On the way back, Jian Chen asked people to count the severed heads, and washed the blood stains on them in the cold spring when they came, revealing the scalded slave marks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"These things can be given to Su Yue."

"Do skulls work? Dead people and individual heads do not cultivate land. ”

"But it can terrify those who are not dead. What Awatake wanted was not the life of a runaway slave in Onozawa, but the fear of a slave who had not escaped in Awa City. The former is the means, the latter is the end. ”

"But the leader of Awadake will one day find out about our exchange with the fugitives in Onozawa."

So I helped him drive the surrounding villages away, and the hatred between him and the runaways stemmed from the unescaped slaves in Awashi, not the fugitives themselves. So send these heads, move those villages, and even if he knows, he won't blame us. Besides, he has a request for us. ”

"Ask us for what? Gunpowder? Copper smelting? Farming? Numbers? ”

"More than that. These things Sucheng wants, and the rest of the cities also want, and we can connect Sucheng with those cities that are far away from Sucheng, it is not easy for him to be this leader, and he needs our support. ”

A few people smiled unnaturally, and said in their hearts that our Xia Cheng said not long ago that he was a relative of other people's families, could it be that it is so important now?

Chen Jian didn't say much, and said in his heart that although Su Yue was smart and brave, his heart was still too anxious, he had no common enemies and interests, and he didn't have enough strength, so he couldn't be a real leader, and at best, he was only a nominal leader. But even this titular leader needs to borrow all possible power to achieve it.

The reason why he went to Onozawa with confidence was that after experiencing the events of that day, he decided that this meeting would not be able to negotiate a result that everyone could accept within ten days -- that times had changed.

However, this time he miscalculated, and before he returned to Sucheng, there were several people along the Grass River waiting on those snow marks, and when he saw Chen Jian, he rushed over and said, "Ji Xia, you are back." ”

Jian Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be that everyone has negotiated and agreed to the oath?" Just wait for us to come back and swear an oath? ”

"It's not...... The leader of Wei He'e Yue is waiting in the city, and he will talk about it when he goes back. ”

Hurriedly returned to Sucheng, and felt that the atmosphere in the city was a little wrong, it seemed to be much more deserted than when he left, and many people seemed to want to greet Chen Jian, but Chen Jian pretended not to pay attention on the horse and hurried back to his residence.

In the room, E Yue Weihe and the others were already waiting anxiously.

"Ji Xia, you can be regarded as back. Our Caohe City has sworn to advance and retreat together, and now we are asking everyone to come up with an idea. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"After you left, we discussed it for a few days, and everyone disagreed with the oath, and it was a mess. It is nothing more than the hope that the various clans will send people to dredge the river, and those who are far away from the river bank do not want to send people; Those who are close to the barbarians want everyone to send troops, but those who are far away do not want their own people to die hundreds of miles away. Discussing these things at the beginning, there is no result. ”

"On the seventh day, a leader of a city near Sucheng suddenly fell ill and died at night, the leader's city was not large, and it was very close to Sucheng, and it was close to Dongyi, so he supported Suyue to become the leader of the clan alliance the most."

"He died of illness and several witch doctors also went to see it, it should be a sudden illness, and his age is not too young to be considered normal, that day everyone stopped discussing the funeral, and the leader of Suyue was just grieving."

But the next day, the leader of Suyue suddenly changed, claiming that the leader died of illness strangely, and his soul did not scatter in a dream to tell him that his death was not normal, and there must be someone who did not want the alliance to succeed, this statement is extremely serious. Immediately, some of the chieftains in the north accused the leader of Suyue of talking nonsense, and the chief of Suyue took many clans who supported him to worship his ancestors, claiming that it was necessary to find out why the leader died. ”

"This matter was not difficult to control, but the leader of Suyue claimed that this was an act of betrayal of his relatives, and hoped that all the relatives would swear an oath that in the future, if they found out which clan had assassinated the leader, they would raise troops to fight against him."

Since these words were uttered, the possibility of everyone discussing together was completely cut off, and many clans in the north refused to take the oath, and the chiefs accused them of being weak-hearted, and the leaders asked the chieftain of Isogaku who was to decide which tribe's fault it was? If it is up to Sucheng to decide, can a city that does not agree with Sudake become the leader of the city can be accused of being a murderer? They thought that the leader had just died of a normal illness, so they would not take part in such an oath. ”

Speaking of this, Jian Chen was completely stupid, and he didn't understand what the situation was at all.

From the beginning of the winter hunt to the gathering of various clans, all of this was led by Su Yue, because he was the most hopeful to be elected as the leader, and he also hoped that the alliance would succeed.

Chen Jian even felt that Su Yue wanted to have a good time because he was old, even if he couldn't be a real leader because of his strength, he had to be a nominal leader, everyone pursued different things, Su Yue's strength and reputation were different from Hua a few decades ago, and being able to be a nominal leader was also a success.

As for the death of the leader, Jian Chen felt that it was normal. In the big winter, many leaders are not young, and the cold weather is a sacrifice and a sacrifice and a thing or that, and there is nothing abnormal about dying of a sudden illness.

Besides, even if it is an abnormal death, the last thing that wants this matter to ferment is said to be Su Yue, who performed normally on the first day, and suppressed this matter as much as possible so as not to affect his purpose.

But the performance of the next day completely made Chen Jian unable to guess, things like soul dreams, others may believe it, but Chen Jian will never believe it. And to use such harsh words as betrayal of relatives to describe this matter that could have been suppressed, it is clear that he wants the alliance to fail?

At least those leaders who have opposed Suyue before will never let this basin have the possibility of being buckled on their heads, and the big deal will not be an alliance, that is, in the future, they will really accuse a powerful city of being a murderer, and those nearby weak and dependent cities will not be able to abide by the oath to attack the most powerful city around them, and then there will be an excuse to be attacked by Sucheng, and it is not easy to explain to those clansmen who believe in the oath.

Since this is the case, it is better not to ally and go back, this is definitely not the result that Su Yue wants.

Jian Chen shook his head and thought about it for a long time, completely unable to guess. But what happened in one day and one night? Can Su Yue suddenly change his mind? (To be continued.) )
