Chapter 17 The Qingyang Conference
"What do you think about this?"
Beigong Boyu was still sitting at the head of the throne and said to the leaders below.
Ever since he decided to sue for peace, he sacrificed his daughter without drinking a single drop of wine.
Because this matter is related to the survival of several tribes, even if he feels shameless to take the position of leader again, he must solve this matter.
"Go ahead, is Qin Hua really going to kill us?"
Said the leader of the Aries tribe.
Later, the news about the Qingyang tribe also reached their ears, and they knew that the Han army did not want to slaughter the Qiang people, and even some Han soldiers were beheaded by Qin Hua when they did something to the Qiang people.
"What did you say?"
This time it was the sturdy leader who spoke, and he had always admired Beigong Che's bravery, so he wanted to hear his opinion.
Beigong Boyu's face was complicated, he also didn't expect Beigong Che to surrender to Qin Hua.
"Beigong Che said that he swore to the gods that he was willing to use his life to ensure the safety of the leaders to Qingyang City."
Beigong Boyu had just finished speaking, and there was another discussion below.
"I agree to go."
"I agree."
"Qin Hua's plan to build Qingyang City is not small, and I also want to see what he wants to do."
...
Seeing that all the leaders agreed, Beigong Boyu also announced that they would go to Qingyang City together the day after tomorrow.
As for why they waited one more day, it was actually to prepare for these leaders, or to explain the aftermath, after all, no one knew what would happen on this trip.
Each leader brought more than ten horsemen to escort, so that the team also had hundreds of people.
When the group arrived at Qingyang City, they found that it was already on a rough scale.
It is impossible to build a tall stone city wall on the grassland in a short period of time, so the city wall of Qingyang City is based on some stones, and more of it is built with mud.
Now the ring of walls is almost three meters high.
The people who built it were basically Qiang prisoners, and the Han army supervised the work on the side.
Unlike what the leaders imagined, the working atmosphere here is quite harmonious, and there is no lazy strike by the Qiang people, and there is no Han sergeant holding a whip to beat and scold on the side.
In the city, there are rows of brick houses, like people inquired about it, only to know that Qin Hua had built a brick kiln near Qingyang City to burn bricks and stones.
Most of the houses in the city are still under construction, but a few have been completed, some for furs and various meats, and some for the sale of grain and cloth.
When they came to the city, they found that there was no building at all, only a large camp on the march.
Qin Hua was standing at the gate of the camp at this time, waiting for everyone.
"Chiefs, please come in."
Qin Hua made a gesture of invitation, and led everyone to the big tent, and Beigong Che consciously walked behind Qin Hua to take on the role of a guard.
came to the big tent and sat down, Qin Hua asked people to bring the wine and food, raised the wine glass and toasted to everyone.
The leaders hesitated, but finally drank the drink.
"How? Are you satisfied with this kind of Han wine? ”
The leaders didn't expect Qin Hua to suddenly ask this question, and one of the Qiang leaders replied: "The wine is mellow and strong, it is good wine." ”
"So if I put him for sale in this Qingyang City, will anyone buy it?"
Another Qiang replied: "If the price is not too expensive, I am willing to buy it." But wine is not a necessity except for winter, and if the tribe does not have enough food, how can there be spare money to buy wine. ”
The chief's tribe had encountered wolves before, hundreds of sheep had been removed, and thousands more had been bitten to death, which was a very heavy loss.
"I think you all have a lot of cattle, sheep and horses in your tribe."
As soon as Qin Hua's words were finished, the faces of the leaders changed, this kid wouldn't be ready for the lion to open his mouth.
"Would you like to exchange these things for food like rice and flour?"
Of course, Qin Hua didn't want to ask them for anything, but he was talking about trade.
"The same weight of rice and noodles is much more durable than meat, so even if there is a natural disaster, you don't have to worry about the lack of food, do you think it's good?"
After listening to Qin Hua's words, the leaders couldn't help but light up their eyes. Most of the reasons why they went to the Han land to plunder were because of the lack of food in the tribe, and if they could obtain food through trade, then the warriors in the tribe would not be lost.
After the tribe expands, more people will come to take refuge, but it is not a dream to become the largest tribe of the Qiang people.
Just as Qin Hua was telling the leader of the Qiang people about the benefits of Qingyang City after it was completed, suddenly one of the leader's guards unknowingly pulled out a short sword and stabbed at Qin Hua.
This time Qin Hua didn't make a move, and the person was grabbed by Beigong Che's arm.
"Beigong Che, you get out of the way."
The man said a word in the Qiang language, while seeing Beigong Che kick away.
At this moment, Qin Hua had already stood up, and he didn't expect that when he was talking about the Qiang people's plans, there would be people who wanted to assassinate.
A furious kick kicked the man away.
Qin Hua patted his sleeve and sat down again with some resentment.
"Your Excellency forgives your sins." Beigong Che saw that his guards were unfavorable, and immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Lord Qin, this person is making his own opinion, and it is definitely not what we mean."
The leaders of the Qiang tribe did not expect such a change to happen, and they opened their mouths to explain.
"That's it, that's it."
It didn't matter if she was a little beauty in Beigong before, but this time she was actually a big man.
Qin Hua decided to do something to establish his image in the minds of the Qiang people.
After this assassination, Qin Hua did not mention the matter of Qingyang City again, but brought the leaders to the school grounds.
Except for the Qiang who was guarded by the guards, Qin Hua called the guards of the Qiang leaders over.
"He's not going to be angry and want to kill us all."
A Qiang leader couldn't help but say with some worry when he saw Qin Hua gather all of them.
"Probably not, if you want to kill us, you won't gather us first, just let his soldiers do it."
Qin Hua didn't want to kill them, but returned all the weapons to them.
"I know that you are not convinced, so I will give you a chance, come up and challenge me one by one, as long as someone can defeat me, I will immediately withdraw my troops back to Jincheng County."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the leaders could react, a Qiang warrior walked in front of Qin Hua.
This person used a long scimitar, and rushed towards Qin Hua with the knife.
Wanting to test this person's strength, Qin Hua didn't use all his strength at the beginning, and after a few rounds of handing over the opponent's weapon, he found that this person's strength was far from Beigong Che.
With a gun in one hand, the opponent's scimitar will be blown away with a slight force.
Faced with the tip of the gun pointed at his throat, the man decisively admitted defeat.
Seeing this scene, the Qiang warriors were a little hesitant, this person was also a good player, and he was defeated in a few rounds.
"Why, are there no warriors among the Qiang?"
No one challenged, how could Qin Hua establish his prestige, so he ridiculed each other, and sure enough, the second challenge soon appeared.
Seeing that the Qiang people in the rear were eager to try, Qin Hua no longer retained his strength, and this time he knocked the opponent out with a spear in only three rounds.
The battle lasted from noon to afternoon, and the number of people in each challenge changed from one to two, and finally to three.
But until all the Qiang warriors were defeated, including the two tribal leaders, Qin Hua remained unscathed.
One person challenged more than 100 people in a row, but he was still able to win easily, which made the Qiang people re-understand Qin Hua's strength.
Beigong Boyu also probably knew why Beigong Che was willing to surrender to Qin Hua.
"This person's strength is not below Lu Bu in that state."
An old leader sighed.
The Qiang people don't know much about the generals of the Han Dynasty, but the most capable one is Lu Bu. It is rumored that Lu Bu once defeated a hundred-man team of Qiang people by himself, and this Qin Hua in front of him should be able to do this.
Although Qin Hua is mostly one-on-one, the Qiang warriors here are not comparable to ordinary Qiang soldiers. According to the Han Chinese, these Qiang warriors all had the strength of a captain, a ten-commander, and even a centurion in the army.
Seeing that the Qiang people were afraid, Qin Hua was very satisfied with the performance just now, it seemed that Liwei had succeeded.
So except for the person who was about to assassinate him just now, the rest of the people were placed in other camps to rest, and Qin Hua was going to talk to him about Qingyang City the next day.
