Chapter 62: Hesitation
"Over the years, we have also forbearance in every way, but we can endure it, but future generations cannot! If we blindly seek perfection, it won't take long to think about it, our Jiuli and Kuafu clan will turn into the territory of Shennong, and when the time comes, where can we be so free! If we can't say it, it will become their subordination, and the hard-earned income can only be used as an annual tribute, even if we can endure it, but the territory handed down by our ancestors is so handed over to others, and he will meet in Huangquan one day, but how to confess to his ancestors!" Chen Yi saw that Father Kua was already furious, and knew that the opportunity could not be lost, so he continued to say: "Besides, even if we can't take care of these, can we bear to let our children and grandchildren live this kind of enslaved life?!"
A few words had already ignited the fire in Kuafu's heart, and the resentment and anger that had been suppressed for a long time were like a volcano erupting, out of control.
"You're right! Is it tolerable or unbearable!" Speaking of this, Kuafu's face had turned iron-blue, and his sharp eyes looked around to the left and right, and he asked his clansmen: "What does General Chiyou mean, do you have any opinions?"
Seeing Kuafu's inquiry, the people who were originally talking about it quieted down, their brows were tightened, and after a long silence, they exchanged glances with each other, and finally an old man got up and said: "We also know that this matter is very important, but now Shennong is powerful, not to mention Xuanyuan is involved, if the two tribes form an alliance, then our move is undoubtedly a mantis arm, when the time comes, not to mention that it is a subsidiary, I am afraid that the territory is not guaranteed!"
For thousands of years, no matter what the chaos in the outside world becomes, the Kuafu clan is like a self-contained style, and has not experienced those storms, and the tribesmen have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and they rashly join the war, and it is not possible to decide in a few words to break this peace. So, for a while, Rao is father also kept bowing his head, and he thought that he was hesitant in his heart, but he was silent.
"The general only saw the strength of these two tribes, but he underestimated himself!" Li Lu saw that the old man had resolved the fighting intent of all the generals in the hall with a few words, and his brows furrowed slightly, knowing that if he couldn't reverse it in time, this alliance would no longer have the possibility of success, so he immediately said: " Our Jiuli has grown stronger and stronger, no matter how Shennong has attacked over the years, every time he has been counterattacked back, this time he almost captured Shennong's prince Yu Gang, if it weren't for the treacherous villain who used hostages to force him, our general was kind-hearted and put it back, and now he is already our prisoner, where is there still today's momentum! Moreover, Shennong's Xingtian has been captured by General Jumang, and now he is in our camp, and now, Shennong only has Zhu Rong and Houtu who can still withstand the battle, and the rest of the people are just some mediocre people, where can they be the general's vision!" Speaking of Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan and Shennong have frequent disputes, if it weren't for the two tribes rushing to expand their territory and avoid each other's edges over the years, it would have been a decisive battle. Even if they form an alliance this time, they have their own plans, and it is impossible to fight with us with all their might, after all, if the consumption is too great, when the two armies face each other, they will have no chance of victory, therefore, I expect that the alliance between the two tribes will inevitably be constrained frequently, and it is impossible to fight with all their might, so if our two tribes can form an alliance, this time the odds are already in hand!"
"What General Li Lu said is extremely true, if Shennong and Xuanyuan really keep their hands, then they will not be able to exert their strengths, and when the time comes, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of, as long as our two tribes are in the same boat, we can let them go and have no return!"
"Besides, the Kuafu clan is the most heroic tribe in the world, and the clansmen are all profound in spiritual power and strong in magic, if the generals are all cowardly, then there is no one in the world who competes with Shennong and Xuanyuan!" Li Lu saw the opportunity and continued to lobby.
The more he listened, the more he was pleased, who in the world did not want to hear the praise of others, let alone the generals of another tribe, naturally became more and more proud, and just wanted to speak, but heard the elders around him suddenly speak: "Although General Li Lu's analysis is the Tao, the old man wants to ask, how sure is the general winning?"
The originally high emotions were like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, although Li Lu's face was calm and he couldn't see any fluctuations, however, the eyes that probed from all directions, even he couldn't cope with it for a while, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
How can we tell if we have the help of the Kuafu clan, the chances of winning will naturally increase, but even if it is improved, it is only a fifty percent certainty, but how can we persuade the whole village to be convinced that this is only fifty percent grasped?
"The general can't tell, right?!" The elder sighed, gently stroked his gray beard, and said lightly: "The old man is not ignorant of the current situation, nor is he the kind of ignorant person who keeps his own door closed, but although the general has listed many possibilities, those possibilities are only possibilities!"
The elder slowly got up, walked to the middle of the main hall, looked at everyone present, and said slowly: "The general can imagine that the Kuafu clan will follow in the footsteps of Jiuli, and the old man will also imagine that the Kuafu clan will be independent and alone! These are just one possibility, aren't they? Since it is only one possibility, how can the general persuade tens of thousands of people of the Kuafu clan to die happily?"
The hall was quiet, but it boiled again in an instant, yes, who can say that this kind of possibility does not exist?! Who is willing to put aside the comfortable life now, but easily bring the whole family to an unstable war?! Because the patriarch Kuafu has always been the pillar of the main battle faction, although there are many generals in the palace, but when they did not interfere in the issue of principle, everyone chose to defend the dignity of Kuafu with all their hearts, and hid some words in private, and at this moment, when the war was really in front of their eyes, the elder's words picked out all the things that they did not dare to put on the table. For a time, all kinds of opinions could no longer be suppressed, and in an instant, they emerged one after another, and the main battle faction and the main peace faction had different opinions, each holding its own opinion, but it was a stalemate.
Chen Yi looked at Kuafu helplessly, at this moment he was frowning, powerlessly watching the generals in the hall arguing, originally thought that Kuafu's management of Kuafu's clan for many years must be a good word, but he didn't expect that his temperament would be so indecisive, and he sighed in his heart, in fact, it is not incomprehensible, who is anyone, how dare he easily bring a tribe into the flames of war?! Seeing that there is no way to go on like this, the long-term controversy will create an atmosphere of instability, which cannot be said to be led by people with intentions, and when the time comes, they will be passive. Thinking of this, his heart no longer hesitated, his fingers lightly tapped the table, the sound was not loud, but it was very penetrating, and vaguely, everyone's voices became lower and lower, smaller and smaller, and it was quiet.
"This time I came suddenly, but I didn't expect to bring such a big trouble to the nobles, the original clan discussions, there is no room for outsiders like us to put their beaks, but, since we are here today, there are a few heartfelt words that are not unhappy. Chen Yi looked around at everyone, his hand arched slightly, and said loudly: "Although you all know that war will bring bloodshed and sacrifice, will destroy the original peace, and even lead to collapse, but how can it not be a kind of maintenance and reconstruction of order?!" Chen Yi's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and said lightly: "The soldiers who surrender without a fight are naturally the most perfect state, but how can we control the current situation with wishful thinking?" If it weren't for the fact that the current general trend had reached the point where war was indispensable, how could we Jiuli be lightly involved in the quagmire of war and difficult to get out of?! It's just that if we don't fight, do we have to blindly accommodate, compromise, and retreat?! Or let this humiliation repeat itself again and again on us and on our children and grandchildren?!" Saying this, Chen Yi's volume increased slightly, and for a while, everyone was taken by his momentum, and their faces showed a look of thought, seeing this scene, Chen Yi's eyes shone slightly, and continued: " It is impossible to say, and it is only possible to protect the long-term interests of one's tribe to the greatest extent at the lowest cost. ”
A few words, but like a guiding light to wake up everyone, I have to say, these words to the point, although the Kua father clan has been very calm relative to the outside world, but after all, this Kua father clan has relied on themselves to be a giant clan, uninhibited, and likes to fight for others, at this time, seeing that the leader of Jiuli is in person, and he has insight into the world, how can he not let them introspect, and besides, the situation is unpredictable, if they blindly forbear, they can't say that those tribes that were annexed one by one are their own lessons from the past!
"What General Chiyou said is extremely true!" Seeing that everyone in the hall was flickering with their eyes and bowing their heads silently, Kua's father naturally knew that Chen Yi's lobbying had had had had an effect, and even the generals of the Lord and faction who had reacted more fiercely just now were silent, and finally made up their minds in their hearts.
"General!" However, before Kuafu could speak, he saw an old voice suddenly come from his side.
Kuafu followed the prestige, but saw that the person who opened the mouth was his second uncle, at this time, it was the time to matter, if it was someone else, it would be enough, after just hearing Chi You's heartfelt words, Kuafu had already made up his mind, and would never be swayed by others again, but this second uncle Kwari is the most respected elder in the clan, and has always had a very important voice, even if there is a decision in the clan on weekdays, he must take into account his meaning, and his mind moved at the moment, his eyes flickered slightly, however, looking at the face full of wrinkles, The sharp eyes on the old face finally swallowed back the words on his mouth......
