It's not that the Great Elder never thought of sending someone to call those leaders back, but now that the battle in Liangzhou is tense, those younger leaders are all focused on making contributions, and I'm afraid no one will come back even if word of such a trivial matter reaches their ears.
Two hundred shepherds are easy to find, but the stomachs of the Huns cannot be filled at all.
This point, the Great Elder knows better than anyone else.
Back in the nearby village, the Great Elder asked the Qiang people to collect [-] sheep and prepare to send them to the Huns tomorrow morning.It was also this calm attitude that made the Qiang people very disappointed with this great elder who had been respected in daily life.
"It would have been great if I hadn't rejected Junshou Yan's opinion at the beginning."
Inside the sheep felt tent, the fire warmed the entire tent, and the Great Elder lying flat on the animal skin couch sighed sadly.
After determining the strategy of the Qiang people to govern the Qiang, Yan Xin originally planned to send [-] soldiers to guard Xi'an Yang and Chengyi.
But at that time, the Great Elder thought that Yan Xin was worried about the Qiang people, and deliberately sent the Han army soldiers under the name of protection, but in fact to monitor them.
Therefore, the Great Elder fought hard with reason, and he finally pushed the matter away.For this reason, he secretly rejoiced for a long time, and finally no longer had to be controlled by the Han people, and could freely carry out their grazing and farming life.
Now that I think about it, I really regret it.
"Great Elder, are you looking for me?"
The curtain of the tent was opened, and a girl in Qiang costume walked in. She had a pretty face, her eyes were like crescent moons, her voice was like a mountain magpie, and she exuded a youthful atmosphere.
The Great Elder was obviously very happy to see the girl, and waved at her, with a kind smile on his face: "It's Mu Ya, come, come and talk."
Mu Ya didn't know why the Great Elder called her here. Her background was only a little higher than that of ordinary Qiang people, and she was the daughter of a small tribal leader.She never thought that the First Elder would specially summon her, and she was overwhelmed by the flattery, she also put away her usual wildness, moved forward a little with lotus steps, and walked to the First Elder's bed.
Seeing the girl's cautious appearance, the elder waved his hands to comfort her: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a cannibal, just treat me like an ordinary old man."
"Yes." Mu Ya replied, still cautiously.
"Have you not seen Meng Qi for some time?" the Great Elder asked, as if it was a normal chat.
Mu Ya was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect that a person of the level of the Great Elder would know about this little guy Ma Chao.Unsure of her intentions, she answered truthfully for the time being: "As far as the Great Elder is concerned, Mu Ya hasn't seen him since the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."
"This kid is amazing, he will definitely be someone in the future."
The Great Elder smiled and praised, he had indeed never seen Ma Chao before.However, Lu Bu took away Ma Chao and Pang De from the heaven sacrifice ceremony. The elder who heard about this incident, for the sake of safety, inevitably had to investigate, and thus brought out the influence of Ma Teng and Mu Ya.
Fortunately, Ma Chao has the blood of the Qiang people, even if it is only a quarter of the blood.
Hearing the great elder praise Ma Chao, Mu Ya was also very happy, but she muttered: "That kid is not good for anything, he was a crybaby when he was young, and he didn't let anyone pinch his face..."
"In a moment, you will take your clansmen and lead hundreds of cattle and sheep to Wuyuan County to find Meng Qi, and meet General Du Liao who is stationed in the barracks by the way." The elder did not care about the little girl talking to herself, and mentioned got to the point.
The southern Xiongnu were aggressive, and if they wanted to get rid of their encroachment, they had to ask the prefect of Wuyuan for help.
But before Yan Xin said that he wanted to set up a county lieutenant, he was rejected by the elder with righteous words. Now he really can't bear to ask Yan Xin.
I had no choice but to come to a curve to save the country, and asked Mu Ya to go to Lu Bu for help, and asked him to send troops to help.
As for why he didn't go there by himself, the Great Elder remembered that he severely scolded Lu Bu at the ceremony, and he didn't know if he would hold a grudge.
So far, there is no other way.
Those two hundred sheep were just a tactic to slow down the troops. When Lu Bu came, the Huns would probably sell him to save face.
"Why are you looking for that general!" Mu Ya was obviously a bit reluctant, but she remembered clearly when Lu Bu lied to her by pretending to be a fool.
Women, old women, brides, and young girls, hate being deceived.
No matter what the purpose is, Lu Bu has always lied to her, which is indisputable.
"In the current situation, only he can save us."
Seeing that the girl didn't want to go, the elder tried to persuade him: "You have the best relationship with Meng Qi, and you are also his little cousin. Lu Bu is also very fond of him. Go talk to Meng Qi and ask him to invite Lu Bu to send troops. Come to rescue, there must be eighty to ninety percent sure that it will be done."
The girl stood there with a wooden stick, still not saying a word.
Seeing that Mu Ya refused to agree, the Great Elder coughed violently in anxiety: "Do you want me to kneel down and beg you before you are willing to go? Well, then accept my worship."
Saying that, the Great Elder struggled to get up from the bed, making a gesture to kneel down to Mu Ya.
The girl couldn't afford this, she hurried forward to support the body of the First Elder, stretched his back again, and reluctantly agreed.
It's not too late to do this.
Soon, the Great Elder arranged for several clansmen to take the cattle and sheep, and followed the girl to Wuyuan.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Girls go and come back.
There was surprise in the eyes of the great elder, and he asked, "Why are you back again?"
Mu Ya didn't answer, the Great Elder was anxious, and was about to ask again, but heard a slightly familiar voice: "Grand Elder, I haven't seen you for several months, are you all right?"
The curtain was lifted, revealing the tall figure of the person.
Mu Ya and his party had just traveled not far away when they met Lu Bu who was leading the cavalry of the Han family.
Hearing that the Great Elder was here, Lu Bu stopped by to have a look.
Lu Bu's sudden appearance caught the elder by surprise, he rubbed his old eyes, thinking it was his old eyes that were dim.When he saw Lu Bu really standing in the tent, the indescribable excitement almost made him cry on the spot.
"General Lu, save my Qiang people!" The elder moved his body to the side of the couch, looked at Lu Bu and begged.
"Why did the elder make such a statement?"
A little surprise appeared on Lu Bu's face. In his impression, the Great Elder of the Eastern Qiang Tribe was a wise elder, calm in dealing with things, and seeing everything clearly.But now the old man living on the couch has disheveled white hair and a haggard face, as if haggard. He is not as energetic as when we first met.
The great elder told Lu Bu what the Huns had done.
After hearing this, Lu Bu was furious, and scolded with an angry face: "How unreasonable is this, the county magistrate of this county! How dare you hide such a big matter and not report it! Go and call him!"
It was his idea that the Eastern Qiang people moved to Wuyuan, but the Huns dared to come to loot and kill people so blatantly.It was obvious that he, General Du Liao, was not taken seriously, or he didn't take the entire Han Dynasty seriously.
Lu Bu's angry reaction made the elder even more ashamed, and now that the matter has come to an end, he can only show his old face and tell the truth: "Returning to General Lu, everything is due to old age, stupidity and ignorance. The county has not set up a county captain, and now the people are slaughtered, the crime of old age is a great crime."
After listening to the statement of the great elder, Lu Bu immediately understood.No wonder they didn't hear any noise, because the county captain of Xi'an Yanglian didn't even set one up.It seems that the Great Elder still wants to guide the Qiang people to live in nomadic groups here, and continue to live his life as a local emperor.
Being able to allow the Qiang people to self-govern is already a blessing from heaven.How could they be allowed to establish armed forces in the county again? After all, the Xiqiang rebellion is the best lesson from the past.
Yan Xin was not at ease, and neither was the imperial court.
Linked back and forth, all of the present is purely done by the Great Elder himself.
Of course Lu Bu would not be so stupid as to speak out. Now he has a little bit of city power.
