To be fair, Zhao Hongrun was not puzzled when Ulu Batu, the commander of the Yanjiao Army, and Cheralhe, the chief of the Ubian tribe, came to visit him. After all, they were both from the Yi tribe, and the Yi tribe and the Wei people were not the same in previous years.
There is no direct conflict of interest.
But what Zhao Hongrun didn't expect was that Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe, would actually come to pay him a visit.
You must know that the Yi tribe is also a tribe of the Jie people. Like Jiejiao, it is a large tribe of the Jie people.
As for the Jie people, to be honest, Zhao Hongrun doesn't have a good impression of them.
So, is it seen or not seen?
After thinking deeply for a moment, Zhao Hongrun finally chose to receive him.
"Tell the whole army to move forward slowly."
After giving the order to the army to march slowly towards the tribal camp of the Jijiao tribe, Zhao Hongrun took the twenty-three tribal chiefs of the Luoshui Alliance, spread a sheepskin blanket on a piece of grass that was not wet along the way, and purchased some equipment.
Food and goat's milk wine, meet the three big figures representing the three forces.
It has to be said that Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe, Ulu Batu, the commander of the Flame Horn Army, and Cheralhe, the leader of the Ubian tribe, are very courageous. They actually brought only
One or two followers came to see Zhao Hongrun.
"(In the language of the Yi tribe) Congratulations to King Su for defeating Jie Jiao. Bitatu is a well-known warrior among our Jie tribe. King Su is really young and promising for defeating him."
The first thing Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe, said when he came up was to congratulate Zhao Hongrun. Looking at his smiling face, if he hadn't clearly known that the other person was a Jie tribe member, Zhao Hongrun would have really suspected that he was either
People of the Yi people, or people of the Yi people.
It’s no wonder, after all, in the general impression of the Wei people, the Jie people are as ferocious as the Jiejiao people, and they are only known to be strong bandits and bandits in the border areas of Wei State.
"Well... you're welcome, you're rewarded." Zhao Hongrun responded to the other party in the Chinese language with a strange expression, and secretly looked at the other party's appearance.
Not to mention, Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe who seemed to be in his early forties, seemed quite approachable because of his smiling face, which made Zhao Hongrun feel quite incompatible.
Maybe he noticed the strange look on Zhao Hongrun's face, Erdemo smiled and joked: "King Su doesn't think that we Jie people are all arrogant people like Bitatuna, right?" After that, he did it.
With a humble courtesy, he said with a smile: "We Jie people are indeed warlike, but we will not provoke opponents we cannot afford to provoke, such as our powerful neighbor, Wei."
"..." Zhao Hongrun glanced at the other party in surprise, and couldn't help but feel very relieved.
After all, as a Wei person, he naturally likes to hear people praise the power of Wei, although he knows very well that Wei is still far away from a truly powerful country like South Korea and Qi.
"The three of you came to visit our army, and I am sorry that I was unable to welcome you from afar... I wonder why the three of you came here this time?"
As the saying goes, it is difficult to hit a smiling person with a raised fist. Although Zhao Hongrun had a bad impression of the Jie tribe, the leader of the Yi tribe, Erdemo, was so kind, so he could not say anything rude, which would violate the etiquette of the Wei people.
After hearing this, Ulu Batu, the young captain of the Yanjiao Army, took the lead in explaining his intention: "(In the language of the Yi people) Dear King Su of the Wei Kingdom, you imitated the Luoshui Alliance established by Wu Xu's oath.
I have sent someone to convey this goodwill to the royal court. As long as your country does not do anything that violates Wu Xu's oath, our Flame Horn Army will not become enemies with your country and your army. This time, I am accompanying these two
Come here." As he said this, he pointed at Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe, and Chelarhe, the leader of the Ubian tribe.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun looked up and down at the young captain of the Flame Horn Army, and then turned his attention to the other two.
"(In the language of the Yi people) Please." Cheralhe, the leader of the Wubian tribe, raised his hand to Erdemo, the leader of the Yi tribe, and humbly asked the latter to speak first. After all, the Yi tribe is much better than the Wubian tribe.
The tribe is much stronger.
Seeing this, Erdemo did not show any pretense, and performed a Sanchuan salute, and then said to Zhao Hongrun: "(In the language of the Yi people) Dear King Su, Bitatu of Jiejiao overestimates his own capabilities and attempts to provoke the powerful Wei State.
Now that I have paid a heavy price, I just don’t know what King Su will do with Jie Jiao?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Erdemo who was smiling, and said calmly: "Just like the promise I made when we were hunting together... I will level the Jiejiao!"
"..." Erdemo's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that the young King Su of Wei in front of him was so murderous. It was not enough to defeat Jie Jiao, but he wanted to completely destroy him.
Licking his lips, he said coquettishly: "With all due respect, respected King Su, the arrogant Jijiao tribe has learned a lesson. King Su defeated his army, and another tribe in your country is called Dangshan."
The army's army also attacked the Jiejiao tribe's camp. After this battle, the Jiejiao tribe will not be able to recover for twenty years... In my opinion, this lesson is severe enough. What do you think? Dear solemn
king?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Erdemo, picked up the horn cup and took a sip of the goat's milk wine, and said lightly: "I also said it, this is just in your opinion, but in my opinion, this is not enough! ... Far away
not enough!"
…
The faces of the clan leaders of the nearby tribes changed slightly when they heard this. They did not expect that Zhao Hongrun would not give Erdemo any face. You must know that the person behind Erdemo was even more powerful than Jie Jiao.
Tribe.
No, Erdemo, who had been smiling just now, couldn't hold back anymore after hearing Zhao Hongrun's merciless words. His eyes flashed with strange colors and he said in a low tone: "Dear Prince Su
, your decision will not win the friendship of the Jie people."
"Friendship among the Jie people?" Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly and said lightly: "I feel that the Jie people have already lost all their so-called friendship with me, Wei, when we were hunting together..."
He was referring to the time when the Wei State invited the Sanchuan tribe to participate in a joint hunt and discuss the joint hunting. No one from the Jie tribe was present during the joint hunt. The only one present, the chief of the Jiejiao tribe, Bitatu, also made it clear
He went there just to disrupt the discussion between the two parties.
Before Erdemo could speak, Zhao Hongrun pointed at the tribal chiefs present and said in a deep voice: "My king's behavior is very simple: you treat me as a guest, and I will treat you as a guest; if you treat me as a guest,
This king is my enemy, and I also regard you as my enemy..."
Erdemo frowned when he heard this and said displeasedly: "King Su is so aggressive, isn't he afraid that our Jie tribe will send troops to support the Jiejiao tribe?!"
Zhao Hongrun laughed loudly after hearing this, and then said with a straight face: "If this is really the case, then don't blame me for using another method of war!"
"Another way of war?" Erdemer's face showed some confusion.
"Ah." I saw a sneer on Zhao Hongrun's face. He made a fist with his right hand and slowly clenched it. He said coldly: "Every inch of Jie people's land is captured, sprinkle salt on that land.
Make sure that within a few years... no grass will grow on this land!"
Hearing this, Erdemo showed a look of horror, while the rest of the people present gasped in shock.
Thinking about it, they were all exclaiming loudly in their hearts at this moment: What a vicious, vicious plan to wipe out the entire household!
Think about it, if the Wei army really sprinkled salt on every inch of land they conquered, making it barren of grass, how could they graze their sheep on this land?
And without the sheep, how will they survive?
Not surprisingly, they eventually had no choice but to abandon this fertile land and once again wander around without a fixed abode as they did hundreds of years ago, eventually dying out.
After a long time, Erdemo swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Sprinkling salt on the entire land of Sanchuan? This price is too high, isn't it?"
"Haha." Zhao Hongrun chuckled twice and said lightly: "The price is high, but if we can force an enemy of Wei Dynasty to death without any blood, the price is not unacceptable, right?"
He looked at Erdemer intently, and his eyes seemed to reveal the message "Do you want to try it?"
"..." Erdemo looked at Zhao Hongrun with cold sweat gradually breaking out on his forehead.
The tribes of the Luoshui Alliance present here also looked at each other.
Only then did they realize that His Highness Prince Su was really merciful enough in his attack on Sanchuan. Otherwise... it would be unthinkable.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun suddenly burst into laughter and said pleasantly: "Isn't this just a joke? Why do you do this?"
"A joke?" Erdemo was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed cooperatively: "It turns out to be a joke..."
Seeing this, the tribal chiefs present also laughed together.
But at this moment, Zhao Hongrun looked at Erdemo with a smile and said slowly: "It's a joke. The funny thing about this joke is... it's true!"
"..." After hearing this, Erdemo's smile suddenly froze on his face.
The chiefs of the tribes present were also stunned and looked at each other.
After a few breaths passed, Erdemo took a long breath and said with a wry smile: "I have also had contact with the Wei people in Longxi, but I have never met anyone like you, King Su..." After that,
He looked up at Zhao Hongrun and said sincerely: "If the leader of our Yi tribe makes a wrong decision and attempts to assist the Jiejiao tribe, I will definitely stop him."
"If this is the case, you can gain my king's friendship with just one step..." Zhao Hongrun raised the horn cup and saluted from afar.
Immediately, he took the initiative to invite: "Me tribe, are you interested in joining the Luoshui Alliance?"
Erdemo was stunned when he heard this, and then said humbly: "Since it is King Su's goodwill, how can we refuse it? However, this matter should be reported to the chief of our clan, and he will come to meet with King Su in person."
"Oh, that's it... Then I'm waiting for your good news... please." Zhao Hongrun raised his glass and said.
"please."
Erdemo raised the horn cup, but still did not forget to take a deep look at the young King Su in front of him.
He finally realized why King Su of the State of Wei, who was said to be only fifteen years old, could hold military power at such a young age and subdue the tribes of the Luoshui Alliance.
This courage and magnanimity are probably unparalleled among peers!
