History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 222 Yelang Qilan

Chapter 222 Yelang·Qilan

On the silk book, as the fortunes of Chu and Bao intertwined, a mysterious energy rose from it to the sky.

In the vastness of the land, Feng Yun's Taoist appearance can be seen throughout the land of Baoguo, with the head of a human and the body of a snake, looking at the world.

His voice was as solemn as he recited the words of his contract.

Under the loud voice, the praise person was shocked.

Fifty years, half of the tribute?

Regardless of how excited Baoguo is, how shocked the other countries on the side of Baoguo are.

Feng Yun Taoism turned into a lock of contract, linking the fate of Chu State and the Youbao clan.

In the harem of Baoguo.

"Wow wow..."

"Madam has given birth to a son and a daughter, which is an auspicious sign!"

Baoguo's fortune is prosperous, flowing like clouds for a while, and the disasters caused by the weather have also been greatly alleviated. When the autumn harvest comes, I am afraid that I will be able to rejoice again.

"call…"

The wind of mild summer is blowing, and the heat of great heat is coming.

The Great Summer is the hottest season of the year. Now that we have entered Yelang and crossed the Wuling Mountains, it feels a little refreshing.

"Fengzi, the country of Qilan is ahead."

In the carriage, because the road ahead was impassable, Feng Yun was about to take a rest for the night. At this time, Manwa went hunting.

Feng Yun was left with a strong man.

This strong man was dressed in barbaric clothes, with animal skins as a skirt. Feng Yun paid fifty gold to hire a man who knew the dialects of Chu and Yelang.

At this time, the strong man reminded Feng Yun that Qielan was in front, and once again explained the situation around Yelang at this time.

I learned from Feng Yun——

The surrounding Qielan Kingdom, located between Yong Kingdom and Yelang, was surrounded by Yelang on three sides. At this time, it was being attacked by Yelang's King Cao personally.

Yelang was originally like the Baiyue Kingdom. It was also composed of multiple tribes. Its country was larger than the Baiyue Kingdom.

There are dozens of scattered tribes.

As for the number of people, according to this strong man who traveled north and south, the total number of Yelang's tribes was roughly six to seven hundred thousand people.

Among them, there are more than 300,000 people in the Yelang Sabu tribe.

As for how to estimate——

"King Sacu took 30,000 men to attack Qilan, leaving 10,000 to guard the house. The Qilan Kingdom usually has tens of thousands of spear-bearers, but now it can conquer 20,000 people."

"We are not in a place like Dazhou. Thirty people in Dazhou can recruit one soldier, but we can usually produce one with ten people."

The strong man said, and Feng Yun also used the method similar to the Jiuli phonetic character table to record the meanings of the phonetic characters in various places from the study during this period, and compared it with Zhou Wen to write it.

This is the book of cultivation.

Feng Yun also understood most of the Yelang's language, how he spoke and what he meant.

"King Scus, it seems he likes to fight?"

Feng Yun asked.

The strong man replied: "It's not that I like it, it's that I can't help it."

"This place is full of mountains. There is little cultivated land, and there is a lot of water under the mountain gorges. If there is a shortage of water, it will be difficult to carry water for drinking. It will be difficult to take care of the soil, and it will be difficult to plant!"

"Only those places with convenient water and flat land nearby can grow some rice, millet, etc., but such land is gone within a few steps, so many Yelang people don't like farming and only rely on hunting and fishing, but where

How can we support so many people..."

"So we went to plunder." Feng Yun said the words that the strong man was embarrassed to say.

He also wrote "Natural Kingdoms·Yelang" on the silk book he brought with him.

It is written——

The terrain of Yelang is mountainous, with little flat land, no big lakes, only the confluence of mountain streams, and no fertile plains, so at this time many people hunted and drove the mountains to make a living.

And because the mountains are easy to catch swimming fish and there are green plants all year round, fishing and wild vegetables are also part of the food.

As for farming, I am temporarily tired.

Farming was temporarily exhausted, and there were many wars and plunders.

This was the solution for Yelang to send troops to deter Yongguo and force him to withdraw his troops.

All in all, the war of the king of curses is due to the exhaustion of a country's livelihood and the general trend.

Of course, Feng Yun does not yet have a clear understanding of this king's character.

Just from the strong man, we know that he is violent, cruel and barbaric.

"Fengzi, I heard about your reputation. You are a wise man in the Chu land. You are a capable person just like our priests... Can you communicate with the gods?"

This strong man hopes.

As for why, the strong man looked in the direction of Qielan Kingdom.

"I am a member of the Gomachihara tribe. Our king is also going to establish a nation, but I don't think it is a good thing to establish a nation at this time. You see, Qielan Kingdom just announced its intention to establish a nation, and King Shashu led troops to fight..."

"But our king said that he had a dream about God's words, so he was preparing to found a country..."

"I have never seen God..."

Feng Yun saw this strong man talking non-stop and listened to his worries about his tribe.

"What is a country and how to continue it..."

Feng Yun once again thought of the problem of Chaozu.

A country is a protective siege and a territorial defense.

There is land in the territory, there is a population, there are wars, and then there are walls, which is for the country.

"Why did your king establish the country? To worship the gods?"

"Or is it to collect the wealth of a place and build a country?"

"Or do you build a country to protect the people of this place?"

"If you build a country to protect the people of a place, then it is perfectly fine."

"When faced with danger, all citizens will fight for their country."

"If it is for the wealth of a place, then let this wealth fight for him, what does it have to do with the people?"

"If a country is built to worship gods...the small gods live in a single family and are satisfied, and their hearts are not greedy; the great gods live in a country with insufficient land, and their hearts are immeasurable."

"Only humans need a country to worship and call them gods."

The strong man was stunned.

"You are saying that our king is lying to us. He...he is doing it for..."

"Gathering power into one body."

Feng Yun answered the question for the strong man and patted the strong man on the shoulder.

At this time, Manwa had returned, but he could not understand the language spoken by Feng Yun and the strong man.

It is already not easy for Man Wa to learn Zhou Yan. If he were to learn these complicated Yelang dialects from different tribes, wouldn't it cost Man Wa's life?

Mo is even more obediently roasting wild animals, lowering his head next to the giant bear.

"Thank you for coming." Feng Yun took out a wooden box, which contained exactly fifty gold.

The strong man looked at him and saw that he didn't care about the founding of the country. He smiled happily.

Gold and copper.

Valuable things can be melted and cast into hard currency no matter where they are.

Knowing that this trip is over, Transformation salutes Feng Yun strangely.

"It's not too late, so don't disturb Fengzi."

Ahead is Qielan.

A strong man will not go to a place where there is a war.

"By the way, I learned a secret some time ago. Among the Yelang tribe, the three major tribes, Qiongdu, Mimo, and Laozhen, have the intention to break away from the Yelang Kingdom and seem to want to establish an independent country."

Qiongdu, Mimo, Laozhen?

These three tribes are the largest in Baiyue.

Feng Yun didn't know much about Baiyue's system and could only look at it later.

Now, let's go to Qielan first, and then go to find King Yelang and discuss the alliance with Chu.

"Fengzi, the bear paws are baked."

Manwa used a pottery plate to bring the bear's paw to Feng Yun.

On the fire, there was also minced meat porridge being cooked.

On the other side, Manwa's giant bear was eating the other half of the bear's body brought from the hunt.

"Hehe, it's normal for bears to eat bears in the mountains, but only in the famine years have people ever heard of people eating people."

Manwa laughed and said.

Feng Yun took the bear's paw, smiled lightly but shook his head.

"It's very common for people to eat people."

"It's just that people eat a variety of foods and have a big appetite."

Feng Yun's eyes were slightly bright. At this moment, the sun was setting in the distance, the full moon was rising on the top of the mountain, and torches were also traveling among the mountains.

The first battle between Qielan Kingdom and King Yelang Sacu began.
