Chapter 123: Yindu and Yan and the Great Steppe
The reason why the people of the Steppe teaches Xiahou Cao all kinds of tactics and even fought in his army, is because they believe in the sanctity of a promise, of an oath
The tribes of the Great Steppe hold their principles and values in high esteem, especially when it comes to promises and oaths.
For them, a promise is not a trivial matter; it is a solemn vow that carries the weight of honour and integrity.
When they make a commitment or pledge, they do so with the utmost sincerity, and they expect others to uphold their promises in the same manner.
This strong belief in the sanctity of oaths has led the Steppe people to share their knowledge of tactics and even fight alongside Xiahou Cao army.
They extend their trust, believing that he will honour his word and treat them with fairness and respect.
They see this cooperation as a gesture of goodwill and hope for a future of mutual understanding and cooperation.
However, when it comes to dealing with the people of Yan, the Great Steppe tribes have often been met with disappointment and frustration.
The Yan people, in contrast to the Steppe’s unwavering dedication to oaths, have been observed to change their stance and promises depending on their convenience.
the people of Yan speak one thing in the morning and another in the afternoon. They are a race of liars.
At least that is what most people of the Great Steppe had experienced when dealing with the people of Yan.
