The problem is tricky, but there is always a solution. It's just that Tang Ning hasn't come up with it yet, and Pei Xiantong's sentence of killing is like a sprout after a spring rain, growing wildly on the prairie in Tang Ning's heart.

"Old man, think of a way."

"What's the solution?"

"You can't kill all of these 8,000 people here, can you? And then our rations are not enough, not enough to support us here and wait for You Shixiong to divide his troops and come back after occupying the city......"

"The old man found out that you are a person, sometimes extremely smart, sometimes stupid as a pig." Cheng Yang interrupted Tang Ning's words, and threw Tang Ning with such a sentence.

"Why are you swearing?"

"You're the one who scolds!" Cheng Yang said angrily: "The old man asked you, what is the most important thing we lack now?" ”

"This ...... Weapons? ”

"Alas, the last thing we lack is money, it's money! How can we suppress bandits along the way in vain? If you go and ask Xiao Zhang, if the army moves forward, there will be more than a dozen vehicles transporting gold and silver treasures alone. ”

"Old man, you still call me stupid, and you are no better. What about having money? Can you still play a trick on me and turn this money into food? ”

Cheng Yang was helpless, he didn't know why Tang Ning said this to himself in a disdainful tone.

The place of Qingtang has long been not the high degree of unity of the Jiaoluo and Dong Yu periods. A few years ago, Ali Gu and Western Xia failed to fight against the Song Dynasty, and the Qingtang people had long since disobeyed his discipline and chose to part ways with him.

Therefore, Qingtang has fallen into a long-term civil strife over the years.

The reason why Zhao Xu dared to use troops against Qingtang with such a tough attitude was that the civil strife in Qingtang was a very important factor.

When the Song Dynasty attacked Qingtang in a big way, You Shixiong was very clever in his slogan, saying that it was to overthrow the incompetent vassal king of Ali Gu and return the Qingtang people to a pure land.

Therefore, the tribes that rebelled against Ali Gu did not have any antipathy to the Song army. Of course, there will be no good feelings. If they can't do the thing of entrusting their wives and children, they will naturally welcome them with their hands when they use money to buy food.

After all, many of the Qingtang people yearn for the life of the Song people, and with money, they can go to the Song Kingdom to buy a piece of land, build a house, and become a leisurely old farmer.

Don't believe it, this is the charm of agricultural civilization. This is how many Qiang people have been successfully transformed......

Tang Ning didn't know much about these, which was why Cheng Yang scolded him for being stupid.

Not far from Wachui Village, sixty miles to the northwest, there is a rebel tribe. The scale of this rebellious tribe is not small, and the leader of the tribe is also a powerful figure.

Many rebel tribes that were wiped out came here when they fled, and the soldiers of this tribe were able to fight well.

All of them are talents, Ali Gu and Ghost Zhang have planned several times, but they have not been able to destroy this tribe.

After looking at the map, Tang Ning felt that this was a feasible solution. For a tribe of this size, there will be no shortage of cattle and sheep. If you ask them to buy cattle and sheep with a large amount of money, they will not refuse.

Now that the strategy has been decided, the next road is much easier.

At the meeting where he was elected to lead the team to the rebel tribes, Downing won the opportunity by an overwhelming margin of seven votes.

"Hey! I'm the boss! I'm a ruler! You choose me to go, what will you do if something happens to me? ”

"We're going to miss you." Shen Qian said with a grin.

Takaki nodded in agreement.

After Tang Ning scolded a few words, he also accepted the result. This is something that can't be helped, after all, people have a big business, and if they send two or three kittens and dogs that don't go into the stream, people will think that they are looking down on them.

Not to mention pretending to be a businessman, what businessman is willing to come to do business in the midst of war? Besides, it's not far away, and if there's a little movement here, you can hear it clearly.

In this way, it is better to go to the titular commander. By the way, if you take the tie with you, if you think about it, there must be a big festival between the two parties.

packed up his things, and Tang Ning didn't bring many people. Two carts of gold and silver jewelry. Pei Xiantong and Lin Wei were guarding by their side, Xiao Shi and Fang La followed left and right as personal soldiers, Wujin Camp and Wuwei Battalion each selected fifty people, and ten good men were selected from the Pingxia Camp.

With enough food to eat for about three days, Tang Ning immediately set off towards the location of the rebel tribe.

The location of the rebel tribe, located at the end of a tributary of the Huangshui River. The environment here is very good, the pastures are fertile, the cattle and sheep are herded, and behind a mountain col, you can see a herd of wild horses running like a joy.

Downing and his party arrived at the place two days later.

There were no accidents along the way, no horse thieves, no bandits, and no soldiers from Qingtang.

Only occasionally I would see a group of cavalry running over to my side, thinking that this was the scout sent by the rebel tribe to stare at Wachui Village.

When I came to the riverbank, I saw one small tent after another on the grassland in the distance. Dense crowds, and slowly fluttering sheep like white clouds.

Tang Ning had just met with a shepherd when he was warmly welcomed.

Hundreds of knights suddenly came from a distance and surrounded Tang Ning's group in the middle, and the Qiang interpreter was scared to death, but he still stubbornly said, under Tang Ning's instructions: "Brave Qingtang warriors, I am the commander of the Song army that has now captured Wachui Village.

I came with the goodwill of the Great Song Kingdom and the bravest on the grassland

The samurai made friends, hoping that everyone could live in peace and that something unpleasant would not happen. ”

Tang Ning said, looking at a cavalryman circling around Pei Xiantong.

"Otherwise......" As soon as the words fell, the long knives in the hands of the Song soldiers were unsheathed.

The uniform movement makes the sound of the knife drawn out of the sheath very shocking. The horse under the crotch of the Qingtang man was frightened, and finally controlled it, turned his head and glared at Song Jun and cursed.

Just when the two sides were tense and on the verge of breaking out. A man who looked like a cavalry leader walked out of the crowd, blinked, looked at the smiling Tang Ning and muttered a few words.

"He asked us what was in the box, and who the man with the black cloth on his head was, and where the horse under our ass came from."

"The box was full of money, and the horses under the ass had been snatched from the hands of those proud and ignorant Ali bones. As for the man with a black cloth on his head, let me tell him when I see the leader of your tribe. ”

"But Song people, if you came with good intentions, then why are you still wearing armor and carrying weapons?"

"In our Song country, there is a saying that you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people. We have no intention of violating you, let alone the idea of that, but we have to guard against you suddenly attacking us.

Of course, if you can show that you are generous, I don't think it will be difficult for us to trust each other. ”

Tang Ning said with a big smile on his face.

I have to say that it is still a bit good for people to be sunny and handsome. At least the cavalry leader in front of Tang Ning couldn't feel the slightest bit of bad feelings for Tang Ning's smile.

Tang Ning gestured, and Song Jun collectively inserted his weapons back into their sheaths.

Tang Ning said sincerely: "This warrior, I come with sincerity, I hope you will inform your leader, and don't let your leader lose an opportunity to make good friends." ”

The cavalry leader listened to the Qiang people's translation, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, Song people. I will go and bring you to my chief, hoping that what you say is true, and that you have come to make friends with us with good intentions. ”

"It's nature." Tang Ning was relieved and said with a smile: "You are the real master of this grassland, I am just a warm-hearted neighbor who helps the master get rid of pests." ”

When the cavalry leader heard this, he also laughed. Satisfied nodded: "But you need to wait for a while, the leader has just met a Song man, and when he leaves, you can see the leader, I don't know if you mind?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Ning smiled and waved his hand, and was surprised in his heart, in this kind of place, in this period, in addition to the Song army he represented, where would there be Song people coming to Qingtang?
