"Tell me, what do you want? If your wishes are related to other people in the world and cannot be satisfied and accepted by others except yourself, then the result will only be disaster and destruction..."

This was in Chonghua's big tent. In front of him was Gong Fei Li Wang, the great witch of Fei Li tribe. The tent was not big but was a treasure. It was sewn with double layers of material. The outer layer was animal skin and the inner layer was silk. A candle was lit on the table, but the candlelight could not penetrate the tent at all. There was no way to notice that there was someone in the tent, and even the sound could not be heard, which could prevent the spiritual sense from spying.

Chonghua's identity is very sensitive. He was a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu, just like Lu Zhong. His father, Biansou, was the sixth-generation grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu. Emperor Zhuanxu used both hard and soft governance. On the one hand, he implemented the government orders of the world's tribes to promote the world's tribes, and on the other hand, he also implemented the strategy of being gentle. Zhuanxu inspected all tribes in the world. As long as he had some influence, he would marry one of the women as his concubine, and he left behind a lot of descendants.

These descendants are scattered, and they cannot be all nobles. For example, Blind is a commoner. However, Chonghua's talent and reputation spread all over the world and were valued by Emperor Yao. He became the leader of the Youyu tribe, regained his status as a nobleman, and now he holds important positions in the court.

During Danzhu's southern tour, Chonghua was accompanied. Last year, when he was conferring five great wizards as Bojun, he was also an envoy. He knew many situations in this area and was familiar with many people. Fei Li Wang, the great wizard of Fei Li Wang in Fei Li's tribe in front of him, was nominated by Chonghua at the time, otherwise Fei Li Wang would not have a great chance of taking this position.

In a sense, Fei Liwang is Chonghua's confidant and confidant in Jiuli. Today, Fei Liwang represents the five great wizards, and came to discuss with Lord Chonghua alone after nightfall. Hearing Lord Chonghua's question, Fei Liwang lowered his head and could not answer. Chonghua's words were filled with divine thoughts and reviewed the history and current situation of Jiuli.

Chonghua pointed out that the biggest problem of Jiuli is not that they are hostile and isolated from all tribes in the world as they think they are, but that they always refuse to integrate into a normal tribal coexistence society, subconsciously regard everyone except the people as aliens, and instinctively carry innate hostility.

In this case, how could Jiuli not be isolated and hostile, and constantly expelled and weakened?

The mythological history passed down by word of mouth by word of mouth by Jiuli claims that it has been bullied for hundreds of years, so it continues to migrate far away from the Southern Wilderness, but it never forgets to inherit Chiyou's will and one day it will conquer the world under the leadership of the Gu God.

The oral history of the tribe is constantly evolving and re-compiling. If people of all generations constantly instill a sense of hatred into their tribes and become a spiritual consensus rooted in everyone's heart, this impact would be too great. Jiuli is always accumulating strength to provoke conflicts or even vendettas, who can welcome them?

When Chiyou rebelled and his remnants were convicted after his defeat, this is normal. The world is so big that all kinds of conflicts of all sizes have erupted between the tribes for so many years, which is not surprising. But Jiuli has always had these in his eyes and his heart, and that is the problem.

Not all the remaining Chiyou tribes moved south. Many people still lived in their original place back then, including the Youyu tribe who was the leader of the king of the city and the Hougang tribe who was the leader of the king of the city. Many of them were descendants of Jiuli hundreds of years ago. Looking back now, they were not isolated from hostility, nor were people without surnames, but integrated into the modern era.

During the process of Jiuli's migration south, small branches and tribes continued to leave, merge with the tribes in the world, or develop independently to coexist. But there were always other people who insisted on treating other tribes as aliens and refused such integration and coexistence, so that they moved further and further away.

Nowadays, the three major divisions of Huali, Shuili, and Wuli have long been divided and scattered, becoming part of the Chinese tribes, while the Benli tribe has integrated into Chongchen. However, after the other five remaining divisions came to the Southern Wilderness, they still maintained their original mentality and experienced the secret control of the "Gu God". The more Jiuli did this, the more difficult the situation was, and the more harm it might bring to himself and others.

Danzhu once gave Jiuli an opportunity to bridge the gap with the outside world, that is, accept the emperor's enthronement and integration into various Chinese ministries, and promote the imperial education to improve people's livelihood. But what did Jiuli tribes do? Taking this opportunity to integrate their forces and provoke conflicts and fights at all costs.

There are also a series of questions in Chonghua's divine consciousness. Over the past 200 years since he moved to the Southern Wilderness, have people always praised their heroic and unyielding fighting spirit and their courage to take up weapons to rush? This is indeed a kind of praise. After hearing it too much, the people may also boast of it.

But what is the purpose of these praises? If they come from the outside world, they may want to use the sword of the people to deal with their enemies. For example, Chongchen and Gonggong both wanted to use Jiuli to restrain each other. All kinds of small actions and instigations in secret have never stopped in the past two hundred years.

On the other hand, what is Jiuli's own purpose? If they still insist on treating other tribes other than the people as aliens, and their slogan is to conquer aliens and refuse normal interactions outside of conflict, no one can tolerate this situation.

Moreover, doing so will only make Jiuli weaker, more and more isolated and closed, and more and more backward and remote. To be sad, Jiuli has not been a disaster for two hundred years, not because Jiuli has no evil intentions, but because his strength is too weak. If Jiuli wants to improve his situation and learn to live in harmony with various ministries, then Chonghua is willing to do his best to help.

After a while, Fei Liwang looked up and said, "It was Chongchen's army who took action first, and Wu Hui was the invader."

Chonghua asked back: "Didn't you say hello to you before Wu Hui took action? He just did what he said! I can tell you clearly that Wu Hui should be punished for this refusal, but is Jiuli not responsible?

What is the purpose of Gu Lizhong refusing to hand over the Benliu Village clan? If it were to protect them, why would those people be slaughtered without any defense? Jiuli had long planned to incite Chongchen's army to take action, hoping to take the opportunity to lure Wu Hui to send troops so as to cause severe damage.

But you underestimated Wu Hui. Since he was going to fight this battle, he would not act as you expected. Wu came back half a year earlier than you expected, so Jiuli was caught off guard, right?"

Fei Liwang did not answer this question directly, but answered: "After Fei Li Chi's death, Gu Li Zhong was the oldest and most prestigious great wizard king among the five major departments. He had been planning for this for many years in secret."

Chonghua said meaningfully: "Fortunately he is dead, right?"

Fei Liwang: "Yes, that 'Gu God', Fei Li Chi, Gu Li Zhong are all dead now."

Chonghua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since that's the case, many obstacles have been cleared, and many things can see hope, it depends on whether you want to seize hope. No matter how I make a decision today, this war has ended and the result cannot be changed.

What did you get? Did you really defeat it? Over the past decades, you have saved up all your money and lost more than 4,000 elite young and middle-aged people. This is the result you want?

Chongchen tribe is the enemy of your battle. But if anyone else promotes stupid words like everyone in the Chongchen tribe deserves to die, please be the first to kill him, because that will only bring disaster to the extermination of the clan, no matter who it is to destroy.

There is no way to tell who is innocent on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield, before and after the war, there are always people who want to incite crimes and get involved in innocent things just to achieve their own pitiful goals. How will Jiuli deal with himself after the war?"

Although Jiuli won, he was already disabled by Wu Hui. He was no longer able to provoke any conflicts for at least two or three decades, and he could only lurk in the depths of the wilderness and rely on the right place to rest. In this case, if he still did not let go of his original mentality, would anyone be willing to help them? Do you still want to wait for Jiuli to recover in the future and accumulate strength and then give him a knife?

Fei Liwang is also a smart person, otherwise he would not have been attracted by Chonghua at the beginning. He quickly said, "Please give me advice!"

Chonghua said expressionlessly: "I can give you the chance, but Lord Danzhu has already given it. I would like to ask, Lord Boyi killed all the evil spirits, and Fengxianjun found out that Gu God. Have you ever been truly grateful to you, the leaders of the Nine Li tribes? Even if you have that moment of gratitude in your heart, are you willing to really get along with sincerity?"

Fei Liwang still did not answer directly, but said something else: "Gu Lizhong is dead. Not only did the five elite soldiers suffer heavy losses in this battle, but the people who have revenge and are willing to kill are also injured and killed. I don't want to see the people in trouble forever, but I hope that things in the world will turn around."

Chonghua: "You may not want to lose your power and be in trouble, right? It's okay to have this idea. As long as the 'thought of not wanting to see the people in trouble forever' is really good. The so-called turning point is not only given by others, but also by yourself."

He spread out a map drawn on the animal skin on the table and said, "The first step is to draw a clear territory between you five Bojuns. The vast wilderness outside the territory is a place where you can explore yourself, but the existing areas between each other must be clearly divided.

The second step is to formally truce and make an oath. This is not a covenant between the three tribes of Chongchen, Gonggong and Jiuli, but a covenant between the seven tribes of Chongchen, Gonggong, Gu Li, Fei Li, Qi Li, Muli, and Shanli.

The territory of your Feili tribe is being inserted into the center of the five major divisions, so some things will start from Feili. The Chinese emperor can help you open business roads and build city blocks; and you must truly become one of the Bojuns of various Chinese tribes, promote the imperial education since ancient times, implement Chinese government orders, etiquette and laws, and keep the hearts of the people."

Fei Liwang: "I may do this, but what about the other four?"

Chonghua: "They want to do it, that's their business. But we need to let people see that only those who do this can get benefits and help. It won't take long for the people to find that different situations will be different."

Fei Liwang asked again: "What if this move is hostile, will Fei Li's troops attract attacks from most other troops?"

Chonghua sneered: "If you still have to attack dissidents in this situation, it will be hopeless! But you are willing to be content with mercy. If you suffer unreasonable attacks, the Chinese tribes will not sit idly by and keep the covenant... In your opinion, who among the other four major tribes may follow this move?"

Fei Liwang thought for a long time before answering: "The Qi Li tribe is the most likely, and the Gu Li tribe is also possible."

Chonghua pondered: "There are many skilled craftsmen in the Qili tribe who are good at making artifacts. Many other tribes like to recruit them. I am not surprised that they have this idea. The Gu Li tribe is located in the most biased place and has the deepest resentment. Why is it possible?"

Fei Liwang pointed to the map and said, "If the Five Bosses clearly define the territory, the Gu Li tribe will be completely separated from the other three major divisions by my Fei Li. In this battle, not only did Gu Li Zhong die, but the Gu Li tribe suffer the greatest losses. What I Fei Li tribe needs is to recuperate, while what Gu Li tribe needs is to survive..."

Chonghua waved his hand and said, "No need to say much, I understand."

Opening the road, expanding the countryside, and building the city can not only improve the situation of the people, but also consume their main forces in internal construction rather than external conflicts. Chonghua also asked the five Bojuns to clearly define the territory and collect the recognition of the various ministries in the world and the protection of the alliance. This is a request that no one will refuse.

Then what Fei Liwang needs to do is the so-called "Bojun governing the people". On this point, Chongbogu and Chonghua can be regarded as examples among the Chinese tribes. Chonghua also hopes that Fei Liwang can become the example among the five major ministries of Jiuli. More importantly, the Fei Liwang should take the lead in making changes and give up some things to get other things.

Chonghua finally patted Fei Liwang on the shoulder and said, "It is also a great achievement to open up the southern desert for China. If you want to change the world, you must do something first, and start with you today."

...

"Last year, I accepted a disciple named Ziqiu. Ziqiu was taught under my disciple. I heard a lot of your deeds and admired you very much. This time, I came here with Chonghua as the deputy envoy, and Ziqiu left his hometown and traveled far away. He also wanted to use the newly opened road Lord Chongbogu to visit you and ask you for advice.

I once gave him a token, but I don’t know where he has gone, but I saw you here…”

This is in Hougang's tent. He was talking to Huwa. The two had been chatting for a long time. Huwa asked back: "Ziqiu? Listen to this person's name, is it because he was from the Jiqiu clan?"

Hou Gang smiled and said, "He is indeed a member of the Jiqiu clan, and he is a rare talented and quick-witted person."

Before Hougang returned home, Hou Lechang, the lord of the city of Weicheng who was in charge of the tribe, had a good relationship with the neighboring Jiqiu clan. Hougang later killed Hou Lechang, and Liang Jineng committed suicide due to shame and anger. His relationship with the Jiqiu clan was a little nervous for a while. But the matter was over. After all, Hougang clan and Jiqiu clan were just neighbors rather than enemies, so there was no need to continue to be hostile.

Conflicts like villagers' armed fights occur frequently, and according to the law, the two ministries are more intermarriages and transactions. Hougang specially accepted an outstanding talent from the Jiqiu family as his disciple, which is actually a means to ease the relationship and show closeness. Under Hougang's training, if Ziqiu can become the head of the Jiqiu family in the future, the relationship between the two ministries will be more harmonious.

Huwa also smiled and said, "If that Ziqiu came to me with your token, even if I am not here, Fengxian Kingdom will definitely receive you well. The disciples you can like and deliberately mention to me will definitely be extraordinary. I am also very curious about what kind of talent he is?"

Just then, a guard outside the door reported that Lord Chonghua asked to see King Fengxian. He had something to talk to King Fengxian. Hougang quickly got up and picked up the curtain to invite King Chonghua in. He went out to give the place to Chonghua and Huwa. Chonghua shook his head politely and said, "I won't disturb Lord Hougang to rest. I want to ask King Fengxian to go out for a walk together."

Huwa was not surprised that Chonghua came to find him, and Chonghua carried the jade precept he gave to Lu Zhang. As the envoy of the emperor, Chonghua had the responsibility to investigate all the situations before making an ordinary judgment. Huwa experienced almost all the incidents as a bystander, so why didn't Chonghua come to ask?

As Chonghua's deputy envoy, Huwa had actually told him everything he knew. But Chonghua still had to talk to Huwa alone, and there was obviously something else.

Of course, Chongchen and Gonggong's military formation could not directly rudely surround the Angel Camp, but just camped three miles away to confront each other. Chonghua and Huwa left the camp and came south to the bank of the river. This was the only open open space without any trouble. No one spoke along the way. After Chonghua stood on the bank of the river, he said, "Is this the river still the last time?"

Last time, of course, it was the time he went to Danzhu to tour the south. Chonghua and Huwa broke up on the north bank after crossing the river. Huwa replied: "Yes, not right."

Chonghua said suddenly: "Fengxianjun wants to investigate the murderer of the tragedy of the Benliu Village clan, and the murderer is in the angel camp."

Huwa nodded: "I know, but I want to find out more clearly who is the one who committed the crime?"

Chonghua said it rightly. The heads of forces who were responsible for the tragedy of Benliu Village are all in the angel camp at this moment. It is not clear who killed the people yet, but it is actually clear why the Benliu Village tribe died. Poor that more than 300 tribesmen in Benliu Village have all become the burialists of this conflict, and they are also innocent people involved and victims.

Unfortunately, they encountered a storm and torrent. No matter how hard they struggled, they were still swallowed up. Chonghua’s responsibility was to mediate the conflicts of various ministries. Whoever died in the Benliu Village tribe could not change the result. As long as the responsibilities of all parties were clarified, he would have completed his mission. But this was exactly what Huwa wanted to pursue.

The two of them were silent for a long time, as if they had nothing to talk about. They both looked at the flames on the other side of the river, which was the night-vigil bonfire lit in the Jiuli Army camp.

After a long time, Chonghua spoke first: "Is there nothing to say about Fengxianjun?"

Huwa said in a silence: "Yes, you're late!"

Chonghua was indeed late. He had already received the jade masterpiece for the tiger baby sacrifice, but he suggested that the emperor appoint Hou Gang as the deputy envoy and take a detour to the city first. When he continued to set off, he prepared so much supplies, making the team large in size, so of course it would not be fast.

On the surface, no one could find out Chonghua's fault and could not accuse him of deliberately delaying the trip, and he did not delay the trip for a day on the road. But anyone could see that Chonghua did not intend to arrive before the conflict was completely over.
Chapter completed!
