One month after the Chinese envoy returned to Chinatown to report to Hua Xi, the situation in Guangzhou was extremely volatile and unpredictable.
After receiving the first batch of substantial funding from Hua Xi, several tribes that had previously been in conflict with Ai Zezi because of their support for the White Wolf clan elders began to join forces and frequently launched attacks on the White Wolf clan, joining the queue for hegemony. They originally occupied an obvious position.
The advantage of the White Wolf Tribe declined rapidly after these tribes joined the battle group. Ai Zezi was surprised to find that these small barbaric tribes actually had copper weapons at some point since they launched the attack.
The tribes coordinated like a unified command. Whenever they went to war with other tribes, they would attack themselves from the side for a while. The White Wolf tribe's territory was eroded a lot.
But after all, Jiang is still old and hot. Ai Zezi's skills cannot be solved with just one or two free throws. After a series of random stick attacks, Ai Zezi quickly woke up from his dazed stupor and organized his troops.
, some checkpoints were built to limit the attack routes of these tribes, and this annoying piece of dog-skin plaster was temporarily solved. Of course, Ai Zezi didn't know that this was all Hua Xi's fault, and even sent an invitation to Hua Xi.
came to assist them in conquering several large tribes in the southeast, and promised that the gains after the war would be divided equally between both sides.
At present, the scope of strength controlled by the White Wolf Clan has been reduced to the original 56 Guangzhou. The vast land suddenly broke out and became a battlefield where dragons and tigers fight.
Fancheng, about sixty miles east of Kulun City, the main city of the White Wolf Clan, is the White Wolf Clan's current territory of power and a military stronghold to the east. It is the bridgehead against most of the tribes in the southeast. Three days ago, Su
Under the orders of the new patriarch and old boss Ai Zezi, the brothers set out from Kulun City with three thousand troops to attack the Kotou, Leopard, and Gan tribes in the southeast. The three tribes camped on the west bank of the Fan River outside Fan City and did not hesitate.
Showing weakness and leading the attack, the Kotou tribe set up camp on the small plain east of the Fan River, forming a close relationship with the Leopard tribe and the Gan tribe stationed on the northeast bank of the Fan River. (Please note, these three tribes are not Hua Xi.)
Those tribes who secretly bewitched) for several days, the two armies fought fiercely, and the fighting was so fierce that it can be seen from the blood-stained river bank of the Fan River.
Hua Xi led Hua Feng, Hua Yong, dozens of priests, generals, and a thousand soldiers, and rushed to the Su brothers' camp. It was almost dusk. They were three hundred miles east of the Su family's camp.
At night when the Chinese people set up camp, Su Mu ordered someone to come over and send a message, saying that a banquet had been held in the big tent to welcome Hua Xi and others. Since they were allies, and the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Hua Xi naturally would not worry about what kind of Hongmen Banquet the other party would hold.

"Excuse me, please go back and let me know. I'll be there in a few minutes," Hua Xi said loudly, sitting on the big tiger-skin chair with a majestic look on his face.
After the visitor responded, he bowed respectfully to Hua Xi, slowly exited the tent, and returned to his tribe's camp.
Half an hour later, Hua Xi brought Hua Yong and several senior generals to the camp of the White Wolf tribe. Everyone entered the camp gate (the gate of the ancient military camp should also be applicable in this barbaric era!) and arrived not far from the main tent.
, Hua Xi glanced around and saw that the entire military camp was brightly lit and people were looking forward to it. Except for some shouting, there was no sound of soldiers making any noise.
Hua Xi's heart froze, and he thought to himself: I didn't expect that after two years of flood control and the past few months of fighting, Su Mu's ability to command the army would be much richer.
In Hua Xi's extreme shock, not long after it was announced that soldiers from the White Wolf tribe had entered the tent, a magnetic and trembling voice came out coldly from the tent: "Is it the leader of Hua Xi? Haha, that's wrong.
Welcome from afar, please forgive me!"
Hearing this, Hua Xi suddenly focused his attention back and looked up, only to see Su Musu and his brothers striding out of the tent with the crowd. The bronze armor they wore jingled with the steps.
rattling
The two parties exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then walked into the tent together. Outside the main tent, four torches filled with pine oil were lit on the left and right sides, making the tent warm and bright.
The tent is very large and can accommodate more than twenty people sitting together. But the first thing that catches the eye is a huge bronze cauldron in the center of the tent. The heat is boiling inside, and some pieces of meat and grains are constantly flowing from the soup in the cauldron.
It is obviously that this large cauldron is made by the skilled craftsmen of the Chinese tribe, because the body of the cauldron is covered with some patterns of flowers, grass, insects and fish. Although I cannot say that the patterns are lifelike, they are also vivid, delicate and graceful.
After the group of people exchanged greetings and sat down, Hua Xi also began to carefully look at the people in the tent. The flames on the torches outside the tent were jumping. Under the bright and flashing firelight, Sumu sat high on an animal skin chair in the middle.
In front of it is a large desk, with several mighty and strong White Wolf warriors standing behind it.
On the left side of Su Mu, opposite Hua Xi and others, sat several men wearing bronze armor like the Su brothers. Su He was also among them. It seems that he did not have the status of his brother Su Mu in the tribe.
high
After a quick look, Hua Xi was surprised at Su Mu's current commanding power, but there was no surprise on his face. He bowed his hands to Su Mu without any humility and shouted loudly: "Thank you for your love, Chief Su."
, I am deeply honored to be able to help you in this critical moment!"
"Haha, blah, blah, blah, we, the White Wolf Tribe, can get help from your Chinese tribe, so we should!" Su Mu said politely quickly. He was very happy that Hua Xi could send troops to help his tribe at this critical moment.
Although the dinner was full of meat and grains, for people of this era, it was more delicious than delicacies from mountains and seas. The atmosphere of the dinner was very good. Both parties spent this short and beautiful moment talking and laughing. At the end, Su Mu also
I specially ordered someone to bring a bunch of fruit wine bought from the market in China City. I could drink this kind of thing at this time. The atmosphere in the tent was so lively that the soldiers outside the tent could hear voices coming from inside the tent from time to time.
shouts
Good times are always fleeting. After the dinner, the topics everyone talked about also returned from laughter to serious war.
Su Mu lowered his head and looked at the ground in front of the case. On his heroic and deep face, his eyebrows were twisted together. Hua Xi followed his gaze and saw that the ground was criss-crossed. It was drawn out on the mud with a sharp weapon. Fancheng area

"The combined forces of the three tribes are very strong. Now the troops they have gathered on the other side have made new movements." Su Mu said slowly, his voice paused. He raised his head and scanned the people in the tent, his eyes brighter than the dancing firelight.
Bright and sharp, he said solemnly: "According to the reports from the soldiers we sent out, the Kobolds stationed in the east crossed the Fan River more than ten miles downstream an hour ago, and now they have disappeared. I suspect that there is something going on in their camp on the east bank.
An empty tent, but actually he wants to take a detour to the west and sneak attack on our army's rear."
Everyone nodded in agreement while listening. Even Hua Xi couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients. It seems that tactics such as detours, outflanking, and sneak attacks can be understood by anyone who often leads troops in battles. It has been proven once again that human ancestors and descendants
The wisdom is the same, but the degree of development and experience are different.
Hua Xi had no doubts about Su Mu's statement and nodded in agreement naturally.
After Su Mu glanced at Hua Xi for a few times, he suddenly stood up and shouted to Hua Xi: "Big Chief, the results of this battle are very important. I hope that you will spare no effort to fight with our White Wolf tribe against these ferocious foreigners. Of course,
After the matter is completed, everything will be as originally agreed upon, and both parties will share the proceeds equally!"
Hua Xi came here to eat a piece of meat, so naturally he had a united attitude, and Su Mu's request was of course not a problem.
"Of course, we must obey Chief Su's orders this time," Hua Xi said with cupped hands. However, Hua Yong didn't think so. His own clan leader is the leader of a large tribe, so who is this Su Mu kid? Hua Yong was about to say
He retorted, but Hua Xi stopped him with his eyes. Hua Yong snorted angrily and sat down on the bench with a snap.
Seeing Hua Yong's appearance, Su Mu naturally knew what was going on and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, how can I dare to order you, the big leader? We are all equals. If the big leader can raise troops to help us, it's already
This is a great debt of gratitude to me as a member of the White Wolf Clan."
Hua Xi laughed loudly a few times, discussed the division of labor with Su Mu, and then took Hua Yong and others to say goodbye and return to their camp.
"Hmph, old Batur, since you dare to confuse the Leopard Clan and the Gan Clan to invade our White Wolf Clan, I, Su Mu, will make you regret it for the rest of your life! Brother, Shiba, you each take two thousand people and set off immediately, according to what we just discussed
By this time tomorrow, I want to see old Batur’s head under the camp gate!”
"Here!" they both responded in unison, turned around and walked out of the tent.
