Chapter 686 The Patriarch of Beiqiang Has Complaints
All five clan leaders stood up and asked Yan Xing in unison.
"Were all the Qiang warriors killed?"
All five people raised their eyebrows and looked at them with ferocious looks on their faces, which made Yan Xing tremble with fright.
"Heads of the clan, please calm down. I am indeed watching the Yizhou Army continue to massacre the Qiang people. No one who was captured was left alive!"
"Liu Zhang, the thief!"
Although being captured and killed are both losses, they have completely different meanings for each clan leader.
As long as he is not dead, there is still a chance to save him after all!
But it was all over when he died, proving that the tribe had completely lost a warrior.
Before, everyone thought that the loss was 100,000, at least nearly half of the prisoners.
No one, including Han Sui, expected this result!
"Everyone, I understand that these words are definitely not false!"
Han Sui's words immediately attracted the attention of the five clan leaders.
"Prince Han, you were the first to escape here. How can you be so sure that all our warriors have been killed?"
The life and death of tens of thousands of people are at stake, and no matter how stupid the Qiang people are, they know they cannot listen to one person's words.
However, Han Sui's attitude was so resolute that the Qiang clan chief had to find out why.
"Clan leaders, you might as well think about it, what would you do if you had 50,000 people and ended up capturing 100,000 prisoners?"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and Han Sui dashed all the hopes of the five Qiang clan chiefs with just one sentence.
Liu Zhang only had a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people. How could he leave 50,000 to 60,000 Qiang prisoners?
I'm afraid anyone will kill him to eliminate future troubles!
Han Sui glanced at the faces of the five clan leaders and knew in his heart that they agreed with this inference.
"I believe you already have the answer in your mind, but I still want to say a few words to you."
"Today Liu Zhang only has 50,000 or 60,000 people. Even if he had 50,000 or 600,000, he would definitely massacre the Qiang soldiers!"
"Because he wants to establish his authority! He wants to tell all the Qiang people in Liangzhou that those who oppose him will only end in death!"
All five clan leaders were silent, but Ma Chao looked at Han Sui in disbelief.
Could this Han Sui be crazy?
Speaking so bluntly, do the Qiang people still dare to be enemies with Liu Zhang?
Once the Qiang people become afraid and disperse, how many troops can the two of them gather together? Is there any way to survive other than being captured?
"uncle..."
Ma Chao couldn't help but remind Han Sui, but the latter interrupted him with his hand.
"Fellow clan leaders, as far as I know, Liu Zhang has a way of dealing with foreign races!"
"How powerful were the Nanzhong barbarians in the past? What about now? They have all become Liu Zhang's lackeys!"
"If we don't unite to fight Liu Zhang, the fate of the barbarians will serve as a lesson to you Qiang people!"
It is worthy of being called the Nine Bends of the Yellow River. In just a few words, all five clan leaders immediately fell into deep thought.
These five patriarchs govern hundreds of thousands of people, and they are like emperors within the clan!
These local emperors have long been accustomed to living a life of self-centeredness. How can they give up such supreme power?
Han Sui knew the hearts of these Qiang people very well, because he was not worried that the Qiang people would stop resisting out of fear.
On the contrary, Han Sui firmly believed that the greater the threat, the stronger the Qiang people's resistance would be.
"Everyone, I, Yueman, would like to express my stance on behalf of Shaodang Qiang!"
The other four clan leaders all looked at Yueman. It can be said that Yueman's attitude is extremely important to them.
"I, Shaodang Qiang, are at odds with the traitor Liu Zhang! I, Yueman, must seek revenge from him for killing my Qiang warriors!"
As soon as Yueman finished speaking, He Mi, the leader of the Hanqiang tribe, also stood up to support him.
"Me and Han Qiang are the same! Han Qiang and Shaodang Qiang advance and retreat together!"
"Liu Zhang slaughtered the Qiang warriors, which means he is sworn in with the Qiang people! He wants to occupy Yongliang? Huh! I, He Mi, was the first one not to agree!"
Two of the five chiefs of the Qiang tribe have made it clear that they will fight Liu Zhang to the end. This is undoubtedly great news for Han Sui.
Although Shaodang Qiang and Han Qiang are recognized as having good relations with Han Sui, this does not affect the significance of this.
Not long after, Ma Chao, who had been instructed by Tu Dan, also stepped forward.
"Everyone, I, Ma Chao, express my attitude to you on behalf of Yongzhou Governor's Office and Xianling Qiang!"
"Our will to annihilate the Yizhou Army and annihilate Liu Zhang is as strong as a rock!"
Three out of five people supported it, and if it was a democratic system, it would have been passed.
Now only Gongtang Qiang and Beiqiang are left.
The Gongtang Qiang and the Xianling Qiang have a close relationship, and the two tribes often fight together. Just when everyone thought that the leader of the Gongtang Qiang clan, Dian Wu, would support Ma Chao without hesitation, Dian Wu turned out to be surprisingly silent.
"Dian Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Tu Dan, the head of the Xianling Qiang tribe, frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Dian Wu.
In the past, Shaodang Qiang and Han Qiang advanced and retreated together, but now Gongtang Qiang does not support Xianling Qiang, which is ridiculous!
Dian Bu sighed softly, with a hint of worry between his brows.
"The life or death of the head of the Zhou family is uncertain. I'm worried that he will be captured by Liu Zhang."
If it wasn't for Yunnan, don't mention it. Everyone would have forgotten that the Wuwei Zhou family also supported an army of 10,000 people.
However, after this escape, it is unknown how many soldiers under Zhou's command will be left.
"Dian Wu, as the leader of the Gongtang Qiang clan, do you still have to look at Zhou Ping's face for everything?"
Yue Man's questioning made Dian Wu embarrassed, but this was indeed the case.
Gong Tangqiang's dependence on the Zhou family was so great that it could even be traced back a hundred years ago.
Without the help of the Zhou family, how could the Gongtang Qiang become one of the five major tribes?
"Mr. Zhou has shown great kindness to us, Gong Tang Qiang, and I cannot help but care about his life and death!"
"Dian Wu, you are too naive! Once we are defeated, can the Zhou family save you Gong Tangqiang?"
"Let me tell you, if you want Gong Tangqiang to exist, the only way out is to eliminate Liu Zhang!"
After Yue Man's roar, Dian Wu finally came to his senses.
"I know! We, Gong Tang Qiang, will fight to the end with the Yizhou Army!"
After receiving Dian Bu's clear attitude, only the Beiqiang remained among the five Qiang tribes.
The leader of the Beiqiang clan, Dai Si, faced everyone's gaze calmly, but remained silent.
Neither support nor opposition is expressed.
"Dai Si, what do you mean?"
Yue Man has a bad temper. What he hates most is hesitation and silence, so he always asks questions.
Dai Si and Yue Man looked at each other for a while, completely unafraid of the other's threats, but they never said a word.
Just when Yue Man couldn't help but was about to explode, Han Sui walked in front of Yue Man and blocked him behind him.
"Chief Dai, I understand what you are worried about. But I guarantee you with my personality that the Beiqiang will always be one of the five major tribes!"
Han Sui looked at Dai Si sincerely, and his worries about him were clear in his heart.
Daiyi was simply worried that after defeating Liu Zhang, the Beiqiang would suffer excessive losses and be threatened with a decline in status.
Whether it is the Xianling Qiang and the Gongtang Qiang or the Shaodang Qiang and the Han Qiang, they all have an alliance with each other. If one party's strength is damaged, the other tribe will protect them.
The Bei Qiang are an independent tribe that is completely different from the other four Qiang people.
If the Bei Qiang loses too much when fighting Liu Zhang, there is even a risk of being divided by other Qiang people.
"Can Governor Han keep his word?"
Hearing Dai Si's question, Han Sui felt relieved.
Since the other party asked, it already means that he has made a decision in his heart.
"Don't worry, leader of the clan, I, Han Sui, swear by my character!"
Something as ethereal and insubstantial as an oath is even more valued among the Qiang people.
Although Han Sui only said a few words, he made Dai Si feel relieved.
"Since we have received the guarantee from Governor Han, Beiqiang is willing to obey the orders!"
"Very good!"
Han Sui couldn't help but cheer, and the previous dejection of defeat was gone.
Regaining the support of the five Qiang tribes immediately restored Han Sui's confidence and gave him the confidence to fight Liu Zhang to the death.
"Everyone, I, Han Sui, would like to greet you all..."
Rumble...
Just when Han Sui was about to declare his determination to the Qiang clan chiefs, a huge roar suddenly came from the distance.
"hiss..."
Feeling the trembling of the ground under his feet, Han Sui took a deep breath.
This movement was so familiar to him!
Just a moment later, a roar spread throughout the Qiang-Han coalition.
