"Is what you said true? Guo Huai and Cheliji of the Qiang Tribe were going to deal with the Han Dynasty together?”
Tian Yang looked at Zhang Lijun, who was standing in front of him, and frowned slightly.
"That's right. This is the news I overheard in the meeting hall of Shanggua City.”
Zhang Lijun had just returned from Shanggua City and immediately reported this matter to Tian Yang.
"I understand. Later, you and I will report this matter to the prime minister.”
In Zhuge Liang's main tent, Tian Yang brought Zhang Lijun to look for Zhuge Liang. This was not a small matter. If they were to be abused, there would be problems with the supplies of the Shu army.
"Prime minister, it's been a while.”Zhang Li Jun saw Zhuge Liang and immediately smiled.
"So it's Li Jun." Seeing Zhang Li Jun, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh." I didn't see you at Tian Yang earlier, so I thought you were somewhere else."”
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, before I surrendered, I had already sent Li Jun to Shanggua City to gather information.”
"This time, Li Jun overheard a big matter.”
As he spoke, Tian Yang gave Zhang Li Jun a look. Zhang Li Jun understood and immediately went forward to say.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Guo Huai intends to ally with the Qiang people and let them deal with the Great Han. Before I left, Guo Huai sent a letter to Cheliji.”
"Qiang people." Zhuge Liang could not help but frown. If it was a foreign race, it would be difficult to deal with. However, before the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang had already expected the Qiang people to help Cao Wei, so he was not surprised.
"Tianyang, how do you think we should treat the Qiang people?”Zhuge Liang looked at Tian Yang and asked tentatively.
"Prime Minister, Tianyang believes that using force to suppress these foreign races will only treat the symptoms and not the root of the problem. If Prime Minister really wants Longxi to submit to the Great Han, then in addition to appeasing the people of Longxi, you must also use a policy of appeasement to deal with these foreign races. Only by making the Qiang and Han people treat each other as equals and not treat each other as races can we create a longer period of peace.”
Tian Yang said lightly. The meaning of his words coincided with Ma Su's suggestion of " attacking the heart is the best and attacking the city is the worst " when Zhuge Liang pacified the Nanman.
"Yes." Zhuge Liang looked at Tian Yang with satisfaction and said softly," Tian Yang, Li Jun, you two can leave first. I know what to do."”
"Yes, sir!" As he spoke, Tian Yang and Zhang Li Jun slowly retreated.
Looking at Tian Yang's back as he left, Zhuge Liang thought to himself," Although Tian Yang is talented, he doesn't have enough contributions. If we make an exception and promote him, it will only cause dissatisfaction and make him the target of everyone's attacks. Why don't we?"
Qiang Tent
"Great Wei has sent a letter to me, asking us to send troops to attack Zhuge Liang. What do you think?”
Cheliji placed the letter in his hand on the table in front of him and asked the two people present-General Yue Ji and Prime Minister Ya Dan.
"We have a long-standing friendly relationship with Great Wei. Now that Provincial Governor Guo is asking for help, how can we sit idly by?”Ya Dan analyzed. The meaning in her words was obvious to support Guo Huai.
"We have armored chariots that are wrapped in iron leaves and are impenetrable. Just this alone is enough to defeat the enemy.”
General Yue Ji said proudly. Ao, from the looks of it, he was also very agreeable to sending troops.
"Prime Minister Yandan must have received a lot of benefits from the other party.”
At this moment, an extremely pleasant female voice spread out from within the tent. The aura contained within it made Yandan break out in cold sweat. Yandan knew that the person who spoke was extremely powerful. Even Yue Ji was not her match.
Gradually, a young girl walked in. Her clothes did not look like the clothes of a Han woman at all. Logically speaking, she should be a Qiang person, but in fact, the girl in front of him was a mixed-blood of Han and Qiang. At this moment, she was just a mercenary of the Qiang.
"Oh, looks like the strongest mercenary we've been waiting for is here.”Cheliji's face lit up as he looked at the girl, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.
"What did you say? How dare a small mercenary speak so harshly?”Although she had accepted the benefits from him, Yandan couldn't tolerate a small mercenary saying such things to her.
The young lady snorted and said calmly," Originally, your life and death had nothing to do with me. However, due to the professional ethics of mercenaries, I still have to remind you. It was very miserable to be someone's pawn. When your strength weakened, the other party would turn around and kill you at any time.”
Although she looked like a brave mercenary, the words that came out of the girl's mouth were so profound. It was obvious that the girl in front of him was not only brave.
This girl was called Yang Lan, a mixed-blood of Han and Qiang. She was very famous among the Qiang mercenaries and was also known as the "Immortal Bird Yang Lan". From this, it could be seen that she was very powerful.
"Although what you say makes sense, in the past few years, if we don't rely on Great Wei's strength, it would be very difficult for us to win the war against Zhi Wudai or Yao Kehui. If we refuse to send troops now, if Great Wei refuses to help in the future, we won't have a good life either.”It could be seen that Cherij was not doing so well.
The Qiang people were deeply rooted in the world. If Cheliji wanted to survive in the Qiang people, it would be very difficult for him not to be swallowed by other forces. Moreover, the generals and prime ministers under his command were not good. Let alone the general, just the prime minister Yadan, was it really good to be so greedy?
"Since you still don't want to face reality, I can't be bothered to continue.”Yang Lan could only smile at Cheliji's answer and said nothing.
"I think this woman doesn't want to fight Han people because of the Han blood in her body. I heard that you are a mixed-blood of the Han people. Is that true?”Yue Ji had always disliked Yang Lan. Seeing that Yang Lan had no intention of fighting this war, he immediately mocked her.
"I haven't even seen that old man's face. I've been drinking wolf blood since I was born and living on horseback. I once swore that if anyone dared to mock my bloodline, I would make them pay the price. Do you want to try?”
As she spoke, Yang Lan looked at Yue Ji with a murderous look on her face. The qi in her body began to surge. Sensing the power in her body, Yue Ji immediately wanted to retreat. He could not afford to offend the woman in front of him.
"No, no." Yue Ji immediately cowered. He did not want to die so early.
"This woman is ruthless. It is said that she will not even let her own people off for the sake of benefits. Even I can't afford to offend her. But why did such a ruthless character always wear this necklace with the word "Fu" engraved on it?”Thinking of this, Yue Ji suddenly muttered in his heart.
"Stop quarreling. No wonder we can only listen to the Han people. If I could, why wouldn't I want to learn kobineng? She could only listen because she couldn't beat him. Thus, it was decided that Yue Ji would be the commander, Ya Dan would be the advisor, and Yang Lan would be the vanguard. Lead the army and teach Zhuge Liang a lesson."
Cheliji was annoyed to death when he saw the quarreling. It seemed that it was not easy to be the king of the Qiang people. It was a tragedy to be like Cheliji.
"Damn it, using unreliable mercenaries as the vanguard, do you think our tribe has no one?”Hearing Cheliji's order, Yue Ji started to curse in his heart. Although he didn't dare to say it out loud, he still dared to.
He just hoped that Yang Lan would not hear him. Otherwise, he would die quickly.
Yang Lan secretly glanced at everyone present. The experience she had accumulated among the Qiang mercenaries told her that she could not stay here any longer. Otherwise, she would die here sooner or later.
Therefore, Yang Lan already had the thought of leaving this place.
Looking back at the Shu army, although Zhuge Liang knew that the Qiang people would send troops, he still decided to continue advancing towards the hexagram. It seemed that he did not take this news to heart.
Although Tian Yang was puzzled, he did not say anything. Instead, he continued to send Zhang Li Jun out to inquire about the news of the Qiang people. This made Zhang Li Jun unable to take it anymore.
Why was he so unlucky? Every mission was always his priority, and it was always to break into the enemy's territory. This kind of mission that could kill him if he was not careful fell on his head every time. Zhang Lijun couldn't help but complain.
Even Tian Yang couldn't help but feel that he was a little unkind. Every time he let Zhang Li Jun do such a dangerous mission, Zhang Li Jun basically didn't have much time to rest. The missions came one after another.
However, Hong En was speechless as he complained," You may say that, but aren't you still carrying out your mission seriously? If you have the ability, then resist to the end. It really makes me speechless."”
Zhang Lijun couldn't complain anymore after hearing Hong En's words. He went to carry out the mission without saying anything else.
However, Zhang Lijun felt helpless.'I'm just complaining. Will you die if you don't complain?' After all, we're teammates who fought together. Can't you cooperate with me? Anyway, Tian Yang didn't say anything. It's obvious that nothing will happen if I complain! Really!
