At the same time that Jiang Wei, Ma Dai, Mi Wei, Pang Hong, Wei Rong, Zhao Tong, and Yang Wan were united to build a new Luoyang, and each performed his own duties to build a new Luoyang, Yueji, Yadan, and Ke 13 successively conveyed the invitation of the alliance to more than ten large and small Qiang departments such as Gudao, Fushui, Pingle Dao, Jialing Dao, Xuncheng Dao, and Qiang Dao.

Among them, the Pingle Department, the Xuncheng Department, the Qiang Dao Department and other departments because they were close to the territory of the Baima Di people, they had long suffered from the barbarism and arrogance of the strong end, and at this time, they suddenly saw that some people were willing to carry the banner of resisting the strong end, and they all expressed their willingness to participate in the alliance without thinking.

Although the rest of the Qiang tribes located north did not feel the direct threat of the Di people, they also showed great enthusiasm for the alliance for the sake of the seventy-two refining treasure swords, silk and salt.

Although the trip was hard, along the way, the three of them were very warm and thoughtful hospitality from various departments, and they all felt like they were happy.

On this day, the three of them arrived together at the Chitei Department - the last leg of the trip.

The Chiting tribe is a very small tribe, with a population of only a few hundred, and only 2,000 sheep, and it is next to each other, so it stands to reason that such a tribe will be annexed by the Yaden tribe sooner or later.

But the Chiting Department is extremely good at raising horses - more than 1,000 war horses under the command of Yamuji were raised by this department, and because the patriarch Chiting is related to Arden, he is very respectful on weekdays, and often pays tribute to horses, so although the days are hard, they can barely survive.

Today, the patriarch Chiting was very pleasantly surprised by the arrival of Yue Ji, Yadan, and Ke Shisan.

Speaking of which, back then, he and Yadan and Ke 13 were both working under the command of Yamuji, the king of Lao Qiang, and they had always been familiar with each other.

After the introduction, he knew that the remaining Kongwu man was the famous hero Yueji among the Wolf Qiang people, and he paid more respect at the moment.

These three people were rare guests, and Chiting did not dare to be careless, so he slaughtered several fat lambs to greet the three distinguished guests and their entourage who came from afar.

In the big tent, the guest host sat in a group, he personally cooked the roasted mutton, carefully controlled the heat, and took out a small number of wine to entertain, for fear that the guests would be a little dissatisfied.

The fat of the mutton can't help but overflow under the charcoal fire, and slides down the body of the mutton onto the charcoal fire, making a sound of "zi" and "zi", adding to the fire, and the fragrance of mutton is also overflowing.

When the mutton was coarsely roasted, Chiting personally used a knife to distribute the fattest leg of mutton to the most expensive guests' plates, and invited everyone to dine with a humble smile.

Yadan took a bite, frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "This mutton is also too thin, and it looks delicious." ”

He picked up the wine in front of the desk again, took a sip, and frowned even more: "This wine is sour, I'm afraid it's rancid." ”

Finally, he knew that the Chiting Department was poor and weak, and he knew that the food in front of him was already the best food they could come up with.

His mouth was a little tricky along the way, and this time the food was tasteless, so he simply put down the wine glass, smashed it, and after smashing it, he said tentatively:

"Brother Chiting, when the old King Qiang was here, I often came to your place as a guest, and every time I ate and drank spicy food, why did I not see it for more than half a year, but I mixed it into this picture?"

Chiting smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It made the Yadan brothers laugh." My tribesmen are only good at raising horses, not at war. Without the care of the old Qiang king, the days are not as good as day by day. ”

Yadan nodded, suddenly raised his eyes and said, "I won't tell you, I have lost the care of the old Qiang king, and I am often bullied by the white horse people. The eldest grandson of the old Qiang king, the eldest king of my family, Yalasuo, is thinking about the future of all the tribes, and is about to form a new alliance in Luoyang City these days, preparing to raise the strength of the whole clan to crusade against the strong end and protect the territory and the people. Are the Chiting Brothers interested in joining? ”

After that, he suddenly took out three large packages from behind him, displayed them in front of Chiting, and said: "This is a little meeting gift from the king of my family, Brother Chiting, take a look, do you still like it?" ”

Chiting crawled two steps, and took out a long black knife, five fine silks, and a bag of salt from the package.

These are the products of the Han people, and they are extremely valuable gifts, and he was greatly surprised when he saw this, and after groping for a long time, Fang Jiangxin was suspicious:

"I heard that after the Yadan brothers defected to the East Wolf Valley, their lives were not easy, how... How to ......"

Ke 13 suddenly smiled and said: "Don't hide it, brother, Yalasuo has joined forces with my general this time, so he has the confidence to fight against the White Horse people head-on!" ”

"Your general?"

"It's General Shenwei Tian, General Ma Chaoma!"

This time, Ke Shisan only said that Yalasuo joined forces with Ma Chao, not to mention that he joined forces with the Han people, but he was instructed by Jiang Wei, because Ma Chao's identity is special - the Han people regard him as a Han person, and the Qiang people regard him as a Qiang person, and he represents the Han court, which can minimize the sense of resistance in the hearts of the Qiang people.

Seeing Chiting, he suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and said, "I see!" ”

He suddenly stood up, paced from side to side, hammered his palms with his fists, and was obviously very moved.

But after a while, he frowned again and said: "Brother Ke, you have also seen that my mouth is only hundreds, and the war horses have all been taken away by Arden, and there are only more than 20 horses that can be used at the moment, such strength, I am afraid that the alliance will not look down on it." ”

Ke 13 laughed loudly: "What's wrong with no horses?" My general is going to set up a field in Luoyang, buy cattle and horses, your department is good at raising horses, and you will have to be valued by my general! Brother Chiting, think about it, when your department only needs to concentrate on serving the war horses, and you don't have to worry about hunger and aggression, isn't it much better than the current situation? ”

At this time, Yueji, who had not spoken since entering the account, patted his chest and shouted: "I, Yueji, am willing to guarantee this matter!" ”

Yue Ji, who was known for his reputation, also said the same, and Chiting immediately became suspicious, picked up the wine glass, and said with an excited expression:

"Chiting thanked the brothers and pointed out a clear path to my department......"

After a pause, a trace of indignation flashed on his face, and he said stupidly: "It's not a secret, Arden has to come to extort the war horse every month, and if it can't be worshipped, he has to take the sheep to pay for it...... If we continue like this, we will die of poverty and starvation without the White Horse people calling......"

At this time, he was full of thoughts and yearning for a new life, so he drank and ate meat unscrupulously, and his mouth was not covered, and he could not stop accusing Arden of his unrighteous behavior.

Yadan hated Arden for taking the throne of Arasso, and then scolded.

When he was full of wine and food, and saw that the matter was done, he took his leave and left.

Chiting stayed for a long time without success, so he had to personally send them out of Shili after the date of the meeting, and then turned around and returned to the village, ready to gather the people, and announced in public that they would defect to Luoyang.

******

Yue Ji led a group of entourages out of the Chiting Department for more than 20 miles, and seeing that he could no longer see a single ox or horse in the Chiting Department, he suddenly asked out loud:

"General Jiang said that he should find an opportunity to let Arden know about the alliance, but he should not be too deliberate. Right now, I've taken a long detour, and I've specially informed Chiting about the alliance, so that he should be able to know about it right away, right? ”

Yadan slowed down and said, "Brother Yueji doesn't have to worry. The Chiting Department is near the Lower Debate City, and with Arden's scheming, there is an eyeliner in the Chiting Department, but if there is any wind and grass, it will be known in an instant. When he knew about the alliance, he would definitely send a large army to stop it, so he would fall for General Jiang's plan to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

Yue Ji said: "That's the best. ”

He let out a long breath, suddenly twitched his horse's buttocks, and shouted: "Since the things explained by the general have been done, I can't wait for a long time, hurry back to prepare for war, go!" ”

The next ride is in the dust, and it gallops away. When the people saw this, they struck their horses and followed.
