if the Wei people do nothing, we are destined to be defeated... In a situation where victory is certain, there is no need for the Wei people to play tricks.
What a trick."
Bitatu said it very confidently.
But he ignored one thing, and that was Zhao Hongrun's ambition.
What Zhao Hongrun wants is not to defeat Jiejiao, but to completely defeat the Jiejiao tribe and make it a thing of the past, fulfilling the promise he made when he was hunting together to "pacify Jiejiao and kill all the Jiejiao people."
At this moment, let alone Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe, even if the Wusu Royal Court personally intervened, it would be useless.
Because he wants to use the destruction of the Jiejiao tribe to shock the land of Sanchuan!
