Because of the surrender of those tribal patriarchs in the city, the Wei army quickly entered the city.

However, Zhao Hongrun could not do anything about the fire that was still burning in the south of the city, so he could only wait for it to be extinguished naturally after it burned out of oil.

It has to be said that this is the disadvantage of using oil as a raw material for fire attacks: it is impossible to artificially contain the fire after the war.

Fortunately, the Wei army's catapults did not throw many oil barrels and bombs into the city, so not long after the Wei army was stationed in the city, the fire in the south of the city was almost burned, because the oil fuel was exhausted, the fire gradually decreased, and it was estimated that it would be completely extinguished in about half an hour.

After entering the city, because the Shang Shui Army needed a large amount of open space to park and pull carts, the civilian shelter in the north of the city was banned, and except for the Lun tribe of the Qiang tribe, the rest of the tribes returned to their respective tribal camps and left the vacant land for the Shang Shui Army.

As for the city defense, it was taken over by the infantry of the Dangshan Army, and the weapons of all the tribal warriors in the city were confiscated by the Wei people, and those tribal warriors were ordered to return to their respective tribal camps and not move around without permission.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was invited by the tribal patriarchs to the felt tent they originally used for ceremonies, the only difference is that now the surroundings are controlled by Su Wangwei and Dangshan soldiers.

However, during this period, something happened that surprised Zhao Hongrun, that is, the Dangshan sergeant who was responsible for climbing the guard on the north city wall came to report that they saw a large group of people about two miles north of the city, and it was roughly estimated that there were as many as twenty or thirty thousand.

Just when Zhao Hongrun was shocked by this, the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halegohe, calmly told him the truth about the twenty or thirty thousand people.

"King Su, please don't be surprised, it's my 'Aries' tribe, as well as the 'Meng' tribe, the 'Hydroxy' tribe, and the 'He' tribe......"

When Zhao Hongrun heard this, he was surprised and asked in the language of the Shan tribe: "Why are the people of your four tribes outside the city?" ”

He wondered, because it stands to reason that if these people went to war with their Wei army, they should move their clansmen into the city, how could they be exposed to the wilderness?

Hearing Zhao Hongrun directly ask himself in fluent Mandarin, Halegoh was even more surprised, and after looking at Zhao Hongrun with a look of surprise for a while, he explained: "My four tribes refused to be enemies with your army a few days ago, so we moved our people out of the city, as for why the four of us are in the city, it is because the patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabitu, is worried that we are fornicating with your army, so he put the four of us under house arrest...... Speaking of this, he pointed to Meng Liang, the patriarch of the 'Meng' tribe of the Shan tribe, and continued:" Thanks to the patriarch of the Meng tribe who hid his hand and left dozens of warriors from other tribes, he rescued the four of us during the chaos in the city, and only then did he stop Rabittu's foolish act of demagogic attempts to continue to fight against your army. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Hongrun's impression of Hallegoh suddenly changed, you must know that a moment ago, he thought that this guy was just shirking responsibility, but he didn't expect that this patriarch had stood firmly on the side of their Wei State from the beginning, well, at least he maintained neutrality, which surprised Zhao Hongrun.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but ask curiously: "Patriarch Halgohe, why do you refuse to assist the Qian people and make enemies of my Great Wei army?" ”

Hearing this, Halgoch said solemnly: "Because I want to repay your country's favors." …… King Su may not know that during the hunt, your army helped us repel the hateful horse thieves and rescued many young people of our people. ”

"Yes...... Tiger Ben Praetorian Guard?'

Zhao Hongrun remembered the incident when he was hunting, and the camp was attacked by the big thief Huan Hu and the horse thieves, and his heart suddenly became abrupt.

At this time, Zong Wei Gao Kuo took out the 'Eight Highnesses' booklet from his arms, and said to Zhao Hongrun in his ear: "Your Highness, the Aries tribe is also one of the six tribes that supported my Great Wei when I was hunting. ”

When Zhao Hongrun mentioned it, he immediately smiled on his face, and immediately invited Halegoh to sit down, and instructed the guards to take the wine of their Wei State, and asked Halegoh to taste it.

Halegoh was a little stunned by the sudden enthusiasm of the Su King, but finally accepted the kindness honestly.

"What about the other three patriarchs?"

Zhao Hongrun's gaze looked at the three patriarchs of the 'Meng' tribe, the 'Hydroxy' tribe, and the 'He' tribe.

Among them, Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng tribe, answered similarly to the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halegohe, and also hoped to repay the favor owed to the Tiger Ben Guards during the hunting, the only difference was that he did not support the Wei state during the vote during the hunting, but chose neutrality and abstained from voting.

As for the "Hydroxy" tribe and the "He" tribe, they are only two small tribes, far less large than the Aries tribe and the Meng tribe, and their patriarch is also quite honest, they are afraid of the revenge of the Wei state, so they dare not be enemies of the Wei army, hoping to be pardoned.

But no matter what, no matter what the purpose of these four patriarchs was for refusing to be enemies of the Wei army, it was enough to make Zhao Hongrun have a good impression of them, especially the Aries tribe.

"The four patriarchs are at ease, since the four have never had the intention of being an enemy of our Great Wei army, then, no matter what, this king will not blame you. For the four patriarchs, this king can guarantee that the four and four clansmen can still live in this land, and this king and my Great Wei will regard the four tribes of "White Sheep", "Meng", "Hydroxy", and "He" as our Great Wei's friendly neighbors, and are willing to continue to abide by the "Oath of Wuxu". …… May our friendship last forever! ”

Zhao Hongrun said sincerely and seriously in the Chinese language.

Hearing this, Halegoh and the other three patriarchs were taken aback, they didn't expect Zhao Hongrun to speak such a fluent and fluent Mandarin language, and they didn't expect him to make a promise that 'Wei is willing to continue to abide by the oath of the black whiskers with the four patriarchs', which is simply a great surprise.

"If you don't mind, the four patriarchs will go over there and sit down for a while, and later, this king will discuss with the four of them about the business and trade between the two sides......"

"Trade?" Halegoch asked, puzzled.

"It's a barter deal between the two sides." Zhao Hongrun explained simply: "This king hopes to use some things, such as pearls, lacquerware, and bronze from the Chu State, as well as cotton and gold from my Great Wei Dynasty, to exchange some sheepskins, wool and other things from your tribe. ”

When Halgoh heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking, "Can you exchange rice, wheat, and salt?" ”

"Wheat?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned, frowned and said, "Rice and salt are fine, but wheat ...... My Dawei doesn't seem to be planted. ”

Indeed, the grain cultivation of the Wei State was dominated by rice and corn (yellow rice), and wheat, which was the agricultural product of Korea.

"Where's the weapon?" Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng clan, didn't know what purpose he was at this moment, and asked.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Meng Liang when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If the tribes become allies that my Great Wei can trust, my Great Wei will not mind selling weapons to our friends. ”

"You're willing to sell us weapons?"

Meng Liang was shocked when he heard this, and once again probed: "Including the terrifying crossbows and terrifying arson weapons that your army defeated our soldiers? ”

"Arson Weapon ......"

Zhao Hongrun was a little amused by the patriarch's words, nodded and said, "The crossbow and the catapult are right?" Yes, of course, provided that the tribes are worthy of such trust from my Great Wei. I, Great Wei, am only willing to sell weapons to friendly neighbors who will not aim weapons at our soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Halegoh and Meng Liang glanced at each other and nodded contentedly.

After all, in their opinion, if Wei was really willing to sell weapons to them, then the other party's statement that he was willing to abide by the oath of the black beard was indeed trustworthy.

The four patriarchs happily took their seats on the side of the felt tent, and talked with each other with great interest about the items that needed to be traded when they began trading with the Wei State.

In contrast, the rest of the patriarchs who are still standing in the tent are much more embarrassed.

They already clearly felt that the attitude of the Su King in front of them towards the four patriarchs who 'refused to be enemies of the Wei army' was a world of difference from the attitude of the patriarchs who 'decided to be enemies of the Wei army'.

No, His Royal Highness King Su, who was obviously smiling when he treated Halegoh and the others just now, suddenly put away the smile on his face when he looked at them at this moment.

"Next, this king will talk to you......"

Restraining the smile on his face, Zhao Hongrun said expressionlessly: "You have listened to the bewitchment of the patriarch of the Black Sheep tribe, Rabitu, and my Wei army is the enemy, this king can spare you from dying, but if you betray our trust, this king will no longer trust you." …… From today onwards, the tribes of the patriarchs, please move out of Sanchuan. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this, the faces of the more than ten patriarchs standing in the center of the tent changed greatly, they never expected that the punishment from the Wei army would be so severe.

"Stand back!"

It may be that seeing the angry expressions of these patriarchs, the guards subconsciously protected in front of their highnesses, and drew half of their weapons, ordering these patriarchs who subconsciously surrounded them to retreat.

The warning of the guards made those patriarchs calm down a little, but they still couldn't accept Zhao Hongrun's treatment.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun's explanation is very simple: "Those who are friendly with my Great Wei are guests; Those who are enemies of our Great Wei are prisoners. …… You betrayed the trust of my Great Wei, and this king did not kill you, which is already extraordinarily gracious. …… The land under your feet used to be the land of my Great Wei in the early days of the founding of the country, to put it mildly, you stole it when my Great Wei was at war with Korea, but my Great Wei never took it back by force, and signed the "Oath of Wuxu" with your Wuxu royal court, and lived in harmony with each other. …… Don't my Great Wei have the strength to regain the lost land? No! This king tells you that if I want to take back this land, I can do so at any time. However, my Great Wei did not do this, because of the 'Oath of the Beard', my Great Wei has always regarded you as a friendly neighbor, so I have given this land to you to live in for free for a permanent period. …… But what this king wants to point out is that in the land of Sanchuan, only the Sanchuan tribe, who also abide by the oath of the black beard and regard my Great Wei as a friend, is qualified to live in this fertile land forever! …… I, the Wei people, will not give up this land to any enemy who has met us in the past! ”

Hearing these righteous words, the tribal patriarchs were speechless one by one, after all, what Zhao Hongrun said was conclusive.

And the four patriarchs of the Aries tribe, Halegoh, also sighed secretly after glancing at each other.

Those who are friendly with the Wei State are guests;

Those who are hostile to the Wei State are prisoners.

The young King of Wei Guosu has interpreted this promise with his practical actions. (To be continued.) )
