The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, after all, he was older and had to experience more things, because he saw that the young man was disrespectful and was taught a hard lesson by Gao Yuan, and his heart was naturally a little shocked, and Gao Yuan only asked his name, and it did not involve the confidential affairs of the Jiuli clan, what can not be said about the name? If you annoy the plateau for this, it is really not cost-effective to be taught a lesson by the plateau like a young man. Therefore, the middle-aged man said: "My name is Sang Huan." He glanced at the young man again and said, "His name is Li Hongyuan." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be nice to say this earlier?" Why bother? Sanghuan, so you are a member of the Sang tribe; And he should be from the Jiang Li tribe. ”

has been told by Gao Yuan, Sang Huan naturally did not deny it, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Within your Sang clan, in addition to the patriarch and elders, the highest status is the four chief stewards, and then there are sixteen deacons, judging from the martial arts of the two of you, it should be either the chief steward or the deacon, right?" ”

Sang Huan was silent for a while before he nodded and said, "I am the third head of the Sang clan, and Li Hongyuan is the deacon of the Jiang Li clan, but I can only tell you so much, I won't say anything about the secret things of our Sang clan and the Jiuli clan." In fact, he was quite surprised in his heart, it seems that Gao Yuan knows a lot about the affairs of the Jiuli tribe.

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know the secrets of your Jiuli clan less than you, and I don't need to ask you." "In fact, all the things that the plateau knows about the Jiuli tribe are known from Shui Xinyue.

Among the nine clans, except for the Kuafu clan, the structure of the other eight clans is similar, and the supreme rulers of the clan are the patriarch and elder. There is only one patriarch, and the number of elders is not limited, generally by the clan is old, and highly respected, martial arts strong people, but regardless of the affairs of the body, only when the biggest thing happens, will come forward, sometimes the patriarch for various reasons, can not be a director, or the patriarch died, but did not determine the heir, generally by the elders of the clan to come forward, on behalf of the council, and elect a new patriarch. As a result, there are not many elders in a clan, usually two or four.

In the clan, the duties of handling daily clan affairs are divided into three levels: steward, deacon, and steward. The chief steward is four, the deacon is sixteen, and the steward is indefinite, usually between sixty and a hundred. Although these three levels are not determined by martial arts, and other abilities are measured, in general, the chief is generally stronger than the deacon, and the deacon is stronger than the steward.

Of course, the strength of the governors, deacons, and stewards of various ethnic groups is also different, such as the same deacons, the strength of large clans like the Sang clan and the Tuyong clan is definitely stronger than that of the small clan, and the masters of each clan are not limited to the chief steward, deacon, and steward, and there are some young people with outstanding intelligence, whose strength is not under the chief steward, deacon, and steward, such as the three masters of the younger generation of the Jiuli clan, Fu Gongyan, Lu Xiuhong, and Sang Qingti, are far stronger than the chief of their own clan.

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "The other six people who attacked us with you must also be the governors and deacons of various tribes." ”

Sang Huan pondered for a while, and felt that these things were nothing to tell the plateau, and people were still afraid of any leaks? Besides, Gao Yuan already knows the organizational structure of the Jiuli tribe well, is it necessary to hide it from him? So Sang Huan said: "In this operation, our Sang, Tu Yong, Jiang Li, and Sanmiao clans each sent a chief steward, three deacons, and six other clan disciples, and the people who attacked you were all the chief stewards and the four strongest deacons. ”

Although Sang Huan thought that these things were not a secret, because this operation had failed, the casualties were heavy, and most of the people were dead, and there was no point in concealing them, but in Gao Yuan's view, it was very useful, and the so-called devil was in the details, and many important information could be deduced from these small things.

First of all, I learned that Sang Huan was the chief manager, and Gao Yuan could also estimate the general strength of the Jiuli clan's governor, there were a total of thirty-two chief managers of the eight clans, even if not everyone had Sang Huan's strength, even if it was only half, it was also a force that could not be underestimated. What's more, above the general manager, there are also the patriarchs and elders of various clans, as well as a few outstanding young disciples, so it was only at this time that Gao Yuan had a preliminary and comprehensive understanding of the true strength of the Jiuli clan.

In addition, in order to destroy the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Jiuli clan dispatched a total of four chief managers and twelve deacons, and the blood cost was not small, but all the personnel dispatched were from the Sang, Tu Yong, Jiang Li, and Sanmiao clans, which was very interesting.

According to the news of Shuixin Yuesuo Sù Plateau, in addition to the outlier of the Kuafu clan, the other eight clans are roughly Sang, Tu Yong, Jiang Li, Sanmiao, Huangluo, Yuanxian, Mang, and Yue in order of strength, and the four clans dispatched this time are exactly in the top four, which is also too coincidental.

Although it is said that the strength of these four clans is strong, it is completely possible to draw a few masters from the latter four clans, so this can explain a problem, this time the Jiuli clan's action is not only to destroy the unity of the three kingdoms, but also to weaken the strength of the stronger four clans, it seems that what Shui Xinyue said is that Han Teng and the nine clans have a deep contradiction, so it is not a lie. Although Takahara does not yet know how to exploit this contradiction, it is obviously of great value.

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "If you want to say that the strength of your Jiuli clan this time is not weak, but why are all people drawn from the four clans of Sang, Tu Yong, Jiang Li, and Sanmiao, and don't Han Teng have five divine generals and ten no generals?" Why didn't I see these people dispatched? ”

Sang Huan was silent for a while, as the head of the Sang clan, of course he knew the grievances between the Sang clan and Han Teng, but he was still measured, and knew that these words could not be said nonsense, so he said: "This is an arrangement from above, we just follow the order to act, and we don't know the reason for this arrangement." After a pause, he seemed to feel that what he said was still a little affectionate, so he said: "I think it's because the five god generals and the ten no generals show up too much, and most of you know each other, so I am afraid that they have not been arranged because of the leakage of the news." ”

Although Sang Huan said these words as if he had remedied, and it seemed reasonable, the change in his expression just now could not deceive Gao Yuan, but Gao Yuan did not say anything, just asked Hong Zhong to take the two of them down, but ordered the captured Jiuli people to be detained separately.

Although Gao Yuan has learned a lot of useful information from Sang Huan, it does not involve the secrets of the Jiuli tribe, but Gao Yuan also knows that if he asks about the confidential things of the Jiuli tribe, Sang Huan will never say it, so the breakthrough of these things is still on his people, so it is necessary to separate the captured Jiuli people from prison, so as to prevent them from colluding with each other to confess.

Subsequently, after the interrogation of other Jiuli people, Gao Yuan not only knew a lot of secret things in the Jiuli people, but also generally understood the beginning of this attack. At the same time, he also aimed at Qi Guo, that is, Tian Kezang. Because Qi is located between Han and Chu, it is the hub of the alliance, but the willingness of Qi to join the alliance is the weakest, almost all of it is tied to Tian Kezang alone, as long as Tian Kezhang is killed, the Qi country will immediately withdraw from the alliance, even if the Han and Chu countries form a joint column, it will not pose any threat to the Qin state.

But last time, the plateau disguised himself as an envoy to the county and sent an envoy to the Qi country, destroying a dark spot set up by the Jiuli tribe in Linzi, so that the latent power of the Jiuli tribe in the Qi country suffered a lot of blows, and after Tian Kezang returned from Lingshou, he also significantly strengthened his guards, so that the Jiuli tribe could not find a chance to start. So the Jiuli tribe gathered within the group and decided to act when the three kingdoms held the Taoyi Alliance.

First, when he arrives in Taoyi, Tian Kezang's guards may be a little lax, and he may be able to find an opportunity to do it; Second, even if there is no chance to assassinate Tian Kezang, he may be able to find an opportunity to assassinate the King of Chu, and if he kills the King of Chu, it will be considered a success. However, the Jiuli tribe did not assassinate the plateau, because the Jiuli tribe knew that the strength of the plateau was so strong, in the entire Jiuli tribe, there were few who could compete with him, and there were a large number of masters around the plateau who were not inferior to the Jiuli tribe.

So the Jiuli tribe transferred ten people from each of the four tribes of Sang, Tu Yong, Jiang Li, and Sanmiao, plus the people who were lurking in Qi and Taoyi, and the total number of various personnel exceeded 150 people, and in view of the situation of not using, five sets of action plans were formulated.

Of course, only from the four clans of Sang, Tu Yong, Jiang Li, and Sanmiao, and not from the other clans, because they are Han Teng's subordinates, it has indeed caused a lot of controversy among the four clans, but since Han Teng has obtained the new Chiyou power, no one in the Jiuli clan has dared to oppose Han Teng on the surface, so he can only endure this breath.

Although these captured Jiuli people were not involved in the decision-making of the operation, it is not clear how many people were dispatched in this operation, but it should be no less than 120 people, and after the identification of the captured personnel, the bodies of 34 people from the Sang, Tuyong, Jiang Li, and Sanmiao tribes were found, and only three of the 16 governors and deacons escaped.

In addition to this attack, Gao Yuan was very interested in the miracles that happened among the Jiuli people, and repeatedly questioned the captives, and was generally convinced that this was not a fake, but a real thing, although Gao Yuan did not know what was going on, but it was still very useful to know such a heavy secret.
