Text: Emperor Xuanyuan asks for help from Shennong
The leader of the Shennong tribe is the Shennong clan, that is, the Yan Emperor. This tribe is located in the south, the wind and rain are smooth, Shennong's taste of herbs, the medical research is very deep, the people of the tribe are not only rich in food and clothing, and the average life expectancy is higher than that of the Xuanyuan tribe and the people of the Chiyou tribe, almost everyone in the tribe understands medical skills, is a very peace-loving tribe, people get along with each other very harmoniously, it can be said that the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, but the providence makes people, because the war between the Chiyou and the Xuanyuan tribe finally fell into them.
On this day, Shennong went out to pick medicine and taste herbs as usual, the south is rich, there are many kinds of herbs, Shennong's every day to collect medicine and test medicine, it can be said that he is very happy, and it is also his great wish to keep the people away from diseases. Shennong was tasting a new herb when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Shennong chief, chief, the leader of the Xuanyuan tribe is here, saying that he wants to see you, and there is something important to discuss." At this time, a big question mark appeared in Shennong's head, Emperor Xuanyuan? Why is he here? He also said that there is a big matter to discuss, it seems that this matter is unusual, and something big is going to happen. Shennong handed the medicine basket to the person who reported the news and said: Go, go back with me quickly, Emperor Xuanyuan came in person, something must have happened.
When Shennong returned to the tribe, he saw Emperor Xuanyuan and his entourage looking embarrassed, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, why do you look like this?" "Alas, it's all tears when you think about it, what does Emperor Xuanyuan say? Say that you lost the battle, it's too embarrassing, say that you fell by yourself, it's too nonsense, you can only bite the bullet and say: "Leader Shennong, our tribe is occupied by Chiyou." As soon as he heard that Chiyou had occupied the Xuanyuan tribe Shennong was stunned, the fear in his heart forced him to be stunned, because he knew what it meant, it meant that the people were going to live a hard life, and if the Xuanyuan tribe was destroyed, the next one would be the Shennong tribe. Seeing Shennong's stunned, Emperor Xuanyuan shouted: "Leader Shennong, what's wrong with you?" Shennong relieved himself and asked, "What is the matter with you saying that Chiyou occupied your tribe? Chiyou is located in the north, there have been droughts for several years, all the animals have run away, there is no prey at all, and the food planted has dried up, so they came to my Xuanyuan tribe and hoped that I could give them a piece of land for them to survive, I said that I can only give them food and not give them territory, if the land is given to them, what will happen to my people, how do I know that Chiyou is a violent temper, and without saying a word, he launched an attack on us. The people of our tribe were killed and captured, and now the tribe has been occupied by Chiyou. Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that Emperor Xuanyuan would lead the people to have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, but I didn't expect it..... Alas. β
Hearing this, Shennong already knew the purpose of Emperor Xuanyuan's visit this time, which was nothing more than to unite with my Shennong tribe to deal with Chiyou, but Shennong didn't want to get involved in their big war, so he said: "Although you can heal your wounds here with peace of mind, after you recover, you can lead your people to reopen up a piece of land, and there will always be more suitable land in the world." 'Emperor Xuanyuan is a person who is easy to admit defeat, and he doesn't dare to go back if he is defeated, so how can he, the leader, go on, won't he be laughed off by the clansmen?
Emperor Xuanyuan sighed deeply: "Actually, I came to ask you this time, if you want to deal with Chiyou, you and I can only win him if we join forces to win him, if we find a new land to survive, there will be more and more people in the Chiyou tribe at that time, and we will definitely expand the territory, do we have to continue to run to other places?" Shennong did not immediately agree to Emperor Xuanyuan's request, but said: "Brother Chiyou is eighteen people, each brave and good at fighting, even if you and I join forces, they may not be his opponents." Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shennong: "Emperor Leader, you are already very tired from coming all the way, I ordered someone to take you to rest first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow." Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanyuan didn't say anything anymore, because he knew what Shennong's concerns were, and since this was the case, he could only slow down for a while and talk about it tomorrow.
After Emperor Xuanyuan left, Ji Kui asked, "Chief Shennong, why don't you directly agree to Emperor Xuanyuan's request?" Ji Kui is the great elder of the Shennong tribe, very wise, and there are many things that Shennong will listen to his opinion. The reason why Shennong didn't directly agree was also to listen to his opinion first and see if there was any better advice. Shennong said: "The Chiyou clan is good at fighting, if I join forces with Xuanyuan to deal with Chiyou, then the people of my clan will definitely fall into this war, and they will definitely be ruined at that time." Ji Kui asked rhetorically: "If Chiyou completely exterminates the Xuanyuan clan, will our Shennong tribe still be safe and sound?" After Chiyou occupies the Xuanyuan tribe, it will definitely rely on the fertile land to continue to grow and develop, and when the time comes, with the increase of their clansmen, they will definitely expand their territory, and our Shennong tribe is located in the south, the land is fertile, there are many kinds of food, and there are all kinds of medicinal materials, so we will inevitably have a war with the Chiyou clan, and at that time Chiyou's military strength must be stronger than now, and we will not be able to escape the disaster of extermination. "Shennong also wants to join forces with Emperor Xuanyuan in his heart, but he can't afford to be defeated, so he wants to ask for the opinions of others, if others also agree to join forces with Emperor Xuanyuan to fight against Chiyou, on the one hand, it shows that others are not afraid of war, and the chance of winning is greater. Now that he heard Elder Ji Kui say the same, then Shennong didn't have so many worries, turned around and said, immediately summoning other elders to come over to discuss the matter.
After a while, the other five elders came, Shennong sat in the main seat, and the six elders sat down in turn. Shennong spoke first: "Elders, today the leader of the Xuanyuan tribe came to ask for help, hoping to join forces with our clan to fight against the Chiyou clan, what do you think?" Great Elder Ji Kui said: "The Chiyou clan has now occupied the Xuanyuan tribe, and he will definitely invade our Shennong clan after he rests and recuperates, so I am in favor of uniting with Emperor Xuanyuan to fight against Chiyou." The second elder only stroked his white beard and said: "If there is a war, the people of our clan will definitely have losses, and it is inevitable that the lives will be ruined at that time, so I suggest that I send someone to negotiate with Chiyou first, after all, Chiyou, Xuanyuan, and Shennong have been living together peacefully, if this time we unite Xuanyuan against Chiyou, then we will definitely fight a protracted war, and the people of the three tribes will be in dire straits. I don't know what the other elders think?" Actually, everyone was reluctant to fight, so when they heard the second elder say this, they all echoed it and said that they agreed with the second elder's suggestion. Shennong also thought this suggestion was very good, so he decided to send an envoy to negotiate with Chiyou first, but who should he let negotiate with Chiyou? Shennong's eyes wandered, obviously with doubts in his heart. The second elder saw through Shennong's thoughts at a glance, stood up and said: "Although the Chiyou clan is savage and warlike by nature, they are not reckless, and this attack on the Xuanyuan tribe is also because of the famine for many years, and they are forced to do so, so it can be seen that Chiyou is also a good leader who loves the people, as long as I communicate with him well, I think this war can be avoided, and I am only willing to negotiate with Chiyou to reach a new armistice agreement to avoid more casualties among the people." In fact, the second elder Youyi is a kind and wise man, and he will try his best to think about the good side of everything, but some things are not as beautiful as he thinks, no matter what, the second elder Youyi's suggestion is still very good, salute first and then soldier. In the end, the leader of Shennong added: "Let's do it according to the second elder's wishes, but this matter still has to be told to Emperor Xuanyuan, if it is really not good, we will unite against Chiyou." After the end of the discussion, Shennong personally went to Emperor Xuanyuan to tell him the results of the discussion, although Emperor Xuanyuan was unhappy, but there was no way, after all, Shennong, as the leader, was responsible for the whole clan, so he agreed to Shennong's suggestion, so that he could also recuperate during the negotiation period, and then convene the tribesmen to counterattack, this is Emperor Xuanyuan's inner confession, because he wants to take back what he lost, he does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, now it is just a temporary forbearance, and when the opportunity is ripe, he will definitely destroy the Chiyou clanγ
