Summary

The chapter details the diplomatic maneuvers among various tribes as they navigate their relationships and alliances in the context of supporting Yi Di against the Xia dynasty. The Wei Tribe treats the Ying He envoy with respect, unlike the Ji Tribe, which outright rejects them. Anticipating the Wei Tribe's cautious stance, the Yi Tribe's chief sees an opportunity for unity among the kin tribes to support Yi Di. The Yi Tribe prepares for battle and seeks alliances, particularly with the Ji Tribe, while the Goyu Tribe advises caution. Eventually, the Ji Tribe expresses willingness to join Yi Di's kin alliance after forming a marriage alliance with the Wei Tribe. The Yi Tribe's envoy negotiates with the Ji Tribe's chief, who agrees to support Yi Di. Following successful negotiations, the tribes collectively decide to invite the Ying He Tribe to formalize their alliance, aiming to resist the Xia dynasty and restore peace. As the Yi Tribe's envoy heads to the Ying He Tribe, they encounter migrating barbarian tribes, indicating a growing coalition against their common enemy.
