Three Kingdoms

"Scout?"

Fei Qian felt that things were getting more and more complicated. At this moment, Fei Qian felt like encountering the fog of war in later games. Although he had surveyed the terrain before and understood the situation, after a while, without continuous inspection, it would continue to spread. The black mist covered the originally clear scene of Longyou again.

"General Qi, yes," the soldiers reported, "only one was killed, and the other four ran away..."

Fei Qian nodded and did not blame him for not being able to completely wipe out the opponent's scout team. This situation often occurred in scout encounters. After all, those who can act as scouts are usually elites and veterans. They are not so easy to catch and kill, especially when these veterans want to run away.

"Who is the other party? Does it have any identification?"

The soldier signaled to the outside of the tent: "General Qi Zhen, he should be a Qiang, but I don't know which tribe the younger one is from... There is nothing special about him... The younger one has brought the younger one..."

"Qiang people?" Fei Qian frowned.

The Hu people in Xiliang are mixed, and in addition to the Qiang and Di people, there are also some small tribes, and even the remaining people of the Dayue clan in the Western Regions. It is extremely complicated, not to mention that within the Qiang people alone, there are many small and large tribes. It's normal to not know which tribe he belongs to. After all, not every scout is Conan.

And according to convention, being able to cut off the head and report it back is already considered fulfilling one's duties. You can't ask these scouts to run back from a corpse fifty miles away, right?

Fei Qian and Jiang Ji came outside the tent and looked at the Qiang heads on the ground.

To be honest, Fei Qian's ability to identify the Qiang people is even worse than that of the scouts, especially based on the head with disheveled hair and blood-stained face and a ferocious look on his face. If Fei Qian was to identify the specific Qiang tribe, this……

It's a bit difficult.

However, there are familiar people.

Fei Qian turned his head and gestured to Jiang Ji.

Jiang Jiu understood, squatted down in front of the head, grabbed the head, and carried the head in his hands, not caring about the head's eyes that were staring like a dead fish, he looked at the marks on the ears and cheeks, and used his hands to He rubbed it and then said: "General, this may be a Qiang man in Qingyi... Look at the forehead and ears, there are some traces of dyeing..."

Fei Qian leaned forward slightly, and indeed saw that the forehead and the upper edge of the ears were blue-black in color. This color even penetrated into the deep layers of the skin, and it indeed looked like it had been soaked with some kind of dye for a long time.

Even fabrics dyed in later generations will fade, let alone the Han Dynasty? Among the Qiang people, those who like to wrap their heads with black cloth are mostly those of the Tsing Yi Qiang people.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, due to personal preferences, he is not a Qiang in Tsing Yi, but he likes to use black, so Jiang Jiong said that it is this person, it is possible, but not definitely a Qiang in Tsing Yi.

Seeing that there was no more information to be discovered, Fei Qian nodded and motioned to the soldiers to take the head and retreat. This head can be regarded as the record of the scout team and needs to be handed over to the military judge for registration...

"Qing Yi Qiang? White Horse Qiang?" Fei Qian frowned.

Is this another Qiang uprising?

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people were in turmoil again and again. In order to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people in Xiliang, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty filled up some of the remaining central troops here, and all his family assets in the treasury were destroyed. Later, On the one hand, in order to pay for Xiliang's huge military expenditures, and on the other hand, for their own extravagant expenses, they intensified their efforts to collect money, increase taxes and sell off officials, which eventually led to the Yellow Turban Uprising and accelerated the collapse of the Han Dynasty.

Xiliang is a quagmire and a large swamp.

Fei Qian didn't want to get involved before he straightened himself out and was fully prepared.

What's more, after many years of deviation from the political center and separation from central rule for too long, a small local separatist regime was formed in Xiliang with local right-wingers as the main body and Hu people as minions, such as Han Sui of Jincheng, or For example, Jiang and Yang from Tianshui are also such individuals...

In Xiliang, it is sometimes difficult to tell who is the Hu and who is the Han. The local Han tribes such as Haoyou and Qiang Di people collude with each other to form a large and loose team with a unified When the goals are set, they share common goals with the outside world, but on weekdays when there is no threat, they undermine each other and annex each other. It is really a pot of messy porridge with all the ingredients thrown in.

"General! It seems that there may be changes around you! Please order me to go to Tianshui to investigate this matter thoroughly!" Jiang Ji said with his hands in hand.

"Well..." Fei Qian pondered for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile: "Good! Zhong Yi, go back quickly, be careful on the road, you might as well bring more guards..."

Jiang Ji was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and followed the order.

Fei Qian squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Jiong's retreating figure, silent.

Although this incident happened to the Jiang family in Tianshui, Jiang Ji, or the Jiang family in Tianshui, should still be believed.

Firstly, if the Tianshui Jiang family wanted to set up a trap, there was no need to expose it before they arrived in Tianshui. Secondly, since the Jiang family participated in this matter and benefited from it, what else was there in Xiliang? Who can offer a higher price than Feiqian?

Although talking about the art of war, there is a virtual reality and a virtual reality, but Fei Qian feels that he has just swallowed Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and has not shown too much strength and minions to the outside world. There should be no one to specifically target him. It is designed based on your own personality and behavioral habits.

As for the future, it's hard to say.

Therefore, for Jiang Jiong, just be more careful and take precautions without showing anything special...

But in Xiliang now, who is behind it?

The only ones who still have the strength and are somewhat unruly are Han Sui and Ma Chao...

Well, it's very possible.

The question is what exactly did Han Sui and Ma Chao do, and what did they plan to do?

Where is their next goal?

“Come here, order Gongming to tidy up the camp, lay deer antlers, deepen the trench, and send out more sentries...” Fei Qian ordered in a deep voice, “Also, send someone with a certain assassin to invite the king of Di to come over to the camp for a banquet! "

The debate is just around the corner, and if you have not participated in this matter, or if you know anything about it, you might as well give it a try first!

…………………………

"What? Haha..." Fei Qian said with a dumb smile, "Sick?"

The soldier lowered his head and reported: "General Qi, yes... that's what the Di people said..."

Fei Qian nodded and said, "So you haven't seen King Di Ren either?"

The soldier nodded and said: "No, the little one is only in front of the stronghold... The Di people did not let the little one enter the stronghold..."

"This is interesting... Well, you go down first..." Fei Qian asked the soldiers to retreat first, then he supported his head with one hand and tapped lightly on the table with the other.

Got sick by chance?

Hu people generally have relatively strong bodies and rarely get sick in their lives. These Hu people basically don't care much about minor illnesses and pains. Moreover, according to the cultural beliefs of the Hu people, morbid and painful symptoms appear from time to time. A weak state has always been a great taboo for those in power...

So it is almost certain that this King of Di Ren must know something.

There are also Qiang sentinels in the surrounding area. This was discovered today. Have they been there before?

If so, doesn't it mean that he has been targeted for a long time?

It's only been three days of practice in Xiabian. It's amazing. How can these local snakes get in touch quietly?

So what should you do now?

Leading troops to forcefully break into the Di people's stronghold?

Wang Hu, a Di man, claimed to be ill. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid himself. On the other hand, he also wanted to stay out of the matter and observe the situation. If he really had any ill intentions, even if he did not come in person, he would send a more important subordinate to come over. It's okay to lie and cover up.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Di people are so naive that they don’t even understand this, but this possibility is extremely small. It is absolutely impossible to be the king of a tribe without some skills and skills. After all, Silly Baitian will only appear in the second In the dimension.

Then, in order to show off his bravery and stamina, Fei Qian himself should go to the meeting alone, explain his advantages and disadvantages, and strike out three times with his tiger body, making the king of Di Ren immediately bow to his feet, hugging his thighs with tears in his eyes, abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side, dragging his family with him. Dedicate yourself to the great revolutionary cause?

By the way, do the Di people have any ancient artifacts, tokens of ancestors, etc. Then these Di people can immediately kowtow like mincing garlic as soon as they see this token token, bow their heads and obey orders to catch dogs and catch dogs. Kill a chicken just kill a chicken, it's better than a fool, bleed, sweat and shed tears, never say a word, be loyal and work hard without complaining?

Give me a break.

How could the kind of storyline that would only appear in unpopular TV series in later generations appear in the Three Kingdoms, where conspiracies are rampant and cunning is rampant?

Only by preparing for the worst in advance can you get the best results.

Don't forget, we are playing away from home now, this is Xiliang, and this is the territory that belongs to these local snakes.

For these local snakes, many parts of the entire battlefield are transparent, but for Fei Qian, it is a black mist that has never been surveyed. Behind the black mist, there may be nothing, or there may be hundreds or even thousands hidden. Tens of thousands of troops...

And based on the strength of Fei Qian's troops at hand, he is not considered a strong dragon now. After all, among the soldiers in the camp, although there are many, more than 6,000, only half are regular soldiers, and about half are auxiliary soldiers. Soldiers and civilians, but these auxiliary soldiers and civilians do not have much combat effectiveness.

Among these regular soldiers, they were not all the Bingzhou veterans that Fei Qian originally brought to Hanzhong. In order to balance and make it easier to manage Hanzhong, Fei Qian left some Bingbei soldiers and took away some of the original county soldiers from Hanzhong. Therefore, overall, although there are more people now, the overall combat effectiveness is not necessarily stronger than before.

Therefore, if there is any conflict or friction with the surrounding Qiang people or Di people during this period, it is actually not an ideal situation.

etc.

Fei Qian's mind suddenly flashed and he thought of something.

Why did the Qiang people not hesitate to expose themselves and send scouts here?

It must be to confirm something?

And the biggest target here is either food and grass, or myself...

Han Sui and Ma Chao could not confirm in advance that I would definitely come to Longyou, because I was in Hanzhong before and could directly cross the Qinling Mountains back to Guanzhong. Therefore, even if my arrival was detected by Han Sui and Ma Chao, it should be an outburst. variables beyond their plans.

Therefore, they need to confirm again.

So...

If we assume that our opponents are Han Sui and Ma Chao, what are they most afraid of, or what do they most want me to do?

Coupled with the previous robbery of food and grass...

So, what should I do first?

Fei Qian lightly tapped the table a few times, and then said: "Here, please... um, please ask Ling Junhou to come..."

…………………………

In the game, the most important thing to check the changes in the black fog of war is to insert the ward.

But in reality, these eyes are the scouts sent out...

On the ridge on one side of the Bansu Pass, several soldiers were half squatting and half lying on the ground, looking around.

A soldier pulled out a piece of grass from the ground, then wiped away the soil, put the grass into his mouth, and muttered vaguely, "I haven't seen a living person for so many days. Will the young commander know?" The calculation may have been wrong..."

"Shut up, you're the only one who talks so much!" The leader slapped the soldier on the back of the head, knocking out all the grass in his mouth. "Just keep an eye on me, be careful. I missed the young commander’s important event!”

"How long! Look!" A soldier suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.

I saw some smoke and dust rising in the distance, heading here quickly...

"Quick! Get down quickly!"

In fact, there is no need to remind you. Several people on the ridge were lying on the ground, with only half of their heads exposed, staring at the several cavalrymen galloping over in the distance...

The cavalrymen were all very fast, and they arrived at the Bansu crossing in a blink of an eye.

The current cavalryman did not rush into the mountain road. Instead, he reined in his horse at the entrance of Bansu Road and scanned the surrounding situation vigilantly, his eyes moving slowly along the mountain line.

"Everyone...retract back, stop looking..."

When the chief realized that something was wrong, he immediately lowered his voice, whispered, and retracted his head.

Perhaps nothing was found. After a while, only the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. It seemed that someone entered the Bansu crossing and moved forward.

The soldier next to Shi Chang subconsciously stretched out his head to look down, but was grabbed by Shi Chang!

After a while, the sound of other horses' hooves began, and then gradually faded away.

The soldier next to Shi Chang didn't know whether he should look or not. When he quickly turned to look at Shi Chang, he saw that Shi Chang had stretched out his head and stared closely at the cavalry figure in the distance. .

"Tsk tsk..."

I only heard Chief Shi make a sound of admiration or disgust, then waved his hand and said: "Let's go, go back and report to the young commander..."
