Chapter 209: Two Tigers Fighting

He look at the map again.

He nodded to himself, like a plan is being approved in his mind

"Sordkazan could not be allowed to become higher. Should I make contact with Dama?" he thought as he looks at the map again.

"No, what if that would provoke Estkazan?" he thought

Estkazan is not yet conquered. The one who will attack Estkazan would either be Dama or Karnain. There is also a chance that those tow would conspire with each other

Dama could take the area around the eastern area of Estkazan and Sordkazan could take the western border of Estkazan.

If they divide the two.....Dama and Karnain would become stronger.

But there is a smile on Kaxaru face

"But could you trust each other? " and he laughed. If Dama took half and Karnain took half. Then both of them could no longer make any move.

Why? Because now they truly would be neighbours with each other. If that happens, even if Dama did not want to provoke Sordkazan, he would not dare bet that if he goes attacking another tribe, Sordkazan would not make a move.

And it is the same in Sordkazan side.

They also would not dare to make any moves for fearing that they would be attacked if they left too little force back home.

"So, they probably would maintain this status quo. Dama and Karnain could probably also see this. That seizing Estkazan right now, is not the best in their interest"

He looks toward the south, toward the east and toward the west.

The south is Brolgadhr playground.

He could not plan around those areas. That is a behemoth right now. And if he messes with Brolgadhr right now, that would be like awakening a starving lion.

The north he did not look

"too crowded" And then finally, he look back at the north and he sighed

"I don’t like doing this. But...I have to fight for my tribe. Your ambition are all grand and great. But my ambition is not?"

"heh" he scoffed.

Aeryon wanted to unify the Southern Great Steppe and unite the tribes.

That is a grand aspiration and something that many great and powerful chief had always aspired to do

But just because it is grand and great, does he have to forget his dream?

Yes, between the dreams of Aeryon who wanted the entire Southern Great Steppe and the ambition of Kaxaru who just wanted to unify the Kazan and ensure the legacy of his people, these two ambitions is like the difference between Heaven and Earth

Kaxaru could not have known that even he could not understand the grand ambition in Aeryon heart

Most chief in the Southern Great Steppe all thought that they have seen the limit of Aeryon ambition.

To them that limit is already the peak.

They all thought that Aeryon coveted to become the overlord of the Southern Great Steppe, to become a Qayan of the South.

But they didn’t know that Aeryon ambition far outstripped their imagination

What he wanted is not the south. What he wanted is the whole Steppe.

The entire Great Steppe under his commands, his banner shall flutter in every four corners of the Steppe from the south to the north, from the west to the east.

When he pointed his finger, millions of men would ride their horses and fought for the world

Yes, his ambition did not stop there. If he got the entire Steppe, he would then set his sight to the world

To the entire world.

There would be the horses of the Steppe riding all across the world, hunting deer’s!

This is his ambition.

And no one in the Southern Great Steppe could see this.

Because they never could think that someone would be so crazy to think that they could conquer the entire world

The great Steppe people have been hunted and killed and oppressed by the people of Yan, people of Roma and people of Western Zhou.

How could they imagine that one of them would not only have the ambition to conquer the Greta Steppe but to fight against the ownership of the worlds against these great empires?

They would not have such confidence.

But Aeryon has it. He is confident that as long as he could get the Great Steppe under his rule, the world will be conquered, if not in his time, his descendant would fulfill his dream for him.

This is the difference between the ambition in Kaxaru heart and the ambition in Aeryon heart

One of them look at the three acres of their lands and content with it, becoming a small landlord.

And the other look high up at the peak of the Heavenly Mountain and wanted the world

The one who wanted the three acres of land is Kaxaru. And the one who wanted the world is Aeryon

For the prosperity of the Great Steppe, a great ruler must rise.

But what do Kaxaru cares about the prosperity, or rise and fall of the Great Steppe?

His vision is only on his three acres of land.

How could his vision see the world?

And it is this difference that differentiate these two. Those who reach for the stars would at least land on the moon.

Those who only reach for the mountains even if they reach the hill, how could it be compared to a person who is on the moon?

It could not be compared

Kaxaru eyes is locked at the North. At one particular tribe.

Vihur tribe.

He sighed and nodded to himself

"It is too crowded. It is time to add some trouble and chaos. If the situation could not change, then what will change is me"

He sighed and then close the map. He then went out of his tent and survey his tribe and look and meet with the Elders, and spoke with his Chief Warriors

And when midnight came, the moonlight is shining bright, the stars could be seen clearly in the sky, the weather is breezy and cold and Kaxaru went to meet the Ashana

Inside the tent he asked for divination. And when he got the divination, he sighed and returns back to his tent with heavy heart and retreated for the night

.....

The morning came with the dawn of the sun. the sound of the horse neighing, the sound of hammering, the sound of warriors training fills the morning in the Kazan tribe.

The chief opens his eyes, he wears his clothing aided by his wife and then he went to the central tent and in such early morning, he sent his servants to summons his sons.

All seven of his sons quickly came and the moment they enter the tent they could feel that something is wrong

He told his first son to go to the north.

Negdeh is responsible, courteous , knows how to gauge the heart of people hence he is the most suitable person to go to the North

Negdeh came to the tent with his other six brothers and he was surprised why would his father send him to the north.

And he did not send him to Nurkazan but to Vihur. The Vihur tribe that border the tribes of the Central Steppe.

Negdeh did not understand.

There is Nurkazan tribe, Yindir tribe, that he has to pass to go to Vihur tribe.

He did not understand why his father would order him to go to the north right now while they are surrounded by enemies

Kaxaru smiles, laugh and chuckles and he declares

"Go to Vihurt, the chief of the Vihur tribe, tell him that there is a young wolf on the lower south who have the ambition of the overlord! Tell him, has his ambitions dulled? Has his youth left him? Tell him, if he ride south, Utgard and Kazan tribe would open the path. One from the north and one from the south, we could open a path and the south would be disturbed!"

Hearing this all the seven sons of Kaxaru was shocked and it did not take them long to understand

Negdeh understood that his father trust him to persuade Vihur tribe to come down to the south and he kneels and nodded

"Father wanted to disturb the lower south, muddle the situation" And Negdeh immediately understood. The general trend is hard to change with the strength of only their tribe.

The general trend is no longer in their hands.

The plans that they crafted is destroyed by Aeryon expedition to the south.

Sordkazan grows in size, power and wealth. Esbizuk solidifying their hold on the eastern area, Aeryon controls the lower south and conquers the west.

If they allowed this to continue, then Kazan would be in a more disadvantageous position

There is a fierce lion in the lower south, a crazy wolf on the east, and old fox plotting against them and a viper beside them

In this situation, Kazan tribe alone could not waistband such method.

So, if the lion is fierce, if the wolf are crazy, the old fox are plotting and the viper is waiting, then his father solution is very simple

Bring another fierce lion. A bigger lion. A lion that could change the situation

"Let the two tigers fight!" This is the crux of the strategy of his father.

Negdeh could be considered an outstanding person, he understood his father plans in a glance.
