"Thank you for your concern, my lord. Binghuo! Chinese..." Wang Xu smiled and said: "I know how long my body can last. What's more, now that the lord has Fa Zheng by his side and Huang Yueying in Jingzhou, how can I, Wang Xu, serve during the internal affairs period?
, Xiqiang is the only place left for subordinates to display their ambitions.
His subordinates have lived in Xiliang all year round and are used to seeing Hu people. In recent years, with the decline of the Han Dynasty, the Hu people have become more powerful. Wang Xu feels that these Hu people are likely to become a hidden worry for the Han court in the future, and he also hopes that in his lifetime
If you can do something for the Han court, Xiqiang is exactly where Wang Xu wants to stay."
"I was born in the bitter cold, lived in the bitter cold, and my life was also bitter. Thank you for your hard work." Liu Zhang stood up and bowed sincerely to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu stood up in a hurry, coughed twice and said: "My lord also understands that if Wang Xu is allowed to die in a peaceful place like Chengdu, it will make Wang Xu regretful. The bitter cold is exactly Wang Xu's destination."
Late at night, Liu Zhang walked through the snow to the girl's room in the Western Region and asked the barbarians about the girl's poisoning. The barbarians said that the girl was very lucky and survived the strange poison. But even so, the poison of the centipede was too strong, and she still survived.
It should be noted that the conditions in Xiqiang are harsh and danger may occur at any time.
Liu Zhang frowned and walked into the girl's room in Xiyu. Xiyu looked pale and was sleeping deeply. Liu Zhang sat on the bedside for a while. The girl woke up faintly and said weakly: "You're here."
Liu Zhang nodded: "Why did you do that today? Do you want your life?"
The girl smiled lightly and said, "Didn't I tell you?"
"I won't believe it."
"Whatever you want."
Liu Zhang looked at the girl's delicate face for a long time, with her black hair floating across her forehead, and there was a kind of quiet beauty. If you just look at her at this moment, she is really an innocent girl, just like... just like in Yangping
It was the same as when I saw her for the first time.
Liu Zhang recalled that night in the Diren Valley. He didn't want to believe a word of the girl. But later, the girl's flute music kept Liu Zhang unable to sleep. Listening to the flute music, it was like seeing the girl sitting in the snow, looking up at the night sky.
melancholy face.
"What's your name?" Liu Zhang asked.
"Quirrell," the girl answered.
"Want to go back to Yarkand?"
"Yes." The girl nodded slightly.
"Then I'll let you go back."
"Really?"
"Fake."
The girl rolled her eyes at Liu Zhang and said, "Fortunately, I don't have much hope. I know you will take me as a hostage, but it doesn't matter whether I am a hostage or not. As long as I stay with you, what difference does it make?"
Liu Zhang rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath. He said to the girl: "I don't understand. You have that highly venomous snake on your body. How can you still be poisoned?"
"You have a sword on you, so you won't be stabbed by the sword?"
"Then why don't you use it to help you escape?"
"Can a poisonous snake escape? If it kills someone, my life here will be even more difficult. What's more, you are very good to me. You helped me treat my injuries when I was in Yangping Pass. You have always taken care of me since then, and you have not let me go."
Be wronged."
As the girl spoke, her face suddenly burst into tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "But. I don't want to die. I really don't want to. I finally met the person I like, and then I die like this. I'm so unwilling."
"The doctor said that as long as you take good care of yourself, you won't die."
"No." The girl said anxiously: "I know this kind of poison. It may be curable on the surface, but the poison cannot be eradicated. The poison may occur at any time. There is only one kind of lark that can completely eradicate the poison."
"Really or not?"
"If you don't believe me, ask those barbarian doctors."
"Where is this thing?"
"It's found in the Western Regions." The girl looked at Liu Zhang with an unkind look and added, "It's also found in the Qiang region."
"Okay, I'll ask the soldiers to dig when I get back." Liu Zhang said and was about to stand up, but the girl suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute." She grabbed Liu Zhang's hand with her cold little hand, sat up, looked at Liu Zhang and said:
"You are so kind to me."
Then, the girl kissed Liu Zhang on the forehead with lightning speed, fell back on the bed, pulled up the quilt and covered his head inside, leaving Liu Zhang alone looking at the floral quilt in a daze, with the girl's cherry blossoms remaining on his forehead.
Lips are cold.
Liu Zhang shook his head violently and walked out. Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther, the girl opened a small crack in the quilt. In the darkness, the girl had a small face with a sweet and evil smile, and stretched out her white hands.
, a small black snake crawled around on it.
…………
Liu Zhang joined forces with the Tsing Yi Qiang, and an army of 50,000 met the Xianling Qiang cavalry who had returned from Tianshui. Wang Shuang, Xifengchi and other cavalry generals all came out. The Xianling Qiang cavalry who returned tiredly and returned to the division were defeated in one fell swoop.
The Qiang cavalry surrendered to the Sichuan army.
Hu Che'er, Pang Rou and the barbarian army were left behind to guard the grassland. The army did not stop and rushed towards Tianshui, preparing to join forces with the Hanzhong Sichuan army that was chasing north.
The 200,000 Xiliang allied forces at Tielong Pass were defeated. Zhu Ling's entire army was destroyed.
Chencang held a Sichuan Army Qiang people's alliance oath meeting.
The Xiqiang grassland was completely under the control of the Sichuan Army and the Qingyi Qiang. Fazheng ordered all soldiers and horses, including the Qiang people, to stop pursuing. The Qiang tribe cavalry had to take orders. Except for the Qingyi Qiang, Baima Qiang, and Xianling Qiang,
Ten tribes of Western Qiang gathered in Chencang.
Fazheng led Yang Ren, Gaopei, Huang Zhong and other generals to the throne. He glanced coldly at the Qiang leaders in the audience. The leaders lowered their heads. Fazheng said loudly: "In the beginning, during the battle of Yangpingguan, you people here,
You keep promising that you will be friendly to the Sichuan Army after returning to the Xiqiang Grassland, but what have you done?
The Qiang people have always had clear grievances, but from this incident, I only see two sides of you. When Han Sui, Ma Tengju, and his army arrive, do you think you can take advantage of our Sichuan army? You are afraid of Ma Teng and Han Sui, right?
Are we fearless? Do you think that an alliance of forty-seven ragtag groups can defeat our Sichuan army?"
"Number one in the world, invincible."
"Number one in the world, invincible."
The soldiers of the Sichuan Army raised their spears and shouted in unison. If at the Battle of Yangpingguan, they still hesitated to shout this sentence, now there is no obstacle to shouting out. The Xiliang Army of the Forty-seventh Route collapsed within a month, and the Sichuan Army
The loss is minimal, he is number one in the world, and he is well deserved.
Trampling the world-famous Xiliang Army under his feet.
From this moment on, the Sichuan Army will become fearless and reborn.
Fa Zheng pressed his hand, and the three armies were silent. Fa Zheng looked at the leaders of the Qiang people coldly and said sternly: "Qiang people, after Sanmiao, although they avoid Yanhuang, they are also warriors who inherit the tradition and stand upright.
Our Sichuan army has never done anything to harm the Qiang people, but the Xiliang warlords have repeatedly bullied the Qiang people and oppressed them. However, you have abandoned the teachings of your ancestors, betrayed your faith, blatantly tore up the alliance, followed the Xiliang warlords who oppressed you, and invaded
In our Sichuan-Shu Fortress, are you worthy of your ancestors? Are you still worthy of being called a descendant of Sanmiao?"
Facing Fazheng's gaze, none of the Qiang leaders dared to say anything. The Qiang people's worship beliefs mainly focus on nature and ancestors. Ancestors account for a large part. To insult the ancestors is to insult their souls.
However, now they can't come up with any reason to refute it. For thousands of years, the Qiang and Di have been living in the cracks, and it has become a tradition to choose a strong force to rely on.
The covenant is just to preserve the warriors, and breaking the covenant and following Xiliang is also to preserve the warriors and continue the tribe.
But now, after Fa Zhengyi's explanation, the faith they have always been proud of, and the integrity of the Qiang people they have always been proud of, have long since disappeared in the struggle to survive.
"I am asking you now, and only for the last time, whether you are in alliance with the Sichuan Army." Fazheng looked around at the Qiang leaders in the audience with cold eyes.
"We are all willing to form an alliance with the Lord of Shu and never rebel forever." A Qiang leader shouted.
"I will never rebel." The rest of the Qiang leaders shouted. Not only was their hometown in the hands of others, but it also seemed that after the defeat of the Xiliang army, there was a great chaos in Xiliang, and they were in ruins.
"How to prove it?" Fazheng asked.
Everyone lowered their heads, and the previous leader said: "We swear in the name of Baishi that we will never rebel against each other, otherwise our descendants will lose Baishi's blessing forever."
The leaders of the Qiang people looked at the leader. Baishi was the highest belief of the Qiang people. The oath sworn by the leader was considered the highest oath among the Qiang people. Generally, the Qiang people would not swear in the name of Baishi.
The leaders struggled for a moment, but think about it, after the Xiqiang cavalry betrayed the Xiliang army before the battle, it can be said to have broken with the Xiliang warlords. Now that Xiliang is declining and the Sichuan army is strong, if the Xiqiang want to stabilize, they can only rely on Liu Zhang.
There was no reason for rebellion, so swearing in Baishi's name meant nothing. They all nodded.
Fazheng looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "Although there was a betrayal, I still believe that the descendants of Sanmiao have not lost their blood. Since you swore in the name of Baishi, I will believe you.
The Xiliang army is running rampant and has become a Han rebel. For the sake of the Western Qiang grassland, our lord Liu Zhang will establish the Western Qiang Alliance in Xiqiang. The station will be located in the original Lingqiang grassland and changed to the East Qingyi grassland. The twelve Western Qiang tribes will be located there.
, all included in the covenant.
Each tribe, based on the total number of warriors, must select 20% of the men between the ages of 15 and 28 to join the alliance, which will be under the unified command of the leader of the Dongqingyi Alliance. From now on, 10% must be selected every year to jointly resist with the Sichuan army.
The Xiliang Army defends the Xiqiang grassland."
"Ah?" All the Western Qiang leaders looked at each other and whispered to each other.
"We have already sworn not to betray our alliance, so why do we need to mobilize our warriors?" shouted a Qiang leader.
"Since we have formed an alliance, are we just talking in vain?" Fazheng looked at the leader and said: "We are willing to believe your oath, but you should know that you have already violated your empty promise once. We are not going to pursue it, but you are.
Should not forget.
The East Qingyi grassland faces Xiliang. If the Xiliang army wants to invade the Xiqiang, it will be the first to bear the brunt. Since it is an alliance, it will be an alliance to defend against the enemy. All tribes of the Xiqiang must accompany them.
