"Sister, when will you change your temper? We are in the enemy camp now. Don't accidentally reveal your secret. I am on top of the city, so many people are watching, and your brother's siege troops are so dense. I
If you miss every time, don't the people next to you suspect it?"
"Oh, that's it." Ma Yunlu responded, with no doubt in his mind.
Guan Yinping suddenly felt guilty about what he said and didn't doubt it? Then there was no need to shoot him again and again, right? But why was he shot at that time?
Guan Yinping didn't know that he didn't like the Xiliang soldiers from the bottom of his heart. Although the Xiliang soldiers were powerful, they had no military discipline. In fact, there were many places in the western part of Yongzhou suitable for planting, but why were there not many people?
If you plant it, when the Xiliang soldiers come and the locusts cross the border, you will get nothing. Now the Xiliang warlords are divided, and the various armies hardly restrain the troops, let alone the crops that cannot be moved in the ground, just the cattle and sheep that are grazing.
, they are all taken correctly.
Guan Yinping has lived in the Yongliang area for more than a year and is very annoying. If Ma Teng and Liu Bei had not been on good terms, he would not want to associate with the Xiliang soldiers.
This feeling in his bones, coupled with the popular popularity of the Sichuan Army, made Guan Yinping unknowingly target the body of the Xiliang Army.
"Hey." Ma Yunlu's eyes suddenly lit up, and Guan Yinping's heart skipped a beat. She thought Ma Yunlu had discovered something, but Ma Yunlu opened her eyes wide and said, "Sister, Liu Zhang has made you a general, so I can also be a general."
General?"
"It's a commander, not a general." Guan Yinping explained, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, being best friends with a stupid woman saves you trouble.
"Didn't he say that you can become a centurion after you have achieved military exploits? After a few days of observation, I think the martial arts of the Sichuan generals are not very good. With the strength of our sisters, it is not a matter of time before we achieve military exploits? Well,
I don’t think the general has to run away. If I had known that it was so easy for the Sichuan Army to become a general, I would have come a long time ago." After Ma Yunlu finished speaking, he clapped his hands, his face full of excitement.
"Military merit?" Guan Yinping glanced at Ma Yunlu: "Have you forgotten that it's your brother outside the city? Do you want to beat your brother?"
"Oh." Ma Yunlu pouted in frustration and complained: "My brother is really not good at hitting anyone, but Liu Zhang."
…………
Liu Zhang returned to Guanzhong and said to Yang Ren who came up to him: "Have you found the fine work you were asked to look for?"
"Found it, found three of them, the general deliberately spread false information. Sure enough, someone wanted to go down from the dangerous mountain near Yangping Pass, but we caught him on the spot." Yang Ren said loudly.
"Well done, where are you?"
"Two committed suicide on the spot, and one committed suicide while we were interrogating him by tricking us into untying him."
Liu Zhang stared at Yang Ren angrily. Yang Ren lowered his head guiltily and raised his eyelids to look at Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang took a breath and waved helplessly: "Okay, get down, get down."
Yang Ren resigned, and Fazheng said to Liu Zhang: "Master, there is no careful preparation, and the identities of the two women cannot be determined. I'm afraid we have to think of other ways."
Liu Zhang sighed and cursed: "Xiaozhi, do you think I am getting older? It's really a bad year, so this battle happened inexplicably. Ma Teng didn't fight well in Xiliang, but came to fight with us.
Now it seems that the Qiang in Tsing Yi might be able to win over them, but they can’t find anyone to pull the strings. Seeing that the two women might be members of the Xiliang Army, but they can’t find anyone to test them... No way." Liu Zhang said with a solemn expression: "Since the Xiliang Army
Liang Jun's meticulous work is not afraid of death, so there is no need for them, and I don't believe that I can't find out anything."
"Lord." Fazheng suddenly frowned and said: "The injured woman is not a Han. In addition to the Han, this generation is Qiang Di. Could this woman be a Qiang Di? Judging from her words and deeds, she is not an ordinary person. Among the Qiang people
Generous women are rare among people. If they are really Qiang Di people, they must be Qiang Di nobles, and they may be used to persuade Qiang Qiang people."
"Yes." Liu Zhang thought about it and realized that it was indeed very possible. Judging from the appearance, the woman was indeed different from ordinary Han women. Not only could she speak foreign languages, but she could also speak Chinese. She was just pretending not to speak. These were all
It is enough to show that his identity is not simple.
She speaks Chinese, her words and deeds are quite decent, she is most likely a Qiang and Di aristocratic woman, in this case, the Qiang in Tsing Yi may be convinced.
In the next two days, the Xiliang army once again launched a fierce attack on Yangpingguan. They still suppressed it with mounted fire and arrows raining like springs. The Sichuan army had the experience of resisting the rain of arrows yesterday. The shields were held up diagonally, and the damage of the arrow rain was limited.
And when the Xiliang Army gallops and rides and shoots, they no longer shoot in all directions, but focus on several nodes of the Xiliang Army's circular riding and shooting route. Whenever the Xiliang Army rides over a node, they will be turned upside down, and the circular riding and shooting formation will be disrupted, and the power will be greatly reduced.
Great reduction.
In the subsequent siege, because the Sichuan army added many archers, almost everyone in the echelon of soldiers defending the city held a bow. The arrow rain was much denser than that of the Xiliang army. With the addition of more powerful crossbows and in-situ shooting, it was more accurate than the Xiliang army.
Quite a few, the Xiliang army suffered heavy casualties and continued to attack for three days.
On the ninth day, Ma Chao led his army back to the main camp. Seeing that the siege of the city was blocked, he became irritated. He threw his silver spear to his soldiers, slapped his sword on the ground, and said angrily to the generals: "How can this be unreasonable? I have 80,000 troops from Xiliang."
The army is all brave and brave, but the little Yangping Pass has been unable to move for days, just because there are some among you who shrink from fighting, have selfish intentions, and are hateful."
Ma Chao glared at the generals, who looked at each other in confusion. Pang De stepped out and said: "Young General, we are all fighting to the death and we don't dare to slack off at all."
"That's right, brother, Ma Tie was hit by arrows three times, and yet he personally led his troops to kill him. It's really a sign that the Sichuan army was well deployed. Liu Zhang personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and he resisted tenaciously."
"Yes, yes." Xianling Qiang and other Qiang leaders also agreed.
"I'm not talking about you. General Pang, Ma Dai, and the Qiang leaders are all heroes, but..."
Ma Chao stepped down the steps and walked to the middle of the queue of generals. He looked at a Qiang general with a round face and no beard, and said coldly: "That's a lot. Don't you have nothing to say to me?"
Na Ke was wearing a dog-skin felt hat. Facing Ma Chao's questioning, his body trembled slightly. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Ma Chao's cold eyes. He lowered his head and was unable to say a word.
Ma Chao grabbed Na Keduo by the collar, stared into his panic eyes and said: "Na Keduo. You have more than 8,000 Tsing Yi Qiang people, a huge siege echelon, and a group of mainly Tsing Yi Qiang people.
Mixed siege echelon, such a huge combat power, what have you done?"
Ma Chao came closer to Na Keduo. Na Keduo could feel Ma Chao's breathing rhythm and his heart was pounding. He heard Ma Chao say in a cold tone: "Don't think that I can't tell. You Qingyi Qiang shot all the arrows."
Where have you been? When you attacked the city, were you just trying to block the arrows, or were you really attacking the city?"
Ma Chao put down Na Keduo and straightened his collar: "Listen here, we will attack the city tomorrow, and you Qiang Qiang will be the vanguard. If it continues like the past few days..." Ma Chao patted Na Keduo's plump face.
Said: "Don't forget, who helped you get to the position of leader? He can help you get up, but he can also pull you down."
Na Keduo's eyes suddenly opened.
After finishing speaking, Ma Chao strode towards the throne. As he walked, he said loudly: "It is because of the cowards of Qingyi Qiang that the attack on the city was unsuccessful. If you are still like this in the next war, I, Ma Chao, will not raise waste under my command."
"Hahaha." Several other Qiang leaders laughed, with the leader Lingqiang laughing the loudest.
These Qiang leaders were all attached to Ma Teng, and the other Qiang leaders were expressionless on both sides, while those who had been attached to Han Sui like the Qingyi Qiang had gloomy expressions and said nothing.
Na Keduo was the only one here who participated in the battle as the leader of the whole clan. It can be said that he had a higher status than the other Qiang leaders present. Amid the laughter of everyone, Na Keduo's sweat slid down the edge of his dog-skin hat, and Ma Chao's strong pressure
Go, the muscles all over the body are stiff, as if the body has lost consciousness.
Ma Chao is the mighty general of Xiliang. The Qiang people are all afraid of him, and Na Keduo is even more afraid. He was killed when the leader of the Qingyi Qiang was killed, the Qingyi Qiang tribe was captured by the Xianling Qiang, and the first warrior Xi Fengchi was expelled.
He got the position by luck. Under normal circumstances, this leadership position would never be his turn.
All that much comes from Ma Clan and Xianling Qiang.
Ma Chao dismissed the generals, holding his forehead with his fist and meditating. Ma Dai stepped forward and said: "Brother, don't worry, our siege equipment has been completed. With the siege equipment, we will be able to capture Yangping Pass."
Ma Chao waved his hand: "I'm not worried about this, Yangping Pass, I will take it, but now looking at the attitude of the Qingyi Qiang and other Qiang people who are dependent on Han Sui, and Han Sui did not send troops this time, I am worried about Xiliang.
At first, Zhuge Liang urged us to help the Qiang people to avenge Liu Zhang on the pretext of winning over the Qiang people. To this day, I still find it inexplicable. The Tsing Yi Qiang themselves are not in a hurry, so why are we in a hurry? The Tsing Yi Qiang are not in a hurry, but instead fight with the Qiang first.
He is high-spirited and considers himself the leader of the Qiang people.
There is also Han Sui. He obviously sent people to ambush Wu Ban, but now we are here to attack the Sichuan army, but he has not sent out any troops. There must be something hidden in this."
Ma Dai said: "Brother, isn't this bad? The Qingyi Qiang have always been attached to Han Sui and have been against us many times. However, the Xianling Qiang is our ally. The Xianling Qiang became the leader of the thirteen tribes of the Qiang people. The power of our Ma family,
But we can be on par with Han Sui."
Ma Dai said: "Brother, are you worried that our army is out and Han Sui is causing trouble in Xiliang?"
"He dares." Ma Chao said loudly: "We don't want the Qiang people. I, Ma Chao, don't take Han Sui seriously either. I just don't understand why my father listened to Zhuge Liang and helped the Qingyi Qiang to avenge themselves and stand up for Han Sui.
On the contrary, the Qiang Han in Qingyi retreated and made me angry to death."
This time Ma Teng sent Ma Chao south, not to capture Shu. Ma Teng was not that ambitious. At most, he wanted to capture Hanzhong. His main purpose was to avenge the Qing Yi Qiang and win over the Qing Yi Qiang and various Qiang forces. In this way, Ma Teng
He can become the largest warlord in Xiliang.
At this time Pang De said: "No matter what, let's capture Yangping Pass first, and then we can't stop now."
"That's natural." Ma Chao said solemnly: "If I withdraw my troops now, Liu Zhang won't laugh me out of his wits. I, Ma Chao, will destroy whatever my spear points at me, even if I don't want to get it."
At this moment, a Xiliang soldier trotted in from outside and bowed to Ma Chao in a dusty manner: "Young General, this is a serious matter."
When Ma Chao saw that he was actually a soldier beside Ma Teng, he immediately frowned and said coldly: "Is that old dog Han Sui really causing trouble?"
"No, Major General." Xiliang soldiers said, "Han Sui didn't cause trouble. The lady is missing."
"Yunlu?"
Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Ma Tiema Xiu all looked at the soldier. The soldier swallowed and nodded dryly: "Not only the young lady, but also the third young lady of the Guan family are missing. So the lord is very anxious. We are already in the Tianshui area.
I searched but found nothing. Later I received news that the two young ladies were seen arriving at Yangping Pass. My lord thought that the young ladies came to the Major General's camp to go to the battlefield."
"We didn't see our sister at all," Ma Tie said, and Matthew nodded.
Ma Chao was worried for a moment and hit the desk with a hammer: "Damn girl, why are you so careless?" He gritted his teeth with hatred. After a while, he said to Ma Xiu: "Ma Xiu, take some people and search Yangping Pass.
We must find that dead girl and Miss Guan around here."
"But this is a war..."
"I don't lack your talent."
"Yes." Ma Xiu promised loudly. Ma Dai frowned and glanced in the direction of Yangpingguan. Ma Yunlu was the darling of Ma Teng and several Ma brothers. He only hoped that Ma Yunlu would not be captured by the Sichuan army, otherwise
.With Liu Zhang's cruelty to the enemy, Ma Dai really didn't dare to think about it.
…
In the Tsing Yi Qiang camp, Na Ke Duo walked into the camp with an angry look on his face. All the Tsing Yi Qiang soldiers and leaders looked at him, their faces numb. Na Ke Duo became even more angry when he saw the expressions of his tribesmen, and shouted loudly: "
What are you looking at? All the leaders gather together for me (Qiang language, the same below)."
The Qiang soldiers were doing their own things. The big and small leaders slowly walked up to Na Keduo. Na Keduo clenched his fists, his face was bruised, and kicked a leader on the back of his knee.
"Have you not eaten? Are you still my Qingyi Qiang warrior? Anyone who slows down to me again will be punished by having his hair cut off." Na Keduo shouted loudly.
Hair-plucking punishment is a punishment of the Qiang people, second only to tongue-cutting and intestinal ulceration. But it is also extremely cruel, that is, the hair is pulled out in bunches, which is often painful. If you see a bald Qiang man somewhere, he has a bald head.
Many scars are from people who have suffered this kind of capital punishment.
The big and small leaders began to speed up and stood in front of Na Keduo.
Na Ke looked at the listless Tsing Yi Qiang leaders and became very angry and said loudly: "Are you going to embarrass my Tsing Yi Qiang ancestors? Do you know that you have ruined the reputation of our Tsing Yi Qiang heroes?"
?Now he is ridiculed by Xian Lingqiang and General Shenwei as a coward and a waste.
You are still in such a state of despair, can you have any backbone? You are the sons of an eagle and a wolf. Have you ever seen an eagle perched in a sparrow's nest and a wolf with its tail between its legs? You are now a sparrow or a roe deer.
Worse than a wild dog.”
Na Keduo looked around at the leaders with anger in his eyes.
However, all the leaders, big and small, were obviously not convinced by Na Keduo's statement.
"Chief." A Qiang leader raised his head and said: "There are so many leaders. It's not that we don't want to fight, it's that we don't know why we are fighting? This time it's our old enemy Xianling Qiang who bosses around and completely orders us around.
What?"
"That's right, that's right." All the leaders agreed one after another. They didn't want to be called useless. This was the biggest insult to the grassland warriors. But they were the largest warriors in the thirteen tribes of the Western Qiang. Why should they obey the orders of the Xianling Qiang like slaves?
?
"Fart." Nakoda roared, spitting on the face of a leader in front of him, and said angrily: "Don't you know why we are fighting? Why did General Shenwei send troops to attack Sichuan this time? Isn't it to avenge our Qingyi Qiang leader? They
To avenge us, you are passive and afraid of fighting. Is this what a warrior should do?"
The leaders were silent, with expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces, but they did not dare to speak what was in their hearts.
Suddenly, a small leader couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly: "Our leader was killed by people from Lingqiang first."
When one person yelled, everyone else was shocked, but they didn't dare to agree, and they all looked at the person who yelled.
"What did you say?" Na Keduo stepped out, separated the crowd, walked up to the man, pulled out the little leader, pulled his collar and said: "Xiao Handang, do you know what to say?
How big a sin would it be to undermine the unity of the Qiang people?
Are you talking nonsense if you have any evidence? If it reaches the ears of Xian Ling Qiang, and they think we are dissatisfied with General Shenwei, are you going to harm the entire Qing Yi Qiang?"
"I'm not talking nonsense." The little leader said resolutely: "If it wasn't someone from Xian Ling Qiang who did it, why did Xian Ling Qiang come over to kill us before the news of our leader's death reached Dazhai?
If it wasn't the Xianling Qiang who did it, General Han Sui has always been an ally with our Qingyi Qiang, why didn't he send troops this time?
If it wasn't Xian Ling Qiang who did it, why did brother Xi Fengchi go to Baima Qiang and vow to fight against Xian Ling Qiang together with the leader of Baima Qiang?
Everyone knows that the Xianling Qiang did it. The Xianling Qiang wanted to use this attack to attack the Sichuan Army, take away the ruling power of the Thirteen Qiang tribes from our Qingyi Qiang, attach themselves to the Ma family, and ask us to serve for them.
Don't even think about risking your life." The little leader's face was full of indignation.
"I've betrayed you." Na Keduo was so angry that he grabbed the little leader's collar and threw it on the steps. The little leader's back hit the sharp edge of the steps hard, and he was suffocated and his expression was distorted.
Na Ke Duo said loudly: "What do you, a leader of a small tribe, know? The first Ling Qiang entered my Qing Yi Qiang. Why don't I hate Na Ke Duo? But that was just a general killing in the grassland. It just happened to catch up with the death of the old leader. The grassland is not
It's just the jungle of the jungle. If we become stronger in the future, we can still take revenge.
Han Sui did not send troops because he was afraid of offending Liu Zhang. Originally, the war was caused by his ambush and killing of Wu Ban, the prefect of the Sichuan Army. However, he did not send troops. Dozens of warlords of all sizes in Liangzhou and I, the Qiang Thirteen
You are so disdainful, how dare you mention him?
Xifengchi coveted the position of leader, but failed to live up to expectations, fled to Baima Qiang, and colluded with Baima Qiang. He was a traitor to our Tsing Yi Qiang. Such a person with a red eye for power would not care about the future and destiny of the Tsing Yi Qiang.
You are so indifferent to right from wrong, you don't know right from wrong, you can't even tell the difference between my Qingyi Qiang's enemies, and you even disrespect General Shenwei with your words, what's your intention?"
Na Ke finished speaking in one breath, glared at the little leader, and said loudly: "Come here, this person has insulted my name as a Qiang warrior in blue clothes. I will punish him by having his tongue pulled out, and all his troops will be collected."
