Fu Mengji listened to Ganling's words, and carefully looked at the servant Gulu who cut venison with a knife, only to see that he had deep eyes and a high nose, and his complexion was pale.

This is not surprising, as far as Fu Mengji knows, some of the Xiqiang races scattered in the Qilian Mountains also have the physical characteristics of the Hu people in the Western Regions because they are interbred with the Hu people in the Western Regions, and only Feng Yiqiang, who has basically been reduced to the Han Dynasty's household Qi people, still retains the original bloodline of their ancestors.

The Qiuci subject country was originally a subject country set up in Shangjun by the emperor of the Han Dynasty in order to settle the Qiuci people who moved inward, but with the change of the times, Shangjun has long been abandoned by the Han Empire, which is declining in national power, and the former Qiuci subject country was also annihilated in the Qianghu race, and the descendants of the Qiuci people became a miscellaneous Hu in Shangjun.

This long history of the race, if it weren't for Gan Ling, who started to run Shangjun, personally mentioned it, even as an adult Feng Yiqiang, would not know it very well, so Fu Mengji secretly admired Gan Ling, who knew about Qiang Hu, in his heart.

After cutting the venison, the servant Gulu respectfully held the roasted venison on a silver plate in front of Ganling's desk, and then it was Fu Mengji, who was a guest.

The Han people also have the habit of barbecue, but it is a little different from the roasting method of the Xiongnu and the Hu people in the Western Regions, and the difference between barbecue meat is almost raw and cooked.

Obviously, this roasted deer feast adopts the roasting method of the Hu people, unlike the Han nobles who "do not get tired of eating fine and delicate", the venison roasted on the silver plate still has a trace of blood red, but Gan Ling did not care, he picked up a piece of venison with a silver knife, made a gesture of please, threw it into his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and ate it until his mouth was full of greasy.

Fu Mengji glanced at Gan Ling, smiled, and began to use a knife to cut the venison, and then stuffed it into his mouth to feast.

"Lord Fu Mengji, do you know that right now in Chang'an, the coalition forces of Ma Teng, Han Sui and Bashu have approached the city, and the general of the chariot cavalry, the rear general, and the right general in the middle of the court are busy transferring troops to resist the invasion of the coalition army?"

Gan Ling looked at his husband Mengji, who was feasting, slowly put down the knife in his hand, wiped the greasy corners of his mouth with the cloth towel on the side of the desk, and asked with a smile.

Fu Mengji also paused when he heard the sound of the knife in his hand, he glanced up at Gan Ling, slowly swallowed the chewed venison into his stomach, and then reached out and picked up the wine glass, and after pouring a sip of wine, he replied slowly:

"General Zhonglang, we are just a Qiang tribe that keeps to ourselves, these are things between you Han court nobles, Chang'an is also the capital of your Han people, we live in Feng Yi, and we have no interest in understanding and knowing."

"Oh, what if it has to do with me?"

Gan Ling raised his eyebrows, also raised the wine glass on the case, and invited Fu Mengji, who immediately returned the salute to Gan Ling, he drank another glass of wine, wiped the wine dipped in his beard casually, and said after thinking about it:

"Zhonglang will be different from others, he is a good friend of our Feng Yiqiang, if you need our help, and we can do it, of course we are willing to help."

"Very good, don't hide it, Chang'an is full of troops at this time, the war is about to break out, the imperial court issued an edict, let me lead the soldiers and horses to support, Lord Fu Mengji, are you willing to help me?"

Hearing that Gan Ling finally said his purpose, Fu Mengji also put down the knife in his hand, his face was solemn, and he was silent for a moment before saying:

"General Zhonglang, of course I am willing to help, but you also know that my brother is already old, and he only wants Feng Yiqiang to be able to live in peace in this land, and I am afraid that he is not willing to send the warriors of the tribe at this time."

Gan Ling nodded, as if Fu Mengji's answer was in his expectation, he played with the silver knife on the case, and whispered meaningfully:

"Well, I know your brother, not only is he old, but his sons have also grown up!"

As soon as he heard Gan Ling's words, Fu Mengji's face immediately became solemn.

Although Feng Yiqiang was migrated to Feng Yi and became a household under the rule of the Han Empire, they still followed the primitive tribal tradition, if the father did not have a wife, the stepmother, and the brother died to accept a widow and sister-in-law, and now Feng Yiqiang's tribal lord is old and sick, it is his brave and strong brother Fu Mengji who is acting as the tribal lord, but his nephews are also growing up one after another, and their wings are beginning to plump, and Fu Mengji, who is the younger brother of the tribal adult, has gradually become embarrassed in the tribe.

Fumonki could feel the vigilance and desire in the eyes of his nephews as they looked at him.

The Qiang tribe "is strong and divided into chieftains, weak is attached to people, and they are more violent, and they are strong in strength", Feng Yiqiang is no exception, they still advocate force, and also obey the strong, so Fu Mengji will personally come to see Ganling in Linjin City, in his heart, he is eager to get strong foreign aid, he wants his brother to die, inherit his brother's position, want to subdue his nephews who are about to move, and want to become the only leader of Feng Yiqiang!

Fu Mengji was poked in the center, and his face immediately changed. Gan Ling was not in a hurry, he was familiar with the customs of the Qianghu people, and also understood their desires, so he leisurely cut off a small piece of venison with a knife, slowly incorporated it into his mouth, and tasted the delicious taste emanating from his taste buds.

"General Zhonglang, if I can help you, can you also help me in the future and help me sit in the position of the tribe lord?"

"Of course, I've always been hesitant to lend a helping hand to my friends!"

After listening to Gan Ling's promise, Fu Mengji's face slowed down, but he was still a little relieved, and he continued to ask:

"We, Feng Yiqiang, are willing to send 1,500 cavalry to help General Zhonglang, but I don't know, who is General Zhonglang's enemy?"

Gan Ling smiled, 1,500 cavalry, this is already half of Feng Yiqiang's entire strength, not to mention that they are all cavalry, obviously Fu Mengji has decided to invest a lot in order to get the position of the tribe lord in the future.

"My righteous servants, as well as the cavalry of your tribe, are rare warriors. I promise you that I will never waste their blood at will, and our enemies? ”

Gan Ling casually picked up a piece of venison and put it in front of his eyes, his eyes were deep.

"Just like the rider and prey on the hunting ground, the strong decide life and death, and the weak are eaten by others, we naturally go to Chang'an to win victory and glory, as for who is weak, who is our enemy!"

···

Chang'an City.

"Ma Teng, Han Sui also the soldiers and horses of Yizhou, just in the west of Chang'an City, and our soldiers and horses across the Fengshui confrontation, but the wheat fields around Chang'an have been sent in advance to harvest and transport into the city, a little farther away also sent people to burn all, Liangzhou, Yizhou people and horses have no food to eat, a long time must be retreated, then we can reproduce the victory of Chencang, pursue and defeat the coalition forces of Liang and Yizhou."

Standing on the towering city wall of Chang'an, Li Yingzheng pointed out the country and talked eloquently, explaining the strategy of the army to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others.

Li Dao and the others are all battle-hardened generals, and after listening to Li Ying's plan, they were noncommittal, and Li Dao turned to ask:

"The soldiers and horses from all over Guanzhong can be dispatched to Chang'an according to the order?"

Li Ru hurriedly came out and said:

"The soldiers and horses, grain and grass from all over the Sanfu have been requisitioned according to the order, and they have rushed to Chang'an one after another, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the general Duan Xuan, Zhonglang General Ganling, and Zhonglang General Zhang Xiu, who are on the way to march."

"What about the mood of the soldiers, but are they still stable?"

Li Wei asked again, and after Li Ying glanced at Fan Chou, he said slowly:

"The morale of the officers and men in the battalion is quite stable."

When Fan Chou led the troops to rescue Huaili before, he had received the news of the fall of Huaili City before he arrived, Li Li, Gao Shuo and others proposed to return to Chang'an, but Fan Chou insisted on marching to attack Ma Teng, for which Li Li was also whipped and scolded by Fan Chou in public, so the army could only choose to attack Ma Teng's army under the power of Fan Chou.

But Ma Teng's army was stuck in Huaili City, unable to capture it in a short time, just when the two sides were in a stalemate under Huaili City, they suddenly heard that Yizhou soldiers and horses, Han Sui soldiers and horses were coming, and their own Li Dao, Guo Yan's reinforcements were still on the way, under the panic of the soldiers, Fan Chou could only burn the camp, battle equipment, baggage, and led the army to retreat lightly, during which he was also pursued by Ma Chao with troops, and lost some men and horses.

At this point, the right Fufeng war Fan Chou side was completely defeated, Liangzhou, Yizhou coalition army all the way no longer blocked, straight to Chang'an City, fortunately at this time Li Dao, Guo Yan and other people's army was finally assembled, so the two armies camped along the other bank of Fengshui, forming a confrontation situation.

After understanding these situations, Li Dao returned to the strategy of fighting with the coalition forces of Yi and Liang, in this regard, Li Ying said that it does not count, Li Ru does not count, only the most soldiers and horses under his command himself, and the second Guo Yan and Fan Chou have the power to discuss and decide.

"Right now, the coalition forces of Yizhou and Liangzhou have been killed under the city, although the three of you and I have had differences in the past, but at this moment, we urgently need to work together, let's talk about it, how do you think we can defeat the coalition forces of Yizhou and Liangzhou outside the city."

According to the scouts in front, the soldiers and horses of Yizhou and Liangzhou added up to 100,000 people one after another, although the good and bad of them were uneven, not all of them were fierce and war-resistant soldiers, but it was also a huge number, and the combined strength of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou also exceeded 100,000.

These 200,000 men and horses confronted each other along the Fengshui, if they were riding their horses by the river at this moment, looking at the past, they would see dense tents of uneven height, and the sound of fighting in the military camp and men and horses was even more full of ears.

And a war of 200,000 people is not something that can be decided overnight.

Note: Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 61, Han Ji Fifty-three: Fan Chouzhi attacked Ma Teng and Han Suiye, Li Lizhan was not very strong, and Chouzhi said: "People want to cut off your father's head, how dare you do this, I can't kill the evil!"
