Two days after the end of the fight, there was still a lot of noise in the camp of Shaodangqiang, and the triumphant and joyful tribesmen arrived, however, in the camp tent in the center of the camp, the atmosphere was very solemn.

A breakthrough was made in the interrogation of Tu Zheng, and it was the secret that leaked out of Tu Zheng's mouth that surprised Mangzhong, Ah Niu and others.

"We're in big trouble." Mangzhong said in a deep voice.

"How?"

Mangzhong's face was gloomy, the wrinkles on his forehead were twisted high, and when he saw that everyone was staring at him, he explained: "Tu Zheng is not a person, to be precise, he is just someone else's pawn." ”

Ah Niu's heart sank.

Prior to this, Chen Gongxiali discussed with a certain city lord about the invasion of Prison Sister Qiang and Burning Dangqiang, "Burning Dangqiang is rich, well-equipped with materials and equipment, and there are famous warriors like Kaza, and the comprehensive strength is almost the same as that of Sister Qiang, which should not be underestimated." In the past, the leaders of the land struggle have been very cautious in their actions, and have always been keen to plan and then act, and it is a bit unreasonable to deal with an opponent of equal strength with such fanfare as this time, and it is not ......"

Chen Gong's biggest worry was that he was born.

Mang Zhong continued in a low voice: "According to the confession of the local dispute, the military action of the prison sister Qiang against us to burn Dangqiang is not as simple as avenging the murder of the son and seeking property, but a well-planned conspiracy. In fact, Qiang, the prison sister of the leader of Tuzheng, has long secretly taken refuge in a powerful ethnic group, has been guided and protected by the leader of the ethnic group, and has helped the powerful person to do something inconvenient for herself.

"Sister Qiang has been rebellious in the Qiang world in recent years, although not all of them have been instructed by others. However, this powerful figure used the prison sister Qiang to stir up contradictions among the Qiang ethnic groups and exclude dissidents. But it is an indisputable fact. With the strength of Sister Qiang alone. and the infamous reputation of the Qiang people in the Qiang world, which should perish many times. It was only this time that the soil dispute was arrested. It is precisely because that person has always provided protection for Sister Qiang. ”

Sex is like a fiery land Kaza is furious. Tengdi stood up suddenly. He shouted in a low voice: "The old thief of the soil fight has done a lot of evil. Behind the scenes, the people who instruct the land to fight for land deserve death! Who is it? ”

Mangzhong didn't answer directly: "I don't remember." Why didn't Qiang land? ”

"Of course!" Kaza was a little puzzled. But he still answered loudly.

Hanqiang is also a large ethnic group among many Qiang tribes. Lingmo Xuande is highly respected and famous. The last time the king of Qiang was elected. Mo Xuan only succumbed to the second Qiang throne by a slight disadvantage, and missed the throne. Mo Xuanling is also anxious for justice and righteousness. The philosophy is similar. Therefore, the relationship between Hanqiang and Dangqiang is good. When Lingqiang rebelled in Liangzhou. Han Qiang also spared no effort to support the front. The first zero Qiang failed to make Hanqiang's strength suffer a lot. Although it is not as wounded as burning Dangqiang, it also hurts its vitality. The strength of the tribe is much less than that of the previous one, and it is a medium race.

Half a year ago. Tu Zheng has his eyes on Hanqiang.

After a careful plan, Sister Qiang took advantage of the opportunity of Mo Xuanling to lead the troops to go on the expedition, and the raid on the old camp of Hanqiang was successful, taking away a large number of people and livestock. This incident has caused an uproar in the Qiang world, the Hanqiang warriors swore to die with the prison sister Qiang, and several ethnic groups in Mangzhongwei also expressed their willingness to help Hanqiang sweep away the prison sister Qiang, and the local dispute also contacted several small and medium-sized ethnic groups to prepare for war.

At this time, King Qiang came forward.

Under the intervention of the king of Qiang, the prison sister Qiang spit out ninety percent of the livestock and half of the people taken from the old camp of Hanqiang—the reason why not all of them were returned was because the local dispute claimed that "when the old camp of Hanqiang was breached, there had been a fierce battle with the people left behind in Hanqiang, and the livestock and population were lost in different ways"; In exchange, Han Qiang and the ethnic groups friendly with Han Qiang promised not to take revenge on their sister Qiang for three years.

This result could not satisfy the Qiang people who were Han Qiang and the Qiang people who helped the fist, but in the end, they had to pinch their noses and admit it. Without it, the two sides are evenly matched, no one is sure to win the fight, if you do not accept mediation, the loss of all livestock and the vast majority of the tribe of Hanqiang is equivalent to rootless water, only a way to perish, although accepting mediation is inevitably a loss, but at least to maintain the integrity of the ethnic group, there is no day of re-emergence in the future.

Kazaben didn't quite understand why Mangzhong suddenly mentioned Hanqiang now, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he lost his voice: "Could it be that Sister Qiang's attack on Hanqiang was also instigated?" ”

Mangzhong didn't speak, there was a faint sadness in his eyes, and he nodded gloomily.

"Who? Who did this to you? ”

Looking at the angry Kaza, Mangzhong's eyes were cold, and two words popped out from between his teeth: "King Qiang." ”

Kaza was stunned and said in a trembling voice: Wang?! No! That's impossible! There must be a mistake! ”

The Qiang king is jointly elected by the leaders of the various Qiang ethnic groups, and is elected once every ten years.

If the clan leader wants to ascend to the throne of the Qiang King, the strength of the clan must not be too low, and the Qiang King from a weak ethnic group will face more problems and greater challenges, but whether the clan has strong strength is not the first consideration for the selection of the Qiang King, and the leader's reputation and connections are the most important! In the minds of ordinary Qiang people, the Qiang King is a symbol of justice and wisdom, and the current Qiang King is naturally no exception.

This is why Kaza felt like a ghost when he heard the news, the "benevolent and just elder" and the "treacherous and cunning villain" turned out to be the same thing, and Kaza accepted it at once

"I also hope that it is the soil dispute that is talking nonsense, but alas...... Can't be wrong. Mangzhong said in a deep voice.

"Why did King Qiang do that?" Kaza's face flushed.

At this moment, Ah Niu, who had always played the role of a qualified listener, stood up, walked to Kaza's side, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "The reason is very simple - power, the king of Qiang does not want anyone to threaten his position, and in this world, there is nothing dirtier than politics." At a time when his current position is likely to be challenged, it is only natural for him to secretly buy the infamous local dispute to work for him. To give a simple example: with the decline of Han Qiang, Xuan is no longer eligible to be the next Qiang king, and the Qiang king has one less strong competitor. ”

"Hmph, borrowing the hand of the prison sister Qiang to abolish Hanqiang, the king of Qiang not only took this opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on Mo Xuan that was difficult to recover and help his minions improve their strength, but also took the opportunity of mediation to gain a good reputation for himself, so as to have more capital when the next king of Qiang is elected. What a ruthless Qiang King! What a three-bird kill! ”

After the Hanqiang incident, Qiang asked Hanqiang and his friendly ethnic groups to promise not to retaliate against the prison sister Qiang for three years.

Kaza was speechless.

Since witnessing Ah Niu's means of resolving the Long Fei crisis, Kaza no longer doubts that Ah Niu's wisdom is a height that he can never reach. Ah Niu pointed out the motives of King Qiang to the point, and used the experience of Hanqiang Moxuanling as evidence, and successfully helped Kazha to remove the heavy clouds surrounding him and get a glimpse of the essence of the problem.

Ah Niu is still continuing: "Burning Dangqiang was targeted by the prison sister Qiang is also because of the rapid development of Burning Dangqiang in recent years, similar to the situation of Hanqiang Moxuan, the king of Qiang can endure a poor and destitute Burning Dangqiang, but he can't bear a rich and powerful Burning Dangqiang." He can give you some support in your most difficult times, but the burning of the Qiang is no longer stronger than you used to be, and it makes the Qiang king feel uneasy. ”

Mang Zhong's eyes soared, and he thought for a while: "However, we have not yet recovered to the level before the Xianlingqiang 'uprising', and there is more than one ethnic group that is stronger than us in Dangqiang, why ......?"

"The first of the two reasons is that you are showing too fast!"

A certain city lord unceremoniously interrupted Mangzhong's words, and said angrily: "You control nearly half of the foreign trade of the Qiang world, and you can see the Burning Dangqiang caravans running back and forth everywhere, and the wealth of the tribe is increasing every day, with the current trend, it is only a matter of time before the Burning Qiang becomes the most powerful ethnic group in the Qiang world!" In other words, if I were the King of Qiang, I would probably find a way to restrain you, and it would always be easier to start while you were not really strong. ”

"The second reason is purely personal speculation, that is, King Qiang is jealous of the Mangzhong brothers."

"Me?" Mangzhong was dumbfounded.

"Well, it's you, just like Mo Xuan, who is afraid of Hanqiang. The person in charge of the Heqi Chamber of Commerce once told me that since the first Qiang rebellion ...... 'uprising', the reputation of the Mangzhong brothers in the Qiang world has remained high, and this is your most valuable asset. Hehe, within half a year, successively attack Hanqiang and Burning Dangqiang, if I'm not mistaken, it should not be far from the next Qiang King Election Conference, two years? Or three years? ”

"Two years." Kaza's face was pale.

"No wonder they're in such a hurry, time is tight."

Ah Niu smiled, turned to Mangzhong Zhengrong and said: "This time unexpectedly defeated the strong with the weak, defeated the prison sister Qiang in a battle and captured Tu Zheng, and caught the other party off guard, only with Tu Zheng's big mouth that can speak, it is a huge threat to King Qiang, and the other party will not give up." Brother Mangzhong, what to do next, it is advisable to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Mangzhong was silent, and Kaza was also silent, and his face was cloudy and uncertain.

They understood what Ah Niu meant, this was a difficult choice, related to the life and death of Dangqiang, they were trapped in the situation and could not extricate themselves, whether they chose to give in or resist, it was full of risks.

After a moment, Mangzhong raised his head, and his sharpness was revealed: "Stretching out his head with a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife, there is no turning back arrow when he opens the bow, King Qiang wants to hit us and burn Dangqiang, how can he let him despise him?" Since this thin name in my mangzhong is unsettling, the election of the king of Qiang two years later, let's burn the Qiang and compete with the Gongtang Qiang where the king of Qiang is located! ”

The implication of Mangzhong's words is obviously that he has decided to completely oppose the king of Qiang.

A certain city lord smiled happily and said, "You don't have to return the big yellow crossbow that I borrowed from you this time, and any material needs can be raised, and Feng Xiang will do his best to meet them." Remember, Burning Dangqiang has always been Feng Xiang's friend, and when you need help, don't forget that you still have friends. ”

More than 2,000 sets of rhubarb crossbows were sent out at once, and his eyelids didn't blink, and Ah Niu's generosity and bearing made Mangzhong couldn't help but be moved. Burning Dangqiang, who is relatively weak in force, really needs these advanced weapons now, Mangzhong did not be polite to Ah Niu, and said: "I want a crossbow, this trick is really easy to use."

This time, we took the old nest of the soil dispute, won the young war horses, cattle and sheep, and I will send someone to pick two thousand high-grade war horses to send to Long Fei, and the right to return the favor with a little return, don't talk nonsense if you are a friend. ”

A certain city lord smiled freely, did not shirk, shrugged his shoulders and accepted.

"I gave away more than 2,000 sets of one- and two-stone rhubarb crossbows, and got 2,000 high-grade war horses, which seems to have made a lot of money. Hmm, this brother in Mangzhong...... Interesting! "To be continued,
