Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 649
Hua Xiong led [-] men to successfully delay the retreat of the Qiang soldiers and horses, and Gongsun Xu took advantage of this gap to detour and arrive at the tribe of the Qiang people. His purpose was to take down all the Qiang tribes. Solve all problems once and for all.

There is no way, Gongsun Xu doesn't have much time to waste here now, the northern border is critical, and Gongsun Xu can't imagine how critical it is.

Li Ru knew something about the situation, but Li Ru deliberately did not report to Gongsun Xu what happened in Northern Xinjiang. His purpose was not to disturb Gongsun Xu. If Gongsun Xu made a decision now, it would be extremely dangerous.

Gongsun Xu also guessed something, and he still agrees with Li Ru's approach.That's why she sent Hua Xiong to entangle the Qiang army, while he himself led [-] troops from his headquarters to detour and attack.

On the grassland, Huaxiong's [-] cavalry ran over to harass the enemy from time to time, and then fled away. Apart from slowing down the speed of the Qiang soldiers and horses, doing so would not cause much damage to the Qiang army. , everyone knows it well, so the Qiang army doesn't care about Hua Xiong's harassment.

As soon as their speed slowed down, Gongsun Xu bought enough time.The detour and surprise attack would have taken nearly half the distance compared to Hua Xiong's side. If there is not enough time, all plans will come to naught.

Five days later, when the Qiang army was still on the way, Gongsun Xu had already led his army to capture the Baiyang Qiang, which was the most powerful Qiang tribe in the Qiang army.

Today, the vast majority of those remaining in these Qiang tribes are old and weak, women and children, and they have little fighting power at all. At the beginning, Gongsun Xu was careful not to make preparations in advance.

But when he captured three Qiang tribes one after another within half a day, he realized that there were not many string control men in these tribes. The real warriors were all taken out to fight, and the only warriors left for defense were There are only a few thousand people, and they can't resist Gongsun Xu's attack at all.

"Reorganize the soldiers and horses and rest for a day." After taking down the last Qiang tribe, Gongsun Xu finally ordered to rest. These days of long-distance marches, coupled with such successive battles, except for the Huben army, the rest of the soldiers are now exhausted.

"My lord, I just discovered some letters." After handing in a few letters, Dian Wei said, "I found it from Baiyang Qiang. The leader of Baiyang Qiang is also surprised that he has hidden all the secret letters in his little wife. There.

If his little wife betrayed him, wouldn't this guy lose everything, hehe.Sometimes I really don't know what kind of brains these people have, and they don't think clearly about things at all. "

After hastily reading the letter, Gongsun Xu said coldly: "Baiyang Qiang, damn it, hum. It's really hateful to conspire with Han Sui to cooperate with the grassland coalition forces to take down my northern border."

"What do you mean? This Baiyang Qiang is still in contact with Han Sui and the others." Dian Wei asked, "I thought they were just tricked by Han Sui to attack Li Ru."

"The strength of the Baiyang Qiang is the largest among these Qiang tribes." Gongsun continued: "A few years ago, the Baiyang Qiang secretly annexed the small nearby tribes, and then united with other tribes in the name of alliances to form a secret. Alliance, this alliance looks like everyone is on an equal footing, but in fact it is the Aries and Qiang leader who decides.

Secretly, it was Han Sui who was directing all this again, and his purpose was just to keep an eye on our army, so as to prevent our army from suddenly attacking and taking down the remnants of the Huns in one fell swoop.

The anomalies of Li Ru's tribe have been noticed by them long ago, and they also guessed that Li Ru may be a member of our northern border army, so they deliberately isolated and attacked Li Ru's tribe.

When the Li Ru tribe first came to the grassland, they were besieged by these Qiang tribes. At that time, I also led the troops to patrol, but later this matter was left alone. I didn’t care at the time, thinking it was just a tribe The competition between them, it seems now, was my negligence at the time.

When I was scheming others, others were also scheming me. This Han Sui probably started planning all this many years ago. When I supported Ma Teng, he must have known that his power in Xiliang would be contained, so he decided to Want to develop forces on the grassland. "

"So that's it." Dian Wei nodded and said: "In this way, everything makes sense. I said why these Qiang tribes work so hard. Han Sui can make them gather an army with a single word. Now it seems that the relationship between these people The time was agreed long ago."

"Go and pick out all the families of the leaders of the tribes." Gongsun Xu squinted his eyes and said, "They want to take down my northern border, so I will let them die."

After a day's rest, Gongsun Xu led [-] cavalry to escort the families of all the leaders to the only way for the Qiang soldiers and horses. Now everything is ready, and they are waiting to negotiate with the Qiang soldiers and horses.

It has to be said that Hua Xiong accomplished his mission very well this time. The Qiang army was dragged by him for less than a hundred miles a day. When they were about to reach the Qiang tribe camp, they found that Gongsun Xu had already Waiting here for a long time.

In front of the formation of the two armies, Gongsun Xu rode his horse and ran out of a young general. He came to a position fifty steps ahead of the Qiang soldiers and horses and stopped.

"Baiyang Qiang, Qingyi Qiang, Bison Qiang,,,,,,," the young general pointed at the opposing army and shouted: "Ask your leaders to come out and answer. If anyone refuses to come out within a stick of incense, my lord will definitely come out!" Make him regret his whole life."

The young general also had a temper. After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and ran back to the front line, completely ignoring the resentful eyes of the opposing soldiers.

However, resentment is resentment, and these Qiang leaders ran over with great sense of humor. After all, it is not a good thing for Gongsun Xu to appear here. What is their tribe like now, and whether they have been taken down by Gongsun Xu, you have to ask Gongsun Xu continued.

"I, Gongsun Xu of Northern Xinjiang." Gongsun Xu rode his horse to the front of the battle and roared: "You dare to send troops to offend me and violate our previous agreement. Today, I will definitely let you know what the Northern Xinjiang Army's revenge is. "

"You, hum, Gongsun Xu, don't pretend to be ruthless in front of us." The leader of Baiyang Qiang stepped forward and said: "We did send troops this time, but we don't know the relationship between this tribe and you, so it's not a violation." agreement.

You don't look at yourself, the total is only [-] soldiers and horses, and my side is not weaker than you. If we really want to fight, will we lose?
Gongsun Xu, you'd better be more sensible. I heard that Northern Xinjiang is very critical now. You should save some energy and go back to rescue your hometown as soon as possible. Don't be beaten by us and go home with no face. "

"You are the leader of Baiyang Qiang." Gongsun Xu pointed at the other party and said: "I know you, I let you go, but I didn't expect you to become arrogant now.

If others don't know the relationship between this tribe and me, that's fine, don't you know?This was found from your house, don't play tricks on me here, do you want me to analyze it for you now?

Listen, all of you, I will give you half a stick of incense time to think about it, either surrender now, or, I will let you perish, you choose yourself. "

Threats, blatant threats, after Gongsun Xu said these words, he turned his head and left, not caring about the expressions of those leaders at all. The leader of Baiyang Qiang stared at the letter that Gongsun Xu threw on the ground, and he was not sure in his heart.

"What should we do? Should we fight or surrender?" The Qingyi Qiang leader stepped forward and asked, "I heard that Gongsun Xu is a lord of benevolence and righteousness. Why don't we surrender? It would be bad if we don't hurt our tribal people." . "

Some of the other leaders also began to waver. After all, this is related to the survival of their tribe. The reason why they sent troops was to grab some good things. After all, spring is coming soon. Very thin, they just want to increase their wealth, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." The leader of Baiyang Qiang seemed to have made up his mind. He stared at the other leaders and said, "Don't you know who Gongsun Xu is? Will he let us go?

Now it's just that he is not strong enough, and there is an accident in his hometown in northern Xinjiang, so he wants to solve this matter as soon as possible. Have you ever thought about what will happen after we surrender? Gongsun Xu will really let us go?
Hmph, Gongsun Xu must be in a hurry to go back when the prairie coalition forces are besieging northern Xinjiang. He has so many troops now, how can he fight against the prairie coalition forces? He will definitely drive us to fight.

Our warrior, why did he shed blood for the enemy? If he, Gongsun Xu, is really the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness, why would he threaten us with the lives of our tribal people here.

Let's all be sober, this Gongsun Xu has a heart of snakes and scorpions, he will not let us go.If I'm not mistaken, he just wants to appease us first, and then let us go to fight for him.

Hmph, regardless of victory or defeat, we have no good ending.If Gongsun Xu defeats the grassland coalition forces, do you think we will still have any status then?Do we still need to exist?At that time, I'm afraid it will be Gongsun Xuxie's opportunity to kill the donkey. Don't forget, the Han people have a saying since ancient times, the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog prospers, the flying birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden.

At that time, even if we have made great contributions to Gongsunxu, he will not let us go. Do you think our people and our descendants will become slaves of the Han people?

If Gongsun Xu loses, hehe, we will die without a place to die. Gongsun Xu has his own cronies and subordinates. If we don't die, how could he use his cronies and subordinates? When he is about to perish, we The tribe, I am afraid it has long since ceased to exist.

Be sober, don't be fooled by him.Besides, Gongsun Xu may not have taken our tribe yet, this is our territory, as long as we are in a stalemate with Gongsun Xu today, he will definitely retreat. "

When the other leaders were told by the leader of Baiyang Qiang, they all nodded in agreement. After all, they can afford it now, but Gongsun Xu can't afford it. As long as they survive for a few days, can Gongsun Xu not retreat?
