Plateau enclaves.

As soon as Yu Buzhi walked into the enclave office, little Tom, who was sleeping in the back basket, suddenly got up, his furry paws gently pulled, pulled out a spatial crack, and gently drilled into it. When he reappeared, little Tom had already squatted on Yu Buzhi's shoulder, stretched out his little pink tongue, licked Yu Buzhi's ears a few times, meowed, and then quickly quieted down, and the little head melon rubbed against the owner's face, which was extremely intimate.

"Don't make a fuss, I'll play with you later." Yu Buzhi really doesn't have the leisure to tease Tom now, and the battle book of King Qiang is here.

"Meow." Tom stopped, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"My lord." Xu Shu and Du Jie stepped forward to salute.

"Hmm." Yu Buzhi nodded and asked Xu Shu, "The messenger is gone?" ”

"No, I found a room for him to rest. Speaking of which, the messenger also knew the lord. ”

"Who?"

"The new patriarch of Baimaqiang." Xu Shu said in a deep voice. Previously, the deer leader inadvertently captured the plateau enclave, and Bai Maqiang sneaked attack, but was bloodied by the deer leader, not only more than 1,000 people were captured, but the then patriarch was also picked by the Bai Yu soldiers on the spear as a signboard. Baimaqiang spent a lot of money to redeem the captured clansmen, and because of the agreement with Zhululing, Baimaqiang did not participate in the follow-up battle, and was scolded as a traitor by other plateau qiang. The Baimaqiang people, who were captured at that time, put out five representatives, one of whom became the new patriarch.

Yu Buzhi touched his chin: "That one, remember his name is Squid, right?" ”

"Yuyu." Xu Shu tried to hold back a smile.

"Whatever," Yu Buzhi waved his hand indifferently, "Where is Yuyu?" I just wanted to talk to him, looking at a very honest person, he became the messenger of the Qiang King so quickly, and his ability to hug his thighs is really not bad. ”

"My subordinates had a few drinks with the Yuyu patriarch at noon, he was drunk, and he estimated that he would wake up at night."

Yu Buzhi was surprised: "He dares to drink with you?" ”

"His subordinates have a little prestige in Baimaqiang, so he invited him to drink, and he drank it." Xu Shu said a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Xu is so modest, where is a little prestige, your name can stop the child's night crying, let him drink, dare not drink......" Du Jie interjected on the side. In the past, in order to deter the Qiang people, Xu Shu killed the prisoners and Liwei, and the ruthless image planted in the hearts of the Baima Qiang people is by no means something that can be faded away in a short time. Previously, Xu Shu invited Yuyu to drink, and Yuyu's trembling appearance made him feel sad when he looked at it.

"It's not that exaggerated, Yuyu's fear is actually mostly pretended, he originally took the opportunity to spy on us, and pushed the boat down the river. It's just that he underestimated the amount of alcohol I had, and seriously underestimated Ba Xiangqing's drinking strength, and persuaded me to drink it, but he drank himself down. Xu Shu said calmly, Yuyu's careful thinking was ridiculously immature in the eyes of the king-level strategists, so he planned and successfully drank Yuyu down.

"I actually drank with Yuan Zhi, I really don't know whether I live or die." Yu Buzhi laughed, Xu Shu drank so much that he definitely ranked in the top three in the deer collar, and the patriarch of Baimaqiang saw Xu Shu wearing a scribe's robe, and he looked suave, thinking that Xu Shu was not good at drinking like other scribes, and he died as a result.

"No, the guy vomited so dark that it stinks." Dujie looked disgusted.

"What's the catch?" Yu Buzhi looked at Xu Shu, Yuyu's cliché tried to be recognized, and he was killed because he drank and was killed because of the light enemy, with Xu Shu's ability, it was strange not to take out something to come out.

Xu Shu nodded and said with a solemn expression: "The situation is not good......

Yuyu was selected as the envoy of the king of Qiang, not to take the initiative to camp and hug the king of Qiang, the reason is actually very simple, he is the leader of the Qiang people who has dealt with the most Zhulu Ling, and because Baima Qiang has not participated in the war after the exchange of prisoners of war, there is relatively little blood feud with the Zhulu leader, at least he can talk well, so he was sent by the king of Qiang as a messenger.

"The Plateau Qiang has always believed that the plateau is the plateau of the Qiang people, and it is not allowed to be touched by external forces, and this concept is deep-rooted. We occupied the enclave, and the Qiang tribes in the nearby plateau rushed to besiege it, because they regarded the plateau as their own territory and could not accept the long-term existence of any foreign forces on the plateau. ”

"In the previous battle, the coalition of more than ten tribes on the plateau was defeated by us, with heavy casualties and rivers of blood, which did not let the plateau Qiang learn a lesson, but aroused the determination of all departments to avenge the shame. It's just that we won the beauty, the plateau Qiang cared about the strength of our army, did not dare to recklessly add oil, the poor logistics supply in the last war also made the Qiang people vigilant, so the private departments frequently connected, agreed to act together, the surrounding area of the migration of the clan, and completed its work in one battle. It just happens to be the turn of spring and summer, and the water and grass are abundant, which is conducive to the migration and gathering of all ethnic groups. ”

According to Yuyu, more than 50 tribes responded to the siege of the enclave, including several large tribes, and with the relocation of the tribes, the mobilization of clansmen was far better than last time. According to conservative estimates, the strength of the Qiang people is at least five times more than the last time, or even ten times ......"

"So much?" The fish is unwise, and his complexion changes drastically.

He has seen with his own eyes how hard the enclave defense battle is, the people are legendary mercenaries who surpass the elite troops, and Bai Yu is a special type of troops that will be famous in history, all elite soldiers will guard the enclave, and with the help of the fire bull array, it is not easy to hold out until the reinforcements arrive. Xu Shu said that the strength of the Qiang people may be five times that of the last time, just thinking about it, the fish is not wise, and the scalp is numb.

"Probably more." Xu Shu sighed and said with a wry smile: "The Plateau Qiang tribes are still connected, and it is not ruled out that more tribes will participate in the war in the future." What's even more troublesome is that this incident alarmed the king of Qiang......"

After Xu Shu briefly explained the information about the Qiang King dug up from Yuyu, Yu Buzhi's face became even more ugly.

Qiang people, originated from the plateau, and later successively had tribes move out of the plateau, into Longxi and Yixi counties, now the proportion of Qiang population in Longxi is getting larger and larger, and the western part of Yizhou is because of the mountains barrier, the number of Qiang people is not much. However, in general, the Qiang people are still mainly in the plateau area.

The Qiang king is elected by the patriarchs of the Qiang tribes, and usually, the Qiang king is also the patriarch of a tribe.

There are many Qiang tribes in Longxi, but there are no Qiang kings.

The king of Qiang is jointly elected by the Qiang tribes of the plateau, so the king of Qiang is actually the king elected by the Qiang of the plateau, and he is always on the plateau, but those tribes who leave the plateau and lose the right to elect also promise that the king of Qiang is the nominal co-lord of all Qiang people. The development of the Qiang tribe is uneven, a very few tribes have entered the era of settled agriculture, most of the tribes are still in a semi-wandering and semi-settled state, the most backward tribes are still living in water and grass, the tribes are inconvenient, most of the time they are immersed in self-development, the independence of the tribes is strong, the Qiang king can not control the internal affairs of the tribes, but when it comes to the overall interests of the Qiang people, the Qiang king has undoubted power.

Power, at the same time, means responsibility.

The Han Chinese entered the plateau and intended to settle down for a long time, which obviously touched the sensitive nerves of all Qiang people.

"The current Qiang King Liufei, the patriarch of Gongtang and Qiang, is low-key."

"Liufei is old, according to the plateau practice, two years later, the old Qiang King is about to abdicate, and a new king is elected, Liufei has rarely meddled in recent years, and it is clear that he will wait for a smooth transition after the expiration of his term, and he has no intention of coming out. However, several large tribes that provoked the series of leaders seemed to have the idea of electing the next king of Qiang, and wanted to use the enclave to add chips to the election two years later, so they all wanted to compete for the dominance, and no one refused to obey the patriarch of the family, and finally the tribes reached a consensus and asked the king of Qiang to come forward and lead the various departments to crusade against the Han army that invaded the plateau......"

"Liufei had no choice but to accept the requests of various tribes to participate in this matter. But after all, Liufei is scheming, and after learning that we have elite combat forces such as divine soldiers and white yu, he knows that we are not meat to be slaughtered. Moreover, Liufei heard that the lord was a prince of the Han family, and he was a well-known [Tutuo Yingjie], who was very popular, and the fight was likely to lead to a Hanqiang war, so he did not dare to immediately attack with heavy troops as those big tribal leaders wanted, and first sent people to negotiate with us to strive for a peaceful settlement of the enclave dispute......"

The above information is all from Yuyu.

Poor Yuyu didn't spy on the military situation of Zhulu Ling, but Xu Shu took out a lot of information from his mouth.

"That's it," Yu Buzhi's eyes flashed: "So, King Qiang doesn't want to fight?" ”

"If Yuyu's words are not fake, it is." Xu Shu was actually very confident in his judgment, but the matter was big, so he chose a more rigorous statement.

The Qiang King's ultimatum can actually be seen, although the attitude is tough and the wording is quite harsh, but it only asks the Zhulu Leader to give up the enclave and withdraw from the plateau, without directly starting a war, and even as many Qiang people hope, use the blood of the Han army in the enclave to pay tribute to the Qiang warriors who died in this land.

Yu Buzhi thought for a while and continued: "But whether King Qiang wants to fight or not, he has no choice in his position. ”

"Yes." Xu Shu nodded.

Liufei is old, and he is about to step down, more is better than less, and the crusade against the plateau enclave has become the next Qiang King selection competition, and Liufei doesn't want to get involved, but several candidates are infighting, pulling each other's legs, and Liufei has to stand up to preside over the overall situation, and he is worried about triggering a Hanqiang war, and his willingness to fight will inevitably be reduced.

"It is a fact that we occupy the enclave, we will not retreat, and no matter how reluctant he is, he can only go to war with us. So whether he wants to fight or not has little impact, and the best case scenario is whether we can buy more time and try to strengthen the enclave defense...... Hurry up and prepare for battle. "The fish is unwise.

The Qinggu tribe built a city, the reputation of [Tutuo Yingjie], the public opinion war launched against Yizhou Mansion not long ago, and the blood feud of the Wudang Fei Army being besieged by the Plateau Qiang...... For any reason, Yu Buzhi cannot give up the enclave, and must put aside illusions and prepare for the second round of siege by Plateau Qiang.

"I've been preparing for war." Xu Shu said calmly.

"I will go to Mianzhu again and ask the Yizhou Mansion to increase troops on the flanks of the enclave, ready to support us at any time."

"Will Liu Yan support us?" Dujie expressed doubts about the fish's unwisdom.

"Does he dare to support?" Yu Buzhi said with a smile, Liu Yan was disgraced last time, but if he has a little eyesight, he will not pull his hind legs at this juncture, and send him to Zhulu Ling for nothing, and then take the opportunity of public opinion to attack Yizhou Mansion.

"That's good." Dujie's trust in the judgment of the fish is far better than his own thick gate board, and he decisively threw Yizhou Mansion aside, and said with a smile: "By the way, the reason why the stilted building cannot be repaired has been found." ”
