Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2295 Good news is good news

  Fangling.

  Zhang Ze's army surrounded Fangling City.

  Looking back at the banners fluttering in his camp, watching the famous soldiers coming and going, Zhang Ze’s nephew, Zhang Ran somewhat couldn’t hide his excitement...

A general of an army, one word, ten thousand followers, etc. These thoughts stimulated Zhang Ran, causing his adrenaline to be secreted much more than usual, his heartbeat quickened, and blood rushed to his head, which faintly made him feel sick. Zhang Ran felt dizzy.

  Of course, what makes Zhang Ran feel happier is to capture Fangling in front of him...

   Some footsteps came, and Zhang Ran turned around to see that it was the barbarian General Sui Que.

  『Thanks for your hard work, General...』 Ji Que imitated the etiquette of the Han people and bowed his hands to greet Zhang Ran, but the posture of saluting was a bit awkward no matter what.

Ji Que is in his forties. He is relatively short and dark-skinned. There are beards on his chin, which are messy and intertwined. His small eyes reveal a kind of fanaticism and greed. It is a fanaticism for war and wealth. and greed.

  Zhang still has some prestige among the Yi people, so this time he naturally encouraged some Yi people to join the ranks of rebellion. Generally speaking, these barbarians are in the cottages, and they seldom go out of the mountains to have a look at the outside world. When Zhang Ze advocated it, some people felt that they would vote with Zhang Ze anyway. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you will lose money. When the time comes, you will shrink back into the mountains when you see the situation is not good. Is it possible that the Han people can still enter the mountains?

  『The leader has also worked hard...』 Zhang Ran also cupped his hands, and then said, 『How is it? How are the wooden utensils for the siege prepared? 』

  Ji Que smiled proudly, and said, "No problem! The surrounding mountains are full of logs, and it takes some effort to cut them down and pull them over...but it only took a day or two! 』

  Zhang Ran nodded, then turned his head to look at the Fangling city wall and said: "If the siege equipment arrives, it will be the end of these guys!" Ha ha ha ha! 』

  Ji Que also laughed out loud.

  The two laughed for a while, Zhang Ran said to Ji Que again: "There is another good news... No, there are three good news..."

  『General, please tell me…』Ji Que said in slightly awkward Chinese, 『Well, is it for enlightenment? 』

"Hahaha, you and I don't need to be so polite..." Zhang Ran said with a smile, "The first good news is that Longyou is in chaos... Xiqiang rebelled again, Hussars, you have to deal with Longyou before you can come to find me Our troubles... Hahaha, maybe we have already built Hanzhong into a monolithic one by then, if Huqi wants to come again, it will be too late! 』

  『Hahaha, it’s really good news...』Ji Que also laughed, 『Then, what about the second good news? 』

  Zhang Ran was elated, and said gesticulating, "The second good news, our people have returned from Jingxiang. General Cao Mengde is gathering troops and will give us side support and echo!" At that time, it will be difficult for Hussars to look left and right, and it will be difficult to defend things. Maybe destruction is just around the corner! 』

"oh oh! 』Although Ji Que is not very clear about Cao Cao’s specific reinforcements and what the so-called geographical location is, but hearing that it is beneficial to him, he still thinks it is very good, and he is happy to show his eight big teeth, hahaha head laughing.

  『The third good news! Zhang Ran stretched out his third finger, and then said in a very contemptuous tone, "Originally, Sichuan and Shu were also a threat to us, but now...hahahaha, do you know that among Sichuan and Shu It was Zhuge Liang who was sent! A junior in his twenties! Hahahahaha! There are no soldiers if you want soldiers, no money if you want money, and no bravery. It is said that even ordinary soldiers can't beat them! Such a general is going to attack Yangping Pass, ahahahaha! This shows what? 』

  『What does it mean? 』Ji Que is obviously a very qualified fan, and he raised questions at the right time.

  Zhang Ran crossed his hips and raised his chin, "This shows that Sichuan and Shu have no intention of attacking Hanzhong!" Xu Yuanzhi! Hahaha, this Xu Yuanzhi also has evil intentions! Otherwise, they wouldn't just send a frail scholar like Zhuge Liang to be the coach to lead the army to attack Yangping! People from Sichuan and Shu don't want to come either! Isn't that good news? 』

  『So, Fang Ling...hahaha, Fang Ling is hopeless! Zhang Ran pointed to the Fangling city in front of him, "Now only this boy Huang Quan is left to resist... As long as Fangling is taken down, great success will be achieved!" 』

...

  …(^.^)YYa!!…

  A Qiang man hurriedly walked into the large tent of the North Palace.

  『My lord, the troops of the Han people did not come to Daze...』

  Bei Gong asked slowly: "Didn't you come?" Where are they now? 』

  『Our people received news that the Han people were still near Guzang, and they didn’t come here, nor did they go in the direction of Rile...』

  Bei Gong thought for a while, and then said to his attendants: "Go and call the heads of various ministries to come to my place to discuss matters." 』

   Not long after, the heads of the various ministries came, and a group of people sat around the originally deserted tent.

  Bei Gong suddenly seemed to think of something, but before he could think it through clearly, he was interrupted by a Qiang leader, "Your Majesty Bei Gong, what are these Han people doing?" Could it be that he was going to shrink back in Guzang and not move? 』

  『Guzang is surrounded by good fields, these Han people are of course reluctant! 』

  『It’s not right, after all, the Han people can only guard the city, if we go there when the wheat is harvested, will they come out to fight, or watch us grab the wheat? 』

  『That’s true, what do the Han people think? 』

  『How could I know what the Han people think...』

Chirping, chirping, a group of people chattering indiscriminately, they are neither responsible for their words, nor are they really trying to come up with any ideas, anyway, they are just expressing their own opinions, just like the village heads sitting together and chatting Middle-aged and elderly people with short parents.

  Because young people can't stand still, they always have to do something.

  In the current big account, most of them are middle-aged and elderly. Even if you want to become the leader of a tribe, it is not an easy task. You need a certain amount of experience and a certain accumulation of contacts, and these are not something that an ordinary Qiang youth can possess.

But these Qiang heads who have reached a certain age, in some respects, are inevitably a little cunning. If they are placed in the Central Plains of China, they are called farmers' cunning, but when the Qiang nomads are nomadic, they are herdsmen. cunning.

  『Cough! 』

  Bei Gong coughed, then looked at everyone with a sullen face.

  Everyone stopped from the chaotic discussion, and then looked at Beigong.

"Han people... Han people have never seen us as adults..." Beigong slowly looked at each head and said slowly, "They said we were cunning, lazy, and stupid, and asked us to do this, do this." That, wanting our cattle, sheep, skins, and even robbing our wives and daughters... We dodged, we hid in the mountains, and then the Han people came after us, we hid in the desert, and then the Han people came after us...』

"We have no money, and the Han people want us to pay with cattle, sheep, and everything... If you are happy, come to us to eat and drink our food. If you are not happy, come to us to chop off our heads To serve as military exploits..." Bei Gong said slowly, "We want to be reasonable, but there is no place to be reasonable. We also want to be a good person, live a good life, live under the sky, die under the sky, and live this life in peace ...But who made us become what we are now, with knives, bows, and guns, who is it? It's Han Chinese! All Han people should die! Burned our pastures for war, ravaged our people, bullied and squeezed, deceived and slaughtered wantonly, what should we do? What should we do? ! 』

  『There is revenge and revenge, there is complaint and complaint! 』

  『The blood debt owed by the Han people should be paid now! 』

"eye for eye! 』

   There was another burst of roaring.

Bei Gong nodded, and waited for the voices of the crowd to subside, before continuing: "Now the Han people dare not come out, and they dare not move in the place of Guzang. There are two reasons... First, the Han people are waiting Reinforcements...Second, what conspiracy are the Han people up to...』

"No matter what the reason is, we can't wait here any longer..." Beigong stood up, "We must act first, pull the Han people out of the city of Guzang, and then let them expose their identity." Weakness is like exposing the heart of cattle and sheep...and then a knife...fatal! 』

  『Oh **** ho **** ho! 』

  『Yes, one kill! 』

  『Send the order down, prepare to go! Bei Gong shouted loudly, "Let the Han people know that this place belongs to us forever!" The Qiang people are all victorious! 』

  …\\(^o^)/\\(^o^)/\\(^o^)/…

   On the other side, when Zhang Liao finished his mission of patrolling around and walked into the lobby of Guzang, he found that besides Jia Xu and Jiang Yin, he also saw a familiar face, Ma Heng.

Zhang Liao stepped forward, grabbed Ma Heng, and patted his arms twice, "Hahaha, I knew you were coming two days ago... but I was thinking about sending someone out to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to arrive by yourself... Hahaha, how are you doing? How was the situation on the road? 』

  Ma Heng first saluted Zhang Liao, then turned his head to Jia Xu and said, "I am explaining to the envoy..."

  Jia Xu nodded, "Wen Yuan sit down first, let's listen together." 』

"...As expected..." Ma Heng pointed on the map, "Beigong sent people to contact the Qiang people on the south side of Qilian Mountain... According to our observations, some Qiang people have gradually left. Their pastures moved in the direction of Qilian Mountain...』

"Among these people, most of them are remnants of Xianling Qiang and Baima Qiang, as well as some horse thieves from Liangzhou and the Western Regions... I also pretended to be a group of horse thieves, and after a few days in it, I found that they did not have any affiliation. There is no fixed command..." Ma Heng said, "It is not ruled out that they are just the vanguard, and the people behind them have not yet appeared..."

  『The specific location is probably here...According to the inference of my subordinates and Yang Changshi, these people are Beigong’s hidden means...』Ma Heng clicked on the map, and then said, "Or the allies of the covenant..."

  Jia Xu nodded and said, "It's the covenant, the old covenant...the Korean covenant of that year, Ma Shoucheng's covenant...the Western Qiang League..."

  『Xiqiang Alliance? ’ Zhang Liao asked.

Jia Xu nodded, "The Qiang people divide things, the Eastern Qiang is close to the Han, and the Western Qiang... Most of them are in this area, and here... Very early on, these Qiang people had an agreement. When helping...」

"Don't think this sentence sounds a bit empty...it is a foundation that has supported Xiqiang for so many years..." Jia Xu smiled, "If there were no such sentence, Xiqiang should have been driven out like the Huns a hundred years ago. Run away...It's just a pity that the Qiang people don't know at all, they chose the wrong leader at the beginning, and the rest...』

  Jia Xu sighed slightly, "Tell me about the arrangement on Yang Changshi's side..."

"Yang Changshi means..." Ma Heng pointed to the map, "These people should gather in the north of the West Sea, and then go out of Linqiang, go to Xiping, and go around Jincheng... as the saying goes, sinking sand and breaking water, hitting halfway...wait In the middle of its journey, send troops to encircle and wipe them out, it should be possible to pacify them! 』

"Besides..." Ma Heng said, "This time, on the south side of Qilian Mountain, because the lord sent Buddhist monks to preach, there were also differences... Some people think that the previous covenant should be followed, while others think it should be...how? Say it? Guard their "karma"? That’s probably what it means, I don’t want to get involved in this matter, so it might be a bit difficult to catch them all in one go...』

The south of Qilian Mountains is the snow area, and the area is too huge. Up to now, it has controlled Xiping, Poqiang and other places, and Tubo and other places are controlled by the Qiang people. In the north of the snow area near Qilian Mountain, There are also small tribes scattered everywhere, only missionaries go there.

  So this time is considered a crisis...

   There are risks, but also opportunities.

"There are only two directions on the Beigong side, one is to attack Zhangye, the other is to attack here," Jia Xu finally concluded, "If they don't move, it's difficult for us to deal with... So, as long as they move, their goal will be will be revealed...'

  『We station troops here to tell them not to come here...so the most likely direction for them to attack is here...to divert us away, and then make us difficult to care about...』

  …(`dish)…

  The sky is the Qilian Mountains, shrouded in the night, like a giant sleeping, looking mysterious and solemn.

  Bei Gong sat on the horseback, looking out, like a statue, motionless.

  A Qiang cavalry came galloping, panting.

  『My lord! I have already contacted the people from Xian Ling Qiang... They said they have arrived at the West Sea and are gathering to cross Qilian Mountains...』

  Bei Gong opened his eyes suddenly, "Okay! 』

"There are not many Han troops in Zhangye," Bei Gong said loudly, "and there are still our people in the city... So now, as long as Zhangye is captured... the Han people should be the ones who are anxious... Once they come out from Guzang, then Attacking from both sides... Hahaha... Send the order, Tianming, attack! Take down Dandan City first! 』

  …(*≧∪≦)…

   Delete Dan City.

   At the intersection of the city, the supplies and luggage that could not be taken away were all piled up in one place.

  『Is everyone gone? ’ asked the Marquis guarding the city, ‘Go into the alley and shout again! 』

  Zandan is a small town, very small, from the east to the west of the city, that is, less than one mile, a street from east to west, and a few small alleys from north to south, that's all. The city wall is also an earthen wall of less than two feet, and the green bricks on the surface have not been replenished, and yellow adobes are exposed in some places. There are no suspension bridges and moats, and the fortifications are very simple.

  For a small city like this, even if the Qiang people don't have the equipment to attack the city, it is not difficult to capture it.

  So, abandoning the city and going to a bigger city is naturally the best choice.

   But not all are willing to leave.

  After the soldiers dispersed again and went to the city to shout and search, some people were found sporadically...

  "Third Master..." Junhou was taken aback, "Third Master! Didn't you already leave yesterday? ! 』

  The third master sighed, "His baby, I can't bear it, I came back halfway..."

"no! Hi! ’ Junhou slapped his thigh straight, ‘You are! Hi! What are you doing back here! hurry up! Come a few people! As for the carriage, let’s get another cart…”

  『He wow...』 The third master took a step forward, 『No need! Really no need... I have been here since I was a child... This is my root, it is useless to leave at this age... You go, leave us alone, really, I am serious...』

  『Third Lord! ’ The Marquis was in a hurry, ‘No, you have to listen to me…’

  Third Master frowned, "What? Who do you listen to? Ok? When your father comes, he will call me a big life, how dare your grandson tell me to listen to you? Against you! What are you doing? What are you staring at, get out of here! Is this going to be burned? Where is the fire? bring here! I'll burn it for you, you guys... Get out, get out! 』

  『Third Lord…』

  Jun Hou waited to persuade, but saw a scout rushing towards him, before the man arrived, the voice came first, "Come on!" The Qiang people are coming! Fifty miles, fifty miles! 』

"quick! you go! The third master gave Junhou a sharp push, "Listen to me!" go! Otherwise, these children will be killed by you! 』

  Junhou's eyes turned red, he kowtowed to the third master on the ground, then stood up, and roared with the veins on his neck: "Go! 』

  The Third Master stood at the street corner, watching the Marquis Jun lead the people towards Jiuquan, smiled slightly, and even waved his hand to drive away...

  Bei Gong was on horseback, looked up and saw the black smoke suddenly rising from Zendan City, was stunned for a moment, and then understood. Suddenly a surge of anger rose in his chest. Although he said he hadn't taken down the Dandan City, Beigong had already subconsciously counted everything in the Dandan City on his account. Now he saw someone destroying "his" property , how can you not be angry?

  『Order! The first two tribes catch up with me! Kill those escaped Han Chinese! Bei Gong shouted loudly, and then pointed to Zendan City, "The rest of the people quickly enter the city and put out the fire!" 』
