Chapter 652

The people of GuLun tribe are very regretful. After contacting them, shanlihu once mentioned that they should be loyal to the Lord. After inviting them to the military camp for dinner, they formally said it again, but they thought too much at that time, so they didn't agree. I don't want to. So soon, people from other tribes came to submit.

It's a long way to go, with wind and snow blocking the way. There are more than 50000 troops and tens of thousands of horses here, and countless supplies are consumed every day.

If the Lord of shanlihu didn't accept other people, there would be spare power to accept them, now

The honest general was shocked and begged for mercy. He was willing to follow Shanli and go with him. He knelt down outside the Lord's tent and begged. The wounded elder general also begged to go with him.

All the people began to plead, but Shanli was very embarrassed: "you are all my brothers. How can I not think wholeheartedly for the brothers of many people? It's just that you didn't want to belong to the LORD before. It's nothing to make me lose face. I don't know how many people have come all the way to worship the Lord. How can the Lord care if you don't want to surrender? But you make the Lord unhappy. I'm in a common status among the tribes. In what capacity can I worship the Lord again? "

When they begged again, Shanli suddenly refused to accept or refuse, and said something to avoid the dilemma.

Bortu's mind is delicate, and he has insight into people's heart. He soon understands the meaning of flash in and out of words. Shanlihu wanted to improve his status in the tribe, so that he could have more power and higher identity. And the master of shanlihu, in order to gain a foothold in the northern region, of course, must completely control some tribes.

One of the two tribes who came to visit and submit just now is the patriarch, and the other is the leader who is qualified to inherit the position of patriarch.

Among these people in GuLun tribe, there is neither a patriarch nor his successor here. Their patriarch was too old to lead them to battle, so he sent his son, the younger patriarch. But their young patriarch was injured first, then fell ill and died, and they lost their leader. Now these nearly 30000 people are hard to gather together, headed by several generals.

They can't represent the patriarch. Even though they are nearly 30000 people who are willing to pledge their allegiance to a certain master, their families and relatives are all in the tribe. If you go back to the tribe, the patriarch firmly opposes their original decision, or refuses to let their family be loyal to their master with them, it must be a great trouble and a very difficult problem.

This makes them want to submit to the Lord now and have no advantage.

Bortu raised his hand and said, "be quiet. I'm a few years older than you. Listen to me. Now we must introduce a real leader to lead us and the tribe. Otherwise, not only few of us can return to the tribe alive, but our tribe will be completely annexed by other tribes. If there is not a visionary patriarch, our tribe will soon perish! "

He analyzed the desperate situation they are facing, the current situation of the tribe, and the difficulties they will face in the future.

All the people were silent and understood that these were true and were in front of them.

They unanimously asked bortu to come up with an idea, only to give them tens of thousands of people and leave hope for the tribe.

Bortu took a deep look at shanlihu: "shanlihu brothers have both wisdom and courage, and are highly respected. This is an extraordinary time. Only shanlihu brothers can give us hope to be the clan leader."

Others nodded, others pondered, others frowned.

The patriarch is the leader of a tribe and the most powerful person in the tribe who can decide everything. All tribes are headed by the patriarch. In a big tribe, the patriarch is like a king.

Especially in the period when there was no manwang, the major tribes were equivalent to small kingdoms, and the patriarch was the king of each kingdom. Although the patriarch of a small tribe has no such noble status and much less power, he is also the local emperor in his own tribe.

These people are all outstanding people in GuLun tribe. When their heirs of patriarch die, some of them have the qualification and ability to compete for the position of heirs of patriarch.

Now, bortu proposes to elect shanlihu as the patriarch. This is not to let them support shanlihu as the patriarch's successor, but to directly remove the real patriarch of GuLun tribe and honor shanlihu as their patriarch without the knowledge of the old patriarch.

Bortu had already seen everyone's expression in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "at this moment, only shanlihu clan leader can seek the Lord's mercy, accept nearly 30000 young men of our clan, and let them return to the clan alive. The head of shanlihu clan is a great general in the Lord's heart. Only he can make our clan live and prosper

Even though there are still some people who don't understand this truth, there is no one who doesn't understand what bortu said.

Even though they have the qualification and ability to fight for the position of clan leader, they don't know the Lord they are about to submit to, and they don't have the advantage of shanlihu. Only Shan Lihu can speak to the Lord and ask the Lord to accept them. Now is not the time for them to submit and pledge allegiance, but for the Lord to accept them.Shanli shook his head: "I never thought of being a clan leader. Uncle bortu said that, which made me very scared."

Bortu stood up, hands raised above his head, bowed down, knees bent, hands from head down with the body. While bending over, bend your knees, press your hands on the ground, kneel down, put your hands on your left and right ears, bow your head and kowtow, and touch your forehead on the ground: "boltu, meet the patriarch."

The two wounded GuLun generals, Han Zhi and his elder brother, immediately followed bortu and knelt down to kowtow.

When the other people saw it, they all stood up in a hurry, knelt down and kowtowed to shanlihu with the same ceremony, honoring him as "see the patriarch". These people were not only the leaders of the GuLun tribe, but also the generals of the army. They kowtowed together and admitted that shanlihu was the head of the GuLun tribe, so the matter was settled.

The patriarchs of the tribes in the northern region are not unchangeable, nor are they necessarily inherited by their sons. Tribal leaders and powerful people, because of some things and changes, dethrone or even kill the patriarch. In addition, they elect the patriarch, or ambitious and powerful people, take advantage of some opportunities to abolish and kill the original patriarch, and their own superiors have happened many times.

Especially when new and old clan leaders alternate, it is more common that new clan leaders are killed and their positions are taken away because they are young or mediocre.

After kneeling down and worshiping, they had no other thoughts and begged the new patriarch shanlihu to ask for mercy from the Lord.
