The Roebuck tribe welcomed a long-lost guest. Both Cowlings, the tribal chief, and the somewhat down-and-out nobles all looked eagerly at the Datang envoy coming slowly from a distance. Of course, Kao was the one who accompanied him. Linsi's uncle Kauchi, an older generation figure who witnessed the decline of the Roebuck tribe.
Looking around at the nobles, although they tried their best to pretend to be bossy in front of the Tang Dynasty envoys, their years of shabby life have caused them to lose the nobility that the Roebuck tribe should have had. Facing the extremely powerful Tang Dynasty from the south, Even if they want to play around, they will feel guilty. After all, Datang's fame and power have long made them feel huge pressure.
Collins felt an indescribable sadness. For a while, he was still unclear about the intention of the Tang Dynasty's envoy, but he knew that the Dole tribe expanded rapidly with the support of the Tang Dynasty. I think that the Dole tribe was only slightly stronger than the Roebuck tribe at the beginning, but now, the Roebuck tribe has become a laughing stock in front of the Dole tribe. In just a few years, the Dole tribe has the courage to compete with the Kaman people for advantage. The strength of the city in the northern part of the Beiya Plain. Although they still relied on the Tang Dynasty in the end, if they only had this courage and lacked sufficient strength, they would be seeking death. And now the Roebuck tribe is still stretched thin under the pressure of the Puer people. The performance after getting some leftovers from Datang there.
The Tang Dynasty had never officially sent a large number of envoys to Roebuck. At most, some envoys visited the Roebuck tribe after visiting the Dole tribe. So what are they doing this time? As far as Collins knows, the Tang army has severely defeated the Puer and Dodon people in the south. It is impossible that the Tang army will invite the Roebuck tribe to participate in sharing the results of the victory. ? Collins is not so naive.
Xu Caifeng looked excitedly at the Roebuck nobles who were whispering in the tent. The poverty of the Roebuck tribe made him feel for the first time how attractive the powerful Tang Dynasty was to these border tribes. The flaming bonfire made the tent The temperature inside has increased a lot. However, the Roebuck nobles, including Chief Cowlings, are all interested in Xu Caifeng's introduction and the empire's intentions. At present, there is nothing more attractive to these people who are already poor and fearful but still miss the past of the Roebuck tribe in Berlin. Because of the glorious history of his family, Xu Caifeng has now become their hope, and it is a real hope.
Collins knew that he was not a person who was easily incited, but he had to admit that the conditions brought by the Tang Dynasty envoy were too tempting. What the other party said was absolutely right. There is nothing worth deceiving.
The Poole people are almost finished, the Dodon people are looking for a decent surrender, and only Kaman and Sislo are left. Although Collins is in a corner, he also knows that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. The victory or defeat of a temporary war can no longer change the trend of history. Even if the Tang Dynasty loses two or three times, it will not hurt the vitality. However, if Sisluo and Kaman lose, it will be doomed. The Tang Dynasty can choose a collaborator. Choose the Dole tribe. They have always chosen the Dole Tribe and the Sykes Tribe. With the support of the Tang Dynasty, the Sykes Tribe, which was once not worth mentioning, now actually wants to seek greater benefits. Look. To be isolated is to fall behind. If you fall behind, you will fail. This truth is irrefutable.
Is Datang willing to help the Roebuck tribe rise again? This sounds like a fantasy and a daydream, why? They can choose Dole. You could also choose Sykes. Why did you choose Roebuck? What's the conspiracy? But is Roebuck worthy of any conspiracy for Datang? This puzzled Collins.
"Chief Cowlings, you don't need to think so much. In fact, you only need to proceed from the interests of the Roebuck Tribe and put the interests of the Roebuck Tribe first in everything. If you think that Datang will support you and other actions It will hurt the Roebuck tribe, so you can refuse or put it aside. I think the initiative is in your hands. It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to force you to do anything. Isn't this enough to eliminate your wariness?" Xu Caifeng said with a slight smile. The way he moves his hands and feet has the air of a celebrity.
"Master Xu, you are serious. The Roebuck tribe has never doubted the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty, but it is too far away from the Tang Dynasty and many things are far apart. Even if we are willing to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty, we will be greatly constrained." Collins smiled slyly. He didn’t want to take on too many responsibilities and obligations, but he also wanted to make huge profits from it. This was the final idea of the Roebuck tribe.
"Oh, Chief Cowlings, you are wrong. The Roebuck tribe will soon border the Tang Dynasty. Poole and Doton will no longer exist. The territory of the Tang Dynasty will soon expand to the Liberia Plain. I think you will see this soon." Shaking his head slightly, Xu Caifeng straightened his fur and said, "If Chief Cowlings still hasn't thought about it, then I can give the Chief some time to think about it. But please remember, some opportunities will never come back once they are lost.”
Collins's body trembled, and a smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Xu, what are you saying? The Roebuck tribe will be the most loyal collaborators of the Tang Dynasty. Please rest assured that we are very content and will not make excessive demands." The request, but please also ask Mr. Xu to make it clear, what exactly can our Roebuck Tribe get? False names are not important to our Roebuck Tribe, what we need is something real."
"Of course, the Tang Dynasty will never treat those who are loyal to it badly. I want to ask, what does Roebuck want?" A flash of light flashed in Xu Caifeng's eyes, "I think we can find a point of agreement, which will help for our cooperation.”
The results of Xu Caifeng's trip to the Roebuck Tribe were remarkable. The Roebuck Tribe, a once glorious and declining Baiyin tribe, simply could not stand firm under the favorable conditions offered by the empire. They knew that if the Roebuck Tribe did not Cooperating with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will look for another Boyin tribe. Until it is found, any tribe, no matter how weak, will prosper quickly with the support of the Tang Dynasty. If the Roebuck tribe loses this opportunity, it may never be able to survive. Hope of recovery. Being able to defeat the Dole tribe has always been the Roebuck tribe's dream, and this desire is even stronger than seizing land from the Puer people. This is also one of the reasons why Roebuck chose to cooperate with Datang.
The Tang Dynasty would not agree or tolerate the emergence of an independent country on the northern plains of Liberia. This was the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty. On this bottom line, the Tang Dynasty agreed to give these Baiyin people who had been humiliated by the Liberia people People are treated relatively high, which means that the Bein people will have a political advantage over the conquered Liberia people, and the Tang Dynasty will set aside part of the land in the northern part of the Liberia plain for the Bein people. They relocated from the barren and desolate Arctic mountains to live, and provided a large amount of funds and materials to allow the Boyin people to quickly enter civilized society, and to help the Boyin people catch up with other civilized peoples. Of course, the premise is that the Boyin people must compete with the Tang Dynasty. Cooperate to completely solve the Liberian problem, and at the same time, you must unconditionally obey the decrees of the central government of the Tang Empire.
The Roebuck people know that there is actually a lot to maneuver in this. The Boyin tribe is not a unified nation. The complex tribal divisions make the various tribes of the Boyin tribe actually have the same deep divide as the Indians. , especially the glorious tribes like Roebuck and Dole, it is too difficult to make them surrender to each other. They would rather surrender to the greater Tang Dynasty. The intensity of support from the Tang Dynasty will definitely not be uniform. If he wants to seize the opportunity in future development, Roebuck must take the first step, and the Dole tribe has obviously lost the trust of the Tang Dynasty. This is Roebuck's opportunity, and he must take advantage of it. grasp.
A steady stream of supplies will soon be transported to the north through the hinterland of Poole, and the Roebuck tribe will usher in unprecedented development opportunities. Of course, before that, the Roebuck tribe must hold back the only organized army of the Poole people. Now he is still hesitant, not knowing whether to continue to guard the north or to quickly return to Haisen City to prepare for Datang's revenge.
Once Wu Feng and the Government Affairs Council unified their opinions, the huge administrative agencies and armies of the Tang Empire quickly came into operation. The Third Army and a ranger regiment took the lead and soon crossed the traditional dividing line between the Tang Empire and the Kingdom of Poole. In the Kingdom of Poole, at the same time, Li Wufeng of the Tang Dynasty issued a proclamation in Zhongzhou City, the capital of the Tang Empire, requiring all personnel in the Kingdom of Poole and the Kingdom of Duodun to lay down their arms and accept the occupation of the imperial army. The treatment of Poole and Duodun will wait for the empire to implement the occupation. After that, it will be decided by the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty and the local nobles who are friendly to the Tang Dynasty. In this case, Wufeng did not dare to easily state that the Kingdom of Puer and the Kingdom of Duodun will disappear. This is too irritating language. , it is more suitable to choose some relatively neutral and vague language.
Immediately afterwards, the Ninth Army, the Eleventh Army, and the Fifteenth Army also quickly took action. Under the leadership of the two Ranger Regiments, the troops were divided into two groups. The troops marched out of Yanshan and Okhotsk, sweeping across Dongli like a hurricane. The plains of Beea. At the same time, the Roebuck tribe and the Menglai tribe of the Bein tribe in the north of Poole and Doton also began to strengthen their offensive, launching an attack southward in the northern part of the Liberia Plain to cooperate with Datang's military operations.
