Zhong Xuan pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "If Yan Xing really wants to surrender to the lord and can encourage the Qiang people to raise troops to attack, it will be a great achievement for the general." ”

"However, let's not talk about whether Yan Xing really wants to surrender. Even if he was bent on surrendering to the lord, the Qiang people had Ma Chao there, and they might not necessarily listen to Yan Xing's words. ”

Chen Jing nodded slowly when she heard this.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing have always been at odds, and now they hate to eat each other's meat raw.

If Yan Xing encouraged the Qiang people to go east to Koubian, Ma Chao would definitely oppose it. With Ma Chao's prestige among the Qiang people, Yan Xing's plan may not be successful.

Tapping the table with his fingers quietly, Chen Jing closed his eyes and thought for a long time before asking Zhong Xuan: "What do you think is the chance that Yan Xing will sincerely surrender?" ”

Zhong Xuan said: "According to the scouts, Ma Chao did descend the Qiang people, and he was quite important next to Song Jian, the king of Qiang. With the relationship between Yan Xing and Ma Chao, he will definitely not want to be a minister in the same hall as Ma Chao. ”

"What's more, Yan Xing is a Han man after all, and he may not be able to be truly reused by the Qiang chieftain."

"As stated in the letter, it is likely that he defected to the Qiang people in the first place, and it is likely that he was indeed to avenge Han Sui, so that he could use the hands of the Qiang people to kill Ma Teng's father and son."

"From this point of view, the probability of Yan Xing's sincere surrender is extremely high."

Chen Jing's eyes shrank slightly, and he said slowly: "As long as he sincerely surrenders, things will be much easier." ”

After the discussion was dispersed, Chen Jing secretly summoned Zhong Xuan over and plotted for a long time before releasing Yan Xing's envoy.

However, it was said that Yan Xing secretly sent a confidant to send a letter to Chen Jing with the intention of fornication, and more than half a month had passed.

Yan Xing waited left and right, but he didn't wait for Chen Jing's reply, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

On this day, he was bored practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and suddenly saw a dusty figure, and immediately rejoiced.

This person is Yan Xing's henchman, although he defected to the Qiang people, he also led some cronies over at that time.

These people have always followed Yan Xing and never gave up.

And this henchman who is responsible for delivering the letter is one of them, and he deserves Yan Xing's complete trust.

Yan Xing hurriedly stepped forward, patted the dust on the man's body, and said, "Brother, you are back." ”

The person who could be sent by Yan Xing to meet Chen Jing was naturally very delicate.

He looked around vigilantly, and saw that there were no outsiders here, so he whispered: "General, it's better to go into the house and talk again." ”

Yan Xing suddenly realized, and suddenly patted his forehead, before welcoming him into the house, and summoned his confidants to surround the entire courtyard.

When he came to the secret room, Yan Xing immediately couldn't wait to ask, "How is the harvest when you go to Longxian County?" ”

The man took out a personal letter and said, "Everything is in this letter, and the general will know it at a glance." ”

The letter was made of silk cloth to prevent it from getting wet with sweat, but there was not a word on this silk cloth.

After Yan Xing saw it, he looked at the cronie puzzled.

The cronies knew Yan Xing's doubts, and immediately said: "General Chen Jing is worried that the letter will be intercepted and the content will be leaked out, which will harm the general's life, so he used special pigments. ”

"The general only needs to bring a basin of water, pour cinnabar into it and stir well, and then put the silk cloth in it, and the handwriting will be revealed."

When Yan Xing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "General Chen Jing is really a fine person." ”

There is no reason why Chen Jing is not cautious, if this Yan Xing's cronies are caught by others and find out the personal letters, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even though it doesn't have much impact on the overall situation of Liangzhou, Yan Xing's life must not be guaranteed. Chen Jing did this just to be more secure.

But he didn't want to, his unintentional action made Yan Xing feel a little moved.

Then, according to the words of his cronies, Yan Xing brought a basin of water, poured cinnabar into it and stirred well, and then put the silk cloth in.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a lot of black handwriting to be revealed on the silk cloth.

Yan Xing quickly picked up the silk cloth and carefully read the contents before he couldn't help but sigh: "I was worried before, because Ma Chao was in the way, and I had no way to persuade the Qiang people to send troops. ”

"Since there is such a clever plan on the silk cloth today, why am I afraid of Ma Chao'er?"

As soon as he had finished speaking, he poured some oil on the silk cloth and burned it completely.

Then Yan Xing said to the cronie: "I am a Hanchen, I want to descend to the court for a long time, you are my brother, are you willing to achieve great things with me?" ”

The cronie hurriedly knelt on the ground and swore a solemn word: "Never give up!" ”

With a plan in his heart, Yan Xing went to meet Song Jian, the leader of the Qiang people, that afternoon.

The name Song Jian seems to belong to the Han people at first glance, but in fact, Song Jian himself is an authentic Qiang person. Even, the history of Song Jian's leading the Qiang rebellion was no later than Han Sui.

In the first year of Zhongping, that is, in 184 AD, the year of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Song Jian led the Qiang people and the kingdom to rebel in Liangzhou.

It wasn't until Han Sui seized the rights of the kingdom and abolished it that Song Jian saw that Han Sui was not easy to follow, so he quietly led some Qiang people to leave and became the warlords of Liangzhou on the separatist side.

Later, Wen Zhao led his troops to pacify Liangzhou, but Song Jian was afraid of the Guanzhong soldiers and did not fight with Han Sui, Ma Teng and others with Wen Zhao.

After the 'Qiang Killing Order' came out, Song Jian relied on his powerful power to recruit the rest of the Qiang tribes everywhere, and there were more and more soldiers and horses under his command.

Not only that, but even the three powerful Qiang tribes of Burndang, Burn He, and Sister Le were also integrated under his leadership.

After the Qiang defeated Ma Teng and captured Ma Chao, Song Jian led the Qiang people to establish a state in the four counties of Longxi. Fortunately, Song Jian did not faint, so he did not dare to call himself the emperor, but only called himself the king of Pinghan.

It has to be said that the inertia of history is extremely strong.

Even though the situation in Liangzhou has long been unrecognizable, Song Jian is still the same as in history, and he is called the King of Pinghan.

It's just that the current Song Jian is much stronger than the Liangzhou warlord in history.

In the history of Song Jian, the imperial court crusaded several times without success, until October 214 AD, was Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, Zhang Ji led the troops to pacify.

After Song Jian's death, all the officials such as the prime minister under him were also beheaded.

At that time, Song Jian had been king in Longxi for more than 30 years.

It can be seen that although Song Jian is a Qiang person, he is by no means easy to match.

Song Jian, who has now rectified all the Qiang people, is even more ambitious, and has always been eyeing Liangzhou, wanting to take advantage of the endless war in the Central Plains to lead the Qiang people to rise up.

At this time, Song Jian was playing with several beautiful women in the palace, and these beautiful women were all Han women he snatched.

When he heard that Yan Xing asked to see him, he waved his hand to let the Meiji retreat, put on a majestic posture, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xuan Yan Xing is here." ”
