Be it due to the threat of the wolves or the nomadic tribe's worship of the gods, the first tribe Yan Liuyuan encountered after coming to the grasslands had already become his vassal.
The tribal chief was still the tribal chief. At first, the herdsman said he was willing to let Yan Liuyuan take over the entire tribe, but Yan Liuyuan just smiled and rejected him.
The tribal chief was puzzled. "You didn't come here to …"
"Oh." Yan Liuyuan explained with a smile, "Your tribe is too small. I want the entire grasslands."
As for what he wanted the entire grasslands for, no one knew.
At the beginning, the people in the tribe avoided Yan Liuyuan and Li Xiaoyu for fear of offending them.
Everyone was more in awe of Yan Liuyuan than respect.
But later, everyone gradually realized that the young Yan Liuyuan aside, the woman named Li Xiaoyu next to him was really a nice person. When the weather was clear, she would also help everyone with their farm work. She would even pick up cow dung with everyone to dry and keep it warm.
She did not mind the cow dung being dirty at all. Sister Xiaoyu even sang nursery rhymes to the children in a crisp and pleasant voice.
In Yan Liuyuan's opinion, the cultural gap between the nomadic tribes in the north was far beyond the imagination of the Central Plains people. There was not even the most basic electricity here, so the various tribes had to go through a lot of hardships to domesticate cows, sheep, and horses. After that, they would graze along the river for a living.
The tribe Yan Liuyuan found did not even have a name. It was just a naturally formed tribe formed by a group of herdsmen living in groups for generations.
However, Yan Liuyuan had heard that there were other large tribes in the grasslands, and Stronghold 176 was guarding against these large tribes.
According to the tribal chief, Hassan, they also belonged to a large tribe. It was just that they did not have to deal with them often. It was just that the other party would come every spring to collect a portion of their cattle, sheep, and horses.
If they were to go to war with the Central Plains, the large tribes would send people over to notify them in advance and ask them to gather at a designated place. Some of the guns in the tribe were issued by the large tribes, and they were very old. It looked like they had been snatched from the Central Plains people in the past.
Hassan glanced at Yan Liuyuan and said cautiously, "When spring comes, if they send someone over …"
"It's fine." Yan Liuyuan smiled and said, "I'll handle it."
Ever since Yan Liuyuan became the new master of the tribe, the herdsmen in the tribe were quite worried at first. They were worried that Yan Liuyuan would be too cruel. After all, he was followed by a pack of wolves. Just thinking about it made them feel that he was very fierce.
Moreover, with such a large number of wolves, the cattle, sheep, and horses in the tribe were not enough to eat. What if the young man let the wolves eat up all the livestock?
But in the end, after Yan Liuyuan took over the tribe, he dismissed the wolves and let them hunt freely. There was plenty of food on the grassland, so there was no need to eat the herdsmen's livestock.
There were also some herdsmen who saw Yan Liuyuan disperse the wolf pack. They wondered if this was when Yan Liuyuan was at his weakest. If they killed him at this time, they wouldn't have to look at him.
However, Hassan, the chief of the tribe, was more rational. "If we kill him, what if the wolves come back to avenge him? Besides, such a person naturally has great confidence in himself for dispersing the wolves. It means that he doesn't take us seriously at all. "
With that, the others gave up and stopped thinking about secretly killing Yan Liuyuan.
A week later, when Hassan ran to Yan Liuyuan to report the matter, Yan Liuyuan looked at Hassan with a faint smile and said, "You're a smart man."
Hassan immediately understood what Yan Liuyuan was talking about. As a result, it made Hassan even more humble in front of Yan Liuyuan in the future.
Yan Liuyuan originally thought that it would be a long time before the people from the big tribes came. However, on the third day after the heavy snow stopped, someone came on horseback with a scepter in his hand.
The other party came to the entrance of Hassan's tent and said loudly, "The khan has ordered all of you to arrive at the big tent by the Jungar River within ten days and participate in the plundering of the south."
The nomads were not going south to plunder money but supplies. Yan Liuyuan heard from Hassan that it was too cold this year. The heavy snow had frozen many cattle and sheep to death. If they did not head south to plunder food, many people would probably not survive the winter.
They did not have to plunder the strongholds either. After all, a lot of the necessities of the Central Plains people were stored in the factories and farms in the wilderness. In the early years, the leaders of the big tribes were very foolish. They liked to fight head-on with Stronghold 176 and plunder things from the strongholds.
In the end, this khan was killed by gunfire during one of the raids. The firearms and explosives of the Central Plains people were not something they could withstand.
But this new khan was different. He had already found a route last year that allowed him to avoid Stronghold 176. He went all the way to the back of Stronghold 176.
By the time the garrison troops of Stronghold 176 reacted, they had already taken a detour back to the grasslands with the powerful mobility of their evolved horses.
It was also because of this battle that the khan's status was established. Many of the tribal chiefs were finally convinced of his abilities.
However, the amount of loot they had plundered this time was not considered much for the entire Central Plains, so it did not attract the attention of the Central Plains.
But this time, it was as though the khan had tasted the sweetness of success. He actually gathered all the tribes together to fight the war just as winter arrived.
The man with the scepter looked at Hassan. "Why aren't you replying? Are you going to disobey my orders? That's fine too. When I get back, I'll bring the news to the khan. We won't have to go to the Central Plains to flatten your tribe anymore. Your cattle, sheep, and horses will be distributed to the tribes that suffered losses. "
Hassan panicked and quickly looked at Yan Liuyuan.
The man with the scepter frowned. "Why are you looking at him?"
"This is the new chief of our tribe, so we have to listen to him," Hassan explained.
The man with the scepter looked at Yan Liuyuan. "He's just a brat. Why did your tribe elect him to be the new chief?"
Next to him, his Sister Xiaoyu sighed and turned around to return to her tent. However, she heard Yan Liuyuan say with a smile, "Go back and tell your khan that our tribe will go to the Central Plains, but not now. It'll be after I become the khan. You can go back alive, but I'm guessing that you'll soon be pecked blind by an eagle in the sky. Even if your eyes are open, it's no different from being blind. "
Everyone thought this was just an arrogant remark. But at this moment, a shadow suddenly floated across the sky. The man with the scepter looked up and saw an eagle descending on him. Before he could even cry out in surprise, the eagle beheaded him!
Yan Liuyuan's smile gradually disappeared. "Go back and tell your khan that he only has one chance to choose between life and death."
Next to him, Hassan suddenly knelt to the ground. All of the herdsmen followed suit and knelt down. In their opinion, the scene of the eagle pecking the envoy blind was more like a miracle!
This was a true god!
