On the second day, people in front of Duanjiawu Fort shouted "Ma Xi".

The Han and Qiang people rushed to see the excitement.

The three chiefs of the Qiang people, Erhe Shao Ge, Fuzong, Mo Zhechang, were all present.

It is clear at a glance who is Han and who is Qiang.

Even though the Han people were poor, their clothes generally looked neat and clean, and they tried their best to maintain their dignity.

The Qiang people are really eye-catching. They are all skinny, with all kinds of cloth strips randomly wrapped around their bodies, and their hair is as fluffy as straw, as if they are a group of beggars who come to beg for food.

It can be seen from this that life is not easy for the Qiang people in Longyou.

Although Qiang and Di were treated together in this era, the Di people were more sinicized, as can be seen from their names.

"I thoroughly inspected this fort yesterday, and there was no Qiang woman inside. Why Shao Ge? Could it be that you deceived someone?" Xiahou Ba said with an angry look on his face.

Xiahou Ba's power was so powerful that once it broke out, everyone present was frightened.

Erhe Shaoge shook his body and said, "If the two daughters of the subordinates are not in the fort, they must have been hidden by Duan Kui."

Duan Kui said angrily: "You are so slanderous, my Duan family has been in the northwest for 130 years. How have we ever done anything wrong?"

"You know in your heart whether you have done it or not." Ohe Shaoge was afraid of Xiahou Ba, but not afraid of Duan Kui.

Xiahou Ba's face was as dark as water, "I'll give you one last chance. The Duan family will provide you with a thousand shi of food. How about letting this matter go?"

Duanjia Wubao was not big in the first place, and one thousand stones of grain was not a small sum. It could buy more than a hundred female slaves.

It is enough to feed a Qiang village until next spring plowing.

Duan Kui's face was ashen, but he was intimidated by Xiahou Ba's power and did not dare to object.

However, Ohe Shaoge's appetite did not end there. Seeing that Duan Kui did not speak, he thought he was timid. A Han Wubao must not have more than this.

"Thank you for your kindness, general, but my two daughters are as beautiful as pearls. I originally thought that after this year, I would give them to the former general as concubines. I didn't expect that something like this would happen. I really don't have the face to face the village elders...

"

As he spoke, he started to cry, which aroused sympathy and indignation from the Qiang people.

"The Duan family is too bullying."

"Is it possible that we Qiang people are easy to bully?"

…

The former general was Guo Huai.

Hungry He Shao Ge obviously didn't have any good intentions in dragging him out.

The nominal leader of the entire Yongliang army was Xiahou Xuan, the general in charge of conquering the west of Yongliang.

But at the moment, Guo Huai, the former general and governor of Yongzhou, is obviously more powerful than Xia Houxuan.

In the land of Yongliang, Xiahouba is the only one left.

The Qiang people did not dare to offend Deng Ai of Nan'an and Guo Huai of Wudu, but they chose to offend Xiahou Ba.

There may not be any other secrets in it.

It is said that the folk customs in the northwest are simple and tough, but Erhe Shaoge refreshed Yang Zheng's impression.

It should be that unruly people come out of poor mountains and harsh ridges.

The hysterical performance of Erhe Shaoge brought the anger of the Qiang people to its peak.

The crowd became more noisy and violent.

"That's enough!" Xiahou Ba yelled, "In that case, I asked you to search the Wubao by yourself. If you find anything in the Wubao, everything in the Wubao will be yours. If you can't find it, don't blame the military law for being ruthless.

.”

Ohe Shaoge's eyes rolled around a few times, "General, if the Duan family hides someone else, how can we find him here?"

This guy quickly grasped the key.

"The Duan family does not have a mansion in Didao City. There is only one nearby manor. Your daughter was kidnapped yesterday. If she is not in this Wubao, where can she hide her?"

The Duan family robbed it!"

Erhe Shaoge couldn't help but shrink his neck and looked at Duanjia Wubao with squinted eyes, a look of greed on his face.

Yang Zheng stared at him as if he was watching a fish about to take the bait.

The other Qiang people were also upright and clamored to enter the fort.

Erhe Shaoge squinted at Wubao and then at Xiahou Ba, with an expression on his face that alternated between greed and confusion.

Yang Zheng's heart tightened, the critical moment had arrived.

Duan Kui bowed in front of Xiahou Ba and said, "General Xiahou, my Duan family has been farming here for six years. There is only food in the fort and there are no Qiang women. The general is aware of this."

It was this sentence that helped Erhe Shaoge make his final decision.

The value of food in this world is self-evident.

It takes six years for a Wubao to accumulate grain, which is not a small amount.

With food, there are so many things that can be done.

It can turn a small village into a large village, quickly recruit refugees, and even exchange weapons.

Erhe Shaoge's yellow-orange eyes were constantly glowing.

He was able to calm down, but the other leaders could not remain calm, and they were crowded into the fort by the Qiang people.

Ohe Shaoge's slippery eyes swept over Xiahou Ba, then Duan Kui, then the Qiang man who lost control, and finally couldn't help it...

The laughter of the Qiang people came from the Wubao from time to time.

Duan Kui's face gradually turned pale.

The other Han people also looked discouraged and looked at Xiahou Ba with disappointment.

Xiahou Ba glanced at Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng was also sweating in his heart.

Many things are planned by people, but whether they can be achieved or not depends on heaven.

There is no foolproof strategy.

However, Yang Zheng was moved by Xiahou Ba's trust.

If Cao Shuang could trust him so much, perhaps the Cao family's tragic end would not have happened.

With a wave of his hand, his four hundred cavalrymen blocked the front door, and five hundred soldiers blocked the back door.

Xiahou Ba snapped his fingers in the sky, and suddenly there was a shaking sound from the earth outside the valley.

The rumble of war drums came from the high hills, like a flash flood.

Not long after, rows of soldiers with bright armor came in along the river. Their shields were like mountains, their spears were like forests, their flags were like fire, and their cavalry were like the wind.

The Qiang people who stayed outside Wubao suddenly changed their expressions.

The laughter in Wubao also stopped abruptly.

In the land of long-lasting war in the northwest, no one knows what this means.

Many people ran out in a panic, carrying looted food on their backs, and were pushed to the ground by the Wei army in front of Wubao.

"General, what are you doing?" Ohe Shaoge had just entered and left before he could even burn the incense.

Xiahou Ba had a sullen face and pointed his halberd with murderous intent: "If you find the Qiang girl, Duan Kui will bully you and others. If you don't find the Qiang girl, she will rob you of money and food. This is rebellion and rebellion, a major crime of the Yi tribe!"

Each word is like a knife or a spear, piercing the enemy to burn the sword.

Erhe Shaoge's body shook.

He can falsely accuse others, but others can't retaliate in the same way.

Now it seems that this is not a slander, the Qiang people are indeed looting the things in the fort.

Erhe Shaoge stared at Xiahou Ba like a wolf forced into a corner, "General, do you want to use this to kill us?"

As expected of the leader of the Qiang people, he has some political acumen.

There are three leaders of the Qiang people here. If they can be killed in one fell swoop, the Qiang people will be scattered and they can seize the opportunity to send troops to the Qiang stronghold. Longxi will be at least stable for six or seven years.

However, once this case is opened, I am afraid that the entire Qiang people in Longyou will stand on the opposite side of Wei.

Longyou connects to Hexi, and there are many Yi and few Han.

If you are not careful, the centuries-old war between Han and Qiang will happen again.

If it were just the Qiang people, that would be fine. The key point was that the Shu people were watching eagerly.

Xiahou Ba was an important general in the imperial court. He had just been in office for a year and his foundation was not stable. Erhe Shaoge dared to cause trouble for him, which shows that the Qiang people had already had evil intentions.

Xiahou Ba snorted coldly and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"I'm afraid the general will be disappointed." A smile suddenly appeared on Oho Shaoge's face, "Bring the people up!"

Several Qiang men came forward carrying six women.

Looking at the clothing, there are Qiang women and Han women.

Duan Kui's face darkened, "How, how is this possible?"

Oho Shaoge laughed loudly.

Xiahou Ba's eyes turned to Yang Zheng again.
