Considering his identity, in order to avoid contradictions at such a critical moment, Zhang Yue had to choose his words as carefully as possible.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "The minister's problem is: the minister heard that in order to lure the enemy, the minister personally guarded the main force of the Chinese army in Lingju in order to prepare for the Qiang Hu attack...... So, the wheel platform...... Will there be a situation where the dragons have no leader and go their own way? ”

As soon as Prime Minister Liu Quyu heard this question, he immediately laughed and replied softly: "General Yingyang is too worried!" The general of the second division, who has commanded the army for more than ten years, has long known the pros and cons, so he only led the light cavalry this time, stationed in Juyan, and left the main force of the Chinese army between the east of Juyan and the west of Jiuquan on standby......"

"In addition, the Gaoque Army, the Wuyuan Army, the Shuofang Army, the Longyou Army and other reinforcements who were ordered to rush to the aid of Hexi will also be on standby in Zhangye and can rush to the front line at any time!"

"Now ......" Speaking of this, Liu Quyu raised his head proudly and was complacent: "In the Hexi region, our dynasty has gathered at least 50,000 cavalry, 40,000 foot soldiers, and tens of thousands of militiamen and righteous subordinates!" ”

"Whether it is the Qianghu or the Huns, as long as they dare to approach the side wall, they will be beaten by the king!"

After Liu Quyu finished speaking, he raised his head proudly and looked at Zhang Yue.

And the other generals and nobles present were also full of confidence, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with this deployment?

They can indeed be so confident!

Because, the facts of the past few decades have shown that no matter who it is, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Han army and sneaking in the cold, they may be able to take advantage of some advantages.

However, after the Han army was fully prepared and gathered heavy troops, no one could please in front of the elite of the Great Han Dynasty's division!

Since the Yuan Ding, the Han army has not lost a battle of more than 1,000 people within 500 miles of the side wall!

No matter what the enemy is, in front of the Han army, it is like a clay sculpture, vulnerable!

Zhang Yue listened to Liu Quyu's words, and then looked at everyone, he knew that if he was entangled in this issue now, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Moreover, even if you win, it is useless! It will only attract darkness and hatred!

Moreover, Zhang Yue only felt uneasy, and there was no actual evidence or data to support him.

Therefore, he could only pray for Li Guangli's good luck, smiled at Liu Quyu silently, and stopped talking.

It was the Son of Heaven, who looked at Zhang Yue thoughtfully, suddenly pursed his lips, and then turned his head to Zhang Anshi, who had been standing beside him, and whispered: "After the meeting is dismissed, let General Yingyang stay alone!" ”

"No!" Zhang Anshi was stunned at first, and then nodded immediately.

……………………………………………………

Outside the city, in the wilderness, more and more Qiang people gathered.

The chieftains of the major Qiang races also rushed here.

They climbed the hill and looked out at the Han Dynasty side wall that stretched from Lingjusai to the end.

Everyone had red eyes and swallowed desperately.

For the Qiang people, behind the wall is all their hope.

Warm mountains, babbling rivers, corn and livestock on the plateau.

Especially the latter!

"The descendants of the Wuge Sword!" Under the Great Banner of the Qiang Seal, a man with braided hair, a hideous face, a huge copper ring on his nose, and a bronze weapon on his back, rode on a horse and shouted: "The great tiger god will watch over us!" ”

So, he tore off his sheepskin jacket, revealing the tiger head tattoo on his chest.

This immediately sparked the shouts of countless Wuge (the lower class of the Qiang people, generally a name for slaves): "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Son of the Great Tiger!"

The wild shouts of thousands, or even tens of thousands, immediately stirred up the storm and attracted countless attention.

In particular, the hostility of Xian Lingqiang, who has a deep hatred and blood hatred with the feudal Qiang.

"These kittens, lowly and unscrupulous, what are they howling?" One of the Hao chieftains of Xian Lingqiang scolded and scolded the knife in his hand, and was furious: "The fire will burn these lowly Wuge!" ”

Fen Qiang and Xian Lingqiang have been feuding for hundreds of years.

They have a blood feud with each other.

Sheyang's father and grandfather all died in the war with the feudal Qiang!

He himself was treated as Wuge by the Qiang for several years, until his uncle led an army to rescue him from the cottage where he was raised.

In the years when he was in charge of raising Qiang, he had his nose cut off and his cheek cut off.

Make him ugly!

But it was this abuse that made him extremely tyrannical when he grew up.

The Qiang people are different from the Xiongnu.

Not only because of the differences in social models, lifestyles, and customs, but also because of the completely different social systems and class compositions.

The Qiang people, except for the legendary ancestor Wuge sword, who was blessed by the god of tigers and flames, has never been able to unify all the Qiang tribes.

Even within the various interiors, there has never been unity and unity.

Within each Qiang species, there are several or a dozen chieftains.

There was an endless fight between each other, and the sky was dark.

The only thing that could unite them was the invasion of foreign enemies, especially the other Qiang races.

Or like now, multiple Qiang races, resolve their hatred and form an alliance, and jointly launch a large-scale AAAL with the outside world.

But, even if it is to resolve the revenge into an alliance.

Among all kinds, they may not really let go of the past hatred.

Especially at this moment, the cheers and celebrations of the Wuge who sealed the Qiang aroused the deep anger of almost all the Hao chiefs who had been in the Qiang before!

Not only the sheep, but almost all the Hao chiefs who were first zero, are like flammable and explosive volcanoes at this moment, and they may only need a little stimulation to lead the army to tear apart their mortal enemies!

No way!

Heresies are always more hateful than heretics!

The first zero Qiang and the feudal Qiang, as the big species among the Qiang people.

Its hatred begins with religion, but it is higher than religion!

Xian Lingqiang believes in the god of fire who sheltered the ancestor Wuge Sword at the beginning, and believes that only those who burn and do not die are the true heirs of Wuge Sword.

The feudal Qiang were different, believing in the legendary Tiger that sheltered the Wuge Sword to escape the pursuers and escort it to Huangshui.

The first thing that every Hao chief who wants to take the throne is to go to the deep mountains, alone, hunt a fierce tiger, and skin its tiger back to be recognized!

The difference in beliefs has led to a fight to the death and hatred that has lasted for hundreds of years!

Between the two populations, the amount of blood shed is incalculable.

Fortunately, now, it's not just the feudal Qiang and the first Lingqiang here.

There is also a prison sister Qiang who doesn't believe in tigers and fires at all.

Sister Qiang believes in the wife of Wu Ge Jian, the girl who followed her to the Huangzhong.

This has something to do with the social structure of the prison sisters Qiang - they are still a matriarchal society, where women are respected and all the chiefs are women.

In the past history, the feudal Qiang, the first Lingqiang, and the prison sister Qiang fought with each other and balanced each other.

The most peaceful time for them is when all three are present at the same time.

It was precisely because of the concerns of the prison sister Qiang that Sheyang reluctantly suppressed his anger.

At this time, one of his relatives walked up to him, knelt down and said, "Sheyang sword, Yue's Jisi sword is here!" ”

"Silk? What did he come to do? She Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let him come!" ”

After a while, a man wearing a sheepskin jacket and a small felt hat traditional of the Yue people came to Sheyang, and stroked his chest slightly with the etiquette of the Yue people: "Ji Si has seen a sword!" ”

She Yang snorted angrily twice, and he didn't have a good attitude towards this Yue's people.

The latter didn't mind either.

Instead, he unceremoniously sat down in front of Sheyang, picked up the goat's milk wine on the table and drank it.

The Qiang people and the Yueshi people, in the middle of the river, have loved and killed each other for more than 20 years.

Naturally, there will inevitably be some blending, or even fusion.

It's just that in the past, these things were overshadowed by the powerful civilization and attraction of the Han Dynasty.

Until now, the things that were once covered up, at the instigation of careerists, these things suddenly came out!

Because, this opportunity is too rare for the Yueshi people!

This time, the linkage with the Qiang people and the Huns to conspire with the Han Dynasty seems to be dangerous, but in fact, the nobles of the Yue clan have a number in their hearts!

For them, the purpose and goal of this time is not the Han Dynasty at all!

It's the Qiang people!

With the help of strength, let the Han Dynasty weaken the Qiang people, and then, take the opportunity to annex this ethnic group with a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions.

As for the revenge of the Han Dynasty, they did not take it to heart.

Because, as long as it succeeds, Hexi of the Han Dynasty will be a mess, and at that time, the Han people may not have time to take care of them.

By the time the Han Dynasty freed their hands, they had already completed their business.

At that time, it is a big deal to give in, hand over a few scapegoats, and then pay tribute to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty people will probably pinch their noses and admit the existence of the Yue Clan.

Even if they fail, they have a way back, so they won't be wiped out!

It's a big deal, just hand over a group of people who are on the bright side.

A smart person like Ji Si, of course, hides behind his back and does things secretly.

Of course, these things, the Yueshi people will not tell the Qiang people, or even their own people.

Only the dozen or so nobles at the core know and understand.

Just like this time, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't bear the Qiang people's grinding and swallowing behavior, Jisi wouldn't have come here at all.

He would only hide in the tribe of Hehuang, and let his subordinates tie himself up in the vault, pretending to be under house arrest and hijacking.

In this way, once he fails, he can change from a criminal to a meritorious hero.

"Sword!" Ji Si put down the goat's milk wine jug in her hand, got up and said, "I came here to tell you that with all the swords: you must attack the border wall of the Han Dynasty immediately!" ”

"Otherwise, the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty will gather more and more, and our grain and grass will not be enough!"

She Yang smiled and said, "What do you know? ”

"Just go to the side wall of the Han Dynasty? I'm afraid that even if we die, we won't be able to shake it! ”
