Volume 3: The One Who Should Think Thinks Chapter 110: The Sleeve Bow
Collusion in this matter, there is still a conspiracy in such a big thing as the fish shell, in this, someone once went to exchange fish and salt with the fish village, and the fish shell took this opportunity to ask them to inquire about the strange big bird, this big bird is the mythical bird worshiped by the Yu people. And Baoyu and the others killed the big bird, and directly formed a great hatred with the people of the Yu people.
After several months, Da Mao came again, it was the patriarch Yu Da Shell and Yu Liang who received him alone, and several people didn't know what to say in private, and then Da Mao left with hatred. In the following years, Da Mao came to Youyu Village several times, when Yuliang had disappeared, and each time it was received by the fish big shell, the fish flying sky, and the fish five cubs, and they muttered in private and didn't know what to say. And the most recent one, just seven days ago.
Da Mao had only been to Youyu Village a few times in a few years, and each time he stayed for a short time, and he flew from the air without passing through the central valley, and the Aoyama Patriarch did not notice.
As for the other elders of Youyu Village, such as Yu Da Belly, although they did not participate in the collusion with the Yu Nation, when the elders of Youyu Village were meeting, they resolutely agreed with the various decisions of Yu Da Shell, and encouraged everyone to suppress and drive the tribes with military formations, only the two elders Yu Ye and Yu Ro Fei raised objections.
So the final result, except for the fish leaves and fish roe fat, the rest of the elders of Youyu Village were all killed in public. These two elders are also very happy, the Qingshan Patriarch is very reasonable, and he spared their lives.
As for why Da Mao led the Yu people to attack Lu Village? Although some of the crazy fish shells have not spoken, the five fish cubs have finally confessed. Thinking that there was a strange bird attacking Lu Village, the Qingshan patriarch didn't think to keep it secret, and later there were more and more exchanges with various tribes, and many Lu Village people also inadvertently mentioned this matter.
When Yu Da Shell heard the news, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the strange bird was the white feather Gu eagle that Da Mao was looking for. When Da Mao came back, Yu Da Shell told him that the divine bird worshiped by the Yu Nation had been killed by the Lu Clan. Da Mao was anxious on the spot, and wanted to go to Lu Village to settle accounts, but he was pulled by the big shell of the fish again.
The large shell of the fish discourages the large hair. At that time, there were no outsiders present except for Lu Village's own people, and many words were unclear, and if it was really a demon bird attacking the village, there was no reason. Besides, it has been a long time since the incident, and the strange bird that Lu Cun laid down has long been eaten, and there is no evidence left. If Da Mao wants to settle accounts with Lu Village, he should find another way.
The big shell of the fish seized this opportunity to constantly provoke. What's more, Da Mao also has his own ideas, so he was moved by the fish big shell.
Da Mao has cultivated in the four realms, and he can change his body as much as ordinary people, and his inner feelings are often very difficult, of course, he is not willing to stay in the mountains for life, only with those stupid and uncivilized Yu people, to be a small demon clan patriarch. He has a lot of feelings. I can't even communicate with my people.
And Yu Da Shell said the intention of unifying the barbarian tribes, and promised to give the Yu people, especially Da Mao himself, a very important position. If Yu Da Shell becomes the lord of the city, the Yu Nation can select strong warriors to serve as the warriors in charge of patrolling the city in the valley, and enjoy the courtesy and support of the tribe alliance, of course, the situation is very different from the previous deep mountain demon clan.
In addition to the better resettlement of the clansmen, the most important thing is that Da Mao himself will be the deputy leader of the entire tribe and the deputy city lord of Youyu City. In the future, Yu Da Shell can also introduce him to the adults in Pakistan, so that he can get out of the wilderness and show his ambitions in Pakistan. This is in Da Mao's mind. Not only has he been able to break away from the demon clan physically, but he has also been pursuing a higher realm of transcendence or the path of liberation mentally.
But the premise of achieving this goal is to suppress Lu Village and Huahai Village, and the best way is to exterminate these two clans to prevent future troubles. The original residence of the Yu people is too far away and too remote, and there are many green and huge trees in the mountains behind Lu Village, which is suitable for the Yu people to move out of the mountains and rebuild tree houses. The people of Lu Village and Huahai Village will raise chickens, and those chickens will also be owned by the Yu people in the future. They were also supported by the property of other tribes.
Da Mao then hit it off with Yu Da Shell and others and made such a vicious plan.
After inquiring about what happened and beheading the leader, for the remaining fish people, the Qingshan patriarch did not let them still live in the form of a village. Some moved to the Central Valley to work for the entire tribe, others stayed in the village of Youyu to fish for everyone, and some were assigned to the tribes. They cultivated fields and built agricultural tools for the ministry, and these skills were derived from the country. The other tribesmen now need to learn as well.
Of course, many people from various tribes have moved to the central valley, and some people have moved to the original Youyu Village, forming a mixed situation, so that they can be called the Shanshui clan. The village of Yuyu Village and most of the people are still there. But the "Fishy Clan" is now gone, and they are enslaved and scattered in the wilderness.
Before Lord Xiling left, he made a request to the Qingshan Patriarch, wanting to take away the hundred-man army formation of Youyu Village and let them go to Bayuan to defend the border for the monarch, which could be regarded as another punishment. This request is very clever, because even if the Yu clan is scattered, these hundred strong men with military training are still a hidden danger, since the Qingshan Patriarch does not kill them, it is better to send a favor to Xiling to take away.
Xiling took these 100 people back to the Xiangmuro Kingdom, it can be said that they were the servants of Shanshui City to the monarch, and he, the king, not only successfully completed the mission this time, but also made another contribution! This is a proposal to do both.
However, the Qingshan Patriarch refused: "Lord Envoy, I still have this hundred-person army formation useful. Trained, cooperative, and robust men, they were the best men to build the city, and they have remained in the Central Valley to build the castle from this day on. And the more than 50 soldiers in our Lu Village and Huahai Village who have been trained to open the mountain can take on the responsibility of patrolling. ”
It is indeed not easy to draw so much strong labor from the tribes, and to have been trained for a long time in an organized manner. This hundred-man army formation was left by the people of Yucun to build a city for slaves, and the Qingshan patriarch was not afraid of them making trouble. But the patriarch of Qingshan is also very good at handling things, and he sent another heavy gift, asking Lord Xiling to forward it to the monarch, that is, the fifty short bows and fifty barrels of feather arrows left by the Yu nation.
Bows and arrows are the most sophisticated weapons made by those craftsmen in Ba Yuan, and if they are used in military formations, it is best to have a standard standard. And the Feather People may be the first tribe to use standard weapons in this wilderness. The art of making bows and arrows was passed down from their ancestors, who, despite their low intelligence, had followed it for generations.
Traditionally, the Yu people have only used a kind of pear wood as a material to make bow spine and arrow shaft. The tree is light, hard, and extremely tough, growing only on cliffs that are almost impossible for ordinary people to climb, and the tree can only grow to the thickness of an arm for decades, making it difficult for other tribes to collect. The people of the Yu nationality choose the best pear wood, first make the embryo of the bow ridge, soak it in the oil squeezed from a nut in the deep mountains, then dry it in the shade, soak it again, and dry it in the shade...... It takes several years to make a finished product that is durable and not easily damaged.
Although their bows were short, their range was comparable to that of other tribal warriors, and they had a uniform system, so that even if two warriors exchanged bows and arrows temporarily, they could use them very skillfully. As for the arrow cluster, it is made of animal bones, which are not ordinary animal bones, sharp and hard as gold and iron, but the weight is very light. Over the course of a long period of time, the people of the Feather Nation have had time to build and accumulate such weapons.
Feather arrows are a kind of consumables and are often lost, but the feather people are different. They can fly, and they have an innate advantage in chasing their prey, and almost all the bows and arrows they shoot can be picked up, so the usual loss is very small, and they use excellent arrows. For a long time, the people of the Feather Nation had time to craft and accumulate such weapons.
Lord Xiling got this batch of bows and arrows, and he was also amazed, he was a person with insight and vision, and he knew the strategic value of this thing. The range of the bow depends on the strength of the bow ridge and string, and if you want to shoot the arrow farther, you often have to make the bow very long. The more powerful the bow, the heavier it is to carry along with its arrows, making it difficult to carry on the march, and even if the warrior is strong enough, it will take longer to shoot an arrow.
However, these bows and arrows were different, if the short bow was hidden under the robe, it would hardly be discovered, and the arrows were very short and light. It is carried by the people of the Yu people in the sky, of course, it is very light, and it is even more rare that it is a batch of standard weapons. If a group of powerful warriors are trained to wield this type of bow and arrow, they will not only be able to carry more weapons into battle, but they will also be powerful archers, and they can even shoot powerful arrows quickly and easily in melee combat.
Fifty such sets of bows and arrows are a great gift anywhere, and it is difficult to find elsewhere. If it were to be given to the king, and to illustrate its usefulness and benefits, it would be much more valuable than a hundred sturdy servants. Lord Xiling exclaimed: "Thank you, Patriarch Qingshan, your gifts are too valuable!"
Patriarch Qingshan said with a smile: "This is a greeting to the monarch, and it is also a thank you to Lord Xiling for successfully completing the mission this time. The wild people in the deep mountains don't have any good things, only some special products that are difficult to see elsewhere. ”
Lord Xiling praised again: "Such a light and small bow and arrow, but it has a range comparable to that of the strongest longbow. I can't help but sigh that the king really has a vision, and ordered me to come here to promote the alliance of various tribes, it seems that there are indeed many things that are difficult to find in Ba Yuan here, and there are more high-ranking people...... Elder Qingshan, I would like to ask one more question, can this kind of bow and arrow still be made in batches? I can ask the monarch to exchange what you want for more, and the conditions will definitely satisfy you!"
The patriarch of Qingshan smiled bitterly: "The population of that Yumin clan is not large, and now that all the men who can go out of the mountain to fight have been beheaded, I am afraid that this kind of bow and arrow will be extinct." Because they are the only ones in this area who make this thing. ”
Xiling asked with concern: "Could it be that the people who can make this kind of bow and arrow are gone? There should be people left in the Yu Clan, could it be that the Great Wall of the Qingshan Clan mainly sends an army formation to exterminate this clan? I don't think there is a need for this, you can refer to the Youyu Clan to deal with it!"
Patriarch Qingshan shook his head and explained, he didn't plan to send an army formation through the reckless mountains to exterminate the Yumin clan at all, unless his soldiers could fly, it was unlikely that he could do it. However, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are now left among the Yu people, who are trapped in the wilderness and cannot intermarry with foreign tribes. This demon clan will not be able to survive for a long time, and will only gradually disappear silently, just like many demon clans that have appeared and disappeared in the long historical years.
Lord Xiling asked again, "Is there no one in the rest of the tribes who can make this kind of bow and arrow?"
Patriarch Qingshan replied, "There are still a few tribes, and their hunting bows have their own characteristics, but for you, Lord Xiling, their value should be far inferior to the bow of the feathered people. This kind of bow and arrow, if the master is interested, can create a few more, but it is probably impossible to make them in batches for a long time, they are things that the Feather People have saved for many years. It is precisely because of its preciousness that I will let Lord Xiling bring it to the monarch of the country, if the rest of the property is too little to be respected, and too much for your retinue to carry. ”
Hearing this, Lord Xiling thanked the Qingshan patriarch again, and at the same time secretly scolded the big fish shell in his heart. If it weren't for the big fish shell colluding with the big hair, it wouldn't have ruined the Feather Folk clan, then it would be possible for this wild country to continue to supply this special standard weapon, which is much more important than other products.
However, the patriarch of Qingshan still set up an ambush, and the same bow and arrow, in fact, there are still seventy sets left in the Lu Village, which are also from the Yumin clan, which is enough for the soldiers of Shanshui City to use for their own use in the future. Although it is difficult to recreate new ones in large quantities, the most important thing in the bow is the bow ridge, and the string can be replaced with a suitable material.
And this ridge of the bow is extremely durable. If there are no accidents, it can be used for many years without damage. Even if there is a small amount of loss, with the skills of Patriarch Qingshan, Patriarch Huahai and others, they can also be repaired and supplemented. It's just that the use of this short bow requires a high level of strength and skill, and only those warriors who have refined the strength of the mountain can master it relatively easily, after all, the body structure of ordinary people and the feather people is different.
......
Just three days after the conflict in the Central Valley, all affairs were finally settled, and Lord Xiling led his entourage back to Ba Yuan to report to the monarch. The things they carried were not only the things of the Great Wall of the Qingshan Clan to present the monarch, the fifty sets of bows and arrows of great strategic value, but also the personal gifts given by the Lord of the Great Wall of the Qingshan Clan to Lord Xiling. Anyway, the big thing has been decided, and you need to be as polite as possible to this envoy. What's more, the Qingshan Patriarch has never been a stingy person.
Xiling, with more than a dozen entourage, took more than ten days to get out of the wild mountains and see people again. Needless to say, I had to spend the night in a dangerous wild forest every day, and I encountered several heavy rains on the way, and was almost swept away by flash floods. Fortunately, with the protection of a group of masters, Lord Xiling was embarrassed and in danger, and finally returned to Bayuan safely.
Xiling can also understand in his heart why Lord Yuegeng led the king's order to go deep into the wilderness a few years ago. After arriving at Yuyu Village, he refused to go any further. He is still walking so hard under the known road conditions, at the beginning, Lord Yuegeng did not know the situation of the wilderness, only felt that the dangerous road was endless, and finally reached the place where there were tribes. Listening to Yu Da Shell and others introduce the situation in the wilderness, of course he thought that he could complete the task, and he didn't want to continue to suffer that kind of hardship, and he didn't expect to be deceived by Youyu Village.
Out of the steep mountains. The edge of Ba Yuan is actually a highland and mountainous area, scattered with many tribal villages, and the interval between people is only one day. And there is a way to go. This area is known as the "Highland" in the Somuro Kingdom, and the first castle you encounter further down is Takajo, and the current lord of Takajo is Etsuko-sama.
Of course, Xiling wants to enter Gaocheng to rest, and Yue Geng has been waiting for news from him for a long time. Yue Geng also hopes that this envoy can successfully complete the task, if the barbarian tribes form an alliance and build a city to become a vassal of the Xiangmuro State, although Lord Xiling has merit, but the more important credit is his Yue Geng. If there was no introduction from Yue Geng and the operation of these years, how could today's great success be achieved?
If Yu Da Shell becomes the lord of the Fish Castle, it will be the weakest and most remote castle in the Xiangmuro Kingdom, and its status is equivalent to that of a vassal of the high city, becoming the sphere of influence of Lord Yuegeng. As long as Yue Geng speaks a word, the fish big shell who is attached to him to achieve this achievement will of course obey his words. The barbarian tribes are allied and attached, and the biggest benefit after opening the road is, of course, also belonging to his Gaocheng clan, and Yue Geng can gain both fame and fortune.
Hearing that Xiling had returned from the completion of the king's order, Yue Geng rushed to greet him and set up a banquet to congratulate him. But before the banquet, Xiling called him into the secret room alone and talked in private. The city lord of Yue Geng was stunned when he heard this, and his face was very ugly.
Xiling knew that some things had to be discussed in private, otherwise some things would be too embarrassing for the Yuegeng City Lord to say in public. I think that Yue Geng had only been in contact with the fish people back then, and he also got a lot of benefits from the fish tribe, and the help of the Xiangmuro country to the barbarian tribe over the years was handled by Lord Yue Geng, and all of them were given to the fish people.
Now Lord Xiling has indeed fulfilled the king's order, but it is not the credit of Lord Yuegeng, what Yuegeng did has become the biggest obstacle to the alliance of various tribes, almost causing irreparable civil strife and mutual slaughter, and even Xiling, the king's envoy, has not come back. Fortunately, the Qingshan Patriarch had extraordinary means and still managed to solve the situation.
Yue Geng has been supporting Yu Da Shell and Youyu Village, and now the barbarian tribes have formed an alliance and been sealed, but the city lord is the Qingshan patriarch he doesn't know and has never come into contact with, and Yu Da Shell is killed in public, and Youyu Village is also a slave. No matter how you look at this, it is equivalent to giving Lord Yuegeng a resounding slap in the face, if the monarch hears about it, what will he think of him?
Seeing Lord Yuegeng's face, Xiling also knew what the city lord was thinking, but what happened in the wilderness, he had to go into detail, so as not to misunderstand afterwards, and finally persuaded with a smile: "The city lord of Yuegeng doesn't have to be angry, I think you were deceived by the fish clan back then, and it is difficult for anyone to avoid this matter, and I almost can't get out of this trip."
There are some things you don't have to think too much about, all the king wants is the result. As long as the result is there, as for the process, it is easy to say. The people of the kingdom only know that the lord of Yue Gengcheng went to the wilderness a few years ago, and guided the tributary envoys of various tribes to meet the king, and then they did not know who and who were in the deep mountains. ”
After saying this, Xiling took out another rhino ditch beast horn and said, "I heard that you wanted to find this thing when you went deep into the wilderness a few years ago, but the fish clan did not hunt the rhino beast. This rhino canal horn was hunted by Lu Village, and the Lord of the Great Wall of the Qingshan Clan entrusted me to give it to you, the Lord of Yuegeng City, as a greeting, and regret that I could not see you back then. ”
Yue Geng's face softened at this time, he also felt that Xiling's words were very reasonable, and seeing that the Qingshan Patriarch who had never met took the initiative to send such a precious gift, it seemed that he was very goodwilled, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "Thank you Lord Xiling for your relief, and congratulations on your ability to complete your destiny! This city lord is really ashamed, what he did back then almost affected you." Fortunately, this matter finally went well, and I have to thank Lord Xiling and make amends to you!"
Lord Xiling hurriedly said: "The Lord of Yuegeng City doesn't have to be like this, you and I have all worked hard to fulfill the king's life." Now that it is done, you and I have all the credit, and I will report it clearly to the king. ”
Yue Geng held the horn of the rhino canal beast and said: "On the banquet later, I will punish myself with a few more cups, and I will also pay tribute to Lord Xiling a few more cups! As for this rhino canal beast horn, I didn't dare to accept it, but this thing is going to be given to Chiwangqiu, and I thank Lord Xiling and the Great Wall Lord of the Qingshan Clan for their kindness, he is very knowledgeable!"
Seeing this rhino canal horn, Yue Geng's mind came alive again, and he thought of a lot in a flash. No matter who is the master of the alliance in that wilderness, any relationship between him and Ba Yuan in the future will not be able to bypass the high city where he is located. Presumably, the Great Wall Lord of the Qingshan Clan destroyed the Youyu Clan, and he was also very worried at the moment, if he wanted to gain his favor, he had to do more and behave more respectfully than the Youyu Village back then.
Lord Xiling couldn't see Yue Geng's thoughts, but unfortunately the rhino canal horn was not given to Yue Geng by the Qingshan Patriarch, but a gift to Xiling. Xiling didn't want the newly sealed Shanshui City to be at odds with the high city outside the wilderness, so he took it upon himself to give it to Yue Geng in the name of the Qingshan Patriarch to ease the tension between the two sides that might be caused by the past, but Xiling himself was not greedy.
But looking at Yue Geng's reaction, although he heard about the thrilling twists and turns that happened in the wilderness, he didn't take the Qingshan patriarch in his eyes, as if he was still planning to treat the big fish shell, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to stammer and send benefits. Lord Xiling only sighed secretly, he had a personal horror experience, in comparison, this Yuegeng City Lord's methods and personality were far from catching up with the Qingshan Patriarch, if he really fought, I am afraid he would not be the opponent of the Qingshan Patriarch.
In fact, Yue Geng can have today's status, and it is by no means mediocre, thinking that the fish big shell sent fish and swim people to give gifts, he turned his brain, and changed those people into messengers of the barbarian tribes to pay tribute to the monarch, so he made great contributions and won the reputation in the Xiangmuro country.
But for the battle between the barbarians internally, he doesn't care much and doesn't know much about it, he probably only cares about his own interests. But with such a mentality, it's easy to sit in the well and watch the sky, and I may not be able to take advantage of it if I'm really funny. It's just that these words, Xilin, as Shi Cheng, are inconvenient to discuss, and it's not easy to say.
