"Old Chief!"

The old man with a stiff figure nodded a little in the crowd's name, walked through the bonfire, and when he sat down in a short coat made of coarse cloth and animal skin, he could see his shriveled chest rise and fall slightly, and the Qiang language they spoke was extremely difficult for outsiders to understand, but in this grass hut, it was very natural.

“…… I heard that the tribesmen said that you all came to Cherrigi from all the tribes to talk about things, so come and take a look......" The old chief leaned against the adobe thatched wall, looked at the crowd and spoke, revealing his yellow to brown teeth, "......Not long ago, I heard some rumors on the grassland from the Han traders, and I just heard you talking about Ma Chao, so I came in to remind you, the Han people are cunning, there is more than one Ma Chao, and the Xianbei on the grassland is also very powerful, but it was cleaned up by the white wolf king, and it was almost wiped out. ”

A cloudy gaze swept over them, and finally landed on Cheriji, who was sitting inside on a sheet of animal skin pads and thick grass, "The burning dang has been handed over to you, but you still have to be reminded that you should be careful when fighting with the Han people." ”

Cherrigi put down his knife and smiled at the rest of the chiefs, "The old chieftain is worried about us. Then, turning his face to look, he leaned forward a little, and his bulging muscles stretched, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth: "...... Han people have a saying, if you suffer a loss, you must learn to be smarter." Cherrigi will not learn from Dongqiang, let the Han people wipe out the clan, and the white wolf king on the grassland can only gallop on the grassland, if he dares to come to this foothill, he will only be our prey. ”

"I'm already old, and the tribe is in your hands, so you still have to learn from the Han people and think about it clearly."

"I've thought it through, I, the Qiang people, can no longer be kept in captivity like sheep by others. Back then, if Beigong Boyu could play Liangzhou and take out the northwest momentum, why should we live in the mountains, first Dong Zhuo, then Han Sui, Ma Teng's generation, we will only think of us when we fight, there is no war, there is a shortage of food, go into the mountains to exterminate our tribe, and ask their court for credit, this is to treat our cattle and sheep, and if they are fat, they will be slaughtered! ”

The old man sighed: "...... Liangzhou can only feed so many people, there are too many people, we don't have food ourselves, and there are many wars with each other. ”

"That's our own business, and we need the Han people to interfere?" A drop of mutton fat fell into the bonfire, and the flames roared, shining red Cheriji's face, and he slapped his knee violently: "This mountain is our Qiang people, why do you have to look at the faces of the Han people?!" ”

When this sentence fell, the chiefs in the house began to talk one after another, and some people echoed: "What the Grand Chief of Cherrigi said is right, before the Han people confiscated Hexi, our Qiang people have lived here, and as soon as they come, they will build a city here and move the Han people, and our territory is shrinking day by day, so we can only live in the mountains." ”

"That's right! Now the Han Dynasty is in civil strife, a few days ago, I also heard that Han Sui of Jincheng was killed by Ma Teng, look at the territory they have, but they know that there is infighting, this time Liangzhou has one less big enemy, it should be time for us to take it back. A voice spoke.

"The Han people themselves are too busy now, so they simply let the chief of Cheriji be called the king of Qiang, unite the rest of the scattered tribes, and recapture Liangzhou, which belongs to the Qiang people."

In this way, in the voice of your words, it was not the old chief who finally made up his mind, but the young generation of chiefs who sat in the innermost, with a strong body and covered with beast scratches, Cherrigi stretched out his hand to stop their voices, "...... fight hard, we can't beat the Han people, even if we gather all the warriors in the clan who can fight well, there is no way to fight with the Han soldiers..... but this is the best opportunity, I Cherrigi don't want to miss it." ”

"You have to think about it." The old man spoke again.

"Old chief, I've thought very clearly. The Qiang people can only dare to fight and kill, dare to pour blood on this land, and let the Han people understand our determination to take back Liangzhou! With a clatter, the knife stabbed into the dining table, got up and walked over, patted the old man's thin shoulder, leaned down and whispered in the other person's ear: "...... and you are old, and you don't understand what we want!" ”

After a pause in the words, Cherrigi straightened up and walked back: "If you can't defeat the Han people, you have to learn their strategies, now there is a group of troops from outside the mountains who don't know where, and they are making trouble in Liangzhou, no matter what the Han Dynasty reacts to, they will come to exterminate it, the other party only has 20,000 people, and the food and soldiers are definitely not enough, I will send someone to contact them tonight, ask for the purpose, and then help them." At the same time, he also exchanged weapons and armor from these people, the warriors of the armed clan, even if Ma Chao comes again, my Qiang people are not afraid of him-"

The palm of his hand pressed on the board, and his eyes swept over everyone: "This is called borrowing!" ”

"Well..... then it's up to you."

The old chief looked at him for a while, and then he slowly got up and walked to the door with a wooden stick, and at this time, a well-proportioned, rough-skinned, wheat-colored woman came to meet the old man and called softly: "Daddy." Then he sent the other man out of the way, and then returned to the hut and sat down beside Cherrigi.

"Daddy doesn't seem to be happy."

"He doesn't like me to go to war against the Han Chinese." Cherrigi looked at his wife who was cutting the whole sheep, among the tribes, in fact, in private, there were some unpleasant words, it was rumored that he married the daughter of the old chieftain to become the chief, and he has always been a knot in his heart for the brave Cherrigi. The current chaos in Liangzhou, in many ways, he wants to prove that he is more capable than any chieftain.

His wife, Xiangda Minzhu, took a few pieces of mutton and sat back, "..... then clean up all the objections." ”

The hoarse voice sounded softly in the house, the sky outside gradually dimmed, the cold light of the stars and the moon revealed the clouds, illuminating the lush mountains below, in the green and white color, revealing the outline of the northwest mountain to the east, winding the road between the foothills, the shadow of the galloping horse galloped on the ground, and the flag planted in the wind has not been lowered.

The war report carried through the post stations on the official road, transmitted to Guanzhong and Kanto at the fastest speed, and the wolf smoke signal that had been useless for a long time was also lit on the beacon tower in the northwest, and the huge pillar of smoke constantly warned the surroundings of the situation between the starry night and day, and then went straight to the nerves of the entire crumbling Han Dynasty, making everyone get goosebumps.

The information was that he entered Yuzhou in early October, Xun Yu, who had already been asleep, jumped off the bed in shock, sat under the lamp in a thin dress and looked through the first message of entering the city, his face was expressionless, his teeth were clenched, and his cheeks were bulging, and then more people received the news of the invasion of the Great Qin people, the Yang family, the Chen family, and the Du family...... was stunned by this sudden thunder, and then the news spread from them over the mountains, across the ditches, rivers and forests, and pedestrians in the city, and spread to farther places.

Bang Bang ......

The sound of chariots and horses' hooves came and went from the street from time to time, and passers-by avoided these fast horses and messengers, and in the noisy and noisy sound, someone withdrew his gaze from the second floor of a wine shop, and the wide sleeves of the cyan border brushed the desk, and the slender fingers raised the bronze jue, and drank it boldly.

"...... next, it's time for Jia to do things." The thin corners of the lips outline a smile.

Soon after, the handsome scribe walked out of the liquor shop with a slight drunken dizziness, got into a carriage that had been waiting for him, and drove to the city, while the whole Xu was silent and watching, and secretly, someone was already operating wildly.
