Yu Buzhi grabbed Dujie's sleeve and asked, "Has anyone in the Qinggu tribe died in battle?" ”

The festival is inexplicable: "There are more ......"

"These three days."

"No, Mr. Xu let us be a reserve team, and the battle sequence is behind." Dujie understands that Xu Shu is kind enough to take care of the Qinggu tribe, after all, it is a subsidiary force of the Zhulu Territory, and he came to the plateau in response to the call, of course, the territory will also pay a commission, but with the wealth of the Qinggu tribe, there is really no need to pour out of the nest for that commission, and the battle is more out of obligation and responsibility to the territory, so it is also appropriate to enjoy some preferential treatment.

Yu Buzhi reminded: "The tribe has added people just now. ”

Dujie's mind still didn't turn a corner, and said, "It's common for homeless people to appear near the tribal stronghold, right?" ”

Yu Buzhi sighed, no longer trying to discuss the reason with Dujie, he vaguely guessed a possibility, and wanted to confirm it with Dujie, since this guy's head is not open, he simply came to find the answer unilaterally. Well, that may have made me a little excited, forgetting that I don't need to cooperate with the festival, and I can see the answer directly.

Open the lord's manual, check the population of the Qinggu tribe, his pupils constricted, and said to Dujie: "Two thousand and one." ”

"What?"

"Tribal population, two thousand and one."

Dujie lost his voice and said, "What? ”

The second "what", the tone was completely different from the first one, Yu Buzhi did not speak, and nodded slightly.

Du Jie stood still, his dark face was full of shock and joy, followed by regret and reluctance, his lips trembled, his hands unconsciously tugged at the clothes on his body, and his steady big hands trembled slightly.

The tribal population cap has been broken?

The shackles that restrained the continued growth of the Qinggu tribe were quietly removed, and the tribe regained the right to develop, if it can be maintained, the Qinggu tribe may be able to grow into the most powerful tribe in thousands of years!

The question is, can it be maintained?

Du Jie is not a stupid person, the population of the Qinggu tribe has been stuck at the scale of two thousand for a long time, and there must be a reason for the sudden lifting of the ban on the population, and the tribe has recently been called a major change in the plateau enclave, and it is obviously not a coincidence that the displaced people were refreshed soon after receiving the plateau enclave. In other words, the acquisition of the plateau enclave was the trigger for the lifting of the ban on the population of the territory. If it is said that the alien neutral stronghold is the premise for the tribe to break through itself, it is completely reasonable to measure it by the difficulty of starting in the plateau enclave.

As a result, the Qinggu tribe could not afford to lose the highland enclave.

But......

What to do?

Dujie's mind was in chaos, and he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands in frustration, pulling his hair with both hands. He is the patriarch and is willing to do everything for the tribe, but in these days on the plateau, witnessing the anger of the Qiang people, Dujie understands that it is impossible for the Qinggu tribe to keep the enclave, even if he has the ability to pull in other tribes to help, he will not be able to hold the enclave under the crazy siege of the plateau Qiang, but will only increase the casualties, and in the end, the chickens and eggs will be beaten.

Ask for help from the territory?

Pull it down!

If it can be defended, Yu Buzhi will not be willing to suffer the price of reputational damage and abandon the enclave outright. It's not that the deer leader is not strong enough, the deer army is brave and good at fighting, and it may not be able to block the Qiang attack. Dujie knows how powerful the Zhulu Leader is, but in the same way, he also clearly knows how big the fish unwise stall is, the dragon collar, the flying fish collar, Beppu, and more flowers mean that the strength is scattered. No one knows how long the Qiang siege lasted, and if the Qiang territory fell into a protracted war, the attrition of the territory would be a nightmare, and even the logistics and supplies would be difficult to guarantee.

If the enclave can bring enough benefits to the territory, and with its own pleas, the territory may be willing to help.

But the enclave is not only now nothing, even if it is barely kept, it is bound to face the situation of encirclement by the Qiang people, which is purely a burden from the perspective of investment returns, and it is a bottomless pit in the long run. Even the situation that can be seen by the festival, the lord with a sharp eye like a torch and Xu Shu who is as resourceful as the sea will not be able to see it, otherwise they will not make the decision to give up the plateau enclave.

Without territorial support, keeping the enclave is a pipe dream.

Dujie was so entangled that he moaned in a low voice, knowing what he wanted to do, but he couldn't resist the desire in his heart. The opportunity for the tribe to become strong is in front of him, but he has no ability to grasp it, so he can only watch the opportunity slip through his hands, and the pain in Dujie's heart can be imagined.

Do you want to give it a try?

During the battle between heaven and man, he didn't notice that Yu Buzhi left quietly, and came back quietly, and there was one more Xu Shu by his side.

"Old."

Yu Unwise's voice pulled Dujie back to reality from endless conjecture, and looked up at each other blankly.

"Tell me about your decision." The fish is not wise and upright.

"Decided?"

"Enclave, do you want to keep it?"

Du Jie was excited, stood up suddenly, and said continuously: "I want to protect, I want to protect!" ”

"At any cost?"

"At any cost!" Dujie gritted his teeth and said, he knew what it meant to defend the enclave, many clansmen would die in battle on this land, including his daughter-in-law, but the upper limit of the population of the Qinggu tribe had arrived, and if he did not defend the enclave, the population of the territory would not grow, and he would always stand still. Thinking about it from another angle, the worst result is nothing more than heavy casualties among the tribes, and in the end, the bamboo basket will fight for water, but the foundation of Baihu Mountain is still there, and it is only a matter of time before it returns to its prime, so why not fight?

"Okay, I'll help you!" Fish are not wise.

Although Yu Buzhi was aware of it when he asked him, when he really heard this, Dujie was still moved to tears. The dream came true, and Du Jie quickly calmed down, because he knew how heavy this promise was, and how could he not consider the interests of the deer leader if he treated the Qinggu tribe like this? The Zhulu Army is an elite that has been trained with great difficulty, and several special troops have been facing a shortage of soldiers, and one less to die is two different things from the Qinggu tribe that can be automatically replenished. The flying army is already crippled, I don't know how long it will take to recover, if the most elite Bai Yu soldiers suffer heavy losses on the plateau, the blow to the deer army will be very heavy, and if Du Jie wants to keep the enclave, he doesn't think it's right to drag the territory into the abyss.

Dujie took a deep breath and asked, "My lord, why?" ”

"This is a godsend for the Qinggu tribe to grow, and if you can't keep the enclave, you can't go further."

"We can wait, wait for the next opportunity."

"Next chance?" Yu Buzhi laughed, but his smile was a little bitter, "It's not that easy, you don't know how difficult it is to occupy a stronghold on alien territory, strength alone is not enough, you have to be famous, and you need a mission opportunity like a national war...... Let's be honest, maybe this is your only chance. ”

Dujie was silent for a while.

Of course, he wanted the tribe to rise, and he didn't want to drag down the deer leader, and was willing to wait for the next opportunity, but when he learned that this was probably the only chance, the festival was inevitably shaken.

After thinking for a while, Dujie raised his head: "The price will be great, is it worth it?" ”

Yu Buzhi smiled: "As long as you develop, it will be worth it." ”

"Good!"
