Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Alliance of Wolves and Sheep (1)
Luoshui, the camp of the Bairong tribe.
"I wonder when your country's army will arrive?" , After Wei Kai was introduced into the big tent by Ganlu Tan, the patriarch of the Bairong clan, before Wei Kai could speak, Ganlu Tan in front of him instantly changed his face, and asked with a gloomy face.
As soon as the words fell, Wei Kai, who was sitting on the side of the camp, heard the question of the patriarch of the Bairong clan gritting his teeth, and his heart instantly had a conclusion, and then with a smile in his eyes, he looked at the patriarch of the Bairong clan in front of him and did not speak.
Suddenly, Ganlu Tan looked at Wei Kai with a sneering look at him, and instantly stood up from his seat as if someone had grabbed the handle, and said: "Wei envoy, the kindness of Wei at the beginning, my Ganlu Tan has already paid it off."
When Wei Kai heard what Ganlu Tan said in front of him, he suddenly had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show a little bit of color on his face and said: "My Wang Shi of Great Wei will be able to arrive in less than three days, I don't know if the Ganlu Tan patriarch is ready?" ”
After Wei Kai finished speaking, he then pretended to be thirsty and drank the tea in front of him, but his eyes kept sweeping back and forth on the Bairong Clan's Ganlu Tan who was not far away.
After all, although he didn't say it directly, Wei Kai could figure out the eagerness of the enemy camp by the Luoshui River for the arrival of the Wei envoy.
However, now it seems that it is not so much that the grassland countries are very anxious about the delay in the arrival of the Wei State, but that the Bai Rong clan is impatient and impatient for the alliance of the Wei State, and the proximity of the Bai Rong patriarch in front of him just now seems to be unself-promising, which makes Wei Kai feel that there may be a lot of hidden secrets.
"That's good, that's good...", Ganlu Tan, who originally thought that the things in his heart had been seen through, heard Wei Kai say at this time that the army of Wei would arrive soon, and he suddenly exhaled in his heart. After all, as long as the Wei army arrives, the Bairong clan does not have to bear the responsibility of the unfavorable dispatch of the grassland countries, and the Bairong clan also has the opportunity to deal with the king of Yiqu.
However, thinking that the Wei envoy did not feel half guilty about Wei Guo's failure to attend the appointment on time just now, but had a faint intention of coercing himself, Ganlu Tan's heart suddenly became sad again.
Alas, it is really a Wei country, and it is also a Wei country, Ganlu Tan suddenly sighed in his heart. It turned out that in the process of fighting for hegemony in the land west of the river, Wei and Qin were also planning the grassland land in the north.
After all, although the land of Hexi has been alternating between the Qin and Jin kingdoms for nearly a hundred years, a large number of people from the Central Plains near the Diaoyin area are scarce, and they are actually occupied by the people of the grassland.
When Wu Qi was ordered by the Marquis Wu of Wei to attack Qin, he also saw the advantages of the people of the grassland fighting on horsemen, which was different from the chariots of the Central Plains.
So there was a way of fighting modeled on the grassland rangers, and tried to establish a set of cavalry tactics belonging to Wei in Hexi, and further expanded Wei's control in Hexi, but unfortunately Wu Qi was forced to flee shortly after defeating Qin, and all Wu Qi's ideas about Hexi came to naught.
Moreover, since the Wu Qi period, the Hexi land has gradually changed from an offensive to a defensive posture, coupled with the fact that the countries around the Wei State have changed into powerful countries in turn, so that the Wei State has to focus on the Yellow River Valley, so the Hexi Wei army can only control the large area of Wei land west of the Great River based on the cities built during the Wu Qi period.
However, Wu Qi's idea of building a steppe-style Wei cavalry, although it was not implemented, but its idea of using the grassland tribes was inherited by Gongsun Acne, who advocated diplomatic warfare.
And the Bairong tribe is the pro-Wei faction on the grassland, not just because the Bairong tribe has a lot of business dealings with the Wei State, and there are not many tribes on the grassland that trade with the Wei State, after all, who makes the Wei State the strongest country in the world, the people of the grassland can always sell at a high price in the Wei State, and more importantly, it is Bai Yuer's mother.
At the beginning, the three families of Wei, Zhao, and Han were divided, and for the people of the original lord and Jin family, it can be said that they were all killed, leaving no room for them.
After all, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Jinggong, was driven out of the palace and abolished as a concubine in full view of everyone, and later after being moved to Tunliu, he was also killed by the assassins sent by Korea, and those concubines and princesses of the Jin family ended up even more miserable.
And Bai Yu'er's mother is the princess who fled to Qin in the Jin family, after all, although there is constant friction between Qin and Jin, they are also generations of marriages, and they have the friendship of Qin and Jin.
It's a pity that the Qin State was also in the midst of the Fourth Rebellion, and it was too busy to take care of itself, and the surrounding subjugated grassland tribes repeatedly entered the country to make trouble, and Bai Yu'er's mother was taken captive by the son of the Bairong patriarch, who is now the Bairong patriarch Gan Lude, in the process of fleeing.
For capturing such a moving trophy, Gan Lude was of course reluctant at that time, but Gan Lude, the patriarch of Bairong, did not expect that his spring breeze would become the source of the Bairong clan's grief in the future.
After all, the people of the Jin family are the people who want to be killed by the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao and Han, although the Bairong clan is not said to be the head of the Jin family, but they also indirectly saved the lives of these people and destroyed the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, and these things also happened to be known to Gongsun Acne, who was looking for the puppet of Wei in the grassland, so what happened later.
"Patriarch Bairong, when will we go to your camp and convey to you what is coming soon?" , Wei Kai looked at the Bairong Patriarch Ganlu Tan in front of him, whose face had been cloudy since just now, and suddenly made a tentative speech to verify the doubts he had since he entered the account just now.
"Ah..., Wei Envoy...", was thinking about what he should do if Wei Guo threatened him next time, and suddenly heard what Wei Kai said, his face changed suddenly, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Wei Envoy is tired from the journey, and it is not too late, it is better to bathe and rest in my Bairong tent first, and then go to the camp tomorrow after the matter of the alliance, which also shows the sincerity of Wei State, I don't know what Wei Envoy wants?" ”
When Wei Kai heard Ganlu Tan's words, he immediately felt happy in his heart, it seemed that there was a gap between the various clans in the grassland in the Luoshui enemy camp that he had guessed, and he was afraid that it was true.
After all, Sahan's overjoyed expression at the beginning made Wei Kai very surprised, you must know that if the grassland countries were welcoming the Wei envoy, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Bairong tribe would not say: "Our clan has been saved".
Moreover, it was the eight countries of the steppe that were allied with the Wei State, but after arriving at the camp, the Bairong tribe did not extend the news of the arrival of the Wei envoy, but took Wei Kai directly to the Bairong camp, and now the Bairong patriarch Ganlu Tan's procrastination all showed the disunity in the enemy camp.
After Wei Kai pretended to think about it, he nodded and said, "Patriarch Bai Rong's words are reasonable."
Looking at the nod of the Wei envoy in front of him, Ganlu Tan was also full of smiles, after all, the Wei envoy was now stopped in the camp by himself, and he also had time to plan well, and the signs that the Wei envoy was nodding after thinking about it just now clearly knew that he knew the deal with the Wei State, and was willing to delay a day in the Bairong clan to show the sincerity of the Wei State.
Also, this person is holding Gongsun Acne's portable token, I am afraid that it is someone close to Gongsun Acne, Gan Lu Tan thought in his heart. Although Gongsun Acne is now dead, Gan Lude knows very well in his heart that Gongsun Acne has a huge influence on the Wei Land of Hexi.
And at this time, the people of Gongsun Acne and his faction appeared in the land of Hexi, I am afraid that there are still many hidden secrets, how can Tan not know about the disputes between the power of the Wei court and the Wei State, as a close trunk road with the Wei State? If only I could plan something out of this...
However, the most important thing now is to find a way to get closer to the Wei State, Gan Lude looked at Wei Kai in front of him and thought, after all, now on the grassland, Yiqu Wang Fa, an aggressive appearance, although the Wei State brought painful memories to the Bairong people, but after all, the Wei State is a distant disaster, and the Yiqu is a near worry.
If you can rely on the Wei State, the Bai Rong tribe will not be oppressed by the Yiqu on the grassland, and may grow stronger, if Haotian is virtuous, the Bai Rong tribe can stand on the grassland, and at that time, even if the Wei State wants to oppress Bai Rong, I am afraid that it will have to be weighed, and the more Gan Lude thinks about it, the more eager he becomes.
"Lord Wei, come to my Bairong clan, how can the Bairong clan not have good wine and good meat?" , Gan Lude, who was suddenly pensive, smiled and then said cordially to Wei Kai, and without waiting for Wei Kai to answer, he shouted to the soldiers outside: "Let the sons roast fat sheep and welcome our most cordial guests", and suddenly there was a burst of jubilation outside the camp.
Wei Kai on the side saw this, of course, he was also willing to see this, after all, the more it dragged on for one day, the greater the chance of victory for the Qin army, and looking at the Bairong people who killed sheep and made rice, Wei Kai even planned to drink a few more glasses later, and then get drunk until the morning after tomorrow.
