Chapter 70: The Instigators

"Richie, we didn't promise to help them!"

Po Yi looked at Li Qi in surprise, and said: "Their Wild Lake Department is stronger than our Black Stone Valley, and the other party is four tribes, they can't beat them, how can we beat it!" ”

Li Qi sighed and said, "Po Yi, I don't want to help them, but to help ourselves." ”

Po Yi wondered, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Taba said, "I know that those four tribes are here for pots and bowls, so they will definitely come to attack us. ”

"Taba is right." Li Qi nodded and said, "The fundamental reason for this battle is those pots and bowls, and the only one who can produce pots and bowls is our Blackstone Valley, so those four tribes will definitely not let us go." ”

"That's... So what to do? Po Yi panicked.

Blackstone Valley had never encountered such a situation, and one of the reasons why they were afraid to go out before was that they were afraid of being attacked by other tribes, and this time there were four tribes.

Li Qi said: "Po Yi doesn't need to be alarmed, now that our Blackstone Valley is much stronger than before, there is no need to be afraid of them at all, because we have bows and arrows and armor, as well as the help of those deer beasts, and with the help of the people of the Wild Lake Department, I am sure that we can win this battle." ”

"Really... Really? ”

Po Yi looked at Li Qi, she had no concept of being strong.

Li Qi nodded and said, "Of course, if Po Yi doesn't believe it, you can ask Chi to ask." ”

Po Yi really didn't give face, so she directly called Chi in, and in this regard, she still trusts Chi the most.

After Chi learned what had happened, he looked at Li Qi again, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "If they dare to attack us, we will definitely be able to defeat them." ”

Li Qi said suddenly: "If we wait until they get to the door, then it may be enough." First of all, if we are blocked by them at the door, although it will be difficult for them to get in, we will not be able to get out, we will not be able to play to the advantages of our deer beasts, and if they attack our gate with fire, it will be bad! ”

Fire attack? His bare eyes widened, he didn't expect this at all, and it is estimated that no one would have thought of it, there are no traps in these years, what kind of fire attack is there, this is really beyond their imagination, and asked Li Qi: "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Li Qi said: "Take the initiative." ”

Equator: "But we don't have as many people as they do." ”

Li Qi said: "You also know this, then I think the four tribes will also think the same, they will not think that we will take the initiative to attack, so that we can ambush in one place and ambush them with bows and arrows, just like when we set a trap to capture deer and beasts." ”

When he heard this, he couldn't help but think about it, Li Qi's words contained the art of war, that is, he was unexpected, and he couldn't fully understand it for a while, but he felt that what Li Qi said was very reasonable, and more importantly, he believed that Li Qi had expected this battle, which was also the main reason why he was confident that he could win.

In fact, he guessed correctly, Li Qi not only expected it, but could even say that this is what he single-handedly pushed behind.

When Xiaobai first proposed the concept of exchange, Li Qi had already thought that this could be used, there is a law in business, that is, the risk and the benefit are proportional, the higher the benefit, the greater the risk, and in this era when human civilization has not been fully opened, the benefit of exchange is huge, because today's people are so foolish, but the risk is also huge, because there is no moral etiquette to bind human beings.

If I can grab it, then why did I exchange it with you?

Stealing will definitely be illegal and despised in the future, but now, this is the last word!

The biggest obstacle to the emergence of civilization is barbarism, in fact, barbarism is a kind of tradition, and there will always be a struggle between the old and new forces, which will continue forever.

The first time, Li Qi exchanged with them, it was deliberately to lower the price of the bowl, in fact, he could have negotiated a better price, but he didn't, he just wanted to give the Yehu Department enough profit margins, and instigated them to intensify their efforts and use the exchange to plunder the resources of the rest of the tribes, of course, in order to let them plunder more resources at the same time, Li Qi deliberately raised the price of the pot.

But it was only a temptation, and Richie was not sure that there would be war, but as the chickens soon brought more dried fish and hides, he already knew that the situation was moving in the direction he had hoped.

Because you don't have to think about it, Xiaobai and they definitely didn't keep those pots and bowls, but earned the difference from them, they definitely exchanged all the pots and bowls for more food, and then came to exchange with Blackstone Valley, and the exchange conditions given by Blackstone Valley were low, which was simply a huge profit.

But even so, Li Qi was not sure that there would be a fight soon, so he made two preparations, on the one hand, he had saved enough pottery to exchange with the Yehu Department in advance, and he firmly believed that if this exchange continued, there would be a fight one day, otherwise, the Yehu Bu might be the first tribe. But on the other hand, he began to hoard food on a large scale in preparation for the war that might come.

Once the fight starts, the Wild Lake Department will definitely run to the Black Rock Valley, because there are five tribes around the Wild Lake Department, and the four tribes fight it, and the Black Rock Valley is the only place to go, and Li Qi deliberately said that he wanted to share the weal and sorrow with them that night, in fact, he told them that once they were beaten, they would run to the Black Rock Valley.

However, the purpose of Li Qi's promotion of all this was not to get out of the Blackstone Valley, because it was meaningful to go out and not to wander around, and his only purpose in provoking this struggle was to take advantage of the situation to annex the five tribes in one fell swoop and obtain sufficient productivity and means of production. After all, Blackstone Valley is too small, there are few manpower, and it is closed, which is not conducive to development, no matter how good you play here, you can't play a flower, and besides, the danger always exists, and only with enough manpower can you resist a greater crisis.

Of course, Li Qi didn't give Po Yi a choice, because the pots and bowls are from the Black Rock Valley, and if you close the door, it doesn't mean that others won't come to you.

Even if Po Yi was unwilling, she could only choose to believe Li Qi, because she had no idea how to deal with the coming war, and Li Qi was right.

......

"Although the people of the Wild Lake Department have fled here, they are far more numerous than us, so we must be cautious. Later, I let them in one by one and collected their weapons, and you have to secretly tell everyone to cheer up, not to giggle with them, and to keep a certain distance from them as much as possible. Oh, I'll call Rong and Rumble to guard the entrance of the cave with their weapons later. ”

Li Qi instructed Chi as he walked out of the cave.

Chi asked, "Do you think they attacked us?" ”

If they had this intelligence, they would have completed the unification long ago! Li Qi said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, it is unlikely, if they really came to attack us, they should not bring women and children, but if the chicken prostitutes are telling the truth, then they attack us and cooperate with us, obviously cooperating with us will help them more, if they fight us again, then when the enemy arrives, they will not be able to resist." But this is just my speculation, this hurtful heart is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. ”

Chi nodded and said, "I see! ”

"How? What do you think? ”

The two had just come to the outside of the cave when they saw the chicken prostitute coming over.

Li Qi said: "Po Yi has promised to help you, but our rules in Blackstone Valley are that you can't lower the gate at night, so your people must use vines to climb up. ”

The chicken prostitute nodded and said, "There is no problem with this. ”

"Also, you must surrender your weapons for the time being," said Rich. ”

The chicken prostitute was stunned, and then said cautiously: "Why? ”

Li Qi said: "Because this is the latest rule in our Blackstone Valley, any outsider who enters our Blackstone Valley must hand over their weapons. ”

Red has reached out to the chicken prostitute.

"Why do you have so many rules in Blackstone Valley?" The chicken prostitute said depressedly.

Li Qi smiled: "Don't worry about it, hand it over quickly, in case the enemy chases you, your people will be in danger." ”

Although the chicken prostitute was reluctant, he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he could only honestly hand over the weapon at his waist to Chi, who took the weapon and left.

Li Qi suddenly pulled the chicken prostitute to his side and said in a low voice: "Chicken prostitute, you tell me honestly, they have really been chasing you?" ”

The chicken prostitute said: "When... Of course it's true? ”

Li Qi said: "Chicken prostitute, I am really helping you, if you lie to me, it may cause us to both fail." ”

The chicken prostitute frowned, scratched her head and said: "Actually, we don't know, after we ran out, we didn't see them chasing after us, but they may also be behind, it's just that we ran too fast." ”

How fast can you drag your family and mouthful! Li Qi nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's go, you go and tell your people to hand over their weapons." ”

The chicken prostitute followed Li Qi to the front of the valley, and told his people in a loud voice to climb up the rattan one by one, and then surrender all their weapons.

The people of the Wild Lake Department have no opinion at all, as long as they can let them in, not to mention the weapons, the chrysanthemums are willing to hand them over, and they are also the first time they have suffered this catastrophe, and they are like frightened birds.

When a man came up, he collected their weapons and led them to the other side of the stream. At the same time, Rong had already lit a fire over there, and they were guarding it with weapons, and Li Qi had instructed Qiaoma and the women to take some food out of the hole in the ground for them to eat.
