232. Give me all Northumbria
The monk didn't stop until he was dying of exhaustion.
"Damn, sewer shit, shit and pee...... Blessed is God. ”
And in the stronghold just now, the Viking leader with an identity touched the gift sent by the Orlan monk and played with it.
"Your Majesty Hafdan, you see, this group of people is really weak."
Uba's men were very pleased with the result.
But the other leaders were dissatisfied, and a warrior who followed Halfdan with a broken face spoke, "Only your names are mentioned on it, is that evenly distributed?"
It is supposed to be so, but when Orlan comes into contact with the Viking envoys, he always secretly conveys a concept,
The crusaders were afraid that Ragnar and Yinvar had nothing to do with "Hafdan", and once they paid tribute, they would have to give it to the Uba camp first.
These words were not written in plain language, but they had spread.
If the Havedan camp does not fight for it, it can only get two percent.
The battlefield is fought together, the dead and wounded are borne together, and when it comes to sharing the spoils, they can only take such a little.
Unless Odin comes to God, no one will give face!
The two parties come and go, revealing each other's scars.
Originally, Uba also considered giving face to this brother, but the brother's speech was too ugly!
After the quarrel was fruitless, the crowd looked at the two kings, and Hafdan spoke first, "We have hollowed out the tomb of the Oran family, and we have formed a grudge against the Crusaders, do you really believe that he pays tribute, in case it is a trap?"
In that case, we will not be buried in the sea, but we may be buried in the enemy's banquet. ”
He did not express his dissatisfaction with the distribution of tribute, but emphasized what if it was a conspiracy of God?
"Despicable Gentiles cannot be trusted, Your Majesty Uba."
"You are too careful, that man even killed his own relatives and father-in-law, and he will not be angry for the cemetery of the dead."
"No, a few months ago they were enemies of life and death, but now they are docile as goats, and anyone with brains can see it!"
The two sides quarreled again, and the last sentence made Uba angry.
He saw it as Hafdan's indulgence in his men's insult to him.
His father, Ragnar, was the most famous Viking king, but before middle age, he also experienced many failures and was destroyed several times.
As the child of a different mother, Uba and his brother Yinwar were protected from hiding in a village controlled by Halfdan's mother when their father was attacked by enemies from other tribes.
Although there is food, it is a not very warm memory,
So much so that as soon as he reached adulthood, his brother joined the dragon boat team alone and went to the new and unknown sea.
In the following year, he followed his brother.
The two eventually moved away from Scandinavia to establish their own land in Ireland.
But Ireland is too small, and there are other Viking leaders in the lead.
Kings are no different from earls.
Now a new opportunity has arrived.
England!
Millions of Anza people are millions of tribute-paying livestock.
Warm land, lush wheat grains, herds of cattle and sheep, wide plains.
If Halfdan wants to score, then it is okay to be polite, but this attitude is unsatisfactory......
Hafdan watched Uba enter into thought, thinking that his men's words were working, but he did not know that Uba was recalling past grievances.
This controversy came to an end in the chatter.
Three days later, Oran's caravans came again, bringing horses and furs and wine to Uba.
There is no unevenness.
Endure you once or twice, shake it in front of us three times or four times, and the other Vikings will have an idea and finally start intercepting it.
They thought it should be distributed fairly, and why should it all be taken by the warriors of Uba.
During the fight, some of Hafdan's men hurriedly shouted that the Uba side was plotting with Oran to sell their interests.
From Orlan's retreat, the song of Yinval, the tribute sent, to the conflict between the two sides, cracks began to appear in this seemingly stable camp.
But after all, they are brothers whose blood dissolves in water, and as long as their father is still around, the two will not be able to inflict their swords on themselves.
Under the intervention of the two of them, they suppressed the dissatisfaction of their respective camps.
Hafdan then asked Uba to meet him, but was replied that Hafdan would come over himself.
For the sake of the overall situation, Hafdan personally went to the camp in Uba.
When he saw Oran's horse, the looming body of the Anza woman, and a few crates of wine, he advised, "These things, like poison, will turn you into a sheep, my dear brother." ”
"Aren't we here to grab these?"
"Yes, so we don't have to talk to them, drive the army over, find out where they are weak in defense, like a wolf attacking and biting off the enemy's neck in one bite.
Although they have built guards and wooden forts everywhere, there are too many rivers and swamps in England, and we can use the old way, find unguarded rivers, and attack from places they don't expect. ”
"Are you still in command? My brother. ”
"I am my father's commander, and you are my deputy." As he spoke, Hafdan picked up a cloud of sand from the ground and let it drain from his fingers, "Whatever it is, even if it is this soil, we are half of us." ”
Uba was silent.
Unity is strength, and he understands that.
He tentatively asked, "Father and Björn and Sigurd had a big victory in the South, and I heard that they were going to split Wessex into three pieces.
One for the warlords, two for Björn and Sigurd, you have Denmark with Sigurd, and I have five hundred men from Ireland and other Viking regions.
I need a piece of land to house them, and their family members.
What do you think of giving me the north of Yorkshire, all the way to Edinburgh?
In return, the land of Mercia, I will not touch. ”
Hafdanpi didn't smile.
Uba's appetite is too big, which is equivalent to giving him ninety percent of the entire Northumbria, and in the future, Yin Val will come to threaten Gallowey and Scotland, and the two brothers can open up the territory and completely control North Britain.
As for giving Mercia to herself?
It's a joke.
Once my father went north, there would be another group of lords to eat Mercia.
On this expedition, more than 1,000 tribal warriors came from Sweden and Finland, and they were recruited in the form of mercenaries.
No goods were given first, but as soon as all the loot arrived, a portion was taken first.
The fight against Wessex seemed to be a great victory, but hundreds of thousands of England fled, walked away, and rebellions of all sizes continued.
I can't settle down for a year and a half.
Now I promise this condition to Uba, there are too many changes.
Besides, Uba came with hundreds of people, and when he shouted with a big mouth, he dared to ask for the territory of hundreds of thousands of people!
"Gold and silver shine, but they destroy, Uba."
"Then when you became the leader of the Danes, why did you ask them to hand over large pieces of silver? Hafdan. ”
The two parted unhappily.
Then, seeing the two of them dissolved, one of the servants came in and whispered to Uba.
Ubhama rode to a newly occupied stronghold.
