Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 906 Chaos in Chang'an (2)

  In the land of Sanfu, near Yong County, the camps of Ma Teng and Han Sui were very wide.

The biggest difference between the cavalry camp and the infantry camp is that the cavalry camp does not all gather together for better assembly and departure. Instead, they set up separate camps after setting aside traffic arteries as needed, plus Ma Teng and Han Sui. There are many Qiang people below, so according to the different affiliation of each Qiang people, large and small camps were divided.

In the early morning of this day, with the rising sun, the whole camp suddenly became lively. Those who washed the horses, cooked the food, and mended some utensils. The complicated sounds were accompanied by the white mist emitted by the cooking food. One after another, the sound resounded throughout the entire huge camp.

  In the camp, most of the people walking around and working here are Qiang people. These Qiang people had their hair braided and wore leather robes. Although they were camping in the wild, they acted as if they were living in a familiar place. They were doing things slowly, laughing and chatting from time to time, and even sang when they were happy...

  Although the suffering of the Qiang people has always been a huge scar of the Han Dynasty, in Xiliang, it is already a norm for Qiang people and Han people to live together.

   It seems that the ambitious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty incorporated the entire Northwest region into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Qiang people and the Han people began to fall in love with each other. If it were not for the strong opposition of the court ministers, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would even plan to develop the Xinjiang region of later generations...

And this area is the area where the ethnic minorities in the west are active. Liu Che's development has reduced the space for the activities of the Qiang people. The Qiang people fought for the land cultivated by the Han people in order to herd. It is difficult for both the army and the county officials to stop such competition. , so the Qiang people began to resist, and even in this process, the Qiang people seemed to have a tendency to form a big tribal alliance, but this tendency eventually aborted.

  With the fall of the Huns, the Qiang people did not form any powerful alliances in the end, only powerful tribes...

However, after all, they are nomadic peoples, and the ability to fight and run is the biggest feature, and the Qiang people accept the culture of the Han family more than the Huns. Therefore, for hundreds of years, the Qiang people have repeatedly become the help or resistance of the Han people. , especially during the period of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the Qiang people and the Han people lived together, and they also vassalized local tycoons to fight for Liu Xiu, but it also hindered Liu Xiu's unification.

The Qiang people really rebelled when faced with the situation that they could not survive. As a nomadic people, they asked the whole people to give up their old business and learn farming from the Han people. They often choose to rely on the local tyrants as a powerful mercenary group to give full play to the talent of the Qiang people who can fight and run.

There are too many leaders of Qiang tribes, large and small, without a unified will, so there has never been a kingdom or a big alliance. But in the same way, defeating or surrendering a tribe by the Han does not mean surrendering all Qiang tribes, so it cannot be dealt with The Huns also went to find their so-called royal court for a decisive battle.

  The Qiang people don't like the cruel and high-handed rule of the officials of the Han Dynasty, but at the same time, many tribes can't do without the state of living with the Han people, so the Qiang people's attitude towards the Han people is also very complicated.

  It is often the leader of the Qiang tribe who rebelled, but they don’t know what to do after the rebellion?

Qiang people do not have any concept of imperial power in their heads, nor do they have any ideas of building a better new life, etc., so they often rebel for the sake of rebellion, follow the trend, and at the same time attach themselves to those prominent and prestigious people in Liangzhou Great man, these people are knowledgeable after all, and they treat the Qiang people under them well. Although the Qiang people are not satisfied with the central government, they are very convinced of the local people's great power, such as Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui...

   Listen to whoever has money and food, and work hard for whoever can give more benefits.

  Speaking of which, the nature of such mercenaries is not bad, but it is a bit of a headache for Ma Teng and Han Sui.

In the past few days, the Qiang people under his vassals are just like visiting relatives during the New Year. Waves of people popped up, carrying wine, meat, gold, silver and jewelry, and ran to the small commander of the Qiang people under him, stabbing Call the names of familiar people, and then gather together to drink and eat meat, sing and dance...

  Military discipline?

Cough cough, that thing may have been built by Li Ru under Dong Zhuo's banner, but with Ma Teng and Han Sui, they are more like larger tribal leaders who have the right to govern, but they don't have complete authority. According to the rule, the troops of the Qiang people still belong to the leaders of their respective small Qiang people, so there is no problem in obeying the advance and retreat when fighting, but Ma Teng and Han Sui have nothing to do with such trivial things as eating, drinking and lazing.

  The camps of Ma Teng and Han Sui are not far away, and the relationship between the two is ups and downs, of course there is a little bit of a gap, but which one is not like this in Xiliang?

  Plus this time the two of them came here together, so the two of them get along pretty well right now.

   "Wen Yue, what should we do?" Ma Teng scratched his scalp, very troubled.

  Because of the characteristics of the Qiang people, when Li Guo and others not only sent envoys from the Son of Heaven, but even sent a large number of Qiang people, the spirit of Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops was immediately suppressed.

  According to those Qiang people, we are all friends, we are all from Xiliang, if we have money and food we share it, if we have gold and silver treasures we take it, why bother to fight back and forth in vain?

   You don’t have to risk your life to fight, and you have money, wine and meat, so there will be that fool who will categorically refuse and insist on seeing blood?

  As a result, the Qiang people under Ma Teng and Han Sui had no desire to fight at all, at least not as strong a desire as before. They were just waiting for how to divide money, food and property...

  Han Sui also had a headache. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly smacked his mouth and said, "...Shoucheng, why did you say you were appointed last time?"

   "I seem to be...General Zhengxi..." Ma Teng grabbed the emperor's edict on the table and looked at it, and said, "...Are you General Zhenxi?"

  Han Sui nodded, then remained silent for a while, and suddenly said: "...I heard...that kid Li Zhiran named himself General Chariot and Cavalry!"

   "Really?!" Ma Teng's eyes widened.

  Han Sui said: "Is this still false?"

Ma Teng immediately jumped up against the case, pointing and cursing: "Li Zhiran, you bastard! What do you think of me...we?! If you don't teach this kid a lesson, you won't know how powerful we are! Come on! Blow the trumpet, gather the generals! "

  The ox horn sounded, and the big and small Qiang heads ran out of their respective camps and gathered here with Ma Teng and Han Sui...
