"Puff—" The patriarch of the Li tribe vomited blood in anger, his pupils dilated, and he lost his breath completely.
Su Xun took a deep breath, closed his eyes for him, stood up, and said in a low voice, "The seven patriarchs used their bodies to block the arrows in order to save the lonely king. With this feeling and intention, the lonely king will not let you down. Gu will definitely avenge you! !"
"Come on! Immediately blockade the entire Xia Kingdom, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the assassin! Gu will use his head to pay homage to the seven patriarchs!"
The seven patriarchs died, King Xia was furious, and ordered the streets and alleys of Xia Kingdom to be filled with soldiers to patrol.
The assassin was caught in just one day.
These assassins were actually the bodyguards brought by the patriarchs to Xia Guo this time.
According to their confession, they were bought by Xu Yizhong, a barbarian from the north. This time, they wanted to provoke a war among the eight tribes by assassinating Su Xun.
Anyone with a brain can see that this statement is full of loopholes, but it doesn't matter, if Su Xun says it is true, then it is true.
Su Xun sent Mo and other seven people who were sent to Xia Guo undercover to return to their respective tribes with missions and soldiers.
Before they came to Xia Kingdom, they were all highly valued by the patriarch, and they had a high status and prestige in the tribe.
Now that the patriarch is dead, with their prestige in their respective tribes, coupled with the various preferential treatments promised by the Xia Kingdom, it is not difficult to get the various tribes to agree to join the Xia Kingdom.
What's more, there were [-] fully armed soldiers following Mo and others back together.
Materials represent the wealth of Xia Kingdom, all kinds of preferential treatment represent Xia Kingdom’s sincerity to them, and soldiers represent Xia Kingdom’s force. This is a combination of hard and soft means.
While waiting for Mo and others to bring back good news, Su Xun began to implement currency reform in the country.
Thanks to his unique prestige in Xia country, the people of Xia country trust him very much.
So the implementation of the currency went very smoothly.
...............
December.
Mo returned to the tribe of Li with five hundred Xia soldiers and missionaries.
Looking at the soldiers in iron armor and holding iron guns, the people in the Li tribe were a little intimidated.
In particular, there are one hundred cavalry among the five hundred soldiers, which gave them a strong sense of oppression.
"Mo, why are you back, where is the patriarch?"
The four more prestigious members of the clan came to see Mo. Like Mo, they were the ones who had the best chance of inheriting the position of the patriarch after the death of the old patriarch.
"The patriarch is dead." Mo said directly.
"what!"
"How did the patriarch die?"
"In the end what happened?"
The four of them were shocked instantly. After all, the patriarch died so suddenly, why did he die?
Grinning his gaze across the four people: "The patriarch was invited to visit Xia, and King Xia personally greeted him. Unexpectedly, an assassin would assassinate him, and the patriarch died while blocking an arrow for King Xia."
The four of them looked weird when they heard this.
Will the patriarch block arrows for King Xia?
What a joke.
"The patriarch died blocking arrows for King Xia, and King Xia was deeply moved. He promised the patriarch to take good care of the people of the Li tribe, and sent me to relocate the people to the Xia country."
Mo Mo's tone was calm, like a ruthless line reciting machine, because these four people were all dead.
"Grinding! What do you mean!"
"The patriarch was killed by King Xia, right? You betrayed the patriarch and the tribe!"
"King Xia wants to annex us, and even wants us to take the initiative to send him to his door, don't even think about it!"
"That's right, we won't agree! We're going to launch an army against Xia to avenge the patriarch!"
The four of them realized what was going on in an instant, and they reacted very strongly. After all, they all might become patriarchs, so they naturally didn't want to sit back and watch the tribe be annexed by Xia Guo.
"I don't expect you to agree either."
Mo and the others said something calmly.
"Ta Ta Ta Ta..."
Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, more than a dozen Xia soldiers with iron guns rushed in.
"Grinding! What are you doing!"
The four of them panicked instantly.
Mo didn't say a word, just walked outside.
"Ah!" "Grind! You will die!"
"You traitor!" "Ah!"
After a while, there were several screams in the room, and a strong smell of blood wafted out from inside.
Then Mo called all the clansmen who fell.
"People of the tribe, the patriarch died two months ago to save King Xia. King Xia was deeply moved and promised the patriarch to help him take good care of you before he died."
boom!
The people of the Li tribe exploded in an instant.
"So, I came back this time to migrate the tribe to the Xia Kingdom. When I went to the Xia Kingdom, everyone could eat millet and meat. The soldiers could wear iron armor and ride war horses. Everyone had a house, land and women... ..."
Mo began to describe the beautiful life of Xia Guo to everyone. These are indeed there, but they need to be exchanged by their own labor. He is not a lie.
Following Mo's description, everyone gradually quieted down, their eyes filled with yearning and confusion.
"Besides our Li tribe, there are six other tribes. If we go late, Xiaguo's house will be divided, and we won't have our share!"
Hearing this, everyone was refreshed in an instant, they didn't think about anything, they went to talk first, and if they were not satisfied, they just ran back.
After all, the appearance of those soldiers from the Xia Kingdom cannot be deceived, and the millet snow salt is not fake either.
Just like Mo, other tribes also adopted this similar method to kill those who opposed them, and then half-coaxed and half-deceived the tribe to Xiaguo.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1190
In March of the third year of the Xia calendar, seven large and medium-sized tribes migrated to Xia, with a total of 23 people.
There are also various small tribes attached to the seven medium-sized tribes, with a total of more than 6 people.
At this time, Xia Guo already had three cities.
In addition to the Linshui City built to the uppermost reaches, there is also a Chang'an City built downstream.
These two cities are centered on Xiacheng, about half a month away from Xiaguo.
When the straight road is built, the journey can be shortened to ten days.
In the future, the city will continue to be built, and the walled city will be completely abolished. Both citizens and wild people will move into the city to live, but they will enjoy different benefits.
Today's Xia State has 34 soldiers, Su Xun recruits another [-] soldiers, and Xia State has [-] soldiers.
The five armies of Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong, and Baihu Yulin have expanded to [-] each, with [-] cavalry and [-] standing troops dedicated to defending the city.
This winter is the day of the Beihai League. The [-] army trained for half a year is enough to level the grassland and deter all the tribes in the south.
...............
star tribe.
None of the medium-sized tribes came to offer gifts this winter, making Xing very puzzled.
So years ago, people were sent to various tribes to inquire, and the people who were sent out until today came back.
"The patriarch, the seven medium-sized tribes and the small tribes attached to them have all integrated into the Xia Kingdom. Now the Xia Kingdom has at least 35 people, not weaker than us."
"What!" Xing's eyes widened instantly, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.
He knew about the news that the Star Tribe had annexed the Fire Tribe, but he didn't expect that the other seven medium-sized tribes had all been annexed by the Xia Kingdom so soon.
Now Xia Guo has 35 people, and their star tribe only has nearly 40 people.
Xia Guo is now a big tribe.
No wonder no tribe came to present gifts this year, not only this year, but there will never be any more in the future.
There are mixed feelings in Xing's heart. More than two years ago, Xia Kingdom was still a small tribe with a population of just over a thousand.
But now, in less than three years, Xia Guo has grown into a big tribe comparable to the Star Tribe.
On the other hand, the Star Tribe, although it has not weakened in the past two years, has not made any breakthroughs.
"Patriarch! Xia Guo wantonly annexed our affiliated tribes, and simply ignored our star tribe. I propose to send troops to attack Xia Guo!"
"Patriarch, absolutely not. The Xia Kingdom is not weaker than us now, and the Beihai Alliance is coming soon. Reckless use of swords at this time will only allow the barbarians to take advantage."
"Then just sit back and watch Xia Guo be so presumptuous? A small tribe has climbed over us now!"
"Okay, shut up!" Xing interrupted everyone, and let out a sigh of relief: "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more. The most important thing now is the Beihai Alliance. After the Civil War, we will settle the matter with Xia Guo." account!"
He definitely couldn't swallow this tone, Su Xun had to give them an explanation to the Star Tribe.
The North Sea Alliance is coming soon, and he doesn't want to consume the strength of the Star Tribe and Xia Kingdom, lest the barbarians be taken advantage of.
But after defeating the barbarians, the Star Tribe will fight Xia Guo with all their strength.
Xia Guo developed so fast and its foundation was unstable, it was absolutely impossible for them to be their star tribe's opponent.
...............
July in the third year of the lunar calendar.
At this time, Xia Guo already had five cities, and the cities were connected by straight roads, which greatly shortened the distance.
There are 30 iron spears, [-] iron knives, [-] iron swords, [-] wooden traps, [-] arrows, [-] horses, and [-] armors.
These are all prepared for the Beihai League, and they are all of Xia Guo's inventory over the years.
At this time, on the Xiacheng Plain, [-] infantry and [-] cavalry stood quietly in a square formation.
Dozens of large black-bottomed dragon-patterned summer flags fluttered high in the air, rattling by the wind.
"woo woo woo woo……"
The low sound of horns spread across the Xiacheng Plain.
Su Xun led a group of generals galloping out of Xiacheng on horses, and arrived in front of the army formation.
"The blue-eyed barbarians in the north plundered south every year, raped my compatriots, killed my compatriots, and used our southerners as food. Their crimes are unforgivable, and they can only be repaid with blood. Today, all tribes will join forces in the North Sea to fight against the barbarians. The sky is a lesson, The sun and the moon can prove that Gu, Xia Wangxun, will not return until he breaks the barbarians!"
After the words fell, Su Xun drew his long sword out of its sheath, reined in his horse and galloped to the front of the formation: "Xia Guowu soldier!"
"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"
The roar of mountain torrents and tsunami rushed straight into the sky, the army was filled with murderous aura, and the army was as powerful as thunder.
"Let's go!" Su Xun gave an order.
"Wang Ling, go out!
"Wang Ling, go out!"
The messengers shouted in unison, passing on Su Xun's orders layer by layer, and the army slowly moved north.
10 soldiers, plus [-] civilian husbands, a total of nearly [-] people, almost exhausting the power of the country.
Now there are only [-] standing troops left in the country.
But this time, Su Xun was not worried. The northern expedition to the barbarians this winter was an agreement between all the big tribes, and no one would fight a civil war at this time.
Starting now, we will be able to arrive at the meeting place around December, a total of nearly half a year's journey.
There are also some large tribes that are farther away from the meeting point, and they have already set off a year ago.
This time, the entire southern tribe gathered an army of nearly one million, just to completely solve the scourge of the barbarians.
