Chapter 113: Peace Talks
Elder Liangsu was stripped of his clothes and dressed in a bloody tattered animal skin, huddled with other prisoners of war shivering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The wooden room where the prisoners were held was the one where the slaves lived before. It's a remodeled house, the windows are nailed and the doors are stuck from the outside. Only two of the former slaves survived, and they were said to have performed well in battle. I will join the clan for them one day, and I don't need to live here anymore.
No one cares about the life or death of the prisoners of war, and these people will become slaves of the tribe when they turn around, and whether they will join the tribe depends on their performance. Wang Chuan had a fireplace lit, messed with some scraps and bones for them, and talked about a few more, such as not fighting, not stealing other people's food, and not making loud noises. As long as they don't make a lot of noise and don't smash the house, the rest is up to them.
Brought Liang Su out of the prisoner of war. When they saw each other, they were very emotional. Liang Su was not injured. With the urine nature of the tribesmen, those who are more seriously injured will only take their heads and will not become prisoners of war.
Wang Chuan chatted about homely things: "I didn't expect the elder to stay in the Elder Clan. ā
"I don't know that the River tribe has grown so strong in a year." Liang Su was so ashamed and indignant that he didn't dare to raise his head. In the past, the most inconspicuous small tribe in the vicinity would not even see it himself. Now he is a prisoner of their ranks. And judging from many signs, their development is already better than that of the Vulcan tribe, but there are still a little fewer people.
Wang Chuan said: "There is only so much land, if you had known that we had developed like this, maybe you would have done your best to attack us." ā
Liang Su was silent, but said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get any benefits." ā
Wang Chuan said: "Just wait for your words." Since you have this understanding, let's talk about it. ā
"Talk?" Liang Su couldn't keep up with Wang Chuan's train of thought. I am already in the hands of the other party, and it is a matter of one sentence to kill or chop, what is there to talk about?
Wang Chuan said: "I heard Bihu say that if the northern tribes lost the war and were not exterminated, there are many requirements such as land ceasion, compensation for people, and tribute. After the Vulcan tribe lost the battle with us, they sent people to hunt us down despite the agreement. This is faithlessness. After we narrowly escaped, you sent people from the Screaming Clan to trouble us, which is shameless. You went to war without faith and shame, and now we have captured you, and you are alive. It shouldn't be too much for us to put forward a few conditions, right? ā
Liang Su became vigilant: "I am in your hands now, what is the use of promising you what conditions?" ā
Wang Chuan said: "We have no selfish grudges, and from my own point of view, I am quite grateful to you." When we went to the Vulcan tribe, we were almost blasted out, and you received us. I have to thank you for that. Later, we left in a hurry, and before we had time to thank you in person, we asked someone to send you some small things, I don't know if you received it? ā
Liang Su snorted coldly: "That crocodile leather boots are really good. But now it's back in your hands. ā
The people of the tribe tied up the captives and first peeled off the animal skins and examined them, which was what Wang Chuan requested. But after peeling it, whether it will be returned or not depends on the mood. Wang Chuan apologized again and again, and pretended to call the soldier who swallowed his boot over, and beat him on his crocodile vest with a tree branch. The soldier was also a fool, and he stood in a daze and let Wang Chuan whip him, and he couldn't pretend to be a fool. Wang Chuan naturally doesn't care about this kind of detail. Just get the meaning. At the end, Wang Chuan brought Liang Su a new pair of boots to put on him. As for the broken animal skin on his body that can't cover his body, he naturally didn't see it.
After such a gesture, Liang Su's face finally improved. Wang Chuan put forward the conditions: "We just want you to stay in our tribe and guide us for a spring and autumn season." During this time, you should ask the people of the Vulcan tribe not to enter our territory casually, so as not to accidentally injure you in the event of a conflict. What do you think? ā
Liang Su listened to this tongue-twisting words and thought about it before he realized that he wanted to lock himself up here without killing himself, so he said, "Since you want to lock me up here, why don't I let them come?" ā
Wang Chuan said: "This is simple. Do you have any tokens or belongings? We can send someone and tell them. If you're willing to draw something with characters they can understand, that's even better. ā
Mother knows such a thing as stick figure murals. Of course, Liang Su also understands. After sorting out the clues, Liang Su stiffened his neck and said: "You want to use me to blackmail the Vulcan tribe, and when you get enough of the population to destroy us, it is absolutely impossible." You can kill me, and you can't even think of me. ā
Wang Chuan was a little surprised by Liang Su's strong temperament. However, Wang Chuan was not in a hurry. Beckoning someone to call for a bangla, give him an iron axe, and let him chop wood in front of Liang Su.
Ranbula was so powerful that he chopped wood with his axe like he was chopping melons and vegetables. Liang Su's face changed after looking at it for a while: "Rong said that you have mastered the gold weapon, and we still don't believe it." Now it seems that the benefits of gold are indeed invincible in the world. The destruction of the Vulcan tribe is not far off. ā
After speaking, Liang Su actually stopped crying.
Wang Chuan asked Lam to leave, and waited for Liang Su to cry for a while before saying, "This is called ironware, you must have seen it when you came over." In my tribe, except for Bihu, there are not a few other warriors. If everyone had this kind of iron weapon and attacked the Vulcan tribe, what do you think your casualties would be? ā
Liang Su said: "There are heavy casualties. ā
Wang Chuan said: "We have a good weapon, but there are few people, and we may also suffer heavy casualties." That's what I don't want to see. I'm a pacifist and I don't want to see a fight happen. If it were possible, it would be best if there would never be a war between our two tribes. But now you are powerful, like tigers, and we are just rabbits now. It is impossible to live peacefully with you. It's just that now that we've got you in our hands, and we have such things as iron, I hope you don't push too hard. The so-called rabbit is anxious and bites, if you don't want to see us desperate and hurt too many of you, why don't you agree to this condition.
"In a few years, if we are lucky enough to grow to the same stage as you, wouldn't it be better if we were divided into regions and had nothing to do with each other?"
Liang Su was finally moved, drew with tears in his eyes, and wrote some characters that others didn't understand. Wang Chuan did not stop him when he was painting, and waited for him to finish painting. Only then did he use a dagger to cut down the strong man's trees, fence wooden houses, and other things. As for the characters, they didn't care about it, they were all blacked out.
Liang Su looked at Wang Chuan's approach and cried again: "The River tribe has a junior like you, and it has the benefit of iron weapons. It seems that the destruction of the Vulcan tribe is not far off. And they don't know it yet. I also promised you such conditions today, as long as I give you another three or five spring and autumn, how can there be a foraging place for the Vulcan tribe here? ā
Wang Chuan comforted him and said, "The River tribe is not what you think. He didn't expect to meet such an emotional person in this era. But I have a good impression of him. Then they pushed him into an abandoned cave and locked him up.
The sheep in the abandoned cave have long been cleared. Inside are the men who pretended to vote. After these people were locked in, they threw some wound medicine at random for them to treat their wounds, and every day they threw some leftover stems from the baby elephants, so they didn't care more. Their character is too inferior, and the injuries on their feet are not light, even if they survive, they are all crippled, and Wang Chuan doesn't even have the idea of letting them be normal slaves. If they were still alive after the beginning of spring, Wang Chuan decided to find a stone mountain and let them drive the stones. If the tribe wants to build a house, it is always good to get some stones for the foundation or burn lime.
The entrance to the cave was blocked by a large stone so that there was only a gap, and if the stone was fixed with a few wooden stakes on the outside, it would make a good cell. Not surprisingly, Liang Su will be in it for a few years.
After getting Liang Su's drawing, Wang Chuan asked people to find all the animal skins and clothes that were peeled off from Liang Su's body, and the next thing was to send people to the Vulcan tribe to negotiate. According to Wang Chuan's understanding of the Vulcan tribe. Each of their elders actually has some subordinates. Liang Su is sensual, and he should be a beloved elder. Coupled with the great reduction in the strength of the Vulcan tribe, there should also be a reason for a truce and recuperation. Therefore, it should not be difficult to move them.
For the River Tribe, it is not impossible to do their best now to bite the Vulcan Tribe again. It's just that the casualties are too great. The tribe is now so equipped to destroy a Howling Clan, and they have suffered so many casualties. If you want to shake the Vulcan tribe, I am afraid that the tribe will have to return to the state of thirty or forty people. In that case, the tribe will not be far from extinction. As long as the tribe is given another year or two, let Wang Chuan get agriculture up, and then exchange pottery and iron tools for some people, it is not difficult to surpass the Vulcan tribe in strength. When the time comes, it will not be certain who will make peace with whom in the Vulcan tribe.
