Chapter 24 How to save life?
In the afternoon, the original small tribe alliance's residence was already full of people.
Huo Quba and the others said that it is certainly fake to gather 50,000 people. In such poor and difficult times, who has the ability to grow and grow?
It would be great to be able to live well and maintain it.
In order to completely paralyze Liu Mingqi and the others, all the tribes of the small tribe alliance had moved here.
The 50,000 Uighurs and Western Qiang cavalry were all hidden in it, and they were about to start a sudden attack once the entire camp was surrounded and Liu Mingqi was caught off guard.
Unfortunately, with a big traitor like Xue Jikongkong, Liu Mingqi and the others ran away in advance.
So the 50,000 cavalry who received the news immediately divided into ten five thousand cavalry and chased them wildly towards the south.
They had no one in charge of the small tribe alliance.
At first, do these people dare to fight against the Uighurs and the Western Qiang?
Secondly, they have betrayed Liu Mingqi, do they still dare to seek Dakang's forgiveness?
After all, compared to chasing Liu Mingqi, these miscellaneous small tribes are nothing!
There are at least hundreds of small tribes like this on the grassland!
negligible!
Seeing that no one came to monitor him, a group of leaders, elders and leaders of the small tribe alliance quietly got into the tent for a meeting.
Looking at everyone present, Huo Quba said, "Everyone, I won't say anything extra. Now is the time for our life and death! Everyone should know our situation, right?"
A group of people nodded silently or looked dull, but none of them were happy anyway.
Except for Xue Ji Kongkong, he was the most miserable on his face.
An elder said impatiently: "Huo Quba, you are the smartest, have the most ideas, and have the most flexible brains on weekdays. Just talk about it! What kind of way do we have?"
"Yes, tell me quickly! It's too late!" Xue Ji Kongkong said with a wry smile, "Are we going to run to Tubo?"
"Tibet?"
Julu Dayong frowned: "Xue Jikongkong, are you crazy? We go to such a poor and backward place as Tubo, and there are still a few women, children, children and elderly people who can survive? Besides, we went there, because we were not from their tribe, and we would definitely be called by them as slaves and cannon fodder."
Xue Ji Kongkong took a breath: "Do you still dare to surrender to the Uighur headquarters? No, no! I will never be able to follow you. This time we did not complete the task, there must be spies here, so they will definitely settle the score after the autumn! In addition, they have suffered huge losses, so it is absolutely not surprising that they broke up and annexed us! I am not far away to become the leader of the bare clan!"
"shit!"
Julu Dayong said angrily: "I only went to seek death after eating too much! Isn't they bullying us enough? If they hadn't suddenly attacked us and captured our family members this time, could we do such unethical things? Now, not only Dakang was offended to death by us, but these days they wouldn't have spared us!"
"That's right!"
Xue Jikongkong smiled, "We think about the same thing... Then what do you think about the follow-up?"
"I said, let's just migrate to the southwest and get close to Tubo, but we don't rely on them. We will find a place to live and grow slowly. At least we must be able to protect ourselves!" Julu Dayong said with emotion: "Otherwise, like now, anyone can squeeze us and anyone can bully us. It's so uncomfortable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Che Liluo next to him smiled, "You were just talking about Xue Jikongkong, are you the same now? Let's move there, not to mention whether we can adapt to the environment, but just talking about the difficulties we face, it is not ordinary! You think the survival of more than 100,000 people is too simple!"
Julu Dayong asked back, "What do you think you should do?"
"Ahem! Don't say anything!"
Kasaba, the oldest leader of the Doma tribe, shouted loudly before turning to Huo Quba: "Huo Quba, tell me! I haven't spoken for so long, are you thinking about something?"
Everyone looked at this big man with a blushing face.
Although he is tall and mighty, he is actually better at using his brain.
He made one-third of the strategy of the small tribe alliance on weekdays.
Even the transaction with the Yi Wang Mansion grew and grew in his hands.
Over the past ten years, the life of the small tribe alliance has been getting better and better. The tribe members have changed from a total of 40,000 to more than 50,000, and his contribution is definitely the greatest.
Now that it is time for crisis, we naturally have to listen to his opinions.
After being named, Huo Quba remained silent for a while.
Just when everyone was impatient, he said, "If I mean to go to Dakang, what do you think?"
"Da Kang!?"
Xue Jikongkong jumped up first, "How is this possible? We betrayed King De and King Wu! Especially King De! No matter how kind the people of Dakang are, they will not take us in, right? They are so kind to treat traitors. How can they gain a foothold in the world in the future?"
Chelilo frowned.
This Xue Ji is empty!
Because he made the most trouble, he should be afraid of being liquidated after Dakang?
Cheliro suppressed this idea and said, "Huo Quba, can we get guaranteed if we go to Dakang?"
"It depends on what you need." Huo Quba said carefully: "We have three possibilities in total. The first is that after going to Dakang, they pretended to take us in. As a result, after we completely disarmed, they killed all our young and strong in one breath, with so many horses.
The second type is that they took us in, but the conditions they promised were completely reduced, at most they would let us survive and work hard for them! The conditions that King De promised to give us heads will definitely shrink to an unimaginable extent.
The third type is that Dakang still values our animal husbandry ability, and we need to train a large number of war horses for them, and then agree to the previous conditions uniformly and ignore past grudges to win people's hearts."
As soon as Huo Quba finished speaking, Kasaba immediately shook his head: "The third one is impossible. I think it is very likely that it is the second one. Our people can still receive basic treatment, but we, the heads and patriarchs who plan to hurt King De and King Wu, will all be executed. Otherwise, they will not be able to explain to the people, and it is even more impossible to extinguish their anger."
"They are so cruel? So domineering?" an elder complained with a pale face.
"You have to figure it out, we will betray them first." Huo Quba looked at him and said coldly: "Besides, why do you speak to Dakang in this tone? Do you have a total of 30,000 troops? How many people does Dakang have? How big is the territory? Are we worthy of being on an equal footing with Dakangping? Those who cannot recognize themselves are really the biggest idiots!"
The elder was scolded speechless.
"But...we don't want to die...woo..."
A young man who had just taken over as an elder suddenly started to cry.
He is a young man who grew up during the peaceful transactions, so he has no experience of hard work, nor has he suffered.
Now that I encounter such a lot of pressure, I am directly collapsed.
"I don't want to think about it and there is no way out. From the day our family and tribe members were kidnapped, there is no way out." An older man next to him patted his shoulder, "Everyone is dead, at least I have to fight for something for my family, right? I remember you have two sons, one of whom was just born in January this year?"
Speaking of his son, the young elder cried and paused, his face looked very, very ugly, but more helpless.
In the dark clouds, Huo Quba said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Although our ending is mostly death, if we actively make contributions, we may be able to avoid death."
"What!?"
"What are you talking about Huo Quba?"
"Really!?"
Almost everyone was excited now.
Who is not afraid of death?
If they were not afraid of death, wouldn’t they have already fought with the Uighurs and the Western Qiang people this time?
Is it necessary to act as a traitor so lowly, and finally I am not pleased with both sides?
Seeing this, Huo Quba smiled faintly and said, "Did you forget it? Why did our family get caught?"
Xue Jikongkong said, "Don't you know? It was because the Uighurs and the Western Qiang army suddenly arrived, and then said that we colluded with Dakang and sold war horses to Dakang, which hurt them."
"By the way!" Huo Quba said: "How many of you have thought about what is the reason that they learned about this news?"
"this……"
Kasaba said thoughtfully: "Isn't it that we leaked the news?"
Julu Dayong reacted a little: "No! It's not us! Otherwise, why didn't they discover it so many years ago, but they just discovered it now? Isn't this a coincidence?"
"What's the reason?" Che Liluo asked, "Don't keep it aside, Huo Quba, please talk quickly!"
"I think there was a problem with Dakang. There was a traitor on their side, so we told us about it!" Huo Quba said word by word.
"ah!?"
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't believe it.
"The five Dakang embroidered guard spies were arrested, and then the Uighurs and Western Qiang people used the same method to coerce them to work hard!" Huo Quba continued: "If there is no accurate identification method, even we wouldn't know that the five of them are spies, right? Two of them became our senior management... Haha, Dakang people are really amazing!"
After a pause, he said quietly: "It is worth it for the people of Dakang to be powerful. Their power schemes have been famous for thousands of years... But think about it and think about it carefully! Are the Western Qiang and Uighurs so smart? Can they do such a fine approach? Is this in line with their daily habits? Ah?"
