On the way back, Zhao Hongrun accidentally learned that the Jie people who were defeated by the Qin army on the battlefield in the Huayang Plain were the "Ying Tribe", one of the three major tribes of the Jie people.

Only then did Zhao Hongrun realize that most of the Jie people living in western Sanchuan were from the Yi tribe.

Zhao Hongrun was secretly moved by this.

In fact, he had a good impression of the Ching tribe. After all, when Zhao Hongrun led his army to attack the Jiejiao tribe, the Ching tribe was the first tribe among the Jie tribe who wanted to negotiate with the Wei State. Moreover, the leader "Ordmo" sent by the Ching tribe at that time was also a wise person among the Jie tribe.

But, it turns out that the Clan tribe is so weak?

Zhao Hongrun asked Lu Balong.

Unexpectedly, Lubalon asked in surprise: "His Royal Highness Su doesn't know about the civil strife in the tribe?"

"What kind of civil strife?" Zhao Hongrun really didn't know.

So, the civil strife that happened to the Yan tribe in nearly two years told Zhao Hongrun.

I remember that the leader of the tribe, "Oldmo", once replaced the latter in the negotiations between Wei and Sanchuan at that time on the grounds that his tribe's patriarch "Feyang Tahun" was old and weak.

Zhao Hongrun was clear about this matter, and he also allowed it.

In fact, Ordemo lied at the time.

It was not to deceive Zhao Hongrun. On the contrary, Ordemo concealed the fact that Fei Yangtahun, the chief of the tribe, was terminally ill.

Then, after Wei State reached an agreement with Sanchuan, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance was established. Fei Yangtahun, the chief of the tribe, finally passed away with peace of mind after learning about this.

Before his death, Fei Yangtahun elected Ordemo, who was equivalent to his left and right hands, and became the chief of the tribe.

This action aroused the dissatisfaction of Fei Yangtahun's sons, so that several months later, Fei Yangtahun's sons plotted to rebel and instigated soldiers from the tribe to attack Ordemo.

The civil strife lasted for several months and ended with Ordemo's victory.

However, Ordemo did not kill the sons of the old patriarch Fei Yangtahun, but generously allowed the latter to leave the tribe.

So, some people followed the sons of the old patriarch Fei Yangtahun and left and headed to the far north.

But then again, although he was lucky enough to save his life because of Ordemo's generousness, those rebels were exiled by Ordemo.

And because of this civil strife, the strength of the tribe was greatly weakened.

"...Oldmo is already the chief of the tribe?"

When Zhao Hongrun listened to Lu Balong's story, he was really surprised.

I still remember that when the Lun warriors returned to the Ching tribe a while ago, Zhao Hongrun felt a little puzzled, thinking that the Ching tribe's attitude was so good. He said he wanted to watch the war between the Ching tribe and the Qin army, but the Ching tribe agreed without saying a word and even asked someone to tell him that there would be a war in a few days.

It turned out that the one who sent back the message from the Lun warriors was Ordemo, who had met once, a wise leader who had noticed the threat from Qin at that time and advocated forming an alliance with the Wubian tribe to fight against Qin together.

"I have to go and meet you."

Zhao Hongrun, who originally did not intend to stay here, immediately changed his attention after learning that Ordemo had become the chief of the tribe.

Under his instruction, Lubalon sent several Lun soldiers to the camp of the tribe again to convey the matter to Ordemo.

The next day, Ordemo entrusted the Lun soldiers to send a reply: Welcome His Highness Su to visit.

After receiving the invitation from Ordemo, Zhao Hongrun took Lintao Jun Wei Ji, Lu Balong and the guards to the camp of the tribe.

When he learned that he was coming, Ordemo personally took more than a dozen people to wait outside the tribal camp. When he saw Zhao Hongrun, he was also particularly enthusiastic.

"A few days ago, Xiao Wang didn't know that Leader Ordemo had been promoted to the chief of the clan. He hoped that the chief of the clan would not care about the impoliteness."

When he saw Ordemo, Zhao Hongrun bowed his hand and took the lead in apologizing with an apology.

And Ordemo waved his hand and laughed it off.

Of course, he understood why Zhao Hongrun had not visited his tribe a few days ago, but was just worried about detaining it. After all, the relationship between the tribe and the Wei State was not as trusted by the Wei State as the Chuanluo Alliance.

Ordemo welcomed Zhao Hongrun into the tribal camp. On the way, Zhao Hongrun was surprised to see that the tribes in the camp seemed to be packing his bags, and he immediately understood something.

However, due to the other party's face, Zhao Hongrun did not speak out.

Unexpectedly, Ordemo told the truth himself.

"My tribe... is ready to move eastward."

When he said this, Ordemo's face looked very bad and his eyes were a little dim.

Zhao Hongrun was silent for a moment when he heard this, carefully considered the words and asked, "Is the situation so bad?"

"Well." Ordemo nodded and said in a low tone: "Nine hundred thousand slaves died in two defeats. The strength of the Qin army was beyond my expectations. My tribe alone could not defend the pasture of Huayang, so I could only move eastward."

Because Ordemo was talking about Wei Yan, even the Lintao Jun Wei Ji could understand it roughly. Therefore, the Lintao Jun Wei Ji interrupted incredibly: "This great clan leader, I'm sorry to say bluntly that although the tribe suffered two defeats, the elite of the precious tribe is still there, why do you retreat easily?"

Ordemo glanced at Lintao Jun Wei Ji and said nothing.

As Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, said, although the Chuang tribe has suffered two defeats so far, the ones who died on the battlefield were some slaves with very low status, and the soldiers of the Chuang tribe had almost not suffered much losses. If the Chuang tribe was willing to do everything and fight to the Qin army despite the casualties of the soldiers in the tribe, it would be impossible to pull out a few tiger teeth from the Qin army's tiger.

But the problem is that Ordemo cannot do that, even if he is now the leader of the tribe.

In fact, after all, the class composition form of the Sanchuan tribe is actually very similar to that of the Central Plains countries. The clan leader is like a king, and the leaders under his command are like a noble and aristocratic tribe under the rule of the king of the Central Plains countries.

If the latter supports the former, then the clan leader is certainly supreme; but on the other hand, if the leaders in the tribe do not support the clan leader's decision, then the clan leader actually does not have much power.

And now Ordemo's situation is like this: the first two defeats made the leaders in his tribe generally fear the Qin army and were unwilling to let the soldiers of their clan fight to the death with the Qin army.

In the eyes of those people, Sanchuan did not belong only to their tribe. On this land, there are many powerful forces such as the Jie tribe, the Ling tribe, the Wuxu royal court, and the Chuanluo Alliance. Why can he let his tribe resist the attack of the Qin army alone?

After listening to Ordemo's story, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised at all. After all, he had seen too many such messy things.

As for people, selfishness is inevitable. Looking at the whole world, how many people can be selfless?

"What are the specific plans of the Grand Chief?" Zhao Hongrun asked seriously.

Ordemo knew what Zhao Hongrun wanted to ask, and thought for a while and said, "At present, I hope for the geographical advantage of my Sanchuan. The Qin army may not understand the situation of my Sanchuan. In addition, the cold winter is approaching, and it rashly leads a large army into my Sanchuan. Perhaps our army does not need to be used. The weather in Sanchuan can kill most of the Qin army..."

Zhao Hongrun nodded slightly.

It has to be said that the cold winter in Sanchuan is indeed a disaster.

As far as he knows, the sheep that were frozen to death in the entire Sanchuan County in the past were not as much as the transaction volume between Chuanluo and Wei. Moreover, the slaves that were frozen to death in Sanchuan County were almost approaching the number of slaves who died due to war.

The threat of the cold winter on the land of Sanchuan is far greater than that of the Wei State. If the Qin army had not made sufficient preparations in advance, then half of them were frozen to death in this cold winter, and it would never be just Ordemo's words.

But the problem is that since Qin has used a huge army on Sanchuan County, how could it be possible for him to not understand the situation on Sanchuan in advance?

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun felt that he should not expose Ordemo, after all, the patriarch of the tribe had no choice.

He spoke, "Although this plan is good, it may cause dissatisfaction among Jie, Ling, and Wuxu Wangting..."

Ordemo smiled bitterly when he heard this.

That's right, his tribe migrated eastward, and to put it bluntly, he fled eastward. Then the two large tribes of Jie and Ling, who are also Jie tribes, and the Wuxu royal court, will inevitably be exposed to the Qin army.

In this way, how could the latter three give the tribe a good look?

However, Ordemo had no other choice.

After sighing a long time, Ordemo asked Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness Su, I wonder if Chuanluo and your country will participate in this battle?"

"Of course." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said, "When we agreed to advance and retreat together, how could our Great Wei lose our trust?"

Hearing this, Ordemo was really relieved. After all, the power of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance in Sanchuan is no less than the three major tribes of their Jie people, let alone the Wei Kingdom behind the Sichuan-Luo Alliance.

"But I must make it clear in advance that it is unlikely that our Great Wei Dynasty will send troops this year, and we have to wait until the beginning of spring next year." Zhao Hongrun added.

Ordemo nodded, without any objection to this.

After all, November is approaching. When the Wei army arrives at Sanchuan County, it must be December, and it is the coldest time in Sanchuan County.

What did the Wei army come here? It was just consuming food.

On that day, Ordemo killed the sheep and treated Zhao Hongrun and his group. The two sides agreed on some things. Then the next day, Zhao Hongrun set off for Huayin and was preparing to evacuate eastward.

After all, the purpose of his trip was to evaluate the strength of the Qin army. Since the purpose has been achieved, what are you still here to do?

When Zhao Hongrun returned to Huayin and took Ran Teng and Xiang Li two teams of thousands of people quickly evacuated eastward, the Yan tribe also moved the entire tribe.

The retreat of the Qin tribe made the Qin army more rapid.

A few days later, the Qin army, which had occupied "Huayang", led its troops to conquer the "Shangluo" in the southeast, and then continued to move forward and conquered a hill called "Wuqiu" by the locals.

To the south of Wuqiu is the territory of the "Jie Tribe", one of the three major tribes of the Jie tribe. Due to the retreat of the Chang tribe, the Jie tribe, which was fighting against the Ba people, was threatened by the Qin army.

Batulu, the chief of the Jie tribe, was furious and had to temporarily end the war with Ba and transfer the main forces to Sanchuan.

At this point, the Jie tribe and the Yi tribe are incompatible.
