The entire Longyou was originally the settlement of Qiangdi.

The Book of Poetry and Shang Song have a record: In the past, there was a soup, since the other side of the Qiang, don't dare not come to enjoy, don't dare not come to the king......

More than 1,000 years ago, there were many Qiang vassal armies in the Zhou army.

Five hundred years ago, Qin destroyed the Yiqu State and placed two counties in Longxi and Beidi.

Later, it was divided into Tianshui, Nan'an, Guangwei and other counties from Longxi.

The Qiang people have lived on this land for generations and are also subject to the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

After coming to Longxi, Yang Zheng even felt that the Qiang people were actually a branch of the Han people, but they were scattered in the southwest of the Yellow River, and they gradually formed a regional isolation.

Now it is definitely not possible to rush back to Caohan to find Jiang Faye in Hexi, it is too far.

Yang Zheng could only look at Minshan Mountain opposite Lintao.

It is also a large settlement of the Qiang people.

The Han Dynasty once set up a southern governor to govern the Qiang people near Lintao.

Yang Zheng divided 20 cavalry and asked them to bring their wounded brother back to Caohan, and he himself led more than 300 cavalry south.

Passing through the periphery of Fengzhong, I saw that the Shu people had already surrounded the water.

Fengzhong is a high valley, back to Longma Mountain, the clear spring on the mountain flows down, there is the sound of Fengfeng, so the name is Fengzhong.

There are mountains, waters, forests and stones, which are naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent place to camp troops near Longma Mountain.

Xiahou Ba can't shrink out, and it shouldn't be difficult to keep it for ten days and a half months.

It seems that the Shu army is not in a hurry to attack.

Yang Zheng has always been very confused, according to common sense, after the Shu army repelled Guo Huai, it should drive straight in, either attacking Di Dao or besieging Xiangwu.

But the Shu army has been cruising near Taoshui, and it seems that they are not in a hurry to attack.

Yang Zheng always felt what they were waiting for.

For three days and two nights, Yang Zheng was so tired that he almost fell asleep on the horse.

The war horses were also tired, and they were tired to death along the way, but this was not the time to cherish the war horses, and when he entered Houhe, Yang Zheng directly requisitioned six hundred horses in the name of Xiahou Ba.

Hou He Ling You Ying pushed back and forth, and Yang Zheng at this time could still manage these?

If Xiahou Ba falls, he will not be able to stand.

To save Xiahou Ba is to save yourself!

Yang Zheng forced the overlord to bow on the spot, and forcibly changed 600 horses with You Ying.

After replenishing water and dry food, he let You Ying go and went on the road again.

The Minshan Mountains stretch from western Sichuan to Longnan.

Among them, there are many Qiang tribes.

Originally, I was still thinking about how to find the settlement of the Qiang people, but along the way, I encountered dozens of Qiang people who were young and strong and marched towards the mountains.

Seeing Yang Zheng's Wei Jun's costume, they were extremely vigilant.

No matter what they asked, they looked cold.

Yang Zheng's heart moved, and he ordered the soldiers to wear the armor inside, learn the customs of the Qiang people, rub some red mud on the coat, insert a few young feathers on the head, and touch some yellow mud on the forehead.

The Qiang people refer to a very broad range, and the Eastern Han Dynasty almost called the west of the Yellow River as Hu, and the south of the Yellow River as Qiang.

I don't know how many of these tribes are considered Qiang.

Even within the Qiang people, the customs and habits are very different due to the different places of residence.

Therefore, although Yang Zheng and others were dressed nondescriptly, they did not show their stuffing.

"Stop, which one are you from?" Yang Zheng stopped a group of 100 Qiang.

There are horseback riders, bull riders, donkeys and mules, and Yang Zheng also saw that several of them seemed to be pigs, very large, with incomplete degraded fangs on the side of their mouths.

But the equipment is a bit spicy to the eye.

The crooked stick was tied to a piece of iron, even if it was a spear.

Some of them don't even have iron, only sharpened bones.

It feels like a bunch of wild people going on a spring outing.

Back then, they just took these things and fought with the Han on and off for hundreds of years.

As soon as the other party saw the equipment of Yang Zheng's subordinates, he immediately scolded, "We are from the White Water Department!" ”

Yang Zheng was afraid that they would not be able to speak Chinese, but the Qiang people near Longxi had already been sinicized.

Some tribes have even forgotten their original language.

Baishuiqiang lived in the Danchang area, and this era was only a small tribe.

Danchang was at least two hundred miles away from here, how could they run so far?

If you ask directly, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the other party, but the Chinese language is broad and profound, Yang Zheng changed the way of asking, "Baishui is a small department, why did you come here?" ”

When the other party heard this, he jumped down directly from the ox and said angrily: "We, the White Water Minister, are also the people of the White Stone God, and we are protected by the God of Mountain, Water, and Fire, so why can't we come to participate in the Alliance?" ”

The Qiang tribe worships a lot, and the heavens, the earth, the mountains, the trees, and the fire are their gods.

"Huimeng?" Yang Zheng's heart moved.

Now that Wei and Shu are fighting, the Qiang people will be allied?

"Which one are you from, leave your name!" The strong man of the Qiang man came up with a bone spear.

A posture of wanting to die.

Yang Zheng arched his hand on the horse, "How offended, we are from the Wilderness Department." ”

The vast majority of Qiang people have an upright temperament, eat soft rather than hard, Yang Zheng took the initiative to reconcile, and the other party was no longer aggressive.

"The Wilderness Department on the west side of the river? No wonder you don't know about our whitewater. ”

"Since we are all the people of the White Rock God, we are brothers."

"Haha, brother, brother!"

The hundreds or so Qiang people raised all kinds of "weapons" at the same time, and all kinds of mounts under their crotches also screamed indiscriminately.

After a few words, this Bai Shuiqiang said everything that Yang Zheng should have said about pouring beans into the bamboo tube.

It turned out that the king of Qiang wanted to gather the major Qiang tribes and raise troops to rebel against Wei!

Yang Zheng suddenly understood what the Shu army was waiting for.

If the Qiang people are in chaos, the Hu people and Xianbei in Hexi will also be involved.

At that time, it is possible to reproduce the Great Qiang Rebellion of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Then the Shu army can sit on the profits of the fisherman, attack the west of the Longyou River, and get involved in Guanzhong.

Maybe this is Jiang Wei's killer feature!

Zhuge Wuhou's more than 100,000 troops can't take Longyou Guanzhong, Jiang Wei, Wang Ping, Liaohua 30,000 or 40,000 people, why the Northern Expedition?

It turns out that the real purpose is this.

Everyone thought that the threat was Wang Ping or Jiang Wei, but now it seems that the real threat is the Qiang people.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but admire the generosity of the Shu people.

Shu figures, Jiang Wanfei Yi is more focused on internal affairs, and the only person who can do this is Jiang Wei, who is proficient in Qiang affairs.

Tianshui Qilin'er is really extraordinary.

In fact, the feasibility of this strategy is very high.

There is no shortage of ambitious people of any race in any era.

The situation in Hexi is more complex and chaotic than in Longxi, the bald Xianbei, the Xiongnu, and the Qianghu live together with each other, each maintaining a certain degree of autonomy, with knives and turf in their hands, looking at the increasingly empty Hexi city, will they really be indifferent?

History has long given the answer.

Now Cao Wei has just experienced the defeat of Luogu, and Yongliang soldiers have lost seven out of ten, which is the time when the strength and morale are at their lowest.

The Qiang tribe also made great sacrifices for the war against Shu, can they have no complaints?

Yang Zheng glanced at the more than 300 soldiers around him, and the fatigue of a few days did not wear down their fighting spirit.

The sunset gradually sank between the mountains and rivers, and the sky and the earth were golden red.

Being able to live in the same era with Jiang Wei, Guo Huai, and Deng Ai, and breaking his wrists is not in vain.
