At night, a guard from the king's tent came to the Hua family's stronghold and told Hua Kai that Tie Fa had invited him.
When Hua Kai arrived at the king's tent, he saw that only Tie Fa was waiting for him.
"Tie Fa, why are you looking for me so late at night?" Hua Kai asked. They had just parted ways in the afternoon.
"Brother Hua Kai, I won't hide it from you.
In the past four years, the Ordos Tribe has been supported by the food you left behind. In addition, before the drought ended, we managed to survive the food crisis. That's why the number of slaves in the tribe increased rapidly.
The entire tribe is happy because of this, but it's not that simple. "
Tie Fa pulled a chair over for Hua Kai. Because of the Hua family's influence, the Ordos Tribe had started to have some tables and chairs.
Hua Kai knew that Tie Fa could only say this to him. He could also guess the pressure the Ordos Tribe was under. The strength of a tribe depended on its overall strength and high-end combat ability. Four years ago, the Ordos Tribe was a medium-sized tribe. Now, it had the largest population in the Hun Kingdom. Would the other large tribes allow it to continue like this?
"A few years ago, the large tribes in the Hun Kingdom sold large amounts of slaves to us in order to obtain more goods and reduce the pressure of the food shortage.
This year, many of their cattle and sheep have started to recover. Their attitude towards the Ordos Tribe has also changed greatly. This year, we have already had conflicts with many large tribes around us. I've been restraining myself. If we start a war with many tribes at the same time, we won't be a match for them. "Tie Fa explained the tribe's predicament.
The Ordos Tribe's predicament was even more difficult than what Tie Fa had just said. They had many people, many livestock, and were very rich. Today, Hua Kai saw that one of their Xiantian Realm experts wasn't in the tribe. He must have gone to the border!
"How many large tribes have had conflicts with the Ordos Tribe?
How many medium-sized tribes are there? "Hua Kai asked.
"There are four large tribes. According to the news from the border, two more tribes have sent experts to deal with us.
There are three medium-sized tribes. "Tie Fa lowered his head and said.
There were only ten and a half large tribes in the entire Hun Kingdom, and more than half of them had started to attack the Erdos Tribe. At this time, the Erdos Tribe did not dare to act rashly. If they were not careful, they would be torn apart by the wolves.
"It's still alright. It's much better than what I imagined. Six major tribes provoked the Erdos Tribe at the same time. The Erdos Tribe should be the strongest tribe aside from the Karazin Tribe. How could the Karazin Tribe allow you to develop in peace?" Hua Kai analyzed.
Tie Fa nodded with a bitter expression. This was what he was most worried about.
The Karaqin Tribe was the only super tribe in Hun Country. The Karaqin Tribe's chief was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and called himself the Hun King. He was an overlord in Hun Country. The Ordos Tribe had yet to be listed as a major tribe in Hun Country, so they might be facing pressure from all the other tribes in Hun Country.
"We are analyzing the current situation.
Firstly, the Karaqin tribe probably wouldn't allow the Erdos tribe to continue growing. They didn't even need another large tribe.
Secondly, the Karaqin tribe must have communicated with all the other large tribes. Perhaps they have already discussed how to divide the spoils after eliminating the Erdos Tribe.
Thirdly, the Erdos Tribe is already on the opposite side of the original ten major tribes. We will have to face the competition of the ten major tribes of the Hun Grassland, "Hua Kai analyzed.
"Yes, I didn't think so much before. The situation should be more serious than we thought. The ten major tribes have one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and more than twenty Xiantian Realm cultivators. They also have four times more warriors than us. We won't be a match for them," Tie Fa said as he looked at Hua Kai.
"Even so, we have our own advantages," Hua Kai suddenly changed the topic.
"What advantages do we have?"
Tie Fa couldn't imagine that they had any hope of winning. Perhaps he could only abandon his tribe and escape to the west with his core members.
"At the very least, we know that the Karaqin Tribe is behind this," Hua Kai said.
"What's the use of knowing? Even if we can stop the Hun King, they have far more Xiantian Realm cultivators than us. Our warriors and weapons are useless against Xiantian Realm cultivators," Tie Fa said dejectedly.
"That's very useful!
Actually, you can think of this as a battle between the kings of the Hun Kingdom. The two people fighting are you and the Hun King, the Erdos Tribe and the Karaqin Tribe.
The Karaqin Tribe is located in the northernmost part of the Hun Kingdom, while the Erdos Tribe is located in the south. They are the attackers, while we are the defenders. This is the most advantageous situation for us, "Hua Kai said. Tie Fa nodded.
"We can divide the Hun Kingdom into five parts. The first part is the Karaqin Tribe, which is our core opponent. They occupy about twenty percent of the Hun Kingdom's land.
The second part is the other nine major tribes. They are the followers of the Karaqin Tribe and occupy half of the Hun Kingdom's land.
The third part is the small and medium-sized tribes that are neutral. They don't dare to offend the major tribes.
The fourth part is the 40 or so subordinate tribes of the Erdos Tribe. Their strength is far from the nine major tribes, but they can't be underestimated.
The fifth part is us. Although the Karaqin Tribe is wary of us, they don't know our true strength. This is our greatest opportunity, "Hua Kai said with a smile.
Hearing this, Tie Fa felt a bit more confident. The grassland tribes worshipped strength, and there were very few people who could analyze the big picture. Tie Fa, who had originally thought that there was no hope, saw Hua Kai's smile and immediately regained his confidence.
"Brother, don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me how to deal with the crisis in front of us!
If they all attack at the same time, we don't have the strength to resist, "Tie Fa said anxiously.
"There's no rush. The nine major tribes don't have the strength to fight us alone. They won't dare to attack first," Hua Kai said confidently.
No tribe was willing to fight to the death with the Erdos Tribe and let the other tribes take advantage of them. The more they knew that the Erdos Tribe was about to be destroyed, the more cautious they would be. The more the Erdos Tribe tried to preserve their strength, the more careful they would be.
"Let me tell you about the five major factions of the grassland. The Karaqin Tribe has already taken over 70% of the grassland of the Xiongnu Kingdom. We and our subordinate tribes have less than 30%.
The Karaqin tribe is more than 1,600 miles away from us. In order to maintain their image as the overlord of the Xiongnu Kingdom, they probably won't attack us at will. Therefore, what we need to do is to hide our strength as much as possible and delay their attacks. After a few years, the situation may change greatly. "Hua Kai set a big development plan.
"Then what should we do now?
Are we just going to waste time like this? "Tie Fa asked.
"The Karaqin Tribe is using their subordinate tribes to pressure us. We can also use our subordinate tribes to deal with their attack.
First, we can increase the strength of our subordinate tribes and let them reduce the pressure on us. We can give them territory and resources. If they have pills, weapons, and other support, they will definitely be able to take a large part of the pressure on the Erdos Tribe. After all, they don't know that our enemy is the Karaqin Tribe.
"Second, we can rope in all the neutral tribes that we can. If they join us, that's even better. If they don't join us, we can try not to make them hostile to us. We can also make a lot of profits by trading with them.
Third, we can send people to contact the tribes that are hostile to us. They are only attacking us for benefits. If we can give them benefits, it will definitely reduce their hostility.
In their hearts, they don't want the Karaqin Tribe to be the dominant tribe.
Fourth, we can tell this news to all the core members of the Erdos Tribe. Let everyone know the danger that the tribe is facing. We can set up a plan for the future development of the tribe and strive to divide the northern and southern regions with the Karaqin Tribe.
Lastly, we have to be careful of the Hun King's decapitation plan. If we can equip all the Xiantian Realm warriors with a divine chariot, then if the Hun King attacks, as long as all the Xiantian Realm warriors can escape, he won't dare to do anything to the Erdos Tribe. Otherwise, with four Xiantian Realm warriors with divine chariots, it will be too easy for them to take revenge on a tribe. "
Hua Kai didn't say anything else. As the chief of the Erdos Tribe, Tie Fa was more knowledgeable than Hua Kai when it came to details.
Tie Fa smiled in his heart. The Erdos Tribe had a large amount of salt, cloth, tea, and other resources that the grassland urgently needed. It was too easy to rope in a tribe.
After Hua Kai's reminder, he suddenly felt that even facing the Karaqin Tribe wasn't that scary. Since that was the case, then what was there to be afraid of?
"Brother Hua, with your advice, I feel much more at ease. If the Hun King dares to come to the Erdos Tribe, we will definitely let him know what it means to not fear death. In these few years, I have also learned many of the Hua family's methods. Now, the herders and slaves are all willing to die for the tribe." Tie Fa was full of confidence as he spoke.
It was all because Hua Kai had told him about the loyalty of all the Banner Masters in the tribe four years ago. In these few years, he had supported the Banner Masters and slaves, and they had all improved rapidly. This was why he had his current prestige in the tribe.
"That's right, we have already used up most of the slaves in the Erdos Tribe. Now, we have more than 200,000 slaves in the tribe. Most of them were bought in the past four years. Tomorrow, you have to pick out another batch of talented ones for me. The elixirs and strange stones I collected have all been sent to the Hua family's camp. This time, I can pick out another batch of elixirs. This time, I will definitely give the Karaqin Tribe a big surprise!"
