In the early morning, on the bank of the Weishui River, the Qiang camp, the leaders of the 36 tribes and tens of thousands of people under their command, knelt on the ground, facing the east, and were worshipping the rising sun devoutly!

'Worship the morning sun, worship the bright moon at night, take the white wolf as the totem, and live in the water and grass', this is the life tradition of the Qiang people for thousands of years, and for them to go out on the expedition, there is one more, 'Be proud of dying on the battlefield, and be ashamed of dying of illness in the yurt!' ’

"Great sun god, may your light shine on every Qiang person, may your divine power protect the descendants of the 'White Wolf God', collapse the war horse, pick up the bow and arrow, plunder the Han people's cities, towns, and rob the most exquisite silk, ironware, and beauties, and bless my Qiang tribe to be prosperous forever, and my descendants and I are willing to worship you forever!"

The person in charge of the officiating sacrifice is the first tribe in Xiqiang, the big chief of the white wolf department, according to the customs of the Qiang people, the big chiefs of the past dynasties have only one name~~'White wolf! ’

The Qiang people are a typical nomadic people, advocating the weak and the strong, everything depends on strength to speak, the core of the 36 departments is the white wolf, the black water, and the three divisions of Zhelan, among which the white wolf department is the most powerful, so the 'white wolf' is not only the first chief of Xiqiang, but also the leader of the 36 coalition forces, this time by Li Dao, Guo Yan's invitation, invaded Guanzhong, and plundered the Han land was promoted by him.

After the end of the greetings, the chiefs of the various ministries returned to the big tent together, discussed the details of the march, plundering the Han land, although it can bring great benefits, but also contains great danger, the war between the Han and Qiang has been a long time, but in general, the Han people pressed them Qiang people to fight, countless tribes have been slaughtered for hundreds of years, until the period of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the power of the Han Dynasty turned into decline, and they Qiang people took a breath, but the lessons of countless blood were deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Qiang people, and they were not careless at all to deal with the "Great Han"!

In the big tent, the thirty-six chiefs sat down in order according to their strength, and some servants brought freshly roasted fat sheep and cheese to everyone, as well as the wine obtained from the Han land, and the chiefs of each department pulled out short knives from their waists and began to cut food in large pieces, which was quite similar to the hunting of wolves!

The 'White Wolf' naturally sat on the throne, his fierce eyes kept scanning the big tent, since he killed the old chief, that is, his father, at the age of twenty-two, a full twenty years have passed, the tribe has grown stronger and stronger under his leadership, and his strength is stable over other tribes, and he's 'White Wolf' has also become the overlord of the Xiqiang area with his own courage and ferocity!

On the left hand side is the big chief of the 'Black Water Ministry', an old man in his sixties, such an age is definitely a long life among the nomads, similarly, this old man is also the 'first wise man in Xiqiang', he has always been known for his cunning and treachery, otherwise the Heishui Department would not have become the second largest tribe of the Qiang people, don't look at the old man who is now skinny and can be blown down by a gust of wind, when he was young, he was also a ruthless character, that is, the saber in his hand can still dance through wind and rain, and ordinary young men are not opponents!

On the right hand side is the 'Zhelan Division' chief, and it is also the only female chief in the thirty-six tribes of Xiqiang, unlike other tribes, the Zhelan Department has always practiced the ancient matrilineal clan rule, and the social status of women is extremely high, not only the position of the big chief is passed down from mother to daughter, even the leader of the troops, there are many women among the warriors who charge into battle, which can be called a real 'women's army! ’

The female chief of this generation is just eighteen years old, her name is 'Zhelan', slender eyebrows, deep eyes, high nose, shell teeth, skin Saixue, slender figure, between a smile and a smile, the soul of the people, known as the "first beauty of the West Qiang", it is said that the Qiang warriors who pursue her are enough to form an army, but she can't look at any of them, her eyes are long on the top of her head, and she is known as the "eagle in the sky does not marry!" ’

Don't think that a group of women are easy to bully, 'Zhelanbu' can be ranked as the third largest tribe in Xiqiang, naturally has its own uniqueness, first of all, it is high in appearance, Zhelanbu is known for its 'male and female appearance' in the Western Regions, especially the female babies in the tribe, one by one, the water spirit, for the leaders of the tribes to compete for, the big chief's wife of the thirty-six departments of Xiqiang is all from the 'Zhelan Department', as well as their mothers, grandmothers, grandmothers, without exception, it can be said that ' The 'Zhelanbu' is the grandmother's house of all the big chiefs, so all the tribes naturally salute them for three points!

In addition, these women are also brave and bloodthirsty on the battlefield, the two armies meet, when you hesitate a little because the opposite is a beautiful woman, the other party's saber has quickly cut your throat, especially the female archer of the 'Zhelan Department', which is known for its precision and ruthlessness, unparalleled beauty and accurate bow and arrow, this is the foundation of the Zhelan Department in Xiqiang!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Dao and Guo Yan sent a letter asking for help again, and made a promise that as long as we help him repel the enemy, then the gold, silver, jewelry, beauty, silk, and food in Chang'an City will all belong to us!" The white wolf chief took out a parchment scroll from his arms, which not only had the signatures of the two thieves, but also two bloody handprints, which were the blood oaths of the Xiliang people to show that they would never repent!

"Whew! Oh! "A strange cry suddenly sounded in the big tent, quite a wolf howling taste, Chang'an City, where the western capital of the Han Dynasty is located, was originally the second largest city after Luoyang, and now Luoyang has been destroyed in the war, Chang'an is a well-deserved boss, there is so much wealth inside, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain, this piece of meat, very fat!

"This is a good opportunity for our Qiang people to soar into the sky, the two great chiefs of Heishui and Zhelan, do you have any objections?" There was a sound of joy in the distance, but there was silence in the distance, the white wolf looked at the left and right sides, the three major departments of the Qiang people's core, if the other two did not support themselves, it would be very troublesome!

"The hunters on the grassland know that if you want to catch the fattest prey, you have to pay great hardship, Li and Guo have offered such a rich reward, the enemy must be extremely difficult to provoke, I don't know how many young men in the tribe will bleed and die!"

For the invasion of the Han land, the old chief of Heishui did not object, just like a wolf must eat sheep, plundering is their nomadic way of life, but setting the target on a giant like Chang'an made him a little worried, for fear that this move will completely anger those Han people and attract terrible revenge!

You must know that the number of Han people is dozens of times that of their Qiang people, and just stretching out a finger is enough for them to parry with all their might.

"This piece of meat is quite fat, but how do you divide it when you get it? Is it divided into thirty-six pieces equally, or is the Great White Wolf Grand Leader enjoying it alone? "Saying that, this 'Xiqiang No. 1 Beauty' reached out and pulled out a small scimitar from her waist, and fiercely cut off a large piece of bloodshot fat on the roast sheep, stuffed it into her small mouth, and ate it very sweet!

She is not one of those stupid men, seeing her prey is like a male wolf in estrus and rushing forward desperately, and as a result, she often makes a wedding dress for others in the end, she doesn't care how much wealth she has in Chang'an City, she only cares about how much she can get, that's practical!

"Old Chief Heishui, we Qiang people are the descendants of the 'White Wolf God', we should be like wolves on the grassland, chasing the fattest prey, challenging the most powerful opponents, although the Han Dynasty is big, but they are now in civil strife, just like a sick lion, there is no longer the majesty of the past, as long as our thirty-six departments work together, we will definitely be able to tear off a piece of meat on it!"

With a turn of his eyes, the white wolf stared at Zhelan on the right hand side again, for this 'Qiang people's first beauty', he has coveted it for a long time, and has sent people to the door several times to propose marriage, if the two people can become husband and wife, and then integrate the two tribes together, then he's 'white wolf department' will become the absolute overlord of the Qiang people, and no one can shake the status, even the second-ranked 'black water department' has to obediently obey orders, but unfortunately, this little girl dodges left and right, and refuses to agree to come down, which really makes him love and hate!

"As for the distribution of prey, just follow the old rules of our Qiang people, those who contribute more will get more, no matter the size of the tribe, whoever can cut off the most enemy heads will get the most spoils, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, dozens of eyes met together in the air, passing all kinds of news, the Qiang people 36 are not monolithic, there are in-laws, friends, opponents, and even blood feuds among them, the relationship is indescribable, in order to compete for grassland and water, infighting is a matter of three days and two ends, but this time everyone's opinions are finally unified --- done!

Finally, the leaders of the thirty-six tribes stood up at the same time, drew their scimitars, raised them high to the sky, and swore to march: "The great white wolf god blesses, your children and grandchildren will begin to cross the mountains, wade through the great rivers, and go to the land of the Han people to chase prey, please bless your children and grandchildren to return with a full load."
