Chapter 309 The Bahrain Tribe Wants to Surrender
Balin is not stupid. If he wants to settle down here and raise sheep, he would need a strong support.
But since the relocation of the camp until now, only a few patrol soldiers of the Zhenbei Army have come and gone.
He was still thinking about how to contact a high-ranking military officer and then choose the most beautiful girl from his tribe to express his sincerity, but he didn't expect that a general flag would suddenly come.
What he didn't expect was that this military officer didn't come for him, but was specifically looking for a girl.
Looking at the beautiful girl sitting in the VIP seat, wearing a snow-white fur robe, a big black braid, and a pair of agate earrings.
Balin guessed that this must be a nobleman of higher status than that military officer.
With Song Liyun around, he didn't dare offer beautiful women, but only expressed his desire to rely on Wu Chao.
Depend on the Wu Dynasty!
When General Xiao heard Balin's words, his mouth almost split to his ears. This was a piece of joy that fell from the sky.
He was just thinking about how to buy the cattle and sheep of this tribe, but they took the initiative to propose to be affiliated with the Wu Dynasty.
Population is wealth wherever it is.
The Wu Dynasty strictly controlled the flow of people, otherwise all the people in the bitter cold land would have fled.
On the other hand, they tried to find ways to move the inland population to the border, hoping to make the sparsely populated north prosperous.
If you want to be rich, you need people. The arrival of the Di tribe made up for the population shortage.
If he could bring under control a Dilu tribe, it would add an additional source of income to the garrison.
Of course he welcomes such a good thing.
"Bahrain, the Wu Dynasty has always been a country of generosity and benevolence. If you are willing to come to the Wu Dynasty, you will naturally be protected by the Wu Dynasty, and no one will dare to annex you."
Balin was overjoyed. When he arrived in Xiaoba, he paid a tax of five sheep to the Zhenbei Army, but all he got in return was permission to stay in Xiaoba for the winter.
Now that General Xiao has said that he can stay forever and be protected by the Wu Dynasty, he no longer has to worry about being annexed.
Balin respectfully toasted General Xiao and told him how to obey the management of the garrison in the future.
General Xiao's face was flushed. He had killed people from the Di tribe, but had never been toasted by the Di people.
At this moment, he seemed to have anticipated that he would take the position of centurion and become a wealthy local official like Captain Luo.
Song Dekui was a smart man and he took the opportunity to bring up businesses such as buying and selling cattle and sheep.
This was naturally something that the three parties hit it off on, so the men talked and drank, and there was laughter and joy in the tent, making it very lively.
In this bustling scene, Song Liyun's heart was pounding. She suddenly realized that she was short-sighted and had a narrow mind.
From the time he started selling furs to now, he has only been thinking about the cattle and sheep of the Wuda tribe.
Even when Ah Shi was fighting for the grassland territory with his life, he was only thinking about getting information and sending some food that Ah Shi didn't need for the time being.
For such a long time, I haven't put more effort into my future life.
Balin can take refuge in Guangbao Wei Suo, and Xiao Zongqi can control the Di tribe and gather population for the Wu Dynasty.
Why don’t I take this opportunity to gather the scattered tribes from the Mida Valley in another way?
Zhao Tingduo used force to gather a part of them, and then gathered the other part by himself, and then put them together when the time came.
In other words, if she marries into the grassland in the future, these tribes will become her Qu tribe and her property, unless they leave voluntarily.
Song Liyun pinched herself: I am upset that I only realized it now.
The Di people, like the people of the Wu Dynasty, worked hard in order to have enough food and clothing.
If he wanted to gather people together, the way he did it was of course to do business and transform the special products of the Dilu grassland into food and clothing.
A freezer needs to be added to Suijin Town, and industrial ice production also needs to be considered.
Industrial ice making requires saltpeter, and simply collecting ice from the river in winter is not enough to transport frozen meat on the road.
"Xiao Yun, what are you thinking about? That barbarian is about to toast you."
Song Liyun was in a trance and only reacted when Song Dekui beside her pulled her sleeve.
Balin was already holding a wine bowl, standing in front of her with full sincerity.
Song Liyun didn't pick up the wine bowl, but chuckled and said, "Headmaster Balin, would you like a large or small bowl of wine?"
Bahrain looked puzzled...
Song Liyun said, "Since General Xiao is willing to help your tribe, Chief Balin might as well tell the other tribes. Maybe there are others who share the same idea as you."
Hearing Song Liyun say this, Xiao Zongqi, who was originally smiling due to the alcohol, suddenly became serious and stared at Balin.
Song Liyun wants to get more tribes to join the Wu Dynasty!
He is a military man, and there are some things that he cannot say directly.
The Wu Dynasty's relationship with the Di tribe was also somewhat subtle.
The feud between the Di Lu people and the Wu Dynasty lasted for thousands of years. Officially, they fought and killed each other, but secretly, they carried out trade through caravans.
If the Wu Dynasty wanted the Di tribe to surrender, it could not be too eager, as this would lose the demeanor of a great power.
Even more so, they could not run into the grassland and actively contact the Di tribe, as this would provoke hatred and revenge from the Di royal court.
If General Xiao gathers the tribes like he did, nothing will happen and no one will hold him accountable.
If he falls into the eyes of hostile forces, they can easily accuse him of being a Tongdi.
But wealth and honor are achieved through risk, and in the face of interests, General Xiao obviously wants to take this risk.
He looked nervous.
Balin scratched his head: "Miss Song also knows that each tribe of our Di people is not together, and there are dozens of miles between them. I don't know what they think."
Song Liyun smiled and said, "I can go and ask for you."
She does not represent the government, nor the military, nor the Di people.
But... she is a government official, a military household of the garrison, and the future mistress of the Di tribe.
She has a say in the future of the Di tribe and is the one who best controls its direction of development.
General Xiao was very happy that Song Liyun took the initiative to recruit other tribes.
He left Wu Dong and several other soldiers to protect Song Liyun, while he hurried back to Guangbao and dispatched more soldiers to cooperate with Song Liyun.
The Di tribe's desire to surrender to the Wu Dynasty was far beyond his acceptance.
Especially since Guangbao is the main road connecting to the Dilu grassland, he did not dare to act on his own and needed to inform the captain of the garrison and even the captain of the garrison in the whole city.
In the Kun tribe, Song Dekui and Wu Dong arranged the next itinerary.
After General Song Xiao left, Li Yun began to ask Balin to tell her everything he knew about what had happened in the Mida Valley.
Balin didn't know what Song Liyun's identity was, but seeing that General Xiao had specially left behind strong soldiers to protect her, he knew he needed to obey.
The Kun tribe decided to abandon their winter migration when the second conflict occurred in the Mida River Valley a month ago.
"The Wuda tribe is extremely powerful, and they are full of elite cavalry."
When talking about his idol, the Uda tribe, Balin's eyes light up.
“The cavalry of the Wuda tribe is led by their young master, who is a warrior.
A month ago, several hundred cavalrymen surrounded the Dongyue tribe..."
Balin narrated what happened in the Mida Valley in his halting Wuchao dialect.
