The material is half right.

That night, after leaving the tent, Koji Qiu did indeed enter the prisoner camp as he suspected, inspected the captured Rong people, and randomly picked a Rong tribe at night and lived in it to show his trust in them.

The half that Xin Er didn't expect was that Koji Qiu summoned the leaders of the captured Rong people to his tent temporarily before making his rounds.

There were about 3,000 people in the Qiang and Di of Yinping County, who attacked Yinping from the Pu Badger Sun Division, and some were killed in the battle and some fled, and the remaining captured were about 2,000, which was not a lot of people, from four tribes.

Two of the leaders of these four tribes are the chiefs of the main department, one is the younger brother of the chief of the tribe, and the other is the small rate of the famous people of their subordinates.

In the tent where they arrived, the candle flame was bright, and the four of them saw the koji ball sitting on the hut, and Qu Nanhu and Qu Nan were standing behind.

- Koji Qiu came back to the Rong prisoner camp, and he didn't bring anyone else, only Qu Nanhu's father and son. The reason is very simple, one is Qu Nanhu's father and son, and he is of the same clan as the four people who came; One is the Qiang tribe to which Qu Nanhu's father and son belong, which is a large tribe among the many Qiang tribes in the southeast of Longzhou, Longxi, Wudu, and Yinping.

The four people who entered the account were divided into two rows and bowed down.

Koji Qiu smiled: "You guys get up, you don't need to be so polite." ”

The four of them stood up and stood stiffly.

Koji Qiu asked their names and tribes, and said with a smile: "Wulong is also more Qiang, Di Ye, in my hometown Xiping County, for hundreds of years, Tang and Rong have lived together, and I have been familiar with my local Rong people since I was a child. The Qiang Department of my county, with the Qu Nan Department as the flourishing, is the remnant of the burning Qiang other departments, you should know about this department, right? Pointing to Qu Nanhu, "This is Qu Nanhu, the younger brother of the chief of Qu Nanhu." He pointed to Qu Nan to see the sun, "This is his son, Qu Nan will see the sun." He asked the four, "Have you ever heard the name of his father and son?" ”

Among the ancestors of the Qiang people, there was an epoch-making figure named Wuyi Jian, who was a person in the early Warring States period, "Wuyi", the meaning of slave in the Qiang language, and "爰剑", the meaning of the leader in the Qiang language. This person was originally a slave of the Qin people, but later fled to the Yellow River and Huangshui, and was promoted by the local Qiang people to become the leader. He taught the knowledge of agriculture and animal husbandry that he had learned from the Qin State to the Qiang people, who were still very backward at that time, which promoted the development of Qiang society and production, and made the Qiang tribe stronger and stronger. Since the Wu Yi sword, the branches of the Qiang people have reached as many as 150 species, of which nine are active outside the river and Huang, and the rest are in the river and huang areas.

There are so many Qiang tribes in the Hehe and Huang regions, and in the early and middle years of the Qin Dynasty, Xianlingqiang was the most powerful; Subsequently, Burning Dangqiang rose, defeated Xianlingqiang, and became the new Qiang overlord, Changxiong Zhubu.

It is said that the ancestors of Dangqiang and Xian Lingqiang are still relatives. The fifth grandson of the Wuyi sword had nine sons, one of whom was called "Yan", the most heroic, and his tribe was named after him, which was to study the Qiang. Xian Lingqiang, that is, the relatives of the Qiang. And Burning Dangqiang, also named after the tribal chieftain, is the thirteenth grandson of Wuyi Sword, that is, the descendant of Yan.

After the rise of Burning Dangqiang, it was once strong for a while, standing in Huangshui, occupying the large and small elm valleys with abundant water and grass, that is, the southeast border of Longzhou today, and several invasions of Longxi County and other places, repeatedly fighting fiercely with the Qin army, it can be called one of the most threatening western troubles in the middle and late stages of the Qin Dynasty, when it was the most powerful, it was able to gather fifty or sixty thousand infantry warriors, and in several battles, it caused a lot of casualties to the Qin army.

But in the end, it can't compare with the national strength of the Qin Dynasty, in the continuous war, the burning of Dangqiang gradually declined, and until now, there is no such name, only some Qiang are left, claiming to be the remnants of Burning Dangqiang, other departments.

Qu Nanbu is one of them. There is also the Qiang part of Yao Tao and Yao Jin, which also claims to be the remnant of burning Dangqiang.

Maybe it's true, maybe it's false, there's no need to go into detail. In fact, with the long-term war ,—— war between Burning Dangqiang and the Qin Dynasty, close contact will definitely occur, and contact will definitely learn from each other's strengths, so the integration of Xiqiang and Xia people, now looking at it, is a step further than before. The so-called "successive" means that the names of the father and son must be the same in the names of the fathers and sons, such as the great-great-grandson of the burning of the Dang is named Dian Liang, the son of Dian Liang who succeeded to the position of the Dian Liang chieftain is called Dian Wu, the son of Dian Wu who succeeded to the position of Dian Wu is called Mi Wu, his younger brother is called Hao Wu, and the son of Mi Wu who succeeds the position of Mi Wu is called Mi Tang, and so on; However, in the current Qiang tribes, except for a few, most of the people with a deeper degree of civilization no longer have this phenomenon of naming, but like the Tang people, the names of father and son are no longer the same, according to the customs of the Tang people, they are like brothers.

The four of them replied: "Captain Qu Nan's father and son are the warriors of my Qiang people, and Xiao Hu and the others know the name of his father and son. ”

Koji Qiu recalled the past and said with a smile: "Seeing the sun and I are friends of the general horn, we have been together since we were young, and we miss each other when we don't see each other for three or two days, or we meet to hunt the pasture, or fish by the water." Neither of us are impatient people, and we often go from morning to night, and we don't feel tired, but when we pretend to be adults fishing, it is not long before one of us can hold back our temperament, drop the fishing rod, strip naked, and simply jump into the river to swim and play. Oh, when I think of that young man, I really don't know how sad I am! Spreading his arms, he showed the unwashed armor on his body, which was covered with blood stains and stains, and said, "Who would have thought that Yu would often fight on the battlefield with blood now,...... And meet you in the middle of the battlefield? ”

Among the four, one of the quick reflexes took the lead and quickly knelt on the ground again, and the remaining three quickly followed, and they all knelt down again.

The leader said: "Xiaohu and other savages in the valley, who don't know the power of heaven, were fascinated by the Pu Badger Sun and Ran Seng slaves, and were stupid for a while, but they didn't measure their own strength, and dared to be the enemy of the general, and they deserved to die, begging the general to punish the crime!" ”

Qu Nan frowned when he saw the sun and thought, "What do you mean by 'not self-sufficient'?" Why, if you have enough strength, you dare to be my enemy? That's stupidity! "Turn your eyes to the koji ball.

Koji Qiu knew that this person's words should be gaffes, but he didn't blame him, as if he hadn't heard it, and said with a smile: "You are my enemy, and I don't blame you." Don't say that this time you have made the west an enemy of me, even another day, and you have made the west an enemy of me, and I still will not blame you. ”

The leader was terrified and said, "How dare you be the enemy of the general again?" The general's divine might, Xiaohu and others have seen it with their own eyes these days, and they admire the general so much that they have thrown themselves to the ground, and since then, they are willing to be the general's pawns, and they will be driven by the general, and they will never dare to rebel again! ”

Koji Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "What you said is not true. ”

The man said: "What Xiao Hu said is all heartfelt words! If the general doesn't believe it, Xiao Hu dares to ask for a dissection to show it! ”

"You don't have to." Koji Qiu stood up from Hu Sitting, paced to the four kneeling people, helped them up one by one, and said in an understanding tone, "I know your suffering. ”

The four of them got up, and they didn't know what Koji Qiu meant.

The man who took the lead had read some of the Xia people's classics, and if he was a little literate, he still spoke on behalf of the people.

He asked: "The general's words, Xiaohu didn't understand, I don't know the word 'bitterness', what does the general mean?" ”

Koji Qiu looked at the four of them one by one, and sighed and said: "Born in troubled times, wars are endless, and every day is either a war here or there." The strong dominate the land, and the weak have to choose one and attach themselves to it in order to survive. Now Qin is strong and I am weak in the west, and you are attacking me from Pu Badger Sun and others, I know that this is what you have to do to protect your headquarters, and this is your hardship. ”

Kojiqiu's words were something that the four of them never expected.

When the four of them heard this, their eyes widened and they were dumbfounded, and they were all speechless, even the leader of the Qiang people who was a little educated, and they didn't know how to answer.

For no other reason, these words of Kojiqiu are too straightforward.

Koji Qiu returned to the Hu seat and sat down, and asked with a smile: "Is what I said about this 'bitterness' of yours right?" ”

Koji Qiu asked, and the four of them couldn't help but answer, and the leader couldn't think of a suitable explanation, so he had to answer truthfully, saying: "The general really knows Xiaohu and other departments. What the general said was exactly the 'bitterness' of Xiaohu and others. Xiao Hu and others attached themselves to Qin Yu and vainly became enemies of the general, not because of Xiao Hu and others' original intentions, but because they were coerced by Ran Seng Nu and Pu Badger Sun. ”

Koji Qiu smiled: "What you say is not true. You can't say you're lying, but it's not all you're saying. ”

The man who took the lead tried to speak, but Koji interrupted him and said with a joke, "I have already said that you don't need to show your heart. You may wonder, how do I know you're not talking about what you're talking about? Listen to me, see if I'm right.

"It is true that you are afraid of the military might of Pu Badger Sun, but you are willing to attack my Yinping from Pu Badger Sun, but it is also for the interests of your and other departments, and you must also have the idea of 'after defeating our army, you can get more benefits after welcoming Ran Seng and Nu back', right?"

just pointed out that it was "not the truth" in person, and bluntly said that it was "not in the heart", and in the subsequent two analysis, Koji Qiu did hit the hearts of the four people.

When the four of them looked at the koji ball again, they only felt that the eyes of the koji ball seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

All four were flustered.

The leader involuntarily bowed down for the third time, kowtowed and said, "Xiao Hu can't hide the general's little caution!" ”

Koji balls stroked his beard and smiled.

The leader was loyal again, and compared with the last time, this time his allegiance was much more sincere because of fear, and said: "Xiao Hu and the others have nothing to hide in front of the general, and from now on, they will never dare to have any more dissenting hearts, only follow the general's horse!" ”

Koji Qiu smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to show your loyalty. ”

The leader asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Koji Qiu said: "I just said, 'Qin is strong today and I am weak in the west', people attach themselves to the strong and seek their own benefits, this person's normal feelings, this is why I don't blame you." If I had to blame it, I would only blame me for not being strong enough.

"However, although I am not as good as Qin Qiang in Dingxi today, who are Pu Badger Sun and Tonghuliang people? Pu Badger Sun, brother of the Lord of Qin; Tonghuliang, Qin Shangjiang, not only have they all been defeated under the hands of my Dingxi Expeditionary General? led more than 10,000 strong soldiers, and the two of them fled alone.

"You have not yet known the conquest, the conquest of talent and martial arts, the wisdom is outstanding, the command of the army to the present, but two years, first set the Western Regions, retake the three counties of Qinzhou, and the middle of the Kehan, for me to set the west to open up a territory for thousands of miles, break the turtles, destroy Ran Xing, Shu Li, invincible, I set the west of the Tang Shi, Hu chief, all of them to the conquest, compete to obey, strong I set the west, will be conquered!

"On the other hand, Pu Qin, although the Qin lord Pu Mao is called benevolent and known as the Ming Lord, he is indecisive, and this good minister who governs the world is by no means the hero of the troubled times. If he is really as benevolent and wise as the rumors say, why did Zhao Xing abandon Qin and follow me to the west?

"In time, as short as three or two years, or as long as four or five years, I will definitely be stronger than Qin Yu! I am willing to make an appointment with you, if the time comes, I will still not be as good as Qin Qiang, then whether it is a rebellion or not, I will choose by you and others. How is it? ”

Speaking of this, Koji Qiu put away his smile, held the hilt of the sword, and said, "I still say the same thing, you are the enemy of me today, I don't blame you, you wait for the next day, if you rebel again, I still don't blame you, only then, capture you again!"

The other three were so frightened by his majesty that their legs went limp, and after following the leader, they fell to the ground for the third time.

"Will you make a covenant with me?"

Not to mention that Koji Qiu pointed out that Dingxi would be stronger than Pu Qin through objective analysis, but only said that Koji Qiu not only understood the hardships of these four people, but also had insight into the minds of the four of them like gods, and tolerantly allowed them to rebel again, and confidently said that if they rebelled again, he would capture them again, and every word he said was straightforward, pulling and beating, which had already made these four people in awe of him, and he didn't know where he was.

The leader pledged his allegiance for the third time, and this time it can be called sincere, and said: "How dare Xiaohu and the others rebel again? I don't dare to make this appointment with the general! ”

Koji Qiu pushed the boat along the water, and said: "Then let's change the agreement, and make an appointment with you to determine the subjects of the west for me from now on." "Order Qu Nanhu and Qu Nan to see the sun," take the pear. ”

Not long after, Qu Nanhu and his son came over with a wooden plate and a big pear.

The koji ball took a pear in his hand, took a bite first, and passed it to the four people, and the four people also took a bite each.

This is called "biting pears for faith", which is a form of oath used by the Di people and Qiang people.

After the four of them made an agreement with Kojiqiu, they respectfully accompanied Kojiqiu, inspected the Rongren prisoners of each of the four of them, and returned Kojiqiu to the tent. That night, the four of them did not return to the tent, but they guarded him outside the tent of Kojiqiu.
