Chapter 493: Oath

Bi Wenxin's troops were all destroyed, and the Dongping army had less than a hundred casualties, of which only eleven were killed. Although it was an ambush, this casualty ratio still made the guides who had suffered for many years in Bi Wenxin's hands admire the ground. After annihilation of most of Bi Wenxin's troops, the attack camp could only be regarded as a siege drill. The key point is not the attack, but gradually the opponent lost hope. Tan Weiran and Chi Lei were not the kind of generals who were good at attacking. Their encirclement was not perfect, but they had the best scout team after all. No matter how many people who were guarding the camp sent to ask for help, they were all searched and killed by them one by one, and then sent their heads back. This repeated four or five times, and the defenders, who were already at a disadvantage, finally collapsed and surrendered. Except for Bi Wenxin's troops, a total of 9,200 people killed by Bi Wenxin, the remaining 8,000 were captured.

The next work was simple. Tan Weiran and Chi Lei quickly contacted several tribes that were not far away and sent troops to assist in the escort. Tan Weiran just handed over these prisoners to the tribe. As for how many people could provide labor for tribe construction as they said, it was not his business. Annihilation of Bi Wenxin's troops, and countless various property seized. It is conceivable how corrupt their soldiers were. Although Tan Weiran and Chi Lei both refused, the tribe who were grateful to him still refused to take back all the seizures, mainly because they lacked a confirmation of the source of the property within themselves.

The mechanism of reallocation, and they also knew that Dongping's strength and the energy that would bring them to a new life in the future, and gave away most of all the seized to the Dongping army. In addition to the part distributed to the soldiers, Tan Weiran decided to use a large sum of money to hire labor and open a port that was enough to berth large warships in the shortest time in the northeastern border of Northern Liao. Although they have fought here now, the places they controlled are just enclaves for Dongping and Yunzhou. If they cannot obtain reliable supplies, it will be difficult to continue. It will be even more difficult for them to fight back the same way.

The navy, however, was ready to attack the North Liaodong Road. If the old man could obtain a support point here, there was no need to carry out complex and dangerous landing operations, but could directly establish a base in the north. Then, Tan Weiran and Chi Lei, together with the head of the navy, could form a joint command to organize tribal resistance on this land, train local soldiers, and at the same time, use materials and money to promote local circulation and improve the lives of tribal people... The premise for these goals to be achieved is that at least one port can provide sufficient supplies.

Tan Weiran and Chi Lei made such suggestions to the tribe, and naturally received a very positive response. After solving the most direct threat faced by Bi Wenxin, these poor tribes naturally knew that although this was the Dongping army showing its strength and helping them solve the threat, they also paid a letter of fame for them. It is impossible to repeatedly go between Dongping and Bei Liao. Considering the revenge of the Northern Liao that may be encountered, it is naturally not enough to have the 20,000 people in Dongping alone. Having a port for obtaining supplies and assistance is also very important for these tribes that have finally united.

After meeting with the elders of several tribes, Tan Weiran continued to visit and contact, while Chi Lei began to build a larger camp at the original site of the Biwenxin tribe. This time, he came completely according to the standards of the fortress. This would be the forefront of their resistance to the Northern Liao offensive and should not be lost. The camp was built very fast, because in just a few days, because of the common hatred of the Northern Liao royal court, the admiration for the heroes who annihilated the enemy, and the yearning for sufficient food and excellent weapons, these tribes actually pieced together an army of 25,000 people and will command the army.

The power was handed over to Chi Lei. According to them, these tribes may not be short of anything, but people. All tribes that have arrived at Dongping reinforcements have sent the strongest soldiers and the most powerful young people. Chi Lei naturally carried out his first training on the spot: physical fitness and earth and stone delivery, which is the most vigorous work. Although these tribal soldiers were quite puzzled by this, they looked at the Frost Wolf Silver Wing Army and the Jingyun Cavalry warriors on the northwest running wolf land, besides taking turns to watch the construction work, and they devoted themselves wholeheartedly.

They soon learned from their communication with the soldiers how enthusiastic about advanced construction technology was for the tribes on the Pent Wolf Field. Migration through water and grass is still the main way to grazing, and captivity is an important supplement. However, due to the peace of the four fields, a small number of herders can run a large number of herds, and the production efficiency of the animal husbandry continues to improve. The tribal warriors united to inspect the common borders, or devoted themselves to the unified war in Dongping to harvest glory and spoils, rather than consuming their power in the struggle between each other. Many of the tribes began to gradually invest in various other types.

In production and labor, due to sufficient manpower, financial and material resources, some related production technologies have improved very rapidly. For example, the original rough leather making technology has now become a systematic industry that attracts attention from the entire continent with the cooperation of many people. Some leather products have initially taken the prototype of luxury goods. Is Yunzhou the future of these ethnic minorities in northern Liaoning and northern East? This situation has made many people think deeply. But with the continuous spread of such information, Tan Weiran and Chi Lei's image as a savior is becoming more and more distinct, and the respect they have gained, their influence on these tribes is also increasing.

"Your Highness," he has been with Tan Weiran recently, responsible for introducing representatives of various tribes to him, and coordinated communication with him. Tuludan, the elder of the largest Dongba tribe in the local area. Tuludan, said in a very respectful manner today: "We sincerely invite you to participate in the swearing of the 47 tribes of the Xiang tribe, Momo tribe, and Zarga tribes. You will be our most noble guest."

Tan Weiran has long heard of the alliance oath. Basically, after the alliance oath, all tribes will unite to fight against the common enemy and unite their strength. In the history of the northeastern continent, there were only three alliance oaths in total. The first time was in the original Middle-earth Tang Dynasty, these three tribes united to fight against the army that was attacked by the Tang Dynasty; the second time was in the era of chaos on the mainland, which was to fight against the most terrifying series of natural disasters in hundreds of years. Either they all died or everyone withstand the natural disasters together, and let these tribes form deep friendships, although they would not merge because of friendship or simply become one.

Small countries, but these tribes may have different opinions since then, but they have never attacked each other, at most they were small frictions. The third time was to jointly fight against the Northern Liao attack, but that time was also a case of the first oath in history but not achieving the goal in the end. Now they invited Tan Weiran to participate in the oath, obviously all tribes have reached an agreement in private. Considering that they entered the tribal territory for so short time and were very efficient. This is partly because they were really bullied by Northern Liao, and the combat effectiveness and determination shown by Dongping this time were too strong.

"Elder Touludan, what do I need to do in the oath? We will always be your best friends and the strongest backing." Tan Weiran said modestly.

"Your Highness, you will climb up the platform surrounded by spices and torches on the oath, surrounded by the patriarchs and elders of each tribe. You will drop blood in the strong goat milk wine with the patriarchs of each tribe. After you drink the wine, you will become our master. You will gain our complete loyalty, from now on until you are summoned by the Lord of God..." Tuludan suddenly became excited when he thought of the holy oath.

"Your Highness, if the person you brave tribes are my personal loyalty, I cannot accept such an oath... I am just the representative of Dongping. Although I have been granted full authority, I can decide according to the specific circumstances how to make the tribe a powerful member of Dongping and get the generous life it deserves, but I have no right and no intention to make the tribe a private force." Tan Weiran said seriously: "I think I am willing to conduct such a ceremony, but I hope that you are loyal to Dongping, a country that will eventually unify the continent. I can assure you that if your life has not been improved, if your contributions and sacrifices you have made to Dongping are not repaid, then you must suspend such allegiance and will not be retaliated. But if you obtain what you deserve, I hope that you can always be a member of Dongping."

Tuludan was stunned for a moment, then stroked his right hand and bowed deeply. His hanging hair touched the ground. He said seriously and humbly: "As you wish." Tuludan and the elders originally felt that being loyal to him personally could greatly enhance his strength in the competition for the throne. He would also focus more on strengthening their envy. But now it seems that the royal family and country in which His Royal Highness is located do not seem to be what they measured.

"Okay, when will the alliance begin?" Tan Weiran asked with a smile. Then, he slightly strengthened his tone and asked, "So, are the forty-seven tribes... all tribes? Are there any tribes dissatisfied with the alliance? I think we need unity, and some things always need to be dealt with."

Tuludan was stunned for a moment, and he said silly: "This... Your Highness, please give them some way to live. How many tribes are there... They don't understand that Your Highness is coming sincerely."

Tan Weiran smiled and said, "Don't worry, elder, I'm not going to use my troops to wipe out. But I hope you can send a guide to take me to talk to them. That's all."

Toulundan bowed deeply again and said, "Your Highness, I will follow you."
