After walking for a while, Hou Wenjie returned to the Great Witch Temple!
Hou Wenjie is not worried about the outcome of the team led by Gu Chui!
The best weapons, the best training, a systematic set of tactics, and the best logistics!
If such a configuration still cannot achieve a great victory over the Jishui clan, then Guchui will have no choice but to atone with his death.
Hou Wenjie now needs to consider that after merging with the Jishui clan, the alliance's population will increase dramatically again!
The old method of bartering needs to be changed!
He plans to issue the first set of currency!
With these thoughts in mind, he began to write a few large characters on the surface of a blank book: "Money and Economics"!
Issuing currency is an inevitable trend! This allows for timely understanding of people's livelihoods and regulation of the economy!
This will also allow more resources to be used rationally!
Furthermore, as the Zhuxia Alliance grows stronger, Zhuxia's currency will become a powerful tool for reaping the wealth of surrounding tribes!
Hou Wenjie does not intend to make this book too complicated.
He wanted to write a book that most people could understand.
Make it clear to most of the alliance that he is setting a standard!
The price of all goods will be quantified under the monetary system!
Who could refuse such a useful tool?
Hou Wenjie wrote down his thoughts line by line on the paper.
Meanwhile, as Drummer hurried along, he glanced at the clock and ordered, "Speed up! We'll cook a meal near the boundary marker at the foot of Mangshan!"
At his command, the troops marched rapidly and soon arrived at the foot of Mangshan Mountain.
The transport team soldiers began carrying food, while the cooks quickly cleaned and cooked it!
Soon, every soldier was enjoying a delicious wild vegetable and meat soup!
In addition, there was smoked fish prepared earlier!
The Zhuxia Alliance is not far from the mouth of the great river. Ever since Hou Wenjie taught people how to make fishing nets, the food they have never lacked is fish!
After finishing the remaining broth in his bowl with a thud, Gu Chui addressed the platoon leaders sitting cross-legged on either side of him:
"After so much time spent practicing tactics, I believe you are already familiar with the tactics taught by the Witch Lord!"
I believe many of you have also read Wu Hou's "Soldier's Handbook" and "Military Strategy"!
It contains a theory of ten wins and ten losses!
Today, as we wage war against the Ji Shui clan, I also have a theory of five victories and five defeats to share with you all!
As the art of war says, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!"
Today, we know the Ji Shui clan, but the Ji Shui clan knows nothing about us!
This is what is meant by "the enemy is in the light, while we are in the dark!" A victory indeed!
Furthermore, our army has protective armor, wooden shields, spears, broadswords, and bows and arrows!
The enemy is far superior! These are the two victories!
Our army is disciplined and far superior to the rabble of Ji Shui! We will win three times!
Our army's offensive tactics and formations are far superior to those of Ji Shui! These are the four victories!
Our army, guided by the will of Heaven, fights for the Chinese people and for the sacred valley, and its morale is high! This is the fifth victory!
With these five points, our army will surely achieve a great victory!
Upon hearing this, the squad leader from the previous campaign against the Deer Horn Clan, now the platoon leader Silkworm Pupa, loudly prostrated himself and exclaimed:
"We will obey the elders' command, and our Zhuxia Alliance will surely win a great victory!"
The other generals also immediately knelt down and shouted in unison, "Great victory!"
After resting for a while and recuperating, the army set off!
Before long, they crossed the boundary marker and entered the territory of the Jishui clan.
Naturally, sentries from the Jishui clan discovered the army of the Zhuxia Alliance!
A clear and ethereal musical note echoed through the mountains and forests!
"It's a unique musical instrument of the Jishui clan, the ocarina! They have different tunes to convey different messages!"
This piece is only played when a formidable enemy is approaching!
"This is what Black Bone, a former soldier of the Deer Horn Clan and now a platoon leader in the Zhuxia Alliance Army, said."
Drumstick nodded and said, "Slowing down the march will allow them to gather more men, which we can then wipe out in one fell swoop!"
"Hehe, let us sing the army song of all the Xia people!"
Upon hearing the military order, the army's chief musician picked up the suona, which the shaman had specially commissioned to be made, puffed out his cheeks, and began to play.
As the suona horn sounded, all the soldiers began to sing military songs!
"How can you say we have no clothes? We share the same robes. The king is raising an army; let us prepare our spears and shields. We will fight alongside you against this enemy!"
How can you say we have no clothes? We'll share our garments with you. The king is raising an army; let us prepare our spears and halberds. We'll fight together!
"How can you say we have no clothes? We will share our garments with you. The king is raising an army; let us prepare our armor and weapons. We will march together!"
This is a war song that Hou Wenjie selected from the Book of Songs!
It is also a famous work that has been passed down through the ages on Earth!
It would be perfect to use it as the military song of the All-China Alliance!
A good military song can not only convey a nation's ideals and beliefs, but also boost soldiers' morale and make them understand what comrades-in-arms and homeland mean!
When ideals and beliefs take root in people's hearts, this army is given a soul, and will have a tenacious will and a tenacious fighting power!
No enemy can defeat them easily anymore!
Only with faith can a person be fearless! Only with faith can one accomplish the impossible!
After the war song had been sung several times and the army had marched forward for another twenty minutes, soldiers of the Jishui clan appeared ahead!
Most of them were shirtless, with animal skins around their waists, and some held stone spears while others held stone axes.
Everyone had brightly colored bird feathers stuck in their hair!
Among them, a burly man covered in animal skins stepped forward, his eyes sweeping over the numerous enemies in front of him!
His eyes finally settled on a familiar face, and he roared:
"Blackbone! Does your Deer Horn Clan intend to start a great war?"
My Jishui clan is not to be trifled with! I advise you to retreat immediately and leave your weapons and clothes behind!
I'll let you go! I won't pursue the matter further!
Otherwise, you can all stay on the land of our Jishui clan!
The speaker was none other than Manzhui, the leader of the Jishui clan!
He was confident in his strength and never took Ba Mao, the leader of the Deer Horn Clan, seriously!
The two tribes had fought several times in the past, and the Deer Horn Clan was always defeated.
And Ba Mao never got the better of him!
If it weren't for the fact that the Deer Horn Clan's territory was not so resource-poor as it was compared to that of the Ji Shui Clan, he would have led his tribe to annihilate the Deer Horn Clan long ago!
Unexpectedly, the Deer Horn Clan has attacked again today!
They're incorrigible! They have no sense of being weak!
Do you really think you can escape so easily every time?
Moreover, the other side used to have more than two hundred tribesmen, which seemed to be a formidable force!
Now, there seem to be no more than a hundred people on the other side!
Although everyone looks like they're wearing animal skins!
But can animal hides be transformed into strength?
That's incredibly stupid!
Warriors can only gain strength by eating meat! Everything else is vain!
Even the most beautiful animal hides can only keep you warm! And now, it's the hot season! The only use of animal hides is for covering and decoration!
Soon, these animal hides will become the property of the Jishui clan!
It's a pity that Ba Mao didn't come this time!
