Chapter Negotiations
Aniu sent troops to Youzhou to help the Talan tribe. He just hoped to maintain a good relationship with the Talan tribe. For Fengxiang, the Talan tribe represents a large number of top-grade Wuhuan war horses. Without the Talan tribe, it is still unknown whether the fate between Fengxiang City and the Mi clan in Donghai can continue.
During the trip to Youzhou, Fengxiang helped the Wuhuan Alliance defeat the powerful Gongsun Zan and won the trust and friendship of dozens of Wuhuan tribes. The three thousand war horses were already an amazing wealth. However, compared with the long-term trade between the three thousand top-grade Wuhuan war horses, it was obviously not enough to see. The opening of the market for most Wuhuan tribes in one fell swoop was Fengxiang's biggest gain.
The profit of sending troops to Youzhou has long exceeded Aniu's expectations. Aniu is somewhat proud, "I made a profit, this time I've made a fortune!"
In the duel with the Baima Yicong, the Flying Wing Camp maintained zero deaths with good tactical arrangements. While obtaining these benefits, Feng Xiang did not pay any price in the battle. It can be said that in Feng Xiang's past real swords and guns, such situations have never happened.
And now, Lord Fdun's words made Aniu feel like he was falling into clouds.
Furton looked around and repeated word by word, "The Taran tribe hopes to join Fengxiang City!"
A Niu was finally convinced that he had heard nothing wrong.
"Does Lord Furton, the leader of the Taran tribe, request to join Fengxiang?"
Although it was not clear why the Taran tribe made such a decision and was full of question marks in his mind, such temptation was not something A Niu could resist, so he chose to accept it without hesitation.
A national system announcement rang out.
"Dingdong. Zheng Aniu, the lord of Fengxiang City, Qi County, Qingzhou, is well-known. The Talan tribe of Wuhuan is willing to rely on it and follow it. The Talan tribe has become an affiliated force in Fengxiang City. Fengxiang City can recruit level 62 Wuhuan cavalry from then on. Congratulations to Zheng Aniu players!"
Fengxiang City finally successfully conquered the original NPC power of a system!
This news made the players' discussions about Fengxiang City once again heated up. Fengxiang was not the first player to conquer the original NPC power. Before that, the powerful vacuum cleaner of the original Fuxing City had successfully completed this feat on Fuluo.
However, when Fuxing City was besieged by the Black Mountain Army, the Xiongnu cavalry, who had to put down their stature and live under others in order to survive, did not show the bravery of the Xiongnu. They attacked and moved forward. However, when they broke through the siege and fled the battlefield, they also refused to look back, accelerating the defeat of Fuxing City.
Therefore, in fact, Fengxiang City is now the only territory that has conquered the original NPC forces.
After the announcement, many players immediately began to query the information of the Taran tribe.
"Well, a large tribe with more than 30,000 people. One of the three major tribes of Wuhuan has a very high value."
"The Hun cavalry and the Wuhuan cavalry are at the same level as the 62nd level, and their combat effectiveness should be not much different. Even if there are many elderly, weak, women and children in such a tribe, it should still be possible to form a cavalry unit of ten thousand people, at least it is much stronger than the Hun cavalry of Vroud."
"Yes, the Taran tribe is the entire tribe who surrenders to them. Their original livestock, cattle and sheep will also be marked as Fengxiang City. Aniu has made a lot of money."
"Hey, perverted people are always so perverted. Don't mention the three words Zheng Aniu in front of me from now on." A player who is determined to become a strong lord once again felt what an insurmountable gap is.
The lord of Jiangyi City who was returning from Peking to Liaodong, Wushang Xiaoma Ge. After learning about this system announcement, she just smiled faintly. She was confused when she was distant, "Are you stupid? Fengxiang City has just conquered an NPC force, the Talan tribe, one of the three major tribes of Wuhuan!"
"I know."
"Then you still react like this?"
Brother Wushu Xiaoma smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think I should do? He scolded the heavens and scolded the unfairness of the heavens, or cursed Zheng Aniu Le had a sudden heart attack when he was sad, or wished that Qi County, Qingzhou, where Fengxiang City was located, to suffer a devastating natural disaster?"
She was stunned and couldn't speak for a while. However, she now understood that Wushu Xiaoma was not touched by the matter at all. She said that Xiaoma didn't mind at all. In any case, the strength shown by Jiang Yicheng has been recognized by players, and Jiang Yicheng is recognized as the strongest territory in Hebei.
The No. 1 territory of Hebei cannot satisfy Xiaoma. He knew that if Aniu's Fengxiang City was also in Hebei, this title would not fall on Jiang Yicheng!
Hebei’s number one does not mean the country’s number one!
The prefect of Peking Palace met A Niu unexpectedly. In fact, the Lord of Jiangyi has a personal feeling about A Niu. But Wushu Xiaoma, who has always pursued perfection, certainly hopes that Jiangyi City can go further. Therefore, Jiangyi City has long regarded Fengxiang City as a natural imaginary enemy, and hopes to be the strongest person no matter what he does. That is Xiaoma's character.
Jiang Yicheng's strength has improved very quickly. In the nearly two months after A Niu disappeared (going to sea), Wushu Xiaoma Ge once thought that the powerful Fengxiang City was not unsurpassed. However, after a few actions after a certain city lord returned to the territory, Xiaoma suddenly discovered that the gap between the two territories was not only not narrowed, but was in a trend of getting farther and farther away!
In the camp mission that just ended, Jiang Yicheng's outstanding performance once made Xiaoma very excited, but the news that Fengxiang conquered the Taran tribe gave him a blow, "He is still so powerful..."
The distant ones noticed the unhappiness of the pony. The pony, who has always been optimistic, was rarely depressed, which made the distant ones a little worried. At this time, the pony needs to regain confidence.
"We just gained a lot of benefits from the camp missions between Gongsun Zan and the Wuhuan people. Although we failed to get much reward from the camp missions, we successfully formed a relationship with Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei. If we included Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong who had established diplomatic relations with us, the strength of Jiangyi City may not be much worse than that of Fengxiang City.
Don’t forget that you started later than A Niu. We brothers are all proud of you for being able to achieve such a high achievement in such a short period of time!”
Xiao Ma turned her head and looked at her far away. The touching in her expression was clearly visible. She clenched her fists hard and said with a smile: "Yes, we started late, so we can't hurry up. Besides, no matter what kind of plane a monster like Zheng Aniu created, we should not be surprised. If the first person among the lords has no outstanding features, it would be strange."
When she was far away, she tried every means to help Xiaoma recover her confidence, A Niu was also confused. After carefully reading the system announcement several times, a city lord finally determined a fact: she did not get the "Dianjiangtai Building Drawings"!
"The Fuxing City was reclaimed by the system after Vrool left the special construction site. It should be issued to the second territory to conquer the original NPC power. Is that the end?"
Annook suddenly felt that he had received serious unfair treatment and sighed to the sky, "Others think I have taken advantage of it again, but in fact... Alas, if you say too much, you will cry."
Of course, from beginning to end, the crystal crocodile tears of a city lord did not fall. Since A Niu came to his senses, the smile on his face has never disappeared.
No matter who gets surrendered by the original NPC power, it is a very pleasant thing.
When A Niu learned in detail about the specific situation of the Taran tribe, it became even more pleasant.
Under the leadership of Lord Ftton, the Taran tribe gradually grew from a medium-sized tribe to one of the three major tribes of Wuhuan, with strong strength. After starting trade cooperation with Fengxiang, the Taran tribe exchanged a large amount of food, weapons and other goods from the Central Plains with war horses, and the basic lives of the tribesmen were better guaranteed, and the tribe's strength was further improved. At present, the population of the Taran tribe ranks second among all tribes.
Urban-level territories have the opportunity to subdue the original NPC forces, and the biggest restriction is the population of the territory. "The population of the subdued NPC forces must not be higher than the total population of the territory" is a hard indicator. The existence of this indicator makes the lord players' hope of subdueing the NPC forces is extremely slim, and at least it can cut off the plans to subdue the princes who are separatist.
Even a county magistrate like Liu Bei has a population of not comparable to a lord player territory. Strong people with one county, one state, or even several states naturally don’t have to expect.
The population of the Taran tribe is 31,286, far lower than the existing population in Fengxiang City, and meets the basic requirements of the lord players to conquer the original NPC forces.
Among the more than 30,000 people of the tribe, there are less than 7,000 real young and middle-aged soldiers. Most of them are in Youbeiping County, and the soldiers only account for more than one-fifth of the total population. This number surprised A Niu.
In response, Zalu explained: "Our tribe originally had more than 12,000 warriors, but it gradually decreased in previous wars. The Liaodong army invaded the Wuhuan grassland the year before yesterday, and the war with the Beiping army this time caused us to lose many warriors. Brother Aniu... The city lord also knew that the Talan tribe is one of the three major tribes of Wuhuan. When the war that concerns the entire nation began, we had no choice."
Zaru obviously has not fully adapted to the fact that the Taran tribe has been incorporated into Fengxiang City. In the past, Fengxiang and the Taran tribe were equal trading partners, and he had a close personal relationship with the Aniu brothers. But now, the Taran tribe has become a vassal of Fengxiang, and its subordinate forces have a high degree of autonomy, but it is obviously a bit out of place to call brothers and brothers with the lord.
This is why Zaru changed his words after "brothers".
A Niu smiled and patted Zaru on the shoulder and said, "By the relationship between Ju Yi and Rouran, the Taran tribe and Fengxiang City are a family. Now it's just a step further. The Zaru brothers don't have to be restrained. Do you want me to change my words to call you the "Young Clan Chief" in the future; there are also Lord Fudon and Elder Qianlu, two of whom are highly respected, and with the A Niu and Zaru brothers, you should call me my name directly in the future."
Zaru, who was generous by nature, did not refuse. Fdun and Ganluo looked at each other, and Fdun smiled and said, "Since Lord Aniu said this, we should obey it."
Furton and Ganluo, who had rich experience, still did not forget the etiquette they deserved. In any case, these two people refused to call the name of a certain city lord directly.
The news that the Talan tribe joined Fengxiang City was released in a national announcement situation. The adults of the tribes of Wuhuan were naturally known. It can be seen that the adults of these tribes were surprised.
It is obvious that Fdun did not tell anyone outside the tribe beforehand, including Lord Wuwang, that was the same. Wuwang's eyes were quite complicated, and he sighed, and finally came over and congratulated Aniu and Taran tribes with some masters of the tribe.
More tribal adults chose to watch coldly. Perhaps in their opinion, one of the three most powerful tribes in Wuhuan, openly surrendering to a Han lord player, is definitely a shame for the Wuhuan people. Although the Talan tribe has spared no effort for the interests of the Wuhuan tribe before, Fengxiang City has just helped the Wuhuan people win a war, and it cannot change the essence of the problem at all.
They did not rush over and point at Furton's nose to scold him, which was already very considerate. Of course, in addition to Furton's prestige and contribution among the Wuhuan people, the strength of the Talan tribe and Fengxiang City was also an important reason why they chose to remain silent.
Any nation has radical nationalists.
A Niu looked at all this lightly, and saw that Fdun and others were a little embarrassed. A Niu smiled and said, "There are so many people here, so let's find a quiet place to chat."
At the camp of the Taran Tribe, Aniu understood why Fton made this decision.
The Wuhuan tribe wandering on the grasslands did not live as freely as the Han people imagined. In their opinion, living by pursuing water and grass is not a kind of "romance", but a need for survival. In fact, for most nomadic peoples, the pressure of survival is much heavier than that of the Han people.
The prey of the weak is the eternal law of nature. The Wuhuan people living on the grassland need to deal with countless challenges. The wolves on the grassland are very fierce, but the threat of "humans" is a hundred times more terrifying than that of the wild beasts in nature.
In order to compete for the rich aquatic plants and to gain more population and livestock to strengthen their tribes, the vast grasslands may become battlefields everywhere. Conquests are constantly between different ethnic groups.
The conflict between the Wuhuan and the Xianbei in the eastern part was the most intense; the Fuyu people who were engaged in agriculture and were looted by nomadic peoples many times would not refuse to occasionally play a robber; the troops of some Han princes showed strong enterprising spirit in expanding territory; in addition, some Qiang and Hu people outside Bingzhou would occasionally send some "representatives" to appear on the Wuhuan grassland...
The hatred and interests between different ethnic groups continue to deepen in wars. After "aggression" and "anti-aggression", "plundering" and "anti-plundering", it is difficult to explain clearly who represents "justice". The only thing left is killing, and to judge the truth by force, which side is on.
Many of the warriors of the Taran tribe died in these wars.
Except for the enemy, there are also differences between different tribes of the same ethnic group.
In order to maintain their advantages or become stronger, most powerful tribes have embarked on the road of external annexation, defeating weak tribes and taking their population and livestock into their pockets; relatively weak tribes have to fight back in order to protect themselves, and they need to defeat weaker or equivalent opponents to enhance their strength, thereby improving their ability to protect themselves.
The Taran tribe could have grown in this way, but unfortunately, Lord Furton's wisdom may not be less than his weight, but he is definitely not a truly talented person. He is not cruel enough. Unless he takes the initiative to join, the Taran tribe will not force other tribes to join, "Why should the Wuhuan people make things difficult for the Wuhuan people?"
However, once the Wuhuan grassland is invaded by alien races, the warriors of the Talan tribe will always rush out without hesitation.
Such a strategy has a great impact on the Taran tribe, especially the frequent wars in the past two years, which has caused the Taran tribe to suffer significant losses. Some Wuhuan tribes were extremely active during the civil war and their indifferent attitude of disappearing during the foreign war made Fudu even more heartbroken.
The participation of many Wuhuan tribes in this battle with the Beiping Army was unprecedented in many years, and it was difficult to replicate. Fudon wanted to know how many tribes fought for the dignity of the Wuhuan people, and how many were fought for the interests. Without teaching the Beiping Army a lesson, where would the caravans of various Wuhuan tribes be safe in the future?
"You can't continue like this!"
Learning from the pain, after several discussions among several core figures in the clan, the Talan tribe developed the intention to retreat. The Talan tribe was unable to make a comeback, so he simply stayed away from the Wuhuan grassland and found a safe place to start a new life.
The powerful and wealthy Fengxiang City is obviously an excellent choice. The young clan leader Zhalu and the elder Qianluo both praised a city lord and said good things about Fengxiang on the same side. Long before the death of the Peking opera, the Taran tribe had actually had such an idea, because the cautious Fduan had never been to Fengxiang and had never met with A Niu, hoping to observe for another year or two.
The war between the Wuhuan people and the Beiping army shortened this process.
During the long confrontation in the early stage, only the Talan tribes in the Wuhuan tribe were the clan leader, and the young tribe leaders joined forces to fight, and their enthusiasm for this war was judged immediately. The tribes were in a mess, and it was not improved until the situation of the Wuhuan coalition deteriorated to the point where it was impossible to increase. The Wuhuan tribes paid the price of tens of thousands of warriors killed for this.
Furton was extremely disappointed.
The wisdom shown by the Lord of Fengxiang City in this war, the extraordinary military talent of masked Xu Niu, and the brave performance of Feiyi Camp in the duel with Baima Yichi gave Fdun a preliminary understanding of the strength of Fengxiang City.
What really made Fudon decide was his concern for Gongsun Zan. Fudon understood that the Beiping Army would definitely retaliate against the Wuhuan tribes, and no tribe could resist the attack of the Beiping Army alone, which was exactly the same as when Gongsun Du of Liaodong attacked the Wuhuan grassland.
Although the Taran tribe is not necessarily so unlucky, Ftton doesn't want to take risks.
"Lord Aniu City, that's the case."
Fton did not hide anything about why the Taran tribe joined Fengxiang City. He knew that A Niu was not a fool, and this was not a shameful thing. Since he had decided to join Fengxiang, he did not want any discord to occur in the future.
A Niu stood up and solemnly extended his hand to Lord Ftton, "The Taran tribe was once one of Fengxiang's most important partners. Now it is like this and will not change in the future! The only problem I am worried about now is to find a satisfactory habitat for the Taran tribe. I will notify the territory later and build a new camp for you as quickly as possible."
A certain city lord understood that their arrival would make Fengxiang's strength go further. The most important thing is that the Talan tribe joins Fengxiang with great sincerity, and Rouran, and Ju Yi's relationship is not comparable to that of Fuluo's internship in Fuxing City.
Gan Luo smiled and said, "Lord Aniu City doesn't have to be so troublesome. When I was in Fengxiang City a few days ago, I accidentally discovered a good place, which is Heihu Ridge twenty-five miles south of Suruga Town, Jiulishan."
When he spoke, Gan Luo's face turned a little red. Heihuling was obviously not discovered by him "unintentionally", but the result of intentionality. He also knew that the night after leaving Suruga Town left Fengxiang City with no return.
A Niu was stunned and then laughed, "It's so good. Elder Ganluo's choice of place must be more suitable than those of us laymen."
Aniu did not look at the property list of the Taran tribe.
After the lord player conquers the original NPC power, the power will form a unit in the territory and will not occupy the quota of subordinate territories. The vassal forces accept the management of the territory, pay taxes to the territory on time, and even send troops to assist in the war when necessary, but in normal times they actually exist as highly ** forces, and their own property is protected.
Of course, the territory can also requisition materials from the vassal forces at any time, but that will reduce the satisfaction of the vassal forces with the territories, and the satisfaction will drop to a certain level, and the vassal forces will abandon it.
With Fengxiang City's strength, of course, there is no need to make any effort to grab wealth from the Taran tribe.
(Well, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now.
The cat himself did not expect that it would be possible to update the 6,000-word guarantee in April. So far, at least the creditworthiness of cats should still be full, so I would like to praise myself first.
Perhaps in everyone's opinion, 6,000 words of daily updates are nothing. Before the Spring Festival, the number of updates of cats was not worse than this, but after two months of laziness, I suddenly felt extremely hard and thought I could not hold on any longer. It can be seen from the update time.
I owe a chapter of three thousand words to the monthly ticket for an additional update, and 120 tickets, it is too late today and will be filled as soon as possible in the next few days.
Please give me a monthly ticket next month. I have few recommendations on the website recently. I hope that starting from the beginning of the month, there will be a place for this book on the classified monthly ticket list. Please everyone.) (To be continued,)
Chapter completed!
