Chapter 536: Infighting
Battles come and go as fast as they go.
As soon as Balu died, the 5,000 elite soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and they quickly retreated, with no intention of fighting again.
Luo Tong led people to rush and kill for a while, and killed people so much that their heads were rolling, and they were full of corpses, and they were killed to the periphery of the Putao tribe and put them at a stop.
This battle played majestic, played with momentum, and also killed a lot.
Luo Tong was in a good mood, listening to Lin Ping's report on the results of the battle, while thinking about how to take down the Putao tribe.
The Putao tribe was miserable.
The atmosphere in the tent was even more oppressive and heavy.
The death of the first warrior Balu not only hit the morale of the troops, but also hit the confidence of the top level of the tribe, and the peacemakers became more and more nervous, afraid, and worried, and the main battle faction also lost the arrogance and self-confidence just now.
The tribal leader was very angry when he saw this scene, his cold gaze fell on the shaman, and he asked coldly: "Shaman, you say, is it war or peace?" ”
The shaman's face was pale, and he was indifferent, he had been beheaded five warriors in a row before, and now that the first warrior was dead, who would dare to lead the troops to fight? Where else can anyone lead the troops to fight again?
There are no generals to send, how can this battle be fought?
Not only do shamans not know what to say, but other people are equally psychological.
But the tribal leader did not want to let go of the great opportunity to suppress the shaman's prestige, and said coldly: "Shaman, do you have something to say? ”
"This time I made a mistake in judgment and had nothing to say." The shaman said stiffly.
The tribal leader was not easy to suppress too harshly, so he accepted it when he saw it, and asked: "From now on, you and I will perform our respective duties to make the tribe more prosperous and prosperous, okay?" ”
"Yes!" Shaman said with a blushing face.
The shaman is the spiritual leader of the tribe and is responsible for sacrifices, prayers, divination, healing, edification, guidance, etc., while the chief is the material leader and is responsible for the governance and management of the tribe, diplomacy, military affairs, and so on.
Pu Tao Shaman is unwilling to be only a spiritual leader, wants to seize power, become the supreme leader of the tribe, the only leader, ****, and also has the strength to resist the tribe, especially the support of the first warrior Balu, but as soon as Balu died, the situation reversed and had to compromise.
Thinking that the layout of many years was in vain, the shaman was very unwilling, a touch of madness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it, and the leader didn't notice anything abnormal, looking at everyone and continuing: "The enemy is too strong, like a wolf on the side, it may attack again at any time, time is pressing, is it war or peace?" ”
The crowd was silent, secretly observing the shaman.
The shaman did not jump out again this time to ask for battle, and the other main fighters did not say anything.
After waiting for a while, the tribal leader said in a deep voice: "The stakes are very high, let's vote according to the rules of the clan." ”
Soon two quivers were placed in the open space, one representing the battle and the other representing the peace, and everyone went up one after another and put an arrow in a different quiver.
The results of the vote came out quickly, and the number of people who were in favor of the main peace.
The tribal leader glanced at the shaman, his eyes fell on a young man, and said in a deep voice: "You are the young patriarch, it is most appropriate for you to come forward to talk, go to meet the enemy generals outside, be respectful, surrender is okay, but you must keep the tribe intact and independent, you can become a vassal, but you can't be a slave, this is the bottom line, as for other requirements, listen to the other party's opinions first, and then discuss when you come back." ”
The young man said yes and left in a hurry.
No one noticed that the shaman was looking at the door, and the man made a hidden gesture.
The next thing is to wait, and everyone is silent.
The atmosphere is oppressive and cold!
Not long after, suddenly a group of people rushed into the big tent and cut people when they saw them, which was extremely fierce.
Everyone recognized the people who came in and looked at the shaman, and the tribal leader roared angrily, "What are you going to do? ”
"What for?" The shaman said disdainfully: "Only by killing you soft bones can Pu Tao be strong, can I restore my former glory, and my years of hard work will not be in vain." ”
"You're going to send your tribe to hell from which you will never recover, you deserve to die." The tribal leader roared angrily, drawing his sword and rushing forward, his eyes red like a madly lion.
But several people rushed up to block it, one person fought to the death to hold the leader, and the other two rushed up and cut down, where could the tribal leader hide, and the others were also chased and killed, and there was no way to come up in time to rescue, and they were cut to the ground.
One person was about to mend the knife, but the shaman stepped forward and pulled the person away, stared at the leader and said, "You are too weak to be the leader of Putao, how can the great Putao tribe perish in your hands?" ”
"Why?" The tribal leader ignored the shaman, but looked at the one who had come in.
The shaman sneered, "I didn't expect that your guard commander was actually one of mine. ”
"You're my son, how can you?" The tribal leaders stared at each other.
The other party sneered disdainfully: "No, I am the son of the shaman. ”
"What, you
? The tribal leader looked at the shaman with a tearful eye.
"Kill him!" The shaman was too lazy to talk nonsense and looked at the man.
The man rushed forward and stabbed the name of the tribal leader.
At this time, most of the others in the tooth tent were also killed, and the rest were shamans.
The shaman slowly walked to the main seat, stroked the seat, and finally realized his dream for many years, and said in a good mood, with a little high spirit: "Thank you for your support, let us work together to restore the glory of our ancestors." ”
"Obey your lordship's orders." Everyone expressed their opinions.
"The order goes down, the guards go to arrest the young patriarch, and the armies are strictly guarded against it, and they are not allowed to fight privately, in addition, the Flying Eagle Messenger Department said that we are willing to become vassals, as long as they send troops to help and defeat the enemy outside, we will pay tribute of 10,000 cattle and 10,000 sheep every year in the future." The shaman said slowly, his eyes cold.
"My lord, in this way, the fate of the clan will be in the hands of the Dianhe tribe." Someone reminded.
"No—"
The shaman looked at the other party and sneered: "Do you think that the enemy outside is easy to deal with, this is called borrowing a knife to kill people, and the disaster will lead to the east, as long as the Dianhe Department sends troops, such as offending the enemy outside, and when they kill both sides, what will the Dianhe Department threaten us in the future?" Maybe we'll have a chance to swallow it. ”
Everyone was able to understand it a little, laughing excitedly, and there was no objection.
At this time, a man covered in blood, hurried in, knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "It's not good, the young patriarch ran away with his five thousand men and horses. ”
"What, how dare he?"
The shaman was taken aback, he got up, his eyes were full of fierce light, and he asked: "The big tent is already all our people, he has gone to negotiate, there is no reason to know, who leaked the news?" ”
"It's the third concubine of the adult, and she sent someone to inform the young patriarch."
"What?" The shaman suddenly felt a large green grassland on his head, and he was furious, and he drew his knife to cut down the person who told the news, his eyes fell on one person, and shouted: "Quickly lead the army to chase and kill, but do not kill the tribe." ”
The other party nodded and hurried away.
The shaman panicked inexplicably, feeling that the situation was out of control, and shouted: "You wait to return to the team as soon as possible, take care of your team, and never allow any more traitors, and if you find a defector, you will be killed." ”
Everyone said yes and hurried away.
Extra-tribal.
Luo Tong was bored and bragging to Lin Ping, discussing how to sneak attack at night, and suddenly found a large number of people rushing out, and immediately smiled: "Hahaha, there are people who are sent to death again, pass my order, prepare to fight, this time Lao Tzu will eat them all." ”
The order was quickly heard, and everyone drew their swords and waited solemnly.
Soon, Luo Tong found that something was wrong, there were old people, children, and women and children in the team that rushed over, who would let the children go on when they rushed into battle? It's not that it's no one.
If something goes wrong, it's a demon.
Luo Tong realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Lin Ping, something is wrong, give the order, don't shoot arrows first, I'll take a look, once I do it, you will lead someone to cover up and kill later." ”
"Understood, be careful." Lin Ping also saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly agreed.
"Drive!"
Luo Tong urged the horse to move forward some distance, and saw that the person who came was not hostile, and was slowing down, and his doubts were even worse, so he stopped his horse, and when he saw a person coming forward, he looked carefully.
It was the young patriarch of the Putao tribe who came, he didn't carry a weapon, raised his hands slightly to show kindness, stopped about ten meters away, and said in a not very proficient Tang language: "I am the young patriarch of the Putao tribe, and I am willing to surrender to your tribe, but there is one condition, help me kill the tribal shaman." ”
"Oh, why?" Luo Tong asked bluntly.
The young patriarch did not beat around the bush and explained: "Just now, the tribe decided to negotiate peace, and I am the representative of the peace talks, but the shaman is the main battle, launched a mutiny, and slaughtered the high-ranking of the tribe, I am fortunate to escape, and the revenge of killing my father is not shared, as long as you help me avenge it, from now on, I and my army will obey orders and never betray." ”
"What if I don't?" Luo Tong asked rhetorically.
"Then I will lead the troops to leave, find another opportunity, and ask the adults to make it convenient, and I will report in the future."
"It's kind of interesting, Lao Tzu likes to deal with smart people, and your request has been granted." Luo Tong agreed, his eyes were shining, and he was as white as five thousand soldiers and horses, where could he find such a good thing? Pu Tao has 5,000 fewer soldiers and horses, and the forces of both sides are evenly matched, so tonight's sneak attack is more certain.
"Tell me your way, as long as you are sure, my life is yours." Lou asked.
"Is this a rabbit and an eagle?" Luo Tong suddenly smiled, the other party was so urgent, and his demeanor was also anxious, it can be seen that surrender is not a fraud, Pu Tao is stable!
