Three Kingdoms
Chapter 1181 Relevant and irrelevant
"As expected..." Fei Qian listened to Ling Jie's report and nodded. After thinking for a moment, he motioned to Ling Jie to continue, "Where are the Qiang troops currently located?"
The Qiang people are scattered and without a unified system, they can easily get mixed up among them.
As Fei Qian speculated, there are indeed Qiang tribes nearby.
Ling Jie made a rough drawing on the ground with a wooden stick, and then said: "About a hundred and eighty miles northwest of our place, there is a small gathering place with about a thousand to less than two thousand people. Listen to what they said, and then About three hundred miles to the west and north, there is a Qiang gathering point here. The number of people is unknown, but there are Qingyi Qiang and Yak Qiang people, as well as some other tribes. According to estimates by subordinates, the number should be more than 5,000... …”
"Well..." Fei Qian nodded thoughtfully, "So... is there any news about Han and Ma?"
Ling Jie shook his head and said: "My subordinates asked some Qiang people, but no one knew... My subordinates were afraid of arousing suspicion among the Qiang people and did not dare to delay too long, so they came back..."
Fei Qian said: "Well, you did the right thing. No matter what military information you spy on, if it cannot be passed back, it is worthless... By the way, have you seen the Di people?"
Ling Jie thought for a moment and said firmly: "There are no Di people, only Qiang people."
Although it is often said that the Di and Qiang people do not separate families, there are still some differences between the Qiang people and the Di people, such as their attitude towards animals such as sheep, such as whether to choose burial or cremation, and there are also differences in clothing. The main difference is that around the neck, the Qiang people must have a necklace made of wool, or just a wool rope, while the Di people do not.
Even though it is just a woolen rope, for the Qiang people, this rope is their "guide rope" to guide their souls to the kingdom of God. It is their only guide to end the pain of current life and enjoy peace and happiness after death, so basically Speaking of which, it is never taken off.
So Ling Jie said he didn't see the Di people, so where did the Di people who attacked the grain and grass convoy come from?
Or could it be that this time Ling Jie just went to the gathering place of the Qiang people and did not find the gathering place of the Di people?
Or……
All kinds of thoughts came to me.
After thinking for a moment, Fei Qian nodded and asked Ling Jie to go down and rest first.
Jia Xu and Pang Tong are in Guanzhong, Li Ru is in Hanzhong, and Xun Chen is in Pingyang. Therefore, Fei Qian does not have any advisers around him now, so he can only consider all issues by himself, which inevitably makes Fei Qian a little uncomfortable.
Although Xu Huang can discuss things to some extent, Xu Huang focuses on specific battles and battlefield deployment, and does not have much experience in other aspects. Perhaps one day in the future, Xu Huang can also grow into a talent in this area, but for now, A little worse.
Fei Qian has sent three batches of messenger soldiers to Guanzhong. So far, the third batch of soldiers have not turned back, nor have they sent anyone back to report anything unusual. This means that no one has intercepted them and they have returned smoothly. To Guanzhong.
Of course, there is another possibility that the opponent is too powerful and the ambush is too good, so that not even one person can escape. However, the three batches of messengers sent by Fei Qian were not regular. The first batch and the second batch were separated by nearly a day, while the third batch was only separated from the second batch by less than an hour...
Normally, even if they are ambushed, there must be traces of fighting. Once there are traces of fighting, there must be something wrong. But now that the third batch has still not come back to warn, it can be confirmed to a certain extent that regarding their presence in Long The information on the right side can be passed to Guanzhong.
However, the situation in Longyou is still unclear. There are too many missing puzzle pieces. What is the attitude of the Qiang and Di people, or how many Qiang and Di people are involved in this matter. Han Sui and Han Sui are hiding in the dark. Where Ma Chao is and what they are planning to do are all questions that Fei Qian needs to continue to investigate.
But before that, we must first solve the problem of the Di man Wang Cong...
After all, this is the closest to Fei Qian, a larger source of threat that cannot be identified.
However, there is also too little information about the Di people. I don’t know what the leader’s personality is like or his hobbies. I still need to get in touch again...
…………………………
In the big tent of Baima Qiang, Jiang Ji and the leader of Baima Qiang sat face to face, glaring at each other.
"This matter..." Riwoji said in a deep voice, "It has nothing to do with me! It was not done by us Baima Qiang people! Whether you believe it or not, I can only tell you this!"
"It has nothing to do with you?" Jiang Ji frowned, looked at Riwoji, the leader of the White Horse Qiang, carefully, and then asked in a deep voice, "Then, old friend, tell me, who does this matter have to do with?"
Unlike Fei Qian, who had to slowly explore and investigate, the Jiang family was a common surname in Tianshui. Naturally, he had a better and stronger understanding of the surrounding situation. Therefore, after Jiang Ji arrived at Tianshui on horseback, he almost didn't stop. I found Baima Qiang again to determine what exactly happened.
The fact that Jiang Jiong can single-handedly rush to the White Horse Qiangtou does not mean that Jiang Jiong is braver, more courageous, and has the aura of the protagonist than Fei Qian, but it is a very simple reason. Jiang Jiong's current Personal value is very different from Fei Qian's personal value.
Apart from Jiang's original friendship with the Qiang people, from the perspective of personal safety and life risk, is there no risk in Jiang Jiong's behavior of attending the meeting alone?
There are still risks, but this risk is not that big. Because everyone knows that even if Jiang Ji is killed or detained to blackmail him, there will not be much gain, and he will also offend a local surname and suffer retaliation. Therefore, unless it is in some extreme cases, Under the special circumstances, Jiang Ji's personal safety is even safer when he is inside Baima Qiang than when he is wandering outside...
Feiqian is different.
If Fei Qian dares to go to the meeting alone, then he will definitely seek his own death. Everyone knows that Fei Qian has no heir at the moment, which means that after killing Fei Qian, the interest group under Fei Qian will definitely fall apart immediately in order to maintain their existing interests. Naturally, There is no need to worry about any direct blood relatives of Fei Qian coming to take revenge. Losing some reputation can be exchanged for huge profits. This kind of business is naturally very cost-effective in the eyes of many people.
Just like if the future president of the United States dares to go to a conflicting country by himself, such as Lulu or Beibangzi, without giving a public note or bringing a large number of escorts and personnel, believe it or not, the population will immediately evaporate?
Depending on the position you work in, your personal value will be different.
Jiang Jiong is now Fei Qian's hands, feet and eyeliner. Whether it is considering Jiang's future or his own official prospects, the risk of breaking into Baima Qiang alone is almost negligible to him.
Therefore, Jiang Ji's attitude towards Baima Qiang's Riwoji was also very rude. Riwoji would not do anything to him anyway.
At least they won't do anything to Jiang Ji within Baima Qiang.
Riwoji glared at Jiang Ji and said, "I don't know!"
Jiang Ji shook his head and said, "No, you must know!"
Zhiwoji snorted, stopped talking, and turned his head to the side.
"Old friend, it's my fault..." Jiang Ji suddenly said with a smile, "But as you know these days, our Jiang family fleet has been transporting grain and fodder for General Zhengxi, and we are really busy..."
"So you are all busy replacing yourselves with a batch of weapons and armor. Even the defenders of Tianshui County have the leather armor that you replaced?" Riwoki interrupted Jiang Jiong unceremoniously. Said, "Where are my goods? The sword that was promised to me and that...what..."
"Icing." Jiang Ji reminded him kindly.
"Yes!" Zhiwoji stared, and then couldn't help but licked his lips and said, "Sugar Frost... What a beautiful name, it's just Sugar Frost, and I haven't seen it at all! You have the nerve to come! I didn't chop you with a knife, you We should thank the Aries God for his tolerance and kindness!”
"Well..." Jiang Jiong said calmly, "Old friend, this is your fault..."
"Huh?" Zhiwoji couldn't react.
Jiang Jiong said calmly: "Old friend, if you want an ordinary sword, it's no problem. I'll ask people in the family to spare some for you later. Is fifty swords enough? Is eighty swords enough? If not, then One hundred!"
"ah?"
Before Riwoji could say anything, Jiang Ji quickly continued: "But in this way, your original battle knives and delicious frosting will belong to our Jiang family..."
"What?" Zhiwoji almost jumped up and shouted loudly, "No! Absolutely not!"
"Oh, let me tell you, old friend," Jiang Ji said without changing his expression and his heart not beating, "do you really think that those hundred-refined swords and the delicious frosting were all blown by the wind? Or did they fall from the sky? ?Huh? You don’t even think about it, how can such delicate and precious things be so easy to make? Just like the little lambs in your camp, they also need sweet pasture and careful care in order to grow up day by day. Is it possible? Can you just land on the ground and blow the wind, and all of them turn into big sheep?"
Zhiwoji rolled his eyes, and his attitude obviously softened a lot. He hesitated for a moment and said, "So, my goods still need some time to prepare?"
"Of course! Good things have to wait..." Jiang Ji said, "Even the rain in the sky and the grass on the ground have to wait... The only things that don't need to wait are the loess and stones. However, these don't need to be How useful is the thing you are waiting for? Old friend, you are too impatient... Or should I follow my suggestion and give you an ordinary one?"
"No!" Zhiwoji flatly refused, "Why do you want something ordinary? No, no!"
"I just have a suggestion, if you can't wait any longer..." Jiang Ji chuckled, then moved closer and whispered, "Okay, you have the final say anyway, but... now you can tell me what is going on. Right? Who did it? "
Zhiwoji was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I can tell you, but you can never say that you got the news from me!"
Jiang Jiong slapped his chest loudly and said, "Old friend, don't you still believe in my character? Don't worry, just tell me..."
…………………………
Tianshui County, the Yang family's residence.
Under the guidance of his servant, Jiang Xu quickly entered the hall. When he saw Yang Fu, he bowed his hands and said straight to the point: "Brother Yishan, have you heard about what happened outside the city?"
Yang Fu returned the favor, asked Jiang Xu to sit down, and then motioned to the servant on the side to bring tea soup, and then said slowly: "I heard about it, Boyi, what do you think?"
On the outskirts of Tianshui, many manors that were not well defended were attacked, killing many people and burning down some houses. As a result, some immature grain and grass were also damaged to varying degrees.
Of course, everyone in the manor that was attacked said they had seen the tricolor flag, and among the entire Han Dynasty, only General Zhengxi used the tricolor flag...
"Although some people saw the flag of the Conquest of the West, in my opinion, it doesn't look like someone from the Conquest of the West..." Jiang Xu looked at Yang Fu and said in a deep voice.
Yang Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
"My brother, I just returned to Tianshui the day before yesterday. The manor in the southern suburbs was attacked yesterday..." Jiang Xu said, "My brother once said that when we marched to the west, we didn't have many horses. How could there be so many cavalry? What's more, we didn't have many horses during the expedition. If Xi wants to compensate, he just needs his brother to send word, so why bother with troops? A certain family can afford to pay for a small amount of food and grass, not to mention ten times, even twenty times! If Zheng Xi really acted like this, wouldn't it be too much? Is the young man angry? He conquered Xiping, Baibo and Xianbei, and has a great reputation. How can he be such a shallow person?"
Yang Fu glanced at Jiang Xu and motioned Jiang Xu to drink tea. After pondering for a while, he slowly said: "So, I wonder what Zhong Yi would say about this matter?"
"My younger brother said frankly that this is not what Zheng Xi said. He has gone to look for Baima Qiang to find out a few things..." Jiang Xu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said, "However, before leaving, my younger brother once said that in Zheng Xi I met 'Old Qin Ling' at the general's office..."
"Huh?" Yang Fu widened his eyes and repeated, "'Old Qin Ling'? How could there be an 'Old Qin Ling' in Zhengxi? In this way, wouldn't it be..."
Jiang Xu shook his head and said: "Zhengxi was born in Heluo. This is true. Therefore, he is not from the old Qin. This order is definitely not a descendant of Zhengxi's family..."
Yang Fu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said: "If this order had been born ten years earlier... Xiliang is now in ruins and no longer what it was before..."
Jiang Xu was silent for a long time, and then said: "However, my brother felt that Zheng Xi didn't seem to know the origin of the 'Old Qin Ling'... It seemed like he got it by chance and put it on the table casually..."
"Ha!" Yang Fu couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "Get it by chance? Boyi, don't be joking. This thing is not trivial. How could it be obtained by chance... Is it really so? This... this... this is really..."
Yang Fu and Jiang Xu looked at each other and sighed together.
