Zhao Hongrun handed over the task of expanding the scale of the Luoshui Alliance to Halegoh, the chief of the Baiyang tribe of the Yi tribe, and Lu Balong, the chief of the Lun tribe of the Yi tribe, and others.
In fact, to be more serious, in Zhao Hongrun's view, the contributions these tribes made to the Wei were not enough to be classified as first-class allies. However, in order to encourage those tribes to join the Luo League and submit to the Wei State, Zhao Hongrun did not mind making an exception and promoting them.
Anyway, the clan chiefs such as Halegoch and Lubalon have indeed gradually developed a feeling of closeness to Wei.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun planned to shape it as an example of harmony between Wei and Sichuan and induce more Sanchuan tribes to join the camp close to Wei.
It is somewhat regrettable that the Jie and Ling tribes politely refused to join the Luo League, and Erdemo, the leader who attended the meeting in place of the Yi tribe, did not rush to make a decision. He only told Zhao Hongrun politely that this matter was of great importance.
He hoped to seek the opinion of Fei Yangtahui, the old chief of the Qiyi tribe, before giving Zhao Hongrun a reply after returning.
In other words, currently, the only three major tribes remaining in the land of Sanchuan have not expressed their intention to join the Luoshui Alliance.
Because of this, many small and medium-sized tribes that rely on these three major tribes also hesitated and planned to wait and see for a while.
Zhao Hongrun sneered secretly at this.
He did not intend to convince those tribes that thought highly of themselves, nor did he want to pay attention to those tribes that planned to wait and see for a while before talking.
Waiting for the next opportunity?
Hey! Let’s talk about it in ten years!
There is no doubt that within ten years, tribes like the Lun tribe that are friendly to Wei will grow rapidly and become a large tribe. And for those tribes that think highly of themselves, will there still be room for them to survive in this land of Sanchuan in ten years?
, that is unknown.
Although this matter was not completed perfectly, Zhao Hongrun was very satisfied that it could be accomplished to this extent.
For the rest, he only needs to hold a meeting with the tribal chiefs who have joined the Luo League to discuss the specific business steps. Even if the matter in Sanchuan is over, he can return to Wei and continue to immerse himself in the Smelting Bureau.
, committed to improving Wei's industrial and metallurgical technology.
However, what surprised Zhao Hongrun was that that night, just as Zhao Hongrun was about to sleep with Oona, the clan guards outside the felt tent came in to report that it was Batulu, the chief of the Jie tribe, and Acton, the chief of the Ling tribe.
Come together to ask for a meeting.
To be honest, after the two of them made it clear that they would not join the Luo League at present, Zhao Hongrun had lost all intention of recruiting these two tribes and did not even have the thought of threatening them.
Because the Jie tribe is not the Jiejiao tribe, the Jie tribe and the Ling tribe have been neighbors for generations, advancing and retreating together. Although Zhao Hongrun is not afraid of any of the big tribes, if he is an enemy of the Jie tribe and the Ling tribe at the same time, even Zhao Hongrun will not
grasp.
More importantly, at this moment, the Western Expedition Army led by Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, has passed through the land of Sanchuan and headed for Longxi. The Jie people in the land of Sanchuan have gradually shown their intention to submit to the Wei State, even if they have not yet
The surrendered tribes no longer dared to plunder the western border of Wei as they did in the past.
Now that the goal of conquering Sanchuan has been achieved, Zhao Hongrun felt that there was no need to force the opponent anymore, so as not to backfire.
However, after thinking carefully for a moment, Zhao Hongrun still received the two patriarchs because he had roughly guessed the purpose of these two patriarchs.
With the permission of Su Wangwei, Zongwei Shen Yu and Mu Qing led the two patriarchs, Batulu and Actun, into the felt tent.
I saw Batulu and Acton walking into the felt tent, looking around for a few times, and then they saw Oona, a young girl from the Sheng tribe, with a somewhat strange expression on her face.
In fact, they had long heard that the youngest daughter of Amutu, the leader of the Qingyang Tribe of the Qingyang Tribe, had become the woman of King Su. They thought it was a rumor at first, but they didn't believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.
"The stupid Bitatu of the Yi people was defeated because of his blindness and shortsightedness. If he could put aside his prejudices and go to the respected King Su's tent for a look, I believe he would not be defeated and die."
Looking at Oona who looked confused and confused, Acton, the leader of the Antelope tribe, said with a smile.
Of course, Zhao Hongrun understood what Acton said. He shook his head and said, "Bitatu has a deep prejudice against me, the Great Wei. Even if he saw Oona, I'm afraid he would only think that I did it to him on purpose and wouldn't believe it." "After that, he patted Oona on the back and said warmly: "Oona, I have important matters to discuss with the two clan leaders. If you are sleepy, go to the small tent next door and sleep first."
"I'm not tired yet." Oona shook her head, and then she seemed to have thought of something and said, "I'll go get someone to prepare some food and wine."
After that, she ran out of the felt tent under the smiling and kind eyes of Batulu and Acton.
"What a beautiful black beard flower." Balutu couldn't help but admired: "Somehow, the daughters of our Jie tribe are not as beautiful as the daughters of the Yi tribe."
Isn't it caused by your education method?
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Batulu and muttered secretly in his heart.
He had already seen the girls of the Jie tribe. Although they were beautiful and enthusiastic, they were as bold as men. After seeing the girls of the Jie tribe drinking, Shen Yu and other clan guards had no regard for those Jie tribe girls. The longing is beyond words.
No one in Wei is willing to marry a woman who drinks better than a man.
In this way, it is no wonder that gentle and cheerful girls of the Yi ethnic group have become the common pursuit objects of men in the land of Sanchuan.
"You two, please."
Zhao Hongrun invited the two patriarchs, Batulu and Actun, to sit down at a table, and then asked: "The two patriarchs came late at night. They must have something important to do."
Batulu and Actun looked at each other, and the latter nodded and said frankly: "We Jie people don't like to mince words, so please forgive me for any offense. We hope that the Wei army stationed in Yishan can Evacuate that area."
"Yishan" Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and then realized that the other party was referring to Cheng Gaojun, and he was secretly amused.
He had heard that because of the relationship between the Chenggao Army stationed in Yishan, the Jie and Ling tribes had suffered several defeats at the hands of the Ba people in recent times, but because of concerns about the Chenggao Army at the rear, , the two clan chiefs, Batulu and Acton, did not dare to add troops to the front line.
What's even more terrible is that in order not to expose themselves to enemies from both sides, they did not dare to expel the Chenggao army stationed in Yishan, which made the recent battles with the Ba people extremely uncomfortable.
"Okay!" After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongrun nodded and said: "Since the war between the Wei Dynasty and Sanchuan has been resolved, the Chenggao army will return to Chenggao Pass. The two clan leaders can rest assured."
Seeing Zhao Hongrun so happy, Batulu and Acton nodded secretly, and then the latter spoke again: "Dear Su Wang, as far as we know, the Wei State and the Ba people have been enemies for generations. I don't know whether King Su can Interested in joining us?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this and asked doubtfully: "Are the two clan leaders inviting me, the great Wei Dynasty, to attack the Ba Kingdom together?"
"No, I'm inviting you." Batulu, the leader of the Jie tribe, looked at Zhao Hongrun and said: "We Jie tribe only believe in the strong, and although you are young, you are quite powerful. What are your methods? Are you interested in joining us and conquering the enemy?"
If we lose the territory of Pakistan, we can divide it equally."
Zhao Hongrun looked at the other person with a strange expression. If it weren't for the fact that we Jie people don't like to mince words when talking, he might have pointed at the other person's face and scolded the other person for having a hole in his head.
You should know that the land adjacent to Wei State and Ba State is almost only the Nanliang area.
And where is Nanliang? It can be regarded as a barren and desolate land where Wei State exiled prisoners. Although it is the territory of Wei State, if it is taken away by some country or force one day, Wei State actually does not matter.
Because Nanliang is too barren and desolate, it is really just a piece of dispensable land for the Wei State.
Under such circumstances, what use is it for the Wei State to have an enclave located in the southwest of Nanliang and not adjacent to the Wei State itself?
What's more, Wei's need for land is not urgent.
If the other party is from the Central Plains, I believe Zhao Hongrun probably thinks that the other party wants to take advantage of the Wei State. However, since the other party is a Jie tribe who does not like to beat around the bush, Zhao Hongrun secretly guessed that this may be a move by the two Jie tribes to express their stance: they
They do not want to join the Luoshui Alliance and submit to Wei, but they can cooperate with Wei on an equal footing.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said: "I appreciate the goodwill of the two clan leaders. However, I, the Wei Dynasty, want an enclave that is not adjacent to the country. It is useless, so I have no choice but to reject the goodwill of the two."
"Aren't you interested in dealing with the Ba people together?" Batulu asked incredulously: "Don't you Wei people have a feud with the Ba people?"
Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly after hearing this.
It is undeniable that there are many Wei people who pay attention to tradition, and they hate the Ba people even more than Han, Chu, and Sanchuan. For example, Zhao Hongrun's father, Emperor Wei, once mentioned the shame of Fangling and sternly warned Zhao Hongrun that as a royal, he must not
The humiliation our ancestors suffered in the past, etc.
But for Zhao Hongrun, the hatred for the Ba people was still too far away. In contrast, he was more concerned about whether Wei could gradually strengthen the country under the threat of Han and Chu and not be afraid of foreign enemies.
"Sorry." Zhao Hongrun shook his head with regret.
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun rejected the matter, Batulu and Acton looked at each other, feeling a little regretful.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun asked curiously: "Looking at the faces of the two clan leaders, it seems that the attack on Ba is not going well?"
Acton hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "To be honest with King Su, the tenacity of the Ba people is beyond our expectation, and our tactics are useless against the Ba people."
Oh, yes, Pakistan also has slavery
Zhao Hongrun nodded secretly. After all, according to the news about Ba Country he heard from Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, although Ba Country is called a country, it is actually composed of large and small clans and tribes, and the state form is
Similar to Mikawa, he also owns immeasurable slaves.
This means that the Jie people's usual tactic of using slave soldiers to consume the enemy's physical strength has almost no effect in front of the Ba people. At best, the slaves of both sides consume each other to see who can hold on longer.
It is no wonder that under such circumstances, the two patriarchs, Batulu and Acton, would think of the Wei State. After all, the Wei State followed the strategy of elite troops, and it might be possible to defeat this human wave tactic.
And just as Zhao Hongrun was thinking about it, Acton finally revealed the fundamental purpose of their visit.
"I wonder if King Su can make the decision and get Wei to give us some support?"
"support?"
"Yes, support us in defeating the Palestinians." To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on Qidiann, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to n to read.
