Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1182 Years and Strategies

  Next debate.

   Qingni Riverside.

   Several horses came from the south on fast horses, stepped on the river, splashed water, and radiated colorful colors under the sun.

  Xu Huang received the message from Hanzhong, did not dare to neglect, and immediately took the lacquered bamboo tube to Feiqian's big tent.

  Xiabian is not far from Yangping Pass. Fei Qian sent messengers to Guanzhong, and naturally also sent soldiers to Hanzhong, and this lacquered bamboo tube was naturally Li Ru's reply.

  Fei Qian was wiping the ZTE sword, and when he saw Li Ru's reply, he put the ZTE sword on the table, held the bamboo tube, and looked up and down. The lacquer seal is complete, and there is no problem with the imprint of General Zhengxi's history stamped on the wax varnish.

  Fei Qian picked up the ZTE sword, broke the lacquer seal with the tip of the sword, took out the towel in the bamboo tube, and unfolded it, his heart skipped a beat.

  Xu Huang looked up at Fei Qian's expression, then lowered his eyelids, motionless.

   After a long time, Fei Qian said slowly: "Gongming, the emperor has changed his year name, and amnesty the world..."

  Li Ru's reply letter did not directly describe the current solution at the beginning, but said that he had received information that Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han in Heluo, had changed his year name some time ago.

  Xu Huang bowed his hands to Dongfang, showing respect, and said: "I don't know what the emperor's current year name is..."

   "Yan Ping." Fei Qian said slowly, as if the two characters weighed heavily, and then gestured with his fingers in the air to show Xu Huang the shape of the characters.

   "Understood, Yan Ping."

  Regarding Fei Qian's surprised expression, although Xu Huang didn't understand, he didn't ask anything.

"Yan Ping... the year is approaching halfway... this Yan Ping..." Fei Qian pondered for a moment, raised his head to the east, his eyes flickered, and murmured, "...and the age is still young, and the time is still young. I'm afraid that the pelican will sing first, so that the husband's herbs will not be fragrant... Could it be for this, Your Majesty's intention?"

  Xu Huang was silent, and did not answer. After all, this matter is not something Xu Huang, a middle and low-level general, can comment on.

  Fei Qian didn't expect Xu Huang to be able to answer. He lowered his head and looked at the Zhongxing Sword in his hand. Suddenly, an emotion rose in his heart that he didn't know how to describe...

   The scars on Zhongxing Jian's body appeared before Fei Qian's eyes.

"...He Qiongpei's ignorance, but everyone hides it. But the party members are ungrateful, and they are afraid of jealousy. The times are colorful and changeable, so how can we stay?" Fei Qian read out the follow-up words , and then let out a long sigh.

  Yan Ping.

  When writing this year name, Liu Xie was probably so complicated and sad.

  However, this year name has a special meaning to Fei Qian. This year name, which has never appeared in the Han Dynasty, does it mean what will happen in the future?

  This world has completely deviated from Fei Qian's understanding, and no one knows where it will slide in the future...

  Fei Qian was silent for a moment, then collected his mood, and hid the complex emotions that suddenly grew out of inexplicable after hearing the year name in his heart, and continued to take Li Ru's letter, and read on. Because now Fei Qian himself is the backbone of the entire army, if he panics, then in Longyou surrounded by wolves, the entire army will definitely be finished.

  However, what Li Ru wrote next in the letter surprised Fei Qian even more...

   "Old Qin Ling?"

   There is such a thing?

  Fei Qian finished reading the letter, and then read it again from the beginning with some uncertainty. Only then did he believe that he was not dazzled, and Li Ru really wrote it like this.

Fei Qian turned his eyes to the side of the table, looked at the token with the word "Qin" at that moment, and suddenly realized that the word "Qin" did not represent the Qin Dynasty, nor the Qin Dynasty, but the Qin people. …

  The earliest group in Guanzhong was also the original owner. Of course, it was also the group of people who were squeezed out the most and driven farthest in the Han Dynasty...

  Li Ru, Li Wenyou, how many secrets do you have?

   How many unknown things are there in Longyou and Guanzhong?

   But now, well, let’s do this first.

   "Gongming... the surrounding situation, how is it now?" Fei Qian said.

   "Qi Junhou, there is nothing unusual within fifty miles around, and there is no movement from the Qiang people a hundred miles away..." Xu Huang said.

   "No movement is a good thing..." Fei Qian smiled and said, "This shows that the Qiang people don't have much mobility...Gongming, let the Hanzhong civil servants and others retreat to Yangping Pass in batches..."

   "I obey. But, my lord... do we really want to retreat?" Xu Huang asked with some doubts.

   Fei Qian smiled slightly, but did not answer this question.

  Xu Huang came to a sudden, and as soon as he cupped his hands, he took the order and turned around to leave.

  ………………

Ling Jie led three soldiers pretending to be Qiang people, squatting on the edge of the small river, drinking some river water with his hands, and said in a low voice: "...do you remember what you explained? In Qiang language..."

   "Remember it all... Don't worry, Junhou..." A soldier behind Ling Jie replied.

Ling Jie took out several medicine bottles hidden in his arms, distributed them to three soldiers, and said solemnly: "Be careful in your actions, I would rather not move than take risks! If something is wrong, run quickly! If it is true If you can’t get out, just… solve it yourself…”

   "Wei!" The three soldiers also replied solemnly.

  Ling Jie nodded and said, "Before sunset, meet here... okay, let's go... be careful..."

  The three soldiers nodded, stood up, spread out, and walked slowly towards the place where the Qiang people gathered.

  ………………

   "The Qingyi Qiang was annexed by the Yak Qiang?" Jiang Jiong frowned and said in disbelief, no wonder there were people from Qingyi Qiang and Yak Qiang near Xiabian.

Now that Zhiwoji had opened up the chatterbox, he had nothing to hide, so he said: "You guys didn't do it...Although I don't know why the horses exploded at that time, but after all, they were from Qingyi Qiang at that time. I was in charge of guarding, so I was asked to beheaded on the spot... No matter what Yak Qiang said, he also conquered the city wall, so there must be rewards and compensations... After we retreated, the boy from the Ma family led the Yak Qiang people straight to the Qiang in Qingyi Qiang Tun...and that's it..."

  The residence of the leader of the Xiongnu was called Wangting, and the place where the leaders of the Qiang tribe gathered was called Qiangtun.

   "Is it difficult for Qingyi Qiang not to resist?" Jiang Jiong couldn't help asking.

"Yes, why not, but what's the use?" Zhiwoji twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's not like you don't know how prestige the Han family and Ma family have on this territory? Now that the Ma family has stepped forward , the Qingyi Qiang heads are all dead, how much use can they have?"

In Xiliang, Han Sui was originally a famous scholar, and he belonged to the first batch of leaders of the uprising with Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang and others. When Han Sui led the army to attack the city, Ma Teng was just a frontier soldier. A small army Sima was beaten by Han Sui and fled around.

  Later, Geng Bi, governor of Liangzhou, led his army to quell the rebellion and was defeated by Han Sui's army. Ma Teng and a group of current Xiliang warlords took the opportunity to betray the imperial court and took refuge in the Marshal Kingdom of the Xiliang Army at that time.

After the death of Wang Guo, in order to balance the forces of all parties in Xiliang, Han Sui recruited Ma Teng, who was the bravest among them, and somewhat honored by his ancestors. Position in Xiliang.

   "So... now the people who are next to you are Yak Qiang and Qingyi Qiang?" Jiang Jiong asked, "In other words, these Qiang people are more inclined to the Ma family?"

"Yes!" Zhiwoji was also unambiguous, perhaps to ensure that he had not received the goods, so he said directly, "That kid from the Ma family is a lunatic! Same! This is our territory, don't say I didn't remind you... Your personal relationship with me is a personal relationship, and if we really want to fight, I can't stop it! I think you should withdraw early..."

Jiang Jiong raised his eyebrows, ignored Riwoji's question about who would win and who would lose, and said, "I said, old friend, are you mistaken? This time, it's not that we want to fight Longyou, it's you who want to fight again." Come to fight Guanzhong?"

"Are you kidding? We don't have time to go to Guanzhong? The big animals are all pregnant now, why don't you..." Zhiwoji said halfway, then suddenly glared and said, "What do you mean? Zhengxi came to Xiabian, Isn't it for marching into Xiliang?"

Jiang Jiong said: "General Zhengxi came here to argue that it is true, but he did not come here to conquer Xiliang, but to purchase food and grass. He came to express his sincerity in person. How could it be that he is going to march on Xiliang? Besides, If it was really for the purpose of conquering Xiliang, would it be difficult to bring only this little force?"

  Ziwoki was dubious: "Really?"

  Jiang Jiong said decisively: "When did someone tell a lie?"

   "...Well," Ziwoki rolled his eyes, "this is a bit strange..."

"Understood..." Jiang Jiong nodded and said, "That makes sense...Is it the Ma family boy who said that General Zhengxi was going to attack Xiliang? If he didn't say that, how could he drive you at such a time? How about sending troops? Besides, what are the benefits of your marching into Guanzhong? Take the Fanxu Road? Jitou Mountain? Wating Road? Do you think that Guanzhong is still the same as before, and you will be allowed to come and go without defense?"

   "Humph!" Ziwoki was noncommittal.

   "Old friend, help me tell this to other tribes..." Jiang Jiong said with a smile, "It's just a message, and it doesn't take much effort... In this way, I will add 10% to your goods..."

  Zhiwoki stared and said: "What do you mean effortless? If your words don't count, wouldn't I have to take the blame? No, no!"

   "One and a half."

   "Uh... no, no..."

   "Forget it, I'll go find someone else..." Jiang Jiong stood up and was about to go out.

  Ziwoji jumped up, grabbed Jiang Jiong, and stretched out two fingers: "Twenty percent, twenty percent! Others will believe what I say!"

  Jiang Jiong sighed and said, "I'm going to post the cost...well, 20%..."

  ………………

   "What?" Ma Chao frowned and said, "The little thief Zhengxi is going to retreat? Why do you want to retreat? This... this..."

   The grain and grass in Zhengxi were robbed, shouldn't some soldiers be sent to investigate?

To investigate, these soldiers and horses will naturally come into contact with the specially arranged Qiang people in the north of Xiabian. This group of Qingyi and Yak Qiang people who are not strong in combat power are actually the bait left by Ma Chao for Fei Qian. .

  As soon as Zhengxi's soldiers and horses appear, the people Ma Chao arranges in this small group of Qiang people will naturally lead the troops to encircle and suppress the small group of troops sent by Zhengxi to investigate the surrounding area. The number of these Qiang people is only two thousand. Once exposed, according to common sense, Zhengxi will naturally not be afraid of these two thousand Qiang people, and will definitely send troops to crusade again.

  Once these Qiang people are crusaded and killed, the Tsingyi and Yak tribes led by Yak Qiang in the northwest will inevitably take revenge, and will also drive the Qiang people of other tribes...

  The reinforcements in the direction of Guanzhong in Fanxudao were blocked by Han Sui and his men. Even if Han Sui saw that something was wrong, it was impossible for the people from Zhengxi to pass through Longshan easily.

On Longyou Tianshui's side, there is Ma Chao himself with people on guard. If the provocative plan fails, Zhengxi will not get any support. In this way, the next development will be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger As a result, the little thief Zhengxi will get deeper and deeper, and eventually he will suffer the disaster of being wiped out in Longyou, where foreign aid is cut off.

   But the problem is, the little thief Zhengxi seemed to see where the red line was. He squatted down and argued motionless, and then he didn't send troops out, and then he was about to withdraw?

  Little thief Zhengxi, where is your courage? What about your courage?

   This hasn't started yet, and the troops are withdrawing?

   How can this work?

   "Brother, what should we do now?" Ma Tie asked from the side.

   "Let's go! Let's go to the debate!" Ma Chao didn't think for long, and immediately said, "Let's hold back the little thief Zhengxi!"

  Ma Tie said: "Ah? We were originally scheduled to wait here for the tribes of Xiliang?"

"Yes, that's right, I originally planned this way, but the convened Xiliang ministries are still in Wuwei, even if these people leave immediately, it will take a certain amount of time to rush here without stopping. It will be too late to do anything..." Ma Chao said, "We can't wait for them anymore, we have to do it first, and we must hold Zhengxi back no matter what, otherwise our plan will fail completely as soon as he retreats into Yangping Pass !"

   "But, brother...we don't have enough manpower..." Ma Tie said, turning his head and looking at the people around him.

Ma Chao suddenly turned around, grabbed Ma Tie's collar, and shouted in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten how brother Dai died? Have you forgotten how many people died in our Ma family in Guanzhong? You have forgotten who our ancestors are." ? Tell me, what's your last name? Who are you?"

  Ma Tie was grabbed by the neckline vigorously by Ma Chao, and it was difficult to breathe, and he said with difficulty: "I... know... I know..."

"It's good to know!" Ma Chao let go of his hand, glanced at Ma Tie, and added, "Let's go to Yak Qiang first, and then take them to the debate! We didn't have all the people, and there were not many people in Zhengxi ! There is still a great chance of winning! Let's go! Send the order to go down, set off, and march down!"
