Ma Chao's eyes were sharp and said, "Zhuang Ze, what do you say to do next? Nowadays, if you want food, you have no food, and if you want money, you have no money. Although we still have thousands of people, thousands of people want to compete with Zhang Xiu. It's just a drop in the bucket. If there is no food and grass to support, these thousands of people are likely to be broken
Zhuang Ze said: "now the only way is to go to the king of Qiang in Baima. The king of Baima Qiang has a close relationship with his Lord. With the help of the power of Baima Qiang, the situation may be reversed. "
Ma Chao was silent when he heard it.
He also knew some Qiang tribes, but they were all small tribes.
In other words, Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, had a good relationship with some Qiang tribes and knew some big tribes. However, Ma Chao ignored the news of Ma Teng, and many Qiang tribes cut off contact with Ma Chao.
Even though Ma Chao was in Xiliang, he could not contact many Qiang tribes, which made him unable to use the power of Qiang people. On the contrary, Han Sui was able to use the power of Qiang people.
Zhuang Ze looked at Han Sui again and solemnly said: "Lord, Zhang Xiu conquered Longxian County, but there was no barrier from Longguan. Next, Zhang Xiu will be invincible. "
"If we can't cooperate sincerely, we can't resist Zhang Xiu."
"Fortunately, Liangzhou is not the Central Plains. In the territory of Liangzhou, the people are fierce and disobey Wang Hua and control. It is not easy for Zhang Xiu to capture Liangzhou. "
"Now, it can only be the combination of the two sides to resist Zhang Xiu."
Zhuang Ze said: "otherwise, Zhang Xiu will become a prisoner in Liangzhou, whether he is the Lord or General Ma."
Han Sui said, "if it wasn't for the fall of Longguan, how could it be here?"
Ma Chao said tit for tat: "if it wasn't for you, Han Sui was calculating, how could it be. In the final analysis, all this is caused by you, Han Sui, not me. "
Han Sui clenched his teeth and was angry.
Ma Chao even accused him. He thought it was Ma Chao's fault.
As soon as Zhuang Ze saw Han Sui's anger, he quickly stopped him and said, "Lord, are we still at war with Zhang Xiu?"
"Yes!"
Han then made a firm answer.
This time, he suffered a big loss in Zhang Xiu's hands. How can he swallow this evil breath.
Zhuangze said: "since there is still a war to be fought, please let go of your bad feelings. No matter the Lord or General Ma, they should put aside their ties and their enmity. Otherwise, there is no need to fight Zhang Xiu. "
Han Sui and Ma Chao looked at each other, hummed and looked away from each other.
Zhuang Ze was helpless in his eyes.
It's really tricky!
On the outside, Zhang Xiu is covetous. On the inside, China, South Korea and Ma Chao are hostile to each other.
Zhuang Ze said: "now, we're going directly to the tribe of baimaqiang. We should strive to arrive at baimaqiang as soon as possible and solve the current predicament as soon as possible. Otherwise, we may become Zhang Xiu's prisoners. "
"Let's go!"
When Han took the lead, he gave the order.
"Let's go!"
Ma Chao also gave a loud order.
A team of less than 10000 people went all the way west without any delay.
Shaodangqiang is located in Jincheng county.
The area occupied by shaodangqiang has abundant water and grass and vast terrain. Today, although the Qiang people living in shaodangqiang live as tribes, they are actually different from the Huns.
Huns and Wuhuan people lived by water and grass. But the Qiang people in Liangzhou settled down in this area. In addition to grazing, they also cultivated.
Today's Qiang people, to a large extent, are influenced by the Han people.
Shaodang, the king of Qiang, is called midang.
This man is in his early 40s, but he looks old, his temples are white, and his beard under his jaw is white, which gives people the feeling that he is over 60 years old. However, midang has a high prestige in the whole shaodang Qiang nationality.
In the early years of shaodangqiang, there were only a few tribes, but more than a thousand people. But today's shaodang Qiang has tens of thousands of people, and countless tribes gather here. Its strength is very strong, no less than that of Baima Qiang in Wudu County.
This is the credit of midang.
As the king of Qiang, midang integrated the whole shaodang Qiang, and developed its strength with the help of the power of the Han court, so that it has today's scale.
Tribal center, in the king's tent.
Midang's hair was loose and he was in fur. Now it's may, the weather has already begun to warm, but midang is very afraid of the cold, sitting alone. After all, the northwest is a cold and bitter place, and most of the Qiang people who burn the local people live for less than 30 or 40 years.
Midang is now in his early 40s, and he is considered a relatively long-lived person. He sat in the king's tent, squinting and closing his eyes.
"Step on it! Step on it
The sound of footsteps came from outside the king's tent.
A nearly 50 year old Han with white hair and beard entered. He was dressed in coarse linen and a fur robe. He put his hands in his sleeves and bowed to midang after entering.
His name is Jiang Ye.
He is from Liangzhou.
Although Jiang Ye was a Han nationality, he could not become an official without fame. He was eventually recruited by midang and became his counselor. It can be said that MI Dang can have today, and Jiang Ye has made great achievements.Jiang Ye is close to Han people. At Jiang Ye's suggestion, midang allowed Qiang people to intermarry with Han people and promoted the contact between Han and Qiang people, which further enhanced the strength of shaodang Qiang people.
Jiang Ye sat down and said slowly, "Your Majesty, this year's warrior competition among tribes has been arranged. In three or five days at most, people from all tribes will gather and compete near the king's tent. "
"Since last year, you've been telling us that you want to choose a husband for dor."
"This news, after nearly a year of fermentation, has countless people looking forward to, waiting for the arrival of this day. Countless people want to be dor's husband and the king's son-in-law. "
Jiang Ye has a smile on his face.
Choosing a husband for duo'er is a great event for shaodang Qiang.
Duo'er, the youngest daughter of midang, is the Pearl of shaodang Qiang.
Although duo'er was only sixteen years old, she was already very graceful. Her name is Jiang Ye. She has been with Jiang Ye since childhood, deeply influenced by Jiang ye, and admires the Han culture.
Midang stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile: "the wedding of duo'er is a grand event in shaodang Qiang. He who wants to marry dor must be a hero. This time, be sure to pick out the real heroes. "
Jiang ye said: "it should be so."
"Newspaper!"
Suddenly, a Qiang soldier entered.
The Qiang soldiers came to Jiang Ye's side and whispered a word. Jiang Ye waved his hand to let the soldiers back down. Jiang ye turned to midang and reported: "king, Zhang Xiu, the Great Han's captain, sent envoys outside the tribe and asked to see you."
"Zhang Xiu?"
With a look of shock on his face, midang said, "is that the man who killed Yu Fuluo and killed the southern Xiongnu?"
"Yes
Jiang Ye nods and answers.
Mi Dang said in a deep voice: "listen to the news outside, Zhang Xiu is extremely exclusive of foreign people, and she also wants to get rid of Qiang people. Zhang Xiu intends to annihilate US Qiang people. "
Jiang Ye laughed and said: "king, I have not explained it. It's just Han Sui's trick. Han then wanted the Qiang people to hate Zhang Xiu before delivering such a message. Especially recently, Zhang Xiu's attitude has been heard. When Zhang Xiu arrived in Liangzhou, he wanted to reduce corvee and reduce taxes. Zhang Xiu is very powerful. Why don't you see his envoys? "
"All right!"
Midang thought about it and answered directly.
Jiang Ye is the person he trusts most. To some extent, Jiang Ye is more important than his son.
This is the wise man in shaodang Qiang.
Jiang Ye got the command of midang, and immediately arranged for the soldiers to send orders.
