Xiliang Prairie, Blood Moon Settlement.
Xueyue Zhiyong had just put down the first message of "self-destruction" and had not had time to discuss countermeasures with others.
Report!
The sound of horse hooves hurriedly sounded again outside.
The second piece of information arrived quickly.
"My wounded soldiers were desperate and unarmed and attacked Benlu, suffering numerous casualties."
What?
Xueyue Zhiyong suddenly stood up and punched the table in front of him in shock and anger.
"Kang Ansheng is this old thief, how dare he..."
However, Kang Ansheng not only dared, but also took action.
The other clan elders and elders knew that the situation was not good at a glance. They quickly took the information and looked at it, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"Chief," some grumpy elders jumped up immediately, "Kang Ansheng is too cruel. We should send troops to Benlu to kill him immediately, so as not to chill the hearts of other clan members."
Many people stood up in support.
"Yes! As the saying goes, a good man will be bullied, and a good horse will be ridden. Kang Ansheng has done this. If we don't respond quickly, what will other tribes think? What will the small and medium-sized affiliated tribes think? On the grassland What will other people think of our so-called big tribe?”
"If the tiger doesn't show its power, does it think we are sick cats? Chief, immediately send troops to destroy Kang Ansheng and give me back the bright world of the Blood Moon."
Some young go-getters even volunteered.
"Clan leader, my subordinates are willing to lead troops to go out and destroy the Angel people in Benlu."
"Clan leader, it concerns my blood moon's prestige and future. If my subordinates can lead the troops, they will kill Kang Ansheng and others."
"Add me. I'm going too..."
In the midst of the commotion, the rational party's expression changed drastically and they quickly stood up to express their different opinions.
"Patriarch, this matter is no small matter. Don't act rashly until the facts are clear. Let's discuss it in the long run."
"Clan leader, I agree with Elder Luo's opinion."
"It's easy for us to send troops, and it's easy to kill the old traitor Kang Ansheng, but it will definitely be a full-scale conflict between two large tribes in the grassland. I'm afraid it will damage the royal court's eastward policy."
Having said that, the elder looked to the west tactfully.
"How about we report everything that happened recently to the royal court and ask the king to intervene again and give me blood moon justice?"
However, the more the radical elders listened, the uglier they became.
snort.
They snorted coldly,
"What more truth do you want?"
They banged two pieces of information on the table.
"This is the truth."
"As for the royal court?"
"Wang Ting is nothing! Their so-called eastward plan is to let us die in the front, while we do nothing in the back, and even make small moves secretly."
"Exactly. If Wang Ting really wanted to head east together, I'm afraid we would have crossed Luoxia Mountain and entered the hinterland of Yunchui by now."
As they talked, someone mentioned the past again.
"Don't forget how Kang Ansheng in Running Deer survived."
"He deliberately evacuated the garrison at the Yangguan ancient crossing, allowing the Yanhui Corps and the Dingxi garrison to enter Dingxi County and successfully rushed to Peishi City. Kang Ansheng himself escaped from the battle, and in the end we were surrounded by enemies on all sides and were annihilated."
"Has Wang Ting given us an answer for this kind of behavior that ignores the life and death of friendly troops?"
The man roared filial piety.
"No!"
The sound was so loud that it struck the ears like thunder, causing silence in the meeting hall.
Many people's expressions became even more angry after they reacted, and they all blamed Wang Ting.
cough!
The rational elder coughed and couldn't help but stand up and explain.
"Brothers, what Elder Kai said is not very accurate. In fact, the royal court has sent people to review the battle of Dingxi a long time ago, but the journey is long and the time is short, so there is no result yet."
Speaking of this, the elder hesitated.
"Furthermore, it is said that the second prince Hu Tingtuochi appeared on the grassland again, diverting the attention of the royal court at the right time. Once the second prince's matter is settled, I believe the king will give us Blood Moon an explanation as soon as possible."
But others couldn't listen at all.
"ASAP?"
"What does it mean as soon as possible? Is it one year, two years, or ten or eight years?"
The man glanced sideways at several rational elders.
"Or are you waiting for Angel to eat up our blood moon?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the entire meeting hall changed drastically.
If that were the case, there would be no need to give Blood Moon any explanation.
cough.
At this time, Elder Yi, who had been silent in the hall, suddenly stood up.
"Brothers, I got a piece of news recently..."
There has been an inappropriate quarrel in the meeting hall, but the clan leader Xue Yue Zhiyong did not speak, so even if the two sides argued over, there was not much point.
Seeing the usually quiet Elder Yi suddenly speak at this time, everyone couldn't help but shut their mouths and looked towards him.
hehe.
Elder Yi sneered.
"The trade route has been closed for so long, and many things in the clan have been used up. I am not going to take the caravan out for a tour."
"However, I later learned that there was actually a caravan that had been traveling back and forth on the grassland last year."
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
The blood moon is so big and there are so many people in the clan, a lot of materials are consumed very quickly.
For example, coarse salt, cloth, tea, etc.
The latter is easy to say, there is always something that can be substituted.
However, salt is a big problem.
Without this garnish, the meat would be hard to eat no matter how fragrant it is. At the same time, there is no way to marinate military rations. Moreover, it is said that salt can prevent some diseases similar to thick necks...
According to reports from various places, many newborns in the tribe have been suffering from various diseases recently.
Maybe it's because there's a lack of salt in the food.
Someone couldn't wait to speak out, "What kind of goods did that caravan bring? Why has it never been to our settlement?"
cough.
Elder Yi coughed again.
"That caravan is from Beixiong. It seems to be from the Principality of Langston. It is said that they have been to Yunchui from the north and brought back a lot of good things."
When they heard that the caravan had been to Yunchui and brought good things, everyone in the meeting hall, including Xueyue Zhiyong, couldn't help but pricked up their ears.
"It's a pity..." Elder Yi said with a stern look on his face, "They went south through the Desert of No Return, visited the Angel tribe, and then turned west to the royal court."
"Speaking of which, it's time to turn around now."
Dry.
An old clan member was so heartbroken that he couldn't help but pull his neck and curse.
"You old boy, don't keep saying half and half. Tell me quickly, will they come back to our blood moon?"
Elder Yi shook his head gently, shattering everyone's expectations.
"The caravan has already planned a route. It will go east from the Royal Court, pass through Angel and a group of small and medium-sized tribes, and finally arrive at Luoxi, not far to the west of us, and then turn directly north to the Desert of No Return..."
Everyone looked at each other.
Some people couldn't help but jump up.
"Fuck! If Luoxi doesn't come to our Blood Moon, what do they mean?"
Do you look down on the blood moon?
Elder Yi's mouth felt bitter.
"According to the people in the caravan, they were very willing to come to our place. But I heard that the area around the Blood Moon has been very uneasy recently, and we were unable to control the situation, so they canceled the trip..."
"Can't control the situation?"
Everyone's faces were burning as they recited these words.
How unreasonable!
This is really unreasonable!
Old Luoxi has almost no clan members. Is their situation worse than that of Blood Moon?
After all, they don't believe in Blood Moon's strength.
boom!
Xueyue Zhiyong suddenly punched the table hard.
"Go on, for the future of Blood Moon, we must kill chickens to scare monkeys."
"Organize an army immediately and let's go greet Kang Ansheng in Benluli!"
