Several tribes were very happy to get new weapons, and Jianshui looked over them over and over. However, most of the Taowan were still on the boat and had not even been moved into the cave. At this time, they could only give them a few to play with.
Originally, there weren’t many things exchanged before winter, and we were afraid that we wouldn’t have enough food in winter. This year’s event was already quite big. Although the number of tribes that came was half less than before, it was still quite lively, but after all, there were few people and the sun had not yet set. By sunset, the exchange was basically over.
Obviously they had to stay overnight today. Song Xuan also wanted them to tell them about the cruelty of the Karasuba tribe, but after all, he had no personal experience. Even if he knew that Karasuba was very scary, he had no other expressions, and the response was not particularly good.
Karasuba has already lost so many people. Even if they will go south in the future, it is obvious that Teng She is blocking them from the north and has little to do with them.
Although they also knew the truth about lips and teeth being cold, they were still a small tribe after all. Now that Teng She's strength was here, they were not willing to get involved.
Seeing that several people had no idea at all, Song Xuan stopped asking. Human nature is like this. If Wu Yu beat them and fled, they would ask Teng She for help without Song Xuan's words. Now they have been treated There is no threat anymore, so naturally I don’t want to get involved anymore.
Since the few people have no ideas for the time being, Song Xuan feels that it is not easy to force it. Although with Teng She's strength, if it is really strong, it is estimated that they will not be able to refuse. Just like Teng She before, Teng She has also experienced such things. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
Anyway, even if there is any action, it will definitely be after the spring of next year, so there is no rush.
Although several tribes were not attacked, after all, several tribes they had made friends with were destroyed. The excitement during the exchange was gradually disappearing at this time. With Yuan Yu here, everyone did not want to say more for fear of irritating them. too big.
After experiencing so many things, everyone in the Kite tribe has gradually come out of the pain. Now the great revenge has basically been avenged. Although the tribe has been destroyed, fortunately there are still dozens of people alive, even if there is no way to rebuild. Hope, but living in Tengshe, I didn't feel aggrieved. Even for them, everyone in Tengshe took good care of them.
The current Soaring Snake, in addition to prisoners, is basically a gathering place for the injured. I can still understand their feelings, so everyone usually pays attention to this aspect, but only time can erase the scars in their hearts.
Although Teng Snake didn't do anything to them, the leaders obviously respected Song Xuan more than before. Although Teng Snake was quite powerful in the past, it didn't make them feel too much pressure. Now Teng Snake They were completely different. Even if the person didn't move, it still made them feel a little uneasy.
Several tribes don't even have the ability to resist. After all, Teng She can now have more people than all of their entire tribes even if they casually remove a few people.
They also don't have weapons and equipment as good as Soaring Snake, so they obviously have no chance of competing.
Although Song Xuan wants to build a strong enough Tengshe tribe, he has to rely on his own development. Both Tengshe and Song Xuan's previous country have come from the road of being invaded. If they can develop peacefully, Naturally, this is the best thing, but at the same time, you must not be afraid of fighting. If the enemy invades, the best way is to completely defeat them.
Even if there is tribal hunting at this time, it is usually not too far from your own tribe. The main thing is to clean up the surrounding beasts. Anyway, if you run too far, you won’t gain much. It is better to stay closer to home. convenient.
So everyone was not in a hurry to go back. After getting up, they had a delicious breakfast and then started to pack their things.
Anyway, Teng She was generous, so Teng She was entirely responsible for this breakfast. Although the food they ate came from the food they exchanged for Teng She, after all, Teng She had nothing to say if she didn't give it to everyone.
Regarding the location of future exchange meetings, several tribes have also re-determined. Since several tribes in the upper reaches have basically disappeared, the location of the exchange is complete and can be determined.
After discussion, future exchange meetings were scheduled to be held on a hillside not far from the Blackwater Tribe.
Although the conditions are not particularly good, it is about the same distance from several tribes and can be reached in about four days, which is fair to everyone.
This can be considered a time saver, so even if it is held with notice, it will only take half a month at most. If only the time for each tribe to participate is included, it can be completed in eight or nine days.
You must know that in the past, when exchange conferences were held, notice was usually given one month in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to arrive at exactly the same time.
Of course, the distance between the various tribes is now closer, even if there is no exchange meeting, there will be more exchanges.
If the only powerful tribe is the Soaring Snake, there is no need to be like before. The feelings of several other slightly stronger tribes need to be taken into consideration. For small tribes such as the Ox Tribe, this is also a good thing.
As for the specific location, Song Xuan promised several leaders, and Teng She will choose a good place later. At the same time, if conditions permit, a little construction can be done at that time. Exchanges and blind date meetings will basically stay overnight, and the conditions should not be too bad. , at least until there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Anyway, it wouldn’t be too troublesome to build a few simple wooden sheds in such a place. It would be most suitable for Teng She to do this kind of thing. Although a few people didn’t say it, they basically agreed that Teng She would be responsible for future exchange conferences. Hosted.
This can reduce the pressure to some extent for several tribes. In the past, when it was their turn to notify other tribes, it always gave them a headache. After all, at least three or four people had to be sent, and they would come back and forth for more than half a month. In the past, not only was it impossible to hunt during this period, but one also had to bring enough food.
For them, who are already a little nervous about manpower, it is just adding insult to injury. If the year is good, it will be okay, but if the harvest is not good, it will bring great pressure to the life of the entire tribe.
But once it's your turn, you obviously have to do it. After all, this is something that has been discussed from the beginning. If you really refuse, it will only make other tribes unhappy, and it is not impossible to eliminate them by then.
So no matter how hard it is, they will grit their teeth and keep going, unless they can't hold on any longer. If even life becomes a problem, other tribes can understand. Just like the Sheep Tribe, they have only been participating in it in the past few years. That's it, no one asked them to notify other tribes.
But they don't have to worry about this in the future, Teng She will be responsible for it, and they can just wait in the tribe.
Although when exchanging things with Soaring Snake, they basically exchanged food from Soaring Snake, but it was actually the same in the past. Only a few powerful tribes had extra things to exchange. Like them, they only exchanged some necessary things for life. supplies.
You even have to hope that the more precious animal skins and horns you brought will be appreciated by other tribes. Now Teng Snake basically accepts all orders, especially the better animal skins. Although they are somewhat inconsistent with their value, they can keep warm. The effect is also quite obvious. Besides, the things that Soaring Snake needs to exchange are not that precious, at least for Soaring Snake, so there is no need to care too much about this kind of exchange.
Both sides also have a mutually prosperous relationship. When other tribes develop, they will feed back to Teng She from the other side.
But just when everyone had discussed everything and was about to disperse, they saw a boat suddenly floating not far away.
"Hey, which tribe is this from?"
Watching the canoe paddling quickly towards the foot of the mountain, it was obvious that there was something important. However, the distance was a bit far away and it was not possible to clearly see which tribe it was, but the Zong tribe could basically be ruled out.
After all, the Zhu tribe came from the lower reaches, and this boat was obviously drawn from the upper reaches. Even Song Xuan was a little worried that something had happened to Teng She.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Things were packed up, so everyone set off immediately to see what was going on.
When everyone reached the foot of the mountain, they bumped into people walking up. Shi Song, who was in charge of watching at the foot of the mountain, was leading the three of them up.
"Angel of God!"
"he……"
As soon as Song Xuan finished speaking, he saw Niu He rushing out from the side:
"Niu Yang, what's wrong?"
There was no need to ask any more questions now. It looked like they must be from the Niu tribe. Song Xuan and several other tribal leaders also stepped forward quickly. At this time, the people from the Niu tribe had obviously encountered something urgent. Otherwise, Niu He would You can return to the tribe in two days.
"Head...leader, tribe..."
"..."
This man named Niu Yang quickly explained the situation clearly, but for several tribes, it was like another bolt from the blue.
The day after Niu He led the people to leave the tribe, more than a dozen people suddenly came around the Niu tribe. Fortunately, Niu He warned him before leaving. Moreover, the Niu tribe was surrounded by grassland and the view was very wide, so they were separated from each other. They found this group of people very far away.
After discovering the arrival of someone, the people of the Niu tribe behaved very calmly and called everyone around them back. At the same time, they closed the gate of the tribe and everyone waited behind the wall with their weapons in hand.
"Is Chief Niuhe here? I'm from the Wolf Tribe..."
One sentence revealed the true identity of this group of people. They were Wu Yun's group who luckily escaped from Song Xuan.
After Wu Yun and his men successfully got rid of Song Xuan's pursuit, he didn't know where to go for a while. He definitely didn't dare to take the road of Teng Snake in the north. He could also imagine that after his side was defeated, , Wu Cang on the other side definitely couldn't compete.
But if they want to take a detour to return to the Karasuba Tribe, it will take at least half a month. The time is okay, and it is not that stressful, but they don’t have enough food on them. Although there are three horses that can eat it, If they fail to arrive, it will definitely not be possible to support them through the winter.
This route was calculated based on the detour of the Wolf Tribe. It can be expected that the Wolf Tribe will be defeated with them here. As for the women who are still in the Wolf Tribe, they will definitely not be able to escape the "poisonous hand" of Soaring Snake. If they continue If you take a detour, it will take longer.
At the same time, because it is not a familiar road, it also increases many risks.
Even if there are dark clouds, they are not confident enough that they will be able to bring everyone back to the tribe before the heavy snow closes the mountains.
Teng She is lying across the north. It is naturally impossible to rush over. With more than 300 people, Teng She has not been able to defeat Teng She, and she was beaten to death. Now there are only a few people left, let alone them. Once encountered, they will basically be defeated. It can be regarded as delivering meat to your door.
And taking a detour means that it will take a lot of time. Whether it is the living supplies they carry or the upcoming winter, they are not allowed to take a detour, and the only two roads currently available may be under the control of Soaring Snake. , and finding a way out is both dangerous and takes time.
Just when Wu Yun was worried about this, the words spoken by a member of the wolf tribe who escaped immediately woke him up:
"Leader Wuyun, why don't we go downstream?"
After experiencing this battle, Wu Yun's original morale was basically beaten by Song Xuan, so after he was sure to get rid of the pursuit, the first thing he thought about was how to return to the tribe safely, but he did not expect to find another way. There were still several people downstream of Teng She. It's a tribe, and there aren't many people.
Although they only have eleven people left now, if they can sneak in like before, the possibility of success is very high. Even if they can't succeed, they might be able to find a way to kidnap a few people in exchange for some food. Now they are finally The most important thing is to find a way to survive.
It is indeed a good idea to venture all the way north.
After asking about the distance and the specific number of tribes downstream, Wu Yun Dang made the decision and went directly to the Niu tribe. There were three tribes gathered in the Niu tribe, and the distance was relatively close. It only took eight or nine days to walk there.
But the only trouble is that they need to cross the river in front of them, but unless the dark clouds are determined to go from the completely unfamiliar west, this river will definitely not be bypassed.
Although I feel a little distressed, these horses definitely have not managed to cross the river. It is possible to cross the river upstream, but Teng She is blocking them there, so there is no way to cross.
In the end, they can only kill ruthlessly, and if they don't kill now, they won't be able to stay behind. Even if they go downstream, they have to have food. They have only eight weapons and even less food. Unfortunately, except for a few people from the Wolf tribe who brought a few, the people from Karasuba didn't have any at all.
With such a small amount of food, one meal would not be enough for eleven people, let alone eight or nine days. No matter what, these horses would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being reduced to food.
After determining the direction, Wuyun and his party immediately headed downstream under the leadership of the Wolf Tribe people.
Wuyun and the others were not very good at water, so they could only choose the section with the slowest water flow to cross. Even so, two people from the Wolf tribe would have to take turns to carry them across. It took most of the day just to cross the river. After all, Going back and forth is still very energy-consuming. In the end, there is no other way. The people of the Wolf tribe can only let Wu Yun and others learn to lie down in the river first, and then rely entirely on the flow of water, and then one person can slowly adjust it, although it will deviate a lot. It's far, but it saves energy.
Wu Yun now regrets why he set fire to the Kite and Bear tribes. Otherwise, if he could just go there now, he would still have a place to live, and he wouldn't have to worry about living supplies other than food. No matter which tribe he belongs to, There was a lot of firewood and animal skins, but it was useless to go back now, as everything had turned into ashes.
The next best result is that a group of them successfully sneaks into a tribe and then finds a way to capture it. As long as they can get in, they will basically have the capital to survive the winter. The worse thing is to find a way to get some food. Then find a cave to hide in. As long as there is enough food, poor conditions are not a problem.
At least in the eyes of Wu Yun and others, the possibility of success is still very high.
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived near the Niu Tribe, they saw everyone in the Niu Tribe walking into the tribe and then closing the door.
Although they had some doubts, they finally thought that the Ox Tribe was just being cautious. Although the people of the Wolf Tribe knew that this year's exchange meeting had not yet been held, after careful consideration, they all felt that Soaring Snake might not be able to spare its hands yet.
"Wolf tribe!?"
Hearing that this was a member of the Wolf Tribe, it immediately caused quite a commotion among the Ox Tribe. The story that the Wolf Tribe lured wolves into the house and brought Karasuba's men to attack other tribes has already spread.
I was originally on guard against a few people, but now I became even more cautious after knowing that they were from the Wolf Tribe.
But most of the men of the Niu tribe have gone hunting in the surrounding areas, and there are only some women and children at home. The only two members of the hunting team dare not directly mention it. Although the number of enemies is not large, if a conflict really breaks out , will definitely cause certain casualties. For the now prosperous Niu Tribe, everyone is definitely not willing to see such a thing.
Even if there is no head-on confrontation, having such a group of enemies around them will put a lot of pressure on them.
Niu Yang was one of the two people who were arranged to stay in the tribe that day. Even if he did not dare to provoke the people in front of him, he certainly could not let them stay here. After thinking for a while, he said:
"Friends from the Wolf Tribe, our leader has gone to Soaring Snake and will be back the day after tomorrow. If you have any questions, you should wait until the leader comes back to talk about it!"
Niu Yang naturally wanted to use Teng She's name to scare a dozen people not far away.
Hearing that Ushikawa had gone to Soaring Snake did make Wuyun and the others nervous. I heard that the people inside wanted them to wait until Ushikawa came back before talking about the matter. But when Ushikawa came back, they would naturally know everything. Under his eyes, the tribesmen had no choice but to continue:
"Then let us go in first. We really have something urgent to talk to Chief Ushikawa!"
Although he knew that the person in front of him was full of lies, Niu Yang did not expose it. He thought of another explanation and refused:
"The leader said before he left that if anyone comes, go to the mountain to the east. There is a cave there..."
"Friends of the Wolf Tribe, you'd better go there and wait!"
…
Although there was some logic in the Niu tribe's rejection, Wu Yun was still very keen to notice something was wrong. He glanced at the fence in front of him bitterly and said:
"Let's go!"
The people of the Wolf Tribe still wanted to continue fighting for it, so they said reluctantly:
"Leader Wuyun, how about I..."
"Walk!"
Seeing Wu Yun's tough attitude, the people of the Wolf Tribe naturally did not dare to say anything and could only follow Wu Yun's footsteps. The skinny camels were bigger than horses. At this time, there were still more people from the Wu Yu Tribe than them. And the combat effectiveness is obviously a bit stronger.
However, although there are three more people from the Black Feather Tribe, they have fallen to such a low level after all. They are grasshoppers on the same line, and people from the Wolf Tribe are needed to lead the way across the river.
Wuyun's attitude towards the enemies of the wolf tribe has also become much better. He is not as aloof as before and does not regard them as human beings at all.
Seeing that several people were a little confused, Wu Yun patiently explained:
"They already know!"
"Got it?...Didn't they say..."
Then he realized that it was not like they had never been here before, and there were also times when Ushikawa was away. They had never been asked to live in a cave before. The Wolf Tribe had no problem with it, even if it was Tobi Umi. They are all very polite, let alone the Niu tribe, which is not strong in the first place.
In the past, people who came to the Niu tribe were respectful, but now they are on guard against them and even let them stay. The cave obviously wants to keep enough distance from them, and maybe it is waiting for the manpower to gather together to find a way. Solve them.
"Let's go! Let's attack the next tribe directly!"
"yes!"
…………
After listening to Niu Yang's description, Cao Miao and Mu Quan, who had just relaxed a little, became really nervous. After all, according to Niu Yang, the direction in which Wu Yun's remnant soldiers were heading was exactly the direction of their two tribes.
Although they said hello before leaving, the area around the tribe was not as empty as that of the Cow Tribe. The nearest woods were only a few dozen meters away from the fence. It would obviously be very dangerous for these dozen people to get close.
These dozen people were obviously introduced to them by Song Xuan last night. At that time, Song Xuan specifically mentioned that if they met, even if they were not caught, the news must be reported to Teng She as soon as possible. Teng She will also provide corresponding compensation for the consumption along the way and the time wasted by manpower.
What no one expected was that they would already get the news today.
Seeing that there might be danger in the tribe, several people also hurriedly said to Song Xuan:
"Angel, let's go back to the tribe!"
Although Niu Yang said he saw Wu Yun and the others leave his sight with his own eyes, he immediately came by boat to report. No one could guarantee whether Wu Yun and his party would fight back. Niu He also had the idea of returning to the tribe immediately. .
Song Xuan was already bitter about letting a few people go. After all, Wu Yun was the most important war criminal in this war. If he could be caught, the victory would obviously be more complete.
Yuan Yu and the others wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Facing the gazes of several people, Song Xuan immediately said:
"Let's go together!"
Several leaders were stunned when they heard Song Xuan's words, but when they thought of Teng She's performance against Wu Yu, they immediately felt that they would be much safer. Teng She only came to participate in the exchange meeting. They are over ten years old, almost as many as the adult males in their tribe. With Teng She people around, if there is a conflict, they will not suffer.
