In this battle, Gray Wolf's team lost five or six hundred cavalrymen, and the Thunder God Tribe also lost one or two thousand men. The Thunder God Tribe, with its steady position, could have counterattacked and even annihilated the remaining Sea Tribe cavalrymen. Again, it was pointless. What good would it do to annihilate the remaining thousand or so Sea Tribe cavalrymen?
Strategically, the Thunder God Tribe has failed, and Thunder is not an irrational person.
Besides, even if there were only a thousand Sea Tribe cavalrymen on the other side, if they really wanted to annihilate them, there would probably be only a few people left in the Thunder God Tribe. The Sea Tribe could afford the losses, but the Thunder God Tribe couldn't. In terms of foundation (strength), the Thunder God Tribe was far inferior to the Sea Tribe.
"That's good too. After all, the difference in military strength is too big." Ma Yue did not deny Wolf's achievements. The Thunder God Tribe is not like those rubbish armies on the East China Sea Island. The Thunder God Tribe has fought many bloody battles and has many veterans.
"Shuichong, transport troops to Lingguo Island."
"I'll arrange it right away." Everything before and after this war was planned. Having just experienced a major battle, Luo Baidai's cavalry brigade couldn't return to Lingguo Island for the time being, so they could only transfer troops from Haifan City to fill the vacancies of the Lingguo Island branch.
It doesn't matter. Haifan City doesn't lack soldiers, so we can just transport 3,000 regular and deputy soldiers. As for large livestock, there's no rush for them. The Lingguo Island branch isn't cultivating the land this season. Therefore, transporting 3,000 soldiers doesn't require much transportation capacity.
Of course, Lingguo Island cannot be staffed entirely by infantry, so just send 500 donkeys.
The Sea Tribe had been involved in a lot of internal turmoil and turmoil for this war. Fortunately, the war was finally won, which made it all worth it.
Winning a battle and losing a battle are two completely different things. If you lose, you can only run! If I win, I have the right to reap the spoils. For example, if Luo Bai's army wins a battle, they will reap a large number of donkeys, which are of terrifying value.
Does the Sea Tribe lack large livestock? They certainly don't, and they don't mind having too many. The Second Priest has set an example in Sea God City. No matter how many large livestock there are, they won't waste them. They'll cooperate in business. There are countless tribes willing to cooperate with the Sea Tribe. The Sea Tribe can produce large livestock and copper plowshares, which means the output will double or triple. It's a great deal.
Under Ma Yue's deliberate guidance, the news of the battle between the Sea Tribe and the Thunder God Tribe spread like wildfire.
"The Thunder God Tribe has colluded with 5,000 grassland cavalrymen from the south!" This news was shocking, but it was easy to find out. Such a large cavalry battle, even if it was far south, would have seen many people from other small tribes.
As Luo Bai's army joined the southern branch and returned to Haifan City with the captives, the victory of the Hai tribe was confirmed.
Ma Yue spread the news here to say, "Everyone, come to this warm area and farm well. Our Sea Tribe welcomes you." However, if you try to collude with outsiders to target our Sea Tribe, I will destroy you. Isn't that right?
We are right!
Are primitive people still reasonable? Ma Yue doesn't care. The Hai tribe is reasonable and they keep their promises (depending on the situation).
The price of being reasonable is that they have harvested a large number of donkeys and found partners. Again, there are many tribes willing to cooperate with the Hai Tribe on farming. Ma Yue can simply hand this matter over to Wu Qi and Yizi of the North and South branches.
We, the Hai Tribe, provide the large livestock and copper plowshares, and you, the Cooperative Tribe, provide the manpower. Cooperation is as simple as that: each side gets half the harvest. Only a fool wouldn't do that.
Why did Ma Yue assign this cooperative farmland business to the North and South branches? The goal was to expand large-scale farming further south and north. The area between the North and South branches was to be kept free of other tribes, essentially all territory for the Hai Tribe to develop in the future.
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng had already returned to the Lingguo Island branch; Wu Xiaodong and Huojiandao had also returned to the northern branch; Shan Yao and Tiedan finally sent the latest battle report from there, and the last large group of 300 cavalrymen who had fled the grasslands also came out to surrender.
How can we farm in peace over there if we don’t wipe out these deserting grassland soldiers?
"Satisfied? Comfortable?"
"No... charlatan, we really learned our lesson." Gray Wolf and Luo Bai sat in front of Ma Yue awkwardly.
"Especially you!" Ma Yue slapped Luo Bai on the head.
"God of war, I know I was wrong. Sending troops to the East China Sea Island actually has no benefits. I heard that the salt production from boiling seawater there is not as good as ours."
"Hear? Why didn't you hear it earlier?"
"I..." Luo Bai was extremely embarrassed. "Spiritual charlatan, I understand now. War requires overall consideration. In the past, I didn't pay enough attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Spiritual charlatan, don't worry. This time, I will devote myself to hanging out with the three priests and guarantee that I will be a leader with comprehensive knowledge!"
"You're smart!" Ma Yue sat down again angrily, "And you!" Ma Yue looked at Wolf.
"Understood! As a senior general of our army, you cannot simply consider military issues. The military serves the economy..."
"It's good that you realize this. We don't fight just for the sake of fighting. You're standing at a different level, so you need to consider things more comprehensively. In this regard, you two are far inferior to Shuichong. Do you expect me to rely on Shuichong to conquer the world..."
Now that Ma Yue had said this, Big Bad Wolf and Luo Bai felt even more ashamed.
"Overall, you performed quite well in this battle." Ma Yue did not deny the achievements of Luo Bai and Gray Wolf. "Our Sea Tribe has grown, and there will be more and more things to do in the future. The Second and Third Priests are also getting old...you should be more careful."
After being scolded by the charlatan, Wolf and Luo Bai became more aware of the charlatan's expectations of them. In addition to fighting, they need to be able to do more work.
