The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Chapter 26: surrounding situation

Views:

After pacifying the two tribes of Mengla and Aisen, no one in the surrounding twenty miles should be able to threaten themselves. All the tribes were wiped out by themselves, and no one escaped.

Then, the news that a tribe of yellow-skinned people unified the area twenty miles around should not spread within ten days.

Among barbarian tribes that are barbaric and backward and full of bloody ideas, they attach great importance to the concept of territory, because territory represents food, and food is related to the survival of a tribe.

Therefore, for anyone who is not from the tribe and rushes into the tribe's territory rashly, unless he is a messenger sent by his own alliance, he can be killed on the spot without asking about the situation.

Therefore, under such circumstances and customs, all barbarians dare not rush to other people's tribes, lest they cause disputes, lose their lives in vain, and may even cause a war between the two tribes without any reason. Go get this trouble.

With this premise, Zhong Yu naturally unified the surrounding plains and put on the best veil. Let him have more time and add more strength to resist the crazy counterattack of the Edla Tribe Alliance.

Communication among the savages was pitiful, but it was better now. At the very least, at the beginning of each year, all tribal leaders must go to the main camp of the tribal alliance for a meeting.

In other words, it is a different kind of allegiance, loyal to the leader of the tribal alliance, expressing one's loyalty, and on this basis, discussing how to fight against the other two large forces in the new year!

Under other circumstances, no one who is the messenger of the leader of the Evil Alliance can go to the territories of other alliance tribes at will. This is also a measure taken by the alliance leader to prevent other tribal chains from joining forces and seizing their own authority.

So he strongly supports and encourages this custom. Under these circumstances, all tribes maintained greater autonomy.

However, due to the lack of information and communication, they stayed at an extremely backward level of civilization. Except for their considerable military advantage, they were not as good as the other two major forces anywhere else.

The only reason why it can be retained and continue to survive is that in addition to the need for a buffer and balance between the other two major forces, there is also the fact that within this alliance, because the tribe has considerable autonomy, there are warriors with very high fighting will. .

These warriors deeply understand that they are fighting not for the leader of the alliance, but for the survival of their own tribe.

They cannot lose. Once they lose, their tribe will be destroyed and they will become slaves of the other two forces and be tortured and humiliated by them in every possible way.

Therefore, all the tribes who knew this fact fought fiercely during the war, and their fighting power was beyond the limit, which made the other two major forces very afraid and did not dare to force them too much.

Therefore, this tribal alliance is regarded as a very backward and isolated force, but it still exists as the third largest force in the Lost Plains.

From this, after obtaining the surrender of all the leaders of the Mengla tribe, Zhong Yu knew the approximate forces on this plain and the special habits of this force in his area.

A trace of greed and endless ambition appeared in his heart uncontrollably. In such a backward and poorly informed place, there is no intention of communicating or building roads.

This Edra Tribal Alliance is not the best stepping stone for me, the best resource for me to rise in the Lost Plains.

As long as I can be on his body, silently sucking his bone marrow and devouring his essence, I can become the fourth largest force in this plain.

With the blocked communication with them, he can also absorb the news of its essence for himself, that is, annexing the small tribes under his alliance, with enough time to buffer, and not being known by all the big forces.

Coincidentally, after their resistance and their own killings, the Aisen tribe's population was only fifty or sixty people. Even if the Mengla tribe was added, the population was only one hundred, seventy-eighty.

For me who urgently needs population to upgrade her territory, it is still too sparse and cannot provide enough motivation for her rapid development.

He lives in the upgraded territory of 1,000 households, with a population of 5,000, and there is still a gap of about 2,400 people. He happens to be in this backward place, and through the inconvenience of transportation, he uses the inconvenience of transportation to cover himself up and swallow up the news of those small tribes.

Through the conversation with the high priest of the Mongla tribe and the confirmation of the chief elder. Zhong Yu preliminarily determined that the territory of this Edra tribal alliance was approximately the size of five or six prefecture-level cities in the previous life.

The population is approximately 250,000 to 600,000. Although it is somewhat smaller than the more than 300,000 of the other two major forces, it is still enough for this force to survive in this plain.

And the position he was in was at the very back of the Edra Tribe Alliance. He was not connected to any force. There was an endless forest behind him, and no one could cross it. If you enter this forest rashly, you will be blinded by the endless green and lose your direction.

Therefore, the Edra Alliance is still very relieved about their rear area. They firmly believe that no one can cross the jungle to sneak attack on their rear area. Endless creatures will teach them that this is not something that mortals can play. restricted area.

In addition to this being the rear area, he is also the most backward place among all the men who love. Being in a relatively safe environment and living a long and comfortable life, they have lost the motivation to move forward.

They only need to hunt to continue the survival of the tribe, which makes them lose their desire for territory. Therefore, they reject all foreign things and stick to their own traditions.

Except when summoned by the leader of the alliance, they never go out. They stick to their tribal territory and forbid anyone from approaching their tribe to ensure the purity and safety of their tribe.

And this is exactly what Zhong Yu wants to see. The further behind they fall, the weaker their resistance becomes. The more you deny entry to outsiders and prohibit all communication, the longer you can hide the news that you have annexed them.

Zhong Yu believed that even if he annexed the alliance's population of 50,000 to 60,000, it would still be 1/3 or 1/4 of the territory. At that time, the entire alliance may suddenly realize that such a behemoth has risen unknowingly behind them.

As for this buffering time, as long as you move fast enough, do it covertly enough, and don't let any tribe members go to report the news, then this period of time will be enough to last for more than half a year.

It was not until he was about to attend the annual meeting of the tribal alliance that all the alliance tribes were summoned by the alliance leader. Messengers kept traveling among the various tribes, colluding, and others discovered the strange situation behind them.

At that time, he had become the leader of a force with tens of thousands of people and perhaps tens of thousands of troops. According to the rules of the system, the owner of 1,000 households with 5,000 people will have 100 luck points every month, which can be exchanged for soldiers, which can be exchanged for 200 ordinary soldiers. On the second battlefield, I saw some bloody veterans.

And if there are tens of thousands of households and 50,000 people, then 1,000 luck points can be produced in one month, which can be exchanged for 2,000 ordinary soldiers. Of course, Zhong Yu cannot have 50,000 people at once. This is a slow process. A slow accumulation process.

However, more than half a year was enough for him to exchange for several thousand ordinary soldiers. Coupled with several lottery draws and the slave army composed of the tribes he conquered, he could still have ten to twenty thousand soldiers and horses.

At that time, with these trained and well-equipped soldiers as the foundation and those tribal servants as the wings, an extremely powerful force can be formed. Even if he allied with the Edra tribe and fought a battle, Zhong Yu would not show any fear.
