On the night that Yueji, Yadan, and Ke 13 left, Chiting immediately summoned the clansmen, announced to them the decision to participate in the Luoyang Alliance, and asked the clansmen to hurry up and pack up and set off as soon as possible.

Most of the clansmen welcomed this decision, after all, the current life was too hard.

After the tent was dispersed, everyone was elated and returned to the tent to prepare.

On that day, the people of the Chiting tribe were busy until the middle of the night, and they all fell asleep with the yearning for a new life.

No one saw it, and a shadow flashed in the night, and he tiptoed down and rushed to the city of Xiabian, which was dozens of miles away.

******

In the dead of night, under the city of debate, the residence of the king of Qiang, Arden.

Torches the size of children's arms were lit around the house, and from time to time there was a "crackling" sound.

The current king of Qiang, Arden, sits on the main seat paved with bearskins bare. As Yamuji's brother, he has a bit of a brother's eyes as sharp as an eagle and his eyebrows are as straight as a sword, but at this time, his brows are slightly frowned, adding a bit of a gloomy look.

On the left and right sides below the main seat sit a mighty-looking Qiang man.

The Qiang man on the right hand is called Cheriji, the leader of the Hechi Division, he is about thirty years old, his head is as big as a bucket, his body is eight feet long, he has a mustache and cheeks, and he looks like a hero.

The Qiang Han on the left is short and strong, with knotted muscles, and he is Muba!

Speaking of Muba, he is an old acquaintance.

He was the first to raise 3,000 troops, but he was defeated by the hands of 500 Wei soldiers led by Jiang Wei; After barely leaving one life and escaping to the boundary of Wudu, he took refuge in Yamuji's youngest son Yarim, not wanting to lose Yalim's life when chasing Jiang Wei's family.

He still didn't want to give up, insisted on finding Yamuji's tent, and coaxed him to send a thousand fine horsemen to hunt down Jiang Wei.

didn't want Jiang Wei to be rescued by the Han general Ma Daizhi, not only retreated from the enemy alone, but also planned to kill Yamuji who was hurting people with secret arrows.

Since then, because Mu Ba has repeatedly damaged his master's life, he has gradually gained the name of "broom star" among the wolves, and he has been looked at everywhere, and no one wants to help him anymore, and he is not embarrassed for a while.

But Arden didn't care, recruited him into his wing, and reused him. Under the gratitude of Dade, Muba did his best on the road to the throne of Qiang King of Arden and made great contributions.

He himself became the patriarch of the Shanglu tribe by virtue of his merits, and is now the right-hand man of Arden, along with Cherrigi.

The three of them talked by candle today, but because Arden received the news from Chiting from Hosaku, he was quite uneasy, so Starry Night summoned two confidants to discuss countermeasures.

Cherrigi was a rough man, and when Arden had spoken roughly about the merger of Yarasuo and the Yueji tribe and the invitation of the tribes to join the alliance, he shouted in a rough voice: "They are going to deal with the White Horse people, and they didn't say they want to deal with us, so why should the king worry?" ”

Mu Ba has experienced a lot of things, and after all, he has an extra layer of heart, and shook his head and said, "Cherrigie, what you said is wrong." Yaraso is famous, Yue Ji is powerful, and the two join forces, which is the biggest threat to the king. What's more, they even invited a small tribe like Chiting, but they didn't invite our three big tribes, and the hostility was already obvious. ”

Hearing this, Arden sighed with emotion: "Yes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country." They joined forces, and there was no room for this king not to worry. If you knew this, you should have listened to the Muba brothers and exterminated Yaraso...... Hey, it's too late. Tell me what to do now. ”

Mu Ba bowed and said: "Actually, Yalasuo is an empty shelf, and there are only more than a thousand warriors in the Yue Ji Department, with the strength of the king, there is no need to take it to heart." The only thing to watch out for is Ma Chao behind them, after all, he has two thousand Xiliang Iron Horses, and his strength should not be underestimated! ”

Arden said hatefully: "This Ma Chao, I thought that he would not be able to shrink out after surrendering to Liu Bei, why did he come to this troubled water at this time, it is really hateful!" ”

Mu Ba said: "It's obviously Ma Chao, but it's Liu Bei himself behind the scenes...... The king must not be careless. ”

"Liu Bei!" Arden was shocked when he heard this, pondered for a while, and then shook his head and said: "It can't be what Liu Bei meant, I heard that the people of Shu have just been defeated in Jingzhou, and now they can't even manage Hanzhong, how can they still have the energy to manage our Wudu?" It must be that Ma Chao thinks that this king doesn't take him seriously, so he is looking for an opportunity to intervene and vent his anger. ”

At this time, Cheriji suddenly glared and said: "What are you afraid of, Yalasuo can find Ma Chao from Shu State, why can't we find help from Wei State?" ”

Mu Ba was shocked when he heard this, but he had suffered the great losses of the Wei people, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Absolutely not! I have a clansman who was moved into Guanzhong by the Wei State, and according to the news they brought back, the Wei State Chang'an has a new governor named Cao Zhen, which is really a ruthless character! ”

Arden asked: "But the tiger general who defeated the combined forces of Shu Zhang Fei and Ma Chao in the outpost battle of Wudu?" ”

"Not bad! It's this person! Mu Ba slowly bowed his head, and there was already a trace of resentment in his eyes: "This person is ruthless, not under Ma Chao." ”

He took a sip of wine, and immediately told what Wei Guocao had really seen and heard.

Originally from the Hanzhong War, there are a lot of people who participated in the wolf and Qiang were forcibly relocated to live in Guanzhong, they are very united on weekdays, and they are not afraid of the Han bullying, the government in order to keep them from causing trouble, sometimes deliberately favoritism, after a long time, gradually developed a flying and domineering character, from "do not let the Han people bully" slowly developed to "bully the Han people", the government did not dare to ask.

Until a few months ago, after Cao Zhen sat in Chang'an as the governor of Yongliang, he brutally suppressed the Qianghu people who were acting misbehaving with iron and blood - one person rebelled and killed the whole family; One is against it, and it is slaughtered, and there is no room for bargaining.

Guanzhong Qiang and Hu are shocked, they all restrain their words and deeds, and they are all holding their tails and being people.

Although the Muba people are in Wudu, the original clansmen are all in the Wei State, so they can quickly know what happened in the Guanlong area of the Wei State.

He was embarrassed, and said hatefully: "How many tribes did Xiahou Yuan slaughter our Qiang people back then? This Cao Zhen is not inferior to him at all! It can be seen that the people of Wei are not a good thing! If you bring him in, I'm afraid that the front foot will drive away the wolf, and the back foot will attract another tiger in! ”

After hearing this, Arden and Cherrigi immediately broke off the idea of looking for Wei people as backups.

Mu Ba paused for a moment, and then said: "And I heard that the Xiliang side of the Wei State is very unpeaceful, not only the Qiang people and Hu people rebelled, but also the large Han families rebelled!" It won't be long before that Cao Zhen will definitely send troops to the west, so he won't be able to take care of our Wudu. ”

I saw Arden smash his fist on the thigh, and said angrily: "In this way, you will watch Yarasuo and Yueji pull together the tribes and put this king in the air?" ”

Hearing the anger of his master, Cherrigi immediately knelt down and said, "Where did the king speak!" As long as you give an order, I, Cheriji, will immediately order the eight hundred elite horsemen in the clan, go straight to Luoyang, and cut off the heads of those thieves! ”

Arden was even angrier when he heard this: "Fart! You can beat Yue Ji, can you still beat Ma Chao? ”

Cheriji was silent, and at this time, Mu Ba suddenly had a flash of inspiration and offered a plan: "We can't cure Ma Chao, but someone can!" ”

"Oh? Don't tell me about it soon! ”

Mu Ba straightened out his thoughts and said, "Ma Chao is suspicious of Liu Bei, this matter is not a secret. The king can send people to Hanzhong to spread rumors, only saying that Ma Chao has opposing intentions. Ma Chao was under pressure and would not dare to act rashly! ”

Arden savored it for a moment, recognized the subtlety, and praised with a smile: "What a plan! ”

Mu Ba said again: "Come again, the king can send a messenger to visit Ma Chao with gifts, and praise him more in his words, which can be regarded as giving him a step down." Ma Chao has a good face, and he calls himself a hero, this time he will eat a round of hard first, and then a bowl of soft one, he will definitely lose his temper, and it is impossible to help Luoyang again! ”

"Without Ma Chao's help, what can you do with Yalasuo and Yueji? Seeing that our side is strong, the ministers will only stand by and watch, and the king just took this opportunity to defeat Yalasuo and Yueji, shock the tribes, and easily take the position of the leader of the alliance again! ”

Arden was overjoyed when he heard this, slapped Muba's shoulder heavily, and laughed, "Very good! Very good! I will wait until July 30 to lead all the people to Luoyang, and see if they have the ability to receive them! ”

After laughing for a while, the ground turned cold, and Sen Ran said: "Also, the Chiting guy disregarded the face of this king and formed an alliance with other tribes without authorization, which is really infuriating!" Cherrigi, you know what to do next, right? ”

But seeing Cherrigi sneering, he suddenly got up and left, and his back gradually disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the city.
