Chapter 1431: Easily Obtained Benefits
Such conditions, Lu was naturally more than willing to agree to, because for Huaxia, there were only benefits and no drawbacks. All Huaxia wanted was the territory of the Xuanyuan Tribe; as for the population of the Shennong Clan, there was no such urgent need now. Of course, being able to bring them back was naturally good; after all, no one would complain about having too few people on their own territory.
Huaxia could now also temporarily abandon the path of comprehensive prosperity and elite development. With such a massive population, it was impossible for Huaxia to take care of everyone comprehensively, so, just like most of the Suiren Clan people now, letting them continue living their previous lives would suffice.
When Huaxia's reach could extend that far, it would be fine to go and transform them then, teaching them farming and construction. In a few years, they could at least be made to have enough to eat and wear. As for the transformation of their spiritual and cultural aspects, waiting a few more years would be nothing.
As for the current intention of Jiang Yuwang and his two tribes, as long as Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe agreed, Huaxia could immediately allocate the land here to the Xuanyuan Tribe, and the Xuanyuan Tribe's land would also be allocated to Huaxia in proportion.
As for Jiang Yuwang and the others wanting to go elsewhere to find a new place to live, what did that have to do with Huaxia? That was the Xuanyuan Tribe's business, because in the end, the entire territory of the Shennong Clan would be occupied by the Xuanyuan Tribe. If people from other tribes were living and hunting on his territory, how to deal with them was his business, and it had nothing to do with Huaxia.
The final agreement, the oaths and such, were not broken by Huaxia, but by the Xuanyuan Tribe; Lu felt no psychological pressure at all.
However, Lu had also underestimated Xuanyuan. With this sudden realization, Xuanyuan had cleared up the pros and cons of this matter for himself. He had to take down the Shennong Clan, and in the end, all the tribes living on the Shennong Clan's land would belong to the Xuanyuan Tribe.
If they were obedient and willing to submit to the Xuanyuan Tribe, then he was a Tribal Chief who was wiser and kinder than this generation's Shennong, capable of bringing them a better life. If they were unwilling, that was fine too; if he could defeat the Shennong Clan, was he afraid he couldn't defeat them?
As for whether Jiang Yuwang and Jiang Ke had thought this far ahead, it was unknown. After all, if they were thinking about leaving the Shennong Clan, they should have considered everything that might happen later. They should also be able to realize that no matter who occupied the Shennong Clan, these tribes of theirs would eventually have to have an object of submission, unless they felt they could withstand the attack.
In the plan of Jiang Yuwang and Jiang Ke, their departure was just a delaying process, escaping the war, escaping the center of the controversy, and allowing their own tribes a chance to catch their breath and survive. Otherwise, such a large-scale war of annihilation started by two tribes would be enough to wipe both of their tribes out.
In the end, whoever won was fine, it didn't matter. If Shennong won, that was also fine; by then, the Shennong Clan would be even weaker, weak to the point of having no strength to manage them. And if the Xuanyuan Tribe won, he would just take the opportunity to join them. With so many people under his command, since Fengbo and Yushi could secure a good path for him, the people in his hands were his bargaining chips.
During the negotiations, both sides had naturally thought through all the pros and cons clearly, and had a clear plan for the future path, which was why they dared to sit together to conduct negotiations.
It was just that the news Jiang Yuwang brought was not quite the same as what the Second Battalion Commander had said. Lu felt that he would agree, but Xuanyuan might not necessarily agree, so he said to Jiang Yuwang: "Tribal Chief Jiang, you two go drink tea and eat meat here first. I will go discuss this with Tribal Chief Xuanyuan first; this is not a matter for just one of us."
Jiang Yuwang had no power to stop them, so he simply did not speak. Lu and Xuanyuan stood up at the same time, then walked around to the back and began to discuss while standing.
Lu put his hands on his waist and said quite cheerfully: "Tribal Chief Xuanyuan, I am very willing to agree to his conditions. After all, this is a very good thing for our Huaxia, very beneficial to us. It's just that it's different for your Xuanyuan Tribe. Have you thought about how to do it?"
Xuanyuan's tone did not have a hint of unhappiness: "I can certainly do this. Such a good thing, being able to obtain such a large piece of land without having to lift a finger, why wouldn't I do it?"
"As for them saying they will live in other parts of the Shennong Clan..."
"Lu, this doesn't count as a good thing for your Huaxia, right? After all, you don't want the Shennong Clan's territory, and in the end, they will be on my territory, so the population will have nothing to do with you."
"We in Huaxia have taken the benefits, so it is only right that your Xuanyuan Tribe takes some benefits too. Besides, our benefits were easier to get, weren't they?"
Xuanyuan's eyes shifted: "Then it's settled? Agree to their method?"
"I have no objections."
"Then I have no objections either. It just so happens that there is still some time now, so we can go to other places to conquer some small tribes and have them migrate inward. There probably won't be any major wars for the rest of this year."
Lu lifted his leg and started to walk back: "There definitely won't be any major wars, because we can't fight anymore. We don't have many Bombs left. You can just pretend that we have already lost thousands of Soldiers. Even if there were a big battle now, it would be hard to fight. Unless you are willing to watch your Soldiers die out, we still have to leave when it's time to leave."
"Good, good, no big battles this year, that is the greatest good thing."
The two discussed and settled it, then returned to their seats. Jiang Yuwang was shocked by the speed of the two. After all, the three of them had discussed for a very, very long time yesterday before finally confirming this plan. How could the two of them have finished discussing in just this short while? Was the relationship between Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe consistent to this degree? Looking at their two envoys yesterday, they didn't feel that compatible.
"You, you have already discussed it?" Jiang Yuwang felt it was inconceivable.
He was waiting for the result quite anxiously, and he was also quite worried, so he kept drinking water, kept drinking water. A Soldier wearing Full Armor beside him, the Iron Armor on his body clanking, added water and honey for him, and said nothing.
He was also observing. He discovered that the Soldiers standing here were almost motionless, just standing there stiffly, and had been standing for a long time. He found it hard to believe that this was something humans could do. He couldn't even describe such behavior. He felt that as long as such Soldiers were told to go to the battlefield, they would definitely be invincible, and they would strike exactly where they were told. Even if they were told to go to their deaths, they wouldn't have a hint of hesitation.
