"Festival!"
Under the old man's pretentiousness, Fang Yuan looked solemn, changed his clothes, and led Wei and other slaves to worship at the empty Temple of Heaven.
The sky has no form and the earth is boundless. Naturally, there is no need to prepare any sculptures of gods.
Maybe when you reach a higher level in the future and have a deeper understanding of heaven and earth, you can carve two oracle bones with "heaven" and "earth" on them, just like Zhen Yuanzi
Fang Yuan moved steadily, but his mind was filled with random thoughts.
Whoops!
The fire was soaring into the sky and the breeze was blowing.
At this time, it was just before darkening. At the moment when the sacrifice was over, Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed and he looked to the south, feeling a slight palpitation in his heart: "Something seems to have changed!"
"Yuan, look!"
At this time, Wei next to her took Fang Yuan's arm and shook it vigorously: "Heaven..."
"Um?"
Fang Yuan looked up and saw a cloud of red sunset clouds, changing in thousands of ways, quite beautiful, and seemed to be about to fall.
"This is God's approval of our sacrifice!"
The old priest's face turned red and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "This is the glory of our tribe!"
"Thank heaven and earth!"
Everyone saluted again, especially the leaders and warriors of several other foreign tribes, who seemed to be shocked by this scene, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"No!"
Looking at the eyes of many people with awe and joy, Fang Yuan was also very speechless in his heart: "I randomly made things for fun...how did it come true? No! It's impossible. If I have a hundred thousand people, leading the sacrifice to heaven and earth, Maybe you can still sense it, but at this point, it’s just like a child playing house, who would take it seriously?”
"Unless it was affected by something... the great changes in the south?"
Fang Yuan touched his chin and pointed at the old man: "This is a revelation given to us by God. I order you to start divination of good and bad luck immediately!"
"promise!"
The old man bowed solemnly, no longer pretending to be a ghost as before. Instead, he was really more solemn. He threw a turtle shell into the bonfire and began to pray.
Where the sky is round, the back of the turtle shell is bulging, which is the sky! The flat belly is the ground! Therefore, it can communicate with heaven and earth and is a divination spirit.
After the flames burned out, the priest looked solemnly, took out the turtle shell from the ashes, and carefully looked at the "Bu"-shaped pattern on it.
"Report to the great clan leader!"
The old priest prostrated himself on the ground and said, "According to God's revelation, there is great misfortune in the south! Good luck to us!"
"Depend on!"
Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly widened: "Okay! Have you become an official priest?"
"Yes, great clan leader!"
The old man knelt on the ground with his forehead close to the ground, tears already filling his eyes: "At the moment when I offered sacrifices to heaven and earth just now, I felt the endless and vast glory, and gained the abilities of my ancestors... The omnipotent God told me , you are the destined God of our clan, and you will lead our clan to glory!"
"Yuan!"
"Yuan!"
"Yuan!"
Many slave warriors cheered together, and even many tribesmen from Baishan, Blackwater, and Xuandu tribes shouted loudly.
In this wave, the faces of the three tribal leaders were extremely ugly for a moment, and they had to grit their teeth and squeeze out a smile: "Great leader Yuan, we are willing to surrender at your feet. The three hundred warriors you requested will be here soon. I will come to you and wait for orders!"
"good!"
Fang Yuan agreed, looking a little embarrassed.
"What is this? Making a lie come true?"
…
With the success of the sacrifice to heaven and the reverence of the ancestors for heaven and earth, Fang Yuan's rule suddenly became stable.
On the second day, the 300 people promised by each tribe arrived, gathered the original slaves, formed an army of 1,000 people, and began training.
With strong force deterrence, all affairs immediately got on the right track, and more savages from various places took refuge, and Fangshan gradually developed.
Fang Yuan just paid some attention casually and no longer took care of the specific affairs, instead leaving them to the girl Wei.
Anyway, this small fiefdom management is just a fun strategic game for him, and the strength it can provide is limited.
As time went by, news from the south continued to reach here.
"The Jiuli tribe raised an army, with Xing as its leader, and sent out an army of 50,000, and destroyed the Zhuri tribe in three days?"
"The four regions of Great Xia are unstable. The Kuai tribe in the west, the Sangjie tribe in the east, and the Hule tribe in the north have all rebelled?"
"Monster clans are rising everywhere, and the flood will destroy the world again, but the scope is limited to Daxia?"
…
Fang Yuan picked a blue berry and put it into his mouth. As soon as he bit it with his teeth, the sweet and sour juice immediately overflowed and blended with the mellow pulp. It tasted very good: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters all come together. ah!"
If most other countries encounter this, it is inevitable that their vitality will be severely damaged due to internal and external troubles, and there may even be the disaster of national subjugation.
But for Daxia, it's just a minor problem - if the hidden Hidden Dragon Guard doesn't take action.
"Yuan! You still have the heart to eat here!"
Wei Fengfeng ran in angrily: "As the lord of Xia, I will definitely call you when the war begins!"
"Uh-huh!"
Fang Yuan picked up another bunch of cranberries: "How is the training of our army? And... Are the Greek fires ready?"
"As you said, there are five people in the unit, five captains and ten captains, who are selected by the soldiers themselves through competition or recommendation. There are also ten centurions above, who are appointed by us personally. Each one has different treatment... and Greek fire has been tested and it can indeed burn on water and is difficult to extinguish. A centurion was specially selected to wield this weapon!"
Wei said, with a look of eagerness on her face.
"Your Majesty! The envoy from Xia Kingdom has arrived!"
At this time, the priest Lao Cheng led another envoy from the Xia Kingdom in. This envoy was dressed in dark black clothes and walked in a hurry. He was obviously very urgent. When he saw Fang Yuan, he immediately presented the dominoes in his hand.
"Well, Xia Wangxi ordered me to send troops immediately. First, join the northern army, defeat the Hule tribe, and then immediately support Yangcheng! Of course... I am the commander!"
Fang Yuan looked at the oracle bone inscriptions on the bone plate.
In fact, there was also a divine thought from the Dream Master, which brought him more information and tasks.
"Although these thousand soldiers are all newly trained, there is no time. Let them form a team immediately and prepare to go!"
"Well, I'm going too! I'm going too!"
Wei shouted, raising her hands.
"Okay, you can go too, but only for the Hule tribe. Don't go to Yangcheng!"
Fang Yuan nodded and made his decision.
…
North of Daxia.
The terrain suddenly became open and flat, and low shrubs and grasslands could be seen everywhere as far as the eye could see.
On the fertile grassland, a tribe appeared, with more than 100,000 people, herds of cattle and sheep, and the whole area was dark. At this time, they were leaving their tents and migrating to the south.
"Our Hule tribe was also Xia's ally at the beginning. Why can we only get such barren land in the northern grassland after delimiting the nine states?"
"Not only can't we grow food, but many clan members freeze to death every winter! This is all the Xia clan's fault!"
"Yes, so we are going to the south and rob them of everything!"
…
"Haha, great Lord of Shepherd, look, your people are yearning for everything in the south!"
In the leading cavalry, a man wrapped in a black robe laughed in a deep voice, as if two dots of green flames were shooting out of the cloak.
"Don't worry, since we have agreed to form an alliance, our Hule tribe will definitely not break the alliance!"
The leader of the Hule Tribe, Mu, looked to be in his forties, with slightly frosty temples but a very rosy complexion.
"Herdsman, please rest assured, as long as you complete the agreement, we will definitely hand over all the land north of Yangcheng to you!"
The man in black robe said happily.
After a moment, Mu waved his hand and galloped forward on his horse.
"Mu... I never question your decision, but this time the entire tribe goes south to compete with the Xia people... it is really too risky!"
As soon as the rider came to his side, the old man on top said seriously.
"Our shaman worshiped Lan Tian and got auspicious results... What is there to worry about this time?"
When Mu said this, he smiled secretly, like a wolf: "I know that no matter the Jiuli, Xia, Sangjie or other tribes in the south, they are actually our enemies... Hehe... What north of Yangcheng All the land will be handed over to us, we don’t need it! We, the people of the Hule tribe, are born to be people on horseback, we only want grassland!”
As a heroic leader, he has clearly felt the cultural differences, and he has no idea of submitting to the order of the Xia Kingdom. He only wants to maintain it and protect this very important thing.
"Then why are we going south?"
The old man was a little confused.
"How do hunters on the grassland hunt? They keep coming forward, bleeding their prey, and driving them to run for survival. Instead, they use up the last bit of life and pocket the prey without danger. The same is true for us!"
Mu bit open the leather bag in his hand and drank strong wine: "This time when we go to the south, we have to plunder a lot. Otherwise, how will we survive the winter on the grassland? If the Xia Kingdom is weakened this time, then we will have to fight every year in the future. Do this and keep bleeding it! One day, I want the Xia King to recognize my status as the King Beyond the Wall!"
There are others, but I hide them in my heart and don’t say them.
Once the tribe's strength is completely stabilized and Xia falls into four wars and is continuously weakened, it can formally establish a country, and even use its own grassland culture to cannibalize the culture of the Central Plains, and truly take over the Central Plains!
Although this day may be very long, he has a wolf-like character and perseverance!
"good!"
After hearing this, the old man sighed silently: "I originally thought that you were deceived by the messenger, but now it seems that, Mu, you are still our wisest leader! Don't worry, the leaders and shamans in the tribe will all I fully support you!”
"very good!"
Mu Daxi said: "You have to believe me, Mu swears! I will definitely lead our entire tribe to the best life!"
Even become the king of Kyushu!
He said firmly in his heart.
