Chapter 33: Choosing a Patriarch
……
Aya thought for a while, shook her head and said: "How easy is it, not only the Black Mountain Clan is eyeing us, but the Spirit Stone Clan is not a good thing, the city lord of Xia Yuan City is even more cruel to us, now that my father is dead, and my brother is injured like this, if they come to attack us again, the Fire Dance Clan will be cut off in my hands...... To conquer the Black Mountain Clan, how can that ......"
"Isn't there anyone to take care of you?" Liu Zhibang couldn't help asking.
Aya listened and said hatefully: "Yes, there is, the thousands of miles of Wumang Mountain belong to Xia Yuan Chengguan, but they only collect taxes, but the fight between the various ethnic groups is ignored...... Last time, there was a big war with the Black Mountain Clan, Daddy took me to Xia Yuan City to ask the city lord to mediate, and after the Xia Yuan city lord saw me, he actually ...... actually refused to send troops on the condition that I be his little wife, but Daddy did not agree, and as a result, the city lord of Xia Yuan not only did not send troops, but also increased our taxes. ”
"Won't you resist?" The more Liu Zhibang listened, the more angry he became.
Aya said sadly: "We only have this clan, what can we do to fight against the powerful Xia Yuan City!" Not only our Fire Dance Clan, but also every tribe in Wumang Mountain was oppressed by Xia Yuancheng, Xia Yuancheng had many generals, and the end of the rebellion was to exterminate the clan, and all the living people were brought back to Xia Yuancheng as slaves. Of the dozen or so tribes in Wumang Mountain, only the Black Mountain tribe is better......"
"Why are the Montenegrins an exception?" Liu Zhibang couldn't help but think of the powerful Black Mountain clan.
Aya said with a look of disgust: "Because...... Because the patriarch of the Montenegrin clan has a beautiful daughter, married Li Jun and became the wife of the seventeenth aunt......"
Liu Zhibang remembered what Amu told him at the martial arts competition, and said, "I see...... It seems that there is only one way to unite the other tribes......"
"What do you mean?" When Aya heard Liu Zhibang say this, she couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Liu Zhibang said seriously: "You tell me about the situation of these nearby tribes, and I will find a way." ”
Aya thought for a while and said, "Wumang Mountain is very big, there are the Black Mountain Clan, the Lingshi Clan, the Misty Wind Clan, the Brown Clan, the Luohe Clan, the Poison Flower Clan, the Lidan Clan, the Wood Dragon Clan, and the White Tiger Clan...... Let's not talk about the farther, the ones closest to our Fire Dance Clan are the Black Mountain Clan, the Lingshi Clan, the Wood Dragon Clan and the Luohe Clan, my mother is from the Wood Dragon Clan, and the Luohe Clan and our Fire Dance Clan are also very good. ”
"How many people are there in the Wood Dragon Clan and the Luohe Clan, and compared to the Fire Dance Clan, are their economic indices better or worse?" Liu Zhibang then asked.
Aya blinked her eyes wide and asked, "What is an economic index?" ”
"Oh...... That one...... The economic index means that they are a little richer than the Fire Dancer or a little poorer than the Fire Dancer, and the most important index is the number of people. Liu Zhibang smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to explain patiently.
Aya thought for a while and said, "Except for the Black Mountain Clan, it turns out that our Fire Dance Clan is better, the population of the Wood Dragon Clan is a little more than our Fire Dance Clan, and the Luohe Clan is a little less than us, but now the worst is our Fire Dance Clan." ”
"If we ask the Wood Dragon Clan and the Luohe Clan to send troops to fight against the Black Mountain Clan, do you think they will help us?" Liu Zhibang asked tentatively.
Aya said while thinking about it: "The Wooden Dragon Clan should be able to send troops, after all, my maternal grandfather was the old patriarch in the past, and the current patriarch is my eldest uncle, so the Luohe Clan should be fine......
Liu Zhibang also frowned deeply when he heard this, thought about it, and then asked, "How many people are in the Black Mountain Clan?" ”
"I don't know the exact number of people, but it's probably twice as many as before our Fire Dance Clan." Listening to Liu Zhibang's detailed question, Aya's hope in her heart became bigger and bigger.
Liu Zhibang calculated and said: "That is to say, there should be two thousand people in the Black Mountain Clan, and the Fire Dance Clan is now less than a thousand people in the old, weak, sick and disabled, if there is a war, the Black Mountain Clan can at least pull up a team of nearly a thousand people, and there is a huge disparity between the enemy and us...... Even if the Wood Dragon Clan is willing to send all the strong men, it may not be comparable to the Black Mountain Clan in terms of numbers, and if the Luohe Clan is willing to send troops, it will have some advantages...... However, wars can only be won by relying on more people, and throughout the ages, there have been too many examples of winning more with less, and as long as the tactics are proper and the preparations are sufficient, it is not impossible to defeat two with one enemy, or even with one enemy with five......
"What are you muttering......
Liu Zhibang raised his head, Aya was looking at her with curious eyes, Liu Zhibang made a decision in his heart, and said seriously: "Aya, do you want to destroy the Black Mountain Clan to avenge the old patriarch?" ”
Aya replied firmly: "Of course, the revenge of killing my father is not shared!" Whatever you want, I will satisfy you, even if you want me...... I'll give you ...... too."
Boom...... Boom...... Boom......
"Something's wrong!"
"The sound of the gong...... The patriarch has something important to gather everyone, go to the village square quickly......"
When the Fire Dance people heard the sound of the gong, they all hurried to the square in the center of the village, and Aya and Liu Zhibang were already standing on the big stone in the square.
Seeing that the clansmen had all arrived, Aya said loudly with a serious face: "Summoning all the clansmen here today is an important matter to announce......
"Aya, what happened, could it be that the Black Mountain Clan is calling again?"
"Patriarch, is it that the city lord of Xia Yuan has sent someone to catch coolies again......
Aya waved to the crowd and said, "Everyone be quiet, I called everyone here today to announce something, everyone listen......"
When everyone heard this, they all held their breath, and it was the first time that everyone had seen Aya with such a serious expression.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Aya said: "Our Fire Dance Clan has lived in Wumang Mountain for generations, relying on the protection of the Phoenix God, the Fire Dance Clan has been passed down here from generation to generation. But Wumang Mountain has never been peaceful, the Black Mountain Clan, the Lingshi Clan, they are embarrassed, occupy the mountains and forests of our ancestors, and kill our compatriots of the Fire Dance Clan, some time ago, the Fire Dance Clan was almost wiped out by the Black Mountain Clan. However, the Phoenix God was immortal in the spirit of the sky, and sent the white-clothed divine envoy Liu Zhibang to kill the Black Barbarian Badu, repel the Black Mountain Clan, and bring hope to our Fire Dance Clan. The white-clothed god envoy brought the will of the Phoenix God, and asked all of us Fire Dance clan to respect the god envoy and serve the god envoy as the leader, and all the clansmen must unconditionally obey the orders of the god envoy, including me. The Divine Envoy will lead the Fire Dance Clan, defeat the Black Mountain Clan, avenge the dead clansmen, avenge the old patriarch, recapture the robbed mountains and forests, so that the Fire Dance Clan will no longer be bullied, and will be prosperous and ......powerful from now on."
Aya's words, the clansmen were a little confused, some were stunned on the spot, and some whispered to each other.
"It's ...... What is Patriarch Aya doing? ”
