Liu Zhang stepped onto the steps, turned around, drew his sword and pierced the sky, shouting to the leaders of the Qiang people: "The Qiang people will not rebel against the Han people. I, Liu Zhang, am the Qiang people's eternal friend. May the great God of White Stone bless us."
, the people of the Western Qiang continue to prosper from generation to generation, and the friendship between the Qiang people and the Sichuan Army will last forever."
"Sichuan and Qiang Alliance, jointly protect the Western Qiang."
"Sichuan and Qiang alliance, together protect the Western Qiang." The Sichuan army cavalry shouted in unison, raising their guns.
Soon the Qiang people also joined in the roar, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooots on this.
Like Han Sui, he has established prestige in Xiqiang, and as the soft attack strategy deepens, this prestige will inevitably continue to grow.
After the alliance meeting ended, Liu Zhang returned to the wooden house, rubbing his cold and red hands, and said to Wang Xu: "Sir, I'm going back to Chengdu, so I'll leave it to you here, sir."
"Lord, don't worry. Xiliang is about to be in chaos now. There shouldn't be many wars among Xiqiang. I will focus on doing three things and attract other tribes of Qiang people from Xiqiang to join Dong Qingyi. The tribal system is not strict, and often tribal people
They will also choose to migrate to other tribes. As long as we pay attention to their containment, we will definitely be able to increase the population of Dong Tsing Yi.
The subordinates of the Qiang and Di people in the Xiliang area will also pay attention to absorbing them, and at the same time, they will control Dong Qingyi without losing the population. But my lord, Xiqiang is a bitter and cold land, and I am afraid that there will not be enough food every year, and Shuzhong will have to allocate it."
"I understand this. In order to conquer Xiliang in the future, I will not be reluctant to give up that little food."
At this time, a soldier came to report: "Report, Guanzhong battle report."
"speak."
"Liu Bei of Shicheng and Ma Chao of Xiliang joined forces and entered Guanzhong. They successively annexed several warlords who had suffered heavy losses in Hanzhong. Now their military strength reaches 30,000, and Guanzhong is in chaos."
"Liu Bei attacks Guanzhong?" Liu Zhang pondered.
Wang Xu said: "I saw and heard this when I was in Longxi. Liu Bei is used to winning the hearts of the people, and he has Zhang Zhao and other powerful generals under his command. My lord should not underestimate him."
"How dare I underestimate this big ear? I just regret that Jing Yi's foundation has been beaten to a pulp, otherwise I will send my army to Guanzhong now."
Liu Zhang said bitterly, but he just thought about it. If the Sichuan army arrived in Guanzhong, even a thousand people would cause Cao Cao a huge panic. You must know that Xu Changke is just outside Guanzhong, and Cao Cao will definitely devote his main force to deal with the war.
It went on and on.
"Go down." Liu Zhang waved to the soldiers.
The soldier did not go down and said again: "My lord, besides Liu Bei, there is another person appearing in Guanzhong."
"What character?"
"Wu Jun, the wanted criminal ordered by the lord himself. It is said that after our army suppressed the rebellion, many descendants of the living family went to follow Wu Jun. After Wu Jun's defeat in Jiangzhou, his strength did not decrease but increased, but he did not dare to move in Jingyi. This time in Guanzhong
The warlords all came to attack our Sichuan area. Wu Jun took advantage of the opportunity to attack Guanzhong, and also defeated several Guanzhong warlords and had nearly 20,000 troops."
"Wu Jun?" Liu Zhang pondered, thinking of Qu Lingchen. That time Qu Lingchen came to Chengdu to say goodbye to him, and he didn't know where he was now, how he was doing, or whether he was crazy like Wu Jun.
A small person like Wu Jun could cause such a big fight. Liu Zhang was silent for a while and said coldly: "Isn't he determined to avenge his fiancée Ma Xiaolian? Why did he escape to Guanzhong?"
"Wu Jun's banner is to annex Guanzhong and march south to Jingyi."
"That's not a small tone." Liu Zhang said disdainfully.
Wang Xu interjected: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not that simple. I feel that this Wu Jun is using the guise of revenge to unite people's hearts, gather our hostile forces, and achieve his personal great cause. The nature of this person has changed.
"
"Great cause, hahahaha." Liu Zhang laughed loudly: "Liu Bei has already gone to Guanzhong and Wu Jun to seize food from the tiger's mouth. If he can really defeat Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhao Guan, Zhang Chen and other brave generals, then I really want to thank him."
Wang Xu nodded, with Liu Bei here and Cao Cao not returning to his army, Guanzhong would not fall into the hands of another person.
…………
"Are you feeling better?" Liu Zhang sat on the stone steps, kneaded a snowball and played with it, looking at the girl from the Western Regions who was supported by two barbarian female soldiers and asked.
The girl from the Western Region let go of the two barbarian girls' support, tried to take a few steps in the snow, and said happily: "Okay, everything is okay, hahaha." The girl happily jumped up and down in the snow,
Two white velvet tails danced on the shoulders.
But suddenly, the girl covered her chest in pain, gritted her teeth and said, "It hurts a little."
The barbarian doctor told Liu Zhang: "This girl was poisoned by a strange poison. She is lucky to have survived. I am afraid that the remaining poison will remain in the girl's body forever."
"What's the impact?"
"It occurs from time to time, and it will be very painful when it occurs. And as the age increases, the pain will also increase, which will inevitably lead to a short life."
Liu Zhang frowned: "Didn't you say that lark grass can detoxify?"
"My lord, I don't know." The barbarian doctor said in embarrassment: "It is true that lark grass can detoxify, but lark grass is a kind of clover, and there are clovers all over the Qiang Mountains, with many types and similar shapes.
There are very few larks among clovers. They were originally distinguished by the color of their leaves. But now it is the middle of winter, covered with snow, and the grass and trees are withered and yellow in the snow. It is difficult to distinguish the color. And if you wait until spring and the snow melts, there will be no way.
The law is gone."
Liu Zhang glanced at the girl who was squatting in pain, and said to the doctor: "Then is there no other way?"
"Unless someone knows a withered lark."
…………
In the evening, he was about to go to war tomorrow. Liu Zhang had nothing to do and went to visit the girl. The girl was lying on the bed and smiled sweetly when she saw Liu Zhang's arrival.
"Does it still hurt?"
The girl shook her head.
"You said you like me?"
The girl was startled and looked at Liu Zhang, who had a serious expression on his face. The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said innocently: "Yes."
"I like you too. You can sleep with me tonight, and I will marry you when I return to Chengdu." Liu Zhang looked at the girl and at the same time grabbed her cold little hand and clearly felt her hand tremble.
No matter what, you will not suffer any loss if you marry a princess of Yarkand.
Liu Zhang opened the quilt in the girl's wide eyes, put his arms around the girl's round shoulders, lifted the girl's body up a little, and kissed the girl's lips. At the same time, his hands began to penetrate the girl's tall breasts bit by bit through the thin clothes.
Breasts, the girl looked at him with wide eyes.
Just when Liu Zhang's stroking hand was about to touch the raised obstacle, the girl said "ouch", a painful expression appeared on her face, and she suddenly covered her chest.
"Ouch, the poison has taken effect, it hurts, it hurts so much." The girl was sweating from the pain.
Liu Zhang let go of her and hurriedly called the doctor in. It took a while to calm down, but this time the poison seemed to be very severe. After the medicine restrained the poison, the girl was extremely weak.
Liu Zhang said: "It's not a problem if you continue like this. Do you know who knows the withered lark?"
"There are a lot of lark grass in our country of Yarkand. I know it even if it's burnt, let alone withered."
"Really? That's great." Liu Zhang said happily. The girl looked at Liu Zhang's happy expression and was startled. The smile on Liu Zhang's face was a bit unreal.
"You need to rest tonight. You can work hard tomorrow and collect lark with the doctor, okay?"
"Yes." The girl nodded and watched Liu Zhang leave. This time she did not snicker secretly. Liu Zhang's fake smile just now lingered in her mind.
The next day, the girl and the Qiang barbarians gathered lark together. They dug through the snow and rummaged through the places where lark often grew. However, the proportion of lark among clovers was too small. After searching for a long time, they could not find it.
On a high mountain, a girl, a barbarian and a Qiang man saw a clump of clover on an exposed cliff platform.
The girl pointed to the cluster of clover and said to the two of them: "Look, that's the lark."
The Qiang barbarians were all overjoyed, but the platform was suspended in mid-air and could not be collected. They had to hang a rope ladder down. The two of them went down to the platform, but before they could collect lark, they suddenly saw the rope ladder being pulled away. They looked up.
, it was the girl from the Western Regions. The girl from the Western Regions smiled triumphantly at the two of them and said, "Just stay there and wait for Liu Zhang to come and save you."
After the girl finished speaking, she threw the rope ladder hard towards the cliff. Liu Zhang and his people were watching under the cliff. The girl made a trumpet shape with her palms and shouted at the bottom of the mountain: "Liu Zhang, you big fool, big bastard, you are finally
Miss Nakamoto must have planned this. I’m leaving now. If you want to use me to threaten your father, there’s no way.”
After the girl finished speaking, she ran away from the cliff as happily as a sparrow.
"This is unreasonable." Liu Zhang cursed hatefully, and Wang Xudao: "Do you want to pursue me?"
"Can you catch up?" Liu Zhang said: "The mountains behind Xianling Qiang's old camp lead directly to the Western Region. It is inconvenient for even infantry to pass, let alone cavalry. Let's go and withdraw our troops back to the camp. This is unreasonable."
Looking at Liu Zhang's back, Sang Ye smiled at Xiao Furong and said, "I didn't expect that adults would be fooled."
"That's weird, he did it on purpose." Xiao Furong said dissatisfiedly, and looked back at the cliff where the girl disappeared, feeling a little angry. Anyway, the girl looked uncomfortable, not to mention pretending to be poisoned to deceive everyone, and now Liu Zhang
Xiao Furong was even more angry because she let it go on purpose.
Liu Zhang and Wang Xu returned to the camp. After explaining the matter, they prepared to return to Hanzhong. Wang Xu smiled at Liu Zhang and said, "My lord, did you let the princess of Shache go on purpose?"
"Sir, did you also notice it?"
Wang Xu smiled and said, "Master, why don't you keep her? Do you have plans for the Western Regions?"
"The Western Region is too far away, I don't want to consider it."
"But the lord has already thought about it involuntarily. Although the Western Region cannot be touched with our current strength, it does not mean that it will never be moved. The Western Region is a sensitive place. It is good to formulate a policy and strategy early. It can be done in the future.
Modification, at least when the time comes, we will not respond hastily and cause irreparable trouble.
What Wang Xu doesn't understand is that taking the children of the Western Regions as hostages has been a tradition of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. My lord seems to have given up. Why?" (To be continued)
