Great earthquake pass, Yunxia Palace.

After receiving the 600-mile urgent handwritten letter from Xi Zhicai, Liu Bei showed everyone everywhere: "Zhicai has gone first." ”

Li Ru took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Zuo Cheng is going here, and he will do it." ”

"In the letter, only the words 'minister goes' were left. What happened later, the drama did not say. Fu Xie said after looking at it.

Xun You replied with a smile: "Once I come, time is not waiting for me." Second, Zhicai knows us very well, and we also know Zhicai. Needless to say, we should make up for it. ”

"Yes, yes." Li Ru stood up and saluted: "My lord." Captain Guan can also come out. ”

"Someone." Liu Bei nodded: "Order the Hanyang battalion, send the former military captain, and enter Linqiang to capture Longqi City." ”

"Whoa!" There is an order for the Amazon female royal guard on duty to go out of the palace.

Fu Xie was puzzled: "Longqi is on the verge of the West Sea, and now the main forces of Zhuqiang are mostly dormant near Guiyi City, such as the Great and Small Elm Valleys, and the Cizhi River Meander. Why does the lord go far and near? ”

"The Qiang people are cunning. But when the wind blows, they will flee in panic. The slightest persecution, that is, escape into the depths of Xiqiang. In this battle, we should retreat as advance, and attack the east and west. Li Ru replied.

Liu Bei also smiled: "Lonely news." There are antelopes in Xiqiang who sleep at night, hang their horns in trees, and their feet do not touch the ground to avoid disaster. This battle should be like 'an antelope hanging its horns, and there is no trace to be found'. ”

"I see." Fu Xie bowed. In other words, the lord is really knowledgeable and talented. Even there is a beast in Xiqiang, whose name is "antelope", and such anecdotes are also known.

The next day, the White Stone Barrier.

Leave the garrison to guard the city barriers. The three thousand shogunate elite horsemen wrapped in Qiang riding costumes, under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Xi Zhicai, rushed to the west of the mountain.

Witty as a playful genius, he has asked for details from the captive. And arrange a proper identity for yourself. The origin of the noble lady also gives seven or eight points. There should be no flaws in this place. There are a few loopholes, and resourcefulness is enough to fill them.

There is nothing to say in the day.

At dusk, choose a leeward place to build Qiang felts and camp in the river valley.

In this marriage, one of the noble daughters is the main one. The rest are dowry. The identity is similar to that of a concubine.

In other words, Zhang Fei led eighteen horsemen but couldn't bring back nineteen people. The rest of the noble ladies who married were all captives. Among them, some people witnessed the bloody battle of the second day. camped at night, and learned from his companions that more than 10,000 of the young and strong tribes died under the white stone barrier. Many Qiang girls couldn't help crying.

There is a saying that "Qiang women are amorous".

In the previous bloody battle, there were many Qiang horsemen who had nothing to love, and they ran into the moat with people and horses in the face of random arrows. It's because of the sight that my sweetheart was snatched away.

No wonder the noble lady also said, "I don't want to kiss."

Blind marriage is one of them. The heart belongs, and Xu is also the main reason.

Under the desire for profit, he dared to rebel. There are only a few women, why is Qiangqu reluctant. And under the "wife sparing system", it is not known whose bloodline it is.

After all, it can't compare to money.

"Ah Su, 10,000 burned men, all died at the hands of the Han army. I don't wait for an opportunity to take revenge, why do I still obey the orders of the Han people. "When I was camping, there was a noble lady who said through gritted teeth.

A noble girl named Ah Su is a person who is close to her. After glancing at his companion, Ah Suyan said: "My sister-in-law knows that if you don't obey, we will all die without a place to be buried." With the ability of the Han people, it doesn't matter whether there is us or not. Even if you find a Dongqiang woman to pretend, it is enough to confuse the truth. ”

"I don't know what's at stake? Why not...... Hypothetical promise. When he reached the land of the west, he shouted loudly and led Zhong Qiang to kill him. to wash away blood feuds. The noble girl said hatefully.

Ah Su was shocked: "Sister-in-law must not think so much. And no, those who travel with my sisters are all tigers and wolves. And the first two, one is the righteous brother of the king of thistle, and he has the courage of ten thousand people. One person is the right man of the Western Regions Protectorate, and he is a man who is close to the demon. Sister-in-law must not take risks, otherwise she will die! ”

"Humph!" Although the noble lady did not speak, the hatred in her eyes did not decrease but increased.

Ah Su painstakingly advised: "'Xu' will take a Chinese name for us, learn Han etiquette, learn Chinese dialect, and wear Han clothes." It is to make the children of my clan gradually no different from the Han people. In this way, there is a glimmer of life. There is Duan Taiwei in the front, and Liu Bei, the king of thistles, in the back. The Qiang and Han people fought for a hundred years, with countless casualties and finally lost. There were 36 firsts, 100,000 people, and they were defeated once. 'Wandering three hundred miles, finishing the city', he was punished by migration, but no one was disobedient. It shows that the power of the thistle king is strong and unmatched. Today, the Dongqiang and Di people have all surrendered and are driven by the king of thistle. Losing the barrier with Hanjun, the situation is even weaker today, and only a few Xiqiang are left, how to fight the enemy. ”

"Because of this, my brother made us marry Zhong Qiang." The noble lady was still not convinced.

"This is the plan of the Thistle King." Ah Su has realized the approximation: "When the six generals were moved, they died one after another, and only Song Jian and his family fled into Huangzhong." It is the thistle king's anti-guest strategy. Dongqiang and Di people earn 200 dollars a day. He will be willing to drive for the king of thistles. As soon as the time comes, King Thistle gives an order. Dongqiang, Diren, Huangzhong Yi Conghu, Western Regions Coalition Army, Shogunate soldiers, will attack it in groups. At that time, what is the use of forming an alliance with Zhong Cun! ”

"Asu...... He has been intelligent since he was a child, and he has studied Han scriptures. Seeing ourselves is different from us. Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's rest early. ”

Seeing her sister-in-law get up and leave, a touch of sadness suddenly rose in Ah Su's eyes.

I couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, the team set out for camp.

Passing through Baishi County, there were 100 machine vehicles covered with furs and disguised as dowry vehicles, and joined the team.

Three days later, along the Lishui River Valley, into the west slope mountain pass.

Seeing the sheep's horn totem standing at the mouth of the valley, the nobles in the team put on the Qiang "Hua felt" one after another.

"(Qiang) women wear big Chinese felt as decorations."

Nowadays, the clothing of the Qiang people is mainly based on fur fur and wool and linen fabrics. The most distinctive is "felt". The production process of felt is far simpler than that of textile wool cloth. Later generations were improved and called "Qiang embroidery".

Because it's precious. All the way to the wind and snow, reluctant to put on one. Now into the west of the mountain boundary, this is the felt, in order to show grandeur.

At the sound of the trumpet, several riders rushed up the slope. Said a Qiang language out loud.

In the team, there was a Dongqiang team to answer in Qiang.

Zhong Cunqiang rode with a happy face. Leave a horse to lead the way, and then return to report the news.

"Since the sword has been divided, there have been one hundred and fifty kinds of descendants. Its nine kinds are in the giving branch, and the giving branch is the analysis branch. west of the head of the river and north of Shu Han. The wolf is in Wudu, and there are thousands of victorious soldiers. Fifty-two of them are declining, unable to stand on their own, scattered into attachments, or extinct without a descendant, or led away. Of its eighty-nine kinds, only Zhong (Qiang) is the strongest, winning more than 100,000 soldiers. The rest of the big ones are more than 10,000 people, and the small ones are thousands, and they are even more robbers, and their ups and downs are impermanent. ”

As the most powerful Xiqiang species, Zhongcunqiang is a large and small species, widely distributed in the west-leaning mountains. Often grazing horses in the cizhi river meander, or along the west slope of the mountain to the east, into the Taoshui valley. The upstream and downstream are all places with abundant water and grass. In addition, he is good at taming the good horses of the river, and after absorbing many other species that were driven away by the Han Dynasty, he is strong.

"More money theft, prosperity and decline are impermanent", it also shows that there are often fights between the Qiang people. Swallowing each other, booming and waning.

The mountains are inclined to the west, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the mountains and valleys are staggered. It stretches for more than 450 miles. It is 100 to 150 miles wide. Bells are scattered in valleys, hills, river banks, and holes. If there is no guidance, how can you find the royal court?

When he was a teenager, he went straight to the Xianbei royal court.

Zhang Fei also led the team of relatives, and under the guidance of Zhong Cunqiang, they marched towards the royal court.

Zhang Fei and Xi Zhicai both dressed up as entourages and hid in the team. Send the leader of the family, and hand it over to the Dongqiang team under his command to pretend.

In addition, there is a noble girl who is like a fake exchange, and she assists from the side. The guide Qiang rode without doubting him.

Another day.

The team camped in the mountains.
