Chapter 721 Under the Snow Mountain

　　Outsiders have no way of knowing about the major changes in the business community in northern Hubei, so let’s not talk about it for now.

　　At the foot of the snowy mountain, it is clearly close to June, but the abnormal climate this year has made this place lose its usual coldness, and now it has some of the spring and autumn scenes outside the grassland.

　　Shan Mancheng stood beside a small stream that formed from top to bottom at the foot of the mountain, with one hand behind his back, looking up at the towering mountain peak with deep eyes.

　　They arrived here three days ago and have just settled more than 100,000 of their people.

　　The entire Jiayu tribe actually has a population of less than 200,000. In the past few years, he used benefits to bind the scattered tribes on the grassland to the Jiayu tribe, but because of the obstruction of the Tuoyu tribe, many small tribes have expressed their dissatisfaction with him openly or secretly in the past two years.

　　Fingers are of different lengths, and everyone has different closeness and distance. It is absolutely impossible to treat everyone equally in such an environment.

　　This gave the Tuo Yu tribe an opportunity to seize the opportunity, and since last year they have been instigating those warlike small tribes to attack northern Hubei.

　　Last year happened to be the time when Shan Mancheng went to travel in Dajin. A traitor also appeared among the wizards of the Jiayu tribe. They conspired with the Tuoyu tribe and almost caused Ecige to die.

　　Fortunately, he quelled the civil strife in time, but the Jiayu tribe's momentum and strength were greatly damaged, so it was even less likely that he would agree to the proposal of using war to achieve his goals.

Until this large-scale drought, Shan Mancheng lobbied all the major tribes to go to Tianxue Mountain, but only the Jiayu tribe and several small tribes were willing to follow him. Others did not believe that this drought would be so serious that it could not be reversed.

　　Seeing that the water sources on the grassland were disappearing day by day, Shan Mancheng had to give up his ambition to integrate the grassland tribes. He immediately took the Jiayu people and several small tribes who were willing to follow him to Tianxue Mountain.

　　But when he got here, he found that other ethnic groups from further north had already occupied the best location.

　　During drought, water resources are lifeline. The two sides have great differences in language and appearance, so naturally neither side can give in to the other, and a war is about to break out.

　　The Jiayu tribe paid a heavy price in blood to drive those people away, but they still underestimated the severity of the drought. In just two days, half of the snow water accumulated on the ground disappeared.

　　"Chengji, everything is ready. Cheng Taiji, please go back and preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky." Shan Mancheng's close bodyguard Wa Tuci came behind him, folded his arms across his chest, bowed and said respectfully.

　　Shan Mancheng turned around, nodded, and asked, "Has Tasang set off?"

　　"He has already left, but the weather is bad now, so we can't predict when he will arrive in northern Hubei." When Wa Tuci said this, he suddenly looked up and asked in confusion, "Why did Chengji ask Tasang to deliver the letter to northern Hubei?"

　　The general in northern Hubei is a ruthless man that even the warriors of their Jiayu tribe cannot defeat. Even if the previous group of Lokikohan people went to northern Hubei, they could not cause any major harm. Chengji is helping the Dajin people like this, and I am afraid that some people in the tribe will be dissatisfied.
