Chapter 59 Conditions
Canghu didn't dare to kill those Qiang people after all, and he still didn't dare to disobey Yun Xiao's words. I am very satisfied with the appearance of the generals, whether it is the harmony between the important generals or the awe of myself.
The chaotic night passed quietly, and the next day Yun Xiao gathered the team. Continue to march towards Wuwei, everything to be done has been done, or converge with Tian Wei early to return to Chang'an. Don't enjoy the happiness at home on a cold day, and wander around the world.
The vast grassland is silvery white, and the white snow reflects the dazzling sunlight. Only a few stubborn dead grasses and shrubs were exposed to the snow, but they were soon picked up by the birds for nesting material.
There is no mark left by anyone in the snow except for the occasional animal trail and bird track. To humans, this place is equivalent to a wilderness, and it is easy to get lost when walking in such a place. Qiang King Doga was curious about how the Han generals used to find the right path. As far as he knew, few Han Chinese had set foot on this land for thousands of years.
A few black spots appeared in the snow in the distance, and there were many cattle and sheep around the black spots.
Tudo and Le Ran knelt reverently in the snow, waiting for the arrival of the Han Chinese. The Zhongqiang tribe is their ally, and they are also the support of each other to survive. The balance of the Qiang is fragile, and each tribe will unite allies against the annexation of other tribes. If the Zhongqiang people are allowed to be plundered, then Le Jieqiang will soon be annexed by other Qiang tribes. This is the cruel law of the grassland, whoever has more is the boss.
Tuduo and Le Ran were taken to Yun Xiao's carriage, and Yun Xiao stood on the wheel and looked at the two tall Qiang women kneeling on the ground. It seems that this is the mysterious Le Sister Qiang. Sure enough, it is a little extraordinary, and with this body, I am afraid that it is more than enough to deal with Canghu with bare hands. The bear may still have a competitive strength to survive.
Yongxi stood in the middle as a translator to convey the conversation between the two sides, her Chinese was very fluent, almost jumping out word by word.
"We want to exchange these cattle and sheep for our people."
Tudo stated the purpose of their trip. Grandma Le Ran took her back to the forest, and looked at the dense arrows Tuduo to know that Le Ran's aunt was right. Le Jieqiang couldn't deal with the powerful Han cavalry, and if she insisted on going her own way, she might bury the entire tribe.
Yun Xiao didn't speak, just waved his hand. Canghu immediately returned to the convoy and took out the seven or eight Qiang girls. He was carrying poor Bardo, and the girl's front teeth had been knocked out. His lips were swollen like two sausages, and one eye was open and the other was swollen high. The leather robe on his body was torn in many pieces, and there were many whip marks on his dark skin.
"Grandma......" Canghu threw Bado to the ground. Bardo meowed like a wounded seedling and ran to the old she-cat.
"These cattle and sheep are still ...... They. Not enough to get it again. ā
Yongxi mechanically translated Le Ran's words. She knew that Sister Le Qiang was very poor, and they didn't have too many cattle and sheep to ransom everyone.
Yun Xiao smiled, this group of cattle and sheep could simply ignore Yun Xiao. These girls are sold to Chang'an City, maybe it will be more cost-effective than exchanging these cattle and sheep.
The generals laughed too. Even the cattle and sheep that accompanied the army and waited to be slaughtered for military rations were more than those brought by Sister Qiang.
Le Ran's face was very embarrassed. She had already taken out all the money in the tribe to bribe the Han Chinese. But these Han Chinese apparently did not accept bribes. And he didn't give a damn about the prettiest girl in the tribe. They really can't offer anything else to these Han people, in exchange for the girls of their own tribe.
"Tell her, I don't want cattle and sheep. These people can also be returned to her. But I have one condition. Some time ago, I was attacked by the Qiang people outside Wuwei City, and I wanted to know who attacked me. And I want them to help me find the old camp of the Qiang people. ā
Seeing Canghu's painful expression yesterday, Yun Xiao decided to find the enemy. Let him get out of this evil breath in his heart, if the last time he was to plunder slaves. Then this time the purpose is much simpler and pureer, and there are only two words, which is killing.
Yongxi translated Yun Xiao's words to Le Ran's aunt, and then Yongxi knew the reason why these Han people attacked the Zhongqiang people, and she felt that the Zhongqiang people were a little innocent. But in front of the strong, there is no such thing as innocent. The Han cavalry in front of him was already strong enough to crisscross the grassland.
"I know, it was the leader of the Jingqiang people who led people to attack you."
Le Ran's grandmother knelt on the ground and told Yun Xiao everything she knew.
Jingqiang people, be strong. There are so many tribes of the Qiang people, and they looked back at the tiger and the goshawk. The eyes of both brothers were already hot.
"Will you help us in our crusade against the Jingqiang? After winning, there will be a reward for you, and of course as a reward we can not only give you no cattle and sheep, but these girls can also be returned to you. ā
Listening to Yongxi's translated words, Tuduo discussed with Le Ran for a while. The Zhongqiang people are finished, and this is irreversible. The powerful Jingqiang people will become the masters of the Qiang people within a radius of thousands of miles, and the Jingqiang people and Le Sister Qiang have never been on good terms. If they become kings, then Sister Le Qiang will not have a good life. It is better to defeat them with the help of this sharp Han cavalry, which can be regarded as a big trouble for Sister Le Qiang.
"We are willing to be your whip and fight with you."
Tuduo said to Yun Xiao.
It's much easier to do with Neiying, and the so-called Jingqiang people must also be a local snake. Otherwise, Ah Jin and Ah Yu would not have found them, and grandma's would have sneaked up on the old man after receiving 10,000 gold. This time you'll spit it out.
From the mouths of Tuduo and Le Ran, Yun Xiao knew that the Jingqiang people were the most powerful tribe of the Qiang people within a radius of thousands of miles. There are as many as 100,000 people, distributed in the land of hundreds of miles between Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain. The alliance between Le Sister Qiang and Zhong Qiang is also to fight against Jing Qiang, not to be annexed by them.
Yun Xiao gasped, 100,000 people! It's a bit difficult to do, let alone 100,000 people, even if 100,000 pigs are killed for you to kill, you will be tired half to death. What's more, it is still distributed in the Hexi Corridor for hundreds of miles, and I am afraid that the fucking march alone will take half a month. Send it like this, and return to Chang'an in the year of the monkey. Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay in this place where birds don't, and going back to Chang'an to sleep with his wife is what he wants.
One of the great advantages of Le Sister Qiang is that Le Sister Qiang's women are well-known beauties on the grassland. Therefore, almost every grassland tribe has a girl from Sister Le Qiang who marries the headman. Yongxi married Duoga in order to maintain the alliance between Sister Le Qiang and Zhong Qiang. So Zhong Qiang didn't know about Qiang's attack on Yunxiao, but Le Sister Qiang knew very well.
Therefore, Le Sister Qiang can be said to know the shape of the grassland well, and the various tribes of the Jingqiang people were marked on the map with the help of Tuduo and Le Ran.
Yun Xiao looked at the map and looked straight at the Yahuazi, and the tribes of the Jingqiang people were scattered on the map. In general, the old camp of the strong bar is in the middle. If Yun Xiao wants to attack the old camp, he must at least gnaw through the three lines of defense of the Jingqiang people.
Yun Xiao didn't care about being willing to penetrate these lines of defense. In his eyes, the Qiang people's defense line is like a soft egg, a poke is a hole, the problem is that this will delay a lot of time. Even if he attacked the old camp, the strong man would have already run away.
If that's the case, he will have to lead Xiang Yong to play peek-a-boo with this strong bar. This game can kill people, and Yun Xiao doesn't want to stay on the grassland for that long.
"Is there any way to transfer the Jingqiang people out, especially the strong bar leader."
Tuduo and Le Ran glanced at each other, and Qiang was killed by Yun Xiao thousands of soldiers and horses. The strength of the tribe has been greatly damaged, and now it is like a hibernating otter. Almost every day, they hide their heads in the hole and don't come out, and they can't adjust the strong bar.
"Grandma, we can go and attack the tribe of the Jingqiang people. Provoke a war so that the Jingqiang will attack us. If we lead the soldiers of the Jingqiang people to the gorge in the Yanzhi Mountains. Then the Han people ambushed it there, and you see how it goes. ā
The clever Yongxi proposed Jian yƬ, and she spoke in Qiang. Yun Xiao didn't understand at all.
"That's possible, but then our tribe will have a grudge against the Jing Qiang people." Aunt Le Ran said with some worry, after all, there are many people in the Jingqiang people. The Han people always have to leave, and if the Jing Qiang people retaliate after the Han people leave, then Sister Qiang will be in trouble.
"Although we have a feud, we will also gain a lot. You can make a deal with the Han people and let the Han people release Duoga and Zhong Qiang's warriors. In addition, you can also ask for a share of the spoils, which is the rule of the grassland, and I am sure that the Han people will follow it.
With Doga's help, will we still be afraid of the wolf cubs of Jingqiang? ā
The water splashed by the girl who got married, it seems that Yongxi still wants to save Duoga with all his heart. Aunt Le Ran shook her head helplessly, and all the people of Duoga were plundered by the Donghu people. Now there are only a thousand warriors here, and it seems that the relationship between this marquis of the Han family and the Donghu people is not simple.
They took the Doga in order to remove the teeth of the Zhongqiang people, and without them, the Doga Zhongqiang people became a flock of sheep without a head, and they were left to graze. The Zhongqiang people in Zhangye had no way to resist, so they could only obediently accept the oppression. How could they release Doga in order to bring out the Jingqiang people, what a stupid girl.
But since Yongxi has brought it up, he still has to ask tentatively. It's good to be able to rescue this poor girl, and I don't know how much suffering I have to endure when I follow Duoga to the place of the Han people.
"We can help you get the Jingqiang people out, but we have one condition."
"Conditions?" Yun Xiao frowned, only people with equal strength could put forward conditions to each other. Yun Xiao didn't see that these Qiang people had any strength to make conditions with him.
"Let's talk about it...... "Look at what these Qiang people want, and also look at their appetites." If what they ask for is proportional to what they contribute, then you might as well say yes. (To be continued......)
