Chapter 402: The Three Reasons
Norgai went silent for a second. And then he narrows his eyes and question Jayeux.
"What if he doesn’t win? Right now, he seems unstoppable but there is many people who have tried to do what he is trying to do. And there is more story of failures than of success"
Norgai paused for a second and ask
"What if he failed later?"
Jayeux could explain to him that this time Aeryon really picked the right time to unite the people of the Steppe and the people outside the wall.
The Yan is in a civil upheaval, Roma has its own problem, Western Zhou has a succession crisis and Yindu has never been able to penetrate toward the Steppe in a military manner.
All the circumstances is there for Aeryon to take advantage of. In the past, each time a chief of the great Steppe tries to unite the tribe, there is always foreign interference.
Yan would send people to strengthen one tribe and weaken the other and when this tribe has become stronger, they seduce them with benefits
None of these chief has long range vision and could only chase the immediate interest.
If not Yan, the Zhou people would also do such a thing.
Roma on the other hand is more interested in other parts of their dominion and usually they have their own legions guarding on the north.
