Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1180 Related and Unrelated

"As expected..." Fei Qian nodded after listening to Ling Jie's report, and after thinking for a moment, he motioned Ling Jie to continue, "Where is the Qiang army now?"

The Qiang people are scattered, and without a unified system, they can easily mix among them.

As Fei Qian speculated, there are indeed Qiang tribes nearby.

Ling Jie roughly drew on the ground with a wooden stick, and then said: "About 180 miles northwest of our place, there is a small gathering point. There are about more than 1000 people, less than 2000 people. Listen to them, and then go west by north. About [-] miles away, there is also a gathering point of Qiang people here, the number of people is unknown, but there are Qingyi Qiang and Yak Qiang people, and some other tribes, according to the estimates of the subordinates, the number should be more than [-]..."

"Hmm..." Fei Qian nodded thoughtfully, "So... is there any news about Han and Ma?"

Ling Jie shook his head and said: "I have asked some Qiang people, but no one knows... I am afraid that I will arouse the suspicion of the Qiang people, so I didn't dare to delay too long, so I came back..."

Fei Qian said: "Well, you did the right thing. No matter what military information you spy on, if you can't pass it back, it is worthless... By the way, have you seen the Di people?"

Ling Jie thought about it for a while, and said affirmatively, "There are no Di people, only Qiang people."

Although it is often said that Di and Qiang do not separate families, there are still some differences between Qiang people and Di people, such as the attitude towards animals such as sheep, such as whether to choose burial or cremation, and there are also differences in clothing. The main difference is that around the neck, the Qiang people must have a necklace made of wool, or a woolen rope, while the Di people do not.

Although it is just a woolen rope, for the Qiang people, this rope is the "guidance rope" that guides their souls to the kingdom of God. As a matter of fact, it is never taken down.

Then Ling Jie said that he did not see the Di people, so where did the Di people who attacked the grain and grass convoy come from?
Or is it because Ling Jie only went to the gathering place of the Qiang people this time, but did not find the gathering place of the Di people?
Or……

All kinds of thoughts came.

After thinking for a moment, Fei Qian nodded and let Ling Jie go down to rest first.

Jia Xu and Pang Tong were in Guanzhong, Li Ru was in Hanzhong, and Xun Chen was in Pingyang, so Fei Qian didn't have any counselors by his side, and he could only think about all the problems by himself, which inevitably made Fei Qian a little uncomfortable.

Although Xu Huang can discuss one or two things to some extent, but Xu Huang focuses on specific battles and battlefield deployment. He doesn't have much experience in other aspects. Maybe one day in the future, Xu Huang can also grow into a talent in this area, but for now A little short.

Fei Qian has sent three batches of messenger soldiers to Guanzhong. Up to now, the third batch of soldiers has not turned back, nor sent anyone back to report any abnormalities. This means that no one intercepted them and returned smoothly. Guanzhong.

Of course, there is another possibility that the opponent is too strong and the ambush is too good, so that even one person cannot escape.However, the three batches of messengers sent by Fei Qian did not follow any rules. The interval between the first batch and the second batch was close to a day, while the interval between the third batch and the second batch was less than an hour...

Normally, even if you are caught in an ambush, there must be traces of fighting, and once there are traces of fighting, there must be something wrong, but now the third batch still hasn't come back to warn, it can be confirmed to a certain extent The information on the right can be passed on to Guanzhong.

However, the situation in Longyou is still unclear. There are too many puzzle pieces missing. What is the attitude of the Qiang and Di people, or how many Qiang and Di people are involved in this matter? Where is Ma Chao and what are they going to do? These are all questions that need to be investigated by Fei Qian now.

But before that, we must first solve the problem of Di Renwang's nest in the next debate...

After all, this is the closest to Fei Qian, a larger, unidentified source of threat.

However, there is also too little information about the Di people. I don’t know what the leader’s personality is like, what are his hobbies, and I still need to get in touch again...

....................................

Inside the big tent of Baima Qiang, Jiang Jiong and the leader of Baima Qiang sat facing each other, staring at each other.

"This matter..." Zhiwoji said in a deep voice, "I have nothing to do with it! It wasn't our Baimaqiang people who did it! Whether you believe it or not, I can only tell you this!"

"It has nothing to do with you?" Jiang Jiong frowned, looked closely at the leader of Baima Qiang, Riwoji, and then asked in a deep voice, "Then, old friend, tell me, who is this matter related to?"

Unlike Fei Qian, who needs to slowly explore and investigate, Jiang is a common surname on the ground in Tianshui. Naturally, he has a better and stronger understanding of the surrounding situation. Therefore, after the fast horse arrived in Tianshui, Jiang Jiong was almost non-stop. Baimaqiang was found again to determine what happened.

Jiang Jiong can single-handedly rush in front of the White Horse Qiang Headman. It does not mean that Jiang Jiong must be braver, more courageous, and has the halo of the protagonist than Fei Qian, but it is a very simple reason. Jiang Jiong's current Personal value is much different from Fei Qian's personal value.

Apart from Jiang's original friendship with the Qiang people, from the point of view of personal safety and life risk alone, is there no risk in Jiang Jiong's behavior of going to the meeting alone?
There are risks as well, but this risk is not great.Because everyone knows that even if Jiang Jiong is killed, or detained Jiang Jiong to threaten something, it is impossible to gain much, and because of this, a local family name will be hated and retaliated against, so unless it is some extreme Under the special circumstances, Jiang Jiong's personal safety is even safer when he is inside Baima Qiang than when he is wandering outside...

Fei Qian is different.

If Fei Qian dared to go to the meeting alone, then he would definitely die by himself.Everyone knows that Fei Qian has no heir at the moment, that is to say, after Fei Qian is killed, the interest group under Fei Qian will definitely fall apart immediately in order to maintain their own existing interests. Don't worry about Fei Qian's direct blood relatives coming to revenge.Losing some reputation can be exchanged for huge benefits. Such a business is naturally very cost-effective in the eyes of many people.

It's like if the future president of the United States dared not to make a public note, and did not bring a large number of guards and personnel, and went to a country with conflicts by himself, such as Lulu or Beibangzi, believe it or not, the population would evaporate immediately?
The position in which you do it is different, and the value of the individual is also different.

Jiang Xiong is now Fei Qian's hands, feet and eyeliner. Whether it's Jiang's future considerations or his own official prospects, the risk of breaking into Baima Qiang alone is almost negligible to him.

Therefore, Jiang Xiong's attitude towards Riwoji of Baimaqiang was also very rude, anyway Riwoji would not do anything to him.

At least he won't do anything to Jiang Jiong inside Baima Qiang.

Zhiwoji glared at Jiang Jiong and said, "I don't know!"

Jiang Jiong shook his head and said, "No, you must know!"

Zhiwoki snorted, stopped talking, and turned his head aside.

"Old friend, I was wrong..." Jiang Jiong said with a sudden smile, "But you also know that our Jiang's fleet has been transshipping the food and grass of General Zhengxi, and we are really busy..."

"So all of you are busy replacing yourselves with a batch of blades and armors. Even the guards in Tianshui County have the leather armors you replaced?" Riwoji interrupted Jiang Jiong's words without any politeness. He said, "Where's my goods? The saber that I promised to give me and that what...what..."

"Icing sugar." Jiang Jiong kindly reminded.

"Yes!" Ziwoki stared, then couldn't help licking his lips, and said, "Sugar...what a beautiful name, it's sugar, I haven't seen it at all! How dare you come here! I didn't cut you with a knife, you We should thank God Aries for his tolerance and kindness!"

"Hmm..." Jiang Jiong said calmly, "Old friend, this is your fault..."

"Ah?" Ziwoki couldn't react.

Jiang Jiong said calmly: "Old friend, if you want ordinary sabers, there is no problem. Later, I will ask people in the family to spare some for you. Is fifty enough? Is eighty enough? If not, just go One hundred!"

"what?"

Before Riwoji could say anything, Jiang Jiong quickly continued: "However, your original swords and delicious icing will belong to our Jiang family..."

"What?" Ziwoki almost jumped up and shouted loudly, "No! Absolutely not!"

"Oh, let me say, old friend," Jiang Jiong said without changing his face and heartbeat, "Do you really think that those hundred-smelting swords and delicious icing are blown by the strong wind? Or did they fall from the sky? Hmm? Don’t even think about it, how can it be so easy to make such a delicate and precious thing? Just like the lamb in your camp, it also needs the careful care of sweet pastures to grow up day by day, isn’t it? Can it turn into a big sheep as soon as it hits the ground and blows the wind?"

Zhiwoji rolled his eyes, obviously relaxed a lot, hesitated for a moment, and said: "So, my goods still need some time to prepare?"

"Of course! Good things have to wait..." Jiang Jiong said, "Even the rain in the sky and the pasture on the ground need to wait... The only thing that doesn't need to wait is the loess and stones, but these don't need to wait." How useful is the waiting thing? Old friend, you are too impatient... Or should I follow my suggestion and replace it with ordinary ones for you?"

"No!" Zhiwoji flatly refused, "Why do you want ordinary ones? No, no!"

"I just have a suggestion, if you can't wait..." Jiang Jiong laughed, then leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "Okay, anyway, you are in charge, but... now you can tell me what is going on Right? Who did it?"

Zhiwoji was silent for a while, and finally said: "I can tell you, but you must not say that you got the news from me!"

Jiang Jiong slapped his chest loudly and said, "Old friend, don't you still believe me? Don't worry, just tell me..."

....................................

Tianshui County, Yang's mansion.

Under the guidance of the servant, Jiang Xu walked into the hall quickly, and when he saw Yang Fu, he bowed his hands and saluted, and said straight to the point: "Brother Yishan, have you heard about the incident outside the city?"

Yang Fu bowed his hand to return the salute, asked Jiang Xu to sit down, then motioned to the servants beside him to bring tea soup, and then said slowly: "I heard, what do you think of Boyi?"

On the outskirts of Tianshui, many manors that were not well-prepared were attacked, many people were killed, and some houses were burned down. As a result, some of the immature grain and grass were also damaged to varying degrees.

Of course, the people in the manor that was attacked all said that they had seen the tricolor flag, and in the entire Han Dynasty, only General Zhengxi used the tricolor flag...

"Although someone has seen Zhengxi's banner, but according to someone's opinion, it doesn't look like Zhengxi's person..." Jiang Xu looked at Yang Fu and said in a deep voice.

Yang Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

"Brother Sheji, just returned to Tianshui the day before yesterday, and the manor in the southern suburbs was raided yesterday..." Jiang Xu said, "Brother She once said that there were not many horses in the expedition to the west, so why are there so many cavalry? If Xi wanted to pay compensation, he would have to send a message from his younger brother, so why bother to force him? A little food, not to mention ten times, even twenty times, a certain family can afford to pay! If Zheng Xi really acts like this, wouldn’t it be too much? Xiaojiazi is getting a little angry? Zheng Xiping, Baibo and Xianbei have a great reputation, how can they be such a shallow person?"

Yang Fu glanced at Jiang Xu, motioned Jiang Xu to drink tea, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Then, I don't know how Zhong Yi will comment on this matter?"

"Brother She bluntly said that it is definitely not what Zhengxi said. I have gone to look for Baima Qiang now, to find out one or two..." Jiang Xu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said, "However, before leaving, Brother She said that Yu Zhengxi From the General, I have seen the 'Old Qin Order'..."

"Huh?" Yang Fu's eyes widened, and he repeated, "'Old Qin Ling'? How could there be an 'Old Qin Ling' in Zhengxi? In this way, wouldn't it be..."

Jiang Xu shook his head and said: "Zhengxi was born in Heluo, it is true, so he is not from the old Qin Dynasty, this order is definitely not from Zhengxi's family..."

Yang Fu was stunned for a moment, then sighed suddenly, and said: "If this decree had been born ten years earlier...now Xiliang is dilapidated, not the same as before..."

Jiang Xu was also silent for a long time, and then said: "However, Brother She feels that Zhengxi doesn't seem to know the origin of the 'Old Qin Ling'...It seems that he got it by accident, and put it on the table at random..."

"Ha!" Yang Fu couldn't help laughing, and said, "I got it by chance? Boyi, don't be kidding, this thing is no small thing, how can I get it by chance... Really? This... This... This is really..."

Yang Fu and Jiang Xu looked at each other, and couldn't help but sighed together.
