sweeping the world

Chapter 107 Everything Is For Survival

This is not an era of convincing people with virtue. It is about the strong always being strong, and the weak should let the strong have what they want.

The Ministry of Han has long issued a call to arms, specifying the time for surrender, and clearly stated the price of surrender. If you are willing to pay the price, you can get peace, and if you don’t, you are the enemy.

Where there are smart people, there will be stupid people, and even smart people will take chances. As a result, they are waiting for the conquest army to force them to surrender before they want to surrender?How could anything be so cheap!

Of course, that wasn't entirely because of Liu Yan's domineering, it was because he found himself in an embarrassing situation, the "eating order" was issued, and there were many responders.Because the Han tribe needs to supply food and grass for the people who come here, the consumption is quite large. If some families are not eliminated to supplement it, the Han tribe is not opening a philanthropic hall, and those people who are called must do something for them.

Under normal circumstances, even if it is a coping style, people will be sent. If not, you will be waiting to be the target of surgery.It is almost this season every year, and it is also the time when the imperial court orders officials to inspect the county. This is equivalent to the central government encouraging local officials to carry out killings.

In fact, the most important thing is that each county is too small. A county cannot accommodate a second strong man, swallowing many weak enemies, and making those mobs become manic and confident. Isn't it a means for the imperial court to weaken the local government if they are killed by forces with sufficient strength to threaten them?
The Han Dynasty will also attack the threatening forces, but there is a small accident here...

"After sweeping away those small and medium-sized forces, the next thing is the army that suddenly appeared." Ji Chang looked puzzled: "Selona left, and the He Kuiman tribe also left. I didn't expect that there would be a tribe crossing the border to grow up." Guangjun."

The Hekuiman tribe is a Zahu tribe with a population second only to the Celona'a tribe. They originally surrendered to Errong, but for some reason they did not send troops when the Han tribe wiped out Errong.

This time, the Hekuiman tribe directly followed the departure of the Selonaa tribe and moved out of Changguang County.

According to Liu Yan's understanding, even in the lean season, the nomadic tribes in Houzhao rarely move across counties.That's because each county has relatively strong forces, even if the most powerful forces do not hold official positions, the local area basically belongs to their "hunting ground".

How can you allow outsiders to enter your own "hunting ground"?It will definitely be a fierce battle if you encounter it.

What Liu Yan and others didn't know was that Qiu Linci Fuwu was also unlucky, and he chose to enter Changguang County purely because of coercion.

In the last battle, Yao Yimai lost as the "Leader" so confusedly, some anger must be vented.He originally wanted to retreat and gather the miscellaneous Hu, but an order came from Xiangguo to serve Shi Bin quickly, so he had no choice but to give up and trouble the Han tribe himself.

Who is Yao Yimai?He is the son of Yao Gezhong, the Duke of Xiangping County, Chijie, the governor of the ten counties and six barbarians, and the champion general Yao Gezhong!After seeing such a large list of nobles, names, officials, and positions, are you afraid? !
There were a lot of people who were afraid, so Yao Yimai easily assembled another four or five thousand miscellaneous hu, and let these assembled zahu cooperate with Qiu Lincifu, and ordered Qiu Lincifu to lead his army into Changguang County.

"Now, they are here." Ji Chang clicked on the map of mountains and rivers, and the location was the boundary between Pingchang County and Changguang County.He said with a gloomy face, "Our scouts detected that the number of incoming enemy troops exceeded [-], and there were more than [-] cavalry."

There are not many counties around Changguang County, namely Gaomi County, Pingchang County, Donglai County, Dongmo County, and Dongguan County.Among them, the capitals of Gaomi County and Pingchang County are relatively close to Changguang County, and the remaining capitals of Donglai County, Dongmou County, and Dongguan County are far away from Changguang County. The borders between the latter three counties and Changguang County There is no city at all.

In fact, there are really not many cities in every county now, and the villages in the countryside are so few that they can't survive without building a village to protect themselves.

The Han tribe now does not know that the new enemy army is led by Qiulin Cifuwu, but only knows that the leader of the enemy army who entered across the county is the Huns.

To tell the truth, unless the flag is displayed by oneself, there is no way for the scouts to easily know who the leader of the enemy army is. Knowing the general organizational structure of the enemy army is considered very good.

"The enemy army has been staying at the border and hasn't gone deep?" Liu Yan looked at the markings on the enemy army on the map: "There are still six enemy groups in the county that have not been cleared..."

The rest are basically dissatisfied people who have formed a stronghold to protect themselves. They sent people to seek surrender, but Liu Yan did not agree.There is a new army with more than 5000 people. Regardless of whether there is hostility or not, the Han tribe needs to be vigilant. Ji Chang’s suggestion is to increase the price for the surrender of the six families. If they surrender, they will concentrate on dealing with the army that has more than one army. An army of 5000 men.

The Han Ministry issued a "food order", and gathered 5000 miscellaneous people, and the total number of the headquarters is close to [-], but I know in my heart that except for a very small number of headquarters..., no, even the headquarters has a lot of people. There are few mobs.Under such circumstances, the situation is not optimistic against the [-]-strong army.

The army is either large in number or powerful. How many large armies are not crumbling at the touch of a button?If the number of troops is large, it is strong, and it is better than the number of soldiers to determine the outcome.

In the next step, Liu Yan has regrouped his troops from a scattered state, and he should go to sit in charge himself.

A strange thing happened. Liu Yan spent nearly ten days gathering the troops. Almost at the time when the troops were gathered, Qiu Linci Fuwu led the army and withdrew to Pingchang County, and sent Qiu Linai as an envoy. Arrived in Liu Yan's army.

"I had to lead the army here because of Yao Yimai." Qiu Linai explained clearly why he came here: "We don't want to go to war."

Liu Yan didn't have the slightest impression of Qiu Lin Ai, but he remembered that Qiu Lin Ci Fuwu was one of the three leaders in the last battle, and another guy named Ru Luo Juwu was killed by himself.

"We led the army here, and we have completed the explanation to Yao Yimai. There is absolutely no hostility in coming here this time!" Qiu Linai saw Liu Yan's confusion and said, "We will fight you even if we win. We don’t know if we can win or not. If a tribe is weak, it will be annexed, and we don’t want to be annexed. This time, we are here to turn hostility into friendship and make a fair deal with your tribe.”

The words were too clear, but Liu Yan wanted to know how the Qiu Lin clan would explain to Yao Yimai afterwards.

"For face, he is the son of a big man. If we don't give face, we are not his subordinates." Qiu Linai looked at Liu Yan very strangely, and said as a matter of course: "The survival of the tribe is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Liu Yan was extremely satisfied with Qiu Linai's repeated answers: "Tell me, what is the deal?"

Qiu Linai reported the types of goods he brought, mostly furs and slaves, and a small amount of medicinal materials, and then said: "We know that it is unrealistic to buy a large amount of weapons from your department now. Those goods are exchanged for two hundred swords and one thousand spearheads. Change the rest to table salt?"

Liu Yan looked at Ji Chang.

Ji Chang thought for a while, and said to Qiu Linai: "The premise of the transaction is that you hand over to us a thousand miscellaneous beards summoned by Yao Yimai. They will also be counted as part of the slave transaction."

Without hesitation, Qiu Linai agreed very happily: "That's it!"

Liu Yanrang handing over 1000 people is tantamount to the Qiulin tribe's "nomination certificate", and Qiu Lincifu's failure to agree is tantamount to completely falling out with Yao Yimai.The meeting this time would not seem like a joke, Qiu Linai obviously knew that, so he agreed so neatly.

Next, Liu Yan did not participate in person. Ji Chang, Tian Shuo and Qiu Linai discussed the details of the transaction, such as the amount of the first transaction, the number of people on both sides, and the time and place.

After the deal was settled, Qiu Lin Ai got out after a while.

At first I felt weird, but later I can understand that the survival of the tribe is the most important thing, and only the existence of the tribe can survive, and no one will ruin their own survival because of something.

"They're going to Saibei." Ji Chang waited for Qiu Linai to leave before he said, "Not everyone can promise the heir of Xiangping County Duke and then backtrack, or even make a deal with the person who is about to fight."

Liu Yan swallowed back what he wanted to say.He originally wanted to ask whether Qiu Linci Fuwu was playing some kind of conspiracy, such as setting up a trap or something, but when he asked, it was obvious that he didn't trust Ji Chang's judgment, so how sad should this chief counselor be?
