Wakayama didn't know about it when the envoy of the Aimuro country, Lord Etsuko, came to Ariyu Village for the first time, but later the monarch of the Aimuro country sent someone to Ariyu Village, and so many things happened in such a long period of time, it was impossible not to leak any rumors. Ruoshan, who has been paying attention to the movements of Youyu Village, naturally found out a lot of news, and he also quietly infiltrated the vicinity of Youyu Village to secretly investigate, and mastered a lot of more secret information.

So Ruoshan returned to Lu Village and asked Ruoshui and Gu Xin, the patriarch of Huahai Village, to discuss countermeasures. According to Ruoshan's speculation, since the last disappearance of Yuliang, it has been difficult for Yucun to move, but things have taken an unexpected turn. Yu Dahuo sent Yu and swam to Ba Yuan, and became a messenger to pay tribute to the monarch of the Prime Muro Kingdom on behalf of the barbarian tribes, and thus received the reward and support of the Prime Muro Country.

Youyu Village is the most powerful tribe in the wilderness today, with the benefits of fish and salt, far richer than most other tribes, and now with the help of farmers and soldiers sent by the Xiangmuro country, the production is more developed, the material supply is also more abundant, and more people can break away from daily work and specialize in military drills.

Ruoshan said: "Youyu Village has trained a battle formation of 100 people, not for hunting, but for attack and preparation, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will force all the barbarian tribes to respect it, and it is no longer the current situation of peaceful coexistence." ”

Gu Xin said: "Even if they have a battle formation of 100 people, can they still cross such a difficult and dangerous long-distance road in the wilderness to attack Lu Village and Huahai Village? In this kind of place, his battle formation cannot be opened, as long as they suffer a slight setback, they will inevitably be defeated after a long time." ”

Ruoshui also said: "Even if Yucun has the support of the Xiangmuro Country, can the Xiangmuro Country still send a large army into the wilderness to help the Yucun attack the various tribes? No matter how strong the national strength is, it can't withstand such attrition, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Both of them are talking about the same truth, the struggle for hegemony between the tribes in the wilderness, the long and difficult road is a natural barrier. If a large group of men and horses is a long-distance expedition, the logistical pressure may not be borne by any tribe for a long time. Moreover, it was impossible to transport baggage on such mountain roads, and weapons and food had to be carried by people, and it was impossible for so many people to rely on hunting for food only when it was difficult to transport supplies, and no one could last long.

As long as Lu Village and Huahai Village are prepared, occupy a favorable location and defend the choke point, even if Youyu Village has a strong military formation, it is impossible to capture the village.

Ruoshan shook his head and said, "Youyu Village doesn't need to attack Lu Village and Huahai Village for a long time, and there is no need to attack other tribes. They had the easiest way into the Central Valley, and they had already established a stronghold. Therefore, as long as the decisive battle in the valley is sufficient, no one can be defeated by the army formation, and if Yucun completely controls the central valley, the tribes will have to obey the orders.

At that time, even if Lu Village and Huahai Village are unwilling to listen, the road connecting with the outside of the mountain has been cut off, and the communication and exchange with the various tribes must pass through the territory of the Yuyu clan, and their rules must be observed. Otherwise, we will have to stay here in isolation, unable to exchange what we need with the tribes, let alone get anything other than our own property, and the tribes will decline sooner or later, and we will still not be able to fight against the fish village in the future. ”

Gu Xin frowned and said, "In this way, sooner or later, there will be a conflict in the Central Valley. If we prepare in advance, concentrate the elite warriors of both clans in that valley, and then bring all the elite men with us, there are more than 300 people who can fight, can we win in one battle?"

Wakayama: "It's this problem that I'm worried about, Ariyumura is already rich, and he has the help of the Prime Minister's Country, so he can support and train a hundred-man battle formation for a long time. And although we were able to gather more than 300 soldiers, it was only a temporary move, and it was impossible for them to be stationed in the valley for a long time to practice, and we could not afford to support them.

The trained battle formations, coupled with the armor and weapons they are equipped with, are suitable for combat, and their combat effectiveness is far beyond that of ordinary hunting teams, let alone the ability of heterozygous people. If we really fight in formation on the plains, even if we can gather 300 warriors in time, I am afraid that we will not be an opponent. Moreover, the losses of such a war are also unbearable for you and me. ”

This is also true, the more than 300 warriors who can go out of the mountains to fight are also the most important strong laborers of the two tribes, and they cannot be separated from production for a long time, and they only guard against the fish village in the central valley. If conflict comes, they will probably not have time to assemble at all, and even if they can assemble for a fight, the result will be very disastrous.

If these 300 strong laborers suffered too many casualties and too many losses, it would be a catastrophe for the tribe, and it would be difficult for them to continue to survive in the wilderness, and then the victory or defeat would be meaningless.

Ruoshui snorted coldly: "Ruoshan, when the time comes, you and I can go to war, directly break down their military formation, and slaughter the big fish shell!"

Wakayama smiled bitterly: "I also thought so, if this can be solved, of course it would be the best." I don't need you to rush into battle, I'll go alone. ”

Ruoshui was very dissatisfied and said, "What? Do you look down on my cultivation, even if you want to die, you have to go alone!"

As soon as Gu Xin heard this, his tone was wrong, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Granny Shui, what Lord Shan means is that he doesn't want you to be in danger, if there is anything dangerous, he will charge in front of you." ”

Ruoshui: "I just don't like his idea, I always think that I have great ability, and I can do anything alone, and I don't need the help of a woman!"

Ruoshan hurriedly explained: "I have no intention of doing so, you haven't heard me finish your words." Fang just said that if it can be solved in this way, of course, it is the best, but it is a pity that although you and I are masters in this wilderness, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the well-trained and well-equipped battle formation alone. You must know that there are monks among them, as long as they can resist delaying you and me for a moment, and the armor surrounds them, the situation will not be good.

And if you and I make a mistake, Lu Village and Huahai Village will lose their protection, even if they want to exist alone in the wilderness, they can't get it. And we have to deal with not only Ariyu Village, but also Aimuro Province. Although the Prime Minister State can't send a large army here, he can always send a few masters. They don't have to be higher in cultivation than you and me, as long as they can cooperate with the military formation to block our onslaught. ”

Ruoshui also frowned: "You said so much, and the left and right are invincible, so what should we do, are we just resigned to fate?"

Ruoshan said gently: "Don't worry, in fact, I have other ideas about this matter." I think that the Qingshui clan was the co-master in the wilderness at the beginning, and there was nothing bad about everyone being safe, but now we just don't want to see Yu Da Shell realize his ambitions. It would be a good thing for the Zomuro Kingdom to integrate the barbarian tribes and form a tribal alliance. Isn't it good for both clans that Lu Village and Huahai Village have formed an alliance so far?"

Gu Xin suddenly interjected: "I somewhat understand what the mountain master means, since the Xiangmuro country has intervened in the affairs of the wilderness and wants the various tribes to form an alliance, then we will follow the situation to promote the alliance, but we can't let Youyu Village succeed, and we won't let Yu Da Shell realize his selfish ambition." ”

Ruoshan nodded and said: "That's right! The various tribes have formed an alliance and opened up formal contact with Ba Yuan, and we can get a lot of things from Ba Yuan, which cannot be produced in the wilderness, and we can also exchange the surplus products here for Lang, so what's the difference? The road is difficult, and it is impossible for the Xiangmuro country to send a large army to conquer and control this place, so it can only be a nominal appeasement." If the tribesmen are willing to accept the conscription of Ba Yuan and go to the world outside the mountains to see the world, just like the ancestors of my Lu Village, then it is not impossible. ”

Gu Xin nodded again and again, but Ruoshui snorted coldly: "Go to Ba Yuan to have a good time and see the world? Didn't you do this back then, and now you still want to go again, maybe you can get a city lord on Ba Yuan?"

Ruoshan quickly explained: "No, no, no, this is not talking about myself. As long as you are, I will be there. ”

Gu Xin found that the tone of Granny Shui's speech to Shan Ye today was very wrong, she always wanted to provoke and argue, and she didn't know what past happened between the two, she was discussing business today, but Granny Shui turned over the old accounts, so he kept silent.

Ruoshui said again: "You say, don't you have to defeat the army formation of Youyu Village on the plain? We have already analyzed it just now, and we don't have any good way. ”

Wakayama: "Victory and victory have different meanings, and once you see the situation clearly, you have to think of the most appropriate countermeasures. We can also train an army formation, which will be enough to confront the army of Yuomura, and tell the envoys of the Aimuro Kingdom that they have been deceived by Yuyumura, and if they give up the idea of supporting the supremacy of Yuyumura, the barbarian tribes can still form an alliance, but they must listen to their opinions. ”

Gu Xin couldn't help but speak again: "But how can we train an army formation? It doesn't seem to have this condition!"

Wakayama: "That's why I talked to you today. In my early years, I had been in the middle of the country, when the countries of the country were in the midst of civil strife, and I had learned how to drill military formations, which was different from hunting using the terrain. We also train a team, not too many people, about fifty people, which is what our two tribes can support. If everyone in this army formation had a strong strength, and even someone with infinite manpower who was stronger than ordinary Second Realm cultivators, it would be enough to decide the situation.

I personally experienced the war in my early years, and I heard that the unified Pakistan country had a population of nearly 400,000 on the plains at its peak, but after a long period of civil strife, the population of each country was at least 100,000, and it has only gradually recovered in recent decades, but it is no longer the peak situation of the year. I don't want to see the barbarian tribes in this area fall into that situation in any way, otherwise many small tribes will perish. Therefore, if you have the best way to win, it is best to win without a fight. ”

Gu Xin was puzzled: "But how can we train such a military formation? If we have such ability, do we still need to sit here and worry?"

Ruoshui suddenly reacted, looked at Ruoshan and said, "Do you want to train the clansmen of Lu Village and Huahai Village to practice the mountain opening power passed down by our ancestor Wu Ding?"
