Confronting more than 20,000 Qiang warriors in the river valley, Xiong Jing wanted a place to live in the winter, and what the Qiang people wanted was the rare peace of the river valley not to be disturbed by outsiders, especially not to risk being retaliated by the Qin people. Unfortunately, trouble has come to the door, and if you refuse, a war will break out between the two sides, and will you be able to win?

Around this issue, the Qiang chieftains who retreated to the rear of the army began a long debate. Some people think that the Xia people have no faith and must not be taken in, and they should fight with them and expel them from the valley; Some people think that even if they can win, they will have to pay a heavy price - the gift has already been sent at this time, and Yitong deliberately sent two sets of armor. The armor was just like the style worn by the knights of Chu Zhao, and the bronze soldiers of the Qiang people could not break through it at all.

Rather than that, it would be better to allow these people to stay temporarily and wait until the beginning of next spring to invite them to leave. As for the art of iron smelting, armor making, and boat building mentioned by the king of Chu, this is indeed something that the Qiang tribe does not have, and if you can obtain these technologies and form an alliance with the Chu people, it will be extremely beneficial to the Qiang tribes.

At this time, there was a light snow in the sky, including Xiongjing, and the two soldiers were standing in the snow waiting for the outcome of the Qiang people's argument. Although the tribes have different opinions, it is the big man on the chariot who really decides whether to fight or not to fight. He held the sword of the thorn all the time, and he kept holding it until all the chiefs had finished discussing it.

"What do you mean?" The stalker looked at him, he could only offer advice, and in the end it was Dahao who made the decision.

"The Chu people are really related to my Qiang people?" Dahao asked a question that the stalker could not imagine.

"According to the ancient books of the Xia people, the Chu people are from Emperor Yan, and Emperor Yan is the great man of the ancient Qiang people, so he does have a relationship with me. However, the Zhou people and the Qiang people also had relatives, but after entering the summer, they regarded the Qiang people as enemies. "The stalker is also a Xia person, and he has just fallen to this." The words of his relatives confuse me, and Dahao should not be gullible. ”

"Then it should be driven out of the valley." Dahao's eyes were fierce again, the other party only had more than 2,000 people, and his own side had more than 20,000 people.

"I thought so." The scavenger has lived in Qiang for a long time, and his memory of the kingdom under heaven is still stuck in Xinling Jun saving Zhao. "Let them live in the lower reaches of the valley, and give them grain and straw in exchange for armor and horses."

The art of iron smelting, armor making, and boat building is indeed important, but with the faith of the Xia people, they are all very distant things, far less than the solid armor soldiers on the Chu people and the tall dragon horses under the crotch. If the Chu people are trustworthy, they can obtain the art of iron smelting, armor making, and boat building; If the Chu people don't keep their word, then they won't get nothing.

"Warlords can also get armor and horses." For some reason, Dahao seems to really want to fight.

"The Chu people are strong and sharp, and they have unknown artifacts, but they don't loot, have you ever seen such a Xia person?" The stalker asked.

Dahao was stunned at first, and then shook his head. If it was the Qin, they would have killed and plundered and beheaded the dead, but the Chu had not. They offered gifts, hoping that they would agree to let them stay here for a short winter, and that they would be willing to pay them.

"Let them live in the lower valley for the winter." Dahao said so, and the chiefs had mixed feelings.

"The king's pawn, don't go any further." The slasher became a messenger, and he came to inform the results. "The Qiang people gave the king grain, and the king gave the Qiang people armor soldiers and war horses......"

"What about gold and silver?" The idea of the Qiang people to fight the armor and the dragon horse, this is what Xiong Jing can think of. "I don't know my husband's name yet."

"No name. If the king is inconvenient to address, he can call me. The tone of the stalker was sluggish, even if he had become a Qiang customary, he was still a Xia man. Gold and silver are naturally possible, but Dahao is willing to get the king's armor soldiers and dragon horses. ”

"Great king, they Rong Di, how can I give them armor soldiers and war horses?" There were chieftains with different opinions among the Qiang, and there were also generals and knights on Xiongjing's side who wanted to fight with them.

"The king, the minister thinks that although there are many Qiang people, they are not enough to fight." Li Qi also said. "With the combat power of our army......"

"Ten dragon horses, 100 sets of armor soldiers, and 100 catties of gold." Xiong Jing didn't give any explanation, but said. "Dahao can send someone back to Chu with me next spring to learn the art of iron smelting and armor making."

"Less." The negotiation turned into a business, and the stalker said: "Fifty dragon horses, five hundred sets of armor, and one hundred gold." ”

"Twenty-seven dragon horses, three hundred and fifteen sets of armor, and one hundred gold." Xiong Jing reported the final figures, which were the horses and armor left behind by the wounded and killed soldiers. "The rest can be obtained in Zhao State next year."

"Zhao Guo?" The scavenger was puzzled, he had been away from the Central Plains for a long time.

"Yes." Xiong Jing Road. "The sea boat of the Chu State leads to Yan Zhao, and the Zhao State has destroyed the Yan State, and everything you need can be transported to the Yan Land."

"That's exactly what happened." The stalker imagined the situation in the world, and he couldn't help but be in a trance. "Good." In a trance, he agreed to Xiong Jing's conditions, and then was carried back by the Qiang people.

"Alas!" Watching the slasher return to the battle, Li Qi said the unfinished words, "The Qiang people are Rong Di, Rong Di is not tired, if they wait for my soldiers and dragons and horses to regret it, I still need to fight with them." ”

"Fight with one, and then the Qin people know that I am here, and lead troops to attack?" Xiong Jing gave him a blank look.

"What the king said is very true, it is easy to fight with the Rong Di, and it is difficult to prevent him from telling the Qin people." Li Bo supported Xiong Jing's opinion. This place is only 500 miles away from the Qin people's Didaoyi, and less than 300 miles away from the Qin people's conquest of Baohan (now Linxia Baohan Town). As long as the Qiang people are interested, it only takes one day for the news of their own situation in the Huangshui River Valley to reach Xianyang.

While Li Bo was talking, the Qiang people on the opposite side, together with the chieftains and wizards of the various tribes, had already stepped forward, and they walked to the middle of the two armies and began to wait for Xiong Jing to step forward, which was to make a blood alliance according to the agreement, thinking that it was an oath. Although the oath of the Qiang people is different from that of the Chu people, it is much the same.

After the bloodshed, the soldiers on both sides did not retreat, but set up a meal on the spot, and the Qiang people, the chieftain and Xiong Jing and others set up a tent and set up a banquet in the shelter of the river valley. The Qiang people were landlords, and the wine and food were provided by the Qiang people, and the Chu Zhao soldiers, who had traveled more than a thousand miles, finally drank the wine.

"The king did what King Zhao Wuling did not do in the past, and shot the king of Qin, this brave martial arts." During the banquet, the stalker kept inquiring about the situation of the countries in the world, and after hearing it, he knew that the Qin State was becoming more prosperous and almost wanted to sweep the world, and the Chu Zhao knights attacked Qin from outside the fortress and shot the King of Qin, which made the Qiang chieftain very happy.

The news that King Qin was not dead was only known to Xiong Jing and a few people, and Xiang Chao drank too much barley wine and talked nonsense, telling the news that King Qin had been shot to death. Xiong Jing said: "An arrow does not mean death, maybe it is just a shot injury." The Qiang people live here, and it is too close to the Qin people, and it is ......"

The biggest difference between the Qiang people and the grassland Di people is that women can't sleep casually, nor can they show their heads casually, just now they danced a group of tribal warriors in leather armor. Dance is actually a combat skill, and in Xiong Jing's eyes, the formation combat skills of the Qiang people are not much better than Bai Yue.

"What does the king think?" Any runaway slave who runs to the Qiang land can become a great tycoon, and any slasher who runs to the Qiang land can become a strategist who influences the tribe's decision-making. There is a huge civilization gap between the Qiang land and the heavenly kingdoms. The chieftain may not value the advice of Xiong Jing and others, but the stalker values it very much.

"Maybe I can teach you to wait for a set of formations." Xiong Jing thought for a moment and said.

"Formation?" The stalker thought that Xiong Jing had some good strategy, but he didn't expect it to be a formation.

"Do you think the Qiang people are inferior to the Qin people?" He could vaguely understand Yayan, and he knew what the formation was.

"Although the Qiang people are brave, their tactics are too bad." Xiong Jing's statement is not unfounded, the mountain tribes are very brave in battle, and with the civilization level of the Qiang people, their formations and tactics are bound to be inferior. "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

"Humph!" Ju was displeased and shouted, and the banquet, which had a harmonious atmosphere, suddenly fell silent, and Fei Jing and the others, who had been on guard, were already holding their swords. "The king of Chu deceived me and the Qiang people were not brave?"

"It's not that the Qiang people are not brave, but the formation is too bad." Xiong Jing Road. "Don't think that if the Qiang people want to control the Qin people, they must relearn the formation and tactics, otherwise, there is no way to control Qin."

"I'm willing to fight you." As a great man, he was displeased with Xiong Jing's words, and the Qiang chieftains present were also displeased, and several chiefs who were originally opposed to taking in the Chu people and thought that they would cause trouble stood up, and they called themselves Erba.

"Then thirty to thirty, all with leather armor and bronze soldiers, how about it?" Xiong Jing Road. Li Bo looked uneasy, but he was unmoved.

"Okay." The Chu people relied on weapons, and if they used bronze soldiers like the Qiang warriors, the chieftains did not feel that they could not win.

"Why is the king like this?" Both sides were gathering samurai, and Li Bo was very uneasy about Xiong Jing's actions.

Before Xiong Jing could answer his question, Li Qi said, "If not, how can you be powerful?" ”

Liwei is of course Xiong Jing's consideration, but this is not the main reason. What he really thought in his heart was that the Qiang tribe in front of him was very similar to the previous Chu people, the Chu people were forced to migrate again and again by the Yin people, and they were also forced to move again and again by the Qin people, so this situation made him feel sympathetic.

Between Li Qi and Li Bo's answers, Zhuang Qujian led thirty knights forward, of course, they were not holding Yi spears, but round shields, and the huge iron short swords in their hands were also replaced by copper swords that were not very handy after the Qiang warriors arrived, and the ring armor on their bodies retreated, and the thirty people lined up in three rows to confront the Qiang warriors who had no queue.

The Qiang people rushed bravely, but they were carried by the shield, and then the bronze sword stabbed straight from under the shield, and in just one round, half of the thirty Qiang warriors fell, and the remaining half even rushed wildly knowing that they were going to die, and after lightly injuring two knights, the remaining Qiang people all fell.

"Fight again!" The results were so disparity that he asked for another battle. Of course, it is possible to fight again, but if you fight again, except for a few more knights, all thirty Qiang people will fall. However, this time because of fatigue, the knight's three-line array was rotated, not to mention the Qiang people, even the Zhao people were surprised. In battle, unless the pawn in the front row falls, the second row will always be in the back row. The front row and the back row can be reincarnated, which is equivalent to saying that the first row will always be an energetic soldier.

"How?" Xiong Jing looked at the unwilling but helpless Man, and also at the tribal chieftain who was silent and speechless, and his heart was shocked. "I don't think the Qiang people are relatives, and I am willing to help the Qiang people change the method of battle."
