Wu She watched as the tribe's most valiant warrior, Zhong Mang, was defeated by a mere soldier of the Zhuxia tribe in just a few exchanges.
The anger I felt earlier has dissipated like smoke.
Having witnessed the power of the bow and arrow, the sharpness of the longsword, and the clothes and books from before.
He had come to understand why Wu Xian was so certain.
How could the Buffalo Clan possibly withstand a group of soldiers wielding such weapons!
Wu She looked at Wu Xian and said, "I have finished watching the Great Shaman's demonstration."
"I wonder what the consequences would be if my Wild Ox Clan refused to be incorporated into the Xia?"
Wu Xian solemnly said, "The integration of the various Xia states is the will of Heaven! The will of Heaven is clear and cannot be defied! The Great Shaman also knows that if one offends Heaven, one should not pray!"
Did the great shaman really think that the Wild Ox Clan could stop the armies of the Xia people?
The great shaman knows that when the Xia people conquered the Lujiao clan and the Jishui clan, not a single person died!
The soldiers of the various Xia states trained in military formations daily and were well-versed in military strategy! Even the lowest-ranking soldier had some understanding of troop deployment and formation!
The person who just competed with your leader is just an ordinary person among the soldiers of our Xia people!
Our Xia elder, Gu Chui, once intended to directly lead troops to conquer various tribes and sweep across the vast wilderness!
But the shaman said that the Xia people are a land of propriety and etiquette, and should not be attacked without cause!
The shaman gave me four words: "First courtesy, then force!" He appointed me as an envoy to various tribes.
If they are willing to voluntarily join the Xia, then they will all become subjects of the Xia!
If they refuse, the Witch Lord will raise an army to conquer them! After the war, all the soldiers of the tribe will become criminals!
The ringleader shall be executed!
"I hope the Great Shaman will consider this carefully."
Wu She sighed, “I will remember your words, Great Shaman. Please rest for a while, Great Shaman. I will discuss this matter with the other leaders and will not keep you waiting.”
Wu Xian said, "The livelihood of our people depends entirely on the Great Shaman. With the collective wisdom of the people, the Great Shaman will surely be able to come up with a good solution."
After Wu Xian finished speaking, he bowed to Wu She and, led by Wu She's servant, entered a room. The servant then had fruits and roasted meat brought out.
Meanwhile, Wu She, along with Zhong Mang, the tribe's second chieftain, and his disciples, arrived at the central room.
Wu She sat cross-legged at the head of the table, looking at everyone and saying, "You have all heard what Wu Xian said! What do you think?"
Zhong Mang said, "The longswords of the Xia people are incomparably sharp! We are naturally at a disadvantage when fighting against them!"
Moreover, they have bows and arrows! If they fire a barrage of arrows from a distance, our soldiers will likely be killed instantly!
I think this is also why not a single person from the Xia tribes died in their conquests of the Lujiao and Jishui tribes!
The second leader, named Wolf, said, "Although the weapons of the Xia people are sharp, we are not dead men!"
If we can't win, can't we just run away? I suggest we imprison Wu Xian, seize his bows and iron swords, and research how to make them ourselves!
Press Wu Xian further to see if you can get any useful information out of him!
Then, our entire clan migrated westward! I refuse to believe that the various Xia tribes could find us in the vast wilderness!
Wu She's disciple, Ku Sang, said, "The ambitions of the Zhuxia tribes are far-reaching! Their goal is not to target any particular tribe, but to pacify the vast wilderness!"
To pacify the wilderness, we need more people! We need to unite all the races!
The reason why the various Xia states did not immediately launch a war was not because of their so-called etiquette, but because they wanted to speed up the integration of the Xia states!
Reduce conflicts during the integration process.
Running away won't solve the problem. Besides, where can we run to?
To the west lies the Baima clan, and further west, the Quanrong clan. If we were to reach their territory, a fierce battle would be inevitable. How many of us would survive?
Moreover, imprisoning Wu Xian was tantamount to completely offending the various Xia tribes.
If the Zhuxia tribe is truly as Wu Xian said, it will inevitably grow stronger day by day. At that time, even if we successfully migrate westward, our descendants will not be spared the calamity of extinction!
In fact, integrating into the Chinese society might also be an opportunity.
We can learn the methods of iron making and bow making from the Xia people.
"If one day, that legendary shaman who received divine revelation passes away, and the various Xia states lose their leader, perhaps my Wild Ox clan can seize the opportunity to rise up, replace the Long Serpent clan, and become the most illustrious surname among the Xia states!"
After hearing what the three had said, Wu She sighed and said:
“In ancient times, a sage appeared and taught humankind to build nests and make fire by drilling wood. It was through him that humankind was distinguished from wild beasts.”
This saint's virtues were also praised by all people.
Their achievements were also engraved on many stone slabs and passed down throughout the Great Wilderness.
Now, the shaman of the Long Serpent Clan has solved the problem of clothing for the human race by weaving clothes with silk!
They made paper from bamboo, invented writing, passed down books, educated the people, and freed them from ignorance.
The merits of these two deeds are comparable to those of the ancient sages.
Moreover, he also forged iron into weapons; the long sword was extremely sharp, and I observed that the arrowheads were also made of iron.
All of this makes me believe that there are indeed people in the world who can receive divine revelation.
When ancient sages appeared, the human race began to rise above all other beings.
Now that another sage has emerged, it seems we are entering another era of great contention!
Since the trend is inevitable, I, the Wild Buffalo Clan, shall seize the greatest benefit from it!
Seed of Grain!
He ordered all his people to migrate eastward, saying that they would join the alliance of the various Xia states.
Everyone in the Zhuxia Alliance has clothes to wear and meat to eat.
We, the Wild Ox Clan, will do our utmost for the prosperity of the Xia people!
…
Wu Xian hadn't expected the mission to go so smoothly.
He originally wanted to have one of the clan leaders from Wushe Sect accompany him to the settlement of the Zhuxia people so that they could experience the life of the Zhuxia people firsthand.
Unexpectedly, Wushe did not hesitate at all and directly announced the news of the entire clan's eastward migration!
After a silent sigh, he couldn't help but admire Wushe's decisiveness and control over the tribe.
Back then, within the Ji Shui clan, Manzhui was so domineering that even Wu Xian had to give him a wide berth.
Manzhui is confident in his martial prowess, but his intelligence is extremely mediocre, and he does things entirely according to his own whims.
He might lead his soldiers to raid neighboring tribes on a whim.
However, he never received any real benefits. Under his leadership, the lives of the tribespeople became even more difficult than before.
Wu Xian did not dislike war.
However, the premise for launching a war is to preserve the existing living environment and to create a better one.
However, as a tribal leader, Manzhui did not understand these things!
He was cruel and took pleasure in instigating bloodshed.
He died, and Wu Xian felt no regret at all.
If such a person continues to live, he will sooner or later lead the Deer Horn Clan into the abyss of extinction.
Fortunately, we've now joined the Chinese nation!
Thinking that his people have now joined the Chinese, living in houses made of wood and brick, sleeping on wooden beds and drinking fish soup every day, he feels that everything he is doing now is worthwhile.
The Chinese people should rise to prominence.
The thought echoed in his mind again and again.
Wu Xian spent the night at the Buffalo Clan's place.
The next morning, all the people of the Buffalo Clan had packed their belongings.
Wu Xian and Wu She sat on the oxcart, leading everyone forward.
This is a team of nearly a thousand people.
In the group, men carried backpacks, women held babies and led children, and the elderly leaned on canes.
Behind these people, soldiers were driving the cattle kept by the Buffalo Clan.
On the backs of the oxen, bags were also carried.
They walked eastward, facing the rising sun, their eyes shining.
