It was Shao Xi who spoke. He came to Zhuoligetu and asked, "Uncle, can you tell me what is going on?"
Zhuoligetu smiled and said, "Child, this is an adult matter between our tribes. Don't you understand?"
"Every tribe on the grassland is short of daily necessities in winter. If we encounter some unexpected situations, they may not have enough to eat throughout the winter, and there will inevitably be mutual robbery. How can I not understand this?"
Shao Xi's words surprised Zhuo Ligetu. The truth is indeed very simple, but coming from a six-year-old child, it is really surprising.
"Oh, what do you think?" Zhuo Ligetu seemed to be interested in Shao Xi.
"Looking at the uncle's current behavior, it seems that he plans to go to the other party's tribe tonight to retaliate. I must have guessed correctly, right?" Shao Xi said matter-of-factly.
Zhuoligetu nodded and did not deny it.
"What I can guess, do you think they can also guess it?"
"I also know this. The other party will definitely be prepared tonight. But if we do nothing, the other party will think that we are easy to bully. From now on, how can our Tot Department gain a foothold on the grassland?"
Shao Xi put his thumb on his chin and asked Zhuoligetu: "No matter what happens after you go there tonight, uncle, what's next?"
"The other party will definitely come back to retaliate against us."
"Then what?"
"Then of course we have to fight back."
"What happens next?"
Zhuo Ligetu stopped talking. He seemed to understand the meaning of Shao Xi's words. Indeed, if this continues, it will only form an endless vicious cycle. For many years, the prairie population has remained small. The main reason is of course the poor living conditions caused by the harsh natural environment, but mutual internal friction is also an important factor.
Thinking of this, Zhuoligetu nodded and said: "Indeed, if we continue to attack each other like this, only the herdsmen of the two tribes will be harmed in the end, which will be of no benefit to both parties. What do you think?"
Shao Xi thought for a while and said: "Since both sides are unable to completely drive the other side out of this grassland, there are only two ways, one is to talk and the other is to fight. Of course, problems that can be solved through talks cannot be solved Solve it by fighting. If you can't talk, you must fight, and it also depends on how you fight."
Zhuoligetu didn't expect that a six-year-old child would have such an opinion, so he pulled Shao Xi down and asked: "If there is no way to resolve the matter peacefully through negotiation. If a fight is necessary, how do you think the fight should be?"
"Retaliating in self-defense."
"We are all on guard against each other now, and we will retaliate if we have the chance. Isn't this self-defense and retaliation?"
Shao Xi shook his head, "Uncle, what you are doing now is turn-based retaliation at best. And the self-defense counterattack I am talking about means that after giving the enemy a head-on attack at our defensive border, we will continue our attack momentum to pursue the enemy, and Cause some damage to it and cause it to suffer losses. After that, we will withdraw to the original defensive boundary."
"The premise is that after we withdraw to the original defensive boundary, we will not launch a retaliatory attack on the enemy. Let them know that as long as they do not attack, they can live in peace; as long as they attack, they will be beaten and suffer losses. Do you think they will How to choose?"
Shao Xi surprised Zhuoligetu. He did not expect that a six-year-old child would express such a logic of war. Of course, he didn't know that it was just something Shao Xi had appropriated from elsewhere.
But now another problem lies ahead, insufficient troops.
Zhuo Ligetu stood up and called Xuri Qian in from outside, and said to him: "Tell this kid the strength situation of us and the Mao'an Department."
Xurigan looked confused, why would he tell a child this? But he still replied: "Currently, we have about 2,500 young and middle-aged men who can participate in the battle, and about 500 people who can serve as elite warriors. The total strength of Mao'an Department is almost 1,000 more than us, and the elite 700 to 800 people. Hundred."
"You heard that our total military strength is not as good as the opponent's, so how can we give the opponent a head-on blow?" Zhuoligetu was looking forward to hearing the child's solution.
"The total strength is one thousand more than ours, and there are seven to eight hundred elites. In other words, if we don't suffer any losses, as long as we kill these seven to eight hundred elites, the problem will be fundamentally solved."
"Are you kidding? Even if we use our five hundred elites to defeat their seven or eight hundred elites, we will still make a profit, let alone no loss. How is this possible?" Xuriqian couldn't believe what Shao Xi said.
"If you could do this, uncle, what would you choose?"
Shao Xi doesn't like war, because war means people will die; families will be broken up; children will lose their fathers; wives will lose their husbands; mothers will lose their sons. So he wanted to end the war with as few casualties as possible.
Zhuoligetu sighed: "If it were not forced by life, who would be willing to let his family sacrifice? If the Mao'an Department is unable to harass us in the future, we will never retaliate against them. We will live in peace. Let’s live together on this grassland.”
"Since uncle said so, I think I have a way to help you, but it will take some manpower and some time." Shao Xi still put his thumb on his chin.
"What can you do? What can a child do?" Xuri Qian questioned.
"Don't worry, listen to him." Zhuoli Getu raised his hand to stop Xuri.
"I need some things. You can ask people to collect them, or you can find a nearby caravan to exchange them. In short, you have to hurry up and exchange as many as possible. In addition, I also need some blacksmiths, carpenters, and leatherworkers. What I want to do is relatively dangerous, so I need to build a few sheds a little further away from the tribe?"
"Send people to dig more horse traps near pastures where conflicts often occur. They don't need to be very big, just enough to make the horses fall. Make a good disguise and inform the herdsmen not to graze there in the near future. And uncle, you In the past few days, I have gone to the leader of the other tribe and said that we need to negotiate as long as possible and give me a few more days."
Xuri Qian was confused and asked: "What do you need so many things and people for? Besides, it's not like we haven't talked about Batu before, so what else is there to talk about?"
At this time, Zhuo Ligetu understood that Shao Xi was preparing to make something they had never seen before, and this thing could bring peace to the grassland, so he waved his hand again to stop Xuri Qian.
"Xuri Qian, arrange everything according to what he said. From today on, you are responsible for assisting him."
Xuri Qian will question anyone, but not Zhuoli Getu. Seeing that Zhuo Ligetu had made this decision, he agreed, turned around and went out to gather people.
As the leader of the tribe, Zhuoligetu shouldn't just believe a child's words, but from the previous conversation, he felt that the child in front of him was not an ordinary child. And from the arrangement of things, he felt that this child was more thoughtful than their adults, so he decided to let this child give it a try.
Although Shao Xi is physically a child, he never deliberately pretends to be one. So in the eyes of many people, he is just like a little adult.
"Uncle, I'm going back first. I have to go out tomorrow and draw some pictures, so you don't have to look for me before tomorrow afternoon."
"Well, I will arrange the things and manpower you want before you come back." Zhuoligetu nodded and agreed.
Then he turned around and warned: "Muren, he has just learned to ride a horse and is not very skilled. From tomorrow on, you will accompany him. You will accompany him wherever he goes."
Muren nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Abu. I will take good care of him and will never let him get hurt in any way."
Wu Zhina on the side jumped out hurriedly, "I also want to accompany Feng Yuyan, my brother and I."
"Okay, okay, our little Uzhina is coming with us. Remember to follow your brother so that you don't get lost." Zhuo Ligetu pinched Uzhina's little face lovingly.
"I won't run away! Feng Yuyan is younger than me! He didn't even run away."
Shao Xi heard that Wu Zhina would also be following him these days, and he suddenly became a big boy. This little ancestor is Tang Monk and Princess Iron Fan! After staying together for a long time, who can bear it?
"Then I'll leave first." Shao Xi walked out of the felt tent with his head hanging.
At this time, Muren chased him out.
"Feng Yuyan, although I don't know what you are going to do, Abu believes in you, and so do I. If you can really bring peace and tranquility to our grassland, I am willing to marry you as Anda and live forever. brother."
Do it? My uncle really doesn’t want to be a brother to a kid! When uncle first fell in love, you weren’t there yet! The uncle really doesn’t want his nephew to become his eldest brother and his niece-in-law to become his sister-in-law!
When Shao Xi was having a headache whether to agree or not, someone who gave him an even bigger headache appeared.
"Muren follows Feng Yuyan to worship Anda? Then I will also worship Anda with Feng Yuyan! Then we will be a real family."
When Shao Xi saw that it was Wu Zhina, the little ancestor, he wished he could grow two more legs and run away now. Why did you forget her just now? This niece has become a eldest sister. Will you not be annoyed by her in the future?
But looking at Muren's sincere look in front of him, Shao Xi really couldn't refuse. He just said: "I can worship Anda with you. But not her!"
Uzhina was not happy when she heard this. She immediately stared with two big eyes, put her hands on her hips and asked, "Why not? Why can Muren worship Anda with you, but I can't worship Anda with you?"
"You little girl, why should I worship Anda from you?"
"Who says girls can't worship Anda? Girls can also worship Anda. Also, I'm not a little girl. You have to call me Egeqi."
"Why should I worship Anda with you?"
"Why don't you worship Anda with me?"
"I won't bow to you."
"I will bow to you."
"I won't bow."
"I'm going to worship you."
……,well--
