However, seeing that the leaders of other tribes had no extra thoughts at this time, Song Xuan did not bring it up. After all, the Sheep Tribe was not very important here.
As a later tribe, it not only has a small number of people, but also has not developed much in the past few years. Although it is a few years earlier than Tengshe, it is far less important than Tengshe.
And like Teng Snake, they also shoulder the deep hatred, but the difference is that Teng Snake has gained prestige through this recent battle. All tribes are afraid of the powerful Wu Yu and don't want anyone to The tribe was lured here, but since Teng She was as powerful as him and could defend the tribe, they didn't have to worry too much.
After finally getting together, there was naturally singing and laughing, and the lively atmosphere continued until the moon was high in the sky before slowly dissipating.
Although we were camping outdoors, there was no wind in the valley, and there were so many bonfires, so it was not too cold.
Since most of the tribes came out by boat, the number of tents was quite sufficient, and at worst, two people could squeeze into one.
"Shuiyun, God's envoy, let's go first!"
The various tribes began to go back early in the morning. This time everyone was well prepared, so there was no need for Soaring Snake to make another trip like in the spring.
When they came, they prepared everything according to their abilities. Even though Teng She had a lot of good things, they were still very greedy, but in the end they still didn't make a move.
Song Xuan originally wanted to promote Teng She's weapons, but seeing that there wasn't much oil and water left after everyone changed the salt, he just briefly mentioned it and showed it to everyone during the chat later. Since it was on display, They are all conventional weapons, so the response is not particularly big, and I don’t know if anyone is interested.
In the eyes of other tribes, the Tengshe and Blackwater tribes were as good as one tribe, so they understood Song Xuan's not leaving early and thought that the two tribes were going back together.
"Ushikawa, remember the exchange next year!"
Before leaving, Song Xuan also reminded Niu He that although there were not many animals if they were really used as food, it would not be easy to catch them back. For the Niu tribe, there were only about ten at most. A daily ration, but it is still very important here in Song Xuan.
With these animals, the scale of breeding in the tribe will be quite good next year, so he has repeatedly warned them in the past two days, for fear that Niuhe would insist on not asking for food because of embarrassment.
It wasn't until Niu He reassured him again and again that Song Xuan felt relieved.
After the noise dispersed, Teng She also packed up and prepared to set off. Since there were not many things exchanged this year, it could only fit most of the boat. However, in order to spread the weight, Song Xuan still placed the seeds and stones evenly. On three boats.
"Shuiyun, what's going on with the Sheep Tribe?"
When leaving the valley, Song Xuan asked Shuiyun.
Although the Sheep Tribe is not as powerful as other tribes, it seems to Song Xuan to be a good target for unity.
Even Shuiyun and the others, after so many years of development, their hatred for Karasyu is no longer that deep. This time they joined Teng She and they had almost no intention of resisting Karasu. However, the Sheep Tribe was different. The life of Teng She was no worse than that of Teng She now, and she was reduced to a small tribe with only a dozen or twenty people. All of this was thanks to Wu Yu.
If life were better, it would still be like Soaring Snake. Although he always hates Karasuba in his heart, the current priority is to build a good tribe. As for the feud between the two sides, they can be put on hold for the time being, but the Sheep tribe is different. , and life is not good. Usually, hatred naturally accumulates.
If Teng She really wants to take action against Wuyu in the future, the Sheep Tribe will be easier to win over. Song Xuan is not arrogant enough to have the confidence to develop Teng She into as powerful as Wu Yu in a short period of time. Even if there is Not even with a bow and arrow.
Teng She's current situation is still more than defensive but not aggressive enough. It is not easy for Wu Yu to invade Teng She. Song Xuan is confident that he will not be at a disadvantage when facing an enemy three times his own. After all, Teng She's Weapons are concentrated here. Weapons that can attack from a distance can cause considerable damage. Moreover, all men, women, and children can be mobilized for defense. Even if more than a hundred people throw stones at the same time, they can kill and injure a large number of people. .
But it's completely different if he wants to attack other tribes. Although Song Xuan is not well versed in the art of war, Song Xuan also knows the classic sayings that are widely circulated such as "encircle ten times" and "attack five times", let alone ten times or five times. The enemy is ten to five times his own strength.
There are at least a thousand people in the Karasuba tribe. Since Teng She is not particularly familiar with it, although it knows that it is powerful, it has not carefully counted the population. It only knows a general range, but even so, the current population of Karasuba It is also more than seven or eight times that of Soaring Snake.
Teng She wants to grow the population to this number. If it grows slowly normally, it will probably not last a lifetime, and it will take half of Song Xuan's lifetime. Song Xuan never thought that it would take such a long time to accumulate strength, but Karasuba once The sun never goes away, and it always hangs in Song Xuan's heart like a knife.
Since natural reproduction is not possible, we can only rely on external forces. The surrounding tribes are all targets of Song Xuan. As long as Teng She can provide them with high enough benefits, I believe most tribes are still willing to give it a try, but Song Xuan Xun also knew that mercenaries were fine for a smooth battle, but if it was really a tough battle, they couldn't be counted on, so the most difficult part still had to be done by oneself.
At this time, the more people we have, the better. Although there are not many people in the Sheep Tribe, they are all capable warriors, which is a big help.
Therefore, Song Xuan was still a little worried about the situation of the Sheep Tribe. When Song Xuan asked again, Shuiyun also told the situation of the day.
Notifying the surrounding tribes is not a small matter. After all, such a conference only happens once or twice a year, so the people who go to notify should be informed as much as possible, and they must be at least leader-level figures. .
And it is best to let most people in their tribe know about this matter, so that even if they forget, they can be reminded. This time is naturally no exception. After all, Shuiyun leads the team, and he has participated in it many times. of people
And now Shuiyun has joined the Tengshe Tribe. Although it is still nominally under the banner of the Blackwater Tribe, it is actually hosted by Tengshe. Shuiyun naturally wants to do better. If something unexpected happens , it’s hard to say no after coming back.
This time is the same as usual. Other tribes directly find the leader or shaman and then tell the specific date. In the main tribe, not everyone is not in the tribe. There still needs to be a steward, and like women. I will be back at this time in the evening, so it is not troublesome to notify me, and I will only stay for one night at most.
However, there is still a difference when they arrive at the Sheep Tribe. Shuiyun and the others met Yang Yang and his party on the way to the Sheep Tribe. It looked like they were taking the tribe out for hunting, so it saved trouble and just stopped them halfway. The news that the trading conference was about to begin was told to them.
Moreover, Shuiyun also said that the people of the Yang tribe went out to hunt with the whole tribe, and both adults and children participated. Judging from the appearance, there should be not many people left in the tribe, so it would not be wrong to say that everyone has forgotten. It's too reasonable. The most likely situation is that it was delayed by something.
But this is just Shuiyun's guess. This kind of thing has happened to some tribes before. Because they didn't calculate the time well, other tribes may have dispersed after they came. In the end, if they really lack something, they can only go to other tribes. Try your luck, if it's not particularly urgent, in most cases you have to go home.
But my intuition tells me that this is not the case for the Song Xuanyang tribe, because their tribe is not far away from here, and even walking only takes three days. It is impossible that Yang Yang doesn't understand this.
However, it is impossible for Song Xuan to let his dozen or so people stay here for a day or two just because of this conjecture. If this were not the case, it would be a huge loss.
So after thinking about it, Song Xuan said to Shuiyun:
"Yun, why don't you go to the Sheep Tribe again to see what's going on?"
"Okay, angel, shall we come back when we go back or should we leave now?"
Shuiyun was not surprised by Song Xuan's arrangement. After all, in his opinion, Song Xuan was very concerned about the surrounding tribes and was very generous. Otherwise, when they wanted to defect to others, their first thought would be It won’t be the Soaring Snake Tribe.
"Let's go now. It's not far by boat anyway."
"good!"
From here to the Sheep Tribe, just follow the river. You only need to paddle a few miles up a tributary to reach it.
If you go back and come back again, you will take a detour instead. Why not let Shuiyun and the others take a few people over to take a look. If you go back this way, you will only waste three or four days at most. At this time, you can accept.
After moving the things to Song Xuan's boat, Shuiyun took some of the food and set off. Although Teng She didn't get anything to eat in the end of the exchange, Song Xuan also did it before coming and planned to bring some of it over. In addition to the food everyone prepared for themselves along the way, the amount is not too small.
Shuiyun didn't want to bring so many things, he just wanted to go back quickly, but Song Xuan was firstly afraid of any accidents along the way, and secondly, the things that the Sheep Tribe might be lacking at the moment were just physical objects, although there weren't many things. , but it is still possible to give them emergency supplies. Even if they are not needed, it will not cost much to bring them back when the time comes.
Anyway, we were leaving by boat, so Shuiyun didn't say much and headed straight for the Sheep Tribe with a few people. Song Xuan also hoped that they couldn't come because of time issues, and that they didn't have any accidents, otherwise It is also a big loss for Teng She.
