The relationship between countries is like this, they are all based on interests, what brotherhood, what alliance feelings are all useless, that is, naked use of relationships, everyone knows that when you use others, why are others not using you?

"Messenger Audience!"

Gongsun Xuanyuan gave a majestic order, and the guards who reported the news did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went down to announce the messenger, and the backbone and important ministers in the field also immediately adjusted their state, and adjusted the majestic atmosphere of the court to the best state, no matter how their own people argued in private, they had to be restrained in front of outsiders and maintain the demeanor of a great country, after all, the relationship between the two sides now, and they still want to pay so much, but in fact, they can't get the benefits, at least in name to maintain a certain degree of dominance.

"Participate in the Gongsun Patriarch!"

Not long after, a young man of the Jiang tribe walked into the meeting hall under the leadership of the guards, and the people did not stand still, and the respectful greeting voice came out first, and the posture was put at the lowest, which made everyone in the bear tribe very satisfied, if your Jiang tribe had not been helped by me, the family would have been ruined a long time ago, it should be like this, you must know that now they look down on the Jiang tribe from the bottom of their hearts, the foundation left by the ancestors can not be kept, and they are not worthy of becoming an equal to them. Fortunately, he is quite self-aware.

You know, there is no direct ruling subordination between countries, each country exists independently, and now there are only three countries on the continent that can be called a country, one is the bear tribe, one is the Jiang tribe, and the other is the Chiyou tribe, but the whole continent is not all under the rule of the three kingdoms, there are Nanban in the south, Beidi in the north, that is, the desolate west, and there are many tribes large and small, they are collectively called Xiqiang, so the whole thing seems to be a chaotic situation in the whole continent, It does not form the unity of all aspects, cultural differences, folk customs, etc., although there are many contradictions and frictions in the border places, but they do not form a large-scale war.

It can be said that Dongyi is at the forefront of this point, even faster than the Central Plains, they first completed the unification, the Central Plains is still divided into two worlds, as for the other areas of chaos, it is much more backward, at least the next many years will not become a threat to the Central Plains, so they don't pay too much attention to it, first solve the problem of the Eastern Regions, after all, although the Eastern Regions are not as prosperous as the Central Plains, the land is fertile, but it is also in the lower reaches of the big river, and the location is not bad, The current ruler is ambitious, so he is the biggest threat.

Rao is now the Central Plains and the Eastern Regions under the rule of the state, but to say that comprehensive rule, it is still impossible to do, there are still many tribes within the jurisdiction are not within the sphere of influence, either the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, or it is not worth paying attention to, in short, to count, the whole of the rule is about one-third, especially in the Eastern Regions, because of the terrain, it is impossible to send troops to fight on a large scale in many places, and in the long run, it will be over, so there will be a Chiyou West Expedition, and the Jin tribe will take the opportunity to rise, And quickly got the support of many tribes, and quickly grew stronger.

It can also be seen from this that the envoy of the Jiang tribe put his posture so low, and almost asked to see him with the courtesy of his subordinates, you know, this person's identity is not low, he is the younger brother of the patriarch Shennong, and his status in the clan is very high, and he can be sent here, which is enough to show the sincerity of the Jiang tribe, and his identity, Gongsun Xuanyuan is very clear, after all, he has dealt with him before, so he is very satisfied, and he wants to talk about some harsh conditions, and he can't help but relax a little. This is the purpose of the Jiang tribe.

For them, it's useless to have face or anything now, it's better to have something real, everything else is empty, when the strength is enhanced, the face is all there, you don't have to fight for it yourself, you used to just want face, almost destroyed the country, today he personally came as a messenger to ask for a meeting, that is, with the task of the patriarch, in other words, he is not a person who only relies on relationships, if there is no real talent and real learning, Shennong will not send him here at all, you must know that now the whole tribe is united, unprecedented unity, The previous face-saving projects have all been put down, and the people who only rely on their relationships have long been cleaned up.

And he came today, there are only two purposes, the first is to test the attitude of the bear tribe, the second is to provoke the war between the bear tribe and the Jiuli tribe, first of all, the first one, in fact, is very simple, is to play to test whether the bear tribe has the meaning of supporting, or want to take the opportunity to destroy themselves, but all kinds of signs show that the bear tribe must support themselves, most of the princes and nobles in the country may have the heart of the Jiang tribe, but Gongsun Xuanyuan is not a short-sighted person, and he will definitely not do such a visionary thing, Compared with the current destruction of the Jiang tribe, they are directly facing the Jiuli tribe, and they are not completely sure, so it is the best choice to support the Jiang tribe to fight against the Jiuli tribe together, and now it depends on how strong the support is, he needs to understand the bottom line of Gongsun Xuanyuan, so at this time, the posture is lowered, and strive for greater benefits, why not, and there will be nothing to lose, it is nothing more than a matter of dignity, endure humiliation, and only then can you achieve great causes.

Now they have a good bargaining chip, I believe that for the territory left by the retreat of the Jiuli tribe that originally belonged to the Jiang tribe, the bear tribe must be very interested, but since it is benevolence and righteousness to rule the world, it will definitely not be blatantly occupied, and the pressure of public opinion will definitely make Gongsun Xuanyuan give up, which Shennong has long thought of, but for his previous territory, he does not want to take it back, compared to the current territory given by the bear tribe, no matter from the geographical location, or after more than a year of operation, Shennong will definitely not give up, If he recovers the original territory, then there is no reason to occupy the current stay, and his hard work for so long will be all in vain, so he will never give up.

So the best way now is to change it, so that the bear tribe can occupy it with confidence, their strength can be completely redeveloped, and the territory is larger, full of temptation, everyone in the bear tribe must be reluctant, this proposal is definitely beneficial to both sides, even if Gongsun Xuanyuan has concerns, he can't stand the persuasion of his subordinates, after all, no one doesn't want to have a larger sphere of influence, so that there is another benefit, that is, when the Jiuli tribe attacks the Central Plains again, The Jiang tribe will no longer be the primary target of attack, with their original territory as a buffer, the losses they bear will be better, this is the opportunity for development, of course, there are no capable people from the bear tribe to see through the minds of the Jiang tribe, but it doesn't matter, there are only a few visionary people, most people still pay attention to interests, such a naked temptation plus a conspiracy, he doesn't believe that anyone can break it.

The fact is as expected, the people of the bear tribe heard the opinion of the envoy, and the ambition that was finally suppressed by Chen Jing grew again, now there is nothing to say, the Jiang tribe took the initiative to give up their own territory, and it sounded good, just to repay the help of the bear tribe, although this is doubtful, but they are not afraid of other thoughts, it is nothing more than that they have no ability to operate again, but they are not afraid, even if it is a ruin, they have the ability, and such a large territory, It means that everyone's strength will be greatly enhanced, who wouldn't want to? Moreover, the current land given to the Jiang tribe at the beginning, they have all paid for it, and if they don't take it back, they must be very unwilling.

So this idea can no longer be suppressed, and Chen Jing, the first strategist beside Gongsun Xuanyuan, also knows the thoughts of the Jiang tribe, but he knows even more about the thoughts of the bear tribe, including the monarch Gongsun Xuanyuan, who also has similar thoughts, because as long as he receives the territory of the Jiang tribe, the strength of the bear tribe will be even more expanded, even worse than the Jiuli tribe in the Eastern Regions.

For a monarch, the interests are not too attractive, what wealth and beauties are not on the table, the only thing that can't stand it is power, only reputation, now is such a best opportunity, Gongsun Xuanyuan will not let go, Chen Jing, who knows the meaning of the king, can't jump out to oppose it at this time, he can only think about it for a while, and he didn't find any conspiracy on the other side, Shennong's trick is too clever, it is nothing more than to resist the attack of the Jiuli tribe first in the future, but this point is not afraid of the bear tribe, The strength of the two sides is about the same, and there are allies, and the Jiang tribe can also take the opportunity to develop, isn't this exactly the meaning of what he wanted to support in the first place?

This is Yangmou, blatantly placed in front of him, no one can say anything, not even any selfishness, and there is an important point, so that the bear tribe feels that it has taken a big advantage, and some of it is unbearable, then the next few support manpower, material and financial resources will be greater, after all, the Jiang tribe has paid a large amount of land, and it seems that it is more willing to become a vassal state of the bear tribe, although there is no nominal recognition, but this is enough, how can the bear tribe not be generous?

Even the high-level members of the bear tribe who had been trying to take the opportunity to find the stubble of the Jiang tribe just now, or humiliate them, were also a little embarrassed, the Jiang tribe was so generous, and they had no reason to be worse than each other, so some things that were not ready to help were also sent out without hesitation, even including some armaments and weapons, grain and grass, in short, much more than Shennong's original plan, which was somewhat unexpected, but this was better, and he had to continue the second strategy, that is, to stir up incidents on both sides and buy time for himself.
