Chapter 153: The Silent Farewell Feast
The coalition forces are falling apart! In fact, this ending has been doomed since the defeat of the Xixiang Army's Dongying last time. Because the vampires behind the coalition have grown impatient, they have completely lost the last shred of patience. But Shesu didn't expect the coalition to collapse so quickly. Originally, he wanted to make amends. But now there is no chance.
The departure of the three tribes of Tizi, Beina, and Tutunu revealed the end of the alliance of the various tribes. In addition to the remnants of the tribes, there are ten other tribes participating in the alliance this time. Now that four tribes have fled, the main force of the Enterprise Department has been brought back by Dugu to support his hometown. There are only five of the entire coalition forces left. The combined strength of the remaining five divisions is less than two thousand. And the morale is extremely low, and it can no longer threaten the east camp of the Xixiang Army.
In fact, up to now, the alliance launched by the Kuka Ministry to defeat the Saigo Army has completely failed. At this time, the allied forces of the various ministries had no meaning of existence. If they continue to stay here, they will be threatened by the Saigo Army.
The coalition forces came to crusade against the Xixiang Army, in addition to wanting to solve the hidden dangers, but also wanting to obtain the benefits of the war. Now the crusade has been lost. There's no need for them to stay here and guard the gates for Kuka. What's more, the Hu pawns of the remaining coalition forces saw Tizi and the other three leave, and they all felt homesick, and they had become warless. So the rest of the adults seemed to have already discussed, and they began to pack up and prepare to leave. Shesu and Su Bu also came to dissuade them, but they were as ineffective as the previous three.
Early the next morning, in addition to the Lirong Department and the Kuka Department, the remaining three divisions of the allied forces also left one after another. It is worth mentioning that the unkind Black Cluster took the opportunity to annex the Odo Summons who had been left behind by Dugu to guard the camp. This is also a small profit. During this period, Eduozhao also sent people to ask for help from Shesu. Although Shesu sent an envoy to mediate, it did not stop it. This can also be regarded as a disguised acquiescence to the shameless behavior of the black cluster.
The Hu people are interested, and although Shesu has a good relationship with Dugu, they can even be regarded as allies in a sense. But Shesu will never offend the black cluster for the sake of these more than 100 enterprises and the so-called 'affection'. This is because doing so is detrimental to the interests of the Ministry of Separation. It is very close to the Rong tribe and the black cluster of their tribe. But it's very far away from the enterprise department. As a tribal adult, you must think about the tribe in everything.
By the time they left, the entire coalition camp was empty. The only ones left who have not left are the Lirong Department and the Kuka Ministry. In fact, the current coalition battalion has become unsafe. At this time, the combined number of coalition forces was less than a thousand. is no longer the opponent of the Saigo Army. At the same time, the scouts of the Saigo Army outside the coalition camp became more and more active. Although Shesu also organized several waves of rangers to hunt down the scouts of the Xixiang Army, it had no effect.
In the early morning of the day after they left. As the initiator of the alliance, Su Bu and the leader of the coalition held a feast before parting. The coalition forces have been utterly defeated. No matter how much she doesn't want to admit it, that's the case. After a series of defeats, as well as the effects of the departure of the coalition units. Now most of the soldiers under Shesu have lost the desire to continue fighting. Some of the soldiers even began to become war-weary. In order to prevent his subordinates from mutiny, Shesu had no choice but to issue an order to withdraw his troops.
The practice of drinking feasts is very simple, a few bags of milk wine, two small maza. It is not as cumbersome as the farewell banquet of the Zhao people (Han people) family. The two of them did not have the same sadness as they parted. Instead, he drank in silence. It looked like the two of them were drinking buddies rather than two people who were about to separate.
In fact, they can also be understood, after all, they are the two biggest victims after the failure of the alliance to defeat the Xixiang army. It is also human nature to be depressed in the heart.
Among the various tribes in the entire Langya County, the strength of the Lirong Department is the number one. Although it is not yet a large tribe, among the medium tribes, the strength is definitely top-notch. This is also the reason why Shesu can become the leader of the alliance. However, although the Lirong Department is strong, it is not very united internally. Although Shesu was a lord (i.e., the leader), there were still many people in the Lirong Department who disobeyed him, and even more disobeyed his orders. The reason why Shesu participated in the alliance this time was not only to eliminate the hidden danger of the Xixiang Army and to seek practical benefits for the tribe. There is also the desire to gain great prestige through this alliance, so that the Hui clan can suppress the hostile forces in the clan.
But the idea is good, the reality is cruel. Shesu seriously underestimated the strength of the Saigo Army. The allied forces were directly stopped outside the Dongying by the Xixiang Army. After several days of onslaught, not only did they not achieve any results, but they ended up in disgrace. So much so that the coalition forces collapsed in the end. There is no doubt that Shesu will definitely be pulled out to take the blame, after all, Shesu is the leader of the alliance of the various ministries. Now that the coalition has been disbanded, once Shesu, which has been seriously weakened in both hard power and prestige, returns to the Lirong Division, it will definitely be frantically counterattacked by the hostile forces in the clan. At that time, let alone the position of an adult, it is even possible that his life will not be saved. If Shesu is in a good mood at this time, it will make people feel strange.
On the other hand, Subu doesn't have to worry about being robbed of his adult position. But don't forget. The Kuka Ministry was the initiator of the alliance. As early as that time, the Kuka Department had actually formed a mortal enmity with the Xixiang Army. Now that the coalition forces have been disbanded, the Kuka Division, which has lost the protection of the coalition forces, has undoubtedly become the primary target of the Saigo Army. After all, the Kuka Department is the closest to the Hang, and the hatred with the Saigo Army is the highest.
If it's okay at other times. Kuka can be migrated. After all, the Kukabu can run at any time as a nomad. Although there will be a lot of losses due to this. But at least it can save the vitality of the tribe. But not now, it's freezing cold and it's starting to snow. If they are forcibly relocated, there will definitely be many deaths and injuries among people and animals. The tribe will also be greatly damaged by this. If you're unlucky enough to run into other tribes on the way to migration. Su Bu didn't think they would let go of the big fat sheep of Kukabu. At that time, there is a possibility that the Kukabu will even be exterminated. If the Kuka Ministry wants to move, it will at least wait until tomorrow spring. And during this time, the Kuka Department will face a frantic counterattack by the Xixiang Army.
Shesu drinks very quickly, and can even be described as pouring. In a short time, the three bags of milk wine in front of him were all drunk.
The degree of milk wine is not high, and Shesu is still in good spirits after drinking it, and there is no sign of drunkenness at all. After a full hiccups, Shesu stood up and stretched widely.
"Gone! Brothers. She Su hugged his fist at Su Bu.
"Let's go! I do not send it. "Subu also holds his fists.
She Su didn't say anything more, but turned around and left. In this practice banquet, the two of them are not friends, nor enemies, nor are they close friends. It's just two ordinary drinking friends, and they can't talk about any feelings. Maybe after today, the two of them will never see each other again.
……
"Social rights, how's the negotiation going?" On a certain road, Shesu, who was leading the army back to the Lirong Ministry, asked his henchman Shequan.
"It's going well, but their asking price is too high." Shequan replied honestly.
"It's not a problem to ask for a high price, as long as they're willing to help. It's a big deal, let's find the right time to grab it back later. She Su said with a sigh of relief. For things like that, Shesu is very open-minded.
"My lord, are we really going to do this? This is a betrayal of the Separation Ministry! Shequan asked worriedly.
She Su did not answer the question of social rights head-on, but asked rhetorically: "Social rights, do you know why I have not been strong for so many years? ”
"My subordinates don't know!" Shequan immediately shook his head and said. This is a sensitive issue. Although the social right is relatively wooden, he is not stupid!
"Then let so-and-so tell you! After this failed crusade. Let a certain understand a truth. Internal troubles are far more serious than external enemies. The reason why I still can't get strong is because of the presence of those bloodsucking worms. They hindered my progress from the Rong Ministry. No matter what the cost is this time, we must eliminate these maggots on the tarsal bones! She Su said solemnly.
"My subordinates are willing to follow my lord!" After listening to Shesu's bold words, Shequan immediately knelt down and said. As for whether it was because he was worried that after the defeat of the Shesu, he would be implicated as a confidant of the Shesu, it is unknown.
