Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 584 Bai Shiqiang's wait and see

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

  Baishi Qiang belongs to the Eastern Qiang.

  Dong Qiang and Xi Qiang have been different since ancient times, but because of the repeated rebellion of Xi Qiang in the Han Dynasty, the history and records of Xi Qiang are more detailed, while Dong Qiang is less common in writing.

In the Han Dynasty, there were many Qiang people in Sanfu, most of them were "Eastern Qiang". They had migrated from the Dahe, Huangshui, and Taohe river basins in Jincheng County many times before, and some of them were from Longxi and Beidi. , those who migrated in the counties of Anding,

During the development process of the Qiang nationality, it was also strong for a while. In the fifth year of Yongchu, the power of the Qiang nationality expanded to the prefectures of Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and other counties. At that time, many prefects and county magistrates had no fighting spirit , The second is also unable to fight, most of them fled, and a small part of them took refuge in the Qiang people. The whole of Hexi "mows its crops, spreads them all over the house, barracks the walls, and destroys the accumulation. Sometimes there are droughts and famines, and they drive away and plunder, wander and disperse, die along the way, or abandon the old and the weak, or serve as concubines, Lose half of it."

At that time, the tyrannical Dianling Qiang people even established a complete whole, ranging from Qiang Hou Junzhang to Changshi, 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 Dianling Qiang rebellion was gradually quelled.

However, it was precisely because of the large-scale rebellion of the Qiang people that the Han Dynasty’s control over the Western Regions gradually weakened. , Transshipment commissioned transportation, spent more than 2.4 billion, and the government's money was exhausted. Extending to the inner county, the death of border residents was innumerable, and the two states of Bing and Liangzhou were wasted." In the end, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty decreed a large-scale The people who moved inward to the two prefectures of Bingliang were tantamount to handing over the two prefectures of Bingliang to the barbarians.

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

   But on the whole, compared with the Huns, the Qiang people have a higher degree of integration, and many rebellions, most of which are caused by various taxes and unfair treatment of the Qiang people and Han people. Before that, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qiang people had often cooperated with the Han people in sending troops to conquer the Huns or put down rebellions. Therefore, the relationship between them was not so bad that it was bitter and bitter.

  The attitude of the rulers of the Han Dynasty towards the Qiang people was actually similar to that of the later generations. One was more enlightened, advocating to embrace virtue and give the Qiang people a way out. One is like Duan Jiong, the butcher, who advocates killing everything, and he must put them to death and then quickly. These two factions often attack each other, and then the emperor is in charge of making peace and taking a compromise.

  The ethnicity of the Qiang people located in Shangjun and Xihe County is very complex. There are Shendi, Quanwu, Pious, Gonggong, and even some Shaodang and Xianling...

  Anyway, the Qiang people are nomadic, and sometimes they merge together when they swim around, just like the Baishi Qiang, which is actually a collection of several species, and then worships the Baishi as a totem, forming a medium-to-large Qiang tribe.

  Linagu, a handsome Qiang man, laughed and greeted Ma Yan in front of the central tent: "God Baishi! Your honored guest! Your honored guest! Why is General Du Liao interested in coming here today?"

  Seeing Linagu's old face with an exaggerated and exaggerated smile, Ma Yan muttered in his heart, as expected by Fei Zhonglang, and then smiled and said: "Hao Shuai has a lot of distinguished guests recently, right?"

  Rinagu froze for a moment, rolled his eyeballs twice, and said with a change of expression: "General Ma, I don't understand what you mean..."

  The horse stretched out a slap, shook it back and forth a few times, and said, "What do you mean, isn't Hao Shuai the clearest? Twenty people..."

  Linagu said angrily: "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 swaggered along the way, afraid that others would not know, even blind people can see, so do you want to peep?"

In fact, Xianbei's envoys were not as exaggerated as Ma Yan said, and they insisted on making it known to passers-by, but Fei Qian recruited some Hu people in Beiqu as translators during this period of time, and there were frequent exchanges. Many of them are familiar with each other, and most of the lower-level barbarians don't have any sense of secrecy. There are a lot of news in the tribe, which is revealed inadvertently.

Linagu, who slaughtered sheep and cattle, entertained the Xianbei envoys, and the people in his own tribe could get a bowl of offal soup and so on. Naturally, he would say a few words when chatting with each other. , really even the color of Xianbei's horses can be detected.

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

Ma Yan paused 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 indeed troublesome to deal with it. If you really complain about Xianbei, it is indeed a headache, but is there any Xianbei?" Let me tell you, they're all having a big problem right now..."

Linagu looked at Ma Yan in surprise, and said half-believingly: "What's the problem?" Then he reacted in an instant, and asked Ma Yan to sit in the big tent eagerly, and ordered some kumiss and dried meat to be served. He waved his hand to drive away all the servants, and then looked at Ma Yan, hoping that he would clear up his doubts.

Ma Yan unceremoniously picked up the kumiss, drank a glass, and then said calmly: "Master Budugen of Xianbei and Lord Kebi Neng are fighting against each other, and they are about to fight now, Brother Baishi, right? Are you willing to be a pioneer?"

   Get involved in the two major Xianbei tribes?

  Rinagu's face was like a white stone for a moment, and then he forced a smile: "General Ma...don't be joking, how is this possible?"

  Ma Yan picked up a piece of dried mutton, put it in his mouth and tore it, and said vaguely: "Why don't you refuse...Xianbei fought, and that time it was the Xianbei who went first?"

  Rinagu closed his mouth and frowned.

  The Qiang people have always been on the fence, falling on both sides. But this is the tragedy of the grass on the wall. It is often used as cannon fodder by people on both sides. When it cooperates with the Han people, it is instigated by the Han people. The situation is not entirely impossible.

Ma Yan threw the half-eaten dried mutton back into the plate, clapped his palms, sipped between his teeth, and said very rudely: "Brother Baishi, think about it for yourself, follow us Han people, don't say anything else, Fei After Zhonglang came to Bingzhou, he didn't let you suffer, did 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 pioneers. Will you go or not? Huh? If you don’t want to go, who else can Brother Baishi ask for help? Alright, that’s all for now, I’m leaving first... No need to send it off, Brother Baishi, you should think about it..."

  Although Ma Yan said that there is no need to send him away, he could really not send him away, Linagu sent Ma Yan out of the camp with a smile, and then turned back to the big tent.

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

  Linagu frowned, pondered for a long time before saying: "Let's wait and see before we talk..."

   Kong Ming said urgently: "If your Majesty makes a mistake in his conquest of Wu, and only loses these great achievements, what about this Dude?"

   One sentence made Liu Bei anxious again, and hurried up to ask: "You say this again, are you cursing me or angering me?"

   Zhuge saw and asked, Fang remembered what happened the day before yesterday, and regretted that he had made a mistake again, and hurriedly laughed:

   "Don't be in a hurry, I was wrong. What's the matter, my muscles are jumping, and my face is sweating in anxiety."

   While speaking, she couldn't help stepping forward and reaching out to test the sweat on his face.

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

   After hearing this, Zhuge was stunned for a long time, then Fang said: "Why should I be worried? I don't understand this. How can you be worried?

   …
