Three Kingdoms

Ma Yan led a team of people to the Baishi Qiang camp.

Baishi Qiang belongs to Dong Qiang.

The Eastern Qiang and the Western Qiang have been distinguished since ancient times. However, due to the repeated rebellions of the Western Qiang in the Han Dynasty, the history and records of the Western Qiang were relatively detailed, while the Eastern Qiang was relatively rare in writing.

During the Han Dynasty, there were many Qiang people in Sanfu, most of whom were "Eastern Qiang". They had migrated from Dahe, Huangshui and Taohe river basins in Jincheng County many times before. Some of them had come from Longxi and Beidi. , those who moved within the stable counties,

During the development process of the Qiang people, they were once very powerful. In the fifth year of Yongchu, the Qiang people's power expanded to the county offices of Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and other counties. At that time, many prefects and county magistrates had no intention of fighting. , the second one was unable to fight, most of them fled inland, and a small number of them took refuge with the Qiang people. The whole Hexi area "cuts the crops, rips them through the houses, destroys the walls of the camps, and destroys the accumulations. There are droughts, locusts, and famines, and they are driven away by disasters, wandering and scattered, dying along the way, or abandoning the old and weak, or becoming servants and concubines. Too much of it is lost."

At that time, the tyrannical Dianling Qiang people even established a complete whole, from the Qiang marquis to the chief historian, Sima, Xiaowei, etc., until the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, several leaders of the Dianling Qiang regime Characters were assassinated one after another, and this time the Yunnan Qiang rebellion was gradually quelled.

However, it was precisely because of this large-scale rebellion of the Qiang people that the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions gradually weakened. "In the more than ten years since the Qiang rebellion, the senior soldiers of the military company have not rested in peace. The cost of military travel , more than 2.4 billion were spent on transportation and transport, and the government funds were exhausted. As it extended to the inner counties, countless people died on the border, and the two states of Merger and Liang were wasted." In the end, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty ordered a large-scale The people who moved inward to Bingliang and Liangzhou were equivalent to handing over Bingliang and Liangzhou to the barbarians.

Ironically, now, first Dong Zhuo from Liangzhou is in power, and now Wang Yun from Bingzhou is in power...

However, overall, the Qiang and the Huns were more integrated than the Xiongnu. Many rebellions occurred, most of which were caused by various taxes and unfair treatment of the Qiang and Han people. Before that, the Qiang people had often cooperated with the Han people in sending troops to conquer the Xiongnu or put down rebellions as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, the relationship between them was not so bad that they were bitter and bitter.

The rulers of the Han Dynasty had a similar attitude towards the Qiang people as those of later generations. They were more open-minded and advocated treating them with virtue and giving the Qiang people a way to live. One is like the butcher Duan Jiong, who advocated killing all the people and killing them before they could be killed. The two factions often attacked each other, and then the emperor took charge of the reconciliation and adopted a compromise.

The races of the Qiang people located in Shangjun and Xihe counties are very complex. There are Shendi race, Quanwu race, Qianren race, Xiaogong race, and even some Shaodang race and Xianling race...

Anyway, the Qiang people are nomadic, and sometimes they merge together when they wander around. Just like the Baishi Qiang, they are actually a collection of several species, and then use Baishi as a totem to worship, forming a medium-to-large Qiang tribe.

The Qiang marshal Linagu laughed in front of the central tent and welcomed Ma Yan's arrival: "Your Majesty Baishi God! Distinguished guest! Distinguished guest! Why is General Du Liao interested in coming here today?"

Seeing Lina Gu's old face that looked a bit flamboyant and with an exaggerated smile, Ma Yan murmured in his heart. It was just as Fei Zhonglang expected, and then he smiled and said, "Has the handsome man had a lot of distinguished guests recently?"

Linagu was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes twice, and said with a change of expression: "General Ma, I don't understand what you mean..."

Ma stretched out a palm, shook it back and forth a few times, and said: "What do you mean, doesn't the handsome man know best? There are twenty people..."

Lina Gu angrily said: "General Ma! What do you mean? You sent someone to spy on my tribe?!"

Ma Yan laughed twice and said with some disdain: "Twenty people are arrogantly showing off. They are afraid that others will not know along the way. Even a blind man can see. How do you still peep?"

In fact, Xianbei's envoys were not as exaggerated as Ma Yan said, and they had to be known to everyone. However, Fei Qian recruited some barbarians as translators in Beiqu during this period, and there were many people who came and went. Many of them are familiar with each other, and most of the lower-class Hu people have no sense of confidentiality. A lot of news in the tribe is revealed inadvertently.

Linagu slaughtered sheep and cattle to entertain the Xianbei envoys, and the people in his own tribe could get a bowl of mutton and beef offal soup. Naturally, they would also say a few words when chatting with each other. Under the inquiries of interested people, , I can actually tell the color of Xianbei's horses.

Lina Gu was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Ma Yan paused briefly and said: "Brother Baishi is cautious, and I can understand this. The Xianbei tribe is very large and has a large number of people. It is really troublesome to deal with it. If you really fight against Xianbei, it will be a headache. But does Xianbei have any problems?" Let me tell you, they all have big problems now..."

Linagu looked at Ma Yan in surprise, and said doubtfully: "What's the problem?" Then he reacted instantly, and he eagerly invited Ma Yan to come into the tent and sit down, and asked him to serve some mare's milk wine and dried meat. He waved his hand and drove away the servants, and then looked at Ma Yan, hoping that he would clear up his doubts.

Ma Yan unceremoniously picked up the koumiss, drank a glass, and then said calmly: "Master Bu Dugen and Master Kebi Neng from Xianbei are at odds with each other, and they are about to start a fight. Brother Baishi, aren't they?" Are you willing to be a pioneer?"

Involved in the two major Xianbei tribes?

Rinagu's face looked like Bai Shi for a moment, and then he smiled reluctantly: "General Ma...don't be kidding, how is this possible?"

Ma Yan picked up a piece of dried mutton, put it in his mouth, tore it apart, and said vaguely: "Why don't you want to... When Xianbei fought, which one went first from Xianbei?"

Rinagu closed his mouth and frowned.

The Qiang people have always been the weaklings, falling on both sides. But this is the tragedy of the wallflower. He is often used as cannon fodder by people on both sides. When he cooperates with the Han, he is ordered by the Han. When he follows the Huns, he is used as a vanguard by the Huns. Now Mobei is dominated by Xianbei, so what Ma Yan said The situation is not completely impossible.

Ma Yan threw the half-eaten dried mutton back onto the plate, clapped his hands, sipped his teeth, and said rudely: "Brother Baishi, think about it for yourself, follow us Han people, don't say anything else, Fei Since Zhonglang came to Bingzhou, he hasn't made you suffer, has he?"

"What if it's Xianbei? Huh?" Ma Yan stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Believe it or not, after this time, Xianbei will immediately send someone to ask you to go north to be the vanguard. Will you go or not? Huh? If you don't want to go, who else can Brother Baishi ask for help? Okay, that's all, I'll leave first... No need to send it off, Brother Baishi, you should think more about it..."

Although Ma Yan said there was no need to send him away, he could really not send him away anywhere. Lina Gu sent Ma Yan out of the camp with a smile before turning around and returning to the big tent.

Linagu's son Zhaliu came in and asked: "Father, the Han people are also here...what should we do now?"

Lina Gu frowned and pondered for a long time before saying: "Let's wait and see before talking..."

Kong Ming said anxiously: "If your Majesty makes a mistake in conquering Wu and just loses these great achievements, what will happen to Adou?"

This sentence made Liu Bei anxious again, and he quickly came up and asked: "You said this again, are you cursing me or making me angry?"

When Zhuge asked, he remembered what happened the day before, and regretted that he had made a mistake again, and hurriedly smiled and said:

"Don't be anxious, I said it wrong. What's the matter? My muscles are jumping and my face is sweating with anxiety."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but step forward and reach out to try the sweat on his face.

Liu Bei looked at it for a long time and then said: "Don't worry".

Zhuge was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then said: "Why should I be worried? I don't understand this. Can you tell me why I am worried?"
