Chapter 187 Old Man Che's Calculation
Old Man Che sighed and said, "Family scandals were not made public, but now the Three Yi tribes are at the critical moment of life and death. I don't care about any family scandals or family scandals!"
When Chief Shen heard this, he curled his lips disdainfully and thought to himself: Who is Old Man Che? As an old opponent, I don’t know? He said so righteously, he must have had some problems and he couldn’t solve them himself. However, Chief Shen also understood that this matter might really involve the Sanyi tribe, otherwise Old Man Che would not dare to act like this.
Old Man Che did not notice what the chiefs of the Sanyi tribes he invited thought. In fact, he didn't have the intention. When he thought of the things that day, he could only say that he was full of bitterness. "That was three days ago, and an army suddenly appeared in the forest that day..."
This old man Che is naturally the chief of the Dong'an tribe. He exaggerated the incident that day. At the end, he sighed and said, "You guys probably don't feel much when you hear this. Yesterday, a tribe member ran away to report to me, saying that this army was a Han army that had recently combined several Shanyue people, and they came to wipe out us under the order of the Emperor Zhou!"
"Impossible?" Chief Shen was the first to question. Although the other chiefs did not question, they knew that they were almost the same as Chief Shen with their expressions. Although the Sanyi tribe is located in a remote place, the news is quite well-informed. Every year, merchants from Wu and Yue come to buy and sell, and they get a lot of news about the world from them, knowing that the Zhou emperor is no longer as usual and is already in a dilemma.
Besides, although the Dongyi tribe and the Zhou Dynasty are considered a feud, that was also before the Western Zhou Dynasty. Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Dongyi has gradually declined. Even the Xu Kingdom, which was the most powerful among the Dongyi, once fought to the Yellow River and received tribute from the thirty-six Dongyi countries, was destroyed by the Wu Kingdom twenty-three years ago. The Dongyi can be said to have nothing to do with it. The Zhou emperor was not better than the Dongyi, and he could be called a brother and brother in trouble. He could not take care of himself, and he had time to settle the score with the remnants of the Dongyi.
Chief Shen and the others guessed it right. The old man in the car was composed by himself. Not to mention that the Han Dynasty asked the Sanyi tribe to settle the score, even the so-called tribe members came to report the news was fake.
Now Dong'an Ministry is in military management, and no one who goes out of the city is allowed to leave the city except those who go out of the city. In addition, one group of ten people is implemented, and a system of joint seats is implemented. Once one person leaves, all the people in the same group will be executed. Moreover, there are at least seven people in each group with their families in the city. I am afraid that even if someone is willing to join the old man with a family, the other seven people in the city are unwilling to do so, and they may even send this person to the Han army.
As for Old Man Che's idea, it was very simple. It exaggerated that other tribes of the Sanyi tribe could form a coalition to attack the Han army stationed in Dong'an City. After defeating the Han army, in order to restrain other tribes, most tribes would probably want to roughly maintain their original structure. Old Man Che naturally continued to be the chief of his Dong'an tribe and re-enter Dong'an City. Of course, it would be a heavy bleeding to appease these tribes that sent troops, but it would not be more miserable than nothing now, right?
Besides, if many tribes were severely damaged in the battle, causing a certain tribe to dominate and seize Dong'an City, Old Man Che would have received some supplements. Maybe in order to win over the hearts of the people, Old Man Che would also be allowed to serve as a titular and sub-scheming. Although he had no power, he could live his life safely for the rest of his life, which was better than living under someone else's house now.
As for Hou Xiong, he was a bit unlucky. His tribe was about fifty miles away from the Dong'an tribe. One corner of the earthen city that Yang Zilu saw was the city owned by the Hou Xiong tribe. If the Han army had established a foothold in Dong'an City and was so close, he would have thought about Hou Xiong with his toes. If the Han army attacked him, Hou Xiong would definitely be the first unlucky person, so he put in so much effort to help Old Man Che. Of course, only Old Man Che and Hou Xiong knew about these reasons for the time being, and others might not think of the passages here for a while.
In order to cover up, Old Man Che and Hou Xiong had already thought about symmetry, and even thought about how to answer several times. So as soon as Chief Shen finished speaking, Old Man Che said without thinking: "That's because the Emperor Zhou wanted to make things difficult for the Han Kingdom, and at the same time, he wanted to spread his prestige. And according to my tribe, if the Han Kingdom subdued our Dongyi in Yangzhou, the Emperor Zhou would have to confer the king of Han Kingdom as Fang Bo! And if our Sanyi tribe was pacified, he could be awarded the title of Earl!"
Although Fang Bo has the word Bo, he is an official position. Fang Bo has great power. He guards the side and exercises power on behalf of the emperor. The overlord was derived from Fang Bo. When the Zhou Dynasty was strong, Fang Bo rarely appeared, but now the Zhou emperor is in decline, and it is a common thing to enthrone Fang Bo.
In order to demonstrate the majesty of the Zhou emperor, maybe the Zhou emperor would really do such a thing. After all, the overlord, the position equivalent to the uncrowned king, was given, and the Zhou emperor would not be stingy with such a false reputation as Fang Bo. For a moment, the chiefs took care of each other and didn't know what to do.
"Is this true?" After a long silence, a chief asked hesitantly.
Old Man Che and Hou Xiong were immediately excited when they heard this. They were not afraid of anyone asking, but they were most afraid of continuing to remain silent like this. You must know that they were itchy just now, but they were not easy to speak. Hou Xiong said first: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the corner tower of the North Gate City to take a look! You will know the matter!"
As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is true. The chiefs didn't care about the delicacies that Hou Xiong had just sent him. Everyone came to the corner tower on the north gate wall. Although the distance was far, they could still see the Han army's barracks.
The Han army was training at this time, and this was ordered by Yang Zilu. Because at this moment, there are 300 volunteer soldiers in the army who have not experienced the war. Whether it is to prevent them from being bored or to strengthen civil combat effectiveness, letting the Han army come out for exercise is the best way.
Because of the distance, you can only see a large camp and an army training outside. The chiefs didn't know that the camp had been basically cleared. They immediately took a breath, thinking that the army outside was only part of the Han army. So in their hearts, the number of the Han army immediately rose to at least 2,000.
This is amazing! Two thousand people, it is definitely impossible to deal with the Dong'an Ministry. It seems that the words Old Man Che said are true!
