Chapter 552: The elders guess, the patriarch is uneasy
Chapter 552: The elders speculate and the clan leader is uneasy
"Then who is pretending to be this fake army?"
Someone asked in confusion.
The great elder said thoughtfully, "Didn't we get news before that a small local tribe had defected to the Song army?
Although these small tribes are not strong in combat power, it is still easy to gather tens of thousands of people."
I have to say that this great elder is indeed a wise man of the Qiang tribe! Although he has not seen it with his own eyes, he has almost guessed the truth.
"We knew before that a war was going on in Chengdu Prefecture! The Tubo people wanted to capture Chengdu Prefecture as soon as possible to avoid any accidents! And in this case, the Song Army naturally wanted to rush over for rescue as soon as possible!"
"However, this Song army is obviously not a fool! Since he can regain the local tribes, we can't hide our secret connection with the Tubo people! And we, the Qiang people, are the only ones in the prefectures north of Chengdu that have any influence on the Song Dynasty.
The military is a threatening force."
"They never want to be threatened by our Qiang people in the rear during the war with the Tubo people.
Therefore, there are only two ways, one is to suppress us Qiang people directly, and the other is to find ways to intimidate us Qiang people so that we will not dare to take action.
And Song Jun obviously used the second method!"
"The Song Army has even guessed that we are worried about damage and will not take the initiative to fight them.
Therefore, this Song army is just a deception, or in other words, a fake to attract our attention and energy."
"Snapped!"
Someone slammed the table and shouted loudly, "This Song army is really cunning. Since they are fake! It's better to destroy this Song army directly."
Let them see how powerful we Qiang people are!"
Gu Wu also looked at the great elder searchingly.
However, after thinking for a moment, the great elder shook his head.
"Even if this Song army is fake, there are still 100,000 people, and there are real Song troops among them.
Therefore, even if we know that they are fake, it is not appropriate to fight them! Moreover, since the Song Army has captured Jiulong, it will not be long before they will fight the Tubo people in Chengdu Prefecture, so we still
There is a certain amount of time.”
"Now, the most important things are two questions that we must figure out!"
"The first question is that the time when Orchard and the others went was too coincidental. So, does the fall of Jiulong have anything to do with Orchard and the others?"
"It shouldn't matter! There's no news about Orchard and the others. Maybe they got lost because of the war.
After all, Orchard is our Qiang people and the backbone of our next generation. How could he help the Song army win Jiulong for no reason?"
Guwu said with some uncertainty.
The Great Elder did not refute, but continued, "Many of us should have been to Jiulong City.
If Jiulong City is closed and tens of thousands of troops are stationed there, I can't think of any way to capture Jiulong City, unless those Song troops are really heavenly soldiers and generals! Therefore, Jiulong City must take the initiative to open the gate, and the city
Only the outside army can capture Jiulong."
"But if the Tubo people discovered the Song army, they would certainly not be able to open the door to them.
So, tell me, how did the Song army capture Jiulong?"
"The Song army cannot open the city gate, but they will definitely not take any precautions against us Qiang and Tubo people! If Orchard went there and let the Tubo people open the gate, and the Song army took the opportunity to attack the city..."
The great elder's words stunned everyone present! They wanted to refute, but for a moment they didn't know how to speak.
Because, what the Great Elder said was right, apart from this method, they couldn't figure out how Jiulong City fell.
"If this is really the case, then we, the Qiang people, will be in big trouble."
The Great Elder said quietly, "Because the Tubo people will think that we are with the Song Army, and the Song Army knows that we are secretly united with the Tubo Army.
In this case, where will our Qiang people go..."
"Moreover, what role did the prefect Ye Mao play in this matter?"
"If it was really Orchard who helped the Song Army open Jiulong City, then why did Orchard do this?
Why would he betray the clan?
In the past few years, Ye Mao has been almost entirely under Orchard's surveillance, and we all know about Ye Mao's movements and thoughts from Orchard.
Are these true or false?
If it is false, then might the prefect Ye Mao have some tricks behind his back..."
These words made the scalps of the Qiang people present go numb! Indeed, if the great elder’s guess is true, then the Qiang people will definitely be in big trouble next.
Even now, it is unknown whether any of the Qiang people have been secretly controlled by Ye Mao!
Seeing the changing expressions of everyone, Gu Wu's expression became extremely serious.
"You all should retreat first. No one is allowed to spread the words of the great elder!"
Guwu suddenly said, "Great Elder, you stay here first, we have something important to discuss with you!"
When everyone had left the hall, Gu Wu came to stand next to the great elder and said, "Great elder, tell me, if this Orchard has really betrayed the clan and turned to Ye Mao, then among our clan,
, could someone have betrayed you?"
This is what Gu Wu is most worried about. If this matter cannot be resolved, I am afraid that the Qiang themselves will be in chaos without waiting for the Song army to come.
The great elder thought for a moment, and then said to Gu Wu, "Clan leader, please rest assured, I think this possibility is relatively small.
After all, let alone Ye Mao, even Orchard did not have much contact with other tribesmen except for some people under his command.
Therefore, Ye Mao probably has some backup plans, but it is almost impossible to completely extend his hand into the clan. We only need to take precautions secretly, and we must not go into a big fight!"
Hearing this, Gu Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good!"
"Great Elder, what should we do next?
After the Song army entered Chengdu Fulu, although no major war broke out, there were already several small-scale battles. Judging from the information we found, this Song army was obviously elite and extremely powerful.
And after they take Chengdu Prefecture, they will probably return to suppress us Qiang people! If this is the case, it will naturally be bad for us Qiang people..."
"It doesn't matter..." The great elder waved his hand, "We have two passes, Wuweishan Mountain and Jizong Pass. As long as these two passes are in our hands..."
Having said this, the great elder's expression suddenly changed and he shouted, "Not good!"
