Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1178 Fog of War

   "Scout?"

  Fei Qian felt that things were getting more and more complicated. At this moment, Fei Qian's feeling is like encountering the fog of war in the later games. Although he has surveyed the terrain and understood the situation before, after a period of time, if he does not continue to check, he will be surrounded by one side. The black mist covered the originally clear situation in Longyou again.

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

   Feiqian nodded, and did not say anything to blame why there was no scout team that could wipe out the opponent. This situation often occurs in scout encounters. After all, those who can act as scouts are generally elites and veterans, and they are not so easy to catch and kill, especially when these veterans want to run away.

   "Who is the other party? Is there any sign?"

  The soldiers gestured to the outside of the tent: "General Qi, it should be a Qiang, but the small one doesn't know which tribe it is... There is nothing special on him... The small head has already brought..."

   "Qiang people?" Fei Qian frowned.

The Hu people in Xiliang are mixed, besides the Qiang people and Di people, there are also some small tribes, and there are even remnants of the Da Yuezhi in the Western Regions, etc., which is extremely complicated. It is normal not to know which tribe it belongs to. After all, not every scout is Conan.

   And according to the usual practice, being able to cut off the head and report back is already considered due diligence. You can't ask these scouts to run back from fifty miles away against a corpse, right?

  Fei Qian and Jiang Jiong came outside the tent and looked at the head of the Qiang people 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 disheveled head covered in blood and blood stains, if Fei Qian wants to identify the specific Qiang tribe, this…

   It's kind of hard.

   However, there are familiar people.

  Fei Qian turned his head and gestured to Jiang Jiong.

Jiang Jiong understood, squatted down in front of the head, grabbed the head, and held the head in his hands, not caring about the eyes of the head, which were staring like dead fish. Rubbed it, and then said: "General, this may be a man in Qingyi Qiang...Look at the forehead and ears, there are some traces of printing and dyeing..."

  Fei Qian leaned forward slightly, and indeed saw the forehead and the upper edge of the ear, showing a blue-black color. This color even penetrated into the deep layer of the skin, and it indeed looked like it had been soaked by some kind of dye for a long time.

  Even the fabrics dyed by 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 Qingyi Qiang people.

  Of course there are exceptions, such as personal preferences, not Tsing Yi Qiang, but he likes to use black, so Jiang Jiong said that it is this person, it may be, not definitely Tsing Yi Qiang.

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

   "Qingyi Qiang? Baima Qiang?" Fei Qian frowned.

   Is this another Qiang riot?

During the period of Emperor Han Ling, the Qiang people were in turmoil again and again. It was precisely to put down the rebellion of the Qiang people in Xiliang. On the one hand, in order to pay Xiliang's huge military expenditures, and on the other hand, for their own extravagant spending, they intensified their efforts to collect money, raise taxes and sell officials, which eventually led to the Yellow Turban Uprising and accelerated the collapse of the Han Dynasty.

  Xiliang is a quagmire, a big swamp.

  Fei Qian didn't straighten himself out, and didn't want to get involved in it until he was fully prepared.

What's more, after many years of deviating from the political center and leaving the central government for too long, a local separatist regime with local tyrants as the main body and Hu people as minions has formed in Xiliang, such as Han Sui of Jincheng, or For example, Jiang and Yang in Tianshui also belong to such individuals...

In Xiliang, sometimes it is even hard to tell who is the Hu people and who is the Han people. Where the Han people Haoyou and the Qiang people Di people and other Hu tribes colluded with each other, they formed a large and loose team with a consensus. When the goal is to work together with the outside world, and when there is no threat on weekdays, they tear each other down and annex each other. It is really a mess of everything.

   "General! From this point of view, there may be changes in the surrounding area! Please order me to go to Tianshui to thoroughly investigate this matter!" Jiang Jiong said, clasping his hands.

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

  Jiang Jiong was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and took the order to leave.

   Fei Qian squinted his eyes slightly, watching Jiang Jiong's disappearing figure, silent.

  Although this happened to the Jiang family in Tianshui, Jiang Jiong, or the Jiang family in Tianshui, should still be trustworthy.

One is that if the Tianshui Jiang family wants to set up a bureau, there is no need to expose it before they arrive in Tianshui. The second is that since the Jiang family has participated in this matter and has benefited from it, then what else is there in Xiliang, or is there still something to be done? Who can offer a higher price than Feiqian?

Although talking about the art of war is false and true, but Fei Qian feels that he has just swallowed Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and has not shown too much strength and minions to the outside, so it should not be possible for someone to specifically target It is designed according to your own personality and behavior habits.

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

  So for Jiang Jiong, pay more attention and take a little precaution, just don’t need to show it in particular...

   It's just the current Xiliang, who is behind the scenes?

  The only ones who still have strength and have some festivals are nothing more than 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 antlers, deepen the trench, and send more sentries..." Fei Qian ordered in a deep voice, "Also, send someone to bring a famous assassin to invite the Di people to Wang's nest, and go to the camp for a banquet!"

  Xiabian is just around the corner, and if Di people have participated in this matter, or if they know something, you might as well try it first!

  ………………

   "What? Hehe..." Fei Qian laughed dumbly, "Sick?"

  The soldiers bowed their heads and reported: "General Qi, yes...that's what the Di people said..."

   Feiqian nodded and said, "So you haven't seen King Di Ren?"

  The soldiers nodded and said: "No, the little one is only in front of the village... The Di people didn't let the little one enter the village..."

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

  Sick by such a coincidence?

Hu people are generally physically strong, and rarely get sick in their lives. These Hu people basically don’t care about minor illnesses and pains. Moreover, according to Hu people’s cultural beliefs, they sometimes appear sick and painful. A weak state has always been a taboo for those in high positions...

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

   There are also Qiang sentries around the area. This was only discovered today. Was there any before?

  If there is, doesn't it mean that he has been targeted long ago?

   It's only been three days of training in the next debate, amazing, these local snakes have been connected quietly?

   So what should we do now?

  Leading troops to forcibly break into the Diren village?

Diren Wang Ke said he was sick. On the one hand, he was avoiding himself. On the other hand, he also meant to stay out of the matter and observe the situation. If he had any malicious intentions, even if he didn't come in person, he would send a more important subordinate over. It’s okay to lie and cover up a bit.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Di people are so simple 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 wrists. In the dimension.

So, in order to show off his bravery and bravery, Fei Qian himself should go to the meeting alone, tell his strengths and weaknesses, and make three strikes, so that the Di people Wang Ke will immediately bow down at his feet, hug his thighs crying bitterly, abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and drag his family with him His devotion to the great revolutionary cause?

By the way, do the Di people have any ancient fetishes, such as tokens of ancestors, and then these Di people can immediately kowtow as soon as they see this token and fetish, bowing their heads and obeying orders to catch the dog? To kill a chicken is to kill a chicken, it is better than a fool, shed blood, sweat and tears, never said anything else, loyal and willing to bear the burden of hard work?

Give me a break.

  How could that magical plot that would only appear in later generations of TV dramas that were not popular in the world appear in the conspiratorial, cunning and treacherous Three Kingdoms?

  Those who plan for the worst in advance may have the best results.

  Don't forget, now I am away, here is Xiliang, which belongs to the territory of these local snakes.

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

Moreover, based on the current strength of Fei Qian's troops, he is not considered a strong dragon now. After all, although there are a large number of soldiers in the camp, there are more than 6,000 people, but only half of them are regular soldiers, and about half are auxiliary soldiers. Soldiers and civilian husbands, and these auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands do not have much combat effectiveness.

Among these regular soldiers, they were not all the Bingzhou veterans that Fei Qian had originally brought to Hanzhong. Therefore, on the whole, although there are more people now, the overall combat effectiveness may not be stronger than before.

   Therefore, it is not an ideal situation to have conflicts or frictions with the surrounding Qiang people or Di people rashly during this time period.

etc.

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

  Why did the Qiang people send scouts here at the expense of exposing their bodies?

   Must be to confirm something?

   And the biggest goal here is either food or myself...

Han Sui and Ma Chao couldn't confirm in advance that I would definitely come to Longyou, because I was in Hanzhong before and could directly cross the Qinling Mountains to return to Guanzhong. Therefore, even if Han Sui and Ma Chao detected my arrival, it should be a surprise. variables beyond their plans.

   Therefore, they need to confirm again.

  So what...

  If it is inferred from the fact that the opponents are Han Sui and Ma Chao, what are they most afraid of, or what do they want me to do most?

  In addition to the robbery and killing of food and grass before...

   So, what should I do first?

  Fei Qian tapped lightly on the table a few times, and then said: "Come on, Ling... Well, Ling Ling waits to come..."

  ………………

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

  In reality, these eyes are the scouts sent out...

  On the side of the ridge at the crossing of Fanxu Road, several soldiers squatted and half prone on the ground, looking around.

A soldier pulled out a piece of grass on the ground, then wiped off the soil, put the grass in his mouth, and muttered vaguely, "It's been so many days, and I haven't seen a living figure. It's going to be wrong..."

"Shut up, you're the one who talks a lot!" The team leader slapped the soldier on the back of the head, slapping out the grass in his mouth, "Be honest and keep an eye on me, be careful!" Missed the important matter of the young commander!"

   "How long! Look!" a soldier suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.

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

   "Quick! Lie down!"

   In fact, there is no need for a long reminder. The few people on the ridge were all lying on the ground, with only half their heads exposed, staring at the few cavalrymen who were galloping in the distance...

   Several cavalry horses were not slow, and they arrived at the Fanxu crossing in a blink of an eye.

  The current cavalry did not rush into the mountain road, but reined in the horse at the crossing of Fanxu Road, scanning the surrounding situation vigilantly, and moving his eyes slowly along the mountain line.

   "All... all shrink back, don't look..."

  When Shi Chang saw that something was wrong, he immediately lowered his voice, whispered, and retracted his head.

   Maybe they didn’t find anything. After a while, they only heard the sound of horseshoes. It seemed that someone entered the Bansu crossing and went forward.

   The **** next to Shi Chang subconsciously stretched out his head to look down, but Shi Chang grabbed him!

   After a while, there was another sound of horseshoes, and then gradually faded away.

The soldier next to Shichang didn't know whether he should look at it now or not. When he hurriedly turned his head to look at Shichang, he saw that Shichang had stretched out his head, staring closely at the figure of the cavalry in the distance. .

   "Tsk tsk..."

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