Chapter 274: The Qiang Race(1/2)
As Zhao Tong sent envoys to the Western Qiang tribes one after another.
Wait for the envoys to arrive on the Qiang ground one after another.
Branch of the Western Han River.
Inside the Baima Qiang camp near Bailongjiang River.
The prince Yang Wanwan, who was now responsible for handling the affairs of the clan, had an in-depth exchange with the Han envoys and thought carefully.
My heart gradually became clearer.
This is already a way to deal with it.
When he had made the decision to send troops to help the Han army, he was about to go to Yazhang to see the Qiang King to report the matter.
An uninvited guest came to the camp again!
Enter the camp.
He is about middle-aged in his thirties. He has a slender figure and is dressed in brocade clothes. He is well-dressed and has the demeanor of a scholar.
He also did not go to see Qiang King Yang Ju immediately.
First go to the royal tent of Prince Yang Wanwan.
"I wonder who your envoy is?"
"Why are you here at my Baima Qiang station?"
Seeing another Han envoy coming, Yang Qianwan had already guessed it, but he still pretended not to know and asked questions.
And this person’s reply was basically expected.
"Prince, I am an official in the governor Zhang's mansion in Liangzhou, and I have been specially ordered to pay a visit to King Qiang and his prince."
In one word.
As expected!
This person was an envoy from Cao's army sent by Zhang Ji.
However, as the saying goes, "When it comes, make peace with it."
Although Yang Wanwan already knew the battles happening around him very well!
And I have already made a decision in my heart.
He will definitely not accept Cao's solicitation.
But now that the person has arrived, he still has a big smile on his face and deals with it in an imaginative and resigned manner.
There was no hint of evil in his face.
For a while.
The two people in the king's tent seemed to be chatting happily.
But the reality is that they each have their own hidden agendas.
But after all, things cannot be contained by paper.
The day after Cao envoy arrived at the Baima Qiang station.
The Han envoy had already discovered the truth.
Because Yang Wanwan has not yet given an accurate answer.
Do you want to call on all the tribes to help out and protect your own logistics, or are you asking for your way back?
He was also worried that the arrival of Ambassador Cao would interfere and make the matter more complicated, causing Yang Wanwan, who was already interested, to change his mind again or become hesitant.
That would be bad!
Before he left, Zhao Tong warned him with a serious face.
The road connecting Wangcheng Valley to the important town of Qiang Road in the west is a lifeline.
If we want to compete with Cao Jun this time, we must ensure the smooth flow of this logistics line.
What if it is occupied by the Qiang people called by the Cao family.
Then I am afraid that the proactive strategy finalized this time will come to naught.
After saying this.
The envoy still recalled that Zhao Tong said more eloquently.
"But if we want to ensure smooth traffic to the west of Wangcheng Valley, we can only rely on Baima Qiang to protect it this time."
At this moment, Zhao Tong's extremely solemn words flashed through his mind unconsciously.
I recall my general's tone at that time.
The envoy also understood that whether he could succeed this time would determine the success of his strategy to invade Liangzhou.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more and more nervous deep inside.
I was afraid that Ambassador Cao might persuade Prince Yang Wanwan to change his mind.
After thinking deeply, he made a decision.
Go to the king's tent again to see you.
Let's get some information and see what the current situation is.
Just move when you say it.
It only takes about two quarters of an hour.
He passed the search and inspection of the guards again, and was able to enter the king's tent.
At this moment, Ambassador Cao happened to be living among them, chatting with Yang Wanwan.
Seeing this, the Han envoy felt angry and unjust, and his worries couldn't help but become even more intense.
Even his tone was not as peaceful as before.
He said bluntly: "Prince, who is this?"
"Are you a distinguished guest from your clan?"
The words fell.
The Han envoy's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He stared closely at the Cao envoy who was sitting upright over there and asked him.
One word fell.
Seeing that the Han envoy suddenly became much harsher, and made extremely unwelcome moves toward the Cao envoy in front of him.
Yang Wanwan naturally knows why.
But...
In order to increase the importance of the weight in his hand and to control the initiative, he did not want to explain.
There is no problem at all.
After all, it was Cao and Liu who came to win over his tribe.
Naturally, there is the capital to raise the price from the ground up.
"Oh, don't you know me sir?"
Hearing this, Yang Wanwan seemed to be stunned for a while, and then he pretended to be surprised and asked.
"Why did the prince say this?"
"This gentleman is also a Han Chinese, and comes from the same family as you, sir."
"I thought you were waiting to meet each other."
Gu Ke
Just one word.
Seeing Yang Wanwan's response at this moment.
How could the Han envoy and the Cao envoy fail to respond to his intentions?
It's nothing more than trying to stir up a dispute between the two of them.
To peek from the side.
"We don't know each other!"
However, it was obvious that both of them were smart people and were not so willing to fall for the trap. They responded in unison, raising their hands and looking at Yang Wanwan.
I saw that my plan was not as successful as I imagined.
Yang Wanwan seemed to be showing a slight smile, which seemed to be an awkward yet polite smile.
And as time goes by.
Although there was no personal grudge between the two envoys, they still argued fiercely because of their different lineups.
To be continued...
