Chapter 823 Dragon Totem

After seven years of learning with Chen Kan, Chi You, who was only 19 years old, was elected by the tribe as the eleventh co-lord of the Xuanniao Tribe by the tribe with his strong military power and outstanding military achievements. This was the first person besides Chen Kan to become the co-lord of the outstanding military achievements.

Of course, it is inevitable that Chi You will become a communist, because anyone who understands it can see that the war with the Youxiong Tribe is not far away, and the strength of the Youxiong Tribe is obvious to all. Now the Xuanniao Tribe needs a communist with strong force to lead them to defeat the powerful enemy of the Youxiong Tribe.

Chi You became a common ruler under such historical conditions. This is the inevitability and contingency of history. If Chi You were born early or twenty years later, he might not have had anything to do with the common ruler.

As soon as Chi You came to power, there was no major change in other aspects, so he remained the same. He only made major reforms in the military.

He first recruited the strongest of the eighty-one tribes, each leading a hundred strong warriors, a total of eighty-one people, forming eighty-one teams, and each nine teams formed a brigade to become the permanent army of the Xuanniao tribe. In addition to the necessary farming and hunting, he practiced uninterruptedly every day, created excellent weapons and protective gear, and hoarded food.

More than 8,000 young and middle-aged people are an extraordinary labor force in this era. Even large tribes like Xuanniao will have a great impact on production after losing this part of the labor force. In order to make up for the loss of labor, Chiyou began to squeeze the labor force of slaves and let the slaves do more things. The status of slaves began to decline rapidly, and the quality of life was even worse. The situation of all slaves in the family was fine, and all slaves in those tribes were simply terrible.

Of course, no one said anything about slaves, because in this era, slaves were not humans, and in the trading market, the price of slaves was not as good as a lamb.

After Chi You took office, there were more and more conflicts between the Xuanniao Tribe and the Youxiong Tribe Alliance, and the scale of the conflict became larger and larger. There were even several local conflicts with more than 5,000 people (including slaves).

In the fourth year of Chiyou's reign, the war finally broke out. Chiyou took the initiative to attack the Jiang tribe close to the Xuanniao tribe. Faced with the well-trained Chiyou army, the Jiang tribe was defeated without any surprise.

When his younger brother was bullied, the elder brother naturally had to speak out. The Youxiong Tribe summoned all the tribes in the alliance to send troops and gathered an army of more than 20,000 people.

Find a plain, the two sides set up their formations and fought hard. In the end, Chi You won a great victory. What happened later was like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu who were fighting for hegemony in Chu and Han.

The Xuanniao Tribe is indeed powerful, but there are too many members of the Youxiong Tribe Alliance, which constantly causes trouble for Chiyou's army. The most important thing is that at the beginning, Chiyou strictly follows Chen Kan's earliest set of conduct rules. Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. The consequence is that no tribe surrenders, and all tribes are fighting to the death.

The Communist leader of the Youxiong Tribe Alliance kept gathering troops to fight Chiyou like Liu Bang, and carried out six times, each time ending with the victory of Chiyou's army, and Chiyou put out fires everywhere like the overlord Xiang Yu.

After suffering many secret losses, Chi You came to his senses and had to agree to the other party surrender and form a tribal alliance so that he could defeat the Youxiong Tribe.

However, it was a bit late for Chi You to come back to his senses. It was not that his combat effectiveness was not good, but that Chi You's image had been established in the Youxiong Tribe Alliance. He agreed to surrender, but the other party didn't know that it was a conspiracy, and then he fought to the death again.

In this era of low productivity, food is a very precious resource. Chiyou fought for more than a year and almost hollowed out the savings of the Xuanniao Tribe for decades. As for war and raising war, it is all a big deal. The so-called "fighting war" means tearing down the east wall and filling the west wall. The final bitter fruit is still to be swallowed by yourself.

Although the territory of the Xuanniao Tribe has more than doubled and the number of slaves has increased by hundreds of thousands, its production capacity has been regressed for decades. In desperation, Chiyou had to stop the army. After the war, the Xuanniao Tribe suffered heavy losses, and the Youxiong Tribe Alliance was even worse. Both sides needed time to recuperate.

After all, at this time Chi You was not the emperor of the feudal dynasty. He had no supreme power. He was elected by tribal citizens and was subject to supervision by the Presbyterian Church and could not act arbitrarily.

Chen Kan's only role in this war is the bystander. Chen Kan watched the first real war in Chinese history from the beginning to the end without any action.

Although the battle ended, Chiyou's reputation also spread in the Chinese region, and he was called the "Master of War" and the God of War.

This time, the end was just a break in the first half, and the second half was as tragic as it was. This time, Chi You learned from the lessons he learned from the last time and attracted some tribes to surrender.

The final result was that the winner was still not decided. This time the problem occurred on the Xuanniao Tribe. The Baiyue Tribe in the south invaded north, which was a tribe originating from the southern mountainous areas.

Their invasion in the north was not to compete for territory, but to seize materials and slaves. The strategy was also very simple. Just after robbing them, Chi You had no choice but to retreat and turn the troops to fight these "bandits". Faced with these guerrilla experts who were familiar with the mountains, Chi You had no special good way. Although he won several games, he was constantly destroyed.

After Chi You abdicated, the Xuanniao Tribe and the Youxiong Tribe reached a consensus and formed an alliance to completely end the war.

When the alliance was established, the first thing was to establish a new totem. Finally, it was decided to select some representative parts from the more powerful tribal totems in the alliance to form a new totem, which is the "dragon".

Chen Kan also made a move about this totem. Originally, the Xuanniao Tribe wanted to draw a pair of wings in this new totem, because the most obvious feature of the bird is a pair of wings, and other tribes had no objection, because the Xuanniao Tribe is the most powerful, this is what it should be.

But after Chen Kan learned about this, he immediately rejected the plan and finally turned his wings into claws. Otherwise, he would have thought that it would be a symbol of Chinese civilization in the future - dragons, with a pair of wings, and the picture would not be too beautiful, and Chen Kan said he could not accept it.

No one objected to this, the Xuanniao Tribe had no objection, and the other tribes had no objection. In the end, the dragon had feet and claws were also a powerful tool for bird attacks, and could also be used to symbolize the powerful combat power of the Xuanniao Tribe.
