Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 759 Another victory

"The Jinsha tribe lives near a golden sand river beach and makes a living by panning for gold. There are about 3,000 people in the tribe. They are rich but lack a sense of security. The surrounding tribes covet their wealth. If we can provide effective protection, they are very likely to submit to us."

"The last one is the Rock Castle tribe. The tribe's buildings are mainly solid rock castles with strong defenses. There are about 2,600 people in the tribe. They are tough and united. At present, they are cautious about us and are waiting for the situation to become clearer."

After the spies finished their report, Jia Changsheng fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Everyone, from the spies' report, these ten tribes have their own characteristics and needs. We need to formulate targeted strategies based on the situation of each tribe. Gongjin, you and the envoys will discuss carefully and prepare different arguments and cooperation plans for different tribes; Yuanzhi, integrate resources to see what practical help we can provide to each tribe; Xingba, strengthen vigilance to prevent the eight allied tribes from taking the opportunity to cause trouble when we come into contact with the tribes."

Everyone took orders, and an operation to conquer the ten tribes officially began after learning the details of the situation.

After learning about the situation of the ten tribes in detail, Jia Changsheng knew that he had to take every step carefully to conquer the tribes. After careful consideration, he decided to adopt the strategy of defeating them one by one, starting with the Aries Tribe. So he once again summoned Zhou Yu, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and other counselors and generals to discuss how to conquer the Aries Tribe in the tent.

The candlelight flickered in the tent. Jia Changsheng looked calm and spoke first: "Everyone, we have a thorough understanding of the situation of each tribe. After weighing the pros and cons, we decided to conquer the Aries tribe first. Everyone, please express your opinions and tell us how to proceed."

Zhou Yu's eyes were firm as he responded first: "My Lord, the Aries tribe is facing a dilemma of limited pasture resources due to population growth. We can start from here and send envoys to their leaders to show them that we can provide them with plans for pasture expansion, such as guiding them to open new pastures, or teaching them reasonable rotational grazing methods to improve the utilization rate of existing pastures. At the same time, we can show them our advanced animal husbandry technology so that they can see the tangible benefits of joining us."

Xu Shu nodded in agreement and added, "Gongjin is right. In addition, we need to emphasize that after we surrender, we can not only solve their resource problems, but also ensure the safety of the tribe. The Baiyang tribe has weak defenses. If other tribes around them covet their pastures, our army can provide shelter. But when contacting them, we must pay attention to the methods and methods, and not act too hastily, so as not to cause their resentment."

Pang Tong stroked his beard and said after thinking for a moment: "What you said is true. However, we also need to consider that although the Aries tribe is facing difficulties, they don't know us yet and are bound to have doubts. We can first let the friendly tribes that have exchanges with the Aries tribe act as a matchmaker to create a relatively friendly and trusting communication environment for our envoys. At the same time, during the communication process, the envoys should focus on demonstrating the lord's benevolence and wisdom, as well as the strength and reliability of our forces."

After hearing this, Jia Changsheng agreed deeply and said, "What Gongjin, Yuanzhi, and Shiyuan said hits the nail on the head. Let's act according to this plan. Gongjin, you are responsible for selecting an envoy who is eloquent and familiar with animal husbandry, and forming an envoy to go to the Aries Tribe. Make sure that the envoy understands the details of the pasture expansion and breeding technology solutions we can provide, and convey them clearly and accurately to the leader of the Aries Tribe."

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Don't worry, my lord. I will carefully select the envoys and ensure that the mission is accomplished."

Jia Changsheng looked at Xu Shu again: "Yuanzhi, you should prepare a detailed security plan, including the defensive deployment of our army around the Aries Tribe, and specific measures to deal with unexpected security incidents. Let the Aries Tribe know that after joining us, they will have nothing to worry about."

Xu Shu bowed and said, "My Lord, I will do it immediately and make a thorough and detailed plan."

Jia Changsheng then said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, you should arrange the matchmaking properly and make sure to choose a reliable and friendly tribe. At the same time, continue to pay close attention to the movements of other tribes to prevent the eight allied tribes from interfering and disrupting our contact with the Aries Tribe."

Pang Tong replied: "Don't worry, my lord. I will make sure everything is perfect."

At this time, Gan Ning stepped forward and said in a muffled voice: "My lord, what if the Aries tribe refuses our kindness and refuses our kindness? I will lead a team of soldiers to wait nearby. I will teach them a lesson and maybe they will behave themselves."

Jia Changsheng smiled and said, "Xingba, force is the worst option. The Aries tribe just doesn't understand us at the moment, they are not hostile to us. We must impress them with sincerity and practical benefits, so that they will willingly submit. However, you can lead a team of people to be on guard in secret, just in case, but you must not act on your own, and follow orders."

Gan Ning scratched his head and said, "Okay, my lord, I will listen to you. But if they really dare to harm the envoy, I will not be polite."

Jia Changsheng also reminded everyone: "This time, conquering the Aries tribe is the key first step in our plan to defeat them one by one. Everyone must act cautiously and do every step to perfection. In the process of contacting the Aries tribe, we must fully demonstrate our strength and sincerity, respect their customs and traditions, and let them feel that we are sincerely helping them."

Everyone responded in unison: "We will obey the Lord's orders!"

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and took action according to Jia Changsheng's deployment. Zhou Yu began to carefully select the envoys from among the many counselors and trained them in detail; Xu Shu worked hard at his desk to carefully formulate a security plan; Pang Tong was busy contacting friendly tribes and arranging matchmaking matters; Gan Ning returned to the camp, selected elite soldiers, and prepared to be secretly on guard. Jia Changsheng himself also paid close attention to the progress of various preparations, hoping that the plan to conquer the Aries tribe could be smoothly promoted and set a good start for the subsequent conquest of other tribes.

Jia Changsheng discussed it with everyone, and all the teams quickly took action according to the plan.

After careful consideration and selection, Zhou Yu chose Li An, a counselor, as the envoy to the Aries Tribe. Li An was not only eloquent, but also well-versed in animal husbandry. Zhou Yu called Li An to his side and explained the task to him in detail: "Li An, this mission to the Aries Tribe is a heavy responsibility. You must clearly and accurately convey our sincerity and capabilities to them. Not only should you introduce the ranch expansion and breeding technology plans in detail, but you should also let them truly feel the many benefits of joining us." Li An looked serious and clasped his fists in response: "Don't worry, sir, Anding will not fail in his mission." Zhou Yu handed over the various technical materials and cooperation plans he had prepared to Li An, and reminded him: "You must be familiar with these materials and respond flexibly according to the reactions and questions of the tribal leaders."

At the same time, Xu Shu was concentrating on making a security plan. He sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes wrote furiously, and planned in detail the army's defense deployment around the Aries Tribe. He imagined a variety of possible emergency security incidents and formulated specific response measures for each situation. "If other tribes attack, we can set up an ambush here and cut off their retreat..." Xu Shu muttered to himself while marking key locations on the map.

Pang Tong actively contacted the friendly tribes that had exchanges with the Aries Tribe. He went there in person and had a sincere conversation with the leader of the friendly tribe: "This matter will benefit all parties. If we can help the Aries Tribe to submit to Lord Jia Changsheng, everyone will be able to develop safely and share prosperity in this land in the future." The leader of the friendly tribe readily agreed and immediately arranged for a reliable person to go to the Aries Tribe to convey Jia Changsheng's willingness to negotiate cooperation with them in a friendly manner.

Gan Ning returned to the camp and quickly selected 500 elite soldiers. These soldiers were all strong and experienced. "Brothers, although this mission does not involve direct combat, the responsibility is equally heavy. We need to be on guard in secret to ensure the safety of the envoy. If there is any disturbance, we must report it in time and wait for orders to act." Gan Ning gave a loud speech, and the soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

After everything was ready, Li An led the delegation on the journey to the Aries tribe. The delegation brought with them various advanced animal husbandry tool models, atlases recording breeding techniques, and some precious gifts. Along the way, Li An repeatedly read the materials and kept rehearsing the scene of talking with the leader of the Aries tribe.

A few days later, the delegation arrived at the Aries Tribe. The guard at the entrance of the tribe stopped them vigilantly, and Li An hurried forward to explain his purpose: "We are entrusted by Lord Jia Changsheng to discuss cooperation with your tribe and solve the pasture resource problem for your tribe." Upon hearing this, the guard hurried to inform the leader.

Soon, the guards came back and led the delegation into the tribe. The leader of the Aries tribe had already been waiting in front of the tent in the center of the tribe. Li An stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Dear leader, I have heard of your tribe for a long time. Lord Jia Changsheng is deeply concerned about the plight of your tribe and has specially ordered me to come here to offer some plans that may help your tribe."

After that, Li An signaled his attendant to display the model of advanced animal husbandry tools, and explained in detail its usage and advantages: "This tool can greatly improve the efficiency of grass harvesting and save manpower." Then, he unfolded the atlas and explained the reasonable rotational grazing and improved breeding techniques: "Such rotational grazing can make full use of pasture resources and ensure the continuous growth of grass. And this improved breeding technology can make the sheep flock stronger and increase the reproduction rate."

The leader of the Aries tribe listened carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes from time to time, but he still had doubts: "Why are you helping us? What do you want to achieve by going to such great lengths?"

Li An smiled and responded: "Lord Jia Changsheng has great ambitions and wants all the tribes on this land to prosper. After your tribe submits, not only will the resource problem be solved, but Lord Jia Changsheng will also send troops to protect the safety of your tribe from invasion by other tribes."

At this time, Gan Ning, who was on guard secretly, received a report from a spy that a small group of unidentified people were moving towards the Baiyang tribe. Gan Ning immediately became alert and whispered, "Brothers, stay alert and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time." While paying close attention to the movements of this group, he sent someone to quickly pass the news to Jia Changsheng.

After receiving the news, Jia Changsheng immediately called everyone together to discuss: "It seems that the eight united tribes have indeed made some moves to disrupt our negotiations with the Aries Tribe. We must respond as soon as possible to ensure the safety of Li An and his team and the smooth progress of the negotiations."

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, we can send an army to pretend to pass by to intimidate this unknown group and make them dare not act rashly. At the same time, notify Li An to speed up the negotiation and try to convince the leader of the Aries tribe as soon as possible."

Jia Changsheng nodded in agreement: "Let's do it. Arrange the troops to set out immediately, and send a pigeon to Li An to inform him of the current situation and let him act accordingly."

After receiving the news, Li An knew that time was running out. He sincerely said to the leader of the Aries tribe: "Leader, the situation is complicated now. If your tribe cooperates with us at this time, it will not only solve its own difficulties, but also gain strong protection. The eight united tribes tried to stop us from cooperating, which shows that they are afraid of our unity. Please don't miss this opportunity."

The leader of the Aries tribe weighed the pros and cons and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I believe you. I am willing to lead the tribe to submit to Lord Jia Changsheng."

Li An was overjoyed and said, "Chief, you are wise! Lord Jia Changsheng will definitely live up to your tribe's trust."

At the same time, the army pretending to be passing by successfully intimidated the unknown team and made it retreat quietly. Jia Changsheng was pleased to hear the news of the Baiyang tribe's surrender. The success of this operation laid a solid foundation for his plan to conquer other tribes one by one.

After Jia Changsheng learned the good news of the Aries tribe's surrender, he decided to hold a grand celebratory banquet in the city. On the one hand, it was to celebrate the joining of the Aries tribe and show his importance to them; on the other hand, it was also to take this opportunity to let the top leaders of the Aries tribe better understand their own power and enhance mutual trust and unity.

Jia Changsheng immediately arranged for people to prepare for the banquet. The city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the soldiers were busy cleaning the streets and setting up the venue. In the banquet hall, there were large tables filled with rich food, including fresh fish, golden roasted meat, various exquisite cakes, and fine wine shipped from afar. Colorful silks were hung all around, and the walls were decorated with exquisite murals, showing the development process and brilliant achievements of Jia Changsheng's power.

After everything was ready, Jia Changsheng sent an envoy to respectfully invite the leaders of the Aries tribe to a banquet. The leader of the Aries tribe, along with several elders and important warriors, happily went. Along the way, they looked at the well-organized cities and well-trained soldiers within Jia Changsheng's sphere of influence, and they couldn't help but look forward to future cooperation.
