On the way back, Zhao Hongrun accidentally learned that the Qian people who were defeated by the Qin army on the battlefield of the Huayang Plain were the Yi tribe, one of the three major tribes of the Qian people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Zhao Hongrun knew that most of the people of the Qiang tribe who lived in the west of Sanchuan were people from the Shan tribe.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun secretly sighed.

In fact, his impression of the Yi tribe was not bad, after all, when Zhao Hongrun led the army to attack the Qianjiao tribe, the Yi tribe was the first tribe among the original Qianjiao people to hope for peace talks with Wei, and the leader Ordmer, who was sent by the Yi tribe at that time, was also a wise person among the Qian.

It's just that the original tribe is so weak?

Zhao Hongrun asked Lu Balon.

Unexpectedly, Lu Balon asked in surprise: "His Royal Highness King Su doesn't know about the civil strife of the Yi tribe? ”

"What civil strife?" Zhao Hongrun really doesn't know.

As a result, Lu Baron told Zhao Hongrun about the civil strife that had happened to the Yi tribe in the past two years.

I remember that the leader of the Yi tribe, Erdmo, once attended the negotiations between Wei and Sanchuan on behalf of the latter on the grounds that the chief of the tribe, Feiyang Tahui, was old and weak.

Zhao Hongrun was clear about this matter, and he also allowed it.

In fact, Erdemer lied at the time.

It was not to deceive Zhao Hongrun, on the contrary, Ordmo concealed the fact that the patriarch of the tribe, Feiyang Tahui, was terminally ill.

Subsequently, waiting for the Wei State to reach an agreement with Sanchuan, and the Sichuan Alliance was also established, the great patriarch of the Yi tribe, Feiyang Tahui, finally passed away with peace of mind after learning about it.

Before his death, Feiyang Tahun elected Ordmer, who was equivalent to his right and left hand, as the chief of the Yi tribe.

This action aroused the displeasure of several of Feyantahun's sons, so much so that a few months later, Feyantahun's sons plotted a rebellion and instigated the tribe's warriors to attack Ordmer.

The civil strife lasted for several months and ended in Ordmer's victory.

However, Ordmer did not kill the sons of the old patriarch Feiyangtahun, but graciously allowed the latter to leave the tribe.

So, some of them left with the sons of the old patriarch Feyantahun and went to the far north.

But then again, although Ordmer's generosity saved his life, the rebels were also exiled by Erdmer.

And because of this civil strife, the strength of the Yi tribe can be said to be greatly weakened.

“…… Ordmer, already the great patriarch of the Yi tribe? ”

When Zhao Hongrun listened to Lu Balon's story, he was really taken aback.

I still remember that a while ago, when those Lun warriors sent back the reply of the Yi tribe, Zhao Hongrun felt a little puzzled at that time, thinking that the attitude of the Yi tribe was so good, he said that he wanted to watch the war between the Yi tribe and the Qin army, but the Yi tribe agreed without saying a word, and asked people to tell him that there would be a war in a few days.

It turned out that the person who sent the message back to those Lun warriors was actually Erdemer, who had met once, a wise leader who had sensed the threat of Qin at that time and advocated an alliance with the Wubian tribe to fight against Qin.

"We're going to have to see it."

Zhao Hongrun, who originally didn't plan to stay here, immediately changed his attention after learning that Ordemer had become the patriarch of the Yi tribe.

At his behest, Lubaron sent several Lun warriors to the camp of the Yi tribe again to convey the matter to Ordmer.

The next day, Erdemer commissioned the Lun warriors to send a reply: Welcome His Royal Highness King Su to be a guest.

After receiving the invitation of Erdemo, Zhao Hongrun took Lintao Jun Wei Ji, Lu Balon and all the sect guards to the camp of the Yi tribe.

Knowing that he was coming, Erdmo personally took a dozen people to wait outside the tribal camp, and when he saw Zhao Hongrun, he was also very enthusiastic.

"A few days ago, Xiao Wang didn't know that the leader of Ordmo had been promoted to the great patriarch, and if he was rude, he hoped that the great patriarch would not care."

When he saw Erdmer, Zhao Hongrun clasped his fists and took the lead in apologizing in an apologetic tone.

In this regard, Erdemer waved his hand and laughed at it.

Of course, he understood why Zhao Hongrun didn't come to visit his tribe a few days ago, it was just that he was worried about taking it down, after all, the relationship between the tribe and the Wei State was not as trusted by the Wei State as the Sichuan Alliance.

Erdmo welcomed Zhao Hongrun into the tribal camp, and on the way, Zhao Hongrun was surprised to see that the Yi tribesmen in the camp seemed to be packing their bags, and he immediately understood something.

But because of the other party's face, Zhao Hongrun didn't open his mouth to make it clear.

Unexpectedly, Ordmer himself told the truth.

"My tribe...... Ready to move east. ”

When he said this, Erdmer's face was very unpleasant, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

Zhao Hongrun was silent for a moment when he heard this, carefully considered his words, and asked, "Is the situation so bad?" ”

"Hmm." Erdemer nodded, and said in a low tone: "Nearly 100,000 slaves were killed in two defeats, and the strength of the Qin army was beyond my expectations. ”

Because Erdemer is talking about Wei Yan, even Lintaojun Wei Ji can roughly understand it, so Lintaojun Wei Ji interjected incredibly: "This great patriarch, forgive the contemptible people to say bluntly, although your tribe has suffered two defeats, the elite of your tribe is still there, why do you retreat lightly?" ”

Erdemer glanced at Lintao Jun Wei Ji and did not speak.

As Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, said, although the Yi tribe has suffered two defeats so far, however, the soldiers of the Yi tribe have hardly suffered too many losses due to the death of some low-status slaves on the battlefield. If the Yi tribe is willing to give up everything, regardless of the casualties of the warriors in the tribe and the Qin army, it may not be possible to pull out a few tiger teeth from the mouth of the Qin army's fierce tiger.

But the problem is that Ordmer can't do that, even though he is now the Grand Patriarch of the Yi tribe.

In fact, in the final analysis, the class composition of the Sanchuan tribe is actually very similar to that of the Central Plains country, and the patriarch is like a king, and the leaders under his hands are like the nobles and clans under the rule of the king of the Central Plains country.

If the latter supports the former, then the great patriarch is certainly supreme; On the other hand, if none of the leaders in the tribe support the decision of the great patriarch, then the patriarch actually does not have much power.

And now Ordmer's situation is like this: the first two defeats made the leaders of his tribe generally afraid of the Qin army, and they were unwilling to let their own warriors fight the Qin army.

In the eyes of those people, Sanchuan did not belong only to their Shan tribe, and in this land, there were still many powerful forces such as the Shan tribe, the Antelope tribe, the Wuxu Royal Court, and the Sichuan Alliance, so why should the Shan tribe resist the attack of the Qin army alone?

After listening to Erdemer's story, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised at all, after all, he had seen too much of this kind of.

People, selfishness is inevitable, looking at the whole world, how many people can be righteous and selfless?

"What are the specific plans of the Great Patriarch?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

Erdemer knew what Zhao Hongrun wanted to ask, thought for a while and said: "Right now, I am pinning my hopes on the geographical advantages of my Sanchuan, the Qin army does not necessarily know the situation of my Sanchuan, plus the cold winter is coming, he rashly led the army into my Sanchuan, maybe there is no need for our army, the weather in Sanchuan can kill most of the Qin army......"

Zhao Hongrun nodded slightly.

I have to say that the cold winter here in Sanchuan is indeed a disaster.

As far as he knew, in the past, the sheep that were frozen to death in the entire Sanchuan County in the cold winter every year were no less than the trading volume between Sichuan and Wei; In addition, the number of slaves who freeze to death every year in Mikawa County is almost close to the number of slaves who die due to the war.

The cold winter in the land of Sanchuan is far more threatening than the cold winter of Wei, if the Qin army did not make sufficient preparations in advance, then half of them were frozen to death in this cold winter, and it would not be just Erde's silent mouth.

But the problem is, since the Qin State used a huge army against Sanchuan County, how could it not know the situation on Sanchuan's side in advance?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Hongrun felt that it was better not to demolish Erdmo, after all, the great patriarch of the Yi tribe had no choice.

He opened his mouth and said, "Although this plan is good, it may cause dissatisfaction among the Karma, Ling, and the Ursu Royal Court......

Erdemer smiled bitterly when he heard this.

But isn't it, the Ta tribe migrated eastward, and fled eastward to put it mildly, so the two big tribes of the Qiang and Ling, who are also Qiang people, as well as the Wuxu Royal Court, will inevitably be exposed to the Qin army.

In this way, how can the latter three give the tribe a good look?

However, there was nothing else Ordmer could do.

After a long sigh, Erdemer asked Zhao Hongrun: "His Royal Highness King Su, I wonder if Sichuan and your country will participate in this battle?" ”

"Of course." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said, "I made an appointment to advance and retreat together, how could I lose my trust?" ”

Hearing this, Erdemo really breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the power of the Sichuan-Yu Alliance in Sanchuan was definitely not inferior to the three major tribes of their Qian, let alone the Wei State behind the Sichuan-Yu Alliance.

"But this king has to make it clear in advance that it is unlikely that my Great Wei will send troops this year, and I have to wait until the beginning of spring next year." Zhao Hongrun added.

Erdemer nodded, having no objection to this.

After all, it was already close to November at this time, and when the Wei army arrived in Sanchuan County, it must be December, which was the coldest time in Sanchuan County.

What is Wei Jun doing here? Food is wasted.

On the same day, Erdemer killed sheep to entertain Zhao Hongrun and his party, and the two sides agreed on some things, and then the next day, Zhao Hongrun set off to return to Huayin and was also ready to evacuate east.

After all, the purpose of his trip was to assess the strength of the Qin army, and since the purpose had been achieved, what were he doing here?

When Zhao Hongrun returned to Huayin and quickly evacuated eastward with Ran Teng and Xiang Li, the Yi tribe also moved the entire tribe.

The defeat of the Yi tribe made the momentum of the Qin army even more rapid.

A few days later, the Qin army, which had already occupied Huayang, waved its army to conquer Shanglu in the southeast, and then continued to move forward, conquering a hill known locally as Wuqiu.

The south of Wuqiu is the territory of the Qiang tribe, one of the three major tribes of the Qiang people, due to the defeat of the Qiang tribe, the Qiang tribe that is at war with the Ba people has been threatened by the Qin army.

Baturu, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, was furious, so he had to hastily end the war with Ba and transfer the main forces to Sanchuan's side.

At this point, the Karma tribe and the Karma tribe were at odds. (To be continued.) )
