Around Xidu, there are five tribes with the strongest strength. They are the Black Rhinoceros Tribe, the Red Fox Tribe, the Snake King Tribe, the Panshi Tribe and the Stone Mountain Tribe.
These five tribes have a population of thousands, and have more than one Qi Master sitting in charge, indirectly controlling many small tribes. They can truly represent the so-called "tribal alliance" in front of them.
But currently, none of the envoys coming to worship are from the five major tribes.
From this point of view, the barbarian tribes were also afraid of Xidu.
Yao Yun knew these situations in his heart, so he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Which tribe are you from?"
The one who rebelled against General Yao Yun's army was a middle-aged man, tall and powerful, with a good name, "Zhi Fu". The so-called Zhi Fu, as the name suggests, is a wise man. The name is very shameless, and the person is even more ruthless.
"King Qi, the younger one is named Zhifu. It doesn't matter which tribe he belongs to. We represent all the tribes now. Your statement makes us panic. Without salt, it will be difficult for us to store enough meat. Without food, we will be more vulnerable."
Let us add insult to injury, and when the time comes we are forced to the point of desperation, then the situation will be bad."
When he said "force", Zhifu's tone became more serious, and his threatening tone was clear, as if he was warning Yao Yun.
At this time, the other envoys of the "Tribal Alliance" also turned around, no longer crying, but regaining their cold and arrogant expressions and standing behind Zhifu to support him.
If King Xi becomes desperate, they will probably unite.
Yao Yun sneered in his heart, thinking that since he was called Zhifu, he really thought that he was smart, a stupid guy, and he was still proud of being betrayed.
"Are you threatening Gu?"
"I care about the people, how can I bear to see the people suffer from cold and hunger? I invited all the leaders to come to Xidu just to discuss countermeasures. When did I say that I will not sell food and give salt to everyone? No matter how much food Xidu has, the people of Gu will be full."
That’s the most important thing!”
After Yao Yun finished speaking, the people of Xidu were quite moved. They had met a good king who cared about the people. Most of the envoys from the tribal alliance breathed a sigh of relief, and the previous common hatred and hatred disappeared immediately.
Only Zhifu, who was so proud just now, felt that something was wrong.
Just when he secretly screamed that something was wrong, Yao Yun's expression changed, he pulled out the sword of the princes and pointed it at Zhifu.
"Everything I have done is for the life and death of tens of thousands of people in our country, but you dare to threaten me with chicken feathers as arrows. Can you represent all tribes?!"
The gentle Yao Yun suddenly raised his voice. This huge difference gave people a thunderous shock.
Zhifu was speechless, speechless, and then staggered back.
As soon as he retreated, the people from the "brother" tribe did not help him, but retreated further one by one.
Yao Yun: "This little commoner actually threatens this king, Cangman!"
"I'm here!"
"Give him a fan!"
There was a saying in Yao Yun's time that hitting someone is not a slap in the face. The best way to humiliate others is to give them a few big-eared melon seeds, which will make the nose and face swollen and disgraceful.
Cangman followed Yao Yun's order very strictly, jumped up and came to Zhifu, and soon the other tribe envoys dispersed like the plague.
Cangman's big palm-like hands directly grabbed the opponent's collar. With his strength as a Qi practitioner, ordinary warriors had no ability to resist. He was half suspended in the air, with his hands and feet dancing together.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The crisp sound of slaps came to mind rhythmically, accompanied from time to time by transparent, turbid yellow, and bright red liquids splashing in the air, even knocking out a few teeth.
As a Qi practitioner, Cangman could kill the opponent with one slap, but Yao Yun did not give him an order to kill him, so he struck very measuredly and was heavy but not fatal.
In this way, it is self-evident how miserable Zhifu is.
"Okay."
By the time Yao Yun shouted to stop, Zhifu's face was already swollen into a ball, his facial features were a little distorted, his mouth was twisted, hesitating, and he was extremely angry.
No one knows exactly what he said, but he can roughly tell that he is the representative of the tribal alliance and King Xi cannot treat him like this.
Yao Yun sneered. He really didn't want to stand on the opposite side of all the tribes. He had to do this in order to beat the barbarian tribes. Now that the beating has had the effect, he needed to find a scapegoat to scare the monkeys.
Firstly, it was to maintain the dignity of King Xi, and secondly, it was to give other tribes a step down.
Yao Yun: You said you are the representative of the alliance, so I would like to ask the other representatives, does he mean what you mean?"
At this time, the tribal envoys waved their hands and shook their heads.
"Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong. This is entirely the idea of Zhifu and the Leopard Tribe. We have always respected your Majesty."
"Your Majesty treats us so favorably, but this wise man is such a bastard. We are willing to fight against the Leopard Tribe for your Majesty. We just hope that we can sell more food to us."
"Your Majesty..."
Everyone enthusiastically expressed their loyalty.
"you......."
Zhifu was furious and pointed at his "companion", but he couldn't say a word.
Yao Yun didn't say much, and ordered: "Today, I am going to hold talks with the leaders of the tribes, no later than this evening, and the later ones will not wait. In addition, this wise man and his leopard tribe don't need to come!"
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Several alliance representatives had anxious looks on their faces, and they ran towards their tribes in a hurry. As for Zhifu, except for the people who despised him in Xidu, no one paid attention to him, and he collapsed on the ground helplessly.
...
In the afternoon of that day, nearly a hundred barbarian tribes around Xidu knew what happened today.
After hearing this, the leaders of each tribe had a look of horror on their faces.
Before that, they had all ignored that their tribe was unknowingly becoming more and more dependent on Xidu for life. Once King Xi stopped trading with them, their good days in the past few years would be gone, and they would return to the once difficult life in an instant.
during the day.
After enjoying a good life, who wants to live a hard life?
Even if these leaders have the guts to not eat what comes from outside, what about the people in the tribe? What will they do and think?
It will be a severe winter soon. If Xidu refuses trade, then they will be like before, with a lack of food in winter and having to hunt with all their lives in the winter. Many tribesmen will freeze to death and starve to death in this winter.
By then, even if the tribe survives the winter, the tribal leader will lose the trust and respect of most of the tribesmen.
Because it was they who led the people into the abyss of suffering.
This is an invisible bondage. Compared with the previous forceful suppression and slavery, this invisible control reaches directly inside and cannot be seen, but it has great power.
Of course, they can unite and attack Xidu together, but no one is sure about attacking Xidu.
Although Xidu suffered heavy losses, who knows if there is a backup plan.
The former power of Xidu still lingers in the minds of tribal leaders, and no one dares to take risks unless it is absolutely necessary.
Not to mention that Xidu didn't push them to a dead end now, but just gave them a small punishment.
If they encounter a strong enemy, the tribal warriors will fight to the death bravely without even frowning. However, it is unforgivable to have a good life but to end up dead.
No one can stop people from living a good life. Anyone who blocks it is their enemy, even tribal leaders are no exception.
The autumn wind was bleak, and the leaders of the major tribes sighed helplessly.
"Fortunately, there are leopard tribes as scapegoats!"
...
Evening has not yet fallen, but there are already more than twenty Qi Refiners and hundreds of powerful warriors gathered in Xidu. They are all the most powerful leaders of the major tribes.
Among them was the leopard tribe where Zhifu belonged, and their leader also came.
Before, when Yao Yun begged them to come, they ignored him, but now they came one by one, respectfully and obediently.
He has the same bad virtue as Erbi Tianshu!
Yao Yun was very emotional. In ancient times, economic sanctions and trade wars were really a bit bullying. Their thinking was still at the level of solving problems with force!
