After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 31

There are dozens of Shanyue tribes, large and small, in the territory. Among them, there are three relatively powerful ones, namely the Li, Fang and Jianyue tribes.

Shanyue is the name given to them by the court of the Yue Kingdom. In fact, the composition of each tribe is very complicated. There are local aborigines, and there are also people of all kinds who escaped from the war or other reasons. They usually live by hunting and picking like the Han people. I have seen people engaged in farming, and most of them are from Torida and the like.

The folk customs are relatively tough, but the weapons are extremely simple, and the encirclement and suppression against the Yue Kingdom is mainly based on sneak attacks, and it is impossible to compete head-on.

"Then start from the Li tribe first." Meng Di said slowly, the first song got a lot of weapons and arrows from Kuaiji City, the combat power is not weaker than the elite of the Yue Kingdom, naturally start with the most powerful tribe first, you can Shocked many small tribes.

"My lord" Han Qu was a little hesitant. After what happened last time, even if he was invited to participate in the military meeting, he didn't dare to speak out.

"But it doesn't matter."

"My lord, I heard that there is a swordsman with high martial arts skills from the Li tribe, who has gained the upper hand in battles with other tribes in recent years."

Tribes also often fought endlessly over water sources, prey, or ownership of bird fields.In the past few years, the Li tribe has faint signs of becoming the leader of all the tribes, which is why Mengdi was chosen first.

"Swordsman? Are there swords in the tribe?" Jing He grinned beside him.

Han Qu actually didn't know much about it, I just heard from people in the tribe that this person was a woman who claimed to be a swordsman.It is said that the leader of the Fanghe Jianyue tribe was defeated with only a dead branch.Han Qu himself didn't believe it either.

In the past few days, everyone has learned about the various tribes. Naturally, they know that high-end weapons like swords are difficult to obtain, let alone become so-called swordsmen.

After all, not many people here have heard of the title of swordsman. Only Father Jing knew that there were people with such superb swordsmanship in some vassal states when he was traveling as a young man, and he told the villagers as a story.

After the villagers of the Jing family were picked up, they led everyone to fish everywhere, harvested a lot, and dug a lot of fish ponds. At least this year, there will not be a large number of starvation deaths. This is also the confidence that Meng Di dared to send troops at this time.

Father Jing was appointed as Han Qu's deputy and also participated in the military council.

Everyone turned their eyes to Dad.

The old man blushed, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't listen to Li'er's nonsense, I have never seen it, but I heard that there are many people with excellent swordsmanship in Qi State who are called swordsmen, and some are even valued by the monarch."

Qi country?Where is Qi?It's getting farther and farther.

Meng Di coughed lightly, okay, that's it.

The leader of the Li tribe is called Li, not only him, but every leader is called Li.

I am very unhappy today.

"A bunch of trash!" He slammed the half-eaten wild boar leg at the clansman kneeling in front of him.

"Your Majesty, calm down." His confidantes came over to persuade him, Li liked that everyone called him the King instead of the leader.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"My lord, there are so many people in the Fanghe Jianyue tribe, we can't grab them."

It turned out that the Fang tribe had surrounded a large group of wild hogs these days, and Li looked jealous and sent people to snatch them.

Unexpectedly, the Fang Tribe was already prepared, and joined forces with the Jianyue Tribe to beat up the people sent away with bruised noses and swollen faces and drove them back.

"My lord, why don't you ask that one to take action?"

Li was even angrier, and kicked the men who offered the advice to the ground, "When Miss Su'er is invited, the wild boar will have been transported back long ago."

In fact, he knew in his heart that there were only three chances to make a move in total, and he had already used it twice, so how could he be willing to waste the last time on a few wild hogs?
Miss Su'er came here three years ago.

Li remembers very clearly that at that time, a white-clothed man floated over, broke a bamboo branch at random, and knocked away the warriors of the clan one by one.

Just when Li was dumbfounded and thought he couldn't escape, the person who came said that he was here to repay his kindness.

He repaid the favor of the leader of the previous generation. Li's predecessor was an irresponsible leader who did not stay in the tribe and traveled all day down the mountain, saying that he wanted to find a way to make the tribe stronger.

Li took the opportunity to snatch the position of tribal leader and proclaimed himself king.

It was known from the population that it was probably this idle predecessor who accidentally saved her father, so he came to repay his favor after he was successful in his studies.

"Yes, I am Li." Li laughed triumphantly.

So there was a three-year agreement, and within three years, this Su'er girl made three moves for Li.

The fly in the ointment is that Miss Su'er never hurt anyone, she only defeated the leaders of Fang tribe and Jianyue tribe.

There is only one time left, Li thought regretfully.He doesn't have too many ideals, and now all tribes, big and small, have shown awe of him, which is enough to satisfy him.

As for annexing the Fang tribe and the Jianyue tribe, he didn't even think about it. After all, everyone's strength is similar, so he didn't feel much regret that he didn't take advantage this time.

The underling who was kicked instead of being flattered felt unwilling, rolled his eyes, and leaned over and whispered: "My lord, I heard that the Han clan got a lot of rice."

"how many?"

"Many, too many can't be put in the city, so they are all transported to the riverside and hidden."

Li's small eyes were shining brightly, and he was a bit hesitant to go to Gumi city to grab food, as in the past, several tribes would unite.

As for outside the city, if you can grab it, you will grab it, if you can't grab it, you will run away, what's the big deal?

After making up his mind, Li glanced at the unfinished wild boar meat with some regret, and ordered everyone in the tribe to dispatch together.

"Everyone?" The men were surprised.

"Yes, this time I will grab all the food, and I will learn how to make wine like the people in the city. Is it called the brewing bar?"

"Yes, the people who snatched it last time were talking about brewing wine. It's really a good thing, but it's a pity that they finished drinking." The side has already started to drool.

There is quite a bit of food left in the nearest tribe, and I started to think about my body when I was full.

There are more than [-] people in the tribe, except for the old, young, women and children, less than [-] people can actually go out, most of them are armed with bamboo spears and sticks, and only a hundred people have bamboo bows and arrows.

To be on the safe side, send someone to find Miss Su'er before departure.As for the people of the Han clan, Li felt a little disdainful, for actually taking refuge in the court of the Yue Kingdom, the Shanyue who entered the city was not a good Shanyue.

Besides, it is said that the place where the food is stored is far away from the Han tribe, and by the time the people gather to rush over, he will have disappeared long ago.

Along the way, the more he thought about it, the happier he was, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring over the unfinished wild boar meat, and chewed it in large mouths under the eyes of everyone. It would be even better if there was some wine.

The place where the food is stored is the iron mine that Ganying found.There is a deep valley beside the beach, with smooth cliffs on both sides.

Baskets and baskets of grain were being brought in continuously. The valley was full of trees, and there was only one narrow exit. It was indeed a good place to store grain. The busy Han people were working in full swing, unaware that danger was approaching.
