In Longxi City, the 1,000 cavalry brought in by Oh He Yaoge has been heard from nowhere.

The gates of Longxi City have been closed, and the shouts of killing in the city are endless.

On the city wall, the defenders of the Wei army were firing at the Qiang cavalry.

The leaders of the Qiang tribes, who had no leader, hurriedly gathered together to discuss what to do next? In the absence of the king of the mischief, the main general Oh He Yaoge also seemed to be trapped in the city by the Wei army, obviously falling for Chen Tai's tricks.

Now 50,000 Qiang people are gathered under the city of Longxi, but they have lost their boss, neither advance nor retreat, I really don't know what to do?

The tribal leaders gathered together and discussed for a long time, some advocated the siege of Longxi City, and some advocated the withdrawal of troops, each with its own proposition, no one could convince anyone, and when they were completely in trouble, suddenly a sentry cavalry came to report, saying that Shu Han reinforcements were coming.

When the leaders heard that the Shu army was coming, they immediately felt that they had come to a savior, and no one was convinced of anyone at the moment, but everyone's goal was the same, that is, to follow Ma Chao's example back then, and to serve Shu Han.

Now that the Shu Han reinforcements are coming, it is better to listen to what the generals of Shu Han have to say.

Jiang Wei and Ma Dai took the lead in rushing to the Qiang army, and saw the Qiang army densely gathered outside Longxi City, so they hurriedly inquired about the current situation.

Ma Dai introduced Jiang Wei to the leaders and said: "Everyone, this is my Han Wei general Jiang Wei, who patrols Yongliang on behalf of the Han Emperor, and is also the commander of the Han army. ”

As soon as the leaders heard that it was Jiang Wei, they all came over to pay their respects.

Jiang Wei helped the leaders up and said to the leaders:

"You are all the head of the Qiang tribe, today the king is trapped in Cao Wei, and he is trapped in the middle of the plan, both of them are unpredictable in life and death, but the army has been gathered, and there can be no owner, if you can trust this general, you will be commanded by this general, do you have any opinions?"

The leaders exchanged glances with each other, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, although they were going to defect to Shu Han, but they were confused by the king and Oh He Yaoge, and did not explain the arrangements for defecting to the Han Dynasty clearly.

And this Jiang Wei was about to take over the command of the Qiang people as soon as he came up, and the leaders of the various departments were still more or less reluctant.

At the very least, you should make a promise before you are willing to hand over the military power, as the saying goes, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle.

Ma Dai saw that the leaders of the Qiang tribe hesitated, and then said:

"In the past, my brother Ma Chao once led the Qiang tribe to send troops to Tongguan, and Cao Cao, who was killed, cut his beard and abandoned his robe, what a majesty. This General Jiang Wei, both civil and military, is not under my brother Ma Chao, and only last year did he conquer the fertile land of Jiaozhou for thousands of miles, you don't have to worry, General Jiang Wei will lead you and make contributions. ”

When everyone heard that Jiang Wei had such a record, even Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai praised Jiang Wei's ability to inferiorize Ma Chao, and they were suddenly a little moved.

The Qiang people have always worshiped the strong, and except for the Midang King and Oh He Yaoge, the rest of the leaders are not worthy of each other, and it is estimated that they would rather follow Jiang Wei than listen to other leaders.

Jiang Wei saw the glint in the eyes of the leaders, and thought that if he wanted to recover this group of leaders, he had to pretend to be forced and appear in front of people to convince this group of people.

So he shouted violently, and his whole body burst into golden light.

In an instant, it shone brightly and caught the attention of all the leaders.

Jiang Wei's figure suddenly flashed, snatched the saber from the leader of the Moth Blocking Tribe, and said to him:

"Your saber is forged from steel?"

The leader of the Moth Blocking Department didn't know what Jiang Wei was going to do, so he quickly nodded and said:

"Yes, this is a treasure knife forged from stainless steel in the Western Regions!"

Jiang Wei folded his hands slightly, only to hear a crisp sound of "clang", and the knife was gently broken in two by Jiang Wei.

The leader of the Moth Blocking Department suddenly turned green with fright, never expecting that the steel knife could be broken by someone with both hands.

Jiang Wei said with a smile:

"This general folds this steel knife, as simple as breaking chopsticks, all the leaders follow this general to fight, you will definitely be able to make contributions, and in the future in the Han Dynasty, you will definitely be able to seal the official title and marquis, and be glorious for a lifetime!"

The moth cover department closed its eyes with great admiration, and first knelt down in the tunnel:

"I'm willing to obey General Jiang Wei's dispatch!"

Immediately, the leader of the same tribe also bowed down and said:

"The same department is also willing to obey General Jiang Wei's dispatch!"

Seeing that the leaders of the two major tribes expressed their willingness to obey Jiang Wei's dispatch, the leaders of the other tribes also knelt on the ground one after another, expressing their willingness to obey Jiang Wei's dispatch.

Jiang Wei hurriedly helped these leaders up one by one, and then said:

"Thanks to the trust of the leaders, this general will definitely lead the departments, lay down Longxi, and make contributions, in the future, I will return to the Han Dynasty, and my general will ask for a reward for you, and everyone will share the glory!"

Jiang Wei knows very well that this group of Qiang people has not listened to the teachings of the saints since they were children, but in fact, they have no loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and they also have no loyalty to the Great Wei, and they can be regarded as a group of mercenary people.

For them to remain united with themselves, they must give tangible benefits.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Wei came up, he drew a big cake for them, so that the leaders of the various departments could return to Han with peace of mind.

When the leaders heard that they could not only make great contributions to Longxi, but also get rewards, enjoy glory and wealth, and all of them smiled.

Seeing that the leaders were very satisfied with the pie they had drawn, Jiang Wei said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that he has fallen into Longxi City, what he is in is Chen Tai's plan to surrender, and this general wants to give Chen Tai a plan!"

"Will it be calculated?"

The leaders were a little confused.

Jiang Wei said: "You Qiang warriors are not good at attacking the city, if you want to take Longxi, I am afraid you can only besiege, but the city of Longxi is tall, and the grain and grass in the city are sufficient, and the siege is not the best way, it is best to be able to break through the city gate with a plan!" ”

The leaders of this group of Qiang tribes heard Jiang Wei speak quite reasonably, and one of them hurriedly asked:

"How do you break down the gates?"

Jiang Wei said: "I expect that if Oh He Yaoge is captured, Cao Wei will let him come out to persuade him to surrender, and then our army will pick out a pretend surrender, but in fact, take the opportunity to seize the city gate, then Longxi can be broken!" In short, we also gave Cao Wei a trick to surrender! ”

Jiang Wei explained this, and all the leaders understood Jiang Wei's plan.

After some selection, the same department was finally selected as a bait for the deception.

It didn't take long for someone in the city to shout outside the city, asking the leader of the Qiang people to come out and answer.

Jiang Wei sent the leader of the same tribe to lead 3,000 cavalry to approach the city gate.

Above the city, Longxi Taishou You Chu and the guerrilla general Chen Taiao stood at the head of the city, and the white-robed scholar Cao Zhi also followed. As Jiang Wei expected, Oh He Yaoge was tied up by Wuhua and staked on the city.

Chen Tai said loudly: "Listen to the Qiang people outside the city, your lord general He Yaoge has been captured by the Great Wei, and now he has a few words to say to you!" ”

After saying that, he pushed Oh He Yao Ge to the battlements.

He Yaoge was tightly tied, and Chen Tai was pressed against his knife in his back, and he came to the city very reluctantly, and said to the Qiang soldiers outside the city:

"Warriors, hey! …… This battle is lost! Let us return! ”

As soon as these words came out, the Qiang soldiers under the city exchanged their heads one after another, but no one answered.

He Yaoge said: "Before, the king of Midang had sent a letter, asking me to wait for each to disperse, otherwise as soon as the Great Wei Heavenly Soldiers arrived, the Qiang people would be bleeding like a river, and now this general has seen the power of the Great Wei elite soldiers, you either surrender or disperse!" ”

The various tribes of the Qiang nationality are even more discussed, and they don't know how to make a decision for a while.

Suddenly, a loud voice came.

"I'm willing to surrender to the same tribe!"

He Yaoge looked at it and saw that it was indeed the leader of the same tribe who was talking. I didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, so I turned around and said to Chen Tai:

"I've done everything you want me to do, let me go! Now people have surrendered! ”

The troops agreed to surrender, and the soldiers and horses headed for the west gate. The other tribes did not seem to want to surrender, so they turned their horses around and dispersed.

The leader of the Vatong tribe came to the gate of the city and shouted for the defenders to open the gate quickly.

Seeing that the rest of the troops had been dispersed, Longxi Taishou You Chu did not suspect him, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers defending the city to open the door.

Chen Tai thought for a moment and said to You Chu:

"You Taishou, in order to prevent fraud, it is better to send troops from the south gate first, find out whether the rest of the departments are really dispersed, and then open the city gate to welcome the Qiang soldiers into the city, in case there is fraud!"

You Chu said: "General Chen, you are too worried, tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers have all dispersed, you look at the smoke and dust in the sky, it is enough to judge, why do you need to make a detour to investigate, these thousands of people outside the city should be sincerely attached, don't be suspicious!" ”

Chen Tai saw that he couldn't say anything about You Chu, so he didn't say more.

Changshi Cao Zhi was worried, and always felt that this matter was quite strange.

So he added: "Wait, Lord Taishou, you might as well let the Qiang soldiers outside the city lay down their weapons first, and then put them into the city before it's too late!" ”
