"Sure enough...... Fei Qian listened to Ling Jie's report, nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he motioned for Ling Jie to continue, "Where are the Qiang people's troops now?" “

The Qiang people are scattered, and without a unified system, they can easily be mixed in.

As Fei Qian speculated, there were indeed Qiang tribes in this vicinity.

Ling Jie drew a rough picture with a wooden stick on the ground, and then said: "About one hundred and eighty miles northwest from us, there is a small gathering point, there are about more than a thousand, less than two thousand, listen to them, about three hundred miles to the north of the west, there is also a Qiang assembly point here, the number is unknown, but there are people from Tsing Yi Qiang and Yak Qiang, and some other tribes, according to the estimates of the subordinates, the number should be more than five thousand......

"Hmm......" Fei Qian nodded thoughtfully, "then...... Is there any news about Han and Ma? ”

Ling Jie shook his head and said, "My subordinates have asked some Qiang people, but no one knows...... The subordinates were afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Qiang people, and they didn't dare to delay for too long, so they came back......"

Fei Qian said: "Well, you did the right thing, no matter what military intelligence you spied on, if you can't pass it back, it's worthless...... By the way, have you seen the Di people? ”

Ling Jie thought for a moment and said affirmatively: "There are no Di people, only Qiang people. ”

Although it is often said that the Qiang and Qiang are not separated, there are still some differences between the Qiang and the Di people, such as the attitude towards sheep and other animals, such as whether to choose burial or cremation, and there are also differences in clothing, the main difference is that on the neck, the Qiang people must have a necklace made of wool, or a wool rope, while the Di people do not have it.

Don't look at it as just a wool rope, but for the Qiang people, this rope is the "guiding rope" that guides their souls to the kingdom of God, and the only guide for them to end the pain of life at the moment and enjoy the peace and happiness after death, so basically, it is never taken off.

So Ling Jie said that he didn't see the Di people, so where did the Di people who attacked the convoy of grain and grass come from?

Or maybe this time Ling Jie just went to the gathering place of the Qiang people, and did not find the gathering point of the Di people?

Or is it ......

All sorts of ideas came flooding back.

After thinking for a moment, Fei Qian nodded and let Ling Jie go down to rest first.

Jia Xu Pang Tong is in Guanzhong, Li Ru is in Hanzhong, and Xun Chen is in Pingyang, so Fei Qian does not have any strategists around him now, and all problems can only be considered by himself, which inevitably makes Fei Qian a little unaccustomed.

Although Xu Huang can also discuss a thing or two, but Xu Huang focuses on specific battles and battlefield deployment, and does not have much experience in other aspects, maybe one day in the future, Xu Huang can also grow into a talent in this area, but it is still a little short.

Fei Qian has sent three batches of messenger soldiers to Guanzhong, and so far, the third batch of soldiers has not turned back, nor has they sent anyone back to report anything abnormal, which means that no one intercepted and returned to Guanzhong smoothly.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the opponent is too strong and ambushed too well, so that even one person cannot escape. However, there was no pattern in the three batches of messengers, the first batch and the second batch were separated by nearly a day, and the third batch was only less than an hour apart from the second batch......

Normally, even if you are ambushed, there will definitely be traces of battle, and once there are traces of battle, there must be a problem, but now the third batch still hasn't come back to warn, and to a certain extent, it can be determined that the information about yourself on the right side of Longzhong can be transmitted to Guanzhong.

However, the situation of Longyou is still unclear, there are too many missing puzzle pieces, what is the attitude of the Qiang and Di people, or how many Qiang and Di people are involved in this matter, where are Han Sui and Ma Chao hiding in the shadows, and what they are going to do, are all questions that need Fei Qian to continue to investigate.

But before that, we must first solve the problem of Wang Yi, who is arguing below......

After all, this is the closest to Fidhan, a larger, unidentishable source of threat.

However, there is also too little information about the Di people, and it is not clear what the leader's personality is and what his hobbies are, so he still needs to be contacted again......

………………………………

In Bai Ma Qiang's big tent, Jiang Jian and Bai Ma Qiang's leaders sat facing each other, glaring at each other.

"This matter ......," said Živorki in a deep voice, "it has nothing to do with me! It wasn't our Baimaqiang people who did it! Believe it or not, all I can tell you is this! ”

"Nothing to do with you?" Jiang Jian frowned, looked at the head of Bai Ma Qiang, Ri Wuji, and then asked in a deep voice, "So, old friend, tell me, who is this related to?" ”

Unlike Fei Qian, who needs to explore and investigate slowly, Jiang is a big surname on the ground of Tianshui, and naturally has a better understanding and grasp of the surrounding situation, so Jiang Jian found Baimaqiang almost non-stop after rushing to Tianshui to determine what happened.

Jiang Jian can single-handedly rush in front of the White Horse Qiangtou people, which does not mean that Jiang Jian must be braver, more courageous, and more protagonist-like than Fei Qian, but it is a very simple truth, Jiang Jian's current personal value is very different from Fei Qian's personal value.

Except for Jiang's original friendship with the Qiang people, judging from the personal safety and life risk alone, Jiang Yin's behavior of going to the meeting alone does not have any risk?

There is the same risk, but this risk is not huge. Because everyone knows that even if you kill Jiang Yin, or detain Jiang Jian to blackmail something, you will not have much gain, and you will also be retaliated against because of this, so unless it is under some extreme special circumstances, Jiang Yin's personal safety is even safer when he is inside Baimaqiang than when he is outside......

Fidive is different.

If Fei Qian dares to go to the meeting alone, then he will definitely die by himself. Everyone knows that Fei Qian has no heir at the moment, which means that after killing Fei Qian, this interest group under Fei Qian will definitely fall apart immediately in order to maintain their existing interests, and naturally there is no need to worry about any direct blood relatives of Fei Qian coming to retaliate. If you lose some reputation, you can exchange it for huge profits, and this kind of business is naturally very cost-effective in the eyes of many people.

It's like if the president of the United States dares not to take a public note, nor does he bring a large number of guards and personnel, and goes to a country with contradictions by himself, such as Green Green or North Stick, believe it or not, the population will evaporate immediately?

The position of the person is different, and the value of the individual is different.

Jiang Jian is now Fei Qian's hands and feet and eyeliner, whether it is in Jiang's future considerations or his own official career prospects, the risk of single-handedly breaking into Baimaqiang is almost negligible to him.

Therefore, Jiang Jian treated Bai Maqiang's Riwuji with a very unkind attitude, and Riwuji would not treat him like anything anyway.

At least he won't do anything to Jiang Jian inside Baimaqiang.

Riwuji glared at Jiang Yin and said, "I don't know! ”

Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "No, you must know!" ”

Ivoki snorted, stopped talking, and twisted his head to the side.

"Old friend, it's me who ......is wrong," Jiang Jian suddenly said with a smile, "But you also know during this period of time, our Jiang fleet is transporting the grain and grass of General Zhengxi, and it is really busy......

"So you're all busy changing a batch of blades and armor for yourself, and even the defenders of Tianshui County have the leather armor you replaced?" Riwuki unceremoniously interrupted Jiang Yin's words and said, "What about my goods?" The sword and that promised me something...... What ......"

"Frosting." Jiang Jian kindly reminded.

"Yes!" Zhiwuji glared, then couldn't help but lick his lips and said, "Frosting...... What a beautiful name, just frosting, not seen at all! You're embarrassed to come! I didn't cut you with a knife, you should thank God Aries for his forgiveness and mercy! ”

"Hmm......" Jiang Jian said unhurriedly, "Old friend, this is your fault......

"Huh?" Zhivorki was not able to react.

Jiang Jian said unhurriedly: "Old friend, if you want an ordinary battle knife, there is no problem, I will ask the people in the family to spare some for you when I go back, is fifty enough?" Is eighty enough? If not, just a hundred! ”

"Huh?"

Before Riwuji could say anything, Jiang Jian quickly continued: "But in this way, your original hundred refining battle knives and delicious frosting will belong to our Jiang family......

"What?" Hivorki almost jumped up and yelled, "No! Absolutely not! ”

"Alas, I say, old friend," Jiang Jian said without changing his face and heartbeat, "Do you really think that those tempered swords and delicious frosting are all blown by the wind?" Or did it fall from the sky? Well? You don't want to think about it, where is it so easy to make such delicate and valuable things? Just like the little lamb in your camp, it also needs sweet pasture to be carefully cared for, so that it can grow day by day. ”

Riwoki's eyes rolled, his attitude was obviously softened a lot, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "So, my goods, still need some time to prepare?" ”

"Of course! Good things have to wait......" Jiang Yin said, "Even the rain in the sky and the grass on the ground need to wait...... There is nothing to wait for, only the loess and stones, but how useful are these things that do not need to wait? Old friend, you're in too much of a hurry...... Or do you want to follow my suggestion and replace it with a regular one for you? ”

"No way!" Zhivorki flatly refused, "What do you want to do ordinary?" No, no! ”

"I'll just have a suggestion, if you can't wait......" Jiang Jian smiled, then leaned closer and whispered, "Okay, anyway, you are in charge, but ...... Now can you tell me what the hell is going on? Who did it? ”

Zhivorki was silent for a while, and finally said: "I told you that you can, but it must not be said that it is news from me!" ”

Jiang Jian slapped his chest and said, "Old friend, don't you still believe in me?" Don't worry, say ......."

………………………………

Tianshui County, Yang's mansion.

Under the guidance of the servant, Jiang Xu quickly entered the hall, and when he saw Yang Fu, he bowed his hand and said straight to the point: "Brother Yishan, have you heard about the things outside the city?" ”

Yang Fu returned the salute, invited Jiang Xu to sit down, and then motioned to the servants on the side to bring tea and soup, and then said slowly: "I heard about it, I don't know what you think, Bo Yi?" ”

On the outskirts of Tianshui, many manors that were not well prepared were attacked, killing many people and burning down some houses, which also led to the destruction of some immature grain and grass to varying degrees.

Of course, the people in the manor that was attacked said that they had seen the tricolor flag, and in the entire Han Dynasty, only General Zhengxi used the tricolor flag......

"Although some people have seen the banner of the expedition to the west, but in a certain opinion, it does not look like a person who conquered the west......" Jiang Xu looked at Yang Fu and said in a deep voice.

Yang Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?" ”

"Brother She, the day before yesterday I returned to Tianshui, and yesterday the manor in the southern suburbs was attacked...... Jiang Xu said, "Brother She, I once said, the expedition to the west is in the next debate, there are not many war horses, why are there so many cavalry?" What's more, if you want to compensate for the expedition to the west, you need to give up your brother to pass the word, so why force each other? A little grain and grass, don't say ten times, even if it is twenty times, a certain family will lose it! If Zheng Xi really behaved like this, wouldn't it be too petty? Zhengxiping Baibo is humble and famous, how can he be so shallow? ”

Yang Fu glanced at Jiang Xu, motioned for Jiang Xu to drink tea, and after muttering for a while, he said slowly: "So, I don't know how Zhong Yi commented on this matter?" ”

"Brother She's bluntly said that it is definitely not what Zhengxi said, and he has gone to look for Baimaqiang and explored one or two ......" Jiang Xu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said, "However, before leaving, Brother Shedi once said that at General Zhengxi's place, he had seen the 'Old Qin Ling'......"

"Huh?" Yang Fu's eyes widened and he repeated, "'Old Qin Ling'? How could there be an 'old Qin order' in the west? Isn't that ......?"

Jiang Xu shook his head and said: "Zhengxi was born in Heluo, this matter is true, so it is not a person of Lao Qin, this order is definitely not a ...... of Zhengxi's family."

Yang Fu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said, "If this order was born ten years earlier...... Now Xiliang is dilapidated, and it is no longer the same as it used to be......"

Jiang Xu was also silent for a long time before he said: "However, my brother feels that Zhengxi doesn't seem to know the origin of the 'Old Qin Ling'...... It seems to have been obtained by chance, and it was placed on the table at will......"

"Hah!" Yang Fu couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said, "Occasionally? Bo Yimo wants to joke, this thing is not trivial, how can it be obtained by chance...... Really? This...... This...... It's really ......"

Yang Fu and Jiang Xu glanced at each other and couldn't help but sigh in unison.
