Hearing what Yan Xuelan said, Yang Tongue was not only not angry, but very happy.

This means that Yan Xuelan has a preliminary trust in them, otherwise she would not use it as a temporary place of residence in her own station.

As for the problem of eating and drinking, there is no need to worry, the people of the Central Plains, especially this kind of big man, do not like to eat white food, because this will break their face, you are willing to pay for them, and you will be rewarded at that time.

Now it seems that the Sheep Tongue Clan will spend quite a lot of food, and even the food that they have accumulated over the years of being the patriarch may consume most or even all of it.

But these expenses can gain the trust of the big people for themselves and the tribe, and when the time comes to move the Central Plains, there will definitely be many benefits.

Especially listening to the meaning of this big man, she also wants to attack the surrounding tribes, and when the time comes, their food can be used to feed these big people in the Central Plains, and her own tribe's consumption will not be particularly large.

After the dinner. The sheep tongue was very enthusiastic to invite Chen Zheng over, and he didn't put on his own Tongmai Realm martial artist at all, but was very enthusiastic, which made Chen Zheng a little unaccustomed, he really couldn't do such a thing, of course, for Yan Xuelan was an exception, it must have been done desperately.

What Chen Zheng was holding in his hand was a map copied from the Iron Cavalry, with many traces of modification on it, after all, the land would not move or change, but the animals and plants on the land were alive and not immutable.

This is especially true in this high-martial world.

Maybe today this is a fertile pasture, and then two strong men come here to fight, and the good pasture becomes a white land, which is very possible.

Therefore, under the explanation of the sheep's tongue, Chen Zheng began to revise and modify the map to make additions, accurately identifying the tribes, grasslands, water sources and so on that appeared in the state.

Especially in terms of the details of these tribes, Chen Zheng asked in great detail, including the number of tribes, combat power, equipment, cultivation, etc., and what the itinerary was, which were all information that the army must know in the next battle.

Chen Zheng didn't dare to be careless, he had to record it in detail, this was not only about Yan Xuelan's harvest, but also related to his own reward, and at the same time, he could also tell what his reward would be based on these surrounding circumstances.

There are six small tribes of the same size around the Sheeptongue Tribe, and the number of people is about the same as that of the Sheeptongue Tribe, and even the combat power that can fight is worse than that of the Sheeptongue Tribe, and the Sheeptongue Tribe, including slaves, can appear 5,000 people.

The remaining six small tribes only have about 3,000 to 4,000 combat strength when they are fully counted.

Unexpectedly, among the surrounding small tribes, the sheep tongue clan was still relatively strong.

These tribes that are not very strong in combat effectiveness can almost convince them to move inward to become laborers, and now as long as there is enough food in this world, no one will dislike the few people under their hands, of course, the more people, the better.

The sheep tongue sheath also pointed out to Chen Zheng that the second largest small tribe around, the Fan clan. He and the patriarch of the Fan clan have been friends for many years, and the two clans can be regarded as a marriage alliance.

It was because the two clans helped each other to survive in this area, and the two clans could also unite against one of the three medium-sized clans above, avoiding their fate.

The sheep tongue shackles to Chen Zheng to guarantee the vote, he can persuade the Fan clan to join in, the two can join together to persuade several other small tribes, they are all small tribes begging for a living on the grassland, the upper part will also receive the influence of large tribes and medium-sized tribes, and the following will also solve the problem of eating the people of the tribe, it can be said that one by one is a bitter life, sometimes you need to ask for relief from the sheep tongue clan and the Fan clan, when the situation is not good, some of the old people in the tribe will take the initiative to leave, In order to save food, it is left for the young people of the tribe, especially the children.

As for why these small tribes are living so poorly, of course, it is because they have few people, poor management, and insufficient productivity, and in good times there is enough food, but once the harvest is bad, it is very likely that they can barely maintain the balance, or even lack of food.

These are all secondary reasons, the most subjective of which is that many of their harvests need to be handed over to large and medium-sized tribes.

Don't think that there is no such concept of paying taxes on the steppe, it's just that the name is different, but the essence is the same, and it is heavier.

To give the simplest example, now count the seven small tribes on a grassland near the sheeptongue tribe, they are the lowest level of existence, although it is a nomadic life, but each tribe has a corresponding range of activities, this is not a clear regulation, it is completely fought by fists, so if the small tribes want to survive in a place on the grassland steadily, the first thing to do is to pay protection fees to the bosses of the upper layer in their area.

It can be gold, silver, jewelry, cattle and sheep rations, in short, it must be something of value, take a group of broken copper and iron out to fool people, that is, you will die, and people will destroy you as soon as possible.

Although these protection fees are worth a lot, they do do some things when they collect protection fees, such as once there is an opponent near the Sheep Tongue Clan that is difficult for them to resist, such as a powerful beast or a warrior from other places, or an attack by people from foreign tribes, when the Sheep Tongue Clan has no strength to resist, they can first go to the three medium-sized tribes above for help, and if they still can't resist, they can go to the large tribe for help.

Therefore, the annual protection fee needs to be paid in four parts.

Every year, the sheep tongue tribe needs to hand over 30% of the income of the large tribes, and the 3 medium-sized tribes need to hand over 1/2 percent, and their own tribes can stay 20%.

And that's not even counting the time of the year when these people come down to fight the autumn breeze.

At that time, I will have to prepare another one.

Under such conditions, it can be said that it is not easy for the sheep tongue sheath to feed its own tribe and support other small tribes.

This means that those medium-sized and even large tribes are rich in oil.

Although the medium-sized tribes also need to pay the corresponding fees to the large tribes above, they can collect from the various small tribes below, such as the three above the sheeptongue tribe, and can receive one and a half of the harvest of the seven small tribes every year.

It's more than enough to give it to the large tribes above.

Coupled with their own output, they will become stronger and stronger without worrying about eating and drinking.

And even more so with large clans. They receive the protection money from the small and medium-sized tribes below, and then hand it over to the gold tribe at their head, and when their rations are insufficient, they will levy it from below, and the small and medium-sized tribes below may not be able to fight even if they are united.

If you want to be called large-scale, you must have multiple innate realm warriors, and at the same time, you must have at least one 10,000 horses, and this 10,000 horses is not a mixed team of tribal warriors and slaves of the sheep tongue tribe, but the kind of troops that are completely separated from production and are specifically responsible for fighting, real tribal warriors, not the kind of herdsmen who usually go to the battlefield fully armed when there is a battle.

10,000 professional warriors who are specifically responsible for combat, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

Especially in this grassland, the Yan clan, the only large tribe, has two thousand horsemen, and its strength is very strong, and it is firmly pressed against the three medium-sized tribes below.

In addition, the Yan clan and the Yelu clan in the gold tribe still have some kinship and affection.

One of their direct clansmen has become the concubine of a powerful figure in the Yelu clan, and she is quite popular, so the Yan clan is so strong, and the tribes below do not dare to resist at all, for fear that people will borrow strength from the Yelu clan.

So this is the important reason why the Yan clan is chic on this grassland.

Chen Zheng marked this Yan clan with a key touch, this clan should be their main opponent this time, and they should focus on it.

As for the three medium-sized tribes, they have nothing special, the total number of troops dedicated to fighting is less than fifteen, counting the slaves is only fifty or sixty thousand, this premise is that the three of them are combined together to send troops, if they are scattered, each family will only have five thousand soldiers dedicated to fighting, and there can be one or two thousand slaves.

Divide their forces to attack, they are not Luan Fengwei's opponents at all.

After leaving the tent of the sheep's tongue, Chen Zheng came to Yan Xuelan's tent to report the situation as soon as possible.

At the same time, the information that I sorted out is very clear.

At the same time, he also told Yan Xuelan what the sheep tongue did and said.

"Oh, that's exactly what the sheep tongue said, he is confident that he will be able to convince the six clans, including the Fan clan," Yan Xuelan asked as she checked Chen Zheng's records.

"That's what he said, but Your Highness, we can't be unguarded, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, but after joining forces, it is still a big trouble for us to be cautious, verbal guarantees are meaningless, we must give practical actions to gain our initial trust, subordinates have secretly sent people to keep an eye on these people, and I will also send people to watch their every move when they go to persuade them." Chen Zheng replied meticulously and entered the working state.

"Very good, you think very comprehensively, it seems that the Prosecutor's Department is doing more and more smoothly in this regard, and the arrangements are quite thorough." A trace of appreciation flashed in Yan Xuelan's eyes, Chen Zheng has continued to make progress in continuous study and exercise during this time, although it is not obvious, but it is much better than the original state of only being able to obey orders, and finally has a little subjective initiative, but Yan Xuelan also feels that the sense of distance between Chen Zheng and herself is also more obvious, not that she has a bad attitude towards Chen Zheng, but that Chen Zheng is taking the initiative to open up the relationship with herself, artificially creating a barrier, This is being made to show whom, even if it is done steadily, it will not be to the extent it is now, but there are some words that are not suitable for saying at this time.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment." Chen Zheng replied calmly.

Then Yan Xuelan ordered Chen Zheng a few things, all of which the people in the Prosecutor's Department needed to do in the next few days.

The first is the matter of the six small tribes, their combat effectiveness is really not good, but the population is quite large, they can be used as a labor force, their strength is not strong, they can be mastered by the army, and there are no too powerful warriors.

However, the process of co-opting may not be so smooth, so this requires Chen Zheng to send people from the Prosecutor's Department to secretly stare at it to see if the sheep tongue and others are cheating and slippery, and once the co-optation is hindered, they can go up directly to deter by force, and if they don't listen to good words, they can only meet each other with swords.

Whatever the final outcome, it is necessary to ensure that these small tribes are their harvest, whether this harvest is co-opted or suppressed.

Second, the main force of the master of the Prosecutor's Department must cooperate with the army to carry out the operation, and the first target to be solved is the three medium-sized tribes, Yan Xuelan wants to solve these three tribes in the shortest possible time, eat as much as they can, swallow these people when the Yan clan has not completely discovered it, and then concentrate on concentrating on dealing with the Yan clan.

If you want to deal with your opponents in the shortest possible time, you need a thunderous offensive to contain the enemy before they have time to react, and these people will naturally be easy to deal with. x

If you want to achieve this level, first of all, you must kill the leaders of the three medium-sized tribes accurately, without the core of the corresponding leadership, the soldiers below have no backbone, and they will definitely be chaotic, and it can be decided in a battle.

At the same time, it is necessary to conduct ambushes at night.

Although many people know to be prepared for night attacks, not everyone can do it well. x
