The lights in the tent at Hengshan Camp were brightly lit.
Yang Lin cleared his throat and said: "The Khitans and Mongols will come to negotiate immediately. Only by stabilizing the old Xixia land can we increase our bargaining chips."
"First capture the Qiang in Hengshan, then use them to rule the party, and finally form a Qiang army that belongs to us."
"The Qiang soldiers are good at fighting, and the Hengshan Qiang are especially good at fighting. They must be used by me."
Zhong Shidao nodded. His thoughts were the same as Yang Lin's. After fighting in the northwest for a hundred years, no one knew that the Hengshan Qiang people were brave and good at fighting.
He paused and said in a deep voice: "Young Zai, if you come up and push the Xifeng clan too quickly, this tribe should not be underestimated. Even if you can wipe them out, you will inevitably lose troops and generals, and it will also destroy other Hengshan tribes."
The Qiang tribe is saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes, so why not give them a little benefit?"
Yang Lin stood up, walked back to his feet, pinched his chin and asked, "How far will it go?"
Zhongshidao said in a deep voice: "The Qiang people worship sheep and use sheep as their totem. Even now, they use sheep to divine fortune before going to war. Maybe we can start with this."
Such a warlike and fierce race actually used sheep as a totem. Yang Lin was a little surprised that he wanted to eat sheep. It seemed that the problem of the Northwest Qiang people would be easily solved in his own hands.
"Then give them the benefit of reputation. All Qiang people's activities such as sheep divination, sacrifices, and ceremonies must be presided over by the Xifeng clan. If you give them this invisible benefit and reputation, it will definitely make the Fangdang clan and
Mi Qin's family is full of jealousy and resentment, so they should fall out as soon as possible so that we can profit from it."
Everyone nodded in unison, secretly saying that he is indeed the young master, what a loss.
Thinking of having to coax the children when he went back, Yang Lin smiled and waved his hand and said: "I'm feeling tired today, so I won't go back. I'll spend one night at Hengshan Camp and come back tomorrow."
However, the generals of the Western Army did not want to accompany him to enjoy the wind in Hengshan, so they resigned with a smile. Yang Lin ordered that his own soldiers would make beds and pour water.
The Hengshan area has been plagued by wars for many years, and every stone has traces of arrows.
Yang Lin put on his big cloak and walked out of the tent. He happened to see Lu Qian and smiled and said, "Come with me for a tour."
Lu Qian promised and followed closely behind him.
In the northwest sky, if there are no dark clouds, the stars are as bright as diamonds, which is very beautiful.
When people are in the military camp, they must look solemn and dignified. Yang Lin straightened his back and patrolled around.
The Hengshan Camp was the base camp where the Western Army used to deal with the Xia thieves. It was here that Tong Guan, the once good brother in Yang Lin's heart and now the dead eunuch, sent his troops to attack Xixia by mistake.
Yang Lin kicked a stone and said, "I suddenly want to visit the place where Tong Guandian soldiers."
Lu Qian hesitated and said: "Young Zai, it's late at night, why don't we go tomorrow?"
"I will go back to Yan'an tomorrow and prepare to meet the Mongols. How can I have a chance?"
Although it was not far from the military camp, Lu Qian did not dare to neglect and called the soldiers from Long Live Camp to protect him.
As night fell, everyone in the camp, except for the patrolling night watch troops, was already sleeping in their tents.
I don’t know how many soldiers and horses are hidden in the foothills, but at this moment it is silent and only the sound of the howling wind is left.
At the gate of the village, the sentries, both bright and dark, were observing vigilantly. Suddenly, a group of soldiers in red shirts came up. One man walked outside the gate of the village and whispered: "Young Master is leaving the camp."
The village gate slowly opened, and Yang Lin took a few steps before a horse galloped over.
The guards drew their swords in their hands. When the knight on the opposite side approached, they realized that it was a Qiang girl.
Lu Qian's eyes were sharp and he whispered: "Young Zai, this is Su Kinye's daughter, Suina."
Yang Lin's eyes lit up and he said, "Let her come over."
Under the light of the torch, there was a trace of panic on the pretty face of the little Qiang girl, but she immediately calmed down, turned over and stepped forward.
Yang Lin secretly laughed in his heart, she was obviously an immature, spoiled and unruly little princess. This kind of woman thought she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, but she didn't know that Yang Lin had long since replaced her as a brainless and easily deceived type.
"It turns out to be Miss Suina from the Fine Seal Department. Why did you come to the camp so late?" Yang Lin said unhurriedly.
Suina was at a loss, and with a sense of grievance and impulsiveness, she came to the Hengshan Military Camp, wanting to undo the trouble she had caused during the day, but she didn't know what to do when she saw the real person.
Yang Lin waved his hand gently, Lu Qian flicked his eyelids, glanced at Suina and shook his head gently, then whispered: "Young Zai, no, this girl has some martial arts skills."
Yang Lin smiled and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, from my perspective, it's like putting a bid to sell Seoul."
The majestic Chiyang Zhenren still can't bully the little Aries.
"Young Zai's safety is the most important thing. It's better not to take risks if you mark your responsibilities."
"roll!"
Lu Qian had no choice but to spread out with the others, guarding the two people on the general platform in the middle from a distance.
Yang Lin pinched his waist and said with a smile: "Miss Suina, if you have anything to say now, you can say it freely."
Suina was obviously used to talking arrogantly to others, especially to young people like this. The young leader of a tribe in Hengshan also fawned over her when he met her.
Her tone was still a little arrogant, and she said: "It's my fault for laughing at you during the day, and you shouldn't be so stingy. Our Xifeng clan is the largest clan, why should we be controlled by Fang Dang and Mi Qin clan? I am now
To excuse you, could you withdraw the order?"
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Okay, but you have to show enough sincerity. It is too insincere to apologize by mouth."
Suina was stunned for a moment. She had grown up in the Qiang tribe and was used to seeing a lot of things in that area, but she didn't think of it for a moment.
Who would have thought that the well-dressed Han official in front of him would be more shameless than his barbaric uncles.
Her beautiful eyes widened and she stammered: "What do you mean?"
Yang Lin smiled and said: "You don't understand this? You just take off your clothes and let me play with you, and I will benefit you."
Suina was like a kitten with fried hair, scolding: "Shameless, I will kill you!"
Yang Lin spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter. If you want to see your people continue to suffer and be divided up by the imperial army and other Qiang people, you can just come."
Suina froze on the spot, as if her feet were filled with lead. Yang Lin sneered and said: "You keep telling me that your tribe is your tribe. You know how many good men there are. They are not afraid of dying for the tribe. How many knives have been taken on them? Liu
The blood dyed Wuding River red. Do they feel uncomfortable, do they feel any pain?
And what about you? The bones and blood of your ancestors, your father's exhausted calculations and management, are all in vain because of your petty willfulness. Doesn't your heart hurt? Now I just ask you to serve a man, you are all
Refuse, bah! Shameless!
Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Xi Feng clan? Are you worthy of your father? Do you still have any conscience?"
Tears kept falling from Suina's eyes, and she closed her eyes and said, "You are here, I am Suina. I will fight for the sake of the Feng clan. I am not a wolf-hearted person."
Yang Lin's eyes lit up, he took off his belt and said: "We Han people have a saying: bear a thorn to plead guilty. Come on, why are you holding the riding whip? Give it to me. Put your hands behind your back and hold your wrists together. That's it, tie it.
You can only apologize if you stay here."
Looking at Suina on the ground with whip marks all over her body, Yang Lin felt a little pity. While getting dressed, he said: "Don't worry, for your sake this time, I decided to appoint your father to be in charge of Qiang sacrifices and divination after I go back.
Regarding the celebration, I also ask the emperor to give you a golden sheep to the Xifeng clan, and to ensure that other tribes are not allowed to worship the goat god. This is all what you have earned for the Xifeng clan through your hard work."
