Yizhihua was woken up by a few of her companions. When the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info opened their eyes, they saw a starry sky.

Although I had woken up and my head was still groggy, I still remembered why I had fallen to this point.

This plum blossom, why don't you talk about it at all, you pour so much wine in your life, this is to pour people to death.

Hmph, kindness is not easy to repay, okay, count you ruthless, this account, the old lady wrote it down for you.

I finally woke up, and if I just lay down like this at night, there was a chance that I would really call the wolf to eat it.

"Big boss, what are we going to do?"

"Go back, find Chief Min, and tell him to clean up that slut of Lamei Blossom. Don't you like men, when the time comes, I will arrest you, and ask all the men in the government corps to ...... you, forget it, let's go, first find an Ao Bao to rest, find something to eat, I'm starving. ”

Looking at the stars in the sky and roughly identifying the direction, the four of them began to walk eastward.

This place is not far from the three-eyed well of the Huimeng, and you can still faintly see the lights not far away.

Perhaps it is because of the proximity to the three-eyed well, where there are lights and popularity, that the wolves, who usually come out at night, do not come close here.

Otherwise, a few drunks would have been lying on the steppe and would have called the wolf to eat.

Even so, after walking for half an hour, I still heard a wolf howl not far away along the way.

Fortunately, several people have been bandits for many years, and on the Wendula Mountain, they often see wild beasts, but they are not too afraid.

After walking for more than an hour, I was far away from the three-eyed well, and I knew that they would not chase after the plum blossoms, so I felt a little more relaxed.

The horse that had been ridden was thrown into the three-eyed well, and he did not dare to go back to look for it, so he had to continue walking. After walking for nearly an hour, I found an Ao Bao.

Ao Bao is an artificial structure often seen on the grassland. In the Windula grasslands, it is generally made of stones and earth, and to a lesser extent, it is also made of wood and branches.

Ao Bao was first built as a marker for roads and land boundaries. Its role is to give directions, discern directions, and demarcate boundaries. Later, it evolved into a building similar to an altar. It is used to worship gods such as mountain gods and road gods, and pray for peace and happiness.

According to the tradition of the Wendura grassland, when pedestrians pass by Aobao, they must dismount and worship as a sign of respect.

The reason why I am looking for Ao Bao is that in addition to identifying the direction, I still want to find something to eat here. When I arrived at the Sanyan Well, before I could eat, I was poured a stomach full of wine by the plum blossoms, and I was already dizzy from hunger.

Every year in May, various tribes hold a ceremony to worship Ao Bao, so Yizhihua hopes to find some sacrifices to eat here.

In some areas, there will be a small grass hut near the bag, and some water and food will be placed in the grass hut for people passing by who do not carry food. This custom, also a tradition in the Windura steppes, has been passed down for many years.

There were no offerings on the Ao Bao, however, in a nearby grass hut, food was found. There is water, cheese and sautéed yellow rice.

A few people gobbled up their fill, and their spirits were completely relaxed. However, he still didn't dare to be careless, and wolf howls were heard from time to time outside.

However, near Ao Bao, there was another grass hut, and a few people had something to rely on, so they cursed the plum blossoms countless times while waiting for dawn.

Although there are many mosquito bites at night, it is May and mosquitoes do not bite people. If two months have passed, when the mosquitoes bite people, at night in the grassland overgrown with grass, the mosquitoes can bite the person to death.

In summer, the sun is early in the morning, and the sun jumps out of the end of the grassland. Afraid that Lamei would find out, a few people ate something more, so they hurried away.

On the way, I met an Ao Bao, but this time I was unlucky and didn't find anything to eat. At noon, I dug up some grass roots and ate them. After walking for more than an hour, I came across a small lake.

There are a lot of fish in the lake, and they are very stupid, and they can be forked with a sharp point with a wooden stick. I forked more than 20 pieces in a row, cooked a dozen of them on a fire and ate them, and roasted the rest and took them to eat on the road.

In the evening, they finally arrived at the B12 Guanzhuang in the territory controlled by Bukui, explained the situation, and the Guanzhuang got them food, and stayed in the Guanzhuang at night.

Early the next morning, he borrowed a few horses from No. 12 Guanzhuang, whipped them quickly, and hurried back to Bukui at noon.

As soon as she saw Jia Min, Yizhihua knelt on the ground and cried, and after a while, she finally explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Jia Min asked Yizhihua and the others to go back and rest, and then summoned Feng Ziying, Zhao Dahai and others to a meeting to study strategies to deal with plum blossoms.

La Meihua's actions angered Jia Min. Let him realize that for these tribes, Huairou alone can't do it, and when necessary, he has to teach them a hard lesson. Otherwise, they won't take you seriously.

This act of insulting the messenger, and even feeding the messenger to the wolf, is beyond the bottom line of patience. They must be made to pay for it.

In the vast southern and northern Wendura grasslands, although nominally the territory of the Dade Dynasty, for more than 100 years, the imperial court has never exercised the same effective control and rule over the Wendura grasslands as it did in the interior.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, the tradition of the imperial power not going to the countryside. In addition, it is a remote area, so the imperial power has never penetrated deeply into the grassland society.

Second, there are huge administrative costs and cultural differences, which also bring great difficulties to the effective control of grasslands.

Therefore, for more than 100 years, it basically belongs to an administrative pattern authorized by the imperial court and ruled by the tribal leaders of the grassland.

However, this pattern is only de jure. Many times, the tribal leaders don't think so.

In their minds, the grassland is where they have grown up for generations, and other forces have no control over them.

The submission to the imperial power is also a choice they have to make when their own strength is insufficient. Unless the imperial army presses the border, they don't have much court awareness.

On the surface, the vast Wendura grassland presents an idyllic style everywhere. But, more often than not, it's just a superficial phenomenon.

All kinds of fierce and cruel battles and fights have never stopped on the grassland.

This kind of contention is generally manifested in three forms.

The first is intra-tribal contention. The smaller one is the struggle between families and clans, and the more advanced and more intense ones are the battles for tribal inheritance.

This kind of thing is played out to varying degrees in almost every tribe.

The second is tribal rivalry and tribal annexation.

There are various forms of contention, but in essence, they are all battles for living space. It's about resources.

These resources include natural resources such as pastures, water sources, mountains and forests, and rivers, as well as property resources such as livestock and various means of production, and human resources such as trade routes and trade monopolies.

There is also a kind of competition, which is the plundering of population.

In the plundering of the population, there are several groups that are favored by them.

One is craftsmen, who can bring them technology and processing capabilities.

The second is women, who can give them offspring.

The third is that children, because they are young, have no ability to resist, and it is convenient to carry out slavery education from an early age.

The fate of the plundered population is basically very tragic, and the vast majority of them are slaves for them.

The third type of contention is to directly compete with Bu Kui's imperial court forces.

Most of the time, they did not dare to confront the imperial court head-on. However, when the power of the imperial court was weak, they didn't care about taking advantage of the fire to rob.

The most typical one is one fifty years ago.

On that occasion, the Tatar tribal alliance of the northern Vendura steppes came in from the Windula Pass, swept across the southern Windura steppe, and finally fought all the way to Bukui.

After destroying the Bukui garrison and plundering it, a large fire burned Bukui to ashes.

The current city of Bukui was built after that fire.

When Bukui's strength was weak, the four major tribes in the grasslands of South Wendula also harassed and plundered Bukui from time to time.

Grab the territory with Bu Kui, they don't dare yet. However, from time to time, there will still be things like the snatching of some livestock, property, and the robbery of merchants' goods.

As for the smuggling of strategic materials, taking in exiles as slaves is a frequent occurrence.

La Meihua's challenge to Bu Kui this time was not the result of her impulse, but a decision made after careful consideration. Even if it weren't for the mission, she would have taken such an action.

First, there is the threat from outside the Windula grassland. Mainly refers to the pressure of the Union of Tatar Tribes in the steppes of North Vendura.

The Tatar tribal alliance has coveted the southern Wendura steppe for a long time, and in recent years, it has repeatedly crossed the Wendura Pass and infiltrated the southern Wendura steppe.

The Rasun tribe, which was closest to them, had already begun to fight with the Tatars.

If the Tatars enter the South Wendura steppe, the Iron Buddha tribe will lose its status as the largest tribe, and when the time comes, they will have to look at the Tatars.

Therefore, she must establish her absolute authority among the four tribes and stop the division of the four tribes, so that she can deal with the Tatars.

In order to establish one's prestige, it is the easiest choice to create an external threat and unite internally.

He chose this threat on Bukui.

The reason why she chose Bukui over Tatar was because she thought that she could take advantage of Bukui enough.

At present, Jia Min has just arrived in Bukui, and his foothold is not stable. Bu Kui did not get the support of Ningguta, and he was alone, so this was a good time to attack Bu Kui.

Jia Min cleared Zhong Ding, who had provided them with pig iron, and possibly asked them to hand over the fugitives, which caused damage to their interests.

At this point, the interests of the four major tribes are aligned.

As for asking the children of the four major tribes to go to school in Bukui, taking them hostage and poisoning them in wine, it was just an excuse.
