In addition to fear, the eyes of the women and children were full of confusion. They looked at Qu Yi curiously as he passed by and said nothing.
Halfway through, a Qiang girl suddenly said: "Uncle Quyi!"
Before he finished speaking, the old woman on the side covered his mouth.
Qu Yi paused for a moment, took a deep look here, and then continued walking towards the deepest point.
If you want the Qiang people to surrender, you must convince the leader of the Qiang people.
The reason why Zhao Feng spared the lives of the Qiang leaders and did not directly take back these women and children by force was because of his influence.
As long as he surrenders, all the Qiang people in Ma Teng's hands will be able to switch sides. Not to mention too many, there are still at least 20,000 people.
You can get 20,000 soldiers by persuading one person, which is a super cost-effective deal.
In the end, these Qiang women and children will completely become Han psychologically due to subtle management, without any worry that they will rebel.
On the contrary, because of their forgiveness this time, I felt even more grateful to Zhao Feng in the end.
After a while, Qu Yi came to the deepest part. There was a special cell here, which was not as crowded as other places. It also held the only two men among the Qiang people.
One is King Midang, the leader of the Qiang people, and the other is his general Erhe Shaoge.
Qu Yi looked at the old acquaintance inside and smiled, making a Qiang etiquette.
"Qu Yi has met the king."
At this time, King Midang and Oho Shaoge, who were sitting in the cell, raised their heads and showed a hint of joy.
"Qu Yi, why are you here?"
After he finished speaking, the curvature of the corners of his mouth disappeared. It was really shameful to meet an old friend in a foreign land, but to meet him in this way.
If the soldiers and horses in his hands had not been given to Ma Teng, he would not have been defenseless.
Qu Yi waved his hand and said: "Open the cell door, I want to have a good chat with King Midang."
The jailer who was following behind him stepped forward and opened the cell door. Qu Yi walked in carrying several jars of wine and said with a smile: "The king once said that your strong wine is unparalleled by any wine in the world. Today I'm here to taste the strong wine of us Han people."
liquor."
How could the current King Midang and Erhe Shaoge not understand that Qu Yi was now working for Cao Wei?
King Midang had already become a prisoner at this time, but he became more cheerful. He took the wine jar handed over by Qu Yi and said: "How strong can the wine of you Han people be?"
Then he casually opened the wine jar, and the mellow aroma of wine instantly filled the air. This made the Qiang people who were accustomed to strong liquor and never cared about the aroma of wine couldn't help but take a sniff.
King Midang's eyes brightened instantly, and he praised: "What a great wine!"
The wine jar was not big, so he couldn't wait to take a sip.
After just a moment, his face turned red, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Not only is this wine extremely mellow, it is also so strong!"
Now it is simply the wine they dream of.
Seeing this, Oho Shaoge on the side couldn't wait to take action.
Qu Yi, on the other hand, opened the wine jar unhurriedly, took a sip and said: "This time I begged a lot for my lord to save your tribe."
King Midang showed a serious expression.
If not, why would Cao Jun treat these prisoners so well, and even the food they need would be the same as those of Cao Jun soldiers.
You must know that the Han people have always been at odds with foreigners. How could it be possible for them to be like this when they are in the same boat?
King Midang looked at Ohe Shaoge who was standing beside him, and quickly stood up and said, "Thank you so much for this time, Qu Yi."
However, Qu Yi waved his hands indifferently and said: "There is no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, you should thank my lord."
He looked at the two of them and said, "I won't beat around the bush anymore. You must be able to understand that my lord has paid such a high price this time, right?"
"My lord promised that as long as the Qiang people surrender, my lord is willing to give up a county of land for the Qiang people to live there."
As soon as these words came out, King Mi Dang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that King Wei actually wanted to recruit the Qiang people.
This is something unprecedented, although there are no longer any males among the Qiang people today.
However, it is acceptable for the king to be a fan.
He looked at his people and sighed, even if it wasn't for himself, he still had to think about his people.
After a moment of silence, he finally said: "I am willing to surrender and respect King Wei as my master."
After saying this, he and Ohe Shaoge beside him knelt on the ground.
Seeing the two surrendering so easily, Qu Yi didn't worry about whether there was fraud, so he smiled and helped the two up and said: "In that case, you two can follow me to see the lord."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
After a while, Qu Yi led King Madang and his general Ohe Shaoge to the headquarters.
Looking at Zhao Feng at the top, Erhe Shaoge and King Midang knelt on the ground.
"I've met King Wei."
Zhao Feng smiled and looked at Qu Yi beside him. He did not expect that Qu Yi could recover the Qiang people so quickly.
As for King Midang and Erhe Shaoge, he would not put them together with the Qiang people. They were useful tools for training Qiang fighting skills.
"Please get up, you two. I wonder what you two are thinking about?"
King Midang nodded and said, "I am willing to surrender, and the Qiang people will recognize King Wei as their master for generations to come!"
Zhao Feng smiled. Today's Sizhou happens to still lack some people.
So he waved his hand and said: "Release 40,000 Qiang women and children to Hongnong County."
Now in the Chang'an Administrative Office, both civil and military officials are present, and everyone is looking at the person at the top with high spirits, who is the current King of Wei, Zhao Feng.
Scenes like this are very rare in Chang'an. One can imagine how important what is to be announced next is.
And such a thing has long been known among everyone, and it is precisely because of this that they show a confident look.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Feng calmly sat on the high position and said: "Now that the leader of the Qiang tribe has surrendered, it is time for a battle with the Xiliang army."
Having said this, the eyes of everyone below all showed a fighting spirit, and they all felt their blood boiling.
Zhao Feng waved his hand, looked at a man wearing strange clothes and said: "King Mi Dang, since you have surrendered to me, then show up and take back your people from Ma Teng."
King Midang immediately came out and bowed and said: "I obey the order of King Wei."
Zhao Feng nodded and looked at the row of generals.
Just because of their gaze, the generals seemed to be vying for the first place.
Then he said: "Yide, Zhongkang, you two will be the vanguard, Yun Chang and Wen Yuan will be the generals on the left and right wings, and Zilong will be the generals in the center!"
"In addition, you can choose how many lieutenants you want."
Following Zhao Feng's series of arrangements, all the generals whose names were read came out and shouted in unison: "The last general takes command!"
Zhao Feng nodded slightly, and then said again: "Qu Yi, you are a surprise soldier in this battle. You will lead 700 dead soldiers to lurk in the army. Wait until the Xiliang cavalry appears, and then you will fight out."
Hearing this, Qu Yi took a step forward and said, "The last general will take your orders."
