Chapter 906: Xuanyuan Bestows Official Ranks

Qing'e excitedly took a large step forward and hurriedly said, "So that's how it is, that's great, that's great! Envoy, what is your name? Let's hurry to our tribe and have a good discussion."

Qibo also gave a smile: "My name is Qibo."

Even the people of the Xuanyuan Tribe had heard this name, but in their impression, the main Leaders of the Xuanyuan Tribe were still Limu, Changxian, and Dahong; that Qibo was able to come this time showed that they still attached quite a bit of importance to it.

In order to save time, Qibo had already been inquiring about news regarding the Shennong Clan while on the road. The specific situation Qing'e described was about the same as what the envoys had said, but the current situation had also undergone some changes.

Regarding the force currently fighting the Tribal Alliance, Qing'e also provided a detailed explanation: "That force right now belongs to the Fengbo Tribe. It is said they can control great winds. The Tribal Chief is called Feilian, but because Linkui cannot give him enough support, they have not been able to organize a large-scale attack until now. However, when winter comes, they will certainly have some major movements."

Meanwhile, at the Fengbo Tribe, Feilian was also overwhelmed. Facing the current situation, he was truly in a difficult spot, but he also had his own plans.

If Qing'e and his people could go to the Xuanyuan Clan to ask for help, couldn't he look for another way out? It was one hundred percent certain that they could no longer stay in the Shennong Clan. He, along with the Yubo Tribe, had already been completely held hostage and coerced into attacking these Tribal Alliances.

As relatively large tribes within the Shennong Clan, their situation was very awkward. They could not defeat the Shennong Clan, yet they were constantly being exploited by Linkui, and the tribespeople were wailing in misery.

Originally, he had possessed relatively great power, but now that Xingtian was increasingly valued, he and others like the Yubo Chisongzi, who only understood rituals, seemed less important. Instead, only those who understood how to fight and possessed great martial strength could live better in the Shennong Clan. Otherwise, how could he have been assigned such an obviously impossible task?

The Tribal Chief of the Yubo Tribe, who was Chisongzi, was no better off. He was also leading his own tribespeople to attack other small tribes. Although his situation was not as severe as the one he faced, the places he went were further away, supplies were scarcer, and food was likely already becoming a problem.

Therefore, Feilian made a decisive choice to send an envoy to the Jiuli to find Chiyou. Compared to the Xuanyuan Tribe, he trusted Chiyou more. If he joined the Xuanyuan Tribe, there was a high probability he would need to go with Xuanyuan to oppose the Shennong Clan, and in the end, the situation for himself and his tribespeople would not have changed.

But if he joined the Jiuli, it would be completely different. He would be going to join them, not to request help. He would not need Chiyou to participate in the war; as long as Chiyou agreed, he could find a way to go back, bring over his remaining tribespeople, and go to the Jiuli together. If that really didn't work, he would just have to abandon a portion and preserve the majority.

The Jiuli were further to the east, so the envoy needed to take a very long detour to get there. As for the Tribal Alliance, he could only occasionally attack or harass them to go through the motions, while spending more time waiting for the envoy to bring back good news.

Xuanyuan saw off Baifeng and saw off Qibo. War was approaching, but work still had to continue. The tribe had to get its work going faster to ensure the situation for the upcoming war.

During his trip to Kongtong Mountain, Xuanyuan had learned the Dao of ruler and Subject. Although he did not yet have the ability to build the entire structure, he felt he could first divide the specific work of these people, dividing it clearly—just like in Huaxia—so that each was responsible for their own affairs, without the departure of one person disrupting the progress of other work.

Just like Qibo, who had originally begun to focus on Medicine, yet he also held other concurrent positions. Now that he had left, not only did the work in Medicine have to stop, but other work was also affected.

Thus, after pondering for a day, he did not wait for Qibo any longer and, just like in Huaxia, convened a very serious meeting, gathering almost all the Leaders of the Xuanyuan Tribe together.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground in the shade of a large tree. There was no meeting room as elaborate as in Huaxia, but this was the first time they had held a meeting of such scale.

Xuanyuan sat at the very front, facing everyone. He scanned them one by one, and seeing that everyone had arrived, he said: "Everyone, the war is about to begin, but the ruling and management model of our Xuanyuan Tribe is still very chaotic. In order to ensure the smooth progress of our war, I intend to put the knowledge I learned before Guangchengzi at Kongtong Mountain into practical use now."

"The main idea is to specifically determine your work. Whatever you are capable of, that is what you shall do. Keep your tasks focused; we cannot continue to be as chaotic as before."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sat up straighter. They had also discovered this problem, but it had been done this way for generations, and no one had ever changed it, nor did they know how to change it.

Limu felt this more keenly, especially after seeing the likes of Xiong in Huaxia. As the person who led troops into battle for the Xuanyuan Tribe, his power was divided by Leaders like Qibo. In reality, his actual power was much smaller than it appeared, and most of the time, he still had to act as Xuanyuan's guard. By comparison, the imposing Xiong made him feel somewhat envious.

Xuanyuan did not need their consent to arrange everyone's work, because he knew better than anyone what everyone was capable of and what they knew. So he arranged it straightforwardly: "Changxian, Dahong, you two shall assist me in managing civil affairs, belonging to the rank of Minister."

Changxian and Dahong looked at each other, then immediately knelt on the ground to accept the order, thanking Xuanyuan.

Subsequently, Xuanyuan continued: "Limu, you shall be the General, responsible for managing the soldiers and the war; you also need to assist me."

Upon hearing this arrangement, Limu knelt down immediately. He was more excited than anyone, because this appointment truly meant he would be able to possess enough say and allow himself to exert his full strength on the battlefield.

Afterward, Xuanyuan called the name of a person who was not particularly outstanding, which surprised everyone: "Taichang, you have merit in observing the land and planting crops. I order you from now on to be in charge of all agricultural affairs for the tribe."
