Su Litu, the leader of the Naren tribe, can bear the word "Kong Wu Li". He is considered a leader even among the Hu tribe warriors, but unlike his rough appearance, he is actually a rather cunning guy.
But being cunning does not mean being smart, not to mention that he is only as cunning as compared to most uneducated roughnecks - his little thoughts are like shit on a white paper in Asier's eyes. Just as conspicuous and obvious.
"Your ideal has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to be involved in a war like you 'big tribe' that has nothing to do with us." Su Litu said plausibly.
Asier stood up with his hands on the table and looked at Su Litu parallelly. He gently pushed away the locks of hair hanging in front of his forehead with his hands, revealing a fierce look: "You haven't answered my question yet..."
Seeing Asier's right hand clenching the dagger, Su Litu's Adam's apple squirmed slightly, but if he showed weakness at this time, it would inevitably cause the entire alliance to lose its focus, so even if he looked tough but was weak inside, he had to be tougher.
"The banquet is not over yet. If the guests leave early, it would be too disrespectful to me as the host..." Azier suddenly let go of his hand, and the dagger inlaid with gems on the handle fell onto the silver plate, making a clanging sound. "Su Litu, you can leave, but as soon as you step out of this door, we will be enemies."
"Even if you say that! Even if I sit down now and say I am neutral! Aren't you afraid that I will send troops to you after I get back safely?" Unreasonable fear enveloped Su Litu's heart, and every word he said was blasting The sound comes to support.
"In that case, you will be the one who breaks the oath...and in full view of the public." The man on horseback promised a huge sum of money. Asier used a knife to pick up the mutton to test the courage of all the leaders. As long as the other party dared to eat it, it would be equivalent to An agreement was made. Although this is not a strict ritual, this behavior can completely replace beheading a sheep and drinking blood wine - after all, Asier's agreement with everyone is to remain neutral and not an alliance. Blood-sucking is the standard for alliance oaths, so it is used here. Somewhat out of line.
Those who violate the oath will be punished by Changshengtian - of course, Changshengtian may not really punish those who betray them, but the Wu Le Department will definitely be happy to do it for them.
Su Litu's ambition finally defeated his fear. He took a deep look at Asier and then said without looking back, "I'm waiting to see Wu Le's iron hoof."
Obviously, Su Litu knew nothing about the history of the Sheng Kingdom, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to know the story of the Hongmen Banquet, so he would make the stupidest choice.
The moment Su Li tried to lift up the tent, several long feathered arrows pierced his body in an instant. Even if he was lined with a layer of soft armor, it would not help.
"This..." The three leaders closest to Su Litu were all frightened. They kept retreating back into the tent and looked at Su Litu, who was shot by several arrows and lay down straight.
The other leaders who chose neutrality also changed their expressions slightly. It was unclear whether they were afraid or disgusted by Asier's methods.
"You..." Su Litu struggled to crawl in front of Azier, his eyes were so wide that they almost burst out of their sockets. He felt incredible about everything that happened in just a short moment, but it seemed a little late to regret it now. Only blood foam was left rolling out from the corners of his mouth.
"I said, as long as you walk out of this door, you and I will be enemies." Asier didn't even look at the dying Su Litu, but turned his head to the remaining three leaders.
"Three of you, you haven't stepped through this door yet. I hope you will make the right choice." Asier's words gave them three steps to step down, but as for whether they would appreciate it or not, he could not control it.
In fact, if these three people wanted to follow Su Litu's example and bravely break out, the one who would be in trouble would be Asier - the only person he wanted to kill at the banquet was the one who was the greatest threat to the Ule tribe. Su Li tried, and everything he did was to test whether this person was really as ambitious as his father said. But his words have already been put there. If the three people break through the door without killing them, they will lose the prestige they have finally established. But if they kill them, not to mention whether the other leaders' views on themselves will change, their tribe will also It will definitely not give up.
Of course, the courage of these three people was not as great as imagined. After witnessing Su Litu's death with their own eyes, the three people returned to their original seats and chose to remain neutral like the previous people.
And this banquet is not as simple as it seems. There is a huge contrast between the true attitudes and appearances of the leaders - in the eyes of those attendees who do not know the truth, everyone except A Yin and Dai Qin chose to do the same. Although they were neutral, nearly half of the people had secretly formed an alliance with Asier when he visited his family one by one. The reason why they were not allowed to reveal their true position was, of course, to let them set an example and let those who Guys who were originally eager to try and had different intentions habitually followed the herd.
"Su Litu died here... Renbu wouldn't just accept it like that, right?" Seeing Su Litu die like this, Mo Rigen felt a little uncomfortable. This approach was not in line with his usual style. .
This black tiger was not among Asier's allies, but the courage and principles he showed made Asier admire him very much, so Asier also answered all questions: "The Gaole tribe learned that I invited ten There was news that the leaders of the four tribes were attending the banquet, so I planned to kill them all while we were together, but I had already noticed it, which led to the Gaole tribe’s conspiracy being exposed and the entire army being wiped out... It’s a pity that Lord Su Litu was involved in the melee. Unfortunately died.”
"Will the Renbu believe such words?" Mo Rigen frowned. He really couldn't appreciate these conspiracies.
"It doesn't matter if they believe it or not...as long as I have evidence."
After saying this, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts. They didn't know what kind of evidence could make this little prince lie without changing his face.
Suddenly, a bell was heard ringing outside the tent, mixed with the sound of horse hooves, and a solemn middle-aged man came in carrying a bloody head.
Everyone knows this man. He is Su He's personal guard captain Xing Ge. He has visited various tribes with Asier, and then he looked closely at the head that was chopped off at the neck - although it was stained with blood, there were also many people. It was recognized that it was the head of Huricha, the general of the Gaole tribe.
"Hu Richa...how could he die here?"
But the little prince was not surprised at all. He held the steaming milk tea in both hands and looked at the questioner calmly: "Didn't I tell you before? I saw through the Gaole tribe's conspiracy and allowed them to be defeated." Return."
…………
On the night when Su He and the third son agreed on the route of dispatching troops, Asir suddenly appeared in Noyan's golden tent.
"Why, are you changing your mind again?" Su He had not yet fallen asleep, and was examining the march map drawn by the four of them during the day by candlelight.
"I thought about it again when I went back and found that my second brother was right." Asier smiled and sat next to Su He.
"What, you want to lead the troops to deal with the Gaole tribe again?" Su He glanced at his son.
"No...I'm thinking, if the Gaole tribe really doesn't lend a helping hand to Ersu, then what exactly do they want to do?
"According to what my second brother said, the Gaole tribe has not launched a major offensive for ten years, and it is impossible for them to let us destroy the Ersu tribe and then rush to fight, so I am worried that their plan overlaps with mine - both We want to use small tribes to make some changes, and a three-front battle is the most unfavorable situation for us.
"So I think the purpose of Gawler is really the most worthy of our attention."
Su He smiled and put down the leather marching map in his hand: "It seems you already have an idea."
"Father, there is an idiom in Shengguo called 'The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole follows', and I am willing to be the cicada and let you, father, be the bird catching insects - I will visit various tribes with great fanfare, and you need Always pay attention to the movements of Gawler's troops. Even if they continue to feint and harass as before, don't relax your vigilance - once Gawler's troops penetrate into our east, we will immediately join forces to form a pincer attack, which will definitely cause them losses. heavy."
Although Asier's idea is just a conjecture, it is always right to be more cautious. Su He has also encountered several Gaole tribe scouts in the past three months, and each time he would send people to counter-reconnaissance. whereabouts and passed the news to Asir who was eating, drinking and having fun in the East.
Finally, when they got Asir and prepared to gather all the leaders of the fourteen tribes at a banquet, the Gaole tribe finally took action, but what they never expected was that Noyan from the Wule tribe actually stood up to them. Having just recovered from an arrow wound, he went to the battlefield in person, and his guard captain Xing Ge came to outflank him on both sides, directly trapping several groups of soldiers and horses. General Hu Richa also ran out of ammunition and food after persisting for three days, and launched the final attack. When Bo charged, he was killed by Brother Xing.
…………
Back to the present, Huricha's death caused great fluctuations in the mentality of all the leaders - they didn't know what kind of plan Asier had made. Could it be what he said? Easily saw through the Gaole tribe's conspiracy and killed a general?
It’s unbelievable, but it’s hard to believe.
