Chapter 70 The Initiator
"Liqi, we didn't agree to help them!"
Po Yi looked at Li Qi in surprise and said, "Their Yehu tribe is stronger than our Black Stone Valley, and the other party is four tribes. They can't beat them, how can we beat them!"
Li Qi sighed and said, "Po Yi, I am not going to help them, but to help ourselves."
Po Yi asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Taba said: "I know that those four tribes came for pots and bowls, so they will definitely come to attack us."
"Taba said it right." Li Qi nodded and said, "The fundamental reason for this battle is those pots and bowls, and the only one who can produce pots and bowls is our Black Stone Valley, so those four tribes will definitely not let us go."
"Then...what should I do?" Po Yi said in panic.
But this situation has never happened to Black Stone Valley. They dared not go out before. One of the reasons was that they were afraid of being attacked by other tribes, and this time, four tribes came.
Li Qi said: "Pu Yi doesn't need to panic. Now our Black Stone Valley is much stronger than before, so there is no need to be afraid of them at all, because we have bows, arrows, armor, and the help of the deer beasts, and then join forces with the people from the Yehu tribe, I am sure to win this battle."
"Really...really?"
Po Yi looked at Li Qi. She had no idea about strength.
Li Qi nodded and said, "Of course, if Po Yi doesn't believe it, you can ask Chi to ask."
Po Yi really didn't give him face, so he called Chi in directly. In this regard, she still trusted Chi the most.
After Chi learned about the incident, he looked at Li Qi again, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If they dare to attack us, we can definitely defeat them."
Li Qi suddenly said, "If they arrive at the door, it's possible. First of all, if we are blocked by them at the door, although it is difficult for them to attack, we can't get out again, and we can't play the advantages of our deer beasts. Also, if they use fire to attack our door, it would be bad!"
Fire Attack? He opened his eyes, and he didn't expect it at all. I guess no one could have thought of it. There were no traps these days. What about Fire Attack is really beyond their imagination. He asked Li Qi: "What do you think you should do?"
Li Qi said: "Take the initiative."
Equator: "But we are not as many as them."
Li Qi said: "You know this too. Then I think the four tribes will think so. They will definitely not think that we will take the initiative to attack, so that we can ambush them in a place and ambush them with bows and arrows, just like we set up a trap and captured deer beasts."
Chi couldn't help but think when he heard this. Li Qi's words contained military tactics. He could not fully understand it even if he was surprised and attacked him unpredictable. However, he also felt that Li Qi's words were very reasonable. More importantly, he believed that Li Qi had expected this battle, which was the main reason why he was confident that he could win.
In fact, he guessed correctly. Not only did Li Qi expect it, but he could even say that this was what he pushed behind.
When Xiaobai first proposed the concept of exchange, Li Qi had already thought that this could be used. There is a law in business that risks and interests are proportional. The higher the benefits, the greater the risks. In this era when human civilization has not yet been fully opened, the benefits of exchange are huge, because people are so fooling nowadays, but the risks are also huge, because there is no morality and ethics to bind humans.
If I can snatch it, why should I exchange it with you?
Stealing and robbing is definitely illegal and despised in later generations, but now, this is the bottom line!
The biggest obstacle to the emergence of civilization is barbarism. In fact, barbarism is a tradition. New and old forces will always struggle, and this will continue.
The first time, Li Qi exchanged with them, deliberately lowering the price of the bowl. In fact, he could negotiate a better price, but he didn't. He just wanted to give the Yehu tribe enough profit margin to instigate them to become more powerful and use exchange to plunder the resources of the other tribes. Of course, in order to make them plunder more resources at the same time, Li Qi deliberately increased the price of the pot.
But it was just a test, and Li Qi was not sure that there would be a war, but as the chicken prostitutes quickly brought more dried fish and animal skins, he already knew that the situation was moving in the direction he hoped.
Because I don’t have to think about it, Xiaobai and the others definitely did not leave those pots and bowls, but made the difference from it. They definitely exchanged all the pots and bowls for more food, and then exchanged them with Black Stone Valley. The exchange conditions given by Black Stone Valley are low, which is simply huge profit.
But even so, Li Qi was not sure that the fight would start soon, so he was preparing for both ways. On the one hand, he saved enough pottery exchanged with the Yehu tribe in advance. He firmly believed that if he continued to exchange this way, he would fight one day, otherwise the Yehu tribe might be the largest tribe. But on the other hand, he began to hoard food on a large scale to deal with the possible war.
Once the fight starts, the Yehu tribe will definitely run to the Black Stone Valley, because there are five tribes around the Yehu tribe, and four tribes will fight it, and the Black Stone Valley is the only way to go. And that night, Li Qi deliberately said that he would share weal and woe with them, but in fact, he told them that once they were beaten, they would run to the Black Stone Valley.
However, Li Qi's purpose of promoting all this was not to get out of the Black Stone Valley, because going out was meaningful and he could not wander around. The only purpose of his provocation of this struggle was to take advantage of the opportunity to merge the five tribes in one fell swoop and obtain enough productivity and means of production. After all, the Black Stone Valley was too small, with little manpower, and was closed, which was not conducive to development. No matter how good you play here, you could not play a flower. Moreover, danger always exists. Only with enough manpower can you resist a greater crisis.
Of course, Li Qi didn’t have any choice for Po Yi, because the pot and bowl came from Black Stone Valley. If you close the door, it doesn’t mean that others will not come to you.
Even if Po Yi was unwilling to do so, she could only choose to believe Li Qi, because she had no idea how to deal with the upcoming war, and Li Qi was very clear.
......
"Although the people from the Nogo tribe fled here, their number is far more than us, so we must be careful. I will let them in one by one and collect their weapons. You must also secretly instruct everyone to cheer up, not to laugh with them, and try to keep a certain distance from them. Oh, and then ask Ronghe Luang to guard the entrance of the cave later."
Li Qi walked out of the cave and instructed Chi.
Chi asked, "Do you think they were attacking us?"
If they had this IQ, they would have completed the unification long ago! Li Qi said: "As for the current situation, it is unlikely. If they really came to attack us, they should not bring women and children. But if the chicken prostitute is telling the truth, then they will attack us and cooperate with us. Obviously, cooperation with us will help them more. If they fight with us again, then when the enemy arrives, they will be powerless to resist. But this is just my guess. This is not a harmful heart, and a guard against others."
Chi nodded and said, "I get it!"
"How is it? How is it?"
The two of them had just arrived outside the cave and happened to see the chicken prostitute coming over.
Li Qi said: "Po Yi has promised to help you, but our Black Stone Valley rules cannot put down the door at night, so your people must climb up with vines."
Chicken nodded and said, "This is no problem."
Li Qi said again: "In addition, you must hand over your weapons temporarily."
The chicken prostitute was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Why?"
Li Qi said: "Because this is the latest rule in our Blackstone Valley, any outsider who enters our Blackstone Valley must hand over his weapons."
Chi had already reached out to Chicken.
"Why are there so many rules in your Black Stone Valley?" Chicken said depressedly.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, hand it over quickly. If the enemy chases you, your tribe members will be in danger."
Although the chicken prostitute was reluctant, he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he could only honestly hand over the weapon at his waist to Chi, and Chi left with the weapon.
Li Qi suddenly pulled the chicken prostitute to his side and whispered: "Chicken prostitute, tell me honestly that they are really chasing you all the time?"
Chicken said: "When...of course it is true?"
Li Qi said: "Chicken Prostitute, I am really helping you. If you lie to me, it may lead to failure."
Chicken frowned and scratched his head, saying, "Actually, we don't know. After we ran out, we didn't see them chasing each other again, but they might be behind, but we ran too fast."
How fast can you, the ones who are with your family, run! Li Qi nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, tell your tribe members and let them hand over their weapons."
Ji Zheng followed Li Qi to the front of the valley, and loudly told his tribe members that they would climb up along the rattan one by one, and then handed over all the weapons.
The people from Yehu tribe had no objection at all. As long as they could get in, they were willing to hand over their weapons and chrysanthemums, they were the first time they suffered this catastrophe, like frightened birds.
