Ma Dai and Pang De's bad idea, Zhang Xi said that it was unacceptable, not only for his own knees, but also for a little political influence.

The general of the border pass accepted Qiang women as concubines without authorization, and he was not afraid of taboos.

Therefore, Zhang Xi sent a letter to Zhuge Liang, hoping that Zhuge Liang could send reinforcements to guard Xixian in time after the snow melted, although it would waste a little time, but it was much better than leaving the Qiang women and children in Xixian County alone.

But Zhuge Liang received, in addition to Zhang Xi's letter, there was also a joint letter from Pang De and Ma Dai, which also told about their bad idea.

After some thought, Zhuge Liang replied to the three of them together.

Zhuge Liang thinks that in fact, Ma Dai and Pang De's approach is also desirable.

It's a matter of urgency.

If the Zhangxi army in Xixian had to wait until the reinforcements sent by Zhuge Liang to Xixian arrived before setting out, it was very likely that they would not be able to intercept the main force of the five Qiang people, which would then cause these Qiang people to run back to the grassland through Di Dao.

Of course, Zhang Xi could also leave Pang De's cavalry behind, and the infantry went first, and after Zhuge Liang's reinforcements arrived in Xixian, Pang De led the cavalry to chase Zhang Xi's large army first.

But after all, there is a time difference, and there is no cavalry attack, relying on the infantry to drag those Qiang people, at most it is to gnaw a piece of meat, which is unlikely to affect the retreat speed of the Qiang people.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang felt that the practice of marrying the widow orphan daughter of the Qiang people and governing the Qiang with Qiang could be temporarily adopted.

As for whether the border general and the interracial marriage will be taboo, this score situation.

If the leaders of those Qiang tribes are still there, and there are still strong men among the Qiang people who manage them, it must be a taboo thing.

But now, all the women and children in Xixian County are Qiang, and even if they return to the grassland, there is no possibility of becoming a force, and they will only be annexed by other tribes, and there is no taboo in this case.

Of course, reporting to Zhuge Liang to know, and doing so with Zhuge Liang's consent, is not the same as doing it yourself.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's reply is to agree with Ma Dai and Pang De's approach and allow them to do this expedient measure.

As for Zhang Xi, Zhuge Liang can still know that this product is tracheitis?!

The strategy is feasible, and it doesn't matter if you Zhang Xi is not happy, you just don't accept it.

In the final analysis, these women and children are all women and children of small tribes in the Qiang people, and they do not have much influence on the grassland.

There is no need for Zhang Xi, the Yongzhou assassin, to personally go out to do this kind of thing.

In this way, after Zhuge Liang's reply arrived, Ma Dai and Pang De happily sent someone to discuss with the widows and orphans of the two Qiang tribes about marrying and taking concubines.

This thing. It really hit it off.

According to the consistent concept of the Qiang people, they are now the defeated side, and on the steppe, the defeated side can only become the slave of the victorious side.

Being able to become a concubine of a big man, and the whole clan getting rid of the status of slaves, is something that the Qiang women and children cannot ask for.

Not to mention, they also gained the right to control other slaves, which, according to the rules of the steppe, is equivalent to accepting slaves from other tribes and expanding their own tribal group.

It is nothing more than the tribal leader who has become a Han Chinese. But the problem is that this Han leader is a more powerful person than the leaders of the five Qiang tribes.

This is simply a mooncake falling from the sky.

In this way, the women and children of the two Qiang tribes suddenly trembled, and they did not need to be deliberately instructed by Ma Dai and Pang De, they themselves spontaneously began to manage other Qiang women and children, and undertook the task of patrolling safety and distributing meals.

Zhang Xi has nothing to say about this.

And with the temporary end of this matter, the heavy snow in Qinzhou has begun to slowly stop, and in the next time, if the weather is clear, seven or eight days of hard work can snow and send troops, even if the weather does not cooperate, wait for about ten days, Zhang Xi must also send troops.

Therefore, during this time, Zhang Xi began to arrange preparations for sending troops.

Pang De and Ma Dai also distinguish between the important and the important, this is originally an expedient measure, and they are military generals who eat with rice on the knife edge, so that a woman will not be dragged in the bed and unable to get up.

The three began to assign tasks and cooperate with each other, in the middle of January of the fifth year of Jianxing, Zhang Xi left the Qiang women and children of the two tribes to guard Xixian, led the troops himself, and together with Ma Dai and Pang De, they sent troops north and marched to Didao.

Three days later, Zhuge Liang in Ji County also officially sent troops, with Jiang Xu and Wu Yi as the vanguard, the soldiers were divided into two routes, passed through Luomen, and went straight to Nan'an County to govern Dao County.

At this time, the five Qiang tribes did not realize that the Han people had marched.

At this time, they are still busy suspicious of each other and fighting with each other.

Heavy snow blocked the road, resulting in the five Qiang people having to spend the winter in Nan'an County, which was an away battle, and it was impossible to detect the latest movements of the Han army through detailed work.

And the scout thing, in the winter, can be scattered for more than ten miles at most. Before the Han army approached the Dao, they could not have noticed.

Another one, in today's Nan'an County, it is not stable.

The sky cleared, the snow melted, and some of the leaders of the small tribes of the Qiang people began to become ready to move.

Before the heavy snow closed the road, everyone had no choice, and most of the food was also in the hands of the leaders of the five Qiang people, in order to survive the winter, everyone could only endure it.

But now, as long as you pass through Di Dao behind the Dao, you can return to the grassland, and people don't talk about the bastards of the previous five departments using their own people as stepping stones, shouldn't there be an explanation?!

Now I'm really not afraid of turning my face, it's a big deal to retreat to the grassland with my subordinates.

The grassland is so big, as long as it is not a tribe adjacent to the five tribes of the Qiang people, where can you find me so easily.

Besides, although there were a lot of things looted by the troops this time, a batch was lost under the city of Ji County, and another batch was lost under the city of Xixian County, and there was really nothing left for a large number of winters.

Even if you return to the grassland, everyone needs to recuperate for a while, take advantage of the spring to warm up, graze cattle and sheep, and it is not so easy to start a war again.

Therefore, some small and medium-sized tribes united and began to fight against the five tribes of the Qiang people.

It's not that they want to get justice for the other tribes, the Qiang people are not so united, and they are not so kind.

The purpose of these small and medium-sized tribes is to divide up the women and children, cattle and sheep of those tribes who have lost their strong men and leaders. You can't let your five tribes take advantage of everything, right?!

This time, everyone has contributed, and we can't do no good.

Seriously, at this time, if the leaders of the five major tribes of the Qiang people can have some foresight and promise to share some benefits to these small and medium-sized tribes, then this matter will be over, and maybe they can buy the hearts of several small and medium-sized tribes.

But the problem is that none of the five leaders of the Qiang people are willing to spit out the meat that has been eaten in their mouths.

In this Qiang rebellion, the leaders of the five tribes were the instigators, and under all kinds of mistakes, they made a great noise.

Now, although they have been defeated and retreated to Nan'an County, the main force of the five Qiang people has not suffered much loss, but has made a lot of money by annexing the women, children, cattle and sheep of other tribes. How can the ambitions of these people be so easily satisfied?!

The leaders of these five tribes are now unaccustomed to each other, thinking about how to weaken the strength of the other four, and how can they choose to take the initiative to make concessions to a group of small and medium-sized tribes.

I gave in, and the other four didn't give in, didn't it weaken my strength in vain, and enhanced the strength of the other four in disguise.

Therefore, the contradictions within the Qiang people reached their peak at this moment.

The Qiang people, who should have retired in time after the snow melted, are now busy in Nan'an County, quarreling, suspicious, guarding against each other, and even fighting among themselves for the interests of various departments.

At this time, Zhang Xi had already led the Xixian infantry into Nan'an County, and the cavalry led by Pang De had already gone straight to the west of the Dao, preparing to block Di Dao.

A few days later, when Zhang Xi led his troops close to the Dao, he reported that there were still a large number of Qiang people gathered in several counties near the Dao, and there was no sign of evacuation.

Zhang Xi was immediately overjoyed, which can be regarded as blocked.

The next thing Zhang Xi had to do was to bypass the Dao, move to the west of the Dao, join the cavalry of Pang De's department, and completely block the Di Dao.

The rest can be handed over to the main army led by Zhuge Liang.

But. Something happened anyway.

When Zhang Xi led the troops and continued to advance westward around Qidao County, he suddenly found that a group of Qiang people suddenly appeared in front of him.

This group of people did not come to stop Zhang Xi, on the contrary, they came to surrender to Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi, that's a wonder, what the hell is going on?!

The Qiang people have discovered their whereabouts?!

This is not right, if they found out their whereabouts and purpose, why would these two Qiang tribes say that they are here to surrender?!

Zhang Xi didn't understand, but no matter what, the Qiang people were right in front of him, and he knew the truth as soon as he asked.

Then, Zhang Xi roughly understood what was going on.

This group of Qiang people is actually a combination of two medium-sized tribes, and the number of people brought is not much, and the two tribes together only have more than 1,000 strong men and more than 3,000 women and children.

In fact, these people did not discover Zhang Xi's marching route and came to surrender on purpose.

In desperation, in order to save the tribe, they had to go out of the city to find other places to settle down, and scavenged for food to return to the grassland.

As a result, he ran into Zhang Xi's army headlong.

The two tribal leaders were shocked when they saw the Han army appear in front of them, and then looked at the scale of the thousands of people on the opposite side, and immediately understood that they would definitely not be able to defeat them, and they probably couldn't escape.

The brains of these two tribal leaders are okay, and they ponder back and forth if they go back to report the news, they may not be used as stepping stones again, even if they return to the grassland alive, it is estimated that there will be only a few people left.

It's better to surrender directly to the Han army.

Anyway, they didn't start this rebellion, they were accomplices at best.

Moreover, the winter has passed, surrendering to the Han people in exchange for forgiveness, and there is no chance to return to the grassland.

For the Qiang people, there is no concept of a country, and they have always been who is strong and listens to whom, and they choose to surrender at this time, and when they lead the party, there is no burden at all.

Therefore, the two chose to surrender in person, and told Zhang Xi too much information about the Qiang people in Nan'an County.

As for Zhang Xi, after learning the information about the infighting among the Qiang people in Nan'an County, he also pondered for a long time, found Ma Dai, and the two of them summed it up.

After discussing it, the two felt that these Qiang people didn't seem to be telling lies, and the information should be credible.

In this case, Zhang Xi ordered to recall the 3,000 cavalry under Pang De's department, and the whole army turned around and sent troops to Dao County.

If such a good opportunity is not used, it will be troublesome to wait for the Qiang people to reunite under external pressure!!
