Outsiders have no way of knowing the great changes in the business community in northern Hubei, so we will not mention them for now.
Under the Tianxue Mountain, the weather is obviously approaching June, but this year's abnormal climate has still made the place lose the coldness of the past. Now it has a bit of a spring and autumn scene outside the grassland.
Shan Mancheng stood beside a stream formed from top to bottom at the foot of the mountain, with one hand behind his back, looking up at the mountain top that towered into the clouds, with deep eyes.
They came here three days ago and had just settled hundreds of thousands of tribesmen.
The population of the entire Jiayu tribe is actually less than 200,000. In the past few years, he used profits to bind the scattered tribes on the grassland with the Jiayu tribe. However, because of the Tuoyu tribe's obstruction, many small tribes have been exposed in the past two years. Secretly expressed dissatisfaction with him.
Five fingers have different lengths, and everyone will be different from each other. In such an environment, it is absolutely impossible to think of a bowl of water being equal.
This allowed the Tuoyu tribe to seize the loophole, and since last year they have encouraged those warlike small tribes to attack northern Hubei.
Last year, it happened to be the time when Shan Mancheng was traveling to Dajin. There were also traitors among the wizards of the Jiayu tribe. They conspired with the Tuoyu tribe and almost killed Eciuge.
Fortunately, he later calmed down the civil strife in time, but the momentum and strength of the Jiayu clan were also greatly damaged, making it even less likely for him to agree to the proposal to use war to achieve his goals.
Until this widespread drought, Shan Mancheng lobbied all major tribes to go to Tianxue Mountain, but only the Jiayu tribe and a few small tribes were willing to follow him. Others did not believe that this drought would be so serious that it was irreversible.
Seeing the water sources on the grassland disappearing day by day, Shan Mancheng had no choice but to give up his current ambition to integrate the grassland tribes, and immediately took the Jiayu tribe and several small tribes who were willing to follow him to Tianxue Mountain.
But when he got here, he discovered that other ethnic groups further north had already occupied the best position here.
During droughts, water resources are the lifeblood. The two sides are very different in terms of language and appearance. Naturally, no one can give in to the other, and a war is about to break out.
The Jiayu tribe paid a bloody price to drive those people away, but they still underestimated the seriousness of the drought. In just two days, half of the snow water accumulated on the ground disappeared.
"Chengji, everything is ready. Chengtaiji asks you to go back and preside over the heaven-sacrifice ceremony." Shan Mancheng's close guard Wa Tuqi came behind him, folded his arms and bent down and said respectfully.
Shan Mancheng turned around, nodded and asked, "Has Tasang set off?"
"He already left just now, but the weather is bad now, so we can't tell when he will be able to arrive in northern Hubei." When Wa Tucci said this, he suddenly raised his head and asked in confusion, "Why did Chengji let Tasang go to northern Hubei to deliver the message?"
The general in northern Hubei is a ruthless man that even the warriors of the Jiayu tribe cannot defeat. Even if the previous group of Lokikohan people went to northern Hubei, they would not be able to cause any serious harm. Chengji helped the Jin people like this. , I am afraid that some people in the clan will be dissatisfied.
"Watu Ci," Shan Mancheng looked at him calmly, "Do you think it is better for a person to have more friends or more enemies?"
Wa Tuqi was stunned and replied subconsciously: "Of course it's good to have many friends."
"You Chengtaiji is from Dajin. Do you think she wants me to be an enemy or a friend of Dajin?" Shan Mancheng asked again.
Wa Tuci did not hesitate this time, "Chengtaiji said that the Jiayu clan is connected to the Great Jin, and as long as she is here, we will not be allowed to be enemies of the Great Jin."
Shan Mancheng smiled, "I have always felt that Mrs. Ecige was kind in the past, but now I am grateful to her for teaching me like that. Otherwise, the Jiayu clan will have no way out."
